This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 296 - 68: Breakthrough; Arrival of the Frost Elf Queen

However, whether gold or magic pearls, neither is particularly precious to the Naga Empire.

Within the Naga Empire’s seas, there are tens of thousands of gold mines of various sizes, and some that are too small are not even worth mining. The Naga Third Princess herself commands over a hundred well-quality gold mines, and besides that, there is a tribute from various major forces at the end of each year.

And the magic pearls? The Naga Empire has a slave race called the Ast Clam People. This tribe breeds tens of millions of Giant Clam Demons ranging from low level to top level, and only the magic pearls that reach an advanced level are qualified to be tributed to the Naga Third Princess.

To take out some shares as gifts for the Black Dragon Lord is just a matter of a word.

It is often said on the continent that the wealth of giant dragons is piled high as mountains, and that hunting a giant dragon can lead to great fortune.

But that is without comparison to the sea race.

Even the sea nobles with a bit of power possess wealth that can make a kingdom extremely envious.

Yet even knowing the extreme wealth of the sea race, not many forces dare to seize it.

The deep sea is not suitable for land creatures to battle in. More practically, on the mainland, a force that can gather an army of a million professionals is considered powerful. But within the sea race, just a slightly stronger slave race under the Naga Empire can easily field an army of millions of professionals.

The gap is not only in the lower-tier warriors, but also substantial between high-tier strong individuals. Legendary powerhouses, rare on the continent, are not so rare in the deep sea.

The land and the deep sea are simply not comparable.

If an invasion were to happen, it would be the deep sea invading the mainland.

However, to the sea race, the mainland is undoubtedly an arid ’desert’ area with a harsh environment and scarce resources. Except for sea slave races like the Sha Hua Fish People who are interested, slightly stronger sea races would not even consider turning their gaze to the mainland.

....

As time passed—a month, two months...nearly a year had gone by in the blink of an eye.

Black Castle, Dragon Pool.

With the dissipation of a spell’s spiritual light, the Tier Six Instant Transmission Technique finally reached the Returning to Truth Level.

Thus, the Water Dragon Skill, Otherworld Teleportation Technique, and Instant Teleportation Skill—all three Tier-Six spells—consummated at the Returning to Truth Level.

When the substantive spell rune sank into Udi’s sea of spirit, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the previously calm center of the sea of spirit, with vast amounts of spiritual power pouring into the vortex, undergoing purification.

It was not only the spiritual power; within Udi’s colossal dragon body, the vast magic power was also frenziedly compressed and purified, driven by the breakthrough in tier.

The transformation of magic power was much greater compared to the already metamorphosed spiritual power due to the advancement of the Dark Demon’s Eye.

A day later, Udi slowly opened his amber-dragon eyes.

Feeling the multiplication of the pure and powerful magic within, he smiled slightly.

With a thought, around him, a vast amount of spiritual light of spells surged, and in an instant, more than twenty lifelike water dragons were conjured out.

The energy contained within each Tier-Six Water Dragon was several times stronger than before Udi had advanced to a Master-Level Mage.

The number of water dragons that could be conjured in one go also increased by six.

"How could this be a Tier-Six spell? It might as well be called an Eighth Ring Spell,"

said Udi with emotion, watching the over twenty water dragons traversing the high altitude.

Legendary powerhouses with physical weaknesses might not dare to underestimate these water dragons.

After experimenting with the changes in spell power, Udi finally looked at his current status panel.

[Udi: Biological Level 18 Low Tier; Mage Level 15 Low Tier] (Body Length: 63.9m)

Besides the recent breakthrough in the mage level, the biological level had also advanced from Tier Seventeen Middle to the Initial Stage of Level 18 in the past month.

"My current strength shouldn’t be weaker than a Tier One Legendary Black Dragon, right?" Udi pondered to himself. At Tier Seventeen Middle, he could already kill a Legendary First Tier Black Water Crab. Now, at the initial stage of Level 18, coupled with the breakthrough in caster level, improvement in spell proficiency, emergence of the Mutated Talent [Black Water], and the elevation of [Dark Demon’s Eye] to Pseudo-Tier Three...

Strength comparable to a Legendary Black Dragon is not just his self-satisfaction, but rather due to all the advancements above.

With a biological level at the initial stage of Level 18, his strength already matches a Tier One Legendary Black Dragon, which is quite outstanding. This leap bridges both a legendary metamorphosis of life essence and the gap of a small level.

When Udi ultimately ascends to legendary status, his initial strength may very likely reach Legendary Third Tier.

"However, while my strength has increased rapidly, it’s still insufficient to hold substantial sway in the Tal Plane," Udi murmured thoughtfully.

This past year, the Crimson Nest launched an intense offensive against the Northern Continent from its foundation in the Eastern Continent’s territory.

The preeminent forces occupying the Northern Continent—the Frost Elf Kingdom, Frost Giant Kingdom, and the Barbarian Kingdom—were thoroughly dominated by the four Legendary Giant Dragons and dozens of Pseudo-Legendary Combat Power dragons of the Crimson Nest, ranging from mature to extremely aged stages.

In the meantime, the Frost Elves, Frost Giants, and Barbarians also sought aid from the Pan-Continent Race Alliance, yet those legendary powerhouses, mindful of the watchful "Mother of Deep Red," dared not show themselves, fearing that revealing themselves might lead to being crushed by the gigantic dark-red dragon claw that shattered space.

After much delay, the Pan-Continent Alliance finally only dispatched some pseudo-legendary strength warriors and high-level casters for support to assist the Frost Elves in their retreat.
