Chapter 0154: Dragon Ball
The Dragon Emperor roared in fury, and all the dragon clan elders fell silent, using their full power to explore the domain space. They believed that within this domain space created by their combined efforts, even the strongest beings from the Divine Realm would have to reveal themselves. But this time, they were destined to be disappointed.
The Yellow Dragon hadn’t fled far—he had instead entered the Immortal Pavilion. The Immortal Pavilion, an evolved immortal artifact, was his true reliance. Once inside, the Yellow Dragon believed that not even the strongest beings from the Divine Realm could detect him, unless they were truly god-tier powers.
He had planned this ambush long ago, even before the combined forces of the dragon clan and the Church Alliance arrived. He had just been waiting, waiting until news spread across the Hengyuan Continent, convincing everyone that he, the Yellow Dragon, was incapable of resisting their forces. During this time, he had also been testing various factions that had cooperated with the Huang family.
After killing a leader of the Church Knights and an elder of the dragon clan, the Yellow Dragon entered the Immortal Pavilion and reduced it to the size of a speck of dust, then followed the armies of the dragon clan and the Church. As he said, he intended to kill two beings from the Sacred Realm every day! He wanted to drive the Dragon Emperor and the Pope step by step toward collapse. He wanted to spread panic among their armies of over a million soldiers. Only then would it be worthy of the attention the dragon clan and the Church had paid him. It would also be fitting for those factions that had defected from the Huang family to gloat at his misfortune. The Yellow Dragon intended to keep these people disappointed day after day, until they were filled with despair.
Of course, not long after he killed the leader of the Church Knights and the dragon clan elder, news spread at terrifying speed across every corner of the Hengyuan Continent. Everyone was shocked.
“What! The Yellow Dragon went alone and killed a leader of the Church Knights and an elder of the dragon clan right in front of the Dragon Emperor and the Pope!”
“And he left unharmed, with not even the Dragon Emperor or the Pope able to track him?!”
On the Hengyuan Continent, hundreds of billions of people—ranging from commoners to imperial princes—were paying close attention to the dragon clan, the Church, and the Yellow Dragon. Once this news spread, the entire continent erupted in turmoil.
“Killing just two people a day!”
“Sixty Sacred Realms? That’s not enough!”
The Yellow Dragon’s own words became extremely popular, even becoming a common saying among people on the streets. Sixty Sacred Realms—and he still thought it wasn’t enough?! Some of his admirers blindly promoted his claims, even going so far as to exaggerate that if he wanted, he could kill sixty Sacred Realms in a single day!
In one day, he kills sixty saints. All the saints in the Hengyuan Continent combined aren’t even enough for Huang Long to kill in a few days. Such rumors left some saints speechless. Of course, some people had different opinions after hearing that Huang Long had killed a head of the Church Knights Order and an elder of the dragon race.
In the Blizzard Empire Palace, the Wind and Moon Palace…
Daina sneered, “It’s just an exaggeration to show off. Huang Long, at the peak of a saint, succeeded in a surprise attack and killed two weak beginners among the saints—that’s natural. It’s ridiculous that such rumors spread outside, and he even dares to boast that he kills two people every day. Is he really underestimating himself, thinking he can single-handedly confront the entire dragon race and the Church?”
In Daina’s view, in front of the Dragon Emperor and the Pope, Huang Long only managed to kill those two beginners through a surprise attack.
“You wretched Zhao! I’ll have them deal with the Zhao family right now. Let’s see how long you can stay proud.” The mere thought of Zhao Miao’s smug expression today filled Daina with anger.
Elsa, standing nearby, was shocked. “Sis Daina, are you really going to order them to do that?”
“Exactly. As long as Old Man Zhao Yang and his brothers Zhao Shou and Zhao Tian are killed, the Zhao family is finished. Isn’t that wretched Zhao so full of herself? I’m actually looking forward to seeing your expression when you see your father and brothers’ corpses tomorrow.” As she spoke, Daina laughed merrily, her body trembling.
“But, Sis Daina, I think we should still…” Elsa hesitated, wanting to persuade her further.
“There’s no ‘but’. I’ve already given the order. I believe we’ll hear good news in a few hours.” Daina raised her hand and sneered.
…
After a head of the Church Knights Order and an elder of the dragon race were killed, all the saints from the dragon race and the Church gathered together. On the journey, they had to handle everything in groups—eating, drinking, even using the restroom. In short, no matter what they did, these saints lived in constant fear, staying alert at all times.
Throughout the rest of the journey, the Dragon Emperor Felidu remained gloomy.
Time passed slowly. For the saints of the dragon race and the Church, this day felt as long as a year.
Night finally fell. The army stopped to rest. Inside the temporarily set up tents, the saints from the dragon race and the Church sat together, while the Dragon Emperor and the Pope sat on the central thrones. The atmosphere was tense.
“Huang Long’s words earlier were just threats meant to disrupt morale. So, everyone must calm their subordinates. As for how to do that, you should know by now.” Pope Haides spoke calmly, his expression unchanged as he looked at the high-ranking members of the Church.
“Yes, Your Holiness.” Although the high-ranking members of the Church held different opinions, none dared to disagree.
“Hmph, you wretched Yellow Dragon. Yesterday, you managed to escape because I wasn’t prepared. Tomorrow, I’ll set up the Dragon Pearl Barrier to see if you can still get away.” Dragon Emperor Fei Li sneered, his face radiating authority without anger.
“The Dragon Pearl Barrier!” The elders of the dragon race were shocked.
The Dragon Pearl—a treasure passed down through the dragon race. They never expected the clan leader to bring it along this time. After being shocked, the elders soon showed relief, their expressions easing. With this artifact, there would be no problem.
Once activated, the Dragon Pearl Barrier was nearly impossible for even the strongest beings in the divine realm to break through. Once the Yellow Dragon was trapped, they could combine their forces to strike—a fate from which the Yellow Dragon could not escape!
“The Dragon Pearl Barrier?” Pope Hades and the high-ranking members of the Church felt a stir in their hearts.
They had heard of the Dragon Pearl, the treasure of the dragon race. Though they had never seen it firsthand, they had heard of its power. Seeing the expressions of the dragon race elders and Dragon Emperor Fei Li’s confident demeanor, they gradually relaxed.
“The Dragon Pearl? The Dragon Pearl Barrier?” Inside the Immortal Pavilion, the Yellow Dragon used his divine vision and divine hearing to hear everything clearly. He quickly deduced that the Dragon Pearl must be the treasure of the dragon race, just like the Pope’s Sacred Staff of Light. “Tomorrow, I’ll see just how powerful your so-called Dragon Pearl really is!” the Yellow Dragon sneered.
Night passed, and dawn approached. The armies of the dragon race and the Church continued their march. Yet, despite knowing that Dragon Emperor Fei Li had the Dragon Pearl, everyone still felt uneasy, staying on high alert, as if facing a great enemy, sensing their surroundings carefully.
The next day, not long after the armies advanced and passed through a valley, the Yellow Dragon’s voice rang out, “What? Have you been waiting for me?”
The elders of the dragon race and the Church were shocked. They looked up and saw the Yellow Dragon appearing in mid-air ahead of them. As soon as he appeared, a golden light flashed, and a pale yellow pearl appeared in the air, emitting a soft yellow glow that enveloped an area of ten zhang around the Yellow Dragon.
“Yellow Dragon, hehe, not bad. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
“I didn’t expect you to come and die so quickly,” Dragon Emperor Fei Li said coldly with a smile.
That pale yellow pearl was none other than the Dragon Pearl, the treasure of the dragon race, which had just been spoken of by Dragon Emperor Fei Li. As soon as the Yellow Dragon appeared, the prepared Dragon Emperor Fei Li released the Dragon Pearl and set up the barrier. Seeing that the Yellow Dragon was trapped inside, he spoke confidently. The elders of the dragon race and the Church also felt relieved, letting out a sigh of comfort.
“Haha, Yellow Dragon, this is the Dragon Pearl, the treasure of our dragon race. You’re now trapped within its barrier. Let’s see how you escape!” laughed Isi, the second eldest of the dragon clan, his face brimming with excitement.
Soon, the other elders of the dragon clan and the saints of the Church also spoke up, filling the air with laughter.
“Form the Dragon Slaying Formation!” commanded Emperor Felix in a cold voice. He then took to the air, and the elders stopped laughing. They respectfully gathered around Emperor Felix and formed a formation.
With Yellow Dragon trapped, Emperor Felix intended to use the Dragon Slaying Formation to deliver a devastating strike and eliminate this threat once and for all.
“Your Holiness, should we go help?” asked CardinalCardinal cautiously to the Pope, seeing that the dragon clan had already taken action. After all, eliminating Yellow Dragon was a great opportunity to boost the Church’s prestige—they couldn’t let the dragon clan reap all the benefits.
A glint appeared in Pope Hades’ eyes as he pondered, “Let’s observe the situation first. Keep watch in all directions.”
Yellow Dragon appeared, and then Emperor Felix used the Dragon Pearl to trap it instantly. Everything happened too smoothly, almost unnaturally.
“Yes, Your Holiness,” replied CardinalCardinal and others, who were momentarily stunned before understanding the Pope’s intention. They respectfully agreed and flew forward, staying alert and guarding all directions.
Yellow Dragon watched calmly as Emperor Felix and the others prepared their formation.
He had seen the power of the Dragon Slaying Formation on the Continent of Gods. Back then, Emperor Felix and thirteen others had used it to swiftly defeat that massive monster, which possessed the strength of a peak being from the Holy Realm, resembling a deep-sea octopus. Months later, that monster, trapped inside the Five Pits Divine Cauldron by Yellow Dragon, still hadn’t fully recovered.
Undoubtedly, the Dragon Slaying Formation formed by Emperor Felix and twenty others was even more powerful. If Yellow Dragon were struck by it, it would likely suffer the same fate as that monstrous creature.
As soon as the formation was set up, waves of powerful dragon energy surged forth. The air currents became chaotic, scattering the clouds high in the sky into vapor. Above, a radiant light appeared, covering an area of over ten miles.
The intense air currents forced the saints of the Church to retreat in panic, while the armies of the dragon clan and the Church also stepped back repeatedly.
In an instant, the dragon energy of Emperor Felix and his twenty companions converged, pouring down like a storm toward Yellow Dragon, engulfing everything in its path and reducing everything to dust.
A burst of light.
The blinding brightness made the saints of the Church, who were far away, close their eyes.
Boom! Boom!
It sounded like thunder rolling through the sky.
That devastating strike traveled for over ten miles before finally stopping.
After a long while, everything settled down. The Vatican members and others opened their eyes and saw only the Dragon Ball emitting a faint glow in the air; the Yellow Dragon was gone.
“Has it finally died?” they wondered in surprise.
