1211 Patriarch Liang's Trump Card
'What's happening to the Dragon's Soul? I have never seen it acting like this before…' Xi ili silently stared at the spear in her grasp with a bewildered expression on her face.
As far as she was aware, the Dragon's Soul has never bonded with anyone within her family. She has always wondered why the Dragon's Soul was in her family's possession even though nobody could use it.
'The Dragon's Soul has remained asleep for countless years. It isn't a coincidence that it's showing signs of awakening now…'
A certain face appeared inside her mind, but before she could really think about it, she was disturbed by General Zheng.
"Did you already forget about ?!" General Zheng roared as he swung his halberd at Xi ili, who quickly reacted by lifting the Dragon's Soul to block the incoming attack.
Clang!
Xi ili was sent flying back by the imnse force coming from the strike, and she could even feel a numbing sensation in her hands afterward.
"Unfortunately, I do not have the ti to play with you anymore." General Zheng said, his aura slowly increasing as he began his transformation.
"Since you seem to be in a hurry, I will do you a favor and kill you soon." Xi ili said, and the atmosphere around her suddenly changed. Her hair grew slightly longer, her golden eyes began glowing, and golden scales began appearing on her body.
General Zheng snickered at her transformation, "Is that all your transformation can achieve? Besides looking a little different, you don't seem any stronger."
Xi ili didn't say anything and readied her spear.
When they clashed again a mont later, General Zheng's eyes widened when he felt the overwhelming strength behind Xi ili's strike and was pushed back several steps.
'Although she doesn't look any stronger and her cultivation remains the sa, she's actually several tis stronger than before her transformation!' After coming to this realization, General Zheng stopped underestimating Xi ili and began taking her seriously.
anwhile, several miles away, Patriarch Liang was experiencing a situation that he never even dread of being possible.
"What's wrong? You haven't opened your mouth in a while now." Yuan's voice resounded as Patriarch Liang held a panicked expression on his face.
Patriarch Liang gritted his teeth, but no words ca out.
"You were acting so high and mighty not long ago, too."
Yuan's figure suddenly disappeared before Patriarch Liang's eyes.
Half a second later, Patriarch Liang could sense a presence behind him, awakening his goosebumps.
'He's behind !' Patriarch Liang imdiately twisted his body to turn around while swinging his weapon in motion.
Clang!
A powerful ripple was created as Patriarch Liang's weapon flew into Yuan's Empyrean Overlord at full force. However, Yuan did not budge a single inch despite Patriarch Liang using his full strength.
"Hmph." Yuan released a low snort before swinging his arm.
The very next mont, Patriarch Liang's body was sent flying into the distance like a ragdoll being tossed across the street.
After stabilizing himself with much effort, Patriarch Liang did not look surprised by what had just happened, as he had been tossed several tis by now. Instead of surprise, Patriarch Liang had a terrified expression on his face
— looking like soone who could not find a way out of their trouble.
'Impossible… Why is he so strong? If he's using a spiritual treasure, there's no way sothing so powerful could last this long! He must be an expert in disguise! But how co we have never heard of him before?!'
"Just where the fuck have you been hiding all this ti?! And why are you showing yourself now?!" Patriarch Liang subconsciously shouted out what was inside his mind.
"Does any of that really matter?" Yuan calmly responded.
"FUUUUUCK!!!" Patriarch Liang suddenly tilted his head and released a deafening roar that caused the air to tremble.
When he looked at Yuan again, his eyes were bloodshot and desperate.
"This is my trump card, and I was saving this treasure for the Xi Family, but you are clearly a bigger threat than them as a whole…" Patriarch Liang muttered as he reached inside his spatial ring to bring out what appeared to be a single piece of golden scale.
Yuan raised an eyebrow after seeing the scale. He has no idea what he was looking at and why Patriarch Liang brought it out.
"Do you know what this is?" Patriarch Liang held the scale in front of him as he asked Yuan.
"Should I?" Yuan asked.
Patriarch Liang showed a wide smirk on his face as he spoke, "You probably know that there are two dragons that are accepted as Dragon Gods by the Dragon Race. The Great One and the Dragon Ancestor. However, what if I told you that there actually existed a third dragon— a Dragon God that surpassed the other two?"
"Oh?" Yuan's interest was imdiately piqued by such words.
"This third Dragon God also had a supre bloodline, but it was sohow incomparably stronger than the other two with a similar bloodline. If this Dragon God hadn't disappeared into thin air, it would be ruling the entire Dragon Race by now— I'm sure of it."
Patriarch Liang had a look of deep admiration as he spoke of this third Dragon God, almost as though he was speaking of his own ancestor.
"And this scale… This scale right here belongs to that third Dragon God. Even though it is only a tiny portion of a single piece of scale, it contains enough power to obliterate any dragon that is below the realm of Divinity."
"You may be strong, perhaps even at the cultivation level of Spirit Enlightennt, but you definitely haven't reached the Divine Realm yet! However! I will give you one last chance! Co work for and I will spare your life!"
"..."
After a mont of silence, Yuan spoke in a sarcastic tone, "I appreciate such a generous offer, but I very much would like to see what that scale can do, so I will have to refuse your offer."
Patriarch Liang sneered in disdain, "Then you can die for !"
He then clenched the golden scale and poured his spiritual energy into it, causing it to emit a bright and mythical light that filled the area with a rainbow-colored aurora.
