"The dragon has finally shown itself!"
"Everyone be careful!"
A smile flashed across Li Yao's face.
Such a terrifying entrance must mean that the dragon has awakened.
"The dragon has awakened!"
"The dragon has finally awakened!"
"Great! With the dragon's protection, we're finally saved!"
"..."
The old chieftain of the aquatic tribe snapped out of his shock and immediately beamed with joy, kowtowing repeatedly to the churning lake of fire.
The other aquatic people were also extremely excited and knelt down to kowtow.
Just now, they saw that the Water God Ancestor was no match for the enemy, and despair filled their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the dragon awakened at the crucial moment.
This rekindled their hope.
It really is a dragon, and indeed their guardian deity.
boom!
As a giant wave exploded in the sky, a huge monster with a mouth full of chilling fangs and its body covered in blue scales burst out of the water.
Amidst the cascading water, the blue monster suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed a group of strange fish that had been blasted into the air.
Immediately afterwards, one of its giant claws stretched out and grabbed the Water God Ancestor, opened its blood-red maw, threw him in, and swallowed him whole without even chewing.
This scene left all the aquatic people dumbfounded.
Even Duan Lang and the others were caught off guard.
"How could this be? How could this be?"
"Our Water God Ancestor was actually eaten by a dragon?"
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
"Divine Dragon, we are all your loyal subjects, why do you want to eat the Water God Ancestor?"
"..."
A group of aquatic people could hardly believe their eyes.
Is this the same dragon they have always worshipped?
They watched helplessly as their ancestor was devoured by the dragon, and they wept bitterly.
Unfortunately, their weeping did not earn them any kindness from the dragon, but instead earned them a blood-red glare from it.
In the eyes of the dragon, these aquatic beings, radiating dragon energy, were the most delicious food it would eat after it awoke.
boom!
The dragon's giant claw landed on the shore.
The entire Shenlong Island was shaken.
Terrifying shockwaves swept outwards in all directions, causing trees to fall and many weaker individuals to be swept into the air.
Those with profound internal strength immediately activated their internal energy to barely maintain their footing.
Only then could everyone see the dragon's full appearance.
The dragon before them was tall and imposing, like a mountain.
Its scales were rough and messy, and constantly shimmered with an eerie dark red luster.
Its mouth was full of chilling fangs, and a row of ferocious, sharp bone spikes protruded from its back.
This demonic dragon is quite different from the legendary divine dragon.
It looks more like a Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Cretaceous period.
Its pair of lantern-like scarlet eyes contained an aura of madness and disorder.
"This...this is the dragon we've always believed in?"
Looking at the tyrannical and unruly dragon before them, the aquatic people couldn't help but begin to doubt their faith.
What Shenlong did next shattered their faith completely.
Suddenly, the dragon opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the old patriarch of the aquatic tribe whole.

"How...how could this be!"
The surviving aquatic people were all stunned.
They watched helplessly as the dragon they had always worshipped devoured their patriarch and continued to ravage their people.
What exactly happened?
Their faith collapsed in an instant!
They couldn't accept the cruel reality before them.
The dragon they risked their lives to protect was now harming the aquatic creatures who guarded it.
They simply couldn't believe it.
However, the blood falling everywhere and the raging, roaring dragon all tell everyone that this is the truth, a cruel truth.
"This is the dragon?"
"This is simply a ferocious beast!"
Luo Xian frowned as she witnessed the cruel scene before her.
"It was originally a ferocious beast!"
"However, it is a treasure from head to toe, which is also the purpose of my coming here to slay the dragon."
Li Yao stared intently at the demonic dragon before him, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
In the original work, Indra and his group only focused on fighting for the Dragon Essence.
Little did they know that dragon meat, dragon blood, and so on were all highly nutritious foods.
"Dragon meat? I've never eaten it before!"
The Second Blade King's face broke into an excited smile.
"Your Majesty, the dragon brain must be left to your subordinates!"
The god's eyes were fixed greedily on the dragon's head.
"Hehe, I want to drink dragon's blood!"
Wudao Kuangtian's face contorted with rage.
"Your Majesty, shall we join forces?"
Luo Xian looked at the demonic dragon that was relentlessly wreaking havoc on the aquatic people and couldn't help but feel worried.
She worried that even if they attacked together, they might not be able to subdue the dragon.
"Don't rush, let me meet the Demon Dragon alone!"
"If I am truly unable to subdue the demonic dragon, then you may seize another opportunity."
Li Yao thought for a moment and then said.
The dragon before them was indeed terrifying.
Of the aquatic people, only a dozen or so remained after the dragon's rampage.
Boundless fear permeated the hearts of these people.
They wanted to escape, but under the immense power of the dragon, they were as insignificant as ants.
"Please, please save us!"
Finally, someone asked Li Yao and the others for help.
"Hmph! Before, didn't you keep saying you wanted to protect the dragon? You even tried to stop us from slaying it. Now why are you asking us to save you?"
Luo Xian chuckled.
In her eyes, these people deserved it.
In order to stop them from slaying the dragon, these people awakened the Water God Ancestor and the Demon Dragon.
However, they were instead devoured by the demonic dragon.
This is what they call reaping what you sow, playing with fire and getting burned!
Her words filled these people with shame and even greater regret.
Under the pressure of death, these aquatic people had no choice but to abandon their dignity and continue to plead: "We were wrong, please save us!"
Li Yao ignored the aquatic people and looked at the demonic dragon with a solemn expression, saying in a deep voice, "You all wait here, I will go and meet this demonic dragon."
With that, he leaped into the air and charged towards the demonic dragon.
At this moment, the demon dragon discovered Li Yao.
A glint of greed flashed in its lantern-like dragon eyes, which instantly turned into an unyielding bloodlust, emanating a frenzied killing intent.
With a roar, the dragon twisted its body, causing the surrounding air to churn.
A fierce killing intent burst forth, and the demonic dragon, carrying a surging wave of energy, immediately charged towards Li Yao.
In an instant, the demonic dragon rushed to Li Yao's side, opening its ferocious, blood-red maw, which reeked of a strong stench, as if it wanted to devour Li Yao whole.
Li Yao's gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his right hand, a Overlord Spear suddenly appeared in his hand, which he thrust out at the same time.
