57 Greetings

Casually slashing space with his claws, many astral inscriptions suddenly erupt from his hand and merge with this small rift. A new astral gate is created as Hei happily walks through it. When he appears, what greets him is a bright and sunny sky but the ground is actually scarred with battle marks.

A little over 1000 meters away, Hei senses many energy signatures. Due to his senses completely washing over them and Hei originally not attempting to hide it, these energy signatures suddenly become extremely vigilant.

Hei laughs a bit as he launches his movement technique and arrives closer so he can take a good look at the enemy. What greet him are actually many persons wearing a single type of uniform. While the uniforms resemble the ones the 6 dragons had before, these are actually much stronger and newer.

The armors are all pure azure, and shiny. The sun rays reflect off them and their dashing and heroic auras seem to meld perfectly with this. Many persons have their weapons on their backs or sides. They stare at Hei with anger and caution.

An extremely handsome male steps forward. His Aura is even stronger than the rest of persons and an immortal feeling can be clearly sensed permeating from his body. He deliberately allows his aura to project out without the least bit of restraint as if probing Hei.

This male seems to be in his late teen years. While most persons possess azure armors which share the same shape, his has an additional pair of dragons coiling on both sides of the shoulder guards. He smiles complacently upon noticing Hei stopping after he released his armor.

"Little bear, do you even know where you are? Scram the fuck out of here. I, your Daddy have no time for one of my uglier children." The many dragons behind him begin laughing uproariously as many looks of mockery and disdain can be seen on their faces.

Hei scratches his head with one of his claws. He thinks to himself, "Wow, these guys are truly self-centered pricks. I didn't even say anything to them and they are already picking a fight. Wow, even I am at a loss. The more I explore, the more I get the feeling majority of the world is just stupid."

One of the quick to bootlick soldiers quickly asks, "Captain, may I dispatch of this bear!? I mean, it should be good to roast!" Others angrily look at this person as they curse, "Oh fuck your mother and sisters bastard!" "Fucking cunt, he is quick to act!" The captain smiles as he casually waves his hand, gesturing for him to go ahead.

The bootlicker quickly rushes forward with his dragon spear drawn. Stabbing straight towards Hei's head, the dragon shows not even the slightest of mercy. Hei looks at the incoming spear with curiosity. This causes many of their faces to contort in ridicule.

Only a few have a bit of pity as they shake their heads. Sitting casually on his butt, Hei watches the spear point charge towards him as a silly expression is plastered on his face.

Hei seems to watch this person approach in slow motion as he even has time to think, "I wonder why these guys are so stupid. Is this their way of trying to be arrogant? You're quite lacking in many areas if you ask me."

In a manner not too fast but not too slow, Hei calmly places a single finger with its claw right at the incoming spear point. As if being commanded by the heavens, the force of the spear along with the energy behind it is stopped by Hei's one claw. All its force and energy seems to dissipate under Hei's single claw.

The finger is slightly bent so the claw slightly holds on to the spear point. Suddenly, an almost instantaneous and brief energy eruption silently happens. The dragon pauses as if frozen in time. Suddenly, the dragon falls apart into many cubed pieces. His spear falls to the ground with a thud.

Hei shakes his head, "Seems he practices a splitting technique. Not bad at all." The Hidden Dragon Sect members all draw in a breath of cold air as the inconceivable situation happens before them. Most persons did not see what happened exactly. However, the scene is replayed in the eyes of a few persons.

These persons are all actually Immortals. They notice the dragon approaching and Hei was not generating energy. However, the minute his finger extended and his claw made contact with the spear point, mini astral inscriptions seem to form and destroy both the force and energy. Furthermore, when

Hei's claw held the spear point, astral inscriptions with a sensation similar to sword energy quickly move through the spear and into the body of the dragon attacking, completely severing him into many places. While most persons would only think this bear is kinda strong, only the immortals realized how dangerous and skilled this bear should be.

Their wariness levels instantly increase to a severe level. The rest of immortals who didn't really care about Hei's appearance instantly assemble beside the captain which puzzles most persons, their faces all showing a solemn expression.

The previously complacent captain stares at Hei as he seriously says, "Senior…what do you want with us? Stop being shameless…we can simply call that as a casualty due to his ignorance." While he knows that this person could possibly be more powerful than him, due to his position, he tries to be fierce and brave while taking a step back to give a bit of face. This already seems to take quite a lot out of the captain.

Hei nods a bit, "This should be everyone in this little area?" The captain's face is filled with confusion as he ponders what Hei means. "It would seem that I am correct. Then it's time for me to send my greetings."

Suddenly, Hei's body is covered in darkness as his form begins to expand rapidly. He thinks to himself, "The will to tower over the heavens…the reason. My reason is simple, because I must tower over the heavens to defeat all things before me."

Maintaining his beast form, Hei actually reverts into the form of a Colossan, merging both Beast and Colossan into one. Due to the rapidly growing Hei, the dragons quickly retreat in horror, panicked expressions on all their faces.

Hei grows so tall that he actually blocks out the sun, turning the land into one of darkness. Coupled with his dark body and his massive form and his gaze which seems to even overlook the heavens themselves, Hei truly frightens the many dragons.

It would have been good if this was the end of it. "My concept shall be ruler and I wish to battle and conquer!" Suddenly, Hei's already massive form actually grows 2 pairs of curved, jet black horns. These horns seem to form a crown on the forehead of his gigantic bear form.

His body grows slightly muscular as he stands on his feet. This stand seems to shake the air as just the movement from his body creates a towering pressure.

The energy radiating from Hei is like a Demonic Emperor looking over his subjects as a might which overlooks even the heavens seem to fall on the dragons. A repressive force as if a dictator is standing before them constantly breaks their will to even retreat.

Battle intent seems to fill the air as it continues to climb without end. It seems Hei doesn't even want to fight them but actually fight and kill the heavens! They will just be the collateral to this battle!

Hei's lofty eyes gaze forth as his voice echoes far and wide, "I want to send a message with your lives…."

---------

Within an elegant pavilion, many gold and azure intertwining ribbons holding flowers can be seen on the columns and walls. In the center of the pavilion, over 100 different dishes can be seen. The sound of gently beating drums and carefully caressed strings of guqins can be heard.

This table in the center has over 30 seats but what is interesting is that on one end of the table, Xing Yinghua can be seen sitting peacefully. Her usually cold and indifferent face can be seen but deep within her eyes, clam and slight appreciation can be seen.

Many guest laugh as they enjoy the food. These guests are all actually wearing expensive clothing and a natural pride and arrogance is engraved on their faces. Most of them are actually from the younger generation; however a few persons appearing to be in their twenties are also present.

Beautiful maidens attend to the beck and call of the guests as they serve them with awe filled and respectful expressions. On Xing Yinghua's head, a golden tiara that constantly diffuses astral lights sits gracefully on her golden hair at the top of her head.

This tiara is shaped like blooming flowers interlocking as it goes around, similar to a curved garden. In the center, a princess and dragon can be seen standing beside each other in the center of this garden. The princess gives off a regal and cold feeling while the king gives off a vast and majestic aura like the ruler of the sky.

Small orbs of light gently sway around the 2 figures in the center to create a holy and sacred feeling. Many of the persons eating cannot help but look on Ice Princess Yinghua. Some of the males have slightly infatuated eyes while others are simply highly appreciative of her appearance.

A voice at the other end of the table slowly declares, "A toast to the most beautiful woman in the world…Happy Birthday Yinghua." Everyone happily follow suit, "Happy Birthday Princess Yinghua." They all drain their cups in one gulp.

She raises her cups in thanks and similarly drains it in one go, her bearing as calm and regal as the highest of royalty. From the other end, a completely dashing young male sits and observes Yinghua in silence.

A light smile hangs on his face as he seems to be quite contended at life. His light blue hair flows like water on both sides of his face and on his back and shoulders. His eyes are as deep as the azure sky, gentleness and peaceful lights diffuse from them.

His straight nose and gentle eyebrows seem to create the feeling of a calm and kind individual. His cheeks even possess a slight glow as if he is blushing. However, the aura around him, while gentle seems to possess vigor and dominance. This is a dragon among dragons!

His casual sitting seems quite natural but gives off a majestic and royal aura. He gently swishes the wine in his dragon chalice delicately. Not a drop comes even close to staining his white dragon robe adorned with linings of azure.

No matter how one looks on this young man who seems to just turn barely pass as an 18 year old, he could never be guessed to actually be the scum known as Shenlong Weilan.

A powerful but kind voice escapes from his gentle lips, "Yinghua, do you like your present? This tiara is made from Golden Tranquility. Not only does it help to nourish the mind, but it can subtly help with concentration and comprehension."

Xing Yinghua replies with a slightly emotional voice, "I really like it…especially the floral aspect…Thank you…Weilan. I really like it. She seems to mutter that she really likes it multiple times. This causes many persons to laugh and comment how cute of a couple the 2 would make.

"Only if I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have gotten such a rushed gift, my sincerest of apologies to you." She shakes her head, "It is perfect…just like you." Just as this seemingly perfect dragon is about to reply, someone looking like utter rubbish runs right into the pavilion. His appearance bloodied as most of his armor is missing.

His right arm seems to be broken in multiple places and his left one actually has a small hole within it. A pain filled and terrified expression can be seen on his face as his pitiful voice rings out, "Young…Master Weilan, we have failed you…The one known as Young Master Tianxiong has sent a message… If I do not quote his words…he will kill everyone. Please pardon me…"

The dragon gasps for breath as he solemnly repeats Hei's words, "Young Master Tianxiong greets you all. Happy birthday Yinghua, I shall visit you eventually. Shenlong Weilan, your troops will all die unless you let this Young Master have your most precious Princess Yinghua. By the way, I heard you're a fuck boy of a dragon who eats..."

One of the males seated at the table stabs a sword straight through this person's head. "No need to hear the words of a brainwashed weakling." The atmosphere suddenly turns into a rage filled environment. Another person can be seen hurrying to the pavilion as he shouts, "Young Master, the troops of Zones 19 and 20…are all gone!"
