Chapter 1233: Late Ancient Dragon Rank!
Chapter 1233: Late Ancient Dragon Rank!
Cain cared little for the state of the collapsing blue lotuses.
His focus was solely on the arcane symbols that adorned the strange fruit in his grasp-symbols belonging to none other than the Oniric Truth of Gluttony.
This cosmic force lay at the core of his battle power and ran through his very bloodline, intertwined with the scarlet flames that surged within him.
Lost in thought, Cain barely noticed the lake trembling beneath him.
It wasnât until the ground began to quake violently, the entire place collapsing in on itself due to the loss of the blue lotuses, that he snapped back to awareness.
Not wanting to be trapped under tons of dirt and rocks, Cain unfurled his massive wings without hesitation.
With a mighty thrust, he ascended swiftly, rising above the lake just before it transformed into nothing more than a small pool filled with debris from the rocks that caved in.
As the scarlet dragon hovered above the ruins, all eyes turned toward him.
The dragons and saintesses gazed at the young dragon with awe and wonder.
The abilities he had displayed were nothing short of astonishing, and he seemed impervious to many of the strange powers that flooded the Demon Kingâs Castle.
The angels, however, were far from pleased.
The more Cain showcased his extraordinary prowess, the more they desired his death.
Their resentment burned even brighter as they realized Cain had only acted when the members of the Tiamat Sect were in danger, allowing the angels to perish without interference.
But despite their growing rage, their attention soon shifted from Cainâs imposing figure to the strange fruit cradled in his claws.
âDragon, that fruit-you should hand over a piece,â a voice echoed across the area.
The words came from Helios, who looked at Cain with a self-righteous expression.
The young Archangelâs tone was authoritative, leaving no room for dissent.
Cain was genuinely surprised by the audacity of the request.
He looked at Helios as if he were staring at someone who had lost his mind.
In his haste to emerge from the collapsing lake, Cain hadnât bothered to hide the fruit, but he hadnât expected anyone to dare lay claim to it.
Before Cain could respond, the Ancient Dragons intervened.
âHmph, angels-shameless as always!â Zalgrim sneered, disdain dripping from his words.
âIf it werenât for Cain taking care of the lotuses, who knows how many would have perished?
Yet you dare demand his treasure?â Eldrick added coldly, his gaze fixed on Helios with unyielding killing intent.
Helios met the dragonsâ glares without a hint of shame.
âMany of my angels perished due to those lotuses.
Itâs clear they were used to feed that fruit, so a portion of it should belong to the Sun Church,â he declared, his voice carrying an air of certainty that suggested he believed no one would dare challenge him.
Turning to Meylin, he continued, âSacred Saintess of the Three Moons, you were tasked with keeping things fair during this truce.
Please, make the dragon see reason.
Of course, you should also receive a portion since your guidance brought us this far.â The Ancient Dragonsâ eyes narrowed, recognizing Heliosâs attempt to prey on any potential greed within the Moon Cult.
Meylinâs expression remained neutral, though a flicker of irritation crossed her eyes.
She would never go against Cain, and the Archangelâs attempt to manipulate her fueled her disdain.
Before she could reply, Cainâs voice cut through the tension.
âYou are right,â he said calmly.
âThe lives and souls of your people were used to nurture this fruit.â Dragons, saintesses, and angels alike were stunned by Cainâs apparent agreement with Helios.
A smug smile spread across the Archangelâs face, his eyes gleaming with triumph.
But then Cainâs lips curled into a cold smile as he added, âThank you for your sacrifice.â Without wasting another moment, Cain lifted the strange fruit and swallowed it whole.
The angels watched in shock, unable to comprehend the scarlet dragonâs blatant disregard for Heliosâs demands.
Heliosâs rage was immense.
His fists clenched tightly, divine light flickering around them as his anger flared.
Just as Helios was about to act, he caught Meylinâs icy gaze fixed upon him.
Although he didnât fear her personally, he wasnât ready to face the combined might of the entire Moon Cult-not now.
Indifferent to the angelsâ outrage or Heliosâs fury, Cain turned inward, focusing on the strange fruit within his Dragon Sinful Heart.
Almost immediately, his entire body trembled as an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from every fiber of his being.
His soul and body swiftly assimilated the power within the fruit, aided by his intrinsic connection with the Oniric Truth of Gluttony.
Those watching saw scarlet flames crackling across Cainâs scales, an aura of overwhelming power and devouring force radiating from him.
His body began to grow larger, his muscles expanding, scales thickening, and his presence becoming even more imposing.
The fruit had propelled his Tiamat Dragon Path into a sudden breakthrough, allowing him to reach the Late Ancient Dragon Rank!
Under the awestruck gazes of all present, Cainâs form expanded until he reached an astounding 65,000 meters in length.
He surpassed Ancient Dragons like Eldrick and Zalgrim, who had already pushed their black holes to the Stellar Abyss Realm. It was clear to all how immense Cainâs talent and potential were.
Undoubtedly, he would one day become an Immortal Dragon and likely exceed that.
âROOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!â All the dragons smiled, some unable to resist the urge to release mighty roars of their own.
The rise of the scarlet dragonâs power not only bolstered their chances of survival within the Demon Kingâs Castle but also ensured that Cain would become a beacon of power within the Tiamat Sect upon their return.
The saintesses remained composed, nodding in acknowledgment of Cainâs growth, impressed by his potential but unthreatened, as there was no animosity between the Moon Cult and the Tiamat Sect.
On the other hand, the angels were consumed by a blazing hatred, their fury burning with the intensity of a sun.
More than anything, they desired to see Cain destroyed.
