Coiling Dragon: Reborn As The Armored Razorback Wyrm

The Yulan Plane, Necropolis of the Gods.

Beirut had just arrived at the eighteenth floor when, with a casual sweep of his divine sense over the continent, he immediately noticed that his three sons had once again sneaked out.

"It seems I haven't been training them hard enough," Beirut sighed.

He had long been researching ways to grant his three sons Earth, Water, and Fire affinities, never ceasing in his experiments.

Throughout the cosmos, the Four Divine Beasts Clan was the only lineage to have produced four Sovereigns, making them once the mightiest clan in history.

Beirut, too, hoped to build a family of similar grandeur.

He focused entirely on his research, leaving only a small portion of his divine sense to monitor the situation on the Yulan Continent.

Time passed, and while Beirut remained immersed in his studies, he suddenly noticed his sons had left the Forest of Darkness and traveled to The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.

Initially, he paid little attention.

But then, an unusual spiritual fluctuation erupted within The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, immediately drawing his full attention.

"Oh? So it's that little fellow," Beirut quickly recognized the source of the fluctuation—it was that Armored Razorback Wyrm that had previously claimed the Bloodviolet sword.

That little Rank-Nine Wyrm had now broken through to Saint-level? It seemed Bloodviolet had benefited him greatly.

However, when Beirut examined him more closely, even he—a Sovereign—stopped what he was doing in shock.

"This is... a Soul Mutation?!"

Soul Mutations were exceedingly rare, even across the Four Higher Planes and the Seven Divine Planes.

A mere dual-element Soul Mutation was already considered extraordinary—enough to shatter the racial limits of the Armored Razorback Wyrm and allow it to reach godhood.

But as Beirut inspected Sadius, his eyes flashed with astonishment.

"A triple-element Soul Mutation?! Impossible!"

Beirut was truly stunned.

A triple-element Soul Mutation had never been truly confirmed before. It was the stuff of legends, rumored to exist only among the strongest talents in the cosmos.

He examined the Wyrm carefully.

A Soul Mutation of this caliber... if it managed to reach the Highgod stage and achieve a fusion of three profound mysteries, it would far surpass ordinary experts who only fused two mysteries.

"But where did he get his affinity for Earth and Destruction?" Beirut wondered.

The Armored Razorback Wyrm was a Darkness-attribute species by nature. Throughout his extensive lifespan, Beirut had never encountered one with a second element—let alone three.

Destruction could be somewhat explained. If one engaged in enough slaughter, they might gain insights into Destruction's laws.

But Earth? That affinity seemed to have manifested out of nowhere.

Beirut immediately suspected that this Wyrm held a secret.

To confirm his suspicions, he quietly extended a sliver of his divine sense to probe Sadius' soul.

His divine sense infiltrated Sadius' spiritual sea without a sound.

However, as soon as Beirut entered, he immediately sensed something unnatural.

"This is... Azure Dragon blood essence and a trace of Water-type Sovereign power!"

Sadius' recent fusion with a drop of Azure Dragon's blood and a sliver of Sovereign power was instantly detected.

"The blood essence of The Azure Dragon Sovereign, yet it remains unrefined? And it's merged with Sovereign power to forcibly mold his soul into a dragon's form?"

Beirut gazed at Sadius' draconic soul, intrigued.

Even more surprising—Sadius possessed a damaged soul-protecting divine artifact left behind by the former Azure Dragon Sovereign.

Just as Beirut prepared to probe deeper into Sadius' memories, something unexpected happened.

Sadius' draconic soul suddenly opened its eyes.

A terrifying Dragon's Roar erupted.

Beirut's divine sense—despite being at the Sovereign-tier—was forcibly expelled from Sadius' spiritual sea!

"That was... Dragon's Roar?! How is this possible?!"

Beirut was shaken.

Even if Sadius had a triple-element Soul Mutation, his soul strength should have no chance of resisting a Highgod's divine probe.

Yet just now, his soul had instinctively repelled Beirut's divine sense.

And that roar...

That wasn't a normal soul-based counterattack—it was a true innate ability of the Azure Dragon bloodline!

In the Azure Dragon Clan called the Redding Clan, descendants could awaken their bloodline and gain access to abilities such as Dragon's Roar which could affect Time itself, though the power was much weaker compared to a true divine beast.

But Sadius?

He had no Azure Dragon bloodline!

And yet, the roar that came from his soul was the real thing—a true Azure Dragon's innate ability!

How?!

Even Beirut—one of the most knowledgeable experts in the Yulan Plane—was momentarily speechless.

Then, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"This... This is perfect research material!"

The attempt to probe Sadius' soul was a failure. But compared to reading his memories, this revelation was far more valuable.

Retracting his divine sense, Beirut immediately found a Saint-level dragon-type magical beast within the Necropolis of the Gods.

He planned to experiment—using Azure Dragon blood essence and Sovereign power—to replicate Sadius' transformation.

Meanwhile, in The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts...

Unaware of how thoroughly he had been investigated, Sadius continued his training.

Ever since his soul had evolved, he found his comprehension abilities had skyrocketed.

Thanks to the dense elemental essence within his cavern, he could now faintly perceive the mysteries of Darkness.

"Just meditating like this isn't enough. I need a better method..."

He recalled how Linley had trained.

By developing his own techniques, then refining them into profound mysteries, Linley naturally grasped the Laws.

Sadius resolved to follow the same path.

However, he knew one risk—if his technique was flawed, he could train for eternity and never become a Deity.

Fortunately, he had knowledge from the original story, and his Earth Element Laws were already progressing.

It was only a matter of time before he became a Deity.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Union, Fenlai Kingdom, Holy Capital

Heidens had returned to the Holy Capital, his heart burning with rage.

He had been humiliated, forced to retreat at the hands of a mere Saint-level magical beast.

But instead of acting impulsively, Heidens calmed down.

"I underestimated that Wyrm..."

He began laying the groundwork for his revenge.

He secretly issued a new decree—

Find warriors with naturally monstrous physiques—men who had never practiced with Battle Qi, yet already reached Rank-Seven in raw strength.

This time, he would petition the Radiant Sovereign to descend a true army of Four-Winged Angels.

With an army of Angels, he would flatten The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.

"Next time..." Heidens' eyes gleamed with cold light.

"...I will personally ensure that Wyrm's annihilation!"
