In the grand mountain of the Ten Thousand Monster Royal Court in Manzhou, roars echoed.
Shouts of "Dragon Emperor might! Dragon Emperor invincible!" resounded. The entire mountain was filled with various monstrous beasts. However, their strength was mostly at the Emperor level, with few strong individuals. There was only one Heavenly level expert, the Dragon Horse, standing at the peak of the mountain, gazing at the sky.
At this moment, the Dragon Horse's eyes were filled with a sense of invincible loneliness.
"Roar! Though I am already a Heavenly level expert, and no one in the Nine Provinces world dares to provoke me, do you know? I am very lonely," the Dragon Horse roared.
"Having no rivals is also a sin!"
Currently, the Dragon Horse was an anomaly in the Nine Provinces. Due to Li Xiaotian, no creature in the Nine Provinces world dared to provoke it. Wherever it went, it was treated as an honored guest. This left it feeling quite helpless.
In the past, it was cowardly and knew only how to flee from danger. But now, it hadn't become much bolder, yet it no longer encountered danger. Its extreme speed had instead become a skill for traveling. Hence, it was bored and lonely.
So, it returned to Manzhou, gathered a group of monstrous beasts, established the Dragon God Hall, declared itself the Dragon Emperor, and enjoyed the feeling of being a lord of a territory. Of course, there were no enemies.
Normally, it would lead tens of thousands of monstrous beasts to catch some ill-behaved ones, just to show off. As a leader, it naturally had to have something to do.
"Buzz!"
Just as the Dragon Horse was about to brag to its tens of thousands of followers about its past achievements, the sky suddenly tore open, and a colossal hand covering the heavens extended from the void.
Instantly, all the monstrous beasts on the mountain were crushed to the ground by a terrifying oppressive aura. Their bodies trembled, filled with fear. The Dragon Horse was petrified on the spot. Instinctively, it wanted to use its extreme speed to escape, but the powerful aura rendered it unable to move.
"Having fun lately? It's time for a rare beast like you to contribute to the Nine Provinces." Li Xiaotian's voice echoed. Then, the giant hand grabbed the Dragon Horse and took it away.
On the mountain, the many monstrous beasts shivered.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In a flash, several figures appeared in the sky. They were Heavenly level experts from the Ten Thousand Monster Royal Court.
"Lord Li's aura!" Empress Tianxiang said, feeling relieved. She had been startled just moments ago, fearing the Dragon Horse was in danger. After all, it was known to everyone that the Dragon Horse was Li Xiaotian's mount, and no one dared to attack it. Now, sensing Li Xiaotian's aura, she was at ease.
"Disperse, everyone. Return to your respective tribes. You've worked hard during this period, accompanying this horse in its foolish games," Tianxiang said to the tens of thousands of monstrous beasts on the mountain.
Indeed, the tens of thousands of monstrous beasts on the mountain were deliberately arranged by the Ten Thousand Monster Royal Court. The Dragon Horse thought it was its charm that attracted tens of thousands of followers. In reality, this was all the Empress's secret maneuver, deliberately cooperating with this foolish horse for amusement. Otherwise, even knowing the Dragon Horse was Li Xiaotian's mount, so many monstrous beasts wouldn't have followed. After all, with the current abundance of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth, all living beings were trying their best to improve themselves. These monstrous beasts accompanying the Dragon Horse in its antics wasted a lot of time.
Above the Nine Provinces War Zone, the Dragon Horse was pulled out of the spatial rift by Li Xiaotian and thrown to the ground.
"You've been living quite a carefree life recently," Li Xiaotian said, looking at the Dragon Horse.
"Roar!" The Dragon Horse let out a low growl. It glanced at Li Xiaotian, wanting to retort immediately, but considering the other's current strength, it ultimately held back. An invincible expert. Even though it was his mount, it could no longer be as presumptuous as before.
"Tsk tsk, you've become much more obedient. You have more foresight than before," Li Xiaotian said with a raised eyebrow, having seen through the Dragon Horse's thoughts at a glance.
"Swallow it," Li Xiaotian said, pointing at the corpse of the Greedy Crocodile Venerable.
"Roar! What did you say? You want me to swallow it? Really?!" The Dragon Horse was shocked. Looking at the corpse of the Greedy Crocodile Venerable, which was countless times larger than itself, it was stunned. Then, its eyes gleamed, and without thinking, it pounced forward and bit down.
"Crack!" With a loud sound, a large portion of the Dragon Horse's teeth shattered.
"Aowuu!" The Dragon Horse cried out in pain, rolling on the ground. Li Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head. This guy was still as foolish as ever. The Greedy Crocodile Venerable before them was an invincible tier three expert. Even though it was just a corpse, its physical body was incredibly strong. Those below the invincible level couldn't damage its corpse. The Dragon Horse, a mere early Heavenly level, bit down without thinking. It was fortunate that it hadn't broken all its teeth.
