Chapter 62: The Catastrophe of the Dragon Han
by xennovelThe chaotic sword energy crisscrossed in the air, the yin-yang fishes flowed, and the Qian Kun Ding rang out as it tried to envelop Yuan Feng.
A grand dragon roar echoed through the heavens and the earth. With a claw that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart, Hongjun quickly summoned the Taiji Diagram, and the Baiyu Golden Bridge swept out from within.
The Five Elements and Five Virtues surged forth!
In an instant, Shi Qilin unleashed five paths of innate Qi. The Five Elements clashed against the yin-yang energies, each giving rise to and consuming the other.
The six strongest figures in the Primordial World were locked in a life-and-death struggle, while below, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans formed formations to encircle the masters from the two Holy Lands.
Yujing Mountain was besieged tightly, with the battle’s shockwaves echoing far and wide. The three groups of Pangu’s primordial spirits, protected by the innate formation, felt restless. Fortunately, they were safeguarded by the merits of Creation, and the calamity’s aura hadn’t affected their cultivation. Above them, a small mystical tower spun slowly.
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans were indeed the strongest groups, each commanding countless elites—flying beasts and terrestrial creatures—a multitude of powerful beings rushed to their aid, while the cultivators from the Yin-Yang Holy Land and the Qian Kun Dynasty were constantly being slaughtered.
With the situation at Yujing Mountain perilous, the Yin-Yang Daoist channeled his immense heavenly path, resulting in two gigantic yin-yang fishes flowing through the world. His disciples fell one after another, and he grew frantic!
The Yin-Yang Daoist wanted to assist his disciples, but Shi Qilin unleashed another five virtues resonance! The golden sword, divine tree, calamity water, true fire, and thick earth combined to suppress the black and white yin-yang fishes! The Yin-Yang Daoist nearly reverted to his original form, cursing, “That old ghost Hongjun has set me up! Where are the reinforcements he promised?”
Just then, strong figures appeared from a distance. As those from the Yin-Yang Dynasty and the Qian Kun Holy Land fell into despair, they discovered that the incoming figures were not allies from the three clans!
“The three clans are cruel and tyrannical, leaving no survival for other groups. This time, they’re even hunting down the great benefactor Hongjun. I, Yuan Gu, can’t stand by and watch!”
The voices grew closer as the strong cultivators appeared on the battlefield, resisting the three clans.
The Dragon and Phoenix clans were already fierce and tyrannical, which had ruffled many other groups’ feathers.
On top of Hongjun’s consistently promoted good image, along with his previous secret persuading, quite a few powerful beings came to assist and turned against the three clans! Viewers watching the live stream of the battle in the forums expressed their astonishment: they had thought Dao Ancestor Hongjun was doomed this time, but it turned out he knew how to leverage the situation—no wonder he would become the ultimate victor! Some users suddenly noticed, though: it was the final showdown, yet the big boss Luo Hou hadn’t appeared yet! Where was Wutian? Surely these two wouldn’t want to fish in troubled waters, would they? Everyone was discussing it, while over a hundred other players were anxious yet powerless—being weak is a sin!
Countless schemes and devious plots could not withstand a single punch! Yujing Mountain, filled with spiritual energy, drastically changed; myriad paths and three thousand laws intertwined, and the peaks were shattered! Huge rocks turned to dust.
Bloodlust overtook each powerful being, heavenly laws transformed into a blood-red hue. In the face of the calamity, who could evade? Dao produced One, One generated Two, Two being the yin-yang energies. The Yin-Yang Daoist, inheriting the yin-yang source of creation, was born inherently divine and powerful.
However, this time his opponent was Shi Qilin, the Qilin clan’s leader, who possessed the natural luck of his clan and the innate embodiment of the Five Elements and Five Virtues.
It truly was a match of equals. On another front, the colorful Yuan Feng continuously fanned her true phoenix fire as the Qian Kun Daoist operated the Qian Kun Ding. The Dao Ding spun rapidly, absorbing all divine flames, but could the Phoenix Fire be underestimated? Even the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Qian Kun Ding was burned red-hot, and the divine beast images on its walls screeched as if they would melt away at any moment. Yet as long as the ding remained intact, the Qian Kun Daoist would not be harmed by the Phoenix! The strongest from the three clans, the Ancestral Dragon, faced off against the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Both of them stood at the apex of the food chain in the Primordial World!
The colossal dragon body appeared intermittently, while Hongjun sat cross-legged upon the twelfth-grade merit golden lotus, with a golden bridge constructed at his feet, his form appearing to confer enlightenment to the world.
No matter how strong the Ancestral Dragon was, he couldn’t contend against such a golden turtle shell. Meanwhile, Hongjun occasionally waved the Pangu Banner, making the Ancestral Dragon uneasy. Yet even for this ancient and mightiest being, Hongjun dared not take lightly.
The true body of the Ancestral Dragon spanned the heavens and the earth, its dragon roars causing the golden lotus to tremble. Had it not been for the Taiji Diagram suppressing it, Hongjun’s primordial spirit would have been affected severely!
“Go, Ancestral Dragon! Take down that hypocritical Hongjun! What good has he ever done? He’s been using you as a sword all along!”
“Sister Yuan Feng, burn this big turtle down! What an instigator, he can’t even guard his own territory, destined to be a loser in this calamity!”
In the heated battlefield, these two discordant voices rang out, their loudness echoing across the land, and everyone could hear them.
Hongjun was well aware of the roguelike nature of the players. Sitting atop the merit golden lotus, he remained as steady as a mountain, a true enlightened being, while the Qian Kun Old Ancestor had less patience, glancing down at the cheeky Little Loli.
In an abrupt motion, he turned the Qian Kun Ding upside-down, intending to cover and refine this disrespectful junior. Unexpectedly, a burst of phoenix fire rushed in, leaving the Qian Kun in a state of utter chaos.
Below, a series of laughter erupted, especially the high-pitched giggle of the Little Loli. The Qian Kun’s three corpses were furious, yet they couldn’t retaliate for the moment.
In the forums, players broadcasted the intense battle. Online users praised the might of the Ancestral Dragon, astonished by Hongjun’s endless array of magical treasures. Some even set up bets to see who would emerge victorious in this astonishing clash! Among them, Hongjun’s odds were sky-high, after all, his foundation was too deep and his treasures unmatched. Furthermore, he was the original world’s victor, giving him the greatest chance of winning! However, Luo Hou had a substantial following as he still hadn’t made his move and remained hidden in the shadows. Who knew that in the end, both sides might suffer, and Luo Hou would reap the benefits?
Even more importantly, Luo Hou had the player Wutian aiding him! Wutian was the current top player! Other players from the three clans grumbled but had to admit it. Many players were confused as to why they weren’t as strong; they knew as many secrets as ‘Shen Ma Dou Shi Fu Yun’ but could never catch up to him. The battlefield of the Primordial World grew fiercer, dragging in gods and spirits. The six supreme beings also fought intensely! Boom! The Qian Kun Ding surged powerfully, as if chaos enveloped the entire world, the Qian Kun Old Ancestor exerted his life’s power to envelop Yuan Feng who was constantly fluctuating through the void! The situation seemed to reverse as both sides unleashed their true trump cards, watching as Yuan Feng became trapped and on the verge of disaster, Shi Qilin howled!
Shi Qilin’s true form manifested, gathering the essence of the Five Elements, as if to recreate the chaos itself, the chaotic energy filled the battlefield.
This was an upper-level power suppressing a lower-level force!
The Yin-Yang Daoist understood the life-and-death stakes as both black and white yin-yang fishes struggled fiercely, trying to divide the chaos.
Shi Qilin leaped, his mighty form vanishing, as a massive Chaotic Whirlpool engulfed the yin-yang fishes! Both sides fought with all their might, even deploying their most primordial laws!
“Yuan Feng!”
The Ancestral Dragon roared in fury, its true form began to unleash chaotic might! Billions of true dragons surged through the skies! The Ancestral Dragon’s form caused the Primordial World to tremble! The Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s divine eyes sparkled with brilliance as he waved the Pangu Banner wildly, the golden bridge at his feet sealed off any chance for the Ancestral Dragon to rescue Yuan Feng.
The Qian Kun Ding fluctuated between massive and small, obviously as Yuan Feng struggled fiercely within. The Qian Kun Old Ancestor sat atop the ding, blood oozing forth as he burned his life’s path to refine Yuan Feng! Crack! The Qian Kun Ding no longer surged wildly, and within, the phoenix’s aura completely vanished!
As if sensing the disappearance of Yuan Feng’s aura, the Chaotic Whirlpool formed by Shi Qilin grew larger and more powerful! Countless mountains and giant rocks were drawn into it, ground to ashes.
“Ah!”
The Yin-Yang Daoist screamed in agony, unable to maintain the form of the yin-yang fishes, “Qilin, are you crazy? By enveloping the chaos like this, you’ll be assimilated too!”
Bloodlight streamed from the Yin-Yang Daoist’s eyes, clearly pushed to the brink where he could be unraveled by the chaos at any moment.
Shi Qilin seemed not to hear, the Chaotic Whirlpool grew increasingly fierce! The Yin-Yang Daoist was stripped of his essence, revealing the yin-yang source—a black and white energy spiraled at the center of the whirlpool! In an instant, they were shredded by the chaos! Yuan Feng had fallen!
The Yin-Yang Daoist had also perished!
Heaven and earth wept crimson rain. The Phoenix clan nearly went insane, raging infernos engulfed everything in their path! “What joy is there in life, what pain in death? Burn my remains with holy flames!”
The Phoenixes burned wildly, their divine flames and various holy fires incinerating every adversary! One powerful phoenix after another disregarded their crumbling paths, charging at the Qian Kun Daoist! Drip, drip! The crimson rain seemed to mourn the fallen while fueling the calamity further!
