The surrounding space flickered between darkness and light. The moment light appeared, it was instantly swallowed by darkness; the moment darkness formed, it was immediately dispelled by light. These two opposing, mutually exclusive forces seemed to be waging a relentless battle for existence, each striving to assert its dominance while expelling the other.
Yet, Ye Tianxie remained motionless, his eyes closed, his expression as calm as still water—neither joy nor sorrow touched his face, as if he was completely unaware of the changes occurring around him. The flickering light illuminated the aged face of Long Mo’ya. He remained silent, his stiff and dazed expression fixated on Ye Tianxie and the transformation of the Dragon God Stone. Never before had his heart trembled with such intensity. This was an unimaginable anomaly, a miracle beyond comprehension. After his initial shock subsided, an insatiable desire took hold within him—he was desperate to see the outcome. What would happen when dragon power, imbued with both light and darkness, was awakened? What kind of force would ultimately emerge? Would it be the power of light, the power of darkness, or would the two opposing forces neutralize each other, leaving only ordinary dragon power? Or perhaps…
The fourth possibility—a theoretically impossible outcome—made his heart pound wildly once more.
The alternating flashes of light and darkness continued for several minutes. Apart from this strange phenomenon, the area was eerily silent, so quiet it was unsettling. Even Guo Guo had retreated to a safe distance, her wide eyes and open mouth fixed on the transformation taking place within her master. Unlike Long Mo’ya’s shock, however, her expression reflected fascination and excitement—as though she were witnessing something novel and thrilling. And beneath it all, a deeply buried sense of exhilaration.
Finally, the scene changed once more, and this time, what unfolded before Long Mo’ya’s eyes nearly caused them to burst from their sockets.
The ceaseless alternation of light and darkness ceased. On Ye Tianxie’s body and the Dragon God Stone—both light and darkness now coexisted simultaneously.
On the left side of Ye Tianxie’s body, an intense, sacred radiance shone so brightly that it was nearly impossible to gaze upon. It was pure, untainted light, untouched by any other force. Meanwhile, on the right side, a darkness as deep as an endless abyss enveloped him. It was not just ordinary darkness—it was deeper, more unfathomable than any Long Mo’ya had ever encountered. It felt as if anything caught within it would fall into an eternal, inescapable abyss.
At the center of Ye Tianxie’s body, as well as the very core of the Dragon God Stone, a stark and piercing boundary separated light from darkness.
Light and darkness had defied natural law, coexisting within a single vessel. The light did not dispel the darkness, nor did the darkness consume the light. This was a phenomenon beyond reason, a sight that shattered all understanding—a reality so impossible that it took tangible form upon Ye Tianxie and the Dragon God Stone.
Ye Tianxie’s eyes remained closed, yet at some point, his brows furrowed slightly, as though he were enduring an overwhelming sensation. At the same time, Long Mo’ya’s eyes widened to their absolute limit. As a dragon with divine-level strength, how could he not perceive it? The left side of Ye Tianxie’s body emanated a dragon force imbued with light, while the right side exuded dragon force steeped in darkness.
It was… it was truly happening. Both forces existed at the same time!
Had the natural order collapsed? Why was something so utterly impossible occurring? Had the very principles of existence been overturned?
Yet, it was still far from over.
As if governed by an unseen accord or restrained by an incomprehensible force, light and darkness continued their impossible coexistence upon Ye Tianxie’s body. They expanded, growing more intense, their reach extending further and further. Gradually, a sphere of energy formed around Ye Tianxie—a perfect balance of black and white. It fully enveloped him, growing larger and larger until it extended to Long Mo’ya’s feet, forcing him to step back, one step at a time.
Behind him loomed an endless cliff. Long Mo’ya retreated until there was nowhere left to go, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the scene before him. He feared that even the briefest blink might cause him to miss some crucial moment of this unprecedented event.
Then—
Whoosh!
A bizarre, indescribable sound shattered Long Mo’ya’s vision. The black-and-white sphere of light suddenly expanded in an explosive burst, spreading outward like a detonation. Long Mo’ya, now completely engulfed in the radiant energy, saw nothing but pure, immaculate light.
Neither he nor Ye Tianxie saw it—at the very moment of the explosion, the Dragon God Stone silently dissipated like mist. Hidden within the intense collision of light and darkness, a small, pure-white silhouette shot forth from the heart of the Dragon God Stone…
The light and darkness surrounding Ye Tianxie vanished in an instant. Yet now, surrounding him was something even more incomprehensible—an aura of colorless light.
Ding… Your Dragon Soul power has begun to awaken. Your power has been classified as the Evil Soul Force, existing between the sacred and the sinful. A new profession has been generated based on this power. Please name your profession… The name must include ‘Evil Dragon.’
In the silence, a melodic system prompt echoed in his ears. Ye Tianxie’s lips curled slightly. Without hesitation, he murmured:
"Rebellious Evil Dragon."
Rebellious… He had always harbored an innate defiance.
Ding… The profession ‘Rebellious Evil Dragon’ has been successfully named!
Ding… You have successfully advanced to the exclusive profession ‘Rebellious Evil Dragon’! Strength +45, Constitution +45, Agility +45, Spirit +45, HP +1150, MP +1150. For every level-up, you will receive 5 free attribute points, along with an additional +3 to Strength, Constitution, Agility, and Spirit. Each level-up will also grant +20 HP and +20 MP. Every point of Strength grants +2 Attack, every point of Constitution grants +10 HP and +1 Defense, every point of Agility grants +1 Accuracy and +1 Evasion, and every point of Spirit grants +2 Magic Attack and +10 MP.
Ding… You have obtained the exclusive abilities of ‘Rebellious Evil Dragon’: ‘Evil Dragon’s Body,’ ‘Evil Dragon’s Claw,’ ‘Evil Dragon’s Eye,’ and ‘Evil Dragon’s Soul.’ The dragon-exclusive forbidden skill ‘Dragon Soul Burst’ has been unlocked.
Ye Tianxie’s mind reeled as he absorbed the information. The sheer strength of these enhancements was staggering—an immediate increase of 180 attribute points!
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
And then, as he examined the four unique abilities, even with his unshakable will, his mind briefly blanked out in shock. He had never imagined that such an overwhelmingly powerful profession could exist within Destiny. This was a game-breaking existence!
Finally, his gaze fell upon the last skill—Dragon Soul Burst. Its description contained only eight words:
"Ignite the dragon soul—annihilate everything."
Just eight words. No details on its damage, range, cost, or effects. Nothing—except those chillingly absolute words: "Annihilate everything."
What level of destruction did it take to be worthy of such a phrase?
Suppressing the surge of emotions within him, Ye Tianxie opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. The powerful light and darkness had completely vanished. Even the Dragon God Stone—the only source of light here—had been utterly obliterated. Yet, despite the absolute darkness, he realized something astonishing: he could see everything perfectly—even the tiniest pebbles on the ground.
Evil Dragon’s Eye—the eyes that could pierce through absolute darkness and absolute light!
At the same time, he caught the gleam in Long Moyá''s eyes—despite his dazed expression—and instantly realized that even he could now perceive everything in this dark environment. But then, he had existed here for thousands of years—how could he not have adapted to the darkness?
Long Moyá did not look at Ye Tianxie but instead stared blankly at the shattered remnants of the Dragon God''s Stone. The treasure he had guarded for a millennium—the most precious relic of the dragon race, even regarded as a divine symbol—had, at this very moment, disappeared before his eyes without a trace.
Sensing Ye Tianxie''s gaze, Long Moyá slowly turned his head toward him. His sharp eyes flickered unsteadily, but Ye Tianxie did not see the expected fury over the stone’s destruction. Instead, there was only profound shock and disbelief.
"It''s broken… gone… The Dragon God''s Stone has actually… vanished…" he murmured, his voice hollow. For someone who had devoted his entire existence to guarding the stone, how could he possibly accept such an outcome?
Suddenly, he let out a long sigh. His dazed expression gradually cleared as he looked at Ye Tianxie and slowly spoke: "In the history of my dragon clan, those who possess either light or darkness attributes are extremely rare, yet every one of them becomes an elite among dragons. But a dragon that possesses both light and darkness… has never existed. The Dragon God''s Stone shattered because of you, and there are only two possible reasons for that—either the power that struck it was overwhelming, or the potential it sensed was so immense that it could not endure, crumbling into dust… I do not know what the existence of a half-dragon human like you signifies..."
Ye Tianxie remained silent. When he first heard about the Hidden Dragon Abyss from Grandmaster Mage Kong Xiu in Tianchen City, he had longed to find it. However, he had never expected to arrive here in such a short time—and in such an extraordinary manner. Not only that, but he had also smoothly acquired a profession of his own—one completely different from all other players. A profession so powerful that it far exceeded his expectations and imagination.
Beneath his calm exterior, excitement surged through him. Now that he had achieved his goal, whatever Long Moyá had to say no longer mattered. With an apologetic expression—whether genuine or not—he said, "The Dragon God''s Stone must be very important to your dragon clan… I didn''t expect it to disappear because of me."
"The Dragon God''s Stone is far more important to us than you can imagine. But… sigh, this isn''t your fault either…"
Suddenly, as if struck by a realization, Long Moyá’s expression froze, and his face changed drastically. "The Dragon God''s Stone has vanished… the Mysterious Fox… Where is the Mysterious Fox inside it!?"
The moment he spoke, his gaze instantly shot toward Ye Tianxie''s feet, searching intently. His dragon eyes, capable of seeing in the dark, quickly locked onto a tiny, exposed tip of a snow-white tail—despite its attempt to remain hidden.
At the same time, Ye Tianxie also noticed it. The small snow-white fox that had once existed within the Dragon God''s Stone was now curled up at his feet, using his leg to shield itself. When both pairs of eyes focused on it, the little fox realized it had been discovered. In a panic, it lifted its head and looked up at Ye Tianxie, who gazed at it with a mixture of curiosity and astonishment. Its dark, misty eyes shone with a plea—timid, frightened, and desperate.
The atmosphere grew tense in an instant. Long Moyá''s entire being stiffened with alertness, as though facing a formidable enemy.
No other creatures knew of the Mysterious Fox’s existence, but within the dragon clan, it was the subject of terrifying legends. It was said that even the mightiest Dragon God had exhausted his life force and all his power merely to seal it—unable to destroy it entirely. That alone spoke of its unimaginable dreadfulness.
However, just as Long Moyá was about to unleash his full might, his aura suddenly relaxed. For when his energy locked onto the Mysterious Fox, he found its power pathetically weak—so feeble that it felt like an insignificant creature, barely even at level ten. It posed no threat to him whatsoever.
Ye Tianxie felt a subtle tug at his heartstrings as he looked at the little snow fox. Its helpless, pleading gaze reminded him of Guoguo’s expression when begging for candy. His mind flashed back to the soft, childlike voice he had heard earlier—that voice had come from this tiny fox.
In a moment of instinct, he crouched down, gently picked it up, and cradled it in his arms. He saw the joy and warmth in its eyes as it curled up against his chest, snuggling deeper as if trying to merge into his body.
Mysterious Spirit Snow Fox
Level: 0
HP: 100
Origin: Unknown
Sealed within the Dragon God''s Stone by the Dragon God seventy million years ago, just recently released.
Petite in size, gentle in nature, highly ornamental, does not initiate attacks on any living being.
Skills: None
Weaknesses: None
The moment Ye Tianxie''s Evil Dragon Eyes landed on the small fox, its information automatically appeared in his mind, momentarily stunning him.
A mere level 0 creature with only 100 HP… Could this truly be the same terrifying Mysterious Fox that once drove the mightiest Dragon God to despair?
No… Sealed for seventy million years… Having survived within the Dragon God''s Stone for all that time… How could it possibly be as simple as it appeared?
"Put it down. I must erase its existence."
Long Moyá, who had been ready to strike, hesitated mid-attack, stopping his hand midway to avoid harming Ye Tianxie. He frowned deeply.
Ye Tianxie gently shook his head and smiled. "Elder Long, with your power, you should be able to tell—right now, it’s weak. Weaker than even me. Even if it was an evil fox, it poses no threat now. Besides, as a mighty dragon with divine strength, would you really strike down such a tiny, harmless creature? Don''t you think it’s… rather cute?"
The little fox lifted its head and gazed at Ye Tianxie with gratitude.
"You’re wrong," Long Moyá said gravely, shaking his head. "If it weren’t a creature of great evil, why would the Dragon God have sacrificed his life to seal it? If it weren’t powerful, how could it have forced the Dragon God to such extremes? And how could it have survived within the Dragon God''s Stone for so long? Its power was exhausted by resisting the stone’s suppression for seventy million years… Yet even after all this time, it still lives. Its true strength far surpasses legend."
His expression grew solemn. "Now that it’s free, its power will quickly recover. When that day comes… who will be able to stop it? The catastrophe it may bring could be beyond redemption. Put it down. I must destroy it."
Ye Tianxie remained unfazed. The fox’s description clearly stated its peaceful nature—it was delicate, tame, and incapable of attacking others. How could such a creature be truly evil? Even its appearance bore no hint of malevolence.
He held the little fox tighter. Perhaps it was its pitiful gaze or its desperate cry for help that had touched him, but he found himself completely unwilling to let it die before him. When he decided to protect something, no one—not even a dragon—could make him back down.
With unwavering determination, he said, "I trust my instincts. This is not an evil fox, but a pitiful creature that has been sealed away for far too long. It deserves compassion, not persecution. I believe there’s more to its story than we know."
Long Moyá’s gaze darkened. "You are powerful and full of potential. I admire that, and I would aid you in any way I can… But you are still young, too ruled by emotion. One day, that will cost you dearly."
"Heh, I’ve never regretted my choices," Ye Tianxie said casually, stroking the fox’s soft, velvety fur. The little fox nestled closer, completely at ease.
Long Moyá took a deep breath. "Appearances can deceive. Your feelings can deceive you. Can you be absolutely certain it is not an evil fox?"
With firm resolve, Ye Tianxie met his gaze. "Spare it. I will bear all consequences… if there are any at all."
