Chapter 191: Unveiling

Night fell quietly—it was a fine day. The stars in the sky were especially bright that night, emitting a strong glow that even cast reflections on the sea surface. A gentle breeze stirred the calm sea, creating faint ripples on its mirror-like surface. A thin thread of golden light, as thin as a hair, shot up from beneath the sea surface straight into the sky. Instantly, faint ripples appeared in the heavens. The wind grew stronger, and countless clouds began to gather. In moments, dense dark clouds covered the sky. Gradually, more and more clouds accumulated, eventually covering the entire Earth’s surface. At that time, it was night in the Eastern Hemisphere, and everyone was already asleep, so this didn’t cause any trouble. But in the Western Hemisphere, people were horrified to find that what had been sunny moments ago had once again turned into darkness, with not even a trace of light breaking through. The sun seemed to have been swallowed, and thunder and lightning filled the sky. Many people screamed in panic about the end of the world, and the entire Western world fell into chaos. At this moment, artificial satellites orbiting Earth captured an incredible scene: a giant blue dragon, of unknown length or size, with its scales and claws fully visible, coiled around the Earth’s surface, its body wrapping around it. Those dense dark clouds were clearly the clouds from which the blue dragon emerged. Then, a tremendous force radiated from Earth, instantly destroying all the artificial satellites outside it. The entire Earth was plunged into darkness. “Roar!” At that moment, a loud roar echoed through space. Indeed, in space, where there is no medium for sound to travel, a massive sound was produced. Above the sun, a fire-colored qilin, half the size of the sun itself, stepped out and let out a deafening roar in the direction of Earth. The sound was so powerful that, even without a medium, it caused spatial vibrations, propelling sound waves forward. Meanwhile, on the other eight planets in the solar system, including Pluto, which had been exiled from the planetary ranks by humans, each had a giant divine beast appear. These beasts roared at Earth together, instantly shattering countless asteroids in space. In an instant, it seemed as though some strange force, centered around the sun, connected the nine planets in the solar system. In that instant, the power of all ten planets converged on Earth. In an instant, Earth’s surface, which had previously been extremely loose, became incredibly compact, and its strength increased countless times over. “Aow!” Finally, the giant green dragon on Earth let out a loud roar in response to those other divine beasts. After a moment, the divine beasts on the other eight planets retreated, leaving only the enormous fire-colored qilin above the sun, still staring at Earth menacingly. …

“How is that possible! Just the discovery of a treasure belonging to a lowly deity has triggered such powerful disturbances! Could it be that this barren planet is the gateway to that legendary existence?”
In the vast universe, a faint figure appeared. He stared in astonishment at the blue divine dragon on Earth and the massive fiery qilin above the sun.
“No, I must report this back. By entering that legendary place, we can find the lost divine realm and obtain the secrets of countless ancient deities.”
The faint figure spoke to himself. Then, a faint silver light flashed across his body as he prepared to tear through space and leave.
But at that moment, the blue divine dragon on Earth suddenly opened its mouth, and a blue light wave rushed toward the figure, destroying his body before he could escape, even erasing his soul.
A silver divine essence floated quietly in the universe before being swallowed by a giant black hole, its fate unknown.
At the same time, an unknown entity appeared—a massive deity identical in appearance to the previous figure. A flash of shock passed through its eyes, followed by a slight tremor before it stood still, its eyes losing their luster; it had died silently.
…
“It has finally appeared in the world.”
Above Jinghua City, a great immortal clad in light blue robes floated quietly. His gaze drifted gently toward the east, where the Tianlong Secret Treasure lay.
Then he raised his head, two beams of golden light shooting from his eyes, seemingly piercing through the thick clouds covering the sky.
“Hmph, a spirit deity at the third-level Yuanling realm dares to send a clone when the guardian beast awakens? He can’t blame anyone if he dies.”
“Hehe, but how will these outsiders from other realms enter the secret treasure? Since they dared to appear in the mortal world this time, it’s no longer just a warning.”
A cruel smile appeared on the immortal’s face.
“The guardian beast has been disturbed; it seems the secret treasure is about to fully erupt.”
…
“Take the space orientation stone and head to the Tianlong Secret Treasure.”
At that moment, many high-ranking leaders from various powerful factions on Earth issued such orders. They were aware of the terrifying strength of the guardianship forces on Earth and feared that if realm experts entered the mortal world, they would suffer devastating blows.
Thus, the major factions in China, in particular, activated their forces hidden in the mortal world. Using their technological capabilities and the space orientation stone, they approached the Tianlong Secret Treasure.
Theoretically, the interior of the Tianlong Secret Treasure was a small space similar to a world of supernatural abilities. Although its gateway was on Earth, it no longer belonged to Earth.
However, from previous openings of the Tianlong Secret Treasure, many supernatural beings had learned that the space orientation stone could open a gateway to that place.
But this time, it was different from before—even the guardian beasts protecting Earth were disturbed, as the forces of nine planets united to defend Earth, showing just how serious the situation had become.

Suddenly, the entire Earth was in turmoil. High-tech products that once only appeared in science fiction films began to emerge everywhere on Earth. The technological power on Earth was countless times greater than what was shown, and even many mechanical beings appeared. The advanced technological forces on Earth could now threaten even the most powerful supernatural beings, forces that ordinary people were absolutely not allowed to possess. Moreover, supernatural beings had even stronger mental powers; it was impossible for them not to develop high-tech products—these things were just hidden under normal circumstances. Now, with the revelation of the Tianlong Secret Treasures and the gods’ hoards, it was the perfect opportunity for these high-tech products to show their true power. Instantly, countless hidden forces from major factions emerged and headed toward the location of the Tianlong Secret Treasures. The great immortal stood high above the world of Jinghua, yet no one could detect him; he seemed to be completely merged with the darkness. Beside him, a warrior at the seventh level of the Domain Realm rushed past, but failed to even notice his presence. The immortal sneered, waved his hand, and a green light flashed—resulting in that warrior being destroyed instantly without even a cry. In the distance, another domain warrior flying by was shocked upon seeing that practitioner from the seventh level of the Domain Realm die mysteriously. But before he could do anything, a destructive will descended upon him, instantly erasing his consciousness. Even the laws governing his body were fragile in the face of this destructive will, leaving him no chance to fight back before being destroyed as well. “Master,” suddenly, a white light appeared beside the immortal. A figure resembling an elementary school student, with a pale, wan face, stood before him. “Shui Jing, you’ve come,” the immortal said, his usual playful expression replaced by extreme indifference. “This is the key to unlocking the Golden Dragon God’s Treasure Vault. Take it and obtain the treasures of the Golden Dragon God as your trial.” With a wave of his hand, the immortal threw a golden dragon scale into Shui Jing’s hands. “Master, what about Chen Xiao?” Shui Jing was slightly stunned after receiving the dragon scale. He had thought the immortal would give it to Chen Xiao instead. “Chen Xiao? A mere Tianlong Secret Treasure is nothing to him. There are greater treasures waiting for him later.” “Greater?” Shui Jing was puzzled. “You don’t need to know that. Remember, only by obtaining the Golden Dragon God’s Treasure Vault and merging with his divinity can you have a chance to become a guardian,” the immortal said casually. “Go. The Golden Dragon God’s Treasure Vault has already been awakened. You’ll face great competition.” “Yes, Master. I won’t disappoint you.” Shui Jing’s body flashed, turning into a streak of light before disappearing. …
