From the deepest part of Shenfeng Academy, countless golden rays shot straight into the sky, while countless phantom dragons soared through the air. Their roars were like crashing waves and thunder shattering the heavens, echoing throughout the world.
Tens of thousands gasped in astonishment at the sight of the Eastern dragon, a creature only found in myths and legends, appearing in the world. Everyone was utterly shocked! No one could contain their awe.
"Oh my god, am I dreaming?!"
"It's real! I saw it! I saw the phantom of a divine dragon!"
"It's unbelievable that the Divine Wind Academy is hiding a divine dragon!"
...
When the most powerful sacred beasts and divine beasts undergo Nirvana, it is accompanied by the extremely unusual phenomenon of a void reflection, where the form that is about to take shape is first reflected in the sky.
Several old-timers in the academy gazed at the phantom of the divine dragon soaring in the sky, their expressions filled with excitement, some even shedding tears.
The vice-dean murmured, "The Holy Dragon undergoes Nirvana, its reflection in the void transforming into a divine dragon—no… a divine spirit dragon… the offspring of an Eastern and Western divine dragon! Heaven help it, may its Nirvana be successful…"
An elderly man, his hair and beard completely white, his face etched with wrinkles, his age impossible to discern, stood in a corner of the Divine Wind Academy and exclaimed excitedly, "You are actually a Divine Dragon! The superior bloodline of our ancestors has finally awakened! Alas, I am truly unworthy to be your master!"
At this moment, observant people in the square noticed that the soaring dragon shadows were somewhat different from the Eastern Divine Dragon; each dragon shadow had a pair of light and agile golden dragon wings.
Some elderly people know that these are the characteristics of the legendary divine dragon, possessing the body of the Eastern dragon and the wings of the Western dragon, combining the advantages of both Eastern and Western dragons, and is one of the most powerful divine beasts in the world.
At that moment, not only did the ten thousand students of Shenfeng Academy gasp in astonishment, but the entire City of Sin was in an uproar. Everyone in the city stared in shock in that direction. Many people couldn't help but kneel down, muttering similar words:
"A divine dragon has been born; auspicious omens descend from the heavens!"
"Mythical beast, a year of great fortune!"
...
At this moment, Chen Nan's courtyard was filled with a water-like radiance, and the holy golden light continuously rippled and spread in all directions. From afar, the place was shrouded in mist, like a sacred realm on earth.
Chen Nan, holding Xiao Chenxi, was intently watching the enormous "dragon cocoon" in the backyard. The dragon cocoon radiated countless rays of light and auspicious colors, emitting a blazing, sacred light.
Little Chenxi looked worried and whispered, "Brother, what happened to Little Dragon? Is it in danger?"
"It might be a bit dangerous. When sacred beasts and divine beasts undergo rebirth, they will be envied by the heavens and suffer lightning tribulations. However, I think the little dragon will be able to get through it easily."
"Why would the heavens be jealous of us? Why would they bring us a tribulation of lightning?" Little Dawn became even more nervous, fearing that something might happen to the dragon baby.
Chen Nan sighed softly, "This is an underlying law of the universe. Whether it's a human or a beast, once their power reaches a certain level, they will attract a tribulation of lightning. Relatively speaking, Heaven is more lenient towards humans; unless they reach the realm of immortals, they won't attract a tribulation of lightning. But various sacred beasts and divine beasts are not so lucky. Every time they evolve to a higher level, they have to attract a tribulation of lightning and undergo a test from Heaven."
Xiao Chenxi asked nervously, "Will Xiao Longlong be able to get through this challenge?"
"Yes, Little Dragon can definitely do it. Its strength far surpasses that of ordinary holy dragons, and this rebirth will surely be successful. Look, those dragon shadows in the sky—that's Little Dragon transformed into a divine dragon. Isn't it much more majestic than before?"
Back when Chen Nan was in the Chu Kingdom's royal library, he had read in detail about the secrets of divine beast evolution. The instant the ethereal reflection appeared in the sky, he already knew that the little dragon was a descendant of the divine dragon. He knew that through this evolution, the excellent bloodline left to the little dragon by its ancestors would be fully activated.
Hearing Chen Nan's affirmative answer, Xiao Chenxi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the phantom of the divine dragon soaring in the air, she sincerely praised, "Compared to the chubby little dragon it used to be, it's really become much more majestic."
Chen Nan carried her outside, saying, "Let's get away from here; the tribulation lightning is about to strike."
After the two retreated a hundred feet, the golden dragon shadows in the void flew down from the sky to the ground and disappeared into the dragon cocoon in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a rumbling thunder sounded in the sky.
At that very moment, the dragon cocoon shattered rapidly, a golden light shot into the sky, and a clear dragon roar pierced the heavens, echoing across the earth. A small dragon, over two meters long, with wings on its ribs and its entire body shimmering with golden light, circled and soared in the air.
Although the little dragon wasn't as enormous as the mythical dragons of legend, it exuded a regal aura, unapproachable and awe-inspiring. Everyone watching from Shenfeng Academy felt an immense pressure; the supreme and mighty aura of a dragon king resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The aura of a true dragon surged into the Hundred Thousand Mountains like a tidal wave, causing countless birds and beasts to prostrate themselves in worship. Simultaneously, in the deepest part of this deathly abyss, within the enormous black hole beneath the cliff, a crimson light shone, and a monstrous demonic energy surged forth from the hole…
The true form of the dragon appeared, and the Divine Wind Academy and the City of Sin were in an uproar. People shouted wildly and waved their arms in the air.
The baby dragon shrank from over two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in length to just over two meters, but its strength increased dramatically. With this evolution, it finally transformed into a sixth-tier divine beast. If it can successfully evade the tribulation lightning, this rebirth will be a complete success.
Just then, the anticipated tribulation of lightning finally appeared. Accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, its intense light blinding everyone.
Faced with the surging lightning, the little dragon remained calm. It opened its mouth and spat out a blazing bolt of lightning, disproportionately large for its size, almost as powerful as the lightning itself.
Two bolts of lightning collided, bursting into a dazzling ball of light in the sky, as bright as the sun. The earth seemed to tremble from the earth-shaking thunder, and a huge energy storm raged through the air, making the sky bright.
With a loud "crack," before the massive energy storm created by the first bolt of lightning had even dissipated, a second bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the little dragon.
