Chapter 45 - The Name of the Gu Xuan Shakes the Great Wilderness
Chapter 45 The Name of the Gu Xuan Shakes the Great Wilderness
“Hahaha! Daoist Zulong, thank you for your generous gift!”
Chu Yuan took possession of the Crystal Palace, feeling the vast treasure accumulated over endless years by the dragon clan within his acupoint. He couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter!
At the same time, he pushed the [Xuanhuang Undying Merit Body] to its extreme, and the dazzling golden light of merit illuminated an area of a hundred thousand miles!
“You’re asking for death!”
Watching helplessly as the Crystal Palace—a symbol of the dragon clan and the result of generations of effort—was seized before his very eyes, Zulong’s fury erupted completely!
His boundless rage transformed into a tangible killing intent, sweeping through heaven and earth!
The terrifying pressure of a Quasi-Saint burst forth without reservation. Within his enormous dragon eyes shone a destructive light, as if the next moment he would recklessly annihilate Chu Yuan completely!
The Crystal Palace itself was a treasure, painstakingly forged by Zulong from countless rare materials. It was a top-grade postnatal spiritual treasure!
It was the dragon clan’s ancestral land for billions of years and a sacred place in the hearts of the Scale Clan. Not to mention the Scale Clan, even many dragons with impure bloodlines longed all their lives to step into the Crystal Palace!
Moreover, it contained a vast collection of the dragon clan’s precious treasures. Now it was snatched away by Chu Yuan right before his eyes—one can imagine the fury burning in his heart.
However, just as Zulong was about to strike, his gaze fell on the dense, inextinguishable golden merit light surrounding Chu Yuan, and on Chu Yuan’s fearless, slightly mocking expression. The devastating blow that was about to erupt was forcibly halted.
Kill?
Or not kill?
Reason told him that this person before him bore great merits; forcibly killing him would surely provoke heavenly retribution and entangle him in karma. At this critical moment of the calamity, even a trace of karma could trigger a chain reaction, leading to eternal ruin!
Could the Dragon Clan bear such consequences?
But if he did not kill—What of the Dragon Clan’s dignity?
How to cleanse the shame of losing the Crystal Palace?
What face would he have to lead the scales of the four seas?
Just as the Ancestral Dragon struggled in inner conflict and hesitation, Chu Yuan spoke again, his voice soft but clearly heard by every living being.
“Ancestral Dragon! Today I stand here bearing the heavenly Dao’s merits! Do you truly dare to kill me?!”
“If you strike, you will be opposing the heavenly Dao! Aren’t you afraid of tainting yourself with boundless karma, inviting the calamity of clan extermination, causing your Dragon Clan to follow the footsteps of the ancient fierce beasts and be utterly destroyed in this calamity?!”
Chu Yuan’s words struck the Ancestral Dragon’s heart like a heavy hammer! Each word pierced the deepest fears within the Ancestral Dragon!
“Roar!!!!!!”
The Ancestral Dragon let out a roar filled with extreme reluctance, endless frustration, and anger!
Within the dragon’s cry was the boundless fury of a quasi-saint, shaking the surrounding sea for millions of miles until it boiled, shattering the souls of countless weak beings. But in the end, he still dared not act.
“Fine, you’re ruthless!”
Zulong stared fixedly at Chu Yuan, as if wanting to engrave Chu Yuan’s appearance deep into his soul.
“Today’s humiliation, our Dragon Clan will remember! After the calamity passes, I will definitely make you… make you…”
Seeing this, Chu Yuan knew his purpose had been achieved, and there was no point in staying any longer.
“Until we meet again, Zulong, fellow Daoist.”
With that, he didn’t linger. With a thought, he withdrew all the Corpse Gu, the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, and the Hongmeng Heavenly Measuring Rod. He gathered his magic power to scoop up the sea with a large hand.
A dazzling, mysterious yellow light flashed by, leaving behind only a ruined battlefield and a group of lost, bewildered dragons. And Zulong’s furious roar after Chu Yuan once again took away the Dragon Clan’s corpses:
“You brat, how dare you!”
…
“Trash!!”
After Chu Yuan left, Zulong suddenly turned his head, looking at Zhu Long trembling beside him, not daring even to breathe. The anger in his heart finally found an outlet. His huge dragon claw rose and viciously slapped down!
“Smack!”
A crisp, loud sound!
Zhu Long’s massive body was flung like a sandbag, crashing into the distant underwater mountain range. His scales shattered, blood gushed out wildly, and already severely injured, he nearly perished on the spot.
“It’s all your fault! Get lost!”
Zulong roared.
Zhu Long struggled to get up, crawling and rolling as he fled Zulong’s sight, his heart full of endless fear and resentment. After venting, Zulong looked at the empty seabed and the demoralized clansmen, a flicker of exhaustion and loneliness flashing in his eyes.
“Send orders! List ‘Xuan Gu Daoist’ as a great enemy of our Dragon Clan. Before the calamity ends, no one is allowed to seek revenge on their own!”
The result of the Battle of the Eastern Sea spread through the Primordial Wilds like wings, with astonishing speed!
The mysterious “Gu Xuan Daoist,” wielding the power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, fiercely clashed with the quasi-Saint Ancestor Dragon. He seized the Dragon Clan’s Crystal Palace and, ultimately, retreated unharmed thanks to immense merits. This news completely ignited the Primordial Wilds!
Countless beings were shaken with fear!
Countless clans turned their eyes toward this event!
At Qilin Cliff, within the Hall of Myriad Spirits, the primordial Qilin, who had been monitoring the battle’s outcome, finally saw that even the Dragon Clan’s Crystal Palace was forcibly taken by Chu Yuan. His massive body trembled violently, his eyes filled with shock and relief.
“The Crystal Palace… was actually seized?! Even the Ancestor Dragon couldn’t stop it?!”
The primordial Qilin’s heart surged like a storm.
He had originally thought Chu Yuan fighting the Ancestor Dragon was the limit, but never imagined his methods were so ruthless, nor that his courage was sky-high. He dared to directly snatch the very foundation of the Dragon Clan!
Most importantly his realm was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level!
“This person is not only unfathomably powerful, but also lawless and utterly reckless!”
Even the primordial Qilin’s temperament felt a bit of relief.
In terms of strength, the primordial Qilin was slightly weaker than the Ancestor Dragon. The Qilin Clan’s influence was also somewhat inferior to the Dragon Clan’s. If this time Chu Yuan had come looking for the Qilin Clan…
then the outcome…
“Send out orders! Temporarily stop the search for the one who killed the Fire Qilin!”
“Until the end of the calamity, do not provoke the Gu Xuan Daoist without reason!”
Moments later, the authoritative voice of the primordial Qilin echoed over Qilin Cliff.
