Chapter 127: Chapter127-Dragon Blood Arbitration

She lowered her dragon head, her fiery red dragon pupils calmly staring at the once invincible dragon guardian.

The contrast in their sizes was immense, and the evolved Fiona completely overwhelmed the opponent in every way!

As they looked at Fiona’s now sacred and powerful form, feeling the incomparable pressure from her, every dragon in the gathering gazed at her with fervor and awe.

Thunderous cheers and sounds of worship erupted like a tidal wave.

“We, the dragon kin, greet the Supreme of Dragons—Lady Fiona!!”

Fiona’s gaze swept over the gathered dragons, but her eyes showed little emotion.

Having gone through trials and evolution, she was no longer the young dragon yearning for approval that she once was.

Of course, returning in triumph did feel quite nice!

“My return this time is to lead the dragon kin, and to move the entire clan to the new Dalton in the Alpha Starfield!”

Her voice clearly reached every dragon’s ears.

Upon hearing this, the dragons first fell silent, then burst into even more enthusiastic cheers and excitement!

Who among them didn’t know of the prosperity and strength of that miraculous city?

Even the ancient undead race had been rejected entry.

And now, their dragon kin would be able to migrate there!?

What an honor and an opportunity!

However, amidst this fervent atmosphere, a roar full of resentment and fury suddenly erupted.

“Fiona! You will not succeed!!”

The next moment, Louis, with a look full of venom and struggle, lunged forward, blocking the path between Fiona and the gathering dragons.

He glared at Fiona, trying to assert his final resistance with the dignity of a guardian.

Unfortunately, times had changed!

In front of Fiona, who had reached the Sanctuary Lord rank and completed her bloodline evolution, Louis’s resistance seemed feeble, like a firefly against the full moon.

Fiona coldly regarded the former supreme being, her voice resolute.

“Louis, your arrogance and selfishness have already caused you to lose the qualification to lead the dragon kin!”

Her massive dragon claw took a step forward, causing the entire plaza to tremble.

“In accordance with the ancient traditions of the dragon kin, I, Fiona, hereby initiate Dragon Blood Arbitration against you, Louis!”

Fiona’s voice resounded across the wasteland, carrying an undeniable authority and power.

Dragon Blood Arbitration!

This ancient phrase ignited the blood of every dragon present.

Their eyes toward Fiona were filled with fervor and anticipation.

According to the most sacred tradition of the dragon kin, any member who opposed the qualifications or decisions of the guardian could, with the support of the majority of dragons, initiate Dragon Blood Arbitration to determine the rightful leader!

“Hahaha! Louis, you old fool, I’ve been tolerating you for a long time!”

“Watch how my daughter enacts the ancient laws of the dragon kin!”

Andrew roared with excitement, his massive dragon tail smashing the ground and stirring up clouds of dust.

Louis looked at Andrew’s arrogant demeanor, then glanced at Fiona’s cold dragon pupils and the surrounding dragons’ unmasked ridicule and indifference.

He fully realized that his power was waning, and the hearts of the dragons had long since turned away from him.

Regret gnawed at him like a venomous snake.

He regretted not decisively eliminating this potential threat when he had the chance.

If only he had, would he have ended up in this situation, abandoned by his kin and reduced to such disgrace?

Facing Fiona’s overwhelming pressure, seeing her in the legendary four-winged Astral Ancient Dragon form, Louis felt an uncontrollable fear rise from the depths of his heart.

He didn’t even need to sense her power to know that there was an insurmountable gap between them.

Seeing that Louis had not yet responded, Andrew sneered, his voice reverberating across the battlefield.

“What’s wrong, Louis?”

“The great dragon guardian, are you afraid?”

“Are you not willing to accept a legitimate arbitration initiated by a younger generation according to our ancient traditions?”

The other dragons also looked at Louis with changed expressions, their deep dragon growls filled with urgency and dissatisfaction.

While Louis had indeed led the dragon kin through countless calamities during his long reign as dragon guardian, that was no reason for him to abuse the power of the dragon kin and trample over the destinies of its members!

The power vacuum at the top of the dragon kin was largely due to Louis’s greed!

To satisfy his own needs and maintain his autocracy, he hoarded most of the clan’s resources, suppressing or exiling any force that posed a threat to his power. This had caused resentment to fester among the dragons, but they had been too afraid to voice it.

This led to the present situation, where the once mighty leader was now facing an uprising.

Humiliated before the others, the last remnants of Louis’s rationality were consumed by his fury.

“Arrogant!”

He let out a roar, trying to salvage his remaining dignity.

“Fine! I will show you, this insolent youngster, the true extent of my power!”

At this moment, he was entirely consumed by emotion.

As for Louis, Fiona felt no sympathy in her heart.

It was his expulsion that had caused her and her father immense suffering.

It was his stubborn rule that had led the dragon kin into a deep, stagnant abyss.

It was he who had stifled the growth and future of countless younger generations of dragons…

No more words were necessary!

Boom!

Fiona’s dragon tail, filled with terrifying power, lashed out like a silver mountain cleaving the sky.

Louis didn’t even have time to mount an effective defense before a mighty force struck him in the face.

His colossal dragon form was sent hurtling backward like a kite with its string cut, carving a deep trench in the ground.

The smoke and dust slowly dispersed.

Louis lay in the center of the pit, vomiting blood, and had completely lost consciousness.

A one-hit kill!

The result was without suspense, but it still left all the dragons witnessing this scene deeply shaken.

“Has Fiona really grown this strong?!”

One of the dragons muttered, awe filling their eyes.

Looking at the unconscious Louis in the pit, a complex emotion flashed through Fiona’s dragon pupils.

With her current strength, she could crush him into dust with a mere thought!

She was pondering how to deal with the former guardian.

At this moment, Andrew’s voice rang out again.

“Fiona, my daughter, finish him off!”

Fiona looked toward her father.

In Andrew’s dragon pupils, there was no hesitation.

“Dragon Blood Arbitration—life for the victor, death for the loser! This is the law passed down through the ages!”

“Think about it, if you lost, do you think he, with his character, would spare you or spare me?”

These words pierced the last bit of hesitation in Fiona’s heart.

She recalled the cold, merciless gaze Louis had given her when she was exiled.

Many of the other dragons lowered their heads silently.

The upcoming outcome was already foreseen, the inevitable fate of the defeated challenger, the price to pay for the changing of the old and new eras.

Fiona no longer hesitated. Her claws gathered a concentrated silver light, and with a gentle swipe, she carved a line through the air toward Louis in the pit.

Sss—!

A fine silver line flashed, and Louis’s enormous dragon head and body were instantly severed.

Hot dragon blood surged into the sky, staining the nearby land in a blinding dark gold.

The dragon guardian, once a terror across the main continent and the ruler of the dragon kin for many years, fell.

Soon after.

Fiona successfully led the entire dragon kin to migrate to the former Dalton Town in the main continent.

As for entering the more resource-rich and opportunity-filled new Dalton in the Alpha Starfield, the dragon kin would have to fight for it through their own efforts and contributions.
