Li Ang didn't have time to ponder whether Fafnir's move was its innate ability or learned from the Demon, but its principle was similar to the Demon's curse on the Yunxiang Race, with even greater effect.

The Evil Dragon was using its own spirituality to gradually replace the key spirituality of Li Ang, while simultaneously maintaining part of its power and functions.

In other words, if it succeeded, Li Ang would become a new body of the Evil Dragon that retained his original abilities and memories, but whose thoughts had been replaced by Fafnir, and this body would also retain the abilities of the Evil Dragon.

Naturally, his body would also start to transform into a dragon's body, and as for when he would fully become the Evil Dragon, he didn't know.

In the Spiritual Horizon, Fafnir's Spiritual Line twisted and coiled, like Sharp Claws and Grinding Drills targeting Li Ang, its malice and cruelty unrelenting compared to the Crimson Demon.

He lifted his left arm, and the Demon's Hand tugged at the Bird Cage approaching him, stalemating with it.

A drop of water fell on Li Ang's face, then a second and third, carrying the warmth of the Flos Sky Realm, unlike the icy rain caused by Meluna earlier.

In this sudden rain, the rising intense Power of Dragon explained its origin to Li Ang.

Leviathan had awakened.

In the Spiritual Horizon, the Spiritual Light above the sky suddenly flared, and the view occupied by Fafnir's Spiritual Line was swiftly covered by the Water Spirit Light.

This was not an illusion, as the gathering of the Water Spirit visibly weakened Fafnir's power.

In the clouds and in the air, the water droplets, their spirituality momentarily seemed to 'come alive,' gathering rapidly and descending onto this battlefield. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The brilliance of the Water Spirit in nature shone to the extreme, making it difficult for him to adjust to the observation in the Spiritual Horizon, forcing him to shut it down.

In reality, the tiny sea-blue Little Sea Dragon was floating in a swirling Water Tornado, its crown fins fully spread, forming a majestic and beautiful crown together with the Dragon Horn extending backward.

Leviathan's clear blue eyes met those of Li Ang.

The next moment, he felt as if an entire ocean was rushing toward him, with countless images flashing through his mind, all unfamiliar yet familiar.

The beautiful vitality of the seabed, the darkness and cold of the sea abyss, the harmony of life, the cycle of tides, the relentlessness of tsunamis, the joy brought by sea views, these fleeting things were similar yet different from Earth.

And another kind of strangeness and familiarity was about the connection of life.

Just as life's origin on Earth was the ocean, perhaps Nebis was as well. Li Ang should have felt a warm embrace, but he wasn't entirely part of this place, so he could only partially comprehend this perception.

Even so, that sensation of being in a whole ocean realm encompassed him entirely, and he fully understood, wherever Leviathan was, there was the ocean.

He had no doubt that when this Little Dragon gradually recovered, reaching Level 9, it would naturally gain a Domain, which must be the true nature of the ocean in this world.

Li Ang.

When Li Ang felt like he was in the heart of the ocean, surrounded by currents and all marine life, a voice called out to him.

It didn't come from anyone he knew.

Li Ang.

It was much like Ivynis speaking to him, yet it wasn't.

Li Ang attempted to seek the Sea Serpent that created this Illusion Realm, and just as the thought arose, he saw its shadow.

It was Leviathan calling him.

"Is it you?"

A sense of closeness and a familial connection arose from his chest, regardless of whether it was due to the system or other causes, he knew deeply that at this moment, he was closely connected with the Sea Serpent Ancestor.

It is I.

The entire ocean surged into Li Ang's body.

The system notice flashed by, but it didn't need to say it, as Li Ang had already become aware of it through his own perception.

Leviathan's rebirth was dependent on the system's Monster Taming function, and communicated through the Dragon Summoner, and at this moment, all the latent connections were finally rewarded.

This power feedback, beyond Li Ang's comprehension level, instantly propelled the Dragon Summoner's Tier upward, breaking through the limit of Excellence, and a myriad of pure Magic Power formed connections with Li Ang's spirituality, then solidified as the power the Dragon Summoner could command.

Li Ang opened his eyes, seeing Leviathan looking at him from a distance.

Beside it, except for Akuya, who looked surprised, no one else realized what had transpired.

From Fafnir's attack to Leviathan's hatching, only a few seconds passed, and as Leviathan's power reached him, after a moment of perception, time in the real world seemed to have stood still.

Everyone here stood amidst a landscape akin to the seabed.

Phantoms of coral, seaweed, schools of fish, and sea beasts appeared and disappeared, with waves continuously overlapping.

Is this... a Domain?

No, not completely. This was merely a pseudo-domain composed of power leaked from the Magic Power Dimension after the Sea Serpent Ancestor's rebirth, due to its overly powerful origin.

With power linked to Leviathan, Li Ang immediately understood the current situation.

In this extreme state of Water and Dragon power, the progress of Fafnir's Soul Stealing nearly entirely halted, Li Ang sensed its inexplicable terror, unable to fathom how there could be an existence in the mortal world capable of restraining its power.
