Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 976 - 535: Heavenly Demon Descent (Part 2)

Then, emerging from the flesh and blood of these Demon Dragons, dragons of the Dragon Clan with a single horn, extremely slender yet more ferocious, tore through the tattered membranes and desolate flesh.

King's Dragon Servant

When all the dragon attendants that were born crawled before the king, only then did the indifferent and unfeeling dragon eyes show slight ripples and waves, revealing a different change, as if some kind of bondage shackle had finally been unlocked.

"Thank you for the grace, O Sovereign!"

Endowed with heritage, wisdom, and consciousness, the Lord Demon Dragon gazed up at the sun suspended in the Sky Dome, crawling on the ground. He already knew everything, how he was born, and for what purpose his birth was intended, and the mission of his birth.

"Father, isn't this a bit too troublesome?"

Witnessing the ultimately born dragon, Illia looked at his father, unable to refrain from asking.

In his view, consuming the entirety of a blood pool's foundation to finally birth a Demon Dragon was already an extremely cumbersome process. Yet, his father added another layer of transformation on top of it.

Although it was to ensure the Dragon Species' loyalty to their bloodline origins and the creator master, preventing them from frequently producing rebels like the Five-Colored Dragon Clan.

This process of change was too cumbersome, and only under his father's care could it transform smoothly. If these conditions were absent in the natural environment, could it really evolve smoothly in the Abyss? If the number of these Lord Demon Dragons were less than the White Brilliance Dragons, what would be the point?

"It is indeed too cumbersome!"

Noah also felt that the birth process of the Lord Demon Dragon was overly complex. Regardless of the final result, such trouble alone makes it unnecessary to popularize,

"Perhaps, just retaining the final step would suffice!"

"Retain the final step?"

Illia was momentarily stunned but quickly understood his father's meaning.

Because he was not satisfied with the ultimately born Rebellious Bone Dragon, his father sent down a power to straightforwardly take everything from that Rebellious Bone Dragon and, using it as the foundation, nurtured a completely new Dragon Clan.

However, such a method is not limited to just the Rebellious Bone Dragon. It would also be feasible if used on other powerful demons, except,

"Is this too evil?"

Such naive and childish questions Illia did not voice. While he felt this approach was too extreme, targeting demons, any means would do as long as it could suppress and inhibit their power.

Thus, in the Abyss, at the cost of consuming a million demons and ravaging hundreds of blood pools, after a series of adjustments, the third Dragon Clan created by the Holy Dragon King Noah was finally born into the world.

Heavenly Demon Dragon

This is an extremely special type of Dragon Clan that, at birth, does not even have its own body; it is merely one Mystic Yellow Qi.

This Mystic Yellow Qi, once nurtured and formed, will scatter into thousands, merging into the bodies of many demons, causing them to uncontrollably begin fighting each other.

After endless cannibalism and combat, one demon will eventually prevail, swallowing the others affected by the black qi, becoming a gigantic magical creature gathering all life essences.

Finally, the re-fused Mystic Yellow Qi will—using this as a foundation—nurture a complete dragon body, to finally hatch, transforming into a Lord Demon Dragon.

After being born, the first action of a Lord Demon Dragon is to seek sufficiently strong demons, using their lives as the price to nurture their own Dragon Attendant.

As the Dragon Attendants born thereafter maintain absolute loyalty and are influenced by their nurturing vessels, under limited numbers, Lord Demon Dragons are exceedingly cautious, better none than less.

Any Lord Demon Dragon ambitious enough will spare no effort to slay enough demons, to possibly form a servant army with a sufficiently high average ceiling for themselves, that is the nature of beings.

Undoubtedly, this is the dragon species most repulsive and fear-inducing to demons, even more so than the Black Devouring Dragons.

However, those who repulse Heavenly Demon Dragons are not just demons; even Noah's progeny have made slight suggestions regarding the birth approach of Heavenly Demon Dragons.

"Father, do you truly intend to convert these faithful heroic spirits of yours into Heavenly Demon Dragons?"

"It's their own choice."

"Your will is their choice. As long as you order, these heroic spirits are willing to do anything for you."

"Are you afraid of the Heavenly Demon Dragon?"

Noah immediately saw through the unhidden concerns in his progeny's eyes.

"Yes."

Illia admitted straightforwardly,

"Such undying dragons are too terrifying. I cannot imagine what disaster they might cause if they appear outside the Abyss."

"No disaster will be caused."

Noah declared firmly.

"I know, with your suppression and constraint, the Heavenly Demon won't wreak havoc in the Material World, but you cannot maintain consciousness forever; you will eventually need to slumber."

Illia naturally wouldn't directly oppose his father; that would be too foolish,

"If, during your slumber, an accident befalls the Heavenly Demon Dragon, allowing it to enter the Material World, I cannot imagine the disaster that would ensue."

Though lacking actual battle evidence, Illia could roughly speculate that the Lord Demon Dragons transformed from Heavenly Demon Dragons, even if their bodies were destroyed, wouldn't die but revert back into Heavenly Demon Dragons.

In a sense, Heavenly Demon Dragons are an undying existence, except this undying basis originates from his father. As long as his father exists for a single day, Heavenly Demon Dragons will not perish. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Do you neither trust me nor the Dragon-men of the Heroic Spirit Hall? Then what do you think should be done? Completely seal the Heavenly Demons?"

"That is indeed what I hope for, but I can't sway your will, so I can only hope that when you need slumber, all Heavenly Demon Dragons can be recalled, not allowing them any chance to enter the Material Realm."

Illia requested.

"As you wish, provided I need to slumber."

Noah also understood the terror of Heavenly Demon Dragons.

For beings of the mundane world, this dragon is nearly unsolvable, as Heavenly Demon Dragons don't have tangible forms. Even the bodies they construct exist solely for more efficient slaughter; fortunately, all this targets demons in the Abyss.

"Will you create more Dragon Species?"

"Not for now, the Heavenly Demon Dragon suffices."

In contrast to the frequently stolen Black Devouring Dragons and the defenseless Dragon Trees, which ultimately forewent defense and abundantly spread to the Material World for promiscuous distribution,

The Heavenly Demon Dragon undoubtedly requires no anti-theft measures, for each is directly connected to Noah; their essence is the Dragon-men heroic spirits in the Heroic Spirit Hall.

Noah, using these Dragon-men heroic spirits as a base, infused massive amounts of Power of Faith, twisting and transforming their soul essence into a wisp of Undying Profound Yellow Qi.

Upon reaching this step, these Heavenly Demon Dragons can perform the Heavenly Demon Descent. Every descent is an unspeakably profound disaster to the demons.

Regardless of its success, the descent of the Heavenly Demon Dragon inevitably brings significant death. If the descent succeeds, birthing a Lord Demon Dragon possessing a corporeal form, then a Dragon Servant Legion, motivated by slaughter and conquest, would also emerge.

What a Lord Demon Dragon possessing a Dragon Servant Legion would engage in needs no words; it's a dragon that, from the moment of its birth, carries unending bloodshed, inevitably bringing mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Noah's eldest child, Illia, harbors justified fears and concerns regarding this dragon.

However, with the restraint of the Dragon King and the Dragon-men heroic spirits' exceptionally high moral standards, even as the number of Heavenly Demon Dragons begins to steadily grow, they are not expected to incite calamity in the Material World, as Heavenly Demon Dragons cannot reproduce; at least, conventional sexual reproduction is absent.
