Chapter 1194: Chapter 501: I Go Forth! (Part 2)

When the appearance of the human form of the Candle Dragon was revealed, all the Demon Saints showed surprise in their eyes.

Because the human form of the Candle Dragon looked exactly like Zhu Tianqi...

Lu Jin’an also watched this scene with some astonishment. He naturally knew to guard against a dragon from Outer Heaven and was aware it was likely the Candle Dragon.

But even if the era in which the Candle Dragon lived had no Human Clan or the concept of transforming into human form, it still couldn’t look exactly like Zhu Tianqi.

"This is the gift I’ve prepared for you." Zhu Tianqi slowly spoke: "In order to let Your Majesty the Ancestor Dragon reappear, I’ve specially prepared a vessel that can accommodate..."

Before he could finish, Lu Jin’an, surrounded by the flowing Time Path, interrupted: "You created a clone of yourself, then used this clone to serve as a new vessel for the Candle Dragon’s Divine Soul and flesh, to avoid being rejected by the Cloud Peak Heavenly Dao, correct?"

Zhu Tianqi looked at Lu Jin’an with amusement: "You’re quite right. Only my form as the strongest Dragon Saint besides Your Majesty the Ancestor Dragon can bear the power of His Majesty.

Other dragons, I don’t trust."

"Impressive."

Lu Jin’an clapped his hands, although he didn’t know how Zhu Tianqi managed to cultivate a clone that wasn’t inferior to himself, such details no longer mattered.

What matters is that Zhu Tianqi is currently merging with the ’Candle Dragon’; what matters is killing him at this moment.

Numerous Dragon Saints surrounded Zhu Tianqi at the center, watching Lu Jin’an vigilantly.

Lu Jin’an took Zhiyu’s small hand, and in an instant, moved in front of Cang Qinglong Saint and Biluo Dragon Saint in Zhu Tianqi’s calm gaze.

Biluo Dragon Saint involuntarily clenched his fists, while Cang Qinglong Saint simply watched Lu Jin’an calmly.

"Zhiyu, be good and stay here for a while."

"Got it." Zhiyu replied obediently without asking any further questions, knowing that her Master would certainly not harm her.

Cang Qinglong Saint expressionlessly reached out to hold Zhiyu, shielding her behind him, as nearly ten Dragon Saints of the Azure Dragon Clan surrounded them simultaneously.

Watching this scene, Biluo Dragon Saint opened his mouth slightly: "What do you mean by this?"

"The survivor is the winner."

Cang Qinglong Saint said softly, showing no fear of the killing intent hidden in Zhu Tianqi’s gaze.

Originally, she hoped to help Zhiyu ascend through the Human Clan, but Lu Jin’an himself failed...

Now that the failure is a falsehood, the choice naturally reverts to its original state: no choice.

Whoever triumphs, the Azure Dragon Clan will side with them.

This approach is shameless, but Cang Qinglong Saint doesn’t care about the gaze of the entire Demon Clan, otherwise she wouldn’t have initially sent Zhiyu to the Wandao Sect.

Biluo Dragon Saint’s mouth twitched, falling silent for a moment. Although he didn’t walk away from Cang Qinglong Saint’s side, he didn’t summon the Thunder Dragon Clan’s Dragon Saints either.

Lu Jin’an looked at Zhu Tianqi again, completely unworried about Cang Qinglong Saint’s change of mind.

Cang Qinglong Saint had grown old, like Sect Master Zheng; aging tends to bring sentimental hesitation.

Moreover, he was confident that Zhu Tianqi wouldn’t get close to Zhiyu at all.

And if Zhu Tianqi couldn’t get close, other dragons wouldn’t dare harm Zhiyu in the slightest, given she bore the pure ancestral bloodline that Zhu Tianqi always sought but never attained.

Rumble—

Once thoroughly merged with the ’Candle Dragon,’ the world suddenly resounded with a deep, heavy rumble.

Golden-black Dragon Qi burst upward, exploding with brilliant splendor, seemingly eternal and everlasting.

Amongst the radiance, Zhu Tianqi’s form began transforming.

His already towering physique grew even more robust, not reverting to his original form, but no longer resembling human either.

A dragon-man standing upright.

The Demon Clan could wield full power when reverting to their original form, but often their immense size becomes a direct target.

At this moment, Zhu Tianqi was in this final form capable of unleashing full strength in ’Transformation’ status, an experiment the Ancient Court had long pursued.

Combining demonic strength and human skill.

Lu Jin’an watched this scene calmly, witnessing Zhu Tianqi’s few coughs while golden-black blood spurted from multiple places on his body but quickly stopped.

"This power... is quite good."

Zhu Tianqi flexed his limbs, revealing a slight fascination and enjoyment of the ultimate Dragon Saint power below ascension.

"Unfortunately, you can’t sustain it for long."

Lu Jin’an walked as he spoke, while Zhu Tianqi raised both hands, easily tossing aside the surrounding Dragon Saints: "Killing you, that’s enough."

Zhu Tianqi licked his lips, stepping forward while continuing to ask: "But I’m curious, how are you resisting the pupil skill of the Outer Heaven Fox Clan?"

"In my world, outsiders cannot dominate."

Lu Jin’an walked faster and faster, although he could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Zhu Tianqi at that moment, the Vigorous Force and Spiritual Power within him boiled increasingly, reaching the peak.

Instinct feared, but simultaneously, excitement brewed.

I venture forth!

"I will shatter your Dao Domain."

Zhu Tianqi’s pace quickened too, as golden-black Dragon Qi surged, expanding the Dragon Domain.

The distance between the person and the dragon was not far, yet it felt like a chasm between them.

This was a contest between the Space Dao.

Until—

The endless void directly collapsed, radiant energy sweeping in all directions, turning the entire Qingqiu into a boundless purgatory in a blink.

Great sound is inaudible.

Great Dao is formless.

Only destruction remains.

······

"Master, the Sect Master has left."

In the Taiyi Hall, as Ji Wenchang finished speaking, Zheng Dongliu suddenly opened his eyes, as the Qi around him reversed abruptly, forcibly halting the extraction of life by the Heavenly Human Five Declines.
