Chapter 754: Dragon Emperor Regains His Freedom (2/2)
Half an hour, one hour…
Lights glimmered endlessly on Huang Xiaolong’s body, his forehead furrowed from the strenuous effort. Even taking the Phoenix Clan Patriarch Huang Hongtian’s Nine Phoenix Scorching Sky Palm was easier than this.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi was feeling the same as Huang Xiaolong. In fact, because he himself was being sealed inside the Dragon Pearl, the burden on him was heavier than Huang Xiaolong. It could be said that, to support Huang Xiaolong, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi even managed to summon the strength used to suck milk.
Three hours passed in this manner.
After three long hours of suppression, the Dragon Pearl’s sealing force was finally pushed back into the sealing formation, and then onward to breaking the eye of the sealing formation.
Lights flickered unstably on Huang Xiaolong’s skin, wisps of white smoke were rising from the crown of his head.
Huang Xiaolong was already at the end of his tethers at this point.
Even the dragon qi from Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s golden dragon body was faint and intermittent.
When Huang Xiaolong and Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi were close to the point of collapse, both the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Divine Fires’ spirit roared toward the sky.
Snow-white and crimson lights exploded from the two divine fire spirits, merging into a golden-purple light that slammed into the center of the sealing formation.
A faint yet clear crack sounded.
The dragon diagram at the center of the sealing formation cracked and crumbled. In the next second, the grand sealing formation disintegrated.
This abrupt change bewildered Huang Xiaolong and Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi.
Half a beat later, the old dragon regained his senses. He laughed loudly with euphoria.
“The seal’s broken at last!”
“This Old Dragon is finally free!!”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi raised his head upwards, issuing a resounding roar to express the elation in his heart.
Huang Xiaolong let out a long breath in relief, a wide smile on his face.
He was happy for the Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, he was free from the Dragon Pearl’s restrictions.
After so many years together, the old dragon was his teacher and also a friend.
Without his help, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t be as strong as he was in less than a hundred years’ time.
“Come on, let’s return to the surface first!” Huang Xiaolong said. His figure disappeared in a blur as he flew toward the Phoenix Volcano’s crater mouth. It didn’t take him long to return to the outside world.
Once outside, a golden light flashed on Huang Xiaolong’s forehead and Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s golden dragon body flew out, rising toward the sky. He soared, piercing through the clouds.
Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly watching his antics.
It was quite some time later before the old dragon was willing to fly downward, hovering in front of Huang Xiaolong. With a twist of his golden body, he changed into human form, coming to a kneel before Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong hastened forward to help Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi up, slightly chiding, “Old Dragon, what’re you doing?”
Gratitude shone from the dragon's eyes, “Little Huang brat, without your help, I would be trapped inside the Dragon Pearl for eternity.”
Hung Xiaolong waved his hand, smiling at him, “Without your help, there’s no way I could have killed the Deities Templar’s Preceptor, I wouldn't have been able to get the Hailstone Treasure, and it would’ve been impossible to have any of my current achievements. There’s no need to mention these things between us!”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi laughed heartily and was finally willing to stand up.
“Come, we’re going to the Phoenix Clan’s headquarters!” Huang Xiaolong’s tone abruptly changed. Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi nodded. The two of them leaped into the air, disappearing from the Phoenix Volcano in an instant.
Both of them had their divine sense spread out, and very soon, they found the Phoenix Clan’s headquarters.
Shortly, two figures were standing in the air above the Phoenix Clan’s headquarters.
