"Dragon Esteem?"
The Giant Clan Leader's horrified loss of color caused shock among the Saints. A dragon's roar trembled the nine heavens—had Tuoba Huangshan actually uttered the words "Dragon Esteem"?
"How, how is this possible? The Dragon Clan was annihilated for ages, and the Dragon Esteem fell with them. How could he still be alive?" a Saint exclaimed in shock.
"There's no mistake, it's definitely the Dragon Esteem. I recognize his aura!" The Giant Clan Leader declared solemnly. "He has revived!"
Tuoba Huangshan could hardly believe it either, but that kind of aura penetrated heaven and earth and far surpassed that of an ordinary Saint. Who else could be so powerful, if not the Dragon Esteem?
"What!"
Tuoba Huangshan spoke with such conviction that it further shocked the Saints, all revealing expressions of disbelief.
How could the Dragon Esteem, fallen for countless ages, have revived?
Could it be that Yu Jizi's appearance changed some things, bringing back an invincible powerhouse who had once swept through the nine heavens and ten lands?
Just thinking about it made the Saints feel a chill. They had invaded the void, plundered the Dragon Clan's ancestral lands.
And now, with the sudden revival of the Dragon Esteem and witnessing their lands being invaded and their ancestral treasures looted, it was hard to imagine what would happen next.
"Giant Clan Leader, you couldn't be mistaken, could you?" asked a Saint.
"There's absolutely no mistake!" said Tuoba Huangshan. "The Dragon Esteem just unleashed his power, holding off the combined attack of the Saints and even issued a warning to us with his will… how could I be mistaken? The Dragon Esteem truly has revived!"
Tuoba Huangshan was the Giant Clan Leader, an awe-inspiring and invincible Saint, an exalted being of the universe!
But a thousand ages ago, Tuoba Huangshan was merely the playmate of a Dragon Clan princess!
He was quite familiar with the Dragon Esteem and would never mistake him; Tuoba Huangshan was somewhat fearful.
The Giant Clan was a super clan, but compared to the Dragon Clan, their power was insignificant!
And the splendor of the Dragon Clan largely resided in one individual—none other than the Dragon Esteem!
Tuoba Huangshan had become a Saint, dominating the universe, but his reverence for the Dragon Esteem was deep and natural, hardly a match, and difficult to rival!
"Gentlemen, there's no need for panic. What Dragon Esteem revived? It's all an illusion!" declared a Saint. "Long Chan is in the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall. She can control the Soul of Ten Thousand Dragons. The aura that the Giant Clan Leader sensed must be her sorcery, a vain attempt to scare us away!"
The Dragon Esteem's fame was known to all, an unmatched ruler of Canglan Realm, and indeed the number one Saint!
However, the Dragon Clan had been annihilated for countless ages, and the Dragon Esteem had fallen just as long; how could such an ancient being come back to life?
"The Ten Thousand Temple has fallen silent; the Dragon Esteem has not appeared again. This matter might truly be Long Chan's trickery," suggested another Saint.
After erupting with power just once, that magnificent will vanished without a trace, causing the Saints to let down their guard, believing that Long Chan's earlier disturbance was a mere bluff to frighten them away.
"No! The might that was unleashed just now was too great; Long Chan couldn't possibly have conjured it up. It is definitely the Dragon Esteem who has revived!"
Tuoba Huangshan showed not a hint of relaxation, his expression grave as he stared at the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall, filled with an indescribable worry, dread, and fear.
"No more hesitation! It must be Long Chan's sorcery intended to scare us off. We must not be deceived! Let's storm in together!"
One Saint showed a murderous intent, looking toward the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall. They manifested a Golden Body Dharma Form and were the first to rush forward, aiming to conquer the hall.
"Go!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, several Saints conjured up Dharma-Phantom Golden Bodies, transforming into celestial War Gods, aiming to break through the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall.
"..."
Tuoba Huangshan did not act rashly, and most of the Saints also remained motionless, seemingly feeling an undercurrent of unease, sensing something amiss.
In the realm of void, there were thirty-two Saints, but only five acted rashly, attacking the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall, while the remaining twenty-eight remained silent.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The five massive Dharma Forms crushed the heavens and earth, arriving at the front of the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall. Their Divine Skills shook the world, all directed at the hall.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, the Saints' Dharma Forms were sent flying backward, and the earth stood still at that moment.
A godly and martial figure appeared in front of the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall, his demeanor noble like jade, grand and invincible, repelling the five Saints with a single punch!
"Dragon Esteem!"
Upon seeing the martial figure, Tuoba Huangshan's shock could no longer be contained within his heart. His massive frame stumbled backward as if in fear of this person.
"This!"
The sudden apparition of the martial figure not only startled the Giant Clan Leader but also terrified the Saints gathered there.
Five Saints united were invincible, capable of wreaking havoc on heaven and earth and overturning a superpower, yet now they were repelled by a single punch from this man... What magnitude of combat power was this?
"Is this person the Dragon Esteem?"
The Saints stared at the martial figure, their faces filled with shock.
The combined force of the five Saints could shake the heavens and overturn a superpower, but now they were blown away by a single punch. Apart from the illustrious Dragon Esteem who had shaken the ages, who else could possess such combat strength?
"I had already issued a warning earlier, but you all ignored it. Are you disregarding me?" The martial figure looked toward the five Saints he had repelled, giving off a subtle oppressive feeling.
"We..." The hearts of the five Saints panicked, suddenly gripped by fear, unable to meet the man's gaze.
"It's been a while since I've tasted Saint blood. Dare to offend me again, and I'll slaughter you all!" The martial figure stood fiercely, as though slaying a Saint was as simple as killing a dog or butchering a chicken.
"..."
The five Saints wanted to anger, but thinking of Dragon Esteem's might, they all wilted in an instant. They couldn't defeat Dragon Esteem, and to foolishly rush forward would be simply seeking abuse…
"Dragon Esteem, you've really revived!" Tuoba Huangshan looked at the divine male figure, his face filled with shock that lingered for a long time.
"Are you the little giant from back then?" Dragon Esteem looked toward the giant, slightly furrowing his brows, as if recalling something.
"Dragon Esteem, I am Tuoba Liuyun, Long Chan's former playmate!" Tuoba Liuyun said respectfully.
"It really is you!" Dragon Esteem said somewhat surprised. "Eons have passed, and you've actually attained sainthood, nearly catching up to me!"
As Long Chan's playmate, Dragon Esteem naturally remembered Tuoba Liuyun. However, he didn't expect that after thousands of years, Tuoba Liuyun had actually attained sainthood and was looking down upon the world, which made Dragon Esteem feel somewhat sentimental.
"Dragon Esteem, please don't humble your junior like this!" Tuoba Huangshan said modestly, keeping his posture very low.
Tuoba Huangshan had the fortune to witness Dragon Esteem in action and knew the strength of this ruler of the Dragon Clan was greater than his, greater than anyone present!
"..."
The sudden appearance of Dragon Esteem and his defeating of the five Saints with a single punch had already shocked all the Saints.
The usually dominant Giant Clan Leader, in the presence of Dragon Esteem, seemed like a child… The Saints were somewhat disordered, Tuoba Huangshan, you're a Saint after all, can't you stand straight and talk!
Dragon Esteem had taken the form of a divine male figure, while Tuoba Huangshan was a giant towering ten thousand feet, showing deference to Dragon Esteem with a smile and a bowed back… The scene was just too comical.
However, even if this scene was bizarre in the extreme, no one dared to speak out and disturb the peace, as the presence of Dragon Esteem was extremely ancient. All the Saints present were his juniors; who dared to offend him rashly?
Tuoba Huangshan was the only one who had contact with Dragon Esteem, his such lowering of stature must be because he knew the terrifying invincibility of Dragon Esteem… The authority of Dragon Esteem must not be offended!
"Great Dragon Esteem, our clan's Tianjiao are in the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall, could you drive them out?" At this moment, a sharp-edged male came forward, respectfully saluted Dragon Esteem, and made his request.
"Are you a Saint from the Golden-Winged Peng Clan?" Dragon Esteem asked, looking at the man.
"Your junior Jin Chixiao, the current Clan Leader of the Golden-Winged Peng Clan!"
Jin Chixiao was an invincible Saint from the Golden-Winged Peng Clan, his strength not inferior to Tuoba Louyun.
"Jin Wushen is related to you, is he still alive?"
Dragon Esteem's mention of a name made all the Saints turn to look. Jin Wushen was an ancient being, a supreme Saint from the Golden-Winged Peng Clan, with strength far above theirs. Rumors had it that he had long since passed away.
"Jin Wushen is my granduncle, and he is still in this world!" Jin Chixiao said.
Jin Chixiao's words caused the Saints to show signs of surprise; Jin Wushen's strength was immense, almost on par with Dragon Esteem. People thought he had passed away, and yet, he was still alive!
"Hmm." Dragon Esteem nodded. "Jin Wushen and I have a grudge. You are his junior, and it isn't right for me to bully you… Go back to your clan and tell Jin Wushen that I will come to seek vengeance soon!"
"..."
Dragon Esteem's domineering manner made Jin Chixiao's face stiffen and left all the Saints dumbfounded.
Tuoba Huangshan covered his mouth, nearly bursting into laughter, how amusing Dragon Esteem was!
Jin Wushen was a supreme Saint from the Golden-Winged Peng Clan, merely mentioning his name made the Saints feel oppressed, for he truly was that powerful.
However, Dragon Esteem was clearly more dominant. Jin Chixiao had just spoken of his granduncle's well-being, and Dragon Esteem said they had a grudge, that he would go look for Jin Wushen for revenge in the future…
The silent Saints glanced at Jin Chixiao, wondering if Jin Wushen might spank him on his return to the Golden-Winged Peng Clan.
"There were eighty-one young supreme beings in the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall, thirty-seven have died, thirty of them killed by my daughter, the other seven by others!" Dragon Esteem looked at the Saints, suddenly saying.
"What, so many have died!" The color drained from the Saints' faces.
Each young supreme being was a seedling of the Dao, with the potential to become a Saint. Eighty-one young supreme beings, almost half fell, causing the Saints to shudder with horror.
"Dragon Esteem, your daughter's killing intent is too strong, slaughtering thirty…" A Saint began to speak, hesitantly, as if he wanted to accuse her of a greater crime.
"You invaded the Void Land, forcefully breaking into our Clan's sacred territory. Even if Chan'er killed them all, it would be justifiable!" Dragon Esteem said, looking at the Saint.
"..."
Strong beings are always strong, just like Dragon Esteem, his daughter killing people, and he still found justification for it.
However, the fact remained that had they not invaded, Long Chan would not have brought about such a slaughter.
"Dragon Esteem, the fault lies with us, could you let the survivors out?" another Saint asked.
"No!" Dragon Esteem said.
"..."
There were thirty-two Saints on the scene, fatty and skinny, male and female, tall and short, each one extremely powerful, sitting high upon their Saintly thrones, dominating the universe!
Yet, with Dragon Esteem alone, he looked down upon all present… leaving the Saints speechless.
Dragon Esteem was too strong, and even though they were many in number, the Saints still felt inadequate in his presence.
Although they were of the same realm, there are hierarchies within the realm of Saints, and Dragon Esteem was at the peak within the Saint Realm, able to sweep away a group of Saints all by himself!
The Saints present were numerous, and if they revolted in a group, they might not be able to suppress Dragon Esteem. But now that Dragon Esteem had revived, what about the other members of the Dragon Clan?
The Saints were filled with anxiety, daring not to make any rash moves, fearing that they might trigger a major calamity.
