Chapter 152 - 181: Seated in the Clouds, One Hand Covers the Sky; Astride a Dragon, a Graceful Departure
’Damn it! How could the Golden Flood Dragon King possibly have learned that Great Power’s Divine Techniques!?’
The expressions of Wu Tianming and Yun Wuya changed drastically!
Just as they had this thought, the two saw the Golden Flood Dragon King, Ao Jin, take out an aqua-blue Jade Bead. A crisp CRACK echoed in their ears.
Immediately after, a torrential downpour began to fall from the sky!
That rain.
A single drop hitting the ground would spawn a volume of water comparable to a great river.
Countless raindrops fell, and in just an instant,
the hundred-mile Red Flame Ridge had become a boundless ocean, completely submerging the three people below.
Outside the city, atop towering waves and amidst thunderclouds, the thousand-zhang Golden Dragon spoke.
The dragon’s roar resounded through heaven and earth.
Under the glow of the blue pearl, a mysterious and immense power radiated outward.
RUMBLE!
It was the sound of the earth cracking apart!
With Red Flame Ridge as the epicenter, enormous fissures split open the ground.
From these fissures, countless torrents of water gushed forth.
They merged seamlessly with the ocean on the surface, making the waters even more vast and terrifying!
Immediately, the Golden Flood Dragon King twisted its body. Riding this endless ocean, it tore through the land as it charged toward Xia Imperial City!
Everywhere it passed turned into a kingdom of water!
"Your Majesty has succeeded!"
The white-browed old man and the Beautiful Lady, who were hiding in the shadows, raised their heads high. They cheered with fanatical fervor as they watched the boundlessly domineering and terrifyingly powerful Golden Flood Dragon King.
’The True Dragon Blood Bead!’
’I must obtain it!’
Meanwhile, the Golden Flood Dragon King, Ao Jin, soared above the endless ocean.
His gaze was fixed on the Imperial Palace, his expression fervent!
He knew in his heart that the lost True Dragon Blood Bead must be hidden somewhere within the Great Xia Imperial Palace.
And now, having stirred up a boundless ocean, his North Nether Divine Techniques combined with the waters, seeping into every inch of land within the Imperial City.
In an instant, he sensed the aura of the True Dragon Blood Bead!
Overjoyed, he immediately unleashed a Dragon Clan Secret Technique to draw out the True Dragon Blood Bead.
HUMMM!!!
From the depths of the Imperial Palace, a massive, crimson gem burst forth, radiating a dense, scarlet aura as it tore through the air.
"Haha! I have finally obtained the True Dragon Blood Bead!"
Ao Jin gripped the True Dragon Blood Bead tightly in his golden dragon claw, his roar like thunder!
"Damn it!"
Wu Tianming shattered a raging torrent with a palm strike, but compared to the entire ocean, it was utterly insignificant.
"That Ao Jin actually diverted a tributary of the North Sea!"
"If we don’t cut off the tributary’s path, the ocean will inevitably overwhelm the Imperial City!"
Yun Wuya blew apart a section of the river with a single punch. Crimson waves of flame incinerated the water, and he spoke with a grim expression.
He had already seen through the situation.
"The North Sea tributary’s path? How are we supposed to cut that off?"
Wu Tianming’s expression was one of shock and horror!
ROAR!!
The two had no time to think.
Just then, a dragon’s roar that shook their very Heart Spirits came from the sky above.
It turned out that after obtaining the True Dragon Blood Bead, the Golden Flood Dragon King had swallowed it in one gulp.
Its Cultivation and strength began to skyrocket!
Its body erupted with crimson flames, and its size swelled to three thousand zhang!
Its aura also became majestic and noble!
It was utterly terrifying!
From a distance, it looked like an insurmountable golden Celestial Gate!
"Transform into Dragon!"
High in the sky, the Golden Flood Dragon King looked down, its voice like thunder.
In an instant, the boundless ocean transformed into a water dragon that stretched across the sky, galloping and roaring.
Then, it dove with its draconic body!
Pouring down!
"Kill!!"
The auras of the two men erupted. With eyes wide in fury, they were just about to strike and intercept!
BOOM—
A giant golden palm, with small golden dragons coiling around its knuckles, appeared.
Like a cluster of mountain peaks, it descended from the heavens!
"HISSS—"
The vast, boundless water dragon had just let out a hiss when the domineering golden hand...
...seized it by the throat!
Then, with a RRRIP!
The golden hand clenched its five fingers!
The water dragon let out a mournful cry and exploded with a bang!
In an instant, it turned back into an endless torrent of water, plummeting from the sky!
"Not good!"
Before Wu Tianming and Yun Wuya could even show a hint of joy, their expressions changed drastically!
If they let this water crash down, the entire Xia Imperial City would be swallowed by the flood!
The casualties would be countless!
Before the two could think any further, something suddenly flashed before their eyes.
In the next moment, they couldn’t help but squint, tears streaming uncontrollably from the corners of their eyes.
Light!
Endless golden light!
Like a vast sea of clouds, it filled the entire sky!
All the common people and Martial Artists in the Imperial City subconsciously closed their eyes.
BOOM!!
Immediately after, a deafening roar filled their ears, followed by an extremely miserable dragon’s cry!
At that moment, heaven and earth lost their color; there was only the golden light!
An unknown amount of time passed before everyone finally opened their tear-blurred eyes.
They looked up at the sky, their expressions dazed.
They saw that in the sky above, the rain, the tidal waves, the dark clouds, the lightning...
...had all vanished.
Only a vast Fist Seal, stretching in all directions, was deeply imprinted upon the firmament.
It blotted out the sun!
"This senior... he’s truly invincible..."
On the dry ground, Wu Tianming stared blankly at the sky, tears streaming from his eyes as he muttered to himself.
Beside him, Yun Wuya was shocked into silence.
Though the tidal wave outside had subsided,
the raging torrent stirred in the depths of his heart could not be calmed for a long, long time!
...
Deep within the clouds, Su Bai stared at a piece of charred Dragon Flesh in his hand and fell silent.
’I was too careless!’
’I shouldn’t have used my full strength just now. Great, now the Dragon Flesh is ruined!’
The piece of Dragon Flesh in his hand, which reeked of a strong burnt smell, was something he had managed to find with great difficulty among the Golden Flood Dragon King’s remains.
Just from the smell, Su Bai couldn’t bring himself to take a bite!
But then, he had another thought.
’They say stinky tofu smells bad but tastes delicious!’
’Maybe Dragon Flesh is the same.’
’Should I try a bite?’
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
A moment later, the sounds of Su Bai’s gagging and miserable howling came from deep within the clouds!
The sound carried for a hundred miles.
It was because this Dragon Flesh was just so damn disgusting!
...
After finally recovering from the tragic taste of the Dragon Flesh, Su Bai took out a completely crimson gem, his expression curious.
"So this is the True Dragon Blood Bead?"
Although he didn’t know the true purpose of this True Dragon Blood Bead, he understood one thing in his heart.
’This True Dragon Blood Bead is definitely durable!’
After all, his punch had not only dispersed all the floodwaters but had also obliterated the Golden Flood Dragon King whose Cultivation had greatly increased.
But this True Dragon Blood Bead, which the Golden Flood Dragon King had swallowed, was completely unscathed.
’How could it not be durable!’
After a moment of thought, Su Bai had already decided how to use this True Dragon Blood Bead.
「A short while later.」
Su Bai’s figure flickered, and he soon arrived at the Purgatory Demon Cave.
He swept away the deep Demonic Qi swirling above the Demon Cave, landed on the ground, and then summoned the Black Demon Dragon.
Hearing Su Bai’s call, Hei Wushuang hurriedly scampered over to him. It lowered its body and excitedly nuzzled its head against Su Bai.
Its massive dragon tail wagged back and forth!
Just like a little puppy!
"Alright! Settle down!"
Su Bai patted its huge head, then took out the True Dragon Blood Bead.
"Roar?"
Seeing the True Dragon Blood Bead, Hei Wushuang brought its head closer and sniffed it vigorously with the tip of its nose. Then, it tilted its large head and let out a confused, low growl.
"Here, it’s for you!"
Su Bai didn’t think much of it and casually tossed it over.
"With Hei Wushuang and the Black Nether Wolf constantly hunting, the number of Demon Fiends here has decreased quite a bit."
Then, Su Bai casually glanced around and murmured softly.
’Looks like I’ll have to find a new Demon Cave!’
After a moment of contemplation, Su Bai summoned the Black Nether Wolf.
"HAH~ HAH~"
Upon seeing Su Bai, the Black Nether Wolf ran back and forth excitedly before stopping, its big black tongue hanging out as it panted continuously!
Su Bai’s expression was strange.
For some reason, Su Bai felt that the Black Nether Wolf was really becoming more and more like an Erha!
"Let’s go. Time to find you two a new home!"
After recalling the Black Nether Wolf into his Demon Taming Space, Su Bai patted Hei Wushuang’s head and said with a smile.
"ROAR!"
Hei Wushuang immediately understood and respectfully lowered its head.
Su Bai leaped into the air and stood on the dragon’s head.
The Black Demon Dragon threw its head back and roared, then took to the skies with a powerful beat of its wings.
Trailing a wisp of rosy cloud from the horizon, it departed with carefree grace!
