Reincarnated as a World

Ch.69 The Crystal Dragon King’s 4th Realm Evolution

Gaia watched with astonished eyes as the body of the Crystal Dragon began to float. It was clear that the Dragon was still unconscious because of the limp manner he hung in the air, so how was he moving?

Numerous scenarios such as ‘the attacker confiscating the body’ and perhaps ‘a hidden treasure on the Crystal Dragon’s body activating in self-defence’ flickered through Gaia’s mind like a tornado, but she was unable to confirm anything.

Just as she was wondering if she could find a way to help the Magical Energy in the area began to behave erratically.

‘Wha-’

WHOOOM!

A spontaneous air pressure flatten the grass and shoved at the bushes and trees as the winds howled. And even more shocking than that was ridiculous amounts of Magical Energy that began surging towards the Crystal Dragons body.

Gaia’s heart jumped as she envisioned her brother dying from an over inflation of Magical Energy, or becoming an Abomination which was just as bad, when she witnessed with her own 2 naked eyes the scene of her brother soaking up untold amounts of Magical Energy like it was nothing.

The jaw of the Creation Dragon was once again left hanging as she watched her brother absorb absurd amounts of Magical Energy for a whole 5 minutes.

This Magical Energy wasn’t generated out of thin air so that left thousands of metres around the Crystal Dragon King completely barren of Magical Energy. Areas like this were called [Dead Magic Zones] and to Gaia’s bewilderment, she happened to be close enough to be encompassed by it.

‘Could there truly be a Magic or Divine Treasure on his body? Brother’s body is way too weak to attract and absorb such a crazy amount of Magical Energy so it has to be.’

Alas, simply drawing in Magical Energy in vain wasn’t the purpose of the Tribulation and the Crystal Dragon’s body began to change as the barrier to the 4th Realm collapsed.

He was evolving.

His body grew, rising from 40 metres tall and 60 metres long to a whopping 100 metres tall and 150 metres long which was definitely a daunting size for an Enlightened Beast in the 1st Stage.

Every piece of burnt flesh and every single scale including the reverse one were forcefully peeled from his body before disintegrating into ashes that flew along with the wind currents.

But not even 10 seconds later did new flesh and scales regenerate in a form that was many times more grandiose than before. They were purple as usual, crystal-like as well, but each scale had a certain thickness to it that lacked the illusion of brittleness that ordinary crystals had. There was also a lava-like glow to them that made them look like they somehow had an unbearable heat trapped within, which was definitely different to before.

His horns, claws and tail-spike were shattered and replaced anew in a similar form, being a darker purple than the scales and releasing a periodic pulse, however, they were bigger than before and definitely had visible violet coloured flames that swished around within. It was the transparent nature of the crystals that enabled them to be visible and threatening to all who looked.

In fact, they released both a sharp and searing aura that threatened to cause laceration to any that got close.

The reborn Crystal Dragon King opened his eyes and that alone would have caused heart attacks in weaker beings.

2 purple blazing eyes that lacked pupils revealed themselves as good contenders of the sun. Other than the white sclera, they were like 2 boiling balls of fire that wanted everything in creation to burn.

The Crystal Dragon King flapped his mighty wings and soared into the air, opening his maw filled with razor-like teeth and roaring into the air with the majesty and elation of a Beast King that had just risen.

The violet coloured flames of the Heavenly Dragon Flame were ejected out of his mouth as he flexed his new Dragon Breath.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dragon Flames had… assimilated into the DNA of the Crystal Dragon King.

The Crystal Dragon King was ecstatic! The risk that he bargained for had come back in full! The reason why he waited till reaching the 9th Stage of the Seeking Beast Realm other than to reach a level that would prevent his implosion, was so that if he had the chance to evolve… he would assimilate the Flames into his very DNA!

He was very aware of the difference between newborn Dragons born from parents that had evolved with strange perks and parents that didn’t. That was why he waited till this very day.

Forgoing the advances of the female Dragons and waiting until he conquered the Heavenly Dragon Flames before he indulged in such… activities, it was all so that his future children that would be the princes and princesses of the Royal Dragon Family would have unlimited potential!

He honestly felt like crying tears of joy but it was a devious glint that showed in his eyes instead. He very clearly remembered the gossip of the females that were beginning to think he was ‘incapable’. It was the most embarrassing moment of his life but now… no more!

‘Hmph. I’ll show those little girls just how CAPABLE I am! Hmph!’

Just as he was going to swoop down he felt a change within his Mana and he froze. If one could see the skin beneath the scales on his face they would laugh at how quickly it was paling.

The Crystal Dragon King noticed the familiar essence in his body that for some reason had yet to fully assimilate with the rest of his Mana.

‘Is the Tribulation not done with me?!’

No. It was not.

‘Wait! That absurd form that the second (Supreme Dragon on the 2nd peak) and the rest gained, could it be?’

Indeed.

The evolution just now was the experience that any Beast crossing into a new Realm could go through if they were lucky enough.

But this was not the effect of the Tribulation.

WHOOSH!

The Crystal Dragon King’s body rapidly shrank as a multitude of changes took place all over his body.
