Dragon Tamer-Chapter 327 - 329: How Tragic It Is to Be an Ant
Chapter 327: Chapter 329: How Tragic It Is to Be an Ant
Flaming Burning Sky, after the Undead Female Star Dragon ignited its soul, the Heavenly Fire Tribulation came wave after wave. From the initially falling fires, it turned into huge flaming spheres. When they emerged in the sky, they shone like dazzling stars, but as they neared the earth, these flaming spheres were as terrifying as mountains!
Such flaming meteoric mountains were already filled with tremendous explosive energy. As they fell from the sky dome ever faster, the destructive waves they stirred up when they impacted this piece of land were like a cataclysm that would extinguish all spirits.
On the plains of Runyu City, herds of cattle and sheep were abundant, and the forests housed millions of birds and beasts. In the face of such a disaster, they were the most insignificant; wherever the flaming meteoric mountains struck, tens of miles around were sure to see tens of thousands of lives tragically lost.
Everything turned to ashes, with Runyu City being no exception!
This Crossing Tribulation had a price tag that seemed to be the annihilation of all lives on this land!
Two Orderers had already flown towards the sky tumultuous with the undead flaming sea, using all their might to stop the Fiend Star Dragon from its Tribulation.
The Fiend Star Dragon kept climbing against the falling fires, as if it wanted to reach the other shore of the sky realm by riding the waterfall of falling fire.
Although Tu Wenhe was injured, he knew that these people had brought a catastrophe to this land. If they could not stop it, they would all be annihilated by the Fiend Star Dragon that had transformed into the Dragon King—not to mention the people in and around Runyu City, even the neighboring countries would not escape.
Standing on that Bronze Bone Dragon and bringing his three High Rank King Level dragons along, he flew into the meteoric rain of falling fires. Right now, they could only give it their all.
They had to make the Fiend Star Dragon fail its Crossing Tribulation, for only if it failed did they have a glimmer of hope!
The Necromantic Falling Fire brought forth a horrific tragedy. In the seventh great sign of the Female Star Dragon’s sacrifices, some of the weaker individuals were directly burned to death, while those with greater strength stood amidst the endless surging flames, yet had no courage to confront the dragon ascending through the Tribulation in the sky.
Knowing that once the Fiend Star Dragon became the Dragon King, no one could leave this place alive, they still harbored a sliver of hope, wishing to escape this Flaming Purgatory as quickly as possible!
Those with a modicum of courage, who had not reached High Rank King Level, could not even rush toward the exploding stream of falling fires.
At this moment, the Fiend Star Dragon had reached the high sky, and it seemed that if it could just climb above the rain of fire, it would have completed its Ascension, conforming to the signs of Heaven and transforming into the Dragon King.
Those capable of ascending against this stream of falling fires were just a few.
The first to rush to the apex of the sky to confront the Fiend Star Dragon was the Orderer Yan Guang.
As a Talisman Master, he almost sacrificed his life to invoke the Saint Thunder Talisman, summoning tens of thousands of holy thunders in the sky dome, bombarding the body of the Fiend Star Dragon undergoing its Tribulation.
These holy thunders shattered the Fiend Star Dragon’s dark golden new scales, revealing its flesh, but that flesh was like black jade, glossy and hard, impervious to just any force. frёewebnoѵēl.com
A burst of Dragon Breath, like a sky rainbow pouring out, could turn a mountain range into powder in an instant. Such power struck a God and Mortal Talisman Master, and no matter how high Yan Guang’s Cultivation Base was, no matter how thick his Saint Shield Talisman was, he couldn’t withstand such a destructive Dragon Breath.
Even though the Fiend Star Dragon’s dark golden new scales were broken, Orderer Yan Guang was severely injured and fell to the ground like a pebble.
He was wrapped in holy talismans like an armor, and when Yan Guang fell towards Runyu City, he almost shattered to pieces.
The people in the city, huddled together for mutual protection, watched in horror. Was even an Orderer so vulnerable??
And the Fiend Star Dragon has not yet completed its Tribulation!
If it truly became the Dragon King, how powerful would it be!
Zhu Minglang strode over and glanced at the Orderer Yan Guang, who had collapsed in a crater of the earth.
Yan Guang was not dead. He lay looking up at the sky that kept falling with heavenly fire, staring at the strikingly spectacular Tribulation vortex with pain in his eyes, but also envying.
Why wasn’t he, Yan Guang, the one Crossing Tribulation and Ascending!
Countless people in the world, whether human, Demon Spirit, or Dragon, could feel their insignificance under the cruel laws of nature, and were clearly aware of how fragile their lives really were.
That’s why they cultivated, that’s why they searched for the Dragon Gate, that’s why they longed to Cross Tribulation and Ascend…
In the end, how many could actually Ascend?
“Cough cough, do you find me ridiculous, to see a person like me end up… end up in such a state?” Yan Guang, seeing Zhu Minglang approaching, coughed up blood and spoke.
“Going against the current, in pursuit of the Heavenly Dao, there’s nothing ridiculous about that. You, Chang Hong, Tu Wenhe, Fiend Star Dragon, all of you were the ones on this land with the most hope of Ascending. But tonight, there can only be one king, and all others will become funeral sacrifices. In contrast, we observers are somewhat innocent; if the Fiend Star Dragon becomes the king, we will all pay the price for your failure,” Zhu Minglang walked up to Yan Guang.
“Take it, I know you want this thing.” Yan Guang coughed up more blood, passing the City Lord’s Seal to him.
Zhu Minglang didn’t stand on ceremony and took the City Lord’s Seal.
“You reap what you sow, there is no living through this. You’ve also doomed all of us!” Hu Bailing ran over, angrily accusing him.
“I won’t feel the slightest bit of guilt for involving innocent people in this catastrophe. In fact, I find you even more pitiable… At least I can still soar into the sky and fight with the Fiend Star Dragon, I can wrestle away the privilege of Ascension from it, whereas you can only shiver on the ground, not even in control of your own life and death. To be ants, how pitiable indeed.” Yan Guang laughed.
To be ants, how pitiable indeed…
He was mocking all those on this land who couldn’t struggle.
He was the master here; if he failed, everyone else would have to accompany him in death!
“You’re beyond any hope!” Hu Bailing said angrily.
“You all know nothing. Unascended beings merely scrounge by on the charity of Protectors. If I ascend and protect the Tea-colored Ground, averting calamities not seen in a century, would it be considered a grave sin or a blessing for all beings? It’s merely a matter of success or failure.” The blood spilling from Yan Guang’s mouth grew more profuse, and as he inched closer to death his resentment seemed to deepen, revealing his truest thoughts.
Zhu Minglang couldn’t be bothered to argue these meaningless points with a man on the brink of death.
What he needed to consider now was how to ensure everyone’s survival through this Dragon Cataclysm.
Yan Guang had already been disastrously defeated, with only Chang Hong and Tu Wenhe, the two Dragon Shepherds, holding on desperately. But judging by the situation, even they might not be able to land a critical blow to the Fiend Star Dragon undergoing its Tribulation…
“Young Master, I’m sorry, I should have foreseen this; I’m still too weak…” Li Xinghua said, her eyes cast down, feeling particularly guilty.
As a Prophet, failing to foresee such a portent was a total defeat.
While Yan Guang, as this land’s Orderer, felt no guilt or self-reproach, Li Xinghua felt her sins were heavy.
With so many revelations, why couldn’t she have deduced this outcome? In fact, if only they had stopped Tu Wenhe from summoning the Undead Female Star Dragon, none of this would have happened.
“Are we all going to die?” Fang Niannian asked earnestly. Though Nan Lingsha was currently protecting everyone, with the world around them hellish as Purgatory, fleeing seemed futile.
“Divine Jade, give it to me,” Nan Lingsha then reached out her hand and said to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang didn’t give it to her.
“There’s only one way. I will use the power of Soul Ignition…” Nan Lingsha said, very seriously.
“You will end up like Yunzhi,” said Zhu Minglang.
“Give it to me!” Nan Lingsha’s tone grew more insistent.
Zhu Minglang gazed up at the sky, observing Tu Wenhe’s Dragon King being torn to shreds by the Fiend Star Dragon, which the Dragon King also bit, tearing off a piece of its flesh before dying…
How could he let Nan Lingsha use the power of Soul Ignition when it had been such an ordeal to awaken Li Yunzi with the Ancient Lantern Jade? If his sister-in-law, the artist, were to fall into a sleep again, how would he get by?
Of course, Zhu Minglang would act.
But first, he needed the Orderer and the Hunter to serve as cannon fodder.
The Fiend Star Dragon was currently too strong. Without Yan Guang, Tu Wenhe, and Chang Hong first clashing with it to weaken its strength, it would be suicide for him to rush in.
Moreover, the Fire Trace Inscriptions were still voraciously consuming the flames of this world, requiring the markings to be tempered and elevated.
Only then could the true potential of the Fire Trace Sword be unleashed!
“We’ll join forces,” Nan Lingsha said upon seeing the brilliant light in Zhu Minglang’s pupils, knowing he was invoking the power of Sword Awakening.
“You protect Ling Sha and Yunzhi, protect Niannian, Hao Ye, Zhi Rou… The Falling Fire is going to get even stronger,” said Zhu Minglang, his eyes now otherworldly, his powerful sword intent sweeping through and even extinguishing much of the undead flames engulfing the city!
“You’ll die on your own. If I use Soul Ignition to help, at least…” Nan Lingsha said.
“You have no experience fighting King Level adversaries,” he replied.
“Do you?!” Nan Lingsha retorted, slightly angry.
“Yes, despite the heavy price… I’ve been fortunate to have met all of you,” acknowledged Zhu Minglang with a serious nod.
Nan Lingsha was stunned, her eyes, reddened by the fierce flames, fixed on Zhu Minglang.
When had he ever faced an Ascending King Level adversary?
Could it be the final battle before the downfall of the Sword Cultivator?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Minglang fully understood the terrifying strength of the King Level.

He had once severed the Veins of the Earth, yet only managed to sever one of that person’s arms. That battle not only caused Wutu to fall prematurely onto the Li Chuan Continent, but he also plunged into the maelstrom of the Void Sea.
It was the first time since leaving the Mountain Sword Sect that Zhu Minglang had felt such suffocating oppression. So he could understand why people like Yan Guang were so obsessed with reaching King Level!
Fortunately, the Fiend Star Dragon was still undergoing its Ascending Tribulation.
A Peak Monarch Level could barely manage a fight against it.
This time, the power of Sword Awakening was even more immense than before. With heavenly fire covering the sky, wave upon wave falling, while it helped mold the Fiend Star Dragon’s soul during its Tribulation, it also provided the Fire Trace Inscriptions with endless energy!
Perhaps, they truly could slay this Dragon undergoing its Tribulation…
Relying on his own Sword Territory, with Yan Guang, Tu Wenhe, and Chang Hong, these three formidable beings laying the groundwork, there should be a sliver of hope.
