Forerunner to a King

Liu Xuan, upon hearing this, remained unperturbed. He smiled faintly and, instead of answering the white-robed dragon's question, said:

"Fellow Daoist, having experienced countless calamities, you should know the cruelty of such catastrophes."

"Let alone Great Luo Dao Lord, even Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate might not be able to survive the great calamity."

" Those with Great Divine Ability User, unless they have something to ask for, all of them keep their mountain gates tightly shut and quietly recite two or three volumes of the Yellow Court Classic."

"Why did you place your bets here in the Rulong Clan?"

At this point, Liu Xuan chuckled, his expression carrying a strange undertone:

"If we've boarded the right ship, I won't say anything more."

"But the dragons chose a giant ship that was about to sink!"

"Fellow Daoist, do you think your dragon clan can withstand a few more setbacks?"

If this continues, even this last remaining foundation will likely be exhausted.

"Fellow Daoist, please refrain from speaking nonsense."

"The Celestial Dao Ancestor of the Purple Mansion Continent is the Head of Male Immortals bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, and he wields the [Golden Book]."

"He has the protection of ten thousand immortals."

"Furthermore, we have the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] as our reliance."

Even the Demon Clan Heavenly Court had to give way.

"This is a hidden dragon in the abyss, not a sunken ship in the sea."

The dragon lord in green robes said calmly.

Although his tone was gentle, the warning in it was quite clear.

"[The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation]?"

Liu Xuan shook his head slightly:

"Although this formation is extremely powerful..."

"But as far as I know, some of the Demon Clan have also cultivated for a time."

"That formation is also incredibly powerful, comparable to the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation]."

What?

Upon hearing this news, the five Old Dragon Lords' brows twitched, and a sudden tremor ran through their hearts.

They had also learned that the Demon Clan was studying formations, intending to use formations to counter formations.

But could a formation of the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] level be deduced in a mere tens of thousands of years?

It should be noted that the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] in the Purple Mansion Continent is based on their Dragon Clan's [Ten Thousand Dragon Formation], and is a modified version.

The [Ten Thousand Dragon Formation] was a grand formation developed by the Dragon Clan at its peak, after dozens of eons of joint study by many sacred beings within the clan.

"Fellow Daoist, is what you say true?"

The old dragon in red robes was quick-tempered and extremely impatient.

When he spoke at this moment, his tone already carried a hint of anxiety.

Liu Xuan:

"Such a thing could not possibly be false."

"Besides."

"The next time the Demon Clan army will besiege Purple Mansion Continent."

"Fellow Daoists will naturally be able to witness the splendor of that immortal formation."

But back then...

It's best to avoid regrets.

He spoke with absolute certainty.

The two old dragons on opposite sides exchanged a glance, both seeing unease in each other's eyes.

"If that's the case..."

Is Purple Mansion Continent about to fall into ruin?

The Yellow-Robed Dragon King murmured to himself.

The reason why the Dao Court of the Purple Mansion Continent was able to defeat the Demon Clan Heavenly Court was because of the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation]. If the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] were suppressed, how could the East King Duke possibly defeat the Demon Clan Heavenly Court?

"But how could this be?"

"Clearly, clearly the East King Duke's fortune is flourishing, and he is also blessed by the fortune of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path."

"How could we be defeated? How could we possibly be defeated?"

Just then, he suddenly heard a soft sigh:

"I'm nothing more than a vanguard for the king!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, causing the hearts of the five Old Dragon Lords to surge and churn.

To be the king's vanguard?

Before the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation, the Primordial Divine Race ruled the Primordial World.

At the beginning of the Great Tribulation, the Primordial Three Clans also believed that they were the Heaven and Earth's Protagonist, the races destined by Mandate of Heaven, and capable of controlling the rise and fall of the Primordial World.

But in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Court collapsed, the Undying Volcano fell silent forever, Qilin Cliff broke apart.

The three races, burdened with their Karmic Debt, sank into the twilight of antiquity.

Only at this point did the true protagonist of the Dragon-Han Crimson Bright Tribulation officially step onto the stage of the Primordial World era.

That is the Tao and the Demon.

Ultimately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun Opened the Dao in Purple Firmament, becoming the source of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path, merging with the Primordial World Heavenly Dao, becoming the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Daos, and the biggest winner of the previous era.

'Our dragon race served as the vanguard of the king during the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation.'

'Then who is the greatest winner in this era, in this great calamity?'

'If the East King Duke is the predecessor of the king, then is this king Demon Clan, Witch Clan, or someone else entirely?'

A chill suddenly rose in the hearts of these five ancient dragons who had survived since the Archaic Era, and their feelings became extremely complicated.

"Five patriarchs, this is Ao Guang's fault!"

The Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, suddenly knelt on the ground, beads of cold sweat seeping from his forehead, unable to even stand up straight.

Before they went into seclusion, Candle Dragon and the Dragon Mother clearly instructed him to feign submission to the Purple Mansion Continent, Obey Orders, Not Edicts. Even if the Dao Court were destroyed, with the Four Seas as their support, they could withdraw in time and turn to others.

But Ao Guang saw that Purple Mansion Continent was prosperous and had the endorsement of the Dao Ancestor.

He then conceived the idea of using the power of the Purple Mansion Continent to gain merit and good fortune.

In short, Ao Guang went all in.

He even contributed the Dragon Clan's most treasured [Ten Thousand Dragon Formation] to the East King Duke.

If Purple Mansion Continent gains power and reaches the pinnacle in this era, the Dragon Clan will naturally reap rich rewards and may even become the ruler of the Primordial World Water Essence once again.

But...

After Liu Xuan's deduction, isn't Purple Mansion Continent doomed?

The dragon race...

Thinking of this, Ao Guang felt dizzy and wished he could pick up his magic sword and slit his throat right then and there to end it all.

Seeing his expression, the old dragon in red robes felt a flicker of disappointment in his eyes and scolded him:

"Ao Guang, as the head of your clan, what kind of behavior is this?"

"The sky won't fall!"

Having said that, he ignored the East Sea Dragon King was standing there, utterly dejected.

This matter was decided by the will of the entire dragon race, so how can it be blamed on Ao Guang alone?

The Old Dragon Lord took a deep breath, looked at Liu Xuan, and said in a deep voice:

Even if the East King Duke is the king's vanguard.

"Our dragon race can still convert to the Demon Clan."

Liu Xuan said calmly:

"Fellow Daoist, do you dare?"

"Do the dragons dare?"

The five old dragons' eyelids twitched.

Dare you?

They dare not!

Since the East King Duke was a former king, how could he know that the Demon Clan was not a former king?

One all-in bet completely devastated the dragon race.

If you choose the wrong team several times in a row.

And what about the consequences...?

Just thinking about that outcome sent chills down the spines of the five Old Dragon Lords.

Moreover, they provide the [Ten Thousand Dragon Formation] to the Purple Mansion Continent, in case the Demon Clan and Purple Mansion Continent truly engage in a great war.

This formation will be stained with the blood of many Demon Clan.

In that case, even if they switch allegiance to the Demon Clan, what price would they have to pay?

Seeing that the old dragon on the other side remained silent.

Liu Xuan waved his sleeves and laughed:

"Since you, fellow Daoist, are looking for a powerful backer..."

"Why not consider my Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage?"

"My master wishes to attain the position of the Water Element Black Emperor."

"If the Dragon Clan were to bring the Water Essence to Wuyi Mountain, their contribution would be immeasurable!"

The true intentions are revealed when the map is unrolled.

Liu Xuan finally revealed his ultimate goal.

Even if Purple Mansion Continent perishes.

"My master can also protect the entire Rulong clan."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed old dragon's face turned cold, and he coldly asserted:

"Absolutely impossible!"

The position of the Water Element Black Emperor is a legacy of His Ancestor Dragon.

Taiyuanzi's desire to become the Water Element Black Emperor and rule over the Authority of Water Element of the Primordial World is nothing short of wishful thinking!
