89: The provocation of the Xuanlong prodigy, the test of the dragon race.

The news of a peerless Prodigy emerging from the Taiyi Holy Land had already begun to spread across the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

The name Xu Jinhuan was being sung in every Dao Province. Now, any Cultivator with even a modicum of status within an Immortal Dao Lineage was very familiar with this name.

After all, the dual Physique of the Chaos Body and Heavy Pupils was a myth rarely seen throughout the ages. Not to mention, he had the Heaven-Defying battle record of fighting and suppressing a Heavenly God Realm Prodigy while only in the Heavenly Being Realm.

Precisely because of this, when the Taiyi Holy Land's warship—gilded all over and engraved with the Sun, Moon, and Stars Array—broke through the clouds and appeared above the Primal Emperor City, the entire Imperial City fell silent for an instant. Immediately, all gazes converged like a tide, filled with awe and curiosity.

The warship's defensive light barrier descended, and everyone's breath hitched.

"So many beauties!"

A low exclamation pierced the silence, voicing everyone's inner thoughts.

On the wide deck of the warship, seven or eight women stood gracefully, their figures exquisite. Some were dressed in simple, elegant plain skirts, while others were draped in red gauze, brilliant and moving. They were plump and slender, each with their own unique charm.

Each one could be considered the pinnacle of heaven and earth's finest creations. The aura flowing from them was holy, lively, or cold and glamorous; every single one was a top-tier Prodigy of the world.

"Hiss! If I'm not mistaken, that is the First Saintess of the Red Lotus Heavenly Palace, Jiang Luoyi! Rumor has it she possesses the Ice Phoenix Exquisite Physique and is the greatest talent in the Red Lotus Heavenly Palace in one hundred thousand years. Such a Prodigy is actually willing to follow someone else? It seems the one on the warship is that young Supreme of the Taiyi Holy Land, Xu Jinhuan!"

"Who else could it be but him? These women all possess immense Luck and noble fates; in any Dao Lineage, they would be treasures held in the palm of one's hand. Only an eternal Prodigy like Xu Jinhuan could make them willingly follow by his side."

"I heard that this Supreme Xu also killed the younger brother of the Xuanyang Dao Progenitor inside the Huayang Grotto-Heaven. The Xuanyang Dao Progenitor is extremely protective of his own and seeks revenge for the slightest grievance. This is going to be a good show..."

Discussions rose and fell. In every corner of the Primal Emperor City, countless well-informed individuals kept their eyes locked on the Taiyi warship. Beyond the shock in their eyes, there was even more envy, jealousy, and hatred that could not be hidden.

The women by Xu Jinhuan's side were goddesses they all dreamed of, yet now they were all surrounding one person. This romantic fortune...

Any man who saw it would be green with envy! Even a eunuch...

Deep within a layer of clouds above the Imperial City, Li Xuanyang stood proudly in the Void Realm. Behind him, a scorching great sun hung suspended, shedding golden divine radiance that set him off as if he were the Lord of the Heavenly Sun.

Upon seeing Xu Jinhuan, his eyes turned sharp, and a cold snort escaped his throat.

"Hmph! A mere clown seeking his own death. Once the secret treasure opens, I will personally take your head to sacrifice to my brother!"

Despite the deep hatred, Li Xuanyang had no intention of attacking immediately. The Primal Supreme secret treasure had not yet opened, and every bit of strength was crucial. He did not want to waste energy on such an insignificant matter.

Moreover, in his view, that brother of his was dead, just an expendable burden, far less important than his own Dao path.

Furthermore, those simple-minded fellows of the Yao Race would naturally be unable to resist making a move, helping him test the depth of Xu Jinhuan's strength.

After all, this guy had single-handedly promoted the Taiyi Holy Land's subjugation of the entire Golden Flood Dragon clan, causing the Heavenly Demon Dao Province, the gathering place of the Yao Race, to lose all face.

In the eyes of the Yao Race, Xu Jinhuan was a thorn in their side!

Sure enough, not long after the Taiyi Holy Land warship appeared, a high-pitched roar that shook the universe came from above the Nine Heavens.

Roar! — The sound of a Dragon's roar shook the vast sky!

The sound of the Dragon's roar pierced gold and cracked stone, sweeping down with endless pressure, causing the entire Primal Emperor City to tremble violently. Many Cultivators with low cultivation were even shaken until their Qi and blood surged, forcing them to kneel on the ground on the spot.

In the high sky surrounded by colorful clouds, a ten-thousand-foot giant Dragon slowly poked its head out. Its pitch-black scales shimmered with a cold luster in the sunlight. Its head, which blocked the sky and sun, was like an ancient mountain, steadily blocking the path directly in front of the Taiyi warship.

Cold air permeated the giant Dragon's mouth, condensing countless ice shards that floated in the Void Realm. A chill that froze the Divine Soul enveloped the surroundings. It looked down at the Taiyi warship from above, and an old, majestic human voice came from the Dragon's mouth:

"People of the Taiyi Holy Land, get lost immediately! The Profound Dragon Holy Emperor has decreed that you are not qualified to participate in the Primal secret treasure!"

The moment the voice fell, several massive auras of Yao power gathered from all directions, faintly surrounding the Taiyi warship. Clearly, they had been prepared for a long time.

Seeing this, the Cultivators of the Primal Emperor City retreated to a distance, their eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

The one blocking Xu Jinhuan's warship was none other than a young Prodigy of the Profound Dragon Clan!

As a top force of the Yao Race, the Profound Dragon Clan was also an Immortal Dao Lineage that had produced a Great Emperor. Now, a Prodigy from the clan was actually intercepting the Taiyi Holy Land outside the Imperial City. This was a complete tearing off of the mask!

With the Profound Dragon blocking the sky, the women on the warship all turned pale, suppressed by the shocking Dragon might, and were almost unable to move.

Only Jiang Luoyi and Qin Mengli, who had the highest Realms, could barely move, but they had no power to fight back.

The gap between the two sides was simply too great, a full major Realm apart.

This black Dragon was clearly radiating the pressure of the God King Realm!

Despite the huge difference in strength, the women showed no sign of fear. They represented not only the forces behind them but also Xu Jinhuan's face.

They absolutely could not shrink back!

Seeing that his pressure failed to cause fear, a flash of annoyance appeared in the Profound Dragon Prodigy's eyes.

That blood-stained mouth, large enough to swallow mountains and the moon, opened again. A thick, fishy stench suddenly sprayed out. Wherever it passed, it was extremely icy, and even the space was frozen.

Profound Dragon Breath!

Roar!

The frozen space shattered instantly, turning into countless fragile fragments that scattered.

The broken ice shards, wrapped in an invincible freezing power, pierced through the Void Realm like ten thousand arrows fired at once. The sharp attack was enough to make a Peak Heavenly God Realm Cultivator drink hatred on the spot!

However, just as this heaven-destroying breath was about to hit the warship, it suddenly froze in the Void Realm, unable to advance an inch, as if solidified.

The next moment, a figure like an immortal descending to the mortal world slowly walked out of the warship's main cabin. Clad in white as snow, with a tall and straight posture, and surrounded by faint immortal light, it was none other than Xu Jinhuan.

He raised his hand gently, and the power of Law around him erupted suddenly. Brilliant immortal light shot into the sky, reflecting the Nine Heavens.

That Profound Dragon Breath, which was enough to destroy a Peak Heavenly God Realm expert, melted away quietly under this immortal light like snow, leaving no trace behind, as if it had never existed.

After doing all this, Xu Jinhuan raised his eyes to look at the ten-thousand-foot giant Dragon above his head, his expression calm and waveless, as if he were looking at an ant.

"Profound Dragon Holy Emperor?"

Xu Jinhuan's voice was not loud but incomparably clear, piercing through the endless pressure and spreading clearly in all directions,

"What kind of thing is he, to dare to cancel my qualifications?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was in an uproar!

"As expected of a Holy Land Prodigy, daring to despise the Red Dragon Holy Emperor like this. This Supreme Xu is indeed as arrogant as the rumors say!"

"It seems the Profound Dragon Clan has kicked an iron plate this time. They've lost so much face!"

"However, the many Saint-level powerhouses of the Dragon Clan have always been of one mind. This Prodigy of the Taiyi Holy Land acting so domineeringly will likely bring big trouble to the Holy Land..."

The ten-thousand-foot Profound Dragon was even more furious. Rage burned in its Dragon eyes, and the cold air in its mouth suddenly skyrocketed.

As a noble Dragon Clan Prodigy, wherever he went, he was high and above, enjoying the worship of all spirits. How had he ever experienced such humiliation?

"You arrogant brat! Today I will let you know that the might of my Dragon Clan cannot be provoked!"

The Profound Dragon's body began to dance wildly. Above the Nine Heavens, the wind and clouds changed color, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and endless Yao power gathered into a Dragon shadow that covered the sky and sun.

This Dragon Clan Prodigy was clearly blinded by rage, ignoring the upcoming Primal secret treasure, and was going to use his full strength to suppress Xu Jinhuan!

Facing this thunderous attack, Xu Jinhuan's expression remained indifferent. His gaze, however, did not fall on the furious Profound Dragon, but slightly turned to look into the depths of the Void Realm in the direction of the Primal secret treasure.

It was as if he were looking across space at some hidden existence.

Then, he smiled contemptuously.

"To actually incite a God King Realm Prodigy to test my strength, you are really willing..."

Now his Heavy Pupils had long since turned reality from illusion and could see through the falsehood of all things. How could he not see that this Profound Dragon was just a clown?

There was clearly another Dragon Clan Prodigy manipulating things from the shadows, letting this greenhorn come to test his true combat power.

This seemingly reckless provocation was actually a carefully planned test.

To be able to find an invisible hand behind it, a chessboard that encompassed heaven and earth.

Since you dare to let a pawn test me, then don't blame me for being impolite.

Xu Jinhuan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the Profound Dragon in front of him again, speaking slowly.

"My Human Race believes that courtesy demands reciprocity. Since you have attacked me, then take one punch from me. If you can survive, I will not pursue the crime of today's offense."

After speaking, he struck instantly.

In an instant, Chaos Power and Eternal Law swirled and gathered on his fist. A heaven-destroying aura suddenly erupted, causing the entire world to lose its color!

Boom!

With one punch thrown, there was no earth-shattering omen, but a power that transcended the Laws of heaven and earth swept out.

"You dare!?"

Feeling the power contained in this punch, the Profound Dragon was immediately terrified.

He did not expect that Xu Jinhuan would actually dare to make a move against him.

He even more did not expect that this brat who suddenly appeared from the Human Race would have such terrifying strength!

The Profound Dragon's body danced wildly, and the Ice Law and Speed Law were driven to the extreme, trying to dodge this punch.

But he failed.

Under this punch, the space around him seemed to have solidified, turning into the most terrifying mud swamp, making him unable to move, and even moving an inch of space became an extravagance.

He couldn't dodge at all!

Bang!

The punch wrapped in Chaos Power and Eternal Law fell heavily, hitting the giant Dragon's head.

The Profound Dragon's body, which covered the sky and sun, was as fragile as paper in front of this punch. It couldn't even let out a scream before it was pierced through by the fist energy on the spot. A large amount of flesh and blood turned into a sky full of blood mist and scattered, and countless broken scales flew everywhere.
