LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 255: Who... who is it?
The vast ocean stretched endlessly, its waves rolling on for what seemed like millions of miles.
But the mighty Hydro Dragon, formed from the surging waves, was quickly showing signs of defeat.
"Boom!"
A deafening clap of thunder echoed through the sky. The Hydro Dragon, conjured by Azura from the ocean's waves, was nearly obliterated by the lightning strike, its form shattered and scattered.
Two dragons roared, both exuding a terrifying aura of dominance. Yet, the Hydro Dragon was no match for the Thunder Dragon, born from the heavens' wrath.
Under the sky, Azura staggered, her body trembling as she took several steps back. Her face, already tense, grew even paler.
She had anticipated this, but the sheer power of the lightning tribulation was far beyond what she had imagined.
"Roar!"
At that moment, the Thunder Dragon, formed from the tribulation, let out an even more terrifying roar. The massive dragon surged forward, and everything in its path seemed destined to be reduced to dust.
Lightning flashed, splitting into countless bolts.
The will of the heavens was supreme.
When the heavens decided something must perish, no one could stand in the way.
It felt as though everything would be destroyed by this Thunder Dragon, a force of divine punishment. Its overwhelming majesty was unstoppable.
Azura's face grew even paler, but she refused to give in. Her hand trembled slightly, and though the Hydro Dragon had been torn apart, it continued to reform, gathering strength, refusing to let the Thunder Dragon advance even an inch.
The aura of the dragons spread in all directions, their terrifying presence sending chills down the spines of all who witnessed the battle.
The clash between the two dragons felt like a cataclysm, a battle that could tear the heavens and earth apart.

"Roar!"
The Thunder Dragon let out a furious roar, its massive maw, formed from pure lightning, biting into the surging waves.
Azura's Hydro Dragon thrashed its enormous body, trying to resist. But no matter how hard it fought, it couldn't withstand the relentless bites of the Thunder Dragon.
Thunder rumbled, and the sky was filled with blinding light.
Amid the majestic dragon roars, there was a hint of a wild beast's savage growl.
Even though Azura continuously poured her spiritual energy into the Hydro Dragon, it struggled to regenerate under the relentless assault. The waves gathered faster and faster, but even then, half of the Hydro Dragon's head couldn't reform. It could only barely hold its ground with its broken body.
"So this is the power of the tribulation!"
The oppressive force rippled outward, and as the onlookers heard the terrifying dragon roars, they couldn't help but feel waves of fear and awe wash over them.
Only such a terrifying tribulation could truly showcase the overwhelming might of the heavens.
But with such devastating power, how could anyone possibly survive this tribulation?
At that moment, as the Hydro Dragon was on the verge of collapse, a serious expression flashed across Azura's face. She had no choice but to use her final trump card.
A pale blue orb floated out from her mouth, transforming into a sharp arrow that shot into the sky with incredible speed.
Swoosh.
The water droplet merged with the ocean, and in an instant, the once-defeated waves began to change.
Moments later, the Hydro Dragon's head slowly reformed, and in its mouth, it held the pale blue orb, now glowing brilliantly.
The dragon's roar shook the heavens, and a radiant golden light began to shine from the horns on Azura's head.
The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline flowed through her veins, and as her horns glowed with golden light, her long, silky hair began to shimmer with a faint blue hue.
In just a few moments, the tips of her hair had completely turned blue.
The two dragon horns atop Azura's head flared with brilliant light as she formed a series of hand seals. The immense power of her bloodline surged into the Hydro Dragon above her. The pale blue dragon pearl seemed to connect their energies, binding them together.
Thunder roared, but the lightning strikes were finally held at bay, suspended in midair.
This move alone was enough to show Azura's unwavering resolve.
No one could have imagined that such a small figure could be so stubborn, unleashing a power far beyond what she had shown before.
If anyone had doubted Azura's claim to the title of Dragon King before, there was no room for skepticism now.
However...
Even though the Hydro Dragon surged forward, it struggled to maintain balance against the seemingly endless barrage of lightning. The golden light from Azura's dragon horns, a symbol of the Dragon King's authority, began to dim. Some onlookers noticed that the glow atop her head was fading, and it seemed as though she was bearing the weight of a mountain.
Azura's body began to tremble, unable to withstand the immense pressure.
Crack. Crack.
The ground beneath her feet started to fracture and crumble, spiderweb-like cracks spreading outward. The situation had become dire.
The air felt thick, almost frozen in time, as countless eyes focused on the sky above.
"Finally, the moment we've been waiting for. Azura is completely occupied with the tribulation—she has no way to defend herself. If we can disrupt her, even if we can't kill her outright, the tribulation will finish her off."
"The Dragon King's death will finally be avenged. Azura, today you die!"
Suddenly, two figures shot into the sky.
Their faces were covered in dragon scales, and horns protruded from their heads.
Though these two dragons hadn't reached the level of a Dragon King, they were both powerful cultivators at the Ocean's Gate stage!
"They're from the Shrine of the Frost Dragon in the northern glaciers!"
An elder dragon shouted in alarm.
These two were ancient dragons who had long guarded the Shrine of the Frost Dragon in the northern glaciers, and their strength was not to be underestimated. Their sudden appearance at this moment could only mean one thing—they were here to exact revenge on Azura for the Frost Dragon King.
The two dragons accelerated, their speed terrifying as they closed in on Azura.
"This is bad! There's no time!"
Dragons were already incredibly fast, and with their Ocean's Gate cultivation, their speed was now beyond what anyone else could intercept.
Azura was in the midst of enduring an unprecedented tribulation. If she were interrupted, even if she didn't die at the hands of these two dragons, she would surely perish under the tribulation!
"You dared to bring such misery to our Frost Dragon King—Azura, prepare to die!"
The two dragons hurtled toward Azura at breakneck speed, their long blades gleaming with the hatred of their dragon bloodline, infused with immense spiritual energy.
"As long as we can land a hit, even if it doesn't kill her outright, Azura will be doomed!"
Their eyes locked onto Azura, convinced that victory was within their grasp.
But as their blades descended, they suddenly realized something was wrong. No matter how hard they tried, their blades couldn't move forward even an inch.
"Break!"
With a furious roar, the two dragons unleashed the full power of their blades, golden dragon energy swirling around them, their strength overwhelming.
Yet, as their blades struck, a gray mist blocked their path, completely halting their advance.
The two blades hung suspended in midair, unable to move. Even pulling them back was impossible.
"How is this possible? Who... who is it?"
The two dragons' eyes widened in shock as they stared ahead.
Standing before them was a single figure.
But this lone figure filled them with a deep, primal fear, shaking them to their core.
