Chapter 53 - Dao Heart (1/2)

A young man with calm demeanor sat in the center of a room. There were beads of sweat in his face, because of the exhaustion he was experiencing. He had already stayed inside this room for consecutive two days.

There was a trace of dragon aura around his figure. An aura filled with authority and power. This aura was feeble and weak for some reason. It can't move freely like how it could before.

This was because of the Divine Sense of the two dragons who were far stronger than Fenlong. He, as a dragon, had an innate fear from his own kin who's stronger than him. This fear isn't something that could be conquered in a single week.

Fenlong understood his weakness. He was grateful that Tatsuya allowed him to get used to the suffocating pressure. He can't help but feel disappointed over himself, because he knew that he was being a burden.

Bang!

Suddenly, Fenlong's pair of eyes opened. The dragon aura around him tried to resist the terrifying Divine Sense that hovered across the whole country. His willpower and determination can't help but tremble before the terrifying might.

He could feel his innate fear towards his powerful kin, as he suppressed it with his all might. He could feel his struggle gradually becoming useless. He can't resist the Divine Sense even after staking everything he had.

He felt gloomy, as his eyes darkened. He can't give up just because of his many failed attempts. Tatsuya, his master, came here with him to find and hunt someone. This someone was powerful enough to threaten Tatsuya, and Fenlong can't stand the thought that he's still a burden!

”I can't give up!”

He shouted with determination. The dragon aura around his body suddenly gained some vitality, as it attempted to resist the terrifying Dragon Aura that covered the whole country. His eyes looked back at the ceiling, seeing through to the sky.

Roar!

A very powerful dragon howl resounded across the whole Grass Leaf Village. This roar reached the neighboring regions, as they all looked with alertness on their gaze.

The howl was filled with stubbornness, seemingly ready to defy the heavens. The sky retreated and made way for the howl to reach the sky.

However, it wasn't so easy. The terrifying Divine Sense of the two Divine Dragons, who were the lackeys of the Dragon God, immediately intercepted the howl. The howl seemed feeble before the terrifying Dragon Aura.

Even then, Fenlong isn't the kind of dragon who would just give up. He knew that if he retreated right now, he would sustain injuries beyond saving. Injury that can't be healed, because if he gave up, the fact that he didn't fought till the end, will destroy his Dao Heart.

Dao Heart is something that all cultivators possess. It can be the said as the pride of cultivators. Cultivators are beings who are destined to defy the heavens, and ultimately surpass it. Something like an obstacle shouldn't be enough to stop them!

Boom!

Lightning streaked across the sky, as Fenlong resisted the astonishing dragon aura. His dragon aura seemed weak and little before the gigantic and powerful aura of the two Divine Dragons. But, his aura contained the sense of stubbornness that no calamity could affect.

Tatsuya, who was watching all of this, has a smile on his face. He watched the turning point of Fenlong's life, as he could sense that Fenlong was evolving. It was an evolution that would shake the heavens and earth upon completion. Fenlong was reaching the stage where dragons would be become true dragons that could make everything tremble!

The dragon aura from Fenlong gazed back at the terrifying Divine Sense that covered the whole sky. His dragon aura formed a translucent golden dragon figure that emitted a heaven-defying aura. It was bowing down even before the Divine Sense that could rip across the entire Blue Pole Star if it wanted to.

Roaarr!

The golden dragon figure roared against the heavens, as it resisted the Divine Sense until it ultimately broke the chains that was bounding him to the earth. The sound of chains shattering could be heard from the sky.

The howl of the dragon resounded across the whole country, shaking the citizens, cultivators, and profound beasts. They were astonished, as they all looked at the sky with alertness and awe.

”You dare!”

A resounding shout suddenly echoed across the sky. This shout made Fenlong tremble in agitation. His golden dragon aura suddenly become unstable, it could break any moment now!

The shout actually came from the dragon who was one of the two dragons who deployed the terrifying Divine Sense. The authority and disdain was evident in the tone. The shout was challenging Fenlong to attempt his resistance again, while threatening him.
