Chapter 486: Dragon King
In the depths of the sea of the True Dragon Realm, a black palace trembled, releasing heart palpitating ripples at every second. The ripples resembled a black bubble, one that kept releasing into the sea, forming a region of black water that devoured all light. Any demon that entered the black water region would instantly be overcome by fear. Their instincts will tell them to leave immediately, lest they perish forever in the dark depths.
However, if any demon overcame the instinctual fear, they would realize that this was a treasure land for comprehending the Law of Destruction and the concepts related to it. In fact, several demons of all shapes and sizes had already stationed themselves in the black water region. The only reason they weren’t more was because most of them had been summoned to fight in the war.
“Just staying here for a few decades allowed me to comprehend more concepts than the previous thousands of years outside,” a giant blue-scaled dragon said with a sigh. He was Canglong, the blue dragon whose avatar died under Bao Ling’s sword in the Broken Primordial World.
Originally, his strength had decreased because he created an avatar, but as long as the avatar merged back with him, he would immediately return to his peak strength. Because of that fall, it had taken thousands of years to return to the Demon King Realm from the Demon Lord Realm.
“Thankfully, I made a breakthrough and mastered the Law of Destruction. Even if I don’t specialize in it, it will be useful for me in the future,” Canglong said. “Now that I mastered the Law of Destruction, my comprehension has eclipsed my previous peak. As long as I fully recover, my power will exceed my past self.”
The blue dragon’s gaze turned toward the black palace in the center of the black water region. “I gained so much from staying a hundred kilometers away from Donghai Longzi’s palace. I wonder what would happen if I went closer?”
Not one to procrastinate, Canglong swam closer. Before mastering the Law of Destruction, he was stuck at a hundred kilometers, but now, his understanding of the worldly law allowed him to offset the negative effects of the ripples. When he was only fifty kilometers away from the black palace, he could no longer swim closer.
“If I go any closer, the ripples will destroy my scales and injure my organs. This is only the side effect of his cultivation,” Canglong said, a little fear lingering in his voice. “No wonder he claimed that he will enter the Demon Emperor Realm soon. It seems that the Dragon Clan will truly have another dragon king soon.”
Although Canglong couldn’t swim any deeper, he was satisfied. Just staying fifty kilometers away brought him significant benefits. Not only could he sense the Law of Destruction, but he could also sense the laws of the five elements, and light and darkness intermingling with the Law of Destruction.
