Chapter 193: Descent!

"Your Majesty, you..."

But just then, his gaze suddenly narrowed, for he had finally seen the true dragon exposed in the distance after the thick fog dispersed, as well as His Majesty and the Empress not far in front of the true dragon.

At this moment, his eyes bulged wide with fury, and the dragon mecha he piloted suddenly spewed out endless billowing heat as it once again plunged into the magma, but this time he paid no heed to the searing high temperature corroding him.

Because—

That true dragon was gathering its power!

The target—

Was precisely His Majesty and the Empress he revered!!!

"Ah—!!!"

In his rage, he roared out loud, madly piloting the dragon mecha as it charged forward through the magma.

In an instant, the massive body of the dragon mecha ran wildly through the magma, stirring up wave after wave of violent surges across the entire sea of magma fire.

Faster!

Faster!!

Even faster!!!

At this moment, in Wang Weiqin's eyes there was nothing left but that terrifying pillar of searing fire rushing toward His Majesty and the Empress.

He anxiously squeezed every last bit of power from the dragon mecha, only to arrive a moment sooner—the next instant—

Boom!!!

Roar!!!!

Several violent sonic booms and thunderous rumbles sounded out.

In a flash, just as Zhou Qingqing was about to once again forcibly prop up the Protective Shield, she saw it!

She saw a massive humanoid machine lunge forward and just barely block that searing breath with its broad right hand.

For a moment, peculiar wafts of meaty fragrance mingled with the stench of charred flesh spread out.

In an instant, the seemingly indestructible right hand of the dragon mecha was scorched pitch-black beneath the ancient dragon's breath.

Hoo~ hoo~

Fi-finally made it in time.

At this moment, even though more than half his body had sunk into the magma, constantly corroded by the searing high temperature, and his palm had nearly lost all sensation, Wang Weiqin paid it no heed. Seeing His Majesty and the Empress safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only now did he have the time to look toward the true dragon not far away.

He stood up and took flight once more, while his intact left hand reached behind him again for one of the massive dragon spears he carried.

Accompanied by a crisp "click," the second dragon spear on his back was finally drawn.

But his unhurried movements would not be missed by the First Dragon, who had been deeply taught by Baichuan.

Having been born not long ago, its mind held no notion that combat should be open and honorable, that striking while the opportunity arose was wrong.

For it, as long as it was effective, anything could be used.

After its breath had been blocked by that monster twice its size, its emotions didn't waver in the slightest. Since another fool had come seeking death, it would oblige him.

With this thought, its entire body quietly began gathering power once more, and at this moment the true power of the ancient dragon was unleashed by it to the fullest.

In the next instant, amid a piercing sonic boom, the thirty-meter-long body of the Fire of Ancient Dragon instantly left behind an afterimage, and then slammed a vicious claw into the dragon mecha's chest.

In an instant, the dragon mecha, which had only just drawn its dragon spear, was sent flying and crashed into the distance, a visible dent caved into its chest.

Then, true to its style of pressing the advantage while the enemy was wounded, the First Dragon once again gathered astonishing heat.

In a moment, a great number of Light Points slowly emerged once more, and under the pull of some force, began to rotate slowly.

Clearly, the First Dragon was preparing to unleash another terrifying Burst of flame.

"Crack~~"

But just then, at a certain edge of the entire Yanjang Zhidi.

A crisp, piercing sound suddenly rang out in the air. Though faint, the sound carried a strange allure, as if space itself were shattering.

In an instant, it made the First Dragon, which had still been gathering power, stop its action and snap its head around to look.

At this moment, its eyes were filled with shock and fury.

Because the Light Points that filled the surroundings and its vast perception system clearly told it what had made that sound!

A peculiar spatial tunnel!

It was the sound inadvertently produced when some mysterious existence from the other side of the tunnel passed through to this side.

At this moment, the First Dragon no longer had any interest in dealing with these weak beings before it, even though one among these humans possessed a very strange power, perhaps from another world.

But all of that could never compare to the uninvited guest who had truly crossed over from the other side of the tunnel!

The important mission the Father God had entrusted to it—it had finally truly encountered it.

In that instant, the First Dragon's heart instead calmed down, no longer angry as before, and its entire dragon body became more active than ever.

That meant it had truly and fully prepared for battle, and the power it would bring forth would be an all-out, overloaded effort.

Whoosh—!

With a fierce gust of wind, the massive ancient dragon that had been before Zhou Qingqing and the others vanished from sight.

It transformed into an illusory crimson shadow, carrying astonishing flames, and charged toward the black-robed existence who had already half-emerged onto this side.

"Existence from another world, crawl back to your own world! You are not welcome here!"

Along with the ancient dragon's departure, an angry dragon roar exploded forth. Unlike before, this roar was not purely for attack—it carried a message.

This was the first Time the First Dragon had ever roared out in fury.

And at this moment, Wang Weiqin had only just barely piloted the dragon mecha back again.

Watching the true dragon depart, Wang Weiqin was somewhat dumbfounded. He stared blankly as Zhou Qingqing, having come back to her senses, began treating Zhang Rang.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

And it was also at this moment that the Ancient Dragon Human forces, which had been staying high in the air all along, finally descended again and flew over.

This was not because they were afraid and had deliberately chosen this safe moment to return; rather, everything had happened too suddenly and too briefly.

Of the Ancient Dragon Human forces that had been nearby, apart from the one Dragon Machine that Wang Weiqin was piloting, the rest were all lying in the lava.

Only those who had been farther away escaped that earlier attack, but precisely because they were too far away, they had not returned in time now.

At this moment, with Zhou Qingqing's continuous healing, Zhang Rang finally slowly woke up.

He looked somewhat dazedly at the Ancient Dragon Human forces gathered around him, unable for a moment to recall what had happened.

After a long while, he suddenly jolted awake and cried out, "Where's the True Dragon? Weren't we fighting the True Dragon? Did we succeed?"

Yet the only response he got was silence, and at this moment a terrifying explosion suddenly rang out from afar.

He was shocked to discover that the True Dragon was actually fighting some unknown existence.

But because it was too far away, he could not make out the situation over there at all.

"What's going on?"

In his confusion, he glanced at the others, then asked Zhou Qingqing, who was holding him in her arms.

Obviously, if anyone would know the situation most clearly, it had to be Zhou Qingqing, the strongest among them.
