The Dragon-Slaying Platform lay deep within the Barren Sea, guarded by powerful Golden Immortals personally leading celestial armies from the four celestial courts.
Whenever the Dragon-Seizing Pill Assembly was held, it was at its liveliest. Besides the four celestial armies originally stationed to guard the Dragon-Slaying Platform, elite celestial armies from the four celestial courts had now converged here before the assembly began. Their warships gathered in such numbers that they seemed capable of blotting out the sky and sun.
As they made their way toward the Barren Sea, the celestial armies gradually gathering from each side had already exceeded a hundred thousand troops.
Even Lu Xiaotian, who had witnessed grand scenes in the dragon clan's secret realm, was deeply shaken when he saw the armies of the four celestial courts converge. The Yu Xuan Celestial Court alone had three Golden Immortal-level experts: Venerable Xuanhu, Xue Changhen, and Changsun Kongji, who had originally been responsible for guarding this place.
The other three celestial courts were in no way inferior in their lineups. There were already twelve Golden Immortal-level experts visible before them—or more precisely, thirteen. Lu Xiaotian saw several familiar faces on the Honghao Celestial Court's side. Yihua Daoist had appeared as a fourth-grade Pill Sage, but no one could ignore the fact that his own cultivation had long since reached the Golden Immortal level.
After all these years, Yihua Daoist's aura had grown even more profound and weighty to Lu Xiaotian, seeming several notches stronger than that of Venerable Xuanhu and the like. However, experts at this level could not be easily judged. Without actually exchanging blows, Lu Xiaotian could not determine his opponent's precise strength.
Compared with the Golden Immortal-level experts, there were actually even more Pill Sages directly participating in or observing this grand Dragon-Seizing Pill Assembly.
