Chapter 1669: A Dragon, A Tiger, and A Youth
Yu Caidie left with Third Yu Ancestor.
Both Purple Lightning Marquis and Xiang Yangzhan failed to keep her behind as that was her own choice. She had transmitted to them that she wanted to return and obtain an even stronger inheritance. She assured them that they did not need to worry about her. In truth, they knew that she had only decided to leave for the sake of the sect.
"I don't know how to face the overlord after this," said Purple Lightning Marquis guiltily.
"Damn it. Just wait. After I advance by one more stage, I'll kill that old bastard," cursed Xiang Yangzhan.
The two were greatly provoked, and after leaving some words to the sect, they immediately left for the outside domain to search for new opportunities. They needed to grow even stronger. Only then would they be able to protect the Ziling Sect and the people they cared about.
Over the past two years, Scarlet Flame Monarch had been busy helping Li Juetian search for Old Man Three Severing's ultimate inheritance. The search had allowed Li Juetian to grow rapidly, and it seemed like he stood a good chance at breaking through into the God Realm. The moment he broke through successfully, his Sky Severing Sword Technique would also become domineeringly powerful.
As for Devouring Ghost, he was busy cultivating his blood demon. With the blood demon, he constantly fought the devils and gathered many powerful bloodlines. In fact, the blood demon had even surpassed his main body in strength. However, that was far from enough—chaotic times had arrived.
Apart from the Gods who yearned for more strength, all other cultivators were also searching for more strength. The Ziling Sect also needed to strengthen its foundations.
In the Ziling Sect, one person in particular finally emerged as a new powerhouse with his astonishing growth. He was none other than Chen Zilong, the Qilin Arms.
It was unknown where he had found a land of qilins, but his fortuitous encounter had allowed his qilin arms to become even scarier. His strength rose rapidly until peak Sovereign Realm, putting him only a step away from the Saint Realm.
One ought to know that he was initially only at the Dragon Ascension Realm. It was very incredible that he had advanced so much in a short few years. His duel with Long Yugang of the Dragon Society had also attracted quite a lot of attention.
The Dragon Society had become Ziling Sect's subsidiary organization, so the two should have been united. Thus, Chen Zilong's action of challenging the Dragon Society's young society master shocked many people.
Subsequently, someone exposed that Long Yugang was the one who had caused the death of Chen Zilong's beloved and had robbed everything from the Chen family. The grudge between the two was not something that could be easily resolved.
When the Dragon Society's master found out, he did not have the courage to stop the duel. Rather, he encouraged the two to fight a battle to the death so that they could end the grudge once and for all.
Ultimately, Chen Zilong unleashed his qilin arms and threw a world-shaking punch that pulverized Long Yugang with one hit. Only then did everyone realize that Chen Zilong had grown so strong unknowingly. Even an ordinary Saint wouldn't be his match. If he was given 100 more years, he would probably grow into a powerful king among Saints.
Apart from Chen Zilong, Guo Po also started displaying his talent. News of his innate eye abilities spread during his travels around the world, and he had long reached the Dragon Ascension Realm. Once, a Sovereign nearly killed him, forcing him to kill that Sovereign with his unique eyes.
Anyone with innate eye abilities was an extremely terrifying opponent. After that incident, Guo Po came to be known as the Bizarre Eyes Emperor and was lauded as an up-and-coming youngster just as talented as his master. He successfully became the first senior brother of his generation in the sect, becoming a role model for the sect's other young disciples.
...
Far into the North Illusionary Sea, the sea region surrounding the Illusory Island was filled with three terrifying auras. The auras constantly clashed, overturning the sea around the region and unleashing enough might to destroy everything in the region. This was basically a natural calamity on an even bigger scale than the tsunamis around the Illusory Island.
From far away, a dragon and a tiger could be seen soaring and roaring. There was an azure dragon with a massive body that was extremely conspicuous. Its green scales looked incomparably tough, while its horns, which were massive enough to hold up the sky itself, were supremely majestic and domineering.
There was a white tiger. It was as large as a mountain, and its four limbs were powerful and forceful. Each swipe of its claws could tear the world apart, and the "king" character on its forehead looked valiant and overbearing. These two were actual bodies of the beasts rather than mere phantoms.
The azure dragons and white tigers were the two strongest combat races among the demonic beasts. The two also symbolized the strongest life forms, and surprisingly, they had both appeared at the same place.
The two were not fighting each other. Rather, they were attacking a young human together. That young human's back was held straight, and his sparkling, long hair drifted about in an ethereal manner. A faint smile hung on his flawless face, which could enchant countless life forms. Every move of his seemed to contain some indescribable profundity, as though the world itself was within his grasp and no power in the world was beyond his control. The dragon and tiger attacked mercilessly, but the young human was able to face them easily, demonstrating an astonishing combat strength.
"If you don't get serious, then don't blame me for not showing any mercy," said the young human after pushing the dragon and the tiger back once again.
"Boss, you're getting too cocky! Take my full-powered punch!" roared the white tiger as he finally used his true strength, unleashing a golden tiger punch forward. The punch tore furiously toward the young man. Space itself was reduced into a vacuum as the punch flew forward with incredible destructiveness.
"Boss, watch. This is my supreme draconic aura!" roared the azure dragon as his long and slender body erupted with a burst of power. His combat strength surged, and a greenish-red breath shot out of his mouth toward the young man.
Azure Dragon Spits Red Clouds!
The greenish-red clouds advanced, reducing everything in their path into nothingness. This attack was not weaker than the tiger punch. The two attacks were enough to force even a sixth-stage Rebirth Realm expert to flee. Facing the two dreadful attacks, the young man seemed completely calm. A unique aura flowed around his body as he punched at the tiger punch with one hand and slashed at the greenish-red clouds with his other hand.
The torrential fist intent shook the sky, and the ray threatened to split the earth. The attacks collided, overturning a massive area of sea. As countless 10,000-meter-high waves rose, not a single aquatic lifeform survived in the area. The sea turned berserk for a long, long time.
That was the strength of Gods, a strength without boundaries. When everything settled, the dragon and the tiger had distanced themselves considerably from the youth. Meanwhile, the youth remained standing where he was. He looked casual and relaxed, as though he had not moved at all.
"Boss, you're a freak!" cursed the white tiger.
The azure dragon agreed, "Yes, yes. You're actually stronger than a dragon? I have no choice but to shower you with my respect."
"Haha, if I'm not this impressive, how can I be your boss?" said the young man as he faced the sky and laughed heartily. He then muttered, "It's time we go back."
