Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1177, Fury of All Dragons, Overwhelming Dominance!

Translator: Silavin

In that instant, a terror unlike anything it had known seized the Slaughter Ancient God’s heart, for he felt from this opponent a level of oppressive pressure he had never once experienced before.

That pressure told him plainly that this opponent’s strength and his own did not exist on the same plane. It far surpassed him by an almost incomprehensible margin, rivalling nearly his own peak across past eras.

The Slaughter Ancient God was not without confidence in his current strength. He had laid his plans patiently across many years, first receiving offerings from the Tie Family, and then arriving at the Jiang Family Sacred Land to serve as its Totem and Guardian Deity, devouring resources each year in quantities beyond reckoning.

Though he had not fully awakened, his degree of awakening was already remarkably high, far beyond what an ordinary Ancient God could claim.

Other Ancient Gods might not even have stirred from slumber.

And those that had awoken would, in all likelihood, be nothing more than sustenance for the Slaughter Ancient God, with no prospect of competing for the position of God King.

Furthermore, through this battle against Lu Fan’s group, the Slaughter Ancient God had experienced a succession of rapid breakthroughs, surging within moments to a level that was almost comparable to full awakening.

The Slaughter Ancient God was confident that once it killed Lu Fan’s group and devoured their Ancient God Power, he would basically reach the pinnacle of awakening, and formally enter the Ancient Gods Struggle For Supremacy.

Well, apart from an ‘old friend’ like the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, he should have faced no worthy opposition whatsoever.

And yet the reality had just given him a rather rude slap across the face.

He had not yet even laid eyes on the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, and Lu Fan had already activated some incomprehensible Skill, fusing with every last one of his Pet Dragons and sending his strength surging to a level that could directly crush him.

From the very first exchange, the Slaughter Ancient God understood, unless he truly achieved full awakening, unless his strength returned to the peak he had known across previous eras, meeting the current Lu Fan left only one possible outcome: defeat.

Lu Fan was a new Ancient God. He had not even fully awakened his Ancient God Power, and his Level had not even reached its ceiling. How could he possibly be this overwhelmingly powerful?!

[This is ridiculous!] The Slaughter Ancient God refused to accept it, feeling that being pinned to the ground by the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, a supremely powerful existence, would have been, at least, somewhat understandable.

But to be so utterly dominated by a Mid Tier Ancient God, the Abyssal Ancient God no less, and one who had only just ascended to become an Ancient God at that, was a profound insult to the honour of the Slaughter Ancient God.

*Roar!*

The Slaughter Ancient God howled without ceasing, thrashing his body desperately, straining again and again to break free from Lu Fan’s grip, wanting nothing more than to tear himself loose and fight him for another three hundred rounds, to see once and for all which of them was truly the stronger one.

Yet no matter how he struggled, no matter how his massive body made the entire altar shudder and quake with the very real risk of total collapse, he could not shake himself free from Lu Fan’s grasp.

It was as though the Dragon Claw pinning him to the ground was a force that operated entirely beyond the laws of Heaven and Earth. Having decided to hold him here, there was nothing the Slaughter Ancient God could do but suffer, completely at Lu Fan’s mercy.

This awe-inspiring, domineering power left Ouyang Bai Ge and the others standing in stunned silence.

Not a single one of them had imagined that the Skill Lu Fan activated would be this overwhelming, capable of pinning the Slaughter Ancient God down without so much as a twitch.

However, simply suppressing the Slaughter Ancient God could not in itself accomplish anything of real substance.

After all, the Devouring Dragon King had also held the upper hand for much of the battle earlier, and yet as time went on the Slaughter Ancient God’s strength had grown, ultimately surpassing the Devouring Dragon King.

If Lu Fan could not kill the Slaughter Ancient God in one go, then this display of dominance, however impressive, was meaningless.

*Roar!*

With a single, crystal-clear Dragon Roar, the silver light enveloping Lu Fan dispersed.

A silver Giant Dragon emerged from within the silver radiance, its appearance one of ineffable purity and sanctity.

Lu Fan, having taken the form of a Silver Dragon, now concentrated within himself the power of every single one of his Pet Dragons. The frightening scale of that strength was difficult to even imagine.

This was not the first time he had used Fury of All Dragons, but he could feel clearly that this iteration, compared to those before it, represented a qualitative leap of a completely different order.

When he had taken this Silver Dragon Form in the past, Lu Fan had always felt as though he could shake the Heavens and split the Earth, that he was invincible and omnipotent.

But now, Lu Fan felt as though he were the supreme ruler of all existence, as though with a single thought he could easily destroy the world and then rebuild it from scratch.

This sensation, he suspected, was something akin to what an Ancient God felt upon becoming a God King.

Part of the reason for this was that Lu Fan now possessed his Ancient God Divine Seat, with Ancient God Power surging unchecked through the Silver Dragon’s body, directly elevating his strength to an entirely different plane.

The other part was that the Devouring Dragon King had also entered the fusion, joining within Lu Fan’s body.

An Eternal Phase Combat Specialised Dragon King, needless to say, she possessed strength of a truly terrifying calibre.

Amplified through Fury of All Dragons, the Devouring Dragon King’s strength, as reflected in the Skill, produced results that exceeded even Lu Fan’s own expectations.

Lu Fan even felt that, in his current state, he could stride directly to the Northern Border, seek out the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, engage it in open battle, and completely annihilate it.

What a pity, that this state could only be maintained for a single strike.

After that one strike, the effects of Fury of All Dragons would come to an abrupt end.

And within that one strike, Lu Fan had to kill the Slaughter Ancient God in one shot.

If he failed, then this hunt for the Slaughter Ancient God would count as a failure, and the group would be forced to retreat.

As for what form the Slaughter Ancient God would take when he next appeared before them, once he had recovered from his wounds… he shuddered to imagine it.

This single strike had to succeed. There was no room for failure.

Lu Fan made up his mind. Silver radiance began to swirl and gather at his jaws.

The sheer purity of the Dragon Breath made even the Slaughter Ancient God register a threat unlike anything he had felt before.

Each time he had experienced this kind of dread in the past, it had been at the very end of an era, in the final moments of crossing blades with other Ancient Gods.

In other words, every time he had ever felt this fear in the depths of his being, it had been on the very cusp of death.

Was this time the same?!

[No. No!!]

The Slaughter Ancient God screamed inwardly, erupting with every Skill in his arsenal in rapid succession, desperately trying to interrupt Lu Fan’s Dragon Breath, to prevent the attack from landing.

But though his Skills raged wild and furious, they landed on Lu Fan and produced not so much as a ripple.

The Dragon Breath continued to gather, and in moments reached a level of terrifying concentration.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fan released the accumulated Dragon Breath, its power like a floodgate thrown open, pouring entirely and completely onto the Slaughter Ancient God’s body.

*Boom!*

Silver light erupted, so blinding and radiant it rivalled the Sun itself.

The silver Dragon Breath cascaded down onto the Slaughter Ancient God’s body, and the moment the two made contact, the Slaughter Ancient God’s previously indestructible body dissolved and disintegrated like paper meeting flame, vanishing and crumbling away. Compared to the resilience he had shown earlier, when he had shrugged off every one of the Devouring Dragon King’s Skills through sheer Endurance, it seemed almost impossible to believe this was the same existence.
