Chapter 1286: Dragon King’s Might
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
King Zhongying had the White Bone Altar and Hundred Saint Blood Armor. He could unleash extreme combat ability and also have strong defensive powers. He’d also completed the top palm technique, Universe Divine-Stele Palm of the Immortal Vampires. Such a figure was practically undefeatable for cultivators below the Supreme Saint Realm.
Not everyone had cultivations as high as Kong Lanyou. It wasn’t easy to hurt King Zhongying to this extent.
Zhang Ruochen immediately thought that someone had collected the Dragon Sun Moon Mix and used the extreme power from the weapon to hurt King Zhongying, forcing him to run out of the Yin Yang Sea.
So, who could’ve taken the Dragon Sun Moon Mix?
Strong energy ripples kept coming out of the Savage Barren Territory. Various mountains were shaking. The beasts in the sky and on the ground were all fleeing. The closest place was Divine Dream Marsh. It would suffer from the most direct hit.
Black clouds covered the sky. Lightning would streak past occasionally with huge cracks of thunder. Wild wind blew, wailing like the roars of savage beasts.
The people of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan felt that the end of the world was coming. They all trembled in fear.
Earlier, Ao Yi had heard from Ao Xinyan that the monstrous figures of all top forces were fighting for a divine weapon in the Yin Yang Sea. Since such strong energy waves were coming from the Savage Barren Territory, he was naturally a bit afraid. He feared that the fierce battle would extend to the Divine Dream Marsh.
“Activate all defensive barriers.”
Whoos.h.!.+
Beams of light rose up along 80,000 miles of the Divine Dream Marsh. All the formations were activated, forming light s.h.i.+eld after light s.h.i.+eld. They were like bubbles, looming over this saintly land filled with Spiritual Qi and protecting it.
Roar!
Before the defensive formation was completely activated, a deafening dragon’s roar came out of a spatial wormhole. Soon after, a brilliant silver cloud appeared in the sky. A silver dragon, miles long, flew in the cloud. After spreading its wings, it covered the entire sky.
The aura radiating from the silver dragon transformed into strong pressure. It fell upon all the beings. Even Half-Saints spat out blood and fell to the ground from the pressure.
This was a dragon as strong as King Zhongying. However, the silver dragon seemed to have been hurt badly. Its abdomen had a 1,000-meter-long injury caused by a sharp weapon. It couldn’t heal and blood kept raining down from the cut.
Dragon blood contained strong icy energy. Even a drop on the ground could make a large patch of land ice over.
When the silver dragon flew into the Divine Dream Marsh, it created a tornado, making the waves in the rivers curl up even higher.
Boom, boom.
The defensive formations hadn’t been activated completely. They were shattered like eggsh.e.l.ls, unable to block the dragon at all.
“That is a Dragon King of the Winged Dragons. He’s a domineering lord of the Ancient Dragon Mountain.”
Ao Yi’s expression was pained. Earlier, two Winged Dragon emissaries had died in the Divine Dream Marsh. This Winged Dragon King might have come to take revenge.
Saints took large amounts of resources to develop. They were important figures in any force. The death of a Saint was definitely big news. It couldn’t be forgiven so easily.
“The Winged Dragon King must have competed in the Yin Yang Sea for the Dragon Sun Moon Mix Tower. It might’ve failed, so it came to the Divine Dream Marsh to take its anger out on us.” Ao Yi was mentally prepared.
Kaboom.
The ancient formation that protected Dragon Spirit Island was activated. Beams of dragon-shaped light shot up alongside the island. They projected various chainlike runes. Soaring between the heavens and earth, they loomed over the entire island.
Seeing the ancient formation activated, Ao Yi finally let out a relieved breath.
This ancient formation had been set up by a Divine Dragon. It always protected the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan. It could fend off Supreme Saints and couldn’t be destroyed from the outside.
Even when the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan almost went extinct before, it had been because of inside conflicts. Someone had damaged the ancient formation, thus making the clan suffer from unprecedented danger.
Roar!
The Winged Dragon King broke through layers of defenses and came to the Dragon Spirit Island. It flew in the air, its large body s.h.i.+ning with brilliant silver light. The river below turned silver too.
Just as Ao Yi had thought, the Winged Dragon King had failed at getting the Dragon Sun Moon Mix, so he’d come to the Divine Dream Marsh. However, he hadn’t come just to take revenge. He had another motive.
“Ao Yi, not only did you not welcome me after seeing me come to the Divine Dream Marsh, you even dared to activate the defensive formation to stop me. Do you not want to live anymore?”
The Winged Dragon King’s voice shook the earth and sky. Every word was filled with enormous power, terrifying the beings on Dragon Spirit Island.
The dragons are indeed domineering, Zhang Ruochen thought.
The Saint Dragons, young dragon lords, Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, Winged Dragon King… Each dragon that Zhang Ruochen met was more aggressive than the last. It was as if they were the n.o.blest beings in the world and everyone else was lower than them.
Ao Yi was a clan leader and naturally had pride too. He was very unhappy to see how the Winged Dragon King was here to a.s.sign blame.
“Earlier, I didn’t know that you were coming to the Divine Dragon Marsh,” he said. “I thought that a beast from the Savage Barren Territory had broken in, so I activated the defensive formation.”
“Since you know that it is I,” the Winged Dragon King said coldly, “why don’t you immediately open the formation?”
Ao Yi shook his head. “No, there is unrest in the Savage Barren Territory. If I open it, what if a beast is let in and starts a ma.s.sacre? This will be a catastrophe to the entire Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan.”
The Winged Dragon King could hear Ao Yi’s unsaid message. How dare a mere half-blood dragon compare a proper Dragon King to a beast? This was blasphemy.
Without wasting more time, the Winged Dragon King said directly, “Saint Dragon Ye Feng and Ye Yun died in the Divine Dream Marsh. Since you’re the leader, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
“There’s nothing to explain,” Ao Yi said. “Their deaths had nothing to do with the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan.”
Ao Yi’s att.i.tude infuriated the Winged Dragon King even more. “I know that they were killed by a human junior. He must be hiding in the Divine Dream Marsh right now, correct? If yes, then hand him over and I’ll forgive you and even give you a merit. When the Ancient Dragon Mountain controls the Savage Barren Territory in the future, your clan will have many advantages.”
The Winged Dragon King had failed at getting the Dragon Sun Moon Mix, so he hoped to get something else. He wanted to take that ancient relic from Zhang Ruochen.
The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon had sent a message that Zhang Ruochen had more than the ancient weapon. He also had other secret treasures, such as the Heir Stamp, the Buddha’s sarira, and the Blue Dragon Void World’s World Spirit.
These treasures weren’t comparable to a divine weapon, but they were all tempting to the Winged Dragon King. If he could take these things from Zhang Ruochen, this trip would be worth it.
So you’ve come for me.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and glanced at Ao Yi. He wanted to know what the leader of the Divine Dragon and Half Human clan would do.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have a deep relations.h.i.+p with the clan. It wasn’t worth it to offend a Dragon King for him.
Ao Xinyan feared that Ao Yi would agree to the Winged Dragon King’s conditions. “Grandfather,” she said hurriedly. “You can’t hand Zhang Ruochen over. He killed the two Dragon Saints to help our clan. How can we hand him over in his most difficult time to protect ourselves?”
“When did I say that I’d hand him over?” Ao Yi said.
“Thank you, Grandfather.” Ao Xinyan was slightly relieved. Then she looked at Zhang Ruochen and nodded her elegant head. Her eyes took away his worries.
Ao Yi knew that the Ancient Dragon Mountain was cruel. Even if he handed over Zhang Ruochen, the Winged Dragon King still might not let the clan go.
Seeing that Ao Yi didn’t reply, the Winged Dragon King began attacking Dragon Spirit Island.
He extended a claw. It shone with silver light. Then Spiritual Qi from within 1,000 miles in diameter surged into the claw, forming a silver ball. The ball’s light was as fierce as the sun. It blinded and pained everyone’s eyes.
Boom!
The ball of light crashed against the ancient formation and exploded. Various dragon-shaped beams of icy Qi surged out, continuing to strike the formation. A moment later, all the water around Dragon Spirit Island turned to ice.
After the ball of light scattered, the formation was still undamaged. Clearly, even someone as strong as the Winged Dragon King couldn’t dent the formation set up by the ancient Divine Dragons.
“Human, you think you can escape this by hiding inside the formation?”
The Winged Dragon King was aggressive and violent. He was also angry from being injured by the Kill All King in the Yin Yang Sea. After coming to the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan, he was even stopped outside. Murderous intent instantly exploded out of him.
He spread his huge wings and turned his large body, leaving the sky above Dragon Spirit Island.
“Is he leaving?” Watching the Winged Dragon King go into the distance, Ao Xinyan was slightly relieved.
Boom.
A huge explosion came from the river in the distance. The Winged Dragon King had destroyed the defensive formation on a small island in Divine Dream Marsh. He flew above the island.
The island actually wasn’t that small. It just looked tiny compared to Dragon Spirit Island. In actuality, it was hundreds of miles long and wide. More than one million clansmen lived there.
The Winged Dragon King used a devouring spell, producing gales of wind across the entire island. The clansmen on the island were all swept into the air and into the dragon’s mouth.
“Help…”
“Such strong wind! The Dragon King has come for punishment. Everyone will die.”
…
Cries for help and forgiveness mixed together on the island, but the Winged Dragon King didn’t care. He was very cruel and didn’t plan on showing mercy at all.
A moment later, the one million people on the island were all swallowed into his stomach, becoming his food.
After swallowing the Divine Dragon and Half Humans on the island, the Winged Dragon King let out a long cry. He flew back to Dragon Spirit Island and said coldly, “Ao Yi, Divine Dragon and Half Humans taste pretty nice. I’m only half-full now. There are thousands of islands in the Divine Dream Marsh. What are your thoughts now?”
