Chapter 310 - 309: A True Dragon Suspended in the Sky, Revered as a God
The aftershocks sent dust drifting down from the stone chamber’s dome. The constant uproar made it impossible to find peace, and the mountains themselves were trembling.
It felt as if the entire earth was shaking.
It was just too loud!
"What’s going on?"
Li Qinghe placed a hand on the wall, her brow furrowed. She turned to Li Zixuan and said, "Xuanxuan, the soundproofing in these Jianghai Academy stone chambers isn’t very good, is it? How can it not even block out the sound of thunder?"
"That shouldn’t be happening,"
Li Zixuan was baffled as well, staring at the vibrating rock walls in utter confusion.
"I was meditating in here just recently... I spent days inside without hearing so much as a drop of rain. How did it end up like this?"
’To shake even the stone chamber...’
’Just how terrifying must the thunder outside be?’
Just as they were growing more confused,
"No, this is definitely not a normal tremor!" Elder Li suddenly spoke, his white brows knitted gravely as he immediately dismissed their theories.
He had personally supervised the exquisite construction of this stone chamber. Its load-bearing walls were cast from Profound Stone, with three layers of Array Patterns inscribed both inside and out. At full strength, it could even withstand an attack from an Earth Venerable Realm expert.
In an emergency, it could even be used as a shelter!
’But now it’s trembling...’
’And the thunder actually managed to penetrate the stone walls?’
"How is this possible!?"
Elder Li’s brow furrowed in thought. As if realizing something, he slowly paced to the door.
CLICK!
He opened the stone door.
In the next instant,
The scene outside filled their vision. A terrifying pressure swept over the back of the mountain, and the wind whipped the sea of trees into churning waves beneath a sky of oppressive, dark clouds.
WHOOSH! A violent, stormy tide surged forth!
Far to the southeast, a long, drawn-out dragon’s roar thundered across the heavens, which had turned a brilliant, shining gold!
"Holy hell..."
Li Qinghe stared, dumbfounded, at the scene outside. "Is this the end of the world?!"
"Am I hearing things... Did you all hear that?" She turned to the others, cocking her head toward the sky and asking hesitantly, "I think I heard a dragon roar?"
"You’re right. It was a dragon’s roar."
Li Zixuan nodded, confirming her suspicion. Her face flushed with excitement, and she balled her hands into fists as she stared at the extraordinary spectacle on the horizon.
’I remember that direction... That’s Fuhai District, where Senior Brother is! All this commotion seems to be coming from there.’
"A dragon leaping through the clouds, and this aura... A Venerable? No, not even the Venerable Realm is this terrifying! Can it... Can it really be the Celestial Venerable Realm?!"
Elder Li muttered in disbelief. As the wind swept in, he squinted into the distance, where he could faintly make out the shadow of a dragon dancing among the clouds.
There was no doubt about this aura.
It far surpassed that of an Earth Venerable!
"It’s the Celestial Venerable Realm..."
Elder Li was utterly astonished.
’Did Young Friend Qin really manage to break through?!’
’The youngest Celestial Venerable.’
’Unprecedented!’
’No! In this entire world, he’s the only one who has ever accomplished this!’
"The younger generation is truly something to be feared! The Heaven-Blasting Gang’s reputation is no empty boast. They’re about to gain another Celestial Venerable!" Elder Li was ecstatic, and he wholeheartedly supported this development.
Another Celestial Venerable for the Heaven-Blasting Gang meant that the overall strength of Jianghai City would grow even greater!
They would have a much better chance of resisting the Beast God Cult’s incursions in the future!
"A good omen! This manifestation of a true dragon is definitely a good omen."
Elder Li’s white eyebrows shot up. He waved to Li Zixuan and the others, urging them loudly,
"Let’s go! Follow me, quickly! A Celestial Venerable is condensing their Dharma Aspect. We can benefit just by being near! Why would we waste time trying to break through here?"
"Let’s go right now!"
"Right!"
The next moment,
They transformed into streaks of light and sped away.
The sky was growing dark, the last rays of sunset fading into twilight. A torrential rain began to pour from the heavens, yet the sky above Fuhai District was as bright as a rising dawn.
A brilliant golden light shone, as if it had broken through the gloom of the sky.
......
On the highway, the sun had set and the bright moon was rising. The headlights of the cars merged into a river of light. Traffic was at a standstill, creating a dazzling ribbon of color that stretched into the distance.
It was the height of rush hour, and the air was filled with the incessant blare of horns.
The curtain of rain fell without end, as if sent by the Dragon King of the Celestial Court himself. A sound that was part long cry, part booming thunder, drew the attention of everyone in the city.
People streamed out of their cars, pulling out their phones to photograph the sky and record the magnificent scene. They were so excited they were practically dancing. Some, hoping for a better view, even opened their umbrellas and started walking to get closer.
"What’s up with the sky over there?!"
"Why is it turning gold!"
"A true dragon is appearing? This is an auspicious sign!"
"Weren’t they supposed to have gone extinct long ago? I always thought they were just legends!"
"Looks like it’s over by Fuhai, right? I always said that place has good feng shui!"
"Fuhai means Sea of Fortune! Who knew a real dragon would actually rise from its waters! How spectacular!!"
"Such strong winds! Fuck, I left my windows at home open!"
As people exclaimed in amazement,
Suddenly!
A figure shot over their heads. He had a Profound Bow on his back and was heading straight for Fuhai Villa, his incredible speed kicking up a violent gale.
WHOOSH!!
The rain above the overpass was momentarily blasted away, the water vapor pushed to both sides!
But it quickly gathered again.
SPLAT!
Some citizens lost their grip on their phones, which fell directly into puddles.
As Liu Wushuang raced through the air, he caught a glimpse of the phones falling from the citizens’ hands. He felt a pang of guilt but had no time to spare for such matters.
’None of that is important right now!!!’
He looked up ahead,
Sensing that aura.
"A Celestial Venerable Dharma Aspect!"
Liu Wushuang was certain he wasn’t mistaken. These were the signs of a Celestial Venerable Dharma Aspect!
He had spent many years trying to break through to the next realm without success. Although he had never witnessed it personally, Meng Tianxuan had at least described the signs of a Dharma Aspect’s formation to him.
’The heavens and earth offer their congratulations.’
’The spectacle is earth-shattering, several times more powerful than the phenomena triggered by a breakthrough to the Earth Venerable Realm!’
"This is the Celestial Venerable Realm!"
As the scenery blurred past him, Liu Wushuang’s aged face was a mask of ecstatic joy. He remembered the promise Qin Yang had made just a few days prior and clenched his fists in excitement.
Thrilled!
"The Young Master is breaking through to the Celestial Venerable Realm!"
.......
Above Fuhai District, golden clouds stretched for thousands of miles across the night sky. A noble aura suffused the air, accompanied by rolling thunder as a rainbow bridge arched across the heavens.
’Almost there.’
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes. A searing golden light burst from them, like the furious glare of an ancient, imperious dragon. The changes within his body were becoming even more distinct.
He heard an ancient call—the rain prayers from the rituals of the first peoples. From some unknown dynasty, a shamaness danced with graceful movements, chanting passages from sacred texts.
Power was within his grasp.
The True Dragon Dharma Aspect ascended into the sky, climbing to its very peak.
The wind and clouds roiled.
As the saying goes: clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger. At this moment, with Jianghai City at its epicenter, vast expanses of clouds and mist began to migrate, as though triggered by some fundamental Law.
The radiant glow gradually stained the layers of clouds, which gathered into a sea that churned into a breathtaking vortex.
Meanwhile,
Unbeknownst to him, more and more citizens were gathering beneath this spectacular sea of clouds. The torrential rain lashed down from a sky thick with dark clouds, where a Golden Dragon roamed.
The people prostrated themselves in worship,
Revering him as a god...
