Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

The pupils of the remaining Sovereigns constricted, but they did nothing but observe. To them, this was just the death of a competitor, but it was also a reminder of how cruel the martial world could be. The Skeleton King had practically gone his entire life unobstructed, he probably never thought that he would die on this small Fifth Plane.

Primus swept a gaze over everyone else and clasped his hand behind his back. Finally, his eyes landed on the Fire Giant who shuddered uncontrollably. In the far off distance, his body, which had already begun to run away, rushed away even faster, not hesitating to use several life saving measures in a row.

He wasn't a fool. This was a cruel man without any scruples, and he clearly took the fire element as his primary power. To a man who would even experiment on his own disciple, why wouldn't he be even crueler to someone who had just been his enemy moments ago?

The other Sovereigns felt a cold shiver run down their spine. Just who was this man?

The Ice Queen's pupils constricted. "The Human Dragon..."

Her voice was freezing as ice, but as delicate as sparkling morning dew. She was truly a joy to listen to, but her words were anything but. When these words settled in, the skies split open. The clouds spun, forming a majestic crimson dragon. It opened its jaw, its sharp row of teeth glistening as it roared.

This roar couldn't even be considered to be a clap of thunder, it was far more pervading, far more devastating, so loud and imposing that the earth flipped and mountains collapsed beneath its might.

They suddenly understood. This man never used his own name, that was because he never told anyone his name. He wasn't a person who liked to explain himself, so when would he care to leave his name behind? Instead, others had named him the Human Dragon, but this wasn't just because of the blood that ran through his veins...

It was uttered that he had an never-ending greed, one akin to the Dragons of legend. He had built up vaults of endless treasures, but these treasures weren't what one might expect. Rather than being overflowing natural resources, or an abundance of Qi Stones, it was rather ... people.

Whenever the Human Dragon saw a person of interest, he would immediately snatch them. Some would be lucky to survive, but many more died before they could even see the light of day again. The number of Clans and Sects that he had angered as a result was simply far too numerous, however none had been able to deal with him even to this day... and it was even uttered that he had a plane amongst the Dragon of the Ninth Heaven.

Primus didn't react much to this name, he simply didn't care. He simply grabbed out, a large whole forming through the chest of the enormous Fire Giant. Before he could sigh a breath of relief for the fact that only his image was harmed, his true body froze.

"No! NO!"

His roars were completely drowned beneath that of the roaring dragon cloud above. His true body was pulled through the portal that opened up in his projection's chest. He was entirely unable to resist.

"My Fire Giant Clan will make you pay!" He roared in madness, his pride much too great to beg or plead. Plus, he was well aware that even if he did so, it would be entirely useless.

Primus didn't even bother to reply. Pulling the Fire Giant by his neck, he soared into the air as though he was on a leisurely stroll, moving toward the direction Ryu had left in. He swept another glance over the others, but no one dared to say anything as he shattered the barrier and floated away.

At that moment, the agonizing screams of lanjor finally tapered off. He lifted his head to the skies and two beams of shuddering flames soared. His aura broke through a barrier and he crossed into the Omniscient Sky God Realm in a single bound.

Empana's pupils constricted. He could have sworn that lanjor was only in the True Sky God Realm, but he had actually been in the Transcendent Sky God Realm!?

"FUCK!" lanjor roared.

He had such a belly full of fury but nowhere to expel it. His gaze landed on Ellaura and Jorlumin and he punched out without hesitation. Their gazes only had time to flash with fear before they were incinerated into ashes. lanjor had not once felt so frustrated in his life. Primus had suddenly appeared again and waved a hand to make all his problems go away, but rather than making him feel better, it only made him feel all the more infuriated.

How much effort had he put into getting revenge? And yet that opportunity was snatched up right from under his nose, and by the man he hated the most in this world, no less. How could he be anything but frustrated?

"FUCK!" He roared out again. "SHUT UP!"

His head tilted up to the skies, trying to silence the roaring cloud dragon, but what good would that do? If anything, it roared louder, the backlash causing his blood to flow in reverse.

He covered his ears, frustrated and agitated, but slowly, he began to regain his calm. His rage wasn't helping him, unlike the Tatsuya Clan, he didn't have his calm. His rage wasn't helping him, unlike the Tatsuya Clan, he didn't have the Rage Flame, and even if he did, it wouldn't close the enormous gap between them. He could only swallow this insult and take note. He would have his revenge, he swore he would.

Empana hesitated but in the end, he sighed and shook his head. It seemed that the friend he had known wasn't real. He had lost yet another person.

He looked up into the skies, feeling a bit empty.

Ryu appeared out from the void, a frown on his face. He looked back to see the looming dragon in the air, although he could tell it was slowly fading away, it was so powerful that his ears almost bled from here.

After checking that Mae was okay, he shot forward again.
