Chapter 478: Ao Yuxue, the Name of My Master, the Great Causality

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment before waving his hand. The Dragon Subduing Palm power that coiled around the White Jade True Dragon retracted, one after another, until all eighteen golden dragons were swirling around him.

When Xu Yan looked at the White Jade True Dragon again, her scarlet eyes had disappeared, and she had regained her senses and sanity.

At this moment, the White Jade True Dragon looked somewhat weak as she glared at Xu Yan with shock, anger, and confusion in the depths of her eyes.

"You..."

She wanted to say something but ultimately closed her mouth and turned to leave.

Roar!

However, a golden dragon coiled around her, entangling the two of them together.

The White Jade True Dragon struggled and cursed, "You shameless, despicable, and lecherous man! What do you want from me?"

"You are a dragon I have subdued. Without my permission, who allowed you to leave?" Xu Yan said as he raised his hand, and the golden dragon wrapped around the White Jade True Dragon, dragging her towards him.

"Let go of me! You shameless, despicable... " The White Jade True Dragon struggled, but at this moment, her breath was much weaker, and she couldn't resist. She was pulled towards Xu Yan by the golden dragon.

The onlookers were all stunned by this scene, and as they watched the two entwined dragons, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

No wonder the White Jade True Dragon was about to cry; this entangled posture was indeed a bit uncivilized!

"You have caused such a huge disaster in the Divine Realm, and you want to just walk away? You are now subdued by me, so surrender obediently." Xu Yan raised his hand and slapped out another golden dragon, which coiled around her.

"It was you who plotted against me, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet. How dare you try to pin the blame for this chaos on me? It's preposterous!" The White Jade True Dragon struggled with anger.

Then she started to feel wronged, and her voice took on a sobbing tone. "All of you are so despicable, taking advantage of my youth and innocence. You despicable man, how can you humiliate me like this? I..."

At this moment, the golden dragon had dragged the White Jade True Dragon over, and she seemed to be sobbing, having given up struggling.

Seeing that the True Dragon had been subdued, many of the onlookers who were powerful warriors became excited.

However, the tremors in the Divine Realm continued, and they all realized that a great change was beginning in the Divine Realm, and that all of this was related to this True Dragon.

Swish!

A figure instantly appeared in front of them and said, "Young Friend Xu, this dragon is extremely evil and has caused chaos in the Divine Realm. In my opinion, it should be skinned, its tendons plucked out, and its meat and blood devoured!" As he spoke, his eyes took on a feverish gleam.

Upon hearing this, the White Jade True Dragon was so frightened that she screamed, "You dare? How dare you? My grandfather will not let you off!" However, she was completely helpless, and her eyes were filled with despair.

As the first warrior spoke out, the other Immortal Reverends who were watching also stepped forward, their voices filled with anger. "Yes, this dragon is extremely evil and has caused chaos in the Divine Realm. It should be skinned, its tendons plucked out, and its meat and blood devoured to avenge the victims of the Divine Realm!"

"Young Friend Xu, you must not let this True Dragon off the hook!"

"Yes, the evil of this dragon is unforgivable!"

"I implore Young Master Xu to severely punish this dragon. Skin it, pluck its tendons, and let us drink its blood and eat its flesh!"

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, demanding that the True Dragon be skinned and its tendons plucked out. They justified their actions in the name of the Divine Realm's justice and did not forget to praise Xu Yan, saying that they would erect a statue in his honor and pass his name down through the ages as the savior of the Divine Realm's great calamity.

Old Man Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and watched silently without saying a word.

However, Tai Miao, the sect master of the Grand Desolate Sect, and the others looked thoughtful. A few of the elders were tempted, but Tai Miao's gaze stopped them.

"These people want to eat the dragon!" Du Yu Ying said coldly.

"Moreover, they want to coerce Young Master Xu with the pretext of justice and flatter him with praise so that he will agree to their demands amidst the flattery," Yun Miaomiao added, her face cold.

Xu Yan's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the White Jade True Dragon and said, "Do you see that? They all want to eat you. Even if I let you go, can you survive in your current state?"

"What... what do you want from me?" The White Jade True Dragon's voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with despair.

In her opinion, with so many powerful warriors demanding her flesh and blood in the name of the Divine Realm's justice and the enticement of eternal glory, Xu Yan would definitely agree to their demands.

She was doomed!

"If you want to live, open up your mind and release your spiritual defenses," Xu Yan said indifferently.

"If I do, can you really protect me?" The White Jade True Dragon asked, a bit suspicious.

"Of course. This group of bullies is nothing to be afraid of. Do you think they can threaten me?" Xu Yan smiled faintly.

"Okay!"

The True Dragon hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

At this moment, she had no other choice, and by opening up her mind, no matter what means Xu Yan used, her grandfather would definitely be able to release her once he appeared.

Xu Yan raised his hand and imprinted a mark on the True Dragon's mind—a small golden dragon. This was the Dragon Subduing Mark he had obtained after his Dragon Subduing Palm reached perfection.

"What kind of technique is this? It's too terrifying. Moreover, the golden dragon he manifested is almost indistinguishable from my true dragon form; it seems to be a technique specifically designed to counter true dragons!"

With this thought, she began to doubt her ability to remove the golden dragon imprint from her mind.

At this moment, more and more voices joined the agitated crowd, as newly arrived Immortal Reverends learned of the situation and eagerly added their voices to the mix. Their eyes gleamed with fanaticism as they stared at the flawless jade-white true dragon.

After imprinting the Subduing Dragon mark, Xu Yan waved his hand, causing the Dragon Subduing Palm power to dissipate and freeing the true dragon from its restraints.

"Young Master Xu..."

The group of Immortal Reverends stared at him with fervent eyes, eager to say more.

"Silence! All of you, shut your mouths!"

A voice like thunder suddenly rang out.

Immediately, sword auras rose from all directions, filling the space between heaven and earth with an intent to annihilate, as if, in the next instant, it would eradicate all the powerful warriors present.

"It's none of your business how Xu intends to act!"

Xu Yan's eyes turned cold, and his sword intent soared to the skies.

The clamor of the crowd abruptly ceased.

"Young Master Xu, this true dragon has caused such a catastrophe, taking countless lives. How can you just let her go? Where is the face and dignity of our human race? Are you, Young Master Xu, going to disregard our race's dignity and..."

An Immortal Reverend spoke with righteous indignation, his voice filled with sorrow and anger.

Whoosh!

Before he could finish, a sword light slashed down, turning him into flying ash.

"What does your dignity have to do with me, Xu Yan? How dare you presume to speak for the human race? Always scheming to devour her, do you think I, Xu Yan, am ignorant of your intentions?

"Or perhaps, you believe my sword isn't sharp enough?!"

Xu Yan took a step forward, and sword light soared to the heavens. The Ten Directions Annihilating Sword reflected in all directions, filling the world with an aura of annihilation. At this moment, the crowd of warriors who had been clamorously shouting fell silent, their faces revealing looks of astonishment as they suddenly realized that Sword God Xu Yan was a ruthless man!

Not someone to be provoked!

Absolutely not!

"We dare not! We dare not!"

"Since the true dragon has been subdued by Young Master Xu, it's naturally up to him to decide her fate!"

"Yes, yes! We have no objections, none at all!"

The group of Immortal Reverends immediately backed down.

In the distance, Yun Miaomiao and Du Yu Ying stared with infatuated eyes. As expected of Young Master Xu, always so domineering, always looking down on the heroes of the world!

"Hmph!"

Xu Yan snorted coldly, and the sword light vanished. He raised his head to look at the sky, where the tremors in the Divine Realm continued, and the heavenly mechanisms became even more active but also seemed somewhat agitated.

"Is this the unification of heaven and earth?"

Xu Yan pondered inwardly.

Turning back to look at the true dragon, he asked, "What's your name?"

"Ao... Ao Yuxue!"

A crisp, youthful voice replied.

After speaking, Ao Yuxue transformed into a human. She was a girl dressed in snow-white clothes, with a peerlessly beautiful face and two small horns, each about an inch long, growing on her head.

After transforming, Ao Yuxue's face turned deathly pale, and her aura weakened, indicating that she had suffered tremendous exhaustion.

"You..."

Her eyes still held a trace of fear as she looked at Xu Yan, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin.

"From your appearance, it seems that you've suffered a lot of damage, almost injuring your source, right?"

Xu Yan mused.

"Yes."

Ao Yuxue replied softly.

At this moment, she didn't dare to reveal even a hint of her dragon might. The proud true dragon lowered her head.

Xu Yan was truly unfathomable. That golden giant dragon seemed like a real true dragon, and it had actually suppressed her.

"Within the same realm, my true dragon clan will surely be countered by this technique!"

Ao Yuxue was shocked.

Her original realm was higher than Xu Yan's, yet she had still been subdued. Although not everyone who cultivated this technique would be as powerful as Xu Yan, it was almost certain that in a contest within the same realm, the true dragon clan would be at a disadvantage.

Ao Yuxue's heart grew heavy as she thought of her own experience. She felt that a huge conspiracy was targeting the true dragon clan.

If she had been subdued, what about the other true dragons?

Even her grandfather...

The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became.

"Then go and rest in here."

Xu Yan raised his hand, and a small tortoise shell appeared—the shell of the Primordial Turtle.

When Ao Yuxue saw this, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Containing a small world within, this was undoubtedly a heavenly treasure, and only the master of a small world would be able to possess such an item.

To put it bluntly, only the powerful being who had claimed the purple light and created the small world could own such a treasure.

"This turtle, is it...?"

Old Man Xiao furrowed his brows, a sense of familiarity washing over him as he gazed at the turtle shell in Xu Yan's hand.

"The Primordial Turtle?"

Suddenly, he thought of a powerful True Spirit.

His heart skipped a beat, and then he understood.

"No wonder it contains a small world within. So, it's the shell of the Primordial Turtle. It seems the Primordial Turtle has perished."

However, he was curious as to how Xu Yan had come to possess the shell of the Primordial Turtle after its demise.

"Could it be that the one backing Xu Yan is related to the Unchanging Land?"

Old Man Xiao's brows furrowed deeper.

Ao Yuxue had already transformed into a ray of white light and entered the Primordial Turtle shell.

Xu Yan put away the turtle shell and turned to face the group of Immortal Reverends, their expressions varying from shock to envy. He remained calm and unafraid, showing no concern that they might try to snatch the treasure from him.

Then, he looked at Old Man Xiao, his expression turning solemn.

"This man is powerful. A Domain Realm expert?"

Although Old Man Xiao had concealed his true strength well and appeared to be an ordinary Immortal Reverend, he couldn't hide it from Xu Yan's discerning eyes.

"Aside from my master, this man is the strongest person I've ever met."

Of course, if one were to include that majestic figure, then this man would pale in comparison.

Nevertheless, among all the powerful beings he had encountered, this man was undoubtedly the strongest, Xu Yan assessed silently. His strength was probably even greater than that of Di Wu and Yan Mo.

As for Mei Wu's strength, Xu Yan found it difficult to gauge. After all, Mei Wu's power was rather unique, and if someone couldn't resist her allure, even the strongest person would be of no use.

"You're truly exceptional, to have subdued a true dragon at such a young age. This is unprecedented throughout the ages."

Old Man Xiao smiled as he took a step forward and stood before Xu Yan.

"Who are you?"

Xu Yan asked, his guard up.

"You can call me Old Man Xiao."

Old Man Xiao stroked his beard, his face filled with warmth.

However, his heart was secretly startled. Xu Yan had actually seen through his disguise; this was something he had never experienced before.

If Xu Yan's strength were comparable to or even surpassed his own, then he wouldn't be surprised if Xu Yan saw through his disguise. But Xu Yan's strength was far inferior to his, and yet he had still seen through him?

"Little friend, who is your master? Perhaps I'm an old acquaintance of yours."

Old Man Xiao asked with a smile.

He was curious about who had cultivated such a monstrous disciple.

Xu Yan shook his head and said, "My master couldn't possibly be someone you know."

"Oh? Why do you say that? In my travels across the heavens and earth, I've met countless peak experts."

Old Man Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"Because your strength is too weak. My master never remembers the names of weak people, so I'm certain that you aren't someone he knows!"

Xu Yan replied sincerely.

Old Man Xiao's smile froze, and his hand, which had been stroking his beard, paused in mid-air. "You say I'm too weak? Young man, do you know who you're talking to? I'll have you know that very few in all the heavens and earth can match my strength!"

Old Man Xiao straightened his back and declared proudly.

"You said it yourself, that very few in all the heavens and earth can match your strength. But in my master's eyes, the entire heavens and earth are as insignificant as dust. There is no one who can match my master, so I'm sure that you aren't someone he knows!"

Xu Yan stated firmly.

Old Man Xiao's jaw twitched, and his face darkened. "Good! Good! Good! I want to ask, then, what is your master's name? How is it that they view the heavens and earth as insignificant dust?"

Xu Yan sighed and said, "Senior, there's no need to ask about my master. My master's name carries too much causality, and you won't be able to bear it!"

Damn!

Old Man Xiao nearly cursed out loud. Even someone as powerful as Tai Cang couldn't boast such a name that would bring about unbearable causality. In all the heavens and earth, including the Unchanging Land, there was no name that he couldn't bear to hear!

"It doesn't matter! Just tell me. If I, Old Man Xiao, can't bear the causality, then I'll just die. It won't be your fault!"

Old Man Xiao took a deep breath and said with a black face.

Xu Yan remained silent for a moment before speaking with a helpless expression, "Senior, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but my master's name carries such great causality that even the heavens and earth can't bear it. I can't let you cause a great calamity just because of your curiosity!"

Old Man Xiao stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape. Was this young man exaggerating? A name that could bring about a great calamity in the heavens and earth just by being spoken? That was too incredible!
