Chapter 715

Ye Qin heard the words and coldly laughed: "Really want to seal me as Emperor? I'm afraid the Dragon Emperor hasn't even had time to tell you—back then, the Southwest Earth Court conferred upon me the title of One-Word Side-by-Side King, and now that Earth Emperor White Jade Dragon Elephant has long become my mount. Patriarch Ancestral Dragon, your enthusiasm—could it be you also wish to follow in its footsteps? Back then, I imparted my all in teaching you the path to Half-Sage; you need not repay me this way. But your current appearance as a mount is truly demeaning."

Before the words faded, the Dragon Emperor suddenly attacked, his massive body transforming into a twelve myriad zhang golden dragon.

Within the Dragon's Realm, surging faith power gathered like tides, fully under his control.

With a heaven-shaking angry roar, the Dragon Emperor's four claws twisted into illusions, wrapped in golden energy that tore through space, striking straight at Ye Qin's vital heart.

This dragon claw, imbued with imperial martial prowess, seemed to have succeeded—but Ye Qin's chest skin rippled with power waves, actually imprisoning the dragon claw in a spacetime fissure.

Though close at hand, it felt as if separated by countless spacetimes.

Patriarch Ancestral Dragon exclaimed in shock: "Flesh body shaking spacetime? Could this be the body of a Chaos Demon God? Impossible! The Honghuang Heavenly Dao does not tolerate chaotic power; cultivators of this path must suffer karmic backlash, facing endless tribulations."

The Chaos Demon God's flesh body contains boundless chaotic power, capable of breaking the Dao, yet it contradicts the laws of Honghuang Heaven and Earth.

That ancient Chaos Yuanqi Tribulation was the Heavenly Dao's comprehensive purge of chaotic power.

Now, surviving Chaos Demon Gods, even if they know Honghuang still holds chaotic spring eyes, dare not touch chaotic qi—because once one cultivates the Chaos Demon God body, they can only flee into the perilous Chaos Void; with their current cultivation level, it is undoubtedly suicide.

Facing the assault, Ye Qin offered no explanation; his palm instantly transformed into a blood-red giant claw to meet the attack.

With a crisp crack, the twelve myriad zhang golden dragon exploded from within, revealing the golden dragon tendon running through its body.

Ye Qin's figure darted forward, his fair hand directly grasping the dragon tendon, beginning to forcibly extract it.

Patriarch Ancestral Dragon stood nearby with a solemn expression, yet did not immediately intervene. He knew well: as long as the Dragon Court's faith foundation remained intact, the Dragon Emperor would not truly fall—now was the perfect moment to probe Ye Qin's trump cards.

In agony, the Dragon Emperor rolled madly, the Dragon Realm collapsing heaven and earth. Yet Ye Qin clung like a bone-burrowing sore, inch by inch extracting the tough dragon tendon. This tendon, condensed with imperial tyrannical power and faith essence, emitted a reverent sacred aura.

"This dragon tendon would make an excellent Dragon-Slaying Whip! In the future, the Scale-Armor Clan, upon seeing this treasure, will all obediently obey—perfect to give to Ling'er as a weapon." Ye Qin said, his Breaking-Law Divine Eye ever vigilant toward Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's movements.

Just as the dragon tendon was about to be stored into the Qiankun Cauldron, a sudden change occurred!

The dragon tendon suddenly surged, absorbing vast faith power to become a Xuan Qin Dragon, chanting in its mouth the mysterious maxim: "Dragon Court's human destiny, human path Xuan Qin," then condensed into a middle-aged figure wearing a Xuan Qin robe, standing beside Patriarch Ancestral Dragon.

Seeing this, Ye Qin's aura surged, his form transforming into a hundred-zhang giant, his hair bursting with immense power.

In his hand condensed a heaven-opening giant axe, its blade so sharp that space could not heal.

This was the ultimate form of the Myriad Beasts True Martial—discarding willpower, purely using fleshly strength to display heaven-defying martial arts.

With a tremendous boom, the Dragon Realm was split open by a huge rift; the heavenly pressure of Honghuang's eastern region surged in like a tide, beginning to suppress Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's will. Yet Patriarch Ancestral Dragon remained calm and composed: "So it's not the Chaos Demon God's body, merely a flesh body refined from essence and blood. Today I shall let you perish in both form and spirit!"

As the words fell, an ancient, simple futon appeared in midair, purple qi flowing like a long river into Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's body.

Eighty-one Nine Yang Heavenly Dragons reappeared, bathed in the purple qi turning purple, their emitted Dao pressure surpassing before.

In an instant, Nine Yang Purple Fire filled the entire Dragon Realm, surrounding Ye Qin's group.

Facing the burning flames, Ye Qin roared, his form transforming into a ten myriad zhang Heaven-Swallowing Rat.

Divine light flashed in his eyes like lightning; a heaven-shaking great battle had just begun.

A deafening roar echoed through heaven and earth; the ten myriad zhang Heaven-Swallowing Divine Rat stood proudly amidst them.

In its emerald-green eyes like a deep pool, soul-captivating divine light flowed; its agile body held hidden mysteries in every part, as if every inch of skin and each hair were engraved with the secrets of heaven and earth's great Dao.

The Divine Rat's claws danced; in an instant, space became like a shattered mirror, countless fissures spreading, attempting to devour the blazing purple divine fire. Patriarch Ancestral Dragon observed, coldly snorted: "Don't dream! This Nine Yang Purple Fire cannot be easily avoided! Honghuang Purple Qi, the foundation of sagehood—it will follow your scent and pursue relentlessly; even if you flee into spacetime crevices, you cannot escape this calamity!"

Having spoken, he waved his great hand; purple flames rolled like a tide across the sky.

"Patriarch Ancestral Dragon! You've always been curious about my true form—open your eyes wide and see: I am the Heaven-Swallowing Rat, devouring heaven and earth!"

The words not yet fallen, Ye Qin's Heaven-Swallowing Rat form stepped forth from the depths of the void, no longer hiding its figure, directly facing the scorching purple fire. Its bodily blood power surged, actually beginning to greedily absorb the purple Dao qi contained in the flames.

Immediately after, the Heaven-Swallowing Rat opened its giant maw, instantly forming a chaos vortex; hearing a "hum," the sky-full purple fire, as if pulled by an invisible hand, surged into the vortex.

"What a Heaven-Swallowing Rat!" Even the well-informed Patriarch Ancestral Dragon could not help but praise, marveling at the Divine Rat's mighty stature and submitting to this heaven-shocking, earth-shaking Divine Ability. Ye Qin's Great Devouring Technique is indeed the innate ability of the Heaven-Swallowing Rat, requiring no soul power—merely the flesh body can display such a profound Divine Ability.

Although he has merged the black hole condensed from the Devouring Dao into the nurturing Chaos Pearl, the power of this innate Divine Ability remains undiminished.

In a flash, the sky-full purple fire vanished completely. Yet the battle was far from over.

Ye Qin's claws danced; blood-red vortices appeared in his palms, countless blood threads shooting out like spiderwebs, winding toward Patriarch Ancestral Dragon.

This was his other innate Divine Ability—the Great Blood Essence Technique.

Once, this technique was merely Ye Qin's means to extract essence and blood; now, as the Chaos Giant Egg formed from the Soul Realm in the Chaos Pearl continually comprehends the Dao, all his Divine Abilities are rapidly evolving, with innate Divine Abilities foremost.

"Blood God Divine Ability? Interesting!" Patriarch Ancestral Dragon let out a long cry, his form transforming into a Chaos Heavenly Dragon, aura mighty.

Only to see his scales glow with a dark light, instantly transforming into myriad blades, shattering all those blood threads.

Afterwards, Patriarch Ancestral Dragon displayed Nine Yang Qi, Heavenly Dragon Nine Paths, and many other Divine Abilities—but no matter what means he used, they were easily absorbed by Ye Qin's chaos vortex.

Seeing ordinary means ineffective, Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's twelve myriad zhang-long dragon body rose into the air, like a giant python tightly coiling around the Heaven-Swallowing Rat.

Starting from the feet, layer upon layer wrapped upward; in the blink of an eye, Ye Qin was wrapped into a ball.

Know this: Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's Chaos Heavenly Dragon Dao has long excelled in fleshly cultivation; back in the Chaos Era, his fleshly strength could rank among the top twenty.

Even though his cultivation focus has shifted somewhat, the tempering of Heavenly Dragon Ancestral Qi still grants him boundless strength; among the many Patriarchs, in terms of fleshly strength, none can surpass him.

Under Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's mighty constriction, Ye Qin could not move.

At the same time, the Dragon Emperor also manifested a twelve myriad zhang Xuan Qin Dragon, opening its blood basin maw to fiercely bite the Heaven-Swallowing Rat's skull.

"Nonsense!" Ye Qin roared, his muscles violently trembling, erupting with astonishing power, forcibly shaking open a gap in Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's coiling.

Immediately, his claws became like steel-iron giant pincers—one claw gripping the Dragon Emperor's upper jaw, one claw pressing the lower jaw—relying on fleshly brute force, he tore with all his might!

Only to hear a miserable cry; the Dragon Emperor's massive body, starting from the mouth, was torn into two halves, Xuan Qin-colored flesh and blood scattering across the ground, temporarily unable to reassemble.

"Chaos Heavenly Dragon, Chaos Constriction!" Seeing this, Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's dragon body suddenly contracted, like an incredibly thick Immortal-Binding Rope, leaving bloodstains on Ye Qin's body.

The Heaven-Swallowing Rat's essence and blood continuously seeped out; that unique fragrance diffused in the air, faintly outlining the mysterious trajectory of the blood essence path.

Although Patriarch Ancestral Dragon's scales are hard as innate treasures, continually cutting Ye Qin's flesh, yet the ten myriad zhang Heaven-Swallowing Rat's blood essence power is endless.

Every drop of essence and blood seeping from each wound is completely absorbed by it.

This wondrous change stems from Ye Qin's profound comprehension of the White Jade Dragon Elephant's body.

Now, the Carefree Realm has transformed into the Chaos Pearl; qi and soul have fully returned to chaos, while those fleshly cultivation methods have all merged into the Heaven-Swallowing Rat's true body.

This is a complete return to the root and a return to the origin.

Once, Ye Qin could freely transform into heavenly dragons, qilins, heavenly phoenixes, etc., displaying the powers of various races.

Now, all power attributes have been fully integrated into the body of the Heaven-Swallowing Rat, just as all things return to their origin, and myriad forces ultimately converge into one, embodying the profound truth of the Great Dao's simplicity.

On Ye Qin, contradiction and unity are perfectly fused, just as humanity itself is a composite of contradictions, revealing unique personal charm in opposition and harmony.

"Myriad Beasts True Martial — Divine Rat Seizes the Dragon!"

With a roar of fury, the Heaven-Swallowing Rat's body began a strange transformation, possessing both the flexibility and agility of a dragon's form.

A spiraling upward garrote force erupted, faintly revealing the divine rhythm of a heavenly dragon coursing through. Its flesh particles rapidly reorganized, like a great dragon soaring into the heavens, instantly breaking free from the Ancestral Dragon's bonds.

Immediately after, the Heaven-Swallowing Rat leapt into the air, swooping down like a falcon striking prey, its blood-red claws precisely piercing the Ancestral Dragon's vital spot at seven inches, while another claw seized the dragon's tendon and hurled it violently.

At the same time, its body reorganized once more, a powerful levitating force erupted, mighty as a Kunpeng soaring straight up ninety thousand li.

A mournful dragon cry echoed through heaven and earth, the Ancestral Dragon struggled desperately, yet could not shake Ye Qin in the slightest. His body resembled a rope being violently pulled, trembling violently, that vibration spreading along the dragon's body into the endless void.

"Chaos Heavenly Dragon, the Power of the Great Dragon Form!" the Ancestral Dragon roared, strange light flashing across its body.

Vast power erupted from the dragon's tail, surging forward along its body, the entire dragon instantly becoming an arrow released from a bow, shooting out at astonishing speed, finally breaking free from Ye Qin's claws.

Yet, how could Ye Qin's Myriad Beasts True Martial be in vain? This "Divine Rat Seizes the Dragon" technique condensed all his physical strength — how could it be easily broken? Only see Ye Qin's blood claws suddenly probing into the spacetime rift, seizing the Ancestral Dragon's tail as it tried to flee.

A tremendous suppressing force descended like Mount Tai pressing down, only to hear a "Boom—" as the Ancestral Dragon was slammed hard into the ground, carving a abyss 120,000 zhang deep into the earth.

"Damn! What kind of monster is this Carefree Wanderer demon!" the Ancestral Dragon thought, both shocked and enraged.

Once that seemingly weak yet mysterious youth, now relying solely on physical strength and strange combat techniques, toyed with him as if in the palm of his hand. He felt unwilling, yet helpless.

Would Ye Qin give him a chance to catch his breath? He dragged the Ancestral Dragon again from the abyss and hurled it heavily toward other mountains.

For a moment, the earth shattered, abysses spread everywhere, and the majestic Ancestral Dragon was like a child's toy, utterly powerless to resist.

"How exhilarating! Truly so exhilarating! More exhilarating than anything!" Ye Qin laughed aloud, releasing years of grudges in this moment.

This earth-shattering battle completely destroyed the Dragon Mountain Range, exposing the dragon kingdom the Ancestral Dragon had painstakingly built before all eyes, drawing countless powerful beings to come and watch.

All who gazed upon the scene were stunned speechless.

Who could have imagined that the renowned Ancestral Dragon of Honghuang would be so wantonly humiliated by a Heaven-Swallowing Rat?

This shocking scene was deeply etched into the heart of every living being.

At the critical moment, the Ancestral Dragon unleashed the "Great Dragon Form — Divine Dragon Tail Swing," preferring to sever its own tail to escape bondage.

However, relying on the Patriarch's Cultivation Level, that severed tail quickly regrew.

"Carefree Wanderer demon, today either you die or I perish!" the Ancestral Dragon's eyes filled with shame and unwillingness, yet occasionally a flicker of vigilance flashed in his gaze, his eyes often scanning the mysterious space in the sky.

This naturally did not escape Ye Qin's Dharma-Breaking Divine Eye. He clearly knew that hidden there were several powerful beings, demonic and Buddhist qi radiating, and even several Patriarchs' true forms had personally arrived, evidently eyeing the Daoist Futon that would appear after the Dao's Nirvana.

That futon, containing the Primordial Purple Qi, could help one attain the Innate Holy Position, enough to drive all Chaos Demon Gods mad.

The Ancestral Dragon suddenly went berserk, its 120,000 zhang body surging with murderous aura as it lunged at Ye Qin, its mouth condensing the Chaos Heavenly Dragon Pearl containing all the power of the Dragon Kingdom. Ye Qin sensed the anomaly in the Ancestral Dragon's eyes, immediately exerting his full strength, as his claws danced, a black-red vortex appeared.

"Ancestral Dragon, today we decide the victor! Myriad Beasts True Martial — Divine Rat Seizes the Dragon!"

With a shout of fury, two blood-red beast claws emerged from the vortex, directly seizing the Chaos Heavenly Dragon Pearl.

In an instant, a heaven-shaking, earth-splitting explosion rang out, heaven and earth trembled, a huge hole appeared in the sky, the Heavenly River flowed backward, the earth collapsed, and countless beings suffered the disaster of having their heads severed.

The Ancestral Dragon cried out in misery as it fell into the sea, a Daoist Futon radiating mysterious light floated out from within it.

"Daoist Futon, Daoist Holy Position!" upon seeing this, everyone went mad and lunged for it. Meanwhile, Ye Qin had already restrained his aura, transformed into human form, and hidden himself within the three-legged giant cauldron, vanishing without a trace.

Just as everyone scrambled for the futon, suddenly demonic qi surged into the sky, explosions rang out again. Countless powerful beings were turned to ashes in the demonic qi, and their true spirits were sucked away by a mysterious force.

At this moment, Ye Qin appeared deep within the hole in the sky, treading on the Qiankun Cauldron, collecting one by one those true spirits containing great power into the Chaos Pearl.

Only see within the Chaos Pearl, the Chaos Giant Egg rotated silently, countless chaos qi clusters nurturing new life, those newly absorbed true spirits also began to absorb chaos qi, gradually merging into it. (End of Chapter)
