Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 785 - 440: Mastering Water and Wind, the Way of the Dragon King

"I wonder what Odin’s reincarnation is doing now. As a Wisdom Species, their situation must be a hundred times better than mine."

The drake serpent, tearing into flesh and refusing to spare a single drop of spilling, scattered blood, couldn’t help but fantasize about his companion’s comfortable life.

The hardships he endures now are indeed the worst in his dragon life. He has never suffered like this, but even so, he cannot give up and must grit his teeth and endure.

Life was hard, naturally making him envious of Odin’s reincarnation that might be enjoying a luxurious life, even though their slavery status would hardly hinder—with the perception and courage of a Divine King, breaking free must be effortless.

Noah couldn’t think of anything that could trap a Divine King, even with the mere status of a slave and a frail shell, but what of it?

Noah believed, even if he were in that position, he could still wreak havoc with the title and status of a slave. He has now become a small overlord in the water with his serpent’s body; surely a dignified Divine King would only be stronger.

"Sure enough, being a Divine King means being the protagonist of the era, where the fortune gathers, luck certainly is better than mine!"

After lamenting a bit, Noah also suppressed many miscellaneous thoughts in his heart. No matter how good a Divine King’s situation is now, they cannot help him in the short term.

Their reincarnations might not be on the same continent, and meeting up would be a hassle, so there’s no need to rely on them for the time being. Strengthening oneself first is the proper course.

"It’s time to prepare for the second transformation!"

After being fully fed and drunk, Noah felt the blood essence that he accumulated in his serpent’s body and silently estimated it, feeling somewhat satisfied.

However, before evolving and transforming, his body length had continuously grown during days and nights of furious hunting and growth, reaching over five meters, being a veritable Big Snake. Yet, he did not begin the transformation then; he was determined to clear all threatening creatures around him before the evolution.

Hence, this not-so-large water lake erupted once again into a bloody storm, as Noah, with this body of a not-yet-powerful jiao snake within the mortal realm, slaughtered all predators in the lake.

This time, it was a massacre not aimed at hunting but purely to eliminate threats. After slaughtering all creatures deemed as threats by his judgment throughout his activity range, Noah began his evolution once more.

In the initial stages of primitive accumulation, any waste is utterly shameful, and Noah never wasted anything, even though his body constantly conveyed the notion of being full and stuffed.

Yet Noah continued practicing tailored techniques for this body, converting ingested flesh into blood essence, storing between bones and flesh for the purpose of transformation.

Once Noah had eaten everything clean, not leaving a single residue, his body was so stuffed that he nearly couldn’t swim, and when Noah reached an underwater cave at a lush aquatic spot, the broken moon was almost entirely obscured.

This is a unique astronomical phenomenon of the Lower Continent, where, at certain times during day and night, the movements of the Upper Continent completely obscure the light from the stars and moon, plunging everything into total darkness. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

However, countless millennia of evolution have long allowed the environment to develop ways to cope with moments of complete darkness.

When the lightless darkness arrives, it’s instead the night scenery of the Lower Continent that is the most splendidly mesmerizing sight. The dim blue-purple glow arises from the roots and stems of plants, and specks of fireflies dance to embellish it, presenting a dazzling, colorful nighttime world in front of Noah.

Yet such beauty Noah has already admired, and he’s somewhat tired of it, unable to claim his attention. His focus is entirely gathered inwardly.

The abundant blood essence, about to erupt, under Noah’s manipulation, surged along predetermined routes, intertwining with flesh and bones and also rushing toward nonexistent meridians.

For ordinary mortal creatures, this is absolutely impossible, creating flesh tissue and organs that shouldn’t exist from nothingness, forcing bloodline advancement and driving the ascent of life levels.

Hiss~ Roar—

This is a horribly brutal process, where the serpent’s sinews and flesh are torn apart, bones and flesh separated, and newly grown flesh fills the gaps.

This unique aquatic monster repeatedly has its flesh torn and reorganized, while its body becomes increasingly massive, exuding a fierce aura.

During this process, two bulges on either side of the cloaca of the jiao serpent, positioned symmetrically, gradually protruded more and more bulging until finally splitting with a sound resembling fabric tearing.

Rip—

Two blood-drenched hind claws emerged from the tear, giving the previously odd-looking jiao snake a smooth and flawless feel. Its winding, slender form and newly grown limbs appeared more balanced now, without the previous illogical odd feel.

"Success!"

Though his head remained bald, and not even a pair of horns grew out, and the scales were still slender and thin, Noah felt satisfied now.
