Chapter 265 – Upon Emerging, the Dragon Roars Across Nine Heavens

Four years passed in the blink of an eye, yet they failed to erode the flesh-and-blood heart. The merciless blade of time vanished in an instant, gradually tempering an ordinary mortal into the form he was destined to possess.

Unyielding!

Refusing to be toyed with by fate!

Pressing forward with relentless determination!

Roar, roar, roar!

These earth-shattering roars swept in like a raging storm, overwhelming the skies and the earth, as if stirring the very fabric of the universe, appearing boundless and majestic.

Like a laugh echoing through the martial world, who in this realm could claim invincibility?

Arrogant and unruly, embodying the wild and untamed spirit of our generation, none could surpass the one who possessed the strongest heart, standing proudly above all others.

In that instant, the sea of flames underwent a mysterious transformation, shifting into a different form.

It seemed as if its fury had been ignited, swelling before everyone’s eyes like a surging tidal wave, resembling a budding flower ready to bloom, piercing through the sky and soaring straight to the highest heavens.

“My martial path, even if the world turns upside down ahead, I will press on without hesitation. How could mere obstacles like ‘your’ mountain of blades and sea of flames stop me?” Ye Kuang murmured to himself.

Just as the crowd was bewildered, the scene before them abruptly changed, their ears still echoing with the furious dragon-like roars of “Devour them all!”

Before their eyes, towering explosive flames surged skyward, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that the fire seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, rapidly separating.

Faintly visible, a crimson embryonic form stood proudly within the sea of flames, like a body forged from refined iron, unclothed yet exuding the unyielding, masculine pride of a mortal defying fate.

Seeing this, the Old Taoist couldn’t help but dance with joy, delighting like a child.

It could be said that the decades of rivalry with the Old Alchemist had brought him little pleasure compared to the joy he felt at this moment.

In contrast, the Old Alchemist’s face turned ashen, clearly still unable to believe what he was witnessing.

And at this moment, wasn’t everyone else the same?

Without exception, they were all struck with awe and terror!

Thump, thump, thump!

Within the sea of flames, the increasingly intense drumbeats pounded like iron fists hammering against everyone’s chests.

In an instant, even those at the Innate realm turned pale, and some weaker-willed experts in the Dao Inquiry Realm couldn’t help but change their expressions.

“Ah, I know that man! He’s my boss!”

“Incredibly powerful!”

“This is an Innate aura, but why does it feel like I’m facing someone in the Dao Inquiry Realm?”

“Look! What is that guy trying to do?”

As the roaring cheers surged wave after wave, the entire scene was boiling with excitement.

Ye Kuang strode forward slowly, the sea of flames around him rendered utterly useless, unable to hinder the advance of this mere mortal in the slightest.

The terrifying flames, upon touching his body, seemed to be inexplicably devoured, dissipating into wisps of smoke.

From a distance, it appeared as though these flames existed solely to nourish and empower him.

Soon, it became evident that the rising Yin and Yang energies, clear above and turbid below, swirled violently around Ye Kuang’s hands before transforming into coiled dragons and vanishing into his palms.

The speed was so astonishing, unlike anything ever witnessed before!

With an overwhelming momentum, he exuded an aura capable of swallowing mountains and rivers across thousands of miles.

His entire presence felt like a vast, boundless galaxy—seemingly within reach yet existing far beyond the horizon. He possessed the grandeur to absorb all things in the world and the domineering power to devour the heavens and the earth.

This inexplicable sensation washed over everyone in waves, and even the Dao Inquiry experts present couldn’t help but tremble in fear.One might say that even Ye Kuang himself was likely in a state of shock, unable to free himself from it.

However, as the forces of extreme yang and yin transformed into immortal power, roaring through his limbs and bones, all his thoughts and confusion were cast from his mind.

Now was the perfect opportunity for him to ascend to the heavens in a single step.

It was only at this moment that Ye Kuang realized the hidden opportunity within the twelfth palm of Subduing Dragon, “Riding Six Dragons.”

And the feeling of growing stronger was so incredibly exhilarating!

Thinking this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but lose himself in the intoxicating surge of rising power, unable to resist.

Three hundred and sixty-eight years of cultivation.

Three hundred and seventy-five years of cultivation.

Until three hundred and eighty years!

Pop!

In an instant, Ye Kuang’s calm, placid heart shattered like a drop of liquid.

In a flash, everything changed!

Ye Kuang couldn’t help but tremble as a violent upheaval surged within and without his body.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The once-terrifying flame power, as if meeting its natural nemesis, poured into a single body like mud flowing into the sea.

In mere moments, the sea of flames, to the astonishment of all onlookers, silently transformed into a black dragon soaring into the sky.

After an unknown length of time, the layers of black mist and haze dissipated, revealing the truth within.

Ye Kuang’s body now resembled a weapon forged in fire, giving off an overwhelming sense of sharpness and lethality!

What followed was an eye-burning spectacle for many women, clearly their first time witnessing such a vulgar display.

Seeing this, Old Alchemist could no longer contain his fury and roared, “Stop this trickery! Where is Thousand Blades Hall?”

“Here!!!”

“Test him.”

“By your command, Venerable!”

As soon as the words fell, a figure shot forward like lightning, feet barely touching the ground as they leaped and bounded like a nimble monkey, landing in the center of the scorched earth!

It must be mentioned that this person was one of the top ten masters of Thousand Blades Hall, known as the King of Lightness Skill on Flat Ground, Yanbei King.

He was also a seasoned veteran of Dao Inquiry!

In the blink of an eye!

Before Yanbei King’s fist even landed, the air currents in mid-air were ruthlessly sliced apart, accompanied by the roaring sound of wind and thunder.

Bang!

But then, a thunderous explosion erupted, blasting into everyone’s eardrums.

The seemingly powerful and heavy fist, which appeared to strike Ye Kuang’s chest, felt like a gentle breeze brushing the surface, sinking like a stone into the sea.

The scene froze, leaving everyone stunned.

Ye Kuang remained as if meditating with his eyes closed, allowing countless fists to rain down upon him without end.

Under the sky, there was no sound but the incessant clashing of metal against metal.

It was like the ringing of heated iron being forged, a resonant, fiery symphony that was both thrilling and deeply shocking.

This terrifying physical defense was so formidable that even Luo Hua, renowned for his Iron Body, couldn’t help but retreat in astonishment.

As for the others, they were all left dumbfounded.

Yanbei King: “How is this possible?”

Hiss-boom!

Yanbei King: “Is this even a human body?”

Hiss-boom!!

Yanbei King: “I refuse to believe it!”

Hiss-boom!!!

For a moment, Yanbei King went into a frenzied, hysterical barrage, unleashing an unbelievable symphony of explosive force.

Yet, it must be said, for half an hour, the sounds in everyone’s ears were like the tolling of a giant bell, deafening and overwhelming.

And this unfolding situation—how could it be explained by mere “shock and disbelief”?Everyone was not only dumbfounded, but the sound of gasping in shock among them clearly never ceased, instantly becoming like an explosive powder keg.

As uproar filled the sky, the entire area was filled with awe-struck heroes.

Slap!

Yet who could have expected Yanbei King’s fist to be suddenly seized, startling a figure into widening his furious eyes.

It was none other than Ye Kuang!

“What are you doing? Roar, roar, roar!”

Rip!

In an instant, following the explosive roars akin to the cries of tigers and dragons, Yanbei King was immediately struck as if by lightning.

At a glance, Yanbei King’s cloak and armor burst apart like paper.

But upon closer inspection, it became clear that Yanbei King was already bleeding from all seven orifices, his eyes wide and round as if he had seen a ghost!

And the crowd could not conceal their dazed gazes, clearly having forgotten how to express their utter terror with words.

At a single glance, the roars were like the cries of tigers and dragons, thunder rumbling across the land. Above, the heavens roared with a deafening hum; below, the entire venue erupted in chaos.

Truly, the mad dragon, once dormant, now emerged with a roar that shook the nine heavens!
