Under the Red Dragon

The vast and ancient Ultras Continent, a primal land akin to a world from a bygone era, stands in stark contrast to the realms of civilization, teeming with extraordinary beasts.

This continent, the first to emerge at the world's genesis, harbors the most primordial forces, drawing countless mystical and magical creatures to its embrace.

Its expanse rivals, and perhaps even surpasses, that of the civilized Eros Continent.

Even colossal dragons, beings capable of continuous growth until their dying breath, find themselves among the higher echelons of life here, no longer the apex predators they are on other continents.

The magical elements here are abundant, rivaling even the most magically rich locations in the world of Ikaniya.

Within the towering primeval forests, the roars and howls of beasts echo frequently, the sounds of savage species from ancient times, naturally formidable.

A massive raptor, akin to a colossal eagle, spans over twenty meters in length. Its talons, like hooks of dark iron, contrast with its three long tail feathers, whipping up gusts of wind as it streaks across the sky, a fleeting shadow moving at incredible speed.

It traverses the forest canopy as if it were an empty sky.

Yet, as this eagle-like raptor darts through the gaps in the dense forest, it seems to be restrained by an unseen force.

The raptor suddenly cries out in alarm, plummeting from the sky. Despite the frantic beating of its enormous wings, stirring up wind blades that slice through the surrounding forest leaves, it cannot regain altitude, its descent only accelerating.

However, in this forest clearing, it is not alone in being ensnared by this mysterious power; several other formidable creatures are similarly confined within the enigmatic field.

A thirty-meter-long serpent lizard, adorned with a single horn, writhes on the ground, its thick, blue-scaled body unable to advance even a single step. It can only extend its long tongue, hissing futilely into the air.

There is also a ferocious and formidable ancient crocodile, its sturdy hide comparable to a knight's armor, its massive frame supported by limbs like thick logs, yet it remains pinned to the ground, unable to move.

One by one, mighty beasts and extraordinary magical creatures, whether drawn or forced to this place, struggle in vain.

At the center of this scene, a vast, dark shadow serves as the epicenter of this field, the fulcrum of this mysterious domain.

Only upon closer inspection does it become clear that this dark shadow is not merely a shadow, but an immense dragon, its scales absorbing the sunlight from above.

Not only are the temperature and heat of the sunlight drawn into this massive dragon, but even the light itself, in its form as radiant waves, is absorbed by the dragon's scales, creating an area of near-total darkness around it.

The twenty-six-meter-long ancestral red dragon stands on its thick hind legs, its body a veritable nine-story building, an undeniable behemoth.

In Kalon's true vision, countless waves of magnetic and gravitational force ripple from his claws, subtly manipulated by his powerful mental strength.

These fluctuating lines of force envelop the surrounding hundreds of meters, instantly altering the gravitational pull, pinning the powerful ancient species to the ground, forcing them to utter low, mournful cries.

Through his battle with the legendary demon Sacres, Kalon, blessed with exceptional talent, an evolved brain, and aided by his sub-brain, has grasped the principles of interacting with laws and some of their applications.

Previously, Kalon's Earth Domain, though capable of immense destructive power through its sheer force, lacked finesse in its application.

But now, Kalon has begun to experiment, understanding the intent behind the creation of gravity spells, comprehending the rules governing their effects, and integrating them into his Earth Domain.

He now inflicts a gravitational force dozens of times their own weight upon these extraordinary magical creatures.

With a slight adjustment, he can confine these powerful beings without expending any extra energy.

And a force several times his own weight constantly envelops Kalon's body, like a layer of energy armor, protecting him and suppressing his physical form.

This allows the ancestral red dragon to constantly hone itself under pressure, unlocking its physical potential and strengthening its body day by day.

Do not underestimate this seemingly insignificant force; the ancestral red dragon's current bone and muscle density is terrifyingly high, making it a walking meteor of iron. Even the whales of the deep sea do not possess even half of the ancestral red dragon's weight.

A whale of thirty meters, as tall as ten buildings, can weigh up to two hundred tons due to the pressure of the deep sea. Although its structure is different from that of a dragon, its weight is still less than half of Kalon's.

And Kalon's current weight, although not precisely measured, can be roughly estimated by Kalon, who has an extremely precise understanding of his body, to be around two thousand tons, far heavier than other true dragons of the same age and size.

This is largely due to the hundreds of bones and thick scales that make up his body. Kalon's sheer weight alone can create an incredibly terrifying attack.

This is the result of Kalon's tireless research and evolutionary modifications. The remains of the legendary great demon have also brought Kalon a great deal of inspiration.

The bones of ordinary dragons are partially hollow, or contain bone marrow and dragon blood, or are naturally constructed like dragon horns.

But the bones inside Kalon's body are much thicker than those of ordinary dragons, and the dragon horns, formed from dragon bones, are completely solid.

The layers of flame and metallic patterns that wrap around the dragon horns, like natural law imprints, transform the ancestral red dragon's horns into conductors of the same rule attributes of magic, without isolating the transmission of magic.

With such terrifying body muscle and bone density, mundane weapons are incapable of harming him.

Only magical weapons with powerful enchantments have the potential to break through the scales of this red dragon, such as the dragon-slaying secret sword, the trump card of dragon-slaying teams against the dragon race.

But to come into contact with the ancestral red dragon's scales, one must first break through the four layers of domain protection.

Once the metal domain is deployed, metal weapons without powerful enhancements cannot approach the ancestral red dragon's domain range.

All metal is under the control of the ancestral red dragon's will, either repelled or submitted.

Or, like the legendary demon Sacres, one must use powerful weapons forged from materials that do not belong to ordinary iron to avoid being controlled and interfered with by the ancestral red dragon.

And once the fiery purgatory is unleashed, nothing will remain, even foreign magical elements will be devoured and burned by the ancestral red dragon's domain.

Weapons with powerful magical effects must also withstand the test of the fire domain, ensuring that the magical effects attached to the weapons cannot be destroyed by the ancestral red dragon's fire domain.

And the domain of imperial power is unavoidable, descending with the ancestral red dragon's will, omnipresent.

The current Earth Domain is like an inscription of the gravity laws behind the creation of gravity spells, with every bit of gravity under the control of the Earth Domain.

Now, Kalon, standing on the earth, unfolding layers of domain defense, can allow beings below the legendary level to attack, and others will find it difficult to break through his defense.

And on the earth, under the sun, Kalon's source of power is almost endless.

To face Kalon, one must first break the domain, and to break the domain, one must face Kalon.

Only absolute violence, or, like a legendary demon, beginning to dabble in the control of rules, has the hope of being able to do this.

"To be honest, even if I were to fight myself, without overwhelming absolute violence, I don't know how to defeat myself," Kalon said to himself, baring his fangs, countless wave lines jumping in his claws.

In Kalon's claws, a gravity wave, thirty meters long and two meters wide, jumped, turning into a substantial gravity energy, sweeping across the powerful creatures lying on the ground.

One by one, the powerful ancient species struggled weakly, pulled by the gravitational force field toward this gravity wave, gradually squeezing together.

In Kalon's claws, countless jumping magic runes instantly outlined a powerful spell, the nine-ring magic Time Ravage, suppressed by Kalon to the smallest power, that is, the smallest range of spell release effect.

However, coupled with the largest mass of the center in the gravity field condensed into a quality point, there is no need for Kalon to output any magic power, and the power of this spell instantly expands to the maximum.

One by one, the powerful remnants wailed in the fear of the arrival of death, and the shiny feathers and hard skin on their bodies seemed to be washed away by the water of time, aging and changing rapidly in an instant.

The feathers on the fierce eagle-like eagle dried up and became fragile and then fell off, the skin on its body also aged and wrinkled, and the once bright and piercing eyes also gradually became dim.

The hissing snake lizard's writhing body gradually became weak, and the shiny scales on its body also turned gray, dry and cracked, and then lay on the ground, silently.

One by one, powerful creatures, comparable to the powerful and ferocious species and extraordinary monsters in the world of Ikaniya, were instantly deprived of their lives by a simple spell in Kalon's hand, combined with the gravity rules of the Earth Domain.

Kalon raised his head, and the sunlight in the sky seemed to be absorbed by his dark golden pupils, taking away its temperature, heat, and radiation waves, and he held his claws empty.

A faint thunder and lightning flashed, and the metal particles in the suddenly expanding metal domain generated friction under the spontaneous inclination of gravity in the Earth Domain, and the electric light窜 back and forth in it, and the electrostatic magnetic field was generated in an instant.

The vector generated by the magnetic field, the direction and numerical value of the force and torque applied to each other in any position in space, are all under Kalon's control, and under the absolute calculation power, every force and torque applied to each other cannot escape his eyes.

Kalon showed his fangs and smiled faintly.

"Mortals can rely on knowledge to recognize the face of the four fundamental forces and master their use, and so can I,"

"The power that the Time Dragon can master, I can also use knowledge to use it. The power mastered by the three legendary dragon species is only the starting point. The laws of the universe contain thousands of things. If you are proud of the world with the abilities mastered by the legendary dragon species, then you are short-sighted."

"And even if both sides master the same power, the rational use of the power is also particularly important. Unfortunately, I still can't beat the ancient Time Dragon, a pervert, otherwise I would really like to see the power of these legendary dragon species."

Kalon converged his domain, transforming it back into an energy armor, existing close to his body.

So the natural wind began to flow, and as the wind blew, the bones and bodies of the giant beasts instantly turned into fly ash, scattered everywhere in the wind.

Many other people, learning magic and mastering the nine rings of magic as the ultimate goal.

But in Kalon's eyes, learning and mastering these powerful magics is just a stepping stone for himself to climb upward, and a means for himself to achieve his goals.

The rules behind the creation of these magics and the effects that can be triggered are the goals of Kalon's research.

Mortals divide magic into a series of schools such as plastic arts, necromancy, and elements, but in Kalon's eyes, all magic is classified as one school—the learnable school.

The lifespan and talent of mortals cannot support them in pursuing too much in their limited lives.

But Kalon is now, life is infinite, in the pursuit of learning is also in the infinite road.

Ordinary dragons fear and fear the transformation stage of ancient dragons. In front of the ancestral red dragon, it is not a difficult hurdle. As long as Kalon does not die prematurely, he is destined to survive to endless years later.

The long lifespan and outstanding talent make all magic in his eyes knowledge that can be explored. Specializing in one way can achieve extremely high achievements, but after all, it is not as good as climbing higher by reading all the mountains.

Kalon's huge body lay down, resting his thick tail under his chin, and the tip of the tail covered with fine dragon scales subconsciously stretched to his fangs, and he clicked his teeth like a molar stick.

The approach of the legendary demon Sacres brought some inspiration to Kalon. He was wondering if there was a rule that could accommodate all the laws in the world.

Those gods who are in the star realm of God are in control of the laws corresponding to their priesthood, so they have such powerful abilities, almost forever immortal and immortal.

These laws, in Kalon's memory, are also called Tao.

And in the world, is there a great road and law that can contain all the laws, all the abilities are within its scope, and having it is equivalent to having all the abilities?

Kalon didn't know yet, but the reason why he didn't cross the legend and now pays more attention to the development of being a dragon is to better build his own rule system, so as to carry his almost delusional idea.

Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground. In Kalon's eyes, even the abilities possessed by legendary dragon species are just one of countless laws in the world. It is an ability that he can gradually possess by spending time learning from the knowledge he has mastered.

Just like the knowledge left by the magic empire—the neutron star golem, there is knowledge about the use of strong interactions. However, limited to the lack of materials, Kalon is now unable to try to build such a powerful golem.

Of course, with Kalon's current ability, he can't actively collect and acquire such materials.

"His, I didn't feel pain when fighting, but why is this little injury so unbearable," Kalon made a hissing sound. Under the gradual engrossed thinking, his fangs actually bit through the scales on his tail when he unconsciously bit.

The facts prove that his teeth are sharper than his scale defense.

"Forget it, you have to eat one bite at a time, and fly one wing beat at a time. The journey of learning and exploration is endless. I am already terrifyingly strong,"

"Maybe I will be like that legendary demon, advancing and pioneering by gathering the masses, until I achieve my own goals,"

Karon thought proudly, licking the tip of his tail, subconsciously using the healing behavior from his childhood to glue his wounds with dragon saliva.

But the light band of magical runes condensed on his body automatically released a spell to heal the wound, causing Karon's tongue to get stuck on his fine scales.

"Hiss,"

Karon instantly frowned his fine scales between his eyebrows. It is difficult for outsiders to hurt him, but he can easily hurt himself because his power will not stop his actions.

Although the edges of the red dragon's scales are thick, they also have a metal-like sharpness, causing Karon's sensitive tongue to touch the scale stubble.

Karon smacked his upper palate, shook his huge head, and looked at the main root of the World Tree, which was rooted in the earth and growing from the distant plains.

The main root of the World Tree grew in this world like a thick tree. Some small roots were exposed outside the surface and had already begun to form small forests like weeping willows and banyan trees.

The empire's legions were building camps under the roots of the World Tree, establishing a connection to the empire's main camp and the space-time beacon in the world of Akani, for future travel.

In the connection of planes, the space-time beacon is a crucial link.

The time flow of some planes is not connected to the world of Akani. Without the calibration and guidance protection of the space-time beacon, the next time you return to this world from Akani, it may be a thousand years later.

This is also the reason why the empire could not rush to this world in the first time after the black dragon Rosani led the imperial army to descend, and the space-time beacon was invalidated and lost.

"It seems that we still need to wait for a while to use Ouwo to analyze the deep rules of this world after it is completely rooted in this world,"

Karon lowered his head again, resting his head on his tail, and then sank his mind into his body.

The evil dragon's blood flowing in the red dragon's body is like magma, but in Karon's body, the flames in the evil dragon's blood have almost condensed into flame patterns, just like the external manifestation of the law of flame, running in Karon's blood vessels.

This is also the root of Karon's dragon flame, which is enough to fight against the powerful power of the legendary demon. The flame talent of the ancestral red dragon has gained extremely deep mysteries in Karon's hands.

In the field of flame, Karon is confident that no one in the world of Akani, even a mage specializing in this kind of spell, can compare with him.

Crossing the long river of flowing flames, came to the ocean full of heart energy. This is the source of Karon's heart energy, the place where the authority of spirituality hangs.

The spiritual authority blooming with dazzling light is like a bright moon shining on Karon's heart energy ocean, constantly absorbing the spirituality of the spiritual field and nourishing Karon's soul.

And the source of Karon's heart energy is also the source of the golden empire's psychic warriors and casters. They are all affected by the ancestral red dragon, just like the dragonborn are affected by the dragon, and the seeds of psychic power are born.

Although Karon's heart energy and psychic power can be regarded as coming from the same source, there are still slight differences between them, just like a higher level. Karon can do what psychic power can do.

But Karon can do what psychic power cannot do.

Therefore, in the world, those inheritance system schools about the use of psychic power, in Karon's eyes, are also unified into one school - the learnable school.

Whether it is the psychic divination system, the psychic creation system, the psychic transformation system, the psychic self-shaping system, the psychic teleportation system, or the psychic enchantment system, these abilities only depend on whether Karon wants to or is willing to.

Just like the shapers, these can extract spiritual energy or other substances from other high-level planes, and cooperate with their own psychic power to create semi-solid or solid objects.

These created items can be weapons, armor, or animated constructs that obey the shapers to fight. This ability is more popular among the empire's legion warriors.

Those warriors are keen to create and add a layer of psychic light blade to their weapons, with the sharpness of cutting through everything, which is the favorite method of warriors whose muscles are full of brains.

What these warriors can have is just one of Karon's methods.

Karon's most powerful thing at present is his heart energy, which is as vast as the sea and has an inexhaustible driving force and source.

Crossing this vast ocean, Karon's consciousness sank, sinking into the depths of his evil dragon bloodline.

At the root of the ancestral evil dragon's true blood, that broken and complete bloodline root rune is like the genetic code that every dragon is born with, and is the source of every dragon's power and the general program of the bloodline.

It was only after Titch and Karon spent endless energy on research that they found this secret that exists in the depths of every dragon's bloodline.

"It seems to have grown a little bit," Karon transformed into a small red dragon, observing the source of his evil dragon in the depths of this blood-colored river.

"It seems that my speculation is correct. As long as the concept of dragon exists, there must be a root in the depths of their bloodline that is compatible with the dragon. By gradually completing it bit by bit, maybe I can cross the blockade of many dragon gods and transcend the ancestors in the mortal world and become the original dragon king who has long disappeared."

Karon grinned, clenched his claws, and chuckled softly.

Even if all the dragons in the world of Akani and even that universe are killed, it may not be possible to complete the root runes in this bloodline.

Because the roots on each dragon may be random or the same.

But Karon bypassed that universe and searched for the mystery of becoming the supreme bloodline in countless planes.

This also means that once he succeeds, even his creator, the five-colored dragon god Tiamat, or even Io, will not be able to influence his bloodline or belittle his dragon blood.

"Besides, becoming the first dragon is just a new starting point," Karon's laughter gradually became louder, like a manic laugh.

"Maybe, I can use the dragons of infinite planes as nourishment to become the first dragon alongside the original dragon god,"

Karon looked at the source of his bloodline and whispered: "Besides, why should I stick to the dragon's bloodline? The bloodlines of other powerful races may also form the nutrients of my power and complete myself."

"Well, but in this case, I must be cautious, otherwise, if the bloodline mutates, it would be bad if I become a monster. I am quite satisfied with my current appearance."

Karon's shadow was reflected in the blood river under his feet, revealing that charming face of all dragons. Even Karon himself couldn't help but take a few more glances. Everyone has a heart of narcissism.

"It seems that when I return to Akani, I have to see if there are any dragons around the empire who dare to cause trouble. I will just randomly select two lucky ones as my experimental subjects."

Karon's claws supported his chin, thinking.

"As the emperor of dragons, I am so benevolent, not taking their lives, but helping them to obtain stronger power. I am so responsible,"

"I think they should thank me!"

A faint laughter echoed in this blood-red illuminated space, and no one knew.

New month, I hope you all get better and better, and the author will also get better and better! Thank you all for your votes of support!
