In an instant, a cobalt blue light shot out from the giant eyes.
In just a fleeting moment, that trace of blue light quickly tore through the thick darkness, like a rainbow crossing time and space, shooting straight above the Jinlin River.
Where the blue light passed, the icy, bone-chilling currents were all dyed in a peculiar blue glow, dreamlike and illusory. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Immediately after, an endless winding black shadow began to rage and stir at the bottom of the river.
Like a giant beast long dormant, finally awakened, starting to unleash power accumulated over countless ages.
Where the winding black shadow moved, the sediment settled at the bottom was stirred into the air, and some giant undersea boulders were easily overturned.
Under the influence of this violent upheaval, the entire Jinlin River began to tremble fiercely.
The river water of the Jinlin River boiled like boiling water, wildly churning, with waves surging in torrents, one after another crashing fiercely against the banks.
King Qing, from several kilometers away, saw from afar the Dragon Monarch winding and coiling at the bottom of the Jinlin River.
Its bizarre serpent head slightly raised, speaking in human words.
The once cold serpent face now surprisingly showed an expression of joyous excitement, akin to that of a human.
"Dra... Dragon Monarch!"
King Qing’s voice trembled extremely, tinged with a disbelief filled happiness.
Then, it hastily said, "Qing... Qinglin, greets... greets the Dragon Monarch!"
Due to King Qing’s overwhelming excitement, even the words became broken and incoherent.
Subsequently, as if afraid to disturb the Dragon Monarch, King Qing cautiously slowed down and gently swam toward the direction of the Dragon Monarch.
The gigantic green snake, with each movement of its body, appeared extremely restrained, as if approaching a god it had revered all its life.
However, when the distance to the riverbed was a bit over a thousand meters.
King Qing’s mountainous body suddenly halted, frozen in the water, not daring to move forward an inch.
Its scales all over shivered slightly under the rush of water, looking extremely eerie.
Not just King Qing, Bai Shen, who had been following closely, also halted instinctively, floating side by side with King Qing in the deep river water.
Bai Shen’s expression changed, originally icy cold eyes now showing a little fear and reverence.
He fixed his gaze on the darkness below as if sensing something.
Upon a closer look, above the Dragon Monarch, a faint deep black glow loomed like a specter, flickering, emitting an unsettling aura.
This black glow seemed like an invisible barrier, yet also like a mysterious protective layer, enveloping the riverbed tightly.
At this moment, the full figure of the Dragon Monarch was completely reflected in the eyes of Qinglin and Bai Shen.
The Dragon Monarch, nearly a thousand feet long, exuded an extraordinary presence.
What was shocking was that the Dragon Monarch’s body, from top to bottom, was tightly bound by nine extremely thick black chains.
These black chains were deeply embedded into the Dragon Monarch’s flesh, each terrifying indentation making Qinglin and Bai Shen’s hearts tremble.
Bai Shen, being the second Supreme Elder of the Pure World White Lotus Sect, was a mortal enemy of the Great Xia royalty.
Regarding the many secrets of the Great Xia dynasty, Bai Shen was mostly well aware, having no mysteries to speak of.
Of course, their Pure World White Lotus Sect was also thoroughly scrutinized by the Great Xia court, to the point of almost being stripped to the underwear.
Therefore, upon seeing those nine black chains, Bai Shen couldn’t help but feel a shock because he naturally knew the origin of these nine black chains.
This is the Profound Bird Celestial Lock!
An exceedingly rare Nine-Stripe Lunar Artifact in the world!
It was the martial artifact of Emperor Tianqi, wielded with great fame, feared by all.
This Xia Ritian was the previous emperor of the Great Xia dynasty, the father of the current Empress Xia Mingyue.
Back then, Xia Ritian, with this treasure, dominated in the martial arts, intimidating all directions.
But shockingly to everyone, unbelievably,
Xia Ritian actually used the Profound Bird Celestial Lock to restrain this Dragon Monarch.
The reason behind this, perhaps only he knew.
Because Xia Ritian’s strength was unfathomable, according to Bai Shen’s knowledge, he seemed to have broken through to that realm.
Moreover, with the Nine-Stripe Lunar Artifact at hand, killing the Dragon Monarch would be an easy feat.
But simply locking the Dragon Monarch at the bottom of the Jinlin River using the Nine-Stripe Lunar Artifact Profound Bird Celestial Lock.
Truly a strange thing.
The power contained in the Profound Bird Celestial Lock had almost world-shaking might, reversing heaven and earth, altering the heavens and the earth’s color.
Because, within the Nine-Stripe Lunar Artifact, not only did it contain endless primordial essence but also had the extremely terrifying power of the heaven and earth laws.
Yes, it was the very power of the heaven and earth laws that only a martial artist of the Void Realm True Monarch Realm could harness.
A martial artist possessing the Nine-Stripe Lunar Artifact could, in a short amount of time, unleash power comparable to a Void Realm True Monarch.
Though it’s just a brief moment of brilliance, it’s enough to lord over the entire Great Xia dynasty.
After all, a Void Realm True Monarch’s power could be described as god-like in the mortal world.
So, among the top forces of the Great Xia dynasty, there circulated a conclusion.
That is, below the Void Realm, all were ants!
The Dragon Monarch at the riverbed slowly lifted its commanding head.
Unlike the head of the blue serpentine snake.
The Dragon Monarch’s serpent head was pitch black as night, with finely arranged scales, each seemingly tempered through millennia, reflecting a cold dark gleam.
The pitch-black serpent head had a slight bulge, shaped like a crown, exuding an aura of inviolable dignity.
Most mesmerizingly, the sides of the Dragon Monarch’s serpent head had faintly visible protruding bone spurs, resembling unformed dragon horns.
The Dragon Monarch’s nostrils flared gently, each breath carrying a deep tremor.
As it flicked its serpentine tongue, crimson and slender, like flames flickering in darkness, evoking deadly allure and danger.
It possessed both the coldness of a serpent and the majesty of a dragon, like a terrifying presence emerging from ancient myths, intimidating all who laid sight.
The Dragon Monarch’s gaze locked firmly on King Qing, with a flash of complex emotion in its eyes—perhaps surprise, perhaps nostalgia.
"Little Qinglin, I didn’t expect it to be you."
"And you, Jin!"
"Haven’t seen you for years, and you’ve already broken through to half-step Demon Monarch, just a step away from the Demon Monarch realm, aren’t you?"
The Dragon Monarch’s voice echoed at the riverbed, the water waves gently quivering, as if even the current was listening to its words.
The Demon Beast Realm is divided into Intelligent Demon Beasts, Great Intelligent Demons, Demon Kings, Celestial Demons, Demon Monarchs, Demon Emperors, and Demon Saints!
They correspond to human martial artists’ Martial Arts Realms.
Blood Refining Realm, Inner Qi Realm, Outer Astral Grandmaster, Divine Mansion Real Person, Void Realm True Monarch, Earth Venerable Territory Lord, Celestial Essence Dao Immortal.
As soon as the words "Jin" fell, Qinglin’s enormous winding snake body suddenly emitted a dazzling, blinding golden light.
In the blink of an eye, a majestic, fierce, intimidating golden lion’s giant phantom gradually surfaced beneath the shimmering water surface.
The golden giant lion stood towering in the water, each mane like burning golden flames, emanating an oppressive aura.
Even the golden giant lion’s eyes, resembling two blazing suns, made the water evaporate wherever they gazed.
Upon the golden lion’s appearance, its actions were extremely swift, front legs lowered, and the colossal head bowed down, respectfully saluting the Dragon Monarch below.
Such a gesture was filled with submission and reverence.
"Dragon Monarch!"
The Dragon Monarch ignored the golden giant lion’s respectful salute and slowly spoke. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Even your primordial spirit can enter this Great Xia dynasty."
"Is it that one’s intention?"
As soon as the Dragon Monarch finished speaking, the golden lion hurriedly responded from above.
"Yes, Dragon Monarch."
"The ancestor Yu Emperor wants this world!"
"However, the ancestor Yu Emperor cannot act now, unable to forcibly break the confinement of this world."
"Therefore....."
Though the latter half was left unsaid, the Dragon Monarch already understood the golden lion’s intention.
The ancestor Yu Emperor wanted to know how it entered this Great Xia dynasty.
