Chapter 525 - 521: The Jade Seal Changes Hands
As soon as the great seal appeared, all the Martial Artists understood why Young Master Moon possessed an inexhaustible supply of True Essence.
In the face of Emperor Dragon Qi, even the elemental energy of heaven and earth seemed insignificant.
It was impossible to imagine how much elemental energy was needed to convert into a single wisp of Yellow Dragon Qi.
At that moment, as the great seal bore down on Lin Hao, none of the Martial Artists dared to even breathe.
Emperor Dragon Qi was something only an empire’s Monarch was worthy of possessing. It was exclusive to the supreme ruler, so one could only imagine its power.
No one could have imagined that Young Master Moon had such a Spiritual Artifact in his possession.
Now that Young Master Moon had deployed a Spiritual Artifact containing Emperor Dragon Qi, combined with his own cultivation, he could likely sweep through the entire Soul Gathering Realm unopposed.
What could Lin Hao possibly use to defend himself?!
Lin Hao’s performance just now had been too astonishing. In everyone’s hearts, they believed he definitely still had some tricks up his sleeve.
All the Martial Artists stared intently at the empty space, filled with anticipation.
But in the next instant, the faces of the Martial Artists from the Cangnan Empire turned deathly pale, their expressions filled with despair.
Because Young Master Moon had once again unleashed his Divine Soul!
With the attack from the Spiritual Artifact containing Emperor Dragon Qi, coupled with Young Master Moon’s Divine Soul, even if Lin Hao possessed heaven-defying abilities, he likely had no way to turn the tide.
If Lin Hao was destroyed, they wouldn’t live long enough to enter the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion.
Nourished by the Emperor Dragon Qi, Young Master Moon’s Divine Soul changed its form once again.
Seven branches separated from the main trunk, then grew frantically into lush, otherworldly trees.
Along with the main trunk, eight otherworldly trees took root in the void, trapping Lin Hao in the center.
And in the space above him was the magnified great seal.
Lin Hao had nowhere to retreat.
"Lin Hao, I told you I would make you die without a burial place! Before me, you are nothing but an ant." Young Master Moon stood in the void, his hair whipping wildly about him, his sharp aura on full display, his arrogance boundless.
Suppressed by the Yellow Dragon Qi, Lin Hao would have absolutely no chance to counterattack.
One had to understand, this great seal of his was crafted based on the Moon Worship Empire’s Heirloom Seal of the Realm. Its Refining had taken several hundred years, passing through the hands of three generations of the Moon Worship Empire’s Monarchs.
It could be said that this great seal contained the martial will of three generations of Monarchs. Forget Lin Hao, who was only at the Seventh Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm; even if he were at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm, he would still be nothing but an ant beneath this seal.
Young Master Moon had proven with his actions that he was the true master here.
Young Master Moon’s gaze was one of utter disdain, and a faint kingly aura began to emanate from his body.
At this moment, Young Master Moon truly felt as if he had transcended the heavens and the earth.
Young Master Moon’s eyes lit up. He knew this was a sign of his cultivation advancing.
"Lin Hao, I should really thank you. It won’t be long before I can break through once more." Looking down into the void below, Young Master Moon was in high spirits.
At this moment, all he could see was the great seal continuously descending. Lin Hao’s body, beneath it, was naturally completely out of sight.
"Lin Hao, allow me to send you on your way!" Young Master Moon declared, full of vigor, his voice echoing throughout the world.
As he spoke, Young Master Moon’s body plummeted like a meteorite, and in an instant, his feet landed atop the great seal.
The great seal then suppressed everything below it with even greater speed—crushing all opposition, moving ever forward, utterly unstoppable.
The Martial Artists at the gates of Wangchuan City followed the great seal with their eyes until it disappeared from view.
"Hahaha, Lin Hao is finished." At this, a Martial Artist from the Moon Worship Empire burst out laughing.
"The Emperor Dragon Qi suppresses all. Lin Hao won’t even leave dregs behind."
"Fighting our Prince? He really overestimated himself."
The Martial Artists from the Moon Worship Empire spoke one after another, all with excited expressions.
At this very moment, they were all proud to be part of the Moon Worship Empire.
"Emperor Dragon Qi, heh." But just then, a dissonant voice came from among the Cangnan Empire’s Martial Artists.
The Martial Artists of the Moon Worship Empire glared over angrily and saw the iron-tower-like Shenshan.
Next to Shenshan were the four people who had fought alongside him earlier.
Upon seeing them, the Martial Artists from the Moon Worship Empire couldn’t help but shrink back.
These few had just proven they could contend with He Jundao. Without Young Master Moon present, they didn’t dare act rashly.
Nevertheless, someone still spoke up, "When our Prince returns, it will be the day you die."
"He won’t be coming back," said Yang Peng, who stood beside Shenshan.
The injuries they had just sustained were severe, but ever since they were able to stand, they had remained at the very front.
To them, every move Lin Hao made was something to learn from. How could they let such an opportunity pass?
As for the Yellow Dragon Qi, they weren’t the least bit worried.
They all possessed bloodlines created by Lin Hao. That Bloodline Power was hardly any weaker than the dragon qi. Lin Hao himself had faced that power and emerged unscathed, so how could Yellow Dragon Qi possibly stop him?
The only things they found troublesome were Young Master Moon’s Divine Soul and the power of that Spiritual Artifact.
However, they had absolute faith in Lin Hao, a confidence born the moment he had forged their bloodlines.
The moment Yang Peng’s voice fell, the crowd felt the ground begin to shake violently. Immediately after, Wangchuan City was once again enveloped in a strange protective energy.
Needless to say, that last strike was definitely the result of Lin Hao colliding with the great seal.
The Martial Artists all widened their eyes and stared into the void before them, wanting to see the outcome of this battle.
The next moment, the space at the wide-open gates of Wangchuan City began to distort.
And outside Wangchuan City, the void was collapsing.
What was happening?!
This was the question on countless people’s minds.
ROAR!
The next moment, they heard the roar of a dragon!
Not even the mysterious power protecting Wangchuan City could completely block out the dragon’s roar. Countless people felt a sharp pain in their eardrums.
Just then, Young Master Moon’s body shot up from below, rising high into the sky.
At almost the same instant, a giant dragon also soared into the sky.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A dragon. It was a creature of legend, the ruler of all creation, and yet it had just manifested here.
"His Highness truly is the Son of Heaven! He summoned a Divine Dragon!"
"His Highness is too strong."
Some Martial Artists from the Moon Worship Empire stared with adoration at Young Master Moon and the Divine Dragon in the void outside.
’Wait! That’s not a real dragon.’
Some of the more powerful Martial Artists saw through the illusion.
HISS!
The next moment, these Martial Artists thought of a possibility, their eyes widening as they drew in a sharp breath.
Just as they expected, a figure appeared in the void.
It was Lin Hao!
The faces of the Moon Worship Empire’s Martial Artists stiffened, thinking they must be seeing things.
"Lin Hao, hand over the Jade Seal and I’ll spare your life!" In the void, Young Master Moon glared at Lin Hao, his fists clenched tightly.
Hearing this, Lin Hao just smiled. With a flip of his hand, a great seal appeared in his palm. "You mean this?"
"What?!" Seeing this, the Martial Artists’ eyes bulged wide as saucers.
Because the great seal in Lin Hao’s hand was clearly Young Master Moon’s.
Young Master Moon had used a Spiritual Artifact containing Emperor Dragon Qi and his Divine Soul, but in the end, the Spiritual Artifact had changed hands. The shock was simply too much to bear.
