Dragon Tamer

“The person standing by the lake, walk across this cloud bridge.” At this moment, a voice as ethereal as it could be came from the depths of the Lake of Nothingness.

It was a man’s voice, clear yet icy cold. Emperor Zhao Yuan looked toward the distant Lake of Void with a startled gaze, almost unable to believe his own ears.

The Lake of Nothingness, wasn’t it the end?

No creature could cross it, let alone survive in those waters…

Unless it was a deity!

In front of Emperor Zhao Yuan, a cloud bridge formed from the Dark Cloud of Nothingness appeared, leading into the enigmatic mists. Hesitating for a moment, he eventually took a step and walked along this cloud bridge toward the sea that people had never set foot in.

The Lake of Nothingness was extremely clear. Looking down, one could see a more vast topography of the Mysterious Region, with immense and boundless mountains, surging rivers, and endlessly sacred forests. Some exuded an aura of peace and mystery, while others hinted at danger and malevolence. This landscape was fundamentally different from that of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent; it seemed as if the creatures inhabiting it, and the flora growing there, all possessed terrifying power!

Could the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, having fallen into such a world, truly remain unscathed?

Continuing to walk forward, Emperor Zhao Yuan didn’t know how far he had gone; the voice did not appear again. It seemed to be only a summon, leaving the choice to step onto the cloud bridge up to Emperor Zhao Yuan himself.

Unaware, Emperor Zhao Yuan found he had stepped onto the Sky Void, with the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent behind him—a piece of land that was not grand-looking—being soaked by the Lake of Nothingness, shrouded in Nothingness Fog, becoming blurrier the farther he walked.

Beneath his feet was an even more vast and bizarre region, which only became fully visible from this point, as if a mighty Heavenly Gravity was slowly pulling the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent toward God’s Holy Realm!

Wutu bordered Li Chuan.

Li Chuan bordered Supreme Court.

And now Supreme Court bordered the Mysterious Region.

Smaller worlds were continuously approaching larger ones…

What exactly was going on?

Why had the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent remained isolated for such an extended period?

Had something changed in this realm of heavens?

Emperor Zhao Yuan continued along the cloud bridge when he suddenly saw another cloud bridge opposite in the sky.

Two cloud bridges, both seemingly leading to one place, but whom had the other cloud bridge beckoned?

At last, the cloud bridge came to an end. It reached an extremely high Sky Dome, and from Emperor Zhao Yuan’s perspective, the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent looked like an island suspended in mid-air, surrounded by the Lake of Nothingness, although the lake was merely a tranquil layer of black.

The two cloud bridges had now converged. At the juncture, Emperor Zhao Yuan saw a person, standing there barefoot.

In the Realm of the Gods Sky Dome, where even a whole continent seemed diminutive, there stood a person. If he was not a deity, then what was he?

Emperor Zhao Yuan felt some fear, stepping forward without daring to make a sound.

At this moment, another person appeared on the other cloud bridge, wearing dazzling Golden Dragon Armor, his head adorned with a Crown, looking imposing and authoritative. His Cultivation Base appeared no less than his own, clearly someone who had touched the God Realm.

This man did not come from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

Looking from here, one could see that the cloud bridge led to the other end of the Realm of the Gods, and beyond, there lay a land about twice the size of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent. Like the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, it too was falling toward the Mysterious Region!

Were several continents all falling toward this region?

Despite having learned some of the world’s secrets from ancient texts, Emperor Zhao Yuan still found it hard to believe when seeing all this with his own eyes!

“What is the name of your continent?” asked the barefoot deity on the cloud bridge.

“Supreme… Supreme Court,” Emperor Zhao Yuan tried to seem neither servile nor overbearing.

“What is your name?” The barefoot deity turned around, his appearance young, but his eyes deep and dark, indicating his true age was not as it appeared.

“Zhao Yuan,” the Emperor replied.

Having asked these two questions, the person from the other cloud bridge also arrived. The Crowned Emperor with an uncertain expression looked first at the barefoot deity, then at Emperor Zhao Yuan.

“You are both the supreme rulers of your respective descending continents, correct?” said the barefoot deity.

Emperor Zhao Yuan and the other Crowned Emperor who was brought here nodded.

“Kneel, and let me step on the back of your heads, and then I will allow your continents to descend,” suddenly, the barefoot deity’s tone became mocking, and it was unclear if he was serious or merely joking.

But no sooner had the words fallen than Emperor Zhao Yuan knelt down.

The Crowned Emperor next to him hesitated for a moment, and realizing that the other was a deity with vast Divine Skills, reluctantly knelt down despite his unwillingness.

By then, Emperor Zhao Yuan had already prostrated himself, his head almost touching the feet of the barefoot deity.

“You hesitated,” the barefoot deity said with a smile to the other Crowned Emperor.

The Crowned Emperor lifted his gaze and felt a surge of terror upon seeing that smile.

“No matter, the billions of bent souls upon your continent will censure you for me.”

After these words, the barefoot deity lifted a foot and stepped in the direction where the cloud bridge led.

On the other end of the cloud bridge was the land where the Crowned Emperor came from, known as the Holy Quel Continent. From this vantage point, the Holy Quel Continent resembled a mountaintop floating in the distance.

“`

But as the barefoot divine being stomped down, a gigantic footprint appeared within the sky of the Holy Quel Continent!

The footprint, black as the Nothingness Fog, was so large that one could see it clearly even from tens of millions of miles apart, and it seemed that the tiny expanse of sky could hardly contain it!

“Boom!!!!!!!!”

With one stomp, the Holy Quel Continent, which was also flung toward the Mysterious Region like the Supreme Court, shattered to pieces. The continental mass of stellar magnitude violently split apart, creating a blast of light as intense as a sun exploding. Majestic cosmic waves swept across as the sky inhabitants looked up to suddenly see a wave of fiery ripples washing over, turning all the meteoric Tianshi surrounding it into translucent flames!!

In that moment, it was as if over a hundred suns had simultaneously emerged in the Sky Dome, their emitted energy violently impacting everything around, and even from such a far distance, one could feel the desolation, let alone the creatures upon that continent…

The Crowned Emperor’s face was pallid, lit by the scorching cosmic light, and even his soul seemed to have been extinguished along with it!

Then, the barefoot divine being lifted another foot and placed it on the back of Emperor Zhao Yuan’s head, trampling a few times, forcing Emperor Zhao Yuan’s face even further into the ground.

“Humiliation or obliteration, you may choose only one,” said the barefoot divine being.

“Not humiliation, this is the honor of the lower beings,” said Emperor Zhao Yuan, his head underfoot.

How could Zhao Yuan feel a shred of humiliation in this moment???

Inside, he was filled with a slight sense of relief mixed with his panic.

If he had not knelt down at the first opportunity and bent his head forward, then the divine being’s other foot would have stomped toward the Supreme Court!!

“I am called Hua Chou, one of the Seven Stars Divine Resentment, Tianshu,” he said.

“I favor my subjects who know gratitude. If your people in the Supreme Court survive, you may come and worship in my God Territory.”

“When your subjects see my god’s people, they must all worship.”

“As for how to worship, I have already taught you,” the divine being Hua Chou concluded.

After saying this, the divine being Hua Chou stepped directly on the back of Emperor Zhao Yuan’s head and walked ahead. Where he walked, a Cloud Bridge reaching toward the Realm of the Gods in the Sky Void formed, composed of the Nothingness Fog that would kill any living being upon contact.

“Oh, and since you’re so devout, a small reminder for your subjects: be wary of the night,” he added.

…

It took a very long time before Emperor Zhao Yuan dared to raise his head, dared to stand up.

He glanced at another person beside him of the same rank.

The other had already lost his soul, trembling all over, even weeping bitterly, like someone whose everything, including his dignity, had been thoroughly trampled upon.

Emperor Zhao Yuan hurriedly left.

While walking on the Cloud Bridge, he looked at the other piece of sky.

The Holy Quel Continent had not been thoroughly destroyed; it had turned into dozens of fragments, and like meteors, they were flying towards the Mysterious Region. As for how many creatures could survive without the cushioning of the Lake of Nothingness, it was extremely difficult to predict…

Besides, it seemed that both of their continents had fallen towards a particularly dangerous mountain within the Mysterious Region!

“Is this the wanton behavior of a god?” he wondered.

Powerful enough to shatter all beliefs, all understandings, reducing what the entire continent once regarded as supreme to a swarm of moths!

After narrowly escaping death, Emperor Zhao Yuan’s chest inexplicably surged with a burning passion, and his blood began to boil…

He had already touched the threshold of the divine, not seeking to be as powerful as the Seven Star God, but at the very least to be among the rank of the gods!!

This unfettered freedom, he desired it immensely!!

…

…

Ancient Mountain

Towering and majestic, behind the fog always stood an even taller mountain range, seemingly endless.

Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha were standing on a peak of Ancient Mountain at this moment, with the Sky Dome filled with dense flames, and meteorites covering the long sky, giving the feeling of being amidst an apocalypse.

“That… Is that a continent similar to the Supreme Court?” Zhu Minglang’s face was written with shock.

As Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha climbed this peak of Ancient Mountain, they saw another continent deep in the Sky Dome, parallel to the Supreme Court.

But suddenly, in the darkened heavens, a footprint appeared, smashing that continent to pieces. Following that, the entire sky was struck by a wave of flames, and the Supreme Court itself baked like Purgatory!!

If that divine footprint had fallen on the Supreme Court, it would have fragmented just as thoroughly, with life devastatingly extinguished.

Was it a god??

What exactly had the World Dragon Gate brought to the Supreme Court??

All of a sudden, Zhu Minglang remembered those subjects of Rui Country and Li Chuan, who joyfully called the Time Wave a god’s blessing and the World Dragon Gate a divine waterfall bestowed by heaven.

Could it be that behind this unfounded favor, there lay a profoundly terrifying insignificance? Moments ago, they had narrowly brushed past obliteration.
