Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily-Chapter 155 - 153: The Snake Dragon Ascends

The river’s surface suddenly surged with turbulent waves, and the overcast sky above was also abruptly swept by a stormy gale.

"Song! Brother Song!" Song Ping’an jogged back, his face showing a hint of panic.

"What was that sound just now?!"

Song Changming pursed his lips, his gaze fixed intently on the river, his pupils vibrating slightly.

His expression was filled with uncertainty and amazement.

The recent high-pitched roar that resembled a giant beast was truly astounding.

He could determine that it originated from somewhere in the river, even forming a sound wave that swept in all directions!

Countless birds in the mountains flew up in panic, scattering in all directions in a flurry.

In the port town, on the shore, at the docks, everyone also heard this earth-shattering beast’s roar!

At this moment, everyone fell silent, all turning to look at the river!

General Director Zhuang Ren, Captain Chen Yan, under the protection of their personal guards, all had an absurd thought emerging in their hearts.

"Luolong River, Luolong River..."

Faintly, they all felt that something big was coming!

At the same time, many of the people from the Jianghu who had come to this place also murmured to themselves as they came back to their senses.

The recent beast roar gave them endless imagination.

"Could it be!" Li Pu, still standing by the shore, had his eyes glowing with excitement, his spirit lively.

Beside him, the old servant’s face also changed, and suddenly he seemed to perceive something, grabbing his young master’s arm, and swiftly pulling back.

In the next moment!

The river, with its constantly rising water level, suddenly set off huge waves.

Like a bowl full of water being tilted over.

In just a few breaths, rows of docks were destroyed, the embankments burst, and the floodwaters poured in!

The natural disaster swept in with such a thunderous momentum, leaving people unprepared!

But, was this really a natural disaster?

As everyone was flustered and panicked, under the watchful eyes of all, a massive shadow burst out from the river and soared into the clouds!

Under the dim and hazy water-mist darkness, although the people could not see clearly what exactly that massive shadow was, just a fleeting glimpse of its vague outline was enough to spark numerous suspicions!

Especially since the recent beast roar was very similar to a dragon’s cry!

"A dragon! It’s a dragon!"

Someone, while escaping the port town about to be submerged, shouted hoarsely.

"Is there really a dragon?!" Song Changming looked up at the dragon shadow intermittently appearing in the black clouds.

He couldn’t see clearly either, but combined with the recent dragon’s cry, it was hard not to think in this direction.

He had previously thought the Luolong River outside the county city was just a saying.

But he didn’t expect it to be true?

Suddenly, another dragon’s cry, this time clearer and more penetrating, rolled down as if from the ninth heaven, spreading throughout the divine land.

Along with it were the rolling thunders in the black clouds, and the increasingly torrential downpour, seeming to submerge the mountains and land below.

Such a scene indeed strikes awe and shock in people’s hearts.

Song Changming suddenly recalled some travel notes and anecdotes he read in Liu Dingsheng’s place.

When a snake dragon transforms into a dragon, the wind and clouds change dramatically, the celestial light dims, not tolerated by heaven.

It needs to undergo the baptism of celestial thunder, only then can it transform into a dragon.

At that time, Song Changming merely treated that travel note as a fictitious legend.

Who knew it would come true now!

Boom!

The sky suddenly exploded with a sound, as peculiar blue thunder light repeatedly flashed and exploded in the black clouds, even illuminating the entire dragon shadow.

The long body indeed closely resembled the image of a divine beast depicted in legend!

Song Changming estimated roughly that this snake dragon, growing with the wind, was now at least a hundred zhang long!

Soaring in the sky, even from this far, it still appeared as a giant figure!

"Is it really undergoing the dragon transformation thunder tribulation?" Song Changming looked at this scene, inexplicably feeling unreal, even somewhat absurd.

It felt like something fictional and imagined suddenly coming true.

At this point, looking back at that travel note and the numerous weird stories within, they all instantly became credible.

After all, if a snake dragon appeared, what else could be impossible...

On another high slope outside the port town, the flood flowing below flooded the flowers, grass, and trees along the way.

Everyone on the high slope was not focused on the torrent below, but everyone was looking up at the horizon, at the dragon undergoing the tribulation!

"Uncle Lu, what did I say, the snake dragon transforms into a dragon! Opportunity has arrived!" Li Pu stood on the high slope, overjoyed beyond measure.

If this made him so delighted, it was clear how great the opportunity he spoke of was.

His voice wasn’t contained, causing many nearby to hear, and they all glanced over.

Many martial artists present also had ideas brewing.

There are many versions of the folk story about the snake dragon transforming into a dragon.

Many know about this dragon transformation thunder tribulation.

Legend has it that the snake dragon wounded by this thunder tribulation, after transforming, the dragon blood it sheds can cure all illnesses! It can enhance cultivation, refine the body!

Its fallen dragon scales can be made into Divine Armor Talismans for protection, impervious to swords and firearms, immune to water and fire, no evil dares approach!

If fortunate enough to obtain it, whether dragon blood or dragon scales, they are priceless treasures!

Thinking of this, many hearts began to heat up.

Boom!

The ice-blue thunder paused for a moment, then the thunder light erupted again, constantly striking that snake dragon.

This caused the snake dragon to continuously roar painfully, and those below could faintly hear the pain in its roars.

This thunder tribulation wasn’t easy to withstand!

However, after many times of this, dragon blood and dragon scales still didn’t fall down.

Until that ice-blue thunder turned into pure gold!

At that moment, the golden light was dazzling and blinding.

The thunder suddenly exploded, the booming sound split the air, leaving everyone below with a buzzing in their minds, a blank.

Within it, there was a dragon’s roar, but no one could hear it.

Under the golden light, the snake dragon kept struggling and rolling in the clouds, as if overwhelmed.

This time, the golden celestial thunder lasted for about half a minute before stopping.

During this process, golden dots continuously fell out of the clouds from its body, bursting with brilliance, descending towards a mountain range below.

"That is!"

Song Changming’s eyes lit up as he watched those falling golden dots.

He had read in a travel journal that a snake dragon transforming into a dragon was a rare opportunity!

The one who sees it can obtain a blessing.

Its dragon transformation essence blood struck down by celestial thunder turns into Dragon Transformation Pearls, obtaining it can transform one, change destiny!

Forming a dragon body, Vajra Indestructible!

"If it’s truly like the story says, these Dragon Transformation Pearls are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Song Changming muttered to himself.

Many desired this opportunity, and he was no exception!

Having lived in Donglai Prefecture for thirty years, quietly practicing martial arts for over ten years without seeing the vast world.

This legendary opportunity presenting itself at his doorstep might be rare and hard to find in all ages, both modern and ancient.

Skyward, above the black clouds, beyond what everyone below could see, a massive creature seemed to emerge from the dark endless abyssal prison, carrying bright golden light, soaring upwards!

A loudest dragon roar shook the universe.

The thick black clouds churned violently, as if about to be dispersed by this dragon roar.

Rays of twilight pierced the black clouds, illuminating the land, even the falling rain seemed to emit a glow.

The dragon swam joyfully through the sky, not perishing in the thunder tribulation, indicating its successful transformation into a dragon!

Perhaps out of joy, the dragon swung around, flicked its dragon tail, and crashed straight into Cloud Mountain in the distance.

That Cloud Mountain was recognized as the highest peak in Donglai Prefecture, towering into the clouds.

Yet unexpectedly today, the intact Cloud Mountain suffered heavily, as the dragon knocked off its peak, leaving only the midsection below the clouds.

From then on, Donglai Prefecture had one less prominent landmark.

"It’s gone, it’s gone..."

Beside him, Song Ping’an saw the dragon flying away happily, disappearing, and finally muttered.

"Go! Ping’an! Seize the opportunity!" Song Changming snapped back to reality, suddenly enthusiastic, and grabbed him.

"Ah, opportunity..." Song Ping’an was bewildered; he hadn’t read the story of the snake dragon transforming into a dragon.

"First go grab the horses, I’ll explain on the way." Song Changming urged.

He knew this opportunity, and certainly others knew too.

If slow, the opportunity wouldn’t be his.
