Chapter 585: Centipede to Dragon, the Body of the Celestial Dragon

All of this is a ruse.

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King has set his sights on the Great Qi Dynasty's Fortune Gold Dragon—the gold dragon that symbolizes the dynasty's fortune—making it his prey; this is the most crucial part and the necessary condition for his dragon transformation.

Those people, those Black Dragon Guard, and even the beliefs within Wangdu are all ruses; the true objective is the Fortune Gold Dragon.

Chen Chuyang reacted in an instant, muttering, "What a cunning Demon King; the Fortune Gold Dragon is hard to devour, but perhaps his words can serve as a basis for completing his own metamorphosis."

"Qi Ruohua is not so easy to handle; the Fortune Gold Dragon concerns the future of the Great Qi Dynasty, how could she let it go so easily?"

Chen Chuyang lifted his head and looked at Qi Ruohua in the sky; did that woman notice?

The battle between the Fortune Gold Dragon and Mu Longhao is meant to confuse them and to drain the Fortune Gold Dragon's power.

All of this was pre‑designed by the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King, waiting for a moment; once the moment arrives, he will act immediately.

Buddha Light spreads; the Ten Thousand Buddha Ascension Formation expands continuously, seeming to envelop Wangdu and then the entire Fortune Gold Dragon, making the dragon appear merely incidental, leading others to think his target is the whole Wangdu.

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King is also creating an illusion for them, making them believe his purpose is Wangdu, and indeed he is heading toward the humans in Wangdu; this kind of design is terrifying—one careless move and they'll fall onto the path.

Zhuge Ruolan's pupils suddenly contracted as she stared at the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King, then looked at the Fortune Gold Dragon in the sky, then at the Ten Thousand Buddha Ascension Formation; her expression darkened.

"Chen Chuyang, the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King's goal is not Wangdu but that Fortune Gold Dragon; he wants to devour it and sacrifice the entire Great Qi Dynasty's fortune to advance himself into a dragon."

"He's so insane, setting conditions on the Fortune Gold Dragon; this demon is truly mad."

"He hides deeply; likely those people were all deceived by him."

When Zhuge Ruolan uttered that, Li Shenghong beside her trembled, recalling something.

Li Shenghong spoke, "Holy Maiden, it is rumored that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple holds a secret method to transform into a dragon, based on devouring the dynasty's Fortune Gold Dragon to achieve Advancement."

"I always thought that method was false; unexpectedly, it is real, and he has obtained it."

The Ten Thousand Buddha Temple's dragon‑transformation method is highly mysterious; there was a legend about it back then.

It was never verified; later the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple was destroyed, and no further news of the method appeared.

At that moment, the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King's mad actions reminded him of that legend.

Chen Chuyang thought lightly, "A dragon‑transformation method? So it is indeed that way."

It seems his conjecture is correct; this Demon King set out from the start toward the Fortune Gold Dragon, so his actions along the way are perfectly explained—enlightening those people, seizing their beliefs—not for those people.

He has been heading toward Wangdu all the way, even deceiving Mu Longhao along the way, that is…

"The terrifying Ten Thousand Poison Demon King has schemed everyone."

As the saying goes, observers see clearly; standing aside to watch the drama, they can naturally discern a clue.

Even if the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King hides extremely well, he cannot conceal his purpose.

But the people fighting inside are different.

They are in danger, their lives threatened; they cannot calmly analyze the problem.

"Chen Chuyang, should we warn them?"

This battle is truly interesting; the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King used the Demon‑Subduing Pestle and Ten Thousand Buddha Tower, Protector suppressed many condensed pills, Buddha Light enlightened them, causing internal division, making those believers start killing each other; this move is very powerful.

Those whose hearts are not steadfast, when they encounter him, are likely to be brainwashed and thus enlightened.

"You can try, I don't mind."

Chen Chuyang doesn't want to do that; watching the drama is most important, and he also wants to see the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King succeed in dragon transformation.

Dragon transformation is indeed rare.

For such a beast, once it successfully transforms, it poses no harm to him.

The White Deer King's scheme becomes gradually clear.

All of this is linked to his scheme; to disrupt this world, the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King is needed.

"The White Deer King truly is a good schemer, using the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King as a pawn, step by step letting him disrupt this world, thereby unsettling the Heavenly Heart Sect, and at the same time, this is also his pawn to test the Heavenly Heart Sect."

"The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King has not disappointed him; demon‑buddha dual cultivation, talent is decent, I wonder to what extent he can achieve?"

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King's actions are intricately linked with the White Deer King.

His ability to revive is probably also a method of the White Deer King.

These ancient undead are not simple.

Chen Chuyang once again realized the power of veteran Strong Ones; their strength may not be truly great, but their schemes and arrangements have already penetrated every corner of this world.

"The Heavenly Heart Sect should also fall into chaos; the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King's Buddha Light can enlighten the sect's disciples, causing internal division."

However, it requires sacrificing the Great Qi Dynasty's Fortune Gold Dragon; this is human fortune, unrelated to the Monster Race.

If it's gone, it's gone; the human world should also fragment.

The Great Qi Dynasty has unified this world for too long; they cannot continue to rule.

Chen Chuyang's thinking is the same: the Great Qi Dynasty's power is rising quickly, its foundations remain strong; after one internal strife that killed many Strong Ones, there are still many Strong Ones left.

Weakening them once more would be best.

The Chen Clan wishes to rise, but the Great Qi Dynasty is insurmountable.

At present they appear to be in a cooperative relationship; once Qi Ruohua fully controls the Great Qi Dynasty and exterminates those families, she can free her hand to deal with them, for any emperor would not allow a threatening force within his own dynasty.

Qi Ruohua is no exception.

Her not acting now does not mean she won't act later.

Weaken them, then keep them perpetually in danger, with no intention of confronting the Chen Clan; this is best.

Black Dragon Guard, Jing Yuheng, and those people should all be weakened a bit.

The Chen Clan is still too weak; against the Great Qi Dynasty and Heavenly Heart Sect, they are far behind.

They need time to grow, which requires him to create conditions so the Chen Clan is not targeted.

Zhuge Ruolan also understands this; the Chen Clan, and she, both need time.

At present this is best; these forces are fighting each other internally, and the Yin Gui Sect has no time to govern itself, allowing it to continuously develop; give her more time, it will grow, and then when the Yin Gui Sect wants to deal with her, it must also weigh itself.

She makes no move, so Li Shenghong naturally won't act rashly; they stand here, watching the drama.

Inside the Myriad Buddhas Ascend to Heaven Grand Formation.

The Myriad Poisons Demon King suddenly leapt up, heading toward the golden dragon of fortune in the sky.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

The next moment, they came to their senses.
