Chapter 312 - 253 Lord Chi_2

The Flood Dragon seemed to be very troubled by Faming’s Golden Body as well. Following a fierce roar, the nearby river erupted, sending countless surges of water skyward, which then formed massive tidal waves in the sky.

Such a vast amount of river water, if descended from the sky, would not only produce tremendous force but also destroy the nearby farmlands in its aftermath.

Seeing this, Faming, unable to contain his anger, thought the monster was extremely malicious, clearly trying to use the thousands of acres of fertile land as a threat against him.

"Fiendish beast, how dare you!"

"Save your breath, monk, if you don’t want the people within a thousand miles to starve, accept my challenge properly."

Having declared this, the Flood Dragon propelled the towering tidal wave at Faming, assured that Faming would not stand idly by.

As they say, water and fire are merciless. When water accumulates to this extent, the destruction it causes is truly astonishing; naturally, Faming could not just watch as lives were devastated. He took off his kasaya and threw it out.

The kasaya, swelling with the wind, resembled a thick wall, blocking the massive flood descending from the skies.

Seeing this, the Flood Dragon looked solemn. He had not anticipated that even at this juncture, Faming still had means to fend off his attacks.

"Impressive tricks, monk, but let’s see if you can stop the next ones!"

With a loud laugh, he twisted his body and plunged into the endless flood, stirring up the waters. Being a Flood Dragon, entering these waters was like returning home, his entire body surged with mana, causing the flood to swell even more tumultuous, incessantly battering the wall made of the kasaya.

Faming, watching the kasaya that seemed about to collapse, felt the force emanating from it and knew that if this continued, he would not hold back the endless floodwaters. Behind him lay vast farmlands that would be utterly destroyed, and he dreaded how many people would be displaced.

Without any hesitation, Faming summoned the Purple Gold Alms Bowl from his hand and shouted loudly, "Monster, behold my Magical Treasure!"

The Purple Gold Alms Bowl took to the sky, emitting ten thousand beams of golden light from its mouth, shining onto the surging floodwaters, illuminating the shape of the Flood Dragon causing havoc within them.

The Flood Dragon immediately sensed something amiss; recognizing the formidable appearance of the Magical Treasure, and knowing better than to take a gamble, he quickly twisted his body, preparing to escape with the aid of the water.

However, at this juncture, how could Faming let him escape? His eyes wide with fury, he bellowed, "Monster, submit to the law, what are you waiting for!"

The sound boomed like a great bell, reverberating through the heavens—this was a Divine Skill of the Buddhist Sect, naturally imbued with Buddhist mana, reaching the ears of the Flood Dragon, causing her involuntarily to pause.

This momentary pause cost him his chance to escape; suddenly, the light from the Purple Gold Alms Bowl enveloped him completely, followed by a tremendous force that spontaneously manifested on the Flood Dragon.

Realizing the grave danger, the Flood Dragon struggled frantically, his body twisting as dreadful power poured out.

Yet all efforts were in vain; the power of the Purple Gold Alms Bowl involved cause and effect—once illuminated by that light, unless one possessed a Dharma Technique to sever cause and effect, or a special Magical Treasure capable of suppressing fate, one could not escape.

Now completely enveloped in golden light, it was too late for the Flood Dragon to think of escaping.

"Monk, release me now, or you will not leave this place alive!" Seeing this, the Flood Dragon cried out in panic.

However, Faming turned a deaf ear, still chanting incantations; the golden light intensified, and the terrifying force pulled the Flood Dragon’s body slowly out of the water.

"You are determined to be my enemy, monk. Release me now and our grievances will be settled, I won’t cause you trouble!" Seeing no hope in struggling, the Flood Dragon’s tone softened, pleading for mercy.

Faming, however, no longer paid attention to the words of the Flood Dragon; he was determined to subdue this monster that plagued the Mortal World.

"Very well, very well, such a formidable monk, let’s see how you end this affair!"

Seeing that his pleas were ineffective, the Flood Dragon instead roared fiercely. At that moment, he no longer resisted, allowing the golden light to take him away.

As the golden radiance gradually diminished, the Flood Dragon also slowly shrank. By now, he had completely given up on resisting, so Faming was able to capture him into the Purple Gold Alms Bowl without much effort.

However, there was not a trace of joy on Faming’s face, because he had learned from Ding Xiao that the real challenge would only begin after he had captured this Flood Dragon.

He was already mentally prepared, even if it meant death, sparing no effort, a truth he realized during his arduous journey of over a hundred thousand miles and years of ascetic cultivation.

As expected, after he captured the Flood Dragon, the tense atmosphere did not dissipate; instead, it became even more intense, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Then a thunderous roar came from the sky" Who is it?"

Dense, dark clouds enveloped the sky, obscuring the moon and stars, casting the Heaven and Earth into darkness, followed by a colossal red five-clawed Divine Dragon poking its head through the heavy clouds.

A pair of robust dragon horns pierced through the clouds, revealing the true form of the Divine Dragon, and its immense body extending nearly a thousand miles signaled its power.

"Is that Lord Chi, one of the Ancient Divine Dragons?" Lady Wu asked, looking up at the clawing dragon in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Ding Xiao sneered, "Other than him, who else could carry such a brutal aura? Only this old fellow would be so protective over a little Flood Dragon whose bloodline has been diluted countless times. It seems that centuries haven’t taught him adequate lessons."

"I heard this Dragon Lord was terribly oppressed by the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court. If not for the support from the Ancient Dragon Clan, he might have long been dragged to the Dragon Slaying Platform for a slice," Lady Wu suddenly said with a laugh.

After all, such embarrassing stories of a formidable being still had a market.

Hearing this, Ding Xiao also laughed, "It’s true what they say: good news stays within walls, while bad news travels a thousand miles. This Dragon Lord hasn’t ventured outside for many years, yet many in the Three Realms are still aware of his great deeds."

"Nevertheless, that doesn’t deny his formidable strength. This little monk is really in trouble this time."

Meanwhile, the City God looked up at the mighty and fearsome red Divine Dragon in silence, his Magical Treasure of a Treasured Sword at his waist trembling as if excited.

The Judge, under the terrifying presence of the Sword Qi, struggled to maintain his composure, his voice tinged with fear as he asked, "My lord, who is this Divine Dragon? He seems more formidable than even the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, doesn’t he?"

The City God laughed and said, "He is indeed Lord Chi, one of the Ancient Dragon Lords. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are merely juniors in his presence; naturally, his power is extraordinary. Had it not been for his encounter with the Jade Emperor, he might have had a place among those Dragon Kings."

"Ah, he actually clashed with His Majesty the Jade Emperor!" the Judge exclaimed in surprise. It was well known that this supreme ruler of the Three Realms had not personally intervened for many years, and anyone who had clashed with him was surely no ordinary individual.

"Yes, he was beaten quite badly and didn’t dare to step outside for many years. At that time, the Jade Emperor was a recently emerged cultivator without the Supreme throne, but looking at his demeanor now, he seems much stronger than before, perhaps even confident enough to challenge the Jade Emperor," the City God said gently, soothing his Treasured Sword as he chuckled.

The Judge, however, looked up in horror at the fearsome red Divine Dragon, feeling that the Three Realms had become alien to him. Why hadn’t these powerful beings made a name for themselves in the past, but were now stirring up trouble everywhere? Suddenly, he felt as if a storm was approaching, filling the building.

The relentless tide of the era surged toward him, leaving the Judge enveloped only in a sense of powerlessness.
