Chapter 108: Celestial Court strongers arrive, the might of the East King Duke, the dragon clan rushes to aid!

In the primordial ages, years are not recorded!

On Fangzhang Immortal Island, time flowed slowly, and there was hardly any feeling.

Under such breathing adjustment, Chen Ku and the Black Dragon's aura rose steadily, the originally somewhat depleted mana gradually became abundant, and the power of divine sense surged forth again.

"Ah... suffering... ah......"

What puzzled the Black Dragon was that, during Chen Ku's breathing adjustment to regulate his own state, he kept uttering 'suffering' nonstop, moment after moment, which was extremely strange, causing the Black Dragon to keep glancing askance, his expression odd.

Little did he know, this was precisely the effect of the original Hundred Sufferings True Classic.

As long as he utters a cry of 'suffering', the mana within his body can grow a bit, thus also speeding up the recovery of his condition.

At the same time, the Black Dragon's recovery was also astonishingly effective.

Not only his mana and divine sense, etc., had reached peak condition.

Under the nourishment of the Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ginseng, even the primordial dark wounds left from his earlier self-ignition of essence and blood were faintly healed to some extent.

Although it still requires a long time to fully heal.

But this ultimately counts as a good start.

Time had not passed too long.

At one moment, Chen Ku's aura surged around him, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"They're coming!"

He merely lightly uttered these two words.

In an instant, the Black Dragon's expression greatly stirred, his heart jolted.

No need for many words; he also already understood what Chen Ku meant.

In a moment, the Black Dragon's eyes gleamed, a killing aura spread, gripping the heart and soul.

No more words, the two immediately rose to their feet.

After exchanging a glance, they slowly flew outward from the Immortal Island.

Chen Ku knew that even if he disregarded all face, merely 'hiding' in this Fangzhang Immortal Island would be useless.

After all, the Three Scenes Daoist had already broken this area's spatial formation, and the Cloud Lord had also escaped from it.

If they stayed here, they would instead be blocked by the Celestial Court atop the Immortal Island.

In that case, even trying to slip away by oiling the soles of their feet would become more difficult.

Chen Ku formed hand seals, activated the Grand Spatial Formation, stepped forward, and directly manifested in the outside world.

Just as he manifested, the sight before him left Chen Ku stunned, somewhat dumbfounded.

As far as the eye could see, over the Wuliang Sihai, shadows loomed, vast like smoke and waves, with an extremely mighty momentum.

Leading them was the East King Duke, with a mighty and grand aura, his eyes sharp.

And behind him, countless strongers of the Celestial Court followed, numbering in the myriads.

Instantly, Chen Ku's face fell, and he couldn't help but secretly grin.

"Hiss... suffering, suffering!"

"Is this really necessary?"

"Making such a huge commotion, those who don't know would think the Celestial Court is about to start a heaven‑earth great war."

Chen Ku couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

One could say, the Celestial Court truly paid him enough attention.

Yet this attention made Chen Ku secretly feel annoyed to no end.

He glanced in another direction without leaving a trace.

That was precisely the direction of the Central Land and where the Everlasting Volcano lies.

"Master, Uncle-master, please come quickly."

He thought so in his heart, feeling no shame at all.

"Just kidding!"

The Celestial Court's great army has arrived before his eyes; does he really have to face it alone?

That is not fearlessness, but the act of a reckless fool who knows not life or death.

Moreover, Chen Ku firmly believed that his own master and uncle-master had surely already noticed the anomaly here.

After all, the Celestial Court's side is so mighty as to shake the universe.

To speak without exaggeration, in the era before the Witch and Demon races had erupted into great war, such an act could be called unprecedented in ancient times.

However, Jieyin and Zhunti have not come; for now, Chen Ku still needs to cope on his own.

His face showed no ripple, joy and anger not visible.

Afterward, with a calm expression, or rather justified and confident, he walked toward the East King Duke and others, whose countenance was cold and whose aura was gripping.

"Hehe, fellow Daoists of the Celestial Court, are you touring the Wuliang Sihai in company?"

"Such refined interest is rare; I, the humble Daoist, will not disturb."

"Then I'll take my leave..."

Chen Ku said thus.

As his words fell, he made ready to turn and leave.

Upon hearing this, the East King Duke's already angry face couldn't help but twitch violently at the corner of his mouth.

"Touring the Wuliang Sihai in company?!"

You must know, the East King Duke had already learned everything beforehand from the Cloud Lord's mouth.

The Five Great Quasi‑Sage strongers came, and in succession four of them were lost.

Such a loss made even the East King Duke unable to help feeling the pain.

This time coming, it is no longer just to seize Xiandao's opportunity; it also carries the intention of bringing troops to question crimes.

And you little brat, facing the 'aggrieved party' coming to your door, you still dare to pretend ignorance despite knowing the truth?!

Your cheek thickness simply refreshes the cognition of East King Duke and others once again.

He gave a cold snort, and East King Duke spoke in a deep voice.

"Hmph, Chen Ku, don't act so shamelessly in front of me."

"This time, you killed our Xiating strong ones, subdued the Yellow Springs people—what else do you have to deny?!"

"Today, even if you are a Western disciple, if you don't give me an explanation, don't even think about leaving this place."

East King Duke spoke without nonsense, his words resonant, cold to the bone.

If we say that the Golden Toad Ancestor disappeared earlier, the Xiating people could only guess, with no real evidence.

Then this time, the evidence is solid; Chen Ku has no room to explain.

Upon hearing East King Duke's words, Chen Ku's face turned even more bitter.

Being questioned like this to one's face really is somewhat unreasonable.

Well... feeling guilty? That certainly doesn't exist.

Chen Ku continued to speak righteously and confidently:

"Ah... suffering..."

"How can Senior East King Duke so tarnish my purity?"

"I, this humble Daoist, am also left with no choice; after all, the various Daoist friends of Xiating have come, repeatedly causing trouble for me, a junior."

"I, this humble Daoist, am also utterly helpless, thus I had no choice but to strike back."

"Furthermore, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life; thus I spared the lives of Yellow Springs Daoist and others, unwilling to deliver a lethal blow."

"I, this humble Daoist, acted entirely with good intentions, yet I am so misunderstood—this is truly a great injustice."

Chen Ku's words left East King Duke and others dumbfounded.

What?!

Can this matter really be said like that?!

Clearly, you little brat, lacking martial virtue, struck down the Azure Skies Daoist when he was unable to resist.

But in Chen Ku's mouth, it became an unwilling retaliation?

As for assimilating the Yellow Springs Daoist and others, it is clearly to strengthen one's Buddha-realm power.

But this brat can still say, with unchanged expression and unmoved heart, 'Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life'?!

Damn......

Infuriating!

Too infuriating!

What a bunch of fallacious arguments, forcing reason three parts—such a shameless person—could there be a second under heaven?

Even Jieyin and Zhunti, compared to this hateful brat before us, appear quite 'convincing by reason'.

East King Duke was furious to the point of his face turning dark.

He said nothing, yet his aura fully revealed; the quasi-sage's might surged overwhelmingly, shocking all beings in the ten directions.

Swords drawn, bows bent!

Needle tips opposing!

It seems that in the next moment, if they disagree, both sides will launch a world-shocking battle.

Beside Chen Ku, the Black Dragon was also stunned dumbfounded by Chen Ku.

However, feeling the increasingly strong killing intent from the Xiating side, the Black Dragon's heart sank.

Today's affairs seem absolutely impossible to settle peacefully.

And as Chen Ku's mount, he certainly cannot remain uninvolved.

After a moment's contemplation, the Black Dragon suddenly shook its form, revealing its true dragon clan body.

For a moment, its immense form, like a mountain range spanning, once again hovered above the Four Seas, stirring boundless waves, triggering surging billows, mighty as rolling thunder.

"I, the Black Dragon, now command the spirits of the dragon clan!"

"Hasten here, to meet the Xiating in battle!"

The Black Dragon is also extremely clear-headed and decisive.

Even if he joins forces with Chen Ku to directly oppose Xiating's might, it is almost a daydream.

Therefore, only by summoning the spirits of the dragon clan to aid can there be a chance to fight.

Moreover, regardless of the Black Dragon's current status, in the era when the Torch Dragon does not appear, he remains undoubtedly the strongest among the dragon clan.

At the sound of the command, naturally the dragon clan stirs, countless dragon clans pay homage.

Indeed!

As his words fell.

Instantly, within Wuliang Sihai, myriad-zhang huge waves shocked the heavens, spanning earth and sky.

One after another, huge figures with mighty aura of the dragon clan also burst out of the sea, carrying boundless terrifying might, rushing toward the battlefield.

This scene, magnificently unparalleled!
