641 Forceful Breakthrough

Xue Wei and the others were all sitting at the water’s edge, observing the dragon that was flailing around in the water. They did not show any hurry when it came to crossing the strait. Instead they wanted to be completely certain that their chances of success were as high as possible before they began moving.

“Have you all noticed that although the energy levels suggest that this seadragon is a newly promoted deity, the attacks seem to be somewhat faltering. It is as if it is unable to fully control the energy that it possesses.” Hei Gou asked after spending a long time observing.

He had not been certain before, but as he continued to look at the surrounding ripples of energy that were constantly being released by the beasts in the sea, he had begun to notice a few details.

“Not only is the energy not comparable to that of a real deity, it is also very chaotic. Sometimes the ripples are almost as powerful as expected, but they also seem to diminish in power and be on par with ours.” Bai Tianyi was also looking around and furrowing his brows.

His ability to sense energy in the surrounding air was not influenced by his previous injury, and just as Hei Gou had noticed the strength not being comparable with a beast of the God Rank, the energy was also overwhelmingly chaotic and appeared to be out of control from even the dragon itself.

“The dragon should be tied to the strait by some sort of formation. I believe that it is unable to leave here. From what I have observed so far, it was intentionally placed here, and had not moved to the strait by some accident. I would imagine that it has been waiting here for a long time.” Ling Xiao had also been observing the surroundings, but unlike the other two who had been focusing on the energy, he had focused more on the terrain and the formation that kept the dragon in place.

In comparison, Xue Wei had been focusing on the dragon itself. Whenever he looked at the Hailong in front of him, he could sense the hatred and anger that was etched into its bones.

It would appear that the dragon had descended into madness and was unable to regain its sanity. Its mind seemed to have become maniacal and the creature seemed unable to straighten its thoughts. The eyes were hazy but bursting with murderousness, and it did not seem to really register them as a threat or living beings.

However, he had made a few experiments throughout the day, and found that as soon as his hand touched the water, the dragon would be caught up in hysteria. The eyes would glow with a red and bloodthirsty light, and energy would gather as the dragon would thrash around violently, preparing for an attack. However, as soon as his hands no longer touched the water’s surface, the dragon would once again become deranged, losing sight of the target and violently smashing the air instead.

.....

“I am not sure if we are lucky or unfortunate. The Hailong in front of us is clearly a newly promoted deity, and thus we should be completely unable to fight against it.

“However, its mind is clearly not right. We might have a chance to get past, as long as we find some way to trick it, but at the same time, we will encounter more danger on the way, as we will be unable to fully comprehend and understand the reactions it will have to our movements.”

Xue Wei could not help but furrow his brows as he looked at the turbulent waves in front of them and the violent dragon that kept roaring and flailing about.

“Wait!”

Just as he was trying to think of a possible method of passing, Bai Tianyi suddenly screamed out. His voice caught the attention of them all, and they could not help but look at him with inquiry.

“The energy seem to be draining, somehow.” Bai Tianyi’s voice was slightly hesitant as his eyes kept staring at the dragon that had slowly come to a standstill in the middle of the water, and slowly began to submerge under the waves once more.

Ling Xiao, Hei Gou, and Xue Wei were able to sense the larger movements of the energy-ripples in the air, but the exact details of the dragon itself, they could not understand, so none of them commented but waited for Bai Tianyi to keep observing and see if he could find anything special.

Bai Tianyi kept observing the dragon and its actions. From time to time, he would ask Xue Wei and the others to create waves in the water, rousing the dragon from its slumber once more in order to see how it would react.

A few days went by, but the longer they spent, the more certain Bai Tianyi became, and after some time, he finally called them all back to explain what he had figured out.

“The beast’s breakthrough to the God Rank seems to have been done forcefully by the formation underneath the strait. I would imagine that the Hailong has been placed here for a long time, and that when it first arrived, it should have been quite a lot weaker than now.

“The formation is likely to have contained a lot of treasures containing huge amounts of energy, and the dragon has been absorbing this energy throughout the years to break through to higher realms.

“As for why it has gone mad, I can imagine that the dragon refused to absorb the energy and was not willing to grow stronger, as the treasures were placed by the same person as the one who trapped it in the strait.

“Not long ago, all the energy within the formation entered into the dragon’s body and made it ascend to God Rank forcefully. However, the mind and body had been greatly harmed in the process.”
