Chapter 229: Immortal Grade!
Chen Xuan slightly raised his head, looking at Xia Yi in mid-air.
Though it was merely a silhouette, it emitted no aura whatsoever.
Yet just by standing there.
That silhouette conveyed the majesty of an Emperor.
In this regard, Zhou Zheng was inferior to him.
"Xia Yi, where is my grandson, Ao Tian!" Long Bo squinted, as this was his first time meeting the Emperor of the Human Realm.
At this moment, however, the disdain in his eyes was gone, replaced by a hint of solemnity.
"Are you talking about this little black dragon?"
Xia Yi extended a hand and slowly opened his palm.
A miniature black dragon appeared in his palm, its mouth constantly roaring, yet unable to produce a single sound.
"This...."
Seeing this, Chen Xuan was utterly shocked.
Because with Telepathy, he discovered that this miniature black dragon was of royal rank!
Suppressing a royal-ranked demon beast in one's hand.
"The strength of this Human Realm's Emperor... terrifyingly unparalleled!"
At this moment, Xia Yi's eyes flickered with fear.
"Ao Tian!"
Even as the Clan Leader of the Black Dragon Race, Long Bo's voice trembled slightly.
Over ten years!
Finally, he sees the grandson he nurtured with all his heart.
"Release Ao Tian!"
Long Bo glared with his dragon eyes, and at that moment, the aura of the top royal-ranked demon beast was fully unleashed, penetrating the sky.
Even the royal-ranked demon beasts around him were forced to retreat instantly under his powerful aura.
At this moment, within a kilometer of Long Bo, there was not a single member of the Demon Race.
Such was his strength, ranking among the top five even in the Demon Realm.
"Let go!"
With a roar, even those below, including Chen Xuan, felt their hearts hammered heavily.
Yet Xia Yi did not respond with words, but instead retaliated with action.
His fingers curled slightly toward his palm.
"Ah..."
A cry of agony unexpectedly emerged from the palm!
"Ah... Grandpa.... save me!"
Long Aotian! At this moment, he felt as if all his dragon bones had been shattered, his suffering twisted his dragon form together.
He wasn't certain if Xia Yi could kill him, but he surely could make him wish he were dead!
Even as a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius of the Black Dragon Race, possessing ancestral qualities, what arrogance, what dignity, he could no longer care about any of these things.
He turned to his grandfather Long Bo for help.
"Ao Tian!"
Long Bo's dragon eyes bulged, clear lines of blood visible, "Stop!"
He knew how high-minded his grandson was, that he would abandon his pride and publicly ask for help likely meant he truly couldn't endure it.
"Hmph!"
Xia Yi snorted coldly, then slightly loosened his fingers.
He looked calmly at Long Bo, "Speak, what price will you pay to redeem this genius grandson of yours?"
"What do you want?"
Long Bo suppressed the anger in his heart, fixed his eyes on him, and slowly uttered these words.
"The Demon Race must withdraw from the Human Realm and swear by the Demon Race not to enter the Human Realm within a hundred years!"
Xia Yi stated his terms.
But—
"Impossible!"
Unexpectedly, Long Bo refused outright, which even surprised the other royal families, especially the White Bear, who looked at him puzzled.
"Didn't the old Clan Leader say that this invasion on the Human Realm was to rescue Long Aotian?"
"Why... now refuse so bluntly?"
As for Qing Ning, she seemed to understand something, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
This fit Long Bo's character.
For one clan member, even his grandson, possessing ancestral qualities, to pay such a hefty price to persuade the royal families to attack the Human Realm was indeed unreasonable.
No wonder Grandma once told her, Long Bo surely had ulterior motives!
Now, it seemed so!
Only Xia Yi wasn't surprised by Long Bo's answer, instead, he chuckled lightly, looking at Long Aotian in his palm,
"You bet against me, thinking I couldn't kill you!"
"I originally thought, if trading your life for a hundred years of peace in the Human Realm, it would be worth it!"
"But you see, it seems your grandfather doesn't wish to save you either!"
"So, to fulfill the bet, I can only kill you! After all, the essence blood of a royal-ranked demon beast is quite enticing!"
"Therefore, die!"
His fingers suddenly clenched, turning into a fist.
"Ah...."
The miserable cry of Long Aotian lasted only for a breath before stopping abruptly!
The Black Dragon Race's once-in-ten-thousand-years genius, died!
Long Bo just watched his grandson die at Xia Yi's hands, without speaking, terrifyingly calm!
Even the White Bear, who stood a kilometer away, felt a chill all over at that moment.
He even involuntarily swallowed.
The look he gave Long Bo lacked the casualness of before; he wasn't foolish, conversely very discerning, what teasing Qing Ning was just a facade, he knew that now Long Bo was the most terrifying existence.
Top royal-ranked member of the Demon Race, truly enraged.
"The Human Race is finished!"
Yet after pondering it further, it seemed incorrect, regardless of the circumstances, the Human Race would face extinction!
"Long Bo, in the battle over the space rift, I have what you desire!"
After all, the two's strength was too overwhelming, if they truly battled with full force, no one here could survive the aftermath!
"Alright!"
Long Bo's hoarse voice carried endless fury, "I'll be waiting for you at the space rift!"
With a punch, his tremendous strength directly blasted a hundred-meter wide rift in the Human Realm's space, turning into a shadow and flying into the rift.
Yet at this moment,
Xia Yi didn't rush into the space rift, but instead turned around to look at the crowd below from the Human Race.
He slowly spoke,
"I leave this to you three."
Everyone knew that he was referring to Xia Lingyu, Zhou Zheng, and Chen Xuan!
"It's Father!"
Xia Lingyu's eyes showed a worried look, wanting to say 'be careful', but she dared not speak.
As for Zhou Zheng, he just nodded slightly, but his eyes were extremely resolute.
Chen Xuan, however, spoke with a very respectful tone, "Thank you very much!"
Although he didn't understand what he had done over the years, he knew one thing: an emperor with such responsibility is definitely a wise ruler.
"Hehe!"
Xia Yi chuckled softly, not expecting that someone would understand him.
Over the years, he had faced doubts since ascending the throne and was later scorned by those from the martial world. In recent years, he was even called a tyrant.
And he was just a young lad of about twenty!
Truly....
Then he cast out two streams of black light, aiming directly at Chen Xuan, and subsequently tore through space with both hands to enter the spatial rift.
"This is the essence blood of a king-level black dragon, enough to restore your 'Luohua' to its original form!"
Xia Yi's voice echoed in Chen Xuan's ear.
"Activate the array!"
Zhou Zheng instantly reached the top of the Taihe Palace, shouting loudly.
A phoenix's cry then resounded through the heavens and earth as a golden phoenix phantom, several thousand meters long, shot skyward from the Taihe Palace and spread its wings.
"Activate the formation!"
Like Zhou Zheng, Xia Lingyu ascended above the altar, shouting delicately,
In the next moment, the dragon's roar surpassed the phoenix's cry, and a golden dragon phantom, larger by more than half than the phoenix, rose into the air, standing in mid-air.
At this moment, the two arrays were fully activated!
"Seal the heavens and the earth!"
"Seal the heavens and the earth!"
The two shouted in unison!
Instantly, the two columns of light turned into a sky full of golden light, enveloping this area, even the demon race in the void was not spared.
"Damn it! How can there be such a great suppression!"
The White Bear, at this moment, felt his strength suppressed by at least thirty percent and roared furiously.
Meanwhile, the humans below were the opposite, showing expressions of amazement!
"I feel like I've reached first grade?"
A soldier of the Great Xia immediately spoke, having been stuck at first grade for decades, not expecting that in just an instant, he advanced to first grade.
Countless others were like him!
In just a moment, the strength of the human race was greatly enhanced.
"What is this.....?"
At this moment, Chen Xuan felt two different forces pouring into his body, and his spiritual power instantly surged.
"System!"
[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Immortal Grade (Early Stage (Temporary)), Spirit Cultivator: First Tier (Divine Soul (Ninth Tier) (Temporary))]
"Immortal Grade!"
It was indeed Immortal Grade, no wonder he felt like he was about to transcend just now.
He couldn't help but look at his own hands, never feeling so powerful before.
"Dark Guard!"
At this moment, Xia Lingyu shouted angrily.
"Present!"
All the Dark Guards shouted in unison, responding to her, and the array instantly formed.
At this moment, Xia Lingyu's aura continued to climb.
Rapidly surpassing the Eight Layers of Purity!
Nine Layers!
Still growing stronger!
Ultimately, it did not break through to Immortal Grade!
But it was just a hair's breadth away!
"Great Xia warriors, follow me into battle!" she shouted loudly, first to charge into the demon race's formation.
"Attack!"
At this moment, all the Great Xia soldiers were full of enthusiasm, each soaring into the sky, with each formation activating, instantly emitting all sorts of dazzling brilliance.
"Great Zhou, attack!"
With an order from Zhou Zheng, all the first-grade martial artists immediately rushed out. At this moment, all sects, originally with gaps between them, united for the human realm, setting aside their grievances and attacking the demon race with all their might.
"Demon race, follow your Master Bai, kill them and eat these humans!"
"Kill!"
"Eat them!"
....
The humans and demons clashed in mid-air.
"Boom, boom...."
"Ah...."
"I killed a demon!"
Having killed a demon, the elated human did not remain happy for long.
"Crunch!"
A black dragon bit down directly, with half of the body falling from the sky!
"Human martial artists are truly delicious!"
The black dragon at this moment was savoring the taste, but in the next instant continued to charge into the humans, wreaking havoc again.
...
This was the war between the two realms.
At this moment, blood began to rain from the sky, the earth already stained red with the blood of both humans and demons, and even the sky turned blood red.
"Hurry up, absorb quickly!"
At this moment, Chen Xuan's heart was filled with urgency, even with the array, the humans were still being severely suppressed by the demons.
'Luohua' was rapidly absorbing the two drops of black dragon's essence blood.
And he felt that 'Luohua' was just a hair's breadth away from being fully restored.
It seemed to sense Chen Xuan's inner turmoil.
"Swish!"
The two drops of essence blood were instantly fully absorbed, and 'Luohua' was completely restored.
"It's done!"
Chen Xuan shouted loudly, immediately casting 'Luohua', with spiritual power pouring into it like a tide.
Instantly, green light filled the sky.
"Suppress!"
