Dragon Tamer

Chapter 565: Chapter 567 Life Seed Green Thunder

…

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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Inside its body, a warm current meandered, a gift from the power of the Platinum Cultivation Fruits.

Its blood also carried a clear energy in circulation, the nourishment from the Ten Thousand Years Silver Fir Holy Dew.

Its feathers, its flesh, its bones, all were destroyed by the lightning, but its blood was boiling, and its soul was oscillating between dispersing and coalescing!

Suddenly, during a terrifying bolt of lightning, the soul underwent a metamorphosis as if shedding its shell. The dragon soul deepened, solidified, and seemed to transform into a giant soul shadow, tracing a sacred outline over the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s battered body!!

“Boom!!!!!”

The lightning streaked through the clouds, and the sacred dragon shadow appeared more magnificent, like a true Phoenix spreading its wings.

At that moment, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s blood boiled faster as drops of refined dragon essence spread to its destroyed bones, muscles, skin, and tail feathers, each drop brimming with tremendous regenerative power!!

The soul class metamorphosed, bloodline reshaped, body reconstructed!!

This was a rebirth from the brink of death. Any trace of wavering in the heart would lead to annihilation. An unwavering will is the soul’s ultimate protector, for as long as the will remains ignited, the soul will not die, will not be extinguished. As long as the soul persists, how could its body possibly fade away so easily!!

“Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!!!”

Two bolts of sky-penetrating thunder, but this time, instead of intertwining at the peak, they overlaid on the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon as it regenerated and transformed. Its stretching thunder wings appeared as the Phoenix feathers of its rebirth, shadowing the sky, and crowning its ascension!!!

Immense power from an extraordinary species infused into the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s body, and at this moment, it was no longer possible for the heavenly lightning to kill it. Therefore, the power of the heavenly lightning became the greatest life force for reconstructing its body. Lightning sculpted bone, crafted blood, transformed feathers, and the light of dawn even more so reflected its dragon soul upon the shadows of the sky!

Battling against the heavenly lightning, striking through the vast sky, all spirits orderly and ranked, but how could there not be a place for the Azure Dragon?!

Everybody knows of the Phoenix Nirvana, its glory, and dazzling brilliance that shocks the world, yet no one sees what the azure sparrow, the red bird, or the Azure Phoenix endured before their nirvana, their bones crushed over and over again!

Complete Period, Azure Phoenix Green Phoenix Dragon!

Life Seed—Green Thunder!

The clouds remained loftily suspended, the expanse of the sky vast and deep, but no more blinding lightning flashed within the clouds, nor could the roar of the heavens’ rage be heard above. The Azure Phoenix soared like a radiant azure sun in the sky, its blue bright brilliance spreading over the continuous mountain range!

“Shrill~~~~~~~~~~”

A long cry, feathers falling like a shower of green leaves around the peak of Horned Mountain, bringing a sense of tranquility and romance. However, as a streak of azure light struck down, a green feather sparked with electric ripples, and then all the fluttering green feathers generated such ripples, colliding with each other and igniting shocking bolts of azure lightning, instantly filling the area with electrical fury, even affecting the barren cedar forest!!

The entire mountaintop was suddenly filled with the scent of destruction, that green thunder carrying chains of lightning comparably as overshadowing as rolling thunder, like countless celestial serpents raging at the peak!!

The vengeful Mosquito Dragons lurking around realized the crisis when they saw the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon absorb the Thunderwing Sky Seed. So they scattered, little imagining that the Azure Phoenix Green Phoenix Dragon had sealed their fate!

The power of the Life Seed Green Thunder was extreme, covering the mountaintop, and as the electric ripples collided and propagated, the Mosquito Dragons had no place to hide!!

The air was immediately filled with the scent of charred flesh. Even the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon and the Sword Spirit Dragon may have struggled to slaughter the Mosquito Dragons en masse, but the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s Life Seed Green Thunder was the perfect nemesis for these “pest dragon” species, one azure spark avoided didn’t matter, for there were thousands more rippling chains, densely packed to the extreme, that would obliterate even the smallest of creatures!!

The scattered Mosquito Dragons were like a swarm of headless flies, unable to escape the lethal green thunder that decimated them, silencing the annoying “buzzing” at last.

At the mountaintop, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon watched the scene, its eyes widening in disbelief.

It was struggling to deal with the Mosquito Dragons, yet they were so easily obliterated in front of the Azure Phoenix Green Phoenix Dragon!

This was not only an ascension through the tribulation for the Azure Phoenix Green Phoenix Dragon but also a surge in strength. The level of its cultivation displayed was clearly Middle-level King Level!!

“`

From Peak Monarch Level, he had sky-rocketed to Middle-level King Level in the blink of an eye, and that was even when his cultivation hadn’t fully stabilized. If there were to be appropriate heavenly treasures and spiritual lands to come, wouldn’t there be hope to assault the Superior Dragon King level???

“Complete Period, Complete Period…”

Is this Little Qingzhuo’s Complete Period??

Zhu Minglang himself could hardly believe it; it seemed that because it had relied on its own strength to overcome this Dragon Disaster, its power had broken through to a realm even higher than he had anticipated!!

When the Fiend Star Dragon ascended back then, its strength was merely wavering between the preparatory stage and Lower-level King. After being continuously nourished by the blood of Ten Thousand Year Saint Sprits, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon finally stabilized its cultivation at the Lower-level King stage, and it was only by possessing two rare Void Crystals that it ascended to the Middle-level King Realm.

Little Qingzhuo was simultaneously ascending and advancing, skipping several ranks straight to the Middle-level King cultivation base, and the Life Seed Green Thunder it possessed seemed to be an extremely formidable divine skill within the King-Level Realm. How else could it have killed all but a few Mosquito Dragons?

“Mmmm~~~~~” The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon let out an aggrieved cry.

Why didn’t it have a Life Seed ability??

Back when it faced the Heaven Tribulation Falling Fire, it seems Zhu Minglang had borne the brunt of the final onslaught for it. Although the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had also successfully ascended, it didn’t possess a Life Seed like the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon!

Mr. Jinli had mentioned this to Zhu Minglang.

In this world, there are divine Gods and Divine Dragons, and beings that cross the Ascending Tribulation are effectively shedding their status as Ordinary Spirits, becoming “reservist Holy Spirits” with qualifications for Divine Enthronement.

As reservist Holy Spirits, it’s possible that they can wield the power of Holy Spirits.

Among them, the Life Pattern Seed is one such power. While not every King-level being possesses a Life Seed divine skill, beings do have a certain chance during their ascension and crossing tribulation to absorb their natural enemies or other species, transforming them into their own Life Seed, which is also the most reasonable way for a Life Seed to emerge. Any other way to obtain it would be even less likely.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon had no Life Seed.

If it had faced the Dragon Disaster on its own, maybe it would have obtained a Life Seed, but at the cost of perishing during the Crossing Tribulation and Ascending.

“It’s okay, one day you too will produce your own Life Seed,” Zhu Minglang consoled it.

The azure feathers tinged with strands of purple patterns, when all plumage lay tranquilly upon one another, a graceful wave from the Feather Crown to the tail feathers appeared, sporting an elegant lightning comb-like feather, which not only added radiant beauty to the form of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon but exuded a majestic demeanor of commanding thunder and lightning!

Its tail, now boasting seven strands, had become a-pure Phoenix Bloodline. Each tail, upon unfurling, displayed a stunning variety of hues: red-azure, indigo-azure, dark-green-azure, turquoise-azure, white-azure, gold-azure, and azure-azure.

All the feathers across its body also reflected these seven shades of azure. The outer and inner wing feathers consisted of dark-green firm feathers and white-azure soft feathers, while the neck area was adorned exclusively with the even more vibrant and regal red-azure feathers…

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon could be said to have inherited its past lineage; it lacked Dragon Scales, with the most striking feature being its Dragon Feathers, which presented in azure, but still provided a sense of opulent mottled beauty!

Of course, the occasional bursts of green thunder between feathers, which upon contact with any object could unleash terrifying bolts of lightning flame, ensured that the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon wasn’t just like a forest butterfly relying on its ostentatious display to intimidate foes—it could easily grind all enemies to dust!

Mounting the back of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, Zhu Minglang was caressing its newly-grown feathers…

Back when he held the faint Little Qingzhuo, as lifeless as a pup, Zhu Minglang never imagined such a day would come.

All he saw was this little guy’s gaze, a craving within the azure vertical pupils, not full of resentment toward this cruel world, but full of a tenacious desire to survive and hope for the future!

Zhu Minglang would never say to Little Qingzhuo, “You have not let me down.” From the start, Zhu Minglang knew, if the little guy could overcome the ordeal of a young dragon’s death, it would certainly stand out in the future!

A Dragon Shepherd should believe in his own dragon, and not just when it ascends through tribulation, but from the moment the Spirit Contract is signed!

“It’s time to completely deprive those Giant Ridge Generals of their airspace!” Zhu Minglang looked out from the mountain peak to see one Giant Ridge Demon Dragon after another appear in the skies above Absolute Ridge Chengbang.

Spreading its wings, Zhu Minglang, riding on the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon, flew toward Absolute Ridge Chengbang. The once-silenced thunder in the sky again began to densely populate the cloud-layer. As the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon flew skimming the cloud-sky, countless thunder flames, spectacular in their splendor, were seen escorting the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

The terrifying thunder flames once again dominated the sky, lashing and burning those Dragon Beasts that had flown high, but no longer targeting the Dragon Beasts of the Li Chuan Army but rather the Giant Ridge Demon Dragons of Absolute Ridge Chengbang, and the Mysterious Bird Flock summoned from Hidden Fog Island!

It could be said that once again, tight air control was implemented over the continuous Upper Isolated Ridge.

Only this time, the rulers of the Airspace Thunder Realm were Zhu Minglang and his Azure Dragon!
