Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 353: Are All Humans So Arrogant?

The next moment— 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

BANG!

Even with its swift reaction and full-force resistance, the creature's body still exploded.

The sheer dominance of this Dharma made all the creatures tremble. Instantly, they abandoned any thought of studying it alone in the future, no longer daring to be so careless.

"Nine Qis reflect the heavens, a divine child is born of purple smoke. Eight Celestial Dragons dance with the Embryo Immortal, the Yellow Court stands firm, daring to tread the sky..."

As the old lion chanted the spell, the area for dozens of miles around erupted into turmoil! The pure energy contained within the Ferocious Gang Wind of the Chaos Boundary Sea was extracted to its absolute limit. One could even see streams of milky liquid being pulled toward them.

The energy was liquefying!

The formless energy was extracted, instantly gathering above the creatures' heads to form a shimmering pool.

Two of the Great Saint's disciples appeared not far away, their faces etched with shock. This was the Chaos Boundary Sea! How could energy be extracted with such force? And what were these creatures trying to do?

Just then, the two disciples noticed that all the other creatures were looking past them. They didn't need to turn around to know why.

"Is this all for me? That doesn't seem right, does it?" Ning Xuan asked, though he didn't slow his steps in the slightest. He walked straight into the center of the gathered creatures as if it were his right.

Activating his Cultivation Technique, he began to leisurely devour the energy.

Soon, however, the creatures grew dissatisfied. His speed was simply too slow!

The old lion couldn't help but speak up. "Kid, can you speed it up a bit? Otherwise, it'll all go to waste!"

"Exactly! What are you doing? Put some effort into it!"

All the creatures were thoroughly frustrated with him. Ning Xuan had no choice but to be "forced to take a risk."

When they sensed the flow of energy into Ning Xuan's body surge past its previous levels, the creatures all smiled.

"At this speed, the kid will surely become a Venerable soon!"

"It's all thanks to Old Lion for providing the Dharma. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this sense of accomplishment at all!"

Smiles graced the faces of all the creatures, and soon those smiles turned into beaming joy. They had noticed Ning Xuan's Cultivation advance to the Ninth Layer Heavens of the Emperor Realm!

Instantly, all the creatures were filled with vigor. At this rate, their wishes would be fulfilled before long. They pushed the Dharma with even more enthusiasm.

Above Ning Xuan's head, the pure energy formed a milky-white lake, and its area was still expanding.

I've advanced a full Realm, so it's only reasonable that my absorption speed would increase, right? Ning Xuan muttered to himself as he accelerated the circulation of his Cultivation Technique.

Yet, the creatures were still unsatisfied. Advancement became slower the higher one's Cultivation Realm. At Ning Xuan's current speed, they would have to wait forever!

They exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus. Amidst the roar, the creatures backed away. In the center, the energy lake that had been hovering above Ning Xuan's head began to descend.

Soon, Ning Xuan's body was completely enveloped by the energy lake.

I was outside the lake before, but now I'm inside it. It's only reasonable for my absorption speed to increase again, right? Thinking this, Ning Xuan accelerated the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture once more.

At that moment, the creature directly in front of him opened its mouth in a demonstration.

"You want me to drink it?" Ning Xuan asked, uncertain.

The other being nodded hastily.

Ning Xuan was so moved he was on the verge of tears. He immediately opened his mouth, and with tears in his eyes, he began to devour the energy in great gulps. At the same time, he muttered to himself, I'm even using my mouth now. It's definitely reasonable for the absorption speed to be even faster!

He pushed his Cultivation Technique a step further.

Finally, the time Ning Xuan took to advance to the Tenth Heavens of the Emperor Realm was even shorter than the time it had taken him to reach the Ninth Layer Heavens. He was just two Realms away from becoming a Venerable!

Such a rate of advancement was unprecedented and would likely remain unrivaled forever. One had to remember, he was merely in the King Realm before he arrived here!

However, amidst his joy, Ning Xuan was more vigilant than ever. The Great Saint in the deepest reaches was the most terrifying one. He absolutely could not let him see any hint of the truth. As for the creatures currently "helping" him, Ning Xuan really didn't take them seriously anymore. He knew exactly what they were plotting. To be honest, their line of thinking was something no ordinary person could possess. Even though these beings weren't human, they were all Venerables. How could they still be so naive?

"What are you doing? Hurry up!"

The moment Ning Xuan's mind wandered, his pace naturally slowed, and one of the creatures immediately grew displeased. He was only two Realms away! How could he be slacking off now? This wouldn't do!

"Um, that Dharma you were all talking about earlier... I couldn't quite hear it from inside the lake. Could you let me in on it, too?" Ning Xuan asked suddenly, maintaining his devouring speed.

The other creatures naturally turned to look at the old lion.

Ning Xuan followed their gazes and explained, "I was just thinking, if I could also become one of you, wouldn't my speed increase even more?"

As soon as he said this, the other creatures all chimed in. "That's a great idea!"

"Old Lion, hurry up and tell him!"

"Yes, yes! He needs to reach the Venerable Realm as soon as possible!"

With everyone else urging him on, what could the old lion do? He immediately explained the Dharma to Ning Xuan in detail. Our own physiques are powerful, closer to the True Dragon Clan's than any human's, yet even we couldn't withstand that Majestic Pressure. A tiny human certainly wouldn't be able to!

Having rationalized it, the old lion went a step further, using a voice transmission to unreservedly share the insights he had gained from three thousand years of secluded cultivation.

"I'd give you a 'good person card,' but you're not a person. I really don't know how to thank you," Ning Xuan sent back via voice transmission, his tone full of gratitude. In truth, the Dharma the old lion had spent three thousand years pondering was nothing compared to his Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture.

"If you really want to thank me, then after you become a Venerable, you can face me last," the old lion replied.

The moment he heard that, Ning Xuan knew what the lion was scheming. He put on a troubled expression. "I'm afraid that won't work. After all, you are all the strongest echelon in the Tianyang Realm, and you are the strongest of the strong. If I become a Venerable and don't make an example of you... cough cough, if I don't suppress you to establish my authority..."

Before Ning Xuan could finish, the old lion interrupted, "Don't worry about that. I will tell you the weaknesses of each of them..."

"Really?" Ning Xuan cut in, feigning ecstatic surprise before the lion could finish.

"Of course!" the old lion assured him confidently through the voice transmission, though a flicker of disdain flashed deep in his eyes.

Pah! Are all humans this arrogant? Make an example of me? Use me to establish his authority?! Good thing I started this private conversation. Otherwise, if he really had challenged me first, all my efforts would have been for nothing! Hehehe, this is perfect. I'll tell him the others' weaknesses and let him steamroll everyone! Then, I'll step in at the end to reap the rewards. The Great Saint will surely see me in a new light!

While transmitting the strengths and weaknesses of the other creatures' Cultivation Techniques to Ning Xuan, the old lion perfected his own plan. After all, the Great Saint was likely watching everything in secret; if his act was too fake, it would be seen through in an instant.
