Boom!
Two indescribable forces crashed down and collided with each other!
One was the Human Emperor's creation, representing the supreme treasure of his future path, the Ninefold Celestial Palace; the other was formed by the fusion of the Ancient Four Great Beasts, representing all the greed, ignorance, brutality, and cunning in the world—the Evil and Malicious!
Each force was powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth, and they collided right before Wang Long and the others!
From their eyes, they saw a massive palace radiating with countless rays of light, accompanied by the nine layers of sky and thousands of clouds and colorful lights pressing down fiercely, yet it was entirely lifted high by an ancient giant beast!
The Evil and Malicious actually supported the Human Emperor's treasure with its own strength!
In shock, Wang Long and his companions quickly reacted, shouting in unison as they reached out to assist!
Jiang Xue swung her Azure Wind and Yellow Spring Staff, causing countless vines to dance wildly, transforming into an endless dense jungle with towering ancient trees that tightly obstructed the descent of the celestial palace; Ling Li raised a Calming Pearl high, manifesting a greenish-blue light that continuously clashed with the myriad rays of light.
Wang Long transformed into a giant, resembling a legendary demon, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Evil and Malicious, both extending their arms to firmly support the celestial palace!
However, even with Wang Long's current cultivation level, combined with the unmatched strength of Evil and Malicious, along with the assistance of Jiang Xue and Ling Li, they still felt an overwhelming pressure descending upon them, making them feel somewhat powerless!
"What an incredible treasure! What kind of power is this?!"
The Evil and Malicious growled softly, letting out an angry roar.
Wang Long understood the power of this treasure well and shouted, " Ling Li Jiang Xue ! We need to leave immediately! This treasure created by the Human Emperor is something we cannot contend with for now; it's best to retreat!"
Both Ling Li and Jiang Xue were slightly taken aback. They had clearly seen Evil and Malicious come to help, yet Wang Long said such words. Could this treasure truly be that formidable?!
However, both of them understood the power of Wang Long and knew that since he said so, there must be a reason behind it. They stopped entangling with him and immediately gritted their teeth, transforming into two beams of light, escaping from the immense pressure of the Nine Heavens Palace and swiftly fleeing into the distance.
"Brother Evil and Malicious! Let's retreat for now; there will be a time to encounter him again in the future!"
Wang Long gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to the utmost, pushing upwards with great force. At the same time, Evil and Malicious also unleashed all of his power.
The two shouted in unison, releasing a force powerful enough to split the heavens and earth, temporarily breaking through the majesty of the Ninefold Celestial Palace, that supreme treasure, and forcibly escaping from its might!
Without hesitation, they immediately took flight, transforming into two beams of light that rapidly soared into the sky.
The Human Emperor smiled slightly, blocking the pursuit of others, and whispered, "Let them go! It's not yet time..."
Wang Long and Evil and Malicious had profound cultivation. Although they had just suffered some suppression, they had not sustained any substantial injuries and quickly recovered after a few breaths.
They soon caught up with Jiang Xue and Ling Li.
"What happened?! Are you two still no match for just one avatar of the Human Emperor?!" Ling Li asked loudly in disbelief upon seeing Wang Long and Evil and Malicious arrive.
Evil and Malicious's expression darkened as he snorted coldly and shook his head.
Wang Long said softly, "No, this is not the power of the Human Emperor's avatar; it's the might of his treasure! This treasure is unlike any other in the world; it was created after he comprehended all the marvelous laws of the world through studying the Thirteen Volumes of Dragon Script Heavenly Book."
"It not only represents an unparalleled infinite power but also embodies his thoughts, his ambitions, everything he is."
"This treasure can only be countered by one thing..."
Jiang Xue suddenly spoke up, "Is this the extraordinary treasure you asked the elders of Dragon City to forge?"
Wang Long nodded, "That's right! It is indeed that... However, I never expected such a treasure to possess such power! It cannot be resisted by mere strength or cultivation! This represents a struggle between the will of heaven and humanity, a contest of fate!"
Evil and Malicious scratched his head and whispered, "What does that mean?!"
Wang Long sighed with a bitter smile, "It means... this is a gamble bestowed by heaven between the Human Emperor and me!"
"I once said that there are two possible outcomes for this battle: one is an open and reckless slaughter on the battlefield; the other is the contest between the Human Emperor and me."
"Now, I finally see his trump card, and I must hasten my preparations..."
Ling Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of treasure did you ask the elders to create? Can it really compare to what the Human Emperor has?"
Wang Long smiled, "When the treasure is revealed, you will understand."
He kept them in suspense and sighed slightly, "It's a pity that the Human Emperor is still keenly observant and has a broad perspective. His cultivation has already reached such a level that he transformed himself to come to Yingzhou in search of the Dragon Emperor's Bones. I have already lost a move; it seems I won't be able to obtain the Dragon Emperor's Bones from Yingzhou..."
Jiang Xue nodded, "Moreover, a month passes in the blink of an eye. We must return to Dragon City immediately; I'm afraid the Dragon Heads from various places, along with the Dragon King from the Four Seas, will soon arrive."
Wang Long agreed, and the three of them swiftly flew back toward Dragon City.
Evil and Malicious also transformed into human form, appearing as a middle-aged man who looked no different from an ordinary person. However, the hint of cruelty in his eyes and an unfathomable aura sent chills down one's spine.
Although all four possessed exceptional cultivation levels, it still took nearly ten days to traverse the vast Yingzhou and reach Dragon City on Ancestor Continent in the Kyushu Islands.
At this moment, the time for the agreement with the Dragon King and the various Dragon Heads of the Kyushu Islands was approaching.
As soon as the four landed, they immediately saw several elders coming to greet them.
Leading the group was Wang Yuanxian, his face beaming with a smile, as if something joyful had occurred.
"Elder Wang looks so happy; could it be that something good has happened?" Ling Li couldn't help but ask first.
Wang Yuanxian smiled and said, "Indeed, it's about the magical artifact that the Dragon Lord entrusted us to create..."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. After witnessing the power of the artifact in the hands of the Human Emperor, no one could help but anticipate the emergence of something that could rival it in this world.
Now, Wang Yuanxian actually said that there was progress in forging this artifact, which was exciting news.
However, Wang Long did not share the same level of excitement as everyone else; he merely smiled lightly and said, "I guess there is some assurance now? It can't be completed so quickly..."
Wang Yuanxian nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "The Dragon Lord truly has keen insight. When we were forging this artifact before, I and several elders were completely at a loss and gained nothing. However, after the Dragon Head bestowed us with Dragon Without a Leader last time, through research with Elder Liu and several other experts, we finally have some clues. We should be able to start working on it soon..."
