"Get back here, you pesky snakes!" a large beast roared, its voice rumbling through the forest as it charged after its prey.
If any of the Dao Wind Continent's cultivators were to witness this scene, they would have been both shocked and terrified. The beast chasing through the underbrush was a figure of legend, well-known across the Empire.
It was none other than the Blue Drake, the serpentine overlord of the forest north of the Capital Region.
The Blue Drake's lithe, sinuous body undulated like flowing water, its shimmering cerulean scales refracting light into a dazzling spectrum of blues. Each scale seemed alive, pulsing faintly with an inner glow, as though harboring the essence of a tranquil lake.
