Chapter 494 147: Breakthrough, High-tier Legendary! (Part 2)

In the outside world, an adult Black Scale Dragon Man is merely among the elite of middle-level strength, while a Red Flame Dragon Person can barely reach advanced level upon adulthood.

However, in the Black Wing Nest, these two Dragon People, who already have a strong foundation and potential, can mostly be promoted to Master Strength within about ten years.

At this tense moment, a towering figure, thousands of meters tall, slowly emerged on Dragon Island.

Upon seeing the gigantic Sea Giant, a group of Dragonman Guards, who at most only reached seven meters in height, stiffened instantly, overwhelmed by the powerful and terrifying aura that almost paralyzed them.

However, it was evident that the blue-skinned Giant bore no malice towards them; otherwise, merely the pressure could potentially lead to the death of any Dragonman Guard other than those who have reached legendary status.

The Master Level Dragon Guards are really too fragile before the blue-skinned Giant.

Although the guards couldn't recognize the blue-skinned Giant, considering End Messenger Die seldom showed up in Black Wing Nest and has just been converted to Void Followers, most void creatures within Black Wing Nest are very unfamiliar with it.

Yet, the familiar aura of the same origin from End Messenger Die stabilized their hearts.

Ah, it's a companion.

"Sir, please forgive our rudeness." The leading Black Scale Dragonman, reaching Tier Two, stepped forward, bending humbly.

Thousands of Dragonman Guards followed suit, bending their backs.

Watching this scene, End Messenger Die exhaled white air from its large nostrils, its expression softening somewhat, appearing satisfied.

With its power, status, and achievements, even killing a few low-tier legendary Dragon People wouldn't incur punishment.

The competition within Black Wing Nest is certainly fierce.

Void creatures below advanced level have virtually no life security and can offer their lives to the Black Dragon Lord at any moment or become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The advanced and Master Level void creatures fare slightly better; the former serve as premium cannon fodder while the latter mostly act as elite guards, watching over the core locations of the Black Wing Nest or dispersed across Tal Plane, commanding Void Legions to manage local affairs.

Despite that, void followers at or below Master Level are not restricted from killing each other.

With the ability for void followers to resurrect, and the strength of deceased followers returning to the source, the Black Dragon Lord quietly promotes such tendencies.

What tendencies?

In the Black Wing Nest, the strong have the right to deprive the weak as long as there isn't a large-scale massacre or exceeding the slaughter rate within one's own level, they won't face punishment.

This tendency also leads Black Wing Nest to uphold power supremacy, with the weak daring not to disrespect the strong under the assurance of resurrection.

Even a Master Level follower, if they die repeatedly, might not be resurrected by the Black Dragon Lord.

Because the Black Dragon Lord would likely categorize them as waste, existing with no potential but mere levels.

Only by reaching Legendary Tier can one escape this tendency, gaining life security.

But this isn't absolute.

With the emergence of End Messenger Die and Seven-Colored Merfolk Izuna, the status of legendary followers within the Black Wing Nest declined sharply.

Facing suppression by transcend tier beings, the previously arrogant and domineering legendary followers among billions of void creatures in Black Wing Nest, now mellowed greatly.

.....

The enormous black dragon rested on the thousand-meter 'mattress' piled with various magic precious metals and rare spiritual objects, eyes closed.

After enduring endless Abyss battles over eight or nine years followed by two continuous years converting End Messenger Die and Seven-Colored Merfolk Izuna almost non-stop, the consumption was immense, leaving Udi somewhat weary.

The best remedy for exhaustion is a comfortable sleep.

Even though Udi recently assigned an important task to its two high-tier legendary followers, it hardly cared.

In truth, it was quite confident in the capabilities of these two followers.

"Master, the subordinate has completed the task."

The sea giant, originally thousands of meters tall, shrank to several tens of meters, kneeling humbly beside the 130-meter-long black dragon, adopting an extremely submissive demeanor.

It was hard to fathom this being could be a Level 27 High Rank powerhouse, capable of obliterating a small material plane with a palm.

"Mm, I know." Udi's subtly opened dragon eyes let out a sliver of gaze, its dragon mouth gently opening to expel a stream of pure Void Power at the sea giant kneeling before it.

The pure Void Power instantly transformed into a special power, merging into the sea giant's body, enhancing its void origin within, slightly elevating its potential to breakthrough limit, and also improving the efficiency of strength absorption.

End Messenger Die gleamed slightly with joy upon receiving the reward.

Under the master's exceptionally pure Void Power reward, its previously near-to-breach state was now just a whisker away.

"With another million demons devoured, I can break through Level 28," End Messenger Die murmured with excitement.

The Tier 27 that had restrained it for several millennia was finally nearing breakthrough.

Die had originally thought it would stay at Tier 27 until its lifespan ended, yet didn't expect to have a day where a breakthrough was so easily within reach.

And still, it's far from reaching its potential limit now.

"Perhaps, I can ascend the divine throne!" End Messenger Die's eyes burned with fervent pursuit.

After accepting the reward power, End Messenger Die wisely withdrew.

Already somewhat fatigued, Udi felt even wearier after rewarding its subordinate.

"Hmm, sleep awhile, upon waking, commence the breakthrough to high-tier legendary," Udi contemplated.

No need to delay further.

Four or five years prior, it could have let tens of billions of followers donate their strength for its breakthrough to high-tier legendary.

Now, accumulating enhancement from the Banquet over four or five years brought it closer to high-tier legendary, and the power contributed by fallen followers in these years advanced it further.

Now, perhaps only less than two billion low-level Void Followers' power is needed to surpass this threshold.

Don't be misled by the massive numbers; the breakthrough concerns high-tier legendary, especially for Udi's terrifying physique and limit at high-tier legendary.

Under the same tier, Udi could even torment and kill Mother of Deep Red Alexrela, who is nearly invincible and rarely challenged within the same level, further illustrating Udi's dragon body accommodating limits are at least dozens to hundreds of times that of a typically high-tier legendary first entrant, even more.

....

Udi slumbered for a full three months.

Three months later, the giant black dragon awoke, stretching lazily within the radiant palace, releasing its formidable aura uninhibitedly.

The black dragon opened those brown-yellow vertical dragon eyes, feeling the utmost comfort and optimal state of its dragon body, smiling satisfactorily.

"Time for the breakthrough."

In the next instant, as Udi's mind stirred, one after another, low-level void followers dispersed in Tal Plane saw their bodies turn to ash.

One billion

Two billion

In a flash, ten billion low-level void followers were extinguished.

"A little more is needed," Udi murmured.

Eleven billion, twelve billion... as it reached fifteen billion five hundred million, a massive power convergence shattered the barrier before high-tier legendary, directly stepping over it.

Tremendous power erupted within Udi's dragon body.

The consciousness of Tal Plane immediately started pressing, attempting to drive out this being that exceeded its accommodating limit from the plane.

Udi, a step before being expelled by the plane's consciousness, shattered space and entered the void.

At this point, its power continued to rise inexorably.

Onefold, twofold, threefold....

A few days passed, and Udi's power soared over twenty times its original strength!

Its battle power, originally equivalent to Level 25 High Rank, can now possibly contend with Level 27 powerhouses.
