Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 366 Dragon's Lair
Xia Jiuyou's protector breathed a sigh of relief.

When he first entered this underground palace, he tried to leave in his own way, but after several attempts, he discovered that there were strong restrictions in this underground palace, and powerful beings could not get out of it at all.

After seeing the gap-toothed old man's condition, he realized that it wasn't just a powerful figure; even a Dao-Slaying King would have a hard time getting out of here. But Wang Teng was able to draw a portal with a flick of his wrist and walk out in front of everyone, which proved Wang Teng's strength, or rather, how powerful the forces behind him were.

At the very least, he has an ancient sage behind him, or rather, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor left him with methods comparable to those of an ancient sage.

Fortunately, they didn't clash with him, otherwise, even if he had a peerless quasi-emperor standing behind him, they would have been overwhelmed.

If Xia Jiuyou's protectors were so surprised, then others must have been even more astonished. The old man with the gap-toothed tooth was filled with shock and relief at having just erased the mark.

Otherwise, if he were to turn back and actually seek out Wang Teng, even if he managed to seize the opportunity, given the background and powerful figures behind Wang Teng, it was uncertain whether he would actually benefit from it.

After all, according to rumors from the Eastern Wilderness, in order to protect Wang Teng, a powerful ancestor of the Wang family has also been resurrected and has already made a high-profile appearance in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

The others were just as shocked; they hadn't expected Wang Teng to be not only powerful but also possess so many tricks up his sleeve.

To put it bluntly, from the moment they entered the underground palace, they were trying to figure out if they could leave directly. But the reason these people were fighting to the death here was precisely because they couldn't leave directly.
If they had a way, they would have left long ago.

Especially the city lord of Qin City, who was only half a step away from becoming a Dao-Slaying King, was one of the strongest people present. He had encountered the Bronze Dragon. If he had had the chance, he would have left long ago. How could the Bronze Dragon have been snatched away by others?

"The well-deserved Northern Emperor..."

Someone in the crowd spoke up and remarked with emotion.

The title of Northern Emperor originated from the Eastern Wilderness, because Wang Teng was powerful.

Throughout his many years traveling in the Eastern Wilderness, no one could compare to him. Even the most renowned geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness had never fought against Wang Teng, which was enough to show how powerful he was.

"Hmph! What Northern Emperor! He's clearly just an arrogant idiot..." Xia Jiuyou muttered under his breath, clearly dissatisfied.

She was just about to defeat the prince of the Jiuli Dynasty and the princess of the Daxia Dynasty and take the bronze dragon for herself when Wang Teng intervened and took it away, which made her very unhappy.

However, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction to his face, because she couldn't beat Wang Teng!

Hearing Xia Jiuyou's words, the ice princess from the Great Xia Dynasty tilted her head and glanced at Xia Jiuyou, her eyes filled with a hint of curiosity.

"Young Master, let's go too." Xia Jiuyou's protector came to Xia Jiuyou's side and said.

"Alright, let's go then." Xia Jiuyou sighed.

All the opportunities here are gone, so there's no point in staying. It's better to leave.

Xia Jiuyou's protector raised his hand and took out an array plate. After throwing it on the ground, it shattered and transformed into array patterns that spread outwards, instantly forming a domain gate.

"hiss……"

As Xia Jiuyou and his protectors left, the people around them gasped again.

"Are all the people from the Eastern Wilderness this amazing?" someone whispered.

"It's not only in the Eastern Wilderness that geniuses exist!" Although the City Lord of Qin City had lost the Bronze Dragon, he remained spirited and smiled calmly.

With a casual wave of his hand, array patterns appeared in the void, and a faint portal appeared. The City Lord of Qin City stepped into it and disappeared.

"Alright, let's leave too," said the royal uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The matter is settled, and they should now depart.

But before leaving, the Great Xia Imperial Uncle glared fiercely at the two men from the Nine Li Dynasty.

"I will report this matter of the Jiuli Dynasty to the Emperor of my Great Xia Dynasty! Also, Fellow Daoist Gu, I don't mind sharing your story with my old friends!"

After speaking, the Great Xia Imperial Uncle left with his younger generation, leaving behind only the Nine Li Dynasty prince with a rather unpleasant expression, and the Nine Li Dynasty prince's protector who was completely heartbroken.

"Let's go back first! Go tell Father that this operation has failed!" The prince of the Jiuli Dynasty took a deep breath and said.

After they left, the powerful figures from the various schools of thought and other powerful individuals also departed one after another, none of them lingering in the place.

After most people had left, the gap-toothed old man sighed and went to the huge coffin.

Here he patted the huge coffin hard, "Everyone else is gone, how long are you planning to hide?"

Accompanied by several banging sounds and the voice of the gap-toothed old man, a head cautiously peeked out from inside the coffin.

It was the city lord of Qin City.

"Have they all left?" the Qin City Lord asked cautiously.

"They've definitely all left, otherwise why would I have called you out!" the gap-toothed old man said irritably. "Your personality is exactly like your father's back in the day!"

"Hahaha, Uncle, you watched me grow up, don't you know my personality?" The city lord of Qincheng revealed a shy smile as he climbed out of the coffin.

"Let's go! They've all left, there's no point in staying here any longer," the gap-toothed old man sighed and said.

"The bronze dragon was taken by that little guy from the Northern Plains. His strength is undeniable. In a battle between people of the same realm, even I couldn't win against him, not to mention that the power behind him is extraordinary. To be able to escape directly from the underground palace, he must have an ancient sage-level figure behind him, or some even more powerful being left behind a backup plan."

The gap-toothed old man continued speaking.

He felt regret when the Bronze Dragon was mentioned, but he knew that the Bronze Dragon was no longer relevant to him.

"Are we really just going to watch that bronze dragon be taken away by people from the Northern Plains?" The Qin City Lord was still somewhat unwilling.

You see, they were almost able to take the Bronze Dragon, but in the end, several people from other places appeared one after another and took the Bronze Dragon away.

"What can you do if you're not happy? Can you beat him?" the gap-toothed old man said with a smile.

"In the end, I still feel somewhat unwilling..." The city lord of Qin City sighed.

“Let’s go first. That little guy from the Northern Plains is ridiculously powerful and terrifying. If you have the chance in the future, you can get to know him a little. If the Path to Emperorship opens one day, even though you are much older than them, you may still have a chance to compete for it. If you can really embark on that path, befriending Wang Teng is not a bad thing.” The gap-toothed old man spoke calmly.

"I understand!" City Lord Qin nodded.

Meanwhile, Wang Teng had already left the Qinling Mountains, a million miles away, and returned to Qin City. Such a long distance was just a thought to him.

Emperor Hengyu's chessboard array pattern is indeed amazing, but Wang Teng has cultivated dozens of imperial scriptures and has dabbled in ancient imperial texts. In addition, with the various array patterns that have been perfected countless times by Emperor Ruthless, Wang Teng may not necessarily need void array patterns to pave his way.

The array he just used was the most orthodox array pattern inherited from the Ruthless Great Emperor.

However, no one in Zhongzhou is destined to be able to see it. Even if the Holy Son of Yaoguang came, he would definitely not be able to see what kind of method Wang Teng was using.

Because the Holy Son of Yaoguang is only one lineage in the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor, and does not have the qualifications to cultivate the complete inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

In reality, let alone the complete inheritance, that lineage doesn't even possess a third of the complete inheritance. The reason it accounts for such a high percentage is because that lineage possesses the Undying Heavenly Art and the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Besides, even if Wang Teng revealed many things to the Holy Son of Yao Guang during his interview, the Holy Son of Yao Guang probably wouldn't recognize that this was the legacy of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

After returning to Qincheng, Wang Teng casually found an inn to stay at.

He took out a bronze dragon that was over ten feet long, placed it in front of him, and examined it carefully.

This dragon, which is over ten feet long, is cast entirely in bronze. It looks incredibly lifelike, with each scale clearly carved. It was truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Its realism is comparable to that of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin in the Ancient Sacred Land.

"How do I activate this..." Wang Teng pondered.

The bronze dragon was intact, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't find a way to unravel it.

After all, this was left behind by a powerful figure from at least six or seven thousand years ago, whose realm during his lifetime must have reached that of ancient sages.

Without a specific method, it would be very difficult to decipher what the other party left behind.

I reckon the older generation in Zhongzhou probably know how to unlock the bronze dragon, but if I ask them now, they might not be willing to tell me.

"This kind of thing... doesn't require brute force to break. Try using the imperial dragon energy of the Great Xia Dynasty." The Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon Deity spoke to Wang Teng from within Wang Teng's Sea of ​​Bitterness, reminding him.

"Imperial Dragon Qi?" Wang Teng pondered, then stretched out a hand and placed it on the bronze dragon.

The inheritances in the Desolate Forbidden Land cover almost all the great emperors throughout history. Even if they don't have their complete inheritances, they have some of their inheritances. Even if they don't include the forbidden techniques of each great emperor, they still have the imperial scriptures of each great emperor, and at least most of them.

Wang Teng's Dao Palace deity, Lu Hao, had cultivated in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land for several years. Including the time he was frozen by the power of time and space, the time Wang Teng's Dao Palace deity, Lu Hao, spent cultivating in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was not short.

While I may not have explored the various imperial lineages in great depth, I did dabble in them from the beginning and conducted in-depth, factual research on some aspects.

Wang Teng's talent is beyond doubt.

The title of Northern Emperor was never given lightly. You can say Wang Teng was bad, but you can't say he was incompetent. In the original work, Wang Teng also perished because of his Dao Heart.

In this life, Earth King Teng will accept this cheat code and will definitely make full use of it.

Lu Hao had also dabbled in the Imperial Scriptures of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, after all, it was known as the most powerful in terms of conquest.

At this moment, Wang Teng made his move, and a wisp of imperial dragon energy surged from his palm.

All around, a faint dragon's roar seemed to echo, and a powerful pressure descended, as if a true dragon from the heavens bowed its head to survey the land.

Wang Teng's Martial Arts Heavenly Eye has almost transformed into a vertical pupil, his eyes filled with majesty. Even if he stands there motionless, he is like a true dragon lying in wait, making people dare not underestimate him.

"The ancient emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was probably only like you in the same realm..." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor and God of Weapons pondered for a long time before speaking.

Wang Teng's performance clearly demonstrates that he has cultivated the ancient imperial scriptures of the Great Xia Dynasty to an extremely profound level. It's only because Prince Xia Yiming of the Great Xia Dynasty is not here at the moment that he would probably kneel on the ground in surprise and ask if Wang Teng is the biological son of their lineage of ancient emperors.

"There's no other way. To become the strongest, you have to gather the essence of many schools of thought. The paths of those who came before me will serve as my guide," Wang Teng said calmly.

The dragon let out a soft roar, and the purest imperial aura flowed into the bronze dragon through Wang Teng's hand.

As the imperial aura surged in, the bronze dragon seemed to be imbued with spiritual energy and came to life, even uttering a faint dragon roar that resonated with the aura of the true dragon beside Wang Teng.

Furthermore, the scales on the bronze dragon looked as if they had been alive, and were even twitching slightly.

The bronze dragon raised its head, opened its mouth, and spat out a key.

Furthermore, after being baptized by the imperial dragon energy, the scales on its back were rearranged and recombined to form a map.

"So simple?" Wang Teng was somewhat surprised. The craftsmanship of this bronze dragon was extraordinary, almost approaching the level of ancient sages. Wang Teng thought that solving the problem on the bronze dragon would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly.

"After all, this is something left to the descendants of the powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Imperial Dragon Qi should be the key to unlocking the Bronze Dragon. If it is too difficult to unlock, it would be illogical," the Chaotic Ancient Imperial Weapon Deity transmitted.

Of course, there was another major reason he didn't mention: Wang Teng was simply too monstrous. In the current Great Xia Dynasty, it would be incredibly difficult to find anyone who could cultivate the Great Xia Emperor Scripture better than Wang Teng at the same level.

Perhaps there are, but they are definitely core-level geniuses of the Great Xia Dynasty, and there may only be one such person in several generations.

Having obtained the clue about the bronze dragon, Wang Teng did not waste any more time.

He had been stuck at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm for too long, and now his cultivation level was almost uncontrollable, so he couldn't wait to break through.

Referring to the address on the bronze dragon, Wang Teng returned to the Qinling Mountains, which stretch for millions of miles.

However, compared to his previous aimless search while mingling among the scattered cultivators, this time his purpose was very clear: to head straight for a certain place in the Qinling Mountains, which stretch for millions of miles.

Soon, he had traveled a million miles into the Qinling Mountains, reaching the very depths of the Qinling range.

Following the location on the bronze dragon, Wang Teng changed directions several times and finally arrived at a secluded place.

What kind of animal's nest was that? Following the path down the path, Wang Teng saw a doorway at the end.

After placing the key obtained from the bronze dragon's mouth into the portal, a new space suddenly opened up in front of Wang Teng.

A massive stone wall stood before Wang Teng, with two large characters carved on it:

Dragon's Lair!
