Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Tian returned to the Divine Capital and was not disappointed that his plan had failed.

As soon as he landed, the Monarch welcomed him and invited Ye Tian to enjoy the delicacies.

The scene in the sky just now, even though he was on the ground and the two of them were very far apart, the violent power surging there still gave him a huge impact.

This made the Monarch not dare to underestimate Ye Tian and he understood his grandfather’s good intentions.

If there was such a powerful person as the Imperial Preceptor, there was no need to worry about the Red Leaf Empire not being able to dominate this world.

In the following days, Ye Tian stayed in the Divine Capital. He stayed in the courtyard where he and Annie lived.

During this period, he flipped through many documents sent by the Monarch. These were all requested by him. He wanted to find out if there were any powerful mages in this world.

Ye Tian wanted to enter a life-and-death situation through the challenge and achieve a breakthrough under such circumstances.

Unfortunately, after searching through all the information, he realized that the three strongest mages were only at the Advanced Mage level. They were not even Great Mages.

Logically speaking, this should not be the case. However, Ye Tian knew very well that everything might be related to him.

The magical elements in the Lower Realm were fixed at a certain amount.

He was already a Great Magister now. Although some of it was related to him adding points, he already occupied most of the magical elements.

This also made it difficult for others to have enough strength to last until they broke through.

On this day, the Monarch came to Ye Tian’s house to visit after settling some matters.

The two of them had just sat down when they suddenly raised their heads in unison and looked at the slowly spinning vortex that was covered in dark clouds.

The vortex was even more chaotic than the Upper Realm that Ye Tian had seen before. It was even more than a hundred meters in diameter. The dark cave emitted a majestic magical aura mixed with the smell of darkness.

Ye Tian stood up warily.

Not long after, a claw covered in pitch-black scales poked out from inside.

It was an unknown creature!

Ye Tian’s gaze narrowed as he looked at the two claws, followed by the huge head and then the body.

After half a minute, the creature that crawled out of the vortex finally showed its complete form. It was a black Western dragon with red eyes and a pair of huge wings.

“Imperial Preceptor, what, what kind of creature is this?”

The Monarch standing at the side felt his legs go weak. If not for the support of the table, he would have collapsed to the ground.

“A dragon.”

According to his understanding of his previous life, Ye Tian did not know how to describe this creature.

Just as the two of them were conversing, the black dragon in the sky flapped its wings and swooped down. The wind howled, and a rich dark power surged over.

On the rebuilt city wall of the Divine Capital, the soldiers were already panicking. However, under the order of their commander, they mustered their courage and changed the direction of the God-Exterminating Crossbow, aiming the arrowhead at the black dragon.

“Don’t be rash. No one is to launch without my orders!”

The officer guarding the city shouted an order. The black dragon looked huge and fierce, but he was not prepared to attack until he expressed his malice.

When it was about 500 meters away from the city wall, the black dragon suddenly opened its mouth wide. The terrifying suction directly formed a vortex.

Everyone saw this scene. The officer’s eyes widened. When he saw the flames appear in the black dragon’s mouth, he said without any hesitation,

“Fire!”

The God-Exterminating Crossbows made a “bang” sound. It was the trembling of the string that had been pulled in.

The arrowhead that flickered with a cold light pierced through the wind and stabbed straight at the black dragon.

At this moment, the black dragon spat out flames from its mouth. Wherever it passed, the ground was charred black, and the soil surged. No human could dodge in time and directly turned into dust.

Facing the incoming arrows, a trace of contempt flashed in the Black Dragon’s huge eyes. It quickly condensed a barrier in front of it.

However, those arrows seemed to carry some kind of magic power as they pierced through the barrier and pierced the black dragon’s wings and body. It roared in pain.

“How dare you hurt me? All of you deserve to die! You lowly food.”

The black dragon immediately went crazy and spoke in human language. The flames in its mouth paused for a moment before it shot out an even larger pillar of fire.

The flames landed on the newly built city wall of the Divine Capital and easily tore open a hole. The soldiers on the city wall quickly melted in the flames and did not even have the time to roar.

The flaws of the God-Exterminating Crossbows, which were clearly extremely destructive, were exposed at this moment. After one round of firing, if they did not destroy the enemy, it was often very difficult for them to last until the second round.

After all, the huge arrows and string required five or six people to work together to complete the assembly.

“Imperial Preceptor, quickly save them.”

Seeing his Red Leaf Empire melt like snow under the black dragon’s breath, the Monarch was at a loss and asked for help.

Looking at the dead people, Ye Tian felt a little calm. After a long period of seclusion and endless life, he had a sense of indifference towards the lives of others.

Therefore, his first reaction when facing the Black Dragon was actually to leave.

Ye Tian did not want to save anyone as he felt that his life was more important.

But another thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Wasn’t this the target that could force him to complete the life-and-death transformation?

Ye Tian vaguely felt that he had reached the opportunity to head to the Upper Realm, but he was only a little bit away.

Sweeping a glance at the Monarch, Ye Tian did not speak but his figure quickly soared into the air, blocking the path that the black dragon had to pass through.

“Heh, I didn’t expect there to be such a powerful human in this world. It just so happens to be my food.”

The black dragon was stunned for a moment when it saw Ye Tian before a human-like cruel smile appeared on its face.

Ye Tian’s expression was unsightly as he raised his hands. Dark clouds gathered in the sky and bolts of lightning struck the black dragon.

However, the lightning seemed to be tickling the black dragon. It was completely fine.

“What an ignorant fellow. Don’t you know that we dragons are immune to most magic?”

The black dragon’s mocking voice echoed in the capital, making everyone feel despair. Even the legendary Mage Ye Tian could not do anything to it.

“If magic doesn’t work, then I’ll have to use brute force. Coincidentally, I still have a few decades of accumulated points that are unused. Add them all to my physique!”

Ye Tian frowned and immediately made a decision. As he added points, his body transformed and he seemed to have enlarged like a small giant.

Immediately after, Ye Tian charged forward and landed on the broken city wall after dodging the black dragon’s breath. He found a God-Exterminating Arrow.

The boundless black dragon enveloped Ye Tian who looked up at it.

At that moment, Ye Tian did not dodge. Instead, he kicked his legs and charged towards the black dragon.

“Are you courting death?”

The black dragon couldn’t believe it.
