Chapter 1 Trying My Hand at Slaying a Dragon

A faint sigh arose from an unknown origin, yet it seemed to permeate the long night sky as soon as it appeared.

In an instant, the wind ceased, the clouds stood still, and the vast expanse of a hundred thousand li of void became silent. A terrifyingly powerful will, capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, pierced through the void, filling the world.

It descended upon the world with an extremely frightening presence.

At this moment, even Qi Xuan Zhenyi, who held the Crown Prince's decree, paled completely. The group of experts from the Dao City behind him turned ashen with fright.

Staggering, they almost fell to the ground.

"This person, this person..."

Qi Xuan Zhenyi's mind trembled as he stared intently.

Crack, crack, crack…

The void trembled, blood-colored light flowed, and a cold, stern aura spread, layer upon layer, like a raging tide.

Amidst the shocked and horrified gazes of everyone,

a figure slowly emerged from the void. This was not a breaking through the air, but more like a transition from illusion to reality.

Buzz!

Beneath the night sky, the seven crimson stars trembled and hummed as the sigh echoed.

Until the figure appeared, the seven blood-colored stars collapsed violently, until the figure materialized from the void. The seven blood-colored stars became the figure's seven orifices!

It was an extremely perfect body, unclothed yet without the slightest vulgarity, instead exuding an aura of utmost masculinity.

Whoosh!

The void vibrated, and spiritual energy rolled in, transforming into a set of black martial attire that covered its towering frame. Long hair, scattered behind, moved against the wind, each strand like a sword, tearing through the gale.

It merely stood with its hands clasped behind its back at the edge of the sky, gazing down.

An indescribable immense pressure instantly spread out. From across tens of millions of miles, the group on the teleportation platform retreated one after another, coughing up blood.

It seemed that in the next instant, their bones would shatter and they would die vomiting blood under this gaze!

"Ah!"

"How is this possible?! Just a gaze..."

"A Dharma Body? Or..."

The many experts from the Dao City on the teleportation platform changed color. They never expected that the enemy they were trying to apprehend would be so powerful.

The weakest among them was a Golden Core Third Tier cultivator, yet they couldn't withstand a gaze from tens of thousands of miles away?

Could this person be a powerhouse at or above the Dharma Body level?!

"No wonder, no wonder..."

Qi Xuan Zhenyi had no more illusions. With a flip of his hand, a golden light rose into the air, accompanied by nine soaring dragon roars.

Roar!

The nine dragons soared, and the golden light that burst forth pierced through the layers of night, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and also dispelling the earth-shattering pressure.

In an instant, the nine azure dragons stretched across the heavens and the earth. As their ten-thousand-zhang-long bodies swayed, they held up the decree that resembled a throne.

This scene was like a miracle!

Thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of miles of night were illuminated, and countless people saw this miraculous scene.

Nine dragons traveled, pulling a throne!

"This is..."

More than a hundred thousand miles away, Lin Boxun, who was sitting cross-legged on a barren mountain, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. A feeling of trepidation from the depths of his being made him suddenly open his eyes.

His eyesight had its limits. Across the hundreds of thousands of miles of night, he could only vaguely see specks of golden light, but the throbbing of his bloodline still allowed him to sense something.

"Is this the aura of my cheap grandfather?"

Lin Boxun stood up abruptly. As his mind sank, a compass-like shadow flashed in his eyes.

Buzz…

In the next instant, Lin Boxun only felt a flash of light before his eyes, then darkness. He almost fell to the ground. He looked up abruptly and spat out a mouthful of blood:

"Crimson canopy, golden natal sign?!"

At this moment, Lin Boxun almost forgot his precarious body. Looking at the wisp of golden light at the end of the night, his heart was extremely shocked.

"As Da Zizai said, a wisp of crimson promises longevity; more than half crimson allows one to glimpse immortality… This crimson is like a canopy, his natal sign is tinged with green, and even has a trace of..."

[Those favored by destiny are destined to be the sons of destiny where wind and clouds converge.]

Da Zizai's indifferent voice echoed in Lin Boxun's mind.

"Son of destiny..."

Lin Boxun murmured in his heart.

[Some are stillborn, drowning in chamber pots; some are buried by the roadside, their parents exchanging children to eat; some are born ordinary, seeking only enough to eat and be clothed in their lifetimes...]

[But some are born nobles, naturally extraordinary. They do not need to stir up wind and clouds; the wind and clouds move with them. Their every move is driven by great forces. What they think in their hearts will surely come to pass. When disaster strikes, they will surely turn misfortune into good fortune...]

"My cheap grandfather is actually favored by destiny..."

Lin Boxun only felt his hands and feet turn cold.

He, unfortunately, reincarnated as his grandson. The fact that he wanted to bring him back from so far away, was he perhaps aware of something?

[Nothing in the heavens and earth remains unchanged, and so is luck! What does it matter if someone is favored by destiny? As long as you wish it, even seizing his fortune, reforming his destiny, and replacing him is not impossible!]

Da Zizai seemed to be moved as well, its indifferent voice carrying a rare hint of excitement.

However, Lin Boxun's excitement far surpassed it by ten thousand times. In his daze, he didn't notice. When he calmed down, Da Zizai's voice returned to normal:

[Isn't the Heavenly Fate Compass only for searching? If you have enough source power, you can even use this compass to borrow life from others!]

"Borrow life?"

Lin Boxun was slightly stunned. He naturally understood the meaning of "borrowing life" in the Heavenly Fate Compass, but the Great Zhou Crown Prince was stronger than him by more than ten thousand times.

How could he borrow his life...

Da Zizai stopped answering. Lin Boxun looked back at the golden light at the end of the night, and an immense desire couldn't help but rise in his heart.

Since they were both born as humans, why couldn't he be the one favored by destiny?!

…

"We respectfully welcome the Crown Prince's arrival!"

Qi Xuan Zhenyi's heart eased, and the group behind him knelt on the ground.

"The Great Zhou Crown Prince, Long Xingyi? He actually came in person? Such domineering True Dragon Emperor Dao, no wonder his fame almost surpasses his father!"

Lin Yan did not kneel like the others, but raised his head and saw the divine light flowing down from the throne pulled by the nine dragons.

And the divine figure high on the throne, with a crown swaying and an imperial sword hanging from his waist.

Lin Yan was shocked and filled with great reverence.

The Great Zhou Dynasty occupied the most spiritually rich Eastern Land of Southern Zhan, and its strength was the undisputed leader of the three great dynasties. Even in the world, it was second only to the Dao Palace and Sumeru.

How could the strong within it be counted?

Subduing the world was not easy.

At this moment, sensing the invisible yet substantial True Dragon Emperor Qi, which did not reveal itself on the outside but was so heavy that it almost replaced this piece of heaven and earth, he finally understood something.

No wonder the Great Zhou Crown Prince could suppress the seventy-two Dao Lords and gain the recognition of the Three Dukes, Nine Ministers, and Grand Sacrificial Wine.

He was afraid that he had already cultivated the "Imperial Extremis Shocking the World," which was held by the Great Zhou Ancestor and was as famous as the demon race's Five-Colored Divine Light, the Confucian school's Haoran River, and the Great Xia's Ding Yi Dragon Transformation.

"Slay a dragon? Which dragon do you want to slay?"

A vast and majestic voice was as boundless as a cloud hanging from the sky, resounding between heaven and earth. It contained no emotion, but made all sentient beings who heard it tremble in their hearts and feel like bowing down.

"Long Xingyi!"

Zhang Longfu stood with his hands clasped behind his back in the long sky. His crimson eyes reflected the noble divine figure on the throne guarded by nine dragons, with greed, loss, and deep hatred:

"In the past, when Long Pan traveled, there were still nine Dragon Kings pulling the chariot. Now, after only three generations, there are only a few small loaches left? It's truly laughable, laughable!"

"Audacious!"

"How dare you call the Ancestor by his name! You deserve to die ten thousand times!"

"Kill! Should be killed!"

Before Zhang Longfu's voice faded, the sound of dragon roars had already risen greatly in the long sky, shaking the dome of heaven like a tide, with wind and thunder rolling, as if the heavens were furious.

Lin Yan and the others then realized that these nine giant dragons were not illusory Dao essences, but the Dharma Forms of nine Yuan Shen-level dragon species condensed into Dharma Forms!

Zhang Longfu's expression was indifferent. Hearing the shaking dragon roars, he raised his hand and shook his sleeves violently.

"Noisy!"

Boom!

With just a scolding, the various wind and thunder gathered in the long sky were completely torn apart.

The invisible sound waves swept up rolling spiritual energy and turned into a substantial, shocking wave, almost slamming towards the nine giant dragons above the dome of heaven at the same time as the dragon roars exploded.

"Roar~"

Seeing the spiritual energy like a tide, the nine dragons roared in violent anger. Shaking their dragon bodies, they were about to pounce down from the high sky and tear the enemy into pieces.

In the next instant, the nine dragons, who were originally furious, suddenly lowered their heads, extinguished all their arrogance, and didn't even care about the spiritual energy torrent about to crash down.

Da!

Da!

Da!

A crisp tapping sound, like drum beats, slowly rang out amidst the激荡torrent. This sound was not very loud, but it had already suppressed the deafening raging tide:

"The Heavenly Blade Seven Kill Reversal Fate Technique is nothing more, but this move of yours, the Xun Formation method, has made this seat curious."

Whoosh~

As if speaking the law, with just a word, the boiling spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to have received a decree, and they all subsided, and the gathered wind and thunder also dissipated into nothingness.

A indifferent gaze flowed down from the throne and fell on Zhang Longfu, rarely without directly reprimanding, but with a touch of inquiry:

"Under the Ancestor's Panlong Staff, are there still Zhuge disciples who haven't died?"

Zhuge disciples?!

On the mountain city teleportation platform, Lin Yan's heart trembled violently.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the last Heavenly Master of Great Xia used the Great Xia Nine Cauldrons as a price to cast the forbidden technique "Heavenly Blade Seven Kill Reversal Fate Technique," which not only extended Great Xia's national fortune by ten thousand years, but also influenced later generations.

Even now, Great Zhou was still unable to unify Southern Zhan, let alone restore the situation where Great Xia commanded the four seas and all the scenery followed.

With the power of one person, shaking the world so much, Zhuge himself was instantly reduced to ashes, and his direct bloodline, as well as all his nephews and disciples, all died in the angry attack of the Great Zhou Ancestor.

It was said that the Great Zhou Crown Prince directly shattered the souls of all people and beasts in the world connected to Zhuge's fate with the Panlong Staff.

With his unparalleled cultivation, could anyone have escaped?

"Zhuge hated my cruel killing and abolished my foundation, abandoning me in a barren mountain, letting me be gnawed by all beasts, neither human nor noble..."

"But we, after all, survived... Who knows, who knows..."

Zhang Longfu's expression was indifferent and resentful, and his eyes flickered with tyranny and madness: "It doesn't matter to us whether Long Pan slaughters Zhuge's ten clans or ten thousand clans. Why, why..."

Zhang Longfu's mind was filled with madness.

He would never forget how ruthless, decisive, domineering, and cold the Panlong Staff that fell from the sky was.

It was also that staff that made him fall into the hands of that old donkey after escaping the gnawing of ten thousand beasts, and be a beast of burden for tens of thousands of years...

"Heh~"

Having said that, Zhang Longfu seemed to want to say something, but Long Xingyi on the throne pulled by the nine dragons seemed to be annoyed and interrupted.

The tone was unkind:

"So, you are just a Zhuge abandon who was lucky enough to escape the Ancestor's Panlong Staff?!"

"Hmm?!"

Zhang Longfu suddenly raised his head, and a world-destroying tyrannical aura burst out from his crimson eyes: "What did you say?"

"Wasting this seat's time..."

Long Xingyi tapped the back of his chair, his eyes without a trace of warmth, icy cold:

"Exterminate!"

A single word was like the sun in the sky!

At the moment its sound resounded, boundless terrifying cold tides burst out from the void, like a catastrophic disaster intending to cleanse the heavens and the earth.

With an unstoppable, powerful posture, it was about to erase Zhang Longfu, along with the mountains and rivers for hundreds of thousands of miles below him, from the world!

"A mere avatar dares to be so presumptuous?!"

Under the ocean-like divine light, Zhang Longfu completely erupted, and endless blood energy burst out from his towering body.

It turned into seven huge demon shadows standing between the earth and the sky, roaring and roaring, wanting to tear everything above the dome of heaven to pieces!

"Run!"

On the mountain city, someone's eyelids twitched wildly, and finally couldn't hold back their fear, letting out a sharp scream, and soaring into the air, wanting to escape.

"Don't!"

Qi Xuan Zhenyi's expression changed drastically, but how could he have time to stop it?

Before a word could be uttered, those who had fled first were already submerged by the invisible air waves the moment they escaped the scope of the mountain city, and disappeared without a trace before they could even scream.

"You... wait, that is?"

Qi Xuan Zhenyi was both angry and anxious, and was about to scold, but suddenly his expression changed again. Lin Yan and the others also noticed something was wrong and looked back suddenly.

They saw a divine light suddenly coming from the northernmost night sky, its speed extremely fast. In an instant, it had遁破broken through thousands or tens of thousands of miles, rushing towards this place with an extremely domineering posture!

The divine light was dazzling, gorgeous, and extremely dazzling. Wherever it passed, the sky, the night, the earth, the mountains and rivers, and even everything that could be seen,

All turned five-colored, all became five-colored!

The divine light was five-colored,纵天coming across the sky!

"That is..."
