Chapter 289: True Dragon
When Tianyi entered the Immortal Realm, if it could even be called that, he had recalled his third clone, Donghai Longzi. To Tianyi, Donghai Longzi’s current level of strength was completely useless, and the battle experience accumulated no longer had much effect on Tianyi.
So Tianyi planned on turning him into an immortal level expert too, but unlike Ba Shifang, Tianyi didn’t plan on turning him into an immortal but a true demon. Since he couldn’t get a dragon mount and Dandan was too much of a disappointment, why not turn his clone into a true dragon?
Not that Tianyi planned to use Donghai Longzi as a mount. Using your own clone as a mount was too weird. Still, his resolve had only increased when he heard of the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s future plans and secret information from Sect Master Xia. The one in his timeline and not the Silent Lightning Timeline.
‘Perhaps I should change it to Undying Lightning Timeline since he seems to have the tenacity of a damn cockroach!’
Still, it looked like his plans could move ahead of schedule thanks to Xi Longyi. He couldn’t infiltrate the Divine Beast Pseudo System, well, not without leaving Donghai Longzi stuck in this timeline at least.
The golden saber resting on Donghai Longzi’s lap started to tremble as if shivering in fear, but it was for naught as its golden light began to flicker. Slowly, its light lost its luster as ten golden drops of blood floated away from the blade.
The immortal rank saber artifact’s golden light had vanished completely. It still held the rank of an immortal rank artifact, but its rank had dropped from a top-tier immortal monarch rank to a low-tier true immortal rank.
The saber still had the potential to evolve and even reach the immortal emperor rank, but Tianyi had no interest, so he stored it for now.
Next, Tianyi directed his attention to the sea of stars. His body wasn’t present personally, but his intent filled the Nine Heavens Universe. There, Dandan was cozily swimming through the stars, but he suddenly stopped as if sensing danger.
‘This is for all the times you beat me up and drained my blood.’
Dandan’s body froze as if shackled by an invisible prison. It cried out in defiance, but that was all it could do. A slit appeared on its scaled hide as blood leaked from that wound. Finally, when it seemed as if Dandan had shrunk by thirty percent, Tianyi stopped.
He whimpered pitifully as if in grievance, but Tianyi was unmoved. The clouds of immortal qi of primordial chaos gathered around him like little puppies for him to absorb. Dandan flailed a few more times before recognizing the fact that he could not get back the blood drained from him and settled down to absorb the immortal qi. Albeit in a downtrodden mood.
Dandan’s blood flew to Eight Heaven and merged with the gold blood drops hovering above Donghai Longzi, staining them black with a gold sheen.
Donghai Longzi closed his eyes as the blood encased him in a sphere three meters in diameter. Soon, numerous other materials such as bone, scales, herbs, and essence flowed into the black sphere with a golden hue. As time passed, the sphere started to condense until it was in an egg shape.
Unlike Daoyi’s divine avatar, the gestation period didn’t take long as the egg quickly grew scales and, under the time acceleration, started to hatch soon after.
Crack
Crack
Crack
Hot-white eyes that resembled white dwarfs peered out of the crack. Soon, it disappeared as the crack enlarged, and a small serpentine body flew out. The newborn creature had a reptilian visage, two long whiskers, a pair of antlers, four limbs, and black scales that glittered like the sea of stars.
Compared to the size of the egg it came out of, the newborn dragon was pitifully small, not even reaching the length of half a meter. It looked so weak, so defenseless, that it would surely fall from the heavenly tribulation gathering above it.
However, everything in the Nine Heavens Universe was under Tianyi’s influence. That meant the heavenly tribulation heralding the birth of a true demon would not kill or harm Donghai Longzi unless it were his intent.
As the first bolt of tribulation lightning descended, Donghai Longzi didn’t dodge and allowed the bolt to strike him. The lightning arced and shrouded his entire body, but aside from the numbing sensation, no pain could be seen on the black dragon’s face.
“Pfff, hell no,” Tianyi immediately said. “That’s suicide. Okay, well not really for me. I’m going against a man who defeated the Cultivator Alliance by his lonesome. Sect Master Xia also thinks that he’s not really an immortal emperor but stronger. He’s the biggest enemy of the sect, not the Eight Pillar Sect.”
“I just want to search for some clues. Although it’s not exactly the same, timelines are mirrors of each other, so I should be able to search for some clues,” Tianyi said. “If I can’t find any, I’ll probably try Earth Continent in preparation for the future war. After that, I’ll start badgering Sect Master Xia for a method.”
“Unless you do something outlandish again,” Daoyi added.
“Hey, this wasn’t my fault. How the hell would I know that that damn Emperor Soulfish would have something that could send me to another timeline. Or, that he would use it? I couldn’t even threaten his life, that bastard really overreacted,” Tianyi complained.
“What about Lei Jingye? I’m surprised you didn’t chase after him,” Daoyi said.
“A bit too late now,” Tianyi said
“Then why are you grinning like that? Honestly, it’s very creepy.”
Tianyi’s smile left his face. “That’s a bit too much, don’t you think? But to answer your question, I simply gave him some trouble, say, like spreading the word that he has a divine artifact. Hmpf, I want to see how much the Five Element Sect will be able to protect him, especially after I severed a portion of Monarch Fiveseal’s comprehension.”
“You’re terrible.”
“Thank you.”
Tianyi and Daoyi reached Mortal Continent after some time. They began to visit all the thirteen major cities of the Cultivator Alliance, named after the zodiac. Of note was the fact that the capital and central city of the Cultivator was Ouroborous City.
“Why Ouroborous City? If there is a thirteenth zodiac, shouldn’t it have been a cat? Ouroborous isn’t even Chinese!” Tianyi had complained.
Still, after two years and touring seven cities, they still haven’t discovered anything out of the ordinary. “Isn’t this just a vacation at this rate?” Daoyi had said, to which Tianyi had no response.
Although Tianyi enjoyed it, he was beginning to feel a sense of anxiety. He constantly thought about what was happening during the main timeline. Thanks to his connection with Ba Shifang, he could still get bits of information, but those updates were few and far between.
At the very least, the vacation wasn’t meaningless. He was comprehending the Law of Death, Law of Destruction, and five element concepts from Monarch Fiveseal.
However, on their way to the eighth city, Tianyi’s senses captured a familiar figure, causing him to abandon his plans. He immediately hid the immortal boat behind folded space and followed behind.
Qiu, otherwise known as Monarch Soulfish, cursed as he quickly fled. Behind him, two immortal monarchs of the Cultivator Alliance chased after him.
“Stop, you damn thief!”
“It was our mistake not to wipe all the descendants of Begonia tower. We’ll rectify that today!”
Monarch Soulfish gritted his teeth as he cast a glance back. Monarch Flamedog was originally an ordinary immortal that did not stand out. Well, except for one thing, and that he was deathly loyal to the Cultivator Alliance. Many dark and dirty deeds carried out by the hegemonic force were done with his hand.
The second was Monarch Yearox. Just from his name alone, one could discover his aspirations to master the Law of Time, but unfortunately, he couldn’t and used another worldly law to enter the Seamless Immortal Realm, becoming an eternal regret for the immortal.
Both of them were monarchs with far more experience than him, but Monarch Soulfish didn’t give up. He unleashed a technique that caused a torrent of red fishes to swarm them, almost like a tidal wave.
Monarch Flamedog and Yearox easily destroyed them, but the duo paused when they realized that they would enter an illusion whenever they destroyed, slowing down their process. Using this slight lapse, Monarch Soulfish increased his fleeing speed, unaware of a greater predator eyeing him.
