Chapter 1024: The Prey Has Finally Arrived!

“It’s that Yellow Dragon!”
“It must be him!”
Kaiqi, the third disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, exclaimed in shock, his face filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and a hint of fear.
The other powerful figures also became agitated.
The Yellow Dragon had finally appeared!
“That Yellow Dragon still dares to unleash his dragon power at this moment? Hmph, he’s simply seeking death!” Qing Cang snorted coldly, a glint in his eyes. “Let’s go! This time, we must not let him escape!”
“Exactly! This time, I must wash away the shame from falling into the Valley of Demons. I’ll make him unable to live or die!” Jun De, the fourth disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, also shouted.
Wash away shame? Unable to live or die?!
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures around them broke into cold sweats.
Even Wu Huang from the Wu Sect, who was at the peak of the middle period of the Twelfth Era, was killed by the Yellow Dragon. How could someone from the later period of the Eleventh Era possibly compete?
Qing Cang also felt embarrassed.
“Let’s go!” He immediately leaped forward, flying toward the direction where the dragon power was strongest.
Seeing this, Kaiqi hurriedly followed.
“Elder Brother, the Yellow Dragon is being so blatant. Could there be a trick?!” Along the way, Kaiqi couldn’t help but speak up. He had a bad feeling.
By doing this, the Yellow Dragon was clearly luring everyone over. But wasn’t he afraid of being surrounded and killed?
Would he be that foolish as to seek death?!
Qing Cang waved his hand and said, “Third disciple, I know what you’re worried about. But do you think he has anything other than the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth to rely on? Even if he has those, I can still capture or even kill him!”
In Qing Cang’s view, if he hadn’t been careless last time and allowed the Yellow Dragon to escape into the Abyss of Death, the Yellow Dragon would already be his prisoner.
“But I still feel something strange about this!” Kaiqi continued.
“Third elder brother, you’re being too cautious. With Elder Brother here, as long as no sage appears, who can be his opponent? That Yellow Dragon is full of himself. After killing Wu Huang from the Wu Sect and severely injuring Shi Wu Xing, the eldest of the Corpse Demon Sect, he thinks he’s very strong and that even Elder Brother can’t kill him!” Jun De interjected, snorting coldly. “That’s his own doom!”
Kaiqi fell silent upon hearing this.
Although the situation was strange, thinking of Elder Brother’s strength, he didn’t dwell on it further.
Long Yi and the others also closely followed Qing Cang and the others.
Gu Han from the Infinite Gate and the rest also rushed quickly toward the direction of the dragon power.
“Elder Brother, what should we do now?” The leader of the Seven Leaves Sect asked Gu Han, glancing at Qing Cang and the others ahead.

Guhan said, “That Yellow Dragon isn’t that easy to deal with. Let Qingcang take action first. When he severely injures the Yellow Dragon, I’ll seize the chance to deliver a heavy blow and kill it!”
“But even then, taking the sacred artifacts and great divine weapons from the Yellow Dragon probably won’t be that simple!” the Seven-Leaf Sect Leader worriedly said.
Everyone present was a master—besides Qingcang and Kaichi, there were also several powerful warriors from the Twelve Eras, including Shi Wuxing.
“Don’t worry. After killing that Yellow Dragon, I’ll sacrifice a Ten-Thousand-Enemies Battle Talisman to withstand Qingcang and the others’ attacks, while you take the opportunity to seize all the sacred-grade great divine weapons and spatial artifacts from it!” Guhan said nonchalantly.
“What? A Ten-Thousand-Enemies Battle Talisman? Brother, you have one?” the Seven-Leaf Sect Leader was surprised.
Guhan nodded, looking proud. “Indeed. This talisman was personally crafted by the Infinite Sacred Lord back then and given to me. I’ve been reluctant to use it. I originally planned to use it against Qingcang of the Heavenly Dao Sect during the Great War of All Races, but now, for the sake of the Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron on that Yellow Dragon, I can’t afford to be picky!”
In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, aside from great divine weapons, there were also some divine talismans whose power was no less than that of great divine weapons. The Ten-Thousand-Enemies Battle Talisman ranked among the top ten such talismans in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Its power was even greater than the Extreme Veil Divine Talisman that Qingcang had used against the Yellow Dragon back then!
“I never expected brother to have this Ten-Thousand-Enemies Battle Talisman. Great! This time, that Yellow Dragon is doomed. All its sacred-grade great divine weapons will belong to us!” the Seven-Leaf Sect Leader was overjoyed.
“It’s just a pity I can’t kill that Yellow Dragon with my own hands!” Then, the Seven-Leaf Sect Leader showed a look of resentment.
Thinking of how the Yellow Dragon had kicked him away in front of Long Cheng and the others, he couldn’t help but feel murderous intent.
Guhan smiled and said, “There’s no need to feel sorry. As long as we get the Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, we can let that Yellow Dragon die comfortably for their sake!”
“Brother is right!” the Seven-Leaf Sect Leader smiled. “But it’s fortunate that the Ancient Dragon Ruins isolate us from the outside world and prevent communication. Otherwise, if those sages outside get involved, we might not stand a chance!”
Qingcang of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Guhan of the Infinite Gate, the Seven-Leaf Sect Leader, and the others each had their own schemes and were plotting together, while Shi Wuxing, the Grand Elder of the Corpse Demon Sect, followed far behind them, sneering in his heart: “The terror of that Yellow Dragon is beyond your imagination. By then, you’ll both be devastated. Hehe, I’ll reap the benefits!”
As powerful warriors from various factions rushed toward the place where the dragon energy was fluctuating, high in the sky above a distant mountain range, Long Cheng and the three others stared in terror at the Yellow Dragon in the sky.

At this moment, the Yellow Dragon was surrounded by swirling golden clouds; every move of its seemed to command the forces of heaven and earth! Indeed, it was the forces of heaven and earth—seemingly in its control, as if it were the master of all! “So powerful… How could the Yellow Dragon have broken through again? How is that possible? Did it refine Wu Huang and the others? But even with the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, it shouldn’t be able to refine them so carelessly!” Long Cheng thought in shock. The expressions of the other three were similar. “Has the Yellow Dragon reached the peak of the later stage of the twelfth era?!” Long Cheng and the others wondered in astonishment. At that moment, the Yellow Dragon raised its head and let out a thunderous dragon roar. Golden clouds swirled as its immense dragon power spread far and wide. Long Cheng and the others were forced to retreat, their hearts trembling. After the roar, the Yellow Dragon stopped, took a deep breath, and with that breath, an invisible hurricane flattened a mountain range ahead! “The later stage of the twelfth era… Finally, I’ve reached it!” the Yellow Dragon murmured, filled with joy. After refining the divine bodies of Wu Huang and the others, it had reached the later stage of the twelfth era! “One more step, and I’ll reach the peak of that stage! The peak of the later stage of the twelfth era!” The Yellow Dragon couldn’t contain its excitement—becoming a sage was getting ever closer! Moreover, this time, it had used the Supreme Transformation Technique to devour Wu Huang’s top-tier divine weapon, the Green Cypress Sword, turning it into part of its own body, thus elevating its own body to the peak of a top-tier divine weapon! Once it gathered the Dragon Yang Silver Stones and Golden Dragon Purple Wood—materials needed to advance to a king-tier divine weapon—the Yellow Dragon’s body could ascend to that level! “The prey has finally arrived!” The Yellow Dragon suppressed its excitement, sensing Qing Cang and the others approaching from afar, and sneered inwardly. This was the moment it had long awaited!
