BXBX NOVEL Chapter 281: North Sea Dragon Prince, Three Heroes Battle Shaoxuan
Chapter 281: North Sea Dragon Prince, Three Heroes Battle Shaoxuan
The black dragon chariot slowly rolled into the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
The chariot was rectangular in shape, and there was a mysterious array formation on all four sides.
The vague image of a Golden Crow swirled around the chariot, exuding a ferocious vibe.
Even more extraordinary was the fact that six Black Flood Dragons drew this golden chariot.
Every single Flood Dragon had a terrifyingly high cultivation level. Enough to go against a human Nascent Soul cultivator.
The two leading Black Flood Dragons even had two horns at the top of their heads. They could already be considered true Black Dragons!
Their dragon bloodline was much purer than the other four Flood Dragons, and their cultivation level was equivalent to a peak Nascent Soul cultivator!
Six Black Flood Dragons were pulling a chariot!
Such a majestic sight. This was something that even a Sacred Ground Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t possess.
Two figures were standing atop the chariot. One of them was the Purple Mansion Saint, Qi Shaoxuan, who was dressed in Black Dragon Armor and holding a Heaven’s Halberd.
Meanwhile, the other was a young boy, who looked to be only about five or six years of age.
The small boy had pristine features and looked very cute. One couldn’t help feeling the urge to pinch his chubby cheeks.
It was worth mentioning that a pair of little black dragon horns were growing from the top of his head.
Those little horns had a soft black sheen to them and exuded the faint aura of a formidable practitioner. It was rather spine-chilling.
No one dared to underestimate this little boy just because of his young age. In some ways, his status surpassed that of Qi Shaoxuan.
This was because he was Ao Wu, the Seventh Dragon Prince from the North Sea Black Dragon Island.
...
Don’t think that Ao Wu’s status was beneath that of a Sacred Ground Saint just because he was the seventh prince.
It was the complete opposite. The inheritance laws of the demon race were totally different from the human sacred grounds. They did not choose one Saint every 100 years.
The purer the bloodline of a demon and the higher his cultivation levels, the more difficult it would be for them to have descendants. Sometimes, they only managed to have one offspring after trying hard for several hundred years.
Ao Wu’s father was the Black Dragon Island’s Black Dragon King of his generation. Going by cultivation levels, he was the absolute top-dog across all five regions.
Even after putting in much effort for 5,000 years, he had only managed to bear seven offspring. Ao Wu was the youngest.
By then, the Black Dragon King was already quite advanced in his years.
And among the seven offspring, Ao Wu possessed the purest Black Dragon bloodline. His talents were mind-blowing.
Among all the dragon prodigies across the North Sea Black Dragon Island over the past 10,000 years, Ao Wu’s bloodline was in the top five in terms of purity. He was expected to do great things when he came of age.
Ao Wu just had to put in a bit of effort, and he could easily attain the Sage stage. Meanwhile, his potential battle prowess was already far beyond that of a normal Sage.
In other words, he had the traits of a Dragon Emperor!
Seventh Dragon Prince Ao Wu was considered the most outstanding among his same-generation prodigies across the five regions.
His talents, status, and background were all comparable to Qi Shaoxuan’s.
And if one looked at their lineage, his was even more formidable than Qi Shaoxuan’s!
Let’s not even talk about his Dragon King father. Whoever dared to bully Ao Wu, his six dragon siblings alone were enough to beat anyone to a pulp.
After all, as the North Sea’s rulers, the Black Dragons’ power was well-known. Quite a number of the four princes and three princesses were already at the Sage stage.
As the darling baby of his family, Ao Wu just had to say the word, and his siblings would rush to his support.
Even Qi Shaoxuan’s black dragon chariot had been a gift from the Dragon Crown Prince to Ao Wu.
It was just that Ao Wu was often too lazy to go out, so he had lent it to Qi Shaoxuan.
...
Qi Shaoxuan might have astounding providence, but his biggest fortuitous opportunity was not finding the Nirvana Immortal Imperial Sutra in a spirit ore.
It was his chance meeting with the Seventh Dragon Prince, Ao Wu, when he had been tagging along with his master to the North Sea in search of spirit herbs. That meeting had led to them becoming great friends.
After the two of them had signed the Dragon God contract, Qi Shaoxuan had gained the Black Dragon Island’s backing. The benefits from their support were endless.
If not for that, as talented as Qi Shaoxuan was, he would not have been able to cultivate to the Golden Core 10th Refinement stage so easily.
He would have had to spend several more years refining and stabilizing his Golden Core before succeeding.
After all, just relying on the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground alone was not enough.
“Brother Shaoxuan, the young prodigies in your Eastern Wilderness are all so weak! Are there no stronger ones?”
Seventh Dragon Prince Ao Wu stretched lazily on the black dragon chariot. “It’s so boring seeing you thrash everyone all the time.”
Although Ao Wu looked like he was only five or six years old, the Dragon race grew at a slower pace than humans. In reality, he was about the same age as Qi Shaoxuan.
If one counted the time he had spent in his egg, Ao Wu was actually even older than Qi Shaoxuan.
Of course, the Dragon race’s mental development was also slower than humans. As a result, Qi Shaoxuan was always the one taking care of Ao Wu.
Qi Shaoxuan stroked Ao Wu’s head and smiled. “There are indeed no prodigies from my generation in the Eastern Wilderness who can beat me. At the very most, some might be able to hold on to up to 12 of my moves.
“Today, after I beat Divine Firmament’s four top prodigies, I can turn my attention to Middle Ground. I heard that there are quite a number of great talents from my generation in Middle Ground.
“I hope that they won’t be too weak and can give me some pressure and excitement.”
With his Heaven’s Halberd in hand, Qi Shaoxuan’s face was full of absolute confidence. He could already feel multiple divine consciousnesses focusing on him, and he was enjoying the attention.
“I am here now to challenge the four of you. Shen Tian, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi. Where are you?”
Qi Shaoxuan started the black dragon chariot with that battle cry and drove toward the Divine Firmament Saint Mountain.
...
Meanwhile, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi were already sitting at the Saint Mountain’s bottom, counting the days.
The bad-tempered Fang Chang had blown his top after receiving Qi Shaoxuan’s declaration of battle three days ago. He had wanted to seek out Qi Shaoxuan immediately with his Fire Dragon Spear and stab him to death.
Luckily, Zhang Yunting had stopped him and helped to preserve his life.
There was a vast power difference in the levels after the Golden Core Seventh Refinement stage. Zhang Yunting was well aware of that.
Fang Chang was the only Divine Firmament prodigy with a Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage, and he could already soundly suppress Zhang Yunting and Zhang Yunxi.
Even if the siblings worked together, they would only be able to end in a draw with Fang Chang.
The Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage was an extreme level. One could not afford to let down their guard when dealing with Qi Shaoxuan, a Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage cultivator.
Although Saint Shen Tian was currently in seclusion, no one could be allowed to desecrate their sacred ground’s honor. Even if it resulted in a bloody battle, they could never let Qi Shaoxuan step upon their heads.
Over the past few days, the three of them had been sitting at the bottom of the Saint Mountain, planning their strategy and cultivating the Decalamity chapter.
The three of them already had a good store of Mixed Divine Lightning inside them, even though they knew it would be single-use energy.
But with the three of them supporting each other in this battle, they were confident of holding their own.
At that point, they could feel the aura of a powerful practitioner pressing closer and closer. The thirst for battle in the trio surged.
He’s here!
“Shen Tian, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi. Where are you!”
The voice was confident and domineering. A youth dressed in Black Dragon armor stood arrogantly upon a chariot. He peered down at the trio at the base of the Saint Mountain. He smirked before leaping off his chariot and heading straight toward them.
“Just you three? Where is Shen Tian? Is he too scared to show his face?”
Fang Chang was nearly bursting with rage at Qi Shaoxuan’s insulting words.
“Qi Shaoxuan, who do you think you are to challenge our Saint? To challenge him, you need to pass through us first!”
With that, Fang Chang’s Fire Dragon Spear seemed to come alive. It spewed out a torrent of flames, which morphed into a long fire dragon, and circled around Fang Chang’s body.
The Qilin and Crimson Phoenix avatar behind Fang Chang dazzled with lightning bolts and appeared more solid than ever before.
Apart from those two divine beasts, one could even see the fainter images of the Green Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
This was because after Fang Chang had refined the Mixed Divine Lightning, his understanding of the Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning and Metal Element White Tiger had grown to new heights.
In addition, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi had been practicing a joint array formation over the past three days and had been exchanging their own knowledge of the lightning arts.
As a result, the trio’s understanding of the lightning arts had improved tremendously.
Metal enhanced Water, Water nourished Wood, Wood fed Fire, Fire created Earth, and Earth formed Metal. It was an endless cycle.
Although Fang Chang sounded very dismissive of Qi Shaoxuan, his mind and body were both on high alert. He could feel the intense power that Qi Shaoxuan radiated. He was definitely no weakling.
Even in his first strike, he poured in all his energy and gave his all. He did not hold back at all.
...
The dazzling Mixed Divine Lightning engulfed Fang Chang as if it was a golden armor.
His speed and attack were greatly boosted with the support of the Mixed Divine Lightning. His attacks even had an additional paralyzing effect now.
Every single stab from his Fire Dragon Spear possessed pure golden lightning. The power in it was magnificent.
“Wow, Brother Shaoxuan finally met a rather strong opponent.”
Atop the black dragon chariot, the black dragon boy lazily took a stool and some snacks out of his storage ring. He laid his head against the side of the chariot and watched the battle as he snacked. He was enjoying himself very much. “I wonder how many of Brother Shaoxuan’s moves he can handle.”
Ao Wu was not the only one.
There were countless hidden spectators secretly watching the battle between Fang Chang and Qi Shaoxuan.
Many of them had placed bets on this fight. The outcome of this battle between Fang Chang and Qi Shaoxuan would determine whether they would be feasting on delicacies or eating plain porridge over the next few days.
“Purple Mansion Saint, thrash him! Take this opportunity when they haven’t joined forces yet. Beat one to the ground first before going on to the next!”
“I am so angry at that punk Fang Chang. It was already agreed that it would be one against four. Why did he just charge forward on his own? Is he looking for a beating?”
“Why hasn’t the Divine Firmament Saint appeared? Could he be scared of the Purple Mansion Saint’s grand reputation? He decided to hide behind these three prodigies and not join in the battle?”
“Quickly, look! The Purple Mansion Saint has struck! Damn, it’s the Purple Mansion Imperial Sutra’s forbidden chapter ‘Purple Aura 30,000 Miles From The East’. The Purple Mansion Saint managed to successfully practice it!”
“The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is doomed this time.”
...
Fang Chang was going all out. This afforded Qi Shaoxuan the rare feeling of being a little pressured.
As a result, he didn’t behave condescendingly toward Fang Chang like he did toward the other Saints. He also gave his best.
His boundless purple aura surged behind him, giving him a vibe of invincible magnificence. It also made his Black Dragon Armor look even more divine and dashing.
Although his aura didn’t extend to the full 30,000 miles, it was at least 30,000 feet.
Power was fleeting, but style was forever.
Winning was important, but winning with style was even more so!
Boom!
The Fire Dragon Spear and Heaven’s Halberd collided heavily. One could see a dark red dragon clashing into a black one in mid-air.
Multiple cracks appeared in the space in the vicinity of the spear and halberd. It was a hair-raising sight.
The golden lightning and purple aura from the east took up half the sky. Mighty waves of divine aura washed over the lands, making countless Nascent Soul cultivators tremble in fear.
This... Is this really the battle prowess of a Golden Core practitioner?
If it were them, they would probably be killed in an instant.
Youngsters nowadays were truly terrifying!
Feeling the golden lightning spread down his Heaven’s Halberd and its paralyzing feel, Qi Shaoxuan smiled with satisfaction.
“To be honest, Fang Chang, you are a big surprise to me.
“You are ranked third on the Golden Core List, but you are actually more powerful than the second-place Bodhisattva Kuduo.
“This is very good. Now, you are as good as I was during my Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. But it is not enough, far from enough.
“Have Zhang Yunting and Zhang Yunxi join forces with you! I have been without a worthy opponent for too long. I hope that the three of you together can give me some pressure.”
With that, the purple aura behind Qi Shaoxuan erupted.
His Heaven’s Halberd slashed across the sky and swept straight toward Fang Chang. His Fire Dragon Spear instantly shattered.
“Eight Wildernesses Halberd: Dragon Cloud Sky Shattering Attack!”
Qi Shaoxuan hollered as he swung his Heaven’s Halberd around, creating countless shadows and afterimages. As he moved, that boundless purple aura started to gather.
Soon, the boundless purple aura formed into a long purple aura divine dragon. Every single dragon scale was shiny and life-like, exuding an intense dragon aura.
Although it was not particularly big, this dragon exuded an aura that was even more spine-chilling than before.
Roar!
The dragon’s roar shook the skies as Qi Shaoxuan leaped into the air and merged with the purple aura dragon. As one, they charged mercilessly toward Fang Chang.
One move.
Two moves.
Three moves.
...
Seven moves.
Eight moves.
The purple aura dragon battled fiercely with Fang Chang, who suffered intensely every time its sharp dragon claws made contact.
Drops of pale golden blood dripped from Fang Chang’s wounds.
Boom!
The dragon gripped the Fire Dragon Spear and smashed Fang Chang straight into the ground. A massive cloud of dust rose into the air.
“First Senior Brother!”
Zhang Yunting looked very worried. According to their initial plans, Fang Chang would fight Qi Shaoxuan first to probe his powers’ depth.
If Fang Chang was truly unable to fend against Qi Shaoxuan, Zhang Yunting and Zhang Yunxi would step up to lend support. In this way, they would be able to buy more time for Shen Tian.
But they didn’t expect Qi Shaoxuan’s battle thirst to be so ignited by Fang Chang’s abilities.
They had exchanged less than 10 moves and were still in observation mode. However, Qi Shaoxuan had already turned completely serious.
Everyone knew that the Purple Aura 30,000 Miles From The East was the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground’s forbidden lethal move. Meanwhile, the Eight Wildernesses Halberd was the North Sea Black Dragon Island’s world-dominating battle technique.
No one expected Qi Shaoxuan to be so talented. He was able to merge these two battle techniques so perfectly.
He was indeed the Purple Mansion Saint. He was not easy to handle at all!
Qi Shaoxuan stood upon the head of his purple aura dragon, looking very much like a Deity King descended onto earth. It was a heart-stopping sight.
He sighed. “I admit that you are very powerful. If I wasn’t born in this generation, you would probably be the top Eastern Wilderness prodigy of your era.
“A pity that even with your prowess, it is still far from enough to beat me. Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, what are you two waiting for?
“The Divine Firmament Saint is too cowardly to show his face. But never mind. As long as you three can join forces and withstand 100 of my moves, I will take it that I have been defeated. How about that?”
At that moment, Qi Shaoxuan was arrogant and domineering, brilliant and mighty, invincible, and without a foe.
...
“Yunxi, we cannot wait any longer. You keep left while I will keep right. We will flank First Senior Brother.”
An ancient green sword flew out from behind Zhang Yunting. It glinted like dewdrops in the autumn.
He gazed worriedly toward the dust cloud, which was mired with a purple aura and golden light. “I hope First Senior Brother is fine.”
If Fang Chang was already grievously injured and could no longer fight, they would be in deep trouble now.
“No need to interfere. I am not defeated yet!”
Fang Chang’s deep voice rang out from beneath the purple aura dragon.
Following that, that dragon claw, which was firmly pressed onto the ground, was forcibly propped up.
A figure shrouded in golden lightning reappeared in front of everyone. His aura was immeasurably intense.
“Too cowardly to show his face? Who are you to insult our Saint’s name?”
Fang Chang’s cold laugh echoed through the skies. “Our Saint is not here because you are not good enough to challenge him!
“Number One Golden Core in the Eastern Wilderness? Potential to be a Thearch? You are just mediocre. See how I will destroy you today!”
At that, Fang Chang stepped out, and his muscular body increased in size. “Giant Spirit True Body!”
Boom!
The purple aura dragon was sent flying into the air as Fang Chang straightened his body.
Fang Chang’s eight feet tall body suddenly enlarged as waves of Mixed Divine Lightning surged out of his body, forming a 20-over feet tall giant golden armored warrior god.
After reaching out his right hand, countless lightning swirled around his Fire Dragon Spear to form a dozen-over feet long spear.
Fang Chang’s current aura was more than double its previous power.
He glared at Qi Shaoxuan. “Our Saint has been acknowledged by the God of War Pagoda Spirit as the top prodigy over the past 10,000 years. Number one in talent, number one in battle prowess.
“Our Saint has a vast array of talents, surpassing even Huang Shi in his youth. Who are you to challenge him?
“Today, I will show you what I learned from the God of War Pagoda!”
Fang Chang charged toward Qi Shaoxuan with his spear in hand. Golden lightning crackled all around, shattering the surrounding space.
He had more or less let down all defenses and didn’t care about how much energy and Mixed Divine Lightning he was expending now. He was going all-or-nothing.
For a moment there, he was able to fight toe-to-toe with that purple aura dragon.
Zhang Yunting felt a little sour upon looking at Fang Chang’s crazed manner.
He nudged Zhang Yunxi’s shoulder. “Hey, Yunxi. I heard that father wants to betroth you to Junior Brother Shen Tian.”
Zhang Yunxi replied mildly, “What are you trying to say?”
Zhang Yunting was exasperated. “I am just curious. Hasn’t First Senior Brother always held a grudge against the Saint? Why is he suddenly so ardent toward him now?
“You didn’t even get mad when Qi Shaoxuan insulted the Saint. Why is First Senior Brother so angry?”
“Which one of you is actually betrothed to the Saint!?”
Zhang Yunxi maintained her neutral expression. “First Senior Brother owes his life to Junior Brother. First Senior Brother might not look like much, but he is not the sort who forgets a good deed.
“As for why am I not mad?” Zhang Yunxi took out an Image Recording Crystal and handed it to Zhang Yunting. “I already recorded Qi Shaoxuan’s words and will give it to Junior Brother after he comes out of seclusion.
“The more arrogant Qi Shaoxuan is now, the more badly he will be beaten when Junior Brother comes out.”
Zhang Yunting took the Image Recording Crystal and nodded. “Yunxi, you are calmer than before now. Very good. But why are you giving me this Image Recording Crystal?”
Water vapor in the air froze and drifted down as frost. Zhang Yunxi turned languidly toward the battle scene. “Because I am going to fight now.”
Countless Mixed Divine Lightning crackled around Zhang Yunxi as a towering white lightning tiger formed.
It was made of golden Mixed Divine Lightning, and its killer aura froze all the surrounding water vapor. A murderous air permeated the entire area.
You dare to insult Junior Brother? You are asking for it!
Roar!
The roar of the White Tiger echoed through the lands.
Fang Chang’s giant warrior shoved the purple dragon out of the battle circle with one strike of his spear.
He could feel Zhang Yunxi approaching the battle arena. He snorted. “This is a battle between men. Junior Sister, stand down.”
The white lightning tiger gazed mildly at Fang Chang. Her clear feminine voice was void of all emotion. “I didn’t hear you clearly. Repeat yourself.”
The Giant Spirit True Body shuddered and cowered. “Ahem. Junior Sister, I... I was just saying that I will take the left, you take the right. Smash him!”
...
Five Elements could reinforce each other and neutralize at the same time too. All of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s techniques originated from the Five Elements Divine Lightning.
Zhang Yunxi was only a peak Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage and yet to break into the Ninth. As a result, she was weaker than Fang Chang.
But Fang Chang majored in fire and earth lightning. Fire created earth, and earth formed metal. Her battle prowess was given a great boost when she joined forces with Fang Chang.
Add to that her raging anger against Qi Shaoxuan, Zhang Yunxi’s current battle prowess had shot beyond her normal range now.
The two of them were truly formidable together. They completely suppressed Qi Shaoxuan’s purple aura dragon.
Qi Shaoxuan felt somewhat despondent on the sudden increase in pressure.
He couldn’t understand how things suddenly took such a major turn. Why had Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi suddenly gone crazy just because he had insulted Shen Tian?
The individual battle prowess of both of them had already surpassed Bodhisattva Kuduo, who was ranked second on the Golden Core List.
And they were joining forces and going all out in this fight. Even Qi Shaoxuan was feeling a little apprehensive.
Impulsive people feared violent people. Violent people feared those who had no care for their own lives. These two were fighting just too ferociously.
Come on, seriously!?
It’s not like I dug up your ancestor’s grave? Why are you two suddenly so mad!?
But no matter how vexed he felt, no matter how difficult the fight was—as the most arrogant Saint, he had to keep up his cocky front.
“This is so much fun. The battle prowess of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground Saintess has also surpassed my expectations.
“It’s been a long time since my blood has surged like this. Can you be even stronger?
“If this is all you got, it’s not enough. Far from enough!”
Qi Shaoxuan quietly ignited the Dharmic powers inside his body, and the claws of the purple aura dragon magnified and shot out at Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi, sending them flying through the air.
It looked majestic and indomitable.
A pity that this outburst was for nothing. This was because the results he achieved were completely not worth the amount of energy he expended.
Nonetheless, since he uttered those cocky words, he had to follow up with an impressive display. This was something he had to do to set the stage.
Didn’t you see the popcorn-eating spectators surrounding them? How their eyes were already sparkling with adoration?
If he could secure this battle and defeat Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi, he would win over the entire Eastern Wilderness.
Of course, Qi Shaoxuan had already wisely given up his earlier plan to fight “one against four”. The enemy was more difficult to handle than he expected.
Don’t talk about “one against four”. He was praying now that Zhang Yunting wouldn’t join the fight.
Although “one against two” was not as impressive as “one against three”, the precondition was that he had to win.
As long as Qi Shaoxuan won this “one against two” battle, he could be as cocky as he wanted.
And looking at the current situation, he just had to bear on until Fang Chang exhausted his own powers. He would definitely win then.
Nonetheless, Qi Shaoxuan’s original challenge was to go against four. In the end, he might not even be able to hold his own against three.
It was humiliating.
...
Now that everyone could see they were evenly matched, Zhang Yunting wouldn’t be so shameless as to join the fight now, right? He was the biological son of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, after all!
As Qi Shaoxuan fought toe-to-toe with the raging Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi, he also kept an eye out for Zhang Yunting.
He realized he was wrong.
Master was correct. The Zhang family is truly shameless!
Zhang Yunting stepped forward, but his face was full of respect.
“The Purple Mansion Saint is indeed very powerful. I am going to play a song for you!”
At that, Zhang Yunting sat down at the base of the Saint Mountain and propped his guqin across his knee. He started to play.
A powerful tune rang out from the base of the Saint Mountain, like the roar of dragons and tigers, the shrill cries of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, the clashing sounds of tens of thousands of soldiers in battle.
The Spirit Qi in the surroundings surged as the guqin played.
Invincible waves of wood-elemental lightning Spirit Qi surged toward the battle arena and swirled around Fang Chang.
Fang Chang’s grand technique, the Giant Spirit True Body, was tremendous pressure on Qi Shaoxuan in battle. But everyone knew that no one could hold this kind of grand technique for long.
In general, one could hold a Giant Spirit True Body for at most three minutes.
As long as Qi Shaoxuan could endure those three minutes, he would win.
However, Qi Shaoxuan didn’t expect Zhang Yunting to be so shameless.
He was using the sound of his guqin to add buffs to Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi. Not only was he replenishing their energy, but he was also enhancing their attacks and defenses.
This is as good as you directly joining the fight!
At least if you just directly join the fight, everyone would see that I am fighting against three, and not just two.
So what if everyone can see that Zhang Yunting is giving support? Gossip has never been reasonable!
Haha, don’t forget that Qi Shaoxuan had been humiliating countless prodigies across the Eastern Wilderness as he challenged all the sacred grounds.
Now that Qi Shaoxuan was at the losing end, no one would be kind in their assessment of him.
Headlines like “The Purple Mansion Saint issues ‘one against four’ challenge but was defeated by only two”, and “The Purple Mansion Saint already defeated before the Divine Firmament Saint appeared” were already forming in the spectators’ minds.
The corners of Qi Shaoxuan’s lips twitched as he listened to the guqin’s powerful sound.
He looks like such a quiet, reserved guy. How is he able to play with such passion?
Everyone always says that the Divine Firmament Second Senior Brother Zhang Yunting is elegant and congenial. A true gracious gentleman. I will be a fool to believe that!
...
The purple aura dragon was continuously being ravaged by the spear and tiger claws. It was a savage battle. One nearly couldn’t bear to watch.
Qi Shaoxuan’s face turned pale. He gazed toward the black dragon chariot. “Ao Wu, help me.”
The dragon-horned boy grinned. “Brother Shaoxuan, your face looks swollen!”
Didn’t he just say that there was no one worth fighting in the whole Eastern Wilderness? That he had to fight four at once? In the end, he was being thrashed by Divine Firmament’s prodigies.
If Qi Shaoxuan hadn’t made those cocky statements earlier, he would have still retained his dignity even if he lost. A pity he was just too arrogant and loud-mouthed.
He had claimed that he wanted to fight against four, but his dignity was now being smashed.
This turn of events was rather harsh.
Qi Shaoxuan was incensed by Ao Wu’s mockery. “No more of your favorite snacks at night.”
Argh!
The youngster with the dragon horns transformed.
An immense black divine dragon roared, its aura almost as tremendous as Fang Chang’s.
More importantly, the moment Qi Shaoxuan stood on top of that black dragon head, their auras quickly merged and enhanced each other’s.
“Dragon Knight and Dragon become one. To share both honor and disgrace.”
Qi Shaoxuan felt slightly abashed at being forced to partner up with Ao Wu. But he had to live up to his grand claims.
His Heaven’s Halberd grew even longer under the reinforcements of the dragon energy. “Congratulations, you managed to make me take this seriously.”
This was a two-vs-two fight. Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi were bubbling with a thirst for battle. Meanwhile, Zhang Yunting gave a slight frown.
He could feel that Qi Shaoxuan’s battle prowess had more than doubled after Ao Wu joined him.
The legendary Dragon Knight. The invincible Dragon Knight.
If the Saint didn’t appear now, it would be very difficult for them to hold off Qi Shaoxuan.
The honor of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was in danger!
...
Quite a number of people had the same thoughts. The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground elders were all watching the Saint Mountain.
At that moment, the protective array around the Saint Mountain gradually dissipated.
Faint lightning streaked through the thick clouds above the Saint Mountain.
More importantly, there was a Heavenly Dao intention in those clouds.
It was the Heavenly Tribulation. The Heavenly Tribulation would only appear when a cultivator was becoming a Sage or when a treasure was being formed.
For a moment, all the cultivators were dumbstruck.
Everyone knew that the Saint Mountain was where the Divine Firmament Saint lived. And he was currently there in seclusion.
Now that the protective array was being dispelled and the Heavenly Tribulation clouds appeared, what the hell was happening? Was someone going to undergo the tribulation to become a Sage?
Song Fugui muttered to himself. “Don’t tell me Saint Shen Tian is going to become a Sage?”
Liu Taiyi’s eyes lit up. He quickly took out a jade slip and started to make furious records.
If this was true, it would be earth-shattering news!
After all, Saint Shen Tian was just too young. It would be mind-blowing if he really became a Sage now.
Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu were also looking at the Saint Mountain with serious expressions from within the battle arena.
That was especially so for Seventh Dragon Prince Ao Wu. His young body trembled.
A sudden notion rose in his heart...
It was the desire to kneel down and kowtow!
