I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

Red Dragon didn't believe the other party was just passing by; he simply thought the other party was bragging.

Who would be so kind as to come to this remote mountain forest for no reason?

But it couldn't say anything, since for the dragon race, the strong are respected. Since the other party had proven its strength, it was necessary to have a proper talk.

"Cultivator... what exactly do you want?"

Ji Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his white clothes fluttering, his expression calm and serene like a still well.

"I have a disciple who is in the form of a dragon egg. He has been listening to the teachings for three years but has not yet hatched. Since you are a dragon, you should know the method of hatching."

He paused, his gaze calmly sweeping over the red dragon's massive body, and then said:

"Furthermore, I see that your physique is still good, and your spiritual awareness has been awakened. You have been trapped in this mountain range for a thousand years without making any progress. Why not join my sect and become a guardian spirit beast? After a hundred years, you may be able to transcend."

Red Dragon paused for a moment, then realized he hadn't misheard.

Why should I, a dragon, serve as a "guardian beast" for a mere human?

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

The red dragon opened its massive jaws and let out a low, chilling laugh.

The red dragon raised its head, two eerie flames igniting in its golden-red vertical pupils. "Human, you think you can ride on the heads of dragons just because you won one move?"

Its body began to glow.

One after another, the dark red scales lit up, clearly indicating that a battle was about to begin.

The red dragon's voice grew increasingly loud, "I have lived for two thousand years. I have witnessed the rise and fall of human empires, the decline and resurgence of the elven court, and the three major invasions and defeats of the demon race. And you, a mortal whose lifespan is no more than a hundred years—dare to make me your spirit beast?! You dare to talk to me about 'transcendence'?!"

Ji Tian did not answer.

He simply raised his right hand slightly, fingers spread, palm facing down.

The Emperor's Banner, which had just been retrieved, was once again planted in the rock beside him. The banner moved automatically and fluttered in the wind even without any wind.

The red dragon moved.

It was neither a dive nor a swooping attack.

It took only one step forward, and an invisible pressure erupted from it, like stars exploding on earth, instantly evaporating the clouds within a radius of dozens of miles.

The moonlight disappeared.

No.

That was because the dragon's might was too great, and the dark clouds it summoned covered the moonlight!

Ji Tian's robes clung to his body in the gale, but his back remained straight, like an ancient sword stuck between heaven and earth, unmoved by the raging storm.

Not only that, he also managed to withstand the portion of the pressure that Lilith should have been under.

He said with disappointment, "Dragon's Might? Nothing special."

The red dragon's pupils constricted sharply, and he shouted coldly, "You insolent brat, you have no sense of right and wrong!"

The next moment, it opened its mouth and began chanting the magic engraved in the blood of the dragon race.

Ancient dragon language flowed from its throat, each syllable like a war song from the primordial wilderness.

The syllables solidified into tangible runes in the air—golden, crimson, and dark purple—swirling, intertwining, and merging around its body.

Ji Tian's brows finally twitched slightly.

"Dragon Language Magic"

He recognized the move.

This is the dragon race's true trump card besides their powerful physical body; it is an ancient spell engraved in their bloodline, as long-lasting as heaven and earth.

This is widely known in the human kingdom and is common knowledge in fairy tales.

When the red dragon sang the seventh syllable, the sky changed.

The dense dark clouds dispersed, and a huge crack tore open the sky from the center, with dark red light flowing through it, like another layer of sky revealed after the curtain of heaven was torn apart.

That sky doesn't belong to the human world; it's the domain of the dragons, a kingdom of fire and lava.

A meteorite peeked out from the crack.

No, it's not a meteorite.

It's Dragon Star!

The legendary forbidden spell of the Dragon Clan—summoning a falling star with almost no wind-up, turning the earth into scorched earth.

The star was the size of a mountain, burning with white flames, and slowly fell from the heavens.

Its descent was not fast, but the oppressive feeling caused all living things within a hundred miles to kneel on the ground, trembling in fear.

Weaker monsters were even scared to death on the spot!

Lilith stood some distance away, her face deathly pale, her legs weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

The scarred demon's expression changed as well. He whispered to his adjutant, "I've lost the ability to move; I can't escape! Take Miss Lily and run, as far as you can!"

Just as the adjutant was about to lead the noble lady away, he discovered that he and the others had been imprisoned.

No, it's not just confinement, it's protection.

Golden rays shot out from the white-robed man's palm, transforming into a large, lustrous golden bell about a foot away from them.

As soon as the bell took shape, dense and mysterious runes appeared on its surface, and it slowly rotated.

Ji Tian looked up at the star that was getting closer and closer. His robes were scorched by the heat wave, and his hair was slightly curled in the high temperature.

His face did not show the fear that the red dragon had expected; instead, his gaze seemed to be looking at an object that was reasonably pleasing to the eye.

He murmured, "The power of stars? That's somewhat interesting."

Then he moved.

He didn't retreat or dodge; he simply walked forward.

One step, two steps, three steps.

He treads on the void as if walking on flat ground, each step he takes on invisible steps, rising higher and higher.

His white robes fluttered in the flames, his black hair billowed in the heat, and his silhouette appeared as small as dust against the backdrop of the enormous stars.

But that composure, that calmness, gave all those who looked up to it a misconception—

It wasn't that he was walking towards the stars, but rather that the stars were falling towards him.

The white figure was reflected in the red dragon's pupils, and for the first time, it felt an indescribable emotion.

That's...puzzling.

What gives this human being the right to do this?

Ji Tian stopped when he reached a height level with the stars.

He stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, and gently clenched it toward the burning star.

"town."

Just one word.

The moment the words were written, the world changed color.

An invisible force erupted from his palm, as if an invisible giant hand reached out from the void and grasped the star.

The stars stopped falling.

It hung in mid-air, trembling, the flames on its surface leaping wildly, yet unable to break free from that invisible hand.

Red Dragon's pupils contracted violently.

"impossible--!"
