Chapter 192: I've Seen the Divine Dragon of Creation, Do You Dare Call Your Dragon Blood Pure?
Chapter 192: I've Seen the Divine Dragon of Creation, Do You Dare Call Your Dragon Blood Pure?
Qi Yuan's voice was calm, with a hint of mockery.
The gods present were utterly stunned.
They wondered where Qi Yuan's confidence came from. They were, after all, within the Northern Sea Divine Eye, the headquarters of the Northern Sea Dragon Clan.
Such provocation was akin to seeking death.
Jin Jiao glared at Qi Yuan, his eyes blazing with anger. "Even if your father is a Great Venerable, today you'll stay here!"
He was truly enraged.
No matter what, he was determined to keep Qi Yuan here.
The six True Gods behind Qi Yuan faced the formidable enemy without fear.
The battle was about to commence.
At this moment, an elderly man at the Sky Striding Second Step appeared, acting as a peacemaker, "All of you are Ancient Gods, and with external enemies outside, it's best to avoid conflict and value peace."
This Sky Striding Second Step elder was a well-intentioned mediator.
Hearing this, Jin Jiao's expression softened, and he looked at Qi Yuan, "Offer this woman, and this matter will be settled."
Qi Yuan, upon hearing this, was instantly displeased. This person was putting on quite an act.
"Leave your seven Divine Energies here, and I'll spare the Northern Sea Dragon Clan," Qi Yuan said, his voice cold and stern.
If Jin Jiao's words still held some restraint, Qi Yuan's tone had none.
To an unaware observer, Qi Yuan might seem like the main antagonist.
Beside him, Ye Liuyun's face was filled with anxiety, constantly sending a mental message, "Brother Qi, you're being impulsive. Let's quickly make our escape."
Hearing this, Qi Yuan was unconcerned, and mentally replied, "Is he a Solar Deity? If not, wouldn't I lose face by running away?"
The Dusk Venerable, at this moment, also sent a mental message, "Origin Heavenly King, if this is not feasible, I can step in and help you stop this Jin Jiao."
The Dusk Venerable was determined to offend the Northern Sea Dragon Clan.
But thinking of the twenty-one Legendaries, the Origin Heavenly King, he felt that offending the Northern Sea Dragon Clan was not a big deal.
It could be said that if he spread this news, half of the Ancient Gods present would be willing to help Qi Yuan.
He also believed that this was the Origin Heavenly King's confidence.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but it's not necessary for now," Qi Yuan replied.
Facing Jin Jiao, he was neither anxious nor afraid.
The Jade Flower Palace Master's expression turned grim. She wanted to stop them, but with both sides eager for battle, she couldn't prevent it.
In the end, she could only sigh, "If you must fight, do it in the Ancient Battlefield and don't damage the waters."
Before the Evil Deity descended upon this realm, when True Gods fought, they would usually do so in the Ancient Battlefield to avoid harming mortals.
But with the Evil Deity's arrival, they no longer cared about such niceties and didn't mind killing mortals or destroying the terrain.
"Good!" Jin Jiao clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with anger.
Qi Yuan also nodded, "Let's go."
The group headed towards the Ancient Battlefield in a grand manner.
The Ancient Gods on the field had mixed thoughts.
The Jade Flower Palace Master felt helpless. It seemed like another bleak outcome for the Hundred Flowers Festival.
The Jade Flower Venerable's awakening seemed distant, and the Jade Flower Palace's future appeared bleak.
Soon, the group arrived at the Ancient Battlefield.
The Ancient Battlefield's realm was incredibly stable, even more so than the Mortal Heart World.
This was unlike the Vast Wave World's empty void.
Qi Yuan arrived at the Ancient Battlefield, his eyes filled with surprise.
【The Ancient Battlefield, the origin of the Mortal Heart World, where the ancient gods and demons emerged from chaos.】
Was the Ancient Battlefield the origin of the Mortal Heart World?
This slightly surprised Qi Yuan.
At this time, the Ancient Gods in the distance had various expressions.
"The Origin Heavenly King is too much of a playboy."
"A playboy is a playboy."
"Sigh, we Ancient Gods are already in decline, why add internal strife?"
"One Sky Striding Second Step, six Sky Striding First Step Perfect; six Sky Striding First Step Early Stage. How can they win?"
The Ancient Gods on the field didn't think highly of Qi Yuan's chances.
After all, the gap was too wide.
The Dusk Venerable also kept a close eye on the distance, ready to intervene at any sign of trouble to save the Origin Heavenly King.
Helping in dire need was better than adding to the advantage.
At this moment, Jin Jiao entered the Ancient Battlefield, and his patience finally snapped.
"You humiliated me in the Jade Flower Palace, and for that, you'll die!"
With Jin Jiao's shout, the six True Gods behind him immediately revealed their true forms.
Instantly, six massive dragon-like serpents soared into the clouds, their fangs bared, intertwining in a powerful display of True God might.
"As the leader of the water races, we are the natural rulers of the Northern Sea. Killing you is not worthy of my own hands!" Jin Jiao roared, his confidence soaring.
As he spoke, the enormous serpents in the air fixed their gaze on Qi Yuan, their lantern-like eyes staring at him with an eerie intensity.
Qi Yuan remained unfazed, "I may not have Nezha, but I have the Dragon Subduing Arhat."
After Qi Yuan's words, he glanced at Zhao Zun, "Aren't you hungry? Today, I'll allow it, you can break your vegetarian vows and eat meat."
The deity Zhao Zun was observing was the Dragon Subduing Arhat.
In certain mythical legends, Ji Gong was said to be the reincarnation of the Dragon Subduing Arhat, so in a sense, breaking his vegetarian vows was not truly breaking them.
Hearing this, Zhao Zun stepped forward, his body like a copper statue, causing the ground to tremble.
Seeing this, the other Ancient Gods' expressions turned peculiar.
"Purple Mansion Perfected?"
"A Purple Mansion Perfected fighting a True God, even the Gluttony Saintess couldn't do it!"
"Is this suicide?"
The True Gods were puzzled. Why, with six True Gods present, was a Purple Mansion Perfected needed to fight?
(End)
Ye Liuyun stood amidst the crowd, and upon seeing Zhao Zun, who did not conceal his aura, an inexplicable fear arose within him for reasons unknown.
However, with his strength still intact, the fear wasn't overwhelming.
Jin Jiao also felt a similar sensation, but with his formidable power, he was brimming with confidence.
"How dare a mere Purple Mansion challenge us!"
Just then, a voice echoed through the air.
"Brother, I'll assist you!" Kai Xin Luohan spoke up.
He was one of the only two True Deities among the Arhats.
"Long Eyebrow will join as well," Chang Mei Luohan added.
The two placed their hands on Zhao Zun's body, and divine energy surged into him.
Instantly, within Zhao Zun's body, a false divine aperture was born.
The Ancient Deities witnessing this scene were all moved.
"What kind of technique is this?"
"How can one lend their power to others?"
"How can the Purple Mansion body withstand divine energy?"
These Ancient Deities were perplexed, as today's events surpassed their understanding.
However, even with the assistance of two True Deities, Zhao Zun's strength still fell short compared to Jin Jiao and his companions.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun's fear intensified as he observed Zhao Zun.
He couldn't comprehend why he felt fear towards a stranger, especially one who seemed weaker than himself.
Even Jin Jiao's expression turned grim, as an inexplicable fear crept into his heart.
"What are you?!" Jin Jiao glared at Zhao Zun, his anger palpable. "Regardless of what you are, die!"
The six enormous serpent dragons writhed, and those afflicted with megalophobia would have been terrified, unable to open their eyes.
Zhao Zun took a step forward, his gaze fixed on the dragon clan, his voice resonating with authority.
"Sky God Dragon!"
Behind Zhao Zun, a phantom of a divine dragon appeared abruptly.
This divine dragon, its length unknown, was pure gold in color and had five claws.
The phantom of the divine dragon, however, was a lifeless corpse, its scales shattered and its body torn apart.
Ye Liuyun stared at the phantom of the divine dragon, his heart pounding with shock: "Great Venerable, no, it's the True Dragon of Sky Treading Seven Steps!"
In the Mundane Heart World, the dragon clan wasn't particularly powerful, even during ancient times, and Great Venerables numbered less than twenty.
The strongest among them was the Dragon Ancestor of Sky Treading Six Steps! Now, here before them was the mangled remains of a True Dragon of Sky Treading Seven Steps, leaving Ye Liuyun in awe and fear.
The other Ancient Deities widened their eyes, equally stunned.
They couldn't identify the dragon as the one from Sky Treading Seven Steps, but they knew this True Dragon was undoubtedly formidable.
Jin Jiao clenched his teeth, "Impossible!"
Zhao Zun took another step forward.
"Earthly Serpent Dragon, Human Poison Dragon!"
Instantly, two more terrifying dragon phantoms appeared, both broken and lifeless, dead beyond recognition.
Behind these terrifying dragon phantoms, countless dragon bodies were visible.
Some dragons had their livers extracted, while others had their sinews severed.
It was clear that these dragons had all been subdued by the True Deity that Zhao Zun had visualized.
Zhao Zun gazed at the six serpent dragons, his eyes flashing with golden light.
"When summoned, they must obey; when called, they must come; when used, they must manifest!"
"I, under the Heavenly Sovereign's decree, have come to subdue the dragons!"
As Zhao Zun spoke, his body radiated golden light, and boundless Buddha light enveloped him.
He seemed to embody an invincible war deity.
He charged towards the six serpent dragons.
The once-mighty six serpent dragons now trembled like mice before a cat, devoid of any fighting spirit.
"Kill!"
Zhao Zun tore one of the serpent dragons in half with a powerful rip, and it let out a terrifying roar.
Luohan's fist struck, shattering the dragon's divine aperture.
Jin Jiao's body trembled, and he roared, "Kill!"
The remaining serpent dragons, despite their fear, charged towards Zhao Zun.
"Under the Dragon Subduing Curse, even the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon must submit. You are all but mudskippers!"
Zhao Zun bellowed and rushed towards the remaining dragons.
These dragons were no match for Zhao Zun, even if they had opened ten more divine apertures than him.
However, under the suppression of the Dragon Subduing Curse, they couldn't compare to Zhao Zun.
Within a few breaths, all six serpent dragons were torn apart by Zhao Zun.
The ground was covered in endless blood, and the broken dragon bodies stretched across the sky, a pitiful sight.
In Zhao Zun's phantom, six more serpent dragons appeared, taking their place at the end.
Jin Jiao's body was covered in dragon blood, obscuring his eyes.
"You... monster, die!"
"I, at Sky Treading Second Step, with pure dragon blood, fear you not!"
As Jin Jiao roared, he transformed into a dragon and charged towards Zhao Zun.
His aura was at least ten times stronger than that of the six serpent dragons.
Zhao Zun faced Jin Jiao, his battle intent soaring: "I've seen the Opening Heaven Dragon, and yet you, a mere mudskipper, dare to claim purity?"
Zhao Zun's hand grabbed Jin Jiao's waist, lifting him off the ground.
Jin Jiao struggled within Zhao Zun's embrace, divine energy surging from him.
But he couldn't break free.
Under the Dragon Subduing Curse, Zhao Zun held the advantage against the dragon clan.
"Mere serpent dragons, mere food for the Immortals, and yet you dare to be so arrogant with your dragon liver and marrow?"
Zhao Zun's hand plunged into Jin Jiao's body, reaching into his dragon liver.
With a swift grab, he extracted the dragon liver.
Jin Jiao let out a painful roar.
Zhao Zun scoffed, "The lowest grade of dragon liver, unfit even for a feast."
"With a mighty force, he grabbed the Golden Serpent's head and smashed it into the ground."
Instantly, the Golden Serpent's head exploded.
The Divine Apertures within its body were also crushed one by one by Zhao Zun.
In the face of the Dragon Subduing Curse, the Golden Serpent had no power to resist.
After all, he was fighting against the foundation of a terrifying world with his own strength.
As Zhao Zun tore the Golden Serpent apart, his entire body was covered in blood and the remains of dragon flesh.
The other Ancient Deities looked at him, their expressions filled with awe and an inexplicable sense of fear.
They couldn't comprehend the events that had just transpired.
At this moment, Zhao Zun swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes cold and ruthless.
"My Dharma name is bestowed by the Heavenly Venerable."
"I am the Dragon Subduing Arhat!"
His voice rumbled, sweeping across the four directions.
The aura around Zhao Zun also continuously dropped at this moment, transforming into the Purple Mansion.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked.
Ye Liuyun widened his eyes, "Dragon Subduing Arhat!"
Huanghun Venerable was also stunned, "To dare to take the name of Dragon Subduing, this deity... is absolutely terrifying!"
After all, taking the name of Dragon Subduing meant offending all the dragons in the world.
Although the dragons in the Mundane Heart World weren't the most elite, they weren't easily humiliated by a Great Venerable.
"Who exactly was the Dragon Subduing Arhat in ancient times?"
The crowd was stunned, their minds filled with bewilderment.
Especially when the Dragon Subduing Arhat used the Dragon Subduing Curse, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon that appeared behind him was a True Dragon of the Sky Striding Seventh Step.
They couldn't sense the specific strength within it.
But Ye Liuyun, being a dragon himself, knew that it was a Sky-Striding Seventh Step Dragon! Even the Dragon Ancestors were only at the Sky-Striding Sixth Step, and yet this Dragon had died at the hands of the Dragon Subduing Arhat. The shock in his heart was indescribable.
Especially when he heard that the Dragon Subduing Arhat had once fought against the Ying Dragon of the Opening Heaven and the Dragon Liver that had become food for the Immortals, his heart was filled with fear.
Were these things real?
It sounded... too terrifying.
As he looked at the Dragon Subduing Arhat, a deep sense of fear arose within him.
Regarding Qi Yuan, he felt an even deeper sense of awe.
He remembered what Qi Yuan had said about the Azure Dragon and the Candle Dragon.
Could it be... that these weren't just ordinary dragons?
Was he, himself, an ordinary dragon?
In the shadow behind the Dragon Subduing Arhat, he saw numerous True Dragons whose bloodlines were even more terrifying than his own.
"This matter must be reported to the Old Ancestor. It's absolutely crucial."
At this moment, the Ancient Deities were still immersed in the aftermath of the battle.
Qi Yuan looked at the dragon liver in Zhao Zun's hand with disdain, "I won't eat a liver that has transformed into a human. It's not something good, just throw it away."
Zhao Zun had slaughtered seven Golden Serpents, and Qi Yuan had gained seven Divine Spirit Energies.
It could be said that this was his most profitable gain since coming to this realm.
He felt a bit happy.
These dragons were all good people.
Thinking of something, he looked at the Ancient Deities, "Who else among you has designs on my goddaughter? Speak up!"
Hearing this, the Ancient Deities all took a step back, feeling perplexed, "We dare not."
Qi Qi heard these words, and her heart filled with joy.
She felt that her foster father was standing up for her.
Her heart was filled with sweetness. Ever since the Heavenly Capital had collapsed, her clan had perished, and this was the first time she had encountered someone who treated her so well.
Dominating and with formidable strength.
Of course, Qi Yuan was unaware of his goddaughter's thoughts, and he felt a bit disappointed.
Attending the Hundred Flowers Festival, he hadn't used his mocking face much. His goddaughter had grown up, and she was indeed useful, but he had only used her once.
"We've killed everyone, let's return to the Hundred Flowers Festival."
After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he left with the Four Great Heavenly Kings and the Eighteen Arhats.
The Ancient Deities watched Zhao Zun's departing figure, their hearts filled with awe.
They were also extremely curious about Qi Yuan's identity.
Who exactly was this deity from ancient times?
Upon returning to the Hundred Flowers Festival, the crowd's hearts remained shaken for a long time.
Regarding the Hundred Flowers Festival, everyone's thoughts were now elsewhere.
"The Origin Heavenly Venerable, this place is occupied by the Northern Sea Dragon Clan. You've killed the Golden Serpent, so it's best to leave quickly." The Jade Flower Palace Master advised.
The middle-aged woman beside her also looked at Qi Yuan with a peculiar expression.
Originally, she had given face to her friend, so she had brought Qi Yuan along.
She never expected that he wasn't just a village-level guardian deity but a true overlord.
"The Hundred Flowers Festival isn't over yet, how can I leave?" Qi Yuan naturally wasn't in a hurry to depart.
Currently, seven members of the Northern Sea Dragon Clan had been killed.
The remaining dragons wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
Even if they did, Qi Yuan wasn't afraid.
"I was thinking, could I obtain the Ultimate Treasure? Alas, I have too many subordinates, all waiting to consume the Ultimate Treasure to ascend to the True Deity realm." Qi Yuan looked at the Eighteen Arhats with helplessness.
Aside from the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Subduing Arhats, and the two who had ascended to the True Deity realm, the rest lacked the Ultimate Treasure to ascend.
Seeing this, the Jade Flower Palace Master had nothing more to say and didn't persuade him further.
At this moment, half of the Hundred Flowers Festival had already passed.
Many people also began to work hard to continue awakening the flower bouquets.
However, the results were poor.
One-third of the flowers here hadn't bloomed yet.
Qi Yuan stood aside, feeling a bit bored.
"Sigh, being too handsome is not good. If I had a mocking face, there would definitely be people who can't bear to look at me, mocking me, and then I could use Divine Observation to awaken the flower bouquets." Qi Yuan sighed.
Ye Liuyun heard this and was speechless.
He really wanted to say, who would dare to mock you, someone so handsome!
"Under the insults and doubts of the crowd, I'll use Divine Observation and shock everyone. It'll be very interesting." Qi Yuan spoke casually.
As he spoke, he kept giving signals to the distant Huanghun Venerable.
