Qingyi put the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword in its sheath, an intense light running through the purplish-silver blade.
In the next mont, a colossal figure appeared in front of the two of them, its body stretching more than sixty ters in length.
her huge black wings flapped as her jaw full of razor-sharp teeth let out a loud, voracious roar.
It was Khaedryss.
She had already completely absorbed everything she had eaten over the last few months and during the short ti that Ruxue had allowed her into the hunting region, she had halved the number of beasts present.
Just two days, hundreds of dead spirit beasts.
She only stopped hunting because Ruxue and Elize intervened, otherwise she would have completely devoured all the beasts Qingyi had bought.
Of course, despite being interrupted midway, Khaedryss was still able to strengthen herself greatly and was now certainly not below the realm of the false immortal in raw power.
The huge dragon shook her head, her eyes still slightly sleepy as she turned towards Qingyi, bringing her muzzle close to his face.
"Good girl..." He smiled, patting the black scales before, with one smooth movent, jumping onto her back.
Qianyao stood just below, her shocked eyes focused on Khaedryss.
She could feel the beast's blood; it was also draconic blood, although fundantally different from her own.
"You really are a mysterious man..." She whispered, also jumping on Khaedryss' back.
She initially planned to sit right behind Qingyi, but he imdiately grabbed her, pulling her onto his lap.
With a powerful beat of her wings, Khaedryss took off, opened her jaw and then breathed out.
A sea of flas followed from the depths of her throat, hot enough to lt steel, spreading for hundreds of ters in front of them.
Qianyao cringed, feeling the heat and moving her Qi to protect herself. But she stopped at the last mont, feeling Qingyi's gentle embrace wrap around her delicate waist.
They were engulfed by the sea of flas, Khaedryss' huge body spinning in the air before erging from the clouds of flas with a bestial roar.
She continued to rise until she was just above the height of the clouds before leveling off, her huge body moving at the speed of sound towards the huge tree on the horizon.
Honestly, Qingyi had to admit that this place was much, much bigger than it looked.
Even with Khaedryss flying at top speed, it would still take hours to get there.
At first, he thought it was sothing like the world of the mind, but now, he realized that it was much simpler than that, just bending space so that an entire world could fit inside a small cave.
Of course, it was still an incredible feat of spiritual engineering, with the cost equivalent to the price of buying entire nations, but still infinitely inferior to the world of the mind.
As they flew, Qianyao just let herself relax, soon realizing sothing as she slled Qingyi.
"Can I feel your lineage Qi?" she asked.
Qingyi didn't think much of it, raising his palm in front of Qianyao's face and releasing a single thread of draconic Qi.
Qianyao studied that Qi for a brief mont before her face contorted in shock.
It was stronger than before and not just in quantity, it was even denser, beyond what a simple advance was capable of causing.
Qingyi's own blood seed to have changed, being at this very mont, purer than before.
"How?" Qianyao raised her face to Qingyi's, still unable to believe her
own senses.
Improving a lineage and constitution wasn't exactly impossible, but it almost always required transcendental pills or, even in the rarest of cases, tribulations or incomparable spirit arrays.
Qianyao knew that Qingyi hadn't been through anything like that.
Pills would leave traces that would only fade after many hours and well, the other possibilities were pretty easy to figure out. Qingyi smiled, already realizing what was going through Qianyao's mind.
But before he could even speak, sothing interrupted him.
Khaedryss' mana beca agitated and she looked down, roaring towards the forest.
The next mont, from the depths of that sea of green, a pulse of Qi erged, turning into a ball of flas and flying towards Khaedryss. Hundreds more also appeared, all converging on the huge dragon in the sky.
"Khaedryss, dive!" Qingyi ordered, releasing Qianyao so that she could move freely.
That was dangerous.
Khaedryss didn't even need to hear Qingyi's words to move, her jaw
opening in a powerful gust of fla that engulfed all the projectiles sent towards them, lting most of them.
The few that got through were already weakened, hitting Khaedryss' black scales as if they were nothing more than lted toothpicks. She descended thousands of ters in a single mont, and didn't seem interested in slowing down even a little.
At the last mont, Qingyi and Qianyao jumped off her back as she
hit the ground, still spitting flas.
An explosion echoed throughout the forest as the huge, tens-of-ton beast hit the ground at supersonic speed, its flas engulfing everything around it, vaporizing trees and enemies.
The ground opened up for hundreds of ters, slabs of stone and
earth splitting into deep fissures that were soon engulfed by
Khaedryss' flas.
Over an area of more than a kiloter, there was nothing left but blackened ash and cracked earth, Khaedryss' huge body resting in a crater, her jaw clenched around the neck of a beast.
It was a strangely humanoid fla wolf, although still covered in fur and looking much more quadrupedal, despite walking on two legs. Its body was easily over thirty ters high, just a little lower than the
trees in the area.
On its back, it carried projectiles similar to tal spears.
Qingyi and Qianyao stood just over fifty ters above the ground, watching as Khaedryss began to devour its still-living prey.
That creature was in the early stages of the false immortal realm and would certainly be a great al for Khaedryss.
"So that's why so many fail and have to use escape tokens.." Qingyi said, feeling hundreds of Qi surround them.
