Chapter 254: 5th Generation: The Rise and Fall of the Dragon Race Lies with 1 Person!_2
He is often jokingly called the eternal second place by many cultivators, but his formidable power is undeniable.
Especially in the past two years.
The cultivation of the Taichu Saint Son has become increasingly unfathomable, even the Kunpeng Inheritor is no longer a match!
If the other top hundred celestial prides are as dazzling as stars.
Then the two of them are the sun and moon shining brightest under the starry sky!
For many cultivators.
To witness their duel firsthand is something they can boast about for a lifetime!
So when the lot-drawing just ended.
This news swept across the entire Profound Realm like a storm.
All kinds of factions, big and small, learned about it instantly!
"Taichu Saint Son VS Kunpeng Inheritor!"
"The battle for the top of the Celestial Pride List, now this is a true pinnacle duel!"
"I didn't expect that this time's Dragon Clan suitor selection would let these two face off."
"No way, I must go, this is bound to be the most dazzling celestial pride battle in ten thousand years, sure to make it into the annals of history!"
Numerous cultivators went crazy, each displaying their divine techniques, trying to reach the True Dragon Ancestral Star in the shortest time possible.
And Long Zhan knew very well the far-reaching impact of this battle.
To allow them to adjust their status, so they can bring their peak power to the duel.
He swung his big hand and announced the competition would be held three days later.
After all, the Kunpeng Inheritor was injured, hard to exert full power.
In contrast, the Taichu Saint Son hadn't made a move at all from start to finish.
If they were to battle now, it's feared the Kunpeng Inheritor wouldn't even have a ten percent chance of winning.
But in the eyes of the Profound Celestial Sword Master, Long Zhan's move was deliberately targeting the Taichu Saint Son.
The two argued fiercely, almost broke into a fight on the spot.
Amidst the tension.
The Taichu Ancestor, who had been sitting beside with eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.
As he stood up, the entire venue fell silent.
"No worries, in three days, the Saint Son will sweep away all opponents."
The Taichu Ancestor said indifferently, his gaze unintentionally swept towards Lu Yuan standing in the distance.
The suitor selection event concluded temporarily, and everyone dispersed.
But after everyone left, they remained excited, eagerly anticipating the epic duel in three days!
"Phew!"
"It's finally over."
Most of the people had left; Lu Yuan forced himself off the arena.
Only then did he let out a long breath, his body swaying, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, a slender jade hand held him up in time.
"Brother Lu Yuan, are you alright?"
Liu Mingyan supported Lu Yuan, completely ignoring the filth and blood on him.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired."
Lu Yuan replied wearily, even his words were feeble.
He had just managed to deal with the Infinite Mountain attack, then rushed to the True Dragon Ancestral Star, battling with various celestial prides without a moment's rest.
Luckily, Long Zhan postponed the suitor selection event.
Otherwise, with his current exhausted status, he really wasn't a match for the Taichu Saint Son.
Under Liu Mingyan's guidance.
Lu Yuan randomly found a room.
After a simple wash, he fell asleep right away.
He slept for an entire day and night before slowly waking up.
When Lu Yuan opened his eyes, he found a tall figure standing by the bedside, startling him greatly.
"Father-in-law, why are you here?"
"You're finally awake?"
"I just went to see that girl Su Yue, her True Blood was taken, her power severely damaged, she surely can't defeat the Taichu Saint Son."
Long Zhan wasted no words and went straight to the point.
"If it were you, how confident are you?"
"Fifty percent."
Lu Yuan thought for a moment before conservatively speaking.
"Fifty percent? Are you sure?"
But Long Zhan couldn't believe it upon hearing this answer, raising his eyebrow in surprise.
According to Su Yue.
The Taichu Saint Son once had a unique encounter, his Innate Dao Body had transformed into some Supreme Physique capable of taking myriad bloodlines for his own use.
Moreover, with the Kunpeng True Blood refined, his power would become even more terrifying.
Even Su Yue at her peak might not be a match.
Yet Lu Yuan claimed he had a fifty percent chance of defeating the Taichu Saint Son?
Under Long Zhan's incredulous gaze, Lu Yuan nodded solemnly.
Even though he had never fought the Taichu Saint Son before.
Relying on Qi Mechanism sensing, he was very clear this person was extremely dangerous.
Especially the aura on the Taichu Saint Son made him feel a long-lost sense of threat!
But considering the Celestial God Ant is an ultimate bloodline on par with the Ancient True Dragon.
If combined with the Celestial Ant Divine Skill, the Celestial God Battle Body evolved from the True Dragon Battle Body, and battle experience and secret techniques accumulated through multiple reincarnations.
He had at least a ninety percent chance to defeat the Taichu Saint Son!
But for the sake of caution, Lu Yuan only said fifty percent.
"Father-in-law, I meant killing, not just defeating."
Lu Yuan corrected.
Hearing this, Long Zhan was dumbfounded.
If he didn't know Lu Yuan's character, he'd surely think he was speaking nonsense.
The Taichu Holy Land is aggressive, determined to acquire the Ancient True Dragon Bloodline.
Unless someone defeats the Taichu Saint Son openly, if Yan'Er falls into their hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This matter had worried him so much that his hair was greying.
And now Lu Yuan was saying.
He actually had a fifty percent chance of killing the Taichu Saint Son?
Defeating and killing, although only one word apart.
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth!
Just like the Profound Celestial Sword Master, a dignified Venerable Strong Person, who shows no respect to the Dragon Race, always opposing Long Zhan.
Yet he solely looks up to the Taichu Ancestor, his attitude is so respectful?
Because a Venerable is hard to kill.
Even an ancient and withered Ancient Venerable is nearly impossible to kill.
Long Zhan being a contemporary Venerable, even at peak strength.
At best he can only defeat the Profound Celestial Sword Master, but cannot kill a being of the same level.
But the Taichu Ancestor truly has the strength to kill a Venerable!
The superiority of their strength is clear!
It is for this reason.
No one dares show disrespect to the Taichu Ancestor.
Whenever significant events occur, when multiple Venerables argue endlessly, he holds the decisive power to make the final decision!
The same applies to other cultivators.
Whether it's the Kunpeng Inheritor or the Taichu Saint Son, they are both contemporary unparalleled celestial prides.
No matter what means they use, it's very difficult to completely kill the other.
Just like when the Kunpeng Inheritor was exploring a relic, the Taichu Saint Son launched a surprise attack.
But even with all calculations, he could only wound the Kunpeng Inheritor, watching him escape wounded.
But what did Lu Yuan just say?
He actually had a fifty percent chance of killing the Taichu Saint Son?
"Are you really confident in killing the Taichu Saint Son?"
"Father-in-law, rest assured, I speak without falsity."
Lu Yuan nodded helplessly.
However, being able to kill is one thing, daring to kill is another.
After all, with so many Venerable Strong People watching, if he truly dared to kill the Taichu Saint Son publicly, he'd probably be crushed into meat paste instantly.
Long Zhan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, after repeated confirmation, he finally dared to believe Lu Yuan wasn't joking.
After calming down.
He looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes flickering, a particularly crazy idea slowly forming in his mind.
"I suppose you know, the physique of the Taichu Saint Son is a bit strange."
"Upon the opening of the Supreme Divine Hall, if he becomes a contemporary Venerable, I fear the entire Dragon Race, except Yan'Er, will suffer greatly."
Long Zhan said gravely.
"Father-in-law, what do you mean?"
Lu Yuan vaguely understood his plan.
However, to kill a Holy Land Inheritor in public, wouldn't that be too shocking?
Even though he had done such things before.
This time it's different.
Aside from other powerful figures, several Venerables will be watching!
"Just do it!"
"You don't have to worry about the Taichu Holy Land, I'll hold off the Taichu Ancestor for you."
Long Zhan gritted his teeth, demonstrating the courage of a contemporary Venerable.
This is a wager risking the entire Dragon Race along with his own life and soul!
The rise and fall of the Dragon Race rests on Lu Yuan's shoulders.
This endeavor can only succeed, not fail!
Otherwise, the entire Dragon Race will fall into eternal damnation.
Not only will the race be annihilated, but even all traces of its existence will be completely erased!
