Boom!

The Golden Dragon plummeted to the ground at breakneck speed, like a sun crashing into the deep sea floor, its extreme heat causing countless waters to evaporate into murky steam. Its fierce power shattered the metal floor, creating a huge crater, while also sending out a ring of parallel shockwaves.

Whoosh!

A pair of glittering golden wings unfurled from the steam, dispersing the surrounding murkiness with a powerful flap.

The Golden Dragon, with steady strides, walked step by step out of the shattered pit.

At the center of the Golden Dragon’s chest, a deep impression was visible, surrounded by completely shattered scales, some splattered out or embedded into the flesh. The scales around the dent also showed extensive cracking, crisscrossed with fissures.

This was the most severe injury the Golden Dragon had sustained since the start of the competition.

However.

Had it been a weaker dragon, Saga’s ferocious super-heavy dragon punch would have been enough to pierce through it.

On the other side, as the Golden Dragon moved, its scales began to shine dazzlingly, especially around the wound on its chest. Layers of brilliant golden light burst forth, solidifying like a viscous liquid light, filling the chest wound and lighting up along the cracks in the surrounding scales, forming a network of radiant patterns, its powerful aura causing the surrounding seawater to tremble.

The Golden Dragon, struck by Saga’s super-heavy punch, not only showed no signs of faltering but seemed even more spirited, the oppressive aura overwhelming, making even ordinary adult dragons, let alone strong ones, feel endangered.

“This shattered scale armor.”

“This dripping blood.”

“This heart-piercing pain.”

“…It’s wonderful, this is the feeling I crave.”

Approaching Saga step by step, the Golden Dragon murmured, a more radiant smile appearing on its bloodied faceplate.

Seeing the Golden Dragon’s demeanor, Saga frowned.

He thought to himself:

“This guy must be a masochist, seeming to enjoy the pain. The more severe the injury, the more pain, the more excited it becomes, and its aura is stronger. Could it be because of the injury?”

In fact.

Saga’s thoughts were almost entirely correct.

The Golden Dragon’s physical attributes were top-notch, especially its brilliant golden scale armor with superior defense, making it rarely and hardly injured. Coupled with severe injuries suffered in its early years, the extreme pain left a profound impression on the Golden Dragon, leading to a strange obsession with pain, and it had to be pain caused by external forces.

The sensation of pain was like a stimulant to the Golden Dragon.

Under severe injury, an ordinary dragon might gradually weaken and lose its fighting spirit.

But not the Golden Dragon. Under severe injury, it could exert even greater strength, frantically pushing every ounce of its spirit until near death, until completely incapacitated.

Lifting its head, the Golden Dragon’s pupils shone brightly, the seawater around its eyes evaporating with a hiss.

“Come on, our battle has just begun!”

A deep roar emanated from its mouth.

In the next instant, its gaze sharpened, staring at the little Golden Dragon in front of it.

Zzzt!

Two highly concentrated, high-temperature, and penetrating golden beams burst from the Golden Dragon’s eyes, piercing through the seawater, shooting towards Saga on the other side.

This was a capability it had never shown before.

Aside from its top-tier physical attributes, the Golden Dragon also possessed certain long-range attack methods, apart from its dragon breath, which were particularly sharp.

The golden beams were as fast as lightning and could move with the Golden Dragon’s gaze, locking onto the target.

As the seawater around the Golden Dragon’s eyes steamed and its pupils shone, Saga had already anticipated the upcoming attack. With a psychic step, his body instantly vanished from its original spot, reappearing on the other side of the arena, behind the Golden Dragon, while raising his claw, drawing in gravitational arcs to increase power, and forcefully striking the Golden Dragon’s head.

However, the Golden Dragon was quick to react and keenly aware.

Through the rhythm of the seawater, it instantly determined Saga’s landing position, turned its head, concentrated its gaze, and the golden pupil light followed suit, turning 180 degrees in an instant, landing on Saga’s chest scales with even greater speed.

Boom!

Under the impact of the two golden pupil beams, Saga’s body was sent flying backward until it hit the energy wall at the edge.

Because the golden pupil light was composed of solar energy mixed with some special energies inherent to the Golden Dragon, and it was solidified, bearing high temperatures, strong penetration, and impact force, the components were very complex. Moreover, it was the first contact in an extremely brief instant. Under Saga’s calculated control, the deflection field resisted the high temperature and penetration of the golden pupil light but could not withstand the enormous impact that came with it.

Zzzt!

The Golden Dragon’s gaze concentrated, its smile radiant, and the golden pupil light continued, attempting to break through the deflection field on Saga’s body.

On the other side.

Saga, pressed against the energy wall, growled lowly, raising his dragon claw in front of his chest to resist the Golden Dragon’s golden pupil light.

Saga’s entire dragon claw became radiant, then inch by inch, he pushed forward, resisting the tremendous impact and deflecting it.

With a flap of his wings, Saga moved sideways to dodge.

Boom!

The golden pupil light hit the energy wall, creating large hexagonal energy grids around it, the intense reaction showcasing its power.

Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon with heated eyes slightly closed them, its eyelids trembling slightly.

The golden pupil light subsequently extinguished.

Reopening its eyes, the Golden Dragon looked up at Saga above, exclaiming:

“Your invisible barrier is truly formidable, seemingly indestructible, without limits.”

Whew… Saga exhaled, looking down at the Golden Dragon, their eyes meeting.

He slowly said:

“Your golden pupil light is also very powerful. If it were any other dragon, even with their robust bodies, they would still be pierced.”

Although they were opponents now, the two dragons did not belittle each other but instead praised each other with admiring eyes.

After all.

Only by defeating an opponent at least as powerful as themselves could they satisfy their desire for battle.

After speaking, the two dragons looked at each other, silent.

Then, a second later, they both burst into action.

Like thunder striking fire, Saga and the Golden Dragon were entangled in combat in an instant, and the intensity of the battle was even higher than before.

With the two dragons at the center of the battle, shockwaves erupted frequently, the hard metal ground shattered and scarred, the currents chaotic and turbulent with metal debris, the pressure magnificent and thick.

The energy wall, which had hardly shown itself during other matches, was frequently triggered, becoming faint and intermittent.

In this new round of close combat, the injured Golden Dragon displayed even faster attack speeds, more powerful strikes, and more agile responses. With each clash with Saga, its faceplate beamed with a gratifying smile, especially when new wounds were left on its body by Saga’s attacks.

Saga also went all out, protecting himself with the deflection field, launching heavy punches, the gravity blade occasionally slashing with the swing of his wings, and his psychic abilities also invading the Golden Dragon’s mental will.

Both sides recklessly unleashed their power.

Ordinary dragons would have been exhausted by now, but these two dragons remained astonishingly vigorous, their life force burning like a furnace, seemingly tireless.

Boom!

Seizing an opportunity, Saga charged at the Golden Dragon, pinning it against the energy wall, then raising his dragon arm, muscles bulging with power, the super-heavy punch smashing towards the Golden Dragon’s head.

The fist, covered in golden diamond-like scales, came fiercely, its momentum formidable.

If this punch landed, the Golden Dragon’s faceplate would definitely be shattered.

The Golden Dragon dodged its head.

Crash!

The super-heavy punch grazed its faceplate and hit the energy wall, triggering large hexagonal grid patterns.

As Saga raised his fist again.

The Golden Dragon’s powerful legs lifted, concentrating power there, the limbs shining with brilliant golden light, creating numerous afterimages, and kicked Saga’s abdomen.

Saga stood unmovable.

He resisted the Golden Dragon’s leg strike with the deflection field and counterattacked with a kick to the Golden Dragon’s abdomen during the leg kick interval. At the same time, Saga raised both arms, the super-heavy punches left and right turning into afterimages, raining down on the Golden Dragon’s head like droplets.

The Golden Dragon’s arms crossed, its scales coated with a layer of solidified brilliant light, resisting Saga’s relentless super-heavy punches. Each collision sent shattered dragon scale fragments flying.

The Golden Dragon was well-prepared for Saga’s super-heavy punches.

The ferocious onslaught lasted a few seconds, Saga’s fists pressing down, breaking through the Golden Dragon’s block defense, and smashing towards the Golden Dragon’s head, but it was dodged in time.

When the Golden Dragon’s head turned back to face Saga, its pupils shone brightly, steam rising around its eyes.

Zzzt!

Two golden pupil lights shot out again, at close range towards Saga’s faceplate.

Saga, who had been on guard for this move, made a timely response.

He tilted his head back, avoiding the Golden Dragon’s golden pupil light.

The two beams grazed past his face.

This time, the pupil light was not as persistent as the first time, just a fleeting flash.

Taking advantage of Saga’s evasion, the Golden Dragon’s claws pressed on Saga’s shoulders, then both claws and legs exerted force sideways, and with a splash, it reversed positions, pressing Saga against the energy wall.

At the same time.

Dazzling brilliance emerged from the Golden Dragon’s claws, like two small suns shining under the sea.

The Sun Dragon Fist rose and fell, unleashing a storm-like offensive against Saga.

Crash crash crash!

The punches, like hitting an indestructible wall, failed to break through Saga’s deflection field but created large spreading ripples, making Saga’s deflection field extremely unstable and consuming a massive amount of energy.

To prevent his Power Essence from dropping below the danger line, making it difficult to release key abilities.

Saga voluntarily lowered the defense level of the deflection field, bearing some of the Golden Dragon’s power with his own physique, his scales gradually cracking, blood dripping.

However, these were superficial injuries, seemingly severe but light for dragons, an acceptable level.

After enduring a wave of the Golden Dragon’s fierce offensive.

Saga did not dodge or evade, instead thrusting his chest forward, welcoming the Golden Dragon’s fists.

Crack!

Under Saga’s meticulous calculations and angle adjustments, the force of this punch was perfectly reversed by the deflection field, and combined with Saga’s proactive impact, it caused the Golden Dragon’s wrist to ache severely, a ring of fine scales cracked, and the entire dragon arm trembled.

Saga pursued the victory, the super-heavy dragon punch rising, hitting the Golden Dragon’s chin.

Boom!

This true Rising Dragon Punch twisted the Golden Dragon’s jaw and sent the stars in its eyes flying out, tracing a parabolic arc, but the Golden Dragon recovered quickly, regaining consciousness in just a second, then adjusting its body and landing steadily.

Stretching out its claw to press on its dislocated jaw, the Golden Dragon forcefully realigned it.

Crack!

The jaw snapped back into place.

The Golden Dragon’s mouth closed and opened again, repeating twice.

Looking up at Saga above, the Golden Dragon’s mouth curled into a radiant smile.

It stomped fiercely.

As the ground beneath its feet shattered, sending out a ring of shockwaves, the Golden Dragon soared into the air like an arrow released from its bow, charging straight up at Saga.

Saga also moved.

His wings flapped vigorously, his claws clenched into fists, and from above, he plummeted like a meteor towards the Golden Dragon.

Like the tip of a spear against a blade of wheat.

The moment the two dragons made contact, they created a terrifying force.

The seawater around them scattered in all directions, briefly forming a spherical void.

Before the surrounding seawater could rush in.

Saga’s body rose, flying out from above the void, his dragon arms trembling slightly.

The Golden Dragon, faster than when it had descended, fell from the void below, crashing to the ground. Its shoulder bore a deep dent, its scales shattered, filled with viscous golden light, containing the injury.

Crash!

The Golden Dragon fell onto the arena floor.

Beneath it, the metal ground cracked and shattered, accompanied by howling seawater and surging waves, twisted fragments flying in all directions, creating a large, murky scene that dragon eyes could not penetrate.

Saga’s brows furrowed, his gaze downward.

This clash had given him the upper hand, but his faceplate showed no joy.

Within the murky area, the blood-soaked Golden Dragon roared.

Along its spinal arc, several scale areas lit up, layers of scales trembling violently, breaking, revealing dazzling bright spots.

Hiss!

Several brilliant golden light columns erupted, tearing apart the murky scene, evaporating massive amounts of seawater, and sweeping towards Saga.

Saga’s figure twisted and turned, eventually standing still on the competition floor, having dodged most of them, but still hit by one, part of its energy penetrating the deflection field, leaving a sun-disc-like scorch mark on Saga’s scales.

Keep in mind, Saga was a being that could bathe in lava.

To scorch him, the temperature of the light column was unimaginable.

These beams of light scattering from the Golden Dragon’s back were fleeting.

Feeling the burn on his body, Saga looked back at the Golden Dragon.

In his view, the high-temperature blood flowing from the Golden Dragon steamed like fog, like golden flames, burning fiercely around it. Under the cover of blood and light flames, each of its scales shone, its whole body radiating like a small sun, its aura rising even higher than before, reaching a terrifying high-tier level eight.

“The more it’s injured, the stronger it becomes… even reaching a breakthrough level in a short time.”

Saga murmured inwardly, noticing the change in the Golden Dragon’s state was related to its injuries.

“Quite troublesome.”

Saga touched the burn on his right chest, grimacing in pain.

At that moment, the Golden Dragon raised its head proudly, staring at Saga, and roared:

“I am the fierce sun!”

Crash!

Wings flapping, the water exploded.

The Golden Dragon rose with even more speed and ferocity than before, with an unstoppable momentum, charging straight at Saga as if a sun had emerged in the deep sea world.

Its current overburdened and broken state couldn’t last long. As time passed, its injuries would worsen until near death, losing combat ability at its strongest moment, so it needed a quick resolution.

“My strength has declined, and my Power Essence isn’t much, continuing the fight would make it difficult to maintain the deflection field, let alone use dragon breath.”

“It’s time for a quick resolution. The Golden Dragon’s current state is very strong, but it’s definitely not easy for it. This must be its last resort.”

Whew!

Taking a deep breath.

Saga’s gaze was electric, his dragon horns majestic like a crown.

Facing the oncoming Golden Dragon, he stepped forward, his voice roaring lowly:

“Come, face me! Submit to me!”

Boom!

With wings even more slender and robust than the Golden Dragon’s, Saga burst forth like a cannonball from its chamber, his back draped with a winding cape woven from chaotic deep-sea currents, confronting the Golden Dragon head-on, facing the ‘Radiant Fierce Sun’.

At this moment, countless giant dragons in the audience focused intently, almost holding their breath.

Time seemed to slow down.

Two golden young dragons, barely ten years old, met each other with a momentum far surpassing ordinary adult dragons, as if mountains were crumbling, an unstoppable ferocity that made some adult giants in the audience, even strong ones, feel palpitations.

“This is the top new generation of my Metal Dragon clan! The future is promising!”

Some giant dragons mused inwardly.

At the same time.

Under the focused gaze of countless giant dragons, the two little Golden Dragons, only a hundred meters apart, were already within reach at their current speed, not even half a breath away before colliding.

As time passed, the distance between them continued to shorten, the atmosphere in the arena becoming increasingly tense and heavy, almost tangible.

Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters… at the moment when only fifty meters remained.

The little Golden Dragon, which had been charging forward with unstoppable momentum, suddenly shifted its body, its wings turning to flap, its tail bending to maintain balance… just as it was about to collide with the Golden Dragon, Saga’s entire body, moving at high speed, suddenly twisted like lightning, turning nearly ninety degrees, displaying agility unimaginable to ordinary dragons.

Snap!

As he turned sharply, Saga’s tail whipped like a divine lash, striking the Golden Dragon’s faceplate, sending golden scales flying.

The Golden Dragon’s eyes burned with battle fervor.

Looking at the abruptly turning little Golden Dragon, the Golden Dragon made a decisive move without hesitation.

Its brilliant golden wings fully extended, adjusting the angle, flapping powerfully, folding its body to follow.

However.

Just as the Golden Dragon turned its body during high-speed linear motion.

Hum!

Tons of seawater suddenly pulsated downward.

The sixfold Gravity Field descended on the Golden Dragon for the first time, causing its body to suddenly sink.

Saga’s gaze sharpened, psychic light blossoming.

Paralysis Suggestion!

The dragon wings suddenly trembled.

The Golden Dragon’s breathing became heavy, and under the targeted influence of the Paralysis Suggestion, its right wing seemed to lose all sensation.

What was worse, the existing psychological shadow was infinitely magnified.

It could have instantly expelled the mental suggestion with its iron-like will, but the Golden Dragon seemed to forget to do so.

Many giant dragons didn’t understand what exactly happened.

In their view, the Golden Dragon, which had been charging at full speed and turning to chase Saga, suddenly lost balance and then plummeted to the ground, rolling over and over under the force of inertia, scales and metal ground colliding, leaving a trail of devastation.

“Great opportunity!”

With the Golden Dragon’s tumbling body reflected in his eyes, Saga flapped his wings, hovering mid-air, and took a deep breath.

Hum!

At a point in Saga’s mouth, a tremendous attraction force emerged, the seawater turning crazy, swirling and converging, continuously joining in.

“The Singularity Dragon Breath of the Amethyst Dragon!”

“The Golden Heart used the Amethyst Dragon’s Singularity Dragon Breath! Does it have Amethyst Dragon blood in its lineage?”

Seeing this unexpected turn, the legendary Brass Dragon exclaimed in surprise.

In the audience, the Amethyst Dragon Tishir looked surprised, her mouth slightly open unknowingly.

Outside the arena.

A certain large Golden Dragon who had been secretly watching his son’s match fell into thought.

“Could it be that my ancestors really had Amethyst Dragon blood? Or was it Renata’s ancestors?”

His gaze shifted back to the arena.

Unlike when the Amethyst Dragon Tishir used the Singularity Dragon Breath, which took a long time to accumulate, Saga spat it out after just a second or two.

Boom!

The Singularity Gravity Ball created a massive deep-sea vortex, its momentum vast, sweeping towards the Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon, which had just stopped rolling and barely regained the function of its wings, looked up only to see the Singularity Dragon Breath approaching head-on.

The rapidly spinning deep-sea vortex had already engulfed its body.

The immense gravitational pull tore at the Golden Dragon’s scales.

The Singularity Gravity Ball was within reach.

Boom!

The Gravity Ball hit the Golden Dragon, instantly expanding and turning into a translucent black sphere with a diameter of over twenty meters, like a black sun, completely engulfing the Golden Dragon’s body.

Hum!

The “black sun” suddenly contracted.

As if bearing immense pressure, the Golden Dragon’s contorted face and body curled inward under the tremendous force, its scales cracking densely.

“Such pain!”

A muffled voice emerged from the Golden Dragon, fine and blinding golden light flickering from the cracks in its shattered scales.

Its somewhat curled body stretched out again.

Hum!

The ‘black sun’ continued to contract, the internal pressure growing more terrifying, while the cracks in the Golden Dragon’s scales increased wildly, the light emitted from its body becoming more intense, quickly turning into a blazing brilliant golden sun.

Then, the black sun kept contracting.

Inside, the brilliant golden sun kept expanding in resistance.

It was as if a black and golden dual-core sun had formed a strange spectacle under the deep sea.

Boom!

The brilliant golden sun suddenly erupted with unprecedented bright light, golden beams piercing through the black sun, and then shattered the engulfing black sun.

From start to finish.

The Golden Dragon, with every scale covered in cracks, spread its wings, surrounded by dazzling sunlight, as if it descended from the heavens, like a deity wielding the power of the sun.

Then.

An extreme sense of danger arrived, already close at hand.

The majestic Golden Dragon had not yet reacted when suddenly it felt a chill in its chest, as if something was missing.

Looking down.

The Golden Dragon’s gaze passed through its chest, seeing its own tail behind it.

A through-and-through hole, obliterating its hard scales and bones, presented itself before the Golden Dragon.

To ensure the Annihilation Dragon Breath hit its target, Saga first used the Singularity Dragon Breath, which had a shorter accumulation time but considerable power, to control the Golden Dragon’s movements. Then, as the Golden Dragon broke through the gravity ball, the Annihilation Dragon Breath roared in simultaneously.

Looking at the Golden Dragon with a huge, terrifying hole in its chest, many giant dragons felt a wave of phantom pain, shuddering.

Such an injury was absolutely life-threatening for dragons.

The legendary giant dragons watching the match sweated, ready to intervene and stop the match at any moment, and some ancient dragons capable of high-level restoration or even resurrection spells also frowned secretly.

At the same time.

Countless eyes focused on the opposite side of the Golden Dragon—

Saga’s mouth slowly closed, his three pairs of horns majestic like a crown, his body wounded but his bearing noble, his diamond-like golden scales shining brightly.

Between Saga and the Golden Dragon, endless seawater squeezed towards the middle, filling the void where all matter had been annihilated along the way.

The blood-soaked dragon, the surging sea, the void of nothingness, and the heavy ink of dragon blood… together formed a cruel and beautiful spectacle.

In this composition.

The Golden Dragon slowly lifted its head, looking straight at Saga.

After a brief numbness, unimaginable pain surged.

At the brink of death, the ultimate thrill of excitement caused the Golden Dragon to tremble, every cell in its body screaming in frenzy.

Boom boom boom!

Dragon Might, deep and abyssal, erupted from the Golden Dragon, climbing higher and higher, eventually crossing the tier eight limit, reaching a staggering tier nine level.

“It hasn’t reached its limit yet?”

Power Essence nearly depleted, Saga, exhausted from the prolonged high-intensity battle, pupils constricted, his expression slightly darkened.

“No, it’s at the end of its tether, this is just the last madness.”

His brows relaxed, Saga remained undaunted, counting silently in his heart.

“3”

In the next instant.

The Golden Dragon moved, vanishing from its spot, the seawater behind it bursting in circles.

“2”

In a blink, the Golden Dragon appeared in front of Saga.

It raised its claw, locking onto Saga, its aura having climbed to its peak, its figure seemingly becoming infinitely tall.

“1”

Tier nine against tier six, a crushing situation had formed.

But, facing such a vast disparity, Saga, confronted with the Golden Dragon’s overwhelming might, remained calm and composed, his serene gaze like that of a king surveying his domain.

“Stop!”

At the same time, as the countdown in Saga’s mind ended, before the unstoppable offensive could fall.

The Golden Dragon suddenly trembled, its body’s golden light becoming ethereal.

Thump… its dragon claw fell, but without the earth-shattering force imagined, ultimately resting gently on Saga’s shoulder, as tender as a lover’s light tap.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this battle.”

“Saga Alzhus… you’ve won.”

The fading Dragon Tongue reached Saga’s ears, and after uttering these words, the Golden Dragon, whose aura had reached its zenith, fell unconscious on the spot, its breath plummeting.

Its body softened, one claw and its head resting on Saga’s left and right shoulders, collapsing into Saga’s arms in an intimate posture.

“Alzhus… this battle was equally enjoyable for me.”

At the center of countless fervent gazes, Saga whispered inwardly.

The fierce battle had ended.

Both spirit and body relaxed.Saga, aching all over, didn’t want to move an inch, half-embracing the resplendent Golden Dragon as he stood his ground.

Meanwhile.

The exhilarated shouts of the legendary Brass Dragon echoed through the air.

“The victor! The Golden Heart, Saga Alzhus!”

“He has brought us countless surprises and twists, delivering a spectacular match!”

“He has defeated Hyperion, the most radiant star among the young dragons of this generation, surmounted a mountain that seemed insurmountable to the others, and has himself become an even loftier peak!”

“Let us cheer for him!”

The roar of dragons filled the air, and the entire arena erupted in excitement.

After the most intense and breathtaking battle since arriving at the deep Sea Dragon City, Saga triumphed over the Golden Dragon by a narrow margin.
