The man with golden hair squinted as he looked around, exuding an extremely powerful aura as golden Blood Qi roiled and rushed out of his body like a patch of golden divine sea, looking very mighty.
Xuese Lianyi’s eyes sharpened as his gaze was locked onto the man with golden hair, and for a moment dared not act rashly.
“Ao Xukong.”
Three words appeared slowly out of Xuese Lianyi’s mouth.
Who was Ao Xukong? He was the top powerhouse beneath a Supreme Saint of the Skydragon Realm, and his true form is a five-clawed gold dragon of the Divine Dragon clan, and had the strongest bloodline nad body, and was perfect in every aspect.
So, even the notorious Fatal Seven of the Fane of the Nether dared not treat Ao Xukong with the slightest contempt.
Xuanming Wushang’s eyes swept across the five massive warships and said faintly. “Ao Xukong, The Jinyang Twin Kings, the four ancient civilizations and the Skydragon Realm sure came well prepared. So what now? Want to fight right now?”
As soon as those words came out, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply as both sides faintly showed a tense atmosphere.
“What’s the point of killing each other without any gain? Without your sacrifice, Xuanming Wushang, you may as well worry about how to break the forbidden formation of the True Dragon Island.” Ao Xukong smiled faintly.
As he said that, Ao Xukong’s figure flickered and reappeared on the Thousand Star civilization’s warship.
“Brother, you are always late.” Fairy Linglong shook her head helplessly.
Ao Xukong said. “I’m not late, and arrived just at the right time. Forget that, get the warships to retreat first, away from the True Dragon Island.”
“Why?” the Supreme Master asked curiously.
Heavenly Scion Yanyang frowned slightly, saying. “Our four ancient civilizations and your Skydragon Realm have many powerhouses within, why should we be afraid of the Infernal Court army?”
He had just in a tit-for-tat confrontation with the Fatal Seven earlier, and if he were to retreat now, where does his honor lies?
“You lot are taking the True Dragon Island way too simply. Should the forbidden formation here erupts, even a Supreme Saint would be killed easily. The Infernal Court army is determined to get the key so even without the sacrifice of the dragons, they will undoubtedly launch an attack, and the results will be unpredictable.” Ao Xukong said very seriously.
Clearly, Ao Xukong understood the situation of the True Dragon Island better than anyone else. Retreating at this time was just so they were not caught in the aftermath.
Heavenly Scion Yanyang said. “If the Infernal Court cannot break the formation of the True Dragon Island, does it mean we should also give this operation up?”
“If the Infernal Court fails, then we indeed do not have any reason to stay here any longer.” Ao Xukong said.
Heavenly Scion Yanyang said rather emotionally. “There are countless treasures kept by the Divine Dragons of Kunlun Realm in the Shenlong Temple for hundreds of millions of years. The Sun-Moon Dragon Spring, The Dragonform Grass, the Divine Dragon Enlightenment Chamber. According to legends, the temple even have King’s Grade and Emperor Grade elixirs in it. Don’t you want it?”
Hearing this, many present showed a look of want, all of the things Heavenly Scion Yanyang said were all extremely precious, and even a Supreme Saint would be eager to get their hands on them.
Of course, no one lost their minds because of this. While there were plenty of treasures in the Shenlong Temple, but they need to be alive to retrieve them.”
“Retreat first, we can talk about the rest later.” Ao Xukong said solemnly.
As he spoke, Ao Xukong directly issued an order to the Skydragon Realm warship.
Seeing the Skydragon Realm warship started moving and quickly retreating into the thick black fog, the four other ancient civilizations no longer hesitated. At this moment, they naturally need to advance and retreat together, and not allow the Infernal Court army to pick them apart one by one.
And seeing the warships of the four ancient civilizations and Skydragon Realm retreat, the Infernal Court did not intercept them either. Their goal was to break into the True Dragon Island, and take all of the treasures inside it, the key to the World Gate included, and there was no need for any other distractions.
As for the fact that the four ancient civilizations and Skydragon Realm wanting to take advantage after they break the formation, that depends if the former having the ability to do so.
“The time has come for the change in the cycle. Act now, and break into the True Dragon Island.
The Son of Darkness’ deep voice sounded again.
At this moment, an extremely powerful power of darkness radiated out of one of the warships.
Compared the power of darkness from the other Infernal Court powerhouses, this one was inherently much more terrifying and could devour things, even light would be devoured when it got close.
The power of darkness reverbrated, and a slightly thin figure slowly appeared.
It was at this moment, the Son of Darkness finally revealed his true form. From his appearance, he looked no different from a normal human, and looked less than twenty years old with a very handsome face.
The most eye-catching thing was the pair of black eyes of the Son of Darkness, it was extremely deep, like two black holes that could swallow everything into it.
“Son of Darkness, the peerless genius of the Fane of Darkness, he sure lives up to his name.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes sharpened as he focused on the Son of Darkness.
In his eyes, the Son of Darkness looked like he almost fused with darkness, and was a literal darkness incarnate.
For the Son of Darkness, Zhang Ruochen only had a single evaluation in his heart, that the former was unfathomable.
As a master of the Eternal Paths, Zhang Ruochen could tell that the Son of Darkness had cultivated the Path of Darkness into a very astonishing degree.
In terms of the level reached in the Eternal Paths, Zhang Ruochen had not seen anyone stronger than the Son of Darkness, himself included.
RAAAWRRR!
Following a dragon’s roar that shook the heavens, a bone dragon thousands of miles long flew out of one of the Infernal Court’s warship.
Unlike the other powerhouses of the Bone Clan, this bone dragon did not exude the slightest Yin Qi or aura of darkness, but on the contrary, it appeared extremely sacred, each of its dragon bone crystal clear like an emerald.
His identity was extremely astonishing, and was one of the three emperors of the Bone Clan, Emperor Lieyan.
“Emperor Lieyan’s bones are the remnants after the fall of a Supreme Saint divine dragon, so it is so huge. The toughness of every dragon bone in his body was stronger than a King’s Weapon, and its strength is even more majestic. There was no need for him to rely on any saint arts as he could run rampant just using his body alone.”
“According to the rumors, Emperor Lieyan had encountered a great opportunity, and was baptized by the Water of the Vajra, and had washed away all of the Yin Qi on his body, making his bone body like emerald. He had also mastered the power of the Vajras that was comparable to the Eternal Paths, and is an odd one out among the Bone Clan.”
“In fact, not only Emper Lieyan, both Emperor Soulrend and Emperor Mieyuan also received the baptism of the Water of the Vajra, mastering the power of the Vajra. It was because of this the three of them could become emperors in the Bone Clan.”
Ao Xinyan’s tone was gloom as there was a faint trace of fear in her eyes.
After dealing with the Infernal Court for so many times, Ao Xinyan undoubtedly knew the intel of the Infernal Court’s powerhouses by heart.
After all, if they did not have intel on their opponents, they will definitely suffer once the fighting starts.
Zhang Ruochen was shocked. For them to be able to master a strange power comparable to the Nine Great Eternal Paths, it was no wonder the three Bone Emperors were so powerful.
There were hundreds of thousands of Paths, and the Nine Great Eternal Paths sits atop of them, and could be called invincible.
But there was no absolutes in anything, and across the streams of time, there would be a power that was comparable to the Nine Great Eternal Paths appeared somewhen somewhere, but the difficulty of mastering them was extremely difficult. Moreover, most of them had since been lost, and the average person simply would not have known about it.
If one thought that by mastering the Nine Great Eternal Paths one could look down on everyone in the world, then that was an extremely big mistake.
“Anyone that could stand at the peak of Beneath a Supreme Saint sure are no pushovers.” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.
Above the sea, Emperor Lieyan opened his mouth and spat out nine brilliant divine light that hung in the air.
In each light was a piece of bone that was etched full of divine runes.
These divine bones all exuded a powerful ancient resonance and was extremely divine. There were hidden shadow dragons coiling on their surface, letting out a burst of loud dragon’s roar, like a divine dragon resurrecting as its voice could spread across the entire Yinyang Sea.
“Its nine pieces of divine dragon bone from nine different divine dragons. The Infernal Court came very well prepared.” Ao Xinyan’s expression changed drastically.
There was a divine dragon bone in Ao Xinyan’s own body, so she was very familiar with it.
She could see the divine bone that Emperor Lieyan had spat out was one of the most important parts of the nine hundred and ninety-nine bones in the divine dragon’s body, and the divine rune was actually formed naturally and had incredible power.
To take out the most important piece of nine divine dragon bones at the same time, it was a massive wager.
Upon seeing these dragon bones, Ao Xinyan could not help but to have a very bad feeling in her heart.
Under the control of Emperor Lieyan, the nine pieces of dragon bones instantly formed a special formation as the power of the dragon within it was slowly released.
At this moment, the Son of Darkness took out a dark magic bottle.
Nine ghastly light flew out of it, and rushed to the nine dragon bones.
Hummm
The nine divine dragon bones all shuddered as the divine runes emerged clearly.
Immediately afterwards, a series of dragon phantoms flew out from the dragon bones and took a very corporeal form. However, the divine Qi on their body faded away and was replaced by the aura of darkness.
In a blink of an eye, nine black dragons spanning several hundred feet long appeared above the sea, letting out terrifying roars as they revealed an extremely menacing expression.
At the same time, a large number of ancient divine runes quickly appeared on the surface of the sea, covering a large swathe of the sea region.
Behind these forbidden formations created by these divine runes was the True Dragon Island.
At this time, the warships of the four ancient civilizations and the Skydragon Realm were moored in the waters thousands of miles away.
Seeing the nine black dragons several hundred meters long, Ao Xukong’s expression became very gloomy. “Nine divine dragon bones, nine top Supreme Saint-level dragon souls. It seens like the attacks on many of our Skydragon Realm Supreme Saints was the doing of the Fane of Darkness, all for breaking the forbidden formation of the True Dragon Island.”
Ao Xukong could not help but to clenching his fists as he really wanted to strike and seize all these dragon souls back.
Fairy Linglong’s expression too became bitter. In order to seize the treasures on the True Dragon Island, the Infernal Court had conspired against the dragonkin powerhouses of the Skydragon Realm, and that was unforgivable.
“Sure enough, the Infernal Court has another trump card. They had probably never cared much of the dragons of Zulong Mountain to begin with. IT seems like the forbidden formation of the True Dragon Island would not be able to resist the Infernal Court army.” The Thousand Star Maiden whispered, her eyes narrowed.
The Supreme Master said. “For the Infernal Court to send out so many powerhouses this time, it means they are determined to see this through and will not allow any accidents.”
Heavenly Scion Yanyang chuckled. “Isn’t this a good thing? Once the Infernal Court breaks through the forbidden formation, we can also land on the island. With our strength, it is more than enough for us to compete for the various treasures in the Shenlong Temple. The Son of Darkness better move fast, I’m already cannot wait for it.”
Hearing this, Ao Xukong could not help but to frown slightly as he took a deep look at Heavenly Scion Yanyang, with a look of disgust flashing past his eyes.
…
RAAAWRRR!
A painful dragon’s roar shook the earth as the nine black divine dragon’s figure continued to grow larger.
Within a short period of time, they had grown to thousands of miles long, and had condensed a large amount of vitality of the land.
At this moment, the nine divine dragon bones had completely fused into the bodies of the nine dragons perfectly.
The nine black dragons were intertwined, forming a powerful formation as a majestic power of darkness radiated out of their body as it gathered.
This power of darknessm, under the effect of the formation, transformed into a pitch-black flame. It was originally embers, but soon it grew into a conflagration.
The pitch black flame was extremely terrifying, immolating a large area of space into nothingness as a large amount of sea water evaporated.
Although the divine runes of the forbidden formation guarding the True Dragon Island was extremely powerful, but as the black flames burned, it still showed signs of dissoluting.
“Hoping to stop the march of our Infernal Court army with a mere forbidden formation, the people of Kunlun Realm are still as naive as they were a hundred thousand years ago.” Si Buxiu sneered.
Xuese Lianyi said. “Using nine divine dragon bones, nine top-level Supreme Saint-realm dragon souls, and the blood essence of nine gods of darkness, the price paid is significant.”
“Compared to the treasures inside the Shenlong Temple, this price is nothing. And as long as we can get the key of the World Gate, then Kunlun Realm is completely finished, and countless resources will be open for us to plunder as we wish.” A look of anticipation appeared in Si Buxiu’s eyes.
Xuanming Wushang’s eyes stared at the slowly fading divine runes, as he said lightly. “Don’t need to rush, everything is within our hands.”
At this moment, all of the Infernal Court powerhouses were prepared and ready to attack the True Dragon Island at any time.
The treasures that they could not get their hands on a hundred thousand years ago, they will not miss them this time.
Hidden in the secret dimensional passage, the expressions of Zhang Ruochen and the others became very grim.
Ao Xinyan could not help but sigh. “I really did not expect that the powerful forbidden formation of the True Dragon Island cannot stop the Infernal Court Army. We have underestimated the determination of the Infernal Court to take the True Dragon Island.”
There was no doubt the situation that they did not wish to see had finally occured.
“Team leader, according to what I’ve said at the very beginning, once the forbidden formation is broken, you’ll lead the seniors into the island. The remains of the Shenlong Temple is extremely big, and we still have hope protecting the Key of the World Gate.” Ao Xinyan said solemnly to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen nodded “Don’t worry, leave this to me.”
“Even if I were to fight to the death, I will never let this Infernal Court conspiracy succeed. I will not agree to them destroying Kunlun Realm.” Blackie said forcefully.
Although all of the Awakened Ones did not speak, there were resoluteness in their eyes as they were already prepared to protect the key of the World Gate at all cost.
CREAK–
The pitch-black flames got stronger and stronger, as a large number of divine runes became patchy and their link to one another became unstable.
Correspondingly, the size of divine dragon bones of the nine black dragons were getting smaller as the power of the dragon within them was continuously being consumed.
BOOOMMM!!!
At a certain point, after a large number of divine runes were completely annihilated, the forbidden formation protecting the True Dragon Island finally began to disintegrate.
And at the moment the forbidden formation collapsed, a majestic divine power was unleashed and swept in all directions with a roar.
Suddenly, massive waves were set off across the sea as an aura of devastation spread.
“To think that there’s still such powerful offensive power.” The Son of Darkness’ eyes narrowed.
Immediately, he controlled the nine black dragons and changed formation, forming a Barrier of Darkness that enveloped the seven warships.
