Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 696 - 700: In the Midst of Promotion_1

BOOM!

It was high noon.

From deep within the imperial palace, a startling boom rang out, as if billions of thunderbolts had exploded simultaneously. The powerful shockwave caused many watching the ceremonial rituals to tremble, their faces filled with astonishment. Thousands of feet above in the sky, the Yu Zhou Ding, which had suppressed the Fortune, transformed into a streak of flowing light and flew into the grand temple. Once unshackled, the massive power of the unrestrained Fortune spread out in all directions like a flood from a broken dam, stirring up thousands of waves. It obscured the sun and enveloped the universe itself. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"ROAR!"

The Fortune Golden Dragon, situated within the sea of Fortune, emitted a dragon chant filled with excitement. This chant echoed throughout the universe, shaking the starry vault beyond the sky. Next, a Fortune Golden Dragon several hundred miles long soared into the sky, exuding a terrifying aura that permeated the nine heavens and swept across all directions.

"Such... such a massive Fortune!"

"Why is the Fortune of the Qin Dynasty Saint's Court so plentiful? Judging by its scale, it's already no weaker than the Fortune of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court!"

"Strange, why hasn't the Qin Dynasty Saint's Court burst open from the pressure of the Fortune?"

On the training field, the many spectators wore puzzled expressions. The lowest among them had cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, including many Martial Artists at the Profound Immortal Realm, who possessed extraordinary experience and could instantly sense the peculiarities of the Qin Dynasty's Fortune.

"The auspicious time has arrived! The Imperial Ascension Ritual officially begins!"

As the Fortune Golden Dragon took flight, a long, resounding voice echoed across the dome of heaven in the realm of the Nine Provinces. At the pinnacle of the nine heavens, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared, like a sun, illuminating the earth beneath. Upon careful observation, one could see a supreme imperial throne floating in the sky, rendered incandescently sacred by the supporting golden light. Under everyone's gaze, Qin Wudao, donned in a nine-dragon imperial robe, sat on the throne. His body was enveloped in boundless imperial laws, exuding an unsurpassable dominance and endless pressure that made the world submit to him.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Immediately after, dozens of figures tore through the sky, standing behind the throne. Their eyes glared, and their auras were extraordinary. Some held war spears, others firmly gripped halberds, and still others held golden ancient books. Terrifying auras erupted from them, stirring up a storm across the sky.

"Quite a few people showed up!"

Sitting on the throne, Qin Wudao looked down and glanced at the many uninvited powerful individuals from various factions, a hint of a cold sneer on his lips.

Of course, he was aware that most of the onlookers had come merely to enjoy the spectacle. However, that didn't matter! Today, the Qin Dynasty is to ascend to the Heavenly Court, and no one can obstruct it. Even if the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court or the Supreme Demon Palace were to make a move, it wouldn't change a thing.

As he thought of this, an unparalleled conviction of supremacy—as if he were the sole sovereign in heaven and on earth—erupted from within him.

"Reincarnation Passage, open!" Qin Wudao retracted his gaze and gave a majestically commanding order.

With the imperial decree issued, the Heaven and Earth Laws vibrated. The Fortune Golden Dragon roared at the sky, its mouth wide open, spewing out a beam of golden Fortune light that slammed toward the ground. Just as it was about to collide, the immense power of Fortune broke open the yin and yang, constructing a pale golden passage. This passage transcended dimensions, connecting directly to the Nether Capital in the underworld.

"Reincarnation Passage, open!"

Inside the Reincarnation Hall, Jiang Ziwen waited with a solemn demeanor, holding an official seal. Behind him appeared the dharma image of King Qin Guang, mobilizing the rules of the underworld and connecting to the Reincarnation Passage arriving from the world of Yang. An invisible force traversed Yin and Yang.

"It's a success!" Qin Wudao muttered to himself, sensing the intercommunication of Yin and Yang. His expression was calm, with no trace of elation.

Because he understood very well that this Reincarnation Passage might well be a trap. How could one possibly be happy about falling into a trap?

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Outside the realm of the Nine Provinces, the Will of the Heavens manifested. The Yin Yang Qi circulated, giving rise to a realm of dark clouds from which deafening thunder roared. This thundercloud spanned ninety thousand miles, with countless thunder dragons traversing through its layers, radiating a terrifying power that filled countless citizens of the Qin Dynasty Saint's Court with unease. However, those who had reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm in cultivation had no fear of this power.

The Heavenly Court!

On par with Heaven itself!

Although one will still encounter heavenly calamity during advancement, it is not imposed by 'the Path,' but by the Will of the Heavens. Moreover, the ones who endure the calamity are not the monarchs, but the Fortune of the nation. If the national strength is abundant and its Fortune plentiful, one can seamlessly overcome the heavenly calamity. However, if the nation is weak and its Fortune scarce, the heavenly calamity will disperse any excess Fortune, returning it to the level of a Saint's Court. Therefore, regardless of the outcome, the monarch will not be in danger.

"The appearance of the heavenly calamity signals the most dangerous moment!"

In a certain tower of the imperial palace, the Heavenly Sword Immortal stood by the window, his right hand on the hilt of his sword, strands of Sword Intent pulsating, ready to strike at any moment. If the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Supreme Demon Palace were to make a move, they would undoubtedly choose this moment. This is because the Fortune is at its weakest now; if subjected to an attack, it would directly affect the combat power of the Fortune Golden Dragon, leading to failure in overcoming the calamity. Typically, forces attempting to advance to a Heavenly Court would deploy all their foundational strength to prevent enemies from attacking.

"ROAR!"

The Fortune Golden Dragon roared, its large dragon eyes locked onto the heavenly lightning in the starry vault. With a strong intent to fight visible in its eyes, it swung its dragon tail, launching an attack under the watch of numerous onlookers.

"Th-this..." a Martial Artist stammered, so shocked he couldn't speak properly for a moment.

It's too insane! The Fortune Golden Dragon is actually attacking! This is unheard of, utterly unseen!

"Indeed!"

Deep within Heaven and Earth, 'Universal Heaven' watched this scene and gave a wry laugh, not surprised. Because, back in the primeval continent era, whenever a heavenly calamity occurred, every Martial Artist of the Qin Dynasty would actively attack it, even tearing the heavenly calamity apart. It stands to reason that the nature of a country determines the kind of Fortune Golden Dragon it nurtures.

BOOM!

Thunderclouds roiled, sending down a heavenly thunderbolt carrying a terrifying destructive will, capable of annihilating the Fortune Golden Dragon of any Saint's Court. Facing the descending heavenly thunder, a trace of disdain appeared in the eyes of the Fortune Golden Dragon. Opening its mouth, it exerted a terrifying pull and swallowed the heavenly thunder in one gulp.

"BURP!"

As if having enjoyed a delicious feast, the Fortune Golden Dragon patted its stomach and let out a satisfied belch, a look of delight on its face.

"Good heavens!"

"The Fortune Golden Dragon of the Qin Dynasty Saint's Court is truly outlandish!"

Following behind the Heavenly Sword Immortal, Hongyi was also astounded at this moment. What had he just seen? He saw the Fortune Golden Dragon swallow the heavenly thunder!

"Making a fuss over nothing!" The scene unfolding before him also made the Heavenly Sword Immortal's blood boil, his eyes blazing with excitement. "In the history of the human race, tearing apart heavenly calamities was quite normal. It's just that now…

"Alas! It's hard to put into words!" he continued, then, as if recalling something, he sighed, his face etched with desolation.

The Sky-Breaking Era! the Heavenly Sword Immortal mused. That was the most glorious time for the human race; they pierced through the 'Heavens' multiple times. Yet now, they have fallen to the point of being bullied by the All Clans.

As for the Heavenly Sword Immortal's words, Hongyi didn't really take them to heart. No matter how glorious the past was, it's gone and can never be reclaimed. But the Qin Dynasty Saint's Court's Fortune Golden Dragon swallowing heavenly thunder—that is happening right now! This event not only breaks historical precedent but also shatters people's understanding of the world!

"A monster!"

"A true monster has appeared!"

In the spectators' area, the expressions of many powerful beings from the All Clans changed dramatically. Their eyes filled with fury, apprehension, and killing intent...

To swallow heavenly thunder directly like that—in their eyes, this was an act of supreme disrespect! Just like the humans during the Sky-Breaking Era. Their rebellious spirit is not yet extinguished! Their wicked nature has not waned!
