Chapter 606: King Grade True Dragon (1/2)
Chapter 606: King Grade True Dragon
In one more move, this Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion would come to an end. Everyone was extremely excited, their emotions surging as they discussed the development.
However, the four referees and the eight Great Elders of the City Lord’s Residence had serious expressions. They waited in tight formation, afraid that these two would cause a tremendous commotion and get many innocents injured.
“It has been a very long time since we have seen such absolute talents. The quality of this Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion is probably comparable only to the match between the Thunder Emperor and the Saber Demon five thousand years ago.”
“Back then, that was also an age of geniuses. The fight between the Thunder Emperor and the Saber Demon was a fight between the sword and saber too. Just like now, their attacks obliterated the Wind Cloud Platform.”
The twelve elders floating outside the Wind Cloud Platform projected their voices to one another. As they watched the fight, they sighed and chatted casually.
“Rumble…!”
Just at this moment, something strange happened. The entire Wind Cloud Arena started shaking violently. Caught off guard, many of the cultivators in the spectator stands fell over.
Less than half of them managed to react quick enough. Those that did had leaped to the ground the instant the Wind Cloud Arena started shaking.
The area within ten kilometers of the Wind Cloud Platform looked like boats that had flipped over after a ma.s.sive wave pa.s.sed. The bleachers jutted out at various angles, with no pattern to the shambles.
Those below Martial King could not fly. These made up about eighty percent of the cultivators who came to watch. When they fell over, they could not right themselves.
“What’s going on?”
“What is happening?”
Chaos appeared amidst the darkness. The clamor of anxious cries made the situation even more chaotic.
“Is the seal on the Dragon Veins weakening?”
The expression of Dragon Sealing City’s City Lord, Zong Liang, changed. He immediately stood up and emitted surging energy from his feet. The ground within a kilometer from him calmed down in stark contrast with the surroundings.
“Roar!”
A loud dragon roar came from the abyss below Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun. The dragon roar was even louder than the heavenly thunder. It managed to suppress all the noise around.
When the weaker Martial Kings heard this roar, their auras became unstable. Blood leaked out from the corner of their mouths as they fell out from the sky.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
Another three dragon roars resounded as Dragon Might pervaded the Wind Cloud Arena. Few Martial Kings could remain airborne. Now, the ground shook even harder. It seemed like the apocalypse had arrived, causing everyone to tremble in fear.
Zong Liang waved his right hand, and a golden token appeared in his hand. The rhombus-shaped token had ancient complicated patterns on it. The words “Sealing Dragon” was carved on its front.
The golden token gave off a faint glow in the darkness, exuding mysterious and ancient energy.
Just as Zong Liang was about to use the Dragon Sealing Token, an aged voice sounded in his head.
Zong Liang, don’t be in a rush to use the Dragon Sealing Token. The seal on the Dragon Veins has not weakened yet. It is just the four Dragon Veins all awakening.
Dragon Sealing City’s City Lord was slightly stunned. Clearly, the voice he heard in his head was a great surprise. His expression turned to one full of respect as he said, “Great-grandfather, you say that the Dragon Veins have awakened. Do you mean…”
“That’s right. One of these two people is a King Grade True Dragon. He is destined to rule the nine Dragon Veins. Did you not hear the urgency of the dragon roars?”
Zong Liang fell in deep thought. Suddenly, he looked like he was enlightened as he put away the Dragon Sealing Token. “So, that is why. It looks like I was overthinking it.”
At the same time, in the Imperial Capitals of the five great nations several thousand kilometers away, a loud dragon roar also came from each of the seals suppressing a Dragon Vein.
The nine Dragon Veins roared together, resonating with one another. The sound pierced through the barrier of s.p.a.ce and gathered at Dragon Sealing City, further aggravating the earth tremors.
Above the abyss, Xiao Chen had already dodged aside long ago. As he looked into the deep abyss, he revealed an expression of suspicion on his face.
After some time, the loud roar, which contained boundless Dragon Might, slowly faded away. The entire Wind Cloud Arena turned peaceful once again.
“That was definitely Dragon Might earlier. The Dragon Veins have awakened!”
“This is too shocking. There was a total of four dragon roars. All four Dragon Veins have awakened. Out of these two people, one of them must be a Monarch Grade True Dragon!”
“You heard wrong. There were nine dragon roars, not four. Only a King Grade True Dragon could cause this much commotion.”
[TL note: I am not too sure how the ranking of this True Dragon thing goes but based on previous chapters, this is one of the ranking systems for Secret Treasures, where it was Emperor > King > Spirit. From the previous paragraph, it seems like Monarch ranks lower than King, which is different from the system for Cultivation Realms. The other system for ranking Secret Treasure is Superior, Medial, and Inferior Grade.]
