Chapter 2360 - The Figure on the Throne! (1/2)

One of the figures had a somewhat savage and wicked face, long and disheveled hair, and a robe adorned with cloud patterns on his body. A blue light radiated from his body, an enormous energy surging out from his body and disappearing into the ground beneath him.

Next to him was a beautiful woman wearing armor. Vortices swirled around her body, which was radiating intense pulses of spatial energy.

The last person was over seventy years old and had an honest and sincere face. He seemed like a very moral and virtuous person, and his body was also brimming with immense amounts of energy. But unlike the others, Wang Chong felt an intense Ice Element energy from him.

The three of them stood in a row, motionless like statues. Wang Chong could sense no signs of life from them. They had clearly been dead for some time.

“On the right is Da Hong. He can control the weather and lightning, and was an important official serving Little Grass. He was also called the Thunder Duke. The lightning storm we saw earlier was probably his doing. The one in the middle is Feng Hou. She was once Little Grass’s enemy, but she was subdued by Little Grass. She can also control the weather. On the left is Yu Shi. The ocean we saw was very likely the work of him and Feng Hou,” Little Nightmare sorrowfully said.

It had seen them laugh and talk, had watched them fight alongside each other for the sake of Little Grass, but now, they were all dead.

“Li Mu was also one of Little Grass’s officials. He was part of the Kuafu Tribe, so he had a large body. He was once my best friend.”

Little Nightmare’s words made Wang Chong internally sigh, and on the side, Li Xuantu was also sorrowful.

For them, these people were simply ancients from more than one thousand years ago. Neither of them understood them or had interacted with them. But for Little Nightmare, they had been friends, comrades in battle, a part of its life.

But all of them were now dead, leaving only Little Nightmare.

For it, this was undoubtedly exposing the darkest and most painful page in its life.

The three people standing here were guarding this place, and Wang Chong gradually understood that this entire dimension had been created through the combined efforts of them and that man within the Celestial Emperor Palace, those six pillars at the edges of the ocean serving as proof.

“Little Nightmare, do you really not know what happened back then?” Wang Chong said after a few moments of silence.

Little Nightmare shook its head.

“At the time, Da Hong and Feng Hou backed my exile. As our relationship had been good before this, I was extremely angry at the time. After that, I was sealed in that bottomless pit. Now that I think about it, they probably ran into problems not long after I was sealed.”

Wang Chong lowered his head in thought.

Though he had not personally experienced anything, Wang Chong sensed that before this incident, whether it was Little Nightmare’s former master or Da Hong, Feng Hou, and Yu Shi, they had all probably sensed something. Thus, they had joined together to put on an act to seal Little Nightmare in that bottomless pit.

If not for this, then given Little Nightmare’s affection for that man, it also would have been standing here in the Celestial Palace.

But Wang Chong had no plan to tell Little Nightmare this, as this would only add to its sorrow.

After bowing to Da Hong and his comrades, Wang Chong walked around their bodies and continued forward.

The scene before them was exceedingly resplendent and grandiose, like a dream. Heaven had gone to great lengths to construct this false Celestial Domain.

Walking past the resplendent nameboard, they soon saw something new.

This was an enormous body, tens of thousands of feet in length.

In the middle of the restless sea of mist, they saw a savage and majestic dragon head, its drooping whiskers as thick as an arm and a hundred and sixty feet long. The dragon head also sported two dazzling golden horns.

“This!”

Though they had mentally prepared themselves for such sights, especially after seeing that giant green bird, when they saw this ten-thousand-foot divine dragon, they were still given a massive shock.

In all of the myths of the Central Plains, no creature had a greater status than a dragon, but everyone knew that dragons were mythical and did not exist.

Li Xuantu was a member of the imperial household, which had always regarded itself as descendants of dragons, and the Emperors even claimed to be nine-clawed golden dragons. But in reality, Li Xuantu had never believed such things.

Yet this was clearly a real and authentic dragon.

“This is the Azure Dragon!”

Li Xuantu slowly stepped close, staring at the massive dragon head in shock.

“I didn’t think that Heaven would even be hiding a real dragon inside the Celestial Palace. It’s no wonder he’s been able to control the Emperors of the Central Plains for so long. The imperial household considers themselves to be dragons, and if a dragon appeared in the realm below, any imperial authority would lower its head.”

Heaven’s methods were far beyond their imagination. With this divine dragon at hand, no matter what dynasties rose and fell, they would always be playthings in his hands.

Wang Chong looked up at the giant dragon and said, “But it’s clear that this divine dragon is imprisoned here, and Heaven can’t reach his hands into this place. That’s why he had to go to such great lengths to create the green bird to try and lure Emperor Wu in.”

The Celestial Emperor Palace was covered by that golden barrier that rejected all of Heaven’s power. In this way, the divine dragon had been sealed.

“Heaven’s servant, Essence Supreme, has a very powerful creation ability. The Behemoth Army and that green bird were both his work. But this creation ability must have a limit, and different creatures have different levels of difficulty. This divine dragon probably belongs to the highest level of difficulty, and even Essence Supreme is probably unable to create one,” Li Xuantu sternly said.

Wang Chong nodded.
