Chapter 205: You are... Xiang Long???

Headquarters of the Shenxu Alliance.

The man in golden clothes wore a respectful smile on his face.

"My lord, I have brought back the Dragon Soul Holder.

His strength is indeed quite good; I had to expend quite a few methods to finally capture him."

The man in golden clothes waved his hand, and a young man appeared on the ground.

The young man had his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a coma.

The masked man wore a smile on his face: "Are you certain he is the Dragon Soul Holder?"

"Certain. He reacted to the Heaven Dragon Array; he is undoubtedly the Dragon Soul Holder," the man in golden clothes said, his face full of joy.

This time, by bringing the Dragon Soul Holder, he would surely gain many benefits.

"Why are you looking for the Dragon Soul Holder?" Just then, the young man on the ground suddenly spoke.

This young man was, naturally, Lin Chao.

In order to find the mastermind behind the scenes, he had deliberately pretended to be no match for the man in golden clothes and allowed himself to be captured.

He had not expected to actually gain something.

Behind this man in golden clothes, there were indeed other powerful figures.

"You are awake?" The expression of the man in golden clothes changed slightly.

He had clearly cast an Imprison technique, so how could this Dragon Soul Holder be awake?

The masked man was calm, however; he looked at Lin Chao: "Not bad, this dull life finally has some amusement."

He looked at Lin Chao, his eyes bright and spirited.

"I am afraid it is not amusement." Lin Chao did not waste any more words.

At this moment, only by taking action could the problem be solved.

The masked man before him gave him a peculiar feeling.

He wanted to know what kind of face lay beneath the mask.

In an instant, Lin Chao struck; his speed was extremely fast, already surpassing the limits of the True Spirit Realm.

The masked man was slightly startled, and as a sharp aura descended, he retreated continuously: "Who exactly are you?"

The moment Lin Chao struck, he could sense Lin Chao's power and terror.

In terms of cultivation realm and strength alone, he was only at the peak of the True Spirit Realm.

But that sharp fighting will was simply not something a True Spirit Realm cultivator could possess.

It was as if he were not facing a True Spirit Realm cultivator, but a War Immortal.

The newly emerged Dragon Soul Holder of the Xiang Family could not possibly have this kind of strength.

"And who are you?" Lin Chao asked.

With a wave of his hand, the mask on the masked man's face shattered instantly.

A terrifying face was exposed to the air.

It was pitch black, pitted and scarred everywhere, and nauseating; one could not make out any features at all.

Yet, it gave Lin Chao an extremely familiar feeling.

Lin Chao narrowed his eyes, continuing to fight: "You are..."

In his mind, countless figures flashed by.

Suddenly, it locked onto a man in Golden Armor.

"The Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Palace?"

Back then, Lin Chao transformed into a dragon and fought against the crowd of immortals.

The battle lasted three thousand years.

In the end, they fought their way out from the depths of the Heavenly Palace, and Lin Chao combined with his avatar, his strength surging.

Every single True Immortal was slaughtered by him one by one.

And the Ghost immortals outside, as well as the Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Palace, were caught in the aftermath of his battle and died directly.

The masked man before him was actually the Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Palace.

How was he still alive?

"You are the true body of the Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Palace!" Lin Chao understood instantly.

The previous Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Palace was merely a clone refined from a Fen Kui Dan, with no spirit inside the body at all.

The masked man's expression changed drastically: "Who exactly are you?"

He was shocked for the first time.

His identity, apart from himself, was known only to that lord in Shenxu.

Others had no idea of his identity at all.

Even those geniuses who had participated in the crusade against the immortals back then had not remembered him.

Or rather, even if they had seen his face, they would not have recognized him.

The Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Palace was nothing more than his avatar.

Anyone who could know about his avatar must certainly know about the Fen Kui Dan.

Those who knew about the Fen Kui Dan included that person, Zimo, and Wei An.

And the person before him also possessed a Dragon Soul.

A terrifying thought arose in his mind, and his body began to tremble.

Impossible!

How could this be!

"Who exactly are you?" the masked man asked in fear.

At this moment, he was already capable of unleashing strength comparable to a True Immortal.

Yet, facing the young man before him, he felt immense dread in his heart and could not muster any desire to fight.

Once, that towering man had fought dozens of True Immortals alone; with just a casual strike, he had left him doomed forever.

The Puppet Pill shattered, and even his true body was implicated and wounded, suffering ten thousand years of agony.

Toward that man, he dared not feel hatred; his heart held only fear.

"Haven't you already guessed it?" Lin Chao said with a smile in his eyes.

"You... you are... Xiang Long." The masked man's body trembled, and countless terrifying auras permeated the air.

Beside him, the man in gold clothing saw this scene, his eyes filled with a look of dread.

"How is it possible, the Dragon Emperor is still alive!"

The man in gold clothing was a cultivator from Jiuzhou.

He knew that the lords above Shenxu were incomparably powerful.

However, he knew the terror of the Dragon Emperor even better.

The Dragon Emperor was an existence who had suppressed an entire realm single-handedly; he was the dawn of Jiuzhou.

The two people present were both terrified to the extreme at this moment.

The masked man was even more afraid, yet, thinking of something, a fierce look appeared on his face: "So what if you are the Dragon Emperor?

Since you remain in Jiuzhou, it means you surely have not reached the True Immortal Realm, merely lingering on in your survival!

Today, I shall slaughter you!"

Thinking of something, the masked man suddenly regained his confidence.

"I have a Sacred Artifact bestowed by the lord; how can you fight me?"

"Golden Armor!"

The masked man let out a loud roar.

A flash of golden light flickered.

A layer of Golden Armor appeared on his body.

It shone with golden light, looking mighty and extraordinary.

"Even a True Immortal cannot break through this Golden Armor.

Xiang Long, let's see how you fight me today!" The masked man roared, his voice piercing the clouds.

Yet, suddenly, his flight speed accelerated abruptly, and he was clearly fleeing in the opposite direction.

Even with the Sacred Artifact Golden Armor, his combat power was stronger than an average True Immortal.

However, he could not muster any fighting spirit against Xiang Long.

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

The pressure from the masked man just now was enough to make even him feel threatened.

Yet, after the opponent finished his harsh words, he ran away immediately!

Moreover, that escape speed was simply too fast, faster than most True Immortals.

"Competing in speed with me?" A cold sneer appeared on Lin Chao's face.

A golden light flickered in his eyes, and the man in gold clothing beside him died instantly.

And Lin Chao's figure also underwent a drastic change at this moment!

Dragon Transformation!

That's right!

Lin Chao began his Dragon Transformation!

At this time, he had not reached the True Immortal Realm, but he could already transform into a dragon.

After the Dragon Transformation, his combat power and speed were also greatly enhanced.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar sounded, and a golden dragon shadow tumbled in the sky, its black wings looking incomparably ferocious.

The dragon's roar echoed through the heavens, turning into a streak of golden light as it pursued the leader of the Shenxu Alliance.

Medicine Saint Sect.

Ye Ying was reading a book.

Suddenly, she stood up at once: "What is that sound?"

Just a moment ago, she had heard the roar of a special creature.

The entire Medicine Saint Sect began to tremble in a daze.

"Is that... a dragon's roar?" Beside her, a look of shock appeared on Ye Meng's face.

This sound was very similar to the dragon's roar described in the records.

Ye Ying and Ye Meng looked at each other, shock appearing on both their faces, and in an instant, the two soared into the air, rushing toward the sky.

At this time, the giants of the Medicine Saint Sect, as well as other disciples, reacted no differently than Ye Ying and Ye Meng.

Hundreds and thousands of people flew toward the sky.

Suddenly, Ye Ying's expression changed drastically, and an incomparably excited look appeared on her face: "A dragon! A dragon! A dragon!"

"A dragon!"

Everyone was incomparably shocked.

They were clearly seeing the afterimage of a dragon.

Obviously, the true body was long gone; what they saw was merely an afterimage.

"How could a dragon appear?"

Some were puzzled.

Some were shocked.

"To think that in this lifetime, I could actually see a living dragon; is this an illusion?"

The various titans of Jiuzhou were all incomparably shocked.

The dragon is a noble creature, a great existence in Mythical legends.

Of course, some titans also harbored suspicions in their hearts.

That Giant Dragon afterimage in the sky—is it not a bit too similar to the... Dragon Emperor in the records?

In Jiuzhou, there are legends of the Divine Dragon.

However, among all Divine Dragons, the Dragon Emperor is the most unique.

A Gold dragon body, black wings, with an aura deep and sacred.

It is impossible to tell what kind of dragon it belongs to.

Before their eyes, a dragon similar in appearance to the Dragon Emperor had actually appeared.

Moreover, judging by the appearance and the position, was it in a great battle with that leader of the Shenxu Alliance?

Or perhaps, was it hunting down the leader of the Shenxu Alliance?

Suddenly, Ye Ying shouted: "A Gold dragon body, black wings; this is the Dragon Emperor, this is Lord Dragon Emperor!"

Ye Ying's words were like dropping Mount Buzhou into the sea, stirring up monstrous waves.

"Dragon Emperor? What, this is the Dragon Emperor?"

"The Dragon Emperor, is he still alive?"

Shi Qing's body trembled, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

He also dared not believe it, and he could not be certain.

Could the Dragon Emperor still be alive?

"Senior Pill Saint, you have met Lord Dragon Emperor; may I ask if that Gold dragon afterimage just now was truly the Dragon Emperor?" a titan asked cautiously, his face full of excitement.

"I... do not know." Shi Qing sighed, and in the end, could only say this.

Matters concerning the Dragon Emperor were of great importance, and he dared not make any reckless guesses.

"Is this truly the Dragon Emperor?" The numerous titans were incomparably shocked.

And just at this moment, a tragic roar resounded throughout all of Jiuzhou.

"Xiang Long, I am merely an insignificant little bug, why must you persist in pestering me!"

"Xiang Long, ah, no!"

Everyone looked up at the sky, only to see a man in Golden Armor fleeing continuously within the Heavenly Vault.

Behind him, a Gold dragon was tossing and turning, yet it also seemed to stand still in the air.

Countless rays of Gold light danced and struck the man in Golden Armor.

The Gold armor on the man's body had its Gold light dimmed.

The Divine Dragon behind remained motionless, while he continued to flee.

However, his escape was merely a futile effort.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Ye Ying's face: "That is the Heavenly Palace Gatekeeper!

It is the Dragon Emperor hunting down the Heavenly Palace Gatekeeper!"

Everyone's hearts also instantly began to recall the records in the classics.

In the records, the Heavenly Palace Gatekeeper was indeed clad in Gold armor.

And before them, that Divine Dragon was mighty and sacred; merely the Gold light radiating from its body caused that man in Golden Armor to beg for mercy continuously.

Such an afterimage lasted for three breaths.

The man in Golden Armor fell; the Gold armor on his body was already shattered beyond recognition, and the aura on his body was extinguished—he had already died.

The dragon shadow on Lin Chao's body also vanished.

At this moment, he appeared at the South Sea Shore.

The murderous aura from just a moment ago had long since disappeared, and he himself appeared somewhat lonely.

"Die Niao, you are no longer in Jiuzhou."

His gaze was endlessly desolate.

He transformed into a dragon not only to Slay the man in Golden Armor, but even more so to tell Die Niao that he had come.

Yet, he did not receive any response at all.

"Shenxu..." Lin Chao's gaze was like the sea.
