Chapter 259: Chapter 165: An All-Out, Unreserved Battle (4K)_2
"I hope Renea can succeed, and I hope she survives."
The Mirror Person said, "It seems you gave her a Dragon Thunder Plant seed, didn't you?"
Xue Jing nodded, "That is a tree species... Once the True Dragon's claws touch it, there will inevitably be a major commotion."
"When that happens, I'll immediately control the seed to form a root bulb sphere, enclosing her within to keep her as safe as possible."
The Mirror Person hummed in acknowledgment, "Next, it'll depend on whether her fate is tough enough."
"Wait, and keep hope alive."
...
In the center of the cliff at the Roaring Great Waterfall, inside the huge Water Curtain Cave.
Renea was released from the claws of the True Dragon, and because of the True Dragon's immense size, she fell from a height of tens of meters, watching helplessly as she plummeted toward the ground.
Believing she would die before accomplishing her mission, Renea was terrified, but then realized she had fallen into a soft embrace.
Before she could calm her startled spirit, she looked up and suddenly exclaimed with joy:
"Sister!"
The person who caught and held her was her sister, the former Dragon God Priestess—Dottia.
"Renea, why are you here? Who let you conduct the ritual?"
Dottia held Renea's face, her voice filled with both joy and urgency as she asked.
She resembled Renea closely, with shoulder-length hair and slightly dusky, smooth skin, but differed in that her breasts were much more developed than Renea's, giving off a strong maternal aura.
It was these perfectly matched 'airbags' that allowed Renea a safe landing from the air.
With her face gripped, Renea spoke in a muffled voice: "It's a long story..."
Dottia softly said, "Then we'll talk about it later."
After speaking, she led Renea toward the Dragon God, and both of them knelt on the ground, reverently saying:
"Great Dragon God..."
The True Dragon, with its bark-like scales, glanced at them, ignored them, turned around, and went deep into the cave to lie down, half-closing its vertical pupils as if to rest.
Renea was about to rise, but Dottia held her down, and the two continued kneeling on the ground.
Only after about ten minutes, realizing that the Dragon God had no reaction, did Dottia finally relax. She stood up with Renea, holding her hand, and they quietly retreated to the mouth of the Water Curtain Cave.
"Great Dragon God has a very bad temper, you must be very careful living here..."
Dottia earnestly advised Renea.
But immediately, Renea shook her head, speaking softly: "Sister, let me tell you about what has happened outside..."

Dottia paused, then nodded, earnestly starting to listen.
Renea recounted everything from the beginning, how after inheriting the role of priestess, she had failed to tame even a single dragon and was considered the most useless priestess in history, narrating the events of the recent times.
After listening, Dottia's mouth hung open in disbelief: "It's really that way... That foreigner, did he kill all the dragons, including the Three Nobles!?"
Renea nodded affirmatively, saying: "He's very strong, incredibly strong!"
"That's also why I conducted the ritual and came to the side of the Great Dragon God... Sister, do you want freedom?"
Looking at the determined glow in her younger sister's eyes, Dottia was somewhat spellbound.
...
Before long, the two priestess sisters stood at the cave entrance, looking toward the sometimes visible, sometimes hidden Dragon God deep inside the cave.
In each of their right hands, they held a silver-white, beautifully sharp claw.
"... Once we take this step, we can't turn back, Renea. We're definitely going to die."
Dottia's voice trembled as she spoke.
In her eyes were three parts fear, three parts excitement, and four parts concern for her sister.
"It's okay, sister."
Renea, on the other hand, seemed very calm.
She smiled gently at Dottia and said,
"What difference is there now between us and death?"
"Freedom and life, if we do nothing, we have neither, let's take a risk, perhaps we'll have both."
Dottia was silent for a moment, then tenderly said,
"Renea, you've become stronger."
"Let's go, meet our destiny."
The two stepped cautiously and silently toward the cave, slowly approaching what seemed to be the slumbering Dragon God.
Perhaps the Dragon God was truly asleep, not noticing them, or perhaps it detected them but simply did not care what two insignificant ants were up to, so it didn't bother to open its eyes.
The Shrine Maiden sisters reached the Dragon God with ease and clearly heard its thunderous, steady breathing.
The sisters, one standing under the Dragon God's armpit, the other beside its head, looked at each other, dared not speak, and simply nodded quietly.
Then, they raised the silvery-white claws in their hands and swung the blades of rebellious faith at the deity they worshiped.
The moment they raised the claws high, the True Dragon, a race favored by the heavens, received an instinctive intuition warning, causing it to suddenly open its vertical pupils.
However, perhaps because it had been invincible since birth and had never faced anything threatening, although the True Dragon sensed the danger, its reaction was a moment too late.
"Hissss—"
The two silvery-white claws plunged directly into its scales, which were many times harder than steel, like a hot knife through butter, without any resistance.
Once the claws were inside the True Dragon's flesh, they seemed to come alive, automatically burrowing deeper.
"Roar—!!!!"
A mad, furious roar echoed through the heavens and earth, the entire Water Curtain Cave began to shake violently, the Shrine Maiden sisters' eardrums were instantly ruptured by the sound waves, blood gushed from their ears, and they passed out.
Outside, Xue Jing, sitting on the cliff, immediately noticed the commotion.
He heard the rage and pain in the True Dragon's roar, his spirit lifted, realizing Renea had succeeded!
Without any hesitation, he immediately controlled the Dragon Thunder Plant seeds carried by Renea, extending dozens of thick golden roots to wrap around and protect Renea.
At the same time, he mobilized his Power, channeling Whirlwind Thunder to boost his legs, as he blasted forward, stirring up layers of air waves, sprinting toward the Roaring Great Waterfall.
"Pfff—"
As the water burst open, Xue Jing entered the cave, taking in the scene before him.
The massive True Dragon lay on the ground, writhing like a fish out of water, continuously emitting painful roars, with golden lightning exploding from its body, shattering and piercing everything around it.
Before it, stood a golden root-formed sphere, somewhat battered by the Dragon Thunder.
Apart from that, there was a girl who resembled Renea, lying unconscious on the ground, blood oozing from her ears, yet, fortunately, not affected by the Dragon Thunder.
Xue Jing immediately employed Twin Speed, shot forward, grabbed the girl on the ground, and threw her into the golden wooden sphere.
The wooden sphere, controlled by him, opened a hole and received the unconscious girl, and then Xue Jing's right arm ignited with Shadow Flame, transforming into a pitch-black armored giant hand, grabbing the golden wooden sphere and forcefully flung it out of the cave.
Everything ready, Xue Jing looked towards the irreparable wounds under the flailing giant dragon's armpit and head, his gaze sharp.
"You did well, Renea, you defeated your destiny."
"Now, leave the rest to me."
Dodging a golden lightning strike, Xue Jing took a deep breath, reached into his pocket of his tactical suit, and pulled out a golden seed, scattering it into the air.
Countless golden roots, branches, thorns, vines, and flowers twisted and entwined densely around him in the air.
In the shadows of the cave, dense black currents were drawn and surged towards him, transforming into roaring Dark Flame.
Intensely concentrated spirit ignited the Life Fire, Divine silver tinged his pupils.
"Then, let's begin," Xue Jing murmured softly.
"With all our might, wits, and bravery exhausted."
This would be his first battle of truly going all out without reservation in his life.
"The feat of slaying the True Dragon shall be accomplished by my hands,"
