Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

The Crimson Crack in the Wall of Primal Chaos was cracked open with a single slash of the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword. As the Wall completely opened, nearly a hundred figures emerged. The figure who stood in front of them all was none other than the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor herself. Her dark eyes swept across the five figures in front of her and stopped at the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword.

"Old… Villain… Mo… E… I, Jie Yuan… have returned!"

BOOM.

Aerion felt a blast of dark profound energy strike him almost instantly. The Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword's holy aura protected him for the most part except for several shards which managed to get past its defences. The force of the attack sent him flying several hundred kilometres.

'What in Seven... Hells... did I do wrong?'

Aerion looked at his broken body which had been scarred in every inch with a slash of some sort. His Dragon armour was all but broken. His eyelids started growing heavier by the moment and eventual death was all but certain until he activated his Rinnegan.

Izanagi.

All of his wounds recovered instantly and he made sure to wear his Dragon armour to avoid another death. He didn't think that a weakened Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor would be able to break through the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword's protective barrier AND his Divine Extinction Realm armour.

'That witch...'

"Master, you must suppress your fury unless you wish to face the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor." The sword spirit suggested.

'She already started the conflict to come.' Aerion replied, his violet eyes glowing. 'By the time I return, the battle would have already begun.'

"You... dare?" Izanami's eyes glowed an emerald tone as darkness profound energy surrounded her entire being.

The appearance of the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword did release her hatred to the extreme as she had killed someone who wasn't even Mo E. The hatred she had gathered for all of those millions of years had been released within a single moment, blinding her completely. After realising this truth, Jie Yuan's fury ceased.

"Striking My Lord like that... the only suitable punishment is death!" A golden spear emerged from Naeron's divine power. Robb's crimson eyes glared at the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor with killing intent as the golden aura emerged once more, pushing his strength to the limit.

"This aura..."

Robb's figure vanished as he exploded towards Jie Yuan. His speed had surprised her as his spear stabbed her side. Robb intended to follow up with another attack but Jie Yuan backed away. However, he was relentless and attacked once more.

"I should heal Aerion as the wounds he received from that attack could result in death." Shen Xi stated before Izanami stopped her.

"There's no need, we should focus on the battle instead. A single life-threatening attack won't end him, after all."

"I see." Shen Xi nodded. "Those devils behind her have already started advancing."

"Then we will deal with them." Long Bai replied as he transformed into his true dragon form.

Once Aerion returned to his original position, the crack in the Wall of Primal Chaos had started to recover. The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's clansmen were dropping like flies as death reached every single one of them eventually. Izanami's Susanoo was now as dark as the night sky, armed with a pitch-black sphere which dragged the devils towards it. Once they touched the sphere, their entire bodies would turn into nothing.

It was a rather terrifying sight. Even the devils started to fly as swiftly as they could. Their seemingly limitless hatred was thrown straight out of the window as survival took priority. Shen Xi and Long Bai made sure that not a single one managed to escape as that would lead to certain calamity in the Eastern Divine Region.

Nearly a hundred clansmen turned into zero within just a few minutes.

"Did I scare you, my dear husband?" Izanami smiled.

"A little," Aerion admitted. "We should find the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor and restrain her."

"Restrain? The only thing she deserves is death." Izanami countered.

"She is more valuable alive rather than dead, Izanami. She is the last remaining Creation God existence from the era of the True Gods and Devils... how could we just kill her?"

"You are still too kind." Izanami shook her head. "I won't allow some Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor to almost take your life and walk away with a slap on the wrist. If our roles were reversed and it was I who almost died, would you still intend to restrain her?"

"Well..."

"Hmph, I thought so. You will stay here until the threat is no more." Izanami decided.

With a wave of her hand, she sealed Aerion in ice. Shortly after, she flew away to join the battle between Robb and Jie Yuan while Shen Xi remained still with Long Bai.

"Long Bai, return to the Eternal Heaven Realm, there is no longer a reason for you to stay here."

"I understand, Senior Shen Xi. But his Divine Grace..."

"Do not worry about Aerion, he is perfectly safe here."

"I see." Long Bai nodded and slowly flew away.

"Shen Xi, could you break this barrier of ice for me? I can't let the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor die. Her attack on me was only a one-time thing, I'm sure she wouldn't do that again. All of those years spent outside of Primal Chaos... it must have been quite rough. Besides, I have fully recovered."

"No, the Primal Chaos that you intend to build has no place for a Devil Emperor. Her mere existence is a threat to your peace... all of those profound beast rampages, where do you think the negative energy which triggered them originated from? More importantly, now that she has returned, it will be far worse than ever before."

"Handling some rampant profound beasts and losing a Devil Emperor, how can these two things be comparable!? I would choose the former in a heartbeat!" Aerion sighed. "Please, you must break this barrier or convince Izanami and Robb not to take her life."

"I will do neither." Shen Xi flew away, leaving Aerion in the middle of space.

'Why do I feel so helpless... do my words mean nothing without the strength to back it up?'

"Your words certainly mean something." Rotias laughed. "They're doing this for you, anyway. Why are you so uptight about it?"

'It is not the result that I d.e.s.i.r.e.'

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Unfortunately, their strength lies in the True God Realm, something you cannot reach quite yet." Rotias replied. "Just sit and wait for now."

'Sit and wait for what? Someone else to decide for me? I hate feeling helpless... in truth, it is the feeling I hate most...'

Aerion grit his teeth.

'I didn't want to be a beggar so I became the Pirate King, I didn't want to be a weakling so I strove for greater heights, I didn't want to die to you and make the Dragon Dream a reality so I went mad to grow even stronger, I didn't want Jasmine to die so I took her away from her father's clutches... there were so many instances where I denied death...'

"In this situation, there is nothing that you can do," Rotias replied.

'I couldn't save my father, sister, brother, mother, grandfather and grandmother... I feel just as helpless as I did then! Why... why is that so? I should be strong enough to decide everything by now, I have the power to deny reality and yet I still feel so helpless... even worse, it is my own people who are going against my wishes...'

"Does Master truly wish to save the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor?" The sword spirit inquired.

'Of course...'

"As the darkness of the sinful wheel slowly fades, I can finally sense Master's true nature. You are prideful, ambitious, vengeful and selfish to a degree as you aim to reach the very peak. Yet, at the same time, you manage to be kind and considerate despite this. Indeed, the Dragon's nature is strange. Just as your predecessor, however, you are worthy of my full strength. Aerion Targaryen... receive me and bend fate to your will!"

BOOM.

Dragon Emperor.

The image of the Crimson Dragon appeared...

"Henceforth, I shall be the King of all Gods! My Sky has overcome the Sea, Underworld and Earth while my Fire has settled the rest... if there are still any doubts about my sovereignty, it would be my greatest p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to address them immediately!"

The ice shattered as the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword's full strength was unleashed upon Primal Chaos. Its full strength currently stood at the peak of the True God Realm which was more than enough.

Aerion's silver hair made space as black horns emerged along with two wings and a tail. His violet eyes focused onto the matter at hand.

'My supreme authority will not be questioned ever again.'

With a single slash, Aerion tore apart space and teleported a couple of thousand kilometres closer to the battle. It only took him a few seconds to arrive at the exact point.

Robb, Izanami and Shen Xi had surrounded Jie Yuan, attacking her from opposite sides at once. If she were at her very peak, this battle would have been child play but... she wasn't. At the very most, her power laid in the True God Realm. She was facing three opponents in the same realm of strength which certainly explained all of the wounds. Jie Yuan was clearly outmatched.

"Hmph, it is time that I end you once and for all." The golden aura from Robb's spear materialised something far more frightening, the God Piercing Spear itself! While he was defended by Izanami's Susanoo, Robb prepared the God Piercing Spear profound skill which would certainly end Jie Yuan in her current state.

Izanami and Shen Xi kept Jie Yuan from escaping the surrounding area while Robb strengthens the God Piercing Spear further.

"There is no escaping this spear. In My Lord's name, I will be the one to end you."

Robb threw the God Piercing Spear at its full strength.

CLANG.

As if it were a shooting star, a silver aura exploded downwards and intercepted the God Piercing Spear.

BOOOOOOOOM.
