Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 169 - 168: The Death of King Yu

"Since that’s the case, I will give you a little favor, just to shut you up."

As Jiang Xuan spoke, he casually waved his hand, and a strong force of law sprang from his palm, raising a massive wave as it plunged into the depths of the Yellow River.

Following a loud "boom," the earth shook and the mountains trembled. The Yellow River surged up into tremendous waves. If not for Jiang Xuan’s protection, the levees spanning tens of thousands of kilometers would have collapsed once again.

Roar~~~

Amid the shaking of the earth and mountains, the distant roar of a dragon came up from the bottom of the Yellow River.

Then, the surface of the Yellow River suddenly burst open, and a water dragon nearly a million meters in size, riding the tremendous waves, rose into the sky, continuously swirling in mid-air.

"Haha!"

"After millions of years, I’m finally free again. Si Wenming, did you ever think that the day would come when I would break free from the seal you placed on me?"

"Hmm? Where is Si Wenming’s aura? Why can’t I sense it? Has he already fallen? That can’t be right, with his status and cultivation, who in the Prehistoric World could kill him?"

"Also, why do I get the feeling that the Prehistoric World has shrunk considerably? Is it an illusion?"

"Whatever, it doesn’t matter. After being sealed by that bastard Si Wenming for so many years, my mana has long been depleted, and my strength has plummeted to its lowest point. It is more important to restore my strength first, then I will find Si Wenming for revenge."

The water dragon flew into the sky, laughing arrogantly a few times before starting to mumble to itself.

Below the water dragon, when Jiang Chen heard its mumbling, he was greatly shocked. The casual wave of his ancestor’s hand just now had released an ancient Fierce Beast that had been sealed at the bottom of the Yellow River by King Yu.

"Where are you heading, water dragon?" Seeing that the water dragon was about to leave, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help chuckling and asked.

"Who?" Hearing someone calling him, the water dragon abruptly turned its head and looked in the direction of Jiang Xuan.

Then, after getting a clear look at Jiang Xuan’s face, an expression of fear emerged from the very human-like eyes of the water dragon.

"Jiang Xuan, is it you?!"

"Dammit, why have you, this wretched star, appeared here?"

"Wait, no, did you release me? What do you want?"

Seemingly terrified of Jiang Xuan, the water dragon didn’t even think before it cried out in fear and fled into the distance without looking back.

"Stay!"

With a faint smile, Jiang Xuan extended his right arm and snapped his fingers.

Boom!

As if struck by a lightning bolt, the fleeing water dragon’s figure suddenly froze, and it tumbled from the sky.

The Awakening of Insects, one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms!

Jiang Chen recognized the Divine Ability that Jiang Xuan had used.

Shennong had observed the heavens and created the Twenty-four Solar Terms in the mid-ancient period to harmonize with Heavenly Dao and set the seasons. Once these terms were established, Heaven and Earth underwent a change. Thereafter, the operation of the heavenly bodies followed these sequence of changes.

Shennong observed these changes of Heaven and Earth. He was moved by them and integrated the mysteries contained within into his cultivation, transforming it into a Divine Ability of staggering power.

It is a study of the changing patterns of the heavens.

The Divine Ability that Jiang Xuan used was one of these.

When he pointed his finger, the wind was as swift as startled hibernating insects, as fast as thunder.

...

Whoosh~~~

In the middle of the water dragon’s fall, a large bloom of blood erupted from its forehead, transforming into a torrential rain of blood that painted the surrounding earth red.

Boom!

Following that, the body of the water dragon fell from mid-air with a crash, smashing violently into the earth and creating a giant crater millions of meters wide.

With the presence of this giant crater, no, rather a large lake, the pressure on the surroundings should be alleviated once the waters of the Yellow River overflowed.

Jiang Chen had this odd thought as he looked at the huge crater created by the water dragon’s body.

...

After hitting the ground, the water dragon didn’t die immediately and managed to gasp for one more breath. It widened its giant dragon eyes and looked at Jiang Xuan as it spoke:

"I didn’t expect that you would reach that legendary state. Cough, cough, I admit, my death is not unjust."

"However, before I die, there is still something I do not understand. Why is it that when I broke free from the seal this time, I wasn’t able to sense anything related to Si Wenming? What happened to him?"

Feeling the water dragon’s life force rapidly fading, Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and replied: "He’s dead. Not long after he sealed you all, he fell."

As if he had heard something unbelievable, the water dragon struggled fiercely. Exhausting its last breath, it suddenly lifted its head and roared at Jiang Xuan:

"How is that possible? He was so strong - who in the Prehistoric World has the power to kill him?"

"I don’t believe it!"

Seemingly lost in memories, Jiang Xuan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Humans have limitations, but the power of Heaven is infinite. King Yu tried to defy Heavens and forcefully ascended to the throne of the Emperor. But unfortunately, his Divine Abilities were no match for the Heavenly Dao."

"Despite his strength, he had to fall in the face of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao." freewёbnoνel.com

Even though King Yu was powerful, he ultimately could not defy the Heavenly Dao, hence, he died. Otherwise, with his status and strength, even a saint would not dare to harm him.

"Haha, King Yu is dead."

"Even though you were invincible in the world, you still died before me....."

Having resolved the doubt in his heart, the water dragon laughed loudly, exhausted his last breath, and his head tilted to one side. His eyes lost their luster, the death being so thorough that his soul was scattered.

Hiss~~~

On the opposite side, seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

Considering the aura of the water dragon, it was undoubtedly a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even if its aura had declined due to being sealed for millions of years, it was still a Great Luo Golden Immortal, far superior to a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But such a powerful being was killed by Jiang Xuan with a snap of his fingers. He did so thoroughly that the dragon couldn’t even reincarnate.

Although Jiang Chen knew that Jiang Xuan was very strong, he was exceptionally shocked when he witnessed this scene. If even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could be killed so casually, then how powerful is the ancestor’s strength?

Was it at the beginning of Quasi-Saint? Or even higher?

It definitely wasn’t at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Everyone who could cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal was a genius, and even if there were differences among them, they were not big enough for one to kill the other instantly.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan glanced at the body of the water dragon and suddenly turned around to instruct Jiang Chen: "Give me the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen came to his senses and hurriedly took out the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword and handed it to Jiang Xuan.

Taking the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword, Jiang Xuan held it in his hand for a moment before suddenly throwing it backward, piercing the heart of the water dragon’s corpse.

"Even though this water dragon is a common species of dragons, it is formed from the spirit of water veins, a Heavenly and Earthly Species. Its bloodline is powerful enough to match the direct descendants of the ancestral dragons."

"If it were to diligently cultivate and transform into a True Dragon form, it would not be inferior to me in future achievements."
