Chapter 1363: Chapter 1367: Nine Kun Dragons

Unwilling...

The depths of the heart brimmed with such unwillingness, so it reflected deeply upon the body!

If one were truly willing, truly resigned to rotting in the quagmire of filth, vanishing amid humility, then from the very start, their body would never have endured the intensity of such torment!

It was the pressure from the outside world, the disdain of those superior beings, that had driven one into the labyrinth of despair within their spirit!

Closing its eyes, the Nine-Tailed Dragon slowly raised its head.

As a member of the Fox Dragon clan, it possessed the most beautiful fur in the world. Yet now, it had been charred pitch-black, its jade-like skin marred and blistered. But beneath the scorching blaze of golden radiance, it stood tall and proud, passing through the mountain walls forged by the Heavenly Tribulation Incarnations of the Upper Realm—not as one inferior, but as one blazing with audacity!

This audacity instantly ignited the rage of all the Heavenly Tribulation Incarnations present, who now embodied the will of the heavens themselves, acting as instruments of divine punishment for this defiant little Fox Spirit!

Descend!!

Fall back down!!

Trample it, crush it, again and again—so long as they could utterly obliterate its soul, their supreme dignity would remain unchallenged!!

They were the heavens!!

A mortal spirit defying the heavens to ascend was a sin punishable by death!!!

Even those cultivators who had practiced for countless millennia still could not touch the Moon Radiance Godly Realm. And you, a mere Fox Spirit with only a few years of cultivation, what right do you have to ascend to the ranks of the Immortal Gods in the Upper Realm?!

Zhu Minglang looked at these utterly hideous faces, his heart unsurprised, as if he had already foreseen all this.

The Dragon Gate—this was but a microcosm of the Dragon Gate!

Judging by qualification, cultivation, and foundation, the Nine-Tailed Dragon indeed fell far short of those queued to ascend the godly stairway, those Immortal Gods. There were too many stronger beings of greater excellence.

But so what!

From the moment he laid eyes on the Nine-Tailed Dragon at the Young Spirit Court, it was destined to be unlike these vultures and fiends!

If he said it could ascend, it most certainly could!

It was not solely about how determined the will is, nor how much latent power could be unleashed, but about how its former brilliance had become its greatest reliance in this very moment!

The Nine-Tailed Dragon’s task was merely to shatter its Heart Demon, resolutely climb upward, and leave the rest to its comrades!

"Earthbound Dragon! Annihilate any who dare approach the Divine Soul of the Nine-Tailed Dragon!"

"Sword Spirit Dragon! If Jiu He’s Heavenly Soul Incarnation dares to come, cut him down all the same!!!"

Zhu Minglang declared.

With the Earthbound Dragon in front and the Red Sun behind!

How could the Heavenly Dao be dictated by the likes of Jiu He?!

Let them cast curses to hinder its ascent—what of it? When Heavenly Gods come, they’ll slay the Heavenly Gods; when Saint Buddhas confront them, they’ll slay the Saint Buddhas!

With the Twin Dragon Method defending it, the Nine-Tailed Dragon only needed to continue forward with its eyes closed, climbing to the pinnacle its Divine Soul sought!

For most of the journey ahead, the Nine-Tailed Dragon could only rely on itself.

But for this last segment of sudden, imposed obstacles—the deliberate interference of Superior Gods—the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon and Red Sun stood ready to clear the path!

The Sword Spirit Dragon hovered above the clouds, overlooking those so-called "incarnations of the Upper Realm."

The Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon’s presence had already subdued everything. It merely awaited Jiu He.

However, Jiu He’s Heavenly Soul did not make an appearance. Likely, having been warned by some mysterious Obscured God, he became more restrained, not daring to arbitrarily abuse his divine authority.

Without Jiu He, the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon was enough.

When the countless Heavenly Tribulation Incarnations saw the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon acting as the Nine-Tailed Dragon’s protector, each one became like ostriches on a beach, burying their heads in the sand, employing various illusionary techniques to avoid having their true forms exposed.

Under the protection of the Ten Thousand Dread-Earthbound Dragon, the Nine-Tailed Dragon conquered the final stretch. The once-scorching golden light was no longer painful but warm, like soaking in a sacred spring of healing.

In truth, the golden light was healing it!

Its flesh and bones were swiftly mended, its skin visibly beginning to regenerate. The Nine-Tailed Dragon’s battered body radiated with dazzling dragon light once again, and its flowing fur, now tinged with the hues of golden dawn, danced like an ethereal silk painting—absolutely breathtaking!

The Nine-Tailed Dragon now gleamed in majestic golden splendor. Its fur resembled a celestial tapestry from the most glorious of eras, imbued with transcendent and mysterious hues of cyan gold, ochre sun, cinnabar red, azure purple, and silvery mica, woven into a divine masterpiece!

No longer restrained, no longer subdued. Its proud bearing and radiant brilliance were fully displayed, effortlessly surpassing all the Heavenly Tribulation Incarnations in both posture and presence!

The impurities dissipated.

The taunts fell silent.

Looking down, the shadowy figures once encircling it were now utterly insignificant.

But the familiar figures that had supported and sheltered it felt even more precious.

It gently descended, its crimson-tinged fur billowing like immortal silk belts. Back when it was still a Nine-Tailed Fox, it had carried a heavy presence of fox demon essence. But now, Xian Wei seemed like a divine beast awakened from an ancient mural, a reincarnation of a sage, its entire being suffused with luminous Yaoguang!

Resplendent and scorching, glorious and mysterious. Zhu Minglang gazed at the Nine-Tailed Dragon’s transformation, his heart too stirred for words.

The Moon Radiance Realm—it had finally pierced through the clouds, and the Nine-Tailed Dragon successfully ascended to become the Nine Kun Dragons!

The Ascending Dragon Gate began to dissipate, winds calmed and clouds scattered, and the chaotic upheaval disappeared throughout the skies and earth. The Heavenly Tribulation Incarnations fled like scattered birds and beasts. Though their unwillingness and wrath burned, even as they returned to their true forms to protest the heavens’ injustice...

The reality was clear before them: the Nine-Tailed Dragon had completed its ascension, becoming a magnificent full moon in this world. Though not one of the thirty official Gods of the New Moon, it still eclipsed countless gods dotting the starry firmament!

As Zhu Minglang departed the Desolate Sea with the Nine Kun Dragons, the ocean floor of this barren expanse bloomed with countless underwater flowers, dense as a coral reef, breathtaking in their beauty.

This miraculous phenomenon persisted, despite the season of frost. The islands across the South Mountain Sea burst into vibrant blooms of Spirit Flowers, dead trees sprouted new life, and countless beasts and birds seemed blessed with sudden spiritual awakening, many gaining the first sparks of cultivation...

It was as if a Time Wave had swept through!

Even Zhu Minglang could hardly believe the flourishing divine spectacle all around him. Could it truly be merely the consequence of the Nine-Tailed Dragon ascending to Moon Radiance? This once-fallow sea and its islands now seemed like an ethereal paradise!

"Awooooooo~~~~~~~~!"

The miraculous sight had Little Glutton exuberant, as it opened its voracious maw, preparing for a full-scale feast!

"You’re only allowed to eat stones and soil! Do not harm any living beings, lest you ruin my virtuous cultivation!" Zhu Minglang quickly issued a stern command.

Little Glutton looked utterly disgruntled.

We created this vitality—why can’t I feast on it? And now we’re just gifting it to those dirt-covered, foolhardy beasts and birds?

"Consider it an act of benevolence. Any dirt, rocks, minerals, or crystals are yours to devour as you please," Zhu Minglang replied.

"Awoo~~~"

So many rules—had I known, I wouldn’t have become a Dragon for this Dragon Shepherd.

What’s so bad about being an Evil Dragon? Gods can be eaten, Buddhas can be stewed.
