《World Transcending Dragon Paragon [HIATUS]》Prologue: Battle to Save the World
Advertisement
The Nineorigin Chaosworld was famed as vast without end, an amalgamation of countless lesser worlds, 900 greater worlds and 9 supreme worlds. With the Five Elements as the core, Wind and Thunder forming the inner heaven and Light and Darkness forming outer boundary, its Daocore disseminated limitless energy to the denizens of the world, allowing them to cultivate, to refine their inner selves and grasp the profound Dao!
However, at the moment, the minor and major worlds were almost completely destroyed! Countless lifeforms were exterminated, turning to dust, with even their souls exterminated. Only the 9 supreme worlds which were the core of the chaosworld were left intact.
At the limits of the boundaries of this chaosworld, in the boundless darkness of space, two figures stared at each other. The energy radiating from their bodies could exterminate all life from a minor world in an instant.
“Hahaha! Only the 9 core worlds are left! Once I deal with you, I will destroy them. That would be the death-knell for this pitiful chaosworld!” A black haired beauty clad in a red robe that covered little of her body proclaimed this loudly.
The target of her words, a white haired swordsman kept his silence as he drew his sword. With a flick of a finger, the sword turned into a sweeping pure white swordlight, transforming the space surrounding him into a domain. Earth spontaneously formed beneath the man’s feet and a natural law descended, transforming the barren earth into a vast sword. This was a swordworld!
“A Perpetual Sovereign of your age has formed a Swordworld? It seems that your comprehension of the sword has reached a peerless realm. The three Perpetual Sovereigns of your world could only use a formation to restrict me, but their battle prowess was pitiful. I played with them for a thousand years before unraveling their formation and slaughtering them! It seems you took that time to cultivate yourself, huh? Let’s see how long you can entertain me!” A spear formed in the woman’s hands. Woman and spear flew like dragons, aiming to pierce the swordworld formed by the man!
“Die, vile woman!” With each sentence, the sword intent surrounding the swordworld multiplied in intensity as it flew to slash the woman in half. A Perpetual Sovereign could form a world within himself. Beginning from a minor world, with cultivation, it would transform to a major world and finally a supreme world! The white swordsman’s swordworld was a supreme world, rendering him an existence at the apex of Perpetual Emperors. However, the woman facing the swordworld considered Perpetual Sovereigns as insects she could crush at will!
“An Perpetual Emperor of your age actually refined a supreme world! It seems that you have some talent… as such, I won’t play around anymore! Battle against this!” The spear in the hands of the woman multiplied in size, becoming as large as the swordworld in an instant! The two weapons which surpassed the sizes of entire worlds clashed against each other, trying to overpower their opposition. A shockwave swept out, forming large spatial cuts. A stray star was swallowed by a spatial cut, and the luminous mass disappeared in an instant.
The weapons clashed for a few rounds, forming overpowering shockwaves that tore through space like paper. The sword held the majesty of a supreme world with converging profound Daos while the spear was like a black hole, aiming to swallow even the light and plunge everything into eternal darkness!
After what seemed like an eternity, the crumbling of space finally stopped as the weapons returned to their wielders.

“It seems that a clash of weapons is meaningless! Woman, unveil your true strength!” The man roared as boundless power erupted from him, multiplying the size of his body, finally ending at 36,000 km long. The entire body seemed like a peerless sword, a sword that could sever spacetime, the Great Dao and even chaosworlds!
“The sword is my body, the sword is my heart, the sword is my spirit, the sword is my path!” Boundless sword intent radiated from the white man and his swordworld synchronized. Finally, the gigantic figure of the man grasped the swordworld like a swordsman wielding a 3 foot sword!
In response, the black-haired woman flicked a finger, causing her spear to disappear. In an instant, she transformed into a 108,000 km long black dragon. The dragon’s body was clawless and wingless, with a figure like a coiling dragon or a flood dragon, a dragon that was not yet a true dragon. Myriad runes were etched on her skin, and a tremendous aura of desolation emanated from her! All cultivators would emit the Dao that they had comprehended, but what the black dragon emanated was the desolation of a white dwarf in the boundless starry sky!
“It has been quite a while since a cultivator has shown enough strength to witness my true form. Countless chaosworlds have suffered destruction as my Desolate Dragon Clan destroyed them and swallowed their Daocores! And now, your chaosworld will suffer the same fate!” The melodious voice of the girl had morphed to a great roar, but nevertheless, the message was comprehended.
“Desolate Dragon… A starbeast! An existence that swallows stars in infancy and worlds after they mature… You are obviously not an infant. But no matter how long you have lived, you’re your long lifespan ends here!” The white haired swordsman raised the swordworld and flew to confront the black dragon.
The black dragon roared, causing spacetime to come to a standstill and shatter. Normally, the walls of space would instantly recover, but it seemed as if the force of the roar forced even space to stay shattered! This was imposing a law on the boundless world, forcing it into desolation!
Seeing the peerless might of the black Starbeast, the white-haired swordsman paled. Nevertheless, he used the swordworld as a three-foot sword, dexterously slashing down on the humongous dragon. However, not a single drop of blood fell.
Whip! The tail of the dragon swiped down, forcing the swordsman to dodge. He once again slashed down with the power of numerous Daos, but the skin of the black dragon emitted an aura which ground away at the strength of the sword blows!
The battle had reached a stalemate. The dragon could not hit the swordsman, while swordsman’s strikes were meaningless.
The two foes stared at each other for a moment, before the black dragon resumed its attacks. Peerless might shattered space like glass, causing the swordsman to incessantly evade.
“Swordsman, while I cannot hit you for now, my every move is causing the boundless power of desolation to erode away this chaosworld! It won’t take long until all life in this world turns extinct, the principle of karma shatters and the Daocore of this world reveals itself! After that… hmph!” A great roar blasted from the black dragon’s mouth, filled with frustration with its inability to bat away the ant harassing her.
“Impossible!” Suddenly, the white swordsman realized that he had been too focused to defeating the black dragon, even reaching the point where he forgot about the power of destruction contained in her attacks!

‘I cannot even scratch her with my current strength, while every moment she breathes grounds away the Nineorigins chaosworld… How can I battle her? The Sword Dao is famed to purify all evil, but reaching a level where I can purify this desolation which reduces even universes to dust is simply wishful thinking…”
Suddenly, a wave of power entered the body of the swordsman, invigorating him. The power comprised of nine elements, coming straight from the Daocore of the world! The chaosworld supplied strength to its defender, not allowing him fall!
“The Daocore is granting you strength… it seems like it has finally realized the danger it is in. However, no Daocore can restrict me, a Desolate Dragon!” The tail that whipped out like a divine spear froze spacetime in an instant, causing the swordsman to be unable to flee. Against his approaching doom, the swordsman slashed out… causing bloody flesh to fall!
“That Daocore has granted you such strength?!” This was the first time that the black dragon had sustained injuries in a long time. The collaboration of three Perpetual Emperors had failed to even scratch her, while a lone man had injured her with a single slash? How could it be?
In reality, the assistance provided by the Daocore was limited. However, for a Perpetual Emperor who had reached the absolute apex, the next step of cultivation was condensing a Chaoseed, refining it into a Daocore and forming a chaosworld in the dantian! The Daocore’s transmission of energy had the dual effect of filling the white haired man with insights, causing him to make staggering leaps in his cultivation every moment!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Every flash of swordlight tore into the black dragon, causing her fleshy body to be continuously minced to pieces! With every moment, the black dragon weakened and the momentum was seized by the white swordsman!
Suddenly, the vast power of chaos that filled the boundless universe descended on the white swordsman. It was a power that did not originate from the Nineorigin chaosworld, but hailed from the boundless expanse outside. The boundless power of chaos was nursed in the dantian of the white swordsman fused with his soul, finally condensing into a chaoseed!
“I have left the boundary of Perpetual Emperor and finally broken through to a Chaos Sovereign. Black dragon, face your death!” The white haired swordsman flicked a single finger at the black dragon. The swordlight that flashed chopped through the power of desolation and cut through the black dragon!
“An entry-level Chaos Sovereign dares to be so arrogant? I cannot battle you for now, but after I completely mature, I will come for your head!” The cut that had chopped the dragon in half quickly mended, and the dragon swiftly flew away. However, would the swordsman let the beast that decimated his chaosworld run so easily?
“You killed my three seniors and destroyed countless lives in your mad slaughter. How can I let you go so easily?” The swordworld in the man’s hand turned into countless streaks of swordlight that instantly surrounded the black dragon. A cage of swordlight began to grind on the vast dragon, slowly condemning it to death!
“You… an entry-level Chaos Sovereign dares to cage me? It seems that I have to sacrifice some blood essence…” The runes on the black dragon’s body glowed as it burst out with unpredecented strength, shattering the cage of swordlight!
“That was simply my sword Dao. Let me show you… the true strength of a Chaos Sovereign!” The boundless chaotic energy that filled the vast expanse of the universe descended, fusing with the sword intent of the white swordsman. A sturdier cage bound the black dragon and the power of chaos strived to tear through the Starbeast!
No matter the secret arts used or the blood essence sacrificed, the black dragon could not shatter the cage binding it. The swordsman observed the runes burned on the dragon’s skin as he maintained the cage of swordlight.
For 25 years, the black dragon was bound by the sword cage. No matter how hard it tried to exit, it was impossible for it to leave. The Daocore slowly recovered, helped by the chaos power of the white swordsman.
“Hahaha… It seems that it is impossible for me to leave from this vile cage… A noble Desolate Dragon shall die in a chaosworld, bound by a entry-level Chaos Sovereign… What a shame…” The white swordsman only glanced at the dragon before returning to observing the runes on the dragonskin. The dragon had descended into frenzied insanity when it finally realized that death was inescapable.
“Your blasted chaosworld should be damned to destruction… Since I am fated to die anyway, let me take it to its final destruction with me…” Suddenly, an immensely powerful bloody shadow formed around the black dragon, shattering the cage of swords! The flesh and bones of the black dragon shattered, and runes engraved on the dragonskin shot out, forming a grand formation.
Limitless power of desolation emitted from the formation, turning the black dragon that birthed it into dust. With a flick of a finger, the white swordsman captured the soul of the black dragon and delved into it, searching for information on the grand formation. Before the soul was exterminated by the power of desolation, he luckily retrieved some information.
“Ninerune Great Destruction Array… This is formed from the Dao engraved on the Desolate Dragon and can destroy boundless worlds with the might of extermination… Only by comprehending the law of Desolation can this array be dispersed… Impossible, my understanding of Desolation from the black dragon’s runes cannot compete with this array!” The swordsman called on the power chaos to battle the array, but it was useless. The Daocore of the Nineorigin world did not even attempt to battle against the power.
“Is the Nineorigin Chaosworld fated to be destroyed…?” Just as despair filled the swordsman, a power emanated from the Daocore.
“Teleportation…? You want me leave?” A strange feeling filled the swordsman’s heart. The will of the world wished for him to escape and was willing to sacrifice itself for him!
“…No, I can’t leave.” A serene expression filled the swordsman, resolve to face death standing. Limitless power of chaos was attracted to his body, filling the chaoseed with power.
“My understanding of the Desolate law isn’t high, but I do have some understanding. Nineorigin chaosworld, your final surviving expert shall sacrifice his life for your rebirth!” With incomparable resolve, the swordsman spat out the chaoseed out of his body. Limitless power of creation fused into the Daocore of the world, allowing it to oppose the desolation!
As the body of the swordsman crumbled away, the chaoseed controlled by swordsman’s soul shot into the Ninerune Great Destruction Array. In his final moments, the swordsman countered the relentless power of destruction by the inexhaustible power of creation. As the power of desolation was finally destroyed, the soul of the swordsman finally began to crumble.
Just then, the Daocore attracted the soul, saving it from destruction. Having safeguarded the chaosworld from destruction, why wouldn’t the chaosworld save the brave hero that saved it?
This story begins with the white swordsman awaiting reincarnation, striving to create a magnificent legend once more!

The Lost Legacy
From the North a darkness comes. Struggle is all Galacor can do with no help and drowned in the murky web of human politics. It is up to a young boy to become a king and lead its armies to make one final stand.
8 75The Earth, Forgotten
Isaack was initially a freight-ship pilot, and he had been trapped on Earth because when he was traveling through the Fallen Dead Zone - that being the “dead zone” that is a specific section of the Milkyway that includes the solar system known as Sol (although that name has been lost in time) - his freight-ship malfunctioned, and eventually he ended up stranded on Earth. His ship had landed upon a white sand beach neighbouring the ocean. If one were to travel upon the beach, traveling away from the direction of the sea, they will soon find themselves in a dense forest, where life of all kinds prospered and flourished.
8 122The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
