nWhile Max and Mia were looking vigilantly, the carriage’s door opened in the sky.

nCreak…

nAlthough the carriage appeared to be extremely luxurious, when it opened, the sound it made made it sound like an antique carriage.

nWith Max and Mia’s sensitive hearing, they instantly caught the sound and subconsciously looked at the sky.

nA trace of shock flashed across Mia and Max’s eyes upon noticing the carriage.

n‘The true enemy hidden was right above us all along?’

nThe source of the domain had finally been located!

nHad the entity in the carriage not made a sound, Mia and Max would have likely spent a long time looking for the source.

nThe carriage door opened, and an extremely old figure walked out.

n

n

nIt was a old man who was hunched over. His skin was extremely dry, and his eyes were gloomy. His entire temperament was like that of a mummy.

n“Kids, please don’t misunderstand.”

n“My target has never been you.”

nThe hunched old man wore a black robe and hovered in the air. His hands were supported by a crutch, and he looked down at Max and Mia from above.

n“The two of you were born with the Ancient Dragon talent due to Agatha’s bloodline. Although both of you are indeed very outstanding, you are not worthy of my attention.”

n“Perhaps you will be very strong in the future, but this world has never lacked geniuses.”

n“The future that awaits you is not necessarily glorious. It is more likely to be full of death and sorrow.”

nThe hunchbacked old man slowly descended from the sky. The moment Max saw the hunchbacked old man approaching him, his heart became even more vigilant.

nMax knew that the old man was incomparably powerful, but he could not put a concrete figure to his strength.

nFor some reason, the hunchbacked old man gave Max a particularly strange feeling.

nThe old man clearly had the appearance of a human, but his entire body faintly emitted the aura of a dragon.

nEven after searching through his ancestors’ memories, Max still could not find such an existence!

n‘Just what on earth is this old man!?’

nThe hunchbacked old man slowly landed in front of Max, but he did not pay any attention to Marx. Instead, he looked at Bloom, who was very much dead.

nThe hunchbacked old man extended his mummy-like shriveled arm and removed Bloom’s mechanical arm.

nAfter operating it a few times, the fingernail-sized crystal came out of it and entered the old man’s hand.

n“Are you the mastermind behind the human army’s crusade?”

nMarx said warily from the side.

nThe hunchbacked old man glanced at Max, but he did not deny it.

n“You are just the victims of this war. It doesn’t make any difference to me whether you are alive or killed by humans.”

n“My goal has always been the crystal in this guy’s body.”

nMax took a step back and watched as the other party solemnly put the crystal into a magic vessel.

n“You have gotten what you wanted. Let us leave.”

nMax said.

nThe hunched old man turned his head and sneered.

n“Sorry, kid.”

n“Leaving is not an option.”

n“Your only choice is to become nutrients for the soil, or become nutrients for me.”

nIn the eyes of the old man, Max was already a corpse.

nThe old man’s goal was to silence Max and Mia by killing them after obtaining his crystal.

n‘What exactly was that crystal?’

nMax could clearly feel that the old man in front of him was extremely powerful. He was even more powerful than his mother, Agatha, and the Black Dragon he had faced back when he was born.

nThe old man’s strength had probably surpassed that of an Ancient Dragon.

n‘Just what kind of existence is he?’

nIt was at this moment that the old man finally revealed his true face.

nAlthough his face was human, there were a few pieces of broken dragon scales on it.

n‘Dragonkin!’

n‘The product of the fusion between human and dragon genes!’

nIn his mind, although there were words describing the current stooped old man, there was no detailed information.

nAll Max knew was that the old man before him possessed the bloodline of both the dragon and human race.

nHowever, dragons and humans were natural enemies. How could they produce offspring?

nThis was simply unbelievable!

nMax did not believe that there was really a dragon that was willing to lower its pride and have intercourse with the human race.

n“Die quietly, kid.”

nThe old man’s face was emotionless. He slowly raised his right hand and directly grabbed at the air in Max’s direction.

nIn an instant, a powerful projection of mana solidified before him.

nAn incomparably huge dragon claw that was made out of mana grabbed in Max’s direction.

nThe dragon claw was over ten meters tall!

nIt even surpassed Max’s height!

nIn front of this huge dragon claw, Max appeared tiny!

nMax dared not hesitate and immediately set off to protect his sister. With a pathetic roll, he managed to avoid the dragon claw by a hair’s breadth.

nBoom!

nA huge crater appeared in the desert!

nThis was created by the aftershock of the huge dragon claw!

nUpon realizing his attack had failed, the old man launched yet another attack!

nMax turned his head to look at the terrifying aftershock.

nThe half-breed Dragonkin’s strength had probably surpassed that on an Ancient Dragon!!

n

n

nThe dragons that ranked above Ancient Dragons were known as Immemorial Dragons.

nAlthough they were a single rank apart, the strength of Immemorial Dragons had far surpassed Ancient Dragons! It was not an exaggeration to say that they existed on different tiers!

nThey were able to easily control the magic they possessed, and they could even control the elemental energy within the air.

nUpon reaching the rank of an Immemorial Dragon, one could replenish their energy from their surroundings at any time. They would no longer fear not possessing enough mana to unleash their magic.

nBy Max’s estimates, there was an 80-90% chance that the old man had reached the rank of an Immemorial Dragon!

nFor an enemy of this level, unless he used the Battle of Existence, he simply had no chance of winning.

nNot even the slightest chance.

nAn Immemorial Dragon could crush Ancient Dragons without even breaking a sweat!

nWhatever talent, strength, or willpower one had, in the face of supreme strength, it was completely useless.

nMax hastily muttered the chant to begin the Battle of Existence!
