Under Azhdaha's immense body, even a simple stomp caused the entire underground space to tremble violently, making Yuto wonder if the space would directly collapse.
Azhdaha, having been suppressed by the Geo Archon for a thousand years, harbored deep resentment and had an explosive temper. Moreover, this tiny human dared to insult him, calling him fat!
He was the great Geo Dragon Sovereign, Azhdaha. Since his birth, it was the first time he had ever heard someone use the word "fat" to describe him. It was simply too much bullying for a dragon to bear.
Suddenly, violent lightning appeared on Azhdaha's tail, shooting directly towards Yuto. Although he was a Geo element giant dragon, this did not mean he could only use Geo element. As long as he was in contact with the earth, he could draw elemental energy from the ley lines. Lightning, fire, water, and ice were all at his command.
Strictly speaking, Azhdaha was a giant dragon capable of using five elements. Just based on this, Azhdaha's strength should not be underestimated, because there were very few creatures on the continent of Teyvat capable of using multiple elements. Even gods, who were The Seven, mostly mastered one element to its extreme.
A lightning spear, formed from thunder, rapidly struck down towards Yuto. Yuto did not dodge. The moment the lightning spear struck, a huge explosion occurred, and the rising dust obscured Yuto's figure.
Azhdaha felt a hint of doubt. As a giant dragon who had lived for thousands of years, his combat experience was naturally very rich. He clearly felt that his previous strike had hit that fly, but could it really be that smooth?
As the dust settled, a deep pit appeared where Yuto had been. Yuto's figure was at the very bottom of the deep pit, but he had no injuries whatsoever, not even a tear in his clothes. Yuto in the pit still stood with his hands behind his back, his expression still relaxed.
This further enraged Azhdaha. Ice shards, fireballs, water cannons, and lightning spears were all unleashed, bombarding Yuto's position.
Such a massive elemental bombardment even caused vibrations on the ground above the Dragon-Queller Tree. The monsters near Nantianmen began to flee in panic. This abnormal situation was naturally discovered and reported by the Millelith.
The elemental bombardment also caused the seal to loosen. Mountain Shaper, as the enforcer of the seal, naturally felt this anomaly immediately and quickly moved to reinforce the seal, muttering as he did so.
Is Azhdaha acting crazy again? Has the ley line been attacked again? Alas, is it really okay to treat an old friend like this?
During Azhdaha's thousand years of suppression, he had naturally attempted to break the seal countless times. Each time, Mountain Shaper reinforced the seal. Although he felt some reluctance, when he thought that Azhdaha was no longer the Azhdaha of old, he could only let out a long sigh.
How much effort did the three of them, plus the Geo Archon, put in to seal him here back then? He did not want to experience it again. If the current Azhdaha were to break the seal, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Azhdaha's elemental bombardment lasted for several minutes before stopping. After the dust cleared, he widened his dragon eyes, because he found that the fly who had insulted him was still standing in place with his hands behind his back. However, the ground around him was already riddled with holes.
Azhdaha was a little strange. Why couldn't this person be killed? Not only could he not be killed, but he didn't even have a single injury on his body. Had he been trapped for too long and was experiencing hallucinations?
"Azhdaha, have you calmed down?"
Yuto's words shattered Azhdaha's previous view. This little bug was not his hallucination; he was truly real.
"Hmph! Mortal! Why do you not kneel and beg for mercy before me?"
"To be suppressed for a thousand years and still be so ungrateful, it seems Morax did not do anything wrong."
"Ah ah ah ah! Morax! You despicable and shameless scoundrel! A thousand years of hatred, I will never give up!"
Upon hearing the name Morax, Azhdaha was instantly provoked, his aura becoming even more terrifying than before. He continuously slammed into the Geo pillars personally erected by Morax. Unfortunately, even in his prime a thousand years ago, he failed to break the seal, let alone in his weakened state after a thousand years of suppression.
Breaking the seal from the inside was not realistic, but if someone could help him from the outside, there might be a turning point.
Thinking of this, Azhdaha calmed down and looked at Yuto in the distance, a plan forming in his mind. "Mortal! I am the supreme and noble Geo Dragon Sovereign of this world, imprisoned here a thousand years ago due to the betrayal of a scoundrel. If you can release me, I will grant your every wish."
"Heh heh, All creation is in motion, mountains and seas take form, stars are born in barren lands, shining like the scorching sun. The once towering Azhdaha, after a thousand years of suppression under the Dragon-Queller Tree, has actually become a petty schemer. It seems your dignity as the native inhabitants of Teyvat has completely vanished."
"You…" Azhdaha, furious and humiliated, launched another series of elemental bombardments at Yuto. This time, Azhdaha saw clearly that when his attacks touched the opponent, they directly passed through Yuto's body and struck the empty ground behind him.
"Save your strength, Azhdaha. You can't do anything to me."
"Who exactly are you? The power of space, are you the Space Archon from back then?" Azhdaha's tone was very serious, as if he would erupt in anger if he didn't get the answer he wanted the next moment.
Space Archon?
Yuto suddenly remembered something. Teyvat was originally the world of dragons. It was Phanes, the First Throne, who descended upon Teyvat, defeated The Seven Dragon Sovereigns. In that great war, the First Throne split into four Space Archons to assist him in battle.
The abilities of the four Space Archons represented life, death, space, and time, respectively. Coupled with the First Throne himself, who was called Heavenly Principles, they perfectly corresponded to the names of the five artifacts in the allogene world: Flower of Life, Plume of Death, Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem, and Circlet of Logos.
The spatial ability Yuto had just displayed clearly made Azhdaha think that he might be the Space Archon representing space.
"Don't misunderstand, I am a pure-blooded human. Besides, the Space Archon is a woman. I don't have a habit of cross-dressing."
"Hmph! If so, what do you want from me? Is it just to humiliate me?"
"How important are you that I would specially make a trip to waste my time insulting you?"
"You…" Azhdaha, in impotent rage, stomped the ground hard, causing a violent earthquake at Nantianmen outside. Rocks rolled down, and birds and beasts scattered.
This made Mountain Shaper, who was maintaining the seal, a little confused: "Strange? Which nerve did this dragon hit wrong? He's been going crazy for so long. Usually, he just thrashes around once or twice and then gives up."
"Alright, stop struggling, Azhdaha. Back then, Morax bestowed upon you the gift of sentience and made a contract with you to coexist with the people on the land. But if one day you disrupted order, you would be sealed back into darkness.
However, the people of Liyue later over-mined minerals, damaging the ley lines and causing you immense suffering. Eventually, due to erode, you attacked The Chasm. The Geo Archon and the three Adepti joined forces to seal you here, until today. Do you still remember these things?"
"Nonsense!"
