“River Ji Dragon Seal!”
The First Prince of River Ji, seated above the deity, exclaid in surprise, his haughty deanor finally collapsing.
His eyes were fixed on Shen Yuan, and he demanded angrily:
“How is this possible?”
“Wiry is it in your hands!”
“What exactly is your relationship with the Yunng Dragon Sovereign?”
In the Dragon Lord Mam Hall, a terrifying dragon might pressed down on Shen Yuan like a mountain.
Yet, just as the dragon might was about to touch Shen Yuan’s body, the seal Shen Yuan held in his hand absorbed all the dragon might.
The quaint exterior of the seal didn’t radiate an iota of divinity, looking no more valuable than a common stone.
Shen Yuan looked at the dismayed Prince Ji Du, a satisfied smile finally breaking out on his face.
The River Ji Dragon Seal in his hand was the very one gifted to him by the Yunng Dragon Sovereign.
Back when he was within the dream of ten thousand years, the Yunng Dragon Sovereign had slain the dream version of Prince Ji Du, casually tossing the River Ji Dragon Seal once used by the prince to Shen Yuan.
At that ti, Shen Yuan assud it was a creation of the dream, but when he erged, he was surprised to find the River Ji Dragon Seal had left the dream along with him.
The River Ji Dragon Seal in the hands of Yunng Dragon Sovereign wasn’t a product of the dream, but an actual existence!
However, Shen Yuan wasn’t in control of the river arteries of River Ji, nor was he a True Dragon of the Dragon Tribe, so he couldn’t activate the power of the River Ji Dragon Seal.
In Shen Yuan’s hands, the River Ji Dragon Seal was as common as a stone, hence he didn’t pay attention to it.
Ironically, the treasure that Shen Yuan couldn’t use turned out to have unexpected effects here, making Shen Yuan marvel at the unpredictability of fate.
Prince Ji Du’s eyes were bloodshot.
It could be said that everything tragic happening to him now was due to this lost River Ji Dragon Seal.
In the assassination plot against Yunng Dragon Sovereign thousands of years ago, Prince Ji Du held all the advantages, yet Yunng Dragon Sovereign’s strength far exceeded his expectations.
Despite being besieged and cut off from the authority of the waters, Yunng Dragon Sovereign used his powerful strength to break through.
Even during the chaotic battle, Yunng Dragon Sovereign severely wounded the overconfident Prince Ji Du and snatched the River Ji Dragon Seal that symbolized the ancestral waters of River Ji.
For the next few hundred years, Yunng Dragon Sovereign retreated to the Yunng Swampland.
Due to Prince Ji Du’s overconfidence, he failed to kill Yunng Dragon Sovereign and lost the crucial River Ji Dragon Seal. The exposure of this incident would inevitably lead to opposition within the Dragon Palace, causing him to lose his position as the Crown Prince.
Prince Ji Du could only suppress this matter in secret, wielding the Seal to maintain his status as Crown Prince. In the anti, he repeatedly sent people to Yunng Swamp in search of the Seal’s whereabouts.
However, Yunng Dragon Sovereign’s strength was formidable and he had killed more than a dozen Water Gods of the Aquatic Tribe. Unless River Ji Dragon Palace launched a full-scale invasion, they were powerless against Yunng Dragon Sovereign.
After several centuries of deadlock, the River Ji Dragon Palace entered the grotto heavens sacred ground to avoid the period of Spirit Energy depletion.
During this ti, nurous crises occurred, all of which were delayed by Prince Ji Du through various ans.
Until 3,000 years before the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, the elder Dragon Sovereign of River Ji reached the end of his lifespan. As Crown Prince, Prince Ji Du should have inherited the throne using the Dragon Seal.
When it reached this point, even he could no longer keep it hidden. The news of the lost River Ji Dragon Seal shook the entire River Ji Dragon Palace, even awakening one of the sleeping elders within the blessed land.
In the end, Prince Ji Du was expelled from the Dragon Palace for losing the River Ji Dragon Seal. Not only did he lose the chance to beco the Dragon Sovereign, but he was also denied entry into the grotto heavens sacred ground of the Dragon Palace.
It was under these circumstances that the incident of Prince Ji Du entering the secret realm to escape disaster, ultimately dying there with only his fragnted Spirit Soul sealed into a Dragon Ball, ca about.
Upon laying his eyes on this River Ji Dragon Seal that had been lost for over ten thousand years, how could he not be moved?
Moreover, the appearance of this Dragon Seal stirred Prince Ji Du’s hatred and killing intent towards Yunng Dragon Monarch.
In that grandiose battle against the Aquatic Tribe, he seed victorious while Yunng Dragon Monarch appeared to be a loser.
But in reality, everyone, him included, had lost.
There were no winners in that battle!
The fierce emotional fluctuation of Prince Ji Du reflected in the outside world. The waves outside Yunng Village beca increasingly turbulent, and the muddy floodwater had gradually spread to the Dragon Sovereign Temple.
Shen Yuan didn’t mind at all. While holding the River Ji Dragon Seal, he laughed heartily:
“It seems that losing the River Ji Dragon Seal has had a significant impact on you, the Dragon Palace’s First Prince!
Not only did you fail to secure your control over the River Ji waterway authority, but you were also rejected from the blessed land of Dragon Palace.
This resulted in you having to hide in the Secret Realm and, eventually dying due to Spirit Energy depletion. All that is left of you is the fragnted Spirit Soul sealed into the Dragon Ball.”
“I was previously wondering why Yunng Dragon Monarch, before his demise, only requested to kill the Water God Wo Xuan of the Canglan, and not you, Prince Ji Du, who orchestrated the destruction of Yunng Dragon Palace.
Now it seems clear. From the mont he lost the River Ji Dragon Seal, Dragon Monarch had realised the inevitable tragic end for you.
You are nothing more than a loser who isn’t even worthy of being regarded as an enemy by Yunng Dragon Monarch!”
“You’re courting death!”
Prince Ji Du finally lost his composure and the large statue on the spirit pedestal moved at last.
Like shattering so sort of binding, at the mont the statue moved, the floodwater assaulting the invisible barrier outside Yunng Village abruptly lessened several tis.
Prince Ji Du was resolved to kill Shen Yuan, even at the cost of relinquishing his control over the surrounding water area for hundreds of miles.
In his eyes, killing Shen Yuan takes precedence over reclaiming Yunng Swampland.
The stone-carved giant hand rises, and all the abundant mana imbued with the power of incense is gathered in its palm.
At that mont, the Dragon Sovereign Temple shook, and the massive hand locked all escape routes, violently fell toward Shen Yuan’s location.
Shen Yuan had no fear. If Prince Ji Du was in his peak state, Shen Yuan would have fled without a second thought.
But now, he had only a fragnted Spirit Soul left, and even the Dragon Ball had been absorbed by Fubo Dragon Monarch. His cultivation at best could only be on par with the Qi Transformation Stage of Fubo Dragon Monarch.
Such power wasn’t strong enough to frighten off Shen Yuan.
His right hand was already resting on the handle of the Darkness-Light Sword. On the sword guard, the eyes of the Candle Dragon Inscription seem to flicker with elusive dim light.
“I have a sword which I would be honored if the First Prince could witness!”
The soaring Sword Qi seed to tear apart the stormy sky while the dark sword radiance abruptly descended amidst the gloomy world.
There were no flamboyant strokes or moves, as the origin of various sword techniques, the Earth Fiend Sword Art had always been a simple and unadorned strike.
Before this sword, the surging mana like waves was easily shattered. The montum of the sword did not diminish as it directly ripped through the giant stone palm.
The flying debris revealed the God Statue Golden Body made of incense beneath the stone, and cracks began to spread from the palm.
