Chapter 430: The Heavenly Poison Ascending Dragon Stake, the Netherworld's Omnipresence, and the Old Dragon God's Betrayal (Part 1)
Crack! Crack!
In the sky above, thick black clouds gathered, filled with countless intertwining lightning bolts that crackled and roared.
Vague hints of terrifying green wind surged within the clouds, howling and swirling, each gust feeling like a thousand knives slicing through the air, causing souls to tremble and fear annihilation.
This was the calamity wind, one of the three disasters—the Divine Annihilating Wind Tribulation—capable of exerting immense influence on cultivators' souls and easily eradicating them.
The raging wind howled, causing every hair on one's body to stand on end, signaling an impending disaster.
Snowflakes fell, but before they could reach the ground, they were shattered into droplets by a powerful force, evaporating into mist, shrouding the entire world in a hazy fog.
A feather fan swayed gently, and a crane robe fluttered in the wind.
Xie Yunsen emerged from the tent, his eyes blazing with battle intent, burning like flames.
"We can't delay any longer, Elder Dragon God. You're right, it's time to fight... We can't wait any longer." Xie Yunsen spoke with a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the Old Dragon God's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, but it quickly turned into understanding. Indeed, the Great Jing's National Tutor was acting at the right moment. If they didn't launch the attack now, the Old Dragon God would question the tutor's capabilities.
The situation was now reasonable. Lu Taibai was about to ascend to the Divine Tribulation realm, a calamity for the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Without Lu Taibai, a powerful half-step Tribulation Deity, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect would lose a crucial combat strength, a significant disadvantage.
Lu Taibai's failure to break through the tribulation meant he couldn't aid the sect, effectively losing a powerful general.
If they seized this opportunity, they might even defeat the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, breach their defenses, and achieve their goal of conquering the sect.
The Old Dragon God eagerly awaited this day, as conquering the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect would grant his Dragon Deity lineage a new ancestral land, allowing them to leave Dragon Island and escape the pressures from all sides. They wouldn't have to worry about the lineage being eradicated after his death.
This generation had produced a rare Dragon Deity Prince, a young talent the Old Dragon God held high hopes for. However, the Dragon Deity Prince wasn't a true Tribulation Deity, not even close. How could he protect the Dragon Deity lineage?
The Old Dragon God sighed softly. Even with his efforts, he could barely lead the Dragon Deity lineage on Dragon Island in the East Sea. His cultivation and strength paled in comparison to the previous Dragon Deity and the lineage's most glorious era.
During the lineage's peak, there were five Dragon Deity cultivators, and the Dragon Emperor had even reached the Three Disasters realm!
Unfortunately, time was like an emotionless blade, slashing away all glory.
Many Dragon Deities sought to explore the Mysterious Pass and challenge the Earthly Pass, but they all disappeared without a trace.
No matter how grand and unparalleled, all would eventually weaken in the face of time.
The Dragon Deity lineage's past glory was irretrievable.
The Old Dragon God now only wished to preserve the lineage's heritage and continue its legacy.
He exhaled.
With his hands behind his back, the Old Dragon God looked at Xie Yunsen, who had agreed to the campaign, and his eyes softened.
"The Divine Annihilating Wind Tribulation is one of the three disasters. Lu Taibai's ambition is immense; he aims to obtain the Three Disasters Dao position and ascend with it."
The Old Dragon God raised his head and glanced at the calamity wind.
Then, he looked at Gu Qianchi, "If Lu Taibai truly ascends, even if he's just at the beginning, his Dao position, being one of the Three Disasters, will exert positional pressure. Gu Qianchi might not be able to defeat Lu Taibai..."
"Therefore, we must act quickly. If we wait for Lu Taibai to successfully ascend, breaking the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect will become difficult."
As the Old Dragon God's words fell, he let out a long howl, transforming into a terrifying dragon's roar. His terrifying blood essence surged like a blood-red pillar, shooting into the sky and shaking the dark clouds, causing them to expand.
He suppressed his power, not revealing his full strength, as the calamity, manifested by the will of heaven and earth, hung like a sword above his head, ready to strike at any moment.
However, after the Old Dragon God's roar, the calm waters of the Grand Canal erupted.
Countless waves surged, shrouded in mist, accompanied by the sound of explosions. Water columns shot into the sky, transforming into winding dragon shapes.
The dragon's might filled the air, and the powerful aura intertwined and merged, eventually forming human silhouettes with prominent dragon horns on their heads.
They were the Dragon Deity Prince and three Dragon Sons of the Dragon Deity lineage!
Their auras blazed, and their eyes shone with intense battle intent.
The Old Dragon God proudly observed his descendants, pleased with their spirit and determination, befitting of the Dragon Deity lineage fighting for their homeland.
Suddenly, the Old Dragon God felt that the Dragon Deity lineage wasn't beyond salvation.
With such a determined Dragon Deity Prince, the lineage's future looked promising, and he might even break through the tribulation...
The Dragon Deity lineage had a bright future!
"Hahaha!" The Old Dragon God couldn't help but laugh.
"Children, follow me to war! Fight for the future of our race!"
The Old Dragon God clenched his fist, and a golden trident appeared in his hand, shimmering with bright, dazzling light. Each of its prongs was embedded with sparkling gems, creating an exquisite sight.
A killing intent burst from the Old Dragon God, and his white hair fluttered in the wind.
Xie Yunsen glanced at the Old Dragon God, and his feather fan swayed gently.
Boom!
The dark night sky resembled mountains at the horizon, completely obscured by the hazy mist, making it difficult to discern its contours. Snowflakes danced in the air, as if freezing everything in the world.
Amidst the howling winds, snowflakes danced wildly in the air.
On the Grand Canal, the river surged and roared, as if a heavy horn blared, reverberating through the water's surface, echoing for hundreds of meters.
The thick fog that enveloped the river was torn apart.
One after another, massive black Xuan Long ships, after lying dormant for so long, finally started moving again, parting the waves like towering icebergs and setting sail once more.
The ships towered high, parting the river water, and as the waves crashed against their hulls, they created a thousand waves of snow-like foam.
The Xuan Tie Ling Mu warships were the naval fleet of the Great Jing Dynasty, fearsome and terrifying. The Great Jing Emperor had long ago begun planning for this naval fleet, preparing for the future conquest of the four seas.
Moreover, because the Great Jing Taizu had excavated the Grand Canal, it spanned almost the entire eleven paths of the Great Jing. Therefore, with its powerful navy, the Great Jing was like a colossal beast, rampaging without fear. With a wave of the emperor's hand, the warships could crush and shatter everything in their path.
The Xuan Tie Ling Mu warships, with their sides carved with terrifying patterns symbolizing slaughter, seemed to emerge from the depths of the Yellow Springs.
The flags, after being silent for a month, finally rose again, fluttering in the turbulent air, slicing through snowflakes and wind.
Boom!
The massive ships rocked up and down, smashing and pounding the incoming waves, as they sailed forth with ferocity.
One after another, like an orderly army, they followed the Grand Canal, heading towards the direction of the Qian Yuan Dao City, a dark and imposing force.
On the warship.
Xie Yunsen wore a crane cloak, a crown on his head, and fan gently swaying, stirring the breeze.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Finally...
According to the lord's plan, after today's battle, the imperial army would truly begin its campaign to conquer mountains and destroy sects, and the target... was no longer Qian Yuan, but the Tian Dan Shen Zong of Guangling Dao!
As for today's attack on the Qian Yuan Shen Zong, it was more like a grand performance, a play prepared for the Dragon God.
Xie Yunsen's gaze fell upon the Dragon God and his princes, who were striding through the waves, and he couldn't help but smile.
The Dragon God lineage's fortune...
He, Xie Yunsen, would take it for himself.
...
...
The news of Tai Bai Zong's main force attacking the Divine Tribulation spread like a storm, impossible to suppress.
Divine Tribulation!
A life-or-death struggle to enter the Divine Tribulation!
There wasn't much joy on everyone's faces, only solemnity, because breaking through the Divine Tribulation was no easy task, and failure was a real possibility.
If they failed, the Qian Yuan Shen Zong would face an extremely difficult situation.
Everyone's faces were filled with solemnity.
Feng Zhiqi let out a long breath, his body moved, and his qi and blood roared like a shooting star, landing swiftly on the city wall.
His black hair danced wildly, and he held a long sword in his arms, his eyes fixed on the deep night.
A long whistle sounded, and the horns blared as countless Divine Guard soldiers climbed onto the city walls, holding long spears, their eyes anxiously gazing into the distance.
Fireworks soared into the sky, blooming in mid-air, signaling the start of the battle.
The new scouts released signal flares, indicating that the imperial army, which had been stationed eight hundred li away, was launching another attack on Qian Yuan Dao City!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air, as Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, Ding Zi, Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, the martial sage of the noble family, and the Divine Embryo warriors all rose into the air, releasing a powerful and formidable aura.
The dozen or so martial sages and Divine Embryo warriors, the pinnacle of Qian Yuan Dao City's combat strength, unleashed an aura that was even more oppressive than that of a thousand troops and ten thousand horses.
In the sky.
Enormous tribulation clouds rolled, rumbling and brewing a terrifying divine tribulation disaster, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Buzz!
The grand elder, Fang Hanshu, with his scholar's robe fluttering, ascended into the sky, walking step by step, until he reached the sky above the city walls.
A vast river of energy surged and enveloped the entire city, easing the tension and anxiety in everyone's hearts.
Even Fang Hanshu's eyes deepened, and he said, "Tonight, there will undoubtedly be a great battle... a battle that will determine the life and death of the Qian Yuan Shen Zong."
Even he couldn't predict the outcome of this battle.
He wasn't sure if Lu Taibai could successfully break through the tribulation. If he succeeded, Qian Yuan Shen Zong would have one more divine tribulation cultivator, and there would be some hope.
A breakthrough Lu Taibai could block Gu Qianchi, and the grandmaster could resist the Dragon God...
If necessary, he could wear the mask of the hunting god killer...
But he felt that Xie Yunsen must have a trump card. After a month, how could Xie Yunsen have prepared nothing?
Had Zhao Beidou recovered from his serious injury?
Did Xie Yunsen invite another grandmaster from another divine sect?
The Seven Treasures Divine Sect seemed to have submitted to the court. Would the grandmaster of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect join the battle?
Fang Hanshu exhaled slowly.
It could be said that Qian Yuan Shen Zong's ability to withstand the first wave of the imperial army's attack was already a miracle.
However, Fang Hanshu wasn't overly desperate, as there was still hope.
He looked at Li Che, who was wearing a black shirt with golden lotus embroidery, floating in the air with a gentle and harmless expression.
Seemingly sensing Fang Hanshu's gaze, Li Che turned his head and smiled, "Grand Elder, there's no need to worry."
"Everything is stable."
Fang Hanshu was slightly surprised.
It seemed he didn't understand what Li Che meant by 'stable'.
"The Netherworld is everywhere.
Li Che thought for a moment and added another sentence.
The next moment, he landed gracefully on the city wall, his fingers spread wide, and the Guan Yin Sitting Lotus Main Battle Tank appeared, landing on the wall. Li Che's palm rested on the tank, his eyes gleaming.
At the same time, in the study, Li Che's original body had a deep gaze.
Lu Taibai's attempt to break through to the Divine Tribulation Realm did come as a surprise to Li Che.
Fortunately, Li Che received a message from Netherworld Gu Changqing, a renowned pill concocting expert, informing him that he had successfully crafted the Heavenly Toxic Pill and the Nine Turns Ascending Dragon Stake.
This completed Li Che's final backup plan for hunting down the Ancient Dragon God.
With a snap of his fingers, a black chess piece twisted and expanded in mid-air, transforming into the extremely respectful form of Gu Changqing.
"My Lord!" Gu Changqing exclaimed, dressed in a pill concocting master's robe, his face filled with excitement.
"Is it done?" Li Che asked with a smile.
Indeed, the ability to bind spirits was most effective when used on people, like Gu Changqing, a pill concocting master, who could provide tremendous assistance.
Li Che had once considered concocting pills himself, but his knowledge in pill concocting was limited. If he were to learn, he would have to start from scratch.
It would require a significant amount of effort, unlike the current situation where he could simply bind a pill concocting master and have them help with pill concocting.
"I've gathered two of the five major professions: Divine Armament Master and Divine Alchemy Master. In the future, I'll see if I can gather the remaining three: Divine Sculpture Master, Divine Talisman Master, and Divine Formation Master."
"I'll become a true all-around master!" Li Che laughed.
After all, the ability to bind spirits was essentially his own power, so why shouldn't he call himself an all-around master?
"Let's take a look..." Li Che narrowed his eyes, his interest piqued by the toxic pill.
Gu Changqing smiled and suddenly flicked his sleeve, causing a black jade bottle to float in the air.
With a thought, a jet-black pill, as shiny as jade, rose from the bottle, resembling a black jade pearl more than a pill.
An intensely rich fragrance wafted through the air, stirring the blood and divine essence within everyone's bodies.
If not for the knowledge that it was a toxic pill, one might mistake it for an extraordinary treasure pill!
"How do you use it? Surely you don't just feed it to someone. People aren't stupid; they won't just swallow an unknown pill." Li Che admired the toxic pill and then turned to Gu Changqing for an explanation.
Gu Changqing laughed, "My Lord, this Nine Turns Ascending Dragon Stake is the masterpiece of the Yin Xuan Ancestor's Heavenly Toxic Pill. Its method of use is also unique. With a thought, the pill rotates, one turn to birth, two turns to increase, three turns... nine turns to form the Heavenly Toxic Curtain. Once the Dragon Stake is complete, even the gods will find it difficult to resist."
Upon hearing this, Li Che immediately understood how to use the pill.
