Chapter 693: Supreme Golden Celestial Body

This move is a must-call; it is inconvenient for Hermia and the Ozil Empire to intervene directly, and he is just the right person to take them on head-on. As for the Five Dragons present, it is not that they lack sophistication or experience, but their only problem is that things have gone too smoothly for them. With powerful backgrounds, powerful origins, and powerful individual strength, they have absolutely no experience with setbacks or life at the bottom, which is fundamentally different from people like Li Hao who have clawed their way up.

The Star Alliance system has already taken shape. Although the Dragon Race is unique, they are not the sole dominant power. Their transcendence stems from their clan, interstellar power, individual charisma, and the "momentum" formed by various alliances and maneuvers.

"Li Hao, the Dragon Pearl cannot be leaked. I want to challenge you. If you lose, return the Dragon Pearl to Qi Yun." Ning Long had no other choice and could not care about much else; she was a bit like a gambler who had lost until their eyes turned red. Whether openly or covertly, she had to get it back. The reason for such urgency was the fear of complications; after all, the loss of a Phantom Dragon Pearl was a massive affair, and no one knew what kind of trouble might arise.

Li Hao looked at Ning Long and smiled, "Ning Long, when I first joined the Judgment, regardless of the reason, you helped me. I remember this favor. I can accept your challenge. If I lose, I can give this Dragon Pearl to you, but if you lose, you must also hand over your Dragon Pearl."

Having consecutively defeated two members of the Dragon Race, Ning Long's challenge was clearly not meant to buy Li Hao time. They would not allow Li Hao to leave with the Dragon Pearl. Li Hao could have completely refused the challenge—that was a Dragon Pearl, after all, with infinite possibilities, especially since the Ozil Empire was clearly on Li Hao's side, giving Li Hao the leverage to negotiate.

Ning Long glanced at Ying Hong, and Ying Hong nodded. There was no difference between one or two; for the Dragon Race, not a single Dragon Pearl could be allowed to fall into outside hands. This was a rule passed down by their ancestors; otherwise, no one knew what might happen.

"Fine!" Ning Long nodded.

"Empty words are no proof; let the contract be the witness!" Hermia said, "It just so happens that I am a Star Realm Contract Master and can serve as a witness."

Once the contract is reached, upon completion, the contracted items on the Soul Cards will be automatically exchanged.

Ning Long was slightly stunned, looking at Hermia, and frowned lightly. Hermia, who had always been like a vase or a decoration, actually possessed such ability and cunning? Hermia also stared unblinkingly at Ning Long; this was the stance of the Ozil Empire—a formal confrontation.

Is this the courage brought by the man before her?

Under Hermia's ability, the Star Realm contract was reached. The Ozil people had always known about the Dragon Race's actions, just waiting for an opportunity. Hermia was only soft in appearance; it must be said that after merging with A Youyou, her Empress aura was indeed growing stronger, and sometimes her brow carried A Youyou's spirit.

And Li Hao welcomed the third opponent of his Dragon Alliance Martial Arts: the Fire Dragon, Ning Long.

The Dragon Alliance Warriors in the entire arena were completely shocked. One-on-one at this level was already rare; was Li Hao already fighting his third dragon?

The on-site staff were preparing and clearing the venue. Everyone was very excited, using Star Swift to send messages. Losing a Dragon Pearl was even more shocking than defeating a member of the Dragon Race, and this human named Li Hao was going to continue fighting, only he was no longer the challenger, but the one being challenged.

Not to mention Sheng Guang, the expressions of Spanor and Teluoxi also became grave. The two had intended to challenge one of the Five Dragons this time and had a certain degree of confidence, but to say they would challenge the Five Dragons was simply impossible.

Xilian no longer knew what to feel in his heart. Now he only hoped that the Five Dragons could use this opportunity to make Li Hao never speak again; otherwise, things would be difficult later. Moreover, he understood Li Hao; if Li Hao decided to do this, it meant he had seen through the Dragon Race's stance. Li Hao didn't need to care about the Dragon Race at all; he only needed to be deeply bound to the Ozil Empire. The Ozil Empire could provide the vast majority of resources and technology needed for human development, and once humans received this support with their potential, they would soar. Only humans knew how terrifying humans were...

In fact, he was never afraid of Li Hao's individual strength. A brave man, no matter how powerful, is still just one human, and their final end is usually not very good. But a strong person who can see the direction, formulate strategies, handle the situation, and see through the key points is a King.

Li Hao was going to use the Dragon Race as a sacrifice to break the deadlock for Ozil. The losers would have no qualifications to dictate terms to Ozil. Of course, Ozil had in all likelihood promised significant rewards.

This was only one possibility, because offending the Dragon Race, while gaining Ozil's promise, would also offend the Dragon Race—the vicious kind. With Li Hao's personality... somehow, Xilian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, remembering the Apocalypse of the past. An inexplicable premonition made his heart jump; it seemed like something very, very critical was about to happen, something more serious than his own life or death.

What he could see, many others could see. What was Li Hao's true purpose?

Dragon Pearl... Dragon Pearl, was there some secret inside it?

Li Hao looked at Ning Long. Ning Long... was a bit strange. Her strength was only slightly better than the other two; what gave her the confidence to bet the Dragon Pearl and challenge him?

Ning Long's hesitation and small movements were somewhat similar, but the disdain at the corner of Ji Yao's mouth was too obvious. Inside this...

At this moment, everyone's attention at the scene was on Li Hao and the Dragon Race, knowing that something big was about to happen.

In the martial arts arena, Ning Long had already launched an attack on Li Hao. Once she entered her state, the Dragon Race's gentleness immediately turned into violent flame power. Ning Long's strength was significantly stronger than Jiang Qing and Qi Yun, and she was much better at using power and combat techniques. The deep blue flames turned the entire arena into a fiery hell. This thick blue fire, which other races envied, was indeed easily accessible to the Fire Dragon Race. Relying on soul strength, sensitivity, and attributes, the Dragon Race could slaughter everyone as long as their combat techniques were decent. Of course, a top-tier dragon like Ning Long had still put in hard work.

However, during the battle, Ning Long clearly felt immense pressure. Although she was the one actively attacking, Li Hao, who was being attacked, appeared completely at ease. Li Hao was absorbing this flame soul power, analyzing the characteristics of the Dragon Race's dragon soul. As for combat techniques, they were crude.

Humans had already pushed this aspect to the extreme in every direction. The details were completely incomparable to the Dragon Race, including the so-called combat techniques of the Celestials, which were all based on power. Due to the fragility of their bodies, the dedication and thinking humans put into Spirit Refining and Body Refining were simply not something they could compare to.

Once humans obtained power, it was truly not something they could contend with. Not just Li Hao, but Chao Qinglong, Maxis, and others held the same view. In terms of learning ability, humans were actually stronger.

Boom...

With a punch, he blasted Ning Long back. Li Hao stood still, his center of gravity lowered, opening his stance.

Ning Long took a deep breath and did not entangle further. She already knew Li Hao's strength; it was not something that could be defeated without Dragon Transformation.

Accompanied by raging blue flames, her body expanded, flames burst forth, and a fire dragon even more massive than the previous two appeared.

Ning Long's Dragon Transformation level was much stronger than the two who had just transformed. The surging power carried stability, and the flames turned deep blue. The flames spread; once touched, the soul would suffer intense burning.

Li Hao felt the flames around him. It seemed that the degree of Dragon Transformation was not enough to break through his Universe Power defense. Once entering the Star Realm, some power came too easily.

From birth to mastering power, the effort humans have to put in is a hundred times that of this place. Therefore, once humans master the way to obtain power from the Star Realm, the terrifying power contained within can absolutely leave other civilizations dumbfounded.

The giant dragon woman looked at Li Hao and, without hesitation, spewed raging deep blue flames. Li Hao let the deep blue flames burn him. A scene that left the Dragon Alliance Warriors on the scene dumbfounded appeared: Li Hao in the flames felt nothing, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.

This scene made everyone feel as if they were dreaming. The high and mighty, arrogant image of the Star-Casting Dragon Race was shattered in an instant.

It turned out the Dragon Race was not so invincible, not so high and mighty, and there were people who could restrain them.

Helena looked with pleasant surprise at the change in the atmosphere. This was exactly the situation High Priest Shilada wanted. The Dragon Race's influence mainly came from the myth of their own status, placing themselves above other races. This relied mainly on their talent superior to others and their unique Dragon Transformation ability.

What Li Hao did would not immediately change the Dragon Race's influence—it hadn't reached that level yet—but it was enough that during the festival, the Five Dragons present would no longer have the same "one word carries weight" effect as before. At the same time, it would spread afterward, breaking their golden bodies.

Roar~~~

Dragon Breath. In the past, as long as they transformed, they could crush their opponents. Whether it was the Dragon Might that deterred other creatures or the invincible Dragon Breath, regardless of the breed, they had innate suppression and lethality over other creatures, not to mention the crushing superiority in soul strength, power, and defense, which allowed the Dragon Race to tower over other creatures.

And now, they had finally hit a hard wall.

Gaia was very excited and said to Ma Long and the others, "If Li Hao can defeat the Five Dragons, his becoming a Coronation Knight will be a matter of course. No one can stop it."

Carrying such momentum, even if there were opponents, there wouldn't be much of a stir. By then, Hermia would bestow a title upon him, making him a member of the Empire. Nothing wins the respect of the Celestials more than defeating the Dragon Race.

On the battlefield, Ning Long felt deep panic, something she had never experienced before. Even in sparring within the Dragon Race, it was just a collision of dragon soul strength and attributes. But once she discovered that her invincible power had suddenly met a nemesis, she had never encountered such an experience and, for a moment, didn't know how to face it.

Dragon Might swept over but was directly grabbed by Li Hao. With the power of a giant dragon, she couldn't pull it even a fraction. Just at this moment, firelight shot from Ning Long's eyes, and a halo exploded.

Deep flames instantly burned and filled the entire arena. At the same time, the halo expanded rapidly, passing through the energy barrier and spreading to the entire martial arts arena. In the flames, Li Hao's movements seemed to be frozen; everything slowed down immensely, like a snail crawling.

At the same time, the Thunder Dragon Ying Hong, the Star Dragon Ji Yao, and Jiang Qing and Qi Yun, who had taken Soul Supplements to recover their state, had already arrived in the arena. Helena and the others were like they had been frozen; their eyes seemed to move, but very, very slowly, and their bodies simply couldn't keep up.

This was the reason Ning Long insisted on dueling Li Hao: the Fire Dragon woman's ultimate Time Dilation space.

The Dragon Race was not trying to duel Li Hao one-on-one, but to use Ning Long's ability to slaughter Li Hao.

Ning Long's power could maintain five minutes of absolute time. Once Li Hao was dealt with, they would exit. To outsiders, it would look like a fleeting illusion; Li Hao would be dead, and everything would be over.

"Humble human, who gave you the dog's guts to covet the power of the Dragon Race!" Qi Yun roared angrily, revealing his true colors. Even after taking the Soul Supplement, his face was still very pale. He knew better that if he couldn't get the Dragon Pearl back, his end wouldn't be good either. The jealousy and hatred for Li Hao in his heart had reached the extreme. Even if he took back the Dragon Pearl, he would probably have to accept punishment upon returning. He wished he could tear Li Hao into ten thousand pieces.

"Stop talking nonsense, kill him. We've lost a lot of face this time; we can't let him leave alive!" Ying Hong said in a deep voice. After speaking, accompanied by a thunderous roar, he directly transformed into his twenty-meter-tall Thunder Dragon true form, his whole body wrapped in lightning chains as thick as arms.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ji Yao's mouth. He was the one among the Dragon Race who was most reluctant to deal with other creatures. These humble creatures lived by the grace of the Dragon Race, yet they dared to resist. Little did they know, Augustus's bones were cold precisely because he didn't listen!

Back then, the Dragon Race supported Augustus and let the Star Dragon King intentionally lose to him to boost his reputation, all for the Dragon Race's plan. But Augustus actually grew a rebellious heart and began investigating the connection between the Dragon Race and the Abyss. The Dragon Race had to kill him. Having lost Augustus, the Ozil Empire no longer had any power to resist and could only rely on the Dragon Race. They didn't expect such a thing to pop up and disrupt the situation.

At this time, Ning Long had the Dragon Pearl in her mouth. Only when the Dragon Pearl's power was completely stimulated could such powerful force be produced. Hermia, Yekaterina, and other experts at the scene were all shrouded in the Time Dilation domain. Moreover, this sudden change was something no one had anticipated. The Dragon Race's image was truly too good; some people at the scene even felt Li Hao was a bit excessive, never thinking that the Dragon Race would launch a despicable group sneak attack in full view of everyone.

And it was very smooth... without any guilt or hesitation.

Ji Yao had already transformed into a nearly twenty-meter Star Dragon. Although his size was a bit smaller than Ying Hong's, his power was the most formidable among them all.

Thunder-Soul-Extinguishing Dragon Flame!

Nebula Sky Blast!

Absolute Zero!

Ning Long controlled the field, Ji Yao, Ying Hong, and Jiang Qing launched a joint attack, while Qi Yun prepared to snatch the Dragon Pearl.

However, at this very moment, a golden halo burst forth from Li Hao's body; Ning Long's expression changed drastically, and another Time Dilation domain struck out.

Time Contraction Domain!

The two domains overlapped; they did not cancel each other out but were neutralized, and in an instant, everyone at the Dragon Alliance Martial Arts scene woke from their stupor, stunned by the scene before them.

The Five Dragons had somehow all appeared on the martial arts field and launched an attack on Li Hao, this……

???

What is going on?

In the eyes of the world, the Dragon Race is absolutely magnificent and upright; Celestials all have various desires, but only the Dragon Race does not, and they have always been the maintainers of the Star River Order. Any dispute that cannot be resolved is settled once the Dragon Race steps in, and both sides will always give them face. Among all orders, the Dragon Race enjoys privileges, and most impressively, other civilizations in the Galaxy feel this is only natural.

Yet now, the Five Dragons, while talking about a one-on-one duel and even having signed the Galaxy Contract, are simultaneously and despicably ganging up on Li Hao.

Although the domain was neutralized, the attacks from Ji Yao and the others had already formed; the full-force strike of four dragons is something even top-tier generals might not be able to withstand.

Discovering that the domain had a problem, Ying Hong let out a roar, "Kill him!"

As long as the person creating the problem is eliminated, there will be no more problems.

Leading the charge toward Li Hao, Dragon Breath hit his face, the purest strike of dragon power; Ji Yao and Jiang Qing followed closely behind, and even Qi Yun, who could not transform, rushed up.

Li Hao's Universe Force Shield expanded, and all the power slammed into it; the violent Universe Power made the entire space tremble, and even the energy shield provided by the Eternal Crystal began to totter.

Hermia was the first to react and immediately gave the order; the guard unit rushed up at once. Helena and the others also reacted quickly; Gannimeitis, Gaia, and Zuo Xiaotang all rushed toward the martial arts field, while Xilian revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth—Li Hao had finally hit a hard wall.

Other experts did not move; although shocked by the Dragon Race's behavior, this matter was clearly already between Aozier and the Dragon Race, and some were even gloating.

If Li Hao died and a rift appeared between the Dragon Race and Aozier, given the current situation of the Star Alliance, Aozier would need to ally with the Seventh Art even more; could they really become allies with trash like the Humans?

Once Li Hao died, Humans would lose their spiritual support, especially that power that came from nowhere; it would be much easier to knead them into shape, and even if they had potential, it wouldn't be so easy to realize it.

The power of the Five Dragons caused the entire martial arts field to begin collapsing; at the same time, a group of Dragon Race warriors who appeared from nowhere actually blocked the crowd.

After the Dragon Pearl was taken away by Li Hao, Ying Hong had already begun preparing; at that moment, Li Hao had to die. In the consciousness of the Dragon Race, all order is prepared for themselves. It is not that the Dragon Race does not want to enslave the entire Star Alliance, but their numbers and the vastness of the Star Alliance do not support it, and their advantage in one-on-one power cannot mask their lack of interstellar power. However, through various means, especially the Celestial species' worship of one-on-one strongmen, they have created the current situation.

At the same time, the Dragon Race seems to be a simple creature, but everyone has mistaken one point: the Dragon Race is a creature that can shape its personality and characteristics. Every dragon that enters the Star Alliance is well-shaped; it can be said that they are all excellent actors.

Yet, Celestials, Sea People, and Orcs fall for this, while the Zerg, Ghost Race, and Mechanical Race have no say, and due to long history, even if they object, they will become symbols of evil.

Celestials are the means by which the Dragon Race rules the Star Alliance; they are the ones ruling from behind the curtain.

As for killing Li Hao by ganging up, afterwards, as long as they label Li Hao as a Void Fallen, it was a forced necessity—who would object?

Such a small matter would soon be forgotten, and the Dragon Race could even very magnanimously give the Solar System some help.

The peripheral Dragon Race warriors were all members of the Dragon Race participating in the grand ceremony this time.

Although they cannot transform into dragons, their strength is not weak, and they easily blocked everyone.

As for the truly strongest group, they did not make a move, watching coldly; in fact... what the Dragon Race is like is not important, interests are more important.

Boom...

Li Hao's Universe Force Shield shattered, and the Dragon Breath slammed entirely onto Li Hao's body. Accompanied by a roar, a golden pillar of light shot straight into the clouds, and a golden figure floated up against the Dragon Breath, while at the same time, his body surged by dozens of meters.

A golden War God appeared; a huge palm instantly pinched Star Dragon Ji Yao—the Star Dragon is the form of the ancient Tianjing dragon and also the one with the most special power among the Dragon Race—the right hand grabbed the Thunder Dragon, the left foot stepped on the Fire Dragon, and the right foot stepped on the Ice Dragon; as for Qi Yun, he was like an ant, unable to cause any damage at all.

This was the inspiration Li Hao got from Cheng Konghai, because Qi Yun's Dragon Pearl had obtained the power of transformation, just not in dragon form.

Golden Super God Body!

This is his power state, which is already worlds apart from the extravagant attacks when he faced Man Ci Meng back then. The power of the Golden Cell does not need to be blasted out, but forms a circulation within the body; the defense and power of this Super Body alone are exactly what counters the Dragon Race's form!

Simple and brutal against simple and brutal; clearly, the Golden Super God Body beats the dragon form.

At the same time, the power of Soul Absorption began to activate, and a continuous stream of dragon power was absorbed by Li Hao; one by one, the Dragon Pearls floated out. Ying Hong, Ji Yao, and the others revealed unbelievable terror in their eyes; they never dreamed that Li Hao would have such power.

One by one, the Dragon Pearls entered Li Hao's body and merged into the Soul Card, which made Li Hao's maintenance of the Golden Super Body seem even more effortless.

As the Dragon Pearls disappeared one by one, Ying Hong and the others lost their dragon forms and lay on the ground, dying, while Qi Yun was already paralyzed on the ground in fear, his eyes vacant.

Yet Li Hao at this moment felt an indescribable, wonderful sensation; when the five Dragon Pearls gathered in his body, a certain wonderful taste was forming, as if something profound had appeared, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment.

The Celestials at the scene were completely dumbfounded, not only because Li Hao crushed the Five Dragons alone, but because... isn't this the Celestial Body?

The most glorious moment in the history of the Celestials, the power possessed only by the great Emperor of the Galactic Empire, the absolute supreme king—the Supreme Golden Celestial Body!

In the history of the Celestials, it was precisely this power, and it was precisely because of this that the Celestials of that time were able to unify the Galaxy.

Gaia, Lavitan, Helena, and the others all opened their mouths wide, their eyes round; this is a deep memory that every Celestial has, the form possessed only by the greatest king in Celestial history, surpassing the Dragon Race, the only one in the Star River Civilization... the Golden Celestial Body!

Yekaterina, Spanor, Teluoxi, and Gannimeitis—all the Celestials present were the same, because every Celestial originated from the former Galactic Empire, and the only First Emperor of the Galactic Empire was their common ancestor; in the Hall of Valor of Aozier, the spirit of the Galaxy Emperor is still enshrined.

The Golden Celestial Body, this is the most direct inheritance.

Not only that, this is not just an image; only the Golden Celestial Body can crush the Dragon Race, one god descending upon five dragons.

Just at this moment, the Hall of Valor above the peak of the Ruling Saint Song Mountain rang out with a roar that shot straight into the sky, Dong... dong... dong... dong... dong... dong...

power.

This is the resonance of the Hall of Valor, sensing the Golden Celestial Body.

Before everyone could react, with a loud boom, the already dilapidated roof of the martial arts field was completely lifted off, and a huge dark golden giant descended from the sky.

Boom.

Super God Weapon Aura descended from the sky, kneeling on one knee.

I don't know when, but outside the Shengge Zhengzhan Zhongxin, patches of Celestials were already kneeling on the ground, their eyes full of excitement and madness as they looked up at the golden giant in the sky.
