Chapter 0143: Slaying the Dragon

The indifferent voice of the Yellow Dragon clearly reached every corner of the training ground.
Millions of people fell silent.
Even those from the Dragon Language Empire’s royal family who had previously mocked the Yellow Dragon loudly now kept their mouths shut, staring in shock at the figure standing proudly on the main arena.
Dead silence. Complete silence.
Sitting in the Obu family’s spectator area, Cardinal Koel’s expression also changed drastically. Compared to others, he thought of more things—first and foremost, the Twelve Angels of Resi who had been killed over a month ago.
Could it be? Koel came up with a terrifying conclusion.
Back then, Pope Hades and the high-ranking members of the Church believed it might have been done by a powerful being from the Divine Realm surrounding the Yellow Dragon, assuming he didn’t possess such strength. But now, the Yellow Dragon was actually a peak being of the Sacred Realm!
Even Eudo, the eldest elder of the dragon race and a peak being of the Sacred Realm, couldn’t withstand a single strike from him.
Terrifying!
It was utterly terrifying!
He had risen from an advanced stage of the Sacred Realm to its peak in just half a year—so what if he rose from the peak of the Sacred Realm to the Divine Realm?!
The more Koel thought about it, the more terrifying the opponent seemed to him. Remembering the Pope’s words before he left, he felt even more the necessity of eliminating the Yellow Dragon.
If the Yellow Dragon reached the Divine Realm, it would be a disaster for the Church.
As everyone held their breath, Eudo struggled to get up from the ruins on the main arena floor. The stones pressing down on him rolled away. Now, covered in dust with messy hair, he looked like a hedgehog in the forest.
Just now, the Yellow Dragon had infused the Power of Divine Thunder into his Twelve Stars Fist, inadvertently giving him a new hairstyle.
Seeing Eudo stand up, the Yellow Dragon didn’t pursue him but stood high above, watching him indifferently.
Eudo stood up, and his ridiculous appearance drew laughter from the descendants of some major families, especially the giggles of noble girls.
These laughs made Eudo’s face turn red and white as the eldest elder of the dragon race who had ruled for over a thousand years.
Channeling all his dragon power, waves of fierce energy surged through him. Eudo soared into the air, his hair flying up, and stones on the ground were lifted by his violent aura and suspended in midair.
His aura grew stronger, and his murderous intent erupted as his dragon power was released wildly.
Finally, his eyes turned golden-red.
“Yellow Dragon, I’ll tear you to pieces!” Eudo’s voice was deep, his golden-red eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.
“Is that so? Then, are you ready?” came the Yellow Dragon’s indifferent voice.
What just happened was just warming up.
“Are you ready?” Those words sounded highly sarcastic to Eudo’s ears.
Just now, the other party had been waiting for him to get ready.

Roar! With a roar, Oudo’s eyes flashed with golden-red light. He punched twice and instantly appeared in front of the Yellow Dragon. Amidst the crowd’s screams, it seemed Oudo had struck the Yellow Dragon’s body. But then, everyone realized it was just a afterimage of the Yellow Dragon. In an instant, Oudo delivered dozens of blows, yet all were against afterimages. It was only after dozens of strikes that the afterimages disappeared, showing just how terrifyingly fast their combat was. Oudo’s successive attacks all missed, striking the sky and the ground. With a thunderous crash, the ground shook, and the nine rings surrounding the main arena also collapsed into ruins. That terrifying energy attack even hit some spectators in the nearby stands, sending them flying backward. Things turned out unexpectedly. The beautiful face beneath the temple priestess’s veil changed expression as she quickly rose into the air, chanting magic spells to activate the magic array in the training ground. A defensive energy barrier formed, enclosing the arena and separating it from the stands, thus preventing further harm. Seeing all his attacks fail, Oudo was terrified—the opponent’s speed was so fast he couldn’t even see clearly. “Now it’s my turn to attack!” The Yellow Dragon’s voice turned cold as his figure flashed instantly. “Five Elements Dragon Embrace!” In an instant, the Yellow Dragon appeared in front of Oudo. Then, with a mere embrace of the void and a reversal of heaven and earth, Oudo felt an overwhelming force twisting him upward—not backward, but high into the sky. With a loud crash, he pushed aside the defensive energy barrier created by the temple priestess and continued to soar. What kind of combat skill was this?! Oudo continued to fly upward under the relentless pull of that force, unable to stop. Suddenly, a figure appeared before him—it was the Yellow Dragon. “Five Peaks Energy Barrier!” With two punches, the Yellow Dragon created five massive mountains of air currents that struck Oudo’s body. Oudo felt his entire body shake, his eyes bulging as he bent forward, flying higher like a launched lobster. As he continued to soar, the Yellow Dragon’s figure flashed repeatedly, delivering dozens of punches. Eventually, Oudo’s body reached the high-altitude energy layer. Then, with lightning flashing in his hands, flames swirling, and sword light blazing, the Yellow Dragon slammed down on Oudo’s falling body. Millions of spectators in the arena looked up and saw Elder Oudo of the Dragon Clan falling headfirst, his speed so great it caused the surrounding air currents to reverse. From afar, he resembled a human bomb. Boom! In an instant, he hit the ground, shaking the entire arena.

Centered on the spot where Oudo was struck, the ground cracked and then spread in all directions. Soon, the spectators near the stands were horrified to see the protective walls in front of them collapse. After a long while, the dust settled and calm returned. On the cracked ground of the arena lay a green dragon, one on the verge of death. Oudo’s eyes were unfocused as his dragon form appeared. The yellow dragon slowly descended and came to Oudo’s side, speaking through telepathy: “Do you think just because you’re the eldest of the dragon clan I won’t dare kill you? You’ve been wondering howPhit andMoluo -> Morlo died, haven’t you?” Oudo’s eyes widened—Phit andMoluo -> Morlo! Could it be? “It was you!” came Oudo’s weak voice, before his dragon head drooped. Pitifully, he hadn’t even had time to fully manifest his dragon form before being killed in a series of attacks by the yellow dragon. Perhaps in his death, his dragon eyes remained wide open in shock. Millions of people also had their eyes wide open. The wind howled, drowning out their breathing sounds. It seemed as though the wind was singing a mournful song for Oudo, sounding eerily sad. The yellow dragon appeared to hold purple thunder blades in both hands. Under the terrified gazes of everyone, it swung down with a single strike, severing Oudo’s head from his body. Then, with a press and a pull, a dragon tendon was pulled out from Oudo’s body. Dragon slaying! It was a live dragon slaying! A shocking scene unseen on the Continent of Hengyuan in thousands of years. Everyone held their breath, their breathing rapid. The young disciples who worshipped the yellow dragon stared at it in awe and fanaticism. No one spoke, nor did anyone dare to intervene. Even Koel, the red-robed archbishop who had wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill the yellow dragon, watched it in terror. He had planned to strike under pretense, joining forces with Oudo, the eldest of the dragon clan, to deal with the yellow dragon together. But the yellow dragon’s attacks were too fast—before he could act, Oudo was already killed multiple times. A peak warrior of the Sacred Realm had no chance against the yellow dragon! What kind of power was this? Perhaps only a warrior of the Divine Realm could subdue the yellow dragon! One could only say subdue, not kill! While shocked, Koel also felt relieved inwardly—thankfully he hadn’t acted earlier, otherwise he might now be lying on the arena floor alongside Oudo. A red-robed archbishop? If it could even kill the eldest of the dragon clan, would it care about a mere red-robed archbishop? Nine years ago, Tai Ruo’s death was probably done by this very yellow dragon!

Thinking again of the deaths of the twelve angels of Rishi, Archpriest Cole grew even more terrified. If he had initially guessed it might have been the Yellow Dragon, then now it must surely be the Yellow Dragon. Twelve two-winged angels, along with Budz, the peak Dark Night Demon of the Holy Land, couldn’t even escape from this Yellow Dragon! Archpriest Cole broke into cold sweat. It seemed only Grand Priest Tobid could deal with this Yellow Dragon! That was his final conclusion. This time, our Holy Church had stumbled upon such a terrifying monster! The Temple Priestess had wanted to intervene, after all, it was she who invited the Dragon Clan’s Elder, but now he was dead here. Yet it was too late—like everyone else, she hadn’t expected the Yellow Dragon to kill Eudo in just a few blinks with its successive attacks. A peak warrior of the Holy Land died so easily?! A peak warrior of the Holy Land killing another peak warrior in mere moments—had they not seen it with their own eyes, not even she, nor the Legendary Grand Priest of the Orc Empire, Nakko, the Commander of the Hell Demons, Xize, nor the Sea Clan’s Sacred King, Luotian, and many other powerful figures could have believed it. Millions of spectators on site also couldn’t believe it! The Sea Clan’s Sacred King, Luotian, had a close relationship with the Dragon Clan’s Dragon Emperor and had planned to step in to help Eudo if he was overwhelmed, but he never expected such an outcome. His strength was roughly on par with Eudo’s. That’s why, even after Eudo died and the Yellow Dragon extracted his dragon sinews, he didn’t dare step forward to stop it. Legendary Grand Priest Nakko of the Orc Empire, who had just reached peak Holy Land strength, felt even more complicated. He had originally intended to use the competition to settle the grudges with the Elan family and showcase his own strength to elevate their status, but now those thoughts had long vanished. Under the eyes of millions, the Five Hells Divine Cauldron flew out from the Yellow Dragon’s hand. Then, to everyone’s astonishment, Eudo’s dragon corpse was sucked inside. Everyone widened their eyes in shock. After the Five Hells Divine Cauldron returned to the Yellow Dragon’s fingers, the Yellow Dragon looked at the ruined ground around it. Then, with a shake of its feet, the yellow earth energy surged forth beneath its feet. The ground slowly rose, stones solidified, and the cracked ground gradually healed, with the previously collapsed arena rising one by one from the ground. In just a few blinks, everything returned to normal—just as it was before the battle between the Yellow Dragon and Eudo. The Temple Priestess, Legendary Grand Priest Nakko, Commander Xize of the Hell Demons, the Sea Clan’s Sacred King Luotian, Archpriest Cole, and others all paled.

Such a method is likely beyond the reach even of the powerful beings in the Divine Realm who study the laws of earth.
