Chapter 824: Shattered Horns
Within the colossal sphere—hundred meters in diameter, a maelstrom of Thunderbolt and Fire—was a scorching Flame Column, like a spear forged from pure fury, piercing through with a blinding radiance that seared the soul. It tore through the thunderstorm from behind, exploding outward with the crackling roar of collapsing air.
“How… is this possible?” For the first time, Gorazdra’s eyes betrayed true panic.
She poured every ounce of her will into the horns, channeling the full fury of Destruction Divine Thunder, pushing the lightning breath to its absolute limit. In any other time, such a strike would have shattered cities, annihilated armies, and plunged rebels into despair.
But she faced the Emperor of the Ashen Flame—now the purest-blooded Ancestral Dragon in the Material Realm.
And Kai Xiusu had prepared for this moment for far too long. He had emptied his body of Sun God Power, and with the full might of Karex’s Heart, he had infused his breath with several drops of searing, divine blood.
Boom—
The detonation was apocalyptic. A storm of brilliant flame and blinding lightning erupted in a chaotic dance. Kai Xiusu’s Dragon Breath tore open the thunderstorm, crashing into Gorazdra’s chest with the force of a collapsing world.
“Kai Xiusu!” A scream of agony ripped from deep within her throat, echoing across the sky. Since her ascension to quasi-divinity, she had never known such pain.
The flaming spear, charged with divine power, shattered her scales, reduced thick flesh to ash, and tore through her torso like a blade through paper—leaving a gaping, horrific wound nearly cleaving her in two. Charred meat exposed, organs and bone laid bare, the stench of burnt flesh hung heavy in the air.
Had this been any ordinary dragon, such a wound would have sent it plummeting from the sky, its life extinguished. But Gorazdra was a quasi-divine being, her life force far beyond mortal limits. Even if her heart were reduced to ash, she would not die.
Still, lightning crackled across her body, and countless tiny particles swarmed toward her wounds. Blood ceased its flow, and the gaping tear began to knit itself shut with unnatural speed.
“You cannot kill me,” she roared, raising her dragon claw. “I will break free of the material bonds—ascend to my divine position!”
She chanted ancient dragon tongue, her voice a storm in itself. Lightning cascaded from the heavens, converging upon her horns, which pulsed with power. She ignored the cost to her divinity, unleashing the full might of Tiamat’s Blue Dragon horns—unleashing the ultimate strength of Destruction Divine Thunder.
Now, the Ancient Blue Dragon resembled a black hole devouring all light. Thunder roared like an endless tide, swirling into a vortex thousands of meters wide, turning the sky into a maelstrom of blinding lightning. The air itself trembled.
Lightning wrapped around her body, fusing, coalescing, rebuilding her broken flesh. Her skin became a living storm—rippling, glowing with intricate, pulsing veins of light. Her form grew monstrous, terrifying: bones jutted from her flesh, yet her body swelled with unnatural power. Every bolt of lightning became a wing. Every surge of thunder became her flesh. The sky itself seemed swallowed whole.
With a roar that split the clouds, she raised her claw and gripped a thick column of lightning.
“Kai Xiusu! To die beneath such divine power—this is your honor for all eternity!”
“An elemental-energy body?” Kai Xiusu lifted his head. His pupils reflected the storm’s fury, the blinding lightning dancing across his irises. He let out a cold snort.
“Bluffing nonsense. Do you really think—only you possess a divine form?”
Thump. Thump. Thump.
A steady, rhythmic heartbeat echoed from within the Red Dragon Emperor’s body. Karex’s Heart, like a divine engine, pulsed with immense power, emitting waves of sacred energy.
Now that he had achieved the “Dragon of Divine Ascension” class and ascended to semi-godhood, Kai Xiusu had complete control over the heart. No longer would it drive him mad.
With each beat, a torrent of flame erupted from his body, engulfing the sky for thousands of meters. The fire coalesced into a living, elemental form—his body swelling to hundreds of meters in length, a volcano of fire on the verge of eruption.
“Come on, Gorazdra!” Flames burst from Kai Xiusu’s eyes and nostrils. A roar erupted from his throat, a sound that shook the heavens—accompanied by an explosion of experience points.
“This is the second round!”
“Is this your final breath, Hybrid Dragon?” she sneered.
Before she could finish, she unleashed her thunderous wings, descending with overwhelming force. Her claw swung like a storm, hurling the lightning spear—formed from thousands of bolts—directly at Kai Xiusu’s head.
Boom!
The thunderous strike slammed into the Red Dragon Emperor. Kai Xiusu inhaled sharply, then unleashed a torrent of dragon flame, vaporizing the lightning spear midair.
But in an instant, a storm erupted—rain lashed down, clouds churned violently, and the Ancient Blue Dragon plunged from the sky, dragging a flood of thunder in her wake.
Awooo—
Two colossal entities, each bearing divine bodies, collided once more. Electric sparks exploded. Fire raged. The shockwave tore through the sky, unleashing a hurricane that scoured the surface world.
Kai Xiusu swung his claw, slashing at the wounds on the Ancient Blue Dragon’s chest. His limbs were massive, muscles like iron balls pressed together. The claw roared through the air, piercing the thunder armor, tearing off great chunks of flesh.
“Blue Dragon! Who gave you the courage to fight me in melee?”
Awooo—
Gorazdra screamed in pain, twisting her body violently. She flailed her wing, breaking free just enough to whip her tail upward in a thunderous lash.
But Kai Xiusu showed no fear. With one powerful forelimb, he seized the incoming tail mid-swing. His maw, filled with blood and fire, snapped open—revealing jagged teeth wrapped in dragon flame. He sank his teeth deep into the tail.
Crack! Snap!
Lightning shattered like glass. The outer layer of thunder was torn apart. Flesh ripped open. Scales flew like shrapnel. Warm dragon blood sprayed in a geyser.
“Damned Hybrid Dragon! You’re seeking death! Let go!” Gorazdra screamed, raising her horns. Lightning cracked down from the sky, striking Kai Xiusu’s body, trying to force his jaws open.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each bolt struck with brutal precision—charred marks scarred his head, neck, and spine. The fire-flesh that made up his body began to dissolve.
Yet Kai Xiusu held on. His claws dug deep into the dragon’s body. He refused to let go.
Furious, Gorazdra clenched her wings, then slammed the Red Dragon Emperor into the ground with crushing force. The two titans crashed into a mountain, and with a thunderous roar, a thousand-meter peak crumbled into dust.
But Kai Xiusu did not release his grip. To a dragon with immortality, this was but a scratch—broken bones, shattered scales. He would heal. His only goal now was one: defeat Gorazdra. Win this war.
Thunder roared through the ruins. The Ancient Blue Dragon and Red Dragon Emperor fought amidst the rubble, their tails writhing, the wound on the tail widening. Blood poured freely.
Then—Rip!
The sound of flesh and bone tearing echoed across the sky. The massive tail was ripped clean off.
Gorazdra screamed to the heavens, her vertical pupils flaring with electric light. Her eyes burned with madness and rage.
“How dare you desecrate a divine body?! I will kill you!”
She lunged forward, jaws wide, electricity crackling between her teeth. Her bite was a death sentence—aimed at Kai Xiusu’s neck.
“Tch. Still dreaming, I see. You’ve been blinded by your own ascension fantasy,” Kai Xiusu sneered. He flared his wings and dodged with ease.
But Gorazdra was lightning-fast. She spun, snapping her head around, and bit down hard on the Red Dragon Emperor’s right wing.
Crack!
Lightning exploded. Air imploded. The sound was sharp, clear. The fire-covered wing disintegrated instantly. The bones shattered. The wing collapsed, hanging limp.
Intense lightning surged through Kai Xiusu’s body, the current shaking him violently. His scales split open. Pain surged through his mind—severe headache, dizziness.
But he knew—this was the moment. The perfect chance to end her.
In the storm of electric fury, Kai Xiusu closed his eyes. He fell sideways, appearing to lose consciousness.
Hahahaha! Gorazdra laughed, her voice triumphant. “Now, Hybrid Dragon—how will you face me?”
“Kill you…” Her voice was a guttural growl, raw with hatred. As she clamped down on the Red Dragon Emperor’s body, her horns—massive and glowing—began to gather lightning. The sky darkened. Clouds churned. A hundred-meter-wide column of blue-silver thunderbolt formed above her, poised to strike.
It would be instant annihilation.
But then—Kai Xiusu’s eyes snapped open.
A faint golden light flared in his vertical pupils. He roared, lunging forward with terrifying speed, his claw seizing the massive horn that pulsed with divine lightning.
Through battle, Kai Xiusu had discovered her weakness.
The horns of the Ancient Blue Dragon were Tiamat’s divine form—beyond the material plane, a vision from a parallel existence. They were intangible, unbreakable, unattainable.
But in the moment of full divine thunder emission—when the horns briefly manifested in the material plane—there was a flaw. A window. A chance.
And Kai Xiusu had seized it.
He gripped the horn, ignoring the lightning that crackled across his palm. He raised his head, baring his fangs in a fierce, triumphant smile.
“I’ve got you.”
“What? Impossible—” Gorazdra’s face twisted in shock. Her arrogance vanished, replaced by terror. She thrashed her head, trying to break free.
But Kai Xiusu poured every ounce of strength into the grip. He used his entire body, pressing down with all his might, pinning the Ancient Blue Dragon beneath him—rendering her motionless.
“If that’s how you want it… then I’ll show no mercy to your subordinates.”
Her eyes narrowed with cold, ruthless intent. If she let the divine thunder fall, Kai Xiusu would be obliterated. But she—born of thunder—would survive.
“Join me in this feast of destruction, Hybrid Dragon!” she screamed, wild with fury.
Boom!
A thousand thunderbolts raged from the sky, a deluge of divine lightning unleashed by Tiamat’s horns. The heavens opened. The storm poured down, drowning the two dragons in a torrent of pure annihilation.
Awooo!
Kai Xiusu screamed in agony. It felt as though he were being torn apart—thousands of silver needles piercing his body. His scales, flesh, organs—all disintegrated, melting, crumbling into ash that spread across his form.
Gorazdra suffered too—but she was an Ancestral Blue Dragon, the legendary “Thunder Tyrant.” Her resistance to lightning was far greater. She would endure longer.
Kai Xiusu gritted his teeth, his face twisted in agony. His vertical pupils burned with ruthless determination.
And still, his claw did not loosen. Even as lightning scorched his palm, even as his flesh was mangled, he held on.
He knew—this was the moment of life or death. One must fall.
“Break—” He roared, his left claw slamming down on her jaw. His right claw twisted with the recoil, wrenching her horn.
CRACK—
The sound rang across the sky. The massive horn snapped clean off. Crystal fragments flew through the air, sparking with electric light. The lightning danced around Kai Xiusu’s claw like a storm.
Gorazdra’s horn—once a symbol of divine dignity—now lay broken, torn, and exposed.
Her face twisted in madness. She reached out with her claw, chest heaving, eyes wide with despair.
“No—”
