Chapter 294: Black Dragon King? Call Me Uncle
A hundred feet long dragon palanquin. What kind of concept was that?
Just the length of the palanquin alone was over 100 meters.
Meanwhile, the palanquin’s breadth was more or less equivalent to its length. The size of the thing was astounding.
If the nine Dragons were removed, and the dragon palanquin landed on the ground. It would become an instant small-scale luxury palace.
Also, every single one of those Black Dragons was really from the Black Dragon race.
Compared to Qi Shaoxuan’s six Flood Dragons, their powers were much more powerful.
Even more rare was the fact that those nine Black Dragons were well-versed in coordinated attacks. Their battle prowess would be magnified when they worked together.
Individually, those nine Dragons were at the Nascent Soul stage. But combined, they could tear apart even a Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable.
But this was not the most exceptional thing about that dragon palanquin.
The most extraordinary thing was its defense capabilities and speed.
When met with attacks by a really powerful foe, the array formation carved into the dragon palanquin would be activated.
By then, it would form a powerful protection array and ensure that the pa.s.sengers inside the palanquin would not come to any harm. It would then immediately flee at high speed.
If the dragon palanquin went at full speed, with the nine Black Dragons executing their secret move to add power to the palanquin, even a Sage might not be able to catch up.
Of course, it was not easy at all to create such a dragon palanquin.
Even in Black Dragon Island, which was full of riches and power, dragon palanquins of this grade were rare.
If not for the fact that they were welcoming Ao Bing back and letting all the sacred grounds in Eastern Wilderness witness Black Dragon Island’s might, Ao Ye would never deploy this dragon palanquin.
After all, those nine Black Dragons had to be paid too.
...
“Your Majesty, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is about 1,000 miles ahead. Going by our current speed, we should be arriving soon.”
Αn armored Divine Dragon Guard bowed respectfully οutside the dragon palanquin.
The door to the palanquin slowly opened, and a majestic, towering figure emerged.
There were a pair of dragon horns growing on the top of his head. They glowed and sparkled as if they could pierce through the skies.
Horns were one of the Dragons’ most powerful attack means.
Ao Ye stood there proudly and slowly shut his eyes.
“I can feel it—the suppressive feeling from our bloodline. Apart from a Rank-9 dragon bloodline, there is no other possibility. It is really her.”
After opening his eyes again, Ao Ye’s eyes glittered like the stars in the galaxy.
It was clear that he was very excited.
Ao Bing was his idol 10,000 years ago!
During that time, Ao Bing had been reigning over the battlefield, worshipped by all the prodigies of the various North Sea races. She was referred to as the “Female Warrior G.o.d”.
For a period of time, Ao Ye’s dream was also to dominate the world when he grew up. To become a “Female Warrior G.o.d” like his aunt.
After he grew up, he realized that one must be female first in order to be a “Female Warrior G.o.d”.
He was depressed for a while because of that.
Thereafter, Ao Bing had been sealed off by a Celestial World prodigy in the Primordial Battlefield.
Ao Ye had been very distressed and had made several risky trips to the Primordial Battlefield to look for his aunt.
It was a pity that Ao Bing had still been stuck in the cracks of s.p.a.ce and hadn’t reappeared in the Primordial Battlefield. It had been impossible to find her.
,000 years had since pa.s.sed, and his aunt was finally back. There was hope once again for the Black Dragon race!
As the current Black Dragon King, Ao Ye was overjoyed.
...
“Full speed ahead. All Dragons to increase their aura to the most powerful level. We must display our full dragon might to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!”
Ao Ye roared, and his body emitted an exceptionally powerful aura. The avatar of a giant Dragon appeared behind him briefly.
This dragon avatar was thousands of feet in height, and every single scale was shining with a dark sheen.
During that short moment when the dragon avatar appeared, it felt like s.p.a.ce was crumbling as a mighty aura erupted in all directions for miles and miles!
At that moment, all the demons in the area around the dragon palanquin shivered in fear.
They could feel a primal fear that originated from deep within their bloodlines. It was the fear that normal demons and beasts felt toward the Dragon race.
It wasn’t just Ao Ye. All eight Divine Dragon Guards also unleashed their auras.
The Divine Dragon Guards were the Black Dragon race’s elite warriors. Every single one of them was at the Soul Formation stage and above. Each was enough to dominate an entire region on their own.
The aura of eight Divine Dragon Guards unleashed and merged into one was as powerful as a Sage’s.
At that moment, the dragon palanquin was about 500 miles away from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Many people at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground could already feel the aura. They all gazed toward the north.
“What a powerful dragon aura. Are North Sea’s Dragons coming?”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader appeared in front of the Sacred Leader Mountain. He gazed afar toward the dragon palanquin, his heavenly aura rippling slightly.
“Ao Ye, that old mudfish. It has been several hundred years since I last saw him, but he is still so showy.”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was sitting on the barren Spirit Mountain. Skewered on his staff and roasting over a fire was a pigeon, which he had caught from goodness-knows-where.
He was adding condiments as he muttered to himself, “He better not be too arrogant. Otherwise, I will chop off some dragon tails to roast too.”
On Golden Lotus Mountain, a pair of lovely eyes gradually opened. “I finally stabilized my current level. Eh, what a powerful aura!”
Golden lotuses slowly bloomed as the graceful lady dressed in silver sashayed out.
Her smile was enough to bewitch countless disciples.
...
Roar!
An earth-shattering dragon roar echoed for thousands of miles.
The ma.s.sive dragon palanquin came to a stop at the entrance of the Divine Firmament Small World.
Ao Ye stepped out of the palanquin. He stood there regally in mid-air, surveying the surroundings. His gaze was like electricity piercing through everything.
“Where is the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader? Do excuse me for coming unannounced.”
Countless lightning bolts flashed in mid-air.
Half the sky was blocked off by the Black Dragons’ shadows, while the other half was filled with golden lightning.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader floated in mid-air, looking very mighty and powerful.
“The Black Dragon King has come. I apologize for not giving you a better welcome.”
Compared to the discreet skirmishes between the various sacred grounds, the relationship between the human and demon races was even tenser.
Their relations may have improved by quite a bit since the Evil Spirit invaded the five regions 10,000 years ago, but the prejudices that had been ingrained since the ancient times were not that easy to dispel.
Over the past thousand years, the human and demon races still had many things about each other which they loathed.
Just take the current Black Dragon King and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. They were by no means direct enemies, but they still had some grievances between them.
The Black Dragon King’s three sons were of the same generation as Chu Longhe and Zhang Longyuan. Due to some conflicts, they had gotten into their fair share of scuffles together.
In the end, Chu Longhe and Zhang Longyuan had barged their way into the North Sea and cut off the Third Dragon Prince’s tail, roasting it over a fire.
The Dragons had managed to regrow the Third Dragon Prince’s tail with their priceless herbs, so he was fine in the end.
But how could the Dragon race endure such a humiliating attack by the human race?
Having their tails cut off and roasted over a fire—it was an unbearable humiliation.
As a result, Black Dragon Island and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had quite a number of skirmishes between them over the past 10,000 years.
...
That young punk from that era had now become a Sage.
As an elder, the Black Dragon King naturally couldn’t help himself. He had to seek some justice on his son’s behalf.
Roar!
Rumble!
Black Dragon King Ao Ye and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader faced off, each keeping a dignified silence.
The entire surroundings now belonged to the Dragons and lightning. Tremendous waves of Sage-level aura washed over the area.
Yes, Ao Ye and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader were competing with each other!
“Never expected that it has just been a few hundred years, but that young punk managed to cultivate to such high levels!”
Feeling the expansive might of the lightning, Ao Ye shuddered on the inside.
I guess it’s not surprising that he defeated the Third Prince.
Nevertheless, as talented as he is, this kind of power is still not enough to suppress me!
The Black Dragon King’s face turned cold as he prepared to get serious.
He was going to show the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground who was boss. He wanted them to know that even if Ao Bing had chosen to sign a Dragon G.o.d contract with their Saint, it didn’t mean anything.
Correct your att.i.tudes and treat Aung Bing with the utmost respect. Otherwise, the Black Dragon Island will destroy you all!
This was the wrath of the Dragon race!
Just as Ao Ye was gathering his powers and preparing to display his might, the doors of the Saint Temple on Saint Mountain opened.
An extremely handsome youth emerged with a wicked-looking lolita in tow.
As high-level and powerful as Ao Ye was, he couldn’t help being taken aback when he saw the face of that youth.
In this world... There is actually... Someone who possesses such remarkable looks? Could this be the Divine Firmament Saint?
No wonder Aunt Bing, as proud as she is, was willing to sign a contract with him.
After all, Aung Bing is a sucker for good looks!
...
At that point, Ao Bing was carrying a big wine gourd.
Shen Tian had given it to her. She did look rather cute carrying it...
Looking at the dazed Ao Ye and feeling the instinctive sense of acknowledgment embedded deep within their bloodline, Ao Bing fell into deep thought.
After a long time, a mature and self-a.s.sured smile appeared on her childish face. “Are you Little Ye? Not bad! It’s been 10,000 years since we last met, and you have already become a Sage.”
As if having thought of something, Ao Bing dragged Shen Tian over to Ao Ye.
“Come, let me introduce the two of you.
“Shen Tian, this is my nephew Ao Ye. He is the current Black Dragon King. His powers are still pa.s.sable.
“Little Ye, this is my human partner. The Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian.
“According to the Dragon race’s seniority rules, you have to call him Uncle.”
Call him what!?
I am the Black Dragon King! I have to call this young punk Uncle!?
Ao Ye was completely dumbfounded as he looked at Shen Tian, who only looked like he was in his late teens.
He now realized why when he had asked his other brothers to come along to welcome Ao Bing, they had all declined with the excuse that they had other engagements.
Those scoundrels must have already realized this would happen. But they didn’t tell me!
d.a.m.n, I have been too careless!
...
Meanwhile, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura vibrated intensely upon seeing the stunned look on Ao Ye’s face.
To be honest, as the current Black Dragon King, Ao Ye was already the top pract.i.tioner across the five regions since 1,000 years ago.
Even the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would feel intense pressure when facing him.
Zhang Longyuan had been prepared to crack his knuckles and do his best to preserve the dignity of the sacred ground.
But now, there was no need for that at all.
Why? Because he had the upper hand now.
Shen Tian’s contract with Ao Bing gave him the same rank as Ao Bing, and Ao Ye had to call Shen Tian Uncle.
And Shen Tian was his disciple—didn’t this mean Ao Ye’s seniority was now two levels below Zhang Longyuan’s?
Looking at the tall, proud Black Dragon King, who had suddenly become his junior, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader suddenly felt like he was on the verge of an outburst.
No, I must hold it in!
I... I must maintain... my decorum...
Hehehehehehe!
