Chapter 591: Chapter 438: The Giant Dragon Partner’s Continuous Breakthroughs
RUMBLE...
Three days later, in the afternoon, a dull rumble of thunder echoed from the clear sky without warning.
Raylo, who was in the middle of meditation, snapped his eyes open.
He looked up at the sky.
Over Black Stone Territory, vast swaths of clouds as dark as ink had gathered at some unknown time.
The clouds churned and converged, completely obscuring the Sun and instantly plunging the entirety of Black Stone Territory into gloom.
CRACKLE...
Deep within the clouds, streaks of silvery-white lightning, like giant pythons, darted about frantically, flashing and letting out heart-pounding booms.
A fierce gale erupted between heaven and earth.
In the camp, countless flags whipped and snapped in the wind. Some of the less sturdy tents were even torn from their moorings and sent flying.
"What’s going on?"
"Why has the sky changed so suddenly?"
Panicked shouts echoed throughout the camp.
The Knights rushed out from their barracks, staring up at the apocalyptic scene in the sky, their faces etched with horror and unease.
Raylo watched the sky calmly.
He could feel it.
This awesome power of heaven and earth was not targeting Black Stone Territory.
Its source was...
Raylo slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling upon the azure Thunderbolt Light Cocoon beside him, a sphere woven from countless serpents of electricity!
"It’s coming!"
He muttered to himself.
The moment the words left his lips—
BOOM!
The Thunderbolt Light Cocoon enveloping Lightning suddenly erupted with dazzling light!
A surge of Thunderbolt Power, more violent and purer than ever before, erupted from the center of the Light Cocoon!
ZZZRRRAAAACKLE!
Endless, impossibly thick azure serpents of electricity gushed from the Light Cocoon, sweeping out in all directions like a flash flood from a broken dam!
High above, the heavy, dark clouds seemed to answer some unseen summons.
The cloud layer roiled with increasing violence, the vortex at its center spinning faster and faster.
K-KRAACK!
A colossal bolt of lightning, as thick as a barrel and powerful enough to seemingly rip the sky in two, tore down from the center of the vortex!
Its target was the furiously erupting Thunderbolt Light Cocoon in the plaza below!
Thunder Punishment!
’No, this isn’t Thunder Punishment.’
’This is an initiation!’
’A baptism!’
Raylo’s heart leaped into his throat.
He knew this was the most critical step in Lightning’s breakthrough to Adolescence!
If it survived, it would be reborn, ascending to a new realm of power in a single step and officially entering the Domain Level!
If it failed, its very soul would be extinguished by the violent Power of Origin, and it would be reduced to ash!
ROAR!
A dragon’s cry, filled with defiance and battle intent, erupted from within the Thunderbolt Light Cocoon!
Faced with the terrifying Thunderbolt descending from the sky, Lightning showed not a shred of fear.
It chose to meet it head-on!
The next second, the colossal, barrel-thick bolt of lightning smashed violently into the Thunderbolt Light Cocoon below!
BOOOOOOOM!
In that instant, the entire world was drained of all sound and color.
All that remained was an expanse of white—so blindingly brilliant it was impossible to look at directly!
A terrifying thunderbolt shockwave, like a physical ripple, swept out madly in all directions!
Raylo activated his Fighting Spirit, and a thick Shield formed from it materialized before him.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The violent shockwave slammed into the Energy Shield, creating a series of muffled booms.
Raylo stared intently at the center of the vast, white sea of light.
His heart was twisted in a knot.
’Did it succeed?’
’Lightning... How is it?’
Time seemed to stretch on infinitely.
After raging for several dozen seconds, the sea of white light—powerful enough to destroy everything—finally began to slowly dissipate.
High above, the dense, dark clouds also seemed to have exhausted all their Power and began to slowly thin out.
Sunlight began to spill through the gaps in the clouds once more.
Lightning was reborn.
Its body had grown to over eighty meters long, its streamlined form covered in a layer of fine, azure Dragon Scales.
Tiny, silvery-white arcs of electricity danced along the edge of every Dragon Scale.
On its head, two magnificent Dragon Horns, like a pair of inverted Thunderbolt Battle Spears, glinted with a cold, menacing light.
A pair of enormous, membranous wings, wreathed in thunderclouds and lightning, slowly unfurled behind it. Each gentle flap left trails of electricity in the air.
It merely coiled there silently, yet a tyrannical and violent Dragon Mighty, the kind belonging to a Domain Level Powerhouse, swept out in all directions like a physical tide!
Lightning!
It had succeeded!
It had successfully broken through from the Growth Stage to Adolescence!
It had successfully transformed into a true Thunder Dragon, stepping into the Tier Five Domain Level!
ROAR!
A high-pitched, sonorous dragon cry!
The cry, like rolling thunder, echoed through the skies above Black Stone Territory.
It slowly raised its magnificent head, surveying a world that was both familiar and strange.
It could feel the Power of the Giant Dragon surging like a mighty river within its body.
’So this is the Power of the Domain Level!’
Excitedly, Lightning gave its Dragon Wings a flap.
HUMMM!
With its body as the center, a space several hundred meters in every direction was instantly enveloped by a violent, destructive expanse of azure lightning!
