Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 253 The Battle of Emperors! Dark Golden Dragon Breath, Styx Sky Curtain!

When that aloof and intellectual voice entered his ears, even Lu Ran, who had been fully prepared, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned!
Is the Black Dragon Emperor female?

Uh... it seems the original work didn't specify its gender.

At this moment, he really wanted to wake Asha's back and ask her something.

Of course, Asha's mother is unlikely to know this.

A mother dragon dwelling in the Tyrant Mountains, hiss~
Sensing the intense aura of death emanating from the claws, the Black Dragon Emperor Austin roared:

"Even if you are an emperor of the dead, you must not offend me!"

The dragon roared, and the entire Tyrant Mountain Range trembled!
Within the mountains, the few monarch-level demons stood rooted to the spot, their massive bodies trembling, too afraid to move!
In the eyes of the Black Dragon Emperor, Lu Ran, a human with the power of a necromancer emperor, coming here was an invasion of her territory.

What was clearly an imposing and intimidating sound had a completely different feel to Lu Ran.

After hearing a mature, older woman's voice so often, I started to think that Heilong was just being coquettish!
Yes, she's being coquettish.

It's as if she's saying: Ugh~ Hurry up and get out of their territory!
This thought flashed through Lu Ran's mind, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

But it was only for a moment!
In a battle between emperors, even the slightest distraction can lead to a disadvantage.

Since Lu Ran was already there, he figured he should leave something behind, no matter if the black dragon was male or female.

Staring at the Black Dragon Emperor's rugged and towering body, and the dragon scales that shimmered with a black luster, Lu Ran's eyes lit up!
Today, let's peel off a few dragon scales!

Lu Ran's aura surged again, rising steadily!
The Black Dragon Emperor's dragon eyes narrowed sharply. She had witnessed firsthand how this human before her had transformed from a weak ant into an emperor!

In fact, the power he exuded was even slightly greater than hers.

How can this be? !
In a mere exchange of glances, both sides attacked simultaneously!
At the summit of Tyrant Mountain, an immense and awe-inspiring dragon's might resounded through the sky, while what countered it was an immaculate death aura that seemed to descend from the underworld!
The moment the two came into contact, the violent energy stirred up a chaotic energy storm!

The storm raged, affecting most of the Tyrant Mountain Range. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, anyone below the monarch level who was even slightly touched by the storm would die instantly!

Even their bodies couldn't be preserved; they were reduced to ashes in this powerful energy storm.

"Boom!!!"

A violent explosion echoed across the sky, and two blinding beams of black light collided, shattering and collapsing the surrounding space.

Even the Tyrant Mountain, which had stood for thousands of years, was largely wiped out in the aftermath of the battle!
Amidst the deafening roar, Lu Ran's cold snort rang out:

"I've heard that your dragon scales are immune to most elemental magic, and even forbidden spellcasters would probably have a hard time dealing with you."

"But I am the Emperor of the Dead, and your dragon scales hold no special meaning for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ran's figure flashed in the sky. He waved his arms, and a dense and pure mass of death energy condensed, which in the next moment transformed into a pair of pitch-black and eerie claws!

Its claws are strange and grotesque, shrouded in deathly aura. Just by summoning them, the sky darkens and the world changes color!

Lu Ran clenched her fist, and the two sharp claws that the Black Dragon Emperor had extended to tear at her dragon scales!

In the blink of an eye, the dragon scales, which were so sturdy that even super-level elemental magic could not damage them in the slightest, were scratched by Lu Ran's sharp claws!

The moment the mark appeared, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky!
It turned out that the deathly aura from those strange and sharp claws was seeping through the dragon scales and corroding the Black Dragon Emperor's body!
Visibly large blood holes were visible in the broken dragon scales!
The dragon's body was stained with blood, and the blood stained the sky!
"Oh? You were already injured." Lu Ran thought for a moment, realizing he hadn't considered this before.

It turned out that the Black Dragon Emperor, who dwells in the Tyrant Mountains, was injured at the moment; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to injure the Black Dragon so easily in a single exchange. Lu Ran had estimated that it would have taken at least a few more moves.

Lu Ran, who had originally wanted to fight a true battle between emperors, suddenly lost interest!
Black Dragon is injured, so even if he wins, it will be meaningless.

Even if he were to slay the dragon today, it would only be 'taking advantage of someone's misfortune' to him.

Lu Ran decisively stopped, thinking of cutting his losses in time.

But the Black Dragon Emperor had been enraged and was now in a bloodthirsty rage.

"Roar!!!"

The Black Dragon Emperor flapped his fleshy wings and soared into the sky!
Suddenly, her dragon belly swelled up, and violent destructive energy gathered in her dragon's bloody mouth!
The next second, a dazzling golden dragon breath, filled with the destructive power to destroy everything, spewed out!

The strongest skill of the dragon race, the ultimate move of the Black Dragon Emperor!
Lu Ran frowned. He had never personally come into contact with the world-renowned dragon breath, so he was still somewhat wary at this moment!
Of course, it was merely a matter of apprehension!

Now that he has become an emperor, the power he uses is the genuine power of an emperor!
The magic within his entire body had long since undergone a transformation and sublimation.

At this moment, Lu Ran remained unmoved as he faced the dark golden dragon breath spewing forth.

A crimson gust of wind rose up, blocking his way like a curtain in the sky.

That alone is not enough!

Within Lu Ran's body, a massive amount of water-based magical energy was frantically mobilized and drawn out, and in an instant, another extremely dense, deep black Styx River curtain was erected!
The dark golden dragon breath destroyed everything, and the blood-red gale only blocked it for a few seconds before shattering into countless fragments of death energy that flew out.

Even so, it withstood most of the dragon's breath's power.

The remaining dragon breath still possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary forbidden magic.

But miraculously, it was easily blocked by the deep black Styx River canopy surrounding Lu Ran!

"As expected of the Breath of a Dragon! It truly lives up to its name!" Lu Ran exclaimed.

If it weren't for the protection of the Styx River, even he might have been injured by this devastating dragon's breath.

The dragon's breath failed to harm Lu Ran in the slightest. This time, the black dragon's eyes stared intently at Lu Ran, trying to see through him!

"Who are you? Where do you come from?"

The black dragon's mature and powerful voice resonated in Lu Ran's heart.

Seeing that the black dragon also wisely withdrew, Lu Ran stopped retaliating and calmly said:

"Have you ever heard of the nine provinces of China?"

Upon hearing this, the black dragon seemed to realize something, and its dragon eyes suddenly narrowed: "It's actually the Nine Provinces Continent?"

“I remember now, you also have the aura of a dragon, but you are a dragon that is different from me.”

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, and in an instant, he thought of the Azure Dragon!
The Azure Dragon and the Black Dragon Emperor are respectively an Eastern divine dragon and a Western giant dragon, and their dragon bodies are completely different.

In the original work, the Azure Dragon totem is an old friend of the Ancient King and can be summoned by the Sacred Spring of Earth.
