Chapter 728

Just as the Six-Eared Macaque joined the Holy Court, they specially issued a tailor-made 'Aid the Spiritually Enlightened Stone Monkey' mission for him.

After Di Jun joined the Holy Court, they also specially issued a 'Counterattack of the Demon Court' mission for him, helping Di Jun rebuild the Demon Court.

Now, after Zulong joined the Holy Court, they again specially issued a 'Dragon Rise' mission for him, as if fearing that Zulong lacked ambition.

After noticing this trait, the members of the Holy Court felt a deep-seated aversion and resentment toward the Holy Court. Holy Court, truly a rare and extraordinary organization that appears only once in billions of years!

Zulong saw the 'Dragon Rise' mission in the Holy Court Mission app, and his eyes instantly flashed with a chilling light:

"This mission, could it be a test from the Holy Lord for the Venerable Self?"

"To shock the three realms…… such a mission is exactly to the Venerable Self's liking!"

"Perfect, the Venerable Self can use this opportunity to avenge those suffering descendants of the Venerable Self!"

Zulong accepted the 'Dragon Rise' mission without hesitation.

However, he did not immediately head to the West Sea.

Because the 'Dragon Rise' mission explicitly requires him to appear at the critical moment and turn the tide!

Now, the mighty beings of the three realms have not yet all arrived at the West Sea, and the timing is not yet ripe.

Zulong still needs to wait patiently; when the time comes, he will descend again to the West Sea!

Over at the West Sea.

Xiaobailong also noticed the 'Dragon Rise' mission, feeling both surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, the Ancestor Dragon Seal that Zulong gave him actually attracted the covetous gazes of many mighty beings, causing the West Sea to become tumultuous as various forces gathered.

Delightfully, the Holy Court organization had considered everything thoroughly, specially issuing a mission so that Zulong could appear and lend him a hand.

When the mighty beings of the three realms gather, Zulong descends to the West Sea, at the moment of shocking the three realms.

The Dragon Clan, which has declined for billions of years, will now announce its resurgence to the three realms! Xiaobailong eagerly anticipates it.

He secretly pondered:

"Haha, those greedy mighty beings, the more of you that come, the better!"

"Hmph, how dare you covet our Dragon Clan's treasures?"

"This time, I will definitely make you lose face, using your fame to build momentum for the Dragon Clan's resurgence!"

If it weren't for Xiaobailong having tempered his will through the Holy Court's trial ladder, his willpower would have greatly increased.

Otherwise, he would probably have become flustered from excessive excitement.

After all, the Dragon Clan has declined for too long, overly miserable.

After suffering oppression from various forces, the Dragon Clan finally has an opportunity for resurgence.

How could Xiaobailong not be extremely excited?

In Xiaobailong's anticipation.

"Amitabha Buddha"

The Buddhist sect's Maitreya Buddha arrived first.

Upon arrival, Maitreya Buddha intended to join forces with Guanyin Bodhisattva to capture Xiaobailong.

However, just as Maitreya Buddha was about to act, the Holy Emperor Chongen of the Heavenly Court also arrived.

Chongen Holy Emperor loudly said to Maitreya Buddha:

"Maitreya, you bully the small with your greatness—aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"

While speaking, Chongen Holy Emperor moved to stop Maitreya Buddha.

Then he said to Xiaobailong:

"Ao Lie, the Dragon Clan is originally a member of the Heavenly Court; I, the emperor, will protect you."

"To prevent the Ancestor Dragon Seal from being lost, why don't you first hand over the Ancestor Dragon Seal to me for safekeeping?"

No sooner had Chongen Holy Emperor finished speaking than Minghe Old Ancestor arrived.

Minghe Old Ancestor laughed and said to Chongen Holy Emperor:

"Chongen, you're truly shameless!"

"If you want to seize the Ancestor Dragon Seal, just say so; fabricating such lies to deceive a little child—don't you feel ashamed?"

After Minghe Old Ancestor, Guang Chengzi and others of the Chan Sect also arrived at the West Sea one after another.

Heavenly Court, Buddhist sect, Chan Sect, Asura Sect……

The various forces faced off against each other.

Seeing this stalemate, Maitreya Buddha spoke up and proposed:

"Our fighting here will not only yield no result, but may also allow outsiders to reap the benefits!"

"Why not make an agreement to first find the Ancestor Dragon's treasure trove together, then divide its contents equally?"

Maitreya Buddha's proposal received approval from many.

Seeing that Maitreya Buddha and others seemed to already regard him as something in their pockets, just as in ages past, preparing to jointly divide the treasures in the Ancestor Dragon's treasure trove, Xiaobailong suddenly smiled.

These people still think the dragon clan is that weak group from the past that they could bully at will, don't they?

The times have changed! Xiao Bailong coldly said to the powerful figures of all factions:

"Truly absurd to the extreme!"

"This is clearly our dragon clan's treasure, yet looking at your appearance, it seems to have become one of yours!"

"A bunch of shameless scoundrels, you will all pay the price for your actions!"

After saying these few sentences, Xiao Bailong raised the Ancestral Dragon Seal and spoke loudly:

Please Ancestral Dragon forefather return, to uphold justice for our dragon clan! Please Ancestral Dragon return?!

Xiao Bailong's words, like a bolt from the blue, shocked everyone present.

The Ancestral Dragon has clearly fallen for an immeasurably long time; why would Xiao Bailong say such words as "please Ancestral Dragon return"?

Could it be that, like the Yao Emperor Jun, Ancestral Dragon was resurrected by the "Holy Court"?

Mile Fo, Holy Emperor Chong'en, Guang Chengzi, Nether River Old Ancestor and other mighty ones all knew that Emperor Jun was resurrected by a mysterious organization called the Holy Court.

Under heaven, only the Holy Court can revive quasi-sage-level powerhouses.

So, if Ancestral Dragon truly resurrected, it must be the Holy Court's masterpiece.

But, is Xiao Bailong just bluffing, or has Ancestral Dragon really been resurrected by the Holy Court?

Mile Fo and the other mighty ones were uncertain.

The dragon clansmen of the West Sea Dragon Palace each felt utterly confused.

They thought Xiao Bailong might have gone delusional.

Ancestral Dragon's forebears have fallen for so long; why is Xiao Bailong foolishly begging for Ancestral Dragon's return?

The West Sea Dragon King was about to ask Xiao Bailong.

Suddenly.

In the void above Xiao Bailong, a domineering man clad in a gold dragon-patterned robe slowly stepped out.

With the appearance of that domineering man.

The sky of the Journey to the West World seemed as if the apocalypse had arrived, growing dark and lightless.

Heavy black clouds piled up layer upon layer in the sky; within the clouds, golden lightning danced like dragons and serpents. 'Crackle… crackle… crackle…'

The sky-filling dance of lightning phenomena deeply shocked the myriad beings of the Journey to the West World.

Not only that!

Every dragon and water clan in the Journey to the West World felt a reverence rising from the depths of their bloodlines.

Driven by this feeling of reverence.

'Thud… thud… thud…'

Throughout the Journey to the West World, no matter where they were, all dragons and water clans turned toward the gold-robed man and knelt in worship!

That gold-robed man was none other than Ancestral Dragon!

As an innate god-demon who commands the rules of lightning and water, merely Ancestral Dragon's aura caused heaven and earth to resonate!

Ancestral Dragon, he has truly resurrected!

Seeing the living Ancestral Dragon standing before them, all the mighty ones gathered at the West Sea had their faces turn grim.

If they had known earlier that Ancestral Dragon had resurrected, they would never have dared to come and snatch the Ancestral Dragon Seal.

But now regretting it is too late!

Ancestral Dragon has arrived; they and Ancestral Dragon have already formed karmic ties, destined for a great battle.

In that case, taking advantage of the fact that so many mighty ones are gathered together, joining forces to deal with Ancestral Dragon is undoubtedly a good choice. They felt that, even though Ancestral Dragon was a hegemon of the Honghuang Continent, who once suppressed the Yuan Phoenix and Ancestral Qilin single-handedly, he could not possibly stand against so many quasi-sage mighty ones!

It was merely a plan to bully the few with the many, which was somewhat embarrassing. In a brief moment, Mile Fo and the other quasi-sage mighty ones had myriad thoughts.

Under the gaze of them all.

After Ancestral Dragon descended upon the West Sea, he first gave Xiao Bailong a slight nod:

"Ao Lie, this old ancestor has come!"

Immediately afterward, his gaze swept over Mile Fo, Holy Emperor Chong'en, Guang Chengzi, Nether River Old Ancestor and other quasi-sage mighty ones:

"Are the possessions of this old ancestor something you can covet?"

"That is simply courting death!"

As he spoke, Ancestral Dragon lightly waved his hand at Mile Fo and the others.

With Ancestral Dragon's motion.

"Crackle…" "Roar… roar… roar…"

The wantonly dancing golden lightning across the sky resembled soldiers receiving orders.

They swiftly coalesced into golden lightning dragons, roaring as they flew toward Mile Fo, Holy Emperor Chong'en, Guang Chengzi, Nether River Old Ancestor and the other mighty ones.

Seeing this, everyone present was greatly shocked.

With this display, does Ancestral Dragon truly not put anyone in his eyes?

This is far too arrogant and domineering, isn't it?

Mile Fo, Holy Emperor Chong'en, Guang Chengzi and other quasi-sage mighty ones, though they clearly knew their strength could not match Ancestral Dragon's.

But as the saying goes, two fists cannot withstand four hands.

Ancestral Dragon's such contemptuous behavior is practically a great insult to them!

The faces of Mile Fo, Holy Emperor Chong'en, Guang Chengzi and Nether River Old Ancestor all turned grim.

Mile Fo said: "Amitabha, Ancestral Dragon benefactor, your hostility is too heavy; let this Buddha help you quell this hostility!"

While saying this, Mile Fo produced the treasure Golden Cymbals.

Guang Chengzi said: "Ancestral Dragon, you are too arrogant and conceited! Today this immortal will use the Heaven-Overturning Seal to suppress your fire!"

While saying this, Guang Chengzi produced the treasure Heaven-Overturning Seal.

Nether River Old Ancestor said: "Ancestral Dragon, although you once dominated the Honghuang, you have fallen long ago; now it is no longer your era!"

While saying this, Nether River Old Ancestor produced the treasure Primordial Slaughter Avici Twin Swords.

Golden Cymbals, Heaven-Overturning Seal, Primordial Slaughter Avici Twin Swords and other treasures are all extraordinary items.

If it were ordinary lightning, it would likely be easily dispelled by them.

But the lightning gold dragons produced by Ancestral Dragon are far from ordinary lightning!

Within each lightning gold dragon lies unfathomably profound lightning rules.

The existence of lightning rules makes each lightning gold dragon seem to possess the strength of a quasi-sage powerhouse!

Even though Mile Fo, Guang Chengzi, Holy Emperor Chong'en and Nether River Old Ancestor produced their treasures, they could not easily dispel the lightning gold dragons, instead suffering a minor loss.

Such a battle situation truly startled Maitreya Buddha and the others.

The thunderbolt that Ancestral Dragon casually created was actually this powerful?

If Ancestral Dragon manifested his true form and attacked with full force, could they still withstand him?

As soon as they clashed, Maitreya Buddha, Guang Chengzi, Chong'en Holy Emperor, and the others involuntarily felt a urge to retreat.

However, while they hesitated, the Underworld River Old Ancestor was quite decisive.

He knew well that he was formed from Pangu's polluted blood, and thus Ancestral Dragon's thunderbolt was exactly his bane.

Once Ancestral Dragon unleashes his full power, he will surely suffer a great loss.

Better to flee early!

Thus, the old scheming Underworld River Old Ancestor, seeing the situation unfavorable, actually disregarded face, decisively left behind a Blood God Son incarnation as a decoy, while his true form employed a secret technique to swiftly escape. Ancestral Dragon saw the Underworld River Old Ancestor's escape but did not intervene to block.

Because he knew well that even if he destroyed the Underworld River Old Ancestor's true form, it would be useless.

The Underworld River Old Ancestor left behind hundreds of millions of primordial spirit imprints in the Blood Sea.

As long as the Underworld River Old Ancestor's primordial spirit imprints are not completely erased, he can be reborn thereby.

Hence the saying: 'As long as the Blood Sea does not dry up, the Underworld River will not die.'

However, this does not mean Ancestral Dragon will let the Underworld River Old Ancestor off.

His thought was: 'You can catch the monk but not the temple.'

After settling the present matter, he will go to the Underworld River Old Ancestor's lair to settle accounts with him!

The Underworld River Old Ancestor is a special case.

As for other Quasi-Sage Great Beings, Ancestral Dragon will not easily let them escape.

Seeing Maitreya Buddha, Chong'en Holy Emperor, Guang Chengzi, and the others dispel the thunder gold dragon he had just created,

Ancestral Dragon then lightly waved his hand toward Maitreya Buddha and the others.

Crackle—

Roar—

In an instant, even more thunder gold dragons appeared, roaring as they flew toward Chong'en Holy Emperor, Guang Chengzi, and the others, entangling them.

As for Maitreya Buddha, Ancestral Dragon personally attacked.

Rumble—

As Ancestral Dragon attacked, a huge dragon claw like a mountain tore through space and grabbed at Maitreya Buddha. 'Could Ancestral Dragon bear a grudge against this Buddha? Why does he target him so?'

Maitreya Buddha's heart was filled with confusion.

But the situation was urgent; he had no time to think further.

Clang—

Maitreya Buddha desperately activated the golden cymbals in his hand, hoping to block Ancestral Dragon's dragon claw.

However!

Crack—

As the dragon claw contacted the golden cymbals, Maitreya Buddha's extremely hard golden cymbals were actually shattered in an instant by Ancestral Dragon's dragon claw!

"Buddha above, how could Ancestral Dragon be so powerful?!"

This scene frightened Maitreya Buddha, causing his complexion to change drastically.

Only then did he understand why the Underworld River Old Ancestor disregarded face and fled without hesitation.

At this moment, he also wanted to flee!

However, seeing Ancestral Dragon's posture, Maitreya Buddha knew he would not easily let him go.

Thus, he decisively sacrificed the treasure Human-kind Bag.

Hum—

The Human-kind Bag rapidly expanded, as if it could contain heaven and earth.

From the Human-kind Bag surged a suction force many times greater than that of Guanyin's Willow Jade Pure Bottle.

Maitreya Buddha originally thought that even if his Human-kind Bag was not the best, it could still withstand Ancestral Dragon for a while.

Who would have thought! Ancestral Dragon's dragon claw was completely unaffected by the Human-kind Bag's suction, snatching toward it like lightning.

Afterward, accompanied by a great force, Maitreya Buddha's Human-kind Bag actually fell into Ancestral Dragon's hands!

"My Human-kind Bag!"

Maitreya Buddha exclaimed in shock, utterly terrified.

Although he felt heartbroken to death, he dared not attack Ancestral Dragon again to retrieve his Human-kind Bag.

Even so, fearing capture by Ancestral Dragon, he spared no expense to unleash a highly consumptive escape secret technique, transforming into a Buddha light to flee swiftly.

Ancestral Dragon glanced at the fleeing Maitreya Buddha, neither creating thunder to block him nor pursuing.

After all, he had already destroyed Maitreya Buddha's golden cymbals, seized his Human-kind Bag, and made Maitreya Buddha pay the price.

Maitreya Buddha has fled; thus another target must be chosen.

Ancestral Dragon first continued producing thunder gold dragons to block the other Quasi-Sage Great Beings.

Then his dragon claw reached for Guang Chengzi. (End of chapter)
