Yinglong's Favor, East King Duke Becomes a Dragon Rider!

Dragon Clan's Dragon Emperor, Ying Long!

The assembled great powers looked at Ying Long and East King Duke, their minds churning with unknown thoughts.

Ever since the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation ended, the Dragon Clan had been bound by the Heavenly Dao Shackles, even Ying Long's strength falling from Late Quasi-Saint to Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

For countless years, the Dragon Clan had suppressed the East Sea's spring eye.

Ying Long used Heavenly Dao Merit to wash away karmic sin, only then recovering her cultivation to Early-stage Quasi-Saint.

Apart from her, the Dragon Clan had no other Quasi-Saint great power.

"Immortal Emperor, this Ying Long's origin is extremely deep. Her body contains immeasurable Dragon Essence. If I were to do battle with her, I would only have a thirty percent chance of victory!"

Qiongqi transmitted his voice to East King Duke.

Although he had forged a Dragon Body through the Dragon Transformation Pool and refined the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, Ying Long still gave him immense pressure, as if the one before him could control his very bloodline origin.

In truth, Qiongqi did not know that Ying Long was the Ancestor Dragon's younger sister, the purest bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and also a mutant within the clan, wielding supreme divine abilities.

Though her realm had fallen, the power contained within her body had not disappeared.

With billions of years of accumulation, plus the legacy of the Ancestor Dragon and Candle Dragon, her foundation was no weaker than the Innate Deities present.

"You need not tell Me. This Emperor can already sense the Time Law aura on Ying Long. She must have obtained Candle Dragon's inheritance. Her true combat strength far exceeds Early-stage Quasi-Saint!"

East King Duke said slowly.

Candle Dragon opened his eyes to bring day, closed them to bring night. During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, he had already cultivated the Time Law to perfection, reaching Quasi-Saint Peak.

Then, stepping on an Auspicious Cloud, he walked toward Ying Long.

His posture was upright, his chest broad, a scorching aura sweeping forth. Ying Long felt the Dao Resonance around East King Duke, her breath halting in that moment, her heart trembling.

"Greetings, Dragon Emperor. However, Qiongqi is a Postnatal Divine Dragon, whose Dragon Body This Emperor forcibly shaped through the Dragon Transformation Pool. Moreover, he is not bound by the Heavenly Dao Shackles, so he cannot be considered a member of the Dragon Clan."

"If This Emperor did not take Qiongqi as a mount, would I have to harness you, fellow Daoist?"

East King Duke and Ying Long locked eyes, their faces nearly touching.

A pair of phoenix peach-blossom eyes, two curved willow-leaf brows.

Her beauty was enchanting, her figure flawless.

The aura of a supreme ruler stirred a desire for conquest within East King Duke, making him want only to become a Dragon Knight and enjoy the pleasures of the flesh with Ying Long.

"Would you dare?"

Dragon Emperor Ying Long extended her jade hand, stroking East King Duke's chest.

Through the Daoist robe, he felt the chill of her fingertips.

Dragon Emperor Ying Long was no simple being!

"If the opportunity arises, This Emperor would naturally wish to Discuss the Dao with the Dragon Emperor. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Shackles on the Dragon Emperor, I can purify them with the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud and Heavenly Dao Merit—but it depends on what you think."

"This is the Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Pool. Consider it a meeting gift from This Emperor to the Dragon Emperor!"

East King Duke's mana stirred slightly, and he struck the Dragon Transformation Pool into the East Sea. Instantly, many Dragon Clan members guarded it, their wary eyes scanning the surroundings, afraid this supreme treasure might vanish.

Qiongqi had already absorbed all the Dragon Essence from the Dragon Transformation Pool, so this Dragon Clan's Supreme Treasure was useless to East King Duke. Instead, Ying Long had sparked his deep interest.

In traditional myths, Ying Long was the Dao Companion of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but now it seemed he had likely stolen her away.

"If you truly have a way, then This Emperor has nothing to repay you with—it seems I can only offer myself."

"Immortal Emperor, you are quite impressive. This Emperor likes you very much!"

Ying Long said lightly, her seductive voice dripping with charm.

Unfortunately, only East King Duke could enjoy this temptation.

Withdrawing her jade hand, Ying Long went to the Dragon Transformation Pool and stored it within her Primordial Spirit.

Every move she made radiated the majesty of the Dragon Emperor.

And even a hint of tsundere!

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.

Across the entire East Sea, countless strange phenomena arose. Chaotic spiritual energy burst forth, and Penglai Immortal Island resonated with Yingzhou Island and Fangzhang Island within the chaotic qi.

Rays of light filled the sky, purple qi surged.

Within the clouds of spiritual energy, Yingzhou Island and Fangzhang Island fully revealed themselves. Countless spirit beasts roamed there, rare flowers and immortal herbs shimmered with faint golden light—they were top-tier Immortal's Blessed Lands.

"These two immortal islands are no less than Penglai Immortal Island. If our Demon Race could claim them, then the Heavenly Emperor would gain even more Heavenly Dao Destiny."

"Why not summon our Demon Race army and seize these two sacred lands?"

Demon Saint Ji Meng said to Dijun, his face showing endless greed.

With a human body and Dragon Head, his appearance was quite imposing. In his hand was a three-pronged sea-stirring steel trident, and his dragon-scale armor gleamed with cold light, his aura extremely violent.

Among the ten great Demon Saints, his status was second only to Bai Ze.

Hearing this, Dijun's expression shifted slightly. He then looked at the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi, and the other Quasi-Saint great powers, and ultimately set the thought aside.

The Demon Race was not yet strong enough, and their army remained within the Thirty-three Heavens. Now that Yingzhou Island and Penglai Island had emerged, there was no time to spare.

"Why does This Emperor feel a faint tremor in his heart, as if some mysterious existence dwells upon those immortal islands, its aura loathed by the Heavenly Dao, utterly vile?"

East King Duke furrowed his brow slightly. This was the first time he had sensed such a premonition.

Seeing this, he did not make the first move but instead waited for the surrounding Innate Deities to act. If those immortal islands harbored strange prohibitions, he could still respond in advance.

Penglai Immortal Island, Yingzhou Island, and Fangzhang Island—together they formed the supreme Immortal's Blessed Land.

The various great powers present could explore and seek treasures, but if they wished to claim the remaining two immortal islands, that depended on whether East King Duke would allow it.

While East King Duke observed, some Innate Deities lost patience and charged straight toward Yingzhou Island and Fangzhang Island, as if they could obtain supreme fortune in the next moment.

But in an instant, chaotic gale winds raged, and their violent power annihilated them.

A few with deep fortune, however, managed to enter the smallest island, Fangzhang Island. Seeing this, the rest surged forward one after another, ascending the immortal islands to seek treasures.

"Has the Immortal Emperor seen through the trick?"

"Why not join This Emperor in action? That way, we can look out for each other!"

Yinglong came to East King Duke's side. The Dragon Clan members behind her had already withdrawn, having obtained the Dragon Transformation Pool—this journey was already satisfying enough.

Though the Dragon Clan wished to claim Yingzhou Island and Fangzhang Island, their strength was insufficient to do so.

Gazing at East King Duke, Yinglong exuded boundless charm. Her restless little hand, without seeking his consent, slid across his chest and neck, teasing the man before her.

"This Emperor's dojo is one of the Three Immortal Islands—Penglai Immortal Island. The three islands connect to the Chaotic Space, forming a Three Talents Formation in the unseen."

"Heaven, Earth, and Man—this is the Chaotic Three Talents Formation. However, Fangzhang Island's connection to the Chaotic Space has been severed for some reason, allowing the Innate Deities to land!"

"Deep within Fangzhang Island lies the core formation eye. By passing through the Space Gate, one can enter Yingzhou Island. As for Penglai Immortal Island, it is This Emperor's dojo—no one can enter it!"

A divine light flashed in East King Duke's eyes.

On Penglai Immortal Island grew the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum, while the Chaotic spiritual energy on Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island was even denser, suggesting that supreme treasures had been born there.

Penglai Immortal Island corresponded to Heaven, Yingzhou Island to Earth, and Fangzhang Island to Man.

Interlocked in a cycle, they were difficult to breach from the outside.

"Let's go!"

Yinglong channeled her mana and moved with East King Duke toward Fangzhang Island.

A faint Mysterious Light flickered, and the two appeared within Fangzhang Island.

As for his mount, Qiongqi, he had struck up a mutual admiration with Qiangliang of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. East King Duke had sent them off to debate the Thunder Law.

"The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus!"

"Such a supreme treasure is fated for my Demon Race. Fellow Daoists, you should take your leave!"

Following the voice, East King Duke and Yinglong descended into the crowd.

There, Dijun and his group were locked in a standoff with the Three Pure Ones. The supreme auras of both sides surged.

In a pond the size of a square palm, a white lotus radiated endless Mysterious Light, exuding boundless purifying power, drawing everyone's attention.

Within the pond, the spiritual energy was extremely dense.

Upon careful examination, it turned out to be the Three Lights Divine Water.

Sunlight Divine Water wore away blood essence, flesh, and bones; Moonlight Divine Water corroded the Primordial Spirit and soul; Starlight Divine Water dissolved the True Spirit and consciousness.

But when the three waters merged, they became a holy remedy for healing, capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones.

In critical moments, even if a Saint were injured, the endless creative power within the Three Lights Divine Water could restore their wounds—an incredibly heaven-defying spiritual water.

"The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus is fated for This Poor Daoist. Fellow Daoist Dijun, you should withdraw, or else my Heaven and Earth Mysterious Exquisite Pagoda will suppress your Demon Race!"

"Yuanshi, go retrieve the treasure!"

Old Master Taiqing directly unleashed the Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, his Mid-stage Quasi-Saint mana terrifyingly powerful, sweeping toward Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

A great battle was about to erupt!
