"Look like we are the only ones left." Apollo looked at the dragon-armoured transcendent.

"Yes, indeed it seems so, but it didn’t matter. It was just surprising there was a remnant of the Celestial Palace hiding here, but that now ends."

"From now on this land belongs to the Ancient Crystal Dragon clan." The grand elder’s domineering declaration echoed across the battlefield, as though warning all of Rion never to oppose the Ancient Crystal Dragon Clan again.

"Old lizard, you dream too much, but being worthless, the only thing you can do is dream. Sadly, most dreams never come true."

"Come let me awaken you and understand the sad reality." With that said, Apollo made his move.

He punched right straight towards the grand elder with terrifying power that seemed to collapse space and shatter stars and moons.

Boom

It was like a catastrophe as an extreme concentrated power of punch seemed to change the gravity around them. It caught the grand elder by surprise.

The dragon elder’s expression changed slightly. "What terrifying physical strength—!"

Bang!

It directly collided with him; at first he was calm, but only after being hit by it did he feel the terror of this punch.

Crack!

The dragon-scale armour trembled violently as the elder was unprepared and completely lost balance. Like a meteor, his body shot across the sky at terrifying speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several mountains exploded one after another as his body tore through them before finally crashing into the earth tens of miles away.

The entire battlefield fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the destroyed mountain range in the distance, their minds unable to process what they had just witnessed.

It all happened very fast, as a second ago the grand elder was being domineering, and the next moment he was sent flying.

"Tch, that armour is really good. " Apollo, standing in the sky, didn’t care about other thoughts as he looked towards the rubbles of the mountains.

From the rubble, the grand elder slowly came out, but his expression was a bit different. "Damm, this simple punch almost broke through my defences."

He murmured with shock; if it weren’t for the Supreme Crystal Dragon armour, he might have been injured in this first clash. After feeling the strength of the punch, he couldn’t help but look above the calmly standing figure in the sky.

He thought that the remnant from the celestial palace was the strongest here, but now it seems that might not be the case.

"Bring it on." Apollo glanced at the ancient crystal dragon clan’s grand elder with a mocking smile and showed him his middle finger.

The grand elder was confused, as he didn’t understand what ’middle finger’ means, but he knew from Apollo’s expression it wasn’t something good.

"Okay... okay, you are strong! Then let me show you the Crystal Dragon clan’s strength."

"Roar!"

Boom!

The crystal dragon armour on him seemed to roar and explode with the terrifying aura of dragons. The crystal scales on it seemed to start to glow, and then it covered grand elder entirely from head to toe.

His hands and feet transformed into crystal-like dragon claws, and a tail appeared behind him. He at that moment seems to have transformed into a half-dragon. His aura spiked; it became so wild and primal that people looking from far felt their souls and blood suppressed beyond level.

"Tch, finally showing some real strength." Apollo’s calm voice echoed through the shattered sky as he looked at the transformed Grand Elder of the Crystal Dragon Clan.

"You arrogant junior!" the Grand Elder roared. "You dare provoke the Ancient Crystal Dragon Clan again and again. Today I will personally tear apart your soul and let the world understand the majesty of dragons!"

Boom!

The dragon’s claw descended.

Space exploded layer after layer as enormous rules of power and earth condensed around the claw.

A massive claw of a dragon, bigger than mountains, seemed to cover the sky. Apollo standing in front of it appeared to be like an ant who would be crushed immediately.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the shocking scene; they wanted to see what was going to happen.

Apollo’s eyes glowed and a smile appeared on his face. "That’s right, bring it on." And then the mysterious aura around him started to change, and everyone clearly felt his true realm, which shocked everyone present.

Because the aura around was that of only the first-order transcendent level, which was many times weaker than they all expected.

But what happened next made them doubt their eyes as, the next moment, Apollo made his move.

Apollo stepped forward and raised his fist.

"Void Breaker."

Then he punched straight toward the colossal dragon claw as it seemed to shatter the void. And the two attacks collided.

Boom!

Crack! Crack!

And like shattering glass, the sky seemed to shatter, and Apollo’s small fist, which seemed to be meaningless in front of the colossal dragon claw, instantly destroyed it.

"What!" Grand elder who was grinning, was shocked as the attack was destroyed just like that. He was sure this would end it when Apollo revealed his realm. But now he easily destroyed his attack with only the first-order transcendent realm.

He couldn’t believe what was happening; such a heaven-defying ability to overcome realms was even impossible for ancient beings of the first era. But it was happening right in front of him.

As he was shocked, Apollo wasn’t going to stop as he quickly disappeared and appeared right in front of grand elder. "You are quite sturdy with that armour, so let’s try different things."

"Void breaker."

Crack! Crack!...

And space around him again shattered like glass, sending the grand elder flying again. Mountains exploded one after another as his body crashed through them.

"Its strength is all right," Apollo murmured, feeling its strength. ’Void breaker’ was something that he just developed during his closed-door training.

It was not especially complicated, as it mainly utilised the Space Rule, but Apollo held high expectations for its future development.

He wanted to create a true transcendent divine ability focused purely on his overwhelming physical power and use the nature of space to pass through defences themselves to annihilate opponents with terrifying defences or powerful armours, like the grand elder’s.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless to have such a terrifying body if he didn’t use its full potential.
