Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence

Chapter 541: Chapter 415: The Battle for the "Sun Crown Stone

The sky was torn apart by two extreme colors.

Ahead was a burning, crimson stream of light.

With every flap of its wings, the Blazing Phoenix left a magnificent, hundred-meter-long tail of fire in its wake, igniting the air and distorting the light.

Behind it, the Golden Dragon Sun had transformed into a raging, golden meteor.

Sun was utterly consumed by fury.

To have a heaven-sent opportunity snatched from its grasp—this humiliation and rage had thoroughly ignited its pride as a Giant Dragon.

Every one of its Dragon Scales was burning, and golden Blazing Flames erupted from its body.

Earth-shattering draconic roars, filled with furious and indignant bellows, rolled out in waves, chasing the damnable crimson light ahead.

Raylo, riding Baofeng, was left far behind.

The violent gales at high altitude were like countless sharp knives.

Raylo’s expression was incredibly grim. He pressed his body tightly against Baofeng’s back, his gaze locked on the two entangled streaks of gold and red light ahead.

He could feel that Baofeng was already giving its all.

As the Storm Griffin King, its speed was top-tier among Flying Magical Beasts, but before two Domain Level creatures, it was still clearly outmatched.

The distance between them was slowly but surely increasing.

The ground below receded rapidly from view, blurring into patches of color.

They had already chased for dozens of kilometers, leaving the erupting volcano far behind and entering a more desolate region with even stranger terrain.

The land was covered with countless huge, crisscrossing black chasms, as if the entire world had once been torn to pieces here.

The smell of sulfur in the air grew stronger, and the temperature began to climb again.

An ominous premonition rose in Raylo’s heart.

’This Blazing Phoenix isn’t just fleeing blindly.’

’As a Magical Beast at the Domain Level Peak, its power can only be greater than Sun’s. To fly all the way here...’

’It has a clear destination.’

Just then, the trajectory of the crimson stream of light ahead changed abruptly.

It stopped flying forward. Instead, it folded its burning wings and dove, its entire body like a crimson arrow, plunging toward the tallest and most active volcano below.

That volcano was far larger than any they had encountered before. Its slopes were an ominous dark red, and its massive crater, like the gaping maw of a Demon, continuously spewed thick, bubbling lava.

Sun let out a furious roar.

It tried to accelerate and intercept, but it was a step too slow.

As it watched, the Blazing Phoenix’s figure plunged headfirst into the sea of churning lava in the crater without a hint of hesitation.

"FWOOMP."

The crimson figure vanished as if it had never been there.

All that remained were giant ripples spreading across the surface of the lava lake, which were quickly swallowed by more lava surging up from below.

"ROAR!"

Endless fury and indignation transformed into a world-shaking draconic roar that echoed above the crater.

Sun circled madly above the crater, repeatedly spewing destructive Dragon Breath at the lava lake below.

The golden Dragon Breath sent lava blasting in all directions.

But it was all in vain.

The Sun Crown Stone had already been carried into the depths of the lava by that cunning Phoenix.

Although its mighty Domain Power and formidable draconic body made it immune to most Flame damage, it still could not bear the terrifying pressure and extreme temperature in the lava’s depths—which were enough to create a Twisted Space.

Moreover, a Domain Level Peak Magical Beast, even more powerful than itself, was hiding in the depths of the lava lake.

It was unwilling to give up, and indeed, it could not.

To the dragon, that Sun Crown Stone was the call of its bloodline, a chance for evolution—something it could not afford to lose, no matter what.

It could only act like a savage beast, endlessly spewing Dragon Breath above the crater, venting its fury in vain.

Raylo, riding Baofeng, slowly landed on the edge of the crater.

The rock underfoot was as searing as a red-hot branding iron.

The air was thick with a nauseating stench of sulfur.

He looked down at the churning lava, a scene straight from Hell, then up at the nearly crazed Sun in the sky, his brow deeply furrowed.

’The Blazing Phoenix is hiding deep in the lava.’

’This situation is even trickier than I imagined.’

For a moment, he couldn’t think of any good solution.

This Blazing Phoenix was far too intelligent; it lacked the impulsiveness and savage desires of an ordinary Magical Beast.

Despite possessing Power greater than Sun’s, it had chosen to hide behind the sky-blotting volcanic ash, only striking the moment the Sun Crown Stone appeared.

After succeeding, it had immediately fled to its lair, using the lava lake to evade the pursuit of Sun and Raylo.

He gazed at the lava lake, which roiled with huge bubbles and radiated a scorching heat.

Raylo was lost in thought.

’A direct assault?’

’Neither I nor Sun can enter the lava’s depths.’

’A siege?’

’Who knows how long that Phoenix can stay in the lava.’

’Maybe ten days, maybe half a year or more.’

’We can’t afford to wait that long.’

Besides, Raylo had a feeling that the Blazing Phoenix would not simply hide down there forever.

Having swallowed the Sun Crown Stone, it would surely need time to digest and absorb that immense energy.

Once it successfully absorbed the Power of the Sun Crown Stone, its own strength would undergo an earth-shattering transformation.
