Evolving by devouring from a young dragon

Alduin dodged to the side, the ice spear grazing the dragon's wing, but a tear was still ripped in the huge wing membrane.

Dark golden dragon blood splattered out.

The ice spear struck the stone wall behind it, instantly scattering a cloud of icy mist. The stone wall froze and cracked in an instant, with a large section of the wall collapsing.

But soon, thanks to Alduin's powerful self-healing ability, the wound began to heal rapidly and return to normal.

But Leon didn't give him a chance and continued his offensive relentlessly.

The second, the third, and more ice spears shot out in succession, each one incredibly accurate, blocking Alduin's retreat.

Alduin snorted coldly, flicked his dragon tail, and three dark golden dragon scales flew out to meet the ice spear.

With a loud clang, the ice spear shattered, but the scales he had shot out were instantly frozen by the dissipating ice mist and fell to the ground.

Alduin seized the opportunity, bursting out of the icy mist, his dragon claw aimed straight for Leon's face.

Leon raised his left arm, and the icy blue light of the Crystal Rock Emblem condensed into an ice shield in front of him.

The dragon claw slammed into the ice shield, the ice paused for a moment, then shattered, and the dragon claw pierced into Leon's left shoulder.

Dark red blood gushed out, and Leon groaned as his right fist, imbued with the gray-red power of the Rockbreaker emblem, slammed heavily into Alduin's chest.

Auduin was sent flying dozens of meters away, his back slamming heavily against a stone pillar. The pillar snapped, and rubble tumbled down, burying him inside.

He pushed aside the rubble and stood up. The scales on his chest were mostly sunken, and dark golden blood flowed down his abdomen. His breathing was rapid, and each rise and fall was accompanied by excruciating pain.

As expected of the Rock Crack Emblem that wields the power of earthquakes, its power is indeed terrifying.

Meanwhile, Leon wasn't having an easy time either.

His left shoulder was ripped open by the dragon's claws, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. Dark red blood dripped down his arm, staining the ground crimson.

He used the icy power of the Crystal Rock Emblem to freeze the wound, and the bleeding stopped, and the wound slowly healed.

The two men faced off across the ruins, twenty meters apart.

The altar dome had collapsed more than halfway, and wind and snow poured in through the larger cracks, covering the ground with rubble and ice chips.

The stone seat was smashed by falling rocks, and the grayish-white powder mixed with the rubble, making it impossible to distinguish which part was the lion king and which part was stone.

"You can't beat me." Leon stared at Alduin and said calmly, "You have no chance against the legendary artifact of the Third Sister."

Auduin licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, sneered, and said, "Take your life."

With a flap of his dragon wings, Alduin pounced once more.

Leon raised his hand, and the icy blue light of the Crystal Rock Emblem gathered in his palm to form an ice spear, which he then hurled directly out.

Alduin twisted his body and disappeared from the spot, but the ice spear seemed to have eyes, turning its head to chase after him and stabbing him again.

But this time, Alduin rushed straight in front of Leon, catching him off guard, and used his dragon claws to firmly grip Leon's right wrist.

The two instantly engaged in a struggle.

The dragon's claws and the lion's claws intertwined, their scales and mane rubbing together. The earthen yellow light of the Rock Emblem burst forth between the two, and the shockwave sent all the surrounding rocks flying.

Leon's right wrist was squeezed so hard by the dragon's claws that his bones creaked. The Rock Emblem slipped half an inch from between his fingers, only to be frozen in place by the icy blue light of the Crystal Rock Emblem.

Auduin clenched his teeth and unleashed a burst of dragonfire, aiming straight for Leon's face.

Leon jerked his head to the side, the dragonfire burning off half of his mane and leaving a charred patch on his cheek, but he didn't let up at all. His left fist, wrapped in the gray-red power of the Rock Rift Emblem, slammed into Alduin's abdomen.

Auduin grunted, released Leon's right wrist with his dragon claw, and flew backward.

Leon was panting heavily; four deep claw marks on his right wrist revealed the bone.

He switched the Rock Emblem to his left hand, using the icy light of the Crystal Rock Emblem to freeze the wound on his wrist. His orange-yellow pupils were fixed on Alduin, a hint of anxiety already rising in his eyes.

This hybrid black dragon was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined...

"Let's see how long you can hold out."

Leon snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Then you can forget about living either!"

Alduin retrieved the Wilderness Emblem from the spatial rift, black lines spreading from its surface to its right claw.

The power of eternal slumber condensed in his palm, the gravel beneath his feet began to tremble, and the temperature in the air dropped below freezing.

Leon's face instantly turned ugly.

"Are you crazy? If you detonate the Wilderness Emblem here, you won't be able to get out either."

"Who said I was going to detonate it?" Alduin raised the Barrens Emblem above his head, and a black light shone in the dim altar, making the place even more sinister.

The power of slumber spread outwards from him, and grayish-white mist surged from the surface of the emblem, flowing towards Leon like a living thing.

Leon stepped back, and the icy blue light of the Crystal Rock Emblem quickly condensed into a thick ice wall in front of him.

The grayish-white slumbering mist crashed against the ice wall, but instead of being frozen directly like dragon flames and dragon scales, it seeped into the ice layer little by little, like water.

Leon's expression changed drastically.

Ice can only block physical and energy impacts, but the power of eternal slumber is not energy at all, but a domain.

The power of the Crystal Rock Emblem originates from the ice plains, while the Wilderness Emblem is also rooted in the earth. When these two powers collide, the stronger one will directly devour the weaker one.

The complete barren mound emblem is stronger than the complete crystal rock emblem.

Because the Wild Ridge Emblem has never been used, its power remains intact; the Crystal Rock Emblem has been guarded by the Wolf Clan for generations, and its power has been largely depleted.

Leon removed the ice wall and stepped back.

The grayish-white mist missed its target and crashed into the stone wall behind him.

The stone wall was eroded by the power of the long slumber, becoming extremely fragile. Finally, it collapsed and turned into grayish-white powder, which floated directly into the air.

Auduin did not pursue.

He stood there, his hand holding the emblem of desolation trembling slightly.

The power of the long slumber was eroding Leon's barrier, and it was also eroding his body. He felt a moment of mental confusion and extreme drowsiness.

Forcibly activating the desolate mound emblem came at a price far greater than he had anticipated.

Fortunately, he was prepared. A flash of silver light appeared in his soul sea, and his consciousness returned to clarity, his gaze sharpening once more.

But the power of the Moon Soul diminished once again, causing Alduin to frown.

The two faced off again. Leon's barrier had dimmed somewhat and was expected to break soon.

But Auduin wasn't having an easy time either.

All his power would be resisted by the legendary relics, the Rock Emblem, and the Crystal Rock Emblem. Only by using the dormant power of the Desert Emblem could he possibly win, but the price would be extremely high...

Neither of them made a move, and they remained locked in a stalemate.

After an unknown amount of time, Leon broke the silence first.

"A hybrid of Shadow Dragon and Black Dragon, your strength and methods are far greater than I expected."

He paused, then abruptly changed the subject, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "However, I'm waiting for my magic to recover. What... are you waiting for?"

Then, he simply clenched his fists, flashed, and disappeared from the spot.

The next second, he appeared in front of Alduin and threw a punch!
