Wei Chen and Killing God Senior flew around Dinglong Mountain a few times, but despite Killing God Senior unleashing his strongest Mental Strength, he could not detect the presence of the Divine Dragon at all.
With the strongest Mental Strength failing to find it, sending people to search the caves also yielded no results.
It seemed that the dragon-hunting expedition had completely failed.
"Forget it, if we can't find it, we can't force it," Wei Chen said helplessly.
Killing God Senior frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Wei Chenzi, have you considered that the Divine Dragon within Dinglong Mountain might not even have a physical body? It could be quite similar to the fire dragon in your True God World."
"It must have a form of some kind," Wei Chen replied lightly.
"Then it's likely to be at least several hundred feet long. We can approach this from a different angle," Killing God Senior suggested as he flew high into the sky to survey the entire area of Dinglong Mountain.
Wei Chen followed him up into the air and stood beside Killing God Senior. "What do you plan to do?" he asked.
"Look over there," Killing God Senior said with a hint of excitement, pointing towards a distant mountain range.
Wei Chen looked over and was instantly stunned!
From high above, it appeared to be a Divine Dragon lying flat!
"Let's go take a look!"
The two of them shot forward, reaching the mountain range in an instant.
The mountain range was only about six or seven miles long; it was not large and was nestled among other mountains, making it rather inconspicuous. If they hadn't been flying high above, they would never have noticed it.
The two of them slowly descended onto the mountain range, each releasing their Mental Strength to probe the area, yet still unable to detect the presence of the Divine Dragon.
However, Wei Chen and Killing God Senior felt their hearts racing. They sensed that the Divine Dragon was very likely hidden beneath the mountains!
"Wei Chenzi, that esteemed individual confirmed that the Divine Dragon exists in Dinglong Mountain, so it can't be wrong. You've tried so many methods and still can't find the Divine Dragon; thus, our current location must have a high probability," Killing God Senior said.
Wei Chen nodded and replied, "I feel the same way. We've searched the main peak of Dinglong Mountain many times and overlooked the surrounding mountain clusters. It's hard to tell that there are hidden mountain ranges here."
"What do you plan to do?" Killing God Senior asked.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and said, "If we directly blast open this mountain range, if the Divine Dragon is indeed inside, we would completely offend it. Perhaps we wouldn't survive its wrath. The Bloodshed Shop hasn't arrived yet; we would be doomed."
"Blasting open the mountain range is definitely not an option. No matter what, we cannot harm the Divine Dragon's body; otherwise, it would be too troublesome," Killing God Senior stated.
Wei Chen suggested, "Killing God Senior, how about we carefully scrape away some of the soil from the mountain? That way, we won't harm the Divine Dragon."
"That works; we have no other choice. Let's start from what seems to be the dragon's tail," Killing God Senior proposed.
Starting from what appeared to be the dragon's head might quickly awaken the Divine Dragon, but that would also be very dangerous. For safety's sake, beginning from the tail was more reliable.
Wei Chen didn't let anyone else come over; their combined strength was more than enough to remove some soil without much effort.
After an hour of working together, they had cleared away the soil at the tail end of the mountain range.
A shimmering silver dragon tail appeared before Wei Chen and Killing God Senior's eyes.
The Divine Dragon was indeed here!
"Wei Chenzi, it seems this proves the saying that one can find what they seek without much effort! The location chosen by the Divine Dragon is both low-key and direct. The layer of dirt on it is merely two zhang thick, and from the softness of this soil, it’s clear that it has accumulated naturally over time. This Divine Dragon has likely been sleeping for a very long time," Killing God Senior remarked.
Wei Chen replied, "Let’s keep digging. We’ll think of a way to wake it up later."
The two continued their work, and after several hours, the entire Divine Dragon, shimmering in silver, appeared before Wei Chen and Killing God Senior.
The Divine Dragon's body stretched over a thousand zhang, its silver scales majestic and far more impressive than Fire Dragon Augustus.
Wei Chen and Killing God Senior flew to the front of the Divine Dragon, hovering just outside its eyelids. The Divine Dragon showed no reaction whatsoever; in fact, Wei Chen and Killing God Senior felt that it didn’t even have a breath.
Only a faint heartbeat could be sensed.
Exchanging glances, Wei Chen and Killing God Senior were at a loss for what to do. Waking such a slumbering Divine Dragon that had been asleep for countless millennia would be difficult. Moreover, if they forced it awake, the wrath of the Divine Dragon would bring disaster to everyone in Dinglong Mountain.
"How about we first move it into your True God World? In there, no matter how much it stirs, it won’t cause any major trouble," suggested Killing God Senior.
Wei Chen nodded but frowned as he asked, "If it doesn’t voluntarily enter the True God World, how am I supposed to get it inside?"
"Just like you would transport goods into your True God World. Give it a try," Killing God Senior advised.
Wei Chen acknowledged with an "mm" and flew into the air. A vast surge of Divine Power erupted forth, enveloping the Silver Dragon completely.
The Silver Dragon remained motionless, showing no signs of waking; it was deeply asleep.
Carefully controlling his Divine Power, Wei Chen attempted to "uproot" the Divine Dragon. With great effort, he managed to pull the lower half of the Divine Dragon's body out of the soil and send it into the True God World.
The size and weight of the Divine Dragon were staggering; Wei Chen had to exert nearly all of his Divine Power to accomplish this feat.
"Killing God Senior" said, "I'll go in and keep an eye on things, trying to wake him up. With Augusto around, he shouldn't be too reckless."
"Don't worry, in my True God World, no one dares to act recklessly. With such a big shot here, who would?" Wei Chen replied with a calm smile.
Killing God Senior thought about it and felt reassured.
Inside the True God World, as Silver Dragon entered, it was immediately surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three, along with Great Xia Divine King and Fire Dragon Augustus all rushed over in an instant.
A group of people and dragons surrounded Silver Dragon, expressing their astonishment. Uncle and his two companions were the most worried; dealing with one Fire Dragon Augustus was already difficult enough, and now another Silver Dragon had arrived. How were they supposed to manage?
Killing God Senior stepped forward in front of everyone and said, "This dragon is the Divine Dragon from Dinglong Mountain, having slept for who knows how many thousands of years. Everyone think of a way to wake him up without causing any harm."
"This is simple; I'll just roast him a bit and see if he wakes up," Augusto laughed heartily and prepared to take action.
Wei Chen had been closely monitoring the situation in True God World. Hearing Augusto's words, he immediately sent a message: "Augusto, you'd better behave yourself. If anything goes wrong, you won't be able to handle it."
"Don't worry, big brother. I know what I'm doing. I'm just going to scare him awake; I won't actually hurt him. Silver Dragon has a good relationship with the Fire Dragon Clan; my flames will only sting him a bit, not burn him."
After hearing Augusto's message, Wei Chen reluctantly agreed. Let him give it a try; after all, there wasn't much risk involved.
Uncle and Killing God Senior stepped back to a distance, watching Augusto intently. They knew that Augusto must have received Wei Chen's consent to act this way, so they didn't stop him.
Besides, who could stop Augusto? In True God World, he was like a tyrannosaurus rex—charging around without anyone daring to provoke him.
Augusto flew above Silver Dragon and unleashed a torrent of flames upon it.
After spewing flames for quite some time, the head of the Silver Dragon was nearly scorched, releasing an intoxicating aroma of roasted meat.
Finally, the Silver Dragon's breath stirred, and its enormous eyes slowly opened.
As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw a massive dragon head engulfed in flames, making faces right in front of it.
The Silver Dragon seemed startled and suddenly took flight, dragging its long body away to a distance while glaring at Augusto.
"Fire Dragon Clan?" the Silver Dragon asked in human speech.
Augusto laughed heartily. "Silver Dragon, you're awake! Call me big brother!"
"Big brother? Damn it! I’ll call you Paralyze's big brother! You little brat think you can make me call you big brother? I'm about to reach adulthood! What the hell are you waking me up for?" The Silver Dragon roared in anger, swinging its massive tail as if ready to duel.
By age, the Silver Dragon was indeed nearing adulthood and was significantly older than Augusto. Being dragons, it could easily see through Augusto's background; his age was not even half that of the Silver Dragon's. Although neither had reached adulthood, in terms of seniority, the Silver Dragon was the elder.
The Silver Dragon was not pleased to be awakened. It had been looking forward to sleeping soundly until reaching maturity but was disturbed by Augusto. How could it be happy about that?
Even though the relationship between the Fire Dragon Clan and the Silver Dragon Clan was good, the Silver Dragon showed no courtesy. After roaring, it charged fiercely at Augusto.
Augusto did not hold back either. Instead of breathing fire, he lowered his massive head slightly, positioning the hardest part at the front, and whipped his tail as he shot forward to collide with the Silver Dragon.
Crash!
It was like two planets colliding; Augusto and the Silver Dragon crashed into each other with a force that caused the air between them to explode with a deafening sonic boom.
In the next moment, Augusto rolled his eyes back and slammed headfirst into the ground.
"How dare the Fire Dragon Clan challenge us head-on?" the Silver Dragon muttered, landing beside Augusto. It extended its claw and tapped Augusto, seemingly checking to see if he was dead.
But at that moment, Augusto suddenly unleashed a torrent of pure flames from his mouth, instantly turning a large area beneath the Silver Dragon's abdomen pitch black.
The silver scales in that region of the Silver Dragon were completely burned away, exposing large patches of flesh and blood.
Without hesitation, Augusto opened his mouth again and spewed forth another blast of fire.
In pain, the Silver Dragon dared not engage Augusto any longer. From the temperature of Augusto's flames, it could tell his strength; despite his age, his combat power had reached that of an adult fire dragon. How could it possibly fight back?
The Silver Dragon flicked its tail and swiftly retreated, while Augusto relentlessly pursued.
Blood slowly oozed from Augusto's forehead, concealed by the flames so that no one could see.
His bones had been shattered from the impact.
Going head-to-head against the Silver Dragon Clan had left him at a disadvantage. Caught off guard, he had sustained serious injuries. It was no wonder he had pretended to be dead before launching a surprise attack on the Silver Dragon.
The two massive Divine Dragons disappeared from sight, and onlookers eagerly followed suit. Even the Great Xia Divine King, who typically stayed uninvolved, hesitated for a few seconds before taking flight to join them.
