Chapter 370

True Dragons belonged to the pinnacle of existence among the Divine Beasts.

When a Divine Beast reached maturity, it would automatically cross the barrier of the Divine Soul and become a Level Three lifeform. As for the True Dragon, as a top-notch existence among the Divine Beasts, it was born as a Level Three lifeform. It simply skipped the process of crossing the Divine Barrier.

Once humans reached the third level of life, they would be called True Gods. In Gu Ding's era, True Gods were almost legendary existences.

The True Dragon condensed from Gu Ding's flames was, of course, not a real True Dragon. It was just an afterimage of a True Dragon projected through the effects of Skyburn. Even if it was just an afterimage, it was already frightening enough.

In the void, after the three fire pythons began to fuse, the speed at which their bodies were expanding slowed down slightly. The image of the true dragon also gradually solidified, emitting waves of powerful pressure that did not belong to this world.

"Such a powerful cultivation technique must have originated from the Ancient Era, or even the Immemorial Era." Above the 1000th floor, the old man who was sitting on the recliner also sat up lazily. He looked at the fiery dragon above Gu Ding's head with a burning gaze.

There were no humans in the Great Desolate Era, and humans were only born in the Immemorial Era. Every human in that era was an incomparably powerful individual. Almost every newborn baby was a True God-level powerhouse, and they weren't any weaker than the most powerful Divine Beast Race.

Later on, the Primordial Era was destroyed. By the time of the Primordial Era, many living beings were no longer as strong as the Primordial Era. Humans, on the other hand, could still reach the power of the Primordial Era through cultivation. At that time, humans were the rulers of the Cosmic Sea.

After the destruction of the Primordial Era, the Primordial Era, the Middle Era, and the Near Ancient Era, powerful bloodlines and genes had gradually thinned out. The inheritances of various civilizations were also continuously lost. Until now, the number of True Gods was extremely small.

In this era, the strongest race in the Great Cosmos Sea had become the weakest race of the Primordial Era, the Bug Race. In the Immemorial and Ancient Eras, the Insectoids were basically the food source of all the other races. They were existences at the bottom of the hierarchy. Apart from their astonishing reproductive ability, they had almost no other strong points.

However, in this era, the Bug Tribe viewed all other races as prey in the Great Cosmic Sea. Their favorite food was none other than humans. Most of the time, when humans fought in the Outer Realms, their opponents were the Zergs.

Many thoughts flashed through the old man's mind when he saw Gu Ding's move. He shook his head helplessly when he thought of the unfavorable situation that humans were currently facing in the Grand Cosmic Sea. He retracted his attention and looked back at the video projection.

Above Gu Ding's head, the True Dragon gradually took shape. It was hundreds of meters tall, and its power was terrifying.

In the ring opposite Gu Ding, Phaser did not seem to be affected by the True Dragon's coercion at all. The longsword in his hand was completely dyed scarlet. After the longsword changed color, a black projection that was hundreds of meters tall slowly condensed above his head. As time passed, the black projection gradually became clearer. It was an expert wrapped in a black robe. His entire head was covered by the brim of his hat, making it impossible to see his face. Only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen.

"Is this Emperor Projection?!" Liliath could not help but look at Biggie and ask.

Biggie nodded. "It's the Emperor's projection. His attainments in swordsmanship aren't enough to summon the Emperor's projection. This projection was summoned with the help of that longsword, but it's already very impressive."

Biggie's evaluation was naturally not false. After all, he was a powerhouse who could summon the Emperor Projection.

Above the ring, whether it was the True Dragon made of flames or the Emperor Projection condensed in the Void, countless people were excited.

Many people might not have the chance to witness such a pinnacle duel in their lifetime, but they were able to see it now. Moreover, some of them were lucky enough to be there.

Above the Void, the True Flame Dragon and the black-robed Emperor materialized almost at the same time.

The True Flame Dragon's pair of golden eyes instantly locked onto Phaser, who was standing opposite Gu Ding. Finally, Phaser felt a sense of coercion like a tidal wave.

Under the brim of the black-robed Emperor's hat, a pair of scarlet eyes were also locked onto Gu Ding. Gu Ding instantly felt a chill of death rise up his back.

Gu Ding and Phaser moved at the same time.

Gu Ding threw a punch, and the True Flame Dragon suddenly opened its bloody mouth, spewing out flames that seemed like they could destroy the world …

Phaser had already thrust out the red longsword in her hand. The black-robed Emperor's robe fluttered, and the darkness was like the descent of night …

The two frantically occupied the ring, and in an instant, the entire space of the ring turned into a sea of fire and darkness.

As for Gu Ding and Phaser, they were completely submerged.

Many of the spectators could only see that half of the ring was dyed black, and the other half was covered in tri-colored flames. No one could see what was happening inside the sea of fire and darkness.

The powerhouses above the 1000th floor could not see through it. Biggie and Ayesha could not see through it, and even the old man above the 1000th floor could not see through it.

Gu Ding was bathed in the sea of fire, and his body was completely covered in flames. However, it did not cause him any harm. Instead, it made him feel warm. It felt like bathing in the sun on a cold winter's day, and his whole body felt comfortable. Even the cold haze that the Emperor Projection had brought was completely dispelled.

Gu Ding did not know how much time had passed before he heard a soft clicking sound. At the same time, Phaser, who was shrouded in darkness, spat out a mouthful of blood. His God Source was not as strong as Gu Ding's, and the Emperor Projection could not last as long as his opponent's True Flame Dragon. The Dark Emperor Projection gradually dimmed, and a gap was torn in the Dark Sky Canopy that occupied half of the ring, and the flames began to slowly seep in.

Gu Ding was also aware of what was happening in that instant. He knew that he had won because of the richness of his God Source. Although his opponent was strong, his foundation was still much weaker than Gu Ding's. The strength of his God Source was not on the same level as Gu Ding's.

As the first crack appeared, the second and third cracks appeared one after another. The Emperor Projection above Phaser's head became fainter and fainter, and finally, it completely disintegrated.

After the Emperor Projection collapsed, the Dark Sky Canopy lost its support and was quickly swallowed up by the flames. In an instant, the tri-colored flames completely engulfed the entire ring.

Phaser, who was touched by the flames, was instantly disintegrated into particles. When he opened his eyes again, he had been transported out of the ring. His hair had also returned to its original color.

After his victory, Gu Ding did not continue to maintain the True Flame Dragon. The True Flame Dragon gradually faded in the void, and the tri-colored flames all flowed into Gu Ding's Soul Space.

When the flames completely disappeared, Gu Ding's figure was revealed. There was not a single burn mark on his body. After the tri-colored flames entered his body, he clearly felt that the three flames in his Soul Space seemed to have become a little stronger.

Gu Ding was quickly transported out of the ring and appeared next to Phaser.

Phaser did not seem upset. Instead, he smiled and shook his head. "My foundation is still not as good as yours."

"Do you want to join our crew?" Gu Ding directly invited him.

"When you enter the Cosmic Sea, I want to fight you again in the real world," Phaser said as his gaze swept over Biggie and the others not far away. "If I lose, I will join your crew. However, you must promise me one thing. Even if I join your crew, if I defeat you one day, I can leave whenever I want. "

"No problem." Gu Ding grinned. He had won this time and was very confident that he could defeat Phaser the next time. Therefore, to him, it was basically a done deal that Phaser would join his crew.

On the other hand, Phaser knew that it was unlikely that he would join Gu Ding's crew because he was about to capture his second powerful Blademaster Soul. After the Blademaster's Blademaster Soul was captured, his Sword Dao would be greatly improved, and it was very likely that he would enter the second major level of Sword Dao, the Consonance Level. His soul would also break through to the level of a Middle Rank deity. After the breakthrough of his soul, the resources he had would quickly elevate his physical body and God Source to the level of a Middle Rank deity. His only shortcoming would also be completely made up for.

Gu Ding, however, did not know any of this. He walked straight toward Liliath and the others.

After some small talk, the bell rang in the sky again, and the sweet female voice soon rang again.

"Congratulations, Gu Ding, for successfully breaking through the blockade of powerhouse Phaser on the 1,000th floor. You have completed an eighty consecutive victories and have jumped to the 1,000th floor of the Arena!"

This news shocked many powerhouses above the 1,000th floor who did not watch Gu Ding's match. Phaser was above the 1,000th floor and was considered a little famous. Many powerhouses had high praise for him, but Phaser was defeated. This caused many people to immediately click on the battle video.

At this point, all five members of Gu Ding's crew had won eighty consecutive victories in the War God Arena and had successfully broken through to the 1,000th floor.

Once they reached the 800th floor, they would receive direct access to the Cosmic Sea. For Gu Ding and the others, it meant that all of them had passed and did not need to stay in the Great Border River any longer.

Neptune immediately steered the spaceship forward at full speed toward the star sector where the Dragon Rebel River was located.

"When we reach the Dragon Rebel Star Sector, we can rest a little and replenish the spaceship's resources. The space in the Dragon Rebel River is very unstable, so we can't perform a space jump. We can only fly. I've calculated the voyage time, and it will take about thirty days. There are no stops during these thirty days, so the spaceship must have enough power and take into account the loss of some unexpected situations. "

"Looks like we'll have to buy a lot of ingredients." Biggie seemed to be in a good mood. He could take advantage of this time to learn some new dishes.

"I haven't gone shopping in a long time." Liliath, on the other hand, held Ayesha's arm and smiled happily.

"Thirty days. That's six hundred days in Robert's Domain. My strength should improve again." Gu Ding nodded. At this thought, Gu Ding grinned. "Dragon Rebel Star Sector, let's go!"
