The sky over Chaotic Soul Ridge was now completely occupied by that emerald divine dragon stretching thousands of miles.
Surrounded by those three Gigantamax clouds emitting an ominous dark red aura, every breath of Mega Rayquaza made the Chaotic Soul Ridge mountain range below let out an overwhelmed creak.
It wasn't an illusion, but because the size and energy density were so terrifying that space itself was spontaneously collapsing.
At this moment, the Snow Empress was the closest to this "Mega Rayquaza" besides Liu Yuan.
Thus, after seeing the scene before her eyes, her gaze was filled with shock.
She was the ruler of the Extreme North Land, a super Spirit Beast with a cultivation close to seven hundred thousand years.
In her understanding, a Spirit Master's "Martial Soul True Body" was merely the manifestation of the Spirit's Origin; although it could increase combat power, it ultimately had an upper limit.
But the scene before her completely shattered her common sense.
"What... exactly is this thing?"
The Snow Empress reached out her fair hand and caught a spark falling from the sky, carrying scorching Dragon-type energy.
She could clearly feel that the Mega Rayquaza after its Gigantamaxing was not just as simple as becoming larger...
The mysterious aura on its body, originating from the ancient Void Realm, had actually gained a massive increase in an explosive manner.
Around that thousand-meter-long dragon body, every inch of air was filled with dense, tiny spatial cracks.
This sense of pressure had already transcended the material realm, feeling more like an absolute suppression of rank.
To be honest, a thought even arose in the Snow Empress's mind that made even her feel it was absurd:
If she were to fight this Gigantamaxed divine dragon one-on-one now, assuming both sides went all out, could she really win?
The Snow Empress felt it was unlikely...
She turned her head, her gaze crossing through layers of storms to land on Liu Yuan on the other side.
This guy, who had become her "master" by a stroke of Opportunity, seemed to be getting more and more monstrous...
...
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away from Chaotic Soul Ridge, deep within the Evil Demon Forest—the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.
At the top of that bone tower, which was shrouded in dark clouds and vengeful Souls year-round, two figures who had been sitting as still as stone statues suddenly snapped their eyes open at the same time.
One of them had silver hair dancing wildly in the wind, her originally withered face looking somewhat hideous due to extreme shock; it was the Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Spirit Cult, a Limit Douluo—Death God Ye Xishui!
And sitting beside her was the one who had protected her all his life, also ranked as a Limit Douluo—the Darkness Dragon King, Long Xiaoyao.
"What... is that thing?" Ye Xishui's voice was hoarse, even carrying a hint of unmistakable trembling.
Long Xiaoyao slowly stood up, his back, which was always as steady as a mountain, now appearing somewhat stiff.
He gazed into the distance, where the originally gray skyline was forcibly torn apart by a streak of brilliant green and dark red.
"It's in the direction of the Border Branch." Long Xiaoyao's voice was frighteningly low.
"This aura... this fluctuation has already surpassed the limit of rank ninety-nine. It's a dragon's aura, yet it's so pure that even I, the 'Darkness Dragon King,' feel a tremor."
"How is that possible!" Ye Xishui shrieked. "There are only a few Spirit Douluos stationed at the branch. How could they draw out such a monster? Could it be Di Tian? But this aura doesn't seem like him?"
"No matter what it is, I think it's necessary for us to go and take a look." A look of determination flashed in Long Xiaoyao's eyes. "Xishui, let's go! What on earth is this thing..."
As his voice fell, two streaks of light representing the ceiling of the Douluo Continent's combat power instantly tore through the clouds, racing towards Chaotic Soul Ridge at a speed near teleportation.
...
On the other side,
Because the size of Mega Rayquaza was so massive, and the range of the celestial changes it triggered covered hundreds of miles, even in the Sun Moon Empire's capital, Bright Capital, the powerhouses standing in high places also noticed this unprecedented anomaly.
Inside the Sun Moon Empire's palace.
The Sun Moon Emperor was also full of shock after seeing this scene: "What is that thing? Quick, send a decree to Kong Deming and have him investigate!"
Although he didn't know what this thing was, since it appeared in his Sun Moon Empire, it was necessary for him to conduct a thorough investigation.
Thus, the Sun Moon Emperor immediately issued the order.
Within the Hall of Worship, Kong Deming, the strongest expert of the Sun Moon Empire, was also no longer calm after seeing this scene.
"This dragon seems to be the one that appeared in Bright Capital before? But its size has become much larger. Is it really the same one?"
"In any case, I must go and check immediately..."
Kong Deming did not dare to delay and immediately set off, heading in that direction.
...
Meanwhile, outside the Dean's office at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen also discovered this scene at this moment.
"Grandpa, look over there!" Meng Hongchen looked into the distance, pointing her slender finger. In her beautiful eyes, besides shock, there was actually a strange glimmer.
Xiao Hongchen was also stunned. Looking at the divine dragon circling in the Void Realm as if it were about to swallow the entire world, he felt a massive pressure and even a fear in his Soul.
"It's too big... it's really too big." Xiao Hongchen swallowed dryly.
"What kind of Spirit Beast is this exactly?"
"It seems to have become even more powerful than when it last appeared."
"On the Douluo Continent, who else can actually fight such a creature?"
They recalled the shock they felt when they first saw this creature.
But the shock it brought them then was far from being as great as it was now.
Jing Hongchen was also full of shock.
But besides shock, he was mostly confused.
If this dragon was the same one they had seen before, it would be too ridiculous.
A Spirit Beast's growth shouldn't be this fast.
However, a single sentence from Meng Hongchen plunged everyone present into a deathly silence.
"Wait..."
"Grandpa, Brother... I suddenly discovered something important..."
After hearing Meng Hongchen's words, Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen both turned their gazes toward her.
"What is it?"
Meng Hongchen directly spoke her discovery: "Do you feel..."
"That this dragon seems a bit similar to the appearance Brother Liu Yuan transforms into after using Martial Soul Possession?"
"Although Brother Liu Yuan is in a Dragon-man form after Martial Soul Possession... his surface is also black! And those streamers and eyes are very similar..."
"Although there are some subtle differences, I always feel it bears some resemblance to Brother Liu Yuan after his Martial Soul Possession. Do you think this dragon might have something to do with Brother Liu Yuan?"
