In the universe, everything was at peace...

60 billion years had already passed since the Dark Lord ascended to the throne as its king.

From time to time there were fights in places but no one dared to disturb the ruler, Dark Lord.

The influence of the Dark Lord's power and authority reached far and wide, creating an aura of fear and respect that prevented anyone from overstepping their bounds.

Even in mortal worlds, which were separated from the highest level realm, legends of a god known as the Dark Lord had spread far and wide. His name resonated across the cosmos, a symbol of strength and an embodiment of mythical power.

Everyone worshipped the dark lord and every new blood, dreamed to become someone like the dark lord.

Amid an era of tranquility, the universe was suddenly jolted by a thunderous sound—a loud voice that reverberated across the cosmos. To everyone's astonishment and fear, the sky tore apart, revealing a visible rift that left them trembling.

Despite the overwhelming nervousness that gripped everyone, a sense of reassurance lingered in their hearts. Why? Because they had a formidable protector by their side—the Dark Lord. With the powerful presence of their king by their side, they were not afraid of anything.

As long as the king was there, no one could do anything to anyone in this universe.

As the sky tore apart, word spread quickly among the powerful figures of the universe. Lin Badao: the head of the Everlasting Clan, Tianlong: The Current Dragon God and other strongest figures like them flew together toward the sky to see what is happening.

Lin Badao gazed up at the torn sky with a nervous expression. "I can feel so much pressure even though the culprit has not even descended yet," he muttered.

Chen Jin, who stood beside Lin Badao, nodded with a solemn face.

Everyone in the universe had unwavering confidence in their king, if the sky collapsed, the king will hold it, he was a ruler who had vanquished billions of invaders in the blink of an eye.

But for the cultivators who had attained the realm of half-god, their heightened spiritual awareness allowed them to sense the immense power of the descending being. The aura surrounding this enigmatic presence sent shivers down their spines, warning them that it was not a force to be taken lightly.

The pressure emanating from the descending invader was unlike anything they had ever experienced. It surpassed even the awe-inspiring aura of power that their revered king had displayed.

Or maybe the king has never really used his full power?

As they stood in the presence of this descending invader, the strong figures of the universe felt an overwhelming sense of urgency. Just the descending pressure alone of this existence weighed heavily upon them, threatening to force them down to their knees.

They all had confidence in their king, but a hint of fear still lingered within them. In that tense moment, Tianlong, the Dragon God, and current head of the Dragon Clan, suddenly had a change of expression.

In the presence of the descending entity, he could feel an unprecedented and strange pressure— a pressure of the ancient bloodline!

As the strongest dragon in the universe, Tianlong possessed the highest level of bloodline, standing on the brink of transcending into the realm of gods. Yet, in the presence of this descending being, his royal bloodline felt feeble, like that of a mere half-dragon.

Looking at Tianlong's solemn and terrified expression, Lin Badao asked, "Tianlong, you seem to know something about the invader. Please, enlighten us. What do you sense?"

Tianlong, who was looking at the torn layer of the universe sky, couldn't spout a single word.

Well, he didn't need to speak anything too, because what everyone saw next, they didn't need an explanation.

A being slowly descended into the universe, its sheer enormity was beyond comprehension. Galaxies appeared like mere specks of dust in its presence, and the awe-inspiring sight left all who witnessed it speechless and terrified.

Its body was covered with immense scales and each scale was as big as the size of a world and harder than any known element. His scales were gleaming with a divine brilliance, reflecting the light of the cosmos. What was more astonishing was the breathtaking array of colors that adorned these scales—golden, blue, green, red, black, white, yellow, silver, and orange. Each color represented a different attribute, signifying the immense breadth of power the being wielded.

As the being descended, the universe trembled in its presence. A powerful pressure spread through the cosmos, emanating from the colossal figure. It was an overwhelming force that made even the mightiest beings feel small and insignificant.

This was especially true for the Dragon Clan. Every dragon member, no matter their location, sensed an unusual pressure on their bloodline, compelling them to bow in reverence towards the direction of the imposing dragon.

The dragon had descended!

Everyone gasped in awe and terror as they beheld his immense presence.

His eyes were so massive that everyone present felt like mere specks of dust standing before a colossal world. The weight of his gaze suffocated them, leaving them overwhelmed and in awe.

"Hmph, I can't believe that just some mere ants came here to welcome me," the descending dragon sneered, casting an arrogant and humiliating gaze at the half-god cultivators who stood before him.

Much less he knew that they were one of the strongest people present in this universe.

Upon hearing the dragon's arrogant words, a wave of anger surged through everyone present, but what could they do? Just his mere gaze was enough to make them kneel! In front of his dominance, they felt like a mere pawn. They were not even sure that even the dark lord could win against this existence.

This invader was unlike anything they had ever encountered before. Even the vast army of billions of soldiers that they had faced in the past paled in front of the sheer overwhelming presence of this single dragon.

Those invaders used the god of soul to invade the universe through a loophole in the universe barriers, what about this dragon? He effortlessly tore apart the supposedly impenetrable barrier, a feat that had been deemed impossible by all.

Lin Badao could not suppress his fear, yet he mustered his courage and used his full power just to speak in front of the massive dragon. "W-what do you want?" he stammered, trying to maintain some semblance of composure. "Perhaps we are nothing but mere ants before you, but our king can easily defeat you."

The dragon's eyes narrowed in surprise as a voice reached his ears, "Look like an ant has got some guts, huh?" the dragon taunted, his arrogance evident. "No matter who your so-called king is, I can kill him with a mere gaze, just like I am going to do to you."

Hearing the dragon's arrogant and threatening words, a surge of anger washed over everyone present. Even in the presence of such an enormous and menacing being, they couldn't stand to hear anything disrespecting about their king. Despite the overwhelming fear that gripped them, not a single person backed down.

As the dragon's attention remained fixated on the defiant crowd, a voice reached his ears from behind, cutting through the tense atmosphere like a blade, "Oh? You sure you can do it?"

Hearing this voice, the dragon suddenly got stunned and had just one thought in his mind, "When did someone appear behind me?"

He was already at the peak of cultivation, how could someone manage to appear behind him undetected?

Slowly, the dragon turned his head to look behind him and saw a figure which left him in astonishment.

Amidst the vast expanse of the universe, a man clad in a flowing black dress, his long black hair waving around him like a veil of night. The man seemed to be effortlessly suspended in space, exuding an aura of profound power and mystery.

As the spectators witnessed the appearance of the Dark Lord, a collective sense of relief and joy washed them over. This was the person who they believed most!

Dark lord's gaze landed on the head of the enormous dragon with a confident smile on his face " Little kai, have you got so arrogant to think that your gaze is enough to kill me huh?"

As the Dark Lord's confident words reached the ears of the enormous dragon, a visible change came over to the intimidating creature. His once-proud demeanor seemed to falter, and a bead of sweat rolled down his scales.

"M-Master".

The Dark Lord's smile remained serene as he floated above the enormous dragon. With a single fluid motion, he reached out and placed his hand on the dragon's shoulder, exerting a gentle yet immeasurable force.

In the blink of an eye, the Dark Lord's powerful push sent the dragon's enormous body hurtling downward with astonishing speed, leaving everyone present unable to follow its trajectory. As the dragon descended through the vast expanse of the universe, its massive form unleashed destructive forces, obliterating many empty galaxies in its way.

All these happened so fast that the onlookers were left in a state of bewilderment.

Even though they had confidence in their king, but they couldn't help but felt a lingering sense of fear due to the overwhelming pressure emanating from the dragon.

But now looking at it, the onlookers realized that their initial fear had been unnecessary—all their worries had been in vain. Their king, the Dark Lord, is the strongest being ever!

As they exchanged glances, a shared sense of joy and relief filled their hearts, their initial fear had been replaced by overwhelming happiness and pride for their king

The Dark Lord remained unfazed and called out to the dragon with an air of indifference, "Little Kai, I didn't hit you that hard. Come back here before I have to come and pick you up myself."

In a surprising twist of events, the enormous dragon who was still falling down, suddenly stopped and dashed towards the Dark Lord with an incomprehensible speed that left everyone present utterly incapable of even tracking its movement.

As he appeared before the Dark Lord, the dragon began to shower him with affectionate licks, from toe to head.

The Dark Lord stopped him and gave him a little punch, "How many times must I tell you that you are a dragon, not a dog, so act like a dragon."

Everyone present saw this and couldn't believe that this was the same arrogant dragon who was going to kill them just by his mere gaze. The transformation in the dragon's demeanor left them in awe and disbelief.

As the Dark Lord watched, the dragon nodded in acknowledgment and began to undergo a mesmerizing transformation. The immense form of the dragon gradually shrank, and in its place emerged a strikingly handsome human figure. With stunning blue hair and a perfectly sculpted, slender physique, the newly transformed being exuded an air of elegance and charm.

Without wasting any more time, the Dark Lord fixed the broken sky with the wave of a hand and beckoned the now-human form of the dragon to follow him, and together they departed from the scene, making their way back to the grand palace.

Everyone present was still in a state of shock and stood there in the middle of the universe with a dumbfounded expression "Like this, the strongest invader of this universe's history was not able to do anything and became the king's pet?"

If they hadn't witnessed the entire event with their own eyes, they might not have believed what happened there.

Soon, the news of the momentous encounter between the Dark Lord and the formidable dragon spread like wildfire, it reached the ears of every being in the universe. The tale of how their king had single-handedly defeated the strongest invader shocked everyone and their respect for the Dark Lord surged even further within their hearts.
