Chapter 309 – True Dragon Suspended in the Air, Revered Like a God!

Under the impact of the aftershocks, dust shook loose from the stone chamber’s dome, fluttering down in a continuous rustle. The clamorous commotion made it impossible to focus, and the mountains trembled.

It felt as if the entire earth were shaking.

It was just too loud!

“What’s going on?” Li Qinghe pressed her hand against the wall, frowned, and turned to Li Zixuan. “Xuan Xuan, the soundproofing in your Jianghai Academy’s stone chamber doesn’t seem very effective, does it? Why can’t it even block the thunder outside?”

“That shouldn’t be the case,” Li Zixuan was also bewildered, staring at the vibrating rock walls in confusion. “I was meditating here earlier… Back then, even after many days, I couldn’t hear a single drop of rain. How could it have become like this now?”

If even the stone chamber could be shaken…

How terrifying must the thunder outside be?

Just as they were puzzling over it, Elder Li suddenly spoke up, his white brows furrowed gravely. “No, this is definitely no ordinary tremor!” He outright dismissed their assumptions.

The construction of this stone chamber was intricate—he had personally overseen its creation. The load-bearing walls were cast from Darkstone, with three layers of array inscriptions carved inside and out. At its maximum pressure resistance, it could even withstand attacks from an Earth Venerable.

In emergencies, it could even serve as a shelter!

Yet now, it was trembling…

How could the thunder penetrate the stone surface?

“How is this possible!?” Elder Li frowned in thought, as if recalling something, and slowly paced to the door.

Click!

He opened the stone door.

Immediately.

The scene outside came into view—a terrifying pressure swept across the Back Mountain, mountain winds whipping the forest into rolling waves, dark clouds pressing down heavily.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! A torrential storm surged like a raging tide!

Far in the southeast direction, a prolonged dragon’s roar resounded through the sky, and the heavens glowed with a brilliant golden hue.

“Oh my heavens…” Li Qinghe gaped at the spectacle outside. “Is this the end of the world?!”

“Am I hearing things… Did you all hear that?” She turned to the others, tilting her ear toward that part of the sky, hesitantly adding, “I think I heard a dragon’s roar?”

“Yes, it was a dragon’s roar,” Li Zixuan confirmed her guess, her earlobes flushed red with excitement as she clenched her fingers and gazed eagerly at the extraordinary sight on the horizon.

She remembered that direction… It was Fuhai District, the direction where her Senior Brother was! All the commotion seemed to originate from there.

“A dragon leaping among the clouds, and this aura… a Supreme? No, even the Supreme Realm isn’t this terrifying! Could it be… the Celestial Venerable Realm?!” Elder Li muttered in disbelief. As the outside wind blew past, he squinted into the distance, faintly discerning a dragon’s silhouette dancing among the clouds.

This aura was unmistakable.

Far surpassing that of an Earth Venerable!

“It’s the Celestial Venerable Realm…” Elder Li was astounded.

Could it be that Young Friend Qin had succeeded in his breakthrough!?

The youngest Celestial Venerable.

Unprecedented in history!

No!

In this entire world, he was the only one to have achieved it!

“The younger generation inspires awe! The Exploding Heavens Gang truly lives up to its reputation—they’re about to gain another Celestial Venerable!” Elder Li was overjoyed and naturally supportive of this development.

With one more Celestial Venerable in the Exploding Heavens Gang, Jianghai City’s overall strength would grow even greater!

In the future, they would have a better chance of resisting the incursions of the Beast God Cult!

“This is an auspicious sign. The manifestation of the true dragon is undoubtedly a blessing,” Elder Li declared, his white brows raised triumphantly as he waved to Li Zixuan and the others, urgently urging them.”Let’s go! Follow this old man quickly! The Celestial Venerable Realm is manifesting its avatar right now. Just by getting closer, we’ll benefit! Why bother breaking through here?”

“Let’s go immediately!”

“Agreed!”

The next moment.

They vanished in streaks of light.

As dusk gradually fell, the sunset glow framed the descending sun while twilight faded away. Torrential rain poured from the sky, yet the sky above Fuhai District appeared as bright as dawn.

Brilliant golden light seemed to pierce through the gloomy clouds.

……………

On the highway.

The setting sun sank below the horizon as the bright moon rose high. Neon lights and vehicle headlights merged into streams, yet the congested traffic remained at a standstill, forming an extended ribbon of dazzling lights.

It was the peak evening rush hour, with incessant honking intertwining.

The relentless curtain of rain resembled the Dragon King of Heaven pouring down water. A sound akin to both a dragon’s roar and thunderclaps captured all citizens’ attention.

People stepped out of their vehicles one after another, pulling out their phones to photograph the magnificent spectacle in the sky. Some grew so excited they danced about, while others braved the rain with umbrellas, attempting to get a closer look.

“What’s happening with that sky?!”

“Why is it turning golden!”

“A True Dragon manifestation? This is an auspicious sign!”

“Haven’t they been extinct? I always thought they were just legends!”

“It seems to be over Fuhai area? I always said that was a feng shui treasure land!”

“Blessings as vast as the Eastern Sea – now a true dragon has emerged from shallow waters! So magnificent!!”

“Such strong wind! Damn, I haven’t closed my windows at home!”

Just as people were exclaiming.

Suddenly!

A figure swept over their heads, carrying a Dark Bow on his back, heading straight for Fuhai Villa at such incredible speed that it stirred up even fiercer winds.

Whoosh!!

The rain above the overpass momentarily cleared, water vapor pushed aside!

But quickly gathered again.

Splash!

Some citizens lost grip of their phones, dropping them directly into puddles.

While Liu Wushuang raced across thousands of miles, his peripheral vision caught the fallen phone, feeling a pang of guilt, but he had no time to dwell on it.

None of this mattered now!!!

He looked ahead.

Sensing that aura.

“Celestial Venerable Avatar!”

Liu Wushuang was absolutely certain he couldn’t be mistaken – these were the signs of a Celestial Venerable Avatar manifesting!

Having failed to break through for years, though he’d never witnessed it personally, Meng Tianxuan had once described the signs of avatar formation.

Heaven and Earth coming to celebrate.

The scale far surpassed manifestations triggered in the Earth Venerable Realm by several times!

“This is the Celestial Venerable Realm!”

As scenery flashed by on both sides, Liu Wushuang’s aged face showed wild excitement. Recalling Qin Yang’s promise from days before, he clenched his fists in exhilaration.

Thrilled!

“The Young Gang Leader is breaking through to the Celestial Venerable Realm!”

……….

Above Fuhai District.

Golden clouds stretched across thousands of miles of night sky, noble aura misting densely, rolling thunder accompanying them, with a rainbow bridge spanning the heavens.

“Just a bit more.”

After an unknown duration, Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes, golden light bursting forth like an ancient dragon’s stern gaze, the changes within his body becoming increasingly evident.

He heard ancient calls, primal people performing rain rituals, uncertain which dynasty, with shaman maidens gracefully dancing while chanting sacred texts.

Power was now within reach.

The True Dragon Avatar soared into the sky, reaching its peak.

Wind and clouds churned,

As the saying goes: clouds follow dragons, wind follows tigers. Centered around Jianghai City, massive clouds migrated as if touched by some fundamental law.The rosy glow gradually dyed the layered clouds, and the sea of clouds gathered into a breathtaking vortex.

Meanwhile,

Unbeknownst to him, beneath this magnificent sea of clouds, more and more citizens were gathering below. A storm raged fiercely, dark clouds thickened across the sky, and a golden dragon roamed among the clouds.

The people bowed in worship.

Revering him as a deity…
