Chapter 461: Lightning thundered as the dragon roars (3)

The moment the tornadoes touched the lightning essence, it exploded, releasing a wind wave that resonated all around four directions as the lightning keep running away. 

Arial coughed up another mouthful of blood as his consciousness getting weaker. 

This time he could feel that his hand almost lost substance. 

Even though dying in his own sea of consciousness doesn't mean he will die in the real world, it will give him internal injuries and stunted his own internal energy growth. 

Usually an attack to a sea of consciousness can only be achieved when that convergence of power between two practitioners happened. 

Usually when fighting of equally strong master, there are times when their energy sync with each other and releases a strike that contains the same amount of internal energy which resulted in them entering each other sea of consciousness. 

They would then fight there. 

To others eyes, it will not be even a fraction of second but to them it might have even been days. 

Arial never encountered such situations before because his internal energy surpassed everybody else. 

Another type of reason why sea of consciousness could be attacked is because of poison that has some internal energy injected into it.

But divine essence? 

Who would have dared to eat Divine Essence! Divine Essence even though it is an essence it has some sort of consciousness. 

Even though it is caught, even though it is imprisoned, it still wanted to assimilate under a worthy master. 

Divine Beast gets their essence from Gods and Goddesses. 

Having been stolen its essence, the Divine Thunder Eagle would of course imprint some of its consciousness inside it. 

As long as Arial did not make it bend towards his will, the lightning will only harm Arial. 

Even though Arial with dragon heart, even he must make this essence bow to him and accept him.

As Arial keep chasing while coughing blood, the lightning essence began transforming as it realizes its power is weakening under the barrage of attack by Arial. 

Slowly it formed itself into an eagle, clad in lightning, sparks cracking from it claws, its wing was made purely by lightning and it soars the sky.

Arial wills a mountain to appear and it uses a lot of his will and consciousness to make this happen and an iron steel mountain appears blocking the eagle.

'I got you!' He screams as Arial realizes the disturbance of energy, the distortion of energy around the eagle when it rams straight to the mountain and get dizzy.

Using the disturbance of energy as the impetus, he tries to teleport and this time it works.

He teleported right in front of the eagle and grab it neck and with one snap not letting the lightning did anything, the lightning disperse.

It then shines with a luminesce light and enters into Arial chest and he could feel his dantian is assimilated perfectly with lightning essence.

BOOM! BOOM! 

The thunder fiercely sounded in the sky of his sea of consciousness. This time Arial could not bear the pressure any longer and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

His Sea of consciousness is crumbling. It can be healed later when he is stable but for now, his sea of consciousness is crumbling.

Mountains crumbles, the grass suddenly is burned by a mysterious fire, and the tornadoes all exploded , creating a shockwave that obliterated everything around the four directions as Arial was flown away hundreds of kilometers away and he could feel his sea of consciousness, his imaginary scape is crumbling. 

Arial consciousness is shaking; his spirit is shaken to its very core, a pain that is searing through Arial mind visit him.

But he could also feel strength coursing inside his veins again, his body become lighter again, and his meridians feel a coursing energy coursing through its channel.

As he close his eyes, he could see only light and the Imaginary Scape was destroyed by a great explosion.

HARGHHH!!!! 

The roar of pain could be heard sounding through all direction, to the west, to the east, to the south, to the north. 

All around 100 kilometers radius, everyone could hear the roar that so much resembles a dragon. 

Hills moved, caves crumbles, the sea water was pushed back from landing itself to shore, the sky changes and lightning thundered about, striking the plains.

Mountains shake and the earth crumbles near the crumbled cave of Arial. 

Ana was not very far from the cave but she was not very near either but she could hear this roar and she could feel her heart feel with so much fear, that her knees gave out, the direwolf whimper, and the beast that roam in the plains all hide themselves in their caves, in their holes, and in their nest.

What beast could produce such roars? 

This all happens in five second. Even the city Of Ragran could hear the roar and they inside their house all wonder what beast is that.

When Ana could regain her senses, she rides her direwolf and rushed to the cave. 

In her heart she prayed that nothing happens to Arial. When she arrived at the cave she could see a caved in cave, her cave destroyed, rubbles of stones and dirt fill the cave.

'Arial' she said, her throat is stuckedlost for words and for a moment she froze in her steps, trying not to acknowledge what happens. 

She did not know how to response to this sudden occurrence. 

She only left for a while and a beast attacked. This is her conclusion. A beast attacked the cave when she was gone and kills Arial in it. 

Arial was weak and injured. How could he possibly survive?

Tears started forming on her eyes, when suddenly uncontrollably Ana kneels. 

Ana feel fear crept inside her heart, her spirit shaken and powerless suddenly.

Power emanated from the broken rubbles, the rubbles levitating, like it was being held by some unseen force, a such domineering power that uncontrollably every living being need to bow to such force. 

Even the direwolf whimpers and bow its head.

Then an explosion happens, the explosion was of pure destructive energy, the Yang element of the strongest type, pure and untainted, use solely for destruction and the rubbles, stones, mud, all turns to dust. 

The energy was so domineering that it disintegrates the very energy of other things. 

And from the broken rubbles emerged a man, his clothe is full with blood and tear, as it seems to rot, his lips is chapped, he look like he aged ten years, but there is pure radiance emanating from his body, lightning dances on his fingers and his eyes was full with power. 

When Ana look at Arial she could feel like Arial is enlarged a hundred times than she is, like a towering Titan looking down at her. 

Arial smirked. He is exhausted, he is injuredbut power courses through his veins again. He has returned.

He looks at the sky and he roars and his roar shocked Ana, and lightning thunder from the skies. 

Ana look in awe as lightning flashed and illuminate the figure of Arial.

A figure of a proud dragon.
