Chapter 7121 A Dance that Moves Heaven and Earth
When the two of them agreed to fight, the world shuddered, as if it could sense an apocalyptic battle approaching. Even the devil sea, which had been unusually calm as of late, began to surge chaotically.
Long Chen and Miao Yin had yet to make any moves; they weren’t even powering up. But the atmosphere was still suffocating.
“Heavens... I knew Master was powerful, but I didn’t think she was this powerful!”
“That Li Mingdao really was an idiot. He thought two triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns would be enough to capture our master? What a fool!”
“It’s too bad he’s already dead. I wish I could’ve seen his face when he realized what an imbecile he was!”
The experts on Miao Yin’s side were all excited. They had all seen Long Chen’s absurd power. If their master really could win against him, it would mean two things. One, her new subordinate could carry her to the top of the world all by himself. Two, she was powerful enough to get there anyway.
The void rumbled; the sea raged, and massive waves crashed against each other. Powerful gusts blew back Long Chen’s and Miao Yin’s hair. Their robes flapped in the wind.
Long Chen nodded at Miao Yin. “Impressive. It’s my first time seeing someone who could perfectly conceal their power in front of me. I’ve never met someone who made me completely misjudge them.”
He really had misjudged. Miao Yin might just be the strongest rival he had encountered in the same realm as him. Who would have thought that this woman was hiding such immense power behind her seemingly frail exterior? Now, he was actually looking forward to this fight.
Miao Yin said, “You flatter me. I hope you forgive me for my transgression just now. After all, I’ve wanted to conquer everything beneath the heavens ever since I was born. I don’t even know why I feel such a desire. But I am sure that my path is the Red Dust Dao. I have no choice but to use these methods to achieve my Dao. But don’t worry, if I lose, I will not renege from being your servant. And if I do happen to win, as long as you help me unify the world, I will definitely not mistreat you either! I will also restore your freedom and you can do as you please across the nine heavens and ten lands!”
Miao Yin was trying to express just how highly she viewed Long Chen. Even if she did win, Long Chen would be her strongest general, her most trusted aide. He definitely wouldn’t be a servant.
“Hey, what are you saying?” demanded Zi Yan. “The terms of the bet were already set. My husband has done exactly as he pleased across the entire world for his entire life. He has many wives, but not a single handmaid. My husband’s Dao-heart is now firm, and he has mastered all his divine technique. It’s time to enjoy his mastery.”
Hearing that, Miao Yin smiled slightly. “Alright, then it’ll be as you said. If I lose, I will abandon my ambitions and forever serve Mister Long Chen.”
Miao Yin clearly had great confidence in herself. Naturally, Zi Yan also had an equal amount of confidence in Long Chen.
Everyone on Miao Yin’s side tensed. Although Miao Yin was their master, she was too mysterious. Other than the golden-armored man, none of them had ever had a chance to see her fight. In fact, none of them was even qualified to have a private conversation with her. Thus, Miao Yin’s power had remained a mystery to them all this time.
They followed her not because of her personal power, but due to her heaven-defying ability to help them advance and break through bottlenecks. Right now, this particular bit made them quite wary about the fight. If Miao Yin did lose and end up as Long Chen’s handmaid, what about them? Would they be abandoned? They had only just seen hope, and now they would be cast aside, just like that? What were they supposed to do now that they’d abandoned their homes and sects for her?
Many of them had made grand declarations before leaving their homes. They definitely couldn’t return with nothing to show for it!
Long Chen raised his hand. “Alright, then. Ladies first!”
In front of this opponent full of unknowns, Long Chen’s competitive side was blazing.
“Then forgive me for this!” Miao Yin bowed slightly and then took a fighting stance. Her robes suddenly turned green.
Following that, the life energy of the world erupted. The raging sea instantly went still. Massive trees suddenly sprouted from the surface of the sea, and the deep-blue sea instantly became a luscious green!
This was not a manifestation; those trees were real! Most importantly, they were filled with majestic life energy. They were no weaker than the divine trees in Long Chen’s primal chaos space.
A total of one hundred eight massive trees grew. Their branches twined together to form a massive barrier. Underneath, the sea calmed down once more, and its mirror-like surface reflected the image of the trees. This world seemed like a mystical wonderland.
All the experts on the battleship were dumbfounded.
Miao Yin didn’t form hand seals or chant. She simply bowed slightly, and this divine technique was cast just like that. This kind of technique was something that not even Long Chen had seen before.
“Mister Long Chen, I’m about to start dancing. Be careful...”
Miao Yin slowly raised her hand. Her long arm gracefully swung through the air. A gentle expression appeared on her face. At the same time, majestic life energy suddenly burst out of the trees. It was like spring had come—the trees bloomed, and their fragrance filled the air.
Everyone on the battleship instantly collapsed, intoxicated by the scent. In fact, even Long Chen’s consciousness wavered when he smelled the fragrance. It was something that directly penetrated the soul, so there was no stopping it. Any defenses were useless in front of it. It invaded the heart directly.
This could be called the true power of the Grand Dao.
The one hundred and eight trees quivered, but instead of the sound of rustling leaves, what sounded was Miao Yin’s song.
Beautiful figures appeared within the crowns of the trees. They were playing all kinds of instruments—zithers, guitars, harps, flutes, and so on. There were one hundred eight trees, one hundred eight figures, and one hundred eight musical instruments. They played the music of the Grand Dao. Petals fell from the trees and rained down.
Much like everyone here, Miao Yin also had an intoxicated expression. She was fully immersed in the music of the Grand Dao. It was as if her bet with Long Chen was forgotten; she wasn’t even thinking about their battle. She simply danced amongst the petals. She was truly like a fairy of the nine heavens bringing grace and bliss to the mortal world. Every one of her movements was bewitching. Winds rose as her feet shuffled; life thrummed with a wave of her hand.
At some point, other than the area with one hundred eight trees and the surface of the sea underneath, the rest of the sea was gone. There was nothing beyond; only a boundless emerald plain. As for the central sea region, it had turned into a perfect circular mirror, strangely reminiscent of a dancing stage.
Long Chen stared blankly as Miao Yin danced. His thoughts seem to be cast into a distant past. Suddenly, a gentle, musical voice rang out in his ear.
“Sir, I am ashamed to ask, but is my dance beautiful?”
