Chapter 949: Divine Dragons

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Tengyun’s chariot flew ahead of Ling Dynasty’s army, heading toward Dong Hai that was about a hundred miles away. The luxurious chariot of the emperor was hundreds of feet wide and driven by three Gold Immortals. The guards clustered around it were thirty-six Supreme Oracles, eighteen Primordial Immortals, and eighteen generals who had reached the realm of Third Pangu Heaven by practicing the cultivation techniques of the human race.

Rare and precious treasures were displayed in the chariot, and dozens of beautiful maidservants waited obediently in a corner. The air rang with a graceful immortal tune and was filled with a faint flowery scent. Outside, eighteen golden dragons pulled the chariot, each having silver whiskers and golden horns; their five claws opened and closed while gleaming sharply. From the look of it, they were all pure-blooded, superior-grade true dragons who possessed the cultivation base of Gold Immortals.

At the sight of such flamboyance and splendor, Wu Qi’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

The chariot came to a slow stop when it was some sixty miles from Dong Hai. “King of Dong Hai, care to come here and meet with me?” Zhang Tengyuna’s voice came drifting from across the distance.

Wu Qi considered for a moment. He was holding Princess Zhang Le’s hand and about to fly out to talk to Zhang Tengyun when Ao Buzun stopped him. “Master, this will not do. Don’t you think it is a disgrace to Dong Hai if you two fly out alone like this?”

Wu Qi stared at Ao Buzun while blinking, and asked in surprise, “What do you propose then?”

Ao Buzun whistled complacently. With that, a square of decks at the rear of the flagship slowly swung open, and from inside came flying out a chariot that made Wu Qi gape and Princess Zhang Le roll her eyes. As soon as the chariot appeared, all the courtiers of Dong Hai sucked in a cold breath. No one knew when Ao Buzun had prepared such a big fella that could only be described as grandiose.

The chariot itself was nothing special, a huge and square thing. Standing three stories tall, the vehicle was entirely forged with the materials that were used to forge Supreme Towers. Countless images of gods, ghosts, and demons were carved across its black surface, each looking as lively as their real counterparts. The topmost story housed the thrones for Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le, which were large enough for seven to eight people to roll on them at the same time.

The two stories below it stood 108 tall and burly Long Bo men in heavy armor, each possessing the cultivation base of a peak-level Gold Immortal. With their freakish innate talents, these warriors could almost fight against Dao Reasoning experts who had just stepped into the realm of Primordial, and if they were to fight in close quarter combats, it was very likely that those Primordial Immortals would be the one who would suffer losses.

The drivers were three Feathermen who were also peak-level Gold Immortals. They were tall, and their feathers were golden. They made a spectacular sight whenever they spread their massive wings, looking like the legendary rocs.

The most exaggerated thing was that the chariot was pulled by 3,600 dragons whose bodies were as white as jade. Each of the jade dragons was less than three feet long, but the dragon aura emanated from them was extremely pure and strong, and they all possessed the cultivation base of an eighteenth-tier Gold Immortal.

And there was one more thing that shocked the crowd. Ordinary dragons had four legs, each with three claws; heaven dragons had four claws, and true dragons had five. According to the legend, the few most senior elders of the dragons today, who were true dragons, each had five legs with five claws. It signified that their bloodline was pure.

But, each of these 3,600 little jade dragons had seven legs with seven claws, which made them look very different from ordinary dragons. In fact, they did not even look like dragons. However, only the true almighty experts in the universe, those figures who existed from the ancient times to today, knew that the Ancestral Dragon had nine legs with nine claws, and that the more legs and claws a dragon had, the purer his bloodline was.

If these little jade dragons with seven legs and seven claws visited the nests of today’s dragons, all their elders would certainly bow and hail them as Patriarchs. Dragons attached great importance to seniority, and these little dragons were definitely figures as senior as the ancestors for today’s dragons.

Ao Buzun pointed triumphantly at those little jade dragons pulling the chariot while laughing, and gave Immortal Jadebone a slap on her hip. She was so mad that she put her fingers into the soft flesh on his waist and twisted. “Master, while you were hard at work out there over the past few years, I have...hehe...” said Ao Buzun proudly.

Over the past few years, when Wu Qi was working hard outside, Ao Buzun dwelt in the spirit cave beneath Dong Hai City, putting his whole heart into breeding offspring with Immortal Jadebone. The iron rule of ‘the stronger the living being, the more difficult he or she was to reproduce’ was useless against Ao Buzun. With the help of Dark Yin Celestial Tower’s time acceleration ability, he had spent some ten thousand years to produce tens of thousands of offspring with Immortal Jadebone.

After that, these offspring bred with the flood dragons in Dong Hai and produced a huge number of dragons. With Ao Buzun’s blood flowing in their veins, these offspring’s bloodline was purer than the few oldest elders of today’s dragons.

These 3,600 little jade dragons were the latest offspring of Ao Buzun and Immortal Jadebone. Ao Buzun’s innate ability was too strong, and Immortal Jadebone’s energy essence was vigorous as well, so they had produced 3,600 dragon eggs in one go. After hatching for about a hundred years, they brought themselves 3,600 little dragons who were translucent and looked as if they were carved of the finest jade.

Wu Qi had no idea that Ao Buzun had accomplished such a feat in the recent years. As he listened to Ao Buzun boasting about his achievement, he felt his fingertips going numb. While trembling, he pointed at Ao Buzun and snapped, “Damnit! How could you ask your sons to pull the chariot?” Had it not been because of their many years of friendship, Wu Qi would have killed him now with a kick.

Ao Buzun looked at Wu Qi and said plausibly, “I have so many descendants that I can barely count them, and many of them are pulling chariots for others or becoming mounts. Well, even though they are my sons, can’t I make them pull the chariot for you? After all, didn’t you make me your mount in those years? In any case, we can’t disgrace ourselves. Look at that guy, he is using eighteen true dragons to pull his chariot. So, why can’t we pull our chariot with 3,600 divine dragons?”

Wu Qi blinked, and could not digest the given reason for a long moment. While laughing, Ao Buzun grabbed him and put him onto the throne in the chariot.

Helpless, Wu Qi turned to give Immortal Jadebone a look, but saw her laughing there. Then, he realized that she was, after all, a fiend immortal; motherly love was not a thing for someone like her.

Glancing at the 3,600 little jade dragons who were less than three feet long, Wu Qi could not help but feel pity for them. Poor kids, how could they have such a pair of freakish parents!

Huang Liang brought a team of generals with the strongest cultivation base and clustered around the extremely exaggerated chariot. At the shout of the three Feathermen drivers, all 3,600 jade dragons breathed clouds at the same time and began pulling the chariot forward. Sitting in his throne, Wu Qi overheard Ao Buzun and Immortal Jadebone whispering to each other, “What do you think of my idea? When Master is not using this chariot, we can go out with it and ask those little guys to pull it for us. How amazing will that be?”

Wu Qi nearly coughed up blood. So, Ao Buzun built this chariot for himself?

Immortal Jadebone chuckled satisfyingly and whispered, “I like it very much! This chariot is at least a hundred times more magnificent than the chariots of the few emperors in the Fiend Realm...And, it is only reasonable for those little fellas to pull the chariot for us. After all, I’ve worked so hard to bring them up!”

Sitting beside Wu Qi, Princess Zhang Le had her face twitching in fury. She shut her eyes and her hearing, trying her best to resist the urge to throw Ao Buzun and Immortal Jadebone to the ground and beat them bloody. With a child in her belly now, Princess Zhang Le was full of maternal passion, and she could hardly accept the fact that the couples were torturing their own children.

She had decided not to return the chariot to Ao Buzun, and planned to raise the 3,600 cute little dragons herself. She would not do that if they were some ugly black dragons or fiend dragons, but how could she let Ao Buzun torture these cute little jade dragons?

3,600 little jade dragons formed a column of 180 rows of 20, pulling the chariot toward Zhang Tengyun. They came to a slow halt at a distance of about a mile from Zhang Tengyun.

As soon as Zhang Tengyun, who was drinking wine from a jade cup, saw the jade dragons, his fingers loosened and the cup fell to the ground with a clang.

The eighteen true dragons pulling his chariot reacted even faster. They had long retracted their clouds and dazzling light, pulled back their four legs, and bowed their huge heads, paying their biggest respect to these higher-ups of the dragons.

Liu Bang’s eyes grew wide as he stared at those little jade dragons with seven legs and seven claws. His body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. He knew that only the legendary divine dragons of the purest bloodline could have such features. Countless Apocalypses had severely impacted the dragons, and countless pure-blooded divine dragons had fallen. To maintain their bloodline, the surviving dragons were forced to breed with all kinds of flood dragons or even serpents. As a result, divine dragons were extremely rare today.

3,600 divine dragons were used to pull a chariot? Liu Bang was shivering all over. Even the few Dao Patriarchs were not so exaggerated! And, even if they wished to use divine dragons to pull their chariots, they could never find so many pure-blooded divine dragons!

Zhang Tengyun and Liu Bang both looked at Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le in the chariot at the same time. The more they looked at them, the more they thought they were mysterious and unfathomable.

Standing next to Wu Qi, Ao Buzun moved his lower body back and forth excitedly as he chuckled and said in a low voice, “Surprised? Shocked? I bet you must be scared out of your wits by so many divine dragons, eh? Hehe, damn it! Immortal Jadebone, how much do you think they are willing to offer for a pure-blooded divine dragon?”

Wu Qi could not take it anymore. He performed a hand incantation gesture and tightly sealed the couple’s mouths, stopping them from moving and talking.

How did these two freaks get together?

With a cold snort, Wu Qi cupped his fist at Zhang Tengyun and said, “Greetings, the emperor of Ling Dynasty!”

Zhang Tengyun glanced at Princess Zhang Le, his eyes flashing with lust.

After that, he focused all his attention on the 3,600 little jade dragons. Staring at Wu Qi, he said in a low voice, “King of Dong Hai, I believe these little dragons have not reached their adulthood, right? How could you make them pull your chariot? Well, if I am interested in buying them, I wonder if you would like to sell them?”

Wu Qi nearly coughed blood from the question. He grunted sulkily and said, “They are not for sale!”

Zhang Tengyun wanted to say something again, but Wu Qi impatiently interrupted him with a snap, “Say what you want but say it quickly so we can start the war!”

A surge of anger rose in Zhang Tengyun’s heart as he sneered and slowly rose to his feet.
