Chapter 444: Chapter 412: The Unlucky Ones Are... You

There was little talk. The moment they met, they unleashed a flurry of techniques.

They were all keenly aware of the importance of the Fragmented Celestial Destiny Mark before them.

This Fragmented Celestial Destiny Mark, which resembled a scroll of a Daoist Ancient Scripture, was especially unique. If one of them managed to obtain it...

...then that person would essentially take a giant leap forward in the path of the Dream Dao, far surpassing the other.

One step ahead, always ahead.

Neither of them could possibly give it up!

CLANG!

The Great Sun Dragon Lady’s white hair whipped through the air as the formation diagram above her head thundered. The reflection of a great sun appeared, only to shatter and erupt with a majestic divine light. BOOM!

Sen Yue, his expression serene, swiftly dodged to the side. With a flick of his wrist, he threw a silver-white Talisman Treasure.

The Talisman Treasure shattered, and from within, an ancient Sword Flood Dragon roared as it dove!

It was a Xuan Yuan Talisman Treasure, the very kind Fang Yang took pride in.

However, the power this one unleashed was far greater.

In an instant, the ancient Sword Flood Dragon dove, powering through the lingering might of the shattered sun-star as it streaked across the void to strike down the Great Sun Dragon Lady.

A vast tide of Sword Qi rolled out, instantly obliterating a small, dark mountain.

The scene was utterly terrifying!

This was because the area was part of the Demon Emperor’s dreamscape. Even a small, dark mountain was infused with a Saint-level Divine Technique and a sliver of the dreamscape’s immense power!

The Great Sun Dragon Lady’s left hand transformed into a dragon’s claw. She clawed at the air, and golden divine light flared once more. It cascaded down like a great flood, its power capable of swallowing mountains and rivers as it swept across the land!

In the blink of an eye, the ancient Sword Flood Dragon was devoured, and only a backlash of golden divine light remained.

Though unleashed by a body merely at the Tier Five Peak, this strike was powerful enough to kill a Tier Six Saint.

Sen Yue’s pupils contracted slightly. His black hair, shimmering with light, billowed around him, and his Purple Gold Daoist Robe fluttered as his gaze grew sharp.

ROAR—

Following the dragon’s roar, waves of black light surged violently through the void.

An immense Chaotic Black Evil Dragon shot upward, carrying with it a monstrous aura of blood.

Within its aura, one could hear the wails of a thousand tribes and feel the impact of countless souls.

During the Xuan Yu War, Sen Yue had performed a blood sacrifice of thousands of tribes to create a flawless True Dragon of fortune, which allowed him to reach the realm of a Young Venerable.

After reaching the Saint realm, he had developed his internal Celestial Destiny Blessed Land even further—nurturing a populace on one hand, only to harvest them on the other.

He had long lost count of the lives that had fallen to his Evil Dragon.

Now, as the Chaotic Black Evil Dragon surged forward, a majestic blood-red light shot out, and a boundless aura of resentment seethed. Even the Demon Emperor’s dreamscape began to tremble faintly.

In an instant, the golden divine light dimmed to almost nothing. The entire area had become Sen Yue’s domain!

A trace of disgust flashed in the Great Sun Dragon Lady’s eyes. ’A true demon!’

’How could someone like him possibly be chosen by Celestial Destiny?’

’The Golden Clan... just as Father said. It’s a den of vipers, utterly corrupt and filthy!’

Then, the Great Sun Dragon Lady took a step forward. The great sun-star reappeared, coalescing into a Golden Divine Ring that enveloped her. She looked as if she were standing within a brilliant sun, radiating a blazing light.

At that moment, a powerful force erupted in the void. A beam of Great Sun Divine Light shot up, tearing through Sen Yue’s domain of blood-red light and black mist.

The divine ring was indestructible. The Great Sun Dragon Lady threw a Son of Heaven Dragon Fist. She advanced like an Immortal Emperor; with each step, the world trembled, and the universe itself seemed to resonate with her.

"Hmph. Your Great Sun Qi Number still belongs to my Golden Clan," Sen Yue sneered.

Not to be outdone, Sen Yue caused the blood-red light and black mist to swell, expanding his domain once more. He sought to completely seize the power of this world to crush and kill the Great Sun Dragon Lady.

All the while, the Fragmented Celestial Destiny Mark at the center of the battlefield floated serenely, emitting a soft glow.

......

’So this is the power of a Young Venerable?’

On Heaven-Suppressing Peak, Fang Yang stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance at the Demon Emperor’s dreamscape.

His eyes were like the divine pupils of a Golden Crow, allowing him to see through the void.

Combined with the unique properties of Heaven-Suppressing Peak, he could observe the events unfolding within the Demon Emperor’s dreamscape despite the vast distance.

He was spectating from afar, watching the Great Sun Dragon Lady and Sen Yue battle.

He hadn’t expected his plan to actually fall into place through such a bizarre series of coincidences.

He had managed to make Sen Yue and the Great Sun Dragon Lady meet and begin this world-shaking duel!

’Young Venerables are on another level. Both are invincible within their own realm.’

’If I didn’t have my Dream Emperor Dharma Aspect as a trump card, I would have absolutely no chance of defeating either of them.’

Fang Yang’s eyes glinted, his thoughts racing. ’Time to collect some data.’

Thanks to the convenience of the Platinum Space, he had developed a strong penchant for data collection.

Right now, he was frantically gathering intelligence on the two Young Venerables.

’And one should never underestimate these scraps of information.’

’After all, information warfare is an indispensable part of any conflict.’

’The battle between these two Young Venerables is terrifyingly destructive. If the battlefield were to shift outside the Demon Emperor’s dreamscape, it would surely bring a devastating blow to our four-pronged army.’

’Luckily, Su Xi and the others had already dispersed our forces.’

Besides, Fang Yang knew Sen Yue’s cold-blooded, cruel nature all too well.

He had no doubt that if the battle between the two Young Venerables were taking place outside the Demon Emperor’s dreamscape...

...Sen Yue would have ordered our four-pronged army to surround and kill the Great Sun Dragon Lady.

He might even deliberately draw the battle toward his own armies, just to drain the Great Sun Dragon Lady’s True Essence as much as possible.

’And in that scenario, I, Fang Yang, would have become the most prominent target!’

’Not only that, if I truly stood in the way of Sen Yue’s Great Dao... then Sen Yue would, in all likelihood, have struck me down with lightning speed, suppressing me completely!’

At that moment, a profound look entered Fang Yang’s eyes.

’I was this close to being the unlucky one.’

’Just think, if I still had the Fragmented Celestial Destiny Mark, I would have certainly met a tragic end.’

’But now, the unlucky ones... are you!’

The corners of Fang Yang’s mouth lifted into a slight smile, his heart filled with glee.

He felt a faint, twisted pleasure in being the mastermind behind the curtain. A wave of euphoria washed over him, making him feel as light as a feather, as if he could ascend to immortality at any moment.
