347: Chapter 347 The Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis Launches an Attack in Public!

"Who among you is the Spiritual Void Desolate Dao Master?"

A voice, deep as rumbling thunder, suddenly exploded in the middle of the venue.

The discussion segment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly had only just begun.

On the high platform, two Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples from the first group were fighting fiercely, and the audience below was watching with great interest.

But this shout pulled everyone's attention away.

Su Changge sat in the VIP seat, his fingers resting on the armrest.

He knew without turning his head—trouble had arrived.

The burly Cultivator with earth-yellow skin stood up from his seat.

No—he didn't just stand up.

It was like a mountain "growing" out of the ground.

Su Changge had noticed this person before.

Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis, Earth Collapse.

A member of the Four Directions Dragon Court.

Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation.

At this moment, Earth Collapse stood in the middle of the venue, with ten thousand pairs of eyes upon him.

His physique was too large.

He was a full two times broader than an ordinary Cultivator.

His shoulders were like two small hills, and his arms were thicker than many people's thighs.

The most conspicuous thing was his back—the arched bulge was unnatural, and something hard seemed to be pressing against his earth-yellow skin.

Rock spikes.

Dragon Clan traits barely concealed by his clothes.

But he clearly didn't care about being exposed.

Earth Collapse's gaze swept across the VIP seats and finally locked onto Su Changge.

"Is it you?"

Earth Collapse's voice sounded like gravel rolling.

"The Spiritual Void Desolate Dao Master?"

The surrounding Cultivators moved away one after another.

Not because of Earth Collapse's Spiritual Pressure—although the Spiritual Pressure of the Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation was indeed frightening—but because of the gunpowder in his words, which even a Mortal could hear.

Su Changge did not answer immediately.

He was thinking quickly.

【Earth Collapse, Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis, member of the Four Directions Dragon Court. Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation.】

【He jumped out at this time—is this Red Ember's arrangement, or his own idea?】

【If it is Red Ember's arrangement, what is the purpose? To divert attention? To test my strength? Or to delay time so others can continue setting up the Earth Vein Formation?】

【If it is his own idea—that is even more troublesome. This brute acts without logic and is capable of anything.】

Su Changge's gaze swept calmly over Earth Collapse.

Just one glance.

Then he withdrew it.

This reaction—everyone present saw it.

The Spiritual Void Desolate Dao Master glanced at that burly man.

And then he didn't look anymore.

It was as if he were looking at a stone on the side of the road.

Earth Collapse's expression changed.

His face was already earth-yellow, and this change made it even uglier—it turned ash-yellow.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Earth Collapse's voice raised an octave.

"This Marquis is asking you a question!"

As soon as the words "This Marquis" came out, the expressions of the surrounding Cultivators changed.

This Marquis?

What Marquis?

Which faction's Marquis?

In the VIP seats, several veteran Cultivators from the Chixiao Dao Domain looked at each other.

The title "Marquis" was not common in the Chixiao Dao Domain.

Because the power structure of the Chixiao Dao Domain was centered around Xiao Huang's Blazing Dragon Sacred Hall.

Those who could call themselves "Marquis" were either descendants of the ancient Dragon Clan, or—

"Dragon Clan?"

An old Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage exclaimed in a low voice.

"Is this person from the Dragon Clan?"

The news spread like ripples.

Commotion began to appear in the crowd.

No one was watching the martial arts competition on the high platform anymore.

Everyone's attention was on this side.

Xiao Huang sat in the main seat of the high platform, holding a wine cup, his expression gloomy.

He recognized Earth Collapse.

Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis.

One of the coveters of the underground dragon veins of the Chixiao Dao Domain.

Xiao Huang's finger traced the side of the cup.

He did not speak.

He was waiting.

Waiting for Su Changge's reaction.

That cup of wine just now had already confirmed one thing to Xiao Huang—the strength of this person in white was unfathomable.

Since it was unfathomable.

Then let the people of the Dragon Clan test the depth of the water.

Xiao Huang was an old fox.

He would not miss any opportunity to watch others make a move.

Seeing that Su Changge did not speak, Earth Collapse became even more aggressive.

He stomped his foot heavily on the ground.

"Boom!"

The entire venue shook.

It was not caused by Spiritual Power fluctuations.

It was pure physical strength.

The Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis's feet seemed to grow into the earth; with one stomp, the ground within a hundred zhang radius trembled along with it.

Several Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators standing close by had their legs go weak, almost falling down.

"This Marquis has heard that the Spiritual Void Desolate has produced a Dao Revered Master."

Earth Collapse's voice echoed in the venue.

"Talking about redefining the stars, talking about all Daos returning to one."

"This Marquis has also heard that even Hall Revered Master Xiao has to call this Dao Revered Master Senior."

Saying this, he glanced at Xiao Huang on the high platform.

Xiao Huang was expressionless.

Earth Collapse's gaze fell back onto Su Changge.

"This Marquis would like to see—what kind of Divine Might the 'redefining the stars' of the Spiritual Void Desolate Dao Master really is."

His tone became heavier.

"Or is it—just a person who deceives the world and steals a name?"

The four words "deceives the world and steals a name" landed.

The whole place was quiet.

So quiet that one could hear the wind.

The gazes of ten thousand Cultivators gathered on Su Changge at the same time.

Ye Qingyao's brows knitted slightly.

Her hand touched the hilt of her sword again.

Su Changge sat on the jade chair, motionless.

There was no anger on his face.

No displeasure.

There was not even any expression.

But his brain had already spun a hundred times.

【It's over.】

【This brute has put me on the fire to roast.】

【"Redefining the stars"??? When the hell did I ever redefine the stars??? Who the hell spread this title for me???】

【The current situation—with ten thousand people watching, if I don't respond, it's equivalent to admitting to "deceiving the world and stealing a name". If the news spreads, the persona of the Spiritual Void Desolate Dao Master will collapse directly.】

【But if I respond—how do I respond? He wants me to show the "Divine Might of redefining the stars", what the hell am I supposed to show! I am only at the Qi Refining First Layer! The only thing I can redefine is an alarm clock!】

Su Changge's fingers moved slightly on the armrest.

Ye Qingyao noticed his movement.

She knew that Revered Master was thinking.

Every time Revered Master thought, his fingers would move slightly.

A flash of light appeared in Ye Qingyao's eyes.

She was about to speak up to help Su Changge out of the siege—

"Qingyao."

Su Changge's voice sounded first.

As light as a feather.

Ye Qingyao stopped immediately.

"Disciple is here."

Su Changge's lips moved slightly.

"Sit."

One word.

Ye Qingyao was stunned for a moment.

Then—she sat down.

Her hand released the hilt of the sword.

Because she understood Revered Master's meaning.

You don't need to make a move.

I will deal with this person.

Ye Qingyao sat beside him, her back straight.

But her heartbeat accelerated.

Not because of nervousness.

But because of anticipation.

She wanted to see how Revered Master—would do it this time.

The silence of the entire venue lasted for about five seconds.

Five seconds later, Su Changge moved.

He didn't stand up.

He just—lifted his eyelids.

Just like that.

But this moment—

Earth Collapse's body stiffened abruptly.

Su Changge's gaze fell on Earth Collapse's face.

In those eyes—there was no Spiritual Power.

No Law fluctuations.

There was nothing that surpassed the Qi Refining First Layer.

But—

【Myriad Laws Immunity (Pseudo)】 passive effect triggered automatically at the same time.

Earth Collapse's Dragon Clan perception—that intuition originating from his ancient Bloodline—sent a warning to him frantically.

Those eyes.

Those eyes looking over.

Did not look like they were looking at a person.

But looked like—

Looking at an ant.

Earth Collapse's Dragon Clan Bloodline, which he had cultivated for over three thousand years, let out a low dragon roar the moment it was stared at by those eyes.

Not a dragon roar of anger.

It was—a dragon roar of fear.

Just like Xiao Huang's Burning Heaven Dragon Dao.

Submission.

Earth Collapse's knees bent involuntarily.

They only bent for an instant.

Then he supported himself with brute force.

But on his forehead—a layer of cold sweat had already broken out.

Su Changge looked at Earth Collapse.

His eyes were calm.

The corners of his mouth—had no curve.

He was just looking.

But this kind of oppressive feeling of "just looking" was ten thousand times stronger than any words.

Earth Collapse stood on the spot, feeling as if he were being pressed down by an invisible mountain.

Not Spiritual Power.

Not Laws.

It was—Dao.

It was the suppression from the great dao origin.

The whole place was silent.

Ten thousand Cultivators watched this scene—the Spiritual Void Desolate Dao Master didn't even stand up, he just lifted his eyelids, and that arrogant Dragon Clan powerhouse stopped moving.

Those Cultivators with keen perception—above the Golden Core Stage—felt an extremely subtle fluctuation at the same time.

That fluctuation radiated from Su Changge's direction.

It was not Spiritual Pressure.

It was Dao intent.

A kind of Dao intent that could not be described in words, as if heaven and earth themselves were breathing.

Su Changge shouted wildly in his heart.

【Don't look at me! You guys don't look at me!】

【I didn't do anything! I really didn't do anything! I just lifted my eyelids!】

【It's the System! It's the System's passive effect causing trouble!】

But on his face—he didn't move a muscle.

Because he didn't dare to move.

Moving might reveal the truth.

Su Changge looked at Earth Collapse for about three seconds like this.

Then, he spoke.

His voice was very light.

So light that only the Cultivators in the front row could hear it clearly.

But with the amplification of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly's sound transmission Formation, this sentence was sent to everyone's ears.

"What is your name?"

Three words.

Earth Collapse's face flushed red.

He, the dignified Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis—a Dragon Clan powerhouse known for brute force in the Chixiao Dao Domain—this person in white actually asked him "What is your name"?

This was not an insult to him.

This was—simply not taking him seriously at all.

Not even knowing his name.

Not even caring about his existence.

"This Marquis—Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis—Earth Collapse!"

Earth Collapse gritted his teeth and squeezed the words out one by one from his throat.

Su Changge heard this name.

His expression did not change at all.

But in his mind—

【Earth-Splitting Dragon Marquis, Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation. One of the members of the Four Directions Dragon Court. Controls Earth Dragon Power, can trigger earthquakes.】

【His purpose is to destroy the protective Formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly and mine the Dragon Crystal veins beneath the Blazing Dragon War Continent.】

【He jumped out at this time—it must be Red Ember's arrangement. The purpose is to use provocation to attract everyone's attention.】

【And Red Ember—what is he doing using this time?】

Su Changge's peripheral vision swept across the corner of the VIP seats extremely quickly.

Red Ember was still sitting there.

But his hand—

His right hand was placed on his knee, and his fingers were gently drawing something.

It was a Formation pattern.

He was drawing a Formation pattern on his knee.

Su Changge's pupils shrank slightly.

【He is activating something.】

【Earth Collapse is his smokescreen.】

Su Changge withdrew his gaze and looked at Earth Collapse again.

He needed to do two things.

First—stabilize the scene, and not let his persona collapse.

Second—stall for time.

Let Ye Qingyao check what Red Ember is doing.

Su Changge's fingers tapped on the armrest.

An extremely light voice reached Ye Qingyao's ears—so light that it seemed like an illusion.

"Red-gold hair. Corner of the VIP seat. His hand."

Ye Qingyao did not look back.

Her Divine Sense slid over silently.

One second later.

Ye Qingyao's fingertips turned cold.

She saw it.

The Formation pattern Red Ember was drawing on his knee—that was a type of Restriction she had seen in her previous life.

Dragon Vein Detonation Formation.

Ye Qingyao's breathing quickened for a moment.

But she did not move.

Because Revered Master said—no rush.

Revered Master let her look.

Not let her move.

Ye Qingyao suppressed the killing intent in her heart and continued to monitor Red Ember's every move with her Divine Sense.

Inside the venue.

Earth Collapse was still standing there.

He was waiting for Su Changge's response.

Everyone was waiting for Su Changge's response.

Su Changge sat on the jade chair.

The corners of his mouth—finally moved.

Slightly hooked.

An extremely faint arc.

That arc—made Earth Collapse's heart twitch violently.

Su Changge spoke.

"Stars—"

He paused.

"You want to see?"
