Chapter 1049: Chapter 67: Spiritual Spring, Ninth-Order Drifting, and the Sprouting Void Seed! (3)
Zhao Xing remained in human form, quietly staring at Yin Xiu, holding the Dragon Emperor’s Law.
Yin Xiu also scrutinized Zhao Xing, a sense of familiarity rising involuntarily.
In the large dragon eyes, a trace of obvious confusion appeared.
Wasn’t this the ’Fire Chi’ he had encountered half a year ago? What was the Dragon Clan’s true name?
It seemed to be ’Zhao’?
However, Zhao Xing’s presence was vastly different from half a year ago, and Dragon King Yin Xiu couldn’t be certain.
He only hesitated for a second before the dragon cloud descended, and the dragon head bowed to Zhao Xing’s feet.
"Gu Ting Yin Xiu, pays homage to the great Dragon Emperor’s Successor."
What Yin Xiu spoke was a variant of the Dragon Language used by Zhao Xing when issuing orders, all created by Dragon Emperor Jie in [Dragon Emperor Golden Text].
"Yin Xiu, why have you come?" Zhao Xing asked calmly.
"I have come to follow in your footsteps." Dragon King Yin Xiu was extremely respectful, "I and my vassal lords are willing to serve you."
Zhao Xing flew to the front of Yin Xiu’s dragon head: "Gu Ting Yin Xiu, I accept your allegiance."
"Your true name will be recorded in the Law Code, becoming the first Dragon King under my command!"
Saying this, Zhao Xing extended a palm and pressed it onto the sword scales of Dragon King Yin Xiu.
The Law Code held in his other hand emitted a surging golden light, with dragon shadows intertwining, transforming into the name Yin Xiu, appearing on the Dragon Emperor’s Law.
This was the Dragon King Enfeoffment Spell cast via the Dragon Emperor’s Law. With the support of the Dragon Emperor’s Law, he was only on par with a Great Dragon King, lacking the corresponding strength, needing to master the Nine Great Spells to truly possess the corresponding power.
The Enfeoffment Spell cast on Yin Xiu did not have much effect, serving only as a gesture.
This was because the remaining power in the Dragon Emperor’s Law was insufficient to enfeoff Yin Xiu as a ’Great Dragon King.’
Even though some power had been reclaimed, it was far from enough to enfeoff a Dragon King as a Great Dragon King.
However, it was sufficient to enfeoff a Dragon Clan Lord as a Dragon King.
To achieve this, one must first master the third page of the Dragon Emperor’s Law, then cast the ’Dragon King Enfeoffment Spell.’
The time was too short; Zhao Xing had yet to master one of the Nine Great Spells, the Dragon King Enfeoffment Spell.
Great Dragon King? It was even more impossible.
Even if he could, Zhao Xing wouldn’t do it.
A Great Dragon King level required consuming a large amount of Spiritual Energy to complete, and maintaining a normal state subsequently required a continuous supply of Spiritual Energy.
This was why the Great Dragon Kings of various countries fell into slumber.
It was entirely passive!
Lacking the massive amount of Spiritual Energy to maintain the norm, they could only slumber.
Zhao Xing himself was still in need of Spiritual Energy, so how could he create a Great Dragon King?
"Huang~"
Zhao Xing let out a Dragon Roar, imprinting his voice onto the reverse scale of Yin Xiu.
Then, unless Yin Xiu chose to forsake his Dragon Clan identity and become a reverse dragon, he could not defy his orders.
"Thank you for your grace, my lord." Yin Xiu was somewhat emotional, though the power was faint and of little help to him.
Yet, this was the great power of the Dragon Emperor he had once felt!
With the procedure completed, Zhao Xing immediately said:
"Yin Xiu, a great battle is unfolding on the Fire Hell Plain."
"I suspect it’s the doing of Heavenly Pool and Evil Sea, trying to tarnish the dignity of the Dragon Clan’s ancestral land."
"You shall accompany me to quell the rebellion!"
...
"Great Zhou has four members of the Human Clan who have obtained Dragon Rank at the king level."
"Adding up other forces, there are three individuals."
"They are ’Pompeii’ of the Southern Barbarian Purple Dragon Royal Court, who spent three hundred and fifty-six years undergoing numerous tests of the Dragon Court Ancestral Land, obtained the blood of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon, and verified the position of Dragon King, known as ’Sky Dragon King.’"
"’Tuoyan,’ the First Grade Sky Witch of the Golden Feather Royal Court, spent five hundred and eight years slaying thirty thousand seven hundred rebellious dragons in Evil Sea, endured trials of blood and fire, obtained the blood of the Ancient Fire Dragon, and verified the position of Dragon King, known as ’Fire Dragon King.’"
"The other came from ancient tribes in Japan, named ’Yichuan,’ spent five hundred and thirty-four years acquiring the lineage of the mythical creature Feng, known as the ’Wind Dragon King.’
Within the Dragon Ship, Ji Mengjun narrated.
"The siege of the Fire Hell Plain was primarily led by these three, launching a surprise attack on the White Dragon King’s forces."
"Apart from the White Dragon King, which are the other three Dragon Kings from our dynasty?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Golden Dragon King Yang Xiongying, Li Longwang Gao Feng, Ice Dragon King Ji Cheng."
Zhao Xing nodded.
It wasn’t easy for members of the Human Clan to obtain the position of Dragon King after entering; the sequential tasks weren’t easy to complete.
Of course, the actual time wasn’t as exaggerated as Ji Mengjun claimed.
The Dragon Court opened for approximately 15 to 20 years; she calculated from the moment they started these series of trials, while external time was merely for preparation.
The Sect World wasn’t qualified for such opportunities; gaining a Dragon King position required the collective effort of a whole nation, consuming enormous human, material, and financial resources. How could sects qualify?
"Hearing ’ten thousand high-grade mixed battles’ might sound exaggerated, but in reality, it was just these three Dragon Kings utilizing their authority to mobilize Dragon Clan Lords from various places. The actual ’people’ involved were few."
Zhao Xing had Yin Xiu with him, plus 548 Dragon Clan Lords!
Excluding Dragon Kings of the Human Clan, the Fire Hell Plain saw no participation of pure-blooded Dragon Kings.
However, looking at the latest intelligence, Zhao Xing had several questions.
Why had Golden Dragon King Yang Xiongying not entered in half a year?
Why was Bai Yunwu trapped, with only the two Human Clan Dragon Kings Gao Feng and Ji Cheng going for rescue?
"Though they seized the initiative, why does the intelligence seem to play out as an evenly matched battle?"
Information transmission in the Dragon Court Ancient Land was somewhat slow and didn’t match the comprehensive level of battles in the Great Zhou army, as this was the Dragon Court, involving two systems.
"I remember from previous life archives, Great Zhou’s final count of lost strong individuals was six to four."
