Chapter 439: Golden Dragon of Luck

Susanoo also wanted to use his speed advantage to bypass the blockade of the Dongfeng Series missiles and attack Meng Yifan, who was behind them.

Indeed, the flight speed of the Dongfeng Series missiles was not as fast as Susanoo's, and under normal circumstances, he would have had the opportunity to bypass them.

However, Shenzhou's missile reserves were astonishingly large; it was truly a case of massive quantity and endless supply, with hundreds or thousands of missiles firing in continuous volleys and exploding collectively, establishing a protective circle in every direction around Meng Yifan so that no matter which direction Susanoo tried to approach from, he would face the shockwaves of the missile explosions.

"Baka!" Susanoo was very frustrated; these missiles, which he usually looked down upon, had now become a stumbling block, obstructing his path.

On Jade Emperor Peak of Taishan, Yang Yijian keenly discovered that Meng Yifan was suffering from a Spiritual Power attack and must be at a critical moment of life and death, otherwise Meng Yifan would not have given up control of his body.

"Form the array; let us work together with one heart to lend True Person Meng a helping hand," Yang Yijian shouted from the heights, holding the Imperial Jade Seal.

The thirty-six experts of the Shenzhou Cultivation World present responded in unison; they had all received favors from Meng Yifan and were worried about how to repay him, so they were eager to contribute their own strength now.

The thirty-six Shenzhou experts stood according to the positions of the thirty-six stars, set up the Tiangang Array, and channeled their Spirit Power onto the ritual altar.

Yang Yijian stood on the ritual altar, performed the Seven Star Step, and mobilized the thick Spirit Power within his body, causing his Daoist Robe to flutter without wind and his hair to stand on end.

"Golden Dragon of Luck, appear!" Yang Yijian shouted loudly, and the Imperial Jade Seal in his hand emitted ten thousand rays of golden light; the luck of the entire Shenzhou was mobilized, transforming from virtual to real and condensing into a Five-Claw Divine Dragon.

This was the Golden Dragon of Luck of Shenzhou; when Shenzhou's national fortune was prosperous, the Golden Dragon of Luck's strength would greatly increase, and if Shenzhou's national fortune declined, the Golden Dragon of Luck would become listless and extremely weak.

The current Shenzhou, having experienced decades of striving for strength, had stood up once again and was a leading major power globally, so the Golden Dragon of Luck had also become very formidable, capable of exerting strength comparable to the Sixth Grade Peak.

Previously, Yang Yijian's strength was low, and even though he possessed the Imperial Jade Seal, he could not mobilize the Golden Dragon of Luck for battle; now, with Meng Yifan's help, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had become a Fourth Grade High Rank Immortal Cultivator, plus with the help of the thirty-six Shenzhou experts, he could already exert strength comparable to the Fifth Grade Lower Tier.

Such strength was still not enough, but it was already enough to barely mobilize the Golden Dragon of Luck.

"Golden Dragon of Luck, obey my command, go and assist True Person Meng in subduing demons!" Yang Yijian held the Imperial Jade Seal and pointed toward the east.

The Golden Dragon of Luck nodded in a human-like manner, then let out a resounding dragon roar and charged toward the direction of the East Sea.

Wind follows the tiger, clouds follow the dragon; the Golden Dragon of Luck flew in the sky, causing torrential rain to fall along its path.

While other places were bathed in bright sunshine, only the places the Golden Dragon of Luck flew over experienced heavy rain, and this rain came and went quickly; such a spectacle soon attracted the attention of a large number of common people.

"Look quickly, what is that glittering thing in the sky?"

"My God, that is a dragon, the Five-Claw Divine Dragon from myths and legends."

"To think there really is a divine dragon, it's too incredible."

The common people discussed it heatedly, and many took photos and posted them on social media, allowing more netizens to see the figure of the Five-Claw Divine Dragon, which made hundreds of millions of citizens extremely excited.

Shenzhou people had said since ancient times that they were descendants of the dragon, but divine dragons only existed in myths and legends, and no one had ever actually seen a real one.

Many experts and professors said that divine dragons did not exist at all and were merely divine objects fabricated by ancient people, their images usually composed of a combination of various animals.

It is generally believed that the divine dragon is mainly composed of nine animals: head like a camel, horns like a deer, eyes like a rabbit, ears like a cow, neck like a snake, belly like a clam, scales like a carp, claws like an eagle, and palms like a tiger.

This view was accepted by many, but there were still many Shenzhou commoners who hoped that the divine dragon was real; at this moment, they were all extremely excited as they watched the Five-Claw Golden Dragon flying in the sky.

Some commoners even piously bowed and worshipped; while ordinary people could not see it, those cultivators could discover that as the commoners bowed and worshipped, strands of Faith Wish Power flew out from the tops of their heads and merged into the body of the Golden Dragon of Luck, making it even more powerful.

Soon, the Golden Dragon of Luck flew over the East Sea, let out another earth-shattering dragon roar, and then dove into Meng Yifan's Mud Pill Palace.

The Golden Dragon of Luck was the embodiment of Shenzhou's national fortune, and fundamentally, it was condensed from the Faith Wish Power of hundreds of millions of Shenzhou commoners, so it could naturally enter Meng Yifan's Mud Pill Palace.

At this very moment, Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin was already in extreme danger; the God's Gaze emitted by Susanoo was too terrifying, destroying everything in its path and forcing Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power to retreat steadily; not only that, but God's Gaze could also trigger Meng Yifan's negative emotions, causing him to constantly experience all kinds of illusions.

In some illusions, Meng Yifan was just an ordinary mercenary, having his legs blown off by artillery shells on a battlefield filled with gunfire.

In some illusions, Meng Yifan was possessed by He Dongliu, losing his self from then on and having his soul scattered.

In other illusions, Meng Yifan was hacked to pieces by Susanoo, and then Susanoo charged into the land of Shenzhou, destroying dozens of cities and slaughtering hundreds of millions of Shenzhou commoners.

These illusions were Heart Demons; they were like dreams and bubbles, and as soon as Meng Yifan shattered one batch, more illusions would be generated, forcing Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin to struggle just to cope.

Just at this critical moment of life and death, the Golden Dragon of Luck charged in, and a resounding dragon roar caused all those illusions to shatter.

"This is Shenzhou's Golden Dragon of Luck, haha, that's great." Meng Yifan felt his spirit lift, and he beckoned to the Golden Dragon of Luck.

The Golden Dragon of Luck flew to Meng Yifan's side, and Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin leaped up and sat on the Golden Dragon of Luck.

"Eh! It can actually merge." Meng Yifan's heart stirred; perhaps because he was also a native of Shenzhou, after riding on the Golden Dragon of Luck, the Golden Dragon of Luck transmitted some information to him, explaining that the two sides could merge for an attack.

"Merge!" With a thought from Meng Yifan, the Divine Soul Origin and the Golden Dragon of Luck became one, which greatly increased the strength of Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin.

After experiencing the possession by He Dongliu, Meng Yifan's Divine Soul Origin had already reached the Sixth Grade Peak, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to persist until now under a spiritual attack comparable to a Seventh Grade Lower Tier powerhouse.

At this moment, Meng Yifan and the Golden Dragon of Luck had merged, and his strength had broken through to the Seventh Grade Lower Tier, even stronger than the God's Gaze emitted by Susanoo.
