Crack!
Under the pressure of the green Flood Dragon, which had assumed the human shape, pillars of water were raised in the lake that was a hundred meters wide.
Even the hard, weatherbeaten rocks on the mountaintop dropped a lot of broken pieces under the invisible pressure.
“I don’t think I can.”
Li Chunfeng, who was right in the center of the green Flood Dragon’s pressure, could hardly talk against the raging wind!
“However, I’d still like to have a try!”
He remained calm and poised as he stared at the green Flood Dragon on his opposite side.
As he talked, the golden book in his hand flew out and emitted a bright golden light like the sun, illuminating the entire mountaintop of the Dragon Peak.
Hum!
When the golden light spread out, an enormous black-and-golden illusionary compass that kept spinning appeared on the mountaintop!
The Heavenly Lake, the first layer of the compass, matched the Frigid Water perfectly.
Taiji generates two complementary forces, which are the world and the universe!
On the rocks around the Frigid Water, golden images that kept changing appeared under the illumination of the golden light.
They were the second layer of the compass—the Eight Trigram.
Further outside, some of the woods witnessed a quick shift of day and night and that of seasons. They withered and grew again quickly.
…
The sixth layer of the compass was the 24 solar terms.
The Beginning of Spring was the first solar term, and the Great Cold was the last one. All the solar terms in between were inferred and shown.
The seventh layer was the 72 dragons that penetrated the mountain!
The eighth layer was meant to separate the gold.
…
Every layer of the compass released a Transcendent power. Also, its coverage became wider and wider as it spread out.
The 28 Mansions in the last layer even stretched beyond the Dragon Peak. Golden Bull, Wooden Haitai, Starry Horse, Moon Fox, Water Ape…
Altogether, 28 Starry Beasts surrounded the compass in four directions and resonated with the Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array down below. As a result, the previously half-illusionary compass turned real from outside to inside!
“Roar!”
Boosted by all the unusual phenomena between the sky and the earth, the compass completely confined the green Flood Dragon in the center.
It had almost imposed layers of Transcendent shackles on it and suppressed the horrifying vibe on the green Flood Dragon, nearly making it disappear!
[Golden Compass]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-3]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: Dragon City’s Master personally crafted this compass at the cost of ten tons of gold and a Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice, Transcendent Silver Liquid, Ice Dragon Stone, and other materials. The Yin Dragon Jade Seal and the Taming Compass have been fused into it. It can adjust the terrain of the Dragon Peak and awaken the sleeping dragon soul!]
After some time of practicing, Li Chunfeng achieved Transcendent Rank-2, just like Zhao Yun did.
The Golden Compass on the Dragon Peak was the best Transcendent treasure that Ji Ye could craft so far.
Also, it had been continuously enhanced by feng shui power for months when Li Chunfeng sat here and didn’t do anything else.
Now that it had been finally deployed, it was indeed surprisingly powerful.
Even the Transcendent Rank-3 green Flood Dragon was still suppressed by the Golden Compass!
“So, you already made arrangements… Makes sense. I can tell that this mountain was transformed from a dead True Dragon, and some of its remains are still inside this mountain…
“For human beings, the remains of a True Dragon are ultimate treasures. It’s only natural that you set up defenses!”
However, under the pressure of all sorts of Transcendent powers, the green Flood Dragon didn’t seem scared even though it could hardly move.
Instead, it grinned, showing its pointy teeth, and spoke to Li Chunfeng in the human language.
“However, did you really think you can stop me with these arrangements?”
Hardly had the green Flood Dragon said that when an intense light burst out of its body and cut apart the nearest shackle like a saber.
Then, it abandoned the human form and resumed its original shape.
Crack!
After transforming into a Flood Dragon, the green Flood Dragon became even stronger. The remaining seventeen shackles of the Golden Compass were all deformed when its size expanded.
The 28 Mansions at the periphery even exploded at the same time.
The power was even greater than Transcendent Rank-3 and contained qualitative changes!
The green Flood Dragon was Transcendent Rank-4, not Rank-3!
Also, it was not clearly as reckless and short-tempered as its projection had behaved before Ji Ye destroyed it. Rather, it was quite cunning and cautious.
Even though it was stronger than any of the heroes in Dragon City, it had been hiding its real strength the whole time. The green Flood Dragon that stopped Ji Ye was just a clone, and the Transcendent Rank-3 green Flood Dragon that was fighting Li Yuanba in the sky was another clone.
Furthermore, this green Flood Dragon, which had snuck to the dragon peak by pretending to be a rock and unleashed Transcendent Rank-4 power, might not be its true self either.
“You’re truly remarkably strong!
“However, I do not think I’ve failed.”
Faced with the green Flood Dragon, which had revealed its true appearance and real power, Li Chunfeng still didn’t seem surprised.
He simply closed his fingers, and the golden book that floated in midair suddenly dimmed.
Then, a golden light radiated from him and transformed into a bright golden dragon several meters long that carried a Transcendent vibe. It fell into the Frigid Water and stopped exactly at the Hand of Earth at the center of the compass!
“Roar!”
Then, the little golden dragon roared at the green Flood Dragon, raising a tide in the Frigid Water.
“Huh? A Yin Dragon? Is this your trump card?
“However, do you really think you can stop me with a Yin Dragon that doesn’t even have self-consciousness?”
The green Flood Dragon spoke telepathically with obvious disdain.
The little transparent dragon was indeed in the Transcendent level.
However, it was only Transcendent Rank-1.
Also, it was merely a Feng Shui Yin Dragon that didn’t have any self-awareness and could be easily broken.
“Indeed, this Yin Dragon that’s transformed from the Dragon Aura in the Feng Shui Imperial Jade Seal is no match for you at all.
“However, this Yin Dragon isn’t deployed for you. It’s for something inside the mountain that you’re seeking too!”
Li Chunfeng shook his head.
“This mountain was transformed from a dead True Dragon.
“The True Dragon is dead but its body is indestructible. After a long time, it can be transformed into the True Dragon Terrain in feng shui.
“If the True Dragon Terrain is fused with the fate of a country and assisted by the development of the country, it might turn back into a living dragon again for the achievement. It’s just like the rebirth technique of the phoenixes!”
“Roar!”
Almost exactly at the same time when Li Chunfeng stopped talking, the entire Dragon Peak trembled heavily, and a loud and intimidating dragon roar came from inside the mountain!
Hum!
At the same time, the Celestial Globe near the Frigid Water suddenly glowed and sent a streak of light to the sky.
The pouring rain was suddenly driven away, and even the clouds were penetrated too, showing the sun behind.
Boom!
Meanwhile, the Celestial Seismograph in the City Master’s Residence emanated a yellow light too.
Following that, the land of Dragon City began to tremble, and the rocks on the Dragon Peak were moving. The terrain was changed.
“I’ve changed the terrain of the Dragon Peak with the Celestial Globe and Seismograph. The feng shui here is turned from ‘Hidden Dragon in the Abyss’ into ‘Trapped Dragon to the Sky’. I’ve also used the Dragon Aura that’s extracted from the Yin Dragon Jade Seal as bait.
“The True Dragon’s soul that’s hidden inside the mountain, thinking that its moment has come and fearing that its opportunity might be stolen by an impersonator, will definitely come out.”
What happened was exactly what Li Chunfeng described.
“Roar!”
Soon, accompanied with an intimidating roar, a black-and-golden dragon, which seemed real and had scales that looked as precious as if made of dark gold, leaped from the Frigid Water, showing an honorable, splendid, and lofty vibe in the sunlight after the dark clouds dispersed!
[True Dragon’s Heritage]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-4]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Description: This is the heritage of a Legendary True Dragon after it perished. When the right opportunity comes, it may turn back into a dragon.]
In particular, not only did this “dragon heritage” have a condensed golden body, but there was also a red heart in its chest. The red light that the heart released was even more eye-catching than the golden light on its body.
“It’s… a True Dragon Heart. What a pleasant surprise!”
The green Flood Dragon, having regained the dragon form, seemed surprised and delighted!
Originally, it had come to this place to seek revenge against Ji Ye. However, after it approached Dragon City, it sensed something more precious on the Dragon Peak.
That was why it created a clone and snuck to the place secretly!
It thought that there was just some heritage or remains of the True Dragon here. It had never expected to see a True Dragon Heart.
Also, because the heart had been covered by the Thousand-Year Ice, it was well preserved, and there was even fresh dragon blood flowing in it.
If the green Flood Dragon could swallow it, it would definitely grow much stronger.
It would even have a chance to become a True Dragon!
“Huh?”
The green Flood Dragon, in its excitement, suddenly sensed that something was lunging at itself.
“Roar!”
It turned around and bit the attacker in its mouth. Then, it found that the attacker was the Transcendent Rank-1 Yin Dragon!
“What are you doing?”
Realizing that something wasn’t right, the green Flood Dragon quickly turned around and looked at Li Chunfeng.
“Did you forget what you said just now?
“This Yin Dragon is truly ‘bait’ to lure the True Dragon to come out, but it’s really too lousy. It isn’t even strong enough for you, so the True Dragon won’t consider it a big deal!
“However, while the Yin Dragon is weak, you’re much stronger than it.
“Now that you’ve attacked and killed the Yin Dragon and looted its dragon aura, isn’t it a sign that you’re competing with the True Dragon’s Heritage over the opportunity to become a True Dragon?”
Li Chunfeng looked at the green Flood Dragon with a vague smile.
While Li Chunfeng talked, the True Dragon’s Heritage in the sky already glanced at them.
“Roar!”
The Frigid Water exploded after the dragon roar.
Numerous cracks that were as wide as fingers appeared at its edge in the shape of spider webs.
It must be noted that the Mystic Iron Ores lay at the edge of the Frigid Water. They were as hard as Extraordinary weapons even without any processing.
Yet they could not even resist the soundwaves of the True Dragon’s Heritage.
The sky, which had turned sunny a while back, was filled with dark clouds again, and a thunderstorm was brewing as if it were doomsday!
