Chapter 320: Chapter 275 This is Not the Era of the Dragon Race

Ao Lie suddenly summoned a golden cloud, which blocked the Ancestral Dragon’s bloodline suppression. This scene shocked and puzzled the beings of the Three Realms; after all, bloodline suppression was supposed to be an unsolvable constraint for a clan with hierarchical bloodlines like the Dragon Race.

The gazes of the various strong powers fell upon the golden cloud, filled with Hao Ran’s righteousness, and they sensed a familiar aura.

Especially the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, he was full of surprise and doubt. How could that golden cloud resemble the Celestial Congratulatory Clouds so closely?

The Celestial Congratulatory Clouds were formed from the Hao Ran righteousness in Pan Gu’s heart, originally Hong Jun the Dao Ancestor’s personal protective Spiritual Treasure, and later bestowed upon his master Yuan Shi for protection.

Over a hundred years ago, he had been tasked by his master to bring order to the newly ascendant Han dynasty in South Shanbu Continent. Before he left, he temporarily received this Spiritual Treasure from his master.

Logically speaking, the Celestial Congratulatory Clouds should be one of a kind, and they were currently in his hands. How did Ao Lie have one too?

Could it be that Sun Wukong was skilled in imitating artifacts?

That thought inevitably arose in the Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s mind.

For instance, another artifact of Ao Lie, the Ocean-Calming Divine Pearl, was extremely similar to the Seal of Flipping Heaven, and its power was not much inferior.

There was also the Spirit Tablet that Sun Wukong had once presented, which emitted an aura nearly identical to the Seal of Flipping Heaven. If not for the different forms of the two treasures, one could easily be mistaken for the other!

Now there was a golden cloud that appeared quite like the Celestial Congratulatory Clouds.

Not only was the Southern Extremity Longevity Star puzzled, but the other powers were as well, and they were even more amazed at the abundance of Sun Wukong’s treasures.

Clearly, this artifact resembling a golden cloud had been bestowed upon Ao Lie by Sun Wukong.

Many powers started to doubt whether Sun Wukong really had a Saint behind him, as even a Saint would not have so many supreme Spiritual Treasures and treasures to give away.

Take, for example, the generals of the Han dynasty led by Lu Bu, as well as Ne Zha, Yang Jian, and the Demon King—overnight, the Spiritual Treasures in their hands had turned into top-notch Innate Spiritual Treasures.

And more than a dozen top-notch Innate Spiritual Treasures, since the beginning of the Vast Wilderness, in any era, would be enough to drive countless Great Luo powers and Quasi-Saints crazy with desire, and even make Saints envious.

Could it be that these were all crafted by Sun Wukong himself?

No one forgot that Sun Wukong was a top-notch master of Artifact Refining and had pioneered the Path of Spirit Guiding Instrument crafting.

However, all this time, the various powers had regarded Spirit Guiding Instruments as suitable for lower and middle-tier cultivators.

Because the refining of Spirit Guiding Instruments required materials that didn’t contain fragments of the Laws and could be mass-produced.

Yet creating a top-tier Spirit Guiding Instrument was difficult, even harder than traditional Path of Artifact Refining!

This required not only high Artifact Refining prowess but also an understanding of Formations, to be able to refine materials lacking Law fragments into Spirit Guiding Instruments as powerful as Spiritual Treasures.

How many masters of Formations were there in the whole Three Realms? And among them, how many were masters of the Path of Artifact Refining?

In contrast, traditional Artifact Refining used materials embedded with fragments of the Laws, which eliminated the need to consider things like formation mastery and made crafting Spiritual Treasures much easier.

This was why many powers in the Three Realms had such an outlook on Spirit Guiding Instruments, so no one believed it possible to refine top-notch Innate Spiritual Treasures or even Innate Spiritual Treasures of the supreme category.

Now, as those powers saw the golden cloud summoned by Ao Lie, resembling the Celestial Congratulatory Clouds, in addition to the top-notch Innate Spiritual Treasures possessed by the Han side,

many were coming to realize that Sun Wukong was indeed capable of crafting such formidable treasures using the method of Spirit Guiding Instruments, and on a large scale at that!

But at the moment, with no time to be astonished or to ponder, their gazes passed across the vast emptiness to the center of the Four Seas, where the great battle between the Ancestral Dragon and Ao Lie had begun.

This was a battle between the bloodline ancestor of the Dragon Race and the only True Dragon in the Three Realms.

...

At the center of the Four Seas.

"What kind of treasure is this?" the Ancestral Dragon’s face was filled with disbelief. He couldn’t understand how Ao Lie could fend off bloodline suppression with just one artifact.

Immediately after, his eyes were filled with greed. This was an extremely rare Innate defensive supreme treasure.

Ao Lie, seeing the Ancestral Dragon’s greed, said solemnly, "This treasure represents Hao Ran’s righteousness. You are not worthy of using it."

The Ancestral Dragon scoffed: "Ignorant brat, you don’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth. Today, I’ll let you know what a real Quasi-Saint is!"

Without any nonsense, the enormous body of the Ancestral Dragon roared and pounced toward Ao Lie.

If suppression through bloodline was not possible, then he would crush him with pure strength. He wanted to make Ao Lie realize how laughable it was to rely on luck and the power of virtue for strength!

As the once-dominant ruler of the Vast Wilderness, the Ancestral Dragon had both the strength and confidence for this.

Though Ao Lie’s True Dragon form was much smaller than the Ancestral Dragon’s, he showed no fear whatsoever.

Shielded by Hao Ran’s righteousness and wielding the Ocean-Calming Divine Pearl, he emitted golden auspicious clouds and five-colored beams. With a flick of his dragon tail, he tangled with the Ancestral Dragon.

Boom!

One at the peak of Quasi-Sainthood, the other at the advanced stage of Quasi-Sainthood; the instant the two giant dragons collided, a terrifying momentum erupted, sweeping across the entire Three Realms.

To witness such a scene, all observers could not help but be filled with amazement. This was the first time in a long span of the Dragon Race’s decline that it had attracted the gaze of the entire world.

In the vast expanse above the sea, the two dragons battled ferociously, integrating physical might, Primordial Spirits, treasures, and Divine Skills in continuous collisions.

Contrary to expectations, the scene where the Ancestral Dragon dominated Ao Lie never materialized.

Although Ao Lie was only at the advanced stage of Quasi-Sainthood, he was able to give tit for tat against the Ancestral Dragon, who was at the peak of Quasi-Sainthood.

Inside the Five-Starred Red Flag, Yun Zhongzi expressed his surprise: "With an Innate supreme treasure for protection, one can stand invincible. But to actually fight on equal footing, that means one’s own strength is indeed not weak!"
