Chapter 216
“Ah—yes!” Elder Jiao froze for a moment, confused but instinctively pulled out a formation talisman and immediately activated the Celestial Masters’ Hall’s Mountain Protection Array.
In the next instant, white light surged across the entire hall. Countless rays of formation energy shot into the sky, weaving together into layers upon layers of intricate arrays that enclosed both the Celestial Masters’ Hall and the great city below.
The moment the formation took shape, thunder roared. Countless bolts of lightning poured down from the heavens like a waterfall of pure electricity, hammering the protective barrier in relentless waves. Yet every strike was blocked; the barrier held firm. Blinding white light filled the sky, illuminating the Celestial Masters’ Hall as bright as day.
The sect leaders collectively gasped. With lightning on such a scale, if the formation hadn’t been activated in time, the disciples below would’ve suffered catastrophic losses. Just who—or what—had the power to summon so many heavenly bolts at once?!
By now, the entire sky was shrouded in thick, churning storm clouds. The thunder stopped—but the wind grew violent, carrying with it a sense of enormous movement within the clouds. Something vast was shifting up there, its silhouette dimly visible. Then—
A thunderous roar split the heavens. A colossal shadow tore through the clouds, breaking them apart as it emerged. Its body was dark gold, vast and coiling, exuding an overwhelming aura of power that seemed to crush the very air.
Everyone looked up, eyes wide with disbelief.
That shape… could it be—
“A dragon!”
