Chapter 778 – Dragon Soul

Qin Yu closed his eyes, his mind condensed into a point. The highly concentrated degree of his mental state made his perception incomparably sharp. Then, according to the method the Ancient taught him, he found the power hidden deep below the arena. It was like a rock beneath the sea, slowly rising up to the surface.

Hou –

A loud roar entered his mind. Qin Yu’s surroundings suddenly changed as his mind went somewhere else. He found that he was in a grand underground palace buried deep below the earth. A giant blue altar stood in front of him, emitting a pale light. Countless runes flowed across its surface. Then, these runes rushed out in all directions, covering every inch of the underground palace.

The function of these runes was to isolate and imprison, and their target was the massive sleeping dragon on the side of the altar. Its body was so large that even if it were folded up countless times it would occupy the entire altar. At first glance, all one could see were massive black scales that looked like lines of bulging rocks.

At this time, the great dragon’s eyes suddenly opened. With loud and harsh rustling sounds of scales rubbing on scales, the great dragon slowly stretched out its body and its giant head rose up. Its deep blue eyes were like the endless sea. It stared tightly at Qin Yu, as if thoroughly drowning him.

If it weren’t for the fact that Qin Yu had learnt the details about this great dragon from the Ancient, then he would never have been able to tell that this was only a formidable dragon soul with no physical body of its own. To be able to condense a body that was almost the same as tangible substance, the soul force of this great dragon’s soul had surpassed Qin Yu’s understanding.

When the great dragon’s eyes locked onto him, Qin Yu felt as if a mountain had fallen upon his shoulders. He was pressed down so hard that he nearly exploded and he was unable to move at all. Without daring to delay, he immediately released the Ancient race’s aura from his body. On the altar, the great dragon’s eyes revealed a look of excitement.

“For countless years, the long and deep slumber nearly made me forget what the concept of time was. But now you have finally arrived…the clansman that my master determined would arrive.” The great dragon’s deep voice echoed through the underground palace, like endless peals of thunder.

The suppression that Qin Yu withstood instantly vanished. He took a deep breath and said, “Now, I need your help.”

The great dragon looked down. “Although you are stained with the aura of my master, if you want my help, you need to have my master’s mark.”

Qin Yu lifted a hand and spread his fingers. A dragon claw marking, one that was reduced numerous times over, appeared on his palm, flashing with a faint light.

The great dragon nodded. “That is my master’s mark. You have the strength to temporarily open the altar. What needs to be done? Tell me.”

The arena.

Standing high above, Qin Yu opened his eyes. His stretched out arms slowly rose up. Although the speed was slow, it had the pressure and dignity of a thousand soldiers. At this moment, his actions attracted the attention of the entire audience. Countless cultivators revealed looks of surprise, but there were even more that couldn’t hide their disdain.

The blood red face that arrived was a terrifying strength that originated from beyond their world. According to people’s guesses, it likely came from the abyss and was either a Great Lord or Imperator level existence.

This sort of existence could cause the heavens to collapse, the earth to sunder, and endless creatures to perish with a single thought. Even if this was only a projection, it was impossible to resist.

Unless this black-robed cultivator was a legendary super powerhouse that had truly stepped into the Divine Dao and had even condensed his godhead, there was no other way he could change the outcome.

But was this possible? It was clearly wishful thinking.

The puppet cultivator from the Dark Parliament felt his heart skip a beat. A dignified look crossed his face. He thought back to their previous confrontations with Qin Yu. Qin Yu was someone who had always been able to change their impression of him each time. He was like a mountain hidden deep in the fog; it was impossible to see how high it was.

Could he also reverse this situation? No, no, that was impossible. Even if the Dark Parliament’s seven Senators all came here personally and each one of them released their greatest hidden cards, they could only just contend with this blood red face.

If Qin Yu could achieve this by himself…then his danger level would immediately be moved to the highest rank without hesitation. There would only be one path left in front of the Dark Parliament to deal with him – they would have to bring about his complete ruin!

Otherwise, such a terrifying and mysterious enemy would likely bring unimaginable disaster to the Dark Parliament in the future.

“I hope I am just overthinking things…” The Sage-controlled puppet whispered.

But now that Qin Yu had obtained the help of the
