Dragon Tamer

Chapter 617: Chapter 619: The Continent of Ruins
 

“`

Not long ago, I exorcised nine pieces of scum from your ranks, and slaughtering them was unprecedentedly satisfying, as if I were performing acts of kindness.

“What I cultivate is the Desire of Possession, what belongs to me, whether it’s a fallen petal in my courtyard, or the Hongtian Peak that I will inherit, if anyone dares to snatch it, I will tear them to pieces.”

“And the things I take interest in must also be obtained, otherwise, they will plant a Heart Demon within me. To remove this Heart Demon, I will stop at nothing.”

This Little Emperor leisurely lectured Zhu Minglang, speaking as if discussing the weather, yet his words were rife with threats and intimidation.

The Desire of Possession, everything one craves must be achieved lest it becomes a Heart Demon.

His meaning was quite clear.

Mi Rong was one such object of his desire, and Zhu Minglang, this inexplicably emerging individual, had best not become an obstacle to him.

“Last night, you rested on my right shoulder and slept, and my arm is still a bit numb. The Bone Temple is such a desolate place, not even a proper inn to be found,” Zhu Minglang said, feigning ignorance, and turning to speak to Mi Rong beside him.

Mi Rong’s face flushed red in an instant.

The sleeping conditions last night were indeed rudimentary; they leaned against a temple wall to rest. Initially, there was a small distance between them, but as they fell into a deep sleep, it was inevitable to seek out the warmth next to them, inadvertently resting on the shoulder of the God-selected Big Brother.

Actually, she didn’t lean on him for long, and it was just her head that accidentally tilted over.

However, to others, these words sounded exceedingly intimate, especially to the Little Emperor.

He had just elegantly and arrogantly shared his method of cultivation with Zhu Minglang, explicitly telling him that Mi Rong was his private property, only for Zhu Minglang to disrupt his composure in public!!

“Let’s focus on the important matters,” Mi Zhongyun once again stepped out awkwardly, trying to mediate between the two, who nearly came to blows upon meeting.

The Little Emperor’s cultivation wasn’t rooted in the seven emotions and six desires, but solely in control and possession. His expression was complicated at this moment. Had it not been for the presence of this group from Xuange Divine Country, he might have already erupted.

Swallowing his anger, the Little Emperor’s eyes underwent a significant shift.

This Heart Demon was planted instantly, and it took root and sprouted aggressively.

“A nobody who’s ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth,” Little Emperor Yang Ji gave Zhu Minglang a sidelong glance, already choosing a manner of death for him in his heart!

…

Following the guidance of Mi Rong, the Star Observing Master, the people from Xuange Divine Country and those from Hongtian Peak made their way toward the fragmented area where the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent had fallen.

Along the way, Zhu Minglang saw many different people, all striving to set foot within the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

All for God’s grace.

In the Tian shu God Domain, such grace is rare and precious. Even those from the Upper Realm struggled to obtain it, and yet it existed in the Lower Realm; how could they be worthy of it?

News that came out indicated that the overall cultivation base of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent was far below that of the Tian shu God Domain. Zhu Minglang also learned through some inquiries that the people of Tian shu God Domain were not entirely unaware of the Supreme Court.

“It must be those powers who foresaw the arrival of the Supreme Court, sending people like Mingji and the one-armed man with the surname Bai to traverse to the Supreme Court in advance, gathering information for the Tian shu God Domain,” Zhu Minglang thought to himself.

There are spies in the war between two nations, and apparently the same exists between two continents.

The question is, how did these people manage to arrive in advance? Could it be the same way I fell into the Void Vortex?

“`

There must be some sort of pattern to it.

Around the Supreme Court, numerous powers from the Tian Shu God Domain are scattered, among which are mighty entities like the Xuange Divine Country, Hongtian Peak, and the God Clan. Despite the grace being limited, the resources that can be plundered within a continent are quite considerable, so their pursuit is not solely for the sake of grace.

This Nothingness Fog will exist for at most one or two months, and during this period, people will continuously find ways to intrude. Supreme Court is in a perilous situation.

“Which deity does this Hongtian Peak belong to?” Zhu Minglang asked Mi Rong, the knowledgeable companion beside him.

“They are from the Flaunting Heavenly Capital and worship the deity named ‘Flaunting.’ The capital is made up of Nine Sky Peaks, and each peak has its own Peak Emperor,” Mi Rong explained to Zhu Minglang.

The deity “Flaunting”?

Zhu Minglang greatly admired the naming of this deity, which reminded him of himself when he was full of triumph.

“This person is known as the Little Emperor, which means he is a young regent of one of the peaks, right?” Zhu Minglang said.

Mi Rong nodded and, after a moment of consideration, realizing that Zhu Minglang might have completely forgotten about the Tianchen deity system, added:

“The North Dipper Seven Star God is the most shining deity we can see in this expanse of the sky world. There were actually nine stars in the North Dipper at an earlier time. Both our Xuange God and their Flaunting God are among the North Dipper Star Gods, known as the North Dipper Nine Stars. However, for various reasons, both Xuange God and Flaunting God’s brilliance have dimmed, and Star Continent has bordered with Tianshu…”

So, Xuange God and Flaunting God are the two strongest deities in this world besides the Seven Stars.

It turns out Mi Rong has quite a background.

No wonder those from the Xuange Divine Country didn’t hesitate to beat up Shang Zhuang from the Sparrow Wolf Divine City; Shang Zhuang didn’t even dare to fight back. Initially, it was thought that it was because his status was a tier lower, but it turns out the Xuange God’s status is among the top nine.

Of course, the members under Flaunting God’s Nine Sky Peaks are also quite renowned within the Tian Shu God Domain, not inferior to the Supreme Court’s Four Great Sect Woods and Six Great Clan Doors.

The nine people from Black Heaven Peak whom I slew were not just some minor characters in the Tian Shu God Domain.

No wonder the nine from Black Heaven Peak were so rampant and filled with contempt for the Supreme Court.

While they were conversing, the two groups suddenly came to a halt.

It turns out a huge basin had appeared amidst the fragmented land ahead.

This basin was not originally there; it had formed recently. The earth had torn apart, rock layers shattered, rivers redirected, and forests buried underground…

It must have been a terrifying Star Fall. The Star Fall itself didn’t cool down like the Void Sea, so it burned to ash, leaving the traces of its impact on the land.

“There are people ahead,” the Little Emperor Yang Ji from Hongtian Peak said.

Relying on their not insignificant strength, they didn’t hide but headed straight towards that group of people.

These people were dressed in armor that had been burned, and they all had obvious signs of having been scorched, like they had been through a baptism of Hellfire, struggling to crawl out from Ghost Gate.

They approached a chaotic stream and, frantic, soaked themselves in the cold river water gushing from an underground river…

Zhu Minglang watched these people, frowning.

Could they be from the Holy Quel Continent?

The tragic continent whose spine of the Veins of the Earth was crushed underfoot by Hua Chou Star God, their world shattered during the fall, breaking the continent into numerous meteor fragments that fell in different places within the God Territory.
