Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1751 - 941: Fateful Encounter, Immortal Technique Achieves Great Success (Part 2)

In the center of the Wensheng Palace square, a large flag stood prominently, its banner raised high, with the words "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" written in four golden characters.

During the torrential downpour, the "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" flag remained raised high, the golden light emitted from the flag enveloping the entire square as well as the Wensheng Palace within.

Not only was it impervious to water, but even the Demon Kings avoided it from afar, as if there was great danger lurking there.

Daoist Xiang took a few steps to the base of the flagpole, looking at the unharmed "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" Treasure Flag, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully this flag is intact, there’s still room for redemption!" Daoist Xiang thought quickly, hurriedly reaching out to grip the flagpole, his boundless mana pouring into the pole like a surging sea.

Before the Treasure Flag could unleash its power, a white figure silently appeared behind Daoist Xiang.

In the next instant, a white, jade-like hand silently pressed against Daoist Xiang’s back.

With a squelching sound, Daoist Xiang’s expression suddenly froze, and a big hole abruptly appeared in the center of his chest and abdomen, with wisps of flame attached to the flesh on the edge of the hole, swiftly corroding and burning outwards.

Daoist Xiang’s eyes widened in rage, his face full of shock and disbelief; he never expected the dignified Dragon Emperor to resort to such underhanded tactics against a junior, and to choose a sneak attack at that.

In the next moment, a burst of red light shot out from his crown, fleeing several hundred li away in an instant, as swift as Instantaneous Movement.

With just a few flickers, the red light vanished into the horizon, making it impossible to pursue.

In front of the Wensheng Palace, Daoist Xiang’s flesh was quickly consumed by the flames. The flames soon contracted into a fist-sized mass, obediently landing on a warm, jade-like palm, then flashing and disappearing.

The owner of this palm was a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a strong and protruding presence. He wore the Heavenly Crown and was clad in the White Dragon Locking Gold Armor, possessing an aura as deep as an abyss, displaying a clear emperor’s demeanor.

This person was named Ao Tong and was the new generation Dragon Emperor.

Ao Tong glanced at the four characters "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" on the flag, suddenly sneering: "Heh, a fraudulent impostor, falsely virtuous and unjustly known, dares to call themselves acting on behalf of heaven!

This emperor is the one truly corresponding with the destiny of heaven, blessed with Qi Fortune. Today, this emperor will personally... eradicate you, the fraudulent impostor."

After saying this, Ao Tong took a step forward, grasping the flagpole tightly, his palm surging with a large mass of white flames.

The flames spread upwards, covering the entire flag in an instant.

Suddenly, the Treasure Flag radiated a dazzling golden light, temporarily suppressing the flames.

At the same time, a cold snort suddenly echoed from behind Wensheng Mountain.

This sound reached Ao Tong’s ears, causing his gaze to flicker slightly, prompting him to urge out more flames.

At this moment, the "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" Treasure Flag seemed to be stimulated by something, suddenly erupting with even more dazzling golden light, which quickly transformed into tens of thousands of rays of Auspicious Light, shooting straight into the Cloud Sky.

In the next instant, the Treasure Flag shook violently, breaking free from Ao Tong’s grasp, soaring into the sky in an instant, speeding towards the back mountain like lightning.

Ao Tong frowned, abruptly turning his head to look towards the back mountain, catching sight of a mass of golden light skyrocketing, with the Treasure Flag swiftly merging into the golden light.

Immediately after, the golden light spanned a hundred li in an instant, suddenly appearing above the Wensheng Palace, deliberately or unintentionally stopping above the Dragon Emperor Ao Tong’s head.

"How dare you!" Seeing this, Ao Tong’s fury surged, and he suddenly shouted angrily, punching upwards fiercely.

A Long Yin erupted, and the punch’s light transformed into a one-hundred-zhang-long, brilliantly shining five-clawed white dragon, charging fiercely towards the sublime figure that had just appeared.

Boom!

A loud boom echoed through heaven and earth, and the five-clawed white dragon vanished in an instant.

"To not reciprocate is impolite! Ao Tong, take one move from me: Heaven and Earth Return Together!"

Accompanied by a warm, jade-like voice echoing in all directions, Ao Tong’s face suddenly changed dramatically.

Because at this instant, Ao Tong suddenly sensed that the mountain range seemed to "come alive".

No!

That’s not right!

This... this mountain range did not come alive; rather, it merged with someone’s will, as if its authority was usurped.

Even though the Dragon Emperor Ao Tong’s cultivation had reached the Absolute Peak of this world, how could he contend with the power of a domain of heaven and earth?

With just one move, Ao Tong was instantly reverted to his original form.

Afterwards, the torrential rain scattered instantly, and over thirty Demon Kings immediately sensed something amiss, rapidly deploying Divine Power Techniques to frantically escape the mountain range.

Screech!

Ao Tong was filled with terror, hurriedly invoking a mass of cloud mist to conceal his True Body, then fled towards the horizon with the speed of lightning.

Above the Wensheng Palace, Zhang Xusheng watched the rapidly disappearing cloud mist, a trace of a smile appearing on his flawless face, then gently tossed out the Treasure Flag in his hand.

The banner flew into the high sky, immediately blossoming into myriad rays of Auspicious Light.

In the next moment, endless golden light poured forth from both heaven and earth.

The golden light converged into a sea, instantly covering a domain of several thousand li surrounding it.

...

Half a day later.

In the northwest of the Jingguang Continent, tens of thousands of li west of Wensheng Mountain, a vast expanse of rugged mountains was suddenly shadowed by a mass of dark clouds rapidly flying towards the edge of the sky.

Deep within the dark clouds, Ao Tong’s eyes were bloodshot, his appearance wretched beyond description. He narrowly escaped death several times during his flight.

To save his life, Ao Tong abandoned the Ancient Strange Treasure Heavenly Crown, and the White Dragon Locking Gold Armor was shattered into pieces, leaving it as a useless treasure.

His heart ached painfully as if bleeding, now filled with deep regret.

Ao Tong couldn’t comprehend why he had been so mindlessly ambitious at first to establish might against the Heavenly Alliance.

He was even more baffled by why that person’s strength was so terrifying, why any Divine Skills and Spell in that person’s hands could exert tenfold power?
