Absolute Destiny Game.

Chapter 587 The Giant of the Clouds
The supreme emperor was astonished to discover that in the sky behind him, there was a white dragon with a body as white as snow, scales as cold as ice, and a chilling aura emanating from it!
Before he could fully react, a breath of icy dragon fire containing extreme freezing energy rushed towards him!
Xiao Jie did not use the Dragon Thunder Control Technique at this moment. He knew very well that dragons were divine beasts born to control lightning, possessing extremely high resistance to lightning damage, and could even absorb and transform it. He also did not choose to transform into a golden crow. Although the Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire was very effective against evil spirits, the golden dragon itself was of the yang nature, so the effect of the ultimate yang fire would inevitably be greatly reduced.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Supreme Emperor remained calm despite the shock. His battle instincts allowed him to react immediately, opening his dragon mouth and unleashing a blazing, dazzling golden dragon breath!

One ice, one fire; one white, one gold—two dragon breaths of completely opposite nature, yet both containing terrifying energy, collided violently in mid-air!
"boom--!"

The deafening explosion of energy was deafening! A blinding light burst forth from the point of impact, followed by energy shockwaves that spread outwards like tangible ripples, one after another, with overwhelming force! The surrounding clouds were instantly pushed aside by this brute force, forming an astonishingly large ring of cloudless sky, as if a piece of the heavens had been forcibly ripped away!
Finally, with their energy depleted, the two dragons simultaneously ceased their breath attacks, facing each other from a distance, their eyes flashing with vigilance and solemnity.

On the battlefield below, both the soldiers engaged in battle and the players watching from behind were stunned. After a brief silence, a deafening uproar erupted!
"Holy crap! Two dragons! Really two dragons!"

"Where did this white dragon come from? Is it one of our secret weapons?"

"It must be Longxiang Kingdom's trump card! I knew they had a backup plan!"

"Look at the white dragon's name! It's 'Hidden Moon Follows the Wind'! He's the vice president of Dragon Soaring!"

"Hidden Moon Follows the Wind (White Dragon Dharma Form): Level 47, Health Points: ???... What the heck is this health? Why are there so many question marks?"

"Is it strange that a powerful being who can transform into a dragon has a question mark in his health bar? The key point is that he can actually transform into a dragon! This is going to be interesting!"

"Awesome! Absolutely awesome! This trip was totally worth it! This is a battle of gods!"

The players' shock was far more intense than before. If the appearance of the golden dragon was an "unexpected shock," then the appearance of the white dragon was a "horrifying experience that overturned all understanding." Countless eyes were fixed on the sky, and various reconnaissance skills were constantly being cast into the air. The chat channels, team chat channels, and even the current map channel were flooded with exclamations, speculations, and frenzied discussions. Many casual players who had originally just intended to watch the spectacle realized that what they were witnessing might be the most spectacular and unbelievable battle since the server opened, even far exceeding the scope of a national war.

After the initial shock, the Supreme Emperor quickly regained his composure thanks to his strong mental fortitude and the rapid analysis of his advisors.

"Hmph, who do we have here? It's Brother Suifeng. Long time no see." Jinlong's deep, thunderous voice carried a hint of deliberate familiarity. "I know you and Long Xingtianxia are not on the same side, so why bother getting involved in this mess? As long as you leave now, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits after I unify the Nine Provinces!"

The white dragon that Xiao Jie had transformed into let out a clear, melodious roar, its voice tinged with a hint of mockery: "Hehe, why waste your breath, Emperor Brother? You know that now that I have appeared, I will not agree. But you, Emperor Brother, having already obtained the supreme power to transform into a divine dragon, wouldn't it be wonderful to roam freely between heaven and earth? Why be so attached to the power of this virtual world? Wouldn't it be better to put down the game, return to reality, and enjoy life?"

"Hahahaha!" The Supreme Emperor laughed wildly, his laughter filled with ambition and disdain. "Brother Suifeng, you are sorely mistaken! You don't understand what true winner's mindset is at all! Precisely because I have transformed into a divine dragon, and no one in the world can control me, I must go even further and grasp this vast land in my hands! That is the ultimate achievement!"

Xiao Jie chuckled inwardly: "I'm giving you a way out, but you won't take it. Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

“In that case,” Bai Long’s voice became indifferent and dignified, “I hope that Your Majesty is mentally prepared for what is about to happen.”

"Hahahaha! Stop bluffing!" The Supreme Emperor showed no weakness. "Don't think your white dragon incarnation is so powerful! My expert team predicted your every move! When you used the Five-Colored Stone to exchange for the Dragon Pearl, I had already begun collecting intelligence on you. Later, when you broke the Ten Deadly Formations, Dragon Traveled the World obtained the North Sea Dragon Pearl... My expert team had already analyzed that you were very likely planning a mission related to dragon transformation! Sure enough, we guessed right!"

His tone was full of confidence, as if everything was under control: "Moreover, my expert team predicted that even if you gained the ability to transform into dragons, you would only be ordinary true dragons. Now it seems that they were right. How can mere white dragons compare to me, a divine dragon appointed by the heavens? My expert team has already thoroughly researched this. Ordinary dragon bloodlines can at most master some exclusive supernatural abilities such as demonic arts and dragon thunder control. They can never possess true 'supernatural powers'! You think you can contend with me just because you can transform into a dragon? You're thinking too simply!"

There are differences between dragons.

As the Supreme Emperor spoke, he immediately unleashed his divine power—Clouds Rise from the Dragon!
The golden dragon was surrounded by swirling auspicious clouds, and a vast, dazzling sea of ​​clouds appeared out of thin air around it. The enormous dragon body was faintly visible within the clouds, like an emperor touring the heavens, riding on auspicious omens, extraordinary and divine, adding to its sacred and inviolable majesty.

Xiao Jie immediately realized that the other party was about to get serious.

With a thought, he also unleashed his supernatural power—Clouds Rise from the Dragon!
Around the white dragon, the cold air intensified, and a pure white frozen cloud, seemingly formed from the condensation of ten thousand years of mysterious ice, appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the white dragon's figure. The white dragon tumbled in the winter cloud, as if the ruler of ice and snow had descended to the mortal world, concealing its form in the extreme cold, its aura ethereal and unpredictable.

"Huh?" The Supreme Emperor was taken aback, surprised. "How come this white dragon also has supernatural powers? The expert group's intelligence didn't mention this!" He immediately asked through the internal channel.

An expert immediately reminded him from behind, "Boss, the opponent is displaying the 'White Dragon Dharma Form'! The opponent must have undergone some special ritual to transform the white dragon into human form and gain enhancements similar to the power of incense offerings or the approval of heaven and earth, thus enabling them to unleash supernatural powers. But even so, your divine dragon bloodline is of a higher rank, so your chances of winning are still greater!"

"That's good!" The Supreme Emperor felt relieved and no longer hesitated.

Golden flame breath!

Frosty Dragon Breath!

In an instant, the sky once again became the stage for two colossal dragons to battle! Within two enormous clouds, the dragon shadows churned and coiled, sometimes poking out their ferocious heads to spew forth their breath, and sometimes drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to summon lightning! Golden dragon flames and white freezing air collided and annihilated each other continuously, erupting with endless roars!

Xiao Jie unleashed his divine power, manipulating extreme cold to try and freeze the golden dragon and the surrounding golden clouds. However, the golden dragon erupted with scorching golden dragon flames, melting the ice layer easily like snow melting under the blazing sun. The golden dragon then retaliated, unleashing a cloud-burning technique, the intense heat distorting the air itself. Xiao Jie, in turn, summoned wind and rain, drawing upon a vast amount of water vapor and cloud power, transforming it into a torrential downpour that quietly extinguished the raging flames.

Two colossal dragons battled in the sea of ​​clouds, their claws tearing through the mist and their tails sweeping across the sky. Each collision unleashed visible ripples of energy. At times, they were entangled, tearing and clawing at each other with primal force, their scales shattering and blood splattering. At other times, they separated, clashing against each other across the clouds, their breath and thunder illuminating the sky with flickering light.

When the two massive clouds, each embracing a dragon, inevitably collided with a deafening roar, it triggered a cataclysmic event! A deafening thunderclap seemed to shatter the sky, and bolts of lightning, as thick as a child's arm and of various colors, shot out from the point of impact like uncontrolled thunder serpents, indiscriminately striking the earth below and blasting scorched craters into the ground. This caused the spectators to gasp in terror and scramble for cover. The scene was like the end of the world, terrifying and chilling.

The ground battle below continued with bloody carnage, but at this moment, the vast majority of players had already shifted their attention away from the ground's outcome, their eyes fixed on the sky. Everyone knew perfectly well that this battle between the two dragons high above was the key to determining the final outcome of this national war!

boom!
It was another unadorned clash of dragon breaths, the shockwave from the energy annihilation causing both dragons to involuntarily retreat slightly. Seeing that the white dragon Xiao Jie had transformed into was not at all at a disadvantage, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but feel anxious. The more anxious he became, the more arrogant he displayed, attempting to overwhelm his opponent with his aura.

"Hahahaha! Interesting! Brother Suifeng, I underestimated you after all!" The golden dragon roared with laughter. "However, this ends here! My Golden Dragon clan is the guardian beast of the Dragon Flower Empire, worshipped by the people for generations, enjoying the incense offerings of thousands of people for thousands of years! We possess innate divine abilities, the power of which is far beyond what your white dragon avatar, obtained from who-knows-where, can compare to!" "I'll let you witness firsthand what true, supreme power derived from bloodline and faith is! Divine Ability—Dragon Manifestation!"

With the supreme emperor's roar, the golden dragon's size began to grow wildly at a visible rate! The surrounding golden sea of ​​clouds also expanded rapidly, becoming even more vast and boundless. In the blink of an eye, the golden dragon, originally fifty or sixty meters long, had transformed into a colossal creature exceeding three hundred meters in length! It coiled within the churning golden clouds, its massive head like a mountain, its eyes like burning golden lakes, its long whiskers seemingly capable of stirring up the wind and clouds, and every twist of its body, covered in thick golden scales, carried a crushing power, radiating an overwhelming and suffocating pressure. This scene was enough to inspire awe, even despair, in any witness!

Xiao Jie watched his opponent transform with great interest. He never used his full strength, only employing the abilities of his White Dragon Dharma Form to fight against him. Firstly, he wanted to see what was so unique about this Supreme Emperor's "Divine Dragon Bloodline"—he needed to understand it before he could visualize even more powerful divine beasts and immortal creatures in the future. Secondly, it was a rare opportunity to encounter a worthy opponent, a good chance to stretch his muscles and experience the thrill of combat.

Otherwise, if you play one-sided matches for too long, your combat skills will decline, which is not good.

Since being an immortal is practically immortal, one has enough capital to "play around".

It now appears that the basic form of this golden dragon is roughly on par with the strength of his own white dragon dharma form. And the "Dragon God's Descent" technique the opponent is currently using does indeed unleash power surpassing that of the white dragon dharma form in a short period of time.

"Could this guy have obtained some kind of 'pseudo-ascension' item? Even if it's not a true destiny to immortality, it has some similar characteristics." Xiao Jie thought to himself. "However, if it's just a pure accumulation of power, it's still not enough compared to the ever-changing methods of immortals that directly point to the origin of the laws. I'll take this opportunity to weigh how long this so-called divine dragon can last in front of a true immortal."

Thinking of this, the white dragon that Xiao Jie had transformed into gave the Supreme Emperor, who had just completed his transformation and was at the height of his power, a very human-like smile. Suddenly, the dragon body floated back lightly and quickly disappeared into the thick frost and frozen clouds, its aura becoming almost imperceptible.

"Boy, you think you can run away just because you can't beat me? It's not that easy!" Seeing his opponent retreat, the Supreme Emperor assumed that Xiao Jie was weak and his confidence soared. With a roar, he rode the vast golden clouds and rushed straight towards the clouds where the white dragon was hiding!
However, upon entering the frigid clouds, the Supreme Emperor was astonished to find that the white dragon had vanished without a trace, as if it had evaporated! The clouds were filled with only biting cold and pervasive moisture; there was no sign of life whatsoever.

"Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain! Can you see where the White Dragon went from down below?" The Supreme Emperor hurriedly asked in the command channel.

"Boss, the White Dragon... has completely disappeared! It's like it never existed!" The ground commander, Fenglin Huoshan, was also completely bewildered.

From the perspective of the players on the ground, the white dragon simply vanished.

"Could it be that you've vanished into thin air? Hmph, you're smart enough to know what's good for you!" The Supreme Emperor sneered inwardly. "But it doesn't matter. As long as I wipe out the army of your Dragon Soaring Kingdom first, the remaining white dragon won't be able to cause any trouble!"

"Boss! Watch out behind you!" Just then, a member of the expert team suddenly screamed from behind, his voice filled with panic.

The Supreme Emperor suddenly became alert, an indescribable sense of oppression coming from behind him. He turned around in horror, and a chill ran down his spine.

Behind him, amidst the thick clouds, the silhouette of a colossal figure, towering like a mountain and reaching into the sky, was faintly projected! The size of that figure was terrifying, estimated to be at least several hundred to a thousand meters tall! Compared to it, his newly manifested, proud three-hundred-meter-long golden dragon was like an insignificant little mudfish!
"No...impossible! What kind of magic is this?!" The Supreme Emperor felt his mouth go dry; his previous smugness was instantly replaced by immense fear. This was completely beyond his comprehension of game skills!

"The enemy absolutely cannot possess magic of this level! It must be some kind of extremely realistic illusion!" The voices of the expert team members behind him trembled, but they still forced themselves to analyze, trying to stabilize morale.

"That's right! There's absolutely no such supernatural power in the White Dragon's bloodline data! It's very likely that there's a very high-level NPC spellcaster, or a hidden trump card from their guild, assisting him in creating illusions!"

"That's right, it's very likely that the one who brought the divine intervention, Hong Fuqitian!"

The expert's assessment was like a lifeline to the Supreme Emperor. He immediately came to his senses, and a surge of anger at being tricked welled up inside him: "Damn it! You think you can scare me with such clumsy illusions? Your bluffing and trickery won't fool me at all!"

"Hehehe!" From within the clouds came Xiao Jie's deep, majestic voice, echoing across the entire sky. "Illusion? Brother Emperor, you really are... both ignorant and adorably arrogant."

As the words were spoken, a gigantic hand formed from swirling clouds descended upon the Supreme Emperor, blotting out the sky! Even before the hand arrived, the air currents it stirred caused the surrounding clouds to surge violently!

Even if he suspected it was an illusion, the Supreme Emperor dared not completely ignore the incredibly realistic scene. He instinctively unleashed a blazing dragon fire breath at the giant hand!

The golden flames instantly dispersed the giant cloud hand, and the attack missed its mark. However, the part of the giant hand that was hit by the dragon's breath simply dispersed like ordinary mist, without any physical damage. After a moment, it slowly condensed again as the surrounding clouds replenished it.

"Hahaha! It really was an illusion! I was almost fooled!" Upon seeing this, the Supreme Emperor felt reassured and burst into laughter.

The next second, another giant cloud-like hand attacked again, with even greater force!

"Still trying to fool me? Watch me charge straight over, find your true form, and kill you!" The Supreme Emperor, who felt he had seen through everything, not only did not dodge this time, but instead activated his divine power and charged directly towards the huge silhouette in the clouds, meeting the giant hand that was coming at him!
He wanted to shatter this illusion of supernatural powers!

However, just as his dragon head was about to collide with the giant hand—

"Bang!!!"

A deafening, muffled roar! An irresistible, immense force slammed solidly into the golden dragon's massive body!
1038!

As a bright red damage number appeared, the Supreme Emperor felt as if he had been hit by a flying mountain. His massive dragon body was sent flying uncontrollably, tumbling several times in the air before he could barely regain his balance!

"What?! It's not an illusion! It's real?!" The Supreme Emperor was utterly terrified, his dragon eyes filled with disbelief and horror. The power was so real; the damage numbers couldn't be faked!

A single blow took away more than a tenth of his health; the giant's attack was definitely real. How could this happen?!
