Chapter 742: The Dragon King Appears
Buzz buzz!
As the enormous black gate appeared, the magical elements of the world began to boil and surge violently.
The crowd on-site, sensing the change, tensed up and stared intently at the gate with solemn expressions.
The Radiant Dragon King.
It belonged to the western dragon species.
Western dragons were known for their mastery of magic—many had heard of the term "dragon magic."
Truly top-tier dragons, it was said, possessed terrifying power capable of shaking the world's order even before reaching level 100.
Now, with the level 160 Radiant Dragon King about to appear, everyone remained extremely vigilant, their alertness at its peak, not daring to be careless.
According to historical records, whenever a dragon treasure vault appeared, those who entered the secret realm typically suffered heavy casualties.
This was because the Radiant Dragon King's strength was absurdly overwhelming.
The most excited among the crowd, of course, were Zhang Mingruo and his team.
They held a highly special dragon egg in their hands!
The egg, bought from an auction, was closely connected to the Radiant Dragon King and had triggered the egg-escort mission. Once the egg was delivered to the Radiant Dragon King, they would gain its favor and be granted unhindered access to the Radiant Treasure Vault.
Once inside the treasure vault, they could take whatever they desired!
It was said to contain SSS-grade materials, SS-grade skill books, SSS-grade items, and SS-grade elixirs, among other treasures.
With such a thought in mind,
how could Zhang Mingruo and the others not be thrilled?
Boom!
Under everyone's gaze,
the enormous gate standing in the center of the black basin began to tremble, signaling its imminent opening.
Then, a massive dragon claw emerged through the gate!
The claw was like a pillar holding up the sky, striking awe in the hearts of all who looked upon it.
Its scales radiated a seven-colored brilliance, and with its appearance, the magical elements in the world surged even more violently. The magical order itself showed signs of disruption.
Many magic-based professionals couldn't help but display uneasy expressions.
If the magical order became unstable, their magic-based skills would become much harder to execute.
A spell that normally didn't require chanting could suddenly have a cast time added due to the disrupted order!
The power of such spells could also vary.
This variation could result in either weakened or strengthened effects, but it could also lead to explosions.
For example, a Fireball spell, typically a weak F-grade skill,
might have its power drastically reduced under normal circumstances in this chaotic magical environment—or it could explode with the power of a C-grade skill.
The impact of the Radiant Dragon King was clearly putting magic-based professionals at a disadvantage.
This further demonstrated the terrifying nature of dragon magic and indicated that the Radiant Dragon King was particularly adept at using magic.
Of course, not all dragons specialized in magic—some excelled in melee combat, relying on their physical prowess to crush enemies.
As the crowd watched with shock and uncertainty,
the massive head of the Radiant Dragon King finally emerged!
Its enormous, ferocious dragon head was as large as a celestial body!
Next, its colossal body stepped through the ten-thousand-meter gate. The dragon stood nearly ten thousand meters tall, its muscles rippling with explosive power. No wonder the gate was so massive—anything smaller wouldn't have allowed the Radiant Dragon King to pass through!
"Roar!!"
As the nearly ten-thousand-meter-tall Radiant Dragon King roared, exuding overwhelming dragon might, the world's magical elements truly spiraled into chaos.
The surrounding space began distorting and collapsing!
The ground, once a black basin, cracked and crumbled into a dark canyon beneath the dragon's steps.
The crowd quickly activated their Eye of Appraisal skills, scanning the Radiant Dragon King.
[Monster: Radiant Dragon King]
[Level: 160]
[Age: 1000 years]
[Race: Dragon]
[Primary Stats: Strength 12 million; Intelligence 20 million; Constitution 18 million; Agility 15 million]
[Innate Talents: Magic Domination (SS), Last Stand (S)]
[Skills: Radiant Breath (S), Dragon Fang Strike (B), Elemental Nuclear Explosion (SS), Oblivion Black Hole (SS)…]
...…
Even the most basic F-grade Eye of Appraisal could clearly see all the Radiant Dragon King's details.
The dragon didn't seem to be hiding any of its abilities.
This was a sign of its complete confidence—it didn't fear the class-changers in the secret realm, believing it could trample them with ease!
To the Radiant Dragon King, the class-changers before it were mere ants.
Hmm…
That was expected.
As a dragon, it stood at the pinnacle of all beasts!
It was a species blessed by the heavens with extraordinary strength.
Dragons were born inherently stronger than most humans.
And after living for countless years and killing numerous foolish challengers,
the Radiant Dragon King viewed itself as a superior being and the class-changers before it as inferiors.
Moreover…
At level 160, with both its level and stats far surpassing those of the class-changers,
why would it consider them a threat?
"So, this is the Radiant Dragon King? Its presence is truly overwhelming!"
"What a monster! Its intelligence stat is 20 million! This is definitely a magic-based dragon!"
"Even its lowest stat, strength, is at 12 million! Damn!"
"And that's before it enters combat mode! Once it activates its dragon bloodline, its stats will skyrocket even higher!"
"How the hell are we supposed to defeat this thing?"
"What? You're actually thinking about defeating it?"
"…"
At this moment,
everyone stared in horror at the Radiant Dragon King.
Many weaker and more timid class-changers were already trembling, their legs shaking as they contemplated fleeing.
Even Avril and her group looked at the massive dragon with shocked expressions.
Ling Zhan, on the other hand, calmly observed the dragon and the chaotic magical order surrounding it.
He had seen similar signs before on the Rotten Witch.
When a creature's intelligence reached an extremely high level, it would begin to affect the surrounding magical order.
Of course…
Compared to the Rotten Witch Cathy, the Radiant Dragon King still had a long way to go.
