Chapter 287 – Condensing the True Dragon Avatar! Breakthrough to Celestial Venerable Imminent!

Meng Tianxuan was momentarily stunned, his anger flaring up, and his face instantly darkened:

“Qin Yang, don’t be ungrateful! I’ve given you enough face, offering so many benefits, and you still dare to refuse me?!”

“No matter how many times you ask, my answer remains the same.”

Qin Yang said coldly, crossing his arms and taking a slow step back. “Say whatever you want. Our Exploding Heavens Gang has no interest in associating with a hypocrite like you!”

“I am from Jianghai. In any case, you absolutely cannot touch Jianghai!”

“Foolish! You’re digging your own grave!”

Meng Tianxuan gritted his teeth, staring intently at Qin Yang, frustrated as if he were watching an unteachable student. “Do you really think your Exploding Heavens Gang has the ability to resist the foreign powerhouses?

With your meager strength, forget about the Black Hole aliens—even I could eliminate you right here!”

As his words fell.

Boom!

Star Power erupted!

The surrounding terrain collapsed, cracks spreading like a spiderweb, quickly covering the ground.

“Tsk, look at you, getting impatient again.”

Qin Yang sighed at the sight, having long been prepared. Unhurriedly, he took half a step back, activated “Close at Hand,” and instantly teleported a hundred meters away.

In the next moment.

He had already evaded the attack range.

“Alliance Lord, calm down. Did I hit a sore spot, making you lose control again?”

Qin Yang said coldly, facing him. “Since I came to your hypocritical invitation, how could I not be on guard?”

“What?!”

Meng Tianxuan was taken aback, halting his pursuit of Qin Yang. Sensing something, he turned to look around.

In the next moment.

Boom! Boom!

Several terrifying auras burst forth—among the forest leaves, in the twilight, on the city wall… Earth Venerable Realm Supremes seemed to be everywhere, directly locking onto Meng Tianxuan’s position.

“You set up a trap. Did you really think I would walk into it alone?”

Qin Yang crossed his arms, speaking indifferently, his expression calm and composed. He thought about his imminent breakthrough to the Celestial Venerable Realm[1], which would make him the strongest top-tier expert on Earth Star, leaving him completely unafraid of Meng Tianxuan!

“Fine, you win this round!”

Meng Tianxuan’s eyes turned sinister as he assessed the situation.

His severe injuries had only recently healed. If he pushed Qin Yang too far and Qin Yang launched a suicidal attack, he truly wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

He had no choice but to retreat!

“Rejecting me today will be something you regret in the future!”

With these harsh words, he turned and swiftly fled into the distance.

“Tch, nothing but a hypocrite.” Qin Yang curled his lip and, seeing Meng Tianxuan’s figure disappear into the distance, promptly left the suburban border.

Cooperating with the Supreme Alliance was no different from making a pact with the devil!

……….

Not long after Qin Yang left.

Vroom, vroom…

The roar of engines tore through the night as the Star Martial Police Department’s border patrol arrived. High-beam headlights lit up the area, and a convoy of patrol armored vehicles drove in.

Soon.

The clearing was surrounded by vehicles.

The Police Inspector Commander slowly opened the car door, stepped out, and stood on-site to direct operations. The night wind rustled through the pine forest, the sound of the swaying trees washing over them.

But the place was empty.

The evening wind was bleak, with no trace of anyone left.

At that moment.

“Commander, they’ve all left,”

an officer approached, holding a transmission walkie-talkie. “The brothers stationed in the southeast direction confirmed that the targets ended their meeting and dispersed toward the southeast.”

“Are there any signs of a fight nearby?”The Police Inspector Commander’s heart rose to his throat. “What was that Star Power fluctuation just now?”

“Reporting, sir. All Star Power fluctuations in the vicinity are normal. According to reports from outposts stationed nearby, no abnormalities have been detected.”

A squad member whispered his report: “The brothers said Sword God’s Senior Disciple emerged completely unscathed, while the Supreme Alliance Leader left in utter disarray.”

“Is that so?”

Hearing this, the Police Inspector Commander seemed to sense something. His gaze shifted to the rock where Qin Yang had been sitting earlier, and he was instantly shocked.

The one who went alone to the meeting actually scared off the one who set the trap?!

Absurd!

What a complete reversal of the natural order!

……….

Meanwhile.

Several kilometers away, in Fuhai District.

Qin Yang descended silently by the roadside and strode purposefully under the moonlight toward home, contemplating recent events as he walked.

Judging by Meng Tianxuan’s character.

Since he had rejected him this time.

That guy definitely wouldn’t let it go so easily!

From now on, he’d have to be cautious around him when going out.

Just as these thoughts crossed his mind.

His pocket vibrated.

Qin Yang took out his phone and saw a new message:

[Xiaobai: Master, where did you run off to? You’ve been gone so long! When are you coming back? This Fairy is waiting at home to eat with you!]

Accompanied by a sticker of a cartoon white-furred little fox.

“This silly fox is getting better and better at using the internet.”

Qin Yang chuckled wryly. Just as he was about to call back, he frowned slightly, noticing several unread messages in his phone.

[Li Zixuan: Senior Brother, are you alright over there? Does Shimei need to come?]

Moreover, there were various other messages.

Not just from Li Zixuan, but also from Xia He and Li Qinghe.

While asking about the situation, Xia He had also sent along the police evacuation points, laid out along Jianghai City’s suburban border, suggesting Qin Yang should retreat to these safe zones if outmatched;

Meanwhile, Li Qinghe had summoned the Li Family’s Array Masters, advising Qin Yang to head for the city wall where the City Defense Array could buy him some time once activated.

Every second counted!

A single second was enough for someone in the Supreme Realm to cover several kilometers with Instantaneous Movement!

“…”

The night breeze carried a slight chill. As Qin Yang walked, he scrolled through the messages, warmth spreading through his heart at these concerned greetings, feeling genuinely touched.

Since coming to this world, he had no blood relatives, but he’d ultimately met people who cared. In this vast world, he wasn’t completely alone after all.

Having people who cared about you wasn’t necessarily a burden…

Qin Yang stood firm under the starry sky, gazing up at the nine Black Holes in the heavens. Beneath the immense sky covering everything, his figure appeared as insignificant as drifting plankton.

“One day, I must resolve these dangers!”

…

A short while later.

Approaching dawn.

Returning to the courtyard, Qin Yang had Xiaobai secure the doors and windows before changing into clean white robes and sitting directly on the ground in the courtyard.

Under the cold moonlight, both sun and moon hung misplaced in the sky.

The eastern horizon gradually brightened, showing the first light of dawn. Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, as steady as an old monk in deep meditation, fully immersed in his Enlightenment Space.

Now, with his comprehension deepening, the True Dragon Avatar was nearly complete!

“It should be soon now.”

Qin Yang continued refining the True Dragon Avatar.

Within his mind’s eye…A golden dragon roamed freely, vivid and lifelike, with antler-like horns, eagle-like claws, and fish-like scales. Its majestic body pierced through clouds and mist, its crimson-gold scales expanding and contracting with each breath, its eyes blazing like torches—dignified and magnificent.

Within ten days, he would shatter the shackles of the Earth Venerable threshold and successfully break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm!

Once the True Dragon Avatar solidified,

he would ascend to become the pinnacle existence of this world!

By then, that insignificant Meng Tianxuan would be effortlessly subdued.
