Yuan Tian Power.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!

An actual golden dragon manifested in the sky, descending before their eyes.

"Wait, what the..." Alex's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never witnessed such a sight before. While the world contained its fair share of monsters, encountering a mythological creature like a dragon was beyond extraordinary. Mythical creatures were believed to have gone extinct thousands of years ago.

"It's... IT'S... IT'S... a dragon!" Yin Xia confirmed, her voice quivering with shock. "I thought dragons had vanished long ago... How can this be possible?" She stepped back instinctively. "I hope the protective barrier will hold."

"Yeah..." Alex nodded, fully understanding the gravity of the situation. He had rarely encountered special creatures in this world, and now, standing witness to an actual dragon, he recognized the need for utmost seriousness. He was curious to see how Old Chang would respond.

--

"You awakened a Golden Overlord?" Sect Master Yun Tian's astonishment was evident.

In this world, only a handful of mythical creatures remained, most of them so powerful that few dared to challenge them.

"To exact my revenge, I'm willing to sacrifice anything," Old Chang stared up at the Golden Dragon. "Greetings, Jianglong Tianxia..." he called out to the dragon in the sky.

"Chang, it's been 800 years since we made that contract," the dragon's voice resonated with Old Chang.

"Yes, I apologize for making you wait. But now I need your assistance..." Old Chang sighed. Dragons were exceptionally rare in this world, and if he constantly relied on their power, he would surely become a target everywhere he went.

"What's the situation?" the dragon inquired.

"I need you to help me obliterate everything here," Old Chang's eyes turned cold as he directed his gaze at Yun Tian.

"I'll show you the depths of despair. [GOLDEN DRAGON HUANGLONG]," Old Chang declared.

The dragon smiled and descended rapidly, merging its form with Old Chang's in an instant.

"I won't let you!" Sect Master Yun Tian roared, but he was too late.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Golden aura erupted, engulfing everything in its vicinity.

"Damn it! Retreat now!" Yun Tian's shout echoed through the chaos.

The assembled Elders hastily pulled back.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!

Old Chang underwent a transformation, his long white hair turned to gold, two horns protruded from his head, his attire took on a golden hue, his eyes became golden circles, and his body was enveloped in golden scales that offered formidable protection.

"So... this is the power you've been luring me with," Old Chang mused, his gaze directed inward. "What luring, you're the one who proposed the contract. I simply accepted it. Use it wisely, and ensure you're far away when it's spent. I'll be quite helpful then," a rough voice echoed in his mind before fading away. Old Chang knew this power would not last forever, he also knew he would be absolutely in the mercy of others once this power expired, he needed to finish this fast.

"Let's get on with it, Yun Tian," Old Chang addressed his opponent and vanished from sight.

"SHIT! Such speed!" Yun Tian's shock was evident. However, before he could react, a forceful blow landed.

"AGGHGGHHGH!" Yun Tian cried out in pain.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

He was sent hurtling backward, crashing into a distant mountain.

"SECT MASTER! YOU BASTARD, DIE!" An Elder charged forward, driven by rage.

"NO, STOP!" Elder Bai attempted to intervene, but it was too late.

Old Chang's response was a single, devastating punch.

BANG!!!

The Elder exploded into fragments.

"What is this power!" Elder Bai exclaimed in disbelief.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Yun Tian soared back into view from the place he had been thrown.

"You formed a contract with a dragon?" Yun Tian's voice quivered.

"Yes, I did. Thanks to your actions, I was able to. I will use it to its full extent," Old Chang stated, reappearing before him.

"[3000 Years Sword Slash]," Yun Tian lunged, slashing his sword downward.

Old Chang's eyes widened.

BZZZZZZZSSTTT!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Though Old Chang attempted to block the strike, he was overwhelmed and sent hurtling backward.

Yun Tian, now visibly aged, declared, "I've seen you embrace the demonic side. As the Sect Master, I will carry out my duty and defeat you! [Soul Lifespan Sutra: Absolute Release]." Yuan Tian bellowed, he was drown by longing to his Elder Brother But he had a job, a Sect that he swore to protect.

The could not back down now, and he did exactly that.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A greenish energy enveloped Yun Tian, cocooning him in its midst.

"Damnit!" Old Chang unleashed a punch, attempting to intercept, but the energy was too potent.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The cocoon shattered, revealing a youthful figure – a handsome young man with jet-black hair, dark eyes, and flawless skin. He appeared as if a celestial being, descending from the heavens to pass judgment on the mortal realm.

"With this, I shall face you, Big Brother Chang, in the form you remember..." Yuan Tian's gaze met Old Chang's.

His eyes opened.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A wave of energy emanated from him, healing the injured in the sect and infusing life energy into him. The energy transformed into a more potent force, causing flowers to bloom and trees to grow rapidly throughout the sect. It was a breathtaking sight, evoking awe and warmth. The rejuvenating energy felt like soaring through clouds, a sensation of comfort. The onlookers felt compelled to experience more. As they gazed skyward, they understood the source of this energy, feeling its reassuring presence as it enveloped them, offering protection.

"You've mastered the Soul Lifespan Technique, Yuan Tian. Impressive. But didn't you hear me?" Old Chang's smile held an edge. he was also a little shocked by Yuan Tian's Mastering divine technique, but he was also calm. he knew he could go against him he wanted.

"Hear you?" Yuan Tian regarded him quizzically.

"DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!" Old Chang's bellow reverberated, clouds congregating in the sky. Fully unleashing his power, Old Chang gathered himself for the ultimate showdown. He knew that Yuan Tian was more than a match for him.
