Chapter 36 The Domineering Dragon Clan, Suppression with a Single Hand
Chu Yuan paused his comprehension. In a flash, his figure appeared above Penglai Immortal Island, his gaze directed beyond the island. There, above the surrounding sea, a dark mass loomed—banners fluttering, murderous intent surging!
Hundreds of thousands of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, fish spirits, and sea monsters formed an enormous aquatic army. At the forefront of this army was a colossal ash-gray dragon, so massive it blotted out the sky. It radiated terrifying draconic might—its aura far stronger than even that of the Fire Qilin!
The giant dragon continuously spewed dragon breath and swung its claws wildly, madly assaulting the protective formation of Penglai Immortal Island.
This true dragon had a single eye on its head, glinting with cold and greedy light. It was none other than Zhu Long, the second-in-command of the dragon clan—a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the late stage, and a powerful wielder of divine arts.
Unlike the dragons born after the creation of the world, Zhu Long, like the Ancestral Dragon, was innately born—regarded as a brother to the Ancestral Dragon. He was also a high-tier innate demon god by origin!
Just as Chu Yuan was observing all this, Zhu Long slightly raised his enormous dragon head. His lantern-sized eye gazed at Chu Yuan, a flicker of surprise flashing through it. Then, sensing Chu Yuan’s aura as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, his eye immediately filled with contempt and greed.
“Oh? So someone got here ahead of me?”
Zhu Long’s deep, rumbling voice echoed like thunder.
“You look… strangely familiar…”
“Ah! I remember now! A few days ago, that foolish fire qilin from the Qilin Clan—didn’t it die at the hands of someone with a Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, but with strange and unpredictable methods? That person must be you, right?”
Though arrogant, the Candle Dragon (Zhu Long) was not stupid. The Qilin Clan’s uproar in hunting down the culprit had naturally reached his ears. Now, upon seeing Chu Yuan, he immediately connected the dots.
“Hmph!”
Candle Dragon sneered, his tone filled with domineering arrogance.
“No matter who you are or what methods you used to kill that fire qilin!”
“It’s one thing to offend those mongrels from the Qilin Clan, but to dare covet a treasure of my Dragon Clan?”
“If you know what’s good for you, offer up the treasure and this island. Then I’ll permit you to join my Scaled Clan!”
“Candle Dragon?” Chu Yuan’s voice was icy. “Permit me to join the Scaled Clan?”
“This island is unclaimed land. I came here first—why should I give it to you?”
“Why?”
Candle Dragon laughed wildly.
“Because I am Candle Dragon of the Dragon Clan! Because I am a late-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal!”
“On this Eastern Sea, the Dragon Clan is heaven! If I say this island is mine, then it is mine! You, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, dare reason with me? Courting death!”
With that, Candle Dragon wasted no more words. His massive dragon claw swept out as he roared an order to the army behind him.
“Boys, put in some effort! Capture this wretch! I’ll reward him with a drop of dragon’s blood to change his bloodline!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
A million-strong aquatic army roared in unison, their assault growing fiercer by the second!
All kinds of water-based divine powers and magical artifacts rained down on Chu Yuan like a storm!
Though Candle Dragon sounded arrogant, if he were truly brainless, he wouldn’t be the Dragon Clan’s number two figure. For Chu Yuan to slay a Da Luo from a Taiyi realm, he must possess mysterious and dangerous means.
So he simply had his million aquatic troops make the first move to test the waters, while he himself gathered his strength. Once he had gauged Chu Yuan’s trump cards, he would launch a full-scale assault and wipe him out!
“You refuse the toast, so now you’ll drink the forfeit!”
A cold light burst from Chu Yuan’s eyes, revealing his murderous intent. Since the other party insisted on courting death, he would grant him his wish!
“Do you really think I fear you? Today, this loach shall meet his end here!”
Chu Yuan let out a light laugh, and an immense force surged forth from within him!
With a flip of his hand, a giant hand capable of supporting the heavens descended from above!
In its palm, yin and yang flowed, and the Four Symbols churned. This was the fusion of Chu Yuan’s two divine abilities—”Yin-Yang in the Palm” and “Four Symbols in the Palm.”
It embodied his deep comprehension of the laws of Yin and Yang, and of the Four Symbols.
As the saying goes, “From the Dao comes the Taiji, giving rise to the Two Forms, which evolve into the Four Symbols!”
These two sets of laws were naturally intertwined, and once merged, their power increased exponentially!
Black and white energies circulated, transforming into a massive Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, enveloping the heavens and the earth, radiating an aura of life and death in eternal cycle!
Beams of divine light in blue, yellow, black, and red soared into the sky, manifesting the illusory forms of earth, water, fire, and wind—the Four Symbols, suppressing all directions of the void!
This terrifying divine power exerted crushing pressure over ten thousand miles!
“Boom!”
Chu Yuan’s palm strike, infused with the laws of Yin-Yang and the Four Symbols, descended with unparalleled might. With just one blow, he shattered nearly two hundred thousand elite aquatic troops along with the hastily formed formation they had conjured.
They were reduced to pure water elemental energy and fragments of lingering souls, dispersing across the vast Eastern Sea. Such terrifying power not only widened the eyes of Nuwa and Feng Ling, who were watching from Zifu Island in shock, but also left the commander of the army—Zhulong—shaken to his core.
“You insolent wretch! How dare you do this!”
Zhulong’s single eye, as large as a lantern, instantly filled with boundless fury and killing intent. Though the million-strong navy was mostly made up of weak shrimp and crab soldiers, they were the foundation of the dragon clan’s dominance over the Eastern Sea—and the very symbol of Zhulong’s authority.
Now, nearly one-fifth of them had been slaughtered before his very eyes by a single Taiyi Golden Immortal. It was a blatant slap in the face to the dragon clan!
