As these system notifications came through, an intense pain followed. He felt his blood boiling beyond the temperature of water, his skin turning red from the heat radiating within him.
Lucien had to bite his lips to keep from screaming, his teeth digging into his flesh as blood trickled down his chin.
Then suddenly, the sky turned dark. Dark clouds began to gather, lightning crackling within them. This seemed like an Origin Tribulation, a trial normally faced by Cultivators in the Throne Realm if they were talented. But as he was weak, he shouldn’t have summoned one.
It was at this moment that Lucien’s parents and Seraphina appeared at the scene. Seeing his familiar figure, excitement filled their hearts.
He was alive.
But Lucien’s parents were shocked. Did they just feel Originat from Lucien? And his cultivation didn’t seem low, he appeared to be in the Origin Realm.
They wanted answers. They glanced at Seraphina, whose gaze was entirely on Lucien. Those cold eyes had softened.
CRACKLE!
The sound of lightning crackling resounded through the sky, catching their attention. The dark clouds churned violently, arcs of crimson and gold lightning dancing within them like serpents of divine wrath. The air grew heavy, charged with an oppressive pressure that made breathing difficult.
Feeling the power it held, they began to feel worried for Lucien. Would he be able to do it? His cultivation was still weak, this tribulation was meant for those at the Throne Realm, not a mere Initiate who had just broken through to Origin.
And if they tried to help him, they would only increase the intensity of the tribulation, an intensity they themselves might not be able to withstand. The tribulation would perceive their intervention as interference and amplify its power accordingly. Any help would only make it worse.
ROAR!
Lucien opened his mouth in agony and let out a powerful Draconic roar that sounded ancient and domineering, as if it had existed since the primal times. The roar was not a sound of pain alone, it was a declaration, a challenge to the heavens themselves. It echoed through the heavens, shaking the very ground beneath their feet. The trees trembled. The air rippled. Even the tribulation clouds seemed to hesitate for a moment.
This wasn’t the only change that happened. His hair changed, standing straight like blades, the hair across his entire body bristling with an unknown energy. Each strand seemed to hum with power, as if his very being was being reforged.
Then two unknown powers were released, streaking into the sky like lightning, their brilliance rivaling the tribulation itself.
A whirlpool began to form under the sky, as if something was coming. The clouds churned violently, spiraling inward like a celestial vortex. The air grew heavier, thick with an ancient presence that made even the tribulation lightning seem small.
Seraphina and Lucien’s parents were shocked by this change, but thinking of the scene might attract a lot of people, they made a move, concealing what had happened and its relation to Lucien. Formation runes shimmered around them, masking the phenomenon from prying eyes.
But this Draconic chant was heard by everyone as they looked at the sky.
From this whirlpool, a draconic figure head popped out.
It was massive, larger than anything they had ever seen. Its scales were obsidian black, each one seeming to swallow the light around it. But coursing through them like molten veins of fire, crimson gold pulsed and glowed, giving the beast an ancient, regal majesty. Its eyes burned with twin suns of molten gold, ancient and knowing, carrying the weight of eons. Wisps of unknown energy and flame curled from its nostrils, and its horns curved back like crowns of dark fire.
Beside it, a blade quietly appeared.
It materialized from the void itself, emerging from the swirling darkness as if it had always been there. Its form was long and elegant, yet carried an edge of absolute finality. Its blade was void-black, swallowing the light around it, but traced with faint veins of silver-gold that pulsed like a living heartbeat. The hilt was wrapped in shadow-touched leather, cool and silent.
It seemed to be the primal ancestor of all blades.
The dragon head opened its mouth, swallowed the entire dark clouds after this, letting out a primal roar as they slowly disappeared, returning back to Lucien.
