Chapter 296
The architectural style of the Dragon Ascension Platform, besides the inherent vastness of the Dragon race, was basically majestic and solemn.
However, on a Dragon Ascension Platform named 'Mu' in the south, the surrounding architectural style became mysterious and bizarre, and even the environment became gloomy and cold; the originally tall and straight trees had lost all their leaves, and the dense and sharp tree branches looked like ghosts baring fangs and brandishing claws.
"Hoo-ming~"
A gloomy wind roared, rotating around a purple figure.
In the tornado, the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable stood as straight as a pine, his deep purple robe seeming to merge with the void. His face was withered, his flesh almost dried up, as if he were on the verge of death.
But his eyes flashed with mysterious purple light, as if they could penetrate the soul.
He held a Purple Flame Demon Bone Staff, the staff body crafted from mysterious purple bones,
wreathed in wisps of purple flames, as if it could burn everything in the world. Every swing could bring up a terrifying purple flame storm.
He was attempting to change the rules of heaven and earth, yet this was not for attack.
Under the Mu-character Dragon Ascension Platform where the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable was located, there was a giant dragon skull, the skull placed on a man-made altar.
It was almost half the height of the Dragon Ascension Platform, and the dragon skull was not small; placed flat on the altar, its height exceeded eight hundred meters.
On both sides of the dragon skull on the bone altar, there were two blue flying dragons exceeding five thousand meters.
They were nailed to the altar by chains, completely unable to struggle.
As the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable waved his staff, a blue light from the two peak lord-level flying dragons sank into the dragon skull.
Below, there was also a red figure, his face handsome and evil, his eyes flickering with scorching red light, as if he could ignite a person's soul.
Red Bone Heavenly Venerable!
The blood bone sword in his hand was as red as blood, emitting a heart-palpitating bloody aura,
and with every wave of the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable, he was also continuously bleeding the two peak lord-level blue flying dragons.
Soon, the two peak lord-level blue flying dragons died completely.
Their flesh, blood, and souls all turned into sacrifices, merging into the giant dragon skull.
"Bone One, Bone Two, send two more over."
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable's voice was hoarse as he spoke to the two elders beside him.
"Yes, Heavenly Venerable."
The two elders, Bone One and Bone Two, were pseudo-first-rank; they no longer had flesh, only skeletons and fire seeds, standing over ten meters tall, their bodies wrapped in black Daoist robes.
The skeletons were not their own either; they were all refined from the bones of other powerhouses or top-tier lifeforms.
Mu means "summoning souls" in Dragon language; it grows in the Netherworld.
At this moment, the actions of the two Heavenly Venerables were precisely an attempt to refine the giant dragon skull below with the help of the Dragon Ascension Platform here.
Because this was the skull of the Great Dragon King 'Wu' that they had dug out from a secret place!
"Sixteen Heavenly Venerable-level figures jointly dug open the Great Dragon Tomb and divided the bones of the Great Dragon King 'Wu'."
"My God Sect, with the support of the Purple Dragon King Court, snatched the dragon skull; if it can be refined into a magic tool, it will at least be treasure-grade!"
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable looked greedily at the dragon skull below.
Especially in a place like the Dragon Court's ancient land, it could exert even greater power!
Because the rules of heaven and earth favored the Dragon race, the strength of the Dragon King level was generally stronger than the human first-rank; if it were in the Royal City, it would be even stronger. Otherwise, the Dragon Kings of the various kingdoms would have long been chopped by humans to seize treasures. Why would they need to pay tribute?
The treasure-grade divine artifacts of the Dragon race exerted power here that was also stronger than the treasure-grade divine artifacts crafted by humans.
As for the Great Dragon King, there was no target for comparison, because human beyond-first-rank figures simply couldn't enter here.
However, according to this rule, a living Great Dragon King would certainly be stronger than a human beyond-first-rank here.
"The Great Dragon King skull refining plan has been planned for a thousand years; if it can succeed in my hands, then the next God Venerable will be born between him and me."
"If he doesn't fight me, so be it; if he fights me—"
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable looked at the red figure below, a hint of deeply hidden killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Yet, just at this moment.
Bone One and Bone Two, who had just flown out to catch live dragons for sacrifice, suddenly returned quickly.
"Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, a powerhouse has broken into the southern part of the Dragon Ascension Platform, about a thousand miles away from us. The ten lord-level dragons and thirty-two city-lord-level dragons stationed there are all dead."
"Elder 'Bone Thirteen' is also dead."
"Hmm?" The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable frowned immediately. "Which force did this?"
"Not yet investigated."
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable turned his staff and began to calculate.
As a Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse, a first-rank Life Palace realm figure, almost everyone knew the method of deduction.
However, just as the staff turned, one of the skulls on it lit up with golden light, and a backlash appeared.
"A Life Palace realm figure has broken into our territory; it's not someone from the alliance."
"Then it must be an expert from the Great Zhou."
He obtained very, very little information, but he could guess it just by guessing.
"Bone One, Bone Two, take the Dragon race lords to investigate the situation."
"Kill if you can; if you can't, drive them toward the east, west, and north."
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable didn't know the strength of the intruder.
He could only investigate the bottom line first.
"Yes." Bone One and Bone Two immediately took the order.
"Great Zhou's first-rank powerhouse." The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable looked into the distance, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable had fought with Great Zhou powerhouses; during the Great War of Pacifying Barbarians, the Great Zhou once hit the Yin-You Mountain and killed many experts of the Purple Dragon King Court.
Although the Liang Prince's rebellion occurred later, making the Great Zhou's invincible glory somewhat dim.
But he still had a deep understanding of the strength of the Great Zhou powerhouses.
"The alliance battleground is in the Fire Prison Plain; the Dragon Ascension Platform is not the main goal, just drive them away and let the other three sects deal with it."
"As long as you don't come to provoke me, just turn a blind eye; everything is focused on refining the bones of the Great Dragon King."
On the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform a thousand miles away, the giant stones that were originally as black as ink had been rendered golden.
The ancient dragon patterns engraved on every stone emitted the power of rules.
The dark clouds had turned into golden auspicious clouds, and in the east of the Dragon Ascension Platform, a giant Dragon Emperor statue rose. The Dragon Emperor statue shone with golden light all over, as if it were crafted from pure gold.
That majestic dragon head was held high, a pair of dragon eyes like bright stars, emitting endless majesty and dominance. The dragon scales were layered, as if containing the mysteries of space and time.
"Clatter~"
At this time, the fire had shrunk by a circle, as if it had "lost too much blood."
"It's really not easy to activate it."
Zhao Xing felt a sense of being hollowed out.
The Dragon Emperor Code, the complete version, was a peerless rare treasure level; it had been dismantled, and the remaining chapters were also the strongest treasure-grade divine artifacts.
The six turns of the Hou Transformation Law were really not enough.
"I'll eat!"
Zhao Xing rolled up the two bottles placed on the ground and sucked the true blood of the kiss inside into a storm.
Originally, this was a resource given to him by Ling Tianchen for cultivation to break through to the seventh turn.
But at this time, Zhao Xing had to use it to recover first.
Otherwise, he would be drained into a "dragon jerky."
"Akulama, territory of Sotu—. "
"Ancient Dragon Code, Divine Protection of the Flower Treasury—. "
After being replenished, Zhao Xing continued to chant the unsealing spell of the high-level Dragon language.
Thanks to Shi Wenxuan's teaching and the information he browsed in the Great Dream Academy, Zhao Xing's unsealing speed was still very fast.
However, the enemy came faster.
Half a quarter of an hour after the ceremony started.
"Swish swish~"
Bone One and Bone Two, riding a bone warship, brought ten Heavenly Fate-level elders and fifty Dragon race lords, appearing on the periphery of the "Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform."
"What, this—.."
Bone One and Bone Two were stunned.
"Is this the Dharma image of Dragon Emperor Jie?"
"This Dragon Ascension Platform is unknown and has never had any anomalies; why did the Dharma image of Dragon Emperor Jie appear at this time?"
"Bone One, did we recognize it wrong? —"
"How is that possible! Look at them," Bone One pointed to the lord-level dragons around the warship.
Originally, they all obeyed the Dragon King War Order standing on the bone warship; relying on the majesty of this hundred-meter-high war order, Bone One and Bone Two could mobilize these lord-level dragons.
However, they were all restless at this moment; without waiting for their order, they roared toward the Dragon Ascension Platform.
"Ang~~"
"Ang roar!!"
Fifty lord-level dragons all prostrated themselves toward the Dragon Emperor's Dharma image.
"It really is Dragon Emperor Jie! Otherwise, such a situation could not have occurred!"
"Could it be that the Great Zhou powerhouses are sacrificing to the Dragon Emperor?"
"Break in!"
Bone One waved the giant dragon bone stick in his hand and knocked it on the 【Dragon King War Order】 standing at the bow of the ship.
The dragon bone stick knocked on a specific position, and the group of dragons suddenly quieted down.
But asking them to attack the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform was simply not going to work.
"We can only go up ourselves!"
After Bone One and Bone Two notified the two Heavenly Venerables, they took the ten second-rank elders under their command and continued forward.
"Hum~"
Flying to twenty miles from the Dragon Ascension Platform, a formation barrier appeared.
"Great Zhou's Boundary Monument Array? A petty trick!"
Bone One sneered; if the ninth-rank Boundary Monument Array were set up in the Great Zhou's territory, they might be wary, but here, it couldn't stop them at all.
"Dragon King Bone Thorn! Go!"
Bone One's black robe tore, revealing his white bone battle body; nine bone thorns grew behind his spine,
the shortest one being three meters and the longest being five meters.
Under his control, three bone thorns detached from his body and instantly pierced the barrier in front.
"Pop pop pop!"
Every Dragon King bone thorn pierced into the barrier, as if planted on it.
Afterward, the dense small holes on the bone thorns began to devour the power of the barrier.
"Open!"
Bone One waved his hands, and the three Dragon King bone thorns propped up a triangular window.
Swish swish, ten Heavenly Fate-level elders immediately drilled in, with Bone One and Bone Two following closely behind.
"The first layer of the barrier is broken."
God Luo Prince stood beside the dragon ship.
"A total of ten second-ranks and two first-ranks."
"Carrying Dragon King bone thorns."
"Why are there so few people?"
Jiang Chuan, Xiao Huang, Ye Yukong, Tong Jin, and Ji Mengjun were all somewhat puzzled.
In the intelligence provided by Bone Thirteen, the Bone Sect had four first-ranks, sixteen second-ranks, and over a hundred Dragon race lords.
Of course, Bone Thirteen knew nothing about the refining of the Great Dragon King's skull.
Not understanding was one thing, but the battle still had to be fought.
"Ming ming~"
Xiao Huang's flute sounded the horn of battle; among the six, except for him, the other five all flew out to meet the enemy.
When the five flew out of the dragon ship, the figures of Tong Jin, Ye Yukong, God Luo Prince, and Jiang Chuan twisted and finally disappeared completely.
Great sound is silent, great form is formless!
Distorting the rules of heaven and earth through the Dao of Great Sound to completely hide the traces of the four companions was a top-tier invisibility method that could hide even the fluctuations of primordial energy, true intent, and even the Dao.
Of course, Ji Mengjun didn't need to.
Some of her battle dances conflicted with this method and required people to see her.
Zhao Xing's clone watched the four figures become invisible.
"Second-rank Heavenly Fate realm, spells can distort the rules of heaven and earth; I can still understand a little bit of the changes."
+
"First-rank Life Palace realm, changing the rules of heaven and earth, I can't understand it at all."
"Before mastering the Dragon Emperor Code, I can't participate."
"But it doesn't matter; once I master the Dragon Emperor Code, the situation will be different."
"Now it's just the unsealing process; opening the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform, those Dragon race lords won't come to attack."
"After I unseal and master the code, I will have higher authority than the Dragon King!" Zhao Xing took a look and lowered his head again.
The Dragon Court's ancient land was the world of the Dragon race; here, the rules of heaven and earth were biased toward the Dragon race.
It was playing with Dragon race authority!
It wasn't about looking at human martial power.
Everyone knew Dragon King Yin Xiu had so many treasures, and Yin Li must also have treasures; yet, although so many first-ranks gathered in the Guting Royal City, why didn't they dare to grab them, but instead obediently followed the rules to pay tribute and exchange?
The reason was simple: they couldn't beat him.
If they could force it, the Dragon Court's ancient land would have long become the human race's backyard; why would they need to learn Dragon language? They would just push through.
After the battle outside the Dragon Ascension Platform started, Zhao Xing also entered the final stage.
From the start of the ceremony to the unsealing, because of the kiss essence blood and what he learned in the Great Dream Academy, Zhao Xing shortened it to one and a half quarters of an hour.
It also took time for the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable to send people to test after knowing, after all, the Dragon Ascension Platform was a relatively large area for humans!
"Click~"
On the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform, the last piece of the carved shell fell off!
Zhao Xing's expression shook; he stopped the spell, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes, and he immediately leaned down and landed in the center.
"Drained more than half a tube of my blood, finally the unsealing is complete!"
At this time, the code finally revealed its true face.
Nine five-clawed true dragons circled the ten-meter-long, three-meter-wide golden ancient book.
"Just holding it, I will at most not be infringed upon; to truly utilize it and gain the blessing of the code's power, I must at least be able to open it and initially master it!"
"Roar!"
Zhao Xing opened his big mouth and swallowed the code in one gulp.
Pop!
After swallowing the code, the fire suddenly fell heavily and smashed onto the ground.
The weight of the divine artifact was like swallowing heaven and earth!
"Ang~"
A majestic and primitive dragon roar came from within his body.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~"
Bursts of golden light suddenly erupted from the fire's body, and the fire-red scales and aura on its body were rendered golden.
The golden light particles emitted by the code in his stomach washed over Zhao Xing's body back and forth, like a big explosion.
"This is a test of bloodline!"
"The Dragon Emperor Code can be called the strongest divine artifact of the post-Dragon Court era; even a part of it cannot fall into the hands of an outsider!"
"If it were about anything else, I might not be able to handle it, but this is the Hou Transformation Law! In terms of lineage, I am a true Dragon race!"
What Dharma image, dragon blood golden body—just in terms of bloodline purity, it simply couldn't compare to the Hou Transformation Law.
One must know that after the Hou Transformation Law couldn't change back, it was completely belonging to that race!
Even if killed in the Hou Transformation state, it was in the form of the corresponding race.
The inheritance of the Myriad Transformation Cave Heaven generation after generation also preserved the bloodline closest to purebred dragons.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom~"
The golden light washed over and over, every bit of power penetrating into the deepest level of flesh and blood!
It was both a test and an evolution!
Zhao Xing could feel that the fire's life structure was now developing toward a more perfect Dragon race form!
The bottleneck from the sixth turn to the seventh turn of the original Hou Transformation Law was dissolving at an astonishing speed at this moment!
At the same time, the fire's dragon scales began to transform, and the flesh and blood cracked and quickly repaired.
"Ang~"
At a certain moment, Zhao Xing let out a roar.
The pressure of the code plummeted, and he flew up!
Transformation, an astonishing transformation occurred!
His Hou Transformation Law broke through to the seventh turn, the eighth turn at this moment!
"Ang," at this time Zhao Xing's law was no longer fire transformation, but kiss transformation!
But his appearance had a great discrepancy with Ling Tianchen's appearance!
"Legend has it that the kiss is a dragon head and fish body, without claws, but I have grown claws."
"The power of the code allowed me to open a new Hou Transformation Law, but this law is not yet perfected." Zhao Xing looked at his appearance and waited quietly for the second test.
"Yu~"
In his sea of consciousness, the rules of heaven and earth descended, carrying the Great Dao of the Dragon Court, impacting his soul. "Merge!"
Zhao Xing immediately let the seven main souls merge into one, becoming a seven-star soul; at the same time, the seven-star soul changed shape and turned into a dragon shape.
The soul foundation of the Derivation God Decision, as for the seven life stars, the appearance was not important; soul-type secret techniques had similar changes, such as soul blades, soul swords, soul spears, etc.
"Click click click~"
The soul was tottering, as if Zhao Xing had returned to the situation when he first practiced the Derivation God Decision.
Only then was it oppressed by secret pattern stars; now it was accepting the oppression of the Dragon Court's Heavenly Dao.
Although Zhao Xing was only at the great completion of the first layer of the Derivation God Decision, his divine sense reached 49, 99, which many second layers of the Derivation God Decision were no better than, and he had seven life stars, completely able to withstand this test of will.
Facing the rules of heaven and earth, the test of the Dragon Court's Heavenly Dao, his soul constantly appeared with scars, but constantly repaired.
At the same time, his body also changed, perfecting the new Hou Transformation Law.
"Click click click~"
Zhao Xing showed a painful expression; under this extreme oppression, he subconsciously recalled the scene of the Ancestral Dragon opening heaven in the "Ancestral Dragon Roar."
At the same time, his body couldn't help but let out a roar: "!"
This time, Zhao Xing finally heard his own voice.
"Huang!"
Like a bell or drum being struck, the thick sound of the Great Dao sounded from heaven and earth, cutting through the rules between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Zhao Xing completed the true transformation.
The Hou Transformation Law reached the top-tier ninth turn!
Hum~
The Dragon Court Code in his body no longer produced any anomalies.
Zhao Xing lowered his head and looked at his body.
"This has nothing to do with kiss transformation; the dragon head, five claws, golden scales, and the majestic bloodline are completely on another level, and the fire essence blood in the acupoints has completely disappeared."
"Tending toward the form of the Ancestral Dragon!" Zhao Xing evaluated it as such.
That was the first true dragon in the world, and his appearance now could almost be said to be exactly the same as the Ancestral Dragon, just not as big.
A trace of the Ancestral Dragon's charm emanated from his soul.
This was because he captured a trace of the "Ancestral Dragon Opening Heaven" charm when he practiced the Dragon language spell.
It was also the reason he passed the second test of the code, the soul test.
"Let's call the new Hou Transformation Law 'Ancestral Dragon Transformation'."
"All Dragon race Hou Transformation Laws ultimately pursue becoming the first true dragon."
"The ultimate of this law is also like this."
Not bad, it created a law that had hope of pointing directly to the ultimate!
Of course, it was only hope now; after all, it only captured a trace of the Ancestral Dragon's charm.
"It's only at the top-tier level now; if it reaches the ultimate level, then it will be the strongest Hou Transformation Law!"
Dan ll~
Zhao Xing's body quickly shrank, finally turning into a human form, and a golden-looking book appeared in his hand,
a thick code that seemed to flicker with metallic luster.
"Hum~"
When his hand touched it, several clear images appeared in Zhao Xing's mind; one of the images was the deep black seabed, and the second image was floating in the dark abyss.
"The location of the other scattered parts."
"So the code in Yin Xiu's hands at this time was already in a three-in-one state?"
Zhao Xing originally thought the Dragon Court Code was divided into nine, and this was just one-ninth of it.
But now that he had mastered it, he realized it was one-third.
Because he had just obtained two other locations.
That proved that at this time, the Dragon Court Code was only divided into three parts.
"So that's it; no wonder the test was strengthened and I was made to create the Ancestral Dragon Transformation." Zhao Xing closed his eyes and connected it with his past life memories.
"The reason I knew the code was in Yin Xiu's hands was because it was used in my past life."
"After Yin Xiu woke up, he waged war and relied on it to become a Great Dragon King; he wanted to enter the Abyss Sea to retrieve the other scattered parts and had an earth-shattering battle with that reverse dragon."
13
"It seems that at that time, the Dragon Court Code was shattered, and he ultimately did not succeed in unifying the Dragon Court." Zhao Xing now understood many things when combined with the background story at that time.
"The seabed of the Abyss Sea is consistent with what I know; the death scene I saw on the Island of Chosen Ones back then was precisely the Abyss Sea."
"The second location is the Heavenly Abyss Demon race."
"Dragon Emperor Jie divided the code into three; one suppressed the Abyss Sea, the second suppressed the Heavenly Abyss, and the third was used for governing the world."
"After he died, the governing law chapter was passed down several times and obtained by Yin Xiu."
In a flash of lightning, Zhao Xing understood everything.
"Hmph, now that it's in my hands in this life, it's impossible for it to be shattered again! Yin Xiu—where do you have my understanding of the Dragon race?"
Pi, just at this moment, Zhao Xing heard the faint sound of breaking air in the distance.
A Dragon King bone thorn broke through the void and headed straight for the Dragon Ascension Platform.
As it entered the edge of the Dragon Ascension Platform, a figure appeared and punched the Dragon King bone thorn.
"Heavenly Dragon Fist!"
Tong Jin's muscles bulged, the meridians on his muscles like dragons; he threw a punch, and seven Heavenly Dragon Dharma images followed.
"Pop!"
The Dragon King bone thorn didn't know where it was smashed to.
Without looking back, Tong Jin's figure disappeared.
At this time, Zhao Xing could already capture the movement of the battlefield.
He hadn't finished the test long ago, and the battle of offense and defense had just begun.
"First-rank against first-rank, second-rank against second-rank; the battlefield was divided."
"Xiao Huang's initial cover effect was very good; three of the Bone Sect's ten second-ranks were killed in one encounter."
"Now the number of first-ranks is evenly matched, but the Bone Sect has three more second-ranks."
The number of first-ranks was evenly matched, but the strength was not evenly matched.
Ji Mengjun against Bone One.
When Zhao Xing observed the battlefield, Bone One's soul had already been beaten away, and the white bone battle body self-destructed; the thorn just now was fired by Bone One's battle body.
He wanted to try to interrupt the ceremony of the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform.
Tong Jin against Bone Two, originally occupying the upper hand, but Ji Mengjun solved Bone One too quickly; after the self-destruction occurred, he had to force Bone Two back to protect Zhao Xing from being disturbed by the bone thorns.
Killing the enemy was not the main goal; protection was the first.
Second-rank battlefield, Ye Yukong fought three, Jiang Chuan fought two, God Luo Prince fought two, and Xiao Huang assisted the second-rank battlefield.
Originally they all occupied the upper hand, but changes occurred after Bone One self-destructed.
Bone thorns shot toward the second-rank battlefield, trying to rescue the Bone Sect's second-rank elders to retreat.
"Ancestral Dragon Transformation!"
Zhao Xing's combat consciousness made him react instantly; he rushed toward the south of the Dragon Ascension Platform.
Arriving beside Jiang Chuan, the dragon body quickly curled up,
"Clang clang clang!"
Three bone thorns shot at the scales; the Dragon King bone thorns, comparable to ninth-rank divine weapons, were blocked by the golden light protection of the code after hitting the dragon scales.
When the powerful impact was transmitted to the dragon scales, not even a mark was left.
The reason he saved Jiang Chuan first was because this guy was a fragile warlock; facing a first-rank self-destruction,
even if there was distance and it wasn't a precise piercing attack, there was a risk of being heavily injured.
As for God Luo Prince, he had the God Luo mechanical armor protection; piercing through layers of defense wouldn't hurt his true self. Tong Jin protected Ye Yukong, and Ji Mengjun and Xiao Huang were not targets.
"Marquis Shenwei?" Jiang Chuan was somewhat confused, looking at the huge dragon body.
Zhao Xing didn't care about him; the dragon swam through heaven and earth and quickly flew to the edge of the barrier.
He spat out the golden code, and the code opened a page.
Afterward, the Dragon language resonated through heaven and earth.
"Divine Court Decree, true words as orders; I, with the dignity of the Great Dragon King, deprive you of your Dragon race status!"
Huge golden characters flew out of the code.
The golden characters quickly twisted and combined to form a giant dragon, heading straight for the fleeing Bone Two and seven Bone Sect elders.
After mastering the Dragon Emperor Code, Zhao Xing could perform Dragon language spells exceeding the high-level ninth rank.
【Dragon Emperor Golden Characters】.
It was the language created by Dragon Emperor Jie, and its essence was the same as the nine great spells.
Performing the nine great spells also required mastering the 【Dragon Emperor Golden Characters】.
If one held the Dragon Emperor Code and mastered the Dragon Emperor Golden Characters, one could perform—【True Word Decree】.
The first page of the decree chapter was 【Decree of Stripping Veins】.
It could deprive the Dragon race of their titles, status, and reduce their bloodline power.
Zhao Xing wanted to try the power of the code, so he took Bone Two and the others to test the water.
The effect was surprisingly good; after the golden characters turned into a dragon, they crossed space and caught up with Bone One and the seven elders.
"Yu~"
The dragon shadow seemed to pass through the eight people, then ignored space and returned to the code.
"What?!" Bone One was stunned. "The Dragon Marquis protection on me has disappeared,
This—"
Just as the official luck of the Great Zhou could protect officials, the titles of the Dragon race also had similar effects, but the amplification was not that great; it was mainly to allow the Dragon race to sense each other,
and it was a symbol of status and position.
The Dragon race's official titles were one; Bone One's Dragon Marquis title was obtained in the Great Arena of the 'Gulei Kingdom' and was 【Dragon Training Lord】; this was a title higher than the lord level but lower than the Dragon King, responsible for training Dragon race generals.
It was said that he was a heavenly-bestowed position obtained by strength in the Great Arena, not obtained by tribute,
and even the Dragon King, without special equipment, couldn't strip his title.
But now, it was actually recovered!
If he was like this, the other second-rank elders were even more shocked; they had never seen such authority!
Divine Court Decree? True words as orders, one sentence deprived them of their status; there was actually such authority?!
The eight people appeared in a brief trance, not noticing at all that the fifty lord-level dragons around the warship were looking at them with wrong eyes.
Losing their Dragon race status, they were aliens!
Entering the Divine Court required Dragon race bloodline and status, otherwise they were heretics, and now Zhao Xing used a divine artifact to recover the power of Bone One and the others.
In the eyes of these lord-level dragons, these were no longer "their own dragons."
"Subjects of the Dragon Court, take the order; order you to kill the aliens immediately!"
Eight more golden characters flew out of the code, turning into five-clawed true dragon phantoms.
Only this time, they didn't return, but turned blood-red, circling over the heads of the eight people.
Divine artifact second chapter, 【Decree of Killing】!
"Roar!"
The fifty Dragon race lords, who had long been prepared, quickly rushed toward Bone One and the seven elders.
At this time, the eight people really couldn't hold back their emotions.
They fled back, wanting to use these Dragon race lords to cover their escape.
As a result, before they even got on the ship, their authority failed, and they were chased and chopped by the Dragon race lords instead!
"Ah, don't!"
"I am the Great Lord of the Thunder Dragon, you cannot attack me!"
"I order you—pop!"
Crazy!
The fifty Dragon race lords were completely crazy.
A group of giant dragons soared into the sky, their huge bodies covering the sky and sun.
Among them, some were Jimeng lords, waving sharp weapons, dragon-pattern long swords with cold light flickering, the blades flowing with mysterious runes, every swing as if to cut the void. Some held giant axes, the axe blades thick and ferocious, one axe falling, mountains collapsing and ground cracking, smashing huge deep pits in the ground.
Some used their own dragon claws, dragon tails, and dragon flames to fight the enemy.
The roar of battle was deafening, the roars of the giant dragons like thunder.
Flames, frost, and lightning intertwined in the battlefield, every attack containing world-destroying power.
A red dragon lord spat out raging flames, instantly burning the surrounding air until it twisted, and wherever it went, it became scorched earth.
Two Bone Sect elders didn't react at all and were burned by the high-level flames until even their bones were gone.
In the case of both being second-rank, the Dragon race lords could basically crush humans, because this was the world of the Dragon race, not to mention there were so many of them now.
"!"
The blue dragon lord spat out extreme cold energy, making a harsh cracking sound, water vapor permeating and intertwining,
these lord-level dragons also understood battle formation cooperation.
The scene of ice and fire made Bone Two terrified; why didn't he see that these lord-level ones were so capable of fighting before?
Why are they so desperate when fighting me?
They couldn't not be desperate, because Zhao Xing gave a death order.
That is to say, if the Dragon race that heard the true word decree didn't kill the eight marked people.
They would be executed!
So these Dragon race lords were all like crazy, coming up with big moves, various talent secret techniques, and even cost-type secret techniques that exploded their potential were all used!
Bone Two, this Dragon Training Lord, how could he see this usually? Who trains you to risk your life?
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The seven second-rank elders were instantly beaten to flesh.
Under such high-intensity attacks, their souls didn't last long either and were ground away by the twisted rules of heaven and earth.
It was Bone Two, although he was a pseudo-first-rank, he was still considered a first-rank; he persisted for ten more breaths, even killing a Thunder Dragon lord, before his skeleton was dismantled.
"Dragon King Bone Thorn!"
"Divine Bone Sacrificing Soul!"
The moment he was beaten, Bone Two also launched a self-destruction.
At the same time, wisps of golden bone marrow appeared on his bone body, sinking into his primordial soul, turning into a golden rainbow light, wanting to learn from Bone One and escape.
"Li!!"
Seven Li Soul Dragons, gray dragon shadows appearing in their eyes, quickly chased after him; the heaven and earth in front were twisted, and Bone Two was blocked again.
"The Li Soul Dragon actually launched 'Heavenly Soul Blood Sacrifice'—————-damn Great Zhou official!"
Bone Two hated Zhao Xing, this authority dog, to the bone.
"Heavenly Venerable save—" "Pop!"
This was his last sentence before he died.
This pseudo-first-rank was beaten to death by the suddenly "rebellious" Dragon race lords; Bone One at least escaped a soul, but he didn't even escape a soul.
Everything settled, and only 48 of the fifty Dragon race lords remained.
"Ang~"
The 48 Dragon race lords lined up obediently and prostrated themselves under Zhao Xing.
When Ji Mengjun, Tong Jin, Jiang Chuan, Xiao Huang, Ye Yukong, and God Luo Prince behind him saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Old Luo, my Dragon language is not very good, translate for me, what did Zhao Xing just say,
and what are they saying now?" Ye Yukong looked at God Luo Prince beside him.
God Luo Prince's eyes were also somewhat dull: "Just now Zhao Xing called himself the Great Dragon King, and said something about 'Divine Court'; 'True Decree', and then these Dragon race lords listened to him and killed the Bone Sect people."
"Can authority be used across countries?" Jiang Chuan couldn't understand, but was greatly shocked, "These are all Dragon race lords of the Gulei Kingdom, right?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Xiao Huang squeezed his flute and looked at the palace second-seat Ji Mengjun.
Tong Jin was the same; if anyone could understand this scene, it was probably only Ji Mengjun, because her Dragon language level and understanding of Dragon civilization were the deepest among the few.
"Don't look at me." Ji Mengjun's beautiful eyes flowed with heavy brilliance, "I don't understand either, but those Dragon race lords are indeed paying homage to the 'Great Dragon King'; God Luo Prince, the word you heard is accurate."
Of course they hadn't heard of it; the Dragon Emperor Code and Dragon Golden Characters were originally supposed to wait until the Wu Emperor era, when Dragon King Yin Xiu was in power, to be born; at that time, Yin Xiu conquered nine kingdoms and wanted to unify them, so they would be widely known.
Now they couldn't understand the content of the two decrees, nor did they understand the power of the rules contained within, because they were not true Dragon race.
For humans to understand and comprehend, it would probably take the level of Bai Yunwu, the Dragon King.
And counting Bai Yunwu, the Great Zhou only had four Dragon Kings!
"Hoo~"
Zhao Xing swallowed the code again and turned into a human form.
The 48 Dragon race lords were still waiting obediently in place.
"Brother Zhao, this is—. "
"Everyone, let's talk on the way." Zhao Xing said, "Let's leave here first."
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable and the Red Bone Heavenly Venerable were solid first-ranks; figures crowned as Heavenly Venerables were not simple goods; Bone One and Bone Two simply couldn't be compared with them.
Zhao Xing had only just mastered the code and didn't have the certainty of killing the two Heavenly Venerables instantly,
so there was no need to waste time.
"Collect!" Zhao Xing collected the enemy's dragon ship and the Dragon King War Order.
Swish? Swish, then everyone immediately got on the ship and led the 48 Dragon race lords to leave the Dragon Ascension Platform.
Dragon Ascension Platform, Bone Sect location.
After Zhao Xing and the others left, Bone One's soul also escaped back.
"Hmm?" The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable frowned, "Bone One, what's going on?"
"Heavenly Venerable, something big happened!"
Bone One quickly informed them of everything that had just happened.
The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable and the Red Bone Heavenly Venerable both flew up.
Hearing that Bone One was forced to self-destruct, they didn't feel anything.
Ji Mengjun was a sixth-rank Great Dancer of the Imperial Palace and would undoubtedly become the leader of the dancers in the future.
Bone One was a weak first-rank; it was normal to be beaten up.
But when Bone One talked about Zhao Xing coming down from the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform and turning into a five-clawed true dragon, and confusingly inciting their Gulei Kingdom's Dragon race lords, the two Heavenly Venerables' expressions changed drastically.
"This, how is this possible; could it be that it really was a Dragon Ascension Platform related to Dragon Emperor Jie, and the Great Zhou obtained some treasure?"
Facing things they had never seen before, the two Heavenly Venerables were unwilling to believe it easily.
If there really was such a thing, it would cause a great upheaval in the current pattern! Besieging the Great Zhou would become a joke!
"Go to the Dragon Ascension Platform quickly!" The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable and the Red Bone Heavenly Venerable didn't refine the dragon skull anymore.
The two performed spells and quickly arrived at the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ascension Platform.
But at this time, the Dragon Ascension Platform had turned back into its original appearance and was simply unremarkable.
After they went up, they used various known methods, but didn't find any clues at all.
The only thing that could be determined was that those Dragon race lords had indeed followed the Great Zhou powerhouses and ran away.
"This alliance operation is going to be ruined!" The Purple and Red Heavenly Venerables looked at each other and realized something.
"Heavenly Venerable, should we inform the King Court and the other sects?" Bone One asked.
"Say half." The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable pondered.
"Not bad." The Red Bone Heavenly Venerable agreed.
What is called saying half?
It was to notify the King Court and the Allied Army and issue a warning: the Great Zhou powerhouses might have obtained some kind of top-tier authority related to the Dragon Emperor.
But conceal the fact that the Dragon race lords were taken away and say nothing about the battle process.
In this way, the warning was issued; if the siege operation in the Fire Prison Plain failed? It couldn't be blamed on the Bone Sect afterward.
They were not the state religion in the Purple Dragon King Court, just a top-tier sect; the state religion was occupied by the God Sect. Just say the other top-tier sects, there were also the Four Saints, Qingyang, Guiyuan, Corpse Puppet, and other sects.
If the siege failed, they had to consider the subsequent influence. The Great Zhou was far in the Central Plains and might not be able to compete with their Bone Sect for profit, but these "allies" were neighbors; if the allies were weaker, they would be stronger.
To allies? Just tell the story in a flat tone; internally? For example, notifying the 'Seven Absolute True Monarch' in the Guting Royal City, they had to issue a stern warning! This was the plan of the two Heavenly Venerables.
Guting Kingdom, North Sea land, Dragon King Yin Xiu's sleeping palace.
"Respected Dragon King Yin Xiu, this is my tribute..."
The Great Snake Kingdom's Crown Prince 'Fengxiu Great Monarch' was turning into a snake and prostrating on the Dragon Crystal Avenue; he was conducting the tribute ceremony, and after spending a long time, he finally waited for the fourth exchange.
Originally everything was going very smoothly.
But suddenly "Ang~"
Dragon King Yin Xiu's dragon spirit suddenly left the Dragon Crystal Throne, soared into the sky, and disappeared.
Fengxiu Great Monarch was somewhat dazed.
The things were all collected, why did Yin Xiu suddenly leave?
He waited in place for a while and found the Dragon Crystal Avenue and the throne collapsing.
Apparently, he didn't intend to come back.
"Bastard, can't afford to play—·"
Fengxiu Great Monarch cursed and left the North Sea Dragon Palace.
Guting Royal City, inside Yin Li's palace.
Dragon King Yin Xiu's dragon spirit suddenly appeared.
"Li, did you feel it."
"Yes, Xiu."
A dragon spirit flew out from the throne, and the two dragon spirits swam in mid-air.
"I felt the call from the Dragon Court, as if a new Dragon King was born."
"Li, you are wrong." Yin Xiu said: "It's not that a new Dragon King was born; the power exceeded the King level, and even exceeded the Great Dragon King."
Yin Li was obviously very surprised: "Xiu, you mean—."
Yin Xiu nodded: "Yes, as the inheritor of the Eastern Emperor Golden Characters, I felt the power of the Dragon Emperor Golden Characters; the Abyss Sea and the Heavenly Abyss seem to have anomalies too."
"The Dragon Emperor Code has appeared, and someone has mastered the code."
"I felt the connection between him and me."
Yin Li was silent; this news was so shocking that he couldn't speak.
However, his brother Yin Xiu was different from other Dragon Kings.
He could only feel that a new Dragon King seemed to be born, but as the inheritor of the Eastern Emperor Golden Characters, Yin Xiu's talent and power were stronger, and he knew more.
"Waiting for many years, just for this moment."
"Li, I will wake up early and head to the Dragon Court to follow the footsteps and reshape the Dragon Court."
"From today on, you must prepare for war. Especially, be prepared to wake up the other ancient Dragon Kings."
Listening to his brother's words, Yin Li's dragon spirit was agitated: "Xiu, I will go prepare immediately."
Central Dragon Court, above the wilderness.
"What? Can actually summon a Dragon King?" Ye Yukong was shocked and yelled: "What kind of divine artifact is this, to actually have such an effect!"
"Dragon Emperor Code." Zhao Xing smiled, "You can understand it as a combination of the Dragon race's Imperial Jade Seal, Human Emperor Sword, and Mountain and River Map."
"Hiss—"
When Zhao Xing said this, everyone understood, but then they gasped.
"Then wouldn't you be able to rule the entire Dragon Court's ancient land?"
"Not that exaggerated." Zhao Xing shook his head, "The foundation of the Dragon Court's ancient land is deep; this divine artifact is only a part, and I only obtained the 'Imperial Jade Seal' part."
Although he said so, it was enough for the current stage.
Why say it was the current stage? Because the small-scale tide during the Wu Emperor era would also affect the Dragon Court's ancient land; at that time, the ancient Dragon Kings (Great Dragon Kings) of the Dragon Court's ancient land would have the conditions to wake up. At that time, relying on scattered parts alone would not be enough.
Of course, it was absolutely enough now.
A Dragon King with a divine artifact was an existence beyond the first rank; Zhao Xing didn't need to wake up too many, just casually get two with divine artifacts to help out, and it would be enough to sweep other human forces.
The current human race, whether it was the Great Zhou or foreign enemies, had the highest authority at the Dragon King level; slightly special ones might have a chance to invite other Dragon Kings. But this special case was only an "invite," not a mobilization.
Zhao Xing walked out of the Dragon Ascension Platform now, intending to go to the teleportation array of the True Dragon Royal City to shake people—no, shake dragons!
"Marquis Shenwei, which Dragon King do you intend to summon?" Ji Mengjun asked.
The others also looked over curiously.
For this kind of authority they had never seen before, they were also very curious.
Zhao Xing was about to say his plan, but his brow moved.
"It seems I don't need to spend time looking for it anymore."
"Dragon King Yin Xiu has already arrived at the True Dragon Royal City."
