Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation - Chapter 311 : Chapter 311
Chapter 311. I Can Tell You All the Truth (2)
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Ninth Form: Splitting Light Single Annihilation ]
Patrick’s left-hand sword unleashed a myriad of sword strikes.
-Kuk….
-Hmm….
It shone as dazzlingly as the morning sun’s rays.
Even the Four Calamities couldn’t help but be blinded by the flash.
The brilliant sword light had obscured Patrick’s form.
And right after that….
“Go!”
From the center of that light, a fierce black dragon shot out.
The black dragon of raw destructive power charged straight at the White Tiger on the ground.
CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH!
-Ugh….
The White Tiger, struck by the fierce black dragon’s charge, staggered back.
Although the White Tiger had been hit by Patrick’s attacks before, this attack was much heavier than before.
It was so threatening that it felt like he could die if he wasn’t careful, going beyond just being painful.
-Guuuuaaaaaah!
The White Tiger roared loudly, unleashing all its power.
The black dragon formed by Patrick’s intent shattered into pieces from the roar.
The White Tiger was covered in large and small wounds all over its body, but….
-Not yet!
It wasn’t enough to render him incapable of fighting.
The White Tiger burned with fighting spirit and sucked all the surrounding air into its mouth.
The White Tiger’s chest swelled to more than twice its size as it inhaled so much air that the oxygen in the area became thin.
And then….
-Take this!
PWOOOOOOSH!
A wind bullet was fired from the White Tiger’s mouth.
The wind bullet, compressed to an incredible density, had the terrifying destructive power to devastate the area upon impact.
Patrick instantly judged that he couldn’t escape the range of that attack even if he dodged it.
Therefore….
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Tenth Form: Twin Dragons Revolution Strike ]
‘I’ll break through it with force.’
Once again, the Black Dragon sword in Patrick’s right hand stretched forward, releasing a black dragon made of Formed Qi of Intent.
The moment the White Tiger’s wind bullet and the black dragon released by Patrick collided head-on….
KABOOOOOM!
A terrifying explosion erupted.
-A stalemate?
-No, that’s not it.
The moment the White Tiger’s wind bullet and Patrick’s black dragon collided.
The Azure Dragon saw it.
He saw the swift and fast White Dragon being released from the left-hand sword that Patrick swung a little later.
While the black dragon collided with the White Tiger’s wind bullet and exploded, the White Dragon circled wide in an arc and struck the White Tiger’s torso head-on.
-Guuuuaaaaaah!
The fast and sharp strike of the White Dragon pierced a hole in the White Tiger’s torso.
A fatal blow, incomparable to any before.
The White Tiger staggered and fell to its knees on the ground.
Seeing this, the Vermilion Bird….
-How dare you!
Prophecy or not, the Vermilion Bird, who couldn’t stand losing, enveloped its body in flames and soared high into the sky.
And the Vermilion Bird, which flew so high it became invisible….
-Let’s see you take this.
It descended vertically.
At the Vermilion Bird’s attack, which looked like a giant spear of fire falling to the ground with its wings folded, the Azure Dragon shouted urgently.
-Stop it. Are you trying to kill us all?
This was just a test.
Although it was serious, it would be troublesome if Patrick, the man of prophecy, died if possible.
But the Vermilion Bird now seemed to be genuinely trying to kill Patrick.
However….
“Come at me.”
As if this human could be killed just by trying.
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Eleventh Form: Raging Dragon Torrent ]
This was Patrick’s favorite technique among the new forms he created.
It resembled the Twin Dragons Wild Dance in that it cornered the enemy with countless wild strikes, but the difference was that this was an intent-based ultimate technique that unleashed Formed Qi of Intent, and the essence of the technique was much rougher and more destructive.
If the Twin Dragons Wild Dance focused on sharpness, the Raging Dragon Torrent focused on the ferocity and destructive power of a mad dragon going berserk with its eyes rolled back.
‘I don’t know why, but it fits my hand perfectly.’
And from Patrick’s twin swords, countless Formed Qi of Intent shot out.
The powerful black dragon.
The swift white dragon.
These two types of Formed Qi of Intent attacks indiscriminately rushed at the Vermilion Bird, which had become a spear of fire falling to the ground.
-Kuh… Kuaaaah!
Would it feel like this if a chicken’s feathers were plucked while it was still alive?
The ferocious Formed Qi of Intent unleashed by Patrick stripped away the flames of the falling Vermilion Bird and began to tear the Vermilion Bird inside to shreds.
The Vermilion Bird had already lost its momentum of falling to the ground and was being devoured, torn, and crushed by the ferocious dragon’s torrent.
-St… Sto… I surren….
The Vermilion Bird was about to declare its surrender, but Patrick’s sword showed no mercy.
‘You’ve been getting on my nerves from the start.’
He had no intention of letting it down with a clean, single blow like the White Tiger.
He would also test the power of his new form while he was at it.
Crash-crash-crash-crash-crash-crash-crash-crash-crash-crash!
Thus, the Vermilion Bird was shattered by Patrick’s new form.
In the end, it fell to the ground in a state like a plucked chicken.
THUD!
-Kuh… Krrrr….
Patrick, having dealt with the Vermilion Bird, turned his gaze towards the Azure Dragon on one side.
“You’ve waited long, haven’t you?”
-…….
“Now it’s your turn.”
The Azure Dragon flinched without realizing it.
Just by cleanly dealing with the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird, there was no doubt about that human’s strength.
He might really be the man of prophecy.
No, he even began to think that he was without a doubt.
But….
-My pride will not allow me to back down meekly.
“Hooo, is that so?”
-I will show you. Why I have been called the head of the Four Gods since the days we were called the Four Divine Beasts!
And the Azure Dragon spat something out from its throat and held something in its mouth.
The identity of that blue-shining jewel was a wish-granting pearl.
A treasure that held the divinity of the dragon race.
Using this meant that the Azure Dragon was also serious.
It was evident just by the fact that the lightning energy surrounding its body had doubled in strength.
“Good. Let’s do this, shall we?”
He had thought it would be a shame to end it like this anyway.
Shouldn’t he show the last gift he had prepared?
The sword draws light.
The form it creates is a dragon of light.
Light forms a shape, and Patrick’s intent is projected onto that crafted form.
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Final Secret Art: Twelfth Form: Radiant Dragon’s Reign Under Heaven ]
Patrick’s unique martial art, created to surpass the existing Dragon God’s Reign Under Heaven.
The dragon of light created this way was twice as large as the dragon created with the original Dragon God’s Reign Under Heaven.
It was so large that even the massive Vermilion Bird looked relatively small.
Patrick, who had entered the dragon of light, spoke to the Azure Dragon.
“This is my full power.”
-…….
“You’re prepared, right?”
-Wait, any further testing is meaningle….
“No questions asked, you bastard!”
Patrick’s Radiant Dragon soon became a Mad Dragon and charged at the bewildered Azure Dragon.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
A dazzling flash of light exploded in the sky.
The dragon of light swallowed the Azure Dragon whole.
The Azure Dragon, struck squarely by that blow….
THUUUUUUD!
It fell straight to the ground.
Patrick, having gathered the fallen Vermilion Bird and the groaning White Tiger next to it all in one place, looked down at them majestically from within the dragon of light.
After confirming they no longer showed any will to fight.
“Are you going to go too? Giant turtle?”
The Black Tortoise, also known as the Walking Calamity, had not interfered in the battle from beginning to end.
It just watched silently.
And for the first time, it slowly lifted its head and spoke.
-Do not look down on me, human.
“So are you going to fight or not?”
-I was once the guardian of the north, and I managed the creation of life and death, and….
“Are you going to fight?”
-Because I am so wise and sagacious, I can say this with confidence. You are undoubtedly the man of prophecy.
“……”
-So there is no need to fight.
In a word, he had already proven himself enough, so the Black Tortoise itself would stay out of it.
-Congratulations, human. You have passed our ordeal.
Looking at the Black Tortoise getting a free ride, Patrick said.
“What did you do?”
-…….
The Black Tortoise did not answer.
***
The Four Calamities officially acknowledged Patrick.
If this monster wasn’t the man of prophecy, then who on earth could be?
So now….
-I can tell you all the truth.
“Finally….”
Patrick let out a sigh.
Then he looked at the Four Calamities and said.
“If you say ‘I can’t tell you’ again, I’ll strip off that bastard’s shell, fill it with water, and boil you all.”
-…….
The Azure Dragon’s body trembled.
The trembling was from the thrill that the age of prophecy had finally arrived and….
‘This human might actually do it.’
It was because of fear.
In any case, the truth flowed from his mouth.
The Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon.
Everything started here.
They were born in human bodies, but the essence of their existence was by no means human.
Both were the pinnacle of demons heralding the end of the world, merely born in human bodies.
Their very essence was akin to that of demigods.
And as they grew in human bodies, they gradually found their divine selves.
The reason was just one.
To bring an end to the world.
The Heavenly Demon, the pinnacle of all demons in the world.
The Blood Demon, the lord of hell and death.
These two were originally beings in charge of destruction within the cycle of the world’s renewal.
If the creatures living in the world grew strong enough to withstand and overcome them, the world’s lifespan would be extended, but if not, the world would be destroyed, and they would await the next era.
That was the natural order.
However, the problem was that two destroyers had appeared in the same era.
There was only one world to destroy, but two destroyers.
At this rate, the wheel of the world would not turn according to the natural order.
In the end, the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon clashed.
***
Patrick nodded his head.
As he listened to the explanation, a question he had long held was answered.
“So that’s why the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the Asura Blood Cult clashed so much.”
He couldn’t understand why similar groups from the martial world of the Central Plains were so bent on destroying each other.
But now, hearing the story, he understood.
“So it was beasts fighting over the prey called the Nine Provinces of the World.”
-It is not wrong to think of it that way. For us, it was fortunate.
“Fortunate? How was it fortunate?”
At the Azure Dragon’s words, Patrick wore a look of disbelief.
Although Patrick hadn’t lived through that era, the period of the war between the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and the Asura Blood Cult is remembered as the time when the most blood was shed in the martial world of the Central Plains.
Countless martial artists, as well as ordinary people, died, and it is said that even the Imperial Court, which does not interfere in the affairs of the martial world, dispatched the Imperial Guard, only for them to be annihilated.
That dreadful period, recorded as a time of death and destruction, was fortunate?
Then the White Tiger spoke to Patrick.
-Man of prophecy, if the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon had not clashed and kept each other in check, that world would have been destroyed long ago. Not a single rat, not a single blade of grass would have been left.
“……”
The White Tiger continued to explain to the silent Patrick.
-In the end, the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon could not settle their score. And the human bodies they had borrowed to manifest were also gradually reaching their limits. And when the lifespan of those bodies ran out, the two came to an agreement.
