Chapter 305 The Evil Dragon
Eunuch Cao was forced back by Great Master Fayuan of Nalanda Temple, retreating into the cloud-shrouded night sky hundreds of miles away.
Now, who else could block Xue Bai's path?
Everyone fell into despair once again.
"Nalanda Temple! Hanging Temple! Xue Bai! Even in death, this old man will not let you go!!!"
Prince Wei roared at the sky, an unnatural flush appearing on his already aged face; he struck out with almost no restraint, his movements wide and powerful, forcing the evenly matched Celestial Being of Hanging Temple to retreat.
"He is burning the power of his Divine Treasury!"
Fa Ning, the Head of the Arhat Hall of Hanging Temple, frowned and could not help but switch from defense to offense.
But the conceited smile on Xue Bai's face did not fade; he seemed not to notice him at all, not even putting the mere Prince Wei in his eyes.
In his eyes, there were only experts at the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.
Now that Cao Gui had retreated, who else could stop him?
That peerlessly elegant Empress Dowager in the imperial palace?
Xue Bai sneered in his heart.
After ascending the throne, he would make Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng his own captive!
His gaze pierced through the dark night and layers of palace buildings, meeting the beautiful eyes of Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng in front of the Golden Throne Hall, a wicked smile appearing on his face.
Swish!
Just at this moment, the Void Realm behind Xue Bai rippled slightly, and two colossal golden dragon arms reached out; the golden scales on the dragon arms were clearly visible, and the dragon claws flashed with sharp, cold light as they clamped onto Xue Bai's shoulders.
"What is this?!?"
Everyone's expression changed in shock.
This thing appeared even more eerily than the ghost-like movements of the Great Eunuch Cao Gui just now, appearing behind Xue Bai without a sound.
Tonight's changes were truly more sudden than the last.
"Hmm?"
The moment the dragon arms reached out, a chill washed over Xue Bai's entire body, far more terrifying than when Cao Gui had suddenly appeared, making his scalp almost explode.
"Two Yi Return to Truth, Embrace the Origin and Guard the One!"
Xue Bai roared, black and white light radiating from his body, transforming into a Taiji halo that protected him.
The Taiji halo spun ceaselessly, twisting the surrounding space; those watching from the sidelines felt dizzy and could not look directly at it.
This was the Two Yi Return to Origin Technique passed down by Old Man of Tianshan.
Compared to the Immovable King Wisdom Seal of Nalanda Temple, it possessed the variation of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, which was truly profound.
Pop!
But this Taiji halo couldn't even block it for a single breath before being pierced by the hundreds-of-zhang-sized sharp dragon claws; the dragon claws shrank in mid-air, becoming the size of a normal person's hands, and clamped onto Xue Bai's shoulders.
His powerful Physical Body that had opened the Divine Treasury had no defense whatsoever; the dragon claws pierced deeply into his flesh and blood, and an irresistible, mighty force locked him in place.
A bright yellow figure appeared behind Xue Bai, a head with a chilling smile poking out from his shoulder.
"Such abundant power of Luck! If I swallow you, I will surpass the Founding Emperor, and no one in the world will be able to rival me!"
Emperor Li Heming had originally intended to use Xue Bai's Luck to replenish the Great Jin Dynasty and save the Imperial Dynasty's Luck, which was on the verge of collapse; but now, feeling this extremely dense power of Luck, he could no longer suppress his greed and intended to claim it for himself.
High above, the eight top Buddhist and Daoist experts, who were in a standoff, sensed this scene even earlier than those below.
"Is it Emperor Li Heming?!?"
Old Man of Tianshan had not expected such a turn of events.
The Great Jin Dynasty's Luck was on the verge of collapse; how could the Emperor appear here completely unscathed? Shouldn't he have been critically ill?
Boom!
Although shocked, his movements were not slow; he pointed a finger from within his sleeve, and a finger beam entwined with black and white Qi descended like a falling star, carrying a terrifying power that could destroy everything.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Honored One!"
Hearing this, the young Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Chun Yangzi, recited a title, flicked his horsetail whisk, and a strand of Pure Yang Qi flew out; in an instant, it crossed over a hundred miles, catching up to the finger beam and extinguishing it into nothingness with a bang.
"You!"
Old Man of Tianshan was no longer as calm as before, his expression filled with shock and anger.
He took a step, wanting to leave this place and save his Disciple.
The aura on Li Heming was strange and profound, and compared to Xue Bai, who had only recently opened the three Divine Treasuries, it radiated an indescribable, great terror.
"Fellow Daoist from Tianshan, please stay!"
Chun Yangzi flickered, blocking Old Man of Tianshan, and laughed lightly:
"A moment ago, we had an agreement not to interfere in the matters below. Why is Fellow Daoist from Tianshan so anxious? Could it be that you want to break the agreement?"
Old Man of Tianshan glanced downward, seeing a brilliant golden dragon coiling around Li Heming and Xue Bai, with a huge seal hanging above their heads.
Although Xue Bai's body was locked, he was still struggling to break free.
He roared and struggled, the Three Flowers above his head distinct in three colors, bursting with brilliant light as he tried to suppress the Emperor behind him.
But Li Heming's cultivation was far above his.
Furthermore, above that was the imperial seal of the realm that he controlled; this supreme treasure was constantly devouring Xue Bai's Luck, even eliminating that weak suppression force into nothingness.
"Hahahaha! Scream all you want! No one will pay attention to you even if you scream until your throat breaks!"
Li Heming laughed wildly.
The two of them were in an extremely ambiguous position, yet it was filled with intense murderous intent.
Before making his move, Li Heming had already observed that there were no other hidden experts at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level nearby.
With his current cultivation, no one in the world could hide nearby without escaping his perception.
The more violently Xue Bai struggled, the more invisible and intangible power from the Three Flowers above his head was absorbed by the imperial seal of the realm above; subsequently, this power was absorbed into Li Heming's body through some method.
The great dragon coiling in the sky became increasingly thick and increasingly fierce and twisted.
Old Man of Tianshan's expression could not help but become extremely ugly.
"Chun Yangzi! Do you see? This Emperor can no longer be called the Lord of All People; he is now a wicked dragon!"
"If he is allowed to sit firmly on the throne, the common people of the world will suffer even more!"
Chun Yangzi narrowed his eyes and thought to himself:
"Where did the Emperor get this Luck-stealing technique? Why is it so evil?"
However, he exchanged glances with Daoist Master Mingxin and the other two in the distance, immediately understanding each other's thoughts, and sneered:
"When Fellow Daoist from Tianshan ordered your Disciple to raise an army to rebel, you didn't care about the suffering of the common people, yet now you are concerned? I wonder how much your Daoist Magic has improved after cultivating in Tianshan for so many years?"
"If you can defeat this poor Daoist, you can naturally go and save your Disciple!"
"You—"
Old Man of Tianshan's expression was icy; he flicked his large sleeve, a gust of wind howled past, and Yin and Yang Qi circulated on his body as he clashed with Chun Yangzi, who was swinging his horsetail whisk.
On the other side, Daoist Master Mingxin and the others, who were in a standoff, also began to fight.
Originally, they thought the situation was balanced, and they naturally would not make a move.
But now, the Son of Destiny, Xue Bai, was locked by the wicked dragon of Great Jin Dynasty, and no one could remain calm any longer.
And above the capital, everyone was shocked by the suddenly appearing hundred-zhang golden dragon; the once arrogant Heavenly King Xue was now locked and unable to move.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone's eyes.
