Chapter 215 — THE EIGHT FALL
The sky above the ruined city churned like a wounded storm.
Erald light and black-gold void energy twisted through the clouds, colliding again and again in violent bursts that rattled every remaining building across the skyline. Wind howled through broken streets below, carrying the echoes of sirens, collapsing structures, and distant screams.
The Jade Dragon hovered above the chaos like a god of destruction.
Its massive wings beat slowly, deliberately, stirring the cloud layers as if they were nothing more than dust drifting across a battlefield.
Opposite it—
Long Hao floated in the sky.
The void energy around him had grown darker now. Denser.
Sothing inside it had changed.
The dragon noticed imdiately.
"You call the fragnt."
Its voice rolled across the sky like thunder breaking through stone.
Long Hao flexed his fingers slowly.
"Yeah."
The dragon’s erald eyes burned brighter.
"Too late."
Then it attacked.
The Jade Dragon surged forward with terrifying speed.
Its claw tore downward toward Long Hao.
The strike ca faster than any attack before it.
Long Hao raised both arms.
Void energy surged.
"Void Breaker!"
The two forces collided.
The shockwave blasted outward across the sky, sending broken clouds spiraling across the horizon.
But this ti—
The dragon did not stop.
Its claw pushed through the void energy.
The impact slamd into Long Hao’s guard.
The force drove him downward through the sky like a falling teor.
He smashed through the roof of a half-destroyed office tower.
Concrete exploded outward.
Glass shattered across three floors.
The Jade Dragon didn’t pause.
It followed.
The massive creature dove after him like a descending mountain.
Inside the collapsing tower—
Long Hao rolled across the cracked floor and pushed himself back up just as the dragon’s claw tore through the side of the building.
Entire walls collapsed.
Steel beams twisted.
The dragon’s head forced its way through the shattered structure.
"You weaken."
Long Hao wiped dust from his face.
"Still standing."
He shot forward.
His fist slamd into the dragon’s jaw.
"Eclipse Impact!"
The impact blasted the dragon’s head sideways.
Erald scales cracked.
But the creature retaliated instantly.
Its tail whipped through the ruined building.
The strike slamd into Long Hao’s ribs.
The impact launched him through three concrete walls and out the opposite side of the tower.
He tumbled through the air before catching himself again.
Below—
The Eight watched from scattered rooftops.
Han cursed under his breath.
"He’s getting hit more."
Nyx nodded slightly.
"The dragon’s adapting again."
Above them—
The Jade Dragon rose back into the sky.
Its erald aura expanded.
The broken tower beneath it collapsed completely.
Concrete dust rolled through the streets below.
Long Hao hovered again across from the creature.
His breathing had grown heavier now.
But his eyes remained focused.
The dragon spoke.
"You resist."
"But the outco remains unchanged."
Long Hao rolled his shoulder slowly.
"Yeah."
"I’m noticing a pattern."
The dragon’s wings spread wider.
Erald light surged across the clouds.
"This world will break."
And then—
The dragon moved.
Not toward Long Hao.
Toward the city.
Its enormous body surged across the skyline like a moving mountain.
Long Hao’s eyes widened.
"Hey!"
He shot forward after it.
But the Jade Dragon was faster.
It dove toward a residential district already weakened by earlier shockwaves.
Hundreds of apartnt towers still stood there.
Thousands of civilians trapped inside evacuation corridors.
The dragon raised its claw.
Long Hao lunged forward.
But he was too far away.
The claw descended.
The apartnt block collapsed instantly.
Concrete floors pancaked downward.
Dust erupted across the district.
The dragon turned its head slightly.
Another building.
Another strike.
Another collapse.
The creature wasn’t attacking Long Hao anymore.
It was destroying everything else.
Below them, Han roared.
"Oh hell no."
The Eight launched into the sky again.
Phoenix flas erupted.
Water surged upward.
Solar light flared.
Nyx vanished through a dinsional tear.
The Eight attacked together.
Feng Yanrui’s phoenix avatar slamd into the dragon’s side.
"Phoenix Sovereign Descent!"
Crimson fire exploded across the erald scales.
Ibarra followed imdiately.
"Leviathan Spear!"
The water drill slamd into the dragon’s chest wound.
Rao’s solar beam struck its wing.
Nyx carved a dinsional slash across its neck.
Han charged last.
"Titan Breaker!"
His fist crashed into the dragon’s forearm.
For a mont—
The Jade Dragon was surrounded by attacks from every direction.
Erald scales cracked.
Fragnts fell toward the streets below.
But then the dragon roared.
Its aura exploded outward.
The shockwave blasted the Eight backward.
Han crashed into a rooftop.
Feng spiraled through the air before stabilizing himself.
Nyx vanished to avoid the blast.
The dragon hovered again.
Its erald eyes burned with cold certainty.
"You persist."
Han pushed himself up from the rooftop rubble.
"Yeah."
He cracked his knuckles.
"Soone has to."
The Jade Dragon spread its wings again.
Its aura surged across the skyline.
The pressure alone shattered the windows of nearby buildings.
"You cannot stop the collapse."
Another district crumbled in the distance as the dragon’s energy storm rolled across the city.
Below them—
Fires spread through broken streets.
Ergency sirens scread louder.
The Eight regrouped again.
But the damage was obvious now.
Han’s breathing had grown rough.
Feng’s phoenix flas flickered weakly.
Ibarra’s water currents moved slower.
Even Rao’s solar light had dimd.
They had been fighting too long.
And the dragon was still growing stronger.
Above them, Long Hao watched the city burning.
His fists clenched.
The Jade Dragon’s voice echoed again.
"You see."
"Your resistance changes nothing."
Long Hao didn’t answer.
Instead—
He looked down at the city.
At the collapsing buildings.
At the fires spreading through the streets.
At the helicopters struggling to evacuate the wounded.
And sothing inside him shifted.
The void energy around his body deepened.
Darkened.
Like the beginning of an eclipse.
Inside his mind—
A voice spoke softly.
"...You’re angry."
Long Hao whispered.
"Yeah."
The voice answered.
"...Good."
The Jade Dragon tilted its head slightly.
Because the energy around Long Hao had changed again.
Sothing deeper was waking.
Sothing older.
But before Long Hao could move—
The dragon attacked again.
This ti with brutal speed.
Its claw slamd downward.
Long Hao blocked.
But the impact drove him backward again.
The Jade Dragon followed with another strike.
And another.
The sky erupted with violent clashes as the battle intensified again.
Below—
The Eight struggled to stand.
And for the first ti since the battle began—
They realized sothing terrifying.
They were reaching their limit.
And the dragon...
Wasn’t.
