Chapter 490 145: Seizing Dragon Island (2)

Feeling the cold killing intent of the Black Dragon Lord, Ignis felt extremely heavy-hearted.

It was in a deep struggle internally.

Thoughts flashed through its mind rapidly, and soon, Ignis made a decision.

It quietly informed the legendary metal dragons on Dragon Island to move Dragon Island out of the Tal Plane and head to other planes.

....

North Sea, the place where Dragon Island was located.

A group of legendary metal dragons, after receiving the notification from Ignis, gathered a large number of metal dragon offspring, and under the control of a Tier Four Golden Dragon leading the group, Dragon Island activated its plane-traversing capability.

"Are we really leaving Tal?" a legendary Silver Dragon said unwillingly.

"Yeah, even if that Black Dragon wants to dominate and rule Tal, Tal Plane is so huge. We are in the North Sea, and there would be no conflict with it," a legendary Brass Dragon said, puzzled.

The Tier Four Golden Dragon, also the offspring of Ignis, the second strongest dragon on Dragon Island, surveyed the group of dragons and spoke with a heavy tone,

"Father said we must leave."

"That Black Dragon has set its sights on our Dragon Island, and Father is stalling it for time so we can leave."

As it spoke, Dragon Island was fully charged, a dazzling teleportation array appeared below the island, and with a swoosh, Dragon Island disappeared from the Tal Plane.

Outside of Tal, within the Star Realm Void.

A towering blue-skinned giant, over a kilometer tall, stood in the void, and its closed eyes suddenly opened with a cruel smile,

"Found it."

Since Udi had set his sights on Dragon Island, he certainly wouldn't let it escape.

So from early on, he had arranged for the Sea Abyss End Messenger 'Die' to keep an eye on Dragon Island.

Once Dragon Island tried to flee, it would intercept them.

Unlike individual beings which can directly teleport to other planes, due to the massive bulk of a floating island, an enormous amount of energy would be required to directly teleport to another material plane.

The greater the distance from the target location, the more energy is required.

The Metal Dragon Clan aimed to reach a medium material plane over a hundred light-years away from Tal.

At this distance, even exhausting Dragon Island's energy accumulated over millennia wouldn't allow teleportation, necessitating a void journey taking decades.

After Dragon Island teleported to the void outside Tal, the legendary dragons on the island didn't immediately begin the void travel. Instead, they were embroiled in a dispute with one another.

"Let's wait a bit more until Lord Ignis returns."

"In the Star Realm, no matter how strong that Black Dragon is, it's merely Tier Five and not a match for Lord Ignis."

While the legendary giant dragons were speaking, a blue-skinned giant over a kilometer tall crossed thousands of kilometers in one step, reaching in front of Dragon Island within a few steps.

Before the metal dragons could react, the End Messenger extended a massive hand, enlarging until it reached a colossal diameter of several hundred kilometers, capturing the mere hundred-kilometer-wide Dragon Island within its grasp.

At this moment, the aura emanating from the End Messenger was terrifying to the extreme, far surpassing Udi.

Level 27 High Rank was the original rank of the End Messenger, unrestricted by plane limitations.

The peak power Udi could muster was only equivalent to an ordinary Level 25 High Rank individual, falling short by two full levels compared to the Level 27 High Rank. Moreover, the End Messenger was no weakling amongst its tier, its power at least dozens of times greater than Udi's.

In a confrontation with the End Messenger Die in the Star Realm, Udi would almost certainly perish unless he used his void travel ability.

As for the small, limit-tier Dragon Island, although capable of unleashing power comparable to the Level 27 tier, it was piloted merely by a Tier Four Golden Dragon which hadn't even attained high-tier legendary status, unable to fully unleash Dragon Island's limit-tier power.

Even if its limit-tier power could be unleashed, it would likely still be detained by the End Messenger 'Die'.

After all, the former is merely an inanimate object, a tool.

Within the giant palm, Dragon Island struggled incessantly, but under the terrifying power, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't escape the clasp of the giant hand.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants!" the End Messenger 'Die' said with indifferent disdain.

A blue halo rapidly spread from its center, enveloping Dragon Island as well.

Sea Abyss Domain!

The domain is a unique rule domain possessed by high-tier legendary beings who mastered Star Realm rules to a certain degree.

Beyond that lies the Divine Domain owned by deities.

In the rule domain, all beings whose power is inferior to it would experience immense oppression, reducing their power to the extreme.

On Dragon Island, a group of legendary dragons under the Sea Abyss Domain's oppression crawled inside the great hall, barely able to move.

The End Messenger 'Die', seeing this, clasped the sky-covering energy giant hand and swept its powerful mind across Dragon Island, sealing the dragons within red crystals.

The dragons fell into slumber, and without a controlling master, Dragon Island hovered silently.

The End Messenger 'Die' stepped onto Dragon Island, locating the Elemental Pool's core, and began to forcefully refine it.

The various powerful spells set upon it were dismantled one after another under the End Messenger 'Die's' dominant and terrifying strength.

"Hmm."

Having dismantled hundreds of protective spells, the End Messenger 'Die' encountered an extremely firm protective secret technique.

"Is this the High-tier Forbidden Curse: Star Core Guardian?" The knowledgeable End Messenger 'Die' quickly identified the origin of the protective forbidden curse.

It is known that only beings who reached high-tier legendary caster levels could utilize high-tier forbidden curses.

"Could this be set by the high-tier legendary Golden Dragon who left this Dragon Island millennia ago?" the End Messenger 'Die' speculated internally.

It seems that the high-tier legendary Golden Dragon was no simple being.

Not only did its biological tier reach high-tier legendary, but its caster level also attained high-tier legendary.

"Nevertheless, it's useless, just a bit more time-consuming." The End Messenger 'Die' chuckled coldly.

If that legendary high-tier Golden Dragon were here to actively activate the star core guardian forbidden curse, the End Messenger 'Die' would indeed have no way to deal with it.

The Star Core Guardian, in the realm of high-tier forbidden curses, is considered an extremely powerful one, capable of withstanding attacks up to Level 29 if the caster's mana was sufficient to sustain it.

But without a master to control it, the Star Core Guardian, no matter how strong, would eventually be worn down and dismantled by the End Messenger 'Die'.

.....

Dusk Island, inside the Black Castle.

A Giant Black Dragon and a giant ancient Golden Dragon were in a standoff.

Neither side had made a move.

The former appeared leisurely, while the latter was vigilant.

Udi glanced at the ancient Golden Dragon, feeling a bit bored.

This guy had been extremely wary from the start, leaving no opportunity to capture it in a surprise attack.

Udi originally contemplated launching a surprise capture and then converting it into a void follower, but under such heightened vigilance, the odds of a surprise attack were virtually zero.

Ignis, after all, was a high-level legendary ancient Golden Dragon with extraordinary magical mastery, capable of instantly departing if alerted, leaving Udi powerless to stop it.

During the tedious standoff, a trace of a smile suddenly appeared in the brown-yellow vertical pupils of Udi.

The End Messenger 'Die' sent the message that Dragon Island had been captured and was currently being refined and dismantled.

Slow to receive this news, Ignis's expression changed with rage and shock, glaring at the Black Dragon Lord before flickering out of sight as its dragon body teleported away.

Evidently, it went to support Dragon Island.

Seeing this, Udi chuckled coldly,

"Izuna, go assist Die in action, stop that ancient Golden Dragon."

The Seven-Colored Merfolk Wang Lan, beneath the Black Dragon, had eyes glinting brightly, a respectful yet excited expression swiftly nodding,

"Rest assured, Master."

With a faint light, Izuna vanished.

Izuna and Ignis were of the same level, both being Level 25 high-tier legendary.

However, Izuna was Level 25 High Rank, while Ignis was just at the newly broken Level 25 Low Rank. Although Ignis was an ancient Golden Dragon, having received the gifts from Udi and possessing a void body transformed by void power, Izuna's strength had significantly increased, enough to suppress or even defeat Ignis.
