Chapter 695 - 6: Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth, the Battle Between Dragon and Qilin

Chapter 695: Chapter 6: Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth, the Battle Between Dragon and Qilin

At the same time, within a certain whirlpool deep in the East Sea.

A small serpent, entirely cyan, drilled out from the whirlpool, arcs of lightning constantly crackling off its body.

"The Primordial Qi of this era really is violent..."

"And this appearance of mine now—am I just a freshly hatched little snake?"

Reveling and swimming freely within the vortex, the cyan little serpent slowly opened its eyes, truly seeing the appearance of this world for the first time.

This little snake was no one else—it was Divine Monarch Mengzhang, who had likewise returned by tracing time backwards.

Only this Divine Monarch Mengzhang was not the same as that Divine Monarch Mengzhang; he did not come from Li Boyang’s era.

Or more precisely, this Divine Monarch Mengzhang came from tens of thousands of years after Li Boyang’s disappearance, a supreme powerhouse who suppressed his entire age in the truest sense.

In the era of this Divine Monarch Mengzhang, the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth had already gathered, and the ancient great Gods had all withdrawn from the stage.

Only Divine Monarch Mengzhang, as the leader of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth, shouldered the burden, becoming the firmest guardian of Heaven and Earth’s order in that era.

So, upon sensing the turmoil of the River of Time and the chaos of these eight hundred years, Divine Monarch Mengzhang had practically gathered the power of the Four Spirits to forcibly traverse and trace back along the River of Time.

On this trip, he did not harbor extravagant hopes of proving the Dao in this era, thereby rewriting his own origin.

Because to Divine Monarch Mengzhang, the identity of one of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth, the Eastern Cyan Dragon, and Master of Constellations was already an origin that countless Pathfinders could never reach.

"I wonder if the other three have managed to arrive in this era?"

After confirming that he had indeed come to this chaotic era, Divine Monarch Mengzhang began to worry about his three companions.

He was late by three hundred years; if he wanted to catch up in a short time to those Pathfinders who had long since descended, both talent and effort had to be absolutely outstanding.

Right now he could only pray that the Vermilion Bird, Xuan Wu, and White Tiger arrived a bit earlier than he did.

Boom!

Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the long sky, striking straight toward the whirlpool.

Divine Monarch Mengzhang didn’t even have time to react; in an instant he was driven back down into the depths of the sea.

Whoosh!

Dark clouds appeared out of thin air, mixed with raging winds that whipped the ocean.

A wild beast God, pitch-black from head to toe, stepped through the air, black-ink clouds rolling beneath its feet.

That beast God had a dragon’s head, a deer’s body, a horse’s hooves, and the fluffy tail behind it stood straight like a steel whip.

"Cyan Dragon, stop playing dead. I know that little trick just now couldn’t possibly hurt you!"

A sonorous voice boomed from the sky down into the ocean; the beast God’s eyes bulged like copper bells, and the ink-flames spouting from its mouth and nose radiated a terrifying heat.

"Ink Qilin, you again?"

As if in response to the Ink Qilin, Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s head once more surfaced from the whirlpool.

Only this time, after absorbing the power of that lightning bolt just now, two horns had sprouted atop Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s head.

"Just who the hell are you supposed to be?"

"Why do you keep relentlessly chasing after me?"

The puzzlement in Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s eyes wasn’t an act.

He genuinely didn’t know what the Ink Qilin had taken, to keep crossing time and space to hunt down his incarnations.

No matter what era he descended into, this Ink Qilin would appear one after another, then challenge him repeatedly, even kill him.

Yet, in Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s impression, he had never offended any such Pathfinders, let alone done something so extreme that the other party would chase him across time itself to kill him.

"Because I am the true beast king, the Lord of the Earth!"

"You flaunt yourself under the title of ’Master of Scale Armor’ and arbitrarily exclude me from the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth—that, to me, is the greatest provocation!"

Glowering viciously at Divine Monarch Mengzhang, the Ink Qilin’s voice remained sonorous and overbearing.

Yet for some reason, Divine Monarch Mengzhang seemed to hear a trace of resentment hidden within that sonorous, overbearing voice.

It was the resentment of someone who clearly regarded the other as his lifelong nemesis, yet the other party didn’t take him seriously at all.

"I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll give you five hundred years to grow!"

"But during these five hundred years, I’ll be watching you the whole time, right until you’re qualified to fight me!"

With his mouth hanging agape in astonishment, Divine Monarch Mengzhang faintly began to understand why the Ink Qilin had appeared here.

"You blockhead, don’t tell me you really don’t know anything?"

Seeing the Ink Qilin’s somewhat dazed look, Divine Monarch Mengzhang now confirmed his guess.

"You’re being used as someone’s weapon!"

"Do you know why I came to this era?"

"Because this era has fallen into turmoil—Emperor Hao seems intent on proving the Dao in this era."

"Without His oversight and suppression, countless Pathfinders from the past and future have all appeared here. This is an age of great contention, second only to the Tao Ancestor manifesting in the world."

"So long as you can successfully prove the Dao in this era..."

"No matter in what identity, your anchor point will become incomparably solid. You will no longer need to worry about others disrupting past history, thereby causing your future self to vanish."

Hearing this, the Ink Qilin finally reacted.

Yet, contrary to Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s expectations, even though the Ink Qilin now understood the turmoil unfolding in this spacetime, he still stubbornly locked his gaze on the other.

"I don’t care. My target is only you."

"So long as I can defeat you, what does proving the Dao even matter?"

A feral arc tugged at the corner of his mouth; in that instant, the Ink Qilin’s eyes became abnormally fervent.

"No—precisely because of this, I have all the more reason to defeat you!"

"At the very least, in this era, we’re standing on a completely fair footing."

"This time you’ll have no reinforcements, and I’ll be going all out!"

The Ink Qilin had lost to Divine Monarch Mengzhang countless times, but each time he refused to accept defeat.

Because in every past battle, Divine Monarch Mengzhang basically had many friends lending their strength.

By contrast, the Ink Qilin had always fought alone from start to finish—how could he possibly be convinced by that?

"..."

Staring speechlessly at the Ink Qilin, Divine Monarch Mengzhang, for once, let a trace of irritation show.

The next instant, Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s body soared into the air; the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around him solidified into a vortex, pouring into his body like a whale swallowing the sea.

"To beat a fool like you, why would I need to wait another five hundred years!"

Before the words had finished, a phantom of a cyan dragon appeared behind Divine Monarch Mengzhang, forming a stark contrast to his current juvenile form.

Boom!

In a flash, the surging waves, together with that vast pounding Primordial Qi, shook the surroundings in all directions.

He had never expected that the Divine Monarch Mengzhang of this era could also call down the blessing of Heaven and Earth’s star power; caught unprepared, the Ink Qilin was blasted thousands of li backward.

In an instant, the originally gloomy sky turned completely dark.

The stars that should only appear at night now shone brightly in broad daylight, especially the cyan dragon image formed by the seven stars of the Eastern constellation, which blazed dazzlingly with resplendent light.

No matter where they were, everyone could clearly see the scene of that cyan dragon bowing its head and roaring.
