Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

The ground cracked, a chasm terrifying beyond measure, at least several meters wide, and as the chasm split open, a cluster of magma flames burst forth and flew out.

The magma flames exploded in midair, scattering in all directions, and directly igniting upon the bodies of people nearby, furiously engulfing them in flames.

"Ah! Save me, quick!" a foreigner who had just entered the Houtian stage yelled in terror. The fire on his body could not be extinguished by any means, and it burned wildly.

Swooosh, swooosh, the crowd began to riot, continuously dodging and weaving through the flames, as a dreadful rain of fire pummeled from the sky incessantly.

Ravines opened up across the land all at once, the earth was ruined beyond recognition, shaking violently; nearly everyone was unable to stand steadily, and gusts of fierce winds also howled forth at this very moment.

The fierce wind was like knives, hitting people and causing them to fly into midair, and then some were even blown into the chasms that had opened up in the ground.

"What? Run for it!" an Innate-stage powerhouse panicked, swiftly dodging with several companions while also releasing the spiritual power within his body to fend off the ferocious winds.

Ye Ling, however, looked composed as the powerful spiritual power of his Foundation Establishment Stage enveloped the few beside him, firm as a fortress. The knife-like wind pounded against their mountain-like presence, unable to shake their forms in the slightest.

"The earth shakes, the heavens change color, this is the beginning of the dragon vein's eruption!" Li Tianhao's eyes sparkled brilliantly, radiating tirelessly.

Ye Ling also felt a terrifying and pure spiritual power roaring and thundering beneath the ground. This must be the dragon vein striking underneath, the cause of such a dreadful scene.

In an instant, everyone was in chaos like locusts, countless figures desperately dodging amidst the raging magma flames, many getting burned by the terrifying fire.

Others were blown by the knife-like wind into the cracks, falling to places unknown, disappearing from this world forever.

Overall, in a short time, this dreadful natural disaster took the lives of more than thirty of the over five hundred people present, truly a heavy loss, considering all who came here were the cream of the crop.

For foreign forces, seizing Huaxia's national treasures was of utmost importance; the supernatural forces of Huaxia have always been the most mysterious and powerful in the world, which is why it's rare to see foreign superpowered beings within Huaxia.

And for the powerhouses of Huaxia itself, guarding the national treasures was also of the highest importance.

Thus both groups of powerhouses spared no effort to bring their strongest roster, and even from within the depths of the Divine Dragon Ridge, numerous powerhouses had emerged. Otherwise, how could there be so many Innate-stage strong beings?

Boom, boom, boom, suddenly, the earth trembled, and the ground that had split open slowly closed, and the magma flames vanished quietly as well.

All the powerhouses held their breath, their entire strength went into frantic action, not daring to relax in the slightest. They suddenly realized just how terrifying Huaxia's ancient relics were, truly catastrophic.

Many powerhouses were injured, with some now barely clinging to life, becoming nothing but a burden, their own organizations also compelled to abandon them.

Shenfeng then gave a secret signal, and several strong beings from the Bureau of Superpowers quietly moved to the back, looking at these so-called burdens.

Thud, thud, thud, suddenly, bell sounds emerged out of nowhere, tolling between heaven and earth, distant like they were from the ancient past, carrying with them vastness and gravity.

The moment the bell sounds began, Li Tianhao was even more excited, "The Reincarnation Bell! Nine tolls of the bell, and the True Dragon will reveal itself!"

Ye Ling and the others couldn't help but tense up; if what Li Tianhao said was true, when the bell stopped tolling, that would be the moment the dragon vein would reveal itself!

After nine tolls of the bell, suddenly, a giant dragon radiating devastating golden light soared in midair, its hundred-yard-long body obscuring the entire sky, its dragon scales shimmering, angrily stretching out its claws.

"A dragon! My god, Huaxia's Divine Dragon has appeared!"

"A miracle! A True Dragon has actually appeared; how is this possible!"

"Inconceivable, truly inconceivable!"

For a moment, all the powerhouses were dumbfounded; Huaxia's Divine Dragon had always been the most mysterious existence, a totem of the Huaxia race, a mysterious Divine Beast soaring over the East.

Suddenly, a foreign superpower user soared into the air, his expression intense, greed filling his eyes as he reached out toward the Divine Dragon hovering in mid-air.

Ye Ling snorted coldly, stomped his foot, and like a bolt of thunder, appeared beside the strong man despite starting later.

Whoosh, his leg lashed out fiercely, and all people heard was a dull thud, as the strong man slammed into the ground like a falling artillery shell.

Gurgle, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, the foreign strong man struggled a little, then plunged to the ground, falling into unconsciousness.

Ye Ling breathed evenly, a world-shaking aura slowly emanating from him; his Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation was fully deployed without holding back, the full power of the Nine Nether Emperor Technique also unveiled at this moment.

In times like these, the stronger one's combat power, the more intimidating to others they will be. Of course, the stronger one is, the more they become a target in the eyes of many.

But Ye Ling was unafraid, so fight, for who dares to obstruct an Immortal Emperor!

"My Huaxia's Divine Dragon, if any foreigner dares to reach out for it, death!" Ye Ling exclaimed coldly.

A torrential killing intent surged out like raging waves, roaring through the air, forming a soundwave that impacted all the experts below, causing many to turn pale with ringing ears.

"The treasure belongs to those destined for it; this Divine Dragon is not simply a divine object of Huaxia!" A member of the Dark Council, also a Foundation Establishment strong man and one of the heavyweights of the dark world, stood out.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ye Ling beckoned him with a finger: "Come here, to meet your death!"

The Dark Council's strong man hesitated for a moment, then was instantly enraged, his figure rising into the air as he turned into a mass of black mist surrounded by countless bats.

The bats flapped their wings, flames swirling around them, and their sharp teeth emitted a chilling gleam.

Everyone inhaled sharply; this Dark Council strong man had a great reputation, his power matchless, truly one of the world's strongest.

"Fall into hell, demon's punishment!"

All of a sudden, the Dark Council's strong man bellowed, waving one hand, and all the bats flying around him converged into a huge scythe.

Swish, the scythe swept through, carrying an astonishingly grim aura of death as it howled toward him.

Ye Ling coldly smirked, fiercely thrusting out a hand, gold light devastating everything, with golden brilliance flashing in his eyes, and his mouth emitting divine radiance.

"Demon Extinguish!"

A rumble; a gigantic fist phantom appeared in the air, charging toward that huge scythe.

The momentum was vast, like a sky-shaking peal of thunder.

Boom!

The sound was like clashing iron, making everyone's ears buzz and their heads swell.

In the next moment, everyone's eyes widened in shock, the color of disbelief filling their eyes.

Ye Ling held the Dark Council's strong man in one hand; the latter, like a tiny chick, was struggling but couldn't break free from Ye Ling's grasp.

And the Dark Council strong man's aura was also rapidly fading at the moment; he aged instantaneously, as if he had endured countless years.

Silence, a deathly silence!
