"Y-You! Beast, how dare you get cocky! I'll have you kneel down first!"
Kher Melen's shout broke off the thoughts of Crystal Palace Sect's Guardian.
Instinctively, he looked down.
Right in the middle of the crowd, Kher Melen swung the blade and circulated his Martial Master. Spirit energy surged forward and the blade shone with a spirit light, slicing at Aiden's knees!
"Nothing should change. There's no way a spirit demon can escape from the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation that was created with the death of four Guardians."
The thought crossed the Crystal Palace Sect Guardian's mind.
Immediately after, his expression changed!
He was a Martial Grandmaster after all and had cultivated an Essence Spirit. Although it was restricted and he could not attack at will, his senses were much sharper than ordinary Martial Masters with his Essence Spirit!
He sensed spirit energy fluctuating in Aiden's body!
Furthermore… It was terrifying!
"Ancient… Primordial… Dragon… Art!"
Aiden's eyes were frighteningly bright as he snarled word by word.
A primordial energy seemed to be awakened as the aura in Aiden's body climbed endlessly!
"Spirit energy!"
"That's the aura of a Martial Master! His Martial Master hasn't been destroyed!"
"That's impossible!"
The crowd fell into an uproar.
There were many martial artists that witnessed a Quasi Divine powerhouse destroying Aiden's Inner Core personally in the battle of the paragons in the North Region.
But now, Aiden's Martial Master power had reappeared and was even more terrifying than before!
Immediately after, right in front of countless gazes, an extremely long-living being appeared from thin air. It coiled a couple times around his body before extending upwards into the air!
Kher Melen's blade was repelled before it could reach Aiden's knees and a series of sparks burst forth in the void!
His body shuddered and he could not maintain his grip on the blade as it was blown away!
"Psst!"
"What is this?"
Many martial artists gaped with disbelief.
Green scales appeared one after another on the living being's body, shimmering with a cold light. The bones on its back and its sharp fangs and claws were fully exposed with horns thrusting fiercely above its head.
"I-Is that a… d-d-d-d-dragon?!"
A martial artist asked with a trembling voice and frightful expression as he nearly knelt on the ground.
Although none of the martial artists in the ancient city had seen what a dragon looked like, that was the only answer that crossed their minds when they caught sight of that living being.
It was one of the Primordial Ancient Races, the dragon!
Only a True Dragon could release such a terrifying aura!
The True Dragon was life-like and its scales, bones, and claws were fully formed with flesh and blood.
The eyes of the dragon opened gradually.
Those eyes opened and closed together with Aiden's eyes in unison.
Its gaze was cold, dignified, and unquestionable!
Against the sweeping gaze of the dragon's eyes, some martial artists could not withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground with a thud, shivering from head to toe in silence.
Back in the primordial era, humans were enslaved by ten thousand races and were puny as ants with cheap lives.
The primordial dragon race was the leader of the ten thousand races, riding over all of them and dominating the world!
It was a suppression of the bloodline, a fear that originated from an ancient memory!
Although Aiden was still unable to move against the power of the Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation, his aura had intensified with a True Dragon coiling around him!
That was the terror of a True Dragon.
Yet, how frightening was a man who could command the True Dragon?
A divine being!
This was a divine being who could control the world and decide the fates of all beings!
Even the Crystal Palace Sect Guardian who stood in the air afar felt chills run down his spine, let alone the Martial Masters in the surroundings.
"Kher Melen, hurry and retreat!"
The Crystal Palace Sect Guardian was the first to react and shouted.
Kher Melen shuddered and snapped out of his stupor. Instinctively, he wanted to retreat and pull himself away from Aiden.
However, it was all too late.
Aiden's eyes were like lightning as he took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
Almost at the same time, the True Dragon coiling around him took a deep breath and its body expanded a few times. Puffing its chest, a gigantic air current churned and formed a cyclone in midair.
The True Dragon also opened its massive mouth at the same time, revealing menacing fangs that dripped with drool!
"Roar!"
Both of them opened their mouths and let out a deafening roar that could break metal and rocks!
Aiden's black hair danced wildly and the veins on his neck popped up. With a sharp gaze, he howled in front of him and the sound of a dragon roar burst forth from his mouth!
Instantly!
The weather changed as sand and rocks flew.
That was a True Dragon roar.
It was much more powerful than the sonic attack known to them!
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Most of the martial artists in the circle closest to Aiden could not endure the shock of the dragon roar and exploded into blood mists.
Some of the martial artists that were slightly further away had scars of blood appearing on their faces – although their bodies did not explode, their organs were already ruptured into dust!
There were more martial artists who stood on the spot motionlessly with widened eyes as blood oozed out of their seven orifices – all of them were dead!
After the dragon roared, silence ensued.
The demon beast mounts of some martial artists, be it ancient remnant beasts or pure-blooded ferocious beasts, were all shivering in fear at the moment with poop and pee flowing freely.
There were countless people who died from the dragon roar!
Corpses were strewn all around Aiden and rivers of blood were formed – it was akin to purgatory!
The Omnidirectional Demon Suppression Formation could restrict his Inner Core and root him to the spot but it could not seal his Martial Master!
"Even if I can't move, I can cull all of you like dogs!"
Aiden's voice was cold and his killing intent was torrential!
Kher Melen was the only one who could remain standing in a radius of 30 feet around Aiden.
It was true that his body was strong.
He was not dead despite that dragon roar.
However, his eardrums were ruptured and the injury of his right arm had burst again as well. Right now, his mind was blank and his consciousness was hazy – he could no longer sense what was happening around him.
"Hurry and retreat!"
Crystal Palace Sect's Guardian yelled.
Many Crystal Palace Sect Martial Masters were bolting through the crowd towards Kher Melen, hoping to save him.
Gradually, Kher Melen regained some of his senses and his eyes were filled with fear as he tried to retreat.
The next moment, he saw Aiden smirk with mockery.
"Go!"
Aiden opened his mouth and said a single word indifferently.
Swoosh!
The True Dragon that coiled around him upwards surged down and descended upon Kher Melen's head instantly, glaring down with a fixed gaze.
Kher Melen was scared out of his wits.
Drip!
In fact, Kher Melen did not even dare to wipe his face when drool dripped from the corner of the True Dragon's mouth onto his face!
"Pfft!"
The next moment, the True Dragon lowered its head and chomped down on Kher Melen!
Blood splashed out with a slight warmth.
Kher Melen was dead, devoured alive by the True Dragon conjured by Aiden!
The killing intent in Aiden's eyes surged.
This was the first time that he released the Ancient Primordial Dragon Art after 20 years of dormancy at the bottom of Dragon Burial Valley.
He could clearly sense that the True Dragon around him had gotten more corporeal and sentient, as though it possessed a life of its own!
In reality, there was a huge difference between this and the description of the Ancient Primordial Dragon Art.
The Ancient Primordial Dragon Art merely made use of a trickle of dragon blood and spirit energy to conjure an illusory dragon.
But the dragon summoned by Aiden was life-like and complete with flesh and blood!
More than that, the beguiling thing was that he had a feeling that this True Dragon seemed to have an extremely close connection to him – it was as though the origin of their bloodline was inseparable!
