Chapter 974: The Despicable Outsider

The Golden Dragon King turned around and saw Chen Huaian suspended within the chaotic black mist.

His plain white robe remained completely still, while a faint golden power swirled around him like clouds and mist.

The golden mist condensed around him into a shield resembling an eggshell, isolating all the chaotic black mist outside.

What's more...

The Golden Dragon King saw that this shield was actually actively absorbing the Chaos Qi!

In that instant, it deeply felt the gap between itself and Chen Huaian.

It couldn't resist that chaotic black mist at all.

It could only watch helplessly as its scales were eroded, gradually decaying, and the divine power within its body steadily drained away... while Chen Huaian remained completely unscathed!

"Do you feel it now?

Chen Huaian looked coldly at the Golden Dragon King's grim expression, his tone indifferent,

"You have stayed in your own world for too long, so long that you've forgotten there is always someone greater, and a sky beyond the sky!"

Chen Huaian's words were like sharp blades, tearing through the last layer of its arrogant mask and driving it completely mad.

"ROAR—! You're courting death!" The Golden Dragon King roared wildly, its previously shrunken body suddenly unfurling.

It allowed the chaotic aura to erode its body.

It allowed its divine power to drain away even faster.

It knew it had no way back, no means to send information to the outside world.

Thus, to escape this predicament, the only option was a fight to the death!

Golden dragon wings spread open within the chaos.

But those wings, which could be described as blotting out the sky in the Canglan Realm, were utterly insignificant within the Sea of Chaos.

Even the radiance emanating from its body was devoured by the chaotic black mist.

The Golden Dragon King clenched its dragon claws, condensing the Canglan Realm's world origin and all the Laws it controlled into numerous golden World Rings.

Thunder, earth, ocean, life and death, time and space... all the supreme Laws of the Canglan Realm circulated around it.

Seeing this, Chen Huaian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "When it comes to staying true to one's original intent..."

"Die!"

The Golden Dragon King took a deep breath.

The World Rings beneath it, containing the power of Canglan's Laws, blazed brightly. A violent energy poured into its dragon body, allowing it to temporarily resist the erosion of chaos.

Streams of energy converged towards its head, finally condensing into a rapidly expanding ball of light within its mouth.

Its sharp claws had long since dulled.

Its teeth had been corroded by chaos.

— Breath Attack.

The most primitive and brutal method of attack.

Compressing all Law power into a single beam of breath, pouring the power of an entire world into it, was the only offensive method the Golden Dragon King could still use now.

ROAR—!

The terrifying impact force when the breath erupted even caused the Golden Dragon King to involuntarily rear its head back, forcing it to lower its head forcefully to aim the dragon breath.

And this energy wave, condensed from the Laws of the Canglan Realm, surged forth to devour Chen Huaian.

This strike was the Golden Dragon King's full-power blow as the master of a world. Even the Canglan Realm itself would shatter if struck by it!

Within this breath.

One could see the changing of seasons, the flow of time.

One could see ocean currents surging, flames burning.

One could see the alternation of light and dark, the cycle of life and death.

The chaotic black mist failed to weaken it. In a sense, the level of this breath was already on par with chaos itself.

Facing this full-power strike, Chen Huaian merely slowly raised a hand.

The vertical pupil between his brows, on the verge of opening, now fully opened at this moment.

A sweep of its golden gaze passed over, and that breath carrying the world's Laws actually froze within the chaos. Even time itself seemed to come to a complete halt under that gaze.

"There's one thing you seem to have forgotten."

Chen Huaian placed one hand behind his back, the other resting on his sword hilt, speaking lightly:

"This Venerable One has absorbed so many Divine Sparks. In a sense... my mastery over the Laws of the Canglan Realm seems to surpass even yours."

"Moreover, this is the home ground of the Saint realm. How dare a mere insect like you, who hasn't even touched the threshold of a Quasi-Saint, act so presumptuously?"

"Hah! How utterly ignorant!"

With a light scoff.

Shing—!

The Chaos Flying Sword flew out in response.

A pale white sword light flashed, briefly tearing open a rift within the chaos.

The halted time resumed its flow, but could only follow the direction of the sword light, heading towards annihilation.

The Golden Dragon King's full-power breath, before this single sword strike, melted away instantly like snow meeting fire.

To say the Law power was torn apart by the sword light would be an understatement; it was more like it was absorbed by the chaos torn open by the sword.

Within that rift of shattered chaos was the place where all things annihilated, where even the Great Dao was born and extinguished within. Even a Saint entering would perish.

Thwip—

The residual sword light passed through the Golden Dragon King's body without any obstruction, cleaving it in two.

Chaotic black mist surged wildly into the wound, devouring the Golden Dragon King's remaining origin and life force.

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Dragon King's body shrank by a third.

Seeing this, Chen Huaian couldn't help but feel a pang of distress.

He had dragged the Golden Dragon King into the Sea of Chaos precisely because he feared affecting Li Qingran, Poseidon, and the other deities. He never expected this Golden Dragon King to be so weak.

Forget fighting him.

It couldn't even resist the chaotic black mist.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon King was like a chicken on a chopping block, still struggling frantically. The origin devoured by chaos was like splattering blood, all wasted.

Chen Huaan quickly flashed and appeared, sitting cross-legged right on the Golden Dragon King's forehead.

His hands formed seals, and the Heavenly Demon Art opened wide.

The ferocious Heavenly Demon Law Manifestation wrapped its arms around the Golden Dragon King's neck, competing with the chaotic black mist to seize the Golden Dragon King's origin power.

"No! Impossible! I am the master of the Canglan Realm! I am the supreme Dragon God!"

The Golden Dragon King roared madly, opening its maw wide to unleash another wave of breath.

However, Chen Huaian merely flicked a finger. A wisp of Sword Qi flew into the Golden Dragon King's mouth, and the just-condensed origin power, along with its mouthful of fangs, exploded.

"Behave. Can't you just wait quietly for death?"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Demon Law Manifestation took a bite out of the Golden Dragon King's neck.

Chen Huaian accelerated the absorption rate of the origin.

He had to act fast.

Otherwise, it would all be swallowed clean by the chaotic black mist.

The Golden Dragon King despaired.

It was like a mouse being toyed with by a cat. All its struggles, in the face of an absolute difference in strength, seemed laughably feeble.

It finally understood that the man before it was not an existence it could contend with at all.

Yet, it couldn't comprehend how Chen Huaian had suddenly become so strong, how he had suddenly absorbed the Divine Sparks of so many deities. Where did his soul get such immense carrying capacity? Soul and divine power complement each other. Just as a mortal's soul fundamentally cannot harness a deity's power.

"What... what exactly are you?"

The Golden Dragon King's eyes gradually grew turbid, its body shrinking smaller and smaller.

Its age was regressing, from an ancient dragon to an adult dragon to a juvenile dragon, but its lifespan wasn't extending. Instead, it became like a candle flickering in the wind, growing increasingly ethereal.

Chen Huaian discerned what the Golden Dragon King truly wanted to ask.

He chuckled lightly: "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Chen Huaian, a Golden Immortal... oh no, now you should address This Venerable One as a Quasi-Saint!"

"An outsider..." The Golden Dragon King's body, now only the size of a hatchling, emitted a resentful, venomous lament: "A despicable outsider..."

As its voice faded.

Its body completely vanished.

Ultimately transforming into a dragon pearl the size of an adult's fist, entirely golden in color.
