In the Dragon Tombs, the star-filled s.p.a.ce trembled.
As the Dragon Soul World collapsed, it caused a huge chain reaction, sending tremors all across the Dragon Tombs. A colorful burst of energy erupted in s.p.a.ce, and the sounds of dragons roaring reverberated in the air.
Countless dragon souls were everywhere.
All the dragons were stunned.
"The Dragon Soul World… has collapsed!"
"W-What happened?"
"By the heavens, what the h.e.l.l happened…"
Many dragons were confused.
Somewhere in the void, Chu Kuangren, Shang Honghua, and the others had exited the Dragon Soul World.
"Let's leave. This place has nothing worth exploring anymore." Chu Kuangren said calmly.
He had obtained the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Infernal Dragon soul. With the two greatest items of the Dragon Tombs now in his hands, the Dragon Tombs had nothing better to offer.
While he, Shang Honghua, and the others were about to leave the Dragon Tombs, everyone else was heading toward the Dragon Tombs's entrance.
Along the way, Chu Kuangren continued observing the merging of the Infernal Dragon energy with the Infernal Dragon's soul. Although he said he wanted to leave the Dragon Tombs, he was not in a hurry to do so.
It was because he knew that an even greater threat was waiting ahead.
After all, he had caused such a great commotion.
There was no way the Dragon Tribe would do nothing about it.
"How strange," said Shang Honghua with a frown. "We haven't seen any other dragons so far. Where have they all gone?"
The Dragon Tombs may be a ma.s.sive location, but it was strange that they had not even encountered any dragons along the way so far.
"Well, it's not strange at all," Chu Kuangren said calmly.
"Could it be…" As if she had thought of something, Shang Honghua's eyes widened in realization.
The other Pan Gu Universe dragons' expressions also turned grim.
"There's no need to worry," Chu Kuangren comforted them.
Then, he took out a wars.h.i.+p to transport everyone before entering one of the rooms on the wars.h.i.+p and starting his closed-door meditation.
"Let's take our time. There's no need to hurry."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard what Chu Kuangren said.
"Jeez. I can't believe the Sect Leader is still in the mood to go into closed-door meditation, but should I say I'm not surprised?" Elder Dragon Huang said with a bitter smile.
He had antic.i.p.ated the grave situation that everyone was in right now.
If everything proceeded as expected, they would be facing an extremely dangerous and even life-threatening situation soon.
However, the fact that Chu Kuangren could remain so calm impressed him very much.
"Has he always been like this?"
Hei Xuan looked at Shang Honghua and asked curiously. He could tell from the last few days that Shang Honghua was the closest to Chu Kuangren.
"You can always believe in our King," Shang Honghua said.
She had complete confidence in Chu Kuangren.
"How strange. Why are you addressing him as your King, yet the others are addressing him as Sect Leader? What is his ident.i.ty actually?"
Hei Xuan scratched his head, a little confused.
"My King is my Sect Leader, and my Sect Leader is also my King. You don't have to care about this."
Shang Honghua addressed Chu Kuangren like so because he was the Human King of the Pan Gu Universe's Firmament Planet, and she had never stopped addressing him that way ever since.
She did not intend to change it either, and Hei Xuan ignored it.
Everyone continued steering the wars.h.i.+p slowly toward the Dragon Tombs' entrance.
…
At the Dragon Tombs's entrance, countless dragons had gathered there.
Besides the three great tribes consisting of the Water Dragons, Elder Dragons, and Black Dragons, the other tribes such as the Five Elemental Dragons and Heavenly Rainbow Dragons were present too.
Countless dragons were blocking the entrance of the Dragon Tombs, each of them exuding a murderous aura. They were clearly the elite warriors of the Dragon Tribe.
Their expressions were stern and cold.
They were waiting for a person, the person who single-handedly turned the entire Dragon Tombs upside down, destroyed the Dragon Soul World, and caused the Dragon Tribe's reputation to go down the gutter.
Today, they gathered just to eradicate that man!
"How long has it been since the Dragon Soul World collapsed?" an Elder Dragon asked in a solemn voice.
That Elder Dragon was clad in black armor and exuded a terrifying draconic aura. His cultivation level was in the Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm.
He was no ordinary Supreme Honorable.
"It's been two years," said another dragon with a similarly terrifying aura standing beside him. He was a Black Dragon exuding a domineering aura of destruction.
"Two years… It's been two years since the Dragon Soul World collapsed. If Chu Kuangren wants to leave the Dragon Tombs, he should be appearing anytime soon."
"This is the only entrance to the Dragon Tombs. He'll surely have to pa.s.s through here if he wants to leave, but there's no way he can escape!"
"This time, six of the Dragon Tribe's Thirteen Warlords have been dispatched. I'm eager to see if he has what it takes to escape from us!"
The Dragon Tribe's Thirteen Warlords were the most powerful cultivators below the Monarchs of the Dragon Tribe. They were only recruited based on their strength and not the purity of their bloodline. Each of them was a.s.signed an army to lead.
They were the ones that formed the Dragon Tribe's main force in foreign conquests.
Each of them possessed incredible power. Ordinary Grand Dao Supreme Honorables were nothing before the likes of them.
As seconds and minutes went by, another year soon pa.s.sed.
However, none of the dragons present were getting impatient. Having been through countless battles, those warriors had enough patience to wait for their enemy.
Their intense murderous intent and hatred toward Chu Kuangren had only strengthened their resolve. They were willing to wait for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!
The moment Chu Kuangren appeared, they would kill him on the spot!
Just then, Elder Dragon Qianshan of the Thirteen Dragon Tribe Warlords suddenly opened his eyes.
"He's here!"
A wars.h.i.+p was slowly approaching from the far reaches of s.p.a.ce.
Every dragon soldier and cultivator narrowed their eyes.
An overwhelming draconic aura filled with dense murderous qi burst forward.
Onboard the wars.h.i.+p, Elder Dragon Huang, Shang Honghua, and the others could not help but gulp in fear.
Although they had antic.i.p.ated something like that would happen, they were shocked to see the Dragon Tribe armies that filled the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
"Wait, this is simply too much."
"Has every Hongmeng dragon in the universe gathered here?"
"By the heavens, can we escape from this alive?"
Some Pan Gu Universe dragons were so frightened by the terrifying draconic qi that they fell to the ground, looking horrified.
Even a Grand Dao Supreme G.o.d like Hei Xuan's mouth twitched, and his body began to shudder uncontrollably. "It looks like it's all over for us now."
"No wonder we didn't even see anyone on the way here. It's because they've all gathered here, and it looks like we're in huge trouble now." Elder Dragon Huang bitterly smiled.
Beside him, Long Shuijing began channeling her draconic qi, preparing to fight to her death.
Shang Honghua held her dragon spear so tightly that veins began to bulge on the fair skin of her arms.
Although she was also shocked by the scene before her, she had yet to lose her courage to fight.
"As long as I can fight by my King's side, I don't care if I die fighting!" Shang Honghua mumbled.
"Well, Honghua, I certainly wouldn't let you fall in battle."
A chuckle sounded in her ear.
A white-robed figure had appeared next to her out of nowhere.
It was Chu Kuangren.
He then took the lead and stood in front of everyone. As he took a step forward, his radiated with Immortal Sparks while his domineering Grand Dao aura surged like a mighty torrent of energy, pouring forward mercilessly!
The visit to the Dragon Tombs had allowed him to increase his cultivation level to the Grand Dao Supreme G.o.d Realm, skipping the Supreme Spirit Realm in the process.
However, judging by his aura, even the Supreme Honorables could no longer compare to him, let alone the Supreme G.o.ds.
His overwhelming aura spread from him as the center and collided with the countless draconic auras in s.p.a.ce, causing the surroundings to quake!
"Well, what a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect such hospitality from the Dragon Tribe. I must say, I rather like this grand farewell ceremony they have prepared for me," Chu Kuangren said as he stood with both hands behind his back, and his gentle voice echoed in s.p.a.ce.
