Chapter 465: Xu Kun, the Heavenly Qilin
Chapter 465: Xu Kun, the Heavenly Qilin
Ji Xinghuo's heart trembled. He was the first to sense the colossal beast traversing through the void, but he never expected it to be a Xu Kun dragon.
One of the Seven Great Dragon Clans, the Xu Kun dragon, gave an impression of sheer magnitude! It was the largest dragon breed, bar none.
This Xu Kun dragon was only a seismic-level in terms of size, but its body length exceeded 350 meters. Its form resembled the Whale Dragon, with a main body resembling a blue whale magnified several dozen times. Its scales were interconnected, forming a dull gray-blue hide that was smooth yet resilient.
The Xu Kun dragon possessed a pair of enormous fins. They were, in fact, its dragon wings, growing from the middle of its body and extending outward, resembling bird wings. Each wing spanned nearly 200 meters in length, and its tail was broad and flat, split into two lobes that swayed slowly in the void, as if the void were the sea, and its massive body was gliding through the sky.
Its seemingly slow speed was deceptively fast. With each flap of its dragon wings, visible spatial ripples were created, propelling its colossal body forward at an astonishing pace.
The vast and mighty aura it exuded was like an ocean, awe-inspiring everyone in the area.
It was a miracle of life! Ji Xinghuo observed this Xu Kun dragon, feeling a sense of grandeur. Indeed, it lived up to its reputation as a divine dragon breed.
However, the visitor did not come with good intentions.
On the back of the Xu Kun dragon stood a figure, who appeared minuscule in comparison to the beast beneath him. One could easily overlook him.
Cang Ya spoke, "He is Xu Kun Tianlin."
The name was renowned in the Bibo Dragon Realm. Previously, when they were searching for the Cloud Sea Dragon, she and Ji Xinghuo had chatted, and during their discussion of the top geniuses of the Bibo Dragon Realm, Xu Kun Tianlin was among the first few mentioned.
In the entire True Dragon Empire, there was only one Xu Kun dragon bloodline, and that was the Dragon King Clan of the Tianxu Territory.
All the Xu Kun dragon masters came from this clan.
Xu Kun Tianlin was no exception.
In the past millennium, the Xu Kun Clan's power had declined, and their fame and influence had been overshadowed by the Starry Canglong Clan.
Even the current Xu Kun Dragon King had only ascended to the Seventh Stage after ascending the Dragon King's throne, and the clan had almost lost its rule over the Tianxu Territory.
However, several decades ago, Xu Kun Tianlin made his spectacular entrance into the world.
Soon after his birth, he displayed an extremely strong bloodline and innate talent. The clan bestowed upon him one of the few Xu Kun dragons, to accompany him as he grew, granting his every request. The best resources were supplied to him as a priority.
Xu Kun Tianlin did not disappoint. He rapidly advanced, reaching the Sixth Stage in a very short time. Whether it was martial arts, psionic powers, or cultivation speed, he surpassed all in the Dragon Realm. Not only did he dominate his peers, remaining undefeated, but he also frequently defeated stronger opponents of higher stages.
Even when he was still a legendary Fifth Stage, Xu Kun Tianlin had already made it onto the Rising Star List, entering the second tier, the Qilin List.
He was the clan's pride and hope, seen as a symbol of their resurgence.
Currently, Xu Kun Tianlin was at the peak of the Sixth Stage.
Although he had not yet reached the Seventh Stage, his strength was recognized even within the Bibo Dragon Realm. Only those Sixth Stage powerhouses who had been famous for centuries could match him, and he had never lost to any of them.
In the Tianxu Territory, Xu Kun Tianlin was second only to the Xu Kun Dragon King.
"Why is he here?" Ji Xinghuo asked, puzzled.
Cang Ya shook her head.
Generally, dragon masters who possessed a divine dragon breed looked down on other dragons, and the exclusivity of the Xu Kun dragon was even more pronounced.
Ji Xinghuo gazed at Xu Kun Tianlin.
This unparalleled genius had an extremely handsome appearance, with delicate and perfect features and a tall, slender figure. However, his demeanor carried a hint of effeminacy. With a slight adjustment to his appearance and demeanor, he could easily pass as a stunning beauty.
Of course, no one would belittle a Xu Kun dragon master because of his looks, and Ji Xinghuo was now on guard.
The massive Xu Kun dragon hovered in the air, resembling a mountain suspended five kilometers away.
Such proximity was extremely dangerous.
Aside from Xu Kun Tianlin, no one else, including Whale Qin, dared to approach too closely, and they watched from different directions.
"Cang Ya."
Xu Kun Tianlin spoke, his voice soft and magnetic, quite pleasant to hear. However, his tone carried an air of superiority.
Standing atop the Xu Kun dragon, he looked down and said, "Give me this Cloud Sea Dragon, and I'll owe you a favor."
Anger flashed in Cang Ya's eyes, but she dared not act on it. "Xu Kun Tianlin, what do you want with the Cloud Sea Dragon?"
"I don't want it, but a junior member of my family needs it." Xu Kun Tianlin's voice was indifferent as he spoke, as if it were a great honor for others to have him owe them a favor. "Anyway, you don't lack a Cloud Sea Dragon. For the Dragon Emperor's sake, I'll give you some additional compensation."
By "Dragon Emperor," he was referring to the Bipo Dragon Emperor of the Canglong Clan.
"Hmph..." Cang Ya coldly huffed, "If you dare to take the Cloud Sea Dragon today, the Dragon Emperor will pay a visit to the Tianxu Territory tomorrow."
Xu Kun Tianlin's expression changed slightly.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding sea abyss hunters and dragon masters showed cautious expressions.
"The Dragon Emperor is benevolent and loving. How could he be angered by a mere Cloud Sea Dragon?" Xu Kun Tianlin seemed confident as he spoke matter-of-factly. "This Cloud Sea Dragon is ownerless, and it willingly follows me. Even if the Dragon Emperor asks about it later, I will have a valid reason."
His gaze swept across the surrounding sea.
"All of you here can also be my witnesses."
Whale Qin, Star-spotted Storm, and the other sea abyss hunters nodded. A wild dragon belonged to whoever could capture it and make it recognize them as its master.
Of course, they dared not kill Cang Ya, they could only snatch away the Cloud Sea Dragon.
Stealing a dragon was a minor issue, but killing a core member of the Cang Dragon Clan, a genius of the third sequence, would undoubtedly incur retaliation. The wrath of a Dragon Emperor was something no family in the Bipo Dragon Domain could withstand.
Xu Kun Tianlin's mouth curled up slightly, a casual smile on his face, but his words were laden with oppression and threat. "Cang Ya, don't force me to take action."
His loud voice caused the air to ripple for dozens of kilometers, reverberating over the sea and deafening everyone present.
The surrounding crowd paled.
They supported Xu Kun Tianlin's statement, hoping he would clash with Cang Ya so they could take advantage of the chaos to seize the Cloud Sea Dragon.
However, that idea seemed to be in vain. Xu Kun Tianlin's strength was far superior to Cang Ya's.
If Cang Ya handed over the Cloud Sea Dragon, no one would dare to make a move.
Cang Ya's face turned as cold as frost.
She was indeed in a dilemma and subconsciously looked at Ji Xinghuo beside her, asking in a low voice, "What should I do?"
Cang Ya's actions puzzled everyone.
It was only now that Xu Kun Tianlin took a proper look at Ji Xinghuo. But under the disguise of the deceit mask, Ji Xinghuo's aura was that of an ordinary True Dragon human at the legendary first stage. He was neither a Dragon Master nor a Dragon Warrior.
In the True Dragon Empire, this meant he was a weakling.
True Dragon humans with exceptional talent would either become Dragon Masters through competition or settle for being Dragon Warriors.
Only those with the poorest talent would choose other evolutionary paths.
However, two people did not dare to underestimate him.
One was Whale Qin, whose arms still ached from being knocked back by Ji Xinghuo earlier when they were fighting over the dragon scales.
The other was Star-spotted Storm, who watched Ji Xinghuo with great interest, hoping he would fight Xu Kun Tianlin, preferably both of them injuring each other severely.
Ji Xinghuo had already been thinking of ways to deal with Xu Kun Tianlin since his appearance.
"Hold him back."
Ji Xinghuo suddenly replied.
"What?" Cang Ya didn't understand his intention. Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo's body was enveloped in white light, and to everyone's astonishment, he disappeared along with the Cloud Sea Dragon, still frozen in the iceberg.
In an instant, only Cang Ya and a crowd of onlooking Dragon Masters and sea abyss hunters were left.
Everyone was stunned.
"Hahaha..."
Xu Kun Tianlin burst into loud laughter, both mocking Cang Ya's foolishness and expressing his delight at being able to track the starry space-time jump and have this opportunity all to himself. "Fool! It's useless to run anywhere in front of me!"
The Xu Kun dragon beneath his feet flapped its dragon wings, about to soar into the void.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ice cracked open, and a massive column of water shot into the sky, slamming into the Xu Kun dragon's abdomen and interrupting its void-piercing attempt.
At the same time, the Ice Soul Dragon frantically flapped its wings and soared upwards, exhaling icy dragon breath.
Cang Ya hovered in mid-air, her spiritual energy erupting.
The giant waves crashed, the icy wind and frost combining with her two dragons' relentless attacks on Xu Kun Tianlin. Countless seawater tendrils wrapped around the Xu Kun dragon, instantly freezing and binding its wings, pulling it forcefully downward towards the seabed.
"You're insane!"
Xu Kun Tianlin was caught off guard.
The others present also didn't understand why Cang Ya would attack Xu Kun Tianlin instead of pursuing the one who took away the Cloud Sea Dragon.
"I'm fighting you!" Cang Ya shouted, putting all her strength into this battle.
Boom!
The Xu Kun dragon's massive body trembled slightly.
An invisible wave instantly spread out for over ten kilometers, causing gravity within the area to increase a thousandfold. All matter became incredibly heavy, the sea waves were flattened, the ice shattered, and everyone felt as if a mountain had been pressed upon them, even their star power struggled to flow.
Only Xu Kun Tianlin was unaffected. He scowled and raised his hand, swatting at Cang Ya from a distance.
The seawater that had been flung into the sky immediately changed direction and crashed back down.
Cang Ya activated her ability field.
A layer of icy protection, along with thousands of tons of seawater that condensed into a water ball with a diameter of several dozen meters, guarded her from all sides.
"Pathetic!"
Xu Kun Tianlin sneered.
A small black ball appeared near Cang Ya, about the size of a ping pong ball. As it formed, it distorted the surrounding void, creating a terrifying suction force that pulled in all the seawater, ice, and matter within a hundred meters. It created a spherical void that was almost an absolute vacuum.
Cang Ya's protective water ball, ice layer, and ability field instantly shattered. Fortunately, her spiritual energy burst allowed her to escape the void's edge.
Boom!
An invisible explosion occurred as the matter sucked into the black ball was highly compressed and then released as a void energy.
This time, Cang Ya couldn't escape in time and was injured.
The next second, the towering giant waves, empowered by the thousandfold gravity, crashed down on her, submerging her.
In this critical moment, Cang Ya's body transformed into a torrent, mixing with the crashing seawater to offset most of the damage.
But even a slight impact was more than she could bear.
Cang Ya's true form was forced out in the seawater, her body heavily wounded and left with almost no strength to resist.
However, Xu Kun Tianlin dared not strike a fatal blow. Without another glance at Cang Ya, the Xu Kun dragon flapped its wings, its massive body entering the void, and the oppressive thousandfold gravity that had encompassed the area for dozens of kilometers disappeared.
