Chapter 437: I Am the Bringer of World's End!
The palace of the Dragon Emperor, magnificent in its grandeur and awe-inspiring. However, compared to the lively scene from Lu Heng's memories, it now appears considerably desolate.
This is not because Lu Heng's previous visit was during a banquet.
Instead, within this Dragon Emperor's palace, deliberate efforts were made to disperse the idle onlookers. Now, both inside and outside the hall, those who await are all the top cultivators among the Dragon Clan.
Every breath of the Dragon Clan carries a solemn and terrifying weight, surpassing mortal limits.
Such a grand formation can almost be considered as the gathering of elite members from the Dragon Clan.
Lu Heng, riding on a white cloud, gracefully descended in front of the Dragon Hall and was greeted by the arrival of the white dragon Bai Xing, who came to welcome him.
"Welcome, the Wolf God, We extend our respectful greetings," Bai Xing spoke with the same customary deference, "May I inquire if the Wolf God has important matters upon arrival? I can relay your message on behalf of the younger generation."
Lu Heng glanced at the heavily guarded palace in front of him and inquired, "Is Dragon Emperor not present in the hall at this moment?"
Bai Xing was momentarily stunned, looked at Lu Heng, hesitated for a while, and then spoke, "The Wolf God, please follow me."
After saying that, Bai Xing turned around and walked towards the hall.
Lu Heng followed behind him, feeling somewhat perplexed. Judging from the reaction of this white dragon, it seemed that the Dragon Emperor had not yet entered the secret realm?
Just that now the palace is heavily guarded, is it really safe for someone like me, an outsider, to go in?
After taking a few steps, Lu Heng said, "Brother Bai Xing, perhaps I should just turn back. I will seek an audience with the esteemed Dragon Emperor when she is available. In truth, I have no pressing matters to discuss."
Bai Xing then said, "Your Majesty has given instructions that if the Wolf God were to come, we are to bring you in directly without delay. If the Wolf God has anything to say, you may speak openly to Your Majesty."
After a brief contemplation, Lu Heng decided to remain silent.
The news that they are going to conduct an inspection of the affairs related to the River Map and the Luo Book on the Dragon Island is exclusive to the group of dragon elders on the Moon Dragon Terrace, as well as the Dragon Emperor herself. The other dragon species are unaware of this.
After all, considering the significance of the River Map and the Luo Book, it is necessary to prevent any leakage of information.
Since he now has the opportunity to directly face the Dragon Emperor and seek her guidance, there is no need for hesitation. he shall proceed inside and greet her with a direct inquiry.
Since he has already come, if he were to leave halfway, wouldn't it imply that Lu Heng is being evasive?
Following behind Bai Xing, Lu Heng traversed through numerous grand halls and pavilions, ultimately arriving at the depths of this dragon palace that floated amidst the clouds.
Before a mysterious towering gate concealed within the clouds.
Clad in white attire, Bai Xing respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, is waiting inside the gate for the arrival of the Wolf God."
Lu Heng nodded and, observing the grand white gate in front of him swing open, took a confident step forward through its threshold.
Instantly, a powerful sense of weightlessness surged up.
Lu Heng felt his body floating incessantly in a state of void, sensing the absence of any spatial orientation.
The sensation that only comes from traversing worlds left him slightly bewildered.
This… Could this grand gate possibly be a portal of teleportation? Yet, he didn't sense any trace of an otherworldly ambiance.
With his cultivation, if this gate truly leads to a parallel realm, he would undoubtedly be able to perceive it.
What peculiarities lie in the place where the Dragon Emperor resides?
In Lu Heng's heart, there was a profound perplexity. Eventually, he departed from that peculiar state of suspension and set foot on solid ground.
However, beneath his feet, what he stepped upon was not the real earth, but a surging galaxy.
The shimmering stars flowed and pursued within the river beneath his feet, sparkling and resplendent, creating a magnificent and enchanting sight.
In this beautiful and exquisite world, akin to a dream, not a speck of dust can be found. Amongst the drifting clouds and mist, countless glistening stars are softly veiled.
Lu Heng stood between heaven and earth, slightly perplexed.
"This… " he could clearly sense that this place was no longer the Celestial Desolation Realm!
The very gate that he passed through was indeed a portal that led to a parallel world!
A certain ominous premonition suddenly surged within Lu Heng's heart.
He swiftly turned around and looked around, but couldn't see an exit. Instead, among the flowing river of stars beside him, he caught sight of several glowing characters shimmering within the river's waters.
--Dragon Emperor Secret Realm.
Upon seeing these four characters, Lu Heng was rendered speechless.
He even evoked an urge to curse profanities.
What the hell… What's going on?
Unintentionally, I have inadvertently stumbled into the secret realm of the Dragon Clan?
Wasn't it supposed to be that only the Dragon Emperor could enter the Dragon Clan's secret realm? How could that guy named Bai Xing casually bring an outsider into the Dragon Emperor's secret realm like this… without any sense of propriety?
In the resplendent expanse of the starry galaxy, Lu Heng stood in silence for a long while. Just as he hesitated whether to seek Dragon Xiu Ya's advice for a way out, a distant roar of a ferocious beast echoed from the depths of the starry heavens.
"I am Asmodeus! The Destroyer of Worlds!"
"You dare to challenge me, mere ant!"
Amidst the terrifying roar, the entire starry world trembled violently. The primordial aura of ferocity and savagery instantaneously filled the space.
Lu Heng, who was situated within, unexpectedly experienced a chilling sensation.
That creature roaring from the depths of the starry galaxy is undoubtedly a pinnacle of ferocious and malevolent beings!
In the next moment, a deafening roar resounded, and another familiar aura, that of Lu Heng, reverberated within the starry world. Astonishingly, it was Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya.
In comparison to the fearsome aura that almost shook the entire galaxy, Dragon Emperor's power paled in comparison…
"You wretch! Insect! Maggot! How dare you challenge me!"
"I will make you understand what true cruelty is!"
Within the starry universe, the furious roar of malevolence shakes one's heart and soul.
Lu Heng transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the depths of the galaxy, unable to remain indifferent.
This Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya, evidently encountered an extremely formidable adversary!
As Lu Heng continued his journey deeper into the galaxy, the various scenes he encountered along the way became increasingly eerie.
Stretching tens of thousands of meters, the horrifying creature resembled a nightmarish beast, with half of its decaying body immersed in the dazzling starry river, akin to a small mountain range. Even in death, it still exuded a chilling aura.
A gigantic eyeball, covered in furry tentacles, equalling the size of a true planet, hovered in the sky, continuously oozing putrid blood from its immense gaping hole, signifying the extinction of life in this eerie presence.
And in the end, when Lu Heng had already been able to see the figures of the battling parties from afar, he was suddenly struck with astonishment and left speechless.
Within that dazzling galaxy, the multitude of stars shimmered and trembled, causing splashes of starry water to soar and stars themselves to scatter.
The massive silver dragon, spanning tens of thousands of meters, unleashed furious roars as it engaged in a frantic battle with an equally colossal and terrifying creature.
The creature was clad in a massive blood-red divine robe, with twisted gigantic horns protruding from its forehead. Its rough, crimson skin was branded with eerie and daunting inscriptions.
A pair of enormous wings spread out behind it. With each flap, it stirred up chilling gusts of wind capable of extinguishing the very essence of the soul.
This terrifying creature, astonishingly, is none other than…
"A devil?!"
Lu Heng, who hastily arrived at the battlefield, was directly struck with astonishment.
Being quite well-versed in the Celestial Desolation Realm, he had encountered a variety of beings. However, it was only now that he laid eyes upon such a mythical and legendary creature for the first time.
