Capítulo 1046: Chapter 563: Divine Power of the Dragon Ball! The Qing Jiao Emerges from the River! One day, two days, three days… The sun cycled nine times, and it seemed that on the brink of death, the Flood Dragon had just comprehended something. If it had made a desperate move at that time, perhaps things would have been different. Though it might have been struck dead by the Heavenly Tribulation, there was a sliver of hope. But now, everything is too late. Its vitality can no longer support another rise. Only a sense of unwillingness lingers in its heart. It gradually closed its eyes, sinking into the riverbed… Chen Yuan sighed softly, his gaze serious. The Flood Dragon crossing tribulation and transforming is much like the scene of a Martial Artist gradually climbing step by step. The path of Martial Arts demands courage and determination. Once defeated, if the spirit disperses, there’s no chance anymore. And there’s no need to speak of the elusive path to eternal life. The scene in his eyes ended here, Chen Yuan’s spirit gradually returned from the unwillingness in the Dragon Ball, looking somewhat complicatedly at the Flood Dragon’s skeleton lying in the mud. People are like Flood Dragons, and Flood Dragons are like people. No matter how illustrious or mighty you were in life, in death, you’re just a skeleton in a tomb. Under the passage of time, flesh, blood, scales, and armor all vanish, perhaps after some years, even this Flood Dragon’s skeleton will be obliterated in the human world, leaving no trace of its existence. Gazing at the skeleton for a moment, Chen Yuan just intended to take the Dragon Ball when suddenly, the Emperor Slaughter Saber, stored in the Heavenly Book Space, trembled. Chen Yuan’s eyes moved, and with a thought, he brought it out from the Heavenly Book Space. As seen, from the Emperor Slaughter Saber, a colossal Dragon Soul, black as ink, materialized, circling the riverbed once before fixating its gaze on the azure Dragon Ball. As if it wanted to swallow it whole. Chen Yuan frowned, this was his opportunity, intending to rely on the Flood Dragon Pearl to advance further. If the Dragon Soul consumed it, the loss would be substantial. He quickly transmitted his thoughts to the Dragon Soul. Yet the Dragon Soul seemed oblivious, still fixating on the Dragon Ball. Seeing it in such a state, Chen Yuan sensed something was amiss, narrowing his eyes, his gaze locked onto the Dragon Ball. The deadlock lasted for ten breaths, as a thread of aggressive Dragon Aura from the Dragon Soul enveloped the Dragon Ball, a petite azure Flood Dragon Soul suddenly emerged from within the Dragon Ball. With a trace of human-like apprehension, it glanced at Chen Yuan and the Dragon Soul, then with a roar akin to a Dragon Roar, it tried to break through the water. To escape this place. Nine Rivers River Bank. As time passed, the carp leaping from the river not only did not diminish but increased in number and agitation, as if being drawn by something. The moon in the void grew even brighter. Such an eerie state also made several Dan Realm Masters who came to spectate aware of something amiss; among them, there were those who had witnessed the phenomenon of fish leaping over the Dragon Gate. But never before had there been a day as bizarre as this. Various fish and shrimp leaping were too numerous, and if observed closely, the river was growing increasingly muddy. Previously, they hadn’t noticed anything unusual. After all, such rapid currents and dense fish leaps stirring up the riverbed sediment was normal. But… the sediment seemed overly thick. Calling it the Flowing Sand River seemed more accurate. Zhang Wanshu’s fists clenched beneath her sleeves, with a hint of worry in her eyes. About a quarter-hour had passed since Chen Yuan left. Why hasn’t he returned yet? What exactly is he doing? The fish leaping over the Dragon Gate might not last much longer. An opportunity once a year, missing it would be quite the pity, as this was not manipulated by the Martial Artists, but entirely the fish’s spontaneous actions. Sister Zhang felt a little sorry. But with so many people gathered here, she didn’t dare to cheer. If Chen Yuan were doing something significant, one shout from her might ruin everything. Zhang Wanshu watched the river, while someone watched her. Ever since noticing Chen Yuan’s departure, Princess Pingyang frequently glances in her direction, her gaze pensive. Chen Yuan should be wandering with a beauty, not leaving alone. Could there be something she didn’t know? While she was speculating, a nondescript man in black beside her bowed slightly and called. Princess Pingyang withdrew her thoughts, turning her head. “There’s something odd in the water. Be careful, Your Highness.” “Discovered anything?” Pingyang frowned and asked. “This subordinate is not sure yet, likely only by going underwater can it be seen.” The man said hesitantly. The source of thɪs content is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Princess Pingyang was just about to instruct something. Suddenly, three powerful auras arose from various parts of the crowd: a shabby Taoist, a humble monk, and a middle-aged man in Heavenly Patrol Bureau attire. The three Dan Realm Masters now suspended over the Dragon Gate Crossing. “Yes, Your Highness.” The man in black nodded slightly and quickly soared into the sky, carefully observing the other three Dan Realm Masters, having previously sensed each other while observing the scene but without any interaction. Now was the first time. The four figures hovered in the void, causing the gathered civilians and Martial Artists to exclaim, fearing something major had occurred, stirring unease, with some already starting to flee. But some Martial Artists couldn’t help but step forward, wanting to see what was happening. “It seems you’ve all noticed something unusual about this place.” The shabby Taoist glanced around. The humble monk clasped his hands together. The others were immediately shocked, their gazes instantly falling on the river below with suspicion and delight, but also a hint of wariness and caution when looking at each other. With treasures ahead, perhaps, there would be trouble. “Fellow Daoists, as we are unsure of the matters, why not first…” The shabby Taoist hadn’t finished. The moonlight in the night sky suddenly brightened greatly, the river spiraled into a vortex, and a roar akin to Dragon Roar rang out. Then, everyone saw a streak of azure light break through the water!
