Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Only to see the Void Fish's spiritual light suddenly converge around its body, once again flowing into Lin Qi's body.
Soon, Lin Qi regained human form, his face full of lingering fear, raising his eyes to look at the Hundred Dragons Torrent ahead, his voice carrying a trace of trembling: "I... I have only seen records of the Hundred Dragons Patrol in ancient books of the Cangming Realm.
Only today, having seen it with my own eyes, do I know how terrifying it is!"
He knit his brows tightly, worry rising in his eyes: "Judging by the patrol's trajectory, it must have already passed through the Cangming Realm.
I do not know if my hometown still exists now, or if my clansmen are safe..."
Yue Kun Lun clenched both fists, his expression solemn: "Such an overbearing power, if it truly reaches the Tianyuan Realm, everything we have painstakingly guarded will turn to nothing.
Once the Water Spirit Qi is drained, cultivators will be unable to cultivate, and mortals will find it hard to survive; the entire Tianyuan Realm will become a wasteland!"
Xu Zhangqing's gaze locked tightly onto that torrent, his heart filled with both shock and deep unease: "I never imagined the Hundred Dragons Patrol would look like this.
A hundred thousand li of giant dragons galloping, even the heavens would tremble for it.
And you look..."
He stretched out a hand pointing to the center of the torrent, his voice carrying a trace of disbelief: "Within that torrent, there is actually a palanquin!
The Hundred Dragons are already so terrifying; could it be that behind them, there hides an even more powerful existence?"
Immediately, the other three looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed saw in the center of the torrent a suspended palanquin of immense size.
It used Xuan Gold as its frame, assisted by ten thousand dragons' Reverse Scales as decoration, its surface interwoven with the Chaos Qi of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang.
The Phoenix Canopy had nine layers, layer upon layer like a cloud sea hanging down.
In the Phoenix Canopy of the topmost layer, a huge Soul-Fixing Dragon Jade was inlaid, its jade quality translucent like deep-sea ice crystals, with a miniature golden dragon coiling in its center.
The tassels hanging from the edge of the Phoenix Canopy were neither silk nor cloth, but strung together from ten thousand dragon sinews, each emitting a cold light.
When lightly swayed, they would scatter countless fine spots of light across the vast sky.
The palanquin's main body floated with nine Xuan Dragons connected head to tail.
Each Xuan Dragon had double horns on its head, gloomy light in its eyes, dragon claws gripping the carriage walls, dragon tails twining around the palanquin's pillars, dragon scales and Xuan Gold almost fused into one.
The dragon heads held nine dragon pearls in their mouths, exhaling thick mist, shrouding the palanquin's interior completely.
At the four corners of the palanquin stood a Dragon Pillar each.
Their surfaces were cast full of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds Map, each map corresponding to a world the Hundred Dragons Patrol had stepped upon.
When the palanquin moved, there was not the slightest sound.
Only the dragon patterns occasionally flashed golden light, and with each flash, the surrounding giant dragons would all raise their heads, uttering responding cries.
Even separated by a great distance, one could feel a heart-palpitating aura.
Xuan Yan stood with hands behind his back, his expression still calm, his gaze sweeping over the palanquin as he spoke: "Changqing is right; behind the Hundred Dragons, there indeed exists a top-tier powerhouse.
Within that palanquin is the master of the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb, the Lord of Gui Xu!"
"The Lord of Gui Xu?"
Xu Zhangqing, Yue Kun Lun, and Lin Qi exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their eyes full of astonishment and doubt.
Xuan Yan slowly nodded, explaining: "The Gui Xu Dragon Tomb is the final destination of the Dragon Race of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
And the Lord of Gui Xu is the existence that governs the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb.
His strength is second only to the Five Emperors, and his status in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds is extremely high.
You do not know this: the Gui Xu Secret Realm of the Tianyuan Realm is the projection of the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb in the Tianyuan Realm, and it has countless connections with the Lord of Gui Xu."
A trace of sudden realization flashed in Xu Zhangqing's eyes: "With Great Elder's reminder, I remember now.
Back then, when I had just been promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, I once opened the Gui Xu Secret Realm.
That secret realm only allowed Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage cultivators to enter, opening once every 101 years.
Inside grew Extreme Yin attribute spiritual plants and treasures; I once thought it was just an ordinary secret realm, never expecting such an origin behind it."
Yue Kun Lun couldn't help but ask, his voice carrying a trace of apprehension: "Just how terrifying is the Lord of Gui Xu's strength?"
Xuan Yan's expression finally grew several points more solemn: "The Lord of Gui Xu's strength has long surpassed the understanding of Tianyuan Realm cultivators.
In the worlds of the heavens, the number of worlds he has slaughtered is not small.
This is why, among the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, there are not a few powerhouses capable of suppressing the Hundred Dragons Patrol, yet no one dares to act rashly.
Killing the Hundred Dragons can indeed stop the loss of Water Spirit Qi, but it would completely offend the Lord of Gui Xu.
By then, not only would one's own divine soul be annihilated, but the entire clan and entire world would be implicated, finally ending in ten thousand calamities without recovery."
The Five Emperors are the incarnations of the Five Elements roots of the heavens, governing the power of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
And the Lord of Gui Xu is second only to the Five Emperors, enough to see his strength is unfathomable.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Originally thought that as long as we found the trail of the Hundred Dragons Patrol, we could find a way to deal with it.
Never expected there was such a terrifying existence behind it.
The problem facing the Tianyuan Realm is far more troublesome than they imagined.
Lin Qi was the first to break the silence, speaking urgently: "Great Elder, what should we do now?
At the speed of this Hundred Dragons Patrol, I fear it won't be long before it reaches the Tianyuan Realm!
By then, when the Water Spirit Qi is exhausted, I..."
As a fish-man of the Cangming Realm, I cannot leave the Water Spirit Qi.
Otherwise, I will die very soon.
Xuan Yan heard this, his Divine Sense sweeping over the Hundred Dragons Cosmic Tide ahead, then spoke in a deep voice: "I made an estimate; at their current speed, in at most ten years' time, they will arrive near the Tianyuan Realm.
By then, the Tianyuan Realm's Water Spirit Qi will be thoroughly drained dry.
At that time, whether cultivators or mortals, all will fall into a desperate situation.
What is even more critical is that to this day we still do not understand what reason attracted the Hundred Dragons Patrol, which should not have approached the Tianyuan Realm."
"Indeed!"
Xu Zhangqing's brows were tightly knit: "Reasonably speaking, the Hundred Dragons Patrol should pass through the Cangming Realm, then head straight for the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb.
Why would they deviate from their trajectory and come toward the Tianyuan Realm?
Could it be, as Lin Qi said, that there is something in the Tianyuan Realm attracting them?"
Yue Kun Lun knitted his brows, his complexion quite unsightly: "Regardless of the reason, the most important thing right now is to find a countermeasure.
The Master of Gui Xu we cannot afford to offend, the Hundred Dragons Patrol we cannot stop — could it be we really can only sit and await death?"
"It is not sitting and awaiting death."
A trace of determination flashed in Xuan Yan's eyes: "For the present plan, we first return to the Tianyuan Realm.
First, contact the Three-Eyed Clan.
The Three-Eyed Clan walks the Zhutian Wan Jie year-round, their reputation precedes them, their foundation is deep; perhaps they have some understanding of the Master of Gui Xu and the Hundred Dragons Patrol, and can find a countermeasure.
Second, send people to the Tai Xu Lie Yuan, to request instructions from the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian.
You must know, the Tianyuan Realm is the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian's great rear; once the Tianyuan Realm has an incident, the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian will lose an important support, they certainly will not sit by and watch."
Xu Zhangqing and Yue Kun Lun heard this, a trace of hope appearing in their eyes.
The current plan, this is the most feasible method.
Lin Qi secretly thought: "So it turns out, this San Yuan Mi Luo Tian that dominates the Tai Xu Lie Yuan, its foundation is actually in the Tianyuan Realm!"
At this time, Xu Zhangqing nodded: "The Great Elder's words are extremely correct; the Three-Eyed Clan deals with various clans year-round, perhaps they truly have a way."
"Also unknown, how are Ling Shuang and the others faring?"
"As long as the Three Great Immortal Sects join forces, even if they cannot solve the Hundred Dragons Patrol, at least they can solve the Tianyuan Realm's internal problems!"
"No time to delay, we return to the Tianyuan Realm immediately!"
Yue Kun Lun and Xu Zhangqing responded in unison: "Yes!"
The four no longer lingered, turned and transformed into four streaks of Spiritual Light, flying toward the direction of the Tianyuan Realm.
In the Star Sky, the Cosmic Tide of hundreds of millions of li still moved, the tyrannical Dragon might swept across all directions!
