Don't Mess with That Dragon

Chapter 36: Return and Harvest (First Update)


BOOM!!!

The void trembled, brilliant light filled the eyes, flowing like a tide.

Suddenly, it seemed as if something had crossed dimensions, crashing into the sleeping giant shadow.

In an instant, the giant beast in slumber.

Suddenly opened its eyes.

Blood-red light burst forth in the air, sweeping like a tide, filling every corner of the void.

A terrifying aura awakened, spreading throughout the surrounding space.

"Back!"

Twisting his neck, feeling his familiar body, Austin breathed a long sigh.

There was nothing unusual about his body.

His soul had spent thirty to forty years in the Martial Hero World. If time flowed the same way in the Main World, thirty to forty years without eating or drinking—even though the Giant Dragon Race can sleep for decades—would leave the body as a skeleton if returned unprepared.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

Just a little unfamiliar with his body, but he quickly recovered.

Looking around, aside from the disappearance of the Gate of Truth's base, nothing else has changed.

The traces left when he entered this space were still fresh, indicating it hadn't been very long.

Perhaps, the flow of time between worlds is different?

Soon, Austin composed himself.

"After all the hardships, I've finally returned!"

Taking some time to readjust to his body, Austin mused inwardly.

The unexpected travel was simply an unforeseen journey in his dragon life.

His foundation remains in this world.

Luckily, the gains from this trip weren't bad.

Firstly, within the Split Soul, there was still a faint connection present.

Though separated by vast distances between worlds, relying on the Fragment of the Gate of Truth within his soul, he managed to achieve mutual sensing.

Very well.

Although specific information couldn't be transmitted, retaining a sense was already very good.

After all, the Celestial Emperor Position, ruler of worlds, and the world undergoing elevation—

The grand opportunities involved are not easily encountered.

In the future, with time, he can use this connection to return to that world and reap some benefits.

With the most important gains preserved, Austin felt content.

Secondly, it's about the martial arts honed in that world.

The Martial Arts Cultivation left with Li Hu's Divine Fragment in the Martial Hero World.

The extensive martial arts knowledge and the formidable realm he once reached were brought back together.

However, upon attempting cultivation, it proved futile.

Martial arts cannot be replicated in this world.

Perhaps due to differing world rules, neither the martial arts' inner power nor Li Hu's self-created mystical fantasy martial arts techniques could be cultivated here.

The outcome was anticipated.

After all, this world does not have the concept of meridians.

Of course, he tried it himself, realizing the dragon's physique and beastman, human physique were different. Only testing Clan cultivation could truly confirm it.

However, Austin did not have high expectations.

Nevertheless, this doesn't mean the martial arts knowledge absorbed in the Martial Hero World is useless.

In that world, he transcended martial arts, becoming a creator of his own grand path.

Even if inner power true Qi cannot be refined, there's still fighting Qi.

This world doesn't have chakra, yet he could still borrow its principles to create Magic Power Rasengan.

Power resembles principles; using these experiences to establish a new system is not difficult.

Especially for Austin.

With the experience of creating mystical fantasy martial arts, adapting fighting Qi for cultivation is simple.

Plus, elixirs, artifact refining, array techniques, etc.,

Even if they can't be realized here, using principles, a new system can be created.

The decades of experience and knowledge wealth from the Martial Hero World are one of the biggest gains from his trip.

Aside from the above, the last gain is the elevation of his realm and vision.

In the Martial Hero World, Austin held the Celestial Emperor Position.

His strength gradually surpassed that of a Celestial Being as time passed.

At that time, Li Hu didn't know what realm he had truly reached, but at least he could sense his power was comparable to Legendary in this world, advancing towards Epic!

This means,

Through this journey, Austin's vision stood above the Legendary Realm!

Spiritual soul cultivation is not based on physical power.

Returning to his body, the spiritual soul gains were entirely brought back from the Martial Hero World.

Before the crossing, though Austin's body had reached the Half-Legendary Realm,

The higher Legendary Realm remained elusive.

A bottleneck as insurmountable as a chasm lay ahead.

But now, with Austin's soul returning to his body, the path ahead was clear as day.

The grand path was wide open, no bottleneck remained.

Given sufficient Magic Power, he could ascend to Legendary in no time!

Moreover, the soul gains weren't just limited to this.

Because he had reached a higher realm, his understanding and use of power deepened.

Just like a former Grandmaster, even if the realm regressed, possessing deeper martial arts understanding, his strength surpasses others of the same level.

Ignoring other factors, this higher level of power understanding alone could increase Austin's strength by more than a fold!

And with his body's cultivation level enhancement, this increase would grow.

"Though this crossing was a dangerous accident, a slight misstep and I would've been trapped in the Martial Hero World forever unable to transcend, the great danger paired with immense rewards."

For a while, towards the unwelcome guest in the depths of his soul's sea of consciousness, Austin felt conflicted.

Despite the substantial gains, unless necessary, Austin wouldn't employ that thing again.

This time luck held, taking his soul to the Martial Hero World, at least offering a chance for transcendence.

If he were dragged to a modern world with Extraordinary hidden, that would be real trouble.

No superpowers, unable to cultivate or transcend, his end would be trapped in those worlds, aging and dying.

These probabilistic experiments, it's best not to attempt.

"However, if the components of the Gate of Truth could be found and restored, could dimensional travel through the Multi-universe be done freely, resolving the flaw of going without return?"

Austin pondered silently in his heart.

Suddenly, he thought of the Beastman Royal Court at the heart of the Kawa Great Forest.

The Pure-blooded Beastmen there hold some fragments of the Gate of Truth!
