Xiao Ming's composure shattered the moment his eyes fell on the colossal dragon before him.
The creature's immense form stretched across several meters, its majestic antlers so vast that he had mistaken them for two enormous caves carved into the mountain's side.
"Hello, little one. Welcome to my Heavenly Dragon Flame World... Do you find it to your liking?"
A deep, resonant voice echoed through the space as the dragon's mighty jaws parted, its words carrying an ancient weight that seemed to ripple through the air.
WHOOSH!
In a blinding flash of light, the heavenly flame dragon transformed.
Its colossal body condensed, its dazzling white flames spiraling inward until they formed the figure of a handsome middle-aged man, his presence radiating a serene, almost divine warmth.
A gentle smile graced his lips, exuding an aura of calm wisdom.
His human-like appearance was deceptively ordinary, but his eyes held a depth that no mortal gaze could fathom.
