The Immortal Dragon City’s radiance became stronger and warmer. Rolling golden light emanated from the sprawling city wall and enveloped the entire thing. The blurry layer of color that resembled a long river of time gradually receded as the golden light shone upon it.
The city wall resembled an enormous dragon coming alive and swayed in the boundless void space, while ear-splitting dragon roars came out from within.
Shi Zongmao wasn’t targeted by powerful dragons because of Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao. He observed the Immortal Dragon City while his expression grew increasingly complicated.
The Shen Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King became more pensive and serious when they heard the deafening dragon roar, and the fury in their eyes erupted.
A tremendous golden dragon shadow glimmered above the Immortal Dragon City. It was so colossal that it almost couldn’t get any bigger, and the shadow disappeared into the void as if it was some mysterious and enigmatic entity.
The giant figure meandered through the darkness and shimmered into vision from time to time, as if it were a dragon rambling through the clouds and nobody could pinpoint its location and movement.
A human figure gradually stood up above the Immortal Dragon City, amongst the vast patches of golden light.
This human figure wasn’t like Emperor Shi’s spirit all those years ago. Instead, it appeared like a yellow-cloaked girl in her twenties – she was enchanting and extraordinarily pretty with a tinge of elegance.
The girl sat cross-legged at the head of the Immortal Dragon City. Her eyes were closed shut, as if she was in some deep sleep.
The enormous golden dragon shadow above her head gradually vanished into void space. It revealed its complete and enormous frame and appeared as intimidating as ever before it descended towards the Immortal Dragon City.
The golden dragon shadow merged with the endless Immortal Dragon City, and the city wall began to tremble violently.
Golden radiance swallowed the city wall, and nothing else was left. The humongous dragon frame disappeared as well, and it seemed like there was only a single beam of golden light piercing through the dark void space, as if it were a flowing river, while it flickered with brilliance.
Uncountable human silhouettes bobbed up and down inside this golden river. They portrayed determination, unwaveringness, fury, fear, intimidation, and dignity.
The multitude of human silhouettes rose up from the flowing river and came back down, before they completely submerged themselves into the elongated river.
Dragon shadows could be seen inside the golden river at the same time. They rushed out of the river’s surface and circled around in the sky before they descended back inside.
The Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King shuddered. They could feel the faint ripples at the bottom of their demonic souls that sent a chill down their spines.
The human silhouettes and dragon shadows intertwined and undulated. The flowing golden river seemed to give infinite life while it annihilated them at the same time.
The golden river stretched across the starry sky in the darkness of void space. The dragon and human shadows resembled stars dotting the sky while they interacted with one another.
At the end, the river-like golden radiance gradually receded. The golden luster became thinner and plainer, and the colossal entity hidden beneath the golden light gradually revealed its true appearance.
It was an incredibly enormous dragon. Its golden scales flapped incessantly as if they were breathing, and large patches of golden clouds surged out.
This gigantic dragon was full of dominance and dignity, and it felt like the beginning of all life as it levitated in the sky. It filled up the vast space around it, and even gave onlookers a feeling as if its own body was the one enveloping the void space all around.
Its eyes were tightly shut. It felt as if there was no life at all, but the overbearing and dominating feeling was definitely real.
The dragon body traipsed through the sky while the golden auspicious clouds shifted along with it, and it gradually formed a mystical “Dao” character in midair.
The dragon’s eyes were closed, but it was still watching Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, the Earth Dragon King, and the Shen Dragon King, who were all still locked in battle.
The Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King stared at the golden dragon in the sky, and their expressions flowed with melancholy and indignance.
Their eyes were fixed upon the dragon’s head. There was a girl clad in yellow sitting cross-legged between the dragon horns.
Her eyes finally opened at this moment.
The dragon began radiating with a fuzzy light layer while she opened her eyes, as if it were flowing water, and as if it represented the passage of time.
The bleary light layer covered the colossal dragon’s frame. It caused the dragon body, which was completely enveloped by the light layer, to appear as mystical as ever once more.
The void was a complete mess of Chaos. It felt as if the entire world became black-and-white and time was frozen in place, yet it felt as if time was shifting continuously – stuck in that moment and yet stretching into eternity.
Only the girl’s figure remained clear. The colors on her body radiated, and she gave the gray and unfathomable world around her a dash of brilliance. It felt as if she gave the dragon life, and her demeanor was simply enchanting and riveting.
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the girl seemed like a soul or a spiritual body, and not actual flesh and body.
This girl was the Great Qin Empire’s princess, Shi Xingyun.
She was reborn from the Celestial Dragon Jin’s remnant soul all those years ago, but it was also because of this fact that her father, Shi Yu, used her for the draconic soul sacrificial rites and infused her into the Immortal Dragon City. She was subsequently lost into the void along with the Immortal Dragon City.
She was not yet in the Immortal Soul Stage back then, so Shi Yu had no choice but to use her in the sacrificial rites. This led to a circumstance that nobody expected to happen, and Shi Yu paid the price with his own life in the end.
Shi Xingyun opened her eyes. Her eyes were calm like water, much like the glowing river around her, and it felt as if she had seen everything there was to see in the world and through the ages.
She turned towards Shi Zongmao and smiled. “It’s been a long time, uncle. It’s nice to see you again.”
Shi Zongmao heaved a long sigh into the sky. “Everything is fate. I am not shameless enough to ask you to return to the Great Qin Empire, and I only hope that you… I hope that you…”
Shi Xingyun shook her head and replied, “What are you talking about, uncle? I am a human and not a dragon, so I cannot be with the dragons inside the Black Sea. They will probably eliminate me the first chance they get.”
The Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King grunted coldly when they heard her words, but said nothing.
Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao turned towards Shi Xingyun at this point, and they both said at the same time, “Congratulations, princess Xingyun.”
Shi Xingyun’s expression was still as calm as ever. She smiled and answered, “It’s been a long time, friends.”
She turned back towards the anxious Shi Zongmao and said, “Do not worry that I still harbor hatred and vengeance, uncle. I know that my father is dead, and I will not vent my anger on others. The only thing is that the high-level powerful cultivators were all part of this plan, so I no longer have the heart to return to Xiling City. I hope you understand and you can forgive me, uncle.”
Shi Zongmao sighed once more and said, “Everything we did was for the Great Qin Empire, and nobody had any ulterior motives. Now that you have been reborn, we will still welcome you with all our hearts should you choose to return to Xiling City.”
He paused momentarily and said, “You are of direct royal blood, and it’s possible for you to take over the throne.”
The human world of cultivation was ultimately different from the traditional world, and there had been female emperors before in the history of empires.
Shi Xingyun shook her head and said, “Don’t be daft, uncle. Since you’re here, then that means uncle Naming took over the throne. Father must have passed away during the War of the Two Worlds, and the Immortal Dragon City was lost during that time as well. The situation was urgent, and I can’t imagine my brother to take up that mantle during that time.”
“The new emperor must have been on the throne for a long time by now?”
Shi Zongmao was calm and said decisively, “The current emperor will gladly pass the throne over to you.”
Shi Xingyun glanced at Shi Zongmao and matched his gaze momentarily before she shook her head and said, “That is not my wish. Many thanks for the thoughts, uncle Gunyang.”
Shi Zongmao laughed bitterly and said, “Something as big as this is connected to the current emperor, and this is not me trying to test you…”
Shi Xingyun interrupted him and said, “Enough for now, uncle Gunyang. Let us handle our problems at hand.”
Her gaze turned towards the Earth Dragon King and the Shen Dragon King. “Even though I have regained part of Celestial Dragon Jin’s memories, I have been reborn as a human. The dragon soul and human soul exist hand in hand, but they have been completely separated after this episode.”
“The dragon soul has merged completely with the dragon body, and the only soul that remains is the human soul that you see – we do not belong on the same path.”
“You will kill me as soon as you get the chance to do so, and I am not interested in sitting back and letting the two of you do so. Forgive me.”
Shi Xingyun tapped lightly in the sky as she spoke. The fuzzy light layer permeated in void space, and the river of time surged towards the Shen Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King.
The enormous Celestial Dragon frame stretched through void space. It was covered by the radiant colors, but its draconic aura was still as clear as ever. It roared into the sky, and its claws slashed at both the Shen Dragon King and the Earth Dragon King at the same time.
These two mighty demon dragons howled with immense fury.
The Immortal Dragon City ceased to exist, and the Shi Xingyun was reborn as a dragon. Her mastery when she was still human was ultimately limited – even though the dragon body was strong, the soul wasn’t strong enough to control it properly. Still, her mantras and abilities couldn’t be overlooked or underestimated.
The two powerful demon dragons felt even more pressure heaping upon them now that Shi Xingyun had entered the fray when they were already at a disadvantage.
The two dragons felt rage and wrath erupt from the bottom of their hearts as Shi Xingyun joined the battle. The Earth Dragon King was in a dire situation at this point, but his aura became increasingly violent and he began to hammer Shi Xingyun without caring about getting injured in the process.
His current mentality was that he wasn’t afraid to exchange a wound for a wound, and perhaps even a life for a life – all he wanted to do was slay Shi Xingyun right here and now.
The Shen Dragon King was as irate as ever, but he still retained some clarity of thought. “She didn’t have to make a move. She knew that she would become our main target… She’s doing this on purpose! She wants to instigate us so that we will lose our cool and fight to the death. She wants to team up with the Celestial Sect of Wonders and keep us here for good!”
Once he figured out the crux of the situation, the Shen Dragon King’s anger quickly ebbed and he regained his composure. He was just staring at Shi Xingyun with ice-cold eyes at this point.
Even though he really wanted to destroy her once and for all, the Shen Dragon King managed to control his emotions. A strange pattern appeared on his forehead, before it eventually spread across his entire body and radiated with dazzling colors.
The enchanting radiance seemed endless as it sparkled with black hues. The seawater color was actually a pure golden sea that sparkled and rippled with waves – it was the Black Sea of the dragons!
