Chapter 155. True Dragon Roar! Shrinking Tian Long?

Tian Long lifted his head from the crater and looked at Tatyana tauntingly, "That didn't hurt at all. It seems that you are quite a weakling now."

Tatyana snorted, "I've begun cultivating seriously again, don't be too happy yet!"

Tian Long communicated mentally with Tatyana and said, "It was already time. You have been more than 10 thousand years without cultivating even a little bit. Even though we have some enemies in the underworld, things are quite stabilized, and there haven't been any wars I could partake in. Do you know how boring it is getting?"

Tatyana shrugged and said, "With the teacher there, I almost don't have to pay attention to the Empire."

Tian Long said, exasperated, "He was on the verge of dragging you into the underworld to cultivate, but he stopped at one point. At first, I didn't know why he stopped, but..."

Tian Long focused on Yasenia and said, "I can guess why he stopped now. You got pregnant with the little princess."

Tatyana said, "What drive did I have to improve? I was on the verge of ending my own life at that time."

Tian Long looked at Tatyana but didn't say anything.

When they finished the mental conversation, Yasenia woke up from her stupor and asked, "Lord Tian Long, if you want mom to take you out more often, couldn't you, um, become smaller? With your… size, it should be inconvenient for Mom to walk around with you, don't you think so?"

Tatyana hugged her daughter tearfully, "Finally! Someone that understands my hardships! Where the hell should I place a moon-sized dragon! It would be easier to build the whole Academy on top of him!"

Anna and the rest of the maids thought, feeling wronged. 'Lady Tatyana, before you had our dear young miss, who would have the guts to tell you what to do!? You were like death, taking lives if something bothered you even a little!'

In the next moment, the maids' eyes shone with infinite love as they looked at Yasenia. 'Thank you for being born, young miss. We love the new softer Lady! We will protect you with our lives!'

Yasenia felt the maids' scorching and passionate gaze, and she looked at them, confused. 'Why do I feel like they are swearing their eternal loyalty to me? And what is that loving look they are giving me!?'

Tian Long said, ignoring Tatyana's fuss. "Little princess, do not call me Lord! I'm very close with Tatyana, so you should call me uncle Long!"

Yasenia looked at the titanic dragon and stuttered, "U-Uncle Long."

Tian Long's giant red-glowing maw arched in a "smile" that looked extremely evil and repeatedly nodded, generating various natural disasters around him. "That sounds quite good. And to answer your question, little princes, am I not more handsome the bigger I am? Why would I shrink?"

Tatyana looked at him with disdain, and Yasenia and the rest looked at him with an open mouth, 'He is this big because he thinks he is more handsome!?'

Yasenia tried to fill that giant dragon head with a little bit of common sense. "Uncle Long, I think you are… Too big."

Suddenly Yasenia got a genius moment. She said excitedly, "Uncle Long! How could others admire your handsomeness if you are this big? Since you are so big, I can't perceive more than a little bit of your face! I can't remember the rest of your imposing and majestic body!"

Everyone clearly saw how his mountain-sized red dragon eyes opened widely, visibly stunned at Yasenia's declaration. Then he grumbled, "I knew he was envious because I was getting all the dragonesses all those years ago! But I decided to trust his advice until now!"

Tian Long looked at Tatyana and asked indignantly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've wasted so many years!"

Tatyana snorted, "I already told you he was lying. You even dared to ignore me then and even became this big! Since you didn't trust me at that time, I didn't bring it up again to make you suffer! Moreover, why would you believe my little treasure and not me?"

Tian Long definitely ignored Tatyana and looked at Yasenia, "Thank you, little princess. I will make sure to repay this kindness!"

Receiving the thanks of such a powerful being, Yasenia was slightly overwhelmed and waved her hands and tail, "No, no, no, it wasn't a problem at all. With my limited knowledge, I will try my best to say the best I can every time Uncle Long wants advice."

Tatyana saw Tian Long was about to laugh, so she reacted fast and covered the remaining Ice Phoenix Mountain with a green and black defensive dome. Then Tian Long's happy laughter resounded. "Hahaha, of course, little princess, if you need to beat someone up, call uncle Long, I will make them suffer for eternity!"

Yasenia and the rest saw the sound waves of his laughter hitting against the barrier and pushing the clouds that began gathering away. 'Everything he does is too destructive!'

Tatyana spoke, "Oy! Are you going to shrink, or should I send you back!?"

Tian Long closed his eyes and began gathering energy. The energy in a 10 000 km radius began converging toward him in a whirlpool.

Tatyana strengthened the dome, protecting all of them and the mountain from his catastrophic transformation. Then, the energy absorption became even bigger, and the energy in more than a 20 000km radius rushed toward Tian Long, making the earth crack again.

When Tatyana saw some energy began gathering in his throat, she opened her eyes and said. "Ying Yue, Hui Zhong, help me reinforce the dome! He is going to roar!"

Both of them instantly unfurled their aura and built a black transparent dome each on top of Tatyana's. With the defenses prepared, Tatyana smirked and said, "Little treasure, prepare yourself. This is what a high-level dragon roar looks like!"

Tian Long opened his maw, and Yasenia saw the space literally inflating, then…

*RRROOOAAAAARRRR!!!*

*BBBOOOOOOMMM!!!!*

Space literally exploded, and a massive shockwave expanded from Tian Long, going exponentially faster! The shockwave advanced at vertiginous speeds, flattening everything around with terrible might.

The earth lifted, and the ground sunk, deepening the previous crater to an abysmal depth. The pressure from the roar made magma explode from the ground as vortexes, and other catastrophic events appeared on the destroyed landscape. Those vortexes lifted the magma, creating magma tornados and making the surroundings apocalyptic. Even while all of this happened, the people inside the defensive dome weren't injured nor deafened.

Evelyn stuttered, "I-Isn't the roar more powerful that the demonic fire nova…?"

Andrea asked Tatyana with a doubtful expression. "Tatyana, are those Demon Monarchs inside him alive after this?"

Tatyana looked doubtful at Tian Long and said, "The [Eternal Chains] should protect them… I hope... Maybe? Probably..."

After almost two hours of destructive events and with the help of the high-level phoenixes and Tatyana, everything calmed down.

Boreas, who was in human form, looked around and winced, "Little Tatyana, you've done it this time…."

Tatyana saw that only the Phoenix main mountain remained while the dragon's roar flattened the rest. She knocked her head and said, taking out her tongue, "Upsie?"

Yasenia blushed, thinking, 'So cute!'

Eira just chuckled and said, "Well, at least we are alive. Using some blizzards and other skills, we should be able to rebuild the landscape within hundreds of years. We could also ask for help from the Earth Kingdom and the Nature Queendom. Moreover, we have to strengthen our formation… It was destroyed too easily."

Tatyana looked at them with eager eyes and said, "How about you contr-"

Both spoke at the same time, "No."

Tatyana asked, "Why n-"

Both said, "I have a hunch that we will be scammed very badly."

Tatyana crossed her arms and snorted, looking toward Tian Long.

From all the destruction, the new Tian Long appeared. He was still big, with 20km of wingspan and length, but it was much better compared to his prior massive 1600km. When they were curious about why he didn't become smaller, Tian Long said, surprised, "I can't shrink further…."

Tatyana sighed and said, "Well, you are much better than before. Now at least you will be able to move around without destroying everything."

He looked around at the devastation he had caused and asked, "Was this place important?"

Tatyana answered, "The home of the Ice Phoenix."

Tian Long nodded and looked toward Eira and Boreas, "Well, sorry, let's leave it as if I owe you a small favor."

Eira directly asked, "How did you enter the Mythic beast realm? Boreas and I have already been stuck in the Legendary beast realm's peak for tens of millennia. We don't know how to advance. All the records about advancing further were lost before we moved here."

Tian Long asked, "That is what you want to know?"

Eira nodded, "If Boreas and I can advance, then your favor will be more than enough to compensate for the destruction."

Tian Long said, "I won't tell you much, but I think this should help you. You have to feel the world's laws and modify your energy for it to influence those laws. If you have understood an intent or domain, you have to deepen your knowledge of them or rise them in ranks until they reach perfection. When you are able to do that, transform them into laws that you can control. "

Eira and Boreas almost facepalmed, "Do you think we didn't know that? Are you taking us as children?"

Tian Long shook his head and said, "Well, I did it like that."

Eira asked, getting impatient, "How did you first connect with the world's laws? How did you modify them? How are you able to reign over them? How can you advance the domain or intent to perfection?"

Tatyana interrupted, "If you want to talk about this, do it later. I don't want to remain much longer here."

Now that he wasn't like a world-destroying creature, the others could gather the courage to speak to him. Kali asked, curious "Senior Tian Long, can't you transform into a human? Wouldn't it be more practical to move around like that?"

He shook his head, "I can't, little girl. I lost that ability when I got resurrected by Tatyana. Also, you are the little princess's mate, right?"

Kali and the rest nodded. Tian long smirked and said, "Then, all of you should also call me Uncle Long! We are practically family."

Then he lowered his wing and said, "Get on, we are leaving."

'We are going to mount him!? So cool!'

Yasenia became excited, placed Kali on her back with her tail, and picked up Angel between her arms. Then, she jumped onto the wing and stomped on it, propelling herself through the 10km wing with the two of them on her.

Yasenia looked sideways at Feng Yuan and thought, 'I hope sparing him doesn't turn into a calamity in the future...'

Cecile, Evelyn, and Andrea followed behind, with the maids closely following after them.

Meanwhile, Cecile was thinking to herself, 'I hope he doesn't do anything as senior Feng Guoshi did... I almost lost my soul in that short flight.'
