I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Hou Longqing places the dragon’s head on his lap and kisses its face with devotion. The scale of the black dragon appears to be formed of obsidian. Unclouded, pure darkness. Hou Longqing thinks it is stunning and regal. Heilan’s fiery dragon eyes when open make him appear to be a malevolent god emerging from the earth.

“Lan-ge, thank you for accompanying me until the end. I want to bestow on you all the luck the human race has. This is an act of going against heaven so we might not meet again in the future. Even so... I wanted you to live. Don’t blame me that I can’t be by your side in the future. Ascend in the Upper Realm. There is no way a Dragon is born without a reason. I hope when... you woke up... you would not blame me for this...”

Hou Longqing smiled serenely and gently closed his eyes as he leaned toward the dragon’s head. He closed his eyes, and the Human Emperor was gone for all eternity in the Mortal World. Heilan’s entire being underwent modifications as the good fortune that the mortal realm contained entered into his body.

He had grown back the shattered scales and missing flesh during his battle with Devil Fennu. His normally black scales exhibited indications of a violet tinge beneath the light, and his stature significantly grew. His forehead developed a crown shade, denoting an improvement in his lineage and the healing of all of his wounds.

Under the watchful eyes of Devil Fennu and the others, he advanced from the cultivation stage of the Peak Soul Transformation Stage to the ascension stages of the first, second, and third. Up until he attained the True Immortal Stage, which abruptly comes to an end as he must get through the Thunder Tribulation that erupts above his head.

Rumbles~ bzzt! RUMBLES!!

“Tribulation Clouds and Thunder! Fuck! How can the coverage be this huge!?”

Devil Shulan trembles under the sight of tribulation thunder above his head. This is a trial of the Heavenly Laws and only those who survive this would be able to Ascend successfully in the Upper Realm.

“Retreat! This is a Tribulation of a True Immortal. We can die if we get caught with it.” Devil Fennu said.

“True Immortal!? Isn’t that the same stage as you, Brother Fen!? We can’t let him succeed! If he successfully ascends as we caused the death of the Human Emperor. This Dragon will never forgive us.” Devil Shulan said.

“Run for now.”

RUMBLES~ Bzzt! Cracks~ BOOOM!!

As the Tribulation Thunder arose over the Imperial City, Devil Fennu seized Jin Baihua and the other two. The majority of local beings were alarmed by the excessive media coverage of this affliction. Thunderclaps began to sound, and lightning began to rumble.

Thunder is more of a source of nourishment than a source of punishment for Heilan, a Pureblood Dragon whose primary components are darkness, poison, and thunder. Thunder is generally not a fear for dragons because they were created to dwell in the skies with it.

After being hit by thunder several times, Heilan eventually opened his eyes. He experienced an endless supply of energy in his body and was unable to explain where it came from. He only vaguely realized what had transpired when he saw the breathless Hou Longqing trapped between his claws. As soon as he changed back into his human form, he discovered that both his injuries and his tail had recovered.

With those closed, motionless eyes that stared at him with tenderness, he glanced at Hou Longqing as he was in his arms. Heilan knew something wasn’t right when he couldn’t hear his heartbeat.

“A’Qing don’t scare me like this. Open your eyes please!”

Heilan tried to wake up Hou Longqing in his arms but the latter remained unresponsive. He denied the soundless heartbeat he couldn’t hear from Hou Longqing, he ignored the breathless body in his embrace. He turned himself numbed at the cooling temperature of Hou Longqing’s body. The black dragon didn’t want to accept the fact that he lost the most important person in his life.

“I’m begging you. A’Qing, I don’t like this. Why... Why... Why do you have to leave me!? You are the only one who accepted me for what I am. Regardless, of whether I am evil or not. I stayed here to protect you, not for you to sacrifice yourself for me!!!”
