Chapter 188 Even a True Dragon Must Bow Its Head
Chapter 188 Even a True Dragon Must Bow Its Head
On the shores of Sun and Moon Lake, at the wedding, everyone was utterly shocked.
The unexpected gift, the seemingly ridiculous decree... Previously, everyone only found it laughable, but now, what exactly is in that stone box that makes the patriarch of the True Dragon Clan so fearful?
For a time, no one could figure it out!
Seeing this, Liu Ziwen couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, even he didn't know what was inside the stone box.
The box was given to him by Li Lan.
But now it seems that what's in there is indeed enough to make the True Dragon Clan wary!
……
While the entire venue was in an uproar, a man remained calm and composed at a table in the corner, pouring himself a glass of spiritual wine and sipping it leisurely.
This person was none other than Li Lan.
He had already anticipated the reaction of the True Dragon Clan.
The thing stored in the stone box was actually just a dog hair.
Black dog's fur!
After he absorbed a large amount of strange power using his unusual technique, he asked the cat to seal it with a stone box. Others could not sense it, but once Long Wanchuan opened the box, he would definitely be able to identify what it was.
Because the true dragon clan once revered that dog as if it were the god of death!
……
At this moment, a tremendous storm was indeed raging in Long Wanchuan's heart.
He ignored the comments and stares of those around him; his hand holding the stone box was trembling slightly.
He can't be wrong.
Back then, their True Dragon Clan reigned supreme in the Ten Thousand Mountain Range, enjoying immense glory and commanding the world with absolute obedience. But when that earth-shattering black dog arrived, it was as if the end of the world had come...
Immortals and saints are like ants before it, great saints are like mosquitoes, and even immortal venerables of the true dragon clan are considered its prey...
The terrifying and eerie aura seemed poised to destroy everything, and the overwhelming pressure of the imperial aura was so intense that even the physical bodies of the True Dragon Clan could barely withstand it…
The entire True Dragon Clan was thrown into a great exodus, even abandoning their thrones!
That was his eternal fear, and the greatest nightmare of every true dragon.
The moment the stone box was opened, memories from thousands of years ago surged back, and an overwhelming fear, as if facing an abyss, involuntarily enveloped his entire body. He felt as if he had returned to that time, seeing that invincible, colossal black dog that could devour true dragons...
But shouldn't that black dog have disappeared by now?
How did its fur end up here?
He subconsciously looked up and glanced at the throne that Liu Ziwen had brought.
Yes, that throne was originally tainted by an eerie aura, so much so that even the true dragons couldn't approach or touch it. But now it has been brought out, and the eerie aura seems to have been cleared away...
Aside from that terrifying black dog and its close disciples, who else could revive the True Dragon Emperor Throne? Who else could obtain even a single hair from that black dog?
He suddenly understood why the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan, such a small, insignificant human race, dared to be so arrogant as to issue a "decree" to their True Dragon Clan in front of all the races in the world.
Because behind the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan and Li Lan is that big black dog!?
When the True Dragon Clan arrived, when they went to the Thousand River Abyss Clan to demand territory, and even now... has that big black dog been watching them all along?
He felt his throat... was slightly dry!
"Well, Dragon Clan Chief, are you willing to grant my clan chief's request?"
Taking advantage of the momentum, Liu Ziwen spoke leisurely, following Li Lan's instructions.
Long Wanchuan, however, fell silent. His face seemed filled with weighing options, hesitation, and helplessness...
This left everyone in the room completely dumbfounded.
What the heck is this...?
The two demands in Li Lan's decree were utterly disrespectful!
Let alone the Thousand River Abyss Clan, which is considered an ant in the eyes of the forbidden clans, even if the Phoenix Clan, which is on par with the True Dragon Clan, came, they would not be qualified to issue an "edict" to the True Dragon Clan in such a condescending manner!
Therefore, any other forbidden race should have resorted to force and responded with the blood of the Thousand River Abyss Clan to uphold the dignity of the forbidden race.
But now, Long Wanchuan seems to be really weighing the pros and cons?
This is a bit outrageous!
"What exactly is inside that stone box? Could it be something that even the True Dragon Clan has to be wary of?"
"How could such a thing exist in this world!"
"This is unbelievable! This is unbelievable! Even the True Dragon Clan can be threatened?"
Everyone was amazed; it all defied all logic.
Are the true dragons really going to bow down?!
"Father!"
Long Yunteng, unable to bear it any longer, roared, "These ants have so insulted my race! They should be wiped out of the Thousand Rivers Land, their souls extracted and refined into Gu poisons, so they can suffer for eternity... What are you waiting for?!"
He is a proud son of the Dragon Clan, and today is his wedding day. But it has been disrupted by others, and his father has not done anything about it.
"Shut up!"
But Long Wanchuan coldly shouted, "Do you want my True Dragon Clan to be utterly destroyed?!"
Long Yunteng was stunned.
From childhood, he was exceptionally gifted and therefore extremely spoiled; this was the first time he had been reprimanded by his father…
"What exactly is the clan leader?"
King Wu and King Li frowned. Long Wanchuan's behavior was indeed very different from usual, too abnormal!
"Look..."
Long Wanchuan sighed and handed the stone box to the two of them.
Both of them opened it gently, but immediately their expressions turned the same as Long Wanchuan's!
fear!
That black dog cast a deep and unforgettable shadow on the True Dragon Clan!
"If we don't agree, my True Dragon Clan will likely face immediate destruction. But if we agree, in front of all the clans and major powers in the world, my True Dragon Clan will lose all face, and we will no longer be able to pursue the path of mutation..."
The three of them whispered to each other, all feeling that this decision was extremely difficult to make!
—Is the Great Black Dog really behind the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan? They had no doubt whatsoever, firstly because their fear was too great, and secondly because the Imperial Throne and Dog Hair were the most compelling evidence.
As the three of them looked at each other, struggling to make a decision, Xun Yuan Tianjun's expression also darkened completely!
"Brother Wanchuan, may I take a look?"
He took the initiative to speak.
But Long Wanchuan shook his head and said, "This item is related to a top secret matter of my True Dragon Clan. Please forgive me!"
I refused!
Xun Yuan Tianjun felt as if he had been hit over the head with a club!
He felt inexplicably aggrieved, and at the same time, a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
He had painstakingly set up this grand, open scheme, but by all accounts, it seemed like the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan and the mysterious entity behind Li Lan were destined to lose...
But now, that person still hasn't shown up. He only sent a minor immortal, yet it has already shaken the True Dragon Clan.
If the True Dragon Clan, following the "decree" of the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan, immediately reneged on their marriage agreement with the Sun Moon Cult and swore never to follow the path of alienation...
That would be an unspeakable blow to him and to the Celestial Court.
All his schemes will become a laughing stock, and the eight-character evaluation of Xun Yuan Tianjun as nothing more than a stupid dog will never be erased!
Thinking of this, his body felt inexplicably cold.
His mind raced, and he suddenly looked at the groom, Long Yunteng, and whispered, "Young Master Yunteng, your father is hesitant. If this matter goes wrong, your reputation will be ruined, and you will become a laughing stock. You must make the decision yourself, and I will help you!"
Long Yunteng suddenly jolted, turned around abruptly, and slashed fiercely at Liu Ziwen with a palm strike!
"Rebel!"
"what you do?!"
Neither Li Wang nor Wu Wang expected Long Yunteng to suddenly launch an attack.
They tried to stop them, but Xun Yuan Tianjun shouted, "The Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan has come with ill intentions, disrupting another's marriage alliance. Their crime is unforgivable! Kill them!"
In an instant, bursts of hidden energy erupted, and the experts who had been lying in ambush in the Celestial Court all moved!
Chaos erupted instantly on the field!
"Seek the Heavenly Lord of the Origin!"
Long Wanchuan was somewhat angry, but Xun Yuan Tianjun said in a deep voice, "Brother Long, hesitation will only lead to trouble. At such a critical juncture, how can you allow yourself to hesitate and waver?!"
He intends to drive the True Dragon Clan into a corner!
Long Wanchuan was practically cursing. That old bastard Xun Yuan Tianjun, it won't be your Celestial Court that gets wiped out in the end!
"Exterminate the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan and join us in the great cause of alienation!"
Xun Yuan Tianjun shouted again, and everyone's eyes turned to Liu Ziwen, who was about to be torn to pieces by me!
But it is at this very moment—
Thud--
A surge of powerful energy suddenly erupted from the auditorium. The pressure was so intense that it made everyone feel a chill. They turned around abruptly and saw that in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's hand, a stone coffin was rapidly enlarging and expanding. Inside the stone coffin, a dark yellow smoke was billowing out!
"what--"
As soon as the stone coffin appeared, Long Yunteng, who was closest to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, let out a miserable scream and was directly sucked into it!
"Oh no, this is the Coffin of the Underworld!"
Someone suddenly shouted!
"What Yellow Springs Ghost Coffin? Didn't that thing disappear a long time ago...?"
"This is an artifact from ancient times, even predating the Primordial Forbidden Race. It is said to be an artifact from the first era, capable of burying even Emperor-level beings..."
"This thing can melt all living beings in the world. Once you get involved, there is only one way out: death. This thing has killed a Celestial Venerable before!"
In an instant, the entire place erupted in a roar. Many of the primordial forbidden beings had heard the legend of this thing before, and at this moment, they were all terrified and filled with fear.
Many clans, such as the White Tiger Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan, are well aware of the power of this creature, and are now preparing to fly away!
But Shangguan Xiaoxiao was as cold and aloof as an ancient goddess of death, her bright red wedding dress seemingly stained with blood. She calmly said:
"You're all dead... so no one in this world will walk the path of alienation anymore!"
"Human cultivators may leave. This coffin is only for exterminating other races and the Immortal Court!"
Her words were like knives; on her wrist, as white as the moon, blood essence formed a line and continuously flowed into the stone coffin.
The price for driving the Yellow Springs Ghost Coffin was her life, soul, and blood essence, which had already merged with the First Heavenly Maiden...
everything!
But her gaze was resolute to the extreme, she would not hesitate to die ten thousand times, and she would have no regrets even if she were to perish!
However, she still subconsciously looked towards the arena, searching...
She hoped to see Li Lan one last time.
But I also wish he hadn't come.
……
"Come on!"
"No! Even the void can't be torn apart anymore?"
"What is this? I'm entangled!"
Chaos erupted on the field!
Jin Muyun, the proud daughter of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, transformed into her true form as a Golden-Winged Roc and struggled desperately. However, the yellow smoke, like ropes, bound her wings, preventing her from escaping.
The Xuanwu clan's slow-moving old tortoise, though long-lived, had retreated into its shell, attempting to break through the space, but the yellow smoke disoriented it.
Even the True Dragon Clan, with King Wu and King Li desperately trying to tear everything apart, were all in vain. The power of the Yellow Spring Ghost Coffin was too astonishing, leaving them helpless!
Some even used magic treasures at the level of immortal lords, but to no avail!
"Are we all destined to die here?!"
"A conspiracy... The marriage alliance of the Sun Moon Sect was nothing but a conspiracy from beginning to end. They actually wanted to wipe us out in one fell swoop. This is a conspiracy against the Forbidden Clan!"
"What a vicious plan! What a vicious plan!"
The primordial forbidden beings, who were usually so domineering and arrogant, were now filled with fear!
In fact, among so many races, there are many imperial weapons. For example, the True Dragon race, if they obtain an imperial weapon of the True Dragon Emperor, they may have a chance to fight against him!
But who could have predicted that this grand wedding would turn into such a deadly affair?
The Yellow Springs Ghost Coffin, which once buried an Immortal Emperor and refined an Immortal Venerable, is a deadly weapon for everyone present.
Even the two Immortal Venerables who were secretly hiding, one from the Immortal Court and the other from the True Dragon Clan, were forced to show themselves. They evolved their Great Dao Domains to maintain their own strength and temporarily prevent their decline, but the expressions of these two Immortal Venerables were extremely ugly. They could only hold on for a while!
The human cultivators, however, were not targeted by the Yellow Spring Ghost Coffin. They fled far away, shouting from afar:
"Fellow Daoists of the Sun Moon Sect, why must you do this!"
"They are the hope for transformation!"
"We can talk things over; there's no need to go this far!"
On the one hand, they were extremely grateful that they had not been targeted, but on the other hand, they were anxious. After all, the human forces that came this time, to some extent, hoped to establish good relations with the forbidden beings of the Primordial Era in order to facilitate future marriage alliances, etc.
They did not want to see the forbidden beings of the beginning die.
Inside the hall, Sect Leader Luo Yan smiled, walked to Shangguan Xiaoxiao's side, and said calmly:
"Fellow human cultivators, the path to immortality is one of facing death to live. Today, I will extinguish the thoughts of alienation in you all. From this day forward, I urge you all to strive and fight for the human race!"
She had considered killing the human cultivators as well.
However, that would make the human race even weaker in the face of the gray fog in the future.
In her view, all the major realms and holy lands were merely misled by the Celestial Court, and there was still room for salvation. If they survived, they might one day be able to make contributions to the physical body.
That's why they made an exception for us!
"This is all that my Sun Moon Sect can do for the Immortal Realm... The future is entrusted to you, Brother Lin, Young Master Li..."
She whispered.
From the very beginning, the arranged marriage was indeed a conspiracy.
Using the Yellow Springs Ghost Coffin as a trap, the First Heavenly Maiden as bait, and the entire Sun Moon Sect as mortal sacrifices... slaughter all the forbidden races in this world, thereby severing the human race's thoughts of alienation and restoring the situation of war.
Your efforts are truly commendable!
"Poisonous woman!"
"You bitches, you two bitches!"
"You have slaughtered the forbidden race, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
Meanwhile, the various forbidden clans and the people of the Celestial Court were all screaming and wailing in agony, cursing with venomous resentment!
The Yellow Springs Ghost Coffin is like a gaping maw of an abyss, and the yellow smoke that it emits is so powerful that almost every living being entangled in the yellow smoke is instantly swept into the coffin.
Especially among the younger generation, those with weaker cultivation levels are simply powerless to resist.
"Mu Yun!"
"Ruoxuan!"
"Return my holy son Ye Lan to my clan!"
The Golden-Winged Roc Clan, the White Tiger Clan, the Yaksha Clan, and others all brought their core geniuses to the banquet this time. Now, seeing them being swept into the coffins, the experts in their clans cried out anxiously, their eyes turning red!
This is the future of all ethnic groups!
However, no one can save them now. Even these experts themselves can only barely maintain their own temporary safety from being drawn into it.
The entire Sun and Moon Lake was transformed into a massive killing field, where the Primordial Forbidden Clan, the Human Dao Realm, and others could only helplessly await their doom!
"Xun Yuan, if we don't act now, when will we?"
At that moment, an old voice suddenly rang out, and a trapped immortal looked at Xun Yuan Tianjun!
This immortal venerable was named Yongzhou, and he was renowned throughout the Celestial Court. This time, he was invited by Xunyuan Tianjun to secretly oversee things, but at this moment, he also felt immense pressure.
Xun Yuantianjun gritted his teeth, his resentment reaching its peak!
If it were just the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan, that would be one thing.
He never expected that even the Sun Moon Cult was a trap, a huge trap!
This wedding banquet has devolved into a massacre of the forbidden beings of the beginning, and all his plans and ideas... are doomed to failure!
"Do you think you can succeed?!"
Xun Yuan Tianjun roared angrily and, disregarding everything, took out a piece of white jade from his bosom that was crystal clear but had a faint blood-red glow.
A drop of essence blood is sealed within the white jade.
This drop of blood was bestowed upon him by his master, the Supreme Immortal Emperor.
In a critical moment, activating this item can unleash the power of his master's strike!
"You all should die!"
Xun Yuan Tianjun, seemingly driven mad, channeled his magical power and suddenly unleashed the Emperor's Symbol—
In an instant, the Imperial Symbol shattered, and a surge of imperial aura shook the entire arena. A drop of crimson blood, imbued with a surging aura, slowly coalesced into a terrifying figure…
