Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1841

Chapter 1841: 1841

The Vermilion Bird utterly destroyed the rebels’ organization with its consciousness, leaving them in shambles after a few rushes . All the survivors could think about was how to flee from the valley . They cursed at themselves for having only two legs and not being able to run faster .

“Xiaolong, it’s your turn!” The bird cackled and called out for Long Xiaoxuan .

The dragon perked up and, with a whip of his body, brought up a great tornado of wind and cloud . An endless dragon roar pierced through the sky, the call differing greatly from the bird’s shriek .

The air around him converged and swept through the void like an infinite array of furious waves . This was a technique unique to the true dragons .

The sound roiled continuously and built upon itself, hammering upon every cultivator’s eardrums like cracks of thunder . It was inhumane torture to the rebels .

The roar assaulted their senses, consciousness, and organs with the intensity of a mallet and the weight of a boulder, the impact making minds explode and bodies burst .

Long Xiaoxuan had waited for a chance to stretch his muscles for a very long time . He was going to show off the fullest depths of his might! He whipped around the fringes of the valley like lightning, the roar enveloping the entire area .

The valley seemed trapped in an enormous drum, and the roars a furious drumming on the drum skin .

Shrieks rang through the air .

Long Xiaoxuan’s roar made Jiang Chen’s blood boil . He laughed and started roaring as well, his just as powerful since he’d assimilated the true dragon bloodline . The chain seal in his consciousness raised his mind to Long Xiaoxuan’s level .

It was as if another dragon had joined the fight . Their relentless roars madly pierced the clouds and sky .

Mountains and rivers trembled; the sun and the moon dimmed . Outside the valley, powerful gales brought dust and stones into the air and destroyed all vegetation .

If not for the cover the formation provided, even the spirit herb base within the valley and its cultivators would be caught in the impact .

As it was, they were still antsy in face of the great destruction . They shuddered to think what would happen without their protection .

Holy Girl Yu Ling stammered with shock, “Master, isn’t he - isn’t he human? Why can he roar like a dragon as well?”

Prime Puresmoke had guessed the human cultivator’s identity . “He must be the new genius Jiang Chen from the Eternal Sacred Land - the hero who saved them,” she murmured . “I didn’t expect him to be this young . ”

“Jiang Chen?” Holy Girl Yu Ling was befuddled . She’d never heard of such a young genius in Myriad Abyss . Where had he come from?

Puresmoke sighed softly . “You may not know the name Jiang Chen, Ling’er, but you must have heard of his other name . ”

“What is it?” the girl asked curiously .

“Shao Yuan . ”

“Shao Yuan? The pill dao genius from the Eternal Sacred Land? The one that defeated Master Shi Xuan from Flora Divine Nation and turned him into a pill slave?”

“That’s him,” the prime said pensively . “We only know him as a pill dao genius, but he is even more talented in martial dao . No wonder Xiahou Zong, the top genius of House Xiahou from Eternal, died at his hands in the sword competition . ”

“I did hear that,” Yu Ling said incredulously . “But there are a great number of experts in the Eternal Sacred Land . How can he alone be more impactful than all of them combined?”

“I had the same question . It’s said that the young man befriended a vermilion bird that can rival a god . Now it seems the tale is an understatement rather than an exaggeration . He’s accompanied by a true dragon as well! There has never been a genius like him throughout history . Is the Eternal Sacred Land going to rise up from now on?”

The prime gazed at the amazing phenomena brought about by the battle outside the valley, a trace of worry flashing through her eyes . She was more and more curious about the young man . She also envied the Eternal Sacred Land for stumbling upon such an unrivaled genius .

People like him appeared only once every ten thousand years, or even longer . And he’d ended up joining the Eternal Sacred Land! She heard that the young man had originally been recruited by House Yan from the Bluesmoke Isles . The Eternal Sacred Land had gotten ridiculously lucky .

“Master, is this Jiang Chen a descendent of the dragons?”

“He should be human, but he must have refined the true dragon bloodline and acquired many of their techniques . It’s amazing that his roar can match and resonate with a true dragon’s . That proves him to be a genius amongst geniuses . ”

Puresmoke was proud and her standards were high . Not many youths had been complimented by her, and none had ever received such high praise from her .

Holy Girl Yu Ling widened her eyes, gazing outside the valley with surprise .

“It seems the rebels have fallen apart already, master . Why don’t we charge out now?” She was itching for action .

“No!” Puresmoke exclaimed immediately . “The dragon roars are at their peak power . If we barge out now, we’ll only get hurt . ”

“Wouldn’t the reinforcements mock us for not even having the courage to go out and kill our enemies?” Yu Ling asked worriedly .

“Silly girl, what good can we do by going out? The rebels are now the losing side . Our effort isn’t necessary . Don’t worry . The base is no longer in danger . Nonetheless, it’s a different matter whether the Marital Sacred Land will be able to survive the war . ” The prime had greater vision .

As she’d said, the rebels were falling apart . The aides planned to flee during the chaos, but the Vermilion Bird had already marked them with its consciousness . It’d been withdrawn from the battle, but not indifferent to it .  

Right before the aides could escape the core battlefield, the bird attacked them with its consciousness, blocking their paths . The aides scurried around like headless chickens .

They weren’t weak . All of them were eighth level empyrean experts . It’d take even Jiang Chen and Long Xiaoxuan some time to kill them in a one-on-one fight .

However, their morale had hit rock bottom, which severely undermined their ability to fight . Jiang Chen and Long Xiaoxuan fought them like a well-oiled machine, taking out the aides one by one .

Without Forefather Goldenbell and the seven commanders, the rebels were directionless and helpless . If the aides had stuck together, Jiang Chen and Long Xiaoxuan wouldn’t have been able to kill them .  

However, they’d split up and fled in fear, which divided their strength and gave man and dragon a chance to pick them off .

The aides had been the rebels’ last hope . If they had calmed down and assumed control over the army, they wouldn’t be so easy to defeat no matter how powerful Jiang Chen and Long Xiaoxuan were . After all, there were tens of thousands of them .

Unfortunately, the aides had been scared witless by their commanders’ heads and lost their will to fight . As a result, this part of the rebellion fell apart .

Jiang Chen and the dragon quickly eliminated five of the seven aides . The remaining two were trapped by the Vermilion Bird, struggling to escape .

Jiang Chen roared and laughed . “Now you don’t have to envy Brother Vermilion or Little White, Brother Long . After devouring all seven of them, you’ll make great progress in cultivation . ”

Dragons were adept at devouring cultivators . The flesh and spirit energy of advanced empyrean cultivators were great supplements for them .

A human cultivator might end up exploding due to an overload of energy if they devoured others with no restraint, but true dragons had no such concerns . Long Xiaoxuan feasted on the cultivators without worry .

Jiang Chen could tell the dragon had greatly enjoyed the fight . He didn’t try to steal the dragon’s thunder, but instead assisted him in devouring the cultivators . Of course, the empyrean decrees left in their remains went to Jiang Chen . Each took what they needed .

Jiang Chen didn’t feel any guilt for killing so many empyrean cultivators . He felt no sympathy at all for them .

They were descendents of deserters from the ancient times . They hadn’t made any contributions to the human race, and had instead started a civil war, putting all lives in danger . These treacherous people deserved no sympathy no matter how he looked at it .

They hadn’t started the rebellion for the greater good, but for their own selfish desires .

The sixth, the seventh . . .

In less than half an hour, Jiang Chen and Long Xiaoxuan had defeated all seven of the aides . The dragon devoured their flesh and energy, while Jiang Chen gained a great wealth of empyrean decrees .

He suddenly felt that it wasn’t such a bad idea to come to Martial Divine Nation’s rescue . Even if the rewards the sacred land gave him ended up being limited, he’d gained an abundance of resources on the battlefield .

The empyrean decrees were exactly what the human domain needed .

These cultivators came from the lines of deserters who had robbed the human domain of its greatest heritages and foundations . They’d fled to the Myriad Abyss Island and recreated the glory of the human race .

Taking their empyrean decrees and possessions back to the human domain was simply returning them to their rightful owners .

With the aides dead, there was a shortage of elites within the rebels .

Jiang Chen and his companions had keen eyes . They targeted only the empyrean cultivators . Those below that level of cultivation made up the bulk of the army, but were only a burden in the fight . Even if they were lucky enough to survive the dragon roars, they would be crippled . There wasn’t a need to take their lives .
