Chapter 700: Chapter 497: World Dragon

Li Yi had already anticipated danger when he picked the Golden Apple. After all, such a treasure couldn’t be taken so easily. What he hadn’t expected was how terrifying the danger would be. When that sky-covering claw descended, his soul was frantically warning him.

This strike was enough to take his life. Even with his Divine Bloodline and wearing Jiao Long Armor, he couldn’t withstand it.

The terrifying power transmitted through the air, pressed his legs down and bent his body as if he were carrying a mountain. Even with a force of ten thousand pounds, he couldn’t move this mountain.

"Does this world have such powerful beings?" Li Yi’s face changed drastically, but there was no time to think about anything else at this moment.

Picking eight Golden Apples was the limit.

If he tried for more, there wouldn’t be enough time to escape with spells. No matter how good the items were, he needed to stay alive to use them.

"Cloud Riding."

In an instant, Li Yi activated his Daoist Skill, mana surged, and clouds surrounded him. His figure immediately concealed within them, disappearing.

Then.

The scaled claw fell with a thunderous crash.

The earth cracked, mountains shook, and roars echoed continuously. This secret realm seemed to have faced doomsday, as though everything would be destroyed by this strike. Such a grand display of power was terrifying, and few things could survive such an attack. Even someone like Li Yi at the Five Qi Realm, could only rely on Daoist Skills to protect himself.

The surrounding clouds dispersed at this moment. Yet, simultaneously, another cloud gathered, transforming into a crimson auspicious cloud that swiftly moved among the fractured mountains. As the broken mountains fell, the cloud dispersed and gathered again to form an auspicious cloud to escape.

Between gathering and dispersing, the Cloud Ascension Technique and Cloud Riding Technique alternated, allowing Li Yi to escape danger repeatedly at the fastest speed.

Within just a few seconds, Li Yi had already fled to safety, leaving the most dangerous zone.

"Truly dangerous, I almost lost my life."

An auspicious cloud landed on a mountain in the distance, revealing Li Yi’s figure. He instinctively wiped his forehead, breaking out in a cold sweat.

What kind of creature was that, to be so terrifying?

Yet, the enormous commotion from afar continued, with countless mountains disintegrating. The previous Gem Valley appeared as though it had undergone tectonic movement, lifted into the sky by a massive force. Numerous treasures fell and scattered among the shattered valley.

The culprit behind all this was actually a wing.

Meanwhile, Li Yi saw the mountain where the Golden Apple Tree had been planted had transformed into a gigantic head without him realizing. That head lifted, then the rocks split open, revealing a massive black vertical pupil.

It was a dragon’s head.

But not a Jiao Long; instead, it was a dragon from Western mythology.

Yet, this dragon’s size was overly immense, with its body like a mountain range, wings like a canyon. When the enormous claw lifted, it could cover a part of the sky. Just rising nearly destroyed everything in the secret realm, while that Golden Apple Tree parasitized on the dragon’s head at this moment.

Roots as dense as veins spread across the dragon’s body, relentlessly absorbing the dragon’s essence. Some thick veins seemed to nurture special life, with heartbeats pulsating inside.

"This dragon has actually been parasitized by an apple tree." Li Yi found it hard to believe.

Clearly, the Golden Apple Tree was only a few meters tall, yet its vein-like roots formed a scarlet web, capturing the dragon and parasitizing various parts of its body. A single tug would bring immense pain to the dragon.

Earlier, his act of picking eight Golden Apples provoked the Tree Spirit Elder’s ire, causing it to shake its body and painfully awaken the slumbering dragon.

But he really couldn’t imagine who would be so cruel to plant the Golden Apple Tree on such a massive dragon.

Roar!

However, the awakened dragon roared. The immense sound wave echoed, instantly turning stones into dust, obliterating everything in the valley.

In its painful roar, the dragon lifted its head. Then, the sky seemed ignited, releasing a shocking heat wave. Under this wave, sand particles melted, and as they cooled, they formed new gemstones.

This was also the origin of Gem Valley.

Since the valley’s terrain was the lowest, magma would flow to the lowest point.

A glow emerged from the dragon’s throat, dazzling with brilliance. It wanted to spew flame, yet its mouth couldn’t open because it was covered with countless red veins. These veins were the Golden Apple Tree’s roots, sewing shut its mouth like needlework, not only the dragon’s mouth but also entangled its wings, binding it firmly within the secret realm.

Flames splashed from the gaps of the dragon’s mouth; the light was as brilliant as gold, blazing hot and masculine, resembling the sun spilling its scorching edge.
