398: Dragon Might

According to the intelligence Hundred Mechanisms Pavilion obtained from Burial Emperor Star, powerful True Dragons have left countless traces in the world.

Based on the degree of Bloodline similarity, they are categorized from closest to furthest as:

Dragon Species, Dragon Kin, and Dragon Descendants.

Dragon Species refers to the first generation directly descended from True Dragons. It is said they possess immense power and pass it down through special methods from generation to generation, with their numbers remaining constant.

Dragon Species are incredibly powerful, almost at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, and it's impossible for them to appear in Prison Land.

Dragon Kin are beings who have had power shared with them by True Dragons, passed down through generations. While not as strong as Dragon Species, they are far superior to ordinary races.

Dragon Descendants, on the other hand, are the offspring of Dragon Species or Dragon Kin. Although they still possess some Dragon power, the Legacy becomes increasingly diluted with each generation.

On Burial Emperor Star, Dragon Species and Dragon Kin rarely show themselves, with only Dragon Descendants appearing occasionally.

It can be imagined that any Dragon appearing in Prison Land would also be a Dragon Descendant.

Although Wen Xinghai and the others couldn't yet determine the opponent's exact situation, they had a general guess.

"Prison Land is a small place after all, and the enemy didn't act personally but mobilized the surrounding Sea Beasts, which indicates his power is limited. Most likely, he's a Dragon Descendant with diluted Dragon power... we can fight him."

Wen Xinghai swiftly thrust forward, stirring up a Dark Green Miasma that transformed into a Giant Python, eroding the sea waves green and coiling towards the Dragon Descendant.

The Dragon Descendant snorted coldly, spun around, and his Dragon Claws gleamed. The sea instantly trembled, then a Water Dragon let out a cry, its Dragon Head smashing into the Giant Python, continuing to press towards Wen Xinghai.

The two immediately clashed in the deep sea.

The players who were originally on the flying boat had already dispersed, rushing deeper into the sea.

Some Golden Core Players were entangled by the continuously emerging Rank 5 Yao Beasts and couldn't escape.

For a time, it seemed that only Wen Xinghai, who had actively met the attack, was fighting the Dragon Descendant.

After a period of entanglement, Wen Xinghai felt increasingly strained.

This Dragon Descendant's strength shouldn't have reached Rank 4, so he could barely keep up, but the opponent's strength was definitely above his, with every attack making him gasp for air.

However... "Time's almost up."

Wen Xinghai looked at the Dragon Descendant, jumped back a few steps, instantly creating a distance of several hundred meters.

The next moment, a Flaming Spear roared out from the left.

On the right, a Water Dragon, wrapped around a spear tip, whistled over.

The Dragon Descendant's expression remained unchanged. He unleashed a Water Spout with each claw, completely blocking both attacks without a scratch.

The next moment, more attacks came from all directions from afar: giant trees, sharp Flying Swords, and towering heat.

Almost instantly, including Wen Xinghai who was already there, a total of seventeen Golden Core Players launched a synchronized attack.

At the same Realm, a one-on-one fight still had the possibility of the enemy turning the tables. This time, the players were engaging in a righteous group beating; even with a lack of intelligence, there was almost no possibility of failure.

Wen Xinghai's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, feeling a little excited.

After the version update, the original major clubs and battle teams successively established Sect forces.

And some leading players also began to develop their own forces, which led to a differentiation among players.

Although there were organizations like Hundred Mechanisms Pavilion that served all players, and also support from Baiyi-type Players led by Li Changfeng, more forces began to show their own different development tendencies, leading to cooperation and competition.

To avoid being outpaced by other forces, all major forces showed similar tendencies:

To choose actions with less risk as much as possible, even if the benefits were slightly smaller.

This was to avoid the chain reactions caused by failure.

On this basis, Wen Xinghai, leading Red Rain Pavilion to unite with various Rogue Players to collectively explore the East, indeed took on considerable risk.

Once they failed, Red Rain Pavilion would waste many cheap full-cultivation resurrection chances, and its prestige would be greatly damaged, making it much harder to mobilize Rogue Players for future actions.

In this way, Red Rain Pavilion would gradually fall behind other player forces and might even eventually be annexed.

"Fortunately, the plan didn't go wrong.

"A Dragon Descendant appeared, but only one, and we have seventeen Golden Core Players free to deal with him together.

"As long as he is subdued, then..."

His thoughts abruptly stopped.

The Dragon Descendant raised its head and let out an unprecedented roar.

Despite being a simple roar, it seemed to have only one syllable.

However, to the Golden Core Players besieging him, it was like an ancient incantation striking their Souls directly.

Before Wen Xinghai and the others, it was as if a scroll unfolded—an ink wash painting of mountains and rivers, with a colossal Dragon coiling. Its Dragon Head slowly moved from the East, and its majestic Dragon Eyes looked at everyone.

Everyone lost their composure, stiffening in place, unable to make any movement!

Dragon's Might!

Only this thought flashed through Wen Xinghai's mind.

Information from Hundred Mechanisms Pavilion described it as a terrifying ability unique to True Dragons.

Legend has it that a True Dragon merely hovering remotely in the high-altitude clouds, its emitted pressure could awe the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Neither Dragon Descendants, Dragon Kin, nor Dragon Species possessed the ability to unleash Dragon's Might.

Dragon's Might currently only existed in legends.

But now... Whoosh!

Before Wen Xinghai and the others could react,

They saw the sea beside the Dragon Descendant roar and surge, instantly raising towering waves thousands of meters high, as if transforming into a massive Water Dragon, whistling and spreading out, and continuously growing larger.

In just an instant, the besieging Golden Core Players were completely swallowed by the Water Dragon. Their entire Qi quickly disappeared, and their Spiritual Sense was suppressed. All they could see was a vast expanse of white.

This is bad!

Wen Xinghai knew something was wrong; the Dragon Descendant's strength was far greater than he had imagined.

The most important thing to do right now was to issue a retreat order, telling everyone to disperse, abandon the siege, and switch to the planned intelligence gathering.

But... a Dragon Descendant possessing Dragon's Might must have a great secret.

Perhaps it was a secret related to True Dragons.

Wen Xinghai floated in the waves, thinking rapidly.

This was a sudden encounter battle.

The Dragon Descendant wanted to prevent them from going deeper into the deep sea, which is why he came out to intercept them, but he clearly didn't know how many people they had brought.

Similarly, although they didn't have specific intelligence on the Dragon Descendant, they had freed up seventeen Golden Core Players to besiege him together, and there were other Golden Core Players fighting Yao Beasts on the periphery.

Seizing the opportunity to gather all Golden Core Players, jointly deploy a grand formation, and cooperate with Magic Treasures, the win rate would not be low.

However, if they left now, allowing the Dragon Descendant to become wary, they might not find him again if they returned to the deep sea next time.

Should they let him go?

Wen Xinghai narrowed his eyes.

His body bobbed in the waves, and his Spiritual Sense was suppressed. He could no longer accurately judge the situation of other players around him.

Although players had communication privileges and all had live streams enabled, Wen Xinghai was already more inclined to use Spiritual Sense detection than text and visual information.

At this moment, he felt like he had become blind and deaf, with a sense of unease.
