It was the main force of the Frogman Tribe, kicking up so much mud that the entire river was dyed a murky yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eastern forest, shadows flickered among the trees, revealing the vague silhouettes of massive Swamp Giants moving through the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target of these Demon forces was the very same high ground where the Black Stone Army had previously stopped to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came from all directions like sharks that had smelled blood, attempting to encircle and tear the human army that dared venture deep into the swamp to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun turned his enormous head, the scene below reflected in his golden eyes. His voice boomed like a great bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These guys are swarming like ants from a kicked nest. Will Ed and his men be alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo’s tone was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course he wasn’t worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this expedition, the Black Stone Territory had deployed every warhorse captured in previous wars. Now, every Black Stone Knight, even those specializing in combat, was mounted on a fine steed for travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobility was the soul of the Black Stone Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These disparate Demon tribes, fighting on their own, had no hope of catching the main Black Stone force at a full retreat before they could unite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Ed had to do was crush any small enemy groups that got in their way along the retreat route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the elite quality of the Black Stone Knights, this was not a difficult task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo could even picture Ed’s expression at that moment: probably cursing and complaining about the swamp mud while mercilessly commanding the Earth Dragons and Mammoths to overwhelm the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying was tedious, especially over the unchanging landscape of the swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flowed by with the whistling of the wind. Two hours later, a change finally appeared on the horizon ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a stretch of high ground, like an isolated island in the vast swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of this \"island\" stood a grand and rugged structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Temple was built entirely of massive black stones in a rough, primitive style. Its walls were carved with countless twisting, coiling serpentine reliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine spires soared into the clouds. Their tops were not pointed, but were instead nine hideous, sculpted serpent heads, their open maws seeming to let out silent roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Demon Serpent Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo’s eyes were like a hawk’s as he surveyed the high ground from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his Pegasus Knights had scouted, the main force of the Demon Serpent Legion guarding the Temple had been lured away. All that remained were a hundred or so Tiers Two and Three Snake-man Warriors patrolling the Temple’s perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin,\" Raylo ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasted no more words, because Sun, beneath him, had already responded with action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon’s roar that shook the heavens and the earth exploded forth as the Golden Dragon no longer concealed his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His massive, hundred-meter-long body unfurled in the sky. Every scale was like molten gold, burning with a dazzling radiance in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He plummeted like a falling sun, diving with an unstoppable aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snake-man guards in the Temple looked up in terror. The pale golden dragon pupils expanded rapidly in their vision, and a primal fear rooted deep in their bloodlines made their bodies go stiff, unable to even hold their weapons steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun paid no mind to these small fry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His enormous Dragon Tail, whistling as it tore through the air, lashed out like a gigantic battle hammer from the gods, viciously striking the dome of the Temple’s main hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black stone dome shattered like an eggshell, disintegrating in a thunderous crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless shards of rock and clouds of dust shot skyward. In an instant, a gaping skylight had been torn into the magnificent Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Griffin Knights roared in unison, guiding their mounts in a dive. The light of their Fighting Spirit coalesced on their long spears, piercing the Snake-man guards who rushed out from the Temple ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six Sky Dragons swooped down, using their claws or their massive jaws to claim the lives of the Snake-man guards one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield instantly devolved into a chaotic meat grinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At almost the same moment, a sinister, cold, and powerful aura erupted from the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who... dares to desecrate my master’s Divine Hall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a shrill voice cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dust settled, and a figure slowly rose from the ruins of the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Demon Serpent Priest. His lower body was a thick serpent’s tail, while his upper body was humanoid, though his skin was covered in fine, black scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held a Magic Staff made from a giant spinal column, its head inlaid with a ghastly green skull whose empty eye sockets burned with Soul Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Domain Level Powerhouse guarding this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun let out a booming roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a moment’s pause, his massive body crashed directly into the Temple’s remaining structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towers toppled and walls crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Dragon, in the most savage and direct way possible, reduced the Temple that had stood for centuries to a pile of rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was clear: destroy the Temple and clear out a large enough battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames of fury ignited in the Demon Serpent Priest’s serpentine eyes. He raised his Bone Staff, unleashing the power of his Domain without reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skeleton Domain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VMMMM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of grayish-white energy spread out from him. Wherever it passed, the world lost all its color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky turned a deathly gray, and the ground transformed into withered bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth cracked open, and one by one, enormous beasts made of bleached white bone crawled out from underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were the skeletons of Swamp Giant Crocodiles tens of meters long, the dried bones of Giants swinging bony claws, and the skeletal remains of Giant Lizards twisting their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eye sockets burned with the same ghastly green Soul Fire as the one on the Priest’s Bone Staff, and they radiated an aura of frenzy and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire battlefield had transformed into a Purgatory of bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun let out a disdainful dragon roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had yet to create his own Domain, his Tier Five Domain Level power and the formidable physique of a Golden Dragon made him fearless in any Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged a rushing crocodile skeleton head-on, not dodging or evading, and slammed directly into it with his Dragon Horns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Golden Dragon, the hard skeleton of the giant beast was as brittle as rotten wood. It was instantly smashed to pieces, sending Bone Shards flying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun rampaged through the Skeleton Domain, using his claws, Dragon Tail, and Dragon Horns to easily dismantle the Skeleton Giant Beasts one by one, like a golden god of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Skeleton Giant Beasts were endless, regenerating as fast as they were destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lightning raid’s success hinges on a swift and decisive battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo didn’t delay for a second. He took out an ancient-looking Horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul Horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought the Horn to his lips, infused it with Fighting Spirit, and blew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sound came out, but an invisible ripple of soul energy transcended the barrier of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the Demon Serpent Priest’s Skeleton Domain began to tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ray of blue starlight appeared, and a Knight clad in star-blue full plate armor and wielding a Sapphire Giant Sword emerged silently from the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Starfall Knight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he appeared, a tyrannical Domain Power unfurled along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meteor Domain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep, starry sky replaced the deathly gray canopy. Burning meteorites, trailing long tails of flame like an inverted river of stars, filled the entire sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chilling, oppressive feeling of the Skeleton Domain was instantly swept away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Meteor Domain and the Skeleton Domain collided violently, and space itself groaned as if under an unbearable weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless meteorites rained down from the sky, precisely smashing into the Skeleton Giant Beasts that had just crawled out of the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fall of every meteorite was accompanied by the complete annihilation of a Skeleton Giant Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure on him suddenly gone, Sun let out a gratified roar. He could finally focus all his attention on the Demon Serpent Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Dragon Flame brewed in his throat, scorching the air and causing it to twist and distort. Finally, it erupted as a devastating torrent of gold, spewing forth toward the Demon Serpent Priest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The searing Dragon Breath covered a space of dozens of meters around the Priest, turning everything to Scorched Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Serpent Priest’s expression changed drastically. With a shriek, all the remaining skeletons instantly converged on him, forming an incredibly thick, spike-covered, giant bone shield in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, Raylo saw his chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spurred the Storm Griffin King, Baofeng, into a dive like a bolt of lightning, leaving a brownish-yellow afterimage in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instant he brushed past the bone shield, he drew the Divine Weapon, Broken Flow, from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the blade left its sheath, a faint, almost invisible ripple flashed through the air and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the indestructible bone shield silently split down the middle, the smooth cut surfaces like a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the shield, the Demon Serpent Priest’s serpentine eyes filled with incredulous horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no time to react at all before the devastating Dragon Breath completely engulfed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HIIISSSSAARGH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-curdling shriek pierced the clouds, only to be completely suppressed by the roar of the Dragon Breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun’s Dragon Breath lasted for a full minute until the shriek finally faded away completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden torrent finally ceased, leaving behind a huge, vitrified crater in the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the crater, a charred black figure remained standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His flesh and blood had been completely carbonized, but his serpentine eyes still gleamed with a crazed, venomous, scarlet light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, he had used some powerful, life-saving last resort and paid a terrible price to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wouldn’t get another chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo’s figure appeared before him again, and he swung Broken Flow a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same invisible ripple, which drifted lightly across the Demon Serpent Priest’s charred neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PFFT.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large, scorched serpent head flew into the air, tumbled a few times, and fell heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun folded his wings and landed with a thunderous crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his massive dragon claw and, without any ceremony, stomped down, crushing the head into a paste of brain matter and Bone Shards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo leaped down from Baofeng’s back. Moonlight and Coal Ball landed lightly on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode over the rubble and skeletons littering the ground and walked into what was left of the main hall—a single, lonely, broken wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the high platform, enshrined for all to see, was the goal of their expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>",1899,"2026-05-30T16:08:59.263Z","2026-06-01T04:31:39.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","414506b9987b6a1d09f3d201bc2375515013524dcea2f76cc9eb1b0bd4407676","giant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-chapter-129","giant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-chapter-128",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgiant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-cover.jpg"]
