The golden light draconic realm created by the Earth Dragon King simultaneously obstructed both the Tiangang Swordmaster and Zhu Yi while the Azure Skies Dragon King lunged savagely for the Qin Emperor Shi Yu above the Immortal Dragon City like a violent rolling wave.
As the Immortal Dragon City inched closer into a state of deep slumber, its energy weakened continuously. Facing the Azure Skies Dragon King, Shi Yu instantly helped a sense of inadequacy.
The Azure Skies Dragon King’s fiery wrath has fallen already on the Immortal Dragon City. The city’s foundation was sturdy, and even with its Original Soul descending into deep slumber, its actual body could still withstand the Dragon King’s assault, but the Qin Emperor Shi Yu on the city walls could not receive any protection from the city.
Even though he was also a powerhouse in the Way of the Virtual Entity, he was still no match for a great demon just a step away from reaching the Vipralopa Stage like the Azure Skies Dragon King.
At this time of crisis, Shi Yu could not destroy the ongoing sacrificial ceremony in time. He clasped his hands together and conjured a spell, summoning rays of mana which morphed into a giant ball of light amidst the void space. Following that, Shi Yu condensed his own True Fruits of the Dragon Emperor. Light streams of five different colors merged and transformed into multiple glistening golden Dao Fruits which flew into the ball of light.
The ball of light instantly changed its appearance again, projecting numerous dazzling yet bizarre images. There were mountains and wide plains, but these images did not depict the Barren Expanses. These were the sights of the Divine Lands, the fertile grounds within the Great Qin Empire’s borders, supporting a large prosperous population.
From there, countless streams of multi-colored shapeless air currents lifted into the air, morphing to Light Dragons. This was the Great Qin Empire’s Draconic Energy Flow, which gathered towards the Qin Empire’s capital Xiling City.
The entire Xiling City seemed to have transformed into an enormous spell formation brimming with boundless Draconic Energy Flow, forming a web-like network of light streams flowing quietly. And at the heart of this spell formation was the Main Hall of the Great Qin Empire’s Imperial Palace, and over there lay a smaller spell formation that cloaked the entire Main Hall.
All the Draconic Energy Flow concentrated at that spot. The spell formation in the center of the Imperial Palace rotated at an incredible speed as a giant ball of light gradually took shape above the spell formation, absorbing most of the Draconic Energy Flow.
Seemingly traversing boundless void space, the Draconic Energy congregated in front of the Qin Emperor Shi Yu and fused into his body through the True Fruit of the Dragon Emperor inside the ball of light.
Travelling across the void space naturally could not compare to the power he would receive if he remained inside Xiling City, but this still caused Shi Yu’s bodily energy to surge to exceptional levels, granting him the ability to temporarily withstand the Azure Skies Dragon King’s assault.
The Azure Skies Dragon King let out a deafening roar. The scales covering his body began to open up, allowing great amounts of dark green light to burst forth, as vast as a sea of mist.
Amidst this dark green ocean, the star oscillated up and down, causing the dark green ocean’s color to become clearer but darker until it ultimately dimmed to a shade of pure black, as if transforming into a sea of ink.
The violent rolling waves instantly engulfed Shi Yu and the ball of light.
There were numerous five-colored Light Dragons prancing around Shi Yu’s body, but they instantly began shattering after being swallowed by the sea of ink.
The sea of ink was the result of the Azure Skies Dragon King channeling his Azure Dragon Flames to its maximum potential while integrating the energy of the star he cultivated. The sea of ink could neutralize countless spells and erode the energy of the opponents’ abhijina and mana to a even greater degree than the Azure Treasure Light Realm.
If Shi Yu had not conjured the ball of light to boost himself using the Divine Lands’ Draconic Energy Flow, he would have perished in the instant when the sea of ink engulfed him. But now, he was still struggling for his life by the skin of his teeth like a single raft in the middle of a raging storm, about to capsize anytime.
The sea of ink eroded his abhijina and mana incessantly at great speeds like boiling water melting snow, about to obliterate him.
Inside the Earth Dragon King’s golden light realm, Zhu Yi and the Tiangang Swordmaster were attacking the draconic realm’s magic items in front of them. After a futile attempt, Zhu Yi transformed back into his human form from his Literary Taiji Diagram’s Immortal Soul form. His gaze was tense, and he pointed his finger at his forehead.
A speck of light suddenly flew out from the center of Zhu Yi’s eyebrows.
This speck of light may look unassuming, but it already aroused the Earth Dragon King and the Tiangang Swordmaster’s attention from the moment it appeared.
The Earth Dragon King’s golden light realm tremored.
As the speck of light flickered, its glow dissipated and it transformed into a piece of black and white jade. This piece of jade burst with a stunning radiance in the void space, instantly conjuring light and mist which blanketed the skies. The intersecting light streams of black and white shook the entire void space, as if a sun created from the fusion of Yin and Yang was steadily rising!
Wherever the light shone, countless cryptic talisman runes and patterns occupied the void space, shaking the heavens.
In the following instant, the dual-colored light morphed into an incredible rainbow that arched across the void space, as if the golden light realm had split into two halves. Amidst the light, a persistent chorus of Buddhas sang. Countless lighted shadows of Buddhas materialized into physical entities and stood together above the light.
“Is this the Celestial Sect Leader’s Holy Light of Creation? Is that the actualization of his Holy Light of Creation?” The Earth Dragon King and the Tiangang Swordmaster have both duelled with Lin Feng before, and they instantly recognized the dual-colored light before their eyes that sent shivers through the body. It was indeed Lin Feng’s Holy Light of Creation.
The Tiangang Swordmaster took a deep breath. “Such magnificent power, how much holy light did he actually gather in order to crystallize this result? Even with his true form, isn’t this instantaneous burst of power too formidable even for him?”
Zhu Yi remained silent and quickly activated his Higan Golden Bridge to merge with the majestic radiance. As both forces blended, the Higan Golden Bridge’s strength instantly elevated to incredible levels.
An eighth ring of light appeared above the original seven rings, and a ninth one almost appeared into view!
This was something that Lin Feng handed him before he left for the Purple Mist Sea to prevent great demons in the Vipralopa Stage from dispatching him midway through his journey.
Lin Feng previously managed to crystallize his own Holy Light of Creation although he did not expend a great amount of effort. Zhu Yi received the crystallized creation and fused it with his Higan Golden Bridge, allowing him to deal with great demons in the Vipralopa Stage.
Zhu Yi himself was not a stubborn and inflexible person, and readily adapts to the impending situation. He would alter his strength based on the circumstances, and he would readily borrow his master’s strength without carrying any emotional burdens. But like Wang Lin, he still wished to settle his own problems as much as his own power allowed to avoid disturbing Lin Feng.
But this situation was already at such a crucial point that Zhu Yi could not afford to bother with these reservations.
Using the boost from Lin Feng’s Holy Light of Creation, the Higan Golden Bridge traversed the golden light draconic realm with its unprecedented and unrelenting might, shattering countless Light Dragons in its path.
At this moment, the Tiangang Swordmaster hesitated no longer and channeled his full strength, unleashing the full essence of his sword cultivation and sword will, creating the boundless galaxy formed from his sword radiance once more, fusing it with Zhu Yi’s Higan Golden Bridge. The three great forces combined and simultaneously crashed down upon the barrier erected by the Earth Dragon King.
The Earth Dragon King let out a furious roar. The Dragon Emperor’s Celestial Roar reverberated through the entire void space. The originally clear golden light realm suddenly became murky and turbid. The vital spirit and demonic energy within the realm blended and shuddered continuously, seemingly collapsing with the whole of the Greater Worlds descending into utter destruction.
As the golden light draconic realm began collapsing, crashing down on Zhu Yi and the Tiangang Swordmaster. The terrifying power far exceeded all the destructive energy of the Middle Worlds.
But the golden bridge and the river of stars still broke through all the destruction under the cloak of the dual black and white glow. The formidable power it yielded to cross the realm forcefully endured the collapse of the golden light draconic realm.
FInally, the Higan Golden Bridge charged out of the decimating golden light draconic realm!
The Earth Dragon King belted out a deafening roar. The collapsing golden light draconic realm instantly transformed into the form of a golden-scaled Immemorial Celestial Dragon. His vital spirit was slightly damaged after his defenses were forcefully penetrated, but what made him feel even worse was, the wound from his broken claw seemed to be acting up again after coming in contact with the black and white glow.
The youngster in purple who severed his claw and tail back then seemed to have appeared before his eyes once again, causing him to seethe with uncontrollable anger.
The Earth Dragon King, seemingly going berserk beyond control, twisted his body and coiled his giant body over the Higan Golden Bridge, attempting to bind it in a deadlock.
Having fused with the Higan Golden Bridge, the Tiangang Swordmaster’s Tiangang Sword Star River was also being coiled by the Earth Dragon King.
The Tiangang Swordmaster did not utter a word. Under his manipulation, the Tiangang Sword Star River suddenly churned with rolling waves, sending countless dazzling Sword Stars bobbing up and down, transforming into a massive sword radiance which pierced the Earth Dragon King.
The Earth Dragon King’s golden dragon scales opened and closed continuously, with boundless golden light and clouds bursting forth, corroding the incoming sword radiance.
He then yanked his jaws open, sucking in the Tiangang Sword Star River which was fused with the Higan Golden Bridge.
The dragon’s mouth was like a black hole, exploding with a horrifying suction force. The galaxy of Sword Stars became unstable as large amounts of sword radiance and sword Qi was being sucked up and swallowed into the Earth Dragon King’s mouth as though they were not causing him any damage at all. Such an incredible force was about to swallow even the Tiangang Swordmaster himself.
The Tiangang Swordmaster’s Supernatural Consciousness shuddered violently amidst the void space. Having achieved the Vipralopa Stage, it would be overly insolent even for the Earth Dragon King to hope to simply swallow him like this. His years of bountiful combat experience allowed him to remain calm. He knew that the Earth Dragon King was intentionally trapping him to prevent him from battling the Azure Skies Dragon King and to support Shi Yu.
The Tiangang Sword Star River still wrapped around the sides of the Higan Golden Bridge tightly, not budging even from the Earth Dragon King’s violent attack.
On the other hand, the Earth Dragon King’s body coiled tightly around the Higan Golden Bridge. While he was dealing with the Tiangang Swordmaster, his front left claw mercilessly struck down towards Zhu Yi standing on top of the bridge!
If this strike lands, it would shatter Zhu Yi’s Immortal Soul.
Zhu Yi remained calm as always. The Higan Golden Bridge beneath his feet exploded with astonishing energy under the boost from the black and white Holy Light of Creation. Amidst the expansive golden glow, he forcefully caught the Earth Dragon King’s claw while channeling the golden bridge to advance forward, instantly traversing boundless void space and arriving beside the Azure Skies Dragon King.
Zhu yi unleashed his own Literary Taiji Diagram’s Immortal Soul form. The glow on the golden bridge abruptly reversed, creating an enormous suction force, about to swallow the sea of ink created from the Azure Skies Dragon King’s demonic energy.
The seemingly doomed Shi Yu suddenly felt the immense pressure being lifted off his shoulders. He channeled his own abhijina and mana, sending rays of Light Dragons prancing about, blocking the weakening sea of ink to seize a possible escape route.
But in this instant, the sea of ink suddenly divided, and a giant Yellow Dragon charged forth from the gap. He grabbed Shi Yu with both his claws!
The Hou Ning Dragon King!
Shi Yu, who had marginally withstood the sea of ink without any time to spare, could only watch helplessly as the Hou Ning Dragon King revealed his true form, who unleashed all of his power in that instant and seized Shi Yu’s chest with both his claws!
