Chapter 1833 - Deep Sea Crisis (8) (1/2)
Chi Wuyao’s words didn’t shake the Dragon Gods in the slightest. In truth, they found her scheme childish and laughable.
A puff of air escaped from the White Rainbow Dragon God’s nostrils. He was just about to launch into a mocking tirade when he felt his entire body go cold and his breath catch in his throat.
All eight of the Dragon Gods immediately turned to look at the Dragon Monarch.
His face had turned dark and grim and his entire body was radiating an extremely shocking rage that he was trying his best to suppress… Furthermore, it wasn’t just a flash of rage, it was a rage that had been burning for some time now.
He was the Dragon Monarch, the only monarch in the God Realm, the most exalted and unparalleled existence in the entire Primal Chaos. He was the strongest in terms of profound strength and raw power, he had the most exalted and revered status, had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and had the wisdom and temperament to match them.
Even if all the mountains of the universe collapsed, even if the entire world was burning around him, his emotions would remain calm and unfrazzled. Even if he faced self-confident fools or mockers, it wouldn’t cause a single ripple in his heart. All of this was nothing more than a childish joke born of ignorance.
So to say that the Dragon Monarch was not qualified to fight someone? To anyone else, to almost everyone that was present, there wasn’t a more forced, stupid, and pathetic insult in the world than this. It was an insult so woeful that it didn’t even have the qualifications to cause even a single hair on the Dragon Monarch’s brow to twitch.
However...
Crack!
Crack!
A sound so crystalline clear that it sent shudders through one’s soul rang in the air, and, shockingly enough, that was the sound of the Dragon Monarch’s knuckles popping.
“...!!??” The eyes of all the Dragon Gods, Dragon Sovereigns, Master Dragons, and god emperors kept looking toward the Dragon Monarch’s hands and face over and over again, and looks of shock and disbelief slowly crept up their faces.
“??” Even the five great Venerable Withered Dragons had started to frown.
As the supreme Dragon Monarch, how could he be so easily enraged by such a pathetic insult?
The White Rainbow Dragon God stared at the Dragon Monarch dumbfoundedly for a few breaths before he finally came back to himself. The lazy insult that he had been about to hurl had now been transformed into a furious rebuke. “What a joke! Why would our Dragon God Realm be scared of a mere Devil Master!?”
“Oh?” Chi Wuyao shot him a sidelong glance. “Just as expected, it wasn’t only the Dragon Monarch. Even his Dragon Gods are a bunch of fake hypocrites who have the gall to do the deed but not admit to it. As they say, birds of a feather flock together.”
“You didn’t even hesitate to use the World Dragon City to rush over here, just so that you could catch us when the Devil Master was away… So why do you insist on putting up such a front? Can’t you see that it’s so obvious and ridiculous?”
“Heh heh heh!” The White Rainbow Dragon God let out a disdainful laugh. “Devil Queen, I’m afraid that you have forgotten that your so-called Devil Master, Yun Che, would have died in some wasteland if our Dragon Queen hadn’t decided to save him out of the great kindness of her heart! So where do you find the gall to say what…”
CRACK!!
This thunderous cracking sound was so loud that it made everyone think that the Dragon Monarch had broken his own finger bones by clenching his fists too hard.
The White Rainbow Dragon God’s voice broke off abruptly as his body suddenly turned cold. He felt so cold that his entire body was shuddering and he couldn’t even find the wherewithal to continue his speech.
Furthermore, this cold intent, one which penetrated straight to his dragon soul, was actually coming from the Dragon Monarch.
The Azure Dragon God stepped forward and kicked the back of the White Rainbow Dragon God’s calf… He was the only one among all the Dragon Gods who had managed to vaguely figure out something during this period of time. However, the Dragon Monarch had told him not to breathe a word to anyone, so how would he even dare to say anything?
The White Rainbow Dragon God turned to look at him with a face filled with puzzled shock.
“Hahahahaha!”
Cang Shitian’s wild laughter rang through the air, and it matched his recently self-conferred title “mad dog”. This time, his laughter was exceptionally wild and bold. “What a joke! Who is the Devil Master? He is the person who inherited the Heretic God’s legacy before receiving the inheritance of a Devil Emperor. He is the person that the Sky Poison Pearl acknowledged as its master… This is a Creation God, Devil Emperor, and a Profound Heavenly Treasure we are talking about here!”
“His profound strength is only at the level of a Divine Sovereign, but his devilish might can already be compared to a god emperor’s strength! And he is barely over thirty years of age! Who exactly in this world can compare to him? Who would even deign to do so? The Dragon Monarch? Hahahahahaha! In front of the Devil Master, he is nothing more than an old worm who has lived for three hundred and fifty thousand years.”
Anger had started to simmer on the faces of everyone from the Dragon God Realm, but the Dragon Monarch’s current emotional state was so strange that none of them dared to act impulsively.
Cang Shitian continued, “Speaking of which, everyone in the God Realm is aware of the two great beauties whose names have dominated the universe. The two celestial pearls of our world, the Dragon Queen and Goddess. The Goddess has already become the Devil Master’s exclusive property, and the Dragon Queen… Heh, if the Devil Master had been born hundreds of thousands of years ago, do you think that you would even have gotten your turn, Dragon Monarch!? I’m afraid that she’d rather be the Devil Master’s concubine before she would even spare you a single glance.”
BAAAANG————
Dozens of kilometers of space violently swelled up with the Dragon Monarch at its center and it looked like it was about to burst.
The Venerable Withered Dragons, Dragon Gods, and Dragon Sovereigns were all knocked backward by the blast of energy that had erupted from the Dragon Monarch’s body. All of them immediately turned to look at him and they were frozen in place by what they saw.
Long Bai’s fair face had actually turned a ghastly shade of greenish-black and his lips, nostrils, eyebrows… and every single muscle on his face was violently trembling.
The space around him violently twisted and if he lost control of that dreadful rage of his, he would cause all of the space around him to collapse.
“My lord?” the Pure Dragon God said with a frown on her face. As the monarch of the Primal Chaos, thousands of years could pass before Long Bai would even show a hint of shock, so she had never ever seen him like this before.
Everyone knew that the Dragon Queen was the Dragon Monarch’s reverse scale, something that should never be touched, but a few taunting words certainly shouldn’t have resulted in this...
When he saw the dramatically-changed expression on the Dragon Monarch’s face and his barely-contained rage, Cang Shitian was left stunned for several moments. But after that, it was time for his own eyes to widen dramatically as his lips twitched and he started to laugh like a madman. “Heh… Hehehehehe… Hahahaha… Ha… Hahahahahahahahaha!”
Those words had merely been a message that Chi Wuyao had sent to him via sound transmission. He had originally thought that mentioning the Dragon Queen might prick Long Bai… but even the smallest prick would have left him satisfied.
He had never imagined that the grand Dragon Monarch would actually be so enraged that he’d show such an ugly appearance!
He lifted both hands up and arched them into claws. His eyes and nostrils were flaring in excitement as he doubled over in laughter. He was laughing so hard that he looked like he was about to pass out.
However, he did not know that every single word that he had said just now was like the most poisonous blade in the world to the Dragon Monarch, and every one of these poisonous blades had struck him in a place that couldn’t be touched by anyone!
Cang Shitian’s wild laughter was simply far too grating. Long Yi gave a short sigh of disappointment before saying, “Dragon Monarch, do not lose your dignity.”
Long Wu’s words were also filled with disappointment. “As the Dragon Monarch, you must not be fazed by even a thousand calamities. These are merely the filthy words of a lowly person, so why did you have to react in such a manner?”
“You bastard!” The Cyan Abyss Dragon howled in rage as he shot forward, the image of a cyan claw appearing over his right hand… However a pale white palm suddenly appeared in front of him and caught him right before he could attack.
Astonishingly enough, the one who had stopped him was Long Bai.
Space stopped distorting around him as his face regained its usual composure. However, the arm that had stopped the Cyan Abyss Dragon God was shaking with an extremely shocking amount of power.
The Cyan Abyss Dragon God hurriedly retreated a few steps. He would no longer dare to make any impulsive moves.
As he let his arm fall, Long Bai looked down at the Devil Queen once more. Divine light that resembled the scorching rays of a heavenly sun shone from his eyes. “Where is Yun Che?”
His words were calm and his emotions were inscrutable.
“Heh, there is no need for the Dragon Monarch to be so apprehensive,” Chi Wuyao said in a languid voice. “I can honestly tell you that my lord Devil Master is still very far away, even though he is rushing over with all his might. He was simply too far away, so he will need at least another ten to twelve hours to rush back.”
