NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1076: Four-star King
After finishing the business, the Golden Saint Emperor and others immediately returned to the Yellow Dragon Clan.
"Today's events, you should act as if nothing happened, as if you know nothing. If there are any flaws in the plan, you will be held accountable."
The Golden Saint Emperor sternly spoke to the other members of the Dragon Clan, releasing his emperor's pressure completely and observing them carefully. If there was anything unusual about their behavior, the Golden Saint Emperor would not let them leave easily.
"Yes, sir."
The members of the Dragon Clan responded.
This matter is crucial, and if succeeded, it would greatly benefit the Yellow Dragon Clan; they dare not cause trouble.
"To deal with Situ Lin Yu, only his involvement can put me at ease."
The Golden Saint Emperor's figure flashed and disappeared.
The next moment, he arrived at a quiet and cold palace.
"What brings the Golden Saint Emperor here?"
As the Golden Saint Emperor arrived, a voice came from inside the palace.
Immediately.
Whoosh!
A giant dark yellow dragon flew out of the palace, with eighteen massive wounds on its body, a terrifying sight.
"Huang Zhuohong, I have an important task for you."
The Golden Saint Emperor spoke with a calm demeanor.
Hundreds of years ago, Huang Zhuohong was also a prodigy of the Yellow Dragon Clan. However, at that time, he encountered the human Situ Lin Yu, who severely injured him, nearly resulting in his death.
Huang Zhuohong survived, seeking revenge. But his foundation was damaged, making it difficult to break through to the Xuanming Realm.
Yet Huang Zhuohong did not give up, and after secluded training for hundreds of years, he broke through and condensed the fourth Primordial Power Star, becoming a "Four-star King."
"Please speak your mind."
After the Golden Saint Emperor explained everything, the dark yellow dragon "Huang Zhuohong" fell into deep thought.
He didn't rashly agree due to his grudge with Situ Lin Yu.
Teaming up with the Blood Race inherently carried some risks.
But here in the Qianyuan Realm, the Dragon Clan was the strongest force, and the Blood Race was estimated to be only a few, possibly from other realms, who dared not overtly appear.
"I will report this matter to the Dragon Emperor and borrow the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown. As long as there are no Xuanming Realm intrusions from the Blood Race, with your capabilities, nothing will go wrong, and you might even use the power of the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown to annihilate the Blood Race!"
The Golden Saint Emperor continued.
"My lord, didn't you say that you rejected the Blood Race's proposal and that we wouldn't take out the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown..."
Huang Zhuohong showed a hint of confusion, but soon understood: "Is my lord doing this to lower the Blood Race's guard?"
"That's right, they think we haven't taken out the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown, but in reality, it's different. If everything goes smoothly, you won't need to use this treasure..."
The Golden Saint Emperor's gaze was profound.
If everything ends smoothly, Huang Zhuohong only needs to unveil the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown at the last moment to wipe out the Blood Race all at once.
"Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown is the Yellow Dragon Clan's treasure, even if the Blood Race truly targets it, they cannot succeed. Our Dragon Emperor masters a secret technique to summon the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown back at any time."
The Ten Thousand Dragon Crown is the treasure of the Yellow Dragon Clan, and any clan member would be tempted, even Huang Zhuohong might be.
The Golden Saint Emperor was concerned he might stray, so he gave a reminder.
"I will not disgrace the mission, sir."
Huang Zhuohong agreed.
The Golden Saint Emperor nodded and headed to the Dragon Palace.
The Ten Thousand Dragon Crown was in the hands of the Dragon Emperor. Only with his permission could it be borrowed.
After explaining everything clearly, the Dragon Emperor lent the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown.
The Dragon Emperor had grand ambitions, aiming to unify the Dragon Clan long ago, and with the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown refined by him, he could recall it at any time, giving him peace of mind to lend it out.
...
On this day, Chen Yu was cultivating the "Nine Revolutions Bright Star Technique" in the military camp.
"Holy General, someone at the northern military camp requests an audience."
The voice of the Deputy General sounded outside the hall.
Chen Yu opened his eyes, murmuring softly: "The cultivation is not far from the Mid-stage Peak."
In another two or three years, he was confident of breaking through.
"Let him in."
Chen Yu pondered, wasn't the northern military camp where Situ Lin Yu was stationed?
"Greet the Holy General, I am a disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect and a guard of Lord Situ."
A man in heavy armor knelt on one knee.
"Lord Situ has sent me personally to deliver a message, inviting you for a private meeting on an important matter."
The heavy-armored man said.
"What important matter?"
Chen Yu felt a bit puzzled.
"I do not know this either; it might be an important matter only for the lord."
The heavy-armored man shook his head.
Next, he told Chen Yu the location.
Shush!
Chen Yu left the military camp and headed towards the location mentioned by the heavy-armored man.
"I wonder what important matters Brother Situ has."
Chen Yu couldn't help but think inside.
The destination wasn't far, and he could reach it after flying for two hours.
"There are two beings!"
Chen Yu's mysterious heart sensed two life auras.
Did Situ Lin Yu bring others along?
Before Chen Yu could fully approach.
Bang!
The ground suddenly exploded, and two dark yellow streaks shot into the sky, heading straight for Chen Yu.
In this instant, all the hair on Chen Yu's body stood up, feeling a strong oppression, and he immediately halted his body.
"Dragon Clan!"
He saw the ones who came, not Situ Lin Yu, but Dragon Clan powerhouses.
One of the Dragon Clan members was a female with an extremely voluptuous figure, glaring at him with a savage expression.
The other Dragon Clan member looked somewhat elderly, with numerous glaring wounds, exuding an incredibly formidable pressure that filled the entire world.
The sense of danger came from this scar-covered Dragon Clan middle-aged member.
Bang!
Dragon Clan middle-aged "Huang Zhuohong" struck out with a palm, a gigantic dragon claw burst forth in the void, dragon force raging, crashing down.
As it was a surprise attack, the opponent's attack speed was extremely fast, and Chen Yu had no time to evade.
He activated the Astral Body, clenched his fist, and enveloped it with primordial power, punching forward.
This punch, he held nothing back.
Boom!
A mighty force erupted from his fist, as a brilliant light pillar clashed onto the dim yellow dragon claw, causing a violent explosion that shook the heavens.
Chen Yu staggered back dozens of steps, his blood energy boiling inside him.
"Such power... His cultivation isn't just at the Late Stage Star Condensation!"
Chen Yu's pupils contracted.
This was likely a "Four-star King" who surpassed the Late-stage Star Condensation Realm Peak.
"Oh?"
Huang Zhuohong made a soft sound of surprise.
No wonder the Blood Race wanted to ally with them; it was unexpected that a mere Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm human could withstand his strike unharmed.
"Chen Yu, meet your death!"
The female from the Dragon Clan tossed a huge hammer, which expanded to five or six hundred feet in size. The head of the massive hammer, carved as a fierce dragon head, slammed towards Chen Yu ferociously.
"What do you count as?"
Chen Yu coldly retorted.
Huang Zhuohong was a Four-star King, his strength incredible, enough to place him mid-tier in the "Heavenly Martial List."
But this female dragon's strength was merely Late Stage Star Condensation.
Boom!
Chen Yu clashed his fists upwards, radiating a brilliant silvery-white glow, swallowing the entire massive black hammer.
Boom!
The massive black hammer was sent flying by Chen Yu. The female dragon, connected with this mysterious weapon, was also affected; her mind was violently shaken, temporarily losing control over the artifact.
Chen Yu turned and fled; the Dragon Clan had sent people to ambush him here — they were clearly prepared.
There was no need for him to fight to the death against them. He only needed to convey a message and entangle the enemy for some time, waiting for reinforcements.
Just as Chen Yu was about to make his escape.
His mysterious heart sensed several life forces approaching, and he even felt several very familiar auras.
"Blood Race!"
Chen Yu hadn't expected to encounter the Blood Race in the Qianyuan Realm.
The Blood Race's target was certainly him.
Yet, where did these Blood Race members come from — the Blood Sea Realm or the main world?
However, the first to enter Chen Yu's Spiritual Sense was not the Blood Race, but Situ Lin Yu.
"Chen Yu?"
Situ Lin Yu also noticed Chen Yu and the Dragon Clan.
At this moment, the two instantly understood that the Dragon Clan had actually colluded with the Blood Race to attack both of them.
"What is going on?"
Huang Zhuohong coldly demanded.
It was supposed to be them handling Chen Yu and the Blood Race dealing with Situ Lin Yu.
Yet the Blood Race, with four people, couldn't trap Situ Lin Yu, allowing him to escape.
"This person's strength is not simple. A lapse allowed him to break out of the encirclement."
A man in black spoke.
He was precisely the Blood Peak King, who had refined four Primordial Power Stars and was a bona fide Four-star King!
Three others followed behind him, all of them Late Stage Star Condensation!
In fact, the Blood Peak King had done so intentionally to drain the Dragon Clan's strength and force them to reveal their trump card.
Although Huang Zhuohong claimed not to have brought the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown, the Blood Peak King did not believe him.
"Run."
Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu reached a consensus.
The enemy lineup was terrifying, with two Four-star Kings and four Late Stage Star Condensation!
An ordinary Late Stage Star Condensation would have long since perished.
Swish!
Chen Yu fully activated his Astral Body, aiding with the cosmic profound meanings, and shot out like a meteor, disappearing into the sky.
Situ Lin Yu was no ordinary person either; he was the reincarnation of the Emperor, and with his current cultivation, could even slightly perform battle techniques at the Emperor level.
Buzz!
A layer of dark mist rose from his body, gradually obscuring him as he flew away at incredible speed.
Neither the Dragon Clan nor the Blood Race was willing to exert too much effort, yet they also would not let Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu escape.
"The two from the Yellow Dragon Clan, use your methods quickly; delays are not in our favor."
The Blood Peak King said calmly.
"I think your Blood Race is here to cause trouble; four of you couldn't even stop Situ Lin Yu?"
Huang Zhuohong dismissed them.
Carrying the Ten Thousand Dragon Crown, he was brimming with confidence.
"It was purely a mistake earlier. To make up for it, let me stop them."
The Blood Peak King said, somewhat apologetically.
Boom!
The world around turned blood-red, and a massive, ferocious Blood Spider emerged surrounding the Blood Peak King.
"Blood Luo Earth Net!"
The spider flew into the sky, bursting fiercely, transforming into a giant web, covering a distance of three to four thousand feet.
Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu were right at the edge of the Blood Luo Earth Net.
The two immediately struck out, breaking the nearby blood-colored web, but the blood web instantly reconnected, as complete as before.
"Today, you will both die here!"
Huang Zhuohong shouted fiercely.
Whoosh!
He soared and transformed into a several-hundred-foot dark yellow giant dragon, lunging towards Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu.
Huang Zhuohong attacked with full strength, determined to take them down.
Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.
Star Pattern Robe!
Chen Yu's entire body surged with brilliance from his Star Acupoints, weaving a Star Robe on his body surface.
White Tiger Sacred Claw!
The platinum lines on his hands floated up, unleashing a mighty force, forming a pair of massive metallic claws, exuding the ancient dominant aura of a Holy Beast.
