"Who are you? How dare you impersonate my son!"
Seeing that the golden dragon had not only reduced his Remnant Will into a painting, it had even taken away half of his savings, not leaving him with the slightest chance of survival, the Dragon Emperor's face darkened.
With his eye of discernment, he could tell that the person before him was not Xiao Shi but someone else in disguise.
While he was observing the other party, Su Yin was doing the same as well.
The strongest expert of the Ancient Era was just as the legends said. He had nine dragon claws and golden scales all over his body, and he emanated an oppressive aura reminiscent of the heavens. Anyone who got close to him would find it difficult to breathe.
The proverb 'Unpredictable Might of the Heavens' referred to this!
The Dragon Emperor had ruled the lands for many years, subdued all beasts, and even survived the Five Decay of the Celestial Realm. His aura was not something that Crown Prince Xiao Shi, the Great Beast King, or even Cang Qiong, could match up to.
It was not that Cang Qiong was weak, but he cultivated the Great Oblivion, so he did not have much desire for authority. Even though he was the strongest expert of the Ancient Era, he had never unified the Celestial Realm, so he did not possess the oppressive aura that came from controlling the Myriad Worlds.
"If the Dragon Emperor is already so powerful even when he isn't at his peak, just how powerful would he be when he was at his peak?"
Su Yin was astonished.
To be able to seal himself and avoid the calamity, the Dragon Emperor's cultivation must have been damaged. Even the bubbles that he had created earlier were part of the energy that he had intentionally released.
Even so, the Dragon Emperor was still able to exert such pressure on him. The strongest expert of the Ancient Era was indeed powerful.
"What's wrong? You dare to steal my things, but you don't dare to admit your identity?"
The Dragon Emperor bellowed furiously upon seeing the other party staring at him without saying a word.
"Hehe!"
With a smile, Su Yin morphed into Cang Qiong's appearance. He drove the Heaven's Monarch Path in his body, making him appear cold and emotionless.
In an instant, he bore a striking resemblance to Cang Qiong, such that even Xue Qianqiu would find it hard to tell him apart.
"Junior Cang Qiong pays respect to Your Majesty …"
While Zhang Xuan spoke, his hands did not stop moving. He grabbed the Lingering Will and placed it into the Golden Crow Lifebound Flame to purify it.
It was difficult for Zhang Xuan to temper the Dragon Monarch's will with his own strength, but it was different with the help of his Natal Flame. This flame was so powerful that it could even burn space itself. In less than two breaths, the severely injured Remnant Will was unable to hold on any longer, and it became extremely pure.
"You're courting death …"
Seeing that the other party was still trying to assimilate his Lingering Will even after he had awakened, the Dragon Emperor flew into a rage. He leaped into the air and raised his golden claws to grab the door.
Boom!
The Divine Beast Diagram continued to shake. The Weak Water in the void could not withstand the pressure and stopped flowing.
The void of the Beast Court also seemed to have sensed his fury. Layer after layer of space dissipated and disappeared.
Su Yin's mouth twitched.
He had nearly been killed when he touched the Divine Beast Diagram, and he had only managed to survive with the help of the firecrackers. Yet, not only was Zhang Xuan unscathed by such a powerful artifact, he even managed to subdue it with the help of the firecrackers.
That was too scary!
Previously, he already knew that Zhang Xuan was strong, but he did not expect Zhang Xuan to be so strong.
"Refine!"
Knowing that time waits for no one and that the other party could break through the door at any moment, Su Yin immediately collected the purified Remnant Will into his glabella and converted it into his own soul.
In the blink of an eye, an extremely vast power filled his entire body. The Dry Origin World, which had already absorbed more than half of the Dry Origin World, began to expand at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In the short span of three breaths, he had already fused 95% of it!
Whoosh!
The Dry Origin World came to a halt once more.
Even though the Remnant Will had been greatly nourished, it was still slightly weaker than before. He was still one step away from reaching consummation Soul Melder realm.
In other words, he was already infinitely close to reaching Soul Melder realm, but he was still a half-step away from it.
"What a pity …" Su Yin sighed helplessly. "Forget it. Nothing is perfect!"
Knowing that nothing in the world was perfect, Zhang Xuan tossed aside his disappointment and looked at the door before him once more.
The massive Divine Beast Diagram had already been torn apart by the rampaging Dragon Monarch, and the seal that isolated the Heavens had also begun to crack.
Knowing that the Dragon Monarch had regained his senses and that the door would not be able to hold on for too long, Su Yin laughed heartily. "You are the strongest expert of the Ancient Era, and I am the strongest expert of the current era. Farewell!"
Hu!
The Dao of Time appeared, and Zhang Xuan turned around to flee.
The Dragon Monarch had thought that Zhang Xuan would fight him after hearing him say that he was the strongest expert of the Ancient Era. Who would have thought that Zhang Xuan would flee right away?
Were all the juniors nowadays so cowardly?
Could they not be more shameless?
"Fight me if you dare! Let me see how strong the strongest expert of the current era is!"
The Dragon Monarch's massive body charged toward the Divine Beast Diagram once more.
Weng!
The surging power was like the waves of the Qiantang River. Even though there was a bank blocking it, there were still powerful aftershocks that surged out. The collision caused the long river of time to continuously collapse. The surrounding void collapsed layer by layer, as if it would be unable to withstand it at any time and become turbulent.
Su Yin's scalp tingled.
If the Dragon Monarch was already so powerful before he even came out, wouldn't he be unable to withstand a single claw from him once he escaped from the Divine Beast Diagram?
Despite the shock in his heart, Zhang Xuan's expression did not change at all. As he fled, he shouted, "If you want to fight me, come to the Firmament Sacred Land!"
While fleeing, Zhang Xuan executed a fist art.
His powerful strength, supported by the Heavenly Monarch Road, piled up into layers of space, as if they were layers of heaven.
He was imitating the Thirty-Three Skies. Even though it did not look like it, the Dragon Monarch might not be able to tell that it was fake through the Divine Beast Diagram.
The shockwaves from the collision of the Thirty-Three Skies and the Dragon Monarch's gate canceled each other out. Su Yin's figure blurred, and he vanished from the spot.
"Firmament, I'll remember you!"
The Dragon Monarch did not think that he, who had dominated the Ancient Era, would be toyed with by a junior. He was furious, but he quickly regained his rationality.
Every era had its own formidable figures. Just from the fact that Zhang Xuan was able to find his hiding spot, he could tell that the other party was no ordinary person.
Most likely, he had gathered the fortune of an entire era.
"To disguise himself as the crown prince and use his blood to open the seal … Could Shi 'er have been killed?"
The Dragon Monarch narrowed his eyes.
A moment later, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He could sense that Crown Prince Xiao Shi and the Great Beast King were safe and sound. However, it seemed like they were fighting with someone else, so they were unable to come to him.
"Devour!"
With a deep bellow, the vitality and energy that the Beast Hall had absorbed gathered toward him. In the blink of an eye, it had already fused into his body.
With this energy, his scales shone even brighter than before. Even though his cultivation had yet to recover, the ancient aura in his body had been cleansed significantly.
Instead of looking like he would die at any moment, he was brimming with vitality.
"So, I've been hibernating for fifty thousand years … A new era has arrived. Whether I can transcend or not depends on this!"
After assimilating so much energy into his body, he was already aware of the vicissitudes of life.
"Let's go!"
The Dragon Monarch clawed at the gate once more, and after a dozen consecutive strikes, the gate finally reached its limit and shattered.
Hu!
With a flick of his finger, another River of Time appeared, and the massive Dragon Monarch swiftly swam forward.
Everyone knew that the Dragon Monarch's cultivation was unparalleled, but they did not know that his mastery of the Way of Time was on par with that of the Great Beast King.
…
"That was close!"
Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that he had managed to escape in time. Otherwise, given his current strength, he would have surely been killed by the Dragon Monarch.
"It's a pity that my soul is just a little bit away from fully fusing with the Heaven Origin World …"
Even though it was only 5% away, it would take at least a hundred years for him to do so. Unless … he could find a World Monarch realm expert or a weapon that was on par with him.
It was just that such experts and weapons were simply too rare in the Celestial World!
"I wonder how their battle is going …"
Zhang Xuan's footsteps came to a halt.
While he was traveling along the River of Time, he had seen Firmament, the Great Beast King, and the others fighting. He wondered if he could make use of this opportunity to reap some benefits.
Zhang Xuan concealed himself in the void and returned to the area where the battle was taking place. As expected, the battle was still going on, and everyone had sustained significant injuries.
Firmament and the Yellow Springs were in a slightly wretched state. They had lost their composure from before. The Battle Sage and the Martial Sage were covered in blood, and a part of their Green Dragon Crescent Blade had been shattered.
As for Xue Qianqiu, who was maintaining the River of Time, his injuries were even more severe. Many of his arms were broken, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth. Countless tears had appeared on his clean white robes, and he was no longer as dashing as before.
Prince Xiao Shi and the Great Beast King weren't in a good state either. The former's dragon scales were shattered, and two of his claws were broken. The latter's tail was also bald, and his fur was slightly burnt. A thick smell of meat wafted from him.
The Firmament Saint, who had broken through, was now the strongest expert in the group. Even the Dragon God's Whip wasn't a match for him.
"As expected of the Martial Sage and Battle Sage geniuses who only appear in battles …"
Su Yin sighed after watching for a while.
The two of them had also broken through during the battle. They had both reached the half-step World Fusion Realm, and their strength wasn't much different from the Prince's.
The battle between the two sides was still ongoing.
Knowing that the Firmament Saint and the others could only unleash their strength in a high-intensity battle, Prince Xiao Shi and the Great Beast King exerted their strength with all their might. The Coiling Dragon Pillar roared as it smashed down on the Battle Sage who had just broken through.
Before the Battle Sage could consolidate his cultivation, he felt the space above his head being compressed into a pancake. He flung the War Flag in his hand, and a glorious battlefield was formed.
The two sides clashed, and the world rumbled. Under the intense explosion, the two artifacts trembled slightly. It seemed like their artifact spirits had suffered great damage, and they would be destroyed at any moment.
Both sides suffered great losses!
"This is a good chance!" Su Yin's eyes lit up.
The Coiling Dragon Pillar was the pillar that the Ancient Beast Court used to support the sky. Even though he had used the Turtle Feet to suppress the four poles of the Dry Origin World, there was nothing in the middle to support it, so it wasn't too stable. If he could obtain this item, his fighting prowess would increase by another level.
As for the War Flag, it was an artifact that attacked the soul. It could fuse with the soul, and he could break through the final 5% and successfully fuse with the soul!
In other words, these two artifacts would be of great help to him, and he had to obtain them no matter what.
In any case, the Prince Xiao Shi wanted to kill him, and the Martial Sages and Battle Sages had tried to harm him.
However …
With his current strength, it was unlikely that he would be able to pull the fangs out of the tiger's mouth if he didn't have the means to do so.
The only way he could do so was to numb the enemy so that they wouldn't attack him for the time being. As long as he could hold on for two breaths, he would be able to retrieve the artifacts and make his escape.
"Let's do it then!"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered as an idea crossed his mind. His figure shuddered as he turned into a giant golden dragon. His aura rose rapidly, as if he was suppressing the four poles and intimidating the world.
The Dragon Emperor!
He was planning to disguise himself as the Dragon Emperor to scare the enemy.
Hu!
The flowing River of Time came to a stop as Su Yin flew out from the rift. His eyes were as cold as ice.
After absorbing the soul energy of almost fifty bubbles, his aura, expression, and soul were exactly the same after he executed the Taiji Pattern. Even the Great Beast Emperor was unable to tell the difference.
That being said, he would be exposed as soon as he made a move. Su Yin was betting that Cang Qiong and the others wouldn't dare to make a move for the time being!
"The … the Dragon Emperor?"
As expected, upon seeing the massive dragon, Cang Qiong, Huang Quan, and the others immediately took a few steps back warily.
Initially, they were evenly matched, but the appearance of the Dragon Emperor had changed everything.
"Father …"
Seeing that his father had awakened before he could activate the Dragon Emperor, a hint of doubt flashed across Crown Prince Xiao Shi's eyes. However, it was quickly replaced by excitement.
Now that his father had awakened, the situation had stabilized. As long as he could kill all of them, the Dragon Tribe would be able to conquer the Myriad Worlds once more.
"Un, good child. You've done well! I can see that the Coiling Dragon Pillar is slightly damaged, so I'll reforge it for you! "
With a cold expression, Su Yin arrived above the crowd and looked at Crown Prince Xiao Shi coldly.
"Thank you, father!"
Crown Prince Xiao Shi tossed the Coiling Dragon Pillar over. Su Yin caught it expressionlessly before storing it into the Origin Energy Orb to suppress it. Following which, he turned around abruptly and bellowed, "How dare you hurt my son! How dare you …"
Hula!
Before he could finish his words, he had already made a grabbing motion toward Battle Sage.
This time, he didn't use any martial techniques or artifacts. Instead, he released his domain that had fused with his soul. Together with the pressure from the Dragon Emperor's soul, he tore through the shackles of space and appeared above Battle Sage.
She didn't expect the Dragon Emperor to target her first. The Battle Sage's scalp went numb, and her body shrank back in fear. She took out the War Flag again, and at the same time, the Martial Sage beside her also swung his long blade. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which had a piece of it destroyed, slashed forward.
The two of them shared the same fate. Since one of them was attacked, the other wouldn't just stand by and watch.
At this moment, Cang Qiong and Huang Quan made a move as well.
They wanted to see how strong the Dragon Emperor was.
Su Yin's scalp turned numb. He sent a thought to Crown Prince Xiao Shi and the Great Beast King, "I haven't recovered yet, so I won't be able to deal with the four of you. Take this opportunity to attack Cang Qiong and Huang Quan. I'll kill Battle Sage and Martial Sage first!"
"Alright!"
Although they were confused, it was indeed the best time to kill the other party. Crown Prince Xiao Shi and the Great Beast King didn't waste any time and charged forward.
The Dragon God Whip carried the rage of millions of Dragon Race experts. The Great Beast King opened his mouth and an hourglass flew out and smashed down.
Life Treasure, Hourglass of Time!
What flowed inside was the eternal sand of time.
With the two experts joining the battle, Cang Qiong and Huang Quan couldn't be bothered to deal with Su Yin.
Su Yin who was disguised as the Dragon Emperor let out a sigh of relief and swept his thick tail.
Whoosh!
At that instant, the Primal Qi Orb, Blackie, Little Wu, the Blissful Demon King, the True Dragon Sword, and the firecracker — the six Realm Overlords — surged into his body and slashed at the attacks of the Martial Sacred and Battle-Sacred.
Kacha!
Time and space were destroyed. The Battle Sage and Martial Sage's faces turned pale as they quickly retreated.
Although they had improved a lot after entering the Beast Court, they were still far from Su Yin. Adding on the fact that they were heavily injured, how could they withstand the attacks?
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the War Flag whimpered at the same time. Su Yin grabbed them and sent them into the Yuan Qi Pearl to be suppressed. The surging energy blew the two away, causing them to spit out blood.
"Teacher, come with me!"
A third hand grew out from her back. Taking advantage of the fact that the Battle Sage was injured and distracted, she silently grabbed him.
In the next moment, Song Yu, who was kept in the treasure, disappeared and was kept in the Yuan Qi Pearl.
Although it was kept inside, it wasn't enough to make her teacher suffer the wrath of a Battle Sage.
Not only did he get the War Flag, he also got the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Su Yin let out a sigh of relief. His body flashed and he appeared in front of the Great Beast King, "Let me help you!"
He raised his claws and smashed down on Cang Qiong.
"Alright!"
Seeing that His Majesty had dealt with the Battle Sage and Martial Sage so quickly, the Great Beast King heaved a sigh of relief. Following which, he felt a sharp pain in his bottom.
He turned around abruptly, only to see that the Dragon Emperor, who had joined forces with him, had a longsword in his hand. The longsword had plunged straight into his buttocks, creating a huge hole. A large patch of fur and bones had also been sliced off.
At the same time, a bamboo pole struck the Xiao Shi Crown Prince's claws, slicing them off on the spot.
The 'Dragon Emperor' before them took advantage of their unguarded state to launch a sneak attack!
"You aren't the Dragon Emperor …"
The Great Beast King wasn't the only one who was frenzied. The Xiao Shi Crown Prince also realized what was going on, and he was on the verge of going berserk!
At this moment, even a fool would know that they had fallen into a trap.
"My obedient son, you are indeed smart. My father is Su Yin!"
With a chuckle, Su Yin reverted back to his original appearance. With a wave of his hand, he kept the fur and claws into the Yuan Qi Pearl. Then, he turned around and bellowed, "Cang Qiong, what are you all waiting for? It wasn't easy for me to convince them, and this is the moment I was waiting for!"
"This …"
Cang Qiong and the others were still in a daze when they heard Zhang Xuan's words. They roared furiously and charged forward.
The Great Beast King and the Xiao Shi Crown Prince, who were intending to drag Su Yin down with them, realized that it was already too late for them to retaliate.
Their scales flew everywhere, and fresh blood spurted from their mouths.
"Let's go!"
Su Yin knew that if he didn't leave now, he would surely become the target of everyone's ire. Chuckling, he drew out a River of Time and leaped right in.
"Where do you think you're going? Stay here …"
At this moment, a furious roar sounded from behind. Xue Qianqiu, who hadn't made a move on Zhang Xuan, had actually blocked his path.
He didn't care about others, but he and this person were absolutely irreconcilable. No matter what, he couldn't allow this person to leave so easily.
"This …"
Frowning, Su Yin was taken aback.
Could it be that this fellow … had some extra treasures that he wanted to give to him?
Just that … how could he accept it?
