Chapter 46 99 Dragons
"hehe......"
The chilling laughter, like the howling of a demon, echoed above Yaochi after Yuan Qingsu finished speaking, filled with indescribable anger and sorrow, and the murderous intent within it grew layer upon layer, causing the temperature of the entire world to suddenly drop to a frigid level.
The snowflakes thus condense and swirl and dance in the air.
When a supreme being unleashes his fury, the heavens and earth change color, and the landscape of eight hundred miles is transformed. In an instant, Yaochi is plunged into the dead of winter, with the wind howling like a knife and snow swirling wildly, slapping against everyone's face, chilling them to the bone.
"not good......"
Yao Xi, who was in the crowd watching the battle, suddenly changed color. Weiwei, who was standing not far from her, also looked pale as if she had seen something terrifying.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang and Hua Yunfei, who was carrying a guqin, were also stunned.
The Golden-Winged Roc King opened his mouth, his golden hair flying wildly in the wind. His chiseled, handsome face was filled with astonishment; he was stunned by the scene. To be honest, he was an arrogant and conceited man. Outsiders said that he had a demonic aura about him from the moment he hatched.
Even if his own kind competes with him, anyone who blocks his path will only face death. He once slaughtered thirteen members of his clan in a single battle, which shocked the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness. He was hailed by many in the demon race as having "the bearing of an emperor," and he was very similar to the Demon Emperor in his youth.
But he never dared to speak to a supreme expert like that.
His grandfather, the Golden-Winged Roc King, was a powerful being, so the Golden-Winged Roc King knew how terrifying a powerful being could be.
The most powerful beings are even more inviolable.
In the Dao Palace Secret Realm, someone who hasn't even reached the Dao Palace Perfection stage speaks to a powerful being like that. This is no longer the youthful arrogance of a prodigy... it's pure suicide!
The wind continued to howl, and goose-feather snowflakes danced in the air, weaving through the activated array patterns of the Yaochi Holy Land. However, because the killing intent was only directed at outsiders, the array was not further activated.
Jiang Rui stood in mid-air, in the heart of the wind and snow, his golden eyes looking down at Yuan Qingsu, gradually turning bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said, "You're very good, really very good. I haven't seen a junior like you in a long time. I hope you can continue to be so arrogant in a while."
"Thank you for your kind words, senior. I will."
Yuan Qingsu's lips curled up slightly. She paused as the tribulation light spear she had just conjured in her hand reappeared. Her voice was leisurely and indescribably pleasant: "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will kill them."
Just then, two figures also disappeared from the Heavenly Palace and silently appeared near Yuan Qingsu.
One was surrounded by 108 divine lights, dazzling and awe-inspiring like a celestial being; the other was elegant and graceful, dressed in flowing robes, mature, dignified, and beautiful.
Jiang Rui's eyes darted around, then he fixed a fierce gaze on one of them, and said in a cold voice, "Li Daoqing, this kid must die today. You can't protect him!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please forgive me."
The Holy Lord of Yaoguang locked his aura tightly on Jiang Rui and said something that almost made Jiang Rui vomit blood: "Qingsu, he is still a child. Don't take it to heart."
You son of a bitch!
Jiang Rui wanted nothing more than to stomp on Li Daoqing's beaming face, pointing a finger at him, unsure what to say. After a moment, he looked intently at the graceful and beautiful figure, "Queen Mother of the West, are you also planning to protect this boy?"
"Yuan Qingsu was a bit arrogant, but Fellow Daoist Jiang broke the rules first. As you are both from the immortal lineage of the Eastern Wilderness, you two should sit down and talk." The Queen Mother of the West sighed and tried her best to persuade him, but she knew she was in trouble. How could a top-level expert swallow such an insult from a minor cultivator in the Dao Palace Secret Realm?
Moreover, Jiang Rui has always been a domineering person.
"I will kill this brat today, or I will not be able to quell the hatred in my heart!" He snorted coldly and suddenly made his move. With one step, mountains and rivers trembled, and the gray clouds rolling above Yaochi rumbled and exploded.
In the extreme cold of the world, a point of intense heat is born.
Or rather, it was this intense heat that absorbed the light and heat of the entire landscape.
This was a strike that Jiang Rui had been preparing for a long time. The extreme light and heat fell from his palm onto Yuan Qingsu on the Yaochi Battle Platform, suddenly magnified, and transformed into a divine furnace, which was incomparably powerful and contained the raging flames that could boil the sea and burn the sky.
The furnace walls are engraved with one divine phoenix after another, lifelike in the fire and light, as if they are about to spread their wings and fly out of the furnace, sweeping across the sky and the earth.
The Sun God Furnace?
Whether it was the heroes in the Heavenly Palace or the scattered young people, they were all stunned when they saw this scene. They immediately realized that it could not be the imperial weapon left behind by Emperor Hengyu, but should be a replica made by the Jiang family.
Even so, the power of this furnace is astonishing.
It felt as if ten suns were burning within it, with rolling waves of heat sweeping down. The intensity and the murderous intent within that intensity made one feel as if their body was cracking and their whole being was about to explode, even from a distance.
Outsiders simply cannot imagine the kind of burning and oppression that Yuan Qingsu, as the direct target of the attack, suffered.
That's why the fairy-eyed girl's face looked so bad.
Vivi had sensed this terror early on.
boom!
One hundred and eight divine lights intertwined above Li Daoqing's head, transforming into a dark golden cauldron that seemed both real and illusory. The man and the cauldron moved together, positioned between Yuan Qingsu and the replica of the Sun God Furnace, colliding with Jiang Rui.
The roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes rang out alternately, and terrifying waves of divine power rippled outwards in circles, stimulating the Yaochi formation to glow and protect every blade of grass and tree in this sacred land from destruction. However, the remaining spectators were not so relaxed.
One by one, powerful figures from all over the Eastern Wilderness emerged from the Heavenly Palace and came to the vicinity of their respective disciples' areas to protect them and prevent the young talents within their sects from being destroyed.
Clang!
The replica of the Sun God Furnace clashed violently with the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron formed by the gathering of holy light, as if a god were forging iron. The impact shook the heavens, and clusters of fire flew out of the furnace in the collision, trailing long tails. They broke through the barrier of holy light and crashed like comets towards the Yaochi Battle Platform, heading straight for the young man on the platform.
"Jiang Rui!"
Li Daoqing's expression changed during the battle; the opponent's preparations were beyond imagination. At this moment, everyone deeply felt the Jiang family's determination.
"Even if the Holy Lord of Yao Guang obtains the Flame of Light, we will take it back." These words spoken by the deceased Jiang Yichen echoed in everyone's ears once again.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you've really gone too far!"
The Queen Mother of the West sighed softly, and her exquisite figure in feathered robes moved slightly, leaving a faint fragrance as she disappeared beside Yuan Qingsu. An illusion appeared above the boy's head, and her fair and delicate hand was raised to gently pat the flames falling from the sky.
An invisible force erupted, causing the void of Yaochi to tremble violently, and all the flames vanished into nothingness.
Jiang Rui, his mind encompassing all directions, sensed this scene and said coldly, "Queen Mother of the West, do not interfere! This boy is ruthless and vicious, killing my descendants. If we do not eliminate him today, he will surely become a great scourge to the Eastern Wilderness in the future!"
At the same time, in the direction of the Ji family, a mirror like a bright moon above the head of an old man with a full head of gray hair moved!
"exile!"
He gave a soft shout, and the bright mirror reflected the void where Li Daoqing and the Queen Mother of the West were, pulling the void where the two were located to ripple like water, or like a transparent giant beast opening its mouth to swallow the two of them in one gulp, for a brief exile.
Even if the Void Scripture is profound, the banishment of another peer by another peer by a peer of supreme power will not last long, but for Jiang Rui, this amount of time is enough!
He wielded the divine furnace, and a phantom appeared before Yuan Qingsu, his laughter like that of a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell: "Boy, regret it? But it's too late for regrets now. You shouldn't have provoked such a powerful being!"
"If you want to kill me, I'll retaliate and kill your descendants. It's only right and proper. Why should I regret it?"
"Because you are rebelling against me, the weak should submit to the strong, to the mighty."
Jiang Rui held up the divine furnace with one hand, and raised the other high, gathering one Dao diagram after another, before fiercely striking Yuan Qingsu with it: "Die! You lowly ant!!"
The Ji family's top expert temporarily sealed the Queen Mother of the West and Li Daoqing with a replica of the Void Mirror, while Jiang Rui was responsible for killing them, and the timing was so perfect.
Many people vaguely realized that this was by no means an impromptu killing, but a premeditated act of seizing the opportunity. Both families had been prepared for this. Jiang Yichen's death was just an excuse. Whether Jiang Yichen lived or died, the Jiang family would come after Yuan Qingsu.
Because of the torch.
The Jiang family will surely inherit the torch!
boom!!
Jiang Rui slammed his hand down on Yuan Qingsu's head, his killing intent fixed three feet in front of him. The Dao diagrams intertwined in his palms swirled with hazy chaotic energy and pulsed with intensely bright flames, enough to annihilate countless minor cultivators in the Dao Palace Secret Realm. Yet, he could no longer break through the beams of light flowing in front of Yuan Qingsu.
What happened?!
How is that possible?!
Jiang Rui's eyes widened suddenly. He had considered the possibility of unexpected events during this operation and had even prepared contingency plans, but he never expected that the obstacle to killing Yuan Qingsu would be so unexpected...
It will come from Yuan Qingsu herself!!
A deep, resonant sound echoed through the heavens and earth of Yaochi, piercing the wind and reverberating in everyone's ears. Its rhythm was so powerful and distinct, rich in the cadence of the Great Dao, as if it contained the complete laws of the origin of heaven, earth, humanity, gods, and demons.
The Holy Maiden Zixia of the Purple Mansion Holy Land was immediately drawn in by the voice upon hearing it. Just like when she first met Yuan Qingsu, she showed a look of infatuation. All the noise and clamor faded away in the world of this [Innate Dao Embryo], and only this deep and powerful voice became clearer and louder.
The drumbeats, boom boom boom boom, sounded like the gods striking the war drums signaling the change of eras on the battlefield of the universe, where heaven and earth were in chaos and darkness.
Vast, magnificent, supreme, supreme power...
"That's a heartbeat."
Looking towards the direction of the Ji family, Ji Ziyue, whose [Primordial Spirit Body] could sense the origin of all heavens, stretched out her fair hand and placed it on her nascent chest, murmuring to herself, "The heart that came from the beginning of creation is beating."
The primordial heart at the beginning of heaven and earth, the original heart!
Thump, thump, thump...
Yaochi Saintess Ayao suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the Immortal Pool, a sacred place in Yaochi. Hidden in the deep and powerful heartbeat was another heartbeat, which came from the direction that Yuan Qingsu had come from not long ago, from the nine-aperture eight-hole strange stone under the lush ancient peach tree!
This stone is mysterious and unpredictable. It has been covered with various Taoist patterns by ancient sages, listened to the Western Emperor Scripture, and even had a sage transform into Tao to fulfill its purpose.
Beneath the thick stone shell sat a human body of flesh and blood, radiating a precious glow.
If someone possessed the Divine Eye of Origin, they would be able to see through the stone skin that this Holy Spirit was a woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, sitting in meditation with her eyes closed. She was exceptionally beautiful, her body radiating celestial light, and she was both extremely beautiful and extremely majestic.
How terrifying is the Holy Spirit in his full glory?
The Stone Emperor of Undying Mountain was a perfected Holy Spirit. After his birth, he was invincible and became an emperor in heaven and earth!
Even if this female holy spirit is not completely perfect, she is not far from that step. The body that was conceived in the stone has already been completely transformed into flesh and blood, and there is a layer of immortal light flowing through her internal organs and bones. At this moment, the heart of the holy spirit resonates with the primordial heart not far away and beats gently. Even if she did not appear in her true form on the spot, she has already caused the general trend of the entire Yaochi Holy Land to tilt towards Yuan Qingsu.
Yaochi nurtured this holy spirit, and the holy spirit also nourished Yaochi in return. The two are closely related and have long had an inseparable relationship.
Therefore, Yuan Qingsu, whose pulse is synchronized with that of the Holy Spirit, is also in sync with the entire Yaochi.
Based on this, within the Yaochi Holy Land, his Origin Techniques can unleash incredible power!
Ripples appeared first on the surface of the Immortal Pool, countless bubbles rose from the bottom, and wisps of white smoke rose from the boiling water. Steel-like light flowed through the bottom of the water, transforming into many strange source technique patterns that then spread in all directions. The mystery was indescribable, as if the cracks in the lava had spread everywhere, and it was as if a volcano was about to erupt under the entire Yaochi ground.
The Yaochi Battle Platform, suspended in mid-air, was also trembling.
One after another, intense earth energy surged into the sky with thunderous roars, drawn towards a constantly beating heart. It gathered and churned before Yuan Qingsu, giving rise to enormous, slender, illusory, and perfect beings as if created from the void.
Its name exists in the five great secret realms of the Secret Realm Law. It is a manifestation of the Great Dao. Some cultivators also believe that they are symbols of destiny, the condensation of power and fortune. Their forms can be found crisscrossing across mountains and rivers. The Qinling Mountains in the Central Plains are where they gather, giving birth to endless legends and myths.
They are like immortals, never descending to the mortal realm.
Jiang Rui, born into the Jiang family, was knowledgeable and experienced, but the creatures he saw on the Yaochi Battle Platform at this moment were more majestic and ferocious than ever before.
"dragon!"
Jiang Rui muttered to himself, watching helplessly as their translucent, slender bodies swirled and danced around Yuan Qingsu, pushing away his powerful hand inch by inch. An indescribable sense of absurdity arose in his heart... or rather, fear.
He realized that this was not a real dragon, but a source technique, but he couldn't understand why such a source technique would appear on an ant.
Roar--!
One after another, seemingly real dragons were born, circling and flying around the Yaochi Battle Platform. Then they bent their necks, lowered their heads, and their huge heads pierced through the clouds, hovering between the boy and the old man, staring at Jiang Rui, whose eyes were like golden lamps. They were like living dragons with spirits, their eyes were golden, and their bodies were covered with fine, pale golden scales, lifelike and sacred.
After the end of the Heavenly Court in the mythological era, no one has ever witnessed such a magnificent scene again.
Ninety-nine dragons.
Each one is like a continuous mountain range!
But even all of them combined couldn't match the imposing figure of the dragon-herding youth on the battle stage.
One of the dragons crawled to Yuan Qingsu's feet and used its head as a throne to lift him up into the sky. It looked down at Jiang Rui from above, like a god in the clouds judging a sinner.
"Does an ant called Mighty want to dance?" he asked.
Before Jiang Rui could answer, the Yaochi Battle Platform in everyone's sight was submerged by a golden, raging sea of waves.
Ninety-nine heavenly dragons chased after the replica of the Sun God Furnace and the Great Power, their dragon bodies cutting through the heavens and earth like peerless blades.
