Chapter 197: Return

Several True God-level existences of the demonic dragon race soared into the sky, circling Dragon Island and spitting demonic flames.

There was also an initial-stage True Immortal-level demonic dragon that poked its head out of the cave; its dragon body was a giant crocodile with dragon horns, nearly a thousand meters long, and its scales were covered with ancient scars, which were the traces left by its battles in the sea.

Besides the demonic dragon race, the other dragon clans also left their caves one after another, looking at the hundred-zhang-high dragon-headed human-bodied demonic shadow in the sky.

That terrifying dragon might, and that dragon blood pure to the extreme, they had only felt on the bodies of several Dragon Ancestors.

The Dragon Emperor looked at the gradually boiling Dragon Island, smiled helplessly, and a long-lost fighting spirit ignited in his vertical pupils.

It had been nearly ten thousand years; he couldn't even remember when the last battle was.

"Roar—!!!" The pressure unique to the Dragon Emperor was released, his figure turned into golden light and soared, revealing his true Golden Dragon body.

That peak initial-stage aura also reached a level comparable to the peak Middle-stage True Immortal under the blessing of the Dragon Emperor Crown, and even continued to climb until it reached a certain limit.

Among the four Dragon Ancestors, Ao Yun's strength is not to be mentioned for now; the gap between the upper and lower limits is extremely large.

The lower limit might not be the opponent of some peak True Gods holding immortal artifacts, while the upper limit might erupt with the power of an End Realm True Immortal from back then, sweeping the world invincible.

The realms of the Wind Ancestor and Rain Ancestor are in the middle stage of True Immortal, while the Cang Ancestor has reached the peak of the middle stage of True Immortal.

The Dragon Emperor before him, his strength has already exceeded the Wind Ancestor, Rain Ancestor, and Cang Ancestor, and can be called a half-step End Realm True Immortal.

This is the power of an End Realm Immortal Artifact, enough to allow an initial-stage True Immortal to roam beneath the End Realm.

The next instant, golden light erupted from the Dragon Emperor's dragon body, and then dissolved like liquid, turning into a human figure of the same hundred-zhang height.

Dragon-headed and human-bodied, in brilliant golden armor, holding a golden dragon spear, golden flames erupted from his body.

The spear tip pointed forward, "Daoist friend! Offense taken!"

The aura comparable to a half-step End Realm True Immortal surged wildly; even Qin Jiang felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment.

This was an existence sufficient to threaten his own life!

"Please, Daoist friend, do not hesitate to give pointers!"

After saying that, the Overlord Cauldron appeared above his demonic body, growing rapidly, turning into a giant cauldron with a diameter exceeding a hundred meters.

Grasping the foot of the Overlord Cauldron, he killed toward the Dragon Emperor, the domineering energy carried crushing the surrounding space.

"Well come! Try my spear tip!"

The Dragon Emperor laughed, the long spear swept across, and he met it head-on.

Several hours later, the figure releasing terrifying demonic flames fell, and the figure gradually returned to the size of an ordinary person.

The Overlord Cauldron whistled down, slowly shrinking as it reached the ground.

Qin Jiang raised his hand to grasp the palm-sized Overlord Cauldron, hung it at his waist, and the power of the Longevity Scripture surged; broken limbs regenerated, and the shattered internal organs also recovered.

Clenching his fist, he dispelled the Dragon Emperor's immortal power in his body, and his body gradually returned to its peak.

In the end, it was still a bit weak; against the Dragon Emperor, who was a half-step End Realm True Immortal, he could only barely contend by relying on his powerful physical body.

A beam of golden light flashed and landed before him; the Dragon Emperor grasped the dragon spear with both arms, supporting his body without falling, blood flowing on his face, and his dragon horns broken in half.

The Golden Bone Crown released golden light, restoring his injuries.

He looked at Qin Jiang, only feeling a headache; that battle just now was truly earth-shattering, and both of them were seriously injured.

If it weren't for the Dragon Emperor Crown, he would probably have to recuperate for decades to recover, while Qin Jiang actually recovered completely in just a short while, and the effect was even better than the recovery with the help of the Dragon Emperor Crown.

Opposite, Qin Jiang looked at the Dragon Emperor with some surprise; he also didn't expect the Dragon Emperor to recover so quickly; originally, he intended to use the power of the Longevity Scripture to help him recover.

It was precisely because the Longevity Scripture was already perfected that he let go of his hands and feet to fight the Dragon Emperor.

Now it seems that he underestimated the dragon race; as the overlord of the East Sea, the dragon race's foundation is indeed profound.

"The Dragon Emperor's strength is indeed extraordinary, and the battle is amazing," he smiled. "Ah? Ha, ha, where, where, Daoist friend is the one who opened my eyes." The Dragon Emperor stood straight, his left hand behind his back, clenching tightly; although he had repaired his injuries, it really still hurt! "Then I won't bother you anymore, goodbye!"

After saying that, Qin Jiang soared into the sky and left as a black light.

The Dragon Emperor stood blankly in place, raising his hand, "Hey, you!"

He turned back to look at the pile of things he had prepared, and kicked it resentfully.

Yuan Prefecture City, Qin Mansion.

Xu Yanran sat quietly in the courtyard, holding a cup of fragrant tea, her eyes looking forward, not knowing what she was thinking.

Since her physical body reached the half-god level, the source power in her body had been growing steadily; some time ago, she learned the Eastern Wood Longevity Body and the Vajra Indestructible Body, and now her realm had reached the second-tier Divine Martial Artist.

"Yanran."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, she stood up suddenly and hugged Qin Jiang tightly.

Qin Jiang was a bit stunned, patted her back gently, and smiled: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just missed you," Xu Yanran buried her head in Qin Jiang's arms.

A moment later, the two sat in the pavilion, Qin Jiang boiling tea, not using any demonic fire, just ordinary boiled tea.

The Sand Scorpion King lay on the tea table, holding a cup with its two front pincers, flipping it up and down.

"Where are Ajie and the others?"

Qin Jiang spoke, casually pouring tea on the Sand Scorpion King.

"Ajie went to the Vajra Divine Hall to practice; the Vajra Divine Qi there can improve her cultivation speed. Xiaobai should be planting ginseng outside the city; she thinks the ones bought are not delicious, so she reclaimed a piece of barren mountain outside the city," Xu Yanran smiled.

"Did Uncle Wang and Brother Liu and the others come?" Qin Jiang asked; counting the days, they should have arrived; Black Mountain City is not far from here.

"Settled in Hongming Ward, the environment there is better; I handed over the industry there to Uncle Wang to manage; usually, Uncle Wang will go to find father for tea," Xu Yanran said.

"That's good, tilt the cultivation resources; with the aptitude of Uncle Wang, Brother Liu, and the others, although it is difficult to become a Divine Martial Artist, it is still possible to pile up to a high-level Secret Martial Artist."

Qin Jiang spoke, couldn't help but feel some emotion; once upon a time, even an ordinary Secret Martial Artist was out of reach.

And now, it's nothing.

Governor's Mansion, Lin Mingzhi and Qin Jiang sat on the roof, lying down watching the moon, with several empty wine jars beside them.

"Old Qin! I said I didn't misjudge you back then! Now there's no need to run to the Imperial Capital; with you in our Yuan Prefecture, it's safer than that Imperial Capital!"

Lin Mingzhi was already a bit drunk, his clothes messy, his hair hanging on his chest; if some ladies and misses in the city saw this, they would probably faint from shyness.

His beauty was recognized even by Qin Jiang.

Shaking his head, it wasn't that he didn't use divine power to dispel the wine, but he couldn't dispel it at all.

He really didn't know where Qin Jiang got the strong wine, even he, a wine drunkard, couldn't handle it.

Qin Jiang smiled, casually drinking the strong wine; this was the most fierce wine of the dragon race that Ao Yun spoke of.

Let alone Lin Mingzhi, even some True God Demon Immortals, if they didn't actively dispel the wine, would be drunk.

However, for him at this time, it could only be said that it was okay; his physical body was excessively powerful, and he could even crush some ordinary immortal artifacts with his bare hands.

This was something unthinkable at the True God level.

"Haha, Governor Lin is right; Yuan Prefecture is indeed safer than the Imperial Capital."

A hearty laugh sounded from mid-air, golden light fell, and the Immortal Ancestor's figure appeared.
