Autrus locked onto the Black Dragon Niraseck, raising his sword single-handedly, compressing a powerful fighting spirit into the blade. The sword shone with an intense red light too dazzling to look at directly, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
Seeing Autrus' movements, the Black Dragon also didn't dare to be careless, aware that his opponent was about to use a powerful technique.
"Autrus, your greed has truly enraged a proud member of the dragon race," the Black Dragon roared angrily, its voice echoing throughout the Transverse Mountain Range.
The dragon's roar resounded from the Black Dragon's mouth, its body glowing brighter and brighter with purple light until it seemed to overshadow the sun itself.
"Both are about to use their powerful moves," Ye Han observed, retreating rapidly, stopping only after reaching a hundred zhang away. "This should be far enough," he thought. Now three hundred zhang away from the battle, he could still clearly feel the oppressive auras, which seemed to be growing stronger.
"The saintly order is truly terrifying," Ye Han reflected internally, also feeling fortunate about the events of that day. If the saintly order was this strong, then the ninth-order, being closest to the saintly order, must not be far behind.
Autrus continuously poured fighting spirit into his sword, which trembled slightly, causing a severe fluctuation of the world's vital energy. He soared into the sky, releasing an aura of extreme terror.
"One Sword to Break the Void!"
Autrus descended from above, his sword carrying the might of heaven and earth, his entire being along with the sword merging with the world, breaking through space, and rushing down towards the Black Dragon Niraseck below. The overwhelming aura and sword intent destroyed hundreds of zhang of trees on the ground.
Simultaneously, the Black Dragon Niraseck released a black dragon flame from its mouth. The space around the flame began to distort, indicating its immense heat. The purple glow on its body also converged with the dragon flame in an instant, forming a purple fire dragon larger than the Black Dragon itself.
"Flame Dragon Embracing the Sun!"
The Black Dragon roared, and the purple fire dragon immediately charged towards the rapidly descending Autrus. Then, a cataclysmic energy spread from the void, causing ripples in the empty space, and a series of explosions. Large clouds were shattered by the powerful energy fluctuations, spreading a mighty aura around, causing violent changes in the clouds. But the powerful moves of the two saintly orders did not dissipate.
The purple giant dragon continued to rise, and at that moment, a sword emitting intense red light pierced down through the body of the purple giant dragon, aiming for the Black Dragon below.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two massive explosions echoed across the Transverse Mountain Range. The powerful energy swept through the entire battle area, dispersing all the clouds within two hundred zhang in the sky. The ground also cracked open with huge fissures.
"Roar!" The Black Dragon roared to the sky, its enormous body now stained with golden dragon blood. Its once tightly packed large black scales were falling off in large pieces. One of its wings had a huge hole, and the sword that flew down from the sky was deeply embedded in the Black Dragon's body, with only the hilt still visible.
As the Black Dragon roared, a speck in the sky fell at a speed hard to catch with the naked eye. The gray robe was now tattered, with large patches of blood standing out starkly. This was Autrus, who had unleashed that earth-shattering sword move.
As Autrus had descended rapidly, the purple energy giant dragon had also surged upward. Using his centuries of combat experience, Autrus decided to concentrate his powerful fighting spirit in his hand, throwing his sword fiercely. However, the brief pause after releasing the sword left him without enough time to dodge the purple giant dragon's blast. A saintly order being could live for ten thousand years.
Watching Autrus fall, the enraged Black Dragon Niraseck flapped its wings quickly, its enormous body rapidly approaching Autrus. The copious golden dragon blood flowed more ferociously with the flapping wings, which pained Ye Han to see.
"That's dragon blood, the most potent blood. If I could absorb it, I'm sure my bloodline could fully awaken with its powerful energy," Ye Han thought to himself, licking his lips with a bloodthirsty look. He fantasized about some filthy things, his eyes revealing a greedy look, always watching the battle in the sky. He slowly moved closer to the battle area, but not too close, stopping at a hundred zhang.
"Die, lowly and greedy human," the Black Dragon roared furiously, its massive claw smashing down towards the falling Autrus. Just before it could reach him, Autrus dodged swiftly to the back. Missing the hit, the Black Dragon immediately pursued
, and a brutal, bloody melee unfolded before Ye Han.
They kept smashing into the ground, then flying up to fight again. The battle in the sky lasted from sunrise to sunset, leaving the area within a thousand zhang utterly devastated.
"Ha ha, foolish human, you actually dream of engaging in close combat with my dragon race," the Black Dragon's roar resounded in the sky. Ye Han was left speechless by the spectacle before him, with only the word "mighty" in his mind.
As time went on, the sky darkened, and both the man and the beast reached their limits, moving the battlefield from the sky to the ground.
When the moon rose in the sky, the battle between the two finally came to an end.
Deep, bone-deep wounds covered the Black Dragon's body, its originally black skin now changed color due to the golden blood. Its huge wings hung limply behind, full of holes larger than Ye Han's head, clearly showing the Black Dragon's condition.
Autrus was in even worse shape, his arms hanging limply, his body covered in large wounds that gushed blood. His gray robe had turned into strips of cloth. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
At this moment, both the man and the dragon were completely drained of energy, moving their bodies now a luxury. Seeing this, Ye Han rejoiced inwardly. He slowly emerged from his hiding place and cautiously approached the Black Dragon.
Suddenly, the Black Dragon turned its head to look at the approaching Ye Han, its large dragon eyes cold and emotionless, staring dead at Ye Han, who, startled by the dragon's gesture, immediately stood still, swallowing hard.
"Lowly human, what do you intend to do?" the Black Dragon said coldly. It tried to stand, but the pain from its wounds made it roar and collapse again.
Seeing this, Ye Han grew bolder and continued to approach the Black Dragon, ready to use his escape technique at a moment's notice should the dragon stir.
However, as Ye Han drew closer, the Black Dragon Niraseck just coldly watched him, making no move. Ye Han grew bolder and quicker.
"Do you think yourself proud? Do you think yourself noble?" Ye Han said coldly.
"The nobility of the dragon race is not something a lowly human like you can compare," the Black Dragon said coldly.
"Ha ha, noble? You're just a big lizard that can fly," Ye Han laughed loudly.
"Lowly human. You insult a noble dragon; I will cleanse your insult with your blood," the Black Dragon said angrily. Dragons detest being called lizards, and Ye Han had touched a nerve.
With a "roar," the Black Dragon struggled to flap its wings, swiping fiercely at Ye Han.
In the moment before the strike, Ye Han's body disappeared. His arrogant laughter echoed through the air.
"Big lizard, offer your blood, let my bloodline awaken. Ha ha," Ye Han's voice boomed as he appeared at the heart of the Black Dragon, his dagger slashing fiercely at the wound on the Black Dragon's heart. A large amount of golden blood flowed down with scorching heat, and Ye Han immediately opened his mouth, swallowing the dragon's blood greedily.
"Roar, lowly human. The dragon race will not let you go," the Black Dragon roared.
