Chapter 2244 Calamity at Thousand Dragon Dao Palace

The golden robed old man was so furious that his nose almost twisted out of shape. Being treated as mere prey by a dog was definitely the greatest humiliation he had ever endured!

When had a mere yellow mutt ever dared to act so arrogantly before him, a high and mighty Dragon Emperor?

He deserved to die!

However, as Big Yellow lunged at him, the golden-robed old man’s heart clenched and an inexplicable chill surged through him. He instinctively sensed danger—something was off!

Without the slightest hesitation, he struck back.

Boom!

The dragon power around him condensed into a massive golden wave, blotting out the sun and the sky. The golden-robed old man raised his five fingers, and the void suddenly exploded.

It was a true dragon claw capable of tearing the sky and crushing the stars into dust!

Big Yellow’s claw swept out with a fierce slap, as if a giant hammer had struck the heavens. The sky trembled, the earth quaked and a terrifying chaotic current erupted in all directions.

The golden robed old man grunted. The sheer force of the head-on clash sent him staggering backward through the air.

His expression dramatically changed, and when he looked at Big Yellow again, his gaze was no longer one of disdain but of utter shock. This mutt had turned out to be a peerless fierce character at the ninth realm Emperor Stage!

This was completely beyond his imagination. It was already rare to see a dog cultivating, but to reach the ninth realm Emperor Stage...was simply unheard of!

“Tsk, tsk, the qi and foundation of this old worm’s lineage are indeed far beyond those of ordinary creatures!” Big Yellow clicked its tongue in amazement.

The True Dragon Lineage reigned supreme above all clans and races, standing as the undisputed overlord among all primordial beings. Their bloodline, physique, strength, and foundation were all terrifying and far exceeding all other races and clans.

For instance, although the golden-robed old man was an eighth realm Emperor, he was far from an ordinary one. His strength and foundation were both terrifyingly deep.

Shua!

The Dao Lawless Blade shot through the air like a beam of bright light, landing in Big Yellow’s paw. Lin Xun’s voice rang out, “Big Yellow, we need to end this quickly, no time to waste.”

The big yellow dog caught the Dao Lawless Blade with its paws, its eyes gleaming with excitement. How could it not recognize that this treasure was one of the Kunlun’s nine Emperor weapons, which had unfathomable power and was ranked among the most supreme artifacts in existence!

“Today, I, Roaring Battle Emperor, will slay a dragon!” With an excited roar, Big Yellow charged forward, its paws wielding the Lawless Blade in a sweeping arc. The world was immediately swallowed by a blinding surge of white blade light.

After observing for a brief moment, Lin Xun turned away and continued to head towards the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the overwhelming magnificence and majesty of the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace. Divine light radiated from its towering structure, chaos qi swirling around it as it stood imposingly between heaven and earth, like the legendary palace of the gods—sacred and beyond compare.

Chi!

A flying sword hurtled toward Lin Xun, trailing a thousand-foot-long sword qi that left behind countless afterimages. Its crimson blade gleamed like a red purgatory, surging down from the sky with terrifying speed.

So fast!

The flying sword radiated a boundlessly terrifying aura, as if capable of cleaving through the sun, the moon and even the fabric of the heavens!

Just as it was about to strike Lin Xun—A spear, shimmering with dreamy starlight, shot through the air, and with a clang, the flying sword was completely blocked by the spear’s gleaming tip!

“Huh!” A surprised exclamation echoed from the distant mountains, and a young man with striking flaming purple hair and a handsome face emerged.

Despite his youthful appearance, his eyes were filled with the depth and vicissitudes of an ancient being.

At the same time, Xia Zhi, dressed in a black robe with the brim of her hat covering her face, gripped a bone spear tightly in her hand. Her gaze instantly locked onto the purple-haired young man with unwavering focus.

“Will you be okay?” asked Lin Xun.

“Yes.” Xia Zhi nodded calmly.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes scanned the purple-haired young man, quickly assessing that he was not as strong as the previous golden-robed old man, likely only at the seventh realm Emperor Stage. He reminded, “Big Yellow will come to collect you later, don’t fight too hard, alright?”

With that, Lin Xun turned around and left.

Time was running out. If all the old antiques of the True Dragon Lineage caught up and surrounded them, their situation would quickly become dire.

Boom!

Behind him, the thunderous clash of battle shook the heavens and earth.

Lin Xun didn’t need to turn around to know that Xia Zhi had already clashed with the purple-haired old monster who looked like a youngster.

“Ao Huanhai, if you don’t come out, then don’t blame me for breaking into the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace...” Lin Xun took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination.

......

Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.

In a magnificent palace hall, the second prince, third prince, fifth prince, sixth prince, eighth prince and the three dragon princesses were all gathered together.

“Fourth Elder Brother and Seventh Elder Brother have been captured, and the intruder is heading our way now. Second Elder Brother, what do you think we should do?” The relatively young Eighth Prince, Ao Yunchuan, asked anxiously. Currently, he was still only a supreme Saint-King.

“What are you afraid of? This is the Dragon Palace, the territory of our True Dragon Lineage. Since the construction of the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, no outsider has ever breached its gates!” A tall man in a white robe spoke leisurely, his tone laced with indifference.

His name was Ao Tianyu, the second prince of the True Dragon Clan. Reclining on a soft chair, he exuded an air of supreme confidence, his expression calm and disdainful. “Besides, do you think old antiques will sit back and allow an intruder to rampage all the way here?”

Laughter rippled through the hall.

A stunning woman in an emerald-green dress, exuding an air of quiet pride and restraint, spoke calmly, “Second Elder Brother is right, the intruder is as good as dead. The only thing we should worry about now is what happened to Fourth Elder Brother and Seventh Elder Brother.”

“They’ll definitely be fine. If that intruder dares to kill them, they would already be dead. But their Life Soul Lanterns are still burning strong. This proves that the intruder understands the risk of storming into the Dragon Palace. He’s keeping them alive as leverage, intending to use them as bargaining chips against us.” A towering and imposing man spoke in a deep voice, his eyes flashing like lightning and his beard and hair bristled like halberds.

He was Ao Tianhe, the fifth prince of the True Dragon Clan.

“This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, but as long as Fourth Younger Brother and Seventh Younger Brother are alive, they can still be rescued. What I find more curious is who in this True Dragon World would dare storm into our territory and act so brazenly?” The second prince Ao Tianyu said thoughtfully, “That intruder’s goal...what could it be?”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

At this moment, a dry, low voice suddenly echoed through the hall, “Young Masters and Young Ladies, please remain here and do not act recklessly. The intruder has already arrived at the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.”

Those words sent a wave of shock through all dragon princes and princesses!

The Dragon Palace was fortified with countless terrifying restrictions and each area was guarded by powerful old monsters of the True Dragon Clan. Under such circumstances, for an intruder to still force their way here was nothing short of astonishing!

“Don’t worry, with Sixth Uncle and the others here, nothing will happen.” Second Prince Ao Tianyu took a deep breath and reassured the others. “Let’s stay put. No one is allowed to act without permission until this matter is resolved!”

......

Outside of the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.

When Lin Xun arrived, he saw several figures already standing guard outside the palace. Men and women of varying appearances, each emanating an overwhelmingly terrifying aura.

At the forefront stood a thin-faced man clad in green, standing with his hands resting behind his back. His gray-brown eyes were the most striking. Within then, the sun and moon seemed to rise and fall, and endless scenes shifted and changed. He was no doubt a formidable figure.

Dragon Emperor Ruoxu!

He was a terrifying being at the ninth realm Emperor Stage, an old monster who had lived for countless years, radiating extreme grief and fury.

Standing beside him were four figures—three men and one woman—each an ancient figure from the True Dragon Lineage who were stationed at the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace year-round to guard it.

“A supreme Emperor came uninvited and slaughtered his way here. Quite impressive.” A man in silver armor spoke coldly, his voice carrying a murderous aura that painted a terrifying image of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as if the world was on the brink of collapsing.

Wind Obscuring Dragon Emperor!

“Speak, who are you and why have you come here?” A voice boomed like thunder. The speaker was a woman with a cold and stern expression. Her slender figure was shrouded in a mysterious blend of black and white light and shadow, and her aura exuded an icy, chilling presence.

Bloodstorm Dragon Emperor!

Like Wind Obscuring Dragon Emperor, she was an eighth realm Emperor.

The other two men—one had blood-red hair, fair skin and narrow eyes, holding the title of Serene Sea Dragon Emperor.

The other was an ancient figure, his face etched with age, and his eyes burned with eerie green flames. He was known as Astral Fiend Dragon Emperor.

They were both at the seventh realm Emperor Stage.

In the outside world, an Emperor at the ninth realm, two at the eighth realm, and two at the seventh realm would already be an astonishing force, capable of dominating an entire region and instilling fear in every sect!

Even in the Ancient Nebula Road, such a lineup would be enough to make the ancient orthodoxies tremble with fear.

Now, they stood before the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, directing all their oppressive qi toward Lin Xun alone!

“Where is Ao Huanhai?” Lin Xun’s dark eyes were calm and indifferent, devoid of emotions, which surprised Dragon Emperor Ruoxu and the others.

“Young man, you broke into the Dragon Palace just to seek the patriarch of our clan?” Dragon Emperor Ruoxu asked with a frown, “Then tell me, what is it that you want with him?”

“You’ll know when I see him.” Lin Xun replied calmly. He would not reveal his purpose so easily. If he gave them any notice or chance, they would likely hide Zhao Jingxuan beforehand.

“Arrogant! Who do you think you are to speak so boldly? Hand over the fourth and seventh princes now, or prepare to meet your death today!” Wind Obscuring Dragon Emperor bellowed, his voice shattering the void and causing the earth to tremble. His silver amor radiated a terrifying, blood-red light and shadow, exuding an aura of death and destruction.

If it were an ordinary character, this roar would have shattered their soul and killed them on the spot!

However, Lin Xun remained unaffected, as if nothing had happened, and spoke coldly, “I don’t have time for nonsense. If I don’t see Ao Huanhai today, then don’t blame me for destroying the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace.”

His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly through the heavens and earth.

Hearing this, Dragon Emperor Ruoxu, Wind Obscuring Dragon Emperor, Bloodstorm Dragon Emperor, Serene Sea Dragon Emperor and Astral Fiend Dragon Emperor, these five ancient beings were all all momentarily stunned.

Immediately, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter, their eyes filled with mockery and disdain, as if they had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

This was the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, the heart of the True Dragon Lineage! Since ancient times, no outsider had ever set foot inside!

And now, a mere supreme Emperor dared to proclaim he would force his way in? How was this any different from an absurd joke?
