The air crackled with energy as he stepped out of the Forbidden Chamber. His body, once burdened by the immense gravity, now felt weightless. The training had pushed him past his limits, refining not just his techniques but also his understanding of Qi. But Zhao Tian had made one thing clear—this was just the beginning.
"Your next trial will determine whether you are truly ready to step beyond the Zhao Clan," Zhao Tian said, his expression unreadable. "You will face the Trial of the Azure Dragon."
His eyes gleamed with interest. "Azure Dragon?"
Zhao Tian nodded. "It's an ancient trial left behind by the ancestors. Only those who conquer it gain the recognition of the dragon's will and unlock the path to true mastery."
Without hesitation, he followed Zhao Tian to the deepest part of the clan's mountains, where a massive stone gate stood, covered in intricate carvings of dragons soaring through the heavens. The moment he stepped forward, the runes ignited, and the gate rumbled open.
The Trial Begins
As soon as he entered, the world around him shifted. The sky turned an eerie shade of blue, and an ocean of clouds stretched endlessly in all directions. In the distance, a massive figure coiled through the heavens—a dragon, its scales shimmering like sapphire, its eyes filled with wisdom and power.
A deep, ancient voice echoed across the realm.
"Mortal, do you dare challenge the Azure Dragon?"
He smirked. "Let's see if you live up to the legend."
The dragon roared, and the entire realm trembled. Without warning, it lashed out, its claws cutting through the sky like blades. He barely had time to react before the attack reached him. He activated Phantom Step, dodging at the last moment, but the shockwave sent him flying backward.
The dragon's power was overwhelming. Every movement carried the force of a natural disaster. But he wasn't about to back down.
Battle Against the Azure Dragon
🔥 Infinite Phantom Blades—his sword slashed out, creating a storm of blades that struck at the dragon from every direction. But the dragon's scales were like divine armor, deflecting the attacks with ease.
🔥 Black Dragon's Wrath—he gathered energy into his fist and unleashed a blast aimed directly at the dragon's heart. The flames exploded against its chest, but when the smoke cleared, the dragon remained unharmed.
🔥 Heaven-Breaking Fist—he concentrated all his power into a single punch, cracking the very space around him as he launched himself toward the dragon.
The moment his attack connected, the world froze.
The dragon's eyes widened slightly before it let out a deep chuckle. "Impressive… but not enough."
Lightning surged around the Azure Dragon as it opened its mouth. A sphere of pure blue energy began forming—a divine dragon's breath attack. The pressure alone made the air tremble.
He clenched his fists. He had one final chance.
Azure Dragon's Awakening into Supreme Dragon God
In that instant, his Dragon Blood reacted.
A surge of golden energy erupted from within him, resonating with the Azure Dragon's power. The beast's eyes widened in shock as its body trembled violently. Ancient seals shattered, and a primal roar shook the heavens.
The Azure Dragon was no longer just an Azure Dragon—it had transformed into the Supreme Dragon God.
Its once-blue scales turned black and gold, pulsating with divine energy. Its size expanded, eclipsing the skies. The realm itself bowed before its might.
The Supreme Dragon God gazed down at him, its voice now carrying the weight of creation itself.
"You… possess the blood of the Ancient Dragon Gods?"
He felt his own Qi boiling, his dragon bloodline roaring in response. A strange connection formed between them, a bond beyond words. The Supreme Dragon God exhaled deeply.
"Very well. From this moment forth, you are recognized as one of us. Accept my blessing, warrior of dragons."
A golden rune burned into his chest, filling his entire being with newfound strength. The trial was no longer about conquering—it was about inheritance.
Supreme Dragon God's Legacy
🔥 Supreme Dragon Heart—His body now carried the essence of the Supreme Dragon God, exponentially increasing his endurance, Qi reserves, and regeneration.
🔥 Heavenly Dragon Step—By infusing his movements with the Supreme Dragon's speed, he could traverse vast distances in an instant, leaving afterimages behind.
🔥 Divine Dragon's Wrath—A technique that merged his own power with the Supreme Dragon God's essence, unleashing a devastating attack capable of obliterating entire worlds.
As the realm faded, he opened his eyes to find himself back in the mountains, Zhao Tian watching him closely.
"So?" Zhao Tian asked. "What did you gain?"
A slow grin formed on his lips. "I think I'm finally ready for what's next."
Zhao Tian smirked. "Good. Because the real world is far more dangerous than anything you've faced so far."
As the winds howled through the mountains, he clenched his fists. This was just the beginning.
