"The Western Totem, an ancient figure from the West, is at least a high-level Heavenly Rank expert, and possibly even a peak Heavenly Rank expert. Was the person who tricked him the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon? And who is this?"
"You don't even know the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon? That's an ancient relic, no weaker than the Evil Lord or the Western Totem!"
Through their conversation, the Celestial Realm members learned some secrets from the ancient era. For example, they discovered why a peak powerhouse from the Western Lands, known as the Totem, almost died in his slumber. It turned out he had been framed, and the person who did it seemed to be someone he knew.
Cao Ya confronted the Evil Lord, unleashing a barrage of magical power that annihilated Qin Bo. At the same time, he sensed the appearance of the Western Land Totem and, through his divine sense, "saw" the Measuring Ruler of Heaven.
The Measuring Ruler, a great supernatural power formed from the undying willpower of all living beings, is like Chen Nan's ruthless blade; another formidable figure is about to appear...
Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon? This guy is ruthless and black-hearted. He schemed against several of his old friends, turning them into nourishment for his dreams. Only the Western Totem survived by sheer luck...
The Western totem has come seeking revenge...
As Cao Ya thought to himself, these newly emerged powerhouses were all incredibly strong, each one more formidable than the last. The advanced Heavenly Rank was slowly becoming insufficient for them.
Cao Ya's sense of crisis intensified instantly.
The more people appear, the closer the final battle is to coming. If the second batch of ancient gods returns, Cao Ya's sense of urgency will immediately rise to its peak.
As Cao Ya pondered, a hearty laugh echoed from the Dark Continent, saying:
"Western Totem, you're really lucky! While I was asleep, I plotted against a few old friends. The others all died and became my supplies for advancing. Only you, with your good fortune, actually survived. Hehe, but now you're about to follow in the footsteps of those old friends!"
The Measuring Ruler transformed into a divine light and stopped bombarding Chen Nan, instead hovering in the sky.
"Shameless!" the Western Totem cursed angrily. He never expected that the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon would do such a shameless and heartless thing, and still have the nerve to talk about it so openly.
He had a head of blood-red hair, his bare upper body was covered with demonic patterns, and his lower body had no legs, but instead the tail of a giant snake, which was two or three zhang long.
A vertical eye emerged from the very center of its forehead, which was covered in demonic patterns. Although it remained closed, it exuded an aura of endless destruction. The Western Totem was an existence that predated the gods of the celestial realm. It had been secretly harmed and had been in a daze for countless years, its inner world almost lost forever.
Now he was absolutely certain that the one who had harmed him was the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon!
Enraged, the Western Totem charged directly at the Measuring Ruler that was suspended in mid-air.
Ugh~~~
At that moment, nine dragon roars resounded throughout the world, and the entire dark continent trembled, as if a peerless demon was awakening and about to overturn the earth.
Suddenly, a massive energy fluctuation emanated from one of those dozens of worlds of light.
Then, endless, dazzling divine light erupted in an instant, and for the first time in a moment, the dark world after the Great Cataclysm was as bright as day, and nine dragon roars resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
The land of that bright world split open, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Then, clods of earth flew out, and rocks pierced the clouds. From the shattered earth, a colossal creature, thousands of miles long, flew out!
Boom boom boom...
That colossal creature stirred up gusts of divine wind, soaring into the sky and flying out of the world of light. It arrived above the dark continent, hovering atop the heavens. Its wings flapped, disrupting space and stirring up chaotic air currents, revealing an unparalleled and terrifying form.
Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon!
The mastermind behind a series of deaths of powerful figures!
"Haha~~" The nine heads of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon laughed wildly at the same time, evil and arrogant, making it appear mad, but also extremely terrifying.
"Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon, you turtle bastard!" The Western Earth Totem trembled with rage, cursing as it launched a furious attack. The vertical eye on its forehead opened, unleashing a destructive beam of light that blasted through the void, as if it wanted to tear the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon to shreds immediately.
But those destructive divine lights were all shattered by the Measuring Ruler.
Buzzing~~
The Measuring Ruler swirled once, rapidly enlarging before merging into the body of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon. Its voice boomed like thunder, saying:
"Haha!! With the 'help' of those old friends, at this moment, my absolute power is the greatest in the world! At the same time, I also control the forbidden divine power of the Measuring Ruler and the Western Land Totem. Don't even mention you, even if the Evil Lord, Cao Ya, Chen Nan, and all of you Heavenly Rank experts come at me together, what do I have to fear? Who can stop me? Who dares to kill me?"
The arrogant roar of the nine-headed celestial dragon echoed through the dark world.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the assembled experts at the Heavenly Rank changed, turning somewhat grim.
Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon's words undoubtedly implied that all Heavenly Realm experts were beneath his feet, displaying unparalleled arrogance.
But feeling the power of that nine-headed dragon body, stirring up heaven and earth, destroying the universe, plus that forbidden divine power, the Measuring Ruler...
Even if they were very unhappy, they had to admit that the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon really had the guts to say such a thing!
On the moon above the Dugu family's territory, the group of Heavenly Rank cultivators heard the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon's roar, chuckled twice, but didn't respond or descend to the mortal realm to attack it.
"How arrogant! I really want to kill him!" Dugu Xiaoxuan muttered, grinding her snow-white teeth.
"Let it run rampant, this has nothing to do with us," another Celestial Rank said. "We have someone watching us all along, so we can't act rashly."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Rank members of the Dugu family finally frowned, and a flash of anger appeared in their eyes.
“Damn Chaos Remnants,” Dugu Xiaoxuan said, her expression eager to try her hand at fighting someone.
However, they were stopped by other Heavenly Realm experts.
Dugu Xiaoxuan pouted, feeling helpless.
At the same time, in the dark world below, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon's body grew larger once more. Its dragon body, spanning thousands of miles, resembled a divine mountain, stretching across the sky. Its eighteen enormous dragon eyes, like mountain peaks, coldly stared at everyone present.
Whether it's Cao Ya, Xie Zun, Xi Tu Teng, Chen Nan, Fa Zu, Hun Tian Zu Shen, Chen Lao Da, or any other Heavenly Rank experts, they've all been targeted by the Nine-Headed Heavenly Dragon.
Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be a dragon, and it challenged all the experts present.
Such an arrogant attitude, showing no regard for others, is infuriating.
"Today, I will collect the souls of all of you, open the path to heaven, and steal from the heavens! I will steal the power of the evil Heavenly Dao, and once again comprehend a forbidden divine power comparable to the Measuring Ruler of Heaven! I will even help myself cross the threshold of the Heaven-Defying level and attain the highest realm in the world!"
The nine-headed dragon roared, its tail tearing through the void as it slammed into the Western Land Totem. At the same time, its eighteen enormous dragon eyes unleashed a killing divine light, blasting towards a group of Heavenly Realm experts around it.
Even Cao Ya and Xie Zun, who were in the duel, were included.
