Chapter 722: Fuse, Archdragon (2/2)

For now though, he needed to rest since the fusion took a toll on him.

---

Time passed by, Vendrick was accompanied by a long term friend: Loneliness.

He spent a year and three months in the Eastern Continent. He didn't go back to the tribe since there's no need to.

During this long term seclusion of his, he managed to do many things.

First and foremost, his assimilation with the Infernal Dragon was complete and thorough. He mastered a new element to his arsenal, the Infernal Flames. Along with his Lightning Tribulation, his destructive capabilities reach a frightening degree but that's nowhere near enough so he kept going.

Using the Crystalized Bloodstones he received from the Imperial Fairy, he repeatedly refined his bloodline which allowed him to transform continuously. He had lost count on how many times his scales fell off to make room for new and better ones.

Wings and tail grew out because of his bloodline refinement. It was confusing to get use to them at first but he managed. Eventually, everything came instinctual for him. He didn't transform into a full fledged dragon, in fact that's just straight impossible so this wings and tail in addition to the scales and limbs were everything to it for him.

That of course doesn't mean that he became weaker, oh no. Assuming that will he a terrible mistake.

Vendrick's raw physical strength was mind-boggling. He can pulverize a mountain with a flick of his finger, he can run laps around the continent within a second, so on and so forth. All of this was thanks to his bloodline refinement.

In addition to his physical strength, Vendrick's law insights grew at an alarming pace as well. He already has Creation, Destruction, and Lightning on his arsenal before coming here. With his fusion with the dragon he gained the Infernal Flames which also gave him insights to Fire Laws.

During his seclusion, he improved his insights to the things he already has and mastered them completely. But that's not the end of it.

As what was previously mentioned, he's training to reach the Archdragon stage. He only needed to focus on his body but it doesn't mean that the insights will stop there. No, it won't stop there, in fact it would grow even more.

Spacetime, Karma, Extreme Yang, Elusive Yin...eventually, he understood the Heavenly Laws itself.

On the day he understood the Heavenly Laws, Vendrick's ascension began. Numerous shackles shattered from his body. Divine Light poured from above, drenching his body, cleansing all mortal filth away and transforming him into something that is beyond understanding. Something beyond this world.

The Heavenly Laws cam after him, it sent a frightening tribulation to test him but...well, he mastered the use of Lightning Tribulation so that was nothing but a relaxing massage for him.

Vendrick was drunk to feeling of ascension, granted that this isn't him in the end, the process still remained extremely valuable to him.

It was absurd really, it took him only a few years here to ascend from the very bottom to where he is now, while in reality he's struggling. Still, make no mistake.

Using the power scale of the Divine Realm in this place, what he achieved is simply the Empyrean Knight Stage not the Divinity.

Still though, this much should be enough to get rid of the last obstacle chaining him to this place...
