The One Who Had Fallen Here Was Actually the Mountain Dragon King

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid: "...I'm afraid you'll capsize in a ditch, get caught by them, and drag me down with you."

"Relax."

As Duan Yu looked over the other eight mountains, he said, "With you here, I won't die."

"I thought about it all night yesterday, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't understand why the other mountains had to be blown apart to retrieve the Dragon Bone Fragments, while True Dragon Mountain didn't."

"Until now, I finally figured it out."

"Kid, don't tell me you're going to..."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid stared at Duan Yu in disbelief. "You're planning to make a move on True Dragon Mountain?!"

"Relax. I won't blow up the mountain this time. If I'm careful, Yu Yuanzhen shouldn't notice me."

"Bro, I really don't have time to fool around with you!"

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid looked at him in despair. "You're on someone else's turf right now. Can't we just behave ourselves and keep a low profile?!"

Duan Yu smiled. "I'm afraid that won't work. The word 'honest' isn't in my dictionary."

Duan Yu looked at the towering mountains, a chill flashing through his eyes.

"These Dragon Bone Fragments are fated to be mine. They should belong to me."

"Give me a break."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid shot him a sidelong glance and said disdainfully, "Anything you so much as glance at suddenly becomes fated to be yours."

"..."

Duan Yu glared at the grass that was undermining him and ground his teeth. "Little Leaf, I advise you to watch your mouth. Otherwise, I'll pluck every last one of your leaves and turn you into a bald weed."

Upon hearing that, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid swallowed the mockery that had been on her lips. She looked at Duan Yu, clenched her teeth, and said, "That's a naked threat."

"Oh, so what?"

Duan Yu replied blandly.

He was just that kind of villain. Being a decent person was exhausting; being a scoundrel was far more carefree.

Another night passed.

After night fell, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect did not sink into silence as usual.

After last night's incident with the intruder, everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was on edge, terrified that they might do something at this time that would provoke Yu Yuanzhen.

With Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid's help, Duan Yu quietly infiltrated True Dragon Mountain alone.

Yes, he did it as soon as he said he would.

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid had originally thought Duan Yu was merely talking big. It was not until she followed him all the way here that she realized the kid truly intended to make a move against True Dragon Mountain.

This was beyond a newborn calf unafraid of tigers. He simply did not take Yu Yuanzhen seriously at all.

"Kid, stop sneaking around. Yu Yuanzhen isn't here."

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid reminded the furtive figure, "There's no Title Douluo aura on this mountain. Yu Yuanzhen may have gone to another peak."

"He isn't here?"

Duan Yu froze upon hearing that. After sensing the spatial fluctuations, he indeed could not detect Yu Yuanzhen's aura.

Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen was absent, Duan Yu simply stopped sneaking around.

After merging himself with the surrounding space, he strode right in without any attempt at concealment and arrived at True Dragon Mountain.

What he had not expected was that a red-haired woman in red robes was sitting on the throne atop True Dragon Mountain.

Judging by the way she sat, the red-haired woman did not possess much elegance.

The moment he saw that red-haired figure, Duan Yu recognized her as Liu Erlong, Yu Yuanzhen's niece who was infatuated with Yu Xiaogang.

"Kid, should we make a move?"

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid asked, "Yu Yuanzhen has gone out and probably won't return so soon. I can conceal the space around her."

"Hurry and look for the Dragon Bone Fragment. Remember, don't blow up the mountain if you can avoid it. If you really have to blow it up, tell me in advance."

Duan Yu did not even need to remind her. Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid could tell at a glance that the woman before them was merely a Soul Saint, nowhere near Yu Yuanzhen's level.

"Alright."

Duan Yu nodded and stepped forward, fully releasing his martial soul in an attempt to see whether he could establish a connection with the Dragon Bone Fragment.

Just as he had guessed, True Dragon Mountain, as the foremost of the nine mountains, was indeed different from the other peaks. It actually possessed a trace of spirituality?!

Seeing that True Dragon Mountain possessed spirituality, Duan Yu shouted, "Little Leaf, conceal the space properly. Don't let the energy leak out."

As soon as he spoke, before Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid could respond, a silver-gray giant dragon appeared behind Duan Yu.

Duan Yu's second martial soul—the Time Dragon King.

At the same time, three black ten-thousand-year soul rings pulsed behind him.

The third ten-thousand-year soul ring lit up, and silver-gray radiance began to flicker.

The Time Dragon King's third soul skill: Time Retrospection.

In the void, a clock face hung suspended in the air. The phantom of the Time Dragon King flew around it, causing its hands to slowly turn.

The retrospection soul skill bestowed by the fifty-thousand-year soul beast, the Time Crocodile, could trace the origins of people and objects and revisit their history.

After sensing that True Dragon Mountain contained a trace of spirituality, Duan Yu had released the Time Dragon King martial soul without hesitation.

He wanted to use the power of time to trace back this True Dragon Mountain and determine exactly which Dragon King had fallen here.

As the clock face gradually took shape, silver light rose from Duan Yu's body. Before long, it became a pillar of light shooting into the heavens.

In what seemed like an instant, his entire body was swallowed by the silver light, vanishing without a trace.

"?"

Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid's pupils contracted when she noticed Duan Yu disappear. She stared in disbelief at the place where he had vanished.

Calming herself, she waved her seven leaves, trying to sense Duan Yu's movements.

After sensing for a long while...

"Damn! Where did this kid go? Why did he suddenly vanish? Don't tell me he ran off on his own."

Seeing Duan Yu disappear, Seven-Leaf Spatial Orchid suddenly lost confidence.

If she had not been afraid that Duan Yu might suddenly return after she left, without her cover, and end up staring wide-eyed at Yu Yuanzhen and the others, she would have wanted to run away herself.

Elsewhere, silver light swirled.

Since it was his first time using this third soul skill, Duan Yu was still somewhat unfamiliar with it.

When his consciousness finally cleared again, he found himself in a silver world.

It was a wondrous space. Everything around him seemed to be formed from layer upon layer of overlapping space.

These spaces resembled fragments, yet also independent planes. When they merged and touched one another, all kinds of changes occurred.

As a master of space, he naturally knew that space was the most profound existence in the world, second only to time.

In a sense, every plane and world was composed of space and time, from the vast universe to a speck of dust.

The wondrous space before him gave him a peculiar feeling. This place had been formed by the two powers of time and space.

Although space changed in countless ways and time was impossible to grasp, and though their combination could produce immense effects, each still had its own unique laws.

The space here operated according to those specific laws and was exceptionally stable. Time, meanwhile, was hidden within this space.

But hadn't he used Time Retrospection? Why had he been brought to a place filled with space?

Could the one who had fallen at True Dragon Mountain have been the Spatial Dragon King?!

Before he could think further, the wondrous and stable space before him suddenly shattered. The surrounding scenery emerged, transforming into mountains, rivers, and earth.

Upon the mountains, an earth-yellow giant dragon lay curled up in slumber.

The moment he saw this giant dragon, Duan Yu instantly determined which Dragon King's fall had created True Dragon Mountain.

It was the Mountain Dragon King!

Even Duan Yu had not expected it to be the Mountain Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's nine great Dragon Kings, the one who governed mountains and rivers!
