Sila and Dark Self attacked violently and swiftly. They could feel the combination of their qi and psychic power that was both bizarre and powerful. Even though the nurical value of their special points stayed the sa, its quality was sublimated and couldnt be compared to before.
While Goddess Resonance was the most mysterious dark art among the four dark arts of the Hells Gate Islands, Flaming Cloud Qi was the most bizarre.
Each Demon God had mastered Flaming Cloud Qi in a different way. That was the reason why there were no standards that could be used to predict how the successor would change after mastering the art, not to ntion how such an abrupt increase in power could easily cause the practitioner to beco drunk with their own power.
Thus, the Demons Gods over the generations have varied; so beca Gods, so turned out to be Demons, and so beca both a Demon and a God. Even though the power in each generation originated from the sa art, they were hardly similar. It was because of this that a teacher couldnt directly transmit Flaming Cloud Qi to their disciple.
Although there were four parts to learnFoundation, Cloud, Fla, and Nirvanajust mastering three of them already ant succeeding the art since the last part was about burning ones inner force for the sake of obtaining stronger, purer inner force. The Nirvana Part was a dark art that allowed the user to obtain unlimited power, coming with the risk of the user being burnt to death. Still, the so-called unlimited power was rely a fantasy invented by people. A humans body was ultimately a small vessel that couldnt contain all of the water in an ocean. Thinking that bottomless power can be acquired only leads to a hopeless death.
Profound practitioners usually built up their inner force after tempering their bodies so that they could handle the increase in power. It was natural that an increase in capacity ant getting stronger. However, the Fla Part was about purifying the users inner force by lting it down. With purified inner force, not only was its quality and effectiveness increased, but the user would also have an easier ti controlling it. Silas one lap of qi circulation right now could generate even more power than if he did ten laps before mastering the Fla Part.
Sila had never learned proper swordsmanship or studied in a sword dojo, so his use of the sword was mainly about a concept, similar to how he relied on Formless Martial Godit wasnt about following a certain set of movents. Therefore, his swordplay was acrobatic. Without any patterns, he moved like a cloud in the wind.
Aurora had a hard ti keeping up with Silas wild movents. She used all her orbs to create seven shields, each with seven layers of protection.
On the other hand, Sila only had the Crystal Divine Sword in his hand, yet his entire body was more lethal than any weapon. Each of his basic movents was replaced by Five-Attributed Cloud Qis single attribute. With the Fla Part, he could now freely use Five-Attributed Cloud Qi with much more ease. This made Aurora wary against Silas punches and kicks as well as his sword.
Silas movents in general had improved greatly. Not only could he roam free in the air, but he could also constantly support his body with qi. His body was as light as a feather. He could rotate to the left, leap to the right, all with only his instincts.
His speed was so fast that Auroras illusion-creating speed failed to keep up.
Sila brandished the sword using his right hand while materializing sword waves with his left fingers and precisely hitting Auroras seven orbs, sending them flying. Suddenly, Aurora felt like her body was tied to the orbs and was pulled toward them. It was at that mont that Sila drew his sword back and grasped it with both hands, black flas igniting on the blade.
Heavens Dismissal Seventh Sword Style, Unforeseen Dive.
The black flas transford into a massive amount of blade energy covering the Crystal Divine Sword, though its appearance looked thin and weak. Sila swung it downward at Aurora.
Despite its appearance, Aurora didnt dare to take it lightly. She unleashed more magic power to strengthen the illusory shield. All of the shields combined into one with forty-nine layers, exerting powerful defensive power.
Seven orbs, one truth! Dragon Shield of Authority!
Shatter! Shatter!! Shatter!!!
The sound of a shield layer breaking rang out over and over. Silas qi blade dived down and exerted even greater pressure. The blade beca increasingly bigger, fiercer, and faster with each layer it broke apart.
In just a single breath, the blade had broken through all of the layers and slice down Auroras body, splitting it open but not quite reaching the heart. If it werent for her sturdy dragon scales taking the brunt of the attack, her body would have been split in two.
Apparently, Silas seventh sword style wasnt an attack that one should block. It was a move that beca stronger by absorbing the opponents defense to work against them.
After delivering his strike, Sila swiftly stored his sword and pressed his fingers on Auroras wounds, sending his qi inside to stiffen her movents. His qi kept her alive, but it acted like several tiny blades flowing through her veins.
Dual Overwhelming Attributes tal splits Wood, Surging Strike.
Originally, Surging Strike was a move that sent his power through an object or an opponent and damaged them from within. This ti though, Sila adjusted the ratio of his power, adding more wood elent while reducing the tal elent. As a result, he had finer control over his power inside Auroras body. He could prolong her pain for as long as he wished, as her life now laid in his hands.
Aurora tried to explode her magic power from the inside, but Silawho had high mastery over his powercould suppress her action by damaging her acupoints. His Yizichan was especially effective at such a close range.
These were Silas strong suits: lee combat, yizichan, and arts that subdue his opponents. Aurora couldnt bring out her power, thus she was no longer his match.
While Sila relied on various techniques to subdue Auroras life in his palm, Dark Selfs thod was far simpler.
Dark Self slowly approached the Dragon of Darkness with utmost calm while dragging the Crystal Demonic Sword on the ground. Sila released Dark Self while the three pellets were still active, so the power from the pellets was split among the two, allowing them to show their full might with reduced risks.
Tiamat stared at Dark Self while emitting more of her magic power. She hatched twenty dragon eggs in one go. Each of the baby dragons appearances was strange and unfamiliar. Most of them were clearly rare dragons that both Sila and Dark Self had never encountered.
Chaos Creation. Tiamat released black mist from her scales to stimulate the growth of the baby dragons. The intensity of magic power emitting from each dragon wasnt at a level that could be overlooked, yet Dark Selfs steps were as casual as before. He didnt even attempt to take a battle stance.
You bastard... Tiamat felt like she was being looked down upon. Kill him!!
All of the dragons disappeared, including Tiamat. Dark Self speculated that this phenonon was achieved due to one of the mini dragons Dragon Domain. Tiamat was indeed a fearso opponent as she alone could exert several powers from different dragons. Still, it was such a pointless move against Dark Self, who had already co up with a counterasure.
Dual Overwhelming Attributes Fire lts tal, Crushing Sky.
The gravity suddenly intensified as cracking sounds, along with the sounds of objects heavily hitting against the ground, could be heard. Tiamat reappeared again next to Dark Self with her knees on the ground, surrounded by her nearly-dead mini dragons.
Their attacks are comndable, but their defense is weak. Your magic is like an illusion; a cheap trick that only works on second-rated beings, Dark Self scoffed with an apathetic tone.
Tiamat gritted her teeth as the club in her hand divided into three parts. However, before she could perform any kind of attack, Dark Self kicked her signature weapon with Instant Stomp, sending it flying into the sky. He then simply observed her as if waiting for her to make the next move.
Chaos Dragon Rebirth Strike! Tiamats body transford into a cloud of black smoke, flowing toward Dark Self like a wraith. This was her ultimate move that would turn the remainder of her health points and magic power into an illusory attack that couldnt be blocked or evaded.
An illusion again? In the end, its just an old drink in new packaging. If you have nothing more, just die. Dark Self lifted his hand and ramd her face.
Racial Skill Moon Reflecting Mirror.
Sli race skills were designed to slay dragons. If used right, no dragon would stand a chance.
Tiamats illusory body was hit and flew in the direction where Sila was subduing Aurora. Her black smoke form was canceled and she was returned to her human form.
Heavens Dismissal Fifth Sword Style, Nine Ghost Strikes.
Dark Self drew the Crystal Demonic Sword to cut the space, generating nine short explosions in the blink of an eye. The shockwave from the explosions disturbed both Aurora and Tiamats magic power.
Sila and Dark Self seized the mont with their profound connection that was greater than any bond. They inhaled at the exact sa ti, and exhaled in identical synchronization.
Triple Attributes Five-Attributed Cloud Qis Ultimate Move, Judgent of the Grim Reaper.
Silas right hand was dyed black from his fingers to his wrist. The sa could be said for Dark Self. They pulled the power of the fire elent to supplent the earth elent, then used the latter to further strengthen the tal elent. The earth elent was the one they had the greatest affinity with, while fire and tal were directly next to it. With three elents combined into one move, their right hands possessed unimaginable strength.
The move was simple, because only the simplest form of movent could exert the most power from the three attributes. Sila and Dark Selfs right hands penetrated the dragons chests and grasped their hearts like picking up oranges from a box. The two slowly beating hearts were revealed on their palms after they pulled back.
The two hearts were crushed at the sa ti without a millisecond of error. Finally, after a long fight, the two dragons slowly turned to dust, starting from the holes in their chests. anwhile, Sila and Dark Self had returned to one entity.
...You will regret your actions, Aurora muttered while Tiamat turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
The two bodies eventually disappeared. The nostalgic system announcent rang out in Silas head.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed the quest: Decolonize the Sli Kingdom. From now on, when a mber of the dragon race is killed by a mber of the sli race, their rank will be demoted by one.

The remains of the two dragons were two glowing balls that flew out prior to transforming into two dragon statues standing next to the entrance. They seed to symbolize the ones who protected this sacred place.
The book with empty pages, the Dragons Record, flew from the podium into Silas hand. Its cover changed from the illustration of a dragon to two identical slis, with appearances like steam buns. Their cheeks were touching each other. One of them showed a smile while the other looked angry.
The Slis Absolute Power materialized itself in front of Sila. It had the appearance of a small trophy cup that could easily be held with one hand.
Sila stored the Slis Absolute Power in his system window and opened the Slis Record. He then found that only the first three pages were recorded while the rest were empty. Each of the three pages contained pictures of slis using Formless Soldier, Orbiting Cosmos, and Moon Reflecting Mirror respectively.
The vision around Sila beca hazy as the light in the room gradually grew dimr. It seed the two dragons had cast so strong illusion spell on this place and it was losing its effect due to their demise. The room beca a vast room with nothing inside. It was quite dark as the only source of light was the one coming through the entrance. The light made him realize there were so letters engraved on one of the walls.
Sila lit a fire on his palm. It shone brightly like a second sun.
Thinking back to the previous fight, Sila couldnt help but beco excited by his success with the Fla Part. Only the Nirvana Part was left for him to learn. It was said to be the part that only the first generation Demon God could master, so the difficulty must be unfathomable. Still, if he mastered it, his strength would rival those supre experts. He would beco the youngest supre expert in history.
Sila brought himself to the wall, inspecting the letters and illustrations engraved on it. Mystified, these inscriptions seed to be done by soones powerful Yizichan. The content seed to be about the history of the dragon race and the Dragon Kingdom.
Sila wasnt interested and was about to exit. However, his eyes stumbled on pictures of slis. In the end, his curiosity won over and he stayed behind. He sent ssages to Burapha and Vata, telling them to withdraw first, and that he would follow soon.
...In ancient tis when there existed only one world, in order to make his ultimate wish into reality, the Creation God brought a group of selected humans into the realm of monsters. The Creation Gods objective was to choose a suitable person to hold onto the Gem of Hope. However, his ultimate wish had yet to be completed after thousands of years. Not a single human was worthy.
Sila guessed that Monster Souls history was based on an actual tiline of the ga. The illustration of humans being brought to the world full of monsters must represent the closed beta when the Creation Godwho Sila easily identified as Joshuainvited several powerhouses to test the ga. Honestly speaking, Joshua seed to play several roles in the ga. Other than that, Sila had no idea what Joshuas ultimate wish was, or what purpose the Gem of Hope served.
...So humans befriended monsters, and that completely changed the balance of the world. With humanitys imasurable potential, so monster races beca stronger while so went extinct. Nevertheless, the most promising humans were none other than a certain pair of twins. One of them chose to beco a sli while the other chose to beco a dragon. With their combined forces, the sli and dragon races beca the two strongest, unequaled races.
Sila tilted his head, wondering. Slis and dragons used to be comrades?
...The twins ca from the sa origin. The foundation of their powers was the Marvelous Bible, originating from the Far East. The starting point was the sa, but there were more potential endpoints than there were stars in the sky.
The Tiger God, Hu Xian, who later beca the Chaos Emperor Dragon, possessed unmatched talent and had never lost. He developed his family art into his Chaos Devourer Art, a dark art which consud his opponents inner force as nutrients and strengthened his own.
The Oceanic Tiger, Hu Hai, who reigned over all slis as their greatest Sli Emperor, possessed a broad-minded and charming personality. He developed the family art into his Encompassing Ocean Art, the supre art that helped him master his opponents profound arts as easily as raising his hand. He was the embodint of world-wide profound arts.
With the two peerless twin brothers joining forces, it was natural that they would rule over the world. No one ever dared to oppose them.
Reading up to this, Sila stopped to think. If the Sli Emperor in this story was the Sli King of today, that ant his na was Hu Hai. As for the Chaos Emperor Dragon, this was the first ti Sila had ever heard of his title or his na. Still, he didnt understand. He was sure that the top position of the dragon race belonged to Infernee, the Dragon Empress.
The illustrations and letters after the aforentioned parts were damaged and beca unreadable. Sila wasnt sure if they were deliberately damaged or if they had simply been affected by nearby battles. The last part was the only legible part left.
...The Chaos Emperor Dragon beca stronger with every day that passed. He and his dragon army marched to every corner of the world and waged the greatest war in history. Alas, he seed to be consud by his own power and his craziness showed no sign of stopping. Even the humans and dragons, his closest comrades, started to fear of him.
In the anti, the Sli Emperor rebelled against his older brother. He prepared an army to oppose the dragon army. However, his actions led to even greater doom. In order to stand a chance against the matchless Chaos Emperor Dragon, the Sli Emperor expanded his territory far and wide, stealing profound arts from various powerhouses. His actions eventually led to disdain from all races.
In the end, it beca a three-way war between the slis, the dragons, and all of the other races.
The story seed to jump ahead too much for Sila. He didnt understand why the dragon army was suddenly ford, or why the Sli Emperor had to wage war against dragons despite their long history as allies.
...Ultimately, the Sli Emperor ford a powerful seal that connected his soul to his brothers, intending to seal himself along with his brother. However, the Chaos Emperor Dragon possessed strength far greater than what anyone could imagine. In order to seal him alone, the entire Sli Kingdom was sealed together with him. When the seal is broken... Sila could only read up to this sentence. The remaining letters were destroyed.
...The Chaos Emperor Dragon shall return.
A familiar voice rang out from below. Sila shuddered as he couldnt sense at all that there was soone else nearby. He searched for the owner and found a missing stone plate in the middle of the room, revealing a staircase leading underground. He raised his hand to let the fire shine toward the lower floor, yet all he could see was a bottomless abyss.
The voice rang out again. Similar to the previous ti, the voice was so close as if the owner was right next to Sila. You could win against my Dragon Souls. Youre not half bad.
Your Majesty? Sila replied to the sound which belonged to the Sli King, though he was bewildered by the kings sudden appearance.
Your guess is close... but Im not Hu Hai. Try again, kid..
Sila had a hard ti swallowing his saliva. He shifted his gaze to the inscriptions.
Could you be... the Chaos Emperor Dragon... Hu Xian?
A silent breeze of wind was the only response to Silas question. He noticed it too late, but this place was too quiet and too peaceful. The mont the two dragons of light and darkness died, it wouldnt be weird if all of the other dragons had rushed to gather here. However, they hadnt done anything of the sort. It was as if, without the two dragons protection, none of the dragons would dare to step into this sanctum.
What is your na?
Sila, sir.
Sila? I have never heard of you. Do you belong to a dojo?
Hu Xian, the Chaos Emperor Dragon, was rather aloof and showed no sign of aggression. It contradicted the description of him written on the wall.
Im the Flaming Cloud Dojos main disciple, sir.
Hm? Flaming Cloud Dojos main disciple? Isnt that Mora?
Teacher Mora is my master, sir. Sila was surprised to know that Hu Xian knew his teacher.
Hu Xian fell into a short silence. Is that so? Has it been that long? Excuse ... kid. Can you help deliver a ssage to Hu Hai... um, I an your Sli Emperor? You dont have to understand it, but you must pass every word Im about to say without missing half a character to him. If you want a reward, just ask for it from Hu Hai. Tell him I want to give you my old item.
The reward is unnecessary, sir. Its just... Silas words were interrupted by Hu Xian. He didnt seem to care about what Sila wanted to say.
Joshua broke a promise he made with . Soone is practicing my Grand Deitys Breathing. I can sense it. Even though it seed peerless, that wasnt a profound art designed for combat. Stop that person before they reach the last stage, otherwise, the consequences will be irreversible.
Sila morized the ssage in its entirety. Even though he didnt quite understand, he intended to complete the task entrusted to him and pass the ssage to the Sli King without forgetting a single letter.
Tell that to Hu Hai, and he will take care of the rest. You may leave, Hu Xian's words implied he was driving Sila away.
Although Sila still had so questions he wanted to ask, he decided to leave. He activated his black card and teleported himself to his mansion before exiting and returning to Belacia City. It was upon his return to the city that he heard so unbelievable news.
