  The Dark Storm Dragon maed his existence upoh, as the Symbols were freed from their seals except for one, he was able to unleash almost 90% of all his true form and power, enough for him to easily ma on his gigantic, meical form. Having absorbed the energies of Fang Gu Lan and his shattered Soul, he was fueled with enough power to go past the limit of the seals aroy them.

  To make things worse, Fang Gu Lan wasn’t just a mere meal; his powers now dwelled within an even more dangerous mohe Dark Storm Dragon had no access to things such as Ki, Cultivation, and Teiques before, but now he had perhaps bee even worse of a threat than in his inal Universe!

  RUMBLE!

  The skies above turned bck, rumbling as thunder stantly fell, blowing away giant holes through the wastends. The very presence of the Dark Storm Dragoed a massive shift in the weather, raining down upon the world tless thunderbolts capable of destroying everything.

  As this happehe Golden Pagoda stayed firm even as dozens of thunderbolts started falling upon it stantly, its defenses fueled by Bing Xue herself and her Hundred-Layered Prote Formation around it.

  The Pagoda erhaps her magnus opus in terms of Formation and Artifacts created so far, and even this otherworldly dragon’s thunder wouldn’t be enough to destroy it…

  CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!

  Everyone down below could see the immetle above the skies as Bing Xue transformed into a massive half-human and half-snake demonic goddess, g against the massive, bck-colored three-headed metallic dragon.

  Her massive palms unleashed gigantic shockwaves of golden and bergies, which colpsed aed against one another, creating massive attacks with the resulting explosive force of such forces being forced together.

  The Dark Storm Dragon, taking direct hits from her, seemed barely unfazed; little scratches could be seen through his enormous surface, but far from enough to even make a proper dent through him.

  “GAHAHAHA! YOU’RE NOT WEAK, HUH?!”

  The Dark Storm Dragon ughed as the Cultivators down below noticed that Fang Gu Lan was gone, his scream being the st thing they heard before this giant bck metal dragon showed up out of nowhere.

  “What’s happening?!”

  “Where is Lord Fang Gu Lan at?!”

  “Dammit! Has Bing Xue already defeated him?!”

  “I heard his scream! He’s dead again!”

  “I ’t believe it, this damned kid lost to her twice?!”

  “B-But what is that dragon? What’s going on?!”

  “D-Did he have that within him? Or is that him? Has Fang Gu Lan taken upon a new form?”

  “I feel his Ki within the dragon! It is most likely him!”

  As they tinued speaking, Bing Xue’s family, who were proteg the Pagoda g the Cultivators suddenly stopped their assault.

  Their army was well ahe moment they stopped fighting, they quickly moved hundreds of meters away from them, gathering together in a group of over a hundred powerful Immortals and Primordials.

  Aowledging their strength and how it would be risky to get swarmed if they chased them and jumped in the middle of their group, they remaiill, only gng from afar and then at the skies, trying to make sense of the situatiht now.

  “Seriously, it’s just ohing after another…” Merh pined, piloting Ra on his Awakened Form, which was capable of overp Immortals once she fueled Ra with her Internal Ki bined with her Golden Bloodline Essence. “We ’t really catch a break here! Maybe this world’s even worse than my own.”

  “Uwaah, things are getting really intense!” Hekita said, piloting Anubis on his Awakened Form as well, which seemed rger, with mold across his bck metallic body. Simirly to Merh’s Ra, Anubis, once powered up with Hekita’s Ki and Spirit Energy, could surpass its previous limits, being capable of overp most Immortals, although Primordials were a whole different level, and for that they had to cooperate against a single one, most of the time getting assistance from their meical friends. “Isn’t that dragon like the robots yht, Merh? Maybe it’s somewhat reted?”

  “Reted?!” Merh asked. “T-There’s no way that huge monster could ever be reted to my world’s teology; it surpasses everything, and it’s no longer just a man-made mae; it is more like… a mae that was born alive. It’s weird, simir to that dude called Meicus I fought at the airport! But it also has magic within it? A weird magic I’ve never seen before. What about you, Hekita? You’re more familiar with supernatural stuff.”

  “Hmm…” Hekita squinted her eyes, sensing the endlessly dark powers ing from the massive dragon and feeling a slight headache. “Ouch…!”

  “Hekita?! Are you ok?” Merh asked.

  “I’m fine… I just… Ugh, I don’t know what that dragon is…” Hekita muttered. “But I know that its powers aren’t made of Mana, or Spirit Energy, it has Ki from the guy that Mama fought aed, but… The darkness, that darkness it has… it’s something pletely alien.”

  “R-Really?” Merh asked.

  “And it is born from… From Malice, pure Evilness. It is… as if that dragon is the representation of evil! I don’t know how else to expin it… Ah right! Remember the Spider that Mama fought?” Hekita asked.

  “The ohat took over the robots from my family? Yes! I do remember that thing…” Merh said, with a slight tone of rese against that goddess.

  “That dragon is a bit simir to her…” Said Hekita. “But… much deeper, darker… Its pht even inate from the stars! I don’t know… It’s fusing, and looking more into its Energy Signatures is going to give me more headaches…”

  “It’s alright,” nodded Merh. “It’s more than enough informatioa. We have to quickly send this to your adoptive mother so she learn about the thing she’s fighting… Uhe other foes, she doesn’t seem to have a plete advantage.”

  “That’s only because Mama’s way of fighting is special,” Hekita smiled. “She starts slow, analyzes her foe, adapts, and overes any challenge! She just likes takiime… Let’s trust her!”

  “Well, alright… But we always bring the cavalry with us as well! Right guys?” Merh said as she g the fia-like maes in front of her.

  The Divine Spirit Beast God Maes had been flying in front of them on standby; the Silver Moonlight Hare, the Bd White Wolves, and the Golden Phoenix were forces to be reed with when they biheir strength and fought together.

  When teaming up with Merh aa, the entire mae group was more than capable of dealing with a Primordial, and just sying oogether already made the rest more wary, not being as reckless of these “alien beings” as they called them.

  “Mama… They stopped fighting! Why?”

  Rainbow Eyes pined, his long silvery-white fire-like hair waving around, “burning” with a silver and blueish aura, his rainbow eyes shining the brightest. Just seds before, he and his mother had been fighting Immortals in droves and even frowo Primordials; one was sin, the other escaped.

  “Looks like they’re scared of the big dragon in the sky!”

  Fiery Hair looked into the skies, crossing her big, muscur arms, as her powerful Bzing Transformation was deactivated, and she went back to her inal appearance.

  “Really? Oh! Mommy defeated the big bad already? Cool!”

  “Yes, wife is strong! But a hreat appeared. Dangerous. Stay away from the big dragon for now, Rainbow Eyes. Stay with your mama here; mama will protect son with life.”

  “You don’t o say it like that, mother; I am strong enough that I also protect you back! But it makes me mad they just escaped! ’t we just go beat them up a bit more?”

  “No… Scattered, they be taken care of, but together? Too dangerous. They are now desperate to live. Do not engage for now! A ered beast is almost as dangerous as a wounded one!”

  “I-I see… I uand, mother.”

  Little Rainbow Eyes was eager to fight and grow as a warrior, but he had to obey his big, strong mother if he wao survive in the wild world outside; even if they weren’t in the jungles where she was born, the w of the jungle did not ge.

  As the skies rumbled and darkened and the Cultivators began to wonder what they could do , many of them started to question their lord and what had happeo him.

  Some even began to escape, flying baurim through the Portal in the distance!

  “Hey, they’re esg!”

  “What? Already?!”

  Orion and Athena, who were still wearing their new armnced as many of their foes escaped through the Portal. It seemed that the Portal wasn’t a Timelie, but a Portal that directly led to Murim!

  However, as more time passed, the smaller the Portal became, rapidly decreasing in size until barely a person could fit through! They were hurrying up to escape. After seeing a couple of esteemed and very respected Primordial Cultivators decide this battle was not worth it anymore, several Immortals followed.

  “We should chase them down and kill them!” Orion said angrily. “They came here and attacked us!”

  “Wait, calm down, brother…” Athena said. “Perhaps it’s better if we let them go. It's clear they just want to survive and no longer io fight us.”

  “But…” Orio frustrated, gng at them esg. He was very temperamental, but his sister was there to calm him down. “Ugh…”

  RUMBLE!

  However, they wouldn’t escape from the crimson eyes of their “new lord." The Immortals and Primordials esg suddenly saw a massive draic cw desd from the skies.

  “WHERE DO YOU THINK YOING, MY PAWNS?!”

  “Wha…?!”

  “Wait, is that?!”

  “Ahhh! Run!”

  The Cultivators panicked as a titanic metallic cw of over fifty meters i desded. The Primordials in the viity didn’t even bother resisting; sensing the power of a venerable within the cws quickly made them instinctively escape.

  However, not everyone was lucky; the few immortals he portal weren’t so lucky; caught by the cws, their bodies exploded into pieces.

  CRAAASH!

  The cw didn’t just kill them though; as it pierced through spad time, the portal that they were trying to use to escape was instantly sealed forcefully, leaving nothing behind.

  “W-We’re trapped in this world!”

  “No! Wait! T-This ’t be!”

  “Dammit!”

  “That thing…! What is it even pnning to do with us?!”

  The Primordials and Immortals were quick to realize their current situation; without the Portal to go back to their home, they were pletely trapped here.

  “I’m getting out of here!”

  A green-haired old man screamed, wearing brown and green clothes with tree branch paintings and whose eyes shone as bright as golden stars. He immediately rushed to the ground.

  “It’s Elder Emerald Tree! He’s running away! Follow him!”

  The Immortals that beloo that man’s Sect quickly followed him, but the ma them with disgust and annoyance.

  “Don’t you dare follow me!”

  He quickly turned his arms into massive wooden cws, tearing the Immortals apart as he attacked them, rushing down into the ground after hearing their screams of agony.

  “Uuuaaaggh!”

  “E-Elder!”

  “Wait! D-Don’t abandon us!”

  The ruthless Primordial quickly dug underground, transf pletely into a mass of tree roots and managing to successfully escape while his disciples were bleeding and falling into pieces.

  “HMMM, AWAKEN, MY PAWNS! I HAVE DECIDED THIS WORLD IS TOO RIE TO DESTROY, INSTEAD. WE SHALL TAKE IT AS OURS!”

  As the Dark Storm Dragon spoke, Bing Xue roared, swinging her swainst him as it grew to a massive size.

  “Who do you think you’re talking to?! Your oppo is me, Dark Storm Dragon!”

  SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

  A storm of sshes taining pure chaos, geed by her light and demonic darkness g against each other, engulfed the lower half of the Dark Storm Dragon.

  “HMM? THAT TICKLES!”

  However, the Dark Storm Dragon seemed barely affected; there were sshes over his metallic body, but evehat was about it.

  “HAVE PATIENCE, WILL YOU?!”

  He furiously swung his giant cws against Bing Xue, grabbing her head and then throwing her into the skies like a ragdoll.

  TRUUUM!

  “Ugh!”

  Her body pierced through several yers of clouds, the impact alone fracturing spad leaving ripples through the empty air.

  “NOW… AWAKEN!”

  The Dark Storm Dragon’s eyes shone brightly, his darkness seeping into his pawns; those he had killed quickly were revived, their flesh and bodies unifying back together, now covered on huge growths of bck crystals aallic scales.

  “Gruooogghh!”

  “Raaaargghh!”

  “Shyaaaarrgh!”

  They groaned like crazed zombies, flying towards the other Immortals and beginning to fight them, biting their arms or necks, iing them with this darkhat also turhem into abominations.

  “Nooo! Uuaaargh!”

  “D-Dammit! Get off me!”

  “Don’t bite me, you bastard- ARGH!”

  The Primordials who were managing to somehow survive all of this, gnced in utter disbelief at the chaos in front of them.

  “We have to escape! Leave the Immortals behind!”

  “I agree, we’re getting out of here; even outer space seems like a safer pce!”

  “Goodbye!”

  They rushed away as quickly as possible, but the Dark Draified Immortals followed them, ering them as they moved incredibly fast through the sky with their massive metalligs.

  “Shyaaaah! Don’t leave!”

  “It’s good to be like this! Gryaaah!”

  “I like it! Join usssss!”

  “W-Wha…?”

  “You have to be kidding me!”

  “H-How fast are they?!”

  As this happehe twins were suddenly surrounded by the same ied immortals, with new powers overflowing with the dark energies of the Dark Storm Dragon.

  “Youuuu! Why do you hold the power of the Symbolsssss?!”

  “Is thissss why our master is still weaker than beforeeee?!”

  “Give it back! Kill them! Shyaaaah!”

  “I told you we should’ve killed them earlier, sister!” Orion pined.

  “Ugh, I could have never guessed this would happen, you know?!” Athena sighed.

  RUMBLE!

  As the kids were surrounded from every angle, suddenly, a storm of emerald winds and thunder desded from the skies.

  A long golden spear spun around amidst the tornado of elemental, spiritual, and divine magic, sending the Dark Draified Immortals away.

  FLUOSH!

  And then a single, majestid divine wolf woman emerged, her fur divided into bd white, with golden horns and four beautiful, glowing eyes.

  “Mom?!”

  “It’s mom!”

  “Children, are you safe? We were taking care of the Immortals attag the other side of the Pagoda! What in the world is going on here? Also, what about those clothes? We hardly see your faces!”

  “Uuh, well, about that…”

  “Ah! Look out!”

  “Gryaaah! Kill them!”

  As their bined mothers tried to ask for answers, that would have to wait for ter, as the monsters quickly started moving again even after being cut down.
