Chapter 2382 - Old And Cunning
The Profound Sky Venerable was shocked when he saw the dragon’s claw that stretched out from space. The carving was bloody, as though the dragon’s claw was carving directly into Lin Yun’s soul. The pain also made Lin Yun’s face sinister while he was down on one knee.
“Profound Sky Venerable, what’s going on?” Even Lin Jiangxian couldn’t help turning to look at Profound Sky Venerable. Everyone else also became nervous, while Profound Sky Venerable looked like he already had an answer.
Profound Sky Venerable said, “Wanting to refine a Divine Sovereign Dragon Pellet isn’t easy and requires the recognition from the Azure Dragon Constellation. Usually, only an Ancestral Stage expert could refine it. But if one could refine it, it would bestow the blessing of an Eternal Sovereign Constellation, as well as the benefits of the pellet.”
Everyone finally knew what was going on upon hearing that. They naturally knew four Eternal Sovereign Constellations: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
“Generally speaking, the Azure Dragon Constellation would only open one eye to take a look before bestowing benefits, and it would only be a Divine Dragon Baptism, at best. But using the dragon’s claw to bestow cultivation or bloodline is the highest possible treatment...” The Profound Sky Venerable said in a trembling tone. He continued, “It is scarce, and I've only heard about engraving the Divine Dragon Sovereign Seal from legends. This is the same as bestowing nobility. This also means that Lin Yun has surpassed everyone, whether in regards to Azure Dragon Dao or Dragon Clan’s body-refining technique. This is the same as receiving the Sovereign Constellation’s acknowledgment, and he could use the power of an Eternal Sovereign Constellation anytime.”
When Profound Sky Venerable finished speaking, the engraving of the Divine Dragon Sovereign Seal was also completed and a golden seal appeared on Lin Yun’s forehead. In the next second, Lin Yun gave off a powerful dragon aura that made him look like a deity.
“This is unbelievable. I thought the Divine Dragon Sovereign Physique was heaven-defying enough... but he managed to obtain the Divine Dragon Sovereign Seal...” Profound Sky Venerable muttered. The Divine Sovereign Dragon Pellet might be rare, but there were at least a hundred people who had obtained them over the past thousand to three thousand years. But no one could reach Lin Yun’s height.
“You guys don’t disturb him, but watch from afar. I’ll seal off the news,” Profound Sky Venerable said as he saw several people coming over.
There were only seven days left till a month had passed, and there were still many people in Heavenly Barren City. The colossal commotion naturally alarmed them into thinking that a treasure had appeared.
But Profound Sky Venerable released his aura as an Emperor and shifted those people away. When those people landed on the ground, they could hear Profound Sky Venerable’s voice in their ears, “No one is allowed to enter. Those who enter will die!”
Everyone was afraid upon hearing that but had no idea what was happening.
When the dragon’s claw disappeared, Lin Yun regained control over his body, and he heaved a sigh in relief when he landed on the ground. He touched his forehead, and the Divine Dragon Sovereign Seal disappeared. He could still sense the existence of the seal, since it was engraved on his skull and soul. When he was in tremendous pain earlier, a massive amount of information was being crammed into his mind, and it was all about the Divine Dragon Sovereign Seal.
“I see...” Lin Yun looked at the closed sky and remembered many things. He recalled his fight on the Heavenly Path, where he also saw a dragon in the sky and a pair of dragon’s eyes. There were also his encounters in the Azure Dragon Palace and receiving an inheritance from the Azure Dragon Lord.
Ji Zixi only knew that Lin Yun possessed the Azure Dragon Sun-Moon Umbrella, but she didn’t know that he had long inherited the Azure Dragon Lord’s title. Because of his existence on the Heavenly Path, it was already destined that he would receive the Divine Dragon Sovereign Seal and the Divine Sovereign Dragon Pellet was only meant to speed up the process.
Seeing Ji Zixi and everyone else in the surroundings, Lin Yun smiled, “You guys can come over now. I’m fine.”
He had long sensed their existences, and he knew that they must have been worried about him. But he couldn’t deliver any information to them earlier.
“How is that possible? Even if an Emperor restricts their cultivation, it doesn’t affect the strength of experts like them. I have been beaten since I was young, so I can say that,” Xiong Tiannan said with shock.
Lin Jiangxian merely smiled and said nothing.
In the ruins, Profound Sky Venerable asked, “Don’t say I’m looking down on you. I will only defend and not attack. If you can make me step back, consider it my loss.”
Lin Yun raised his brow upon hearing that, and smiled, “Why don’t we make a bet? If I win...”
But before he finished, Profound Sky Venerable laughed and looked at him playfully, “Don’t just mention that you win. What if you lost? If you lose, you will stay behind in Heaven’s Gate for a hundred years. If you dare to take that bet, I will bet with you.”
He had a strong stance, so he didn’t bother concealing his objectives.
“Sure,” Lin Yun said without any hesitation.
“Come, let me see how powerful the Divine Dragon Sovereign Physique is!” Profound Sky Venerable laughed with excitement flashing in his eyes. After all, how long has it been since someone achieved the Divine Dragon Sovereign Physique? Not to mention that Lin Yun even possessed the Divine Dragon Sovereign Seal and could use the power of an Eternal Sovereign Constellation!
He was confident in his strength, and Lin Yun was only a seventh-stage Saint Lord. Even if the Divine Dragon Sovereign Physique was powerful, he wanted to teach Lin Yun a lesson to strike a blow in his confidence. The moment he finished speaking, he laughed as he began to form seals.
As the light shone on Profound Sky Venerable, light began to pour into his body, and it soon formed into a golden armor on his body.
“This is the Heavenly Metal Divine Physique, and I will only use a hundred different Metal Saint Daos, restricting my cultivation as a first-stage Saint Lord. But in terms of the physique, my physique can be comparable to a Threespirit Glory Saint Artifact.” Profound Sky Venerable gave off a powerful aura. He then smiled, “This is under the condition that I don’t use my body-refining technique, or I will become even more powerful.”
Lin Jiangxian’s face became grave. She had to admit that the Heavenly Metal Divine Physique was powerful. It was equivalent to cheating for an Emperor to use it against a junior, since it was impossible to lose.
“He’s old and cunning,” Xiong Tiannan sighed.
“He’s too bad!” Ji Zixi frowned unhappily.
Profound Sky Venerable wasn’t furious, but smiled instead, “What do you mean old and cunning? You guys should learn!”
Lin Yun frowned as he wore a grave expression. The light on Profound Sky Venerable’s body was equivalent to the Golden-Eyed Demonspirit’s demonic runes.
“Don’t bother looking. Even if you look for a hundred years, you can’t find the weakness of my divine physique,” Profound Sky Venerable smiled. “The Heavenly Metal Armor consists of over ten thousand combinations, and there aren’t any weaknesses. Even if there are weaknesses, they will only be traps.”
Lin Yun flung his lips to the side because this old man was really arrogant.
