Chapter 187

He felt it with extraordinary clarity; the dragon might within the True Dragon Fist was even purer and older than a trace of Golden Emperor Dragon aura he had ever sensed from afar!

This completely overturned his understanding!

How could a human possibly cultivate the Dragon Clan's divine ability to such a pinnacle of perfection?

Could this person be a pure-blooded Golden Emperor Dragon wearing a human skin?!

But how could that be possible?!

Teng Jiuhuang and Hu Xiao Yu also trembled in heart and spirit, cried out in shock, their gazes at Ye Wuque like looking at a resurrected primordial dragon god, filled with fear!

They were now severely injured, having lost any strength to fight again!

"Run!!"

Hunyuan Jun, though arrogant, was not a brainless fool; seeing that the situation was hopeless, he immediately felt the urge to retreat!

He let out a fierce whistle, without hesitation unleashing an ancient talisman flowing with the Law of Space, about to tear open the Void and flee!

Teng Jiuhuang and Hu Xiao Yu also almost simultaneously gritted their teeth, using their life-saving spatial supreme treasure!

"Want to run? Stay then!"

How could Dou Tianchu let them have their way?

His battle fervor at its peak, his silver body, supreme over the world, surged outward, throwing a punch that blasted toward the forming spatial passage, hoping to break it!

The Holy War Heavenly Ape repays grudges; the frustration of being besieged just now will be avenged now!

However, as important heavenly prides of their respective clans, Hunyuan Jun and the two others would not have ordinary life-saving trump cards!

The spatial talisman and supreme treasure burst with intense light, forcibly stabilizing the spatial passage!

"Dou Tianchu! Today's grudge will be repaid someday!"

"And you two humans! I've memorized you!"

"I won't let you leave the Wasteland Heaven alive!"

Hunyuan Jun left a few hateful words; the three figures quickly blurred in the spatial fluctuations, then vanished completely, fleeing this starry expanse.

The battle finally ended.

The starry sky was in utter chaos, remnants of violent energy ripples and a bloody scent lingered.

Dou Tianchu looked in the direction the three fled, let out an unwilling snort, but did not pursue.

He subdued the boiling silver qi and blood around him, his towering, war-god-like stature returning to normal size, then turned to look at Ye Wuque and the War Prince.

In his magma-like eyes lay sincere gratitude; he solemnly clasped his fists toward the two:

"I am Dou Tianchu of the Holy War Heavenly Ape clan!"

"Thank you, fellow cultivators, for your righteous aid; I will remember this kindness in my heart!"

He is straightforward and clear about grudges; Ye Wuque and the War Prince extended a helping hand in his peril, and he accepted this favor.

Ye Wuque and the War Prince also returned the salute with clasped fists.

"Ye Wuque."

"War Prince."

Both sides briefly introduced themselves.

Dou Tianchu looked at Ye Wuque, his eyes still holding a trace of shock and curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Ye, forgive my frankness, we are strangers; I don't know why you would lend a hand."

This was his greatest doubt.

In the Wasteland Heaven, especially in such treasure contests, gratuitous kindness is extremely rare.

Ye Wuque heard this, a faint, reminiscent smile appeared on his face; he did not conceal it, speaking directly:

"To be frank, I acted because of an old acquaintance… he, too, bore the bloodline of the Holy War Heavenly Ape."

"Oh?" Dou Tianchu's eyes flashed with light; he immediately pressed: "Someone from my clan? May I ask who this old friend of yours is…"

"I don't know his true name," Ye Wuque shook his head, recalling: "We met in a secret realm called Feathered Ascension Fairy Soil; back then he was still young, and the elders and companions of his clan all called him… Little Hero."

"Little Hero?!" Dou Tianchu's expression shifted instantly upon hearing this, his magma-like eyes blazing amazingly, even tinged with excitement: "Could you be referring to… the foremost youth of our clan, my clan brother with the highest talent who astonished the entire clan… Dou Tianxiong?!"

"Dou Tianxiong?" Ye Wuque blinked slightly; he indeed did not know Little Hero's real name, only that everyone called him Hero or Little Hero.

Dou Tianchu nodded firmly, then continued:

"The Tianxiong clan brother had wandered outside for a period, only later to be retrieved by powerful clan members!"

"When he was outside, his alias was Hero! I never expected, Brother Ye, that you were an old friend of the Tianxiong clan brother! Haha, what a coincidence! No wonder you helped me—you're one of us!"

His doubts were completely dispelled, replaced by excitement and joy.

Since he is a close friend of the clan brother, helping him makes perfect sense, and it shows deep affection.

Ye Wuque also smiled, feeling quite moved inside.

I never expected to actually encounter a clansman of Little Hero in this vast Wasteland Heaven, and in this manner.

He also looked forward with anticipation to seeing again that Little Hero, full of childlike heart and astonishing talent.

After their rapport grew closer, under Dou Tianchu's enthusiastic invitation, Ye Wuque and the War Prince gladly agreed, joining him to step onto the teleportation array leading to the Holy War Heavenly Ape clan's ancestral land.

This Dou Tianchu indeed is a straightforward and generous person; once he confirmed Ye Wuque's status as one of their own, he instantly became talkative beyond measure, brimming with enthusiasm.

The teleportation array's light flowed, shuttling through the spatial passage.

Ye Wuque took the opportunity to ask Dou Tianchu about Little Hero's current situation.

When mentioning the clan brother, Dou Tianchu's face filled with pride and admiration:

"Brother Ye, you don't know, but after the Tianxiong clan brother returned to the ancestral land, he caused a huge sensation!"

"He is a pure-blood who wandered outside; his degree of atavistic return and purity surpasses all his peers!"

"As soon as he returned, he even roused the clan's slumbering ancestor, who personally awoke, examined his qualifications, was greatly delighted, and immediately took him as a closed-door disciple, teaching him attentively!"
