Chapter 733: Chapter 732: True Dragon Ao Xing
As Yue Qingfeng appeared, Xiang Batian, the Green Lotus Hermit, and the Ancient Emperor instantly came before him.
Seeing the three people in front of him, Yue Qingfeng was also taken aback.
The aura of these individuals was not weaker than his own, especially the elder, whose presence was incomparably terrifying, like a black hole that made people dare not look directly at him.
"Fellow Taoist, have you come to meet the Hall Master?"
With the Ancient Emperor as a precedent, Xiang Batian and the Green Lotus Hermit had already guessed the origin of Yue Qingfeng.
However, Xiang Batian’s expression was not very good when he looked at Yue Qingfeng, a natural reaction of their physique.
"Yue Qingfeng pays respects to all fellow Taoists."
"I am here in response to the Hall Master’s summons," Yue Qingfeng said, nodding slightly.
Liu Zheng then appeared and probably introduced Yue Qingfeng to them.
Afterward, he returned to his room to continue drawing lots.
There were still ten chances left.
Chaos vortices appeared one after another, and strong beings emerged from within.
All of them were cultivators of the Saint Realm and the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Around the ninth draw, the chaos vortex suddenly emitted a brilliant divine light.
Liu Zheng’s heart tightened instantly, his intuition telling him it was the same kind of light that had appeared when the Ancient Emperor arrived.
Even the aura that radiated from the vortex felt no weaker than that of the Ancient Emperor, perhaps even a bit stronger.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for summoning the True Dragon Emperor Ao Xing."
"Would you like to summon him now?"
The system’s voice rang out, causing Liu Zheng’s pupils to constrict.
This was actually a Dragon Clan emperor.
His luck was incredibly good, having summoned a powerful being from the true Dragon Clan.
Ao Xing was not from this world, but his bloodline was identical to the Dragon Clan’s, incredibly powerful and even capable of contending with True Immortals.
The Dragon Clan was a fearsome race, well-known even in the Celestial Realm for their extraordinary natural gifts from birth.
"This time, my luck is truly defying the heavens."
Liu Zheng’s mouth curved upward, a Greatly Accomplished Supreme Dao Physique, an emperor, and a True Dragon Emperor now joined.
The addition of these three people meant they had gained three top-level combatants, especially Ao Xing and the Ancient Emperor, either of whom could face several Quasi-Emperors without trouble.
At the very least, if they did not unleash their life force, there was no pressure at all.
"Let Ao Xing come out, but remember to keep it low-key."
Liu Zheng spoke to the system.
Then Liu Zheng continued the final draw, his last chance.
Even if he didn’t draw anything significant, Liu Zheng could accept that.
...
In the Dark Palace, Ao Xing stood calmly in mid-air, clad in dark golden armor and adorned with two dragon horns on his head, his aura astonishingly oppressive.
"Hall Master!"
Coming before Liu Zheng, Ao Xing spoke respectfully.
Soon after, the Ancient Emperor and the others rushed over.
They looked curiously at Ao Xing, and Xiang Batian said in a low voice, "Such powerful vital energy. Even I am far inferior."
The Tyrant Body was considered to have the most terrifying physical body, its vital energy like a vast ocean, but now he had encountered someone who surpassed him; Ao Xing’s physical strength was unknowable, potentially many times stronger than his.
"This one is from the true Dragon Clan, equal in strength to me."
The Ancient Emperor recognized Ao Xing’s identity at a glance, which shocked Xiang Batian and the Green Lotus Hermit immensely.
This, too, was an emperor.
"This is Ao Xing, the emperor of the Dragon Clan, and from now on, he will be one of our companions," Liu Zheng said to them.
"Ao Xing greets all fellow Daoists," Ao Xing said, not coming across as arrogant as he greeted everyone.
"Xiang Batian greets the fellow Daoist."
"Myriad Tribes greet the fellow Daoist!"
...
The other four also nodded in turn.
"Pureblood members of the Dragon Clan, I never imagined we would actually encounter one," Xiang Batian said with a sigh.
Even in their world, pureblood members of the Dragon Clan were extremely rare, existing only in legends.
Their race was simply too against the natural order, yet exceedingly scarce in number.
A pureblood member of the Dragon Clan, upon birth, could sweep through an age, with no one in the whole world as their match.
Even at the Emperor Realm, they could battle with True Immortals.
The gap between emperors and True Immortals was vast.
Yet, the purebloods of the Dragon Clan could achieve this feat.
"Purebloods of the Dragon Clan may possess formidable talents, but they are still somewhat inferior to the Hall Master," Ao Xing shook his head and said with a smile.
He wasn’t proud; given the lineage of the pureblood Dragon Clan, they could nearly disregard any other race.
Yet in the presence of Liu Zheng, Ao Xing couldn’t claim his talent was unmatched; he could sense that Liu Zheng’s talent was especially formidable.
"The Hall Master’s talent is unmatched in the whole world," the Green Lotus Hermit remarked with a sense of wonder.
"Indeed!" the Quasi-Emperor of the Myriad Tribes also nodded in agreement.
All of them were invincible warriors, able to sweep through an age in their own worlds; naturally, their perspectives were not limited.
But they were genuinely astonished by Liu Zheng’s talent.
"Talent is just talent, and it doesn’t count for much; what matters is making it to the very end," Liu Zheng said with a slight smile, then did not pursue the topic further.
What use is great talent if it does not imply invincibility, if one is unable to transform that talent into combat power? Then it’s useless.
Simply put, that talent means you might go further than others, but whether you can actually reach that point is another matter altogether.
In front of a true powerhouse, no matter how great your talent is, when it’s time to die, you will die.
"Hall Master, the Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan have become more brazen recently. The Dragon Clan has even threatened on a planet to wipe out our Demon God Temple," Xiang Batian said with a glint of murderous intent in his eyes.
The terrifying aura caused the temperature around them to drop.
These underlings dared to spout such words, nearly driving Xiang Batian to act. If not for Liu Zheng’s orders to not act rashly, he probably would already be clashing with the Dragon Clan.
"They are just jumping clowns; there’s no need to get angry with them."
"Have all the information on these forces been gathered?"
Liu Zheng’s expression did not change much; let Long Zhan and the others make their arrogant proclamations for now, and take care of them slowly later.
"There are two forbidden lands, one is the Ancient River Forbidden Land, the other is the Starry Sky Forbidden Land; Heaven and the Starry Union are among them."
"We have already investigated their information clearly; now we’re just waiting for the Hall Master’s signal," they said.
The Demon God Temple had been collecting their information during this period. Since they dared to join the forbidden lands to attack them, Liu Zheng would definitely not let them off.
"That’s good, then. So, send out the word, let’s obliterate these forces."
"I want the whole starry sky to tremble, I want the Myriad Tribes to submit, and I want everyone to know that above this starry sky, only our Demon God Temple reigns."
"Whether they are ancient races or forbidden lands, if they dare to act against us, there will only be one outcome, and that is extermination!"
"Leave none alive, eliminate them root and branch, no one is an exception!"
