Chapter 578: Chapter 318: Tier Seven True Dragon (Part 2)

Upon hearing Li Mu’s reply, the divinity transformation cultivators of the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region all glared angrily, feeling resentful. They couldn’t understand why Li Mu would treat this matter so lightly; did he not comprehend the seriousness of it?

If the Sea Race truly launched an attack on the Ten Thousand Stars Islands, could he truly bear that responsibility?

The entire scene suddenly became tense and awkward. Li Mu stood high in the sky, his gaze firm and calm, completely unaffected by the surrounding atmosphere.

Time seemed to freeze, as the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.

Thunder tribulation roared overhead, its sound persistent. One thunderbolt after another struck upon the hundred-foot flood dragon in the sky, emanating a deadly and frenzied aura.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a bright and resonant dragon’s roar pierced through the sky, filled with endless joy and excitement, instantly breaking the silence and dullness of the scene.

This magnificent and high-pitched dragon’s roar echoed above the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, allowing all living beings present to feel the intense emotions it conveyed. It foretold the successful crossing of the Tier Seven True Spirit Thunder Tribulation by Li Mu’s companion—the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon—now transformed into a genuine Tier Seven True Dragon.

Everyone looked up at the dragon under the thunder tribulation!

No!

It should be a Tier Seven True Dragon!

The black clouds of thunder tribulation dispersed, leaving behind a large shower of tribulation thunder dew; drops of green light merged into the body of the Two-Horned Cyan Dragon, repairing its charred body from the tribulation thunder’s strikes.

The charred scales gradually peeled off, revealing crystalline cyan scales resembling jade, shining with a brilliant light. A pair of sharp fleshy horns stood tall on either side of its head, its strong limbs resting on clouds, with several long whiskers swaying in the wind.

Having been baptized by thunder tribulation, the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon experienced a complete bloodline transformation after undergoing the tribulation’s refinement, ascending to become a Tier Seven Cyan Dragon. Its keen vertical pupils exuded confidence and pride, its entire body radiated a dragon’s might that inspired awe and voluntary submission.

"Master!"

The Cyan Moon True Dragon flew to Li Mu’s side, retaining its respectful and loyal demeanor.

Looking at Li Mu, the Cyan Moon True Dragon’s vertical pupils were filled with gratitude. If it hadn’t been for Li Mu stopping its tribulation crossing earlier and spending a large amount of resources to train the Spirit Devouring Health Technique to perfection, allowing it to cross the tribulation, it would likely have perished under the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation.

This successful safe passage through the True Dragon Thunder Tribulation was entirely thanks to Li Mu, and the Cyan Moon True Dragon was deeply thankful, addressing him as master with genuine sincerity and submission.

"We need not be formal with each other! Your status needn’t be as before. From now on, we may call each other as fellow Daoists!" Li Mu smiled and gestured with his hand, indicating.

"No! Without the master’s guidance, I’d have likely died under the thunder tribulation, even if I have ascended to a True Dragon, you are still my master." The Cyan Moon True Dragon looked at Li Mu, sincerely stating.

Witnessing this scene, the cultivators present all couldn’t help but envy; to have conquered a Tier Seven True Dragon was undoubtedly extremely worthy of showboating.

The True Dragon Race, as one of the most noble races under heaven and earth, has always held a high opinion of itself, disdainful of associating with ordinary creatures. They possess formidable strength and supreme dignity, with noble bloodlines and immense power making other races hard to match.

Therefore, gaining the genuine submission of the True Dragon Race is extremely difficult, only those with strong power, those who have reached the achievements of Daoist Monarchs, Daoist Venerables, Great Emperors, Great Power Cultivators can possibly succeed.

As one of the highest-level divine beasts, if conquered, the True Dragon Race not only brings massive aid to its master but also symbolizes status and prestige.

Contrary to the cultivators’ envy, the White Whale Demon Emperor looked with eyes full of crimson rage, unable to restrain its fury.

"Having a disgrace like you among the True Dragon Race is simply the shame of the Dragon Race!"

The White Whale Demon Emperor spat at the Cyan Moon True Dragon with contempt, as if seeing something disgusting, filled with anger and hatred desperate to fly up and tear the Cyan Moon True Dragon apart.

"The White Whale Demon Emperor claims you took the treasured item guarded by the White Whale Race for a long time. I just had a battle with it and couldn’t resolve it, this matter now falls to you!" Li Mu glanced at the White Whale Demon Emperor, calmly saying.

"Alright!"

The Cyan Moon True Dragon gently nodded its dragon head, its vertical pupils fixed on the White Whale Demon Emperor and asked in a deep voice, "White Whale Demon Emperor, you keep claiming I took the treasured item guarded by your White Whale Race, do you have evidence? All matters must be proven, don’t speak nonsense."

The White Whale Demon Emperor, filled with rage but unable to find evidence for a moment, became restless.

Although the White Whale Demon Emperor firmly accused the Cyan Moon True Dragon of taking the treasure, it had no concrete evidence. Its certainty was due to all the White Whale guards tasked with protecting the treasure having been slaughtered without a trace.

"You have slaughtered thousands of my kin in this sea region, even the guard whales met your cruel hands; if it’s not you who took the treasure, then who?" the White Whale Demon Emperor harshly questioned.

Upon hearing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in the Cyan Moon True Dragon’s eyes, it snorted coldly, "Hmph! Thousands of kin? I was merely hunting. The creatures in this sea realm are just my prey; how can you claim I took the treasure you guard?"

"You’re arguing recklessly! Besides you, who else can be so wanton in slaughtering creatures in this sea region?" the White Whale Demon Emperor roared in agitation.

"This is truly laughable! This sea realm is vast and boundless, with countless powerful creatures. Just because more than a few White Whales were killed, you’re blaming me?" the Cyan Moon True Dragon disdainfully said.

After a brief pause, the Cyan Moon True Dragon looked at the White Whale Demon Emperor, contemptuously adding, "Moreover, I only care about hunting; those lowly creatures are nothing but food. Why should I care?"

Having heard such insulting words regarding the whales from the Cyan Moon True Dragon, the White Whale Demon Emperor was furious to trembling, but for the moment couldn’t find a stronger counterargument.

In the eyes of the True Dragon Race, other races are but lowly ants, not deserving of respect. This sentiment fits the nature of the True Dragon Race perfectly.

"You...!" The White Whale Demon Emperor was filled with rage, wanting to argue.

A hint of killing intent flashed in the Cyan Moon True Dragon’s eyes, and it commanded sternly, "Get lost immediately, or dare to speak nonsense again, I’ll tear you apart now!"

As soon as the words fell, the Cyan Moon True Dragon unleashed a powerful dragon might, radiating the formidable aura of an upper-rank demon emperor; its entire body shone with cyan light, its eyes seemingly aflame.

This pressure caused the cultivators present to feel a moment of chest-tightening anxiety, their breath suddenly halted, feeling extremely uncomfortable, as it was an oppression from the bloodline of a superior being.

The White Whale Demon Emperor felt this most strongly, perceiving the intense killing intent and pressure from the Cyan Moon True Dragon. It was profoundly terrified, knowing that continuing to stay might truly endanger its life.

With no choice, the White Whale Demon Emperor could only turn and leave, departing this sea region resentfully, even hesitating to throw down any boastful remarks. The battle ability of the True Dragon Race far surpasses other demon races, especially in water combat, where no sea race can match.

After the White Whale Demon Emperor left, the Cyan Moon True Dragon’s killing intent gradually subsided. It lowered its head, looking at Li Mu, and smiled, "Master, the problem is solved!"

"Good!" Li Mu smiled, nodding, understanding the meaning behind the Cyan Moon True Dragon’s words; the treasure guarded by the White Whale Race indeed ended up in its possession.

"Fellow Daoists, if there is nothing else, I have other matters to attend to, I must take my leave, farewell fellow Daoists!"

Li Mu looked at Chen Xuanzi and the divinity transformation cultivators of the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, making his respectful farewells.

Once the words fell, Li Mu flew away with Qing Yue, returning to the Earth Element Spirit Ship.

"Alright! Farewell, Friend Li!"

"Farewell, Master Li!"

...

Chen Xuanzi and his group of divinity transformation cultivators quickly responded in unison, watching as the Earth Element Spirit Ship turned into a streak of flowing light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

"It can be said his future is promising!"

Watching the fleeting figure of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Chen Xuanzi mused with a complex expression.

"Indeed! Such a talented person, when he promotes to higher levels, who knows what kind of majestic demeanor he’ll possess!" Situ Lan imagined for a moment but lacked the imagination.

Ye Qiuming furrowed his brows, feeling that this Sword Immortal Li seemed familiar, yet unable to recall where they had met.
