Chapter 1029: Avenging Today’s Affront!

The other Golden Dragon Elders guarding outside the Ancient Dragon Ruins Realm were also surprised by the fluctuations in the restrictions. Ahead, at the boundary of the Ancient Dragon Ruins, wave after wave of golden light flickered like the sea.
“Could it be that Qing Cang from the Heavenly Dao Sect and Gu Han from the Infinite Gate are fighting?” one of the Golden Dragon Elders asked in shock.
Only when the power fluctuations inside became extremely strong would they trigger the hidden restrictions within the Ancient Dragon Ruins. In the minds of the Golden Dragon Elders, aside from the powers of Qing Cang and Gu Han, no one else could cause such fluctuations.
“Rumors say that Qing Cang from the Heavenly Dao Sect has already reached the realm of a sage—his strength is indeed formidable!” one of the Golden Dragon Elders sighed in admiration. “I feel utterly inferior!”
“Gu Han from the Infinite Gate isn’t weak either; he’s managed to fight against Qing Cang for so long!” another Golden Dragon Elder added.
At the boundary ahead, the force of the restriction fluctuations continued wave after wave for over an hour.
“Should we report this to the clan leader?” one of the Golden Dragon Elders pondered after a while.
After the Golden Dragon Sage established the barrier of the Ancient Dragon Ruins Realm, he left with the other sages and returned to the Golden Dragon Palace, leaving only a few Golden Dragon Elders to guard the place.
“Report what? Let them fight among themselves. Such a trivial matter doesn’t warrant reporting to our clan leader!” another Golden Dragon Elder said indifferently.
While the Golden Dragon Elders were discussing, inside the barrier, Qing Cang from the Heavenly Dao Sect and Gu Han from the Infinite Gate were fighting together against the Yellow Dragon. The battle grew more intense, and both fighters grew more fearful—yes, fearful!
Because they realized that the Yellow Dragon seemed never to tire, its strength seemingly endless! Moreover, it grew more and more fierce with each battle!
At first, the two of them could hold their own against the Yellow Dragon, but as time passed, they were forced into a disadvantageous position.
“He must have some treasure that continuously supplies him with power!” Qing Cang’s expression darkened, his eyes flickering.
That was the only explanation for why the Yellow Dragon grew stronger with each battle.
Not only Qing Cang but also Gu Han realized this.
“Could he have a sacred-grade spiritual vein in his body?!” Gu Han’s expression shifted rapidly before he dismissed the idea, as even a sacred-grade spiritual vein couldn’t explain such a phenomenon.
Although the spiritual energy from a sacred-grade spiritual vein could continuously replenish the Yellow Dragon’s power, it couldn’t make it grow stronger with each battle.
Their guesses were correct. All of this was due to the World Tree in the Yellow Dragon’s Sea of Souls.

As he fought against the two, Huang Long realized that he could harness the World Tree of the Sea of Souls to absorb part of their attack power and convert it for his own use. This was why Huang Long not only remained unexhausted but grew stronger with each battle. The intense struggle spread its force, destroying everything within billions of miles around the Primordial Dragon Ruins. Mountains collapsed, and massive fissures appeared across the ground. Magma erupted from beneath the earth, along with innate star energy, primordial qi, boundless divine light, halberd shadows, and the Wheel of Heavenly Dao. Meanwhile, the leader of the Seven-Leaf Sect had already received a message from Gu Han of the Infinite Gate and fled. Only Long Cheng and the other three had retreated to a distant place but hadn’t left. “Huang, Brother Huang Long, he actually… he really did it!” One of the powerful warriors beside Long Cheng stared in utter shock at the fierce battle in the distance. The situation had completely exceeded their expectations. The four of them stood frozen, their minds blank as they watched Huang Long fight against Qing Cang of the Heavenly Dao Sect and Gu Han of the Infinite Gate. “Brother Huang Long, it seems he doesn’t even need to flee!” After a while, the shocked Long Cheng suddenly said with self-mockery. The other three also looked embarrassed. Earlier, they had been worried whether Huang Long could escape! “Look, Qing Cang and Gu Han are trying to flee!” Suddenly, one of the powerful warriors beside Long Cheng pointed toward the sky and exclaimed. Everyone was stunned. They saw that Qing Cang, considered the greatest being below the saints, and Gu Han, now forced to flee by Huang Long! The two transformed into golden and white beams of light and vanished into the sky in an instant. Huang Long didn’t chase after them. Both were at the peak of the later stage of the twelfth era and possessed life-saving techniques, so Huang Long wasn’t sure he could kill them. “But next time you meet them, you won’t be so lucky!” Huang Long sneered. As long as he refined the divine bodies of Si Wu Xing, Kai Qi, and Jun De this time, he would be able to reach the peak of the later stage of the twelfth era—just as close to the realm of a saint as Qing Cang! By then, with his true body combined with the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, Huang Long would be confident enough to kill the two in one strike! “Brother Huang Long!” At that moment, a joyful voice rang out. Huang Long turned and saw Long Cheng and the other three flying toward him from afar, all with smiles of joy on their faces.

“Brother Huang Long, your strength truly exceeds my expectations. It seems we were worried for no reason, haha!” Long Cheng stepped forward and said with a smile, “From now on, Brother Huang Long will be the number one person beneath the saints!”
“That’s right, Brother Huang Long will indeed be the number one beneath the saints from now on!”
“Even that Taoist Qing Cang is nothing in comparison. In front of Brother Huang Long, he has no choice but to flee!”
The other three also laughed.
The four of them looked at Huang Long again, their expressions changing once more.
Compared to before, their demeanor was even more respectful.
Huang Long smiled and said, “Young Clan Leader Long Cheng, you all are overpraising me. Let’s go!”
“Yes, let’s leave this place first!” Long Cheng said with a smile.
Immediately, the five of them vanished from sight in a flash.
After leaving, Huang Long and the others found a secluded place and entered the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron to enter seclusion once again, beginning to refine the divine bodies of Shi Wu Xing.
While Huang Long was in seclusion refining the divine bodies of Shi Wu Xing, above a lake in the Ancient Dragon Ruins, light fluctuated, and a figure appeared—it was Gu Han from the Wuliang Sect, who had fled.
Coming out of the void, Gu Han looked disheveled.
“Damn it, Huang Long! One day, I will surely avenge today’s humiliation!” Intense hatred and murderous intent flashed in Gu Han’s eyes. He had never felt so humiliated as he did today.
“Elder brother!” At that moment, the Leader of the Seven Leaves Sect flew over from afar, looking shocked and puzzled.
This lake was the Dragon Lake where they had agreed to meet again.
Behind the Leader of the Seven Leaves Sect were Jin Long, Wu Long Zi Long Tang, and several other powerful figures.
“Elder brother, that Huang Long?” The Leader of the Seven Leaves Sect approached Gu Han cautiously and asked, “Has he already been killed?” As he spoke, he made a cutting motion with his hand.
He was naturally asking whether Gu Han and Qing Cang had already killed Huang Long.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Gu Han’s cold expression and murderous gaze, so he quickly shut up.
