Chapter 1353: The Draconic Invasion

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Royal House of the Northern Tribes were becoming more powerful, but they were still a distance away from catching up with the Great Qin Empire.

The Great Zhou Empire managed to retain the last of their strength because of the Celestial Sect of Wonders' mercy. However, the Great Zhou Empire's might plummeted right into the abyss.

The Great Qin Empire sustained heavy losses during the War of the Two Worlds, and that wasn't even enough to describe their predicament. They were in a precarious situation for a while, but they managed to stabilize themselves.

Even though they also suffered a decline in strength, they had an advantage over the Great Zhou Empire.

The Great Qin Empire wouldn't have any advantage at all if the Royal House of the Northern Tribes and the Great Zhou Empire formed an alliance.

Still, this wasn't what made the Great Qin Empire nervous. The real source of their anxiety came from the Divine Lands' lineage of Emperor Gu. They established the Ancient State, and thus began the Gu Dynasty. Not only were there uncountable powerful cultivators amongst them, they had the Destiny-level magic treasure Longevity Lotus Seat, and that gave the Great Qin, the Great Zhou Empire, and the Royal House of the Northern Tribes even more pressure.

The Great Qin Empire stood a greater chance at turning the tides back around compared to the Great Zhou Empire and the Royal House of the Northern Tribes – everything depended on getting back the Immortal Dragon City. The Great Qin Empire were exhilarated now that they had this chance in their grasp, and s.h.i.+ Zongmao was equally excited as well, except reality seemed to splash them with a bucket of cold water.

s.h.i.+ Yu wasn't the only person involved in forging the Immortal Dragon City all those years ago. Much of the Great Qin Empire's precious resources were also infused within.

The new emperor of the Great Qin Empire, s.h.i.+ Zongtang, and s.h.i.+ Zongmao also partic.i.p.ated, thus they had a relatively deep understanding of the Immortal Dragon City.

s.h.i.+ Zongmao was observing and monitoring the Immortal Dragon City's power and aura as well as the ripples of consciousness at such a close distance, and he instantly detected the difference. His eyes became a little slack, and he couldn't even maintain his own posture while he was stunned speechless and his jaw hung agape.

Zhu Yi wasn't surprised by s.h.i.+ Zongmao's reaction, as if everything was within his calculation.

“Yi Zi…” s.h.i.+ Zongmao recovered and turned towards Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi shook his head and said, “Neither I nor the Celestial Sect of Wonders will interfere.”

A look of bitterness flashed across s.h.i.+ Zongmao's face when he heard those words. His eyebrows were tightly locked together as he stared at the Immortal Dragon City before him.

This supreme elder from the Great Qin Empire took a deep breath as a murderous look flickered in his eyes. He opened his palms and a black four-edged mace appeared in his hands.

The black four-edged iron mace's surface flickered with golden radiance, as if it was stained with dried blood and overflowed with intimidating auras of bloodshed and hostility.

The air of hostility was so dense that s.h.i.+ Zongmao's aura became incredibly violent and murderous. Streak after streak of blood energy permeated through the sky before they congregated and gradually transformed into elongated blood dragons.

These blood dragons were hideous and as terrifying as ever. Blood flowed from their faces, as if they were suffering intense and agonizing pain while they erupted with hatred and vengeance.

Zhu Yi recognized this to be the Great Qin Empire's Mahayanlevel magic treasure, the Anti-Dragon Mace.

This magic treasure accompanied s.h.i.+ Zongmao in his expeditions during the War of the Two Worlds. If not for this magic treasure, s.h.i.+ Zongmao would probably have perished when he was besieged by the Ya Yu Grand Sage and the Hou Ning Dragon King.

Both s.h.i.+ Zongmao and the Anti-Dragon Mace were injured during that battle, but it seemed like they had gradually recuperated after the episode.

s.h.i.+ Zongmao's eyes flashed with animosity as he extended his hands in front of him. Five-colored light dragons burst out, circled around his body and transformed into a Dao Fruit – this third-level immortal soul stage elder was about to give everything he had from the get-go.

He used his own Dao Fruit to channel the Anti-Dragon Mace and raised the fearsome black mace into the sky. He was prepared to smash down upon the Immortal Dragon City!

s.h.i.+ Zongmao and the Great Qin Empire wanted the Immortal Dragon City restored more than anything else in the world and take it back into their possession, but it appeared as if they had changed their minds.

He didn't want to damage the Immortal Dragon City. Instead, he wanted to interrupt its awakening.

The Immortal Dragon City's consciousness was becoming increasingly clear at this moment, but it hadn't been completely awakened. s.h.i.+ Zongmao intended to interrupt the process, before he attempted take the dormant Immortal Dragon City back to Xiling City, when he would discuss with s.h.i.+ Zongtang and the others on what to do with it.

The Anti-Dragon Mace was ferocious, but it couldn't break through the long light river on the Immortal Dragon City's surface. The iron mace hammered into the river and immediately broke into a million pieces, as if it was separated into uncountable instances and moments.

s.h.i.+ Zongmao's expression was gloomy and solemn. His hands began to move as light dragons surged from his body and went straight for the long river of time. Every single light dragon targeted each light shadow of the Anti-Dragon Mace and hooked everything up.

The light dragons withdrew at the same time and pulled out the Anti-Dragon Mace from the river of time.

The voluminous light projections immediately came back together once it was out of the long river, and formed the black four-edged mace once more. An enormous light dragon held onto it while it swung back and force, and the iron mace barreled towards the Immortal Dragon City yet again.

The Immortal Dragon City and the flowing river of time on its surface were not completely awakened. s.h.i.+ Zongmao and the Anti-Dragon Mace was forceful and physically formidable on the outside, but it contained mystical principles and effects and immediately shook up the long river.

Yet, this strike that phased between the virtual world and reality still couldn't break open the long river of time.

s.h.i.+ Zongmao's face became even darker than before. He could feel that the Immortal Dragon City's awakening and its consciousness became even clearer, and it was progressing faster and faster – that meant the long river of time only became stronger over time.

His chances would be minimal if he couldn't break through these defenses within a short period of time.

s.h.i.+ Zongmao glanced at Zhu Yi beside him, but Zhu Yi shook his head lightly and signaled that he wasn't going to partic.i.p.ate. He wasn't going to stop s.h.i.+ Zongmao, but he wasn't about to help him either.

This spelled bad news for s.h.i.+ Zongmao. With the Immortal Dragon City's current level of power, he would never be able to break through by himself.

A Yi Daoist Talisman suddenly flickered in Zhu Yi's eyes and he felt a tingling in his heart, before he immediately revealed his virtual ent.i.ty without another word.

A spirit body with an ancient scholarly robe, scrolls in his hands, and over thirty feet tall stood atop the Higan Golden Bridge. The Higan Golden Birdge sparkled with eight beams of colorful light circles that transformed into a sprawling rainbow that stretched horizontally across the sky.

Right at this moment, the void split open and rolling golden light spiraled from the sky. Golden dragon clouds s.h.i.+mmered into vision and collided against the Higan Golden Bridge in midair.

The two vast patches of golden light clashed and broke apart at the same time. The immense Higan Golden Bridge was revealed – and the Earth Dragon King's tremendous Celestial Dragon True Form.

The Earth Dragon King stared at Zhu Yi with chilly eyes. His dragon scales quivered while golden draconic forces that formed cloud energies in the sky emanated from within. The air of hostility around him was truly ferocious and hostile.

He didn't roar angrily, he didn't howl into the sky, and he didn't speak. The Earth Dragon King's dignified n.o.bility intertwined with his coldness and savagery, causing the temperature in the air to plummet. It was simply petrifying.

He watched the Immortal Dragon City and Zhu Yi's eyes without a single trace of warmth on his face.

s.h.i.+ Zongmao stared at the Earth Dragon King before them. He felt strange sensations in his heart – faced with this powerful Vipralopa Stage demon dragon, even he couldn't remain composed.

The fearsome and explosive Anti-Dagon Mace seemed to fade into the background at this point. Most of the blood dragons roaming the skies withdrew and orbited around the four-edged iron mace. They howled deeply at the same time, wary of the new threat and displaying their ferocity.

The Earth Dragon King threw a glance at the Anti-Dragon Mace, and the long blood dragons surrounding the Anti-Dragon Mace all crumbled into pieces without warning.

The Anti-Dragon Mace flickered with sharp red lights and trembled incessantly. s.h.i.+ Zongmao concentrated on keeping his hold on the mace so that it didn't fly out of his hands.

The Earth Dragon King withdrew his gaze and continued watching the Immortal Dragon City. He felt the power ripples and its consciousness, and a look of surprise flashed between his eyes before his expression returned to its original coldness.

Zhu Yi revealed his virtual ent.i.ty while a tremendous Yi Daoist Talisman radiated from the top of his head. He turned towards another direction, and the void on that side split open as well. An Immemorial Celestial Dragon emerged under the cover of golden s.h.i.+fting clouds – it was another mighty Vipralopa Stage demon dragon, the Shen Dragon King.

Two Vipralopa Stage great demons pinched Zhu Yi, the Immortal Dragon City, and the rest of them in the middle while the dragons stared at their adversaries in cold silence.

Even though they were a little slower than Zhu Yi, the powerful demon dragons managed to find their way here before the Immortal Dragon City was completely awakened.

“Something like that has happened. That's truly unexpected – but it still can't be forgiven!” The Shen Dragon King howled into the sky and immediately revealed his true form. A large golden claw reached out from the soaring golden clouds and slashed down towards the Immortal Dragon City.

The Earth Dragon King was still quiet and deliberating. Every single ounce of wrath and hatred had precipitated into cold-blooded murderousness and a desire to kill. He didn't want to say anything at all, and all he wanted to do was annihilate his adversary.

Two powerful Vipralopa Stage demons unleashed their true forms at the same time. Violent demonic energy rippled through the air, and instantly triggered a vigorous hurricane inside the Void Battleground that swept in all directions.

s.p.a.ce-time twisted and contorted while the Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King raised their claws at the same time and slashed towards the Immortal Dragon City.

The two of them opened their mouths at the same time as powerful beams of golden light erupted from within. Everything that these beams of golden light pa.s.sed through was reduced to Chaos and nothingness. The beams of light congregated like an ocean and seemed to blanket over the entire world as they went straight for Zhu Yi and the others.

Zhu Yi raised his eyebrows and gestured with both of his hands before he placed his palms together before his chest. Endless layers of light stretched out in all directions and transformed into a tremendous magic formation that blocked off the golden light ocean – that destructive power couldn't come close at all.

Twelve glowing dots undulated at the magic formation's center. An enormous greenish-black crucible was in the middle – it was the Two Elements of Creation Formation, and the Crucible of the Divine Lands. The Crucible of the Divine Lands was also a Destiny-level magic treasure, and it was responsible for holding down the Two Elements of Creation Formation's core before the Imperial Palace was ready.

Zhu Yi channeled the Higan Golden Bridge and attempted to intercept the two Celestial Dragons' front claws. Eight light circles flickered on the golden bridge, while air streaks...o...b..ted around Zhu Yi's virtual ent.i.ty. They embodied the most extreme principles and concepts of the great Dao, and everything detonated at the same time. The explosion created n frightening world-destroying force that harmonized with the Higan Golden Bridge to stop both the Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King right in their tracks.

The Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Two Elements of Creation Formation rotated continuously as well. Vast power was constantly injected into the duo as they blocked off their adversaries.

The Earth Dragon King had been silent this whole time, and he finally spoke. His tone was just direct and ice-cold. “Kill!”

He raised his power with the Shen Dragon King at the same time, and demonic powers erupted once more.

However, another voice suddenly rang loud in the void, “Kill!”

A tall figure that was sitting cross-legged on the Higan Golden Bridge suddenly stood up.
