Chapter 112 The Dragon Gate Appears! Mu Yu's Forced Transformation into a Dragon Stuns Everyone
Chu Chongjin's figure plummeted rapidly, the golden dragon aura surrounding him being the only light in this darkness.
He could sense a vast and malevolent aura rapidly taking shape below.
Finally, we're on solid ground.
He landed in the center of that huge underground chamber.
Looking up, I saw the figure shrouded in thick black mist.
No, that can no longer be called human.
The black mist gradually dissipated, revealing Chu Xuanji's current appearance.
His body was covered by a layer of black, scale-like keratin, his hands had turned into sharp bone claws, his face was covered with strange black patterns, and his eyes had turned completely blood red.
Behind him, a pair of tattered, bat-like fleshy wings even sprouted.
His aura was violent and chaotic.
"Chu Chongjin..."
Chu Xuanji spoke, his voice now a hoarse, inhuman roar.
"Look at me, this is true power!"
"What true dragon emperor, what destiny bestowed upon him, it's all bullshit!"
"As long as I am strong enough, I am the heavens!"
He suddenly spread his wings, and a foul-smelling gust of wind swept through the entire secret chamber.
Chu Chongjin looked at him with icy eyes.
"Stubborn to the end."
"You have no idea what power is."
"You look like neither human nor ghost; you're just a pathetic wretch enslaved by power."
"shut up!"
Chu Xuanji was hit where it hurt and flew into a rage.
He roared, his figure flashed, transforming into a black lightning bolt, his claws aimed straight for Chu Chongjin's heart.
quick!
Extremely fast!
However, his claws stopped three inches from Chu Chongjin's chest, unable to advance any further.
A faint golden halo enveloped Chu Chongjin.
That is the aura of a true dragon, the most fundamental protective energy.
"How...is this possible?" Chu Xuanji's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Your power is to devour, to plunder, to be a tree without roots, water without a source."
Chu Chongjin's voice clearly reached his ears.
"And my strength comes from this land and its millions of people."
"As long as they are still here, my strength will never cease."
He raised his hand and struck out with the same palm.
This palm strike, seemingly light and airy, carried a majestic and unparalleled power.
hold head high--!
The golden dragon roared, and its palm wind transformed into a giant dragon claw, which slammed into Chu Xuanji's chest.
"puff!"
Chu Xuanji was struck as if by lightning, his entire body flying backward and crashing heavily into the stone wall in the distance, his hard black keratin layer shattering inch by inch.
What he vomited was black blood.
"No...I won't lose..."
Chu Xuanji struggled to get up from the ground, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
"I haven't lost yet!"
"Great formation! Devour it!"
He poured all his remaining power into the Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Formation beneath his feet.
The entire formation emitted a humming sound, as if it were about to collapse under the strain.
Above the palace, above the capital, the sea of national fortune that had been barely maintained by Mu Yu's good luck collapsed instantly!
A massive amount of national fortune, like a flood bursting its banks, was frantically pumped into the ground.
Princess Anguo's Mansion.
"puff!"
Mu Yu's small body trembled, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The pond of blessings in her mind had completely dried up, leaving not a single drop of water.
Everything went black before her eyes, and she completely lost consciousness.
"Little Yu'er!" Mu Fang's horrified roar rang out.
Underground chamber.
Having received a massive replenishment of national fortune, Chu Xuanji's injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The black aura surrounding him intensified once more.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He burst into wild laughter.
"Do you see that, Chu Chongjin? This is the difference between you and me!"
"You can kill me once, you can kill me twice! But as long as this great formation is still in place, as long as the nation's fortune hasn't been drained, I cannot be killed!"
"And what about you? How many more times can you use your dragon energy?"
Chu Chongjin's expression did indeed become serious.
He could feel his true dragon energy being rapidly depleted in the face of the opponent's endless evil energy.
If this continues, he will eventually be worn down and die.
We must decide the outcome with one decisive blow!
The core of this formation must be completely destroyed!
Chu Chongjin closed his eyes, no longer looking at Chu Xuanji, who seemed to have gone mad.
His heart calmed down.
He felt the lamentations of this land, and the fear of all people.
I also felt those faint yet incredibly firm beliefs converging from all directions.
That was the people's expectation of him.
That was the trust the soldiers of the Jingnan Army had in him.
That was the support from Mu Fang, Xiao Beichen, Yan Ziche, and the others for him.
And... that small, yet warmer than the sun, golden blessing that belonged to Mu Yu.
Although it had become so faint as to be almost gone, it still existed, like a seed that had taken root in his dragon aura.
"I see……"
Chu Chongjin slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were devoid of murderous intent, only filled with clarity.
"Chu Xuanji, thank you for letting me understand what a true emperor is."
"An emperor is not one of power, but one of protection."
He gathered all the true dragon energy into his right hand.
The light was no longer a domineering, dazzling gold, but had turned into a warm, jade-like milky white.
That is the spirit of a benevolent person.
That is the light of protection.
"it's over."
He took a step and instantly appeared in front of Chu Xuanji.
With one finger, she touched his brow.
"No--!"
Chu Xuanji was horrified to discover that his proud power had vanished instantly in the face of this milky white light, as if it had encountered its nemesis.
He tried to dodge, but found that he couldn't move his body at all.
He could only watch helplessly as that finger drew closer and closer to him.
Her fingertips landed on his brow.
There was no loud noise, no explosion.
Only endless purifying light emanated from between Chu Xuanji's brows and spread throughout his entire body.
The black keratin layer on his body, like weathered sand and gravel, flaked off in a rustling sound.
The blood red in his eyes gradually faded, restoring their clear black and white appearance.
He transformed back into the gentle and refined Sikong Ming, no, he became the Second Prince Chu Xuanji.
"So that's how it is..."
He muttered to himself, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Then, his body turned into dust that filled the sky.
A once-powerful figure vanished into thin air.
With Chu Xuanji's death, the core of the Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Formation also completely collapsed.
However, the nation's fortune that has been drained away cannot be recovered.
The clouds of national fortune of the Great Chu became extremely thin, as if they would dissipate at any moment.
Just then.
While in a coma, Mu Yu's consciousness found itself in a strange space.
Before her stood a colossal Dragon Gate, radiating a seven-colored glow.
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the final mission: Assist the True Dragon in quelling the rebellion and saving the world.]
[Total fortune points accumulated have reached the target.]
With the nation's fortunes stable and the people's hearts at ease, the Dragon Gate has been rebuilt.
【Host, please leap over the dragon gate!】
The scroll of the Koi Carp and Auspicious Clouds Record slowly unfurled before her, transforming into a golden staircase leading to the Dragon Gate.
Mu Yu looked at the beautiful Dragon Gate and pouted.
"I don't want to."
She didn't want to become one of those long, legless worms.
She wanted to go home and eat the chicken wings her father used to roast.
However, her body flew uncontrollably toward the Dragon Gate.
No!
She waved her little hands and feet, struggling in vain.
Just as she was about to pass through the Dragon Gate.
She thought she heard her ninth brother's voice.
"Little Yu'er, don't be afraid."
So, she was truly no longer afraid.
She closed her eyes, and her small body transformed into a streak of light, leaping resolutely into the Dragon Gate.
boom--!
Throughout the entire territory of the Great Chu, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Golden rain fell from the sky.
Withered trees sprout new buds.
The dried-up river is filled again.
People who were sick regained their health.
Above the palace, the thin sea of national fortune clouds, nourished by the golden rain of light, grew thicker and more solid at an incredible speed, even more dazzling than before!
