Chapter 1163: Chapter 730: Celestial Dragon Nine Transformations (Part 4)
Ao Dongcheng looked at Gao Xuan on the Dharma Platform. Even Xuan Ye couldn’t gauge his depth, so there was no need to keep probing.
He said to Ao Ping beside him, "Activate the Grand Array, don’t waste any more time."
Ao Ping replied dismissively, "Big brother, let me go up and test this kid."
Ao Dongcheng glanced at this third brother, "Are you serious?"
"Of course."
Ao Ping said sternly, "Just relying on my Celestial Dragon Nine Transformations, so what if I die twice."
He paused, then said, "Gao Xuan is just one person. Our Dragon Court is filled with strong cultivators, yet we don’t dare to go up and fight him. Wouldn’t that make heroes all over the world laugh at us?"
Though Ao Ping’s name suggests peace, he is the most combative among the Dragon Race. To prevent Ao Ping from causing trouble everywhere, Ao Dongcheng always finds ways to keep him in seclusion.
This time out, Ao Ping was eager to find someone to spar with. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the right opportunity to fight.
Seeing Gao Xuan battle Xuan Ye, although Gao Xuan’s Space Divine Techniques were strong, breaking the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror and the Reincarnation Disc. To Ao Ping, he seemed merely this good.
Ao Dongcheng felt speechless with this brother, at such a critical time, he still thought about showing off, not even considering the weight of the opponent.
As the saying goes, ’A princely son does not sit beneath a dangerous wall.’
The Human Race understood this logic, yet Ao Ping apparently did not. Without clarifying the opponent’s true power, he relied on his decent cultivation and wanted to charge ahead recklessly.
It’s more like foolish arrogance rather than courage.
Ao Dongcheng felt a bit impatient in his heart, he asked again: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Seeing Ao Dongcheng’s displeased face, Ao Ping felt a bit unsettled. But he was unwilling to miss this excellent opportunity.
Slaying Gao Xuan in front of cultivators from all over the world, what a remarkable feat. Moreover, it would save the need to activate the Thunder Dragon Array and prevent the world’s cultivators from saying that the Dragon Race bullies with numbers.
For the Dragon Race, things like Spiritual Divine Artifacts and power are easily attained. Only reputation needs to be slowly accumulated.
Although he was also quite famous, in the eyes of the outside world, he was always just Ao Dongcheng’s brother.
Whenever someone mentions the Dragon Race, they mention Ao Dongcheng, seldom at all mentioning Ao Ping.
Moreover, Ao Ping was very dissatisfied with Ao Dongcheng’s tolerance. Merely a small Celestial Master, why make things so complicated? He had long wanted to eliminate Gao Xuan but Ao Dongcheng held him back; he dared not act rashly.
Now was a great opportunity to show himself publicly.
Ao Ping said to Ao Dongcheng, "Big brother, just let me give it a try."
"Then go ahead."
Ao Dongcheng no longer blocked him, he even handed Ao Ping a Golden Dragon Pearl: "This is the Celestial Dragon Pearl, passed down for millions of years by our East Sea Dragon Race. Every generation of Dragon King has refined this pearl. Use it."
The Celestial Dragon Pearl was honed through millions of refinements by past Dragon Kings, with immense and powerful energy. It was most suitable for the East Sea Dragon Race to wield.
Ao Ping cultivated the Celestial Dragon Nine Transformations, the highest Secret Technique of the East Sea Dragon Race.
This technique refines the true Celestial Dragon body, combining innate Divine Techniques with powerful physical form, infinitely variable. It is considered the purest and most top-notch cultivation path of the Dragon Race.
Ao Donghai also followed this path but he also trained in many secret techniques, much stronger than Ao Ping.
However, when comparing the Celestial Dragon Nine Transformations alone, Ao Donghai and Ao Ping were not that far apart. Added with this ancestral Celestial Dragon Pearl, it could greatly enhance Ao Ping’s power.
Ao Donghai didn’t expect Ao Ping to win, he just hoped with the Celestial Dragon Pearl in hand, Ao Ping could save his life.
If Ao Ping were unlucky and got killed, it would be his own fault. After Ao Ping’s death, the blood-stained Celestial Dragon Pearl would be perfect for triggering the Thunder Dragon Array.
With Ao Ping using his life and Divine Soul as the key, the Thunder Dragon Array could gain an additional seven-tenths of Evil Qi.
By that time, he would kill all the cultivators on Celestial Dragon Island, refining a Blood Evil Thunder Dragon.
With a Blood Evil Thunder Dragon, even Earth Immortals could be fought against.
What about Jiang Yuelan and Jin Xiang, so what if they carry the Celestial Mandate!
To forge a Blood Evil Thunder Dragon, a powerful True Dragon Dragon Spirit is required as the guide, though Ao Dongcheng was cold-hearted, he didn’t plan to use his two brothers to forge this treasure.
As long as the Thunder Dragon Array is triggered to kill Gao Xuan, eliminating many threatening strong cultivators, it would suffice.
Yet Ao Ping insisted on challenging Gao Xuan, Ao Dongcheng just allowed him to do so.
Success would naturally save countless troubles, and failure wouldn’t be a bad thing either.
Ao Ping had no idea about his elder brother’s vile intentions; getting the Celestial Dragon Pearl made him even more excited.
He swallowed the Celestial Dragon Pearl in one gulp and assured Ao Dongcheng, "Big brother, watch me crush that kid!"
Ao Dongcheng smiled, "Go ahead, big brother will cheer for you from below. Don’t disgrace our East Sea Dragon Race."
"Rest assured, big brother."
Ao Ping shouted fiercely at Gao Xuan: "Kid, don’t be arrogant, your third lord is coming."
Ao Ping stepped onto the Dharma Platform, arrogantly pointing at Gao Xuan: "You killed my nephew Ao Ming, you will pay with your life for him."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Qingxia, Celestial Fool, and others: "You bunch of Northern Province riffraff and weaklings, you will also accompany my nephew in the grave."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Ling, Chen Royal Court, and others’ expressions changed.
Even if they didn’t recognize Ao Ping, they could see that this person was a powerful figure in the Dragon Court.
The scene erupted in an uproar.
The incident of Gao Xuan killing Ao Ming spread widely; almost everyone had heard of it. But many were extremely skeptical.
Given the might of the East Sea Dragon Court, if Gao Xuan killed the Third Prince, how could the Dragon Court tolerate him?
Now with Ao Ping personally confirming it, everyone realized the rumors were true.
However, earlier Gao Xuan had already killed Xuan Ye. In comparison, Ao Ming being killed seemed entirely reasonable.
Gao Xuan shook his head slightly, "Wasn’t the matter of Ao Ming long over? You Dragon Race are so boring, if you want to fight, just fight, why need an excuse."
