Chapter 478: The First Encounter with a True Celestial Talent (4K, thanks to fellow Mengzhu Haoyue Tongming)
In all of Southern Hong, there were few who had the qualifications to declare war on the Dragon Palace.
After much thought, it could only be the Southern Hong Seven Sons' Sect Master.
Identity-wise, there was no issue.
But... but was there too much of a gap in cultivation?
A decision made by a Fusion Realm grandmaster could be executed by a mid-Return Void Realm cultivator, right?
Even Liu Shiqian's expression turned peculiar.
He wished he could take back his previous words.
The Yan family members instinctively took to the air, wanting to stop Shen Yi, and Yan Xianqing's expression changed drastically.
Perhaps his aura was too obvious.
In the lake bay, the meditating figure slightly frowned.
His body was straight, adorned in luxurious golden armor, wearing a bejeweled crown, and his slightly immature face had two small dragon horns on his forehead.
In the moment he frowned,
The four guards beside him simultaneously revealed coldness, lifting their gazes upwards: "Disturbing a Dragon Progeny's meditation, do you seek death? Scram!"
These guards had the highest cultivation at the ninth layer of Returning to Emptiness.
But under their scolding, including Yan Xianqing and many other cultivators, they instinctively stopped in their tracks.
The reputation of the Lord of Hongze surpassed cultivation realms.
In matters of such importance, even Liu Shiqian had to first report to the sect and await the sect master's decree before taking action.
"Southern Palace Dragon Progeny, Ke Shisan."
Every Dragon Progeny was registered within the Southern Hong forces.
Shisan was the youngest, named Ke Xuanjian.
Starting late, he had already built a formidable reputation, not inferior to his father and brothers in their youth, and even surpassing them.
His father was the Yellow-Light Poison Dragon, and his mother was also a powerful Purple-Pearl Clam Demoness from the aquatic races.
He not only mastered the divine abilities of both bloodlines but was also skilled in his self-cultivated Spirit Art, achieving remarkable prowess.
Once he breaks through to the perfection of Returning to Emptiness, he will be able to lead his troops and be granted a fiefdom, establishing his own lineage.
Young and ambitious, it was no wonder he set his sights on the Yan family's grand array.
"It's too late."
Just then, Yan Xianqing inwardly felt something was amiss due to his instinctive hesitation.
He saw the Dragon Progeny slowly opening his eyes.
His eyes were clear and ethereal.
He stared at the Nanyang white-robed figure in front of him, his voice carrying a hint of youthfulness: "You disturbed my meditation."
As he spoke, Ke Xuanjian stood up: "Trespassing into someone's meditation ground is truly impolite. Yan Xianqing, I'll give you a chance. Take him away, and let the Southern Hong Seven Sons send a letter of apology on my behalf, and this matter can be dropped."
"..."
Yan Xianqing had intended to forcefully take Shen Yi away, but after hearing these words, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
From this moment on, this was no longer a simple disturbance of cultivation.
He was being forced to take sides.
With Ke Shisan's discernment, how could he not recognize the Nanyang white-robed figure?
Giving orders to the Nanyang Sect's vassals in front of the Nanyang Sect Master... if he took action to take Shen Yi away, there would truly be no turning back.
"Heh."
Noticing Yan Xianqing's hesitation, Ke Shisan suddenly chuckled and turned back to look at the distant youth. He saw the youth's fingertips releasing golden threads, swiftly setting up a complex grand array at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
"I know you, and I understand the Nanyang Sect's current situation better than you think."
"Your so-called Sect Master's name is but a joke in the eyes of the Dragon Palace."
"If you die, none of the two White Jade Capital elders above will dare to harm me for your sake. But if I get injured, the Southern Dragon Palace will definitely come, turning your cherished Nanyang Treasure Land into a wasteland."
Ke Shisan reached out to the side, and the guard handed him the Lingyun long spear.
"Of course, you need not worry about that."
"Because you have no chance of winning."
The Dragon Progeny retracted his smile and suddenly gripped the spear tightly.
At that moment, sixteen Five Elements Lotus Grand Arrays simultaneously enveloped the lake bay.
Shen Yi slightly raised his gaze.
He rarely had such an opportunity to calmly set up a grand array to perfection in front of others.
Whether he could defeat them was uncertain.
But preventing their escape was always a wise move.
The next moment, Shen Yi quietly disappeared from his original position.
The Boundless Demon Imperial Palace appeared with overwhelming might, occupying the sky. A fifth-layer Returning to Emptiness cultivation was impressive anywhere.
But in this situation, it seemed somewhat inadequate.
After all, there was no one present with a lower cultivation level.
However, including Ke Shisan, no one dared to ignore this Dao Palace.
Four strands of Primordial Purple Qi filled the air, as if confronting the heavens.
Moreover, the vastness of the purple aura was so intense that even a blind person could sense something amiss.
In an instant, the four strands of Primordial Purple Qi converged at a certain point.
Amidst the purple-golden flame waves, a figure emerged, fingers stretched out, pointing directly at Ke Shisan's face!
"Step back.
Facing this formidable attack, Ke Shisan actually had the leisure to dismiss several guards.
Then, he raised his spear and struck first.
Suddenly, countless scales appeared on the entire spear, and the treasure pearl embedded at the tip of the spear even sprouted an iris.
This divine weapon had come to life!
Roar—
The dragon's roar transformed into a tangible wave, causing the bay to flow in reverse and the sky to descend.
"Azure Dragon Shatterstar Lance."
With Yan Xianqing's cultivation realm, he shouldn't have been surprised by the battle below the White Jade Capital.
But this spirit art, which had reached the pinnacle of perfection, still made him feel the terror of the Dragon Progenitor.
The young opponent, with a demonic body, forcibly cultivated the human spirit art, and his progress was even faster than those celestial talents.
He learned from Yan Xingyuan that Sect Leader Shen had once slain a Sea-Striding General at the Eighth Level of Returning to Emptiness.
But this was a battle on two completely different levels.
Seeing that the Dragon Progenitor was only one level higher than the Sea-Striding General, but in reality, when they actually fought, this single spear thrust was enough to take the Sea-Striding General's life.
"How is it?"
A sinister smile appeared on Ke Shisan's youthful face, and in the instant those five fingers pressed down, the spear tip viciously pierced through the white robe.
On the Nanyang white robe, the flickering array talismans were instantly penetrated by the spear, and it immediately found the weakest point.
However, at the moment the spear tip shattered that figure.
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
A piercing pain suddenly surged from his back.
Crack!
Shen Yi's knee strike was even more ferocious than the spear tip, shattering the Dragon Progenitor's golden armor.
Those four purple auras were meant to confuse the opponent.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to stand there and let others prepare, and then use his secret technique in front of others.
"Roar!"
Ke Xuanqing and the spear roared in unison, and as he turned his head, the spear lashed out like a dragon's tail, striking again!
But in that moment of turning, he saw those fierce eyes.
Almost simultaneously, his vision was engulfed in darkness.
The countless eyes in the sky were like cold stars, instinctively instilling fear in one's heart.
In a breath, the Dragon Progenitor felt his entire body torn apart, and he screamed as he flew backward, skimming across the lake and stirring up raging waves.
Meanwhile, at the original spot.
Four well-coordinated Dragon Palace guards had already used their thousand-forged demonic bodies to tightly lock Shen Yi's arms.
As soon as Shen Yi appeared behind the Dragon Progenitor, they had already made their move.
If not for this, the price Ke Xuanqing paid for his momentary negligence might have been far more than just being blasted away.
The Heavenly Derivation Nine-Nine spirit art was most effective when used for the first time.
"..."
All four Dragon Palace guards had their eyes closed, blocking out all sound, and their minds were solely focused on the arms they had pinned down.
They seemed to be in perfect harmony.
With such synchronized force, the powerful demonic bodies that could overturn rivers and seas were all used together, and the effect was simply terrifying.
However, they all had their eyes closed.
They didn't see the cruel and terrifying smile that lifted the corners of Shen Yi's fair-skinned face.
Under the enhancement of the intense pain.
He suddenly transformed from the calm and silent sect leader into a crazed beast.
In his noble and ineffable purple-golden eyes, a hint of crimson quietly emerged.
The demonic power from the Dao Palace poured into his body, causing the coiled Phoenix Immortal Body to suddenly exude a dense aura of malice, and even the paulownia tree added three shades of blood.
Boom—
The guard seemed to want to tear Shen Yi apart.
However, in the instant Shen Yi raised his arm, it was as if he had lifted that strong and sturdy horse into the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shen Yi grabbed the guard's neck, choking him until his face turned purple, and then he viciously slammed him to the ground!
Purple-golden flame waves roared and spread across the earth.
The guard seemed to have turned into a huge hammer, wielded by Shen Yi, as he smashed it into the ground like a raging storm.
The other three guards, under the pressure of the flames, wanted to retreat first, but before they could move, their calves were tightly grasped by bony hands and viciously slammed into the former's body.
The Phoenix Immortal Body, which was originally limited to the sixth level of Returning to Emptiness, had already reached a terrifying level with the support of such abundant Primordial Purple Qi.
Four bodies were embedded into the ground.
Shen Yi bent down and punched, and with each punch, blood spurted high.
Their desperate struggles were all forcefully blasted back.
The blood stained the white robe and also soiled his handsome face.
The originally calm eyes were now filled with violence.
"Lock him down for me!"
A loud shout came from the other side of the bay, and Ke Xuanqing finally recovered from the heavy blow he had just received. He stepped on the surging waves, tightly gripped his spear, and charged back with a fierce momentum.
This time, it wasn't just using Spirit Arts.
Two dragon horns emitted a blinding light.
Murky yellow killing intent surged from the spear, and even the emerald green bay seemed to radiate a toxic aura.
The four Dragon Palace bloodlines were distinct from each other.
Compared to the Eastern Palace's elegant purple-bearded white dragon with its immortal aura, the Southern Palace's yellow-killing poison dragon was the most sinister and evil lineage.
Hearing the Dragon Progeny's command, the four guards, whose auras were as thin as silk, struggled to reach out and grab the young man's arms.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Heavenly Derivation Nine-Nine unfolded, and beneath the bloody and blurred fist peaks, four heads exploded simultaneously!
Shen Yi slowly turned her head.
Her damp, dark red hair stuck to her pale face, and even the flickering golden flame between her eyebrows couldn't burn away the murderous intent in her eyes.
Within her pupils, Ke Shi San appeared, accompanied by a shadow of a yellow-killing dragon soul, rushing forward with a gradually enlarging figure.
The Azure Dragon Shatterstar Lance emerged once more! At the same time, in the Boundless Demon Imperial Palace, countless straight pillars burst into radiance.
Surrounding the Demon Emperor's meditation cushion, the nine demons awakened.
They erupted with rage.
A staggering roar erupted!
The myriad of demons bowed in worship!
At the boundary of the bay, the yellow-killing dragon soul and the crimson immortal demon collided, blood-red and dusky yellow intertwining, with a line appearing in between.
In the instant the lance passed through that line, the surging spiritual energy on it suddenly transformed into a pungent and savage demonic power.
Ke Xuanqing was momentarily stunned.
He had cultivated Spirit Arts for many years and hadn't encountered such pure demonic power in a long time.
Pat.
Shen Yi indifferently raised her palm, and under the horrified gaze of the Dragon Progeny, she firmly grasped the spear's tip.
Named Shatterstar, yet tainted by demonic power, its might suddenly diminished.
But even so, it shouldn't be something a mortal body could resist.
Ke Shi San subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Just then, he saw blood splatter from the elegant sleeves of the young man, revealing a grayish-white armor beneath.
Like white bones, as hard as fine steel.
The exaggeratedly sharp design covered the arms entirely.
In front of the immortal armor, the raging dragon lance suddenly quieted down, and the terrifying aura within it seemed to vanish into nothingness.
Crack.
Amidst the wailing of the dragon lance.
Shen Yi directly seized it, gazing intently at the Dragon Progeny's terrified eyes, and purple-golden radiance erupted once more.
Ke Xuanqing was momentarily lost in confusion, surrounded by the tall figure holding the lance on all sides.
His specialty, the yellow-killing intent, seemed to have vanished into thin air.
A handsome face looked down, and the lance tip flipped, emitting a cold glint.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Ke Xuanqing's neck was pierced, his chest torn open, and he couldn't speak, his mouth filled with blood.
He could only stare wide-eyed at the young man before him.
The young man emerged, bathed in blood, his purple glow gradually weakening. With a gentle flutter of his sleeves, the grayish-white armor disappeared.
He held the lance with utmost seriousness and focus.
"I... I seem to... have the upper hand."
Ke Xuanqing cried and laughed, his youthful face twitching.
A gentle purple light shone from his torn abdomen.
He had a father, and a mother.
Under the illumination of the purple pearl, scales rapidly appeared on his body, and his dragon form overflowed, his entire body swiftly expanding, and his limbs transforming into claws.
His ragged breathing grew heavier.
If not for the four guards consuming Shen Yi's foundation, perhaps he would have truly died here today.
But there were no such ifs in this world.
"Ha... Ha..."
"Give it to me! Die!"
A shrill voice echoed around the bay.
Just then, the purple pearl that had emerged at his heart was abruptly pushed back.
The opportunity for life that he had barely obtained, supporting his transformation, inexplicably dissipated.
Ke Xuanqing froze for a moment, then abruptly looked up at the sky, his eyes bloodshot: "Yan Xianqing, how dare you!"
Before he could finish speaking.
The lance struggled in resistance, but under Shen Yi's control, it cleanly and swiftly beheaded this Dragon Progeny.
"..."
Yan Xianqing stared at his slightly trembling hand in disbelief.
He... he had attacked the Dragon Progeny.
He had only thought of it, and yet, under his blank mind, he had actually done it?
"Cough."
Liu Shiqian quietly retracted his hand, having finished forming the hand seals.
Fortunately, Yan Xianqing's last action had made things easier for him, Liu Shiqian.
After all these years, he didn't want to go and apologize to the Sect Leader.
Having stayed in the sect for so long.
And the first thing he encountered upon leaving was such an intense event.
Perhaps it would be better to stay indoors more in the future.
