Dragon Tamer

Chapter 564: Chapter 566: Thunder Ascension Against the Current
 

“Right, if we can’t kill him, sealing him will do!” Zhu Minglang was overjoyed, thinking that, if time permitted, he would give the beautiful cheeks of the Nuwa Dragon several big kisses.

Stepping over the “grave” of the Red Bare Mountain Giant, Zhu Minglang spit out a mouthful of phlegm before rushing toward the purple-black peak.

“Buzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!”

A dense swarm of Mosquito Dragons, several times larger than the batch that had killed Ye Yangjian First!

These Mosquito Dragons were clearly meant to ambush the Sudden Attack Team, but now they were all charging toward Zhu Minglang, perhaps eight or nine thousand of them!

If Zhu Minglang was not careful, even the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon would be gnawed to the point where not even bones remained. Unless absolutely necessary, Zhu Minglang did not want to face these Mosquito Dragons.

He sped up, but the Mosquito Dragons were also very cunning; they split into three groups and surrounded Zhu Minglang, intending to kill him at the top of the Peak of the Horned Mountain.

Zhu Minglang climbed to the highest point, with one group of Mosquito Dragons already in front of him. They formed a demonic net, entrapping Zhu Minglang. He could already hear the terrifying sound of their sharp teeth grinding.

“Nerrrrr!!!”

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon spread its wings, ready to fight to the death against these Mosquito Dragons.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon landed beside Zhu Minglang, its body’s feathers burning like azure flames.

The Sword Spirit Dragon clung tightly behind Zhu Minglang. It did not move on its own but stayed at a distance where Zhu Minglang could reach out and grab it at any moment.

Zhu Minglang looked up at the dark red sky dome.

“Let them come,” Zhu Minglang did not order his dragon pets to attack the Mosquito Dragons.

The Mosquito Dragons were very close now, eager to feast on the flesh of the Dragon King, to devour Zhu Minglang’s body…

Finally, the Mosquito Dragons charged in. They attacked from all directions, each with flight speeds astonishingly fast, far surpassing arrows off the bowstring, and possessing terrifying strength, such that they could punch straight through city walls built of ordinary stones!

“BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Suddenly, the sky dome burst into massive brightness, like a fire burning the heavens, wildly sweeping overhead. Two earth-shattering bolts of lightning streaked down, falling toward the Peak of the Horned Mountain along different trajectories, and finally meeting right where Zhu Minglang stood!

“Qing Zhuo!”

Zhu Minglang called out.

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon had also been waiting for this moment. Its wings opened abruptly, and its body burst into a brilliant green sacred radiance.

The earth-shattering lightning merged into a magnificent wing of thunder and lightning, as if a divine beast had arrived, its feathers transformed for ascension!

The wings of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon spread, the tips catching the sky-borne thunder. The enormous power and fire-like lightning struck the body of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon; its feathers turned to ash at a pace visible to the naked eye!!

“Yerrrr!!!”

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon collapsed to the ground, not a single feather of its radiant azure plumage remained, its dragon muscles were charred and rotten, and both its phoenix wings hung down as if broken.

“Nerrrr~~~~~~~~~~~”

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon roared, as if to tell Zhu Minglang that the power of this thunderwing god seed was even stronger than the tribulation fire of the seven calamities before. Even at its Peak, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon could hardly bear it.

This interweaving of heavenly thunder was tremendously terrifying; even if it hit the Sword Spirit Dragon or the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, they might not emerge unscathed.

As for those approaching Mosquito Dragons, when the lightning struck, they were not spared either; hundreds and thousands of Mosquito Dragons were turned to ash, frightening the rest so much that they scattered around, no longer daring to come half a step closer to Zhu Minglang and the various Dragon Beasts.

However, the Mosquito Dragons did not leave; they were afraid to approach the deadly thunder, yet they swarmed and hovered around the summit in groups.

Either struck dead by lightning.

Or gnawed to death by them.

The swarm of Mosquito Dragons was not a group of mindless moths; they had only approached slightly just now and had already been decimated by the thousands by the thunder wings…

“Yerr~~~”

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon slowly rose to its feet, its pair of azure vertical pupils staring at the sky dome. Although its feathers had been burnt by the lightning, its shining eyes did not extinguish.

It flapped its wings again, now devoid of any plumes, but this time, despite the injured wing bones, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon chose to take flight, enduring the pain.

It soared into the sky, and once again, the top of the dark red sky dome burst into a huge blaze, with lightning streaking down vehemently, striking the back of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon!

The Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon plummeted straight down, but in the moment before it hit the ground, it violently righted its body, forcefully spreading its half-broken wings, and swung them fiercely toward the ground!

Not plummeting, but the wing bones of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon were somewhat twisted, and the area along its back was even more severely mutilated, the flesh blurred and indistinct.

Staggering and swaying, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon once again flew toward the top of the sky dome. The heavens seemed aware that a creature was undergoing Crossing Tribulation and Ascending there; the frequency of the appearance of the thunderwing increased, as if punishing the audacious Azure Phoenix Dragon with relentless tribulation thunder!

“RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE~~~~~~~~~”

The long sky thundered, like waves of purple tide; it was as if they had heard a call from the heavens, gathering above the Peak of the Horned Mountain!

Ring after ring of purple heavenly ripples spread out, like intense ripples in the sky.

Suddenly, in the center of the ripples, a chain whip of thunder and lightning appeared, and in the shadows of the clouds, there seemed to be an irate Thunder God, furiously swinging this whip, scolding the mortals below, and mercilessly lashing it upon the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon in midair!

Ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth!!

In the ranks of gods and immortals of Heaven realm, there is no place for the likes of you, Ordinary Spirits!

The raging thunder tore through the heavens and earth, startling the birds and beasts in the mountains into flight.

It wasn’t just punishing the dragon undergoing tribulation, but also warning all creatures in the world: All spirits have their order, and the hierarchy is strict!

If you’re a minnow, don’t even dream of leaping through the gate to transform into a dragon; if you’re a Mortal Dragon, don’t even think about ascending to godhood!!

Teetering on the brink of collapse, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon still soared upwards amid the wanton lashes of thunder and lightning…

Its green vertical pupils remained fixed on the heights above, as if, in its eyes, this scarlet, irate sky was but a green cliff.

In the deepest fury of the sky dome, a pair of similar green vertical pupils looked down coldly, its owner tossing itself off the edge and looking down with scorn, with envy, and with barely concealed rage!!

Thorns had pierced its body, and its bones shattered to pieces; even after undergoing Reincarnation Transformation once, Little Azure Dragon still vividly remembered the pain, and it was precisely that ordeal that left it a Disabled Dragon, forever unable to advance to the final stage!

This was a heavenly punishment, a tribulation, and also a mental barrier in the heart of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

And how was this clawing, gnashing fury of the sky dome’s thunder any different from that sibling brother who had thrown it down from the cliff??

No matter how cruel, it had never submitted!

Since birth, throughout its growth, it had always been so!

…

“Whoosh~”

The Sword Spirit Dragon trembled slightly; it was clear that it was very worried about the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon.

The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon also stared intently at the high sky, watching that frail green shadow swaying in the midst of the thunder.

This Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was far more severe than its own meteor fire tribulation, and it did not know how long the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon could hold on.

Moreover, when Zhu Minglang had drawn his sword to block the strongest wave of meteors for it during its Ascending Tribulation, the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon would have to face this alone.

Zhu Minglang’s right hand hung down; he wanted to unsheathe his sword several times, but the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon kept sending him a psychic message.

This was its Dragon Disaster, and also its heart knot…

It had to rely on itself!

This was its obsession to completely break free from the fate of being a Disabled Dragon!

Zhu Minglang watched its silhouette, and in a flash, he recalled the scene of it being pierced by thorns at the bottom of the cliff.

At that time, Little Qingzhuo was like a little dog crushed under a carriage, its whimpers barely audible, its eyes filled with pain yet longing to continue living in this world.

Obsession, ah…

Everyone has their obsessions that are hard to let go of.

Watching the silhouette of the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon facing the thunder, Zhu Minglang understood all too well that Little Qingzhuo only hoped not to hurt everyone during its tribulation, especially since the Horsefly Dragon Army was still lurking nearby with covetous eyes.

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The world was filled with lightning, illuminating the distant chengbang’s battlefield as clear as day.

The thunder and lightning that suppressed all Dragon Beasts from flying high above Absolute Ridge Chengbang had fallen silent, because all the lightning in the sky was converging towards the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon’s location.

Isn’t the fury of the heavens also a form of envy? They grant the world and countless spirits space to exist, yet they do not allow them to transcend their level’s boundaries. Since birth, insects are insects, dragons are dragons, and gods are gods…

Transforming into dragons, facing tribulations, are shackles, one by one branded into the bloodline of each living being, with a bitter cost if one tries to break them, or else be reduced to ashes and smoke!

“The hovering Thunder Realm has disappeared!”

Zheng Yu looked up in the direction of the peak.

He remembered that Zhu Minglang had mentioned borrowing the thunder wings from the peak for his dragon’s tribulation.

Now, all the lashing lightning was drawn to that location. Through the hazy world, one could see an Azure Dragon defying the thunderous skies, the image striking awe into hearts!

“All Dragon Army, assemble and leap over Silver Ridge!!!!”

Spotting the opportunity, Emperor Wuhou immediately shouted his command.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Break through Silver Ridge!!”

“Break through Absolute Ridge Chengbang!!!”

The clarion call to assemble rang out from within the army, and the Dragon Shepherd Army, which had been suppressed on the ground in utter disarray, soared as if freed from a cage. One figure after another took wing and swiftly took over the skies above Absolute Ridge…

Lightning streaked high above, not a single bolt striking down. The Red Flame Dragon, Violet Azure Dragon, and Eternal Frost Dragon—each representing one of the three forces—soared over the mountain ridges, finally able to unleash their Dragon Flame against those Giant Ridge Generals hiding behind the State Wall!

“Flatten them!”

Li Yunzi stood sword in hand amidst the sky; behind her, the sky was obscured by dense Flying Dragons, each bearing an armed Flying General.

At her command, thousands of Flying Dragons swept down like a stunning storm towards Absolute Ridge Chengbang. The roar of dragons shook the mountains!

Beneath Li Yunzi’s feet, a hundred thousand elite troops rolled up the steep mountain pass.

A human tide formed ladders, the martially stronger ones running up walls, while those of average ability climbed over the Silver Ridge City Wall following the human ladder…
