Coiling Dragon: I Transcend with Earth Element

"Oh?"

Just as Palhouse was undergoing his tribulation, Roy felt something.

"Boom!"

Palhouse unleashed a spear strike, which was hit by the final bolt of lightning and slammed into the ground, creating a hundred-meter-deep crater.

"Pfft..."

Palhouse coughed up a mouthful of blood, his bones aching as if they would shatter.

However, Palhouse had completed this tribulation of Proving the Dao.

The next instant, the Heavenly Dao appeared within Palhouse's soul and recorded his Dao of Water.

The moment the Dao of Water was recorded by the Heavenly Dao, Ye An, who had already achieved Emperor status on the Sun Star, wore a grave expression.

A new law had appeared between heaven and earth, signifying the emergence of another great figure among humans, akin to his teacher.

However, what troubled Ye An was that this new law seemed to subtly restrain his Fire Element Laws.

Would this newfound great figure oppose his teacher?

...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Leding was locked in a fierce exchange with a Blood-Rage Demonic Ape, which stood over 180 meters tall.

The Blood-Rage Demonic Ape was a Level 7 Fierce Beast.

Yet, Leding was currently able to fight it head-on using his own physical strength.

This indicated that in these past five years, Leding had cultivated his body to a level comparable to that of a Level 7 Warrior.

The nearly two-hundred-meter-tall Blood-Rage Demonic Ape had fists the size of small buildings, each over ten meters across.

In contrast, Leding's fists, less than twenty centimeters in size, were not at all at a disadvantage in the exchange.

Even from the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape's ferocious eyes, one could see a look of utter disbelief and a hint of pain.

Suddenly, Leding seemed to sense something, and his attack slowed for a moment.

"Boom!"

In that instant, Leding was directly struck by the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape's fist and sent crashing into the ground, creating a crater over thirty meters wide.

"Hmm?"

Having been bullied by this strange human for so long, the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape, finally landing a hit, let out a roar and excitedly charged forward, unleashing a torrent of iron fists upon Leding.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

The ground boomed under the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape's onslaught, and cracks spread outwards from where its fists impacted. The area of cracked and sinking ground expanded from over thirty meters to fifty meters.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from beneath the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape's fists.

"Hmph, you're quite useless. I let you hit me for so long, and that's all the strength you have?"

This voice startled the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape.

Then, it withdrew its fists and stared wide-eyed into the crater.

It saw that the human who had been lying at the bottom of the pit, spread out like the character '太', had only had his clothes destroyed by its previous barrage.

"I never expected someone to have already succeeded in Proving the Dao."

Leding had indeed sensed a familiar aura in the Starry Sky Universe just then.

It was the aura of the Water Element Laws.

"And it's Water, no less."

"Who could it be? The Paragon Palhouse? Or the Death Sovereign?"

"But it doesn't matter who it is, no one is stronger than me!"

Leding sprang up from the ground, exuding a powerful aura of dominance.

This was the outward manifestation of his supreme self-confidence.

"Dragonization!"

"Roar!"

As Leding roared, his body rapidly expanded. His head transformed into a dragon's head, his body was covered in patches of green dragon scales, and his hands and feet became dragon claws.

Simultaneously, an aura of supreme dominance, disdainful of all beings, emanated from Leding as if it were tangible.

The surrounding grass flattened against the ground, and the trees bowed towards Leding.

Before Leding's overwhelming draconic might, the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape felt as if the human before it was hundreds of meters tall, while it itself was merely a tiny creature less than three meters high.

Roy slowly floated up from the ground, placing his hand on the head of the trembling Blood-Rage Demonic Ape. With a gentle flick, Roy tore off the ape's head.

"Chiii..."

A rain of blood sprayed from the Blood-Rage Demonic Ape's neck. Ten breaths later, its headless body crashed to the ground.

"Looks like I need to pick up the pace."

Dropping the massive Blood-Rage Demonic Ape head in his hand, Roy looked up, his gaze distant.

Over the years in the Starry Sky Universe, Roy had already determined his "Dao."

Who was he?

He was the renowned Four Divine Beast Lord God of the Magic Universe's countless planes – the Azure Dragon!

Therefore, in the Starry Sky Universe, he would be nothing else but the Divine Beast – the Azure Dragon!

If the power gap brought by the Lord Godhead wasn't considered, Roy had never been defeated by anyone of the same level.

In terms of physical strength, he was the first among the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods to raise his physical strength to the Lord God Artifact level.

Aside from Off's slightly inferior Samsara Golden Body, whether it was Life Sovereign Vivian, Death Sovereign Lilia, or Destruction Sovereign Utred, the strength of their divine bodies was at most comparable to Roy's.

With his innate divine ability that could alter the flow of time, who could defeat him?

Over the past ten years, Roy had finally created his "Dao" based on his offspring's Dragonization transformations.

"Dragon!"

That's right, Roy's Dao was "Dragon!"

His hands Dragonized, his feet Dragonized, his head Dragonized...

As long as he finally completed the Dragonization of his torso, Roy would be able to Proving the Dao through "Dragon" and transform into the Divine Beast of the Starry Sky Universe – the Azure Dragon!

...

"Water Element Laws? Someone has already Proved the Dao?"

"Is it Palhouse, or Roy?"

By a small river, Lilia, who was drawing water, froze.

Although she had long anticipated that she would have a gap with Paragon in her understanding and creation of Death, Life, and Water, Lilia hadn't expected the gap to be this large.

For Death Law, there was Dannington, who had been Paragon for nearly a thousand cycles.

For Life Rule, there was Life Sovereign Vivian, also Paragon.

Even with her confidence, Lilia had to admit that her chances of successfully competing for the Dao with these two were slim.

Only for Water Element, Azure Dragon Sovereign Roy, had broken through with the help of the Power of Faith.

Palhouse, on the other hand, was a High-level God who had been Paragon for less than ten cycles. It was likely that his research on Water Element Laws wasn't as powerful as Dannington and Vivian's.

Unfortunately, even though Lilia specialized in Water Element Laws, after accounting for the time spent tempering her body, she was still a step too late.

Based on Lilia's current progress, it would take at least another five years for her to Proving the Dao.

This was even with Palhouse having already Proved the Dao and recorded the Water Element Laws into the Starry Sky Universe's Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, it would have taken Lilia at least twenty years to successfully create her Dao.

Dispersing the Water Element Laws around her, Lilia let out a sigh.

"Sister, let's hurry. There are Golden-Haired Baboons around here. We need to get water quickly, or we'll be in danger when those Golden-Haired Baboons come back."

This was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, named Xiao Zhu.

Ten years ago, Lilia had accidentally encountered people from this village. Xiao Zhu's mother had mistaken Lilia for a wanderer whose village had been destroyed and invited Lilia to join them in Changxi Village.

Five years ago, Xiao Zhu's mother went out to fetch water and encountered Golden-Haired Baboons, ultimately never returning.

Since then, Lilia had lived with Xiao Zhu, taking over the task of fetching water for the village.

At the same time, she had been cultivating Water Law and tempering her body.

By now, Lilia's physical strength was no less than that of a Level 6 Warrior.

The Golden-Haired Baboons, feared by the villagers, were nothing more than ants that Lilia could kill with a casual flick of her wrist.

However, Lilia had never helped the villagers of Changxi Village kill a single fierce beast.

Even when the village was attacked by fierce beasts, Lilia would still hide in the cave dwellings with the other women and children.

On one hand, Lilia found the survival methods of these humans very interesting, far more interesting than watching the gods fight in Netherworld Mountain.

On the other hand, Lilia felt that after spending so much time surviving with these humans, something seemed to have grown within her heart. Her instincts told her that this sliver of insight was very important.

Therefore, for the past few years, Lilia had been playing the role of Xiao Zhu's mother, teaching Xiao Zhu everything that Xiao Zhu's mother had taught her.

"Mhm, I've already finished drawing water."

Collecting her thoughts, Lilia picked up the water buckets and, with Xiao Zhu, quietly left the stream.

After Lilia and Xiao Zhu left, two Golden-Haired Baboons, hiding deep in the forest, cautiously emerged.

That demoness is finally gone...

"Fate... is truly wondrous..."

Off looked at the little white rabbit before him, a smile gracing his lips.

Over the years, besides researching fierce beasts, Off had never neglected the comprehension and creation of the Death Law.

But to Off's surprise, he actually sensed traces of "fate" in the Starry Sky Universe.

Based on the traces of fate he had discovered, and his previous understanding of the path of "fate" in the Magic Universe, Off realized how crude and shallow his proud "fate" rule was in comparison to the "fate trajectories" of the Starry Sky Universe.

In the Magic Universe, his so-called "fate" rule, only the Great Prophecy Art, could be considered "fate" to some extent.

According to Off's research, in the Starry Sky Universe, a blade of grass, a tree, a wild beast, and even powerful fierce beasts all had their own "fate."

Their fates were like threads, weaving together, intertwining, and then evolving into new fates.

Previously, Off had used the fate rule he comprehended to influence the fate thread of this little white rabbit, which was twenty thousand meters away from him, connecting it to his own fate thread.

Afterward, Off carefully observed the little white rabbit.

From last night until now, nearly a full night had passed.

This little white rabbit had experienced nearly a hundred intersections of fate, such as being preyed upon, preying, being injured, getting lost, and resting.

Every time it encountered a fate intersection, the little white rabbit's fate thread would dance wildly. With each deviation, Off could find one or several possibilities where the little white rabbit's fate thread would diverge from his own.

At that moment, Off felt a premonition.

If the little white rabbit had chosen those fate threads that led away from him, he would not have been able to influence its fate thread anymore, or he would have suffered a very severe backlash.

"Fate is not fixed. No, it's not that fate isn't fixed, but that the fate of all living beings in the Starry Sky Universe has no 'certain death' fate."

"Hundreds of fate turns, and each time, the little white rabbit had a chance to escape the fate of encountering me and dying."

"It's a pity it never seized the opportunity."

Seeing that the little white rabbit had arrived before him through a series of coincidences or inevitabilities, Off raised his hand.

Since the little white rabbit hadn't seized the chance to live and had arrived before him, he might as well kill it.

Just as Off was about to kill the little white rabbit, he felt a premonition and looked up.

"Oh? Someone has successfully created a Dao? The Water Element Laws, is it Palhouse?"

By the time Off came back to his senses, the little white rabbit before him had already escaped and fled into a cave.

And Off looked at the little white rabbit's receding fate thread, a smile playing on his lips.

"Interesting, the fate of this universe is truly profound."

"The fate of all living beings, even those that seem destined for death, have a minuscule chance of obtaining immense fortune..."
