X-Dragon Era

Under the relentless assault from Xin Yun, the amethyst-tier Giant Dragon trembled incessantly, frozen in place. After four or five seconds, a thunderous explosion rang out as it burst into a sky full of flames. Witnessing this scene, everyone was dumbstruck.

If it had been just about killing an opponent, that might not have been much, much like Xin Yun's Kongtong Seal, which, despite its immense power, was truly cumbersome to use.

But now, it seemed that Xin Yun's attacks were effortlessly conjured, and their devastating power was astonishing. Once he targeted someone, even Luo Fu would probably not escape unscathed.

Finally... the last enemy was cleaved in two by an Explosive Slash from Luo Fu, and the battle ended there. From start to finish, the entire conflict took less than thirty seconds. In thirty seconds, all twelve amethyst-class experts were slain! That's the current strength of the Dragon Gate!

It was safe to say that as long as they were amethyst-class experts, the Dragon Gate wouldn't be afraid. But if a diamond-tier expert came along, that would be a different story. Although they could be dealt with, the cost would be too great, a price Xin Yun was unwilling to pay.

Some might say Xin Yun was too miserly, but he had his own considerations. For now, he still had nine uses left of the Immortal Stone, and he didn't want to squander them. Once the realm of the Illusory God Dragon opened, Xin Yun was relying on that genuine and supremely powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure to help him overcome the Nine Phantom Divine Dragons. For Xin Yun, nothing was more important than becoming a King Level master...

Legend had it that Mount Buzhou was transformed from Pangu's spine. After countless years, a total of nine Pangu's Relics had condensed within it, and these nine relics were the only path for members of the Dragon Clan to become the Dragon King!

What is a dragon? Some said it was the bloodline of Pangu, veins that transformed, others believed it was the sinews of Pangu. The true nature was no longer verifiable, but regardless, such dragons were boneless, and thus their power was inevitably limited.

These relics of Pangu were the only nine in the world. Other parts of his body had transformed into other races, such as the Demon Race and the Witch Clan, making it impossible for more relics to form.

With these nine Pangu's Relics, miss this opportunity, and there would be no other. Therefore... Xin Yun was determined to secure one of these relics at any cost.

Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan, they were all no problem. Since they obtained them in the last life, then in this one, with Xin Yun's help and their significantly increased strength, obtaining the Dragon Balls would be even less of a problem.

Hence, Xin Yun's biggest concern was himself. The might of the Illusory God Dragon was beyond ordinary imagination; even diamond-tier experts with Ten Stars who ventured there faced a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, with only those nine individuals possibly succeeding.

Don't be fooled by how powerful Xin Yun currently seemed; whether he was truly formidable wouldn't be known until now at the very least. This could be said... those who will be powerful in the future are definitely powerful now, but those who are powerful now may not necessarily be so in the future.

Whether a person truly was a supreme expert would only become clear at the diamond tier. Take the previous Wang Sheng for example; although he reached the diamond tier, he was merely cannon fodder at that level, among the weakest. Otherwise, he might have died but would not have been so effortlessly dispatched. Against a stronger opponent, he wouldn't have died at all.

Speaking of Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan, once they reached the level of a one-star diamond, the current Kongtong Seal wouldn't be able to kill them, not even touch a single hair. That's the difference.

Of course, the Kongtong Seal may be weak, but its essence is not found in its attack capabilities but in the principles of eternal youth and life. By comparison, it's definitely stronger than the Sky-Overturning Seal. If the Original Heavenly Venerable had this seal, then it wouldn't matter how his disciples died; they could be restored to their original state at any time. From a certain perspective, not even those Innate Supreme Treasures would be worth exchanging for it.

If Taiyi had possessed this Kongtong Seal back then, and he had transformed the 365 Heavenly Demons into eternally young and immortal old clans, who could have defeated him? With the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars formed by the Chaos Bell, he would have been invincible!

The reason Taiyi lost was mainly because the 365 Heavenly Demons died one by one, leaving the formation incomplete and leading to his defeat. Otherwise, as long as the formation and the Chaos Bell were intact, Taiyi would have been unbeatable, and not even a Sage's arrival would have mattered. The Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars formed by the Chaos Bell was incomparable to formations like the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.

Although the Chaos Bell was powerful, it could only protect Taiyi himself, not his plethora of demons. But if he had also possessed the Kongtong Seal, that would have been the perfect combination!

It's clear enough, being the Celestial Emperor yet not having the Jade Seal in hand, what good is just a bell? A realm obtained by force is bound to be lost through force. The Kongtong Seal paired with the Chaos Bell is the flawless, best match!

Back then, when Taiyi was defeated, the Twelve Ancestral Witches resorted to suicidal attacks, even self-destructing, to take down the 365 Heavenly Demons. After Taiyi's death, the Ancestral Witches were almost all dead as well. If Taiyi had the Kongtong Seal, they could have just retreated halfway through, allowing the Ancestral Witches to kill all the Heavenly Demons, then brought them back to life in the blink of an eye before launching another attack. How could the Ancestral Witches have withstood that?

Even if we set aside the asumption that Taiyi might still have lost in the end, with the Kongtong Seal, at the very least he could ensure he wouldn't die and could resurrect in an instant. As the saying goes, 'Where there's life, there's hope.' With Taiyi's strength and the Chaos Bell in his possession, who would doubt his ability to rise again?
