Chapter 483: Saint Xi Awakens, Legendary Giant Dragon
Li Wei and Gu Sewei had been keeping a close eye on Saint Xi’s condition ever since the Time Dragon Egg began to change.
They saw that Saint Xi wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, so they continued their Cultivation while keeping watch.
After waiting for several days, Saint Xi’s moment of awakening finally arrived.
KRAK KRAK KRAK!
While Li Wei was in the middle of his Cultivation, he heard a shattering sound from outside.
He quickly ended his Cultivation and opened his eyes to see the Power of Time enveloping Saint Xi gradually disappear.
A moment later, Gu Sewei walked over as well.
The two of them stared at the dissipating Power of Time, watching as Saint Xi, who had been motionless for eight years, finally began to move.
Saint Xi’s Dragon Claw twitched slightly, as if it had hit a power button, and then her entire body started to move.
Li Wei watched Saint Xi and suddenly said, "Is it just my imagination, or is Saint Xi’s body getting bigger?"
Gu Sewei shook her head. "It’s not your imagination. She really is getting bigger."
For the past eight years, Saint Xi hadn’t changed at all.
But the moment she broke free, Saint Xi’s body began to undergo a drastic and obvious transformation, growing with incredible speed.
Originally, Saint Xi was less than three meters long.
In the blink of an eye, she grew right before Li Wei’s eyes into a behemoth over thirty meters long.
Saint Xi’s body now filled the entire Time Secret Realm.
Saint Xi slowly opened her eyes. She tried to move her body, feeling a bit awkward, only to find the surrounding space was too small for her to even stretch out properly.
She reluctantly gave up on the idea of moving around.
For Li Wei and Gu Sewei, only eight years had passed inside the Time Secret Realm.
But for Saint Xi, who was inside the Time Dragon Egg, the influence of the Power of Time had accelerated her growth to a thousand years.
She had gone directly from the Juvenile Stage to the Adulthood Stage.
She had skipped the Growth Stage entirely.
As a result, Saint Xi had directly obtained the immense power of a Holy Giant Dragon in its Adulthood Stage.
A Holy Giant Dragon that reaches its Adulthood Stage is a Legendary Giant Dragon.
As Saint Xi’s body transformed, Li Wei’s own body was also undergoing an astonishing change.
He felt an incomparably immense power pouring into his body.
The terrifying Life Force of a Legendary Holy Dragon flooded into his small body like an ocean, making him feel as if he were about to burst.
In addition to Life Force, there were also various terrifying abilities from the Legendary Holy Dragon.
However, limited by Li Wei’s own power Level, he did not receive all the abilities of a Legendary Holy Dragon.
However, the few Extraordinary Traits he had previously obtained related to the Holy Giant Dragon underwent a world-shaking transformation.
[Holy Giant Dragon’s Life Sharing (Legendary)]: Lifespan +30,000 years. (At the Juvenile Stage, a Holy Giant Dragon’s lifespan increases as it grows, reaches its Peak at the Complete Stage, and gradually declines in old age.)
[Holy Dragon Body (Legendary)]: Immune to negative statuses below Legendary Level, such as curses, poisons, petrification, paralysis, burning, and stuns.
[Power of the Giant Dragon (Legendary)]: Gain the Power and physique of a Legendary Holy Dragon. (At the Juvenile Stage, this increases along with the Contracted Dragon Race’s strength, but is limited by one’s own Level and cannot be fully utilized.)
[Holy Power (Legendary)]: All attacks are imbued with Legendary Holy Power, ignoring all defenses.
All four Epic Level Extraordinary Traits had advanced to become Legendary Level Extraordinary Traits.
Because his Power of the Giant Dragon was limited by his own Level, he could not unleash the true Power of a Legendary Holy Dragon.
Once Li Wei’s own Level increases, his physique and Power will also gradually approach that of a Legendary Giant Dragon.
Standing beside Li Wei, Gu Sewei felt the powerful aura radiating from him and couldn’t help but feel a tremor of fear.
It wasn’t that she was afraid Li Wei would harm her; it was merely the instinctual awe that a lower-level life form feels in the presence of a higher-level one.
If she had to describe it, Li Wei had begun to unconsciously radiate a Dragon Mighty capable of intimidating other living beings.
"Huuu!"
Saint Xi lowered her head, bringing it down in front of Li Wei.
"Li Wei, it’s so small in here. I feel really uncomfortable."
"Ah, why did you get so small?"
Saint Xi blinked her golden Dragon Eyes, each one larger than Li Wei’s head, and spoke with a confused tone.
Her voice had also changed from that of a baby to the clear, bell-like tone of a young woman.
Li Wei patted her nose; her head was so large that he couldn’t possibly reach the top of it.
He smiled and said, "It’s too small in here, so let’s get out."
After Saint Xi finished absorbing the Power of Time, Li Wei could clearly sense that the Time Secret Realm itself seemed to have undergone some changes. It was time to leave.
Hearing this, Saint Xi stopped fussing over why Li Wei had gotten smaller.
She raised her head, closed her eyes, and focused for a moment. The seven-colored Time Dragon Scale on her brow began to shimmer with light.
The Time Dragon Scale had completely fused with her.
Saint Xi had obtained a small amount of the Time Dragon’s Power of Time.
She could now easily control the Time Secret Realm.
Saint Xi could sense that after she had completely devoured the Power of Time left in the Secret Realm by the Time Dragon, the realm itself was beginning to dissipate.
The flow of time within it was also gradually aligning with that of the real world.
A seven-colored light bloomed, enveloping Saint Xi’s massive body as well as the figures of Li Wei and Gu Sewei.
The light vanished, and the three of them disappeared from the Time Secret Realm.
This Time Secret Realm, which had given rise to so many legends on the Snowfield, was about to disappear forever.
Suddenly, a shadow streaked through the currents of time. The Time Secret Realm, which had been on the verge of dissipating, seemed to reverse in time, restoring itself to the state it was in when Li Wei and Saint Xi had first entered.
Fortunately, this did not affect their departure from the Time Secret Realm.
A seven-colored light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pitch-black and gloomy Extreme Cold Abyss.
Immediately after, a massive figure appeared in the incomparably frigid Extreme Cold Abyss.
"Achoo!"
The cold air made Saint Xi’s nose feel a bit uncomfortable, and she let out a huge sneeze, causing the surrounding air currents to shift.
Gu Sewei tightened the thick, fur-lined Mage Robe around herself.
Even though she was protected by the Ice Elf, she could still feel a trace of the chill.
After obtaining the Legendary Holy Dragon Body, the cold no longer had any effect on Li Wei and could not harm him.
He merely felt a slight discomfort.
It was just like how Saint Xi sneezed when she suddenly encountered the cold air.
A thunderous "GURURURU" sound rumbled from Saint Xi’s stomach.
She lowered her head and complained, "Li Wei, I’m so hungry. I’m starving to death."
Li Wei patted her foot and said, "Just hang in there a little longer. I’ll let you eat your fill once we get out of here."
Saint Xi’s body had undergone a massive transformation. Although some of the energy for it was supplied by the Power of Time, the immense energy requirement for her change in size still left her feeling intensely hungry.
Hearing this, Saint Xi had no choice but to resignedly extend a claw, dig out a chunk of ice harder than steel, and toss it into her mouth.
There was nothing else to eat right now, so she could only gnaw on ice.
Fortunately, the ice in the Extreme Cold Abyss also contained a decent amount of Ice Magic Energy.
To Saint Xi, it was like eating a frozen block of sugar water.
It was better than nothing.
