Chapter 7301 Time is Pressing

Long Chen was first delighted to hear the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign once more, but that delight quickly turned to worry. Something that the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign called “major trouble” had to be really major.

“Senior, what happened? Are you in danger?” asked Long Chen hastily.

“It’s not me. It’s your parents and everyone from the Martial Heaven Continent. They are being targeted!” replied the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign.

Long Chen paled.

“Back when the Martial Heaven Continent was destroyed, I used my power to transport them to a star-field called the Wisteria Star Sea. There’s constant fighting there, just like in most places, but the Martial Heaven Continent is entirely capable of defending itself with its power, and I thought that the pressure from the outside would make them unite and fight together.

“A while ago, I suddenly sensed a strange energy that seemed to lock onto that star-field. When I checked it, I didn’t find anything, and I thought that I was just worrying over nothing. But once you got close to the Wall of Sighs, I sensed the karmic luck. When I checked again, I found that people from the immortal world have managed to send people into the mortal world! They are slowly approaching the Wisteria Star Sea, and they’re heading there directly, so they are clearly after your family!”

Long Chen’s killing intent instantly surged. He demanded to know, “How did they pass through the Wall of Sighs?!”

The Wall of Sighs was something that even Heavenly Sovereigns were entirely helpless against. And if it was just a strand of a god’s soul taking over a puppet in the mortal world, they would be limited by the mortal world’s laws, and they would still be killable. Furthermore, if such a puppet was killed, it would damage the god’s soul, and cause a karmic backlash.

As a result, while Lord Brahma had countless followers littering the mortal world, there were practically no records of his underlings in the immortal world descending to the mortal world. The price was simply too great, and it wasn’t worth it.

Yet now, someone had managed to sneak in. Not only were they able to cross the Wall of Sighs, but they were also able to accurately lock onto Long Chen’s family. They had definitely invested a great deal into this endeavor. Of course, Long Chen instantly thought of Lord Brahma. The Martial Heaven Continent’s turmoil and its eventual destruction had all been because of Lord Brahma. Naturally, he was the number one suspect.

However, the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign immediately shot that down, before Long Chen could even say anything. “It isn’t Lord Brahma. I have been keeping an eye on the mortal world, and if his people had made a move, I would have immediately sensed it!”

Not Lord Brahma? Then who the hell is it? How many people have that kind of ability?

“The great era has come. The order of the Heavenly Daos has been upset, and my power cannot descend onto the mortal world...” The Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign sighed. This time, it truly was powerless, hence its statement about “major trouble.”

“Senior, how long do you think it will take for them to arrive?” asked Long Chen.

“From what I can tell, they only have a rough location marker, but based on their speed and the direction they’re heading in, I believe they will be able to discover the exact place in half a year or so.”

The Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign’s voice was heavy. This was truly a problem.

“Half a year...”

The gears in Long Chen’s mind spun at breakneck speed as he considered things. He did his best to remain calm and figure out how to get out of this situation.

“Someone has set their sights on us! Sever the spiritual connection!”

Suddenly, Long Chen felt a burst of pain in his soul, and his hair stood on end. A sense of impending doom suddenly appeared, but it disappeared just as fast when their spiritual connection broke.

Just then, lightning filled this space. Long Chen hadn’t even realized what was going on before a terrifying aura struck him, almost making him cough up blood. It was a good thing his astral energy had automatically protected him, preventing him from being injured.

As he flew back, he looked up to see that tribulation clouds had filled the sky. A giant lightning hand stretched out towards the palace master. It was absolutely enormous, so big that even the palace master’s massive body seemed tiny in front of it.

The hand hadn’t even fallen before a terrifying pressure blew Long Chen back from the edge of the tribulation. The wild destructive will made his soul ache.

This is a Heavenly Sovereign’s tribulation? It really is terrifying!

Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat. This heavenly tribulation hadn’t even truly started, but this colossal might was enough to tear apart everything under heaven. Even an experienced tribulation-taker like Long Chen didn’t dare to face such cataclysmic power. It really could kill him in one blow.

The palace master’s giant dragon head looked up at that massive lightning hand. Runes ignited atop all of his black scales. His bloodline power was gathering, but he didn’t move.

Just as the hand was about to fall, the land exploded like a geyser, and strange lifeforms covered in black lightning came flying out. These strange lifeforms looked like wolves, but they had horns on their heads. They opened their mouths, unleashing streaks of black light that formed a massive net around the palace master.

“Outsider laws and curse energy...”

Long Chen’s expression changed. As expected, the outsider laws had started their interference. These creatures were not true lifeforms, but manifestations of the Grand Dao. Long Chen could tell that they had no physical bodies, despite their appearance, and ordinary attacks couldn’t do anything to them. Grand Dao power was the only thing that worked against such creatures.

However, the palace master needed all his Grand Dao power to resist the tribulation. If he used it against these creatures, he would then be powerless against the heavenly lightning. In addition, no one could guarantee that killing them would stop the interference of the outsider Grand Dao power. If he killed one batch and another one appeared, they would just end up exhausting him to death.

Just as Long Chen was wondering what to do, the palace master finally made his move. He opened his mouth, and a pearl flew out.

“The dragon pearl!”[1]

Long Chen’s eyes widened. The dragon pearl was a bit similar to a demonic beast’s crystal core or a demonic beast’s Neidan; it was a concentration of their life’s cultivation. It was not to be used lightly. Yet, the palace master had chosen to use his dragon pearl right from the get-go. What was it that forced him to use such a trump card at this point?

BOOM!

The dragon pearl’s supreme dragon might raged, and Blood Qi erupted. The lightning hand was torn apart by the dragon pearl and transformed into lightning runes.

Long Chen clearly saw two types of lightning runes within the chaos. One portion gave off an evil feeling, while the other emitted a sacred aura.

“I see...” Long Chen had just figured out what was going on when the palace master’s massive body devoured the lightning runes emitting the sacred aura. Holy light enveloped him, and his aura instantly surged in power. At the same time, his tail whipped towards those lifeforms coming from the ground. It seemed to ignore spatial laws as it struck them all, blowing them to pieces. Black liquid flew in every direction.

Seeing that black liquid, Long Chen had a thought. He waved his hand and summoned Cang Lu.

This thing might be useful!

Following Long Chen’s orders, Cang Lu formed hand seals. His wings spread, and the black liquid flying over to them was devoured in one gulp.

1. In Chinese mythology, dragons are often depicted holding or chasing a pearl-like bead. There are multiple theories about the origin and exact applications of this pearl, but they all agree that the pearl empowers the dragon, and in some stories it contains the dragon’s entire power. It represents energy, wisdom, and prosperity. In Buddhism, it is associated with the cintamani bead, which has various magical properties like purifying water, curing diseases, granting food and clothing, or even fulfilling wishes outright. ☜
