Chapter 0221: Tianyun Dimensional Space
As beams of light flashed and rotated, eerie waves swept across an area of dozens of miles, charging toward the Yellow Dragon.
The Yellow Dragon’s gaze sharpened, and his brows flashed—then the Group of Immortals Pavilion appeared.
“Divine Fiend Dragon Wave!”
The spirit of the Group of Immortals Pavilion, a five-clawed golden dragon, roared like thunder, opened its mouth, and unleashed a strike that swept away all those waves.
But at that moment, the Hellish Demons Fran andSis took advantage of the Yellow Dragon being preoccupied with attacking the waves and launched another joint attack toward the Primordial World created by the Primordial Map.
Two blades of death were thrust forward simultaneously, producing a sharp sound.
After a violent tremor, two cracks appeared in the Primordial World.
The Hellish Demons Fran andSis transformed into two strands of sickly green light and fled in an instant. Right behind them, Ze Wei from the Thunderflame Mansion and the half-orc Ale struck hard, pushing back the four-winged angel Tobid and others before also transforming into two strands of gray light and escaping.
The Beast Gods Peter and the others were momentarily stunned but quickly followed.
However, just as the four-winged angel Tobid was about to leave, the Yellow Dragon, who had blocked the attacks of the two Hellish Demons, regained his senses. He soared upward and slapped out, forcing Tobid back. The Purgatory Tower emerged, with flames pouring down and enveloping him.
Tobid was shocked by the flames surrounding him and activated his magical energy.
“Light Barrier!”
White light radiated from his body, forming a light barrier hundreds of meters wide.
But Tobid soon realized that the flames instantly burned through his light barrier and seeped in. With a scream, suddenly, the Purgatory Tower descended.
With a powerful sucking force, Tobid was drawn into the Purgatory Tower.
After absorbing Tobid, the Purgatory Tower turned into a stream of light and flew back to the Sky-Piercing Umbrella, the Ming Tian Pearl, the Thunder-Shaking Bell, the Illusionary Seal, the Yin-Yang Mirror, and the Primordial Map, which also returned one after another.
The Primordial Barrier vanished, and everything in the grand hall returned to normal.
The Sky-Piercing Umbrella, the Thunder Gathering Vessel, the Immortal Binding Rope, the Green Rainbow Sword, and other treasures all returned to the Yellow Dragon’s physical body and soul.
From the Hellish Demons Fran andSis breaking through the Primordial World, Ze Wei and the others fleeing, to the Yellow Dragon using the Purgatory Tower to subdue Tobid and finally retrieving all the treasures with the Sky-Piercing Umbrella—it all happened in the blink of an eye.
By the time everything in the grand hall returned to normal, Fran andSis had already rushed to the blue sword in the hall.
The Beast Gods Peter and the others tried to stop them but were entangled by Ze Wei and the half-orc Ale.
Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon retracted its primordial spirit and took to the air. Its Green Rainbow Sword transformed into countless sword beams, which surrounded its body and, centered around it, formed a Sword Dragon.
“Sword Dragon Formation!”
Wherever the Sword Dragon created by the Yellow Dragon passed, everything was torn to pieces as it charged at the Hellish Demigods Fran and Xis.
Fran turned his head in shock, spun around, and launched a strike. Waves of death energy formed various Hellish Death Beasts, which gathered into a formation and continuously clashed with the Sword Dragon.
At the same time, the Sea God Apton and others also attacked Xis, who was about to retrieve the blue sword.
Xis was breaking the flames surrounding the blue sword and reaching for it when he saw Apton and the others attacking. He sidestepped, drew a circle with his right hand, and slapped at them, while extending his left hand toward the blue sword.
A loud roar echoed, followed by cries of shock and anger from Apton and the others.
As both the Yellow Dragon and Fran retreated, Xis laughed heartily, “Hahaha! The key to the Blue Whale Temple is finally in our hands!”
Fran, Zevi, and Ali all showed signs of joy.
After obtaining the blue sword, Xis laughed loudly and took off toward the entrance of the grand hall.
The Beast Gods Peter and the others tried to stop him but were entangled by Fran, Zevi, and Ali who arrived shortly after. In the blink of an eye, Xis disappeared without a trace.
Fran, Zevi, and Ali followed closely behind. Seeing the key lost, Peter and the others roared in anger and chased after them.
Apton, along with Simp and Belin from the Phoenix clan, were stunned for a moment before showing concern. Just as they were about to chase after them, they saw the Yellow Dragon standing there in a daze and stopped. Simp hurriedly said, “Brother Yellow Dragon, they’ve gone!”
Unexpectedly, the Yellow Dragon turned around and slowly said, “I know.”
Apton, Simp, Belin, and the others were baffled. What did that mean?! He knew?!
“That blue sword in Xis’s hands is the key to the Blue Whale Temple!” Apton exclaimed urgently.
“Who said that blue sword is the key to the Blue Whale Temple?” The Yellow Dragon looked up at Apton and the others.
Apton and the others were stunned, staring at the Yellow Dragon in silence. Then they understood what he meant—yes, who had said that blue sword was indeed the key?
As everyone entered, there was nothing on the four walls of the grand hall, so they assumed that the small blue sword was the key to opening the Blue Whale Temple. But was that small blue sword truly the key? It was merely their wishful thinking. At that moment, screams of pain came from Yino, the ancestor of the dragon race, inside the hall. Looking over, they saw Yino lying there, covered in blood. Long Yi stared at Yino coldly. “I never expected you to be a remnant of the dragon race!” Yino’s face turned deathly pale, filled with regret. The person behind the World Alliance, Long Yi, was actually a dragon! They never imagined he would hide so well. If they had known earlier, they would have eliminated the dragon race at any cost. “It’s a pity you know too late now!” A murderous intent flashed in Long Yi’s eyes as he reached out and pressed a surge of energy onto Yino. Yino’s eyes widened, he let out a hoarse cry, trying to stand up, but eventually collapsed. Long Yi looked at Yino’s corpse with complex emotions, glanced at it briefly, then turned and went back to the group. By then, the Sea God Apton and the others also snapped out of their daze and looked at the Yellow Dragon. “But there’s nothing else in this hall. If that small blue sword isn’t the key to the Blue Whale Temple, where could the key be?” Simp from the Phoenix clan said thoughtfully. Everyone sensed the walls of the hall again, puzzled. The Yellow Dragon didn’t speak but turned and walked to the platform in front of the hall. Under the astonished gazes of Apton and the others, he swung his sword, and when it struck the platform, it emitted a dazzling light. A force surged forth, blocking the Yellow Dragon’s sword strike. Everyone was shocked—what was this?! Seeing the barrier of energy in the platform blocking his attack, the Yellow Dragon snorted coldly, channeled his inner energy, and his sword beam grew stronger. This time, without any obstruction, he instantly shattered the barrier and slashed at the platform. With a clang, the platform split in two. From it, a brilliant blue light shot out, and from within the light, an object slowly rose. Seeing the object rising from the blue light, Apton and the others exclaimed in surprise, “What is this?!” “The key to the Blue Whale Temple?!” Inside the blue light was a key, entirely blue and about the size of a baby’s arm, emitting a faint silver glow, crystal clear.
Everyone originally thought that the key to the Blue Whale Temple had been seized by the hellish demon Sith and taken away, filling them with anxiety and disappointment. Now, seeing this key, which should be the real key to the Blue Whale Temple, appear before them, they were overjoyed.
The Yellow Dragon caught the key with one hand; it felt icy to the touch. Staring at it closely, he discovered that the key was made of Blue Crystal Ironwood. According to ancient records from the Hengyuan Continent, Blue Crystal Ironwood was said to be a substance from the divine realms.
“It seems that Clark indeed obtained something from the divine realms back then!” the Yellow Dragon thought, recalling the legends about Clark gaining precious items in those realms.
“Let’s go back now!” said the Yellow Dragon. With the key to the Blue Whale Temple in hand, they wanted to return before Leiyan Mansion and others noticed anything unusual.
The Sea God Apton and the others nodded and left the grand hall with the Yellow Dragon. Before leaving, the Yellow Dragon stored Eno’s dragon form inside the Five Pits Temple.
Just as they stepped out of the grand hall, a flash of light appeared before their eyes, and the scenery changed. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves at the summit of a high mountain. On top of the mountain stood the middle-aged couple who had led them into the grand hall earlier.
“Congratulations, everyone, for obtaining the key to open the Blue Whale Temple,” said the man to them as they came out.
The Yellow Dragon watched him indifferently. Since he had the key to the Blue Whale Temple, it wasn’t strange that the man, as its guardian, sensed this. The Sea God Apton and the others also waited quietly for what he would say next. The fact that he had waited here specifically for them meant he surely had more to tell them, such as the location of the Blue Whale Temple.
The ancient maps of the Blue Whale Temple only indicated where the key was, not its location. Sure enough, the middle-aged man continued, “Since you all have the key to the Blue Whale Temple, I naturally need to tell you where it is.”
“The Blue Whale Temple is not in the Hengyuan Realm,” the man said slowly, looking at them.
The Yellow Dragon and the others were surprised.
“It’s in the Tianyun Dimensional Space, within the Qingyao Star Region, on the Planet of the Last Era!” the man revealed the location of the Blue Whale Temple.
“What?! Tianyun Dimensional Space?!” The Yellow Dragon wasn’t too perturbed, but Long Yi and the others paled.
The middle-aged man glanced at Long Yi and the others but said nothing. The Yellow Dragon was puzzled and looked at Long Yi and the rest.
Long Yi explained, “The Tianyun Dimensional Space is not far from our Hengyuan Plane. By breaking through space and navigating through the chaotic air currents, we should be able to reach it in a month at our speed. However, the Tianyun Dimensional Space is very chaotic, with large-scale battles frequently occurring between various planets. Even powerful beings from the divine realms avoid it. Moreover, there is something in that space called a Yuan Magnetic Storm—if one is caught in it, even a lower-ranked god will perish!”
“That’s just one example,” added the Sea God Apton with a gloomy expression.
