I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 859 The Dead Terrifying Dragon

This light is like the warm sun in spring, carrying a warm and healing power, yet containing an irresistible purifying meaning.

The light gradually spread to all parts of the red dragon's body.

Wherever it passed, the red dragon's originally dark red scales gradually became dull and lifeless, as if its life force had been drained away, making it appear illusory.

Under the influence of this silvery light, the red dragon's body began to become ethereal, as if it had turned into a phantom made of smoke.

The power was gradually stripped away, bit by bit, like fine sand slipping through your fingers.

The power that was stripped away, after Li Si expelled the evil and ominous aura, drifted around in the spiritual space, but was quickly absorbed by Li Si's spiritual power and turned into his own.

As time went by, the red dragon's struggles grew weaker and weaker, and its illusory body became increasingly faint.

The red dragon's body became increasingly ethereal, and at the same time, it continued to shrink.

Although he exuded intense resentment, no matter how much Brun struggled, he did not cause any trouble for Li Si.

The Dragon Soul Curse is troublesome for those who don't know dragon language magic, but for Li Si, who understands its origins, finding the right remedy is not difficult.

However, Li Si was not in a hurry to eliminate the red dragon curse directly.

While he was wearing down the Red Dragon Curse, he was also following the method given by the person who called himself Alvis, meticulously digesting the power extracted from the Red Dragon Curse.

Before using the method provided by Alvis, Li Si had already studied it carefully.

Although he didn't fully understand the underlying principles, Li Si knew that this method, at worst, wouldn't cause him any harm.

Therefore, he was able to use this method with peace of mind.

However, Li Si soon felt a sense of comfort on his soul.

It's like the exhilarating feeling of holding an ice-cold watermelon on a hot summer day and scooping it out with a spoon.

It felt as if my soul had become clear and transparent; this feeling was captivating.

However, Li Si quickly regained his senses.

Ignoring the roar of the red dragon's curse in his mind, Li Si slowly digested the ever-increasing soul power.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Red Dragon Curse lurks in his mind; the power it contains is quite formidable.

After all, this Dragon Soul Curse originated from a powerful legendary red dragon.

Furthermore, when the Dragon Soul Curse was on Rune, it absorbed a significant amount of Rune's power.

These powers all became nourishment for the Dragon Soul Curse.

Now, these powers have instead become nourishment for Li Si's powerful soul.
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It's worth noting that this Dragon Soul Curse was actually "given" to him by Rune.

Therefore, Rune gave all his remaining power to Li Si.

Rune did all this to get this troublesome dragon soul curse to entangle Li Si, causing him trouble and even putting him in a desperate situation.

However, unexpectedly, this Dragon Soul Curse has now become an aid for Li Si to improve his strength.

Who could have predicted this change?
If Rune knew, he'd probably jump out of his coffin in anger!

Shaking his head, Li Si focused all his attention on digesting the Dragon Soul Curse.

Three days later,

Li Si walked out of the magic workshop, looking refreshed and invigorated.

Although Li Si did not rest during these three days, but instead focused all his attention on digesting the Dragon Soul Curse, he did not feel tired at all.

The dragon soul curse deep in his mind had been completely digested by Li Si.

In addition to eliminating this worry, Li Si's soul was also greatly enhanced.

[Specialty: Blessing of the Red Dragon Alvarez]: Originating from the resentment and hatred of the Red Dragon Alvarez, it has now become your power! It elevates your soul's essence and imbues your soul with some dragon-like characteristics.]
After digesting the Dragon Soul Curse, Li Si was able to feel that the foundation of his soul had become much stronger.

After some exploration, Li Si gained some understanding of the characteristics of this being whose soul possessed the qualities of a dragon.

This doesn't mean his soul transformed into a dragon, but it certainly became a bit more powerful.

Moreover, when using dragon language magic, Li Si felt much more relaxed, and the power was also greater.

The affinity for the fire element has also increased slightly.

But the increase was far too slight.

After all, Li Si has already become a legendary mage, and the affinity for fire elements brought by the Red Dragon Soul is not very significant for him now.

After absorbing the Dragon Soul Curse, Li Si did not delay and immediately chose to end his seclusion.

The dragon that appeared in the magic workshop and claimed to be Alvis aroused Li Si's great curiosity.

This Alvis seems to be on par with Professor Stephens, which is quite surprising about this being on Metal Dragon Island.

If that's the case, then Metal Dragon Island's significance becomes even more extraordinary.

It's important to understand that in the Gaia main world, such beings can almost determine many things.

Metal Dragon Island is located in the Pearl Sea, very close to both Kane's Sky City and Dan'erlu Port.

Such lawful forces are precisely the most suitable allies for Li Si.

Without hesitation, Li Si headed deeper into Dragon Island, following the location left by Alvis.

Not far from the dragon's lair of the golden dragon Joachim, a great rift valley suddenly appeared before them.

This rift valley is as if the earth was torn apart by a tremendous force. It is long, narrow and deep, like a sleeping giant python lurking in the mountains, extremely hidden.

If it weren't for Alvis's guidance, Li Si would probably have had a hard time discovering this mysterious place hidden among the mountains and vegetation.

At the entrance to this rift valley, there is barely enough room for a massive dragon to pass through.

The deep canyon seemed like a gateway to another world, exuding a mysterious and obscure aura.

Li Si stood in front of the entrance, paused for a moment, and then slowly stepped inside.

Upon entering the rift valley, a damp and decaying smell hit us, mixed with a faint fragrance of earth and the scent of unknown flowers and plants.

The ground beneath our feet was covered with moss and gravel, and the towering cliffs on both sides of the rift valley resembled two enormous black walls that tightly enclosed the entire rift valley.

As Li Si continued to venture deeper, the rift valley became increasingly narrow.

The passage, which was originally wide enough for a dragon to pass through, gradually became only wide enough for one person to move forward.

He didn't use any magic, but simply moved forward.

Thick vines climbed all over the surrounding mountain walls.

These vines, like giant green pythons, tightly coiled around the mountainside, as if trying to devour the entire rift valley. They hung down from above, intertwining densely, completely blocking out the already sparse sunlight from above.

At this moment, the entire rift valley was shrouded in darkness, with only a few faint rays of light occasionally filtering through the gaps in the vines, barely illuminating the path ahead.

Li Si continued walking forward along this deep canyon.

With each step, you can hear your footsteps echoing through the ravine, as if they are a call from another world, silent and oppressive.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Si felt as if he were going deep into the earth.

The surrounding environment became increasingly unfamiliar and dark.

The familiar mountains and vegetation have vanished without a trace, replaced by an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

Moreover, the deeper he went, the more Li Si could clearly feel a faint sense of oppressive power.

This oppressive aura, almost tangible, permeated the air, giving him an unprecedented sense of pressure, as if an invisible force was entrenched in the canyon.

This aura also gave Li Si an extremely ancient feel.

It was a sense of vicissitude that had been accumulated over countless years, as if this rift valley had witnessed every moment of Dragon Island from its birth to the present day.

For a moment, Li Si seemed to hear the whispers of time.

"come on!"

Just then, a voice appeared in Li Si's ears again, echoing in the canyon.

Li Si could recognize that it was the voice of that person, Alvis.

But for some reason, Li Si felt that Alvis's voice seemed to carry a hint of melancholy.

Li Si did not stop, but continued to move forward.

Soon, he arrived at the deepest part of the canyon.

After walking several dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up before Li Si.

At the deepest part of the canyon, a huge cave suddenly appears before your eyes.

In the middle of this cave, a naturally formed, enormous plaza is like a lost pearl, quietly nestled within.

The square was flatter than anyone could imagine, and wide enough to accommodate thousands of troops. The ground was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the shadowy light and shadows around it, as if it held countless untold stories.

Around the plaza and above the cave, dense stalagmites resemble strange plants that have stubbornly grown out of the rock face.

They come in countless shapes and forms; some resemble sharp swords piercing the sky, exuding an unstoppable aura; others resemble giant, winding pythons, radiating a mysterious and dangerous aura.
These stalagmites surround the central square like loyal guardians protecting a sacred territory, filling the entire space with a solemn and awe-inspiring atmosphere that inspires reverence.

And the source of this atmosphere is the center of the square.

There, lying quietly, was the skeleton of a giant dragon, as large as a small mountain.

The skeleton was larger than imagined; each bone looked as if it were carved from the finest white jade, pure white, smooth, and lustrous.

Bathed in a faint glow, it exudes a sacred radiance, as if it were a deity that has traveled from ancient times, carrying endless majesty and mystery.

Upon closer inspection, every detail of this dragon skeleton exudes an air of mystery.

That enormous skull, with its deep and unfathomable eye sockets, seemed to hold some secret, and just one glance was enough to make you feel as if your soul was being sucked in.

Its teeth are sharp and pointed, and even after countless years, they still exude a chilling aura.

The thick vertebrae are tightly connected, like the skeleton of a winding dragon. Although they are no longer covered by flesh and blood, they still exude a kind of toughness and strength.

Each vertebra seemed like a flawless work of art, captivating Li Si.

Although the massive dragon wing skeleton is no longer covered with flesh and scales, one can still imagine its majestic figure soaring through the sky in its heyday.
Even though only bones remain, the dragon skeleton gives the impression that it is still alive.

It seems that in some unexpected moment, it will suddenly open its deep eyes, shake off the dust, and take off again, soaring high in the sky.

Looking at the giant dragon skeleton before him, Li Si felt a sense of awe.

Li Si was all too familiar with the aura emanating from this skeleton.

This is clearly the aura of a god!
So, is this the remains of a deity?

Is this Javier?
wrong!

Li Si shook his head slightly.

He was studying the art of ascending to godhood and knew very well that so-called gods had broken through the shackles of flesh and blood, and their bodies were now completely composed of divine power.

If gods die, their divine bodies cannot be preserved.

So what exactly is this giant dragon skeleton before us?
"What, seeing my appearance, you don't quite believe me?"

Alvis's voice appeared, echoing long and deep in the hollow.

"Lord Alvis, I really don't know."

Li Si nodded and flew directly to the central square, arriving at a location about 100 meters away from the dragon's remains.

Even from a distance, Li Si, relying solely on his keen senses, could vaguely perceive the unparalleled power of the dragon in its lifetime from the aura emanating from its skeleton.

It was a powerful force that seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth and dominating all things. Even now, with only bare bones remaining, it still possessed a majesty that made the surrounding space freeze.

It was like a silent yet inviolable giant mountain, standing in front of Li Si.

Even though he had already achieved legendary status, Li Si still felt insignificant in the face of such an existence.

As he continued to close the distance to the dragon's skeleton, the originally obscure but powerful aura began to become clearer and sharper.

At this moment, Li Si truly felt a sharp aura emanating from the dragon skeleton.

This aura is somewhat similar to the sharp sword energy emanating from the legendary sword saint, yet it is purer and more terrifying.

That sharp intent, like countless invisible blades, darted through the air, cutting through everything around it.

With each breath, Li Si could feel that sharp breath going straight into his lungs through his nasal cavity, as if it were going to tear his body apart from the inside.

At this moment, Li Si felt like a small boat sailing in a raging storm, which could be torn to shreds at any moment by this sharp aura.

Li Si felt as if the dragon skeleton could awaken from its slumber at any moment and stand once more on this plaza.

He could even imagine that once the dragon truly stood up, its enormous body would blot out the sky, and its waving claws, carrying earth-shattering power, would fiercely grab at him.

"Although he still retains some consciousness, he is no different from being dead."

Ialvis's voice rang out again:
"I invited you here, Li Si, because I want your help."
