Chapter 84: Dragon Seizure Competition
Chapter 84: Dragon Seizure Competition
"Spare me, Your Majesty!"
Facing the legendary Supreme, they dared not act recklessly.
In legend, the Supreme's wrath could leave a thousand corpses in its wake.
It was only because a Supreme ruled over Sin City that they feared it so much.
But the terrifying might contained in that thunderous roar was headed straight for them.
"No!"
The five powerful individuals wanted to flee, but how could they withstand the thunderous blast?
The thunder struck their bodies, and they watched helplessly as their flesh turned to ash.
The five rulers of Blood City met their end.
"Pfft!" Ning Tao's small body was thrown into the air like a broken kite and landed far away.
Just the aftermath of this thunderous blast had severely injured her.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but a sweet smile graced her face: "Husband, are you warning me?"
"Only a powerful man is worthy of me, Ning Tao!"
"Husband, you still care for me. This primordial divine art has injured me, but it's also to help me better comprehend the Primordial Divine Art, right?"
Ning Tao's face was sweetly smiling, and she looked like a well-behaved little wife.
If Qi Yuan were here to hear Ning Tao's words, he would surely say, "Little beauty, your imagination is running wild."
Of course, what he didn't know was that the once-girlish girl was now older than him.
Meanwhile, on Seven Color Peak.
Qi Yuan was furious: "Damn game! Always having an NPC call me 'husband' and flirt with me, but not letting me play! I'm so mad!"
After his soul power increased significantly, he tried to force his way into the game.
However, as his consciousness approached the game icon, a powerful force pushed him back.
He could only curse loudly! At the same time, he also heard Ning Tao's thoughts, calling him 'husband'.
His curses were fierce.
"No way, I'll enhance my soul power and show this game who's boss!"
Qi Yuan began his cultivation.
Nearly two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Qi Yuan opened his eyes, gazing at the slight increase in his spiritual power, feeling speechless.
His strength was growing too slowly.
During these two months, Qi Yuan mainly cultivated the soul-enhancing technique, with the Qi Yuan Canon as a supplementary practice.
In these two months, he had tried many times to enter the game, but each attempt ended in failure.
He had also heard Ning Tao's voice seven times and responded four times, but he was too lazy to reply to the last three.
After all, in those last three instances, she didn't call him 'husband'.
It might not have been directed at him, and he didn't want to bother with Ning Tao's cold shoulder.
"Eldest Brother, the Dragon Seizure Competition is about to begin. You need to go out," Jiang Ling Su, transformed into a celestial cat fairy, called out to her senior brother.
"Okay," Qi Yuan glanced at his junior sister, who was wearing a slightly thick dress in the spring breeze, and stepped out of his wooden hut.
...
Glory City was once an ordinary mortal city under the Divine Light Sect.
However, over the past two months, the city had undergone a remarkable transformation.
Mortals often witnessed immortals flying in the sky.
Outside the city, a three-zhang-tall stone giant was seen carrying lumber and boulders, constructing a palace.
In less than two months, numerous palaces rose from the ground.
Outside Glory City, it was like a paradise for immortals.
Three streaks of light flashed across the sky, catching Qi Yuan's attention.
"The Great Shang Kingdom, once a mortal nation, has become a cultivator's paradise, largely due to the opening of the Dragon Heaven Realm in the capital," said the white-haired Kang Fulu, who was well-traveled and knowledgeable. "The Dragon Heaven Realm contains many treasures, and the Great Shang Kingdom rose to become the most powerful force within its borders by relying on these treasures."
Dong Xian listened to this, his heart unmoved.
The decline of the Great Shang Kingdom was inevitable.
He didn't have any intention of restoring its former glory.
For him, personal strength was what truly mattered.
"Recently, a second Dragon Heaven Realm was discovered outside Glory City, which is why this Dragon Seizure Competition is being held there." These pieces of information were not secrets, and Kang Fulu didn't bother explaining them to Qi Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan said, "So, this competition is not only about the throne but also the resources."
Qi Yuan was surprised that Glory City, so close to the Divine Light Sect, had its second Dragon Heaven Realm opened, which should have been entirely under the sect's control.
But Qi Yuan recalled that this sect seemed to have many issues.
So, it wasn't a significant problem.
The sect leader was a spy, and many elders and disciples had questionable backgrounds.
Even the sect leader's son-in-law, Kang Fulu, had minor issues.
Qi Yuan estimated that he was probably the only clean person in the entire sect.
"Our greatest enemies in this competition are threefold. First is the Crown Prince, backed by the Floating Mountain.
Second is the Seventh Prince, supported by the Desire Door.
And the third is the Eighteenth Prince, the youngest, backed by the Radiant Palace."
"The Radiant Palace?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up at the mention of it.
His white moonlight had arrived.
"The Radiant Palace has a deep background, originating from the Eastern Land. The one named Broken Wolf is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his intentions are not good. We must be cautious," Kang Fulu warned carefully.
Qi Yuan's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
The Great Shang Kingdom was too poor.
It was just a village-level power.
Until now, he hadn't encountered a single Profound Level Spell Art in the Great Shang Kingdom.
However, Zhu Lian Hua from the Radiant Palace, his first white moonlight, indeed came from a powerful place, carrying a Profound Level Spell Art.
The first White Moonlight had died in the Great Shang Kingdom, and now the second White Moonlight had arrived, undoubtedly with even greater strength.
This made Qi Yuan extremely eager to see what treasures she might possess.
...
"Cough, cough..." A man lay on the bed, his face pale. With each cough, he spat out fresh blood, unable to stop.
"Your Majesty," the Eighteenth Prince said, his expression filled with worry upon seeing his father's condition.
The coughing man was none other than the supreme ruler of the Great Shang Kingdom, the Emperor himself.
"Go now," the Empress said, her purple-gold gown exuding an air of authority. "Your father needs to rest."
The Eighteenth Prince, with great reluctance, eventually withdrew.
In the vast palace, only the Emperor and Empress of the Great Shang Kingdom remained.
"Zi Tong, during my seclusion for healing, you've shouldered the burden of governing the kingdom. I'm grateful for your efforts," the Emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom attempted to reach out and hold the Empress's hand.
Unexpectedly, the Empress rose and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest."
Without another word, she left.
She had another appointment to attend.
Naturally, she had no desire to linger with this puppet of an emperor.
"Cough, cough..."
Within the palace, the Emperor's coughing grew heavier, sounding even more pitiful.
Meanwhile, the Eighteenth Prince returned to his temporary palace in Glory City.
Before he could enter, he heard a woman's voice from inside the room.
His expression wavered between anger and despair.
The woman inside was his wife.
He stood outside, feeling like an eunuch.
At that moment, a mocking voice reached his ears.
"Eighteenth Prince, since you're back, come in. I prefer having you watch from the side."
Upon hearing this, the Eighteenth Prince immediately entered with his head lowered, a submissive smile on his face.
"Mr. Polang," he said.
Glancing around, he saw his wife on the bed, her eyes filled with emotion, half-covered in sheer silk.
Polang, already dressed, had eyes like a venomous snake, sharp and intense. "Well?" he asked.
The Eighteenth Prince, head still lowered, stammered, "My mother... she doesn't want to talk to me."
"Useless," Polang muttered under his breath, his disdain for the Eighteenth Prince growing.
But it was precisely because of their uselessness that they were easier to control.
"Since the Empress is unwilling to cooperate with our Bright Palace, we'll leave it at that for now," Polang said, a flash of displeasure in his eyes. Something crossed his mind, and he asked, "Have the people from the Divine Light Sect arrived?"
"They just arrived at the palace," the Eighteenth Prince replied, his head still lowered, his face filled with humility. But then, he spoke softly, "Mr. Polang, my brother, the Seventeenth Prince... he's in the Dragon Heaven Realm. Could you... spare him this time?"
The Seventeenth Prince was none other than Dong Xian.
Like the Eighteenth Prince, Dong Xian was also unfavored.
However, Dong Xian had always been kind to him, and they shared a close bond.
"For your sake, I'll spare his life," Polang said. "But the two from the Divine Light Sect, I must deal with them." As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Lianhua had died in the Great Shang Kingdom, slain by the Divine Flower Society.
For Polang, this was a humiliating disgrace.
His master had been the mastermind behind the plot against the Hundred Kingdoms.
If successful, his master's status within the Bright Palace would have greatly increased.
But Zhu Lianhua's death, which occurred near the Divine Light Sect, had not been anticipated.
Although the Divine Flower Society was responsible for the killing, the Divine Light Sect could not be completely absolved.
"Between the two from the Divine Light Sect, which one is stronger?" Polang asked, his mind turning.
"Kang Fulou is the stronger one," the Eighteenth Prince replied, having met Kang Fulou before and heard his lengthy self-introduction. "He's a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, son-in-law of the Divine Light Sect's leader, and a personal disciple of the Five Lights Peak's master."
The Great Shang Ten Paragons referred to the top ten young and talented Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Great Shang Kingdom.
"The Great Shang Ten Paragons?" Polang's eyes flashed with disdain.
He was a man who had ranked within the top seven hundred on the Eastern Land Young Talents List.
Naturally, he held no regard for the Great Shang Ten Paragons.
In his eyes, they were as good as dead with a single strike of his sword.
"Let's go; I have a friend who wants to enjoy himself, and he doesn't like having others around," Polang said, his voice cold.
The Eighteenth Prince obediently left, his face still bearing a sycophantic smile.
...
"Impressive, truly impressive. Even more luxurious than my Foundation Establishment cottage," Qi Yuan remarked as he stood in the palace.
Gazing at the golden cups and jade plates, he wished he could bring them back to Seven Color Peak.
Kang Fulou, however, remained calm and said, "We'll meet soon enough."
By now, representatives from all the sects had arrived.
All the princes had also gathered.
They needed to meet and then enter the Dragon Heaven Realm to begin the Dragon Seizure Competition.
Qi Yuan nodded, eagerly anticipating the encounter.
His White Moonlight, Polang, was about to arrive.
There was still some time before the meeting, and Qi Yuan felt bored.
After some thought, he extended his divine sense into the Divine Flower Society's jade slip.
He noticed that the Divine Flower Society's Four Divine Emperors' group chat had some interesting messages.
"I have good news to share. Today, I ranked 300th on the Eastern Land Minor Heroic Champions List," said the Rogue Immortal Venerable.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Senior, please take me under your wing!"
Everyone in the group chat responded.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel admiration for the Rogue Immortal Venerable.
After all, he himself was only a top ten village-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, while the others in the group chat were already kingdom-level heroes.
