Chapter 366: Chapter 232: Drawing the Dragon with a Single Sword_2

As one approaches within a hundred miles of Cloud Dragon Desolate City, a rugged Stone City appears on the horizon.

This Stone City does not look particularly large, but above it, within the clouds, coils a massive White Dragon.

Judging by its size, this White Dragon is probably over ten thousand meters long, not the slightest bit inferior to the ostrich-like Wild Wolf Giant Beast that Li Qian encountered.

It may even be a bit more powerful.

With such a terrifying giant beast lording over Cloud Dragon Desolate City, it’s no wonder that no Wild Beasts dare to offend it.

Only a powerful Wild Beast can deter and withstand the attacks of other Wild Beasts.

"Tsk tsk, is this the ever aloft Cloud Dragon?"

Li Qian reveals a hint of a smile.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, this Cloud Dragon is extremely brutal. Previously, a giant beast from a Barbarian Tribe merely roared at it and was instantly swallowed whole. Even the chief of the Cloud Dragon Tribe might not be able to completely control it. It is said that this Cloud Dragon is already with dragon offspring and is about to give birth," said Chi Yue Venerable Sage.

"Dragon offspring?"

Li Qian shows a surprised expression.

How high would the talent of a dragon offspring born to such a powerful Cloud Dragon be?

If he could cultivate it into an incarnation, that seems pretty good.

Cultivating an incarnation definitely starts with the juvenile; as for the adult... at most it could only count as a Blood Puppet, with basically no potential for growth.

Li Qian stands on the platform outside of the palace, eying that colossal Cloud Dragon. Under his gaze, the entire outline of the Cloud Dragon comes into his senses.

This Cloud Dragon is very similar to the legendary dragons in myths of the past.

Of course, that’s just a similarity.

It has dragon claws, dragon scales, dragon horns, albeit a single horn, and also lacks features like dragon whiskers...

Overall, it looks more like a Jiao type of dragon.

But indeed, its size is truly enormous.

As the Wild Wolf Giant Beast approaches Cloud Dragon Desolate City, everyone from the Azure Wolf Tribe, including Chi Yue Venerable Sage and Fu Ling, is extremely tense.

This is the heartland of the Cloud Dragon Tribe.

A place where numerous Barbarian Tribes gather.

Prior to this, the Azure Wolf Tribe was constantly being pursued and hunted.

Now, this is simply walking into a trap.

However, the Barbarian Tribes value their reputation, and even if the Azure Wolf Tribe might face extinction... Chi Yue Venerable Sage would not break his promise.

If it weren’t for the intervention of Daoist Qian Yuan, the Azure Wolf Tribe would have already been exterminated by the two surrounding Barbarian Clans.

Suddenly.

The massive Cloud Dragon in the clouds twists and turns, stretching out a huge dragon head from within the clouds, its fierce and tyrannical gaze directed towards the Wild Wolf Giant Beast.

The Wild Wolf Giant Beast suddenly halts, its body trembling slightly, yet it also issues an angry howl, unwilling to show weakness.

This surprises many from the surrounding Barbarian Clans.

Who doesn’t know that the birth of the Cloud Dragon’s offspring is imminent? At this moment, the Wild Wolf Giant Beast actually dares to provoke the Cloud Dragon. Isn’t this seeking death?

What puzzles them even more is that the chief of the Cloud Dragon Tribe has issued a killing order against the Azure Wolf Tribe; all Barbarian Tribes in the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory must not spare the Azure Wolf Tribe. Yet now, the Azure Wolf Tribe has brazenly arrived at Cloud Dragon Desolate City.

Roar!

The terrifying Cloud Dragon winds its way, its frenzied aura pervading; winds howl and clouds surge as all the giant beasts begin to shudder.

This is the oppressive feeling emanating from a top-tier Wild Beast.

Suddenly, a fearsome dragon claw violently emerges from the clouds, lashing out fiercely at the Wild Wolf Giant Beast.

Chi Yue Venerable Sage, Fu Ling, and the others from the Azure Wolf Tribe turn ashen.

Because the dragon’s might is too terrifying.

But at this moment, Li Qian stretches out his hand and lightly waves it.

Immediately, a Sword Qi pierces the sky, gathering the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and a sword that spans the heavens materializes and strikes fiercely, smacking directly on the Cloud Dragon’s head.

Boom!

Amidst the trembling void, the Cloud Dragon’s solitary horn snaps off, and its colossal body plummets from the sky, crashing onto Stone City.

The land trembles, and Stone City shatters.

Yun Long lets out a mournful cry, its enormous body struggling to roll over, seemingly in great pain.

This horrific scene stuns all the Barbarian Tribes near Cloud Dragon Desolate City.

What have they witnessed?

The formidable Cloud Dragon... was actually brought down from the sky by a beam of Sword Qi unleashed from the Wild Wolf Giant Beast. It couldn’t even fly and appeared to be seriously injured.

Cloud Dragons, proud by nature, never touch the ground.

But now it has been live struck down from the clouds by a swordsman.

The person atop the Wild Wolf Giant Beast is perhaps too terrifying, aren’t they?

At this moment, attached to the body of the Cloud Dragon, the tribal chief of the Cloud Dragon Tribe felt the weakness of the Cloud Dragon, and his will was almost dispersed by that sword strike.

"How can a small Azure Wolf Tribe have such a powerful existence? This kind of power, it is simply not something a Supreme Saint could possess, could it be...."

As the Barbarian Saint at the pinnacle of the Barbaric Land, already having achieved the Nine-step Reversion, the tribal chief immediately sensed the power of this sword strike; it was definitely not within the capabilities of a Supreme Saint.

Longevity Secret Realm!

His heart trembled.

Although he was a Nine-step Void Returning Saint, in comparison to the Longevity Secret Realm, he was far inferior.

As long as one does not achieve the Longevity Secret Realm, even if one becomes a Ten Steps Returning Void or an Eleventh-step Void Returning, they’re still not a match for the former.

These are two levels that are as different as heaven is from earth.

"How can Daoist Qian Yuan be so strong?"

Chi Yue Venerable Sage and Fu Ling, perched atop the Wild Wolf Giant Beast, were completely stunned by the sight.

What did they see?

The powerful Cloud Dragon was actually pulled down from the clouds by a single sword strike, falling to the ground.

This was the Cloud Dragon.

The top Wild Beast of the Barbaric Land.

Without the existence of the Longevity not emerging, there was almost nothing that could threaten such a level of Wild Beast.

Suddenly, the two exchanged glances and thought of a possibility, this Daoist Qian Yuan... might have already become an existence of the Longevity Secret Realm.

No wonder Daoist Qian Yuan had earlier asked her if she wanted to become the co-ruler of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory?

For a transcendent Longevity Secret Realm powerhouse to push her to the position of the co-ruler of the Cloud Dragon Northern Territory, it would definitely be effortless.

Swoosh!

Li Qian flew out from atop the Wild Wolf Giant Beast, arriving in the Cloud Dragon Desolate City, where he could see at the very back of Stone City a Black Stone Hall standing tall.

Under his Spiritual Sense, the entire Black Stone Hall was sealed off by an invisible force.

"Finally found it."

A smile appeared on Li Qian’s face.

He directly ignored the Cloud Dragon that was still struggling in agony below. The reason he didn’t slay it with one sword was naturally because he coveted the dragon seed inside this Cloud Dragon.

So it did no harm to spare it.

Before long, Li Qian arrived above the Black Stone Hall.

"Daoist friend, long time no see."

Li Qian said as he swung out his sword.

Accompanied by a roaring sound, the entire Black Stone Hall collapsed, revealing the inside, where a crystal container was placed.

Curled up inside was a humanoid Alien Species.

Suddenly, this humanoid Alien Species opened its eyes and stared intently at Li Qian through the crystal container.

"It’s impossible, how could you possibly break through to the Longevity Secret Realm?"

Its voice was filled with astonishment.

It’s only been a little more than twenty years since last time.

How could one breakthrough to the Longevity Secret Realm in that land where the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was so sparse?

Even in this Barbaric Land, it was equally impossible to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm.

This world is not the Longevity Realm; it has experienced a great destruction, and the difficulty of breaking through to the Longevity Secret Realm is immense, much greater than that of Returning to Void Ten Steps.

Therefore, the best way for beings of this realm who truly want to break through to the Longevity Secret Realm is to reach Returning to Void Ten Steps first, go to the Longevity Realm, and then figure out how to break through.

"Hehe, that’s simple, isn’t it? First, achieve the Returning to Void Ten Steps, then go to the Longevity Realm to breakthrough, right?"

Li Qian said with a light laugh, "Speaking of which, I should thank you for pointing out the direction for me back then."

"What, you’ve been to the Longevity Realm? Wait, if you’ve gone to the Longevity Realm, how could you come back? Impossible, how can you still come back..."

The creature inside the crystal container showed an expression of panic.

Going to the Longevity Realm after reaching Returning to Void Ten Steps was easy...

But once someone enters the Longevity Realm, coming back becomes difficult.

After all, the portals to this realm are controlled by top powers such as the Eternal Dynasty, Golden Demon Court, Great Moon Empire of the Longevity Realm.

Moreover, each use comes with a great cost.

Only those with enough worth are qualified to use it.

At this moment, the creature inside the crystal container was completely panicked.

If this human used the portal to return... wouldn’t that mean the secret of its existence in this realm could very well be exposed?
