Chapter 1054: Ye Yuxian and Wu Gui’s Arrival
As soon as Long Tianhuo extended his hand towards the flying artifact, Hundun, still frozen in Feng Huang’s ice, flew towards them. Qing Long and the others gasped in shock when they saw his condition, especially since he only had one arm, and his cultivation had been crippled.
Even so, they looked thrilled about it, especially since Hundun was one of their arch enemies, so they didn’t need to bother fighting him anymore, and they only needed to fight his three brothers.
Long Tianhuo then spoke to them. “We can capture this pig because he is seriously injured, and his strength has decreased drastically compared to his original strength.”
“Oh?” Wang Jinlong and the others were surprised to hear that. “Who could injure Hundun this badly?”
“He is the one.” They immediately turned to Tang Chen after Long Tianhuo pointed at him. “Brother Chen did it when he broke through to the three immortal realms a few months ago, and he also injured Hundun’s three brothers, so we plan to attack them as soon as possible.”
“Hahaha.” Tang Chen chuckled awkwardly at their stares, given that most of them, especially the golden dragon king, were stronger than him. “You guys don’t need to see me like that, and I was able to injure them by borrowing someone’s strength. Otherwise, I would have died in their hands, especially since I had just broken through to that stage during our fight.”
“You’re wrong about that.” Wang Jinlong shook his head at Tang Chen. “Even if you win your battle with them by borrowing someone’s strength, winning is still winning, and that’s what matters. Furthermore, this pig, along with his three brothers, has destroyed our home realms and slaughtered our races to the point that many of them are almost extinct, such as the ice phoenix race.
That’s why I thank you for that, and we will exterminate them once and for all soon.”
Huo Qilin and the others nodded in agreement with Wang Jinlong, and they all gazed at Tang Chen with gratitude.
However, they were also curious about him and the identity of the person whose power they borrowed to fight the four evil mythical beasts, especially since the four of them were extremely powerful that even their king could not defeat them in the past, and they had to hide from them for thousands of years.
“They’re here.” Long Tianhuo said this as he looked in another direction.
Soon, a flying artifact had arrived in front of them, and the first to descend from it were Yu Xixuan and Wu Gui, followed by three mythical beasts from the vermilion bird, lightning qilin, and flame dragon races.
They did not pay attention to the flame dragon, as they thought that he was Long Tianhuo’s person, and their attention was more focused on the vermilion bird, especially since his presence had fulfilled Wang Jinlong’s words in the past. Since the four virtue mythical beasts were complete, the second beast war could happen at any time.
However, Huo Qilin was more interested in the identity of the lightning qilin, especially since she herself was a qilin, but she was a fire qilin.
“My Lord!” Ye Yuxian and Wu Gui immediately kneeled in front of Wang Jinlong, and Qing Long wanted to scold them, but their king quickly stopped him. “My lord! We have important news for you, and you will all be thrilled to hear it.”
“What kind of news did you two get?” Wang Jinlong asked Wu Gui.
However, Tang Chen was the first to answer the golden dragon king. “They have met the inheritor of the primordial chaos dragon, and they previously trained with him in the mysterious tower.”
Tang Chen’s answer silenced the atmosphere in the place for a long time, and everyone looked at him speechlessly, including Wang Jinlong. However, the joy in their expressions could not be hidden, especially since they had been waiting for the return of the primordial chaos dragon for so long.
“Hahahaha!” Wu Gui’s loud laughter brought them all back to their senses, and he then explained everything to them, starting with Tang Chen and Hundun’s fight in the Star Cloud Realm and ending with Zhou Yu bringing him to meet Ling Yun.
After that, Ye Yuxian explained to them about her encounter with Ling Yun at the Eternal Spring Sect, which made her realize that he was the successor of the primordial chaos dragon.
In addition, she told them about the adventures she and Wu Gui had with him over the past few months, including their training at the mysterious tower, so Wang Jinlong and the others could estimate his current strength.
Seeing that they remained silent after listening to Wu Gui and Ye Yuxian’s story, Long Tianhuo decided to speak to them. “Ling Yun is our son-in-law, especially since our daughter is one of his wives, and he is indeed still weak now.
However, he is the only cultivator in our universe with unlimited potential, not because he is the successor of the primordial chaos dragon, but because he still has many things under his sleeves. Moreover, he is still young now, and he still has a lot of time to grow.
Our beast race will find peace again when he becomes the true primordial chaos dragon, and he will lead all of us to achieve a better life.”
However, Long Tianhuo did not tell Wang Jinlong and the others about Ling Yun’s devil soul because it might leave worry and fear in their hearts, especially since the devil path was the most vicious cultivation path, and the devil was far more vicious than the demons.
“You are right.” Wang Jinlong nodded to Long Tianhuo. “Strength cannot be built overnight, and it took us all a very long time to reach our current strength. Even so, Ling Yun’s current strength is already impressive, and there have never been cultivators in the ten mortal realms who can fight with cultivators in the five god realms, so he is the first person who can do so.
For now, we can only wait for him to become the next primordial chaos dragon, and he will lead all the beast races in this universe for the better.”
“Anyway, you couldn’t find the whereabouts of the fire phoenix race, right?” Wang Jinlong nodded to Feng Huang. “Currently, there are four female fire phoenixes by Ling Yun’s side, and two of them are his wives. They must have heard your call, but he won’t let them leave his side, especially since there is still something bothering them.”
“Hmm?” Wang Jinlong looked at Feng Huang with raised eyebrows.
Feng Huang then explained to Wang Jinlong and the others about the three prophecies, which shocked them. “My husband and I have already stopped Zhu Ling and Jing Shen, but I feel that it’s not over yet, and I’m sure Ling Yun must have realized that too, so he didn’t let them go to answer your call.”
“That’s right, Lord.” Ye Xixuan said this to Wang Jinlong. “At first, Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie wanted to go with us to see you, but Ling Yun strictly forbade them, especially since their cultivation is still in the ten mortal realms, as they spent more than a thousand years in the lower realm, making it difficult to improve their cultivation.”
“I see.” Wang Jinlong nodded in understanding and did not mind, but he then questioned Feng Huang. “Have you met any other members of the Fire Phoenix Race before? As I recall, there were still a lot of them left after the first beast war was over, but I couldn’t find any of them, and they didn’t seem to have any intention of answering my calls.”
Feng Huang let out a soft sigh before answering Wang Jinlong. “Indeed, their numbers were still quite large at that time, but most of them were still young, and the destruction of our realm probably dealt a heavy blow to them. That’s why I believe they chose not to come out because they didn’t want to experience that kind of thing again, so I hope you don’t blame them.
In fact, there are several fire phoenixes roaming around, two of whom are Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie’s husbands. Even the dwarf lord, Xian Di, once met them in the middle realms. However, they have disappeared for more than a thousand years, and no one knows their whereabouts.”
Wang Jinlong and the others immediately frowned after hearing Feng Huang’s last sentence, which made them think that those fire phoenixes might have fallen into their enemies’ hands or died in their hands.
Then Feng Huang spoke to them again. “I don’t know what exactly happened to them, but I don’t think they’ll die that easily, and they might be trapped somewhere with no way to return.”
“I hope you’re right.” Wang Jinlong responded with a heavy sigh and proceeded to question Long Tianhuo. “Do these vermilion bird and lightning qilin come from the supreme realm like you?”
“Yes.” Long Tianhuo nodded his head. “The vermilion bird is Zhu Hongtao; the lightning qilin is Qi Baishi; and the flame dragon is Long Yiming. These are some of our race’s best talents, and we live in the thousand-beast realm. If you want, you can take everyone with you, especially since that place is still very wide and only beasts live there.”
“No.” Wang Jinlong immediately rejected it. “We were tasked with waiting for the return of the primordial chaos dragon, and Ling Yun is still in these upper realms now. That’s why we will wait until he is ready to go to the supreme realms, and then we will go there under his leadership.”
