Chapter 800: 800 - A dragon’s breath (02)
Qingyi could no longer hold back, allowing his draconic form to expand to its maximum size—dozens of kilometers from snout to tail tip.
The distant stars seemed to shrink in the face of the vastness of that body, and the void itself bent around his black scales.
His powerful claws clamped down on either side of the asteroid, and the celestial body’s own gravity bent before the dragon’s colossal mass, the surrounding space warping like fabric crumpled by invisible hands.
Its colossal jaw opened directly over the fortress, and the bandit leader shuddered from head to toe.
Was that... death?
He stood at the pinnacle of the realm of cosmic dominion, and he could sense, with absolute clarity, that in terms of cultivation level, that dragon was weaker than he was.
Yet he could not move a single muscle.
His lungs emptied of air, even though he was inside the artificial atmosphere enveloping the fortress, and his entire body stiffened, frozen in the face of that overwhelming presence.
He saw into the depths of the beast’s throat and beheld endless rows of sharp teeth the size of buildings, each one gleaming like a polished blade in that bottomless abyss.
And then, from the depths of that throat, he saw a sea of purple flames surging forth, tearing through the void toward him like a divine storm poised to devour worlds.
The fortress’s protective barriers activated immediately, but they held out for only a brief moment.
Like thin glass under a heavy hammer, they shattered, and the sea of purple flames poured over the fortress, engulfing everyone there and sinking into the asteroid.
Qingyi did not cease to rain death upon those bandits for even a single moment.
The black rock beneath his claws was reduced to reddish magma, and luminous cracks snaked across the asteroid’s entire surface, incandescent veins cutting through the dead rock.
He squeezed a little harder, and the asteroid split apart like a parched shell.
His black claws sank into the molten rock until they reached the Qi vein inside—a gigantic luminous sphere, the pulsating core of it all.
He halted the blast of flames, opened his colossal jaws once more, and then swallowed the Qi vein in a single gulp.
If this had happened in his human body, he would have exploded into pieces, but his draconic form was far too powerful to even perceive that amount of energy as a challenge.
Qingyi’s eyes in his draconic form—giant, with inhuman pupils, a deep purple that seemed to contain a sea of nebulae scattered across the cosmos—glowed.
His cultivation skyrocketed, advancing three minor realms in a single instant, as the vein of Qi spread to every corner of his colossal body.
After absorbing it completely, a satisfied and smiling Qingyi returned to his human form, his eyes falling upon his own status screen.

He surveyed his wealth for a brief moment, then let out a soft sigh.
It had dropped a little, but there was still enough left for everything he needed.
He elegantly clasped his hands behind his back, located the sect’s space, and, without hesitation, opened a spatial rift in front of him.
Honestly, he was a little disappointed.
Not with his own power—being able to shatter an asteroid of that size so easily was no small feat.
He was just disappointed by how weak those bandits had proven to be.
They should at least have put up a fight.
"Ah... it’s only natural," he murmured as he materialized inside the sect, gliding through the air a few dozen meters above the ground. "They’re bandits, with no base and no interest in forming one."
Qingyi shook his head.
After all, ruthless methods were far easier for amassing power.
If the leader of that group had joined the sect, he could at the very least have become an inner disciple and, in the future, retired as an instructor or even a junior elder.
He didn’t do that because that was the hard path.
He would have had to win over beautiful women, secure resources, and work to build a foundation.
As a bandit, he could take beautiful women by force, steal resources—and who cares about a foundation?
Among bandits, the only thing that matters is raw cultivation.
With another sigh, Qingyi walked to his adoptive mother’s new palace. Without disturbing her, he immediately secluded himself in a reinforced cultivation chamber.
He finally had enough lust points to elevate his bloodline to the primordial rank.
Honestly, he was still a little confused about the final rank the system had mentioned: the Creation Grade.
In the Celestial Heaven, the Primordial Grade was the highest, which meant that upon reaching that level, he would already be at the very pinnacle of the Celestial Heaven.
Ironically, it only took one Star Sovereign for him to reach a level where his talent would be on par with any absolute genius from the Central Region.
"Ah... System, isn’t this a bit too unbalanced?"
[I wasn’t designed to be balanced. I am a inheritance system; my goal is to make you grow as fast as possible and fully assimilate my master’s bloodline.
As for the Creation Grade, you’ll learn more about it when you reach the land of the true gods.]
Qingyi sighed and, without further hesitation, clicked to enhance both his bloodline and his constitution.
[Oh... 800 Chapters already, huh?
Time has flown by so fast it doesn’t even feel real, hahaha. I remember when I was still at 200 Chapters, eagerly awaiting the thousand. Well, here we are. Only 200 more to go until a thousand.
Thank you to everyone who’s read this far. Tomorrow we’ll be back with longer Chapters. (I’m trying, I promise. Writing is hard, hahaha)
The story of CDG is far from over.]
