Chapter 215: THE EIGHT FALL

Chapter 215 — THE EIGHT FALL

The sky above the ruined city churned like a wounded storm.

Emerald light and black-gold void energy twisted through the clouds, colliding again and again in violent bursts that rattled every remaining building across the skyline. Wind howled through broken streets below, carrying the echoes of sirens, collapsing structures, and distant screams.

The Jade Dragon hovered above the chaos like a god of destruction.

Its massive wings beat slowly, deliberately, stirring the cloud layers as if they were nothing more than dust drifting across a battlefield.

Opposite it—

Long Hao floated in the sky.

The void energy around him had grown darker now. Denser.

Something inside it had changed.

The dragon noticed immediately.

“You call the fragment.”

Its voice rolled across the sky like thunder breaking through stone.

Long Hao flexed his fingers slowly.

“Yeah.”

The dragon’s emerald eyes burned brighter.

“Too late.”

Then it attacked.

The Jade Dragon surged forward with terrifying speed.

Its claw tore downward toward Long Hao.

The strike came faster than any attack before it.

Long Hao raised both arms.

Void energy surged.

“Void Breaker!”

The two forces collided.

The shockwave blasted outward across the sky, sending broken clouds spiraling across the horizon.

But this time—

The dragon did not stop.

Its claw pushed through the void energy.

The impact slammed into Long Hao’s guard.

The force drove him downward through the sky like a falling meteor.

He smashed through the roof of a half-destroyed office tower.

Concrete exploded outward.

Glass shattered across three floors.

The Jade Dragon didn’t pause.

It followed.

The massive creature dove after him like a descending mountain.

Inside the collapsing tower—

Long Hao rolled across the cracked floor and pushed himself back up just as the dragon’s claw tore through the side of the building.

Entire walls collapsed.

Steel beams twisted.

The dragon’s head forced its way through the shattered structure.

“You weaken.”

Long Hao wiped dust from his face.

“Still standing.”

He shot forward.

His fist slammed into the dragon’s jaw.

“Eclipse Impact!”

The impact blasted the dragon’s head sideways.

Emerald scales cracked.

But the creature retaliated instantly.

Its tail whipped through the ruined building.

The strike slammed into Long Hao’s ribs.

The impact launched him through three concrete walls and out the opposite side of the tower.

He tumbled through the air before catching himself again.

Below—

The Eight watched from scattered rooftops.

Han cursed under his breath.

“He’s getting hit more.”

Nyx nodded slightly.

“The dragon’s adapting again.”

Above them—

The Jade Dragon rose back into the sky.

Its emerald aura expanded.

The broken tower beneath it collapsed completely.

Concrete dust rolled through the streets below.

Long Hao hovered again across from the creature.

His breathing had grown heavier now.

But his eyes remained focused.

The dragon spoke.

“You resist.”

“But the outcome remains unchanged.”

Long Hao rolled his shoulder slowly.

“Yeah.”

“I’m noticing a pattern.”

The dragon’s wings spread wider.

Emerald light surged across the clouds.

“This world will break.”

And then—

The dragon moved.

Not toward Long Hao.

Toward the city.

Its enormous body surged across the skyline like a moving mountain.

Long Hao’s eyes widened.

“Hey!”

He shot forward after it.

But the Jade Dragon was faster.

It dove toward a residential district already weakened by earlier shockwaves.

Hundreds of apartment towers still stood there.

Thousands of civilians trapped inside evacuation corridors.

The dragon raised its claw.

Long Hao lunged forward.

But he was too far away.

The claw descended.

The apartment block collapsed instantly.

Concrete floors pancaked downward.

Dust erupted across the district.

The dragon turned its head slightly.

Another building.

Another strike.

Another collapse.

The creature wasn’t attacking Long Hao anymore.

It was destroying everything else.

Below them, Han roared.

“Oh hell no.”

The Eight launched into the sky again.

Phoenix flames erupted.

Water surged upward.

Solar light flared.

Nyx vanished through a dimensional tear.

The Eight attacked together.

Feng Yanrui’s phoenix avatar slammed into the dragon’s side.

“Phoenix Sovereign Descent!”

Crimson fire exploded across the emerald scales.

Ibarra followed immediately.

“Leviathan Spear!”

The water drill slammed into the dragon’s chest wound.

Rao’s solar beam struck its wing.

Nyx carved a dimensional slash across its neck.

Han charged last.

“Titan Breaker!”

His fist crashed into the dragon’s forearm.

For a moment—

The Jade Dragon was surrounded by attacks from every direction.

Emerald scales cracked.

Fragments fell toward the streets below.

But then the dragon roared.

Its aura exploded outward.

The shockwave blasted the Eight backward.

Han crashed into a rooftop.

Feng spiraled through the air before stabilizing himself.

Nyx vanished to avoid the blast.

The dragon hovered again.

Its emerald eyes burned with cold certainty.

“You persist.”

Han pushed himself up from the rooftop rubble.

“Yeah.”

He cracked his knuckles.

“Someone has to.”

The Jade Dragon spread its wings again.

Its aura surged across the skyline.

The pressure alone shattered the windows of nearby buildings.

“You cannot stop the collapse.”

Another district crumbled in the distance as the dragon’s energy storm rolled across the city.

Below them—

Fires spread through broken streets.

Emergency sirens screamed louder.

The Eight regrouped again.

But the damage was obvious now.

Han’s breathing had grown rough.

Feng’s phoenix flames flickered weakly.

Ibarra’s water currents moved slower.

Even Rao’s solar light had dimmed.

They had been fighting too long.

And the dragon was still growing stronger.

Above them, Long Hao watched the city burning.

His fists clenched.

The Jade Dragon’s voice echoed again.

“You see.”

“Your resistance changes nothing.”

Long Hao didn’t answer.

Instead—

He looked down at the city.

At the collapsing buildings.

At the fires spreading through the streets.

At the helicopters struggling to evacuate the wounded.

And something inside him shifted.

The void energy around his body deepened.

Darkened.

Like the beginning of an eclipse.

Inside his mind—

A voice spoke softly.

“…You’re angry.”

Long Hao whispered.

“Yeah.”

The voice answered.

“…Good.”

The Jade Dragon tilted its head slightly.

Because the energy around Long Hao had changed again.

Something deeper was waking.

Something older.

But before Long Hao could move—

The dragon attacked again.

This time with brutal speed.

Its claw slammed downward.

Long Hao blocked.

But the impact drove him backward again.

The Jade Dragon followed with another strike.

And another.

The sky erupted with violent clashes as the battle intensified again.

Below—

The Eight struggled to stand.

And for the first time since the battle began—

They realized something terrifying.

They were reaching their limit.

And the dragon…

Wasn’t.
