Chapter 797 - 397: Joining the Ranks of the Powerful?

The figures were all towering, the shortest reaching six or seven meters, while the tallest exceeded twenty meters. Among them were members of the Celestial God Race and the Titan Race. The qi and blood radiating from their bodies were not inferior to Chi Mo and Sheng Mu. However, all these figures stood respectfully behind an elder about three meters tall, with a silver horn on his forehead, a silver-white tail, and his entire body covered in silver-white scales, resembling a humanoid.

"White Dragon King! How can it be you!" Yan Sha’s pupils contracted sharply at the sight of the elder, unable to believe his own eyes.

"How is this possible! Why are you in the Black Mountain Star Domain? Weren’t you always stationed on the Initial Star?" The Lord of Pure Light looked equally shocked at the elder.

Chi Mo and Sheng Mu, on the side, wore indescribably grim expressions.

"Father, who is that elder? Why are you all so surprised?" Huang Yi whispered towards Chi Mo, unable to hold back after seeing everyone’s fearful reaction to the elder.

"He is the White Dragon King, the only person in the Imperial Country who successfully parasitized the Dragon Tribe!" Chi Mo explained with a grave expression to the confused Huang Yi. "You should know the Dragon Tribe; they are far from ordinary life forms. In terms of the hierarchy of life, they far exceed the Titan Race and the Celestial God Race, transcending conventional life forms. Yet, he succeeded in parasitizing them. Hundreds of years ago, he reached the Realm of Perfection in the Nine Gates Demigod Ultimate Technique and was crowned king on the Initial Star. Although officially he is a Six-Star God General of the Imperial Country, his real strength cannot be measured by that rank. He is likely one of those closest to being a venerable in the entire universe."

"The Dragon Tribe? Among the few closest to being venerable?" Huang Yi drew a deep breath, looking at the elder on the warship.

Within the entire universe, the Dragon Tribe exists at a life level just below the demigods, often capable of fighting beyond their tier. However, due to the rarity of the Dragon Tribe and the lack of a demigod among them, they are considered one of the strong races of the universe. If their population were larger or they produced a demigod, they could become the predominant race surpassing both the Celestial God and Titan races.

Ordinarily, a Dragon Tribe member who reached the Divine Fusion Realm was already a match for a Five-Star God General. A Dragon Tribe member reaching the extreme limits of the Divine Fusion High Tier could match a king-gifted with the Nine Gates Demigod Ultimate Technique at the Realm of Perfection.

Dragon Tribe achieving the Realm of Perfection in the Nine Gates Demigod Ultimate Technique!

He dared not imagine the strength of the White Dragon King.

"This Imperial Country must be out of its mind! The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, occupying merely a second-class life planet in the Divine Woman Star System, actually warrants sending such an entity for subjugation. What on earth has this Martial Arts Hall done to provoke the people of the Imperial Country?" Sheng Mu looked at the distant White Dragon King, filled with bewilderment and shock.

The White Dragon King’s status in the Imperial Country is second only to those high-ranking venerables. Though not currently a match for them, he is capable of contending slightly with venerables.

Such an entity, not to mention being sent to deal with a Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall on Canglan Star, would be overqualified to deal even with a Holy Hall in the Black Mountain Star Domain.

He couldn’t understand what merit this Martial Arts Hall possessed to warrant the personal intervention of such a significant figure as the White Dragon King.

Neither the Holy Hall nor the Starry Sky Commerce could dream of preserving the Martial Arts Hall by currying favor with them.

As Chi Mo, Sheng Mu, and others were in a state of fright, the White Dragon King, standing on the flagship’s deck, glanced at Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light.

"This Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall surely has capabilities to summon you two old fellows here," the White Dragon King chuckled lightly. "But alas, you two cannot stop me. While my mood allows, you may leave, for I will not harm you now."

Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light hesitated for a moment before shaking their heads.

"White Dragon King, you must underestimate us. Though you are strong, the two of us can hold you off for a while. Without your involvement, this troop may not capture as many from the Martial Arts Hall," Yan Sha spoke, his battle spirit surging.

The Lord of Pure Light nodded in agreement.

Though previously unclear why the White Dragon King had come, they somewhat understood from his delighted demeanor.

Potential!

The potential of the people at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was exceedingly high. According to Myriad Dragon Star’s data, the Black Obsidian gray-clothed disciples were not yet in the Divine Fusion Realm, yet possessed combat capabilities of that level. Their talents and potential were clearly superior to both the Titan and Celestial God races. During the Prison Dragon Star battle, the numbers of these gray-clothed disciples from the Martial Arts Hall further stirred the Imperial Country’s desire.

Though the Dragon Tribe is the strongest race, their numbers are exceedingly few. Currently, only the White Dragon King succeeded in parasitizing them. The Titan Race and the Celestial God Race, due to their half-god existence, cannot be conveniently captured and parasitized by the Imperial Country. To attempt such actions might trigger a war among the gods.

However, the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, with higher potential and life hierarchy compared to the Titans and Celestial Gods, and lacking the backing of a demigod, naturally became the most suitable parasitic hosts for the Imperial Country. Having someone like the White Dragon King sent to capture and enclose the Martial Arts Hall disciples was almost routine.

Yet, sharing the same notion with the Imperial Country, the others too were willing to assist the Martial Arts Hall.

"Stopping me? It seems you two don’t care for your lives!" The White Dragon King chuckled at Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light.

Though Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light were among the top existences in their star domain, they meant nothing in his view. On the Initial Star, any crowned king could easily vanquish these two, let alone him.

However, just as the White Dragon King prepared to act, a woman with red hair and emerald eyes, possessing a refined temperament and donning heavy defender armor, encompassed by a fiery energy mass, suddenly flew out from Canglan Star. Her terrifying aura enveloped the scene. Even a being like Huang Yi, at the Divine Fusion Realm, felt difficulty breathing, while those below the Divine Fusion Realm were paralyzed on the ship, unable to move.

"So strong!"

"Who is this woman of the Human Race?"

Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light couldn’t help but look towards the mysterious woman, feeling immense oppression from her presence.

Before Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light could gather their thoughts, Vanessa, like a shooting star, crashed toward the Imperial Country’s flagship.

"Courting death!"

The White Dragon King, seeing Vanessa approaching alone, unleashed a punch. It was a simple punch, merely enveloped with qi and blood power, devoid of any intricate technique, purely relying on his strength. Yet, this punch was supremely fast. Even experts like Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light, unable to deploy any Martial Arts, were reduced to a raw contest of strength.

"Don’t contend with him in strength!" Yan Sha and the Lord of Pure Light hastily shouted in warning upon sighting the act.

In the universe, Divine Fusion Realm masters capable of contending purely in strength with the White Dragon King were scarce, not only because the White Dragon King was a crowned king with the Realm of Perfection in the Nine Gates Demigod Ultimate Technique, but because he belonged to the Dragon Tribe, the universe’s strongest life form.

Tests conducted on the Initial Star gauged the White Dragon King’s actual strength to be far above the extreme limit of Divine Fusion High Tier, with bodily force surpassing 3.3 million tons, and exceeding 8 million tons when enhanced with qi and blood power, a strength that a Divine Fusion Realm without utilizing Martial Arts could not withstand!

Yet, facing this punch, Vanessa neither dodged nor evaded. Channeling qi and blood power into her hand, she greeted the punch head-on with her own.

Boom!

The clash of the two fists rocked the surrounding thousand-kilometer cosmic battlefield, sending shockwaves that caused even the High Tier Divine Fusion masters within hundreds of kilometers to tremble.

Immediately after, the White Dragon King’s three-meter figure was seen crashing into the flagship, denting the armor by dozens of meters. His form shattered into countless pieces embedded in the flagship, whereas Vanessa’s two-meter figure stood unscathed, her expression unfathomably calm...
