Dominating Martial King

However, its eyes were tightly closed, as if in a deep slumber.

"What is this?" Lu Luan also gazed at the treasure bead, his expression surprised: "Is this from Azure Dragon Star Lord or Canglong?"

This treasure bead was ejected from Mu Long’s body after it self-destructed.

At that time, Void God She Yuan intended to snatch this item away, but was thwarted by Li Tan’s overwhelming weapon assault, failing in his attempt.

Even then, the item was still under the control of She Yuan’s void grasp.

But the strike launched by Lu Luan caused the item to slip from She Yuan’s grasp, allowing Chu Xisheng to seize it amidst the chaos.

At first, she thought it was a powerful divine artifact, but she didn’t expect there to be a dragon inside.

Lu Luan could confirm beyond all doubt that there was a true dragon within, an incredibly powerful dragon that was sealed.

"It should be Azure Dragon, the true Azure Dragon Meng Zhang."

Chu Xisheng observed the treasure bead, deep in thought: "This is the true source of Canglong’s power. He used this to extract power from the true Azure Dragon Star Lord. However, the treasure bead itself is extraordinary, its nature unknown."

After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment before starting to gather power.

About three breaths later, Chu Xisheng suddenly slashed the treasure bead with a blade.

Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, was the younger brother of the Second Generation Yinglong.

Originally, he too had the Yinglong body, but he voluntarily integrated the power of wood technique and life, becoming Azure Dragon.

He is the most steadfast ally of the Human Clan.

Since Chu Xisheng encountered him, he naturally had to do his best to aid Meng Zhang Divine Monarch out of his predicament.

However, when he slashed down, the treasure bead did not even bear the slightest scratch.

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.

Even though he had lost the enemy intent and murderous thoughts that once gathered on him, this slash was definitely at Near God Level.

Chu Xisheng used a sword skill from the Heaven Slaying Blade, the God Slaying Extreme Move ’Destroying Heaven and Earth’!

Its divine might was colossal; even a Lower Eternal Divine wouldn’t escape completely unscathed from this blade.

Chu Xisheng never expected this slash couldn’t leave even a scratch on the azure treasure bead.

He then recalled that this bead was ejected from Mu Long’s body.

The explosion of a Quasi-Emperor Level divine body couldn’t damage this treasure bead at all, illustrating how indestructible this item was.

Chu Xisheng already sensed that releasing the Azure Dragon within wouldn’t be easy.

Chu Xisheng studied it for a moment, ultimately choosing to give up.

This treasure bead contained extremely powerful divine prohibitions, preventing even communication with the Azure Dragon Star Lord’s divine sense thought.

It seemed he could only seek help from the Three Generations of Saint Emperor and Wood Sword Immortal after getting out, to see if they had any means to assist the Azure Dragon Star Lord.

But just as he was about to put away the azure treasure bead.

Lu Luan suddenly stirred slightly: "Let me try that bead."

Chu Xisheng immediately passed it over as instructed.

He displayed an expectant look: "Luanli, do you have a way to break the divine prohibition inside? Be careful, it struggles fiercely, it could easily slip away if you’re not careful."

His Li’er, though sometimes unreliable, had talent second only to Chu Yunyun, truly a genius sorcerer.

If not for Luanyi’s earlier strike, his current situation would be ten times more dangerous.

Lu Luan did not respond immediately; she took the treasure bead in hand and observed it closely for a moment, then shook her head: "The divine prohibition is very tight and strong, likely at Half-Step Creation Level. I can’t think of anything. However—"

She formed a seal with her hands and closed her eyes.

Lu Luan’s aura suddenly changed, becoming distant and serene.

Chu Xisheng raised an eyebrow.

Is this entering a dream?

He sensed the power of dreams.

Luanyi was attempting to infiltrate the Azure Dragon’s dreamscape.

Chu Xisheng waited patiently, and finally, after about fifteen minutes, saw Lu Luan open her eyes again.

Her eyes filled with joy, and she formed another handprint: "I’ve done it!"

At that moment, boundless cloud energy and dream power gathered, forming a massive dragon spanning 780 zhang.

This giant dragon’s form was identical to the dragon shadow inside the azure bead, but its eyes were open, its golden dragon pupils gazing around.

Chu Xisheng was overjoyed, silently praising Luanyi in his heart.

Using dreams to communicate with the Azure Dragon and then gathering dream power to manifest the dragon’s residual form—this was sheer genius.

After the massive Azure Dragon swept a glance around, confusion appeared on its face: "Where is this place?"

It then fixed its gaze on Chu Xisheng.

"And who are you?"

Chu Xisheng, with a solemn expression, bowed to the Azure Dragon Star Lord: "Junior of the Human Clan, Chu Xisheng, greets Meng Zhang Divine Monarch."

After the greeting, Chu Xisheng raised his head to meet the Azure Dragon Star Lord’s gaze: "This is No Heaven Black Prison, a prison built 500 million years after the fall of the Ninth Generation Heavenly Emperor by numerous Ancestor God Emperors working together to imprison Divine Monsters. It has now been approximately 1.3 million years since the fall of the Ninth Generation Heavenly Emperor."

Chu Xisheng did not know when the Azure Dragon Star Lord was sealed into the treasure bead, so he explained in detail.

"1.3 million years? Has such a long time truly passed?"

The Azure Dragon Star Lord was clearly surprised, a fleeting hint of distraction in its eyes.

But only a breath later, its gaze turned sharp: "Chu Xisheng, what exactly is your identity? I sense not only the aura of my race in you, but also the respect, fear, and hopes of countless beings. Are you the current Heavenly Emperor? No, your aura is too weak, not even a ten-thousandth of the Ninth Generation Heavenly Emperor’s. But I can deduce, your status is far from ordinary."

"Well, this junior is barely considered the Human Emperor of half the Divine Continent."

Chu Xisheng spoke with a hint of distress.

He thought to himself that explaining these terms like Divine Continent, Human Emperor, and half was complicated and would take time, so he got straight to the point: "Divine Monarch, we can discuss these trivial matters later. What’s crucial now is you. What should the two of us do to help you escape from the bead?"

If this Emperor, whose power nearly rivals that of the Ancestor Gods, could be freed, then the situation the Human Clan faces could truly be bolstered.

Previously, they could only ensure that if the Eternal Divine Race perished with them, they would take a few bites out of the enemy; now they could ensure that even if the Eternal Divine Race united in full force at all costs, they could still hold onto a corner of the Divine Continent,

However, before he finished speaking, he saw a touch of helplessness and bitterness appear on the Azure Dragon Star Lord’s face.

Chu Xisheng’s heart sank immediately.

At the sight of the Azure Dragon Star Lord’s expression, he realized that unsealing the Azure Dragon was by no means an easy task.
