Immortal Father
Chapter 770 - 770 269 Servant of the Shadows_2

770: Chapter 269: Servant of the Shadows_2 770: Chapter 269: Servant of the Shadows_2 “The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan shattered heaven and earth in ancient times, earning the loathing of heaven and earth—in fact, they were repelled by the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao had not fully emerged at the time.”

“The Dragon Clan could no longer proliferate within heaven and earth, so out of desperation, they had to withdraw and went to the Dragon Ancient Realm, which lies beyond heaven and earth, on the edge of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, essentially pilfering the Spiritual Energy of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.”

Li Ping’an blinked, “Pilfering?”

“Of course, to put it nicely, they are surviving by depending on this heaven and earth.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi said gravely:

“I’ve visited the Dragon Ancient Realm a few times and know something about the Dragon Clan’s issues.

“Yinglong was once my divine general, who played a critical role in the battle against Chiyou.

This can be considered a debt I owe to the Dragon Clan.”

“Earlier, I sent some trusted aides there, but every time they returned, they reported that the Dragon Ancient Realm was sealed by great formations and there was no response when calling out to Brother Yinglong.”

Li Ping’an pondered and said, “Then why don’t we call Immortal Huanglong to come along?”

“Huanglong?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi’s eyes brightened, “Speaking of this, I almost forgot, Huanglong is an ancient war dragon, one of the fortunate survivors of the great battle between dragons and phoenixes, and is of very high seniority…

It’s strange, why do I always forget about Uncle Huanglong?”

Li Ping’an added, “If we call him, we must also call Immortal Guiling and Chanjie should join us all at once.”

“You lad, you’re using the techniques of imperial balance so soon?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi chided with a laugh, grabbed Li Ping’an by the arm, and with a twirl of his scabbard beneath his feet, they headed back toward the primary heaven and earth.

And so, after another delay of half an hour, the giant scabbard ship had on board a drunken Immortal Huanglong and a sullen-faced Mother Gui Ling.

Guilingling complained, “We had just ordered a table of delicious food!

Cousin, what crazed notion has struck you to go to the Dragon Ancient Realm!

The Dragon Ancient Realm is even beyond the heavens!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi pointed at Li Ping’an, “The Heavenly Emperor insists on taking you!

He says that he doesn’t feel secure without you by his side, only sees darkness ahead and is clueless about what to do.”

“Oh?

Really?”

A cross of gleaming light appeared in Guilingling’s large eyes.

Li Ping’an, who was taking care of Immortal Huanglong beside them, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

Guilingling laughed, “Then I won’t pursue this matter with you, but the Dragon Ancient Realm is so far away, I’m going to sleep!

Call me when we arrive!”

Guilingling transformed into a tiny turtle the size of a thumb and flew into Li Ping’an’s sleeve.

Xuanyuan Huangdi immediately wore an amused expression and gave Li Ping’an a thumbs-up.

Li Ping’an shook his head, both crying and laughing.

He was too lazy to bother with His Majesty…

something was off.

Li Ping’an frowned and said, “Immortal Huanglong, what about the second Heavenly Dao merit that I gave you?”

The drunken Immortal Huanglong mumbled, “F-Forging a treasure…

”

“And where is the treasure?

Why can’t I sense it?”

“The treasure…

*burp*, was given away…

Hey, this Poor Daoist is now following the Heavenly Emperor, can I be in want of treasures or merits?

The old brothers can’t be forgotten…

*hic!*

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but raise his hand to his forehead.

Shaking the West is easy;

But enriching Huanglong is hard!

Hopeless, truly.

…

In the southeastern region of the Western Continent.

A volcano belched black smoke continuously, and amid the surrounding desert, tens of thousands of demon soldiers knelt trembling on the ground while several dozen True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals with the strength of great demons looked tensely toward the volcano.

Their lord, Clan Leader Kuangshan, was at a critical stage of a soul breakthrough.

The cultivation systems of the Hundred Clans were different from those of the Human Race; nowadays, the levels of Qi Cultivators from the Human Race were often used to classify them.

If Clan Leader Kuangshan’s breakthrough succeeded, it would be akin to a Human Race Qi Cultivator breaking through to Golden Immortal.

From then on, their clan would become a significant force in the Western Continent, able to move tens of thousands of miles north directly into the heart of the Hundred Clans’ territory, without having to live in fear on the borderlands of human power every day.

“In recent years, the lord’s breakthroughs have been swift.”

“The lord is a vegetarian.

It’s quite surprising that despite never seeing him eat human flesh, his soul has so smoothly reached the indestructible state.”

“Alas, our time has finally come.”

“This hasn’t succeeded yet.”

“Hope for the best for our lord!

Although he was only average to us in the past, now, he genuinely treats us well!”

“Could the lord be practicing some Secret Technique?

That vixen has been frequently visiting our place lately.”

Right at this moment.

The volcano suddenly erupted, spewing scalding lava towards the sky as the black smoke condensed into a thousand-foot-tall phantom of a demon bull, which bellowed upwards.

Moo—

An overwhelming aura burst forth from the earth and sky.

Several streaks of lightning appeared in the sky, striking the phantom demon bull, which started to crack.

But in the next instant, a beam of black light shone from directly below the volcano.

Within the light, Clan Leader Kuangshan’s stalwart body soared into the sky, his bulging muscles containing formidable power, quickly reaching the forehead of the phantom demon bull.

With his left hand propping up the sky and his right fist smashing down upon the volcano, more lava gushed forth, and strands of mottled yet turbulent Earth Spirit Force erupted.

The phantom demon bull rapidly solidified!

Several more bolts of lightning struck down like manifesting azure dragons.

Clan Leader Kuangshan snorted coldly, clenched his left fist, and struck the heavens!

Moo—

The demon bull raised its head and roared furiously, rapidly shrinking and burrowing into Clan Leader Kuangshan’s forehead, while his punch turned into several black flashes that shattered the lightning bolts.

The volcano completed its final eruption, like a grand firework display, with a thick layer of volcanic ash spreading through the heavens and the earth.

That overwhelming aura rose threefold then quietly faded.

Clan Leader Kuangshan, wearing only long pants, stood with his hands behind his back atop the cloud of ash, quietly sensing something, then pressed his hands downward, causing the volcanic ash to stick to the volcano.
