Chapter 0158: The Dragon Emperor Spits Blood
The news from the third day spread among the people of the Hengyuan Continent, even more exaggerated than the previous two days.
“Good news, good news! Senior Yellow Dragon has killed another elder of the Dragon Clan and an angel from the Holy Church!” A noble youth, upon hearing the news, couldn’t help but boast to his brothers.
“Senior Yellow Dragon sent the Pope flying with a single move, then summoned a golden five-clawed dragon as his divine pet, and with another move, sent the Dragon Emperor flying as well. The Pope and the Dragon Emperor are utterly helpless in front of Senior Yellow Dragon!”
……
“It’s laughable that the Dragon Emperor and the Pope abandoned their massive armies and rushed forward at full speed, thinking they could escape Senior Yellow Dragon’s ambush!” The noble youth kept talking nonstop until he suddenly stopped.
Another who had been listening intently urged, “What happened next? How did it turn out?”
The noble youth carefully glanced around, then lowered his voice: “Shh, let me tell you something absolutely true—there are actually two Senior Yellow Dragons!”
“What! Two Senior Yellow Dragons?!” The other was shocked and couldn’t believe it.
“Hehe, you don’t know that, do you? My grandfather said that once one reaches the Divine Realm and enters the divine plane and possesses a divine essence, they will have divine avatars,” the noble youth said proudly.
“Divine avatars?!” The other had clearly never heard of such things and was stunned. After a while, he asked doubtfully, “But isn’t Senior Yellow Dragon a peak warrior of the Sacred Realm?”
This time, the noble youth stammered and couldn’t answer. It was something even his grandfather, a peak Sacred Realm warrior, and other such warriors couldn’t understand.
Similar discussions were taking place in every corner of the Hengyuan Continent.
The first Senior Yellow Dragon summoned a golden five-clawed dragon as a demonic pet and sent the Pope and the Dragon Emperor flying with a single move!
The second Senior Yellow Dragon brought out a magical umbrella that could change size, instantly enclosing an army of a hundred thousand!
He has divine avatars!
Two Senior Yellow Dragons!
Now, in addition to ambushing two Sacred Realm warriors every day, he also claims to enclose an army of a hundred thousand every day!
All these rumors caused a frenzy in the streets and alleys.
Those who previously believed that Yellow Dragon couldn’t withstand the combined forces of the Dragon Clan and the Holy Church gradually lost confidence. After all, the repeated successes of Yellow Dragon’s ambushes were right before their eyes.
At the same time, doubts about Yellow Dragon launching surprise attacks also diminished.
Of course, some still held onto their suspicions. For example, if one needs to reach the Divine Realm and possess a divine essence to have divine avatars, then since Yellow Dragon is only a peak Sacred Realm warrior, the rumor of two Yellow Dragons is nothing but misinformation and slander.
The imperial palace of the Blizzard Empire, the back garden.
Emperor Lin Er held the magic letter delivered by the sacred realm guards at his side, read its contents, frowned deeply, and raised his head without saying a word.
“Gai Li, do you think my decision back then was wrong?” After a while, Lin Er spoke slowly, his voice low and filled with disappointment.
Gai Li, the strongest warrior in the Blizzard Empire’s imperial palace and a high-ranking figure in the sacred realm, stood before Lin Er. After hearing his words, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “If the Emperor believes it’s right, then it’s right.”
“I want to hear the truth!” Lin Er said sternly.
Gai Li pondered for a while before replying, “I believe the Emperor’s decision might have been wrong.”
Might have been wrong!
They were naturally referring to the incident when they learned that the dragon race and the Church had allied to fight against the Yellow Dragon, and Lin Er announced that he would distance himself from the Yellow Dragon.
Lin Er’s expression darkened as he looked at Gai Li, opening his mouth but saying nothing.
“However, even I believed at the time that the Yellow Dragon couldn’t possibly defeat the dragon race and the Church. Most people on the Hengyuan Continent shared this view, so the Emperor’s decision wasn’t wrong,” Gai Li continued.
Lin Er’s expression eased somewhat.
At that moment, a eunuch came in to report that Princess Daina wished to see him.
Lin Er was intrigued and ordered her to be brought in.
After Daina entered and greeted Lin Er, he asked her to sit down and then asked, “Daina, what did Archbishop Cole say?”
Daina glanced at the magic letter that Lin Er had just read and placed aside, then replied respectfully, “Your Majesty, the magic letter from my elder brother says that everything outside is just rumor and shouldn’t be believed entirely!”
Not to be believed entirely!
Lin Er’s eyes lit up as he asked urgently, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
Daina replied respectfully and recounted the news she had received from her elder brother Cole.
Of course, in her account, the Yellow Dragon, relying on a five-clawed golden dragon pet, managed to withstand the powerful attacks from the Dragon Emperor and the Pope, but was injured. After that, taking advantage of their distraction, it killed an elder of the dragon race and an angel of the Church before escaping.
Of course, she did not deny the existence of two Yellow Dragons.
After hearing Daina’s account, Lin Er felt much more at ease.
If that was the case, it meant that the Dragon Emperor and the Pope were still far stronger than the Yellow Dragons.
It made sense—after all, the Dragon Emperor and the Pope had ruled the Hengyuan Continent for over a thousand years, reaching the peak of the sacred realm after hundreds of years, while the Yellow Dragon had only reached that peak in a few months. No matter how strong the Yellow Dragon was, it couldn’t possibly overcome the combined power of the Dragon Emperor and the Pope, even with some mysterious weapons.
Realizing this, Lin Er’s face showed clear delight.
“Great Emperor, that Yellow Dragon is already at the end of his strength. I think there’s no need to worry about him; instead, we should be concerned about the Zhao family!” Seeing Lin Er in a good mood, Daina continued speaking and watched him carefully.
In the past, whenever she mentioned anything negative about the Zhao family in front of Lin Er, his expression would darken. But this time, seeing no change in his expression, she felt pleased and went on, “Great Emperor, think about it—since the Zhao family is so closely tied to the Yellow Dragon, and you’ve declared your separation from him, Empress Zhao might develop some unfavorable thoughts toward you.”
Daina shifted the topic to Zhao Miao.
At that moment, Lin Er said sternly, “Enough. Stop bringing this up. I know what to do.”
Seeing this, Daina stopped and then took her leave.
Watching her go, Lin Er muttered, “Women!”
Gai Li hesitated for a moment before saying, “Great Emperor, actually, what Empress Daina said isn’t entirely without reason.”
Lin Er frowned. “Do you think so too?”
“After all, Empress Zhao is from the Zhao family. With your previous actions, Zhao Yang must have his own thoughts, which could inevitably affect how Empress Zhao views you,” Gai Li said.
Lin Er fell into deep thought.
If that was the case, did he really have to endure the pain of disqualifying Zhao Miao?
While discussions raged across the Hengyuan Continent, Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong, upon learning about their son Huang Long’s battle situation three days later, felt completely at ease.
Yet it was still hard to understand, as rumors about two Yellow Dragons were widespread.
They asked Bogu, Gusta, and others, who explained that it was the young master’s spiritual essence.
Spiritual essence?! What was that?
Was it identical to the person itself?
After hearing this, Huang Xiong and Zhao Rong were even more confused rather than enlightened.
In the end, they resolved to wait for their son’s return to see if his so-called spiritual essence truly resembled him.
If the distant Huang Long were to know their thoughts, he would likely be speechless.
At that time, Huang Long was inside the Immortals Pavilion, suppressing and subduing the massive monster he had trapped in the Five Pits Divine Cauldron back on the Gods’ Continent.
Inside the Five Pits Divine Cauldron, nourished by its spiritual energy array, the monster’s injuries had almost fully healed.
Above the Immortals Pavilion, Huang Long stood in midair, his immense mental power directed at the surging energy in the Dayan Divine Thunder Array. With the help of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, it wasn’t long before he subdued the monstrous creature.
After subduing this massive monster, the Yellow Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a mass of innate essence, which merged into the monster’s body. The monster’s body then emitted a dazzling light, undergoing astonishing changes. First, the scales covering its body, which had previously been soft and attached closely, now became hard and dense, like pieces of refined iron. Next, its thousands of limbs grew longer and thicker. By the time the Yellow Dragon had subdued this massive monster, three days had passed. The fourth day arrived. As expected, the Dragon Clan and the Church lost two more sacred realms, while the army under the Sky-Piercing Umbrella increased from 100,000 to 200,000. The fifth day, the sixth day… By the eighth day, amidst the heated discussions across the Eternal Yuan Continent, no one still doubted that the Yellow Dragon’s ambush was a surprise attack, a stroke of luck. Everywhere, the discussions were nothing but awe. Those who worshipped it grew even more devoted, while those who feared it grew even more terrified. The Yellow Dragon had almost become an invincible legend. Meanwhile, the Dragon Clan and the Church gradually became the laughingstock of millions on the Eternal Yuan Continent. As various factions were shocked by the Yellow Dragon’s terrifying strength, they took pleasure in the misfortunes of the Dragon Clan and the Church. On the eighth day, another sensational news spread. The palace of the Dragon Language Empire was attacked by a group of sacred warriors and was completely destroyed overnight! The emperor of the Dragon Language Empire and all his princes were killed, and none of the dozen sacred warriors guarding the palace escaped. When the news spread, everyone was shocked. The first thought that came to everyone’s mind was the Yellow Dragon—could it have been done by its sacred warriors? But soon, definite news came that it was actually people from the World Alliance. Not long after, it was reported that the World Alliance had already allied with the Yellow Dragon and the Huang family. Initially, when the Yellow Dragon met Long Yi, they agreed that the Yellow Dragon would ambush the armies of the Dragon Clan and the Church, while the World Alliance would destroy the palace of the Dragon Language Empire. They would act separately. This was also why Long Yi did not show up when the Yellow Dragon ambushed the armies of the Dragon Clan and the Church. Of course, Long Yi did not intervene in the destruction of the palace this time. “What?! The palace of the Dragon Language Empire has been destroyed! The emperor and all his princes are dead!” When Dragon Emperor Fei Li heard this news, he was filled with rage and could hold back no longer; with a cry, he spat blood! The Dragon Emperor spat blood! The Pope and the others were shocked, and all the remaining elders of the Dragon Clan paled, urgently calling out, “Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor!” The Dragon Emperor waved his hand, signaling that he was fine. “World Alliance! Good, good! My Dragon Clan will show you the consequences of your foolishness!”
