"The soldiers of the Chaos Demon Ape have made their move!"
Luo Xian Di, in mid-flight, halted. He gazed at the shimmering imperial patterns on his hand, a unique method of communication within the Luo family. He carefully observed the frequency of the imperial patterns' flicker, then looked into the distance and said with a grave expression. A map flashed before his eyes, and he meticulously identified the location. With a step, he vanished into the sky, reappearing at the place where Tian Huang Xian Di had fallen. He knelt down, touching the marks on the ground, understanding the immense pain Tian Huang Xian Di must have endured before his demise.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, several figures materialized. They were Gu Yuan Xian Di and Mie Shi Xian Di. The two bowed slightly to Luo Xian Di, saying, "Luo Xian Di!"
"You also sensed the energy fluctuations here?" Luo Xian Di rose, his hands clasped behind his back, scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.
"Yes, tens of breaths ago, there were earth-shattering immortal energy fluctuations here. To prevent any accidents, we came to investigate," Mie Shi Xian Di said, glancing at Gu Yuan Xian Di.
"Tian Huang has fallen. It seems we have reached the core region. After the erosion of countless years, the terrain here has largely changed. Follow me!" As Luo Xian Di spoke, he moved forward. After about half an hour, the three separated and headed in three different directions.
Bang!
Elsewhere, Yuwen Chengdu shattered a remarkably hard stone wall with his bare hand, revealing a charred corpse. It was a human, with a sharp blade piercing through its head from the neck.
"It should be someone from the Luo family," Gao Chong said after examining the corpse. Just then, the corpse's eyes opened, and black flames spewed forth from the empty sockets, piercing its chest and then re-emerging.
"What the hell is this?"
Startled, Gao Chong and Yuwen Chengdu instantly retreated three zhang from the corpse. With a crack, the corpse half-sat up. Whoosh! A halberd's gleam swept through, cleaving the corpse's head open. The writhing black flames suddenly surged, forming a human face that roared at Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong. However, after moving two zhang forward, it suddenly disintegrated with a whoosh. The corpse that had half-sat up collapsed to the ground with a bang, and the blade lodged in its head also faded away. The corpse now looked ordinary, like that of a mortal, lying quietly there.
But Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong did not lower their guard, their eyes still fixed on the corpse.
"Screeeech—"
The cleaved head reassembled itself, opening a dark, cavernous mouth and roaring at Yuwen Chengdu and the other, like a tiger's roar that shook the mountains and forests!
"What in the world is this thing!"
"Destroy it!"
Gao Chong drew his long spear, and with a thunderous sound, his white spear intent pierced the corpse's head. The spear twirled and struck down, completely shattering the corpse. After the corpse was reduced to fragments, a passage appeared before them. After a long stare, the two cautiously crawled inside. Su Dan Novel Network
"Human aura!"
Tens of breaths later, Zhen Long Xian Di appeared before the cave entrance. Sensing the faint human aura flowing in the air, his face gradually contorted with ferocity. "You dare to destroy the hegemony of my four races? You court death!"
Boom!
With a resounding boom, he transformed into his true form and charged into the passage.
"Is this a statue?"
In the space connected by the passage, Yuwen Chengdu and Gao Chong observed a stone axe, about ten thousand zhang tall, before them. The ten-thousand-zhang stone axe was covered in cracks, devoid of any immortal energy fluctuations or imperial markings, appearing no different from an ordinary statue. It stood there silently.
"Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, the two instantly turned their heads, looking back the way they came. The path was filled with explosive blood energy and potent killing intent, dragon qi surging for miles, and golden light flowing in all directions. At this moment, a colossal celestial dragon appeared before them.
"Hahaha!"
With a long roar, the celestial dragon transformed into human form. It was Zhen Long Xian Di, a powerful figure from the Ancestral Dragon Hall – controlling seventy-two lines of imperial destiny!
Zhen Long Xian Di hovered in the air, holding the True Dragon Seal as if capturing an entire world, possessing a sense of gathering all bloodlines into one, immensely profound!
"True Dragon!"
Seeing Zhen Long Xian Di in human form, Yuwen Chengdu remarked. Beside him, Gao Chong's fighting spirit surged. Since his emergence, he had never battled a prodigy of this realm, unlike Yuwen Chengdu, who already had a reputation. Sensing the change in Gao Chong's aura, Yuwen Chengdu naturally understood. He nodded to Gao Chong. At this moment, Gao Chong gripped his Gold-Plated Tiger Head Spear. Wisps of immortal energy circulated, and behind him, a phantom resembling a white tiger materialized, exuding a white killing aura like the roaring eye of a vast volcano.
"How dare you!!"
"I am a paramount figure who controls a region of the Immortal Realm. Do mere ants dare to attempt to overturn hegemony!"
Seeing the fluctuations of Gao Chong's combat power, a thunderous roar erupted. Zhen Long Xian Di's seventy-two lines of imperial destiny floated behind him. He raised the supreme treasure, the True Dragon Seal, with one hand. Ten thousand dragons roared, and countless golden lights crisscrossed the heavens and earth. The name of True Dragon was the supreme glory pursued by billions of dragons, but this supreme glory was stripped away by powerful figures at the end of the冥海 (Minghai) Era, thereafter having no relation to the dragon race, becoming an exclusive title for the strongest. A dragon's cry emanated, suppressing towards Gao Chong!
"Hmm?"
"You are not worthy."
"Fight me, and let your ancestor come!"
With a dismissive glance at the roaring dragon might, Gao Chong was now a paramount Xian Di controlling seventy-four lines of imperial destiny. Zhen Long, with merely seventy-two, was not worthy of being Gao Chong's opponent. However, Gao Chong needed to use him to establish his might and announce his arrival. His eyes moved, revealing a sharp, unparalleled spear intent. White killing energy entwined around the spear tip. With a boom, a white spear light was thrust out by Gao Chong. The power of a paramount being was like a vast, surging Yangtze River. Especially the roar of the white tiger phantom, which shook the ten-thousand-zhang stone axe. Unbeknownst to the three beings, a thin layer of sand peeled off. At this moment, the thrusting spear light was overwhelmingly powerful. If this place were in the Immortal Realm, it could likely shatter an entire region! The aura of a paramount being roared, and the powerful spear light enveloped everything!
"Paramount being? You are a paramount being!!"
At the surging aura, Zhen Long Xian Di froze on the spot. The Immortal Realm was under their four races' control, and no being in the four regions of the Immortal Realm had ever reached the level of a paramount being. The strongest, whom he considered Cang Long Xian Di, only controlled sixty-nine lines of imperial destiny.
