Coiling Dragons Soar into the Sky, Forces Gather
Immortal-Abandoned Continent, Martial Sect Mountain.
The spiritual energy here is so concentrated that it has condensed into liquid, and every ancient tree in the mountains is growing wildly.
Qin Rushuang stood on the edge of the cliff, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. The nine golden pillars of light that stretched to the Heaven Reaching and the earth in the sky were like a cage, locking the gaze of the entire world.
[The great era... has truly arrived.]
[But at the eye of this storm, can the Martial Sect truly withstand it?]
Just as she was in a state of utter confusion, the Xukong rippled slightly, and two figures walked out as if strolling leisurely.
"Rushuang, I'm back."
Upon seeing Dongfang Yueming return, Qin Rushuang wanted to rush over immediately, but when her gaze fell upon the alluring and charming woman beside Dongfang Yueming, whose eyes were filled with spring water, she couldn't help but pause.
Su Wurao covered her mouth and chuckled, her peach blossom eyes sweeping over Qin Rushuang before she gave a graceful bow. "This must be Sister Rushuang, right? My husband has mentioned you quite a bit on the way here."
Qin Rushuang's pretty face stiffened slightly. Although she felt a pang of sadness, she could only sigh inwardly as she sensed the aura emanating from Su Wurao that was so perfectly in tune with Dongfang Yueming's.
[This guy, in the end, can't be kept under my control by myself alone.]
"Hey bro!"
At this moment, Hong Ling, the little girl, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hung directly around Dongfang Yueming's neck. She stared at the nine pillars of light, a rare look of solemnity appearing in her eyes.
"Those old guys are quick."
Dongfang Yueming nodded, his Divine Sense expanding infinitely at that moment.
[The Dragon Transformation Art... yearns for those nine pillars of light!]
He could feel the Dragon Primordial Spirit within his Purple Mansion roaring wildly. This Coiling Dragon Pillar was not only the vessel for the Immortal Seed, but also the only key to the further evolution of his "Dragon Transformation Art"!
"No matter who comes, I'm determined to seize this opportunity."
Dongfang Yueming's voice was calm, yet it carried an overwhelming, domineering power that seemed to sweep across the ages.
At this time, the Xukong of the Immortal-Abandoned Continent had been torn apart and riddled with holes.
"Buzz--!"
The first wave to arrive was from the Azure Realm Sword Sect.
Seven Void Refinement Elders, their auras as deep and unfathomable, hovered around the Nine Dragons Phenomenon, atop seven enormous flying swords powerful enough to cleave galaxies.
"Although the Lower Realm Sword Sect is a piece of trash, this Coiling Dragon Pillar must belong to my Sword Sect!"
The seven Void Refinement experts joined forces, unleashing sword energy that soared into the sky, completely clearing away the clouds within a radius of ten thousand miles.
However, before they could regain their footing, another dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
"Your Sword Sect Sect's reach is far too long!"
The sky was dyed crimson gold as Long Ming, accompanied by three heavily armored Dragon Son with ferocious auras and a group of protectors, descended in a grand procession.
These Dragon Son were all strikingly handsome, their eyes revealing an indifference towards all things.
"The Coiling Dragon Pillar rightfully belongs to my Dragon Clan!"
The people from the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace have also arrived.
Honglian, dressed in a red dress, resembled a fiery flower blooming in the Xukong. Several Void Refinement Realm elders followed behind her, but her mind was clearly not on the treasures; her indifferent eyes constantly searched for that familiar figure below.
Immediately afterwards, the Supreme Unity Sect's flying boat, like a floating celestial city, slowly broke through the boundary wall.
Although the number of disciples dressed in blue Daoist robes was small, each of them possessed a restrained and refined aura, clearly indicating that they were the most elite members of the Azure Realm.
Not only that.
Another supreme power in the Crimson Realm, the "Mad God Hall," also dispatched several body-refining experts whose physical bodies could sweep across the Xukong.
In an instant.
Around the nine pillars of light, the Xukong was divided into various colored areas.
Sword energy, sea of fire, thunder, demonic energy, dragon's might...
With various forces clashing, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The local forces that once dominated the Immortal-Abandoned Continent were not even qualified to approach these giants.
Beneath the nine dragon pillars of light, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.
"Long Ming, what is the origin of this Coiling Dragon Pillar? As the legitimate successor of the dragon race, shouldn't you Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, give everyone an explanation?"
The one who spoke was the Grand Elder of the Azure Realm Sword Sect, who had reached the Void Refinement Perfection. He carried a long sword on his back, his eyes flashing like lightning as he stared directly at Long Ming, his tone full of probing.
"Snort!"
Long Ming snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and a hint of disdain flashed in his golden dragon eyes.
"There are some things you shouldn't know."
He sneered inwardly: [A bunch of fools! The Coiling Dragon Pillar is an unparalleled opportunity left by our clan's ancestor. How could outsiders like you possibly fathom the secrets it contains?]
"Ha, the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest is truly domineering."
Just then, a detached voice rang out.
Among the elders of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace behind Honglian, an old man with red hair and beard slowly stepped out.
His gaze was fixed intently on the nine stone pillars, and he said, enunciating each word clearly, "If I am not mistaken, what is inscribed on these Coiling Dragon Pillar is... a fragment of the ancient ' Nine Transformations of the True Dragon '! And this... is a direct path to Great Dao ' True Immortal '!"
"What?! True Immortal?!"
This statement caused an uproar throughout the room!
The various forces that had initially only wanted a share of the pie now had incredibly burning eyes!
A muscular, burly man from the Mad God Hall couldn't help but lick his lips, a wild glint in his eyes.
"A Celestial-level inheritance? Hahaha! Interesting!"
He took a sudden step forward and punched one of the stone pillars, trying to test its strength!
"Boom--!"
However, there seemed to be an invisible barrier around the stone pillar. Before his fist could even touch it, it was bounced back by a gentle yet irresistible force!
"It's useless." The leader of the Supreme Unity Sect, a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor, shook his head. "This item already has an owner. To open it, you must follow its rules."
Just when everyone was at a loss...
"Buzz--!"
The Xukong rippled, and a figure in green robes, accompanied by two stunningly beautiful women and a little girl, stepped through the air from the direction of the Martial Sect.
It's him!
Within the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest camp, Long Ming's pupils constricted sharply, and his killing intent surged instantly!
"You killed my son's servant and dare to show your face here?!"
He was about to make a move when Honglian coldly interrupted him.
"Long Ming, have you thought this through? If you act now, you might... miss the activation of the Coiling Dragon Pillar!"
Long Ming's movements faltered.
He glanced at the other Dragon Son, who were also eyeing him covetously, and cursed inwardly.
[Damn it! These guys are just waiting for me to make the first move so they can reap the benefits!]
He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
[Forget it, once we enter the secret realm, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with this brat!]
Just then!
"Hold head high--!"
Suddenly, the nine Coiling Dragon Pillar all let out a Tianlong!
The dragon-shaped relief on the stone pillar seemed to come alive and began to slowly move!
A line of ancient golden characters slowly emerged in the Xukong.
[True Dragon Trial, First Stage.]
[Those who master the pillar's Divine Ability within three days may advance to the next level!]
"Divine Ability?!"
Everyone immediately looked closely.
Nine distinct patterns appeared on the nine stone pillars. Some resembled howling winds, some thunderbolts, and some Huo Fentian...
Each and every picture contains a profound and mysterious Divine Ability!
"Hahaha! Heaven is on my side!"
One of the Dragon Son of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest couldn't help but burst into laughter after seeing the patterns clearly!
"These nine Divine Ability all originate from the bloodline of the dragon race! For us disciples of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, they are as easy as drinking water!"
"That's right! It seems this legacy is destined to belong to our dragon race!"
The members of Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest all wore confident smiles. They immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.
Although the powerful figures from other factions were somewhat unwilling, they knew that the opportunity was too good to pass up, and they all began to try to comprehend it.
Dongfang Yueming merely glanced at the nine stone pillars indifferently.
[The Nine Gates Divine Ability?]
[That's interesting.]
He didn't rush to try to understand it, but instead turned to look at the women beside him.
"These nine Divine Ability encompass the five elements of wind and thunder. You can choose the ones that suit you and give them a try."
"And what about you?" Qin Rushuang asked with some concern.
"I?"
A playful smile curved at the corners of Dongfang Yueming's lips.
[This kind of thing...]
[Does it still need to be understood?]
