Chapter 1 The Sudden Appearance of the Black Dragon

The sudden appearance of the Black Dragon caused everyone to gasp.

Although the Black Dragon that appeared was much smaller than a true dragon, the aura it exuded was terrifying, making everyone feel the vast difference in the levels of life. It was completely incomparable to other similar creatures they had encountered.

Many of those present had never seen a dragon, but detailed records could be found in the libraries of the various kingdoms and empires.

In the history of the Divine Domain Continent, many kingdoms and empires had been destroyed by dragons. Wherever dragons appeared, it was considered forbidden territory for humans.

Now, a living Black Dragon had appeared, and the results obtained from the Observation Skill were the same. How could this not surprise and terrify everyone present?

Black Dragon, Dragon, High Lord, Level 67, HP 24,000,000

"No! This dragon is just a High Lord!"

"Really, this dragon's level is high, but its tier is only a little stronger than a Tier 2 player, not even a Grand Lord."

"You scared me! I thought a powerful dragon had really been summoned. Turns out it's just a High Lord. Any of our teams could easily kill it."

The Dark Hunters and Shadow Claws members, who had initially felt a tremor, now realized that the Black Dragon before them might be a true dragon, but it was completely different from what was recorded in the data. According to the records, dragons were at least Tier 4, which was Legendary rank.

If they encountered such a dragon, they would probably turn and run, not daring to stay for even half a moment.

But dealing with a High Lord didn't worry anyone present. They had killed countless High Lords, including some Archaic species, so even if the creature before them was a true dragon, they had nothing to fear.

"I thought it was some amazing monster, but it's just a dragon that hasn't grown up yet." Tong Yuan immediately laughed, raising the greatsword in his hand and sweeping it towards the Black Dragon. "Get out of here!"

With a low roar, the black energy surrounding the greatsword surged, transforming into a black crescent that flew towards the Black Dragon.

Tier 3 Skill: Bursting Qi Slash!

The crescent-shaped sword Qi instantly tore through the air. From a distance, it looked as if the entire space had been split in two, and the powerful sword Qi gave even the players in the distance a feeling of oppression that made it hard to breathe.

Just as the black crescent was about to engulf the Black Dragon, the Black Dragon suddenly stretched out its claw covered in scales, which glowed with black flames, and directly grabbed at the crescent.

The black crescent touched the claw as if it had struck divine iron, stopping abruptly. The Black Dragon's claw was completely unharmed, and with a flick of the claw...

Bang!

The black crescent shattered inch by inch, turning into black dots that dissipated in the air as if it had never existed.

"This... this is impossible!" Tong Yuan stared fixedly at the dissipated Bursting Qi Slash, his eyes full of shock.

Having transformed into a Demon Weapon, he possessed the physique and strength of a Tier 3, coupled with Tier 3 skills. He had no problem dealing with normal Tier 3 professional players and could even overwhelm High Grand Lords of the same level.

But... he had been easily blocked by a Black Dragon that was only a High Lord, which had even crushed the Bursting Qi Slash he had unleashed.

How could this happen?

In his opinion, the worst outcome would have been a slight knockback of the Black Dragon; it couldn't have been worse than that. If things had gone well, he might have been able to blast the Black Dragon away with one blow. This should absolutely not have happened.

"What's going on with that Black Dragon? How can it be unscathed?" Shen Yin in the distance also watched with wide eyes.

"Is this the power of a dragon?" Undying Battle Heart and Feng Qianyu watched the scene of the Black Dragon crushing the sword Qi, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

They knew a lot about dragons, but even they were shocked to see a Black Dragon that was only a High Lord easily crush a Tier 3 skill unleashed by a Demon Weapon.

Looking at the Black Flame before them, they finally understood why dragons were called the embodiment of disaster.

"The power of a dragon is indeed strong!" Shi Feng, transformed into a Black Dragon, looked at his claws. He could fully feel the inexhaustible power in his body, and then looked at the Demon Weapon before him. "Your power is probably at the peak of Tier 3, but unfortunately, your level is a little low. Otherwise, you might really cause some trouble. Since you have already attacked, now it's my turn."

As a dragon, he was invincible at the same tier.

Even if he was just a High Lord now, he was still a Level 67 High Lord. Dragons had an extremely high life level, and each level increase resulted in a huge boost to their attributes. The players before him were only Level 55, a full twelve levels lower. Five levels was a small tier, and ten levels was a big tier. A difference of twelve levels was a qualitative change.

The Level 67 High Lord-ranked Black Dragon was even more powerful than a Level 55 Grand Lord-ranked Black Dragon. For a dragon invincible at the same tier, how could he possibly be an opponent to a Tier 3 Demon Weapon?

Demon Weapons, as ancient weapons, were only meant to deal with ordinary high-tier monsters. In front of a dragon, they were just trash.

As he spoke, the Black Dragon opened its large mouth and suddenly took a deep breath, instantly forming a huge magic array in front of him. A terrifying torrent of magical power frantically condensed in the center of the magic array.

Then, the Black Dragon roared.

Dragon's Breath!

In an instant, the scorching black flames engulfed Tong Yuan, and the flames spread to two hundred yards away. The vast field of vision became a fiery hell, and the painful wails and cries of the players constantly echoed from within the flames, followed by flashes of white light.

With just one breath, a full hundred players were reduced to ashes...

After the flames dissipated, a wide ravine had formed on the ground, even more terrifying and shocking than the Light of Mythology from Glorious Will.

Even Shi Feng, who had used the Dragon's Breath, was amazed by its power, not expecting it to be so immense.

At this time, only the Demon Weapon was still alive, but its HP had instantly dropped to less than one-third, leaving it with less than 100,000 HP. Visible cracks had even appeared on its hard, black armor...

The terrifying power left the entire scene in utter silence.

When Tong Yuan looked at the Black Dragon again, his eyes were filled with fear.

Before Tong Yuan could react, Shi Feng controlled the Dragon and pounced on him. The claws grabbed the Demon Weapon's helmet and slammed it to the ground, creating a deep pit, directly causing the Demon Weapon to lose more than 30,000 HP. Then, another claw, glowing with black flames, directly grabbed towards the Demon Weapon's chest, piercing through the armor. Tong Yuan couldn't help but scream.

Then, the entire Demon Weapon burst into flames, its HP dropping by 40,000, then another 40,000.

In an instant, the Demon Weapon's HP was completely devoured, turning into a ball of flames that disappeared, leaving only a deep pit on the ground...
