Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 819 457: The Defiant Breed from the Deep Sea, in the Name of the Heavens

Screech!
The piercing gale swept across the sky's ocean of clouds, but when the clouds piled up to a certain point, a force of savage violence suddenly descended, tearing the skies apart.
A monster with a wingspan of over three hundred meters, yet bearing distinctly bestial features, emerged above the sky dome. It lacked the feathers of ordinary raptors, replaced instead by a thick bone armor structure and azure-gold scales that shone with a metallic luster.
The enormous and sharp beak was covered with fang-like spikes, with horn-like bone spurs burgeoning behind it, adding even more menace and ferocity.
Beneath it were not the two feet of ordinary birds, but four claws, each with five scythe-like talons. One could imagine the despair and tragic fate if locked by such giant claws.
Three long tails danced in the air with its wings, not feathers like the Phoenix, but rather three venomous stingers full of barbs and reverse hooks, resembling the scorpion tail of a manticore but even more ruthless and lethal.
This was a Sky Tyrant. Not a single creature would doubt its dominion over the skies, nor the cruelty and ferocity it would show its prey.
However, this fierce Tyrant descended not to slaughter or display its savagery, but to prostrate and pay homage to the New King who had just been born into the world.
It folded its bony and scaled wings, hiding its sharp claws beneath its belly. In its eyes, seemingly fierce and violent, there was nothing but respect. It lowered its head, showing a humility perhaps never seen in its life.
This was an incredibly shocking scene. A Giant Beast with a life form inclined towards birds yet also bearing animal features, even with its wings folded, its form was as massive as a mountain.
This terrifying existence was striving to show its respect and docility. Such a gigantic contrast truly stunned the many vassal subjects blown askew by the storm.
No one would question the power of this Giant Beast because the storm it stirred up simply by descending from the sky had blown away the minor vassal nations, fortunate enough to be present for the audience, leaving them particularly disheveled.
But no one paid them any mind. Everyone still able to stay at the scene, even Noah's servants and Favored, were deeply shocked by the posture of this Giant Beast.
Not only because this Giant Beast's size exceeded worldly comprehension, but more importantly, because such a powerful Giant Beast exhibited a submissive posture before their Sect Master, Noah, which was an unmistakable sign of submission.
"You're quite quick with your actions!"
Noah looked down at this Giant Beast that seemed to be in the same league as him in terms of size. He gazed at it for a long time before slightly retracting his eyes.
This Sky Tyrant was the last Giant Beast Noah awakened, but it was the first to come before him and express its submission, as an Ancient Giant Beast.
This submission was not merely due to the favor and grace given by the World Will, but more importantly because the essence of Noah's life slightly surpassed that of this Ancient Giant Beast, his life form more perfect.
Though Noah did not exceed this Ancient Giant Beast in size, to this Ancient Giant Beast, its most powerful weapon was its colossal body that moved like a natural disaster.
Beyond that, it had no other means of attack—or rather, it didn't need any. But Noah was not the same. A powerful body for the Metallic Dragon Race was only a reliance, not everything.
Therefore, even without engaging in combat, Noah roughly estimated he had confidence to suppress this Sky Tyrant before him. And this Giant Beast also instinctively evaluated, then submitted to the arrangement of the World Will.
Power is always the root of everything: authority, money, status. Whether order or chaos, strong power is the decisive factor.
Even in order, even with heavenly fortune and high position, if not supported by corresponding power to suppress, it is nothing but a disaster—virtue unworthy of position invites calamity.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The descending Sky Tyrant was not alone; it was merely the first to appear amongst the Giant Beasts paying homage. As the ground quaked, the second and third Giant Beasts appeared around the altar.
All these Giant Beasts, without exception, showed their submission to Noah. Only one Giant Beast, a creature from the underwater volcanoes of the Eastern Sea, climbed out.
It was a Molten Rock Giant Beast with some lizard features, walking upright on two legs. Yet its life form resembled that of the nearly extinct Fierce Tyrannosaurus of ancient times.
The thick obsidian-like scales formed from molten solidification perfectly wrapped its body, appearing somewhat bloated. Yet what it displayed was not the slightest awkwardness but a sense of ultimate power.
Between its scales, there were flashes of deep red molten lava light. It drew power from the earth's core over thousands of years.
This was the liveliest and most powerful monster among the four Ancient Giant Beasts awakened by Noah. Even with the World Will's recognition, it issued a highly provocative roar at Noah.
Roar——
From the sea, moving ashore, the Molten Rock Giant Beast carved a path of destruction. The dangerous red light shone on the dorsal fin on its back, with a breathtaking force converging in its chest.
