When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law

Chapter 622 The Dragon King Reaches the Heavens

In Bai Ze's view, the essence of battle is nothing more than eight words: use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

To put it even more precisely, it is about the strong bullying the weak.

If one surpasses the opponent in any one of the following aspects—technique, skill, spiritual power, willpower, or state of mind—the foundation for victory is laid. Even in battles against opponents of higher levels, victory is possible only because one's strengths outweigh the opponent's weaknesses.

If you are weaker than your opponent in every aspect, then pray that you have better luck.

The confrontation with Fazang was also based on this principle.

This body is formed from primordial energy, not Bai Ze's true form, making it difficult to unleash Bai Ze's high power. Furthermore, in order to conceal its identity, it is not advisable to unleash the upgraded Innate Great Yin Yang Five Elements Profound Yellow Life and Death Universe Divine Light.

However, Bai Ze's state of mind had already broken through the Heavenly Barrier, and he was undefeated and unretreating, surpassing Fa Zang. At this moment, he attacked the enemy with his state of mind, "Sa Tuo Twelve Evils are Empty", which eliminated all evil and also converted Fa Zang's hostility towards Bai Ze.

When the enemy's will to attack is dissipated, any move seems powerless, and even true energy is difficult to gather into a single stream.

Bai Ze parried Fazang's arm with a backhand and struck him in the chest with a palm, sending him flying backward.

He did not use any killing moves, lest he trigger Fazang's survival instincts; he did not even harm him, but instead repelled him.

Then, Bai Ze pressed down with one hand, and the earth trembled.

"Entangled".

Countless blue vines burst forth from the earth, binding and enveloping Fazang, locking his body and trapping his energy.

The whole process only took a few seconds, just as Fazang said, and it didn't waste too much time.

The fact that Fazang was trapped after a brief exchange caught Wang Qingcang off guard, and the method of growing vines also made Wang Qingcang's eyes narrow with awe.

"Shinra's bloodline supernatural powers?"

Bai Ze's "Sattva's Twelve Evils Are All Empty" uses mental states to overwhelm mental states. Fazang can see thousands of lotus flowers and immeasurable Brahma light, but Wang Qingcang only sees the brief exchange of fists and palms between the two, as well as Bai Ze's final method of stimulating the growth of vines.

This kind of method, which is not based on any specific technique but is more like an instinct, is very similar to the bloodline supernatural powers of the Shinra Empire.

In Shinra, every warrior can be considered an Awakened Ability user. Their bloodline determines their awakened abilities and the supernatural powers they will eventually condense.

In terms of techniques, they are inferior to those of the Eastern Xia, but their mastery of supernatural powers is like instinct, perfectly refined from the very beginning.

Wang Qingcang immediately deduced that this should be a supernatural ability of the Shenluo Empire's Shennong lineage.

But even if the God of Agriculture himself came, he couldn't trap Fazang so easily, could he?

Wang Qingcang's thoughts flashed, and he retreated in an instant, like a fleeting shadow.

However, this distance seems to be meaningless to Bai Ze.

God willing."

Bai Ze flipped his palm, unleashing his divine intent and true essence into the earth, performing the "Azure Dragon Entanglement".

As the distance was bridged, countless vines burst forth from the ground around Wang Qingcang, twisting into a giant dragon head that lunged at him.

At that moment, the sense of dislocation from above reappeared, and an invisible force, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking down at the same time.

The force of the energy pulled him down, causing Wang Qingcang to show a hint of dejection. He was indeed injured, but he was then suppressed by the overwhelming energy.

"Sky-Piercing Hand"

Wang Qingcang raised one hand to the sky, standing tall and firm, his vast power sweeping over him like a surging tsunami, his body upright as if a pillar supporting the heavens.

He was a powerful figure who broke through the barriers of Qi and Body, and was known as "Holding Up the Sky with One Hand". His moves were naturally characterized by their grandeur and magnificence.

At this moment, he made his move, his palm print reaching the sky, colliding head-on with the giant dragon's hand.

"Thump"

The enormous palm print suddenly sank, and the earth sank in as well.

With Wang Qingcang's strength, he certainly wouldn't be as easily defeated as Zheng Xuangan, but he also wouldn't be able to directly confront the overwhelming force of the heavens, especially since Wang Qingcang was still injured.

In a mere instant of contact, the dragon was at a complete disadvantage, its head roaring as it was about to swallow Wang Qingcang whole.

If he weren't Koshche, he would have been defeated by now.

However-

[Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me?]

[Attention, Na Xiangtian isn't at Jiufeng Mountain. Be careful.]

Ye Liuyun's voice suddenly rang in Bai Ze's ear.

This was a communication method that Bai Ze had arranged for Ye Liuyun beforehand. It was created using Yuan Qi. Ye Liuyun's words vibrated the Yuan Qi, forming a frequency, and were then perfectly replicated by the Yuan Qi on this side.

Ye Liuyun actually went to confront the Dragon King, a tough nut to crack.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Bai Ze had a thought that flashed through his mind.

Bai Ze suggested that a powerful figure like the Dragon King be tested last.

That was Ye Liuyun's nemesis, a powerful figure at the same level as Ye Liuyun. If it weren't for Ye Liuyun, the Dragon King would be the most famous Heavenly Gate Warrior in Dongxia.

Testing such a powerful expert is no easy task, nor can it be accomplished in a short time, so Bai Ze intends to save it for last.

Ye Liuyun stated that this is the mindset of the weak.

So he went to the Dragon King.

Unexpectedly, this search revealed that the Dragon King was not at the place where he had intercepted the true dragon of Wanlong Mountain.

If it's not at Jiufeng Mountain, it could be at a bomb site!

The giant dragon beast formed from vines exploded and was then crushed into dust.

Amidst the flying wood chips, a figure slowly descended from the sky and landed beside Wang Qingcang.

Dressed in a yellow robe, with a tall and straight figure, a full forehead, and a face like yellow jade, he exudes an extraordinary and arrogant aura; this is none other than "Dragon King" Na Xiangtian.

If he's not at Jiufeng Mountain, he might be with Wang Qingcang.

The Dragon King is a man of extraordinary talent, but he did not come from a powerful family. In fact, due to the circumstances of the times in his early years, he had to fight in underground boxing matches to obtain resources.

It was Wang Qingcang who discovered the Dragon King and invested in it, which led to the Dragon King we know today.

The Dragon King was also grateful and gave back after becoming famous by taking members of the Wang family and his close relatives as his disciples and supporting the Wang family on many occasions.

The Dragon King was extremely unpopular, and although he and Ye Liuyun were considered the twin pillars of the family, his relationship with the Wang family remained consistently strong. Decades of interaction, coupled with the entanglement of interests, had made them, to some extent, an integrated entity.

I hadn't even noticed him getting close before; this guy is really close to becoming a dragon.

Bai Ze also reversed his previous aggressive stance and stared intently at the Dragon King.

The Dragon King regarded dragons as perfect beings, capable of being large or small, rising or hiding; when large, they stir up clouds and mist, when small, they conceal their forms; when rising, they soar through the universe, when hiding, they lurk within the waves.

His martial arts are also extremely perfect, capable of being both fierce and unparalleled, as well as changing at will, making him omnipotent.

This is a perfection that even the true dragons of the Mountain and Sea Realm do not possess.

Although those true dragons have the form of dragons and possess various supernatural powers, they are still not perfect and do not conform to the way of the Dragon King.

The "cultivation into a dragon" that Bai Ze mentioned is the "dragon" that the Dragon King wanted to become.

If it is to be revealed, it will reach to the heavens and the earth; if it is to be hidden, no one will know it.

Even Bai Ze had not discovered the existence of the Dragon King before.

"This is a bit troublesome. My true form isn't here, and the Dragon King is a powerful figure who has broken through the three barriers of Qi, Body, and Spirit. In the entire Eastern Xia, he has only ever lost to Ye Liuyun."

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, but since they had already met, he might as well test them out as well.

The Dragon King is actually a minor suspect, because Kosh'e's soul is injured and he has never been able to break through the Heavenly Gate of Gods.

But this doesn't mean Koschae can't fake it and make himself look like he's broken through the gates of God.

He himself had long since broken through the Three Heavens Barrier and even created "Spirit Devouring," absorbing countless amounts of malice to nourish his divine soul. In terms of the strength of his primordial spirit alone, Kosh'e was definitely not weaker than those who had broken through the Heavenly Barrier of Gods; he was only lacking in realm.

As long as he doesn't let anyone probe his primordial spirit and usually uses other techniques, no one can discern his true nature.

Moreover, the Dragon King's path to perfection and Kosch's martial arts have some similarities.

Bai Ze had once explored Kosh'e's innate supernatural power. While he couldn't say he fully understood Kosh'e's goal, he knew a good enough.

Koche's martial arts are also perfect; he wants to become the ultimate, flawless being.

Hey, can you hear me?

Ye Liuyun's voice was still echoing.

I saw the Dragon King.

Bai Ze replied with a burst of Yuan Qi, "Go find other targets, accomplish as many as you can. Leave the Dragon King to me."

Then, he hung up the communication with Yuanqi.

An invisible force surged in at the same time, like a tsunami or a gale. Despite the normal weather, Bai Ze felt a sense of oppression, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city and threatening to crush it.

Even the trapped Fazang awoke at the same time and broke free from his restraints.

His instincts were triggered, and he sensed a life-or-death crisis, bringing his mind back from that endless, clear state.

"Instead of running away, you want to fight me?"

The Dragon King, with a half-smile, fixed his gaze on the blurry figure. "You've got some nerve."

He could sense Bai Ze's courage and perceive his unwavering will.

The other party showed no intention of escaping and even intended to continue attacking.

Bai Ze chuckled and said, "Don't misunderstand, you're the challenger, not Ye Liuyun's defeated opponent."

To insult someone, you must expose their weaknesses; to kill someone, you must destroy their spirit.

Bai Ze has always been adept at reopening old wounds.

The Dragon King's greatest obstacle is Ye Liuyun. It is because of Ye Liuyun's existence that the Dragon King's perfect path is flawed, and even his state of mind is incomplete due to his defeat by Ye Liuyun.

This is the Dragon King's most important character trait, so he must be angry, and he will inevitably be angry.

Once anger is generated, an opportunity will arise.

If he doesn't get angry, then his suspicion will increase dramatically, because it means that the Dragon King's state of mind is flawed and may be a facade.

Koche has long since broken through the Heavenly Gate of the Heart, and his mind is pure Yang; it is impossible for him to have any flaws in his mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon King's expression remained unchanged, but Bai Ze still caught a glimpse of that emotional fluctuation.

The Dragon King was enraged.

So, Bai Ze raised the stakes again.

"Haha, getting anxious."

These simple four words carried immense satirical force, not to mention that Bai Ze had also secretly used the power of words to make them lawful.

That slight emotional fluctuation was amplified, and the Dragon King was truly "anxious".

The sky and earth suddenly darkened, thunder roared, and ominous clouds gathered.

The Dragon King's anger was stirred, but as expected of a top expert in Dongxia, he did not suppress it but let his anger run rampant, stirring up the external energy and causing a change in the heavens.

Amidst the roar of wind and thunder, the world turned into a dark and desolate landscape, as an unstoppable force pressed down relentlessly.

In a daze, it seemed as if a celestial dragon was soaring through the sky, its eyes looking down and its claws reaching out.

With momentum and intent arriving simultaneously, the Dragon King's wrath will transform into a tangible offensive.

However, Bai Ze's attack was faster than the Dragon King's.

Faced with the vast and boundless power of heaven and earth, Bai Ze did not retreat but advanced. With a surge of divine will, he broke free from the oppressive power of the dark and gloomy world, escaped from the gaze of the Heavenly Dragon, and rose to a higher place.

The will of Heaven is supreme, the will of Heaven is absolute.

The misalignment of intentions leads to the rise and fall of momentum, the great trend of heaven and earth is suddenly reversed, and the sound of wind and thunder is also scattered in an instant.

Furthermore, a palm print descended from above, pressing down into the air.

Bai Ze's figure disappeared from the Dragon King's divine will at some point, leaving only a palm strike that covered the sky and fell downwards.

You, Dragon King, command the wind and rain, and control the heavens and earth; I will turn the heavens and earth upside down, and even crush your spirit.

The palm print that fell was not only meant to attack and kill, but also to smash his mind from the highest heavens to the ground.

At that moment, the Dragon King actually felt his own insignificance.

His figure seemed to shrink infinitely under the palm print, becoming insignificant, and the world before him was replaced by the palm print.

"Ah!"

In the blink of an eye, a thunderous roar tore apart the infinitely expanding heaven and earth. The Dragon King's eyes flashed with rage as he rose from the ground, his body like a dragon striking the sky, his claws tearing through the firmament.

The tiny figure swelled up, transforming into a true dragon, and clashed with the palm print.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning exploded in the air.

It was not formed from lightning-attribute true essence, but rather from the collision of pure power, creating a thunderbolt.

The clouds parted and the sky cleared!

The gloom of the world was broken, and a beam of light, or rather a thunderbolt, pierced the sky and illuminated the two figures clashing.

There were no overwhelming, nor were there any dragons that first appeared tiny and then expanded infinitely; there were simply two figures of normal size.

Bai Ze's palm did not fill the heaven and earth, nor was the Dragon King crushed into dust. Instead, it broke through the suppression and surged into a true dragon.

Fazang was deeply shaken, staring in disbelief at the astonishing change. The clarity of his Vajra Heart and the sensitivity of his Lapis Lazuli Appearance told him that this was the truth, but he was still immersed in the incredibly shocking scene just now.

The intense confrontation between the two forces suppressed even his perception as a powerful expert at the Heavenly Gate, and even crushed his essence, energy, and spirit, leading to that illusion.

This is a crushing defeat on a level, a difference in strength between heaven and earth.

At the same time, Bai Ze also used all his abilities to mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

If I hadn't transmitted my power remotely through words, this strike would have been enough to shatter my primordial energy avatar. After all, it's just an avatar; even if the realms are equal, there are differences in power.

Fortunately, the ability to make one's words come true allows one to transmit power with minimal consumption.

Although it is not as powerful as the original body, it is enough to replicate 70% of the original body's power.

"Using the abstract to create the concrete, creating matter."

Within the primordial energy body, tangible tendons and bones appeared, and flesh and blood began to evolve and transform, transforming the original ethereal body into a real existence.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth surged, and a fierce wind swept down from the sky.

The taking shape merges into the wind, allowing the endless storm to strike down with chaos, and the palm print to hide behind the chaos, gathering yin and yang, and converging the primordial chaos.

"The primordial energy of Xuanhuang."
