...
At the peak of Horned Mountain, that wounded azure shadow was still swaying in the sky, much like an eaglet that had just learned to fly.
The thunder grew thicker with each bolt, and sparks densely covered the sky like a massive net, enveloping the heavens as if they were the claws and teeth of imperious celestial serpents!
The azure vertical pupils of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon still fixed their gaze upwards.
It didn't know at what point it would be considered to have ascended through the tribulation, it was simply flapping its wings, driven by instinct and an indomitable will.
Its whole body was in pain, far worse than if thorns had pierced through it, far worse than being shattered to pieces, even its very soul seemed as if it would be scattered by the thunder.
Inside its body, a warm current meandered, a gift from the power of the Platinum Cultivation Fruits.
