Ninth Turn of the Marquis Transformation Art and the Progenitor Dragon Transformation, Divine Court Edict, Dragons Hear My Command! (Major Chapter)
Aside from the inherent grandeur of the Dragon Race, the architectural style of the Ascension Dragon Platform is generally majestic and solemn.
However, on the Ascension Dragon Platform in the south called "Mu", the surrounding architectural style became mysterious and bizarre, and even the environment became gloomy and cold. The originally tall and straight trees had all their leaves gone, and the dense and sharp branches of the trees looked like menacing ghosts.
"Whoosh~"
Yin Wind howled, swirling around a purple figure.
Amidst the tornado, the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable stood tall and straight like an ancient pine tree, his deep purple robe seemingly blending into the void. His face was withered, his flesh almost dried up, as if he were on the verge of death.
But his eyes gleamed with a mysterious purple light, as if they could penetrate one's soul.
He held a Purple Flame Demon Bone Staff in his hand, the staff itself crafted from mysterious purple bone.
Wisps of purple flame swirled around it, as if capable of incinerating everything in the world. Each swing unleashed a terrifying storm of purple flames.
He was trying to change the rules of heaven and earth, but not to use it for attack.
Beneath the Mu-character Dragon Platform where the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable resides, there is a massive dragon skull, which is placed on a man-made altar.
It is almost half the height of the Ascension Dragon Platform, and the dragon's head is also quite large. When placed flat on the altar, its height exceeds 800 meters.
On either side of the dragon head of the white bone altar, there are two blue Flying Dragon that are over five thousand meters long.
They were chained to the altar, completely unable to struggle.
As the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable waved his staff, a beam of blue light entered the skulls of the two Lord Level Flying Dragon.
Below him was another red figure, his face handsome yet sinister, his eyes blazing with a fiery red light that seemed capable of igniting one's soul.
Red Bone Celestial Venerable!
The Blood Bone Sword in his hand was as red as blood, exuding a chilling, bloody aura.
With each swing of the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable, he was also continuously bleeding the two blue Flying Dragon at the peak of the Lord Level.
Soon, the two blue Flying Dragon at the peak of the Lord Level were completely killed.
Flesh and blood, soul and all other things were sacrificed and incorporated into the enormous dragon skull.
"Bone One, Bone Two, send over two more."
The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable spoke in a hoarse voice to the two elders beside him.
"Yes, Heavenly Venerable."
The two elders, Bone One Bone Two, were pseudo-first-rank beings. They had no flesh and blood, only skeletons and embers. They were over ten meters tall and their entire bodies were wrapped in black Daoist robes.
The skeletons are not their own; they are all refined from the bones of other powerful beings or top-tier life forms.
In the Dragon Language, "Mu" means to summon souls, and it grows in the Netherworld.
At this moment, the two Celestial Venerables were attempting to use the Ascension Dragon Platform to refine the enormous dragon skull below.
Because this is the skull of Great Dragon King that they dug up from a secret place!
"Sixteen Celestial Venerables jointly excavated the Dragon Race's Great Tomb and divided up the remains of the Great Dragon King 'Wu'."
"With the support of the Purple Dragon Royal Court, our Divine Sect has seized the dragon's head bone. If it can be refined into a magical artifact, it will be at least a treasure-level treasure!"
The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable's eyes were greedy as he looked at the dragon's head below.
Especially in a place like the Dragon Court Ancient Land, its power can be unleashed even more!
Because the rules of heaven and earth favor the Dragon Race, the strength of King Grade is generally greater than that of Human Race. In a royal city, this strength is even greater. Otherwise, the Dragon Kings of the various kingdoms would have long been killed and plundered by Human Race. Why would they need to pay tribute?
The Dragon Race's treasure-level artifacts, when unleashed, are even more powerful than the treasure-level artifacts crafted by Human Race.
As for the Great Dragon King, there is no comparable target, because Human Race of the highest rank simply cannot enter this place.
However, according to this pattern, a living Great Dragon King would definitely be stronger Human Race of the highest rank here.
"The plan to refine the Great Dragon King's skull has been in the works for a thousand years. If it can be successful in my hands, then the next God-Emperor will be born between me and him."
"If you won't compete with me, fine, but if you will—"
As the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable looked at the red figure below, a deeply hidden killing intent flashed in his eyes.
However, at that moment...
Bone One and Bone Two, who had just flown out to capture a live dragon for sacrifice, suddenly returned quickly.
"Reporting to the Heavenly Venerable, a powerful force has broken into the southern part of the Ascension Dragon Platform, about a thousand miles away from us. The ten Lord Level Dragon Race and thirty-two City Lord Level Dragon Race stationed there have all died."
Elder "Gu Shisan" has also died.
"Hmm?" The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable frowned immediately. "Which force was behind this?"
"It has not yet been discovered."
The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable turned his staff and began his calculations.
As a Celestial Venerable-level expert, at the First-Rank Life Palace Realm, one can almost always deduce methods.
However, as soon as the staff was turned, one of the skulls on it lit up with Golden Light, and a backlash occurred.
"A cultivator at the Fate Palace Realm has trespassed into our territory; they are not from the Alliance."
"That's a master from the Great Zhou."
He had very little information, but he could still guess it.
"Bone One, Bone Two, you two take the Dragon Race Lord to scout out the situation."
"Kill if you can, otherwise drive them to the east, west, or north."
The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable was unaware of the intruder's strength.
We can only try to find out what's going on first.
"Yes." Bone One and Bone Two immediately accepted the order.
"A first-rank expert of the Great Zhou." Purple Bone Celestial Venerable gazed in a certain direction, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable had fought against the powerful figures of the Great Zhou. During the Pacifying Barbarians War the Barbarians, the Great Zhou once attacked Yin You Mountain and killed many experts from the Purple Dragon Royal Court.
Later, the Liang King Rebellion occurred, which somewhat dimmed the invincible glory of the Great Zhou.
However, he still had a deep understanding of the strength of the powerful figures in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"The battleground for the alliance is in the Fire Hell Plains. The Ascension Dragon Platform is not the main objective. Just drive it away and let the other three factions deal with it."
"As long as you don't provoke me, I'll turn a blind eye and focus on refining the Great Dragon King's bones."
On the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform, thousands of miles away, the once pitch-black boulder has been transformed into a golden hue.
The ancient dragon patterns engraved on each stone exude the power of order.
The Dark Clouds had transformed into auspicious golden Auspicious Cloud, and to the east of the Ascension Dragon Platform, a colossal statue of the Dragon Emperor rose. The statue shone with golden light, as if it were crafted from pure gold.
The majestic dragon head was raised high, its eyes like dazzling stars, radiating boundless majesty and domineering power. Layer upon layer of dragon scales seemed to contain the mysteries of time and space.
"Splash!"
The fire had shrunk considerably, as if it had lost too much blood.
"Activating it is really not easy."
Zhao Xing felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
The Dragon Emperor Codex, in its complete form, is an unparalleled treasure. Even the fragmented version is a powerful artifact of the highest caliber.
Hou Bian Method's Sixth-Turn are really not enough.
"I'll eat it!"
Zhao Xing picked up the two bottles on the ground and sucked in the Kiss True Blood Storm inside.
Originally, these were resources that Ling Tianchen gave him to cultivate and break through to the Seventh-Turn.
But at this point, Zhao Xing had no choice but to use it to recover first.
Otherwise, he would be turned into a "dragon's skin".
"Akurama, the land of Sotu—.—"
"The Ancient Dragon Codex, Divine Blessing of Huazang—"
After receiving the replenishment, Zhao Xing continued chanting the Unsealing Spell in the Dragon Language.
Thanks to Shi Wenxuan's teachings and the information he consulted at the Great Dream Academy, Zhao Xing's unsealing speed is now quite fast.
However, the enemy arrived even faster.
Half an hour after the ceremony began.
"Swish swish~"
Bone One and Bone Two, riding a white bone warship, accompanied by ten elders of the Heavenly Luck Realm and fifty Dragon Race lords, appeared on the outskirts of the ' Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform '.
"What, this—..."
Bone One and Bone Two were immediately stunned.
"Is this the Dharma form of the Dragon Emperor Jie?"
"This Ascension Dragon Platform is completely unknown and has never witnessed any extraordinary phenomena. Why has the Dharma image of the Dragon Emperor Jie appeared here now?"
"Bone One, have you mistaken me for someone else? —"
"How is that possible! Look at them!" Bone One pointed at the Lord Level Dragon Race surrounding the warship.
Originally, they all obeyed the Dragon King Battle Token erected on the bone warship. Relying on the power of this hundred-meter-high battle order, Bone One and Bone Two were able to mobilize these Lord Level Dragon Race.
However, at this moment, they all became restless and, without waiting for their orders, began to roar towards the direction of the Ascension Dragon Platform.
"Ugh~~"
"Roar!!"
Fifty Lord Level Dragon Race all prostrated themselves before the image of the Dragon Emperor.
"It really is Dragon Emperor Jie! Otherwise, this situation couldn't have occurred!"
"Could it be that the powerful figures of the Great Zhou are performing a sacrifice to the Dragon Emperor?"
"Break in!"
Bone One brandished his enormous dragon bone club and struck the [Dragon King Battle Token] erected at the bow of the ship.
The dragon bone club struck a specific spot, and the dragons immediately fell silent.
However, it was simply impossible to get them to attack the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform.
"We'll have to do it ourselves!"
After informing the two Heavenly Venerables, Bone One and Bone Two led the ten Second Rank elders under the Demon Lord and continued their journey.
"Buzz~"
Flying to a point twenty miles from the Ascension Dragon Platform, a formation barrier appeared.
"The Great Zhou's Boundary Marker Formation? A mere trifle!"
Bone One sneered. If a Ninth Order Boundary Marker Formation were set up within the territory of the Great Zhou, they might be wary, but here, it wouldn't stop them at all.
"Dragon King Bone Spike! Go!"
Bone One's Black Robe tore open, revealing its skeletal battle form, with nine bone spurs growing from its spine.
The shortest is three meters long, and the longest is five meters.
Under his control, three bone spikes detached from his body and instantly pierced the barrier in front of him.
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
Each Dragon King Bone Spike pierced into the barrier, as if planted on it.
Then, the numerous tiny holes on the bone spur began to devour the power of the barrier.
"Open!"
With a wave of his hands, Bone One used three Dragon King Bone Spike to create a triangular window.
Xi swiped through ten Heavenly Luck Realm elders and immediately went inside, with Bone One and Bone Two following closely behind.
"The first layer of the barrier has been broken."
The Divine Luo King stood beside the dragon boat.
"A total of ten Second Rank, and two are of the first rank."
"It carries the Dragon King Bone Spike."
"Why are there so few people?"
Jiang Chuan, Xiao Huang, Ye Yukong, Tong Jin, and Ji Mengjun were all somewhat puzzled.
According to the information provided by Gu Shisan, the White Bone Sect has four First Rank members and sixteen Second Rank, and the Dragon Race Clan has over a hundred lords.
Of course, Gu Shisan knew nothing about refining the Great Dragon King's skull.
I may not understand, but the battle must still be fought.
"Chirp chirp~"
Xiao Huang's flute sounded the battle horn, and the other five of the six people, except for him, flew out to meet the enemy.
As the five flew out of the dragon boat, the figures of Tong Jin, Ye Yukong, Divine Luo King, and Jiang Chuan all distorted and eventually disappeared completely.
The greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless!
By distorting the rules of heaven and earth through the Great Sound Dao, the traces of the four companions were completely hidden. This is a top-level Invisibility technique that can conceal even the fluctuations of primordial energy, true intent, and even the Dao itself.
Of course, Ji Mengjun doesn't need to.
Some of her war dances conflict with this method, requiring people to see her.
Zhao Xing's clone watched as the four figures Invisibility.
" At the Second-Rank Heavenly Fate Realm, my spells can distort the rules of heaven and earth, and I can still understand a little bit of the changes."
+
"A first-grade Fate Palace Realm alters the rules of heaven and earth, making them completely incomprehensible."
"You can't participate until you've mastered the Dragon Emperor Codex."
"But that's not important. Once you master the Dragon Emperor Codex, things will be different."
"This is just the unsealing process. Once the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform is activated, those Dragon Race lords will stop attacking."
"Once I'm unsealed and master the Codex, I'll have authority even higher than the Dragon King!" Zhao Xing glanced at it and then lowered his head again.
Dragon Court Ancient Land is the world of Dragon Race, where the rules of heaven and earth favor Dragon Race.
It's using Dragon Race privileges!
It's not about Human Race's military strength.
Everyone knows that Dragon King Yin Xiu has so many treasures, Yin Li must also have treasures. The Dragon King is only a first-rank official, but so many first-rank officials have gathered in Guting Royal City. Why don't they dare to rob them, but instead obediently follow the rules to pay tribute and exchange?
The reason is simple: they can't beat them.
If we could just force it, the Dragon Court Ancient Land would have become the backyard of the Human Race long ago. There would be no need to learn the Dragon Language; we could just sweep through it.
After the battle outside the Ascension Dragon Platform began, Zhao Xing also entered the final stage.
The ceremony, from its commencement to its lifting, was shortened to a quarter and a half minutes by Zhao Xing, thanks to the kiss of blood essence and what he had learned from the Great Dream Academy.
It took time for the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable to learn about it and send someone over to test it, since the Ascension Dragon Platform is a relatively large area for the Human Race!
"Click~"
On the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform, the last fragment of the engraving fell off!
Zhao Xing's expression changed, he stopped the incantation, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. He immediately bent down and landed in the center.
"After having most of my blood drained, the seal is finally broken!"
At this point, the legal code finally revealed its true nature.
Nine five-clawed dragons encircled the golden ancient book, which was ten meters long and three meters wide.
"Merely possessing it won't harm me, but to truly utilize it and gain the power of the codex, I must at least be able to open it and grasp its basics!"
"Roar!""
Zhao Xing opened his mouth wide and swallowed the law code in one gulp.
Boom!
After swallowing the codex, the fire suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
The weight of this divine artifact was so great that it seemed to have swallowed the heavens and the earth!
"Ugh~"
A majestic and primal Dragon's Cry emanated from within its body.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~"
The fire's body suddenly emitted bursts of Golden Light, and its fiery red scales and flames were tinged with gold.
The Golden Light particles emanating from the legal code inside his stomach washed over Zhao Xing's body like a massive explosion.
"This is a test of bloodline!"
"The Dragon Emperor Codex can be considered the strongest divine artifact of the post- Dragon Court Era. Even a part of it must not fall into the hands of foreign races!"
"If it were anything else, I might not be able to handle it, but this is Hou Bian Method! In terms of bloodline, I am a true Dragon Race!"
What kind of Dharma form or Dragonblood Golden Body —in terms of pure bloodline alone, it cannot compare with Hou Bian Method.
It should be understood that once Hou Bian Method failed to revert to their original form, he truly belonged entirely to that race!
Even when killed in the Marquis Transformation State, they were still in the form of their corresponding race.
The Ten Thousand Transformations Grotto Heaven has been passed down from generation to generation, preserving the bloodline closest to that of the pure Dragon Race.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom~"
Golden Light washed over and over again, each surge of power penetrating to the deepest layers of flesh and blood!
It is both a test and an evolution!
Zhao Xing could sense that the current fire life structure was developing into a more perfect Dragon Race form!
The bottleneck that Hou Bian Method had encountered Sixth-Turn and Seventh-Turn of reform was now dissolving at an astonishing speed!
At the same time, the fire dragon scales began to transform, and its flesh tore apart and then quickly repaired itself.
"Ugh~"
At one point, Zhao Xing let out a roar.
The pressure from the legal code lessened dramatically, and he took flight!
A transformation, an amazing transformation, has occurred!
At this moment, his Hou Bian Method broke through to the Seventh-Turn and Eighth-Turn!
"At this moment, Zhao Xing's method is no longer Fire Transformation, but Kiss Transformation!"
However, his appearance is very different from Ling Tianchen's!
"Legend has it that Kiss has a dragon's head and a fish's body, and no claws, but I have grown claws."
"The power of the legal code has allowed me to develop a new Hou Bian Method, but this law is not yet perfect, "Zhao Xing looked at his appearance and quietly awaited the second test.
"Metaphor"
Within his Sea of Consciousness, the rules of heaven and earth descended, carrying the Great Dao of the Dragon Court, impacting his Fate Soul. "Merge!"
Zhao Xing immediately merged the seven main souls into one, transforming them into the Seven-Star Fate Soul. At the same time, the Seven-Star Fate Soul Illusory Form, turning into a dragon.
The essence of the Derivation God Art Fate Soul in the seven Fate Star. As for the appearance, it is not important. Soul-related secret techniques have similar variations, such as Soul Blade, Soul Sword, Soul Spear, etc.
"Click click click~"
His Fate Soul was teetering on the brink of collapse, and Zhao Xing seemed to be back in the state he was in when he first cultivated the Derivation God Art.
Back then, they were oppressed by the Mystic Rune Stars; now, they are oppressed by the Dragon Court Heavenly Dao.
Although Zhao Xing had only Derivation God Art, his divine sense reached 49,999 strands, which was more than many second-level Derivation God Art practitioners could achieve. Furthermore, he had seven Fate Star, which made him fully capable of withstanding this test of willpower.
Faced with the rules of heaven and earth and the trials of the Dragon Court's Heavenly Dao, his Fate Soul was constantly wounded, yet it was also constantly repaired.
At the same time, the body also undergoes changes, leading to the refinement of new Hou Bian Method.
"Click click click~"
Zhao Xing's face showed pain. Under this extreme pressure, he subconsciously recalled the scene of the Progenitor Dragon Creation in "The Ancestral Dragon Chant".
At the same time, his body couldn't help but let out a roar, "!"
This time, Zhao Xing finally heard his own voice.
"Dry moat!"
Like the tolling of bells and drums, the profound sound of the Great Dao resounded from heaven and earth, breaking the rules between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Zhao Xing completed his true transformation.
Hou Bian Method has reached the top level of the Nine Turns!
Buzz~
The Dragon Court Law Codex within his body no longer produced any unusual phenomena.
Zhao Xing looked down at his own body.
"This has nothing to do with the Kiss Transformation anymore. The dragon head, five claws, golden scales, and powerful bloodline are on a completely different level. The fire essence blood in the acupoints has completely disappeared."
"It's trending towards the form of the Progenitor Dragon!" Zhao Xing commented.
That was the first true dragon in the world, and its current appearance is almost identical to that of the Progenitor Dragon, only it is not as large.
A trace of the Progenitor Dragon's divine essence emanated from his Fate Soul.
This was a glimpse of the essence of "The Progenitor Dragon Creation" that he captured while practicing the Dragon Language Art Incantation.
This is also the reason why I passed the Second Stage the Codex, the test of the Fate Soul.
"Let's call the new Hou Bian Method ' The Ancestral Dragon Transformation '."
"All the Hou Bian Method of the Dragon Race ultimately aim to become the first true dragon."
"The ultimate goal of this method is also like this."
Indeed, it has created a method that holds promise for reaching the ultimate goal!
Of course, there is only hope now, since we have only captured a trace of the Progenitor Dragon's divine essence.
"This is only the top level right now. If we reach the ultimate level, then it will be the most powerful Hou Bian Method!"
Egg~
Zhao Xing's body rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into human form, and a golden book appeared in his hand.
The heavy, metallic-looking codex.
"Buzz~"
The moment his hand touched it, several clear images appeared in Zhao Xing's mind. One image was of a deep, black seabed, and the second image was of floating in a dark Abyss.
"The location of the other loose parts."
"So, at this time, the legal code in Yin Xiu's possession was already in a three-in-one state?"
Zhao Xing originally thought that the Dragon Court Law Codex was divided into nine parts, but this was only one of those nine parts.
But now that I've mastered it, I realize that's only one-third.
Because he had just obtained two other locations.
That proves that at this time, the Dragon Court Law Codex was only divided into three parts.
"So that's how it is. No wonder the trials were more intense, and I even created the Ancestral Dragon Transformation." Zhao Xing closed his eyes and connected with his memories from his previous life.
"The reason I know the legal code is in Yin Xiu's possession is because it was used in my previous life."
"After Yin Xiu awoke, he went on a campaign and became the Great Dragon King. He wanted to enter the Sin Sea to retrieve the other scattered pieces and had an earth-shattering battle with the Reverse Dragon."
13
"It seems that the Dragon Court Law Codex was broken up back then, and he ultimately failed to unify the Dragon Court." Now, looking at the background story at that time, Zhao Xing suddenly understood many things.
"The seabed of the Sin Sea is exactly as I know it. The scene of death I witnessed on the Heaven's Chosen Island was the Sin Sea."
"The second location is the Abyssal Demon Clan."
"Dragon Emperor Jie divided the code into three parts: one to suppress the Sin Sea, one to suppress the Heaven Abyss, and the third for governing the world."
"After his death, his Decree Chapter governing the world were passed down through the ages and eventually came into the possession of Yin Xiu."
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing understood everything.
"Hmph, now that it's in my hands, it can never be scattered again! Yin Xiu —"—"How could anyone understand the Dragon Race like me?"
Just then, Zhao Xing heard a faint whooshing sound in the distance.
A Dragon King Bone Spike pierced through the void and headed straight for the Ascension Dragon Platform.
As they approached the edge of the Ascension Dragon Platform, a figure appeared and punched the Dragon King Bone Spike.
"Heaven and Earth Dragon Fist!"
Tong Jin's muscles bulged, and the meridians on his muscles resembled Louse Dragon. He threw a punch, and seven Heavenly Dragon images appeared.
"Boom!"
The Dragon King Bone Spike was instantly smashed and sent flying to who knows where.
Without looking back, Tong Jin's figure disappeared.
At this point, Zhao Xing was already able to grasp the movements on the battlefield.
He had only recently completed his test; the battle of offense and defense had just begun.
"First-rank versus first-rank, Second Rank versus Second Rank, the battlefield is divided."
"Xiao Huang's initial cover was quite effective; three of the ten Second Rank of the White Bone Sect were killed in a single exchange."
"Currently, the number of first-rank cultivators is roughly equal, but the White Bone Sect has three more second -Second Rank."
The number of first-rank individuals is roughly equal, but their strength is not.
Ji Mengjun's Bone One.
While Zhao Xing was observing the battlefield, Bone One's soul had already been driven away, and his skeletal battle body had self-destructed. The spikes from earlier were launched from Bone One's battle body.
He wanted to try to interrupt the ceremony at the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform.
Tong Jin initially had the upper hand against Bone Two, but Ji Mengjun dealt with Bone One too quickly. After the self-destruction, he had to force Bone Two back to protect Zhao Xing from the bone spurs.
Killing the enemy is not the primary objective; protection is the top priority.
In the Second Rank battlefield, Ye Yukong fought three opponents, Jiang Chuan fought two, Divine Luo King fought two, and Xiao Huang provided support in the Second Rank battlefield.
They initially had the upper hand, but things changed after Bone One self-destructed.
Bone spikes were shot toward the Second Rank battlefield, attempting to relieve the retreat of the Second Rank elders of the White Bone Sect.
"The Ancestral Dragon Transformation!"
Zhao Xing's fighting instincts allowed him to react instantly, and he charged towards the area south of Ascension Dragon Platform.
Upon reaching Jiang Chuan's side, the dragon's body quickly curled up.
"Clang clang clang!"
Three bone spikes shot at the Grade A, comparable to a Ninth Order Divine Soldier. However, the Dragon King Bone Spike were blocked by the Golden Light of the codex after hitting the dragon scales.
The powerful impact left no mark on the dragon scales when it reached them.
The reason he prioritized saving Jiang Chuan was because this guy was a fragile warlock, vulnerable to a first-rate self-destruction.
Even from a distance, and without a precise stab, there is still a risk of being seriously injured.
As for the Divine Luo King, he was protected by the Divine Luo Mechanized Armor, and even if he pierced through layers of defenses, he could not be harmed. The Eight Tong Jin protected Ye Yukong, and Ji Mengjun and Xiao Huang were not the targets.
"Divine Might Marquis?" Jiang Chuan was somewhat bewildered, looking at the enormous dragon body.
Zhao Xing ignored him and flew swiftly to the edge of the barrier.
He spat out a golden codex, and a page was turned on it.
Then the Dragon Language resounded throughout heaven and earth.
"By Divine Court Edict and true words, I, the Great Dragon King, hereby strip you of your Dragon Race status!"
Huge golden characters flew out from the legal code.
Jinwen quickly twisted and reassembled, forming a giant dragon that rushed straight towards the fleeing Bone Two and the seven elders of the White Bone Sect.
After mastering the Dragon Emperor Codex, Zhao Xing was able to use Dragon Language 2, which surpassed the ninth level of the Upper Rank.
Dragon Emperor Golden Script]
It is a language created by the Dragon Emperor Jie, and its essence is the same as the Nine Great Spells.
To cast the nine great spells, one also needs to master the [Dragon Emperor Golden Script].
If one possesses the Dragon Emperor Codex and masters the Dragon Emperor Golden Script, one can unleash the [Truth Decree].
The first page of the Decree Chapter contains the "Vein Severing Decree".
It can strip Dragon Race of their Nobility Title and status, and reduce their bloodline power.
Zhao Xing wanted to test the power of the legal code, so he used Bone Two as test subjects.
The effect was surprisingly good. After the golden characters transformed into dragons, they crossed space and caught up with Bone One and the seven elders.
"Metaphor~"
The dragon's shadow seemed to pass through the eight people, then ignored the space and returned to the codex.
"What?!" Bone One was stunned. "The Dragon Lord's protection on me has disappeared!"
this---"
Just as the official rank and fortune of the Great Zhou could bless officials, the Dragon Race's Nobility Title had a similar effect, although the amplification was not as great. The main benefit was that it allowed Dragon Race to sense each other's positions.
It is a symbol of status and position.
Dragon Race hold both official titles and ranks. Bone One's Dragon Lord rank was obtained in the Great Arena of the Ancient Thunder Kingdom, and is known as the Dragon Training Lord. This Lord Level but lower than Dragon King, and the Dragon Trainer Lord is responsible for training Dragon Race warriors.
He was supposedly granted his position through his own strength in the Great Arena, not through tribute.
Even the Dragon King, without special equipment, cannot have his title stripped.
But now, it's been recycled!
If he was like this, the other Second Rank elders were even more shocked, as they had never seen such authority before!
Divine Court Edict? A single word from the Emperor strips someone of their status—how dare they possess such authority?!
The eight people were momentarily distracted and completely failed to notice that the fifty Lord Level Dragon Race around the warship were looking at them strangely.
Having lost their Dragon Race identity, they are now an alien race!
To enter the Divine Court, one must possess Dragon Race blood and identity; otherwise, one is considered a heretic. Now, Zhao Xing has used a divine artifact to reclaim the power of Bone One and the others.
In the eyes of these Lord Level Dragon Race, these are no longer 'their own dragons'.
"Citizens of the Dragon Court, heed my command! You are hereby ordered to swiftly exterminate the foreign race!"
Eight more golden characters flew out from the code, transforming into the phantom of a five-clawed dragon.
This time, however, they did not return; instead, they turned blood red and hovered above the heads of the eight people.
The second artifact, [Extermination Decree]!
"Roar!""
The fifty Dragon Race lords, who were already prepared, quickly rushed towards Bone One and the seven elders.
At this point, the eight people could no longer contain their emotions.
They fled back hoping to use these Dragon Race lords as cover for their escape.
Before he could even board the ship, his privileges expired, and he was instead chased and attacked by the Dragon Race lord!
"Ah, no!"
"I am the Thunder Dragon Grand Lord, you cannot attack me!"
"I command you. —Pfft!"
This is insane!
The fifty-headed Dragon Race lord was completely insane.
A group of giant dragons soared into the sky, their enormous bodies blotting out the sun.
Some of them were Jimeng lords, wielding sharp weapons, including longswords with dragon patterns that gleamed with a cold light, their blades flowing with mysterious runes, each swing seemingly capable of cleaving through the void. Others gripped giant axes, their blades thick and ferocious; a single blow could cause Earth Rift and the earth to split, creating enormous craters in the ground.
Some use their dragon claws, tails, and Dragon Flame to fight their enemies.
The roar of battle was deafening, and the dragons' roars were like thunderclaps.
Flames, frost, and lightning intertwined on the battlefield, each attack containing earth-shattering power.
A red dragon lord spewed forth raging flames, instantly distorting the surrounding air and turning everything in its path into scorched earth.
The two White Bone Sect elders didn't even have time to react before they were burned to ashes by extremely high-level flames.
With all being of the Second Rank, the Dragon Race lords could basically crush the Human Race, because this was the Dragon Race ' domain, especially now that there were so many of them.
"!"
The Blue Dragon Lord exhaled an extremely cold breath, producing a piercing crackling sound, with water vapor swirling and mixing.
These Lord Level Dragon Race also understand battle formation coordination.
The sight of ice and fire terrified Bone Two. How come he hadn't realized before that these Lord Level were so powerful?
Why are you fighting so hard just because I hit you?
They had no choice but to fight desperately, because Zhao Xing had given them a death order.
In other words, if the Dragon Race who hear the Truth Decree do not kill the eight marked individuals...
They must be put to death!
So these Dragon Race lords all went crazy, unleashing their ultimate moves right away, using all sorts of innate secret techniques, and even costly secret methods that required them to unleash their full potential!
How could you possibly see this Dragon Training Lord, Bone Two, normally? Who would he train to risk their life for?
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The seven Second Rank elders had their physical bodies instantly destroyed.
Under such intense attacks, the Fate Soul did not last long before being obliterated by the distorted rules of heaven and earth.
Bone Two, though a pseudo-first-grade, was still considered a first-grade. He held on for ten more breaths and even fought a Thunder Dragon Lord before his skeleton was dismantled.
"Dragon King Bone Spike!"
"Divine Bone Soul Sacrifice!"
The instant he was destroyed, Bone Two also initiated a self-destruction.
At the same time, strands of golden marrow appeared on his body, entered his primordial soul, and transformed into a golden rainbow light, attempting to escape like Bone One.
"Rage!!"
The seven-headed Wrathful Soul Dragon, its eyes flashing with gray dragon shadows, quickly gave chase. The world ahead was distorted, and Bone Two was stopped once again.
"The Wrathful Soul Dragon actually launched the ' Heaven Soul Blood Sacrifice' —damn the officials of the Great Zhou!"
Bone Two hated Zhao Xing, that privileged dog, to the core.
"Heavenly Venerable, save me!" Thump!
These were his last words before he died.
This pseudo-first-class dragon was brutally beaten to death by the suddenly "rebellious" Dragon Race lords. At least Bone One managed to escape with his soul, but Gu Yi didn't even manage to escape with his soul.
With everything settled, only 48 of the original 50 Dragon Race lords remained.
"Ugh~"
The 48 Dragon Race lords obediently lined up and prostrated themselves at Zhao Xing's feet.
When Ji Mengjun, Tong Jin, Jiang Chuan, Xiao Huang, Ye Yukong, and Divine Luo King behind them saw this scene, they were also stunned.
"Old Luo, my Dragon Language isn't very good. Could you translate for me what Zhao Xing just said?"
"What are they saying now?" Ye Yukong looked at the Divine Luo King beside him.
The Divine Luo King's gaze was also somewhat dazed. "Just now, Zhao Xing called himself the Great Dragon King and talked about ' Divine Court ' and 'True Decree,' and then these Dragon Race lords listened to him and killed the people of the White Bone Sect."
"This access can be used across borders?" Jiang Chuan was confused but greatly shocked. "Aren't these all Dragon Race lords from the Ancient Thunder Kingdom?"
"You're asking me? Who should I ask?" Xiao Huang pinched the flute, then looked at Ji Mengjun, the second-in-command of the palace.
Tong Jin was the same. If anyone could understand this scene, it would probably be Ji Mengjun, because her Dragon Language level and understanding of Dragon Race civilization were the deepest among them.
"Don't look at me." Ji Mengjun's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light. "I don't understand either, but those Dragon Race lords were indeed paying homage to the ' Great Dragon King.' The word you heard, Divine Luo King, is accurate."
Of course, they had never heard of the Dragon Emperor Codex and the Dragon-Clan Golden Script. They were originally supposed to be born during the reign of Wu Emperor, when the Dragon King Yin Xiu was in power. It was only then that Yin Xiu conquered the nine kingdoms and sought to unify them, and that they became widely known.
They can no longer understand the contents of the two laws, nor do they comprehend the power of the rules they contain, because they are not true Dragon Race.
For Human Race to understand and comprehend it, they would probably need to be at the level of a King Grade Bai Yunwu.
And including Bai Yunwu, the Great Zhou only has four Dragon Kings!
"Phew~"
Zhao Xing swallowed the legal code again and transformed into human form.
The 48 Dragon Race lords remained obediently waiting in place.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on here—."
"Gentlemen, we'll talk on the way," Zhao Xing said. "Let's get out of here first."
Purple Bone Celestial Venerable and Red Bone Celestial Venerable are truly first-rank beings. Those who are given the title of Celestial Venerable are not simple characters. Bone One and Bone Two cannot be compared with them at all.
Zhao Xing has only just mastered the Codex and is not yet confident that he can quickly kill two Heavenly Venerables.
There's no need to waste time.
"Take it!" Zhao Xing took away the enemy's dragon ship and the Dragon King Battle Token.
After a few quick movements, everyone boarded the ship and led the 48 Dragon Race lords away from the Ascension Dragon Platform.
Ascension Dragon Platform, the location of the White Bone Sect.
After Zhao Xing and the others left, Bone One's soul also escaped back.
"Hmm?" Purple Bone Celestial Venerable frowned. "Bone One, what's going on?"
"Heavenly Venerable One, something terrible has happened!"
Bone One quickly told them everything that had just happened.
Both the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable and the Red Bone Celestial Venerable flew up.
When they heard that Bone One was forced to self-destruct, they didn't think anything of it.
Ji Mengjun is the sixth-ranked master Dancer Master in the imperial palace, and will undoubtedly become the leader of the Dancer Master in the future.
Bone One a weak rank one, so it's normal for him to get destroyed.
But when Bone One mentioned that Zhao Xing had come down from the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform and transformed into a five-clawed true dragon, and had inexplicably turned the Dragon Race lord of their Ancient Thunder Kingdom against them, the two Heavenly Venerables' expressions changed drastically.
"This... this is impossible! Could it really be the Ascension Dragon Platform related to the Dragon Emperor Jie, and that the Great Zhou has obtained some treasure?"
Faced with something they had never seen before, neither of the two celestial beings was willing to easily believe it.
If such a thing truly existed, it would drastically disrupt the current political landscape! The attempt to besiege the Great Zhou would become a joke!
"Go to the Ascension Dragon Platform immediately!" The Purple Bone Celestial Venerable and the Red Bone Celestial Venerable also stopped refining dragon heads.
The two used magic to quickly arrive at the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform.
But at this moment, the Ascension Dragon Platform has returned to its original state, and is completely inconspicuous.
After they climbed up, they used all the known methods, but found absolutely nothing.
The only certainty is that those Dragon Race lords did indeed flee with the powerful figures of the Great Zhou.
"This alliance's operation is in trouble!" The two Celestial Venerables, one purple and one red, exchanged a glance, both realizing what was going on.
"Heavenly Venerable, should we inform the royal court and the other sects about this matter?" Bone One asked.
"Tell me half of it," the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable pondered.
"Not bad," Red Bone Celestial Venerable agreed.
What does it mean to say only half of something?
It was simply to inform the royal court and allied forces, issuing a warning: the powerful figures of the Great Zhou might have obtained some kind of top-level authority and were related to the Dragon Emperor.
However, they concealed the fact that the Dragon Race lord had been transferred and made no mention of the battle.
In this way, the warning has been issued. If the siege operation in the Fire Hell Plains fails, the White Bone Sect cannot be blamed afterwards.
They are not the state religion in the Purple Dragon Royal Court, but merely a top-tier sect. The state religion is occupied by the Divine Sect. Even among other top-tier sects, there are the Four Saints Sect, Azure Sun Sect, Return to Origin Sect, and Corpse Puppet Sect sects.
If the encirclement and suppression fails, then the consequences must be considered. The Great Zhou is far away in the Central Plains and may not be able to compete with their White Bone Sect for profits, but these "allies" are neighbors. If the allies are weak, they will be stronger.
To allies? A calm, matter-of-fact statement will suffice. But internally? For example, to notify the "Seven Absolutes True Lord" in the Guting Royal City, a stern warning must be issued! This is the plan of the two Celestial Venerables.
The Guting Kingdom, in the land of the North Sea, is the sleeping palace of the Dragon King Yin Xiu.
"Your Majesty, Dragon King Yin Xiu, this is my tribute..."
The Crown Prince of the Great Serpent Country, "Grand Duke Fengxiu," was in the form of a serpent, crawling along the Dragon Crystal Avenue. He was conducting a tribute ceremony, which took a long time, and he had finally waited for the fourth exchange.
Everything was going smoothly.
But suddenly "Ooh~"
The dragon spirit of Dragon King Yin Xiu suddenly left the Dragon Crystal Throne, soared into the sky, and disappeared.
Grand Duke Fengxiu was momentarily at a loss.
Everything has been packed up, so why did Yin Xiu suddenly leave?
He waited there for a while and found that Dragon Crystal Avenue and the throne had collapsed.
It's clear they don't intend to come back.
"Damn it, you can't take this!"
Grand Duke Fengxiu left the North Sea Earth Dragon Palace, cursing and swearing.
Inside Yin Li's palace in the Guting Royal City.
The dragon spirit of Dragon King Yin Xiu suddenly appeared.
"Li, can you feel it?"
"Yes, Hugh."
A dragon spirit flew out from the throne, and two dragon spirits swam in mid-air.
"I sensed a call from the Dragon Court, as if a new Dragon King was being born."
"Li, you're wrong," Yin Xiu said. "It's not that a new Dragon King has been born, whose power surpasses that of King Grade, or even Great Dragon King."
Yin Li was clearly surprised. "Xiu, you mean—"
Yin Xiu nodded. "Yes, as the inheritor of the Eastern Emperor Golden Script, I sensed the power of the Dragon Emperor Golden Script. The Sin Sea and the Heaven Abyss also seem to be showing unusual activity."
"The Dragon Emperor Codex has appeared; we have mastered the codex."
"I felt the connection between him and me."
Yin Li fell silent; the news was so shocking that he couldn't speak.
However, his elder brother Yin Xiu was different from the other dragon kings.
He could only sense that a new Dragon King was about to be born, but as the inheritor of the Eastern Emperor Golden Script, Yin Xiu had greater talent and power, and knew more.
"We've waited for this moment for so many years."
"I will awaken ahead of schedule and head to the Dragon Court to follow in their footsteps and rebuild the Dragon Court."
"From this day forward, prepare for war. In particular, prepare to awaken the remaining ancient dragon kings."
Hearing her brother's words, Yin Li's dragon spirit surged. "Xiu, I'll go prepare right away."
Central Dragon Court, above the wild.
"What?! It can actually summon the Dragon King?!" Ye Yukong exclaimed in shock, "What kind of divine artifact is this? How can it have such an effect?!"
"The Dragon Emperor Codex," Zhao Xing said with a slight smile. "You can think of it as a combination of the Dragon Race's Imperial Seal, the Human Emperor Sword, and the Mountain and River Diagram."
"Hiss----"·
When Zhao Xing said this, everyone understood, but then they gasped in shock.
"Then wouldn't you be able to rule the entire Dragon Court Ancient Land?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Zhao Xing shook his head. "The Dragon Court Ancient Land has a profound foundation. This artifact is only a part of it. I only obtained the 'Imperial Seal of the State'."
That being said, it's sufficient for the current stage.
Why "at this stage"? Because the small-scale tidal wave during Wu Emperor's reign will also affect the Dragon Court Ancient Land. At that time, the ancient Dragon King (Great Dragon King) of the Dragon Court Ancient Land will have the conditions to awaken. At that time, relying solely on individual items will not be enough.
Of course, that's more than enough now.
The Dragon King possesses a divine artifact, making him a super-rank-one being. Zhao Xing doesn't need to awaken too many; just bringing over a couple of dragons with divine artifacts to assist him would be enough to sweep away the rest of the Human Race forces.
Currently, the highest level of authority for the Human Race, whether it's the Great Zhou or external enemies, is the King Grade. In slightly special cases, there might be a chance to invoke other Dragon Kings. However, such special cases are merely "invitations," not actual mobilizations.
Zhao Xing is now walking out of the Ascension Dragon Platform, intending to go to the teleportation array in the True Dragon Royal City to recruit people—no, recruit dragons—from all over the place!
"Divine Might Marquis, which Dragon King do you intend to summon?" Ji Mengjun asked.
The others also looked over curiously.
They were also very curious about this kind of access they had never seen before.
Zhao Xing was about to reveal his plans when his brow furrowed.
"Looks like I don't need to spend any more time looking for it."
"Dragon King Yin Xiu has arrived at the True Dragon Royal City."
