CHAPTER 201 — NINEFOLD SOVEREIGN ARRAY (PART III: DRAGON'S WRATH)
The mountains were gone.
Where once a jagged range had stretched across the horizon, now there remained only a collapsing avalanche of stone, dust, and shattered jade crystal. Entire cliffs had been sliced apart by the strike of the Ninefold Sovereign Array, their broken halves tumbling down the slopes like giants falling from grace.

The Jade Dragon rose again.
The massive wound across its chest still burned with azure light, the lingering energy from Dean Xu Canglong's Execution Strike refusing to fade. Fractured emerald scales hung loosely along the creature's torso, dripping crystalline blood that evaporated into green mist before touching the ground.

It looked wounded.
But it did not look defeated.
If anything, the injury had awakened something deeper.
