Chapter 424: Chapter 419: Legendary Barrier Chapter 424: Chapter 419: Legendary Barrier “What is your regret?” Muria’s fair forehead burst with a few blue veins, “I’m a boy, not a girl. So, did I disappoint you? Well, I’m sorry!”

“Aha, little Muria, if you feel guilty and want to comfort your mother’s wounded spirit, you can do it now.” The Golden Dragon Mother held the extraordinarily obedient Yingdila and looked at Muria.

“What do you want me to do?” Despite knowing it was a joke, an intrigued Muria still played along.

“You look a bit like me, you know. No need to reshape your brows or line your eyes. Coupled with our Golden Dragon’s natural scent, if you put on a beautiful dress and pretend to be a pretty girl, there’s no doubt you’d pull it off.”

“Cross-dressing!” Muria’s face was as black as a pot bottom, why would a respectable Golden Dragon have such a bad taste?

“Little Muria, do you want to give it a try? If you put on a beautiful dress, and I gussy you up a bit, you could become a gorgeous girl who, like me, has thousands of males swooning.”

“Not a chance.” Muria didn’t hesitate and directly rejected such an outrageous request.

“Really not possible?” The Golden Dragon Mother glanced at Muria a bit regretfully. Even though it was just a random idea that popped into her head, it would be pretty great if it could be realised.

“I don’t want to entertain such a frivolous fantasy.” Muria gave the Golden Dragon Mother a cold look, “do you think my father would ever wear your dresses?”

A Titan who is so fierce that he runs into the Abyss with a long spear to hone his combat skills by hunting down Demon Lords, wearing a dress? The moment this thought crossed her mind, the Golden Dragon Mother quickly dismissed it. Her spouse would never do such a thing.

“No chance, right.” Muria’s face remained expressionless, yet his eyes flickered with arcing electricity, a sign of his intense emotional fluctuation, “I’m also half a Titan, so it’s also impossible for me.”

“Little Muria, there’s nothing absolute in this world. Everything is possible, as long as the timing is right and appropriate, even a mortal can kill a god.” The Golden Dragon Mother stated these reasonable words.

“But what does that have to do with Muria wearing a girl’s dress?” Yingdila, who was held in the Golden Dragon Mother’s arms, asked innocently with a loli-like voice.

“Because it is something that could potentially become a reality.” The more Dragon Mother Atreus looked at Yingdila, the more satisfied she felt. If she ignored the strange and overbearing aura around her, this little loli could perfectly compensate for her regret of not having a daughter.

Since Dad had ascended to Dragon King’s rank again, and due to their Dragon Clan Bloodline’s increase in strength, the chances of her and the increasingly powerful Ansol having another child were decreasing.

The stronger the lifeform, the less likely they are to have offspring. This is an eternal law of nature. Having offspring is essentially an alternative form of immortality for a species – a continuation of the bloodline.

That’s why those short-lived species have such a ridiculously high reproductive ability. They are too fragile and die too easily. To ensure the continuation of their bloodline, they have to reproduce frantically.

In the pyramid of the life hierarchy, the higher the position, the lower the reproductive ability, and vice versa. Ancient Dragons lose their ability to breed, not because they have lost that ability, but because their level of life is close to a level where they no longer need offspring to continue their bloodline.

Dragons are creatures that defy common sense. They lack some characteristics of ordinary life forms such as declining physical function after reaching maturity. Ageing isn’t a thing for dragons.

From birth to death, dragons are constantly growing, always full of vitality. A dragon’s life is divided into twelve age stages. The so-called old age and extreme old age stages are just deceptive terms for others.

Anyone who believes that dragons will physically decline in these two age stages is a fool. After surviving the magic bombardment of those old dragons, one usually gets beaten so badly by their mighty bodies that they start to question their existence.

These two age stages are better described as the dragons’ mental changes. After entering old age, dragons become more mature and stable in their thinking. They become more conservative in their actions and are no longer as reckless as when they were young.

So it is with the Metallic Dragon Clan and the Five-Color Dragon Clan. Even the most violent and proud Red Dragons become much more steady after entering old age. For instance, Autrein, the old Red Dragon that Muria subdued with force.

“Finally, they are gone,” Muria, sitting at the desk, breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Golden Dragon Mother, who was holding Yingdila, leave. The quiet Golden Dragon Mother indeed had the demeanor of a Golden Dragon: strong, elegant, and noble.

But the moment the Golden Dragon Mother opened her mouth, all these qualities were instantly shattered, making her seem out of tune. Her thinking is very erratic, and she doesn’t seem like a normal Golden Dragon at all.

“There will be a Titan coming soon,” Muria rubbed his eyebrow somewhat helplessly, “When exactly? It’s too vague to make a schedule.”

The perception of time for eternal life beings is totally different from that of the short-lived ones. “In a while”, for humans, means half a day, a few days at most, or maybe even a month. But to eternal life beings, a few decades could be considered a short period of time.

In the next while, Muria practiced the Clone Technique and dealt with political affairs while he also started to intensify training in his strength. He strived to fully control his surging power, caused by the Elemental Heart, before his father’s arrival.

After the Soul Intent, all sorts of changes in the body will be reflected in the Soul Intent Circles. It’s a manifestation of the soul and power that can hardly be concealed without secret techniques. Among his inheritances, Muria has not yet found such a technique.

The Titan’s inheritance mostly consists of knowledge about combat. Auxiliary battle techniques and secrets, like the Soul Possession Weapon Formation Technique, are extremely rare.

Muria felt that if his father Ansol were to see him now, he might not be in a good position. As combat is also one of the best ways to control power, his father would probably not mind letting him experience the weight and greatness of paternal love.

Thinking of the possible consequences, Muria wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. Battling with a Titan whose power far exceeds his own is not fun at all, it’s purely a one-sided beating.

“When can I level up, break through the Legendary Barrier, and become a Legendary Titan?” Muria murmured to himself. As he who’s at the peak of Soul Intent has already touched the edge of legend, but the heavy shackles made him feel a sense of despair. He knew for a fact that he had no hope of breaking through the Legendary Barrier anytime soon.
