Dragon Tamer

Chapter 698: Chapter 700: Collapse of the Cloudy Skies @@novelbin@@

That icy face began to flush with angry crimson, as Hong Geng’s words evidently had an effect, making Zhao Yuan no longer seem so indifferent and arrogant, but rather more like a sickly and ferocious beast!

“As long as I can become a god, what need is there for anything else? As the Saint Que Emperor, you should be aware that without the support of a Superior God, we cultivators will always be mere mortals, with nothing but a pitiful hundred years of life, which is laughable compared to the eternal existence of the gods,” Zhao Yuan said somewhat fanatically.

What is cultivation base, what is realm, in the end, they’re no match for the passage of time. Even those cultivated demonic beasts can live easily for a thousand years, yet humans have only a century!

Time erodes; it is the most powerful enemy.

Zhao Yuan knew better than anyone that without the advent of the Tian shu God Domain, no matter how prosperous the Supreme Court might be, he, Zhao Yuan, would grow old and die in twenty or thirty years.

At that time, will cultivation base and the Royal Family really matter?

...

What he wanted was divinity, to be eternal and immortal like the stars in the sky!

“Do you think I would lament this collision of continents?”

“Do you know how much I long for the arrival of a new world, no matter how it comes to be!”

“This Supreme Court is behind the times, decadent, completely devoid of vitality. No matter how gifted a person is, no matter how much they shake the world, after a hundred years, they’re buried in the earth!”

“As long as I can become a god, let alone relinquishing this Royal Family, even if I had to destroy this barren land that can’t even grow a single fruit of eternal life, I wouldn’t frown!”

“What has the Sparrow Wolf God brought me?”

“Five hundred years!”

“His arrival gives me another five hundred years to live!”

Zhao Yuan seemed to completely vent all the suppressed feelings in his heart.

Since Hong Geng is the Saint Que Emperor, then Zhao Yuan knew Hong Geng must have encountered the same problem as himself!

The path of cultivation and the true Heavenly Dao, and Divine Path have a huge gap and chasm, one that can never be crossed without help from the outside!

Zhao Yuan searched the entire Supreme Court and found no pathway to the Divine Path.

Even more despairing was the fact that in the whole Supreme Court, there was not a single Spiritual Object that could extend a human’s life.

At this moment, he didn’t feel sad at all; instead, he felt an ecstatic madness within. In his limited lifetime, he had waited for the arrival of a new continent, one that was far superior to the Supreme Court.

Most importantly, in this Tian shu God Domain, there are methods for longevity, secret manuals for longevity, Spiritual Objects for longevity, and if one became a god, the lifespan would be even longer!!

Five hundred years of life.

And the qualification to become a god in the future.

This is what the Sparrow Wolf God has given him.

It’s the very thing he was most obsessed with after passing the age of forty!!

“An Emperor must grovel so abjectly. Though my life is short, I, Hong Geng, am an upright Saint Que Emperor. If I can tear a chunk of flesh from Hua Chou, causing him pain, causing him anger, I will not hesitate to shatter into dust, at least I’ve been true to my Saint Que compatriots, and I need not hide my face when I meet them in the Yellow Springs!” Hong Geng said.

“Then go meet them in the Yellow Springs!” Zhao Yuan retorted.

All four dragons moved in unison; the Violent Chi Dragon, Cloud Kun Dragon, Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon, and Ancestral Scorpion Dragon all opened their mouths at once. They spewed forth dragon flames of different strengths, and as these flames intertwined, they became even more fearsome torrents of dragon fire, raining down without restraint!!

Zhao Yuan weaved through the dragon flame waterfall, his body always enveloped in crimson flames that made him as strong and determined as the Dragon Kings, as if clad in a fiery holy armor.

Facing the dragon fire waterfall from the four dragons, he was the first to reach the Cloud Kun Dragon.

The Cloud Kun Dragon expelled a fiery cloud, so vast it could engulf the Imperial City, turning it into a terrifying sea of fire.

Hong Geng threw a punch at the Cloud Kun Dragon, one as massive as a mountain peak, glowing red-hot. The energy erupted like a volcanic plume, sending the Cloud Kun Dragon flying into the clouds.

Then the Violent Chi Dragon pounced. Its chi dragon claws were particularly sharp, able to crush some of the Steel Cast Dragon Kings with a single squeeze. Hong Geng did not confront it head-on. Instead, he deftly dodged the Violent Chi Dragon.

Knowing the Violent Chi Dragon possessed god-level Dragon Scales, Hong Geng also understood he might not be able to kill it.

Circling around, as the Ancestral Scorpion Dragon also joined the attack, he suddenly exploded with astonishing speed, charging like a blazing meteor toward Zhao Yuan and the Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon he rode.

Zhao Yuan, unfazed, squeezed heavily on the Purple Gold Dragon Horn, which immediately released bolts of purple-gold lightning.

The lightning was like a matriarch’s javelin, furiously colliding with Hong Geng.

Undeterred and unflinching, Hong Geng, facing the purple-gold lightning javelin, allowed the powerful purple-gold whip to lash his body, smashing a fist at the Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon!

The Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon saw Hong Geng approaching and opened its mouth to bite.

Hong Geng seized the opportunity to launch his fist right onto the Dragon Teeth of the Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon. The purple gold lightning that had previously been on his body was absorbed by his special arms. When he unleashed this punch, it exploded into his terrifying Thunder Blast Punch!!

“Gah!!!!”

The Dragon Teeth broke upon impact, and the Purple Gold Holy Candle Dragon painfully swung backwards. Zhao Yuan, who had been standing on its head, was also awkwardly sent flying. Had it not been for another of his Thirteen Dragons, the Cloud Sky Dragon, catching him, he might have been blasted out of the Imperial City!

…

“Saint Que Emperor, your strength is astounding!” Zhu Heavenly Officer exclaimed in admiration.

In terms of strength, there are very few in the Supreme Court who could contend with Zhao Yuan. Zhu Heavenly Officer dares to claim he is the strongest because the number of powerful individuals loyal to Zhu Gate is vast, and it’s impossible for Zhao Yuan to deal with them alone.

Zhu Heavenly Officer had already planned to exhaust Emperor Zhao Yuan to death by using the tactic of overwhelming numbers. Now, with the addition of such an exceptional expert like Hong Geng, completely crushing the Royal Family that had already become a vassal of the Lower God Organization did not pose much of a problem anymore.

Zhu Minglang was witnessing Hong Geng’s action for the first time. Previously, when the Peak expert Pang Kai mentioned Hong Geng’s strength to him, Zhu Minglang was somewhat skeptical—after all, the Peak represents the highest level of cultivation base, and it is very difficult to make a breakthrough with the same cultivation base.

But now, seeing Hong Geng fighting against Zhao Yuan’s Thirteen Dragons alone, and still slightly gaining the upper hand even against the Violent Chi Dragon with the divine scales, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but be amazed.

And that is with him still recovering from serious injuries, not yet fully healed. If he were in his prime condition, perhaps he really could wrestle with some of the Quasi-god level beings!

…

“The Sparrow Wolf God still hasn’t shown up,” Li Xinghua’s clear eyes looked up into the cloud-filled sky. She saw many familiar scenes, but if things continued to develop along the current path of fate, they could become even more complicated.

“If he hides, we have no way to handle him,” Zhu Minglang said.

“We don’t have much time,” Li Xinghua murmured, appearing more anxious than usual. As a Prophet, she was looking for something, but often, she didn’t know what exactly she was searching for.

She only knew that time was running out, and opportunities were extremely limited—they needed to at least force the Sparrow Wolf God to show himself!

“Star Painting, what did you see?” Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.

The plan to kill a god had to be extremely meticulous, otherwise, everyone here would be annihilated. As a Prophet, Li Xinghua couldn’t allow for any errors in this god-killing attempt, but the information she currently had was still very limited. Especially concerning the Sparrow Wolf God himself—it was still uncertain if he was in the Imperial City, let alone gauging his strength!

“My lord, the fate-related clues we have obtained this time are still far from enough,” Li Xinghua said.

Zhu Minglang was somewhat confused. Hadn’t they already obtained the Jade Blood Sword, preventing the Sparrow Wolf God from recovering his divine form? The situation had been resolved perfectly, and all that was left was to find the Sparrow Wolf God and take him down. What was the need for more fate-related clues?

Seeing her slight anxiety, Mi Rong consoled her, “Sister, don’t worry. The Sparrow Wolf God might still be injured and afraid to show himself when he sees the strong power of Zhu Gate.”

Li Xinghua shook her head.

The Sparrow Wolf God, in control of the Royal Family, could surely use the lantern jade and Ancient Lantern Jade—which are very beneficial for his injuries—to recover some of his divine power.

The question was, how much had he recovered!

The most crucial point now was to find out to what extent the Sparrow Wolf God had healed!

“Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, with cold winds emerging, the temperature in the entire Imperial City plummeted rapidly. Even the edges of Dripping Lake began to show threads of white frost, which slowly thickened and spread across the lake surface like branches until all the frost interwove, freezing the lake into a sheet of pale ice!

Li Xinghua glanced at the lake surface and then immediately raised her head to look at the Cloud Dragon Country floating in the sky, watching layer upon layer of Frost of the Ice Sky descend from the Cloud Dragon Country…

“He’s here,” Li Xinghua said.

Zhu Minglang also followed her gaze and saw that swath of pallid frost enveloping the sky, a Heaven Dust Dragon was slowly pressing downwards, and the clouds of the Cloud Dragon Country—the cloud peaks, clusters, and tufts—were collapsing en masse, crashing down!

The massive cloud peaks fell, giving onlookers a sense that the sky was tumbling down, the dense cloud peaks landed within the Imperial City. While they didn’t cause any destruction, when the cloud peaks shattered, they turned into thick Frost of the Ice Sky, spreading throughout the city!

Suddenly, the entire cloud realm fell without warning!

It was a sea of clouds that obscured the sun! As this cloud sea plummeted to the ground, creating a sight terrifying to behold, both the struggling Imperial Army and Zhu Men’s Dark Guard Army instinctively evaded, only to relax when they realized it was the cloud sea rapidly descending.

However, buried within the cloud sea was even more Frost of the Ice Sky, which quickly froze streets, gardens, mansions, and buildings solid!

“This Frost of the Ice Sky…” Zhu Minglang said, staring absently at the frost spreading wildly.

The Frost of the Ice Sky that existed within the Cloud Dragon Country was not only extremely cold, but it also drained the life force, which was why anyone entering the Cloud Dragon Country must carry a lantern jade…
