Just as the light roared and was about to descend —
Time seemed to freeze.
The dazzling golden light cut through the clouds.
The air was swirled by the shock wave, and the clouds and mist dissipated into nothingness. At this moment, the light of the stars and the moon was overshadowed!
At this moment, Gao Chuan opened his eyes wide and stared at the light that contained a grand and mighty will. His mind was blank.
He was not the only one. Countless birds rose from the forest, flapping their wings. There were vague shadows shuttling through the bushes in panic. Every creature present could clearly feel that vast presence.
"What is this thing …"
Before he finished speaking, his soliloquy was interrupted by a violent roar — the golden light turned into a beam of light, wrapped in endless light and heat, and landed on the ground!
A mushroom cloud slowly rose. At this moment, the existence of vision and hearing became meaningless. The strong light that was enough to blind people and shatter their eardrums surged and drowned everything.
The trees, the mountains, the earth, the sky, everything began to tremble and shake. The earthquake opened cracks in the soil, and the grass and trees began to burn.
Moving his body behind a giant tree and covering his ears, Gao Chuan didn't know what to say, but there was a surge of excitement in his heart that he didn't know where it came from.
That should be the remnant will of the young man, who was excited by this power.
And Gao Chuan was the same.
This was a shock that surpassed all the descriptions in movies and novels. It directly and suddenly appeared in front of his eyes — while Gao Chuan was frightened and shocked, his heart was also jumping with joy.
This power of pure destruction — how desirable!
The shock wave caused by the explosion was still reverberating in the mountains, and the fierce wind carried high heat and set the woods ablaze. But even such a terrible blow didn't kill the monster in the village that was releasing endless malice.
A black shadow slowly rose from the ruins of the village. Previously, it seemed to have stayed underground, but this sword strike had forced it out.
The monster shook its body, and its scales rubbed against each other, sending out green-purple sparks and lightning. Its three pairs of eyes, which were as large as millstones, emitted a green-green light. Its huge mouth, which was full of fangs, opened, and just its breath was enough to spit out flames.
"Ow!!"
Raising its head, it let out an earth-shattering roar. With the help of the sparks spewing out of its mouth, Gao Chuan could clearly see a circular shockwave spreading out in all directions from the monster's mouth. At the same time, Gao Chuan also saw its full appearance.
What a frightening and majestic body it was …
Six eyes and three horns, a crocodile's mouth and gills, a snake's body and eagle's claws. Countless huge wall-like fins erected on its back … Except for the head that was slightly different, it was a legendary — dragon!
After the roar ended, it rose into the air. Its greenish-red fluorescence spread out like a fog. Its body swayed and it quickly flew towards the light spot in the distance. The wind brought about by its flight completely blew away the remains of the small mountain village below. A few pieces of charred wood were blown in front of Gao Chuan.
"This kind of strength … Compared to it, my brute force is not even worth mentioning …"
Looking at the sky in the distance, he murmured, "What kind of world is this?"
No one answered. Only a sudden burst of strong light turned the night sky into day.
Looking at the huge demon dragon and the light in the sky entangled together, Gao Chuan's mind suddenly surged with countless memories, and even turned into subtitles and pictures flashed before his eyes.
Monster beast.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were thousands of races living on the Tianyuan Continent. At that time, the vitality of heaven and earth was rich and spiritual, and each race had their own magical powers and cultural heritage.
The Ancients were one of the thousands of races. They were born with magical powers that could split mountains and rocks and stir up spiritual energy.
However, the Ancients were not intelligent. They did not produce, and they hunted other creatures for a living. They ate flesh and blood.
Although they had written history and hunting skills, they were more like half-beasts than humans. However, since seven thousand years ago, when the stars fell from the sky and shattered the original heaven and earth, the spiritual energy was no longer active.
Instead, it was very inert. Not only could it not provide for the thousands of races to strengthen their bodies, but it would also block the body's acupuncture points, making it impossible for the world to use magical powers.
After the Ancients lost their magical powers, due to the pressure of survival, they became more intelligent. In just a few decades, they found the path of cultivation again and separated themselves from the thousands of races, calling themselves humans.
At this time, most of the races that lost the protection of magical powers and spiritual energy lost their innate spiritual wisdom and civilization, degenerating into beasts. Some of the intelligent races that retained part of their physical abilities and some magical powers were called monsters by the Ancients. The two races fought each other since ancient times until now.
As for the other races that retained their spiritual wisdom and civilization without magical powers, they were constantly merged by the Ancients and gradually disappeared. Only a few tribes in the depths of the mountains were struggling at death's door.
As for the races that lost their physical strength, magical powers, and even spiritual wisdom along with the changes in vitality, they were called monsters.
Demonic beasts were different from ordinary wild beasts. They were the most outstanding ones among the wild beasts around them. Not only were their bodies stronger, but after atavism, they could even master magical powers. The best of them could even develop spiritual wisdom and become a great demon that could wreak havoc in an area.
Seeing this, Gao Chuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The monster dragon in front of him should have developed spiritual wisdom, a big monster that could overturn rivers and seas and move mountains.
At the same time, Gao Chuan's heart was filled with vigilance. This kind of knowledge could not be possessed by the young man — how could a mountain village hunter who only knew how to kill have this kind of knowledge?
Then, where did it come from?
Shaking his head, he ignored this strange place. No matter where it came from, it was useless to think about it here. So, he slowly walked towards the ruins of the village.
Standing on the hillside that was blown flat by the strong wind, he narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
From time to time, a glaring green-gold radiance would be emitted from the horizon. It was as if the sun had reappeared, the radiance spread for tens of miles in all directions. Along with the circular shockwave that was visible to the naked eye, the clouds were torn apart and blown away. Ten seconds later, a thunderous explosion was heard.
The light belt that was formed by the huge dragon was green-gold with a hint of purple. The three light spots that represented the practitioners were respectively gold, black, and orange.
They were entangled with each other endlessly.
However, it was very obvious that the light belt formed by the evil dragon was at a clear disadvantage. The three practitioners surrounded its huge body and launched all kinds of attacks. Occasionally, they would also join hands to fight it head-on, resulting in the strange phenomenon of returning to daytime.
However, these three practitioners also had no way to completely suppress that dragon-shaped huge beast. Because before Gao Chuan could reach the ruins at the foot of the mountain, that evil dragon saw that it was unable to gain any advantage and was even completely suppressed.
It spat out a green-red breath that forced the three practitioners to retreat. Then, it quickly escaped from the encirclement and escaped into the depths of the mountain. With a turn of its head, it disappeared into the earth and rocks.
And that breath hit a mountain peak in the distance. A green-red semicircle of light slowly rose from the violent wind and countless dust and rocks. It turned half of the mountain into nothingness. The golden-red magma slowly flowed down from the remaining part.
Gao Chuan stood on the hillside and looked at the melted mountain and the flowing golden magma. He truly felt how insignificant his own strength was.
Just the aftermath alone was enough to kill a hundred of him. Facing such power, how could he contend against it?
No, maybe, he could contend against it!
Just like what he saw before, the few light spots that flashed across the horizon. That must be the human practitioners. They also had the power to shock the heavens and were able to suppress that terrifying and tyrannical Great Demon with just their strength.
Then, how could one become this kind of expert? How could one become a practitioner?
The confusion after transmigrating, the lingering unwillingness of the youth, they were all treated as trash and swept to the side. Gao Chuan's thoughts had always been very direct — there was no point in being sad over the passing of seasons, so there was no need to care about it.
Because, it was useless.
The current him only wanted to know how to cultivate, how to become stronger, how to become a person with such power — this was a desire that was much stronger than any desire he had in the past. It was a desire that was thousands of times stronger than any desire he had in the past. Because no matter what he wanted to do, only the strong, only the survivors could do it.
The three light spots in the sky did not intend to chase after the huge dragon. They probably also felt that they could not catch up to it. One of them flew to the magma and did something. The mountain fire began to slowly extinguish and the magma also gradually cooled down.
The other two light spots circled around and directly flew towards Gao Chuan.
