Taken aback, someone asked, “Is he dead?”
“No, he isn’t! He’s right there!”
Everyone raised their heads at the person’s response and looked up to see a massive fire shield that spanned as wide as 100 meters in the sky. White-hot flames blazed as nine fire dragons circled around it.
Their gigantic wings blotted out the sky as they roared furiously into the sky.
The next moment, while carrying a terrifying heat capable of burning everything to the ground, the gigantic fire shield plummeted from the sky. Barbarossa was only in time to dash a few steps out when it enveloped him.
“Contract!” Meng Lei commanded.
Buzz!
Upon command, the gigantic fire shield began to shrink and contract, turning from a huge 100-meters-wide fire shield into a small fire bell that didn’t even reach 10-meters-wide.
“Explode!” Meng Lei commanded again.
Boom!
The spell followed his commands, and the small fire bell exploded with a great boom. Amid earth-shattering explosions, a mushroom cloud rose into the air. At the same time, raging energy waves also exploded and instantly swept several miles outward.
Smoke and dust roiled and billowed as the ground shook and quivered.
The cliff broke, and rocks rolled and fell off.
“...”
Dead silence filled the Dragon God Cathedral—or rather, it was frighteningly quiet!
The dazed princes, princesses, officials, and nobles stared at the magic screen that had been entirely covered by the mushroom cloud. They felt their throats go dry and their brains short-circuit!
Only the Saint Domain experts were able to maintain clarity of mind, but even so, they couldn’t get any more astounded all the same.
“Does anyone recognize that fire-elemental spell?”
“No, I don’t!”
“Never seen it before!”
“Not at all!”
“But its might is definitely one of the first-class spells!”
“If no-one knows of it, then could it be an original first-class spell?”
“An... original first-class spell?”
Gasp!
Gasps filled the venue!
“Where’s Prince Barbarossa? How is he?”
As the others regained their senses one by one, their eyes also bore into the magic screen, wishing desperately to know Prince Barbarossa’s current condition.
At the same time, the contestants that had retreated a great distance away were also staring at the center of the battleground. Their necks were craned awfully long, and they didn’t blink even once.
Puff~
As the ocean breeze blew, the surrounding smoke and dust completely dispersed to reveal the bombarded battleground.
Gasp!
Everyone gasped once more.
What a massive pit!
Where the ground had been, a massive pit over 1,000-meters-wide was now in its place. The walls of the pit shone and gave off a multi-colored light—it was obviously the result of sand and rocks being burned into glass upon the explosion.
The glass reflected a dazzling array of colors under the sunlight.
“Just... How high must the heat have been just now?”
Everyone swallowed hard as their gazes fell hurriedly onto the bottom of the pit.
At the bottom of the pit was the form of someone in a half-kneel. A large half of his brilliant golden-yellow hair had been burned away, and his dazzling, eye-catching golden-yellow armor was also scorched pitch-black.
The key here, however, was that his handsome and suave, domineering and elegant face had also turned charcoal-black. His previous noble grandeur was no longer, and his elegance and dominance also nowhere in sight...
If one must describe him with a word, then it would be—pathetic!
Indeed, the current Prince Barbarossa was certainly in an extremely pathetic state. Not only was his hair burned, but even his eyebrows, handsome face, and armor... Every inch of him was burned!
Slathered all over in ash, he was the very picture of... An extra filming a war film!
“That’s Prince Barbarossa?”
Everyone clapped their hands over their mouths, somewhat unable to accept the sight.
Roar!
Even the audience was unable to tolerate it, let alone the person involved himself?
A loud, sonorous, and furious dragon roar rang out like an explosion. Then, a terrifying wave of dragon might suddenly erupted from the bottom of the pit.
In that instant, breathing difficulties came over all the contestants present, and they felt an intense, dull ache in their chests as if their hearts were clenched tightly in someone else’s hand.
Boom!
Boom!
Raging winds blew sand and earth everywhere!
Then, a gigantic golden shadow charged out of the pit and soared into the sky...
Roar!
Chapter 173: I’ve Beaten Up The Crown Prince? The Overlord of The Skies
Sharp, savage-looking dragon horns!
Dragon scales that dazzled gold!
Imposing, razor-sharp dragon claws!
Surging, churning dragon might!
Loud, clear, and sonorous dragon roars!
Every one of them was indicative of that enormous creature’s true identity!
Yes, that’s right!
The terrifying creature currently suspended high up in the sky and releasing dragon might at will was none other than the existence standing at the apex of the continent’s pyramid of lifeforms and the one known as the Overlord of The Skies—the king of all dragons, the Golden Colossal Dragon!
Roar!
The Golden Colossal Dragon roared into the sky. Its 100-meters-long body was incredibly massive. Its muscles were powerful and brimmed with great strength, while its claws were incomparably sharp...
It was powerful, handsome, a combination of dominance and beauty, and a coexistence of power and aesthetics!
“So, that’s the Golden Colossal Dragon?” Meng Lei muttered to himself, “It really looks very handsome. If I had a mount like that, I’d definitely look very cool riding it...”
“A mount?” Ol’ Amos snorted. “You sure dream big! If someone else had overheard you, you’d be a goner for sure!”
“That’s true. This is the Dragon God Empire, after all.” Meng Lei gave a patronizing response, and then he asked, “Ol’ President, that guy shouldn’t be as strong as you, right? Why is his dragon form so much bigger than yours?”
“What’s so astonishing about that? When an ordinary Colossal Dragon comes of age, their bodies can reach
