282: Chapter 282 Lord Yunchi

During the days Huo Sixian was unconscious, he was taken away by a mass of mist.

The mist came without any warning, carrying Huo Sixian directly away.

Huo Sixian instinctively wanted to resist, but it was too late—completely too late. The mist gave him no chance and knocked him unconscious directly.

When Huo Sixian opened his eyes again, he saw a dragon appearing before him.

A golden dragon, its entire body radiating a five-colored halo.

It looked mysterious and noble.

Unconsciously, Huo Sixian felt that the dragon before him was very familiar.

Even though he had clearly never seen this dragon before, Huo Sixian felt it was exceptionally familiar.

So familiar that he knew the pattern of every single scale on the dragon's body.

He also knew that this dragon liked to rise at the Hour of Chen and rest at the Hour of Wu.

He also knew that he and this dragon had fallen in love with the same human.

Standing before this dragon, Huo Sixian felt as if he were looking into a mirror.

Suddenly, the dragon before him spoke.

"Fool, after being given so much time, you still haven't remembered."

"Time is almost up, yet you haven't prepared anything."

The moment Huo Sixian heard the golden dragon speak, he was completely stunned.

Because the golden dragon's voice was exactly the same as his own.

For a moment, Huo Sixian even felt that the golden dragon was himself.

But when that thought occurred to him, he felt he must be going crazy.

So, he simply closed his eyes, wanting to fall back asleep.

As long as he woke up, this dream would vanish.

But in return, he received a direct slap to the face.

It was delivered by the golden dragon.

The massive dragon tail whipped right across Huo Sixian's face, slapping him wide awake.

"Fool! You still haven't remembered and actually want to sleep? If Ye Qingqing knew you were like this now, how could she trustingly give herself to you!"

Huo Sixian was startled; this wasn't a dream after all, and the dragon even knew Ye Qingqing.

In an instant, a murderous look filled the space between Huo Sixian's brows.

"Who are you?"

The golden dragon before him couldn't help but be amused by Huo Sixian.

"Who am I?"

"I am Yun Chi. Do you remember now?"

Upon hearing the name Yun Chi, Huo Sixian's brain experienced a momentary dizziness.

He felt the name was extremely familiar, as if it had followed him for many years.

However, Huo Sixian couldn't for the life of him remember what connection he had with the name Yun Chi.

The more Huo Sixian thought about it, the more his head throbbed with pain, as if something were about to sprout.

"Yun Chi..." Huo Sixian silently muttered the name Yun Chi.

As the dizziness worsened, the name Yun Chi seemed to become clearer, and the golden dragon's silhouette gradually took shape in Huo Sixian's mind.

Many voices reached his ears, constantly swirling around him.

"You were never suitable for each other!"

"How can a human and a dragon fall in love?"

"This is something the Heavenly Dao will never tolerate!"

"What is the Heavenly Dao!"

"When I defy these heavens, I shall be the Dao itself!"

"Foolish!"

"For a mere human! You are actually willing to cast aside tens of millions of years of cultivation!"

"A human's lifespan is but a few short decades; before the vast Dragon Race, they are nothing but a speck of dust in the void!"

"How could you be moved to love!"

"Yun Chi!"

"You are rebellious and unorthodox! Your crimes are heinous!"

"Defying the Heavenly Dao is an unpardonable offense!"

Huo Sixian felt like his head was about to explode as the surrounding noise grew louder and louder until he was completely submerged in it.

In unbearable agony, Huo Sixian crouched on the ground, his hands violently pounding the earth because of the pain.

He wanted to shake those noisy voices out of his head.

But Huo Sixian failed.

Because those noisy voices didn't dissipate; instead, they grew more intense.

"His strength is so great, surely he can't actually overturn the Heavenly Dao, can he?"

"If it really comes to that, what should we do? What kind of world will it become then?"

"Help! Oh mother, it's so scary!"

"That dragon has actually started fighting the Heavenly Dao!"

"They fought for seven times seven, forty-nine days!"

"For a hundred consecutive days, the sun hasn't appeared in the sky. I heard the sun was scared away, and the earth no longer has sunlight."

"Ah, no! I was waiting for the sun to grow; just a little more, just a little more and I could have transformed. Why is there no sun at a time like this?"

"How much longer will Lord Yun Chi fight the Heavenly Dao?"

"The lives on this continent are being devastated."

"Why? Why would someone as great as Lord Yun Chi insist on falling in love with a lowly human?"

"They clearly know that humans and dragons are different; why must they love each other? This is inherently an act against the Heavenly Dao."

"It's over, it's all over. We might all die in this battle."

"The continent's spiritual energy is unstable. I can sense that the Heavenly Dao's power isn't as strong anymore."

"Could it be... could Lord Yun Chi really overturn the heavens and become the Dao himself?"

The memories in Huo Sixian's mind became increasingly chaotic.

He remembered.

He remembered everything.

He was Yun Chi, and Yun Chi was him.

They were originally one and the same.

The Heavenly Dao had its regulations: interspecies love was forbidden, for it was said to go against the natural order.

Initially, Yun Chi had dismissed this news with disdain.

After all, as a member of the Dragon Race who had lived between heaven and earth for tens of millions of years, he had never encountered a female who caught his eye.

Yun Chi had always felt that this world was utterly boring.

So he idled away every day; thousands of years might pass in a single sleep.

During that time, he had never encountered anything unusual.

Until one time, when he woke up and was about to sneeze, a Strange Spirit suddenly came to stop him.

"Lord Yun Chi!"

"You mustn't!"

"If you let out this sneeze, the Human Race won't survive!"

Yun Chi's sneeze was already at the edge of his mouth; even though the Strange Spirit came to stop him, he still let it out.

He just changed the direction.

Having his sneeze interrupted, Yun Chi looked at the Strange Spirit with great dissatisfaction.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Human Race? Never heard of them. To think even my sneeze could be interrupted by you—it seems you've been living too comfortably these past years!"

The might of the Dragon Race—one moment of anger shakes a thousand miles.

In the time it took for Yun Chi to display his might, the territory occupied by the Human Race for the past few millennia experienced a violent tremor.

The Strange Spirit immediately begged Yun Chi for mercy: "Lord Yun Chi! This little one is not lying to you. Just now, when you displayed your might, an earthquake occurred in the human territory."

"Lord Yun Chi, look! Right over there!"
