The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 558 How do you know that?

As the whole world quivered in terror and countless lives vanished into oblivion, the dragon people's realm brimmed with vibrant energy.

Their young had been invited by the fox people to cultivate in the sacred grounds, and on top of that, a surge of newborn dragons had suddenly appeared.

One revered elder among them had even broken through to the astral body realm following a ceremony alongside the patriarch, Long Tianjin.

How could they hold back from rejoicing?

Regrettably, this wave of joy didn't endure for much time.

Much to the astonishment of all, Tianjin declared his stepping down soon after handing over every secret technique to that elder and proclaiming him the fresh patriarch.

Right then, Tianjin perched upon the tallest peak across the dragon people's domain, his gaze locked onto the heavens above.

"Truly, the moment to depart has arrived, hasn't it?" A wry grin crept over the golden dragon's features.

He'd already linked with his primary form and shared vital recollections, leaving him mostly untroubled.

Still, parting without a farewell to his daughter, Qianyao, weighed heavily on him. If she'd only stopped by for one final meeting...

He remained uncertain about when she'd ascend to the celestial heavens or venture into his dwelling region.

"Ah..." Tianjin sighed deeply, rising to his feet as his form gradually weakened.

His endurance had reached its end, and he sensed the distant quakes rippling from the world's far edge.

A fierce clash loomed near.

With a last stride forward, he released his awareness from the flesh, vanishing as a streak of golden brilliance toward the distant skyline.

Freedom at last. All that remained was reuniting with the core self.

Yet before that, one task called to him.

The golden streak pierced through vast distances in mere moments, arriving at Auranys's divine domain before climbing higher, slipping past the rift in the firmament.

In an instant, Tianjin's sliver of mind perceived the shift in his surroundings.

The bond to his true form surged with might, matched by the thick aura of Qi enveloping him.

It resembled emerging from eons in a scorching wasteland into a haven of cool comfort.

Suddenly, a mighty presence descended over him.

Within the cosmic void's shadows, a duo of crimson eyes snapped open.

They loomed enormous, each rivaling mountain peaks, scrutinizing that gleam of light with keen curiosity.

"Oh... if it isn't the golden Lord in person, upholder of justice, Long Tianjin, hahaha!" A booming laugh resounded, laced with delight and

contempt.

"You know... I caught your trace on the successor to the corruption dragon god... Even through a shattered vessel, your aroma stands out plainly."

Those statements hung in silence for a stretch, paired with a muffled snicker.

"Never imagined you'd tangle with such a... repulsive entity. All after the sacrifices you made to slay that wretched fiend.

Tianjin held his retort, his luminous shape starting to solidify.

His actual form lay too remote to act, but that held no importance. "The Corruption Dragon God lies slain. I led the pursuit to end him myself. That youth is Long Qingyi, my son-in-law, wed to my daughter. When you draw your blade on him, you challenge me, vile fiend."

Tianjin's declaration met a wild, frenzied burst of laughter.

"Hahaha! The noble and splendid Tianjin appears to have become a mad, doddering fool, hahahaha!"

Mighty echoes of applause rang out amid the mirth, the noise rippling through the Qi saturating the empty expanse.

"I'll relish watching your grin when your schemes shatter and your endless futile bids to conquer Aether collapse into mere demise." Tianjin shot back with a snarl.

For the initial instance, the Heavenly Demon hesitated. Astonishment seized his scarlet gaze.

"How could you possibly know that?" The query boomed, icy and brimming with lethal fury.

"What? Did you believe a scheme so grand would stay hidden forever? Your aim to seize Aether and command the heavens? Fine. Let your greed strangle you. My lance will pierce your neck before long."

A bellow of profound loathing chased Tianjin's speech, as the Heavenly Demon's Qi swallowed the surrounding void, fierce enough to shred a star

to pieces.

Yet his wrath found no outlet now. Tianjin had fled the spot, hurtling at light's pace back to his true essence.

Left solitary, the Heavenly Demon steadied himself.

His ocular illusion faded away, and shortly, his form materialized

in the emptiness.

He towered high, silver locks flowing long, clad in garments matching his vivid red eyes.

His robust torso lay bare, and his striking visage, once warped by fury,

swiftly restored its poise.

Such petty taunts shouldn't sway him.

No. He transcended all that nonsense.

Steadying his raging spirit, the Heavenly Demon centered his thoughts,

spotting a minuscule rift in the nearby space.

It appeared so slight, scarcely wide enough for a single coin, yet it sufficed.

With precision, he detached a fragment of his awareness and guided it

via that spatial breach.

What significance did it hold if that cursed golden dragon uncovered his designs?

He embodied the Heavenly Demon. The supreme and flawless entity ever born in that wretched cosmos.

His fate decreed supremacy over all existence, and none could refute it.

Remaining within the immortal heavens, Qingyi fixed his stare on the sky's fracture, the grip maintaining it quivering faintly.

He'd witnessed that golden beam streak past the gap earlier, though

it had escaped his notice.

Its velocity had been too swift to trace the Qi's source. Particularly amid the swarm of concerns crowding his thoughts. "So... you've arrived at last..." Qingyi's gaze sharpened as a burst of scarlet radiance erupted from the sky's tear, plummeting toward the blood orb.

His locks whipped about while he soared upward, aligning level with the orb to watch its transformations.
