Thunderous Tyrant Dragon, Defying Fate!

Time flows.

Within the void, the ominous karma coiled around the Fierce Beast Qiongxiu's Primordial Spirit was swiftly cleansed and scattered under the baptism of the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud.

At this moment, he felt his spiritual platform clear and bright, drawing ever closer to the Heavenly Dao Rules.

During the Fierce Beast Calamity era, the Fierce Beast Clan reveled in slaughter, devouring the flesh, blood, and souls of living beings to enhance their cultivation. The Fierce Beast Qiongxiu, in particular, had amassed endless slaughter and boundless karma.

Such killing was intolerable to the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

Thus, no matter how the Fierce Beast Qiongxiu cultivated, his cultivation could at most match the level of the Fierce Beast Calamity era, unable to break the shackles and attain the Quasi-Saint realm.

Now that East King Duke had erased the Karmic Tribulation Qi from his body, he could henceforth comprehend the Dao's creation, roam the peaks of the Great Void, and wander freely through the starry chaos.

"As expected of a supreme Dao treasure! The Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud's ability to wash away karma is likely even more formidable than Old Ancestor Minghe's Twelve-Petal Karmic Fire Red Lotus!"

"With such a supreme treasure, one becomes immune to all laws and imperishable through all calamities. As long as East King Duke does not touch the very foundation of the Heavenly Dao or incur karmic consequences from the Great Dao, his path of cultivation will be free of disaster and hardship!"

"Truly astonishing!"

Fuxi stroked his chin, his voice echoing among the crowd.

When Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw the effects of the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud, they cursed inwardly, blaming Dao Ancestor Hongjun for granting this supreme treasure to East King Duke.

The Heavenly Dao is unjust!

Just as the crowd was marveling, East King Duke made his move again.

"Dragon Transformation Pool, emerge!"

"Qiongxiu, use this Ancestor Dragon Pearl as your foundation, and the Dragon Essence of countless dragons within the Dragon Transformation Pool as your energy. Reshape your body, transform into a Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, and shed your Fierce Beast roots!"

"You have endured the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire for millions of years and have long comprehended the Thunder Law. If you can achieve initial mastery of the Thunder Law within the Dragon Transformation Pool, you will leap over the dragon gate and defy your fate!"

East King Duke waved his right hand, and the billion-mile Dragon Transformation Pool appeared upon the land of Buzhou Mountain.

Instantly, countless divine dragons soared through the sky—the lingering souls of fallen dragons—while golden Dragon Essence boiled within the pool.

At the same time, a crimson-gold Dragon Pearl was driven by East King Duke into Qiongxiu's Primordial Spirit. The latter plummeted from the sky and sank into the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Gurgle, gurgle!

In an instant, the Dragon Transformation Pool churned like molten magma, its ultimate Dao resonance leaving the Three Pure Ones and others filled with envy.

"Qiongxiu has obtained boundless fortune this time. The Dragon Essence in the pool is enough to create an existence comparable to the Ancestor Dragon. Coupled with Qiongxiu refining the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, his potential is incalculable."

"Even I cannot help but envy Qiongxiu. After all, when we Three Pure Ones were born, our Primordial Spirits were strong and flawless, but our physical bodies were slightly inferior to the Twelve Ancestral Witches and a few fellow Daoists present here!"

Old Master Taiqing let out a long sigh.

How could Qiongxiu, merely a mount, enjoy such fortune?

Beside him, Yuanshi and Tongtian strongly agreed with his words. As the orthodox descendants of Pangu, they seemed to be faring worse than Qiongxiu.

The orthodox lineage of Pangu suddenly lost its appeal!

Time flies, fleeting like a white horse passing a gap.

On the cliff, the Chaos Gourd Vine surged with Innate Spiritual Qi. The Innate Restrictions of the seven gourds gradually perfected, as if they were nearing maturity.

On the earth, the billion-mile Dragon Transformation Pool manifested extraordinary phenomena. The Dragon Essence within the pool was visibly devoured by Qiongxiu, while the Dark Gold Giant Egg at its center emitted thunderous heartbeats.

Within the Dark Gold Giant Egg, Qiongxiu was being nurtured.

Bolts of Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, as if responding to a call, descended from the Outer Heaven Chaos, striking the Dark Gold Giant Egg without harming it in the slightest.

Instead, the myriad bolts of thunder were absorbed by Qiongxiu. The Dark Gold Giant Egg manifested Thunder Divine Patterns, dazzling brilliantly under the sunlight.

"Big brother, if Qiongxiu truly reshapes his body, his cultivation might surpass even the two of us. Even with my Chaos Bell, I may not be able to contend with him!"

"Why don't we seize the Dark Gold Giant Egg, roast it with Sun Divine Fire, and perhaps refine it into an external incarnation no weaker than the original?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's crimson-gold pupils sharpened as a murderous intent stirred within him.

East King Duke was already immensely powerful. If Qiongxiu grew stronger as well, the entire Demon Race would have no way to deal with him.

Upon hearing this!

Dijun shook his head, unwilling but helpless.

"Taiyi, do not act rashly. East King Duke is at his peak and not someone you or I can afford to offend!"

"Now the Three Pure Ones are also on good terms with East King Duke. Moreover, the Dao Ancestor regards him as the inheritor of the Immortal Dao Law. If we strike recklessly now, we will offend many top-tier Innate Deities."

"Although East King Duke has not been officially appointed as the Head of Male Immortals, his foundation and influence already make him the foremost figure in the Primordial World. Our Demon Race must tread carefully!"

Dijun closed his eyes in resignation.

He was naturally aware of the threat posed by East King Duke and Qiongxiu, but the Demon Race's strength was too weak to contend with them.

Only if Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi attained the Quasi-Saint realm would they have the confidence to dominate the Primordial World and look down upon all others.

"Boom, rumble!"

"Crack!"

Just as the mighty beings were immersed in the dragon's might, a vast, resounding boom echoed through Buzhou Mountain.

The dark gold giant egg shattered.

The eggshell turned into streams of qi, absorbed into Qiongqi's body.

As the golden light faded, countless visions enveloped Qiongqi, and a lightning dragon spanning billions of zhang soared out from the Dragon Transformation Pool, suspended amidst the clouds.

Its scales were dark gold, lightning divine patterns flickered across them, its body was formidable, and its dragon horns were majestic.

Its enormous dragon head looked down upon all things, and its overwhelming dragon might spread out, causing all beings in the Primordial World to grow uneasy, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Especially the descendants of the Dragon Race; the aura contained within their bloodline forced them to prostrate themselves on the ground, submitting in the direction of Buzhou Mountain.

Even the abyss of the Eastern Sea trembled because of Qiongqi's emergence.

Since the end of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Dragon Race had suppressed the Eastern Sea's spring. For countless years, aside from the visions accompanying the East King Duke's transformation, nothing had ever stirred the Dragon Race.

But now, a dragon might comparable to the Ancestor Dragon had appeared, forcing the Dragon Race to take it seriously.

Within the grand hall, resplendent and magnificent.

Dragon Emperor Ying Long frowned slightly, gazing towards Buzhou Mountain, a storm of shock surging in his heart.

"It's actually the aura of the Ancestor Dragon, and our Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Pool—how could it reappear after disappearing for countless years?"

He was utterly perplexed!

At the end of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and First Kirin had fought in a chaotic melee, ultimately vanishing without a trace in the explosion, leaving only mottled bloodstains as a symbol of their fall.

The First Kirin had fallen for certain; at that time, his corpse transformed into Qilin Cliff, shielding the remaining Kirin Clan as they fled into the Chaos.

As for the Primordial Phoenix and the Ancestor Dragon, their whereabouts were unknown. Even Dragon Emperor Ying Long did not know.

For countless years, the Dragon Race had searched for the whereabouts of the two, but they could never find any clues, and Dragon Emperor Ying Long was not convinced that the Ancestor Dragon and Primordial Phoenix had fallen.

This was because both possessed boundless divine abilities and tenacious life force.

The Ancestor Dragon was born from the meridians of the Great God Pangu. At his peak, whether in attack or defense, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Ancestor Luohu had to be wary of him.

Although the Primordial Phoenix was not as domineering as the Ancestor Dragon, her divine ability of Nirvana Rebirth seemed never to have been displayed before the beings of the Primordial Era, and even members of the Phoenix Race had never witnessed it.

It seemed that all these strange signs revealed a message: the Ancestor Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix had not fallen.

"Forget it. Once This Emperor recovers his Quasi-Saint cultivation, I will go to the Primordial Continent to investigate!"

"The Heavenly Dao Shackles, Karmic Retribution... when will this ever end!"

The blood-red armor on Dragon Emperor Ying Long's body clanked. Her full chest and long, slender legs shimmered with divine light; she was truly a peerless beauty.

Compared to the West Queen Mother, Dragon Emperor Ying Long's bearing carried an additional air of sovereign authority, seemingly more capable of arousing a desire for conquest.

Buzhou Mountain.

Qiongqi revealed his form, leaving the assembled mighty beings dumbfounded.

The Dragon Race was already an existence of unmatched ferocity, and now that Qiongqi had transformed into a divine dragon, he was a ruthless weapon, far surpassing everyone in both defense and attack.

In terms of physical defense, Qiongqi was now no weaker than a Primordial Witch.

Not to mention his sharp dragon claws, which seemed capable of tearing apart the very origin of space in an instant, evolving into Chaotic Turbulence.

"Qiongqi thanks the Immortal Emperor for the grace of creation!"

"From this day forward, I shall be the blade in the Immortal Emperor's hand, slaying all powerful enemies for my master, with no trace of rebellious intent. If I violate this oath, may I fall into eternal damnation!"

Qiongqi knelt before the East King Duke, his Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation intimidating all living beings. His icy dragon scales, wreathed in ten thousand zhang of lightning, made him even more majestic and imposing.

"From now on, you are no longer the Fierce Beast Qiongqi, but the Thunderous Tyrant Dragon!"

The East King Duke soared into the air, landing atop Qiongqi's dragon body.

He stood with his hands behind his back, speaking softly.

His tone was filled with boundless pride, the Immortal Dao Law ethereal and vast.
