Dragon Tamer

Chapter 326: Chapter 328 Crossing the Dragon’s Calamity
“Boom!!”

A burst of dragon saliva, yet it was thick with cursed flames, and the fiend spread the fierce blaze toward no other than Tu Wenhe.

Betrayal of the master!!

This undead female star dragon was actually betraying its master!

If not for the fact that beside Tu Wenhe stood an ancient bronze dragon guarding him, the terrible cursed flames might have reduced Tu Wenhe to ashes!

Tu Wenhe couldn’t believe it, and even felt a tremendous tearing pain in his chest, as the bonds of the soul contract were being ripped apart—an ordeal even more horrific than being flayed and stripped of tendons.

He endured, preventing himself from screaming out in anguish; his eyes filled with rage and humiliation.

The undead female star dragon was not all he had; at this moment, Tu Wenhe was willing to bear the torment of a soul wound, forcibly summoning three other dragon kings, seemingly determined to exterminate this traitorous dragon!

Tu Wenhe’s strength was indeed terrifying; the three dragon kings he summoned were all of high rank king level, and the ancient bronze dragon guarding by his side was even of the peak bronze dragon category…

“Crush it for me!!” Tu Wenhe’s expression was somewhat ferocious.

After absorbing the ancient soul of the mourning dragon within Runyu City, the power of the undead female star dragon reached its peak; however, it did not continue to entangle itself with Tu Wenhe’s three dragon kings but instead spread its wings, engulfed in undead flames, and began flying towards the clouds.

Rising continuously, the flames of the undead on its body formed a dazzling fireball, striking at the sky dome!

Climbing higher and higher, upon reaching the highest realm above the tea-colored ground, suddenly the dragon’s entire skeleton began to disintegrate in all directions, and the shocking flames from the undead soul turned into numerous terrifying fallting fires, plunging down onto the vast ground!!

Firefall!!!

The seventh great omen!!

This firefall wasn’t from beyond the earth, but instead transformed by an undead female star dragon striking at the sky dome; it seemed to burn its entire life force, eventually bringing down this terrifying heavenly fire with the flames of its soul, inflicting annihilation upon the land!

The firefall was resplendent to the extreme, filling the darkened world with a deadly opulence. Every streak of heavenly fire that touched the ground swept up a colossal wave of fire, ravaging forests, mountains, fertile soil!

As for Runyu City, the falling fire was even more dense, with no less than ten lethal heavenly fires descending. Forget about a city like Runyu—even a bustling capital might be wiped from existence under this onslaught of heavenly fire!

Inside Runyu City, countless scholars from the Godly Mortal Academy and soldiers from Slaughter Country were deployed, yet faced with such a tribulation of heavenly fire, they were utterly insignificant, any spark that fell upon them could dissolve their flesh into a puddle of blood…

Orderer Yan Guang and Chang Hong were both evading, struggling to fend for themselves and unable to look after the talisman masters of the Godly Mortal Academy.

And the army of Slaughter Country suffered even heavier losses. Nearly a hundred thousand elite troops—infantry, archers, siege weapon soldiers, grapnel soldiers—they were all trained to tackle powerful giant dragons but survived the undead flames under mere luck and in scant numbers.

It was believed that the undead female star dragon’s betrayal and self-destructive act were solely to clear the enemy for the Fiend Star Dragon, yet suddenly the Fiend Star Dragon also soared up, heading straight into the falling necromantic fire.

It’s scales shone with a dazzling dark gold hue, and as it leaped towards the heavenly fire, its entire being seemed enveloped in a mysterious golden radiance—sacred, noble, even its innate malevolence seemed overlaid with the auspicious light of a sovereign king, unparalleled and without equal in the world!

Both orderers’ cheeks were glowing red from the reflection of the death flame, as they looked up, faces filled with disbelief, at the Fiend Star Dragon undergoing transformation amidst the firefall…

Tu Wenhe was even more dumbfounded, his facial muscles trembling slightly!

This Fiend Star Dragon…

It was undergoing ascension tribulation through the firefall!!

“Dragon Disaster!!”

“This Fiend Star Dragon is undergoing its Dragon Disaster!!”

Both Orderers were dumbfounded. How could they have anticipated that this hunting mission would become the catalyst for the Fiend Star Dragon’s ascension and transformation!

In other words, the actions of the Undead Female Star Dragon were akin to stitching a wedding dress for its offspring. Using its own soul to ignite the Death Flame, it summoned a Heavenly Fire Tribulation, subsequently allowing the Fiend Star Dragon, just one step away from becoming the Dragon King, to complete this transformative calamity!

To sacrifice itself and give rise to a new Dragon King!

There was something fateful in the air…

Celestial signs descended!

The city of Runyu was enveloped in Undead Flames, the firelight making the dark night brighter than the midsummer sun. Li Xinghua, Zhu Minglang, and Nan Lingsha stood on the city’s edge, watching the Fiend Star Dragon soaring against the sky filled with falling fire.

They watched as its wings transformed, as its scales shed their old form, as its Dragon Horns changed shape, and as every piece of its skin was remodeled through the Trial by Fire – the phrase ‘rebirth through fire and brimstone’ did not even begin to cover it!

All seven evil omens came true!

But the celestial sign…

It was not a disaster, nor a war, nor an earth-shattering calamity—it was a dragon that had overcome the tribulations of the mortal world to incarnate as the Dragon King, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon!

“This is the celestial sign—the Tea-colored Ground will birth a Dragon King bearing a profound hatred for the people of this land and a deep enmity towards the rulers of this earth. Its birth signifies an extinction for the Tea-colored Ground,” Li Xinghua said in a daze, staring into the sky ablaze with falling fire.

The Prophet was powerless before such a celestial sign. She had done everything possible to mitigate the dangers of the great omens, yet she could not predict that all those omens were but sacrifices in preparation for the dragon’s ascension and coronation!

There was even a moment when Li Xinghua felt a chilling terror.

As if this hunt was not the masterful plan of the Tea-Colored Ground’s powerhouses, but instead, a meticulously crafted trap by the Fiend Star Dragon itself!

Humanity’s sins, greed, and ambitions all became the Fiend Star Dragon’s ladder to reach even higher realms!

“How could this be, how could this be!”

“It has become the Dragon King, and we all are going to die!!”

The two Orderers were nearly going mad. With their painstaking efforts to hunt the Fiend Star Dragon, they had inadvertently pushed it toward the pinnacle of Dragon King supremacy.

To become a Dragon King Level was a qualitative change. For all cultivators in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, stepping into the King Level was equivalent to ascending, a transcendence from the myriad spirits of this world, and, in the truest sense, attaining divinity. The Divine Skills they wielded were beyond the contestation of any being below the King Level!

Tu Wenhe, a ruler of a nation, now commanded an army of hundreds of thousands. But more than anyone else, he was aware that once the Fiend Star Dragon became a Dragon King, even a million soldiers could not offer him a shred of security. A King Level could single-handedly destroy a nation-state, no matter how elite its warriors or how many Divine and Mortals or Dragon Shepherds it possessed!

“We must stop it at all costs!” Yan Guang almost roared.

“Stop it, stop it, we cannot let it ascend, we must not!!” Chang Hong expressed his deepest fear.

Even under the cover of the Undead Heavenly Fire, they could not just wait to die. There was still a glimmer of hope—to inflict a heavy blow on the Fiend Star Dragon during its ascension!
