Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1618 - 719: Power of the Coiled Dragon (2)

After Yang Jian’an’s face alternated between red and green, he finally couldn’t hold it in and barked:

"You beasts who still live on raw flesh and blood, looks like you still remember that within my Six Paths Celestial Court, there is a True Immortal of the Earth Immortal Realm!

Since that’s the case, why aren’t you retreating at once... I’ve already used the Communication Jade to send word of the situation here back to the Middle Celestial Palace. Once my master, the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, learns of this, he will surely shatter the void and come, subdue all you barbaric beasts without exception!"

Though his mouth said so, this chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, Yang Jian’an, ultimately felt too embarrassed to keep backing toward the Magic Artifact Flying Ship...

After all, he was the chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor. When outside, he represented the face of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor. If he were to suffer mockery now and flee without fighting, once the matter spread, spread through the entire Star River... leaving aside whether the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor would hold him to account, he himself would no longer have the face to walk outside the Middle Celestial Palace!

At this moment, the Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing slightly furrowed her brows, stirred the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in her hand, pointing from afar at Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, and spoke aloud:

"That Star River war between the Human Race and Beast Race more than twenty thousand years ago arose entirely over a struggle for resources. What right or wrong was there in it? It was nothing more than the victor becoming king and the loser becoming bandit!

Twenty thousand years ago, the war was victor and vanquished; today, it is the same!

You, Beast Race Ancestor—if you can defeat me, Mo Liqing, then I, Mo Liqing, will likewise lead the Ghost Race far away to another land, and this Northern Celestial Star Realm will belong wholly to your Beast Race!

But if you are defeated by my hand this time, I will not humiliate you. You need only lead these Beast Race subordinates of yours back to the star system where you live, and no longer kindle such wars that cause billions upon billions of living beings to fall!

If you win, you gain a Star Domain; if you lose, you withdraw back to your territory—how is that?"

Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, who was stepping on golden ripples as he walked toward Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing, heard these words, and his expression couldn’t help but shift as he spoke:

"This wager is indeed quite good, and indeed large enough. You, Northern Celestial Emperor, do indeed have some of a Great Emperor’s bearing!

This bearing is somewhat like that of the number one expert of the Human Race back then, Old Li, who pressed me by a margin. I underestimated you; the words I said earlier about taking you as a mount, I take back entirely. Toward true strong ones with blood in their veins, my Beast Race has always shown respect!

Furthermore,

since you’ve directly laid down such a grand stake, what would I, Qiu Jin, have to fear!

In this battle, if you win, I will lead the many Beast Race experts to withdraw, and for three thousand years we will not set foot upon any Star Domain controlled by the Human Race!

If you are defeated, then you will hand over the Northern Celestial Star Realm to me, complete and intact!"

Before his voice even fell, this Beast Race Ancestor’s entire body flickered with golden light; he had already turned into a shadow, streaking like a bolt toward Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing!

The speed of this Beast Race Ancestor’s charge was extremely fast, far surpassing that of ordinary Thirteenth Layer of Transcendence Perfection Realm experts, so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. Even Yang Jian’an and the other Twelfth-Layer Transcendence Realm experts of the Middle Celestial Palace had to drive their True Qi into their eyes in order to barely track the position of this Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin!

The Northern Celestial Empress Mo Liqing moved as well at this moment; she swung the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword, activating its Special Ability of shattering Divine Souls, turning herself into one phantom after another, and clashed with the phantom Qiu Jin had become!

As the two sides exchanged blows,

light flared without end,

golden light shot in rapid succession from the body of Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin,

his two fists turning into countless shadows,

while the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in the Northern Celestial Empress’s hand turned into hundreds and thousands of rainbows!

Wave after wave of intense ripples, generated by fierce collisions of True Qi, spread out in all directions!

The three Female Celestial Generals of the North Celestial Palace and several of the Eleventh-Layer Transcendence generals among the strong ones were struck by those spreading golden light and purple-blue ripples; all of them changed expression drastically, ceaselessly circulating True Qi to form transparent True Qi Shields, barely resisting! Yet under the sweep of the purple-blue ripples, their Heart Spirits shook constantly; they only felt their heads spinning and swelling, finding it difficult even to stand firm in the void! And those spreading golden ripples obstructed the flow of their True Qi, making it extremely sluggish, forcing them to exert themselves to the utmost to barely maintain their protective True Qi Shields!

Those golden light ripples and purple-blue ripples, when they spread onto the surrounding Magic Artifact Flying Ships, immediately caused every Flying Ship possessing powerful defensive ability to shake without stop, great sparks leaping from their surfaces! If these Magic Artifact Flying Ships were not strong large-class vessels, and moreover the finest large Magic Artifact Flying Ships in the Middle Celestial Palace and North Celestial Palace, then the mere aftershocks of the two top-tier experts’ clash would likely have damaged the Array Patterns inscribed on the surfaces of the ships, directly ruining them!

On Yang Jian’an’s side, the chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor fared no better. The Celestial Generals of the Middle Celestial Palace beside him, though many were Twelfth-Layer Realm experts of the Transcendence Realm, faced with the aftershocks of Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin and Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing’s battle, these Cultivators were all forced to drive their True Qi Shields to the limit to protect themselves from being swept up and injured!

Even those Cyan-Scaled Flying Dragons that had originally surrounded the Magic Artifact Flying Ships of the Middle Celestial Palace and North Celestial Palace had to retreat some distance to the rear.... The weakest of these Cyan-Scaled Flying Dragons possessed the Twelfth-Layer Realm of the Transcendence Realm, and because they were naturally gifted members of the Beast Race, their bodies were exceedingly strong, yet even so they had to retreat three steps to avoid suffering harm from the battle’s aftershocks!

Seeing this scene,

the True Immortal Emperor’s chief disciple Yang Jian’an, whose face had originally shown panic, grew gradually paler.

As the chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor, he naturally had his own pride in his heart. Even though he had just shrunk back, he had done so with the mindset that "if the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood," not because he truly believed he would forever be inferior to that Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin!

Yet watching the distant Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, who had roused his golden light, and Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing, who had activated the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword,

this chief disciple of the Six Paths True Immortal suddenly felt an extremely distinct sense of powerlessness, for he had clearly sensed the gulf between himself and Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, the gulf between himself and Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing—so vast a gulf it was like that between a thousand-pound ferocious beast of extraordinary Talent and a newborn Human Race infant... This was not merely a difference in Realm, but also a difference in Talent, a difference in Magical Artifacts, a difference in Cultivation Techniques, a difference in battle skill!

In this moment, staring at the blurred shadow born of Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing’s swift flight, staring at the golden-radiant Beast Race Ancestor Qiu Jin, Yang Jian’an suddenly felt a powerlessness and terror akin to when he faced his own master, the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor!

The other Cultivators of the Middle Celestial Palace, as well as the many Celestial Generals and generals of the North Celestial Palace, upon seeing this incomparably fierce, incomparably swift, incomparably savage battle, all felt their expressions constantly shifting.

In the distance,

a Golden Armored Warrior standing upon the back of a Cyan-Scaled Giant Dragon couldn’t help but speak in admiration:

"Over these more than twenty thousand years, Ancestor has not poured most of his Energy into Breaking Realms,

but has instead Cultivated the Power of the Coiled Dragon within his body to be even more rounded, even more formidable!

In these twenty thousand years, among the eight hundred billion Cultivators of the Golden Horn Race, not one has been able, like Ancestor, to Cultivate this Power of the Coiled Dragon—which can suppress opponents and rouse his own potential—to such an extent!

If we went back more than twenty thousand years and Ancestor already possessed this level of Power of the Coiled Dragon, then even remaining only at the Eighth-Layer of Transcendence Realm, when facing the number one expert of the Human Race back then, Old Li, he would certainly have been able to easily fight beyond his Realm and win!

And now, facing the number one genius of the Human Race, Mo Liqing, whose Realm is one level higher than Ancestor’s and whose Magical Artifact is exceptionally fine, Ancestor will surely be able to battle and triumph, easily winning for our Beast Race a vast Northern Celestial Star Realm with boundless territory! Hahahahaha!"
