Chapter 453: Chapter 347: Refining Dragon Prison_2
Li Cheng remained seated, withdrew his gaze, and shook his head slightly, “Just a weakling.”
Ao Qianchi was astonished. The Ninth Prince was the pride of the Dragon Clan in combat, yet in Li Cheng’s eyes, he was just a weakling?
“Weakling? Li Cheng, you had your way but chose to stir up trouble in our Dragon Clan?” The Ninth Prince’s furious shout came from the sky, and in the next moment, his figure appeared ten yards away from Li Cheng.
Li Cheng glanced at the Ninth Prince, “Don’t get excited. With your strength, I can’t even muster the desire to fight. I’m here to see Uncle Master Dragon Emperor.”
The Ninth Prince’s face instantly turned gloomy. He could sense that Li Cheng was also at the early stage of the Divine Venerable Realm. To be of the same realm, yet for Li Cheng to say he couldn’t arouse his desire to fight?
This was an utter disgrace!
“You’re seeking death!”
The Ninth Prince bellowed furiously, hurling a Dragon Fist at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng raised his hand and casually met the Ninth Prince’s fist with a palm. It seemed effortless, but when palm met fist, the Ninth Prince was sent flying backwards!
After flying backward for several miles, the Ninth Prince struggled to stabilize himself. When he turned his head to look, he found that his right arm was gone!
His entire right arm had been completely blasted into ash!
The Ninth Prince’s eyes widened in disbelief, “This is impossible!”
The physical bodies of the Dragon Clan are known to be powerful in the Divine Realm, and being from the Dragon Emperor Clan, he was considered among the best. Yet, he was so miserably defeated by a human of the same realm?
For a moment, the Ninth Prince felt utterly disheartened. His greatest pride crumbled so easily before a member of the Human Tribe!
Li Cheng did not pursue the attack, and indifferently said, “Take me to Uncle Master Dragon Emperor.”
The Ninth Prince slowly lifted his head, his right arm regrowing. Yet in his eyes, a murderous intent was spreading, “Are you begging me? If you’re asking for a favor, act like it!”
Li Cheng snorted with laughter, “I am commanding you!”
Murderous intent surged even more in the Ninth Prince as he stepped forward, the Dragon Ball of the Golden Dragon King appearing in his palm.
“Your Highness, perhaps we should ask…”
The Golden Dragon King’s words had barely left his lips when the Ninth Prince crushed them casually, scattering his soul.
“Li Cheng, it was one thing for you to cause trouble in our Dragon Clan, but to kill my Golden Dragon King, today, you will die!”
The Ninth Prince roared furiously, his voice echoing through heaven and earth, traveling far and wide.
Ao Qianchi’s pupils constricted, “Ninth Prince, it was clearly you who killed the Golden Dragon King, yet you frame Li Cheng!”
Just destroying the Golden Dragon King’s physical body still left room for maneuver, but if it was confirmed that he’d killed the Golden Dragon King, there would be no turning back.
Moreover, this was Dragon Island, and to kill a Divine King Realm Divine Dragon of the Dragon Clan here was to utterly offend the Dragon Clan!
To the surprise of both the Ninth Prince and Ao Qianchi, Li Cheng’s expression remained calm, as if he wasn’t the least bit concerned about being framed by the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince sneered coldly and bellowed, “Where are the Divine Venerables of the clan? Won’t you show yourselves and help this prince capture this man?”
Instantly, over twenty powerful presences converged from all directions!
Those twenty or so individuals were all Divine Venerables!
“Divine Venerables are no use, nor are Pseudo Divine Emperors. You should have called for a Divine Emperor directly. That might have made me somewhat wary,” Li Cheng said calmly.
The muscles on the Ninth Prince’s face twitched, “Such arrogance!”
Li Cheng smiled, and as he raised his hand, the Space Law swept out, the approaching twenty or so Divine Venerables suddenly suppressed by the power of space. Frozen within the space as if immobilized, each one was unable to move, caught in their charging postures and falling to the ground nearby.
To restrain over twenty Divine Venerables with such ease was a sight that caused the Ninth Prince’s face to change dramatically.
Within the same realm, he had never seen such terrifying strength!
It might indeed be necessary to call for a Divine Emperor-level Divine Dragon!
But before he could further contemplate, a sudden tightness enveloped him, and he was restrained by Li Cheng as well!
Li Cheng reached out and grabbed the Ninth Prince, pulling him forward, “Where is Uncle Master Dragon Emperor?”
“You’ll never get anything out of me, kill me if you have the guts!” the Ninth Prince said sternly.
“Stubborn!”
Li Cheng’s expression remained indifferent as he pressed down with a hand, the Ninth Prince’s body began to crumble inch by inch, “If you lose your physical form completely, you’ll certainly fall from the Divine Venerable Realm. Speak now while you still can.”
The Ninth Prince’s face turned pale with fear, “Stop!”
He had never expected that even his identity as a prince would not be enough to make Li Cheng wary!
Li Cheng stopped, staring quietly at the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince clenched his teeth and said, “He’s in the Refining Dragon Prison!”
“Refining Dragon Prison? What place is that?” Li Cheng continued to ask.
Ao Qianchi’s expression changed slightly by the side, “Refining Dragon Prison, the place where traitors of the Dragon Clan are punished. Only half of those who are sent there come out alive, and even if they survive, their cultivation levels drop drastically, and they might even lose all their cultivation.”
Li Cheng’s expression was no longer calm, his face gradually showing a layer of frost as he looked toward the Ninth Prince, “I remember warning you, should my Uncle Master sustain the slightest injury, I will one day shatter Dragon Island!”
Feeling Li Cheng’s killing intent, the Ninth Prince’s complexion drastically changed, and he said through gritted teeth, “It’s not my fault, he betrayed the Dragon Clan on his own terms…”
Boom!
The Ninth Prince’s physical body was completely crushed by the power of the Space Law wielded by Li Cheng, leaving behind only his Dragon Ball and dragon soul.
“You’d better hope my Uncle Master is unharmed, otherwise, you will be the first to die!”
Having said that, Li Cheng looked toward Ao Qianchi, “Senior Ao, please take me to Refining Dragon Prison.”
Ao Qianchi did not hesitate, nodded and took to the air with Li Cheng, “Li Cheng, who is this Uncle Master Dragon Emperor you speak of?”
“Remember the top ten extraordinary figures of the Kunlun Realm? The Dragon Emperor ranked seventh!”
Ao Qianchi’s eyes showed surprise, “Ao Cang, senior?”
It was the first time Li Cheng heard the true name of the Dragon Emperor and he nodded slightly, “Back when the Evil Demons caused chaos, Uncle Master Dragon Emperor rushed to Land Puppet Mansion to assist, but was then brought back by this scoundrel.”
Ao Qianchi looked at the orb in Li Cheng’s palm, which contained more than twenty Divine Venerables, including the Ninth Prince.
“Don’t be hasty, Refining Dragon Prison is not far away, let’s have a look first,” Ao Qianchi said.
A short while later, the two arrived in front of a vast Heaven Pond, and Ao Qianchi said, “Below this lies the Refining Dragon Prison. It’s said to be bottomless, a world unto itself full of dangers. Surviving there is a mere fifty-fifty chance.”
“You could say that Refining Dragon Prison is a place of certain death; no one comes near it under normal circumstances.”
Li Cheng understood that such a perilous place was naturally avoided by the Dragon Clan members, so why would anyone come here to investigate?
“Fellow Daoist, if you want to go in, then go by yourself. Don’t drag us in with you, alright?” someone spoke up from within the orb in his palm.
Li Cheng looked into the distance and sensed several powerful auras approaching.
Having suppressed so many Divine Venerables, it was certain the Dragon Clan would be aware, so Li Cheng was not surprised.
But finding the Dragon Emperor was of utmost importance; Li Cheng casually stored the orb in the Divine World and said to Ao Qianchi, “Senior Ao, I’ll go down and take a look. You should enter my Divine World first!”
Ao Qianchi quickly shook his head, “Although my cultivation is humble, I am not so timid as to shy away from danger. I will brave the Refining Dragon Prison!”
Li Cheng smiled without objection, enshrouded both of them in divine power, and leaped into the Heaven Pond.
Upon entering the pond, the calm waters seemed to possess infinite suction, pulling them rapidly downward.
After sinking for a thousand miles, the water vanished, and the two found themselves in a dark red world.
“It really hides a universe within!” exclaimed Ao Qianchi as he surveyed the surroundings and then looked up at the giant water mirror a kilometer across above them.
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, “The Laws here are somewhat peculiar, the Killing Law, Dark Law, and Law of Death are unusually active, as if suppressing something.”
“What’s the history behind this Refining Dragon Prison?” Li Cheng asked again.
Ao Qianchi shook his head, “That, I do not know. I’ve not been on Dragon Island for long, and I’ve only heard that this place is specifically used to punish traitors of the Dragon Clan. Any Dragon Clan member that survives leaving here would be considered to have atoned for their transgressions.”
Li Cheng pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes to sense carefully. Pointing to one side, he said, “The Laws are most active over there. Let’s go!”
Taking Ao Qianchi with him, Li Cheng sped off.
After flying for a while, Li Cheng came across a dragon corpse.
The dragon corpse was suppressed by a mysterious force and was only about a hundred meters in size; it was unclear how many years it had been dead, its flesh and blood completely vanished.
After inspecting for a moment, Ao Qianchi frowned, “Why does it look like it’s been drained of its flesh and blood?”
“It’s not just an appearance, it’s exactly that!” Li Cheng’s face also grew solemn.
Ao Qianchi was astonished, “Did you notice anything else?”
Li Cheng looked into the distance, “This Refining Dragon Prison, is not simple at all!”
While speaking, Li Cheng took out the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod and the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod. He managed to keep them from merging, but both tripods trembled violently, trying to break free from Li Cheng’s control and fly forward.
