Chapter 1286: Chapter 204: Thousand-Star Dragon, Origin and End of All Things
"How intense was their battleâ"
Even having mentally prepared in advance, Sio was still shocked by the scene. She turned her head, staring directly at the pitch-black vacuum that abruptly appeared after the sun extinguished, and even the True Dragon couldnât help but murmur, "This is bad."
"The tower... itâs going to collapse!"
Just as Sio said.
Due to the violent shockwaves, the entire Subspace Labyrinth was shaking intensely, and the twelve towers surrounding the Dragon Bone Plaza were inevitably affected.
Even though the towers themselves were incredibly sturdy and wouldnât topple, collapsing and toppling were differentâalong with the Subspace ground itself cracking and tilting, the once straight towers began to shift from their original positions.
WhooshâBoom!
Amidst the violent gusts and seismic shocks, four of the twelve towers surrounding the Dragon Bones collapsed successively. Adding the one that was shut down first by the City of Knowledge Exploration Team, five sealing towers were wholly inoperative.
And the âCrimson Towerâ beside Sio and the others was one of those that had collapsed.
The piercing wind howled, and the kilometer-high mega-structure toppled with no obstacle, reminiscent of a giant slashing down with a thousand-meter-long sword.
Seeing this scene, even the most thick-skinned Sio felt a chill run down her spine and turned to run.
But before running, she didnât forget to use Spirit Energy to grab and take away the Crystal Cabinet safeguarded behind her.
Due to the malfunction of the five sealing towers, the previously immobile Dragon Crystal became movable... yet the seal wasnât entirely broken. What appeared to be a light Crystal Cabinet felt to Sio like dragging a mountain!
(Damn... If I had my true form... I could use the power of the dragon to take it away!)
With the roaring of the collapsing tower, Sio also became nervousâher prosthetic body was only at the First Energy Level, and although she had Dragon Blood to withstand the Spirit Energyâs consumption, there was no way to escape unscathed from the impact of the towerâs downfall!
Losing the body and being unable to withstand âReactive Forceâ, the interference of Spirit Energy on the world would drastically decrease. Even Dragon Soul needs the prosthetic body as a âcontainerâ for Spirit Energyâthis is the worldâs iron law.
"Move! Crystal Cabinet! Why wonât you move!"
Gritting her teeth to exert all her strength, even using her physical power to push like a cart, but the speed of the Crystal Cabinet could not escape burial before the tower collapsed.
Sio originally gritted her teeth, deciding to persevere to the end, even if this prosthetic body would be smashed into pulp.
But at this moment, a hand reached out and placed on Sioâs shoulder.
"Let me help too," Yisenâs voice sounded, followed by an inexplicable scorching and exhilarating feeling coming from the shoulder!
"Oh! Power, surging forth!"
At that moment, Sio suddenly felt her body and soul being activated, and the âDragon Bloodâ in her prosthetic body began to burn fiercely, fully activated, bursting with 120% power!
At the same moment, the Mercury Spring, which had been flying alongside, ready to help at any moment, saw a mass of Spirit Energy fire materializing abruptly ignite!
In just a moment, this blaze forcibly pulled the Crystal Cabinet away from the collapsing towerâs range.
Boom!
A massive wave of dust surged, countless debris flew like bullets, but they couldnât harm the Dragon Maiden who held up the Spirit Energy Shield.
"Thanks, Yisen."
Breathing a sigh of relief, and calming her suspended heart, Sio couldnât help but express interest in the golden-haired boyâs abilities: "Your ability is pretty impressiveânot only can it actively affect the body, but it can also activate Spirit Energy? Feels like Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon isnât that powerful, huh?"
"No... this isnât my ability."
But Yisen was somewhat lost, gazing intently at his hand, furrowing his brow, sensing the sudden surge of power within him intertwining all his Bloodline nerves: "I just wanted to use my blood to help activate your Origin Quality, Sio, but at that moment, I felt a violent resonance between the âbloodâ inside me and the âDragon Bloodâ inside you!"
"Huh, isnât that normal?" Compared to the serious-looking Yisen Gard, Sio didnât mind this, laughing and patting the boyâs shoulder: "Youâre also a dragon, which means the Dragon Blood in you resonates well with mine, causing an Origin Resonance effect!"
"No! In past research, the Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon was just an âAncient Sub-Dragonâ."
But Yisen Gard shook his head in denial: "Although it can even devour True Dragonâs Blood, it is fundamentally a parasitic creature... Everyone in our Ellen Family knows this, and it could even be said capturing a True Dragon and fully devouring its body to transform it into our familyâs Bloodline power is the ultimate goal of our Ellen Family."
"Hmm... That makes sense too. Mother encountered an Eclipsing Light Refining Dragon in the past. Iâve also inherited from her memory, and indeed thereâs no similar feeling like yours, Yisen."
Sio wasnât embarrassed by the Ellen Familyâs goals, as too many people in Terra aim for True Dragons, and empathy among True Dragons is very low.
She wasnât offended by this, instead feeling curious: "But I still feel the power inside you, Yisen, is genuine Dragon Blood... Earlier you clearly absorbed some of the power from the Source of Dragon Blood, didnât you?"
