With Austin's awakening, the external world's weather suddenly changed.
Under the heavy clouds, the sky over the volcano dimd, as if it was excluded from heaven and earth.
Wind and thunder gathered, and the earth surged with internal fire.
An invisible shockwave swept through the world, stirring a massive elental tide.
At this mont, whether it was the beastman officer defending near the volcano or the Dragon Nest Beastn Legion at the forest's edge, they all looked toward the area of that peak.
"His Highness has awakened!"
Accompanying that oppressive force akin to a forthcoming storm, a pressure hundreds or even thousands of tis stronger swept through like a tsunami, dark red magma burst open, splitting and scattering in the air, while above, a storm connecting heaven and earth descended with thunder and lightning ripping through the void.
Like a primordial giant beast, slowly rising from the magma lake amidst the dancing wind, thunder, and lightning, flas erupted.
High in the sky, Austin slowly spread his wings, imnse divine might unfolded.
At this mont, that enormous figure seed to beco the center of the world, absorbing all gazes between heaven and earth, overshadowing all brilliance above and below!
"It's finally successful!"
Though his dragon body was in slumber for half a year, Austin was well aware of how poor his physical condition was back then.
Fortunately, at his growth rate at the ti, he was about to enter a slumber, followed by an outburst of the essence of fire and Fla Law, severely injuring himself and triggering his body's protective chanism to enter hibernation early.
Upon waking from this slumber, not only did all previous injuries inside him vanish completely, but his level cultivation also improved significantly.
"Golden High Tier pinnacle, plus the Fla Law Origin, not bad."
Although this recklessness was very dangerous, the gains after the danger were undoubtedly imnse.
The level increase not only saved Austin years of honing, but also further advanced his own level.
Most importantly, now, by devouring the essence of fire left by the Fire Elental Lord, he mastered the Fla Law.
The power of the law is ultimately the most important.
After thoroughly releasing the long-dormant montum, Austin deftly descended from the sky, surrounded by the wind elent, landing on a solid volcanic rock.
However,
At the mont Austin applied a bit of force to steady himself, that enormously large and incredibly hard volcanic rock instantly shattered with a crack, splitting into pieces in no ti.
"This is..."
Only at this mont did Austin discover the changes in his own body.
The azure scales exuded a tallic luster, the previously sowhat rounded edges now sharp and distinct. The entire dragon body had grown to over eight or nine ters, the enormous body overshadowed everything, and its weight had increased several tis!
The feeling was like transforming from a wooden structure to an iron one.
Austin knocked his scales with his forepaw, faintly hearing a sound of tal clashing.
If before, his body scales were as hard as rock, now they were entirely transford into an iron-clad physique!
"Didn't expect such a benefit."
Reflecting on the cause and effects, Austin understood in his heart.
This should relate to the essence of fire and Fla Law Origin he devoured back then.
The external blazing lava and surging internal fire elent forged his body like ore, finally condensing it into the current steel-like physique.
"A pleasant surprise."
It's not just an improvent in defense and strength, even the total magic power increased drastically after his body was tempered.
The Thunder Forging Body technique previously stimulated his body, but as Austin's strength increased, its effect waned. Now perhaps magma could be used for further tempering.
Austin couldn't help but think.
"Golden High Tier pinnacle, powers of three law origins, coupled with the tempered strong body, once I sort things out, I might even be confident to battle a genuine, unrestricted Half-Legendary!"
Feeling the overwhelming power within him, a surge of confidence involuntarily rose from the depths of his heart.
Standing high, looking at the endless mountain ranges in the distance, Austin felt the shackles on his shoulders lighten even more.
Half-Legendary, already half a step into the Legendary Realm.
Such an existence is almost at the peak within the entire Kawa Great Forest.
If it were the previous Austin, although he could escape from any threat below Legendary, he would have to abandon the Clan Tribe that he arduously built and flee disgracefully.
But now, even against a genuine Half-Legendary, he wouldn't have the slightest fear.
Perhaps he could even escape from a Legendary.
Both safety and stability have greatly improved.
This adventure was worth it!
Just as Austin's thoughts drifted, the Dragon Nest Beastn were rapidly gathering below the volcano.
The disturbance caused by Austin's awakening had naturally alard the Dragon Nest Beastn.
As the undisputed master of the entire Dragon's Nest, the vast tribe's founder, such an event as the end of his hibernation was naturally to be visited in homage.
Seeing this, Austin directly flew down from the mountain peak.
How long he had been asleep, how much ti had passed, how the tribe was doing, he didn't know.
He needed to understand well.
...
With Austin's ergence, the previously tense atmosphere of the Dragon's Nest Tribe began to ease, and the news quickly spread across the entire Dragon's Nest Tribe, causing quite a stir of cheers.
The Dragon Nest Beastn, deeply reverent to Austin, were genuinely thrilled by his safety.
anwhile, the war status was also revoked.
Most of the beastman soldiers started returning to the Tribe Main City, dispersing to various defense zones, and began clearing the giant beasts and magic beasts rampaging during the cold winter.
In the cold winter season, there are always so ferocious hunters who failed to store enough food in the hot sumr, prowling around the forest terrain.
These starving hunters are extrely dangerous, and to prevent them from attacking the tribe settlents, the Dragon Nest Legion had to regularly patrol and clean up the periphery.
Now with Austin's hibernation over, the second stronghold doesn't require so many guards, thus a large force was redeployed to join the guarding and clearing of the Tribe Main City and the first stronghold.
Recalling when Austin was still weak, when the Dragon Nest Tribe was newly established, the entire Clan Tribe had rely a handful of mbers, during the cold winter they could only huddle in their nests to avoid danger, trembling with fear.
Yet, within just a few years, the elite beastman legion could not only venture out freely but also actively strike against those hunters posing potential threats to the tribe.
Transforming from shivering prey into rampant hunters.
The vicissitudes of life, as such.
During the half year when Austin slept, the Dragon Nest Tribe maintained a stable developnt.
Since the Dragon Nest Tribe adopted a contraction strategy, without large-scale expansion, but carefully managed internal affairs, there was nothing particularly noteworthy over the entire half year period.
Various pioneering farming, military training, recruiting wandering beastman population, etc. have beco conventional practices during the developnt of the Dragon Nest Tribe, with no need for Austin to worry.
Thus, following a simple report from Vini, Austin left the general affairs to them after ending his hibernation.
Today, the Dragon Nest Tribe has most of its affairs decided by a few senior elders voting, similar to so kind of council system, with representatives in civilian affairs, military, dical, manufacturing, and other departnts.
Major affairs, in the absence of Austin, are typically decided by these representatives' votes.
Unburdened by the tribe's complex managent affairs, Austin did not imdiately return to the Dragon Nest Tribe Main City.
While in slumber below the volcano, Austin felt,
An unease hidden deep within the magma's veins.
He needed to explore this place,
Why was there elental life here, what exactly was the source of everything?
Without clarifying certain things, Austin truly felt restless.
