916 14.192 Last Violet Star The Fall of the Imperial Palace.
Upper Realm, Dragon Nest...
The Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Empress suddenly summoned the prophet of their race. An old man with a long beard and white eyes appeared before the two rulers of the dragons. The Prophet was also a seer of their clan. A special existence that can see through things that dont need eyes to see.
The Prophet came to see the ruler and his empress! said the blind old man escorted by his disciples.
The golden dragon emperor spoke, Prophet, the names in the ancestral hall had moved. You said before that you cant see through the existence of our missing egg because of its thin lineage. How about now that his name and his other halfs name appeared? Can you see through his existence now?
Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor. Please give me the names that suddenly appeared in the Ancestral Genealogy Hall. I will try once again to find his highness the Dragon Prince. The Dragon Prophet said.
The caretaker of the Ancestral Hall answered instead of Dragon Emperor.
The names are Heilan and Hou Longqing.
Heilan. Hou Longqing mumbled the Prophet.f??e???el. co?
The blind old dragon started murmuring the names as he prayed to the stars above. With his white irises, he looks above the sky trying to see through the stars and find the existence of the two names. The seer emitted a weird aura of stars and nature.
.....
It took a while for the old dragon to find what he wanted but thanks to the two names he found them not throughout the Upper Realm but in the Mortal Realm and saw their current situation of being besieged by the demon race.
He also found out that not only his highness the Dragon Prince had just recently awakened his bloodline it was done by an immortal. A t.i.tled G.o.d whose existence he wasnt allowed to peek through his existence.
Then there is the chosen partner of his highness. The star of this man is also quite special. He is the current Human Emperor that oversees the existence of the human race. But at the moment, both the futures of his highness and the human emperor are quite dangerous. They are currently in peril if no one saves them.
The Dragon Prophet had spoken, I was able to see his highness the Dragon Prince this time. He had grown up to become a special elemental dragon of poison and darkness. He is a majestic black dragon with the pure bloodline of dragons.
His highness had a special opportunity. He was helped by an immortal who purified his bloodline and enabled him to awaken his inherited memory as he became a dragon. As for who this immortal was... this seer was unable to see through his existence. It was the heavenly laws that forbade me to look more about this existence.
The dragon prince calls his name Heilan. His chosen Dao Companion is a human. But this human is not an ordinary being himself. He is the current Human Emperor of this era.
The Dragon race was startled by the findings of the Prophet. Ever since the name of the Dragon Prince and his other half had appeared in the Genealogy Hall of the Dragon Race.
The White Dragon Empress was surprised, My sons partner is the current human emperor? But isnt the Mortal World being invaded by the Demon Race?! Oh no! I need to grab my son and daughter-in-law in the Mortal Realm!
Wife, calm down, please. I will go with you later. I am more interested in the immortal who is capable of awakening our races Ancestral Bloodline. The Golden Dragon Emperor said.
The Prophet of the Dragon race warned, Your Majesty, that exalted beings existence was something protected by this worlds Heavenly Laws. Even the Immortal Emperor has not received such special attention. If we want to know, we can just ask His Highness when he returns.
Sigh~ That is also true. Prophet, thank you for answering this Lords Summons. The Emperor of the Dragon Race said.
The Prophet says, I suggested that his Majesty and her highness descend as soon as possible. I saw disaster falling on His highness. Please save them as soon as possible.
The Dragon Emperor nodded his head and looked at his people. He ordered a few men to come with him and his empress. To descend with them into the Mortal Realm and save his son.
A few of you... Come with us. Lets go to the Mortal Realm!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Mortal Realm
Capital, Imperial City...
Ever since the barrier that protects the Central City had been broken, countless demons had come attacking the Imperial City. Under the rule of the current Dragon Emperor, Hou Longqing, they had successfully blocked the waves of demons which werent led personally by the Seven Deadly Sins. Devil Fennu and Devil Shulan hadnt shown themselves yet ever since the invasion of the capital city had begun.
Some of the generals appeared before the Emperor and kneel before him saying, We greet his Majesty the Emperor!
You may stand, said Hou Longqing. Is there a problem?
Your Majesty! There are too many low-cla.s.s demons. Even though there are lots of generals, against a million without any rest is still not good.
I know. But once I and Heilan made our move, the High-ranked Devils would as well. Worst-case scenario Heilan and I will block them while you guys lead the rest to the teleportation circle and head to the west as well. Hou Longqing said.
Your Majesty! You cant! said the generals before him.
Hou Longqing said, Dont make me repeat myself. The Imperial City cannot be kept. You must protect the people. The head can be replaced anytime but not our people.
But this...
Enough talking. Here they come, Heilan said as he looked at the distant figure slowly appearing before their eyes.
Devil Fennu had flown closer toward them, obviously about to make a move. Floating above them he looks down on everyone under his feet. Following behind him was a man whom Hou Longqing and Heilan recognized very well.
With rage in his eyes, Hou Longqing called the name of that man in front of him. The cause of all the tragedy the human race is experiencing. The one who let the Catastrophe fall in the Mortal Realm. The traitor of their human race.
Jin. Bai. Hua!
His name is called but Jin Baihua was nonchalant about his name. When he saw the familiar face of the current kings face was someone of a former acquaintance, he couldnt help but show disgust in his eyes. This is a young man whom he obviously disliked even before he betrayed the human race.
Jin Baihua spoke, Look who we have here~... To think that the little crown prince from before had truly become the Emperor in the end. How sad... that your reign is too short... Your dynasty shall end here, Hahaha~
In the end, you become the devil himself, Heilan stated.
Jin Baihua looked at the man standing beside Hou Longqing. He obviously couldnt recognize this former demonic snake who almost killed him a few years ago. How would he recognize Heilan now that he is no longer a snake but a pureblood dragon with an Ancestral bloodline?
Oh,~ who was that beside you? Your Dao companion? This is not something I expected. Is that traitorous demonic snake from before no longer around? Did you end up killing it? asked Jin Baihua.
Everyone on that day knew that Hou Longqing had secretly brought away an injured demonic snake with him. No one complained or asked him to deal the final blow to the snake as they had forgotten about it when Lord Hei suddenly appeared and the Devil that ruler Greed, Tanlan also descended.
Compared to the dying demonic snake, Devil Tanlan caught much more attention plus with Lord Heis arrival things had become even more exciting. Who would still have the memory to remember a mere snake?
Hou Longqing yelled, I would never kill Lan-ge!
Jin Baihua guessed blindly and said, Dont tell me that snake had evolved and become a dragon? Such fairytale nonsense. This is the mortal realm, such a thing is impossible unless you have an immortal landing you a hand.
That is indeed what happened, Heilan said as he turned to his dragon form and let Hou Longqing stand on his head.
With a swipe of his tail, he killed off all low-level demons within the city while pulling away all the humans and throwing them in the direction of the Teleportation Circle.
AHHHHH!! Guardian! Your Majesty! We can still fight! said the soldiers and cultivators fighting in the front line just now.
Leave. Go to the West! commanded the Human Emperor, Hou Longqing.
Jin Baihua smirked and said, As expected of the Human Emperor, you are still trying to protect these useless things! But can you protect them with just the two of you?
Devil Shulan flew out toward the direction of the teleportation circle. He wanted to destroy the circle and kill more humans. Once the Teleportation Circle is destroyed there is no way for humans to save themselves from the demons.
BOOOM! BAM!
Sounds of explosions and fighting can be heard from their direction. It seems Princess Hou blocked Devil Shulan with some disciples of the Hou Long Sect. Protecting those who were inside the circle and making sure they safely arrived in the West.
Jin Baihua frowned for a bit seeing the explosion and the strong aura of elements of fire. There is only one sect that excels in fire techniques.
So the Hou Long Sect still exists even after the former emperor and his minister had abdicated? The one leading seems... the youngest imperial princess. You of the royal family are seriously hard to chew. Jin Baihua said.
Heilan and Hou Longqing started fighting. The two worked together to fight against Devil Fennu and Jin Baihua. It can be said that the former is not enough to defeat their enemies. Even though Heilan had awakened his dragon bloodline and is stronger than most because of his racial characteristic, Devil Fennu is currently using his real body.
A devil in his real body possessed the strength of an Immortal like those who live in the Upper Realm. A Dragon who hasnt ascended yet and a Human Emperor who is protected by the providence of the Mortal Realm could barely contend against Devil Fennu.
Heilan and Hou Longqing focused on Devil Fennu. The difference in strength is too big and a mere wave of the hand from Devil Fennu was enough to fight against the two of them.
Weak. Even awakening as a dragon didnt make you strong. Devil Fennu glanced at Jin Baihua and said, Baier, Shulan that fool is incapable of fighting directly. Can you help him?
Sure~, Jin Baihua said as he stopped his attacks on Hou Longqing and flew towards the direction where Devil Shulan had flown.
As expected, against a devil that possesses the strength of that of an immortal. Heilan and Hou Longqing werent enough. Especially the Human Emperor whose physical body is weaker than Heilan and Devil Fennu.
Devil Fennu targeted Hou Longqing much more than he did Heilan. It is the devils nature to target the weak first before the strong.
Heilan was furious against such action and had to use his tail to push away Devil Fennu forcefully and ended up getting his tail sc.r.a.pe off his scales and some flesh.
ROOOAAARRR!!
Hou Longqing saw what happened and looked at Heilan worried after hearing his screams in agony.
Lan-ge!! screamed Hou Longqing.
The flying black dragon fell from the sky yet securely protected Hou Longqing from their fall. Heilan endured the pain and looked at Hou Longqings eyes filled with worry and sadness. His tears continuously fell from his eyes.
Dont cry, AQing. Im still... alive whispered Heilan.
Hou Longqing said, Lan-ge. Im sorry. If you didnt meet me, you wouldnt have to suffer like this.
Its my choice. I shall accompany as I promise. Heilan said.
Jin Baihua together with Devil Shulan had returned. The two didnt look good as some traces of their clothes were burned. Devil Shulan looks especially burned. He was covered in black ashes and half of his hair almost turned afro after being cooked in the fire.
Devil Shulan complains, Agh! That little b.i.t.c.h! No one told me that a human possesses such a strong Yang Physique. She suddenly destroyed her foundation causing such a big explosion. Moreover, she still escaped and the Teleportation Circle was destroyed.
Hou Longqing, your Imperial Family is full of surprises. Your little sister had successfully escaped thanks to the sacrifice of all your generals. In the end, you become an Emperor without any subjects remaining. Jin Baihua said. Your Dragon seems to be dying too as well. What do you plan to do next? Heh~
