Chapter 0828: Opening of the Dragonbreath Pool

On the side of Dragon Blood Mountain.

Anyone standing here would have a majestic view of numerous peaks rising high up from the ground. They connected to each other side by side in a ring, forming an enormous pit that protruded from the ground.

The pit contained a dense, pale, red mist, and worldly natural energy continuously flowed into the area. Deeper in, there seemed to be a faint and low draconic roar resounding between the heavens and earth, causing the void to vibrate slightly.

Gradually, the mysterious air permeated across the area.

This was where the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool was located.

At this moment, the five Lineage Chiefs made their way to a flat platform on a mountaintop with the distinguished guests. It was a lively area as they sat on their stone chairs with antic.i.p.ation.

Li Luo, Li Qingfeng, and the other Banner Leaders from the Twenty Banners had already gone over to the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool. Their banner members stood behind them with a raging fighting spirit in their eyes.

Although the main prize in the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool battle would go to the Banner Leader only, the members would still be rewarded if their Banner Leader emerged victorious. This was enough of an encouragement to them as they cheered for their respective Banner Leaders.

However, this Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool battle was slightly different from the past.

As the various banner members looked over to the right with strange gazes, they could see thousands of figures on a platform. They were all clad in crimson armor carved with a flaming lotus.

Those guys were from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing. They were the Fire Lotus Camp.

In front of the Fire Lotus Camp stood an enchanting and graceful figure. As the wind blew in with the mist, her black hair danced in the air and her long skirt highlighted the perfect and exquisite curves of her delicate body. Without a doubt, this unbelievable charm made many of the Twenty Banners members' hearts beat faster.

This figure was none other than the leader of the Fire Lotus Camp, Qin Yi.

In other words, this battle consisted of not only the Twenty Banners, but an external guest as well.

Despite her alluring beauty, they all knew that she was a ferocious tiger.

It was said that the Fire Lotus Camp had never lost a single battle since Qin Yi took the helm. Rather, the other twenty two camps from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing had all fallen against them. As such, all the Banner Leaders from the Twenty Banners, including Li Qingfeng, felt a sense of danger in their hearts even as they watched her enchanting figure i.

There was no doubt about Qin Yi's talent. Her ninth-grade water resonance, coupled with the huge amount of resources from the Fire Lotus Hall, would undoubtedly speed up her cultivation pace a thousand times. It was like adding wings to a tiger.

Having to face an opponent like Qin Yi, even the confident Li Qingfeng started to doubt himself.

As such, the addition of Qin Yi had definitely added many more variables into the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool battle.

Li Luo was also looking at Qin Yi, but his face was without much expression. He remained calm as having her around was actually a good thing for him. This would create more chaos during the battle, which would in turn also give him more opportunities. After all, his minimum goal was to obtain at least one bronze dragon pillar.

As for the sole golden dragon pillar, he was not aiming for it at all. After all, there were too many people eyeing it. If he coveted it with his current strength, he might become everyone’s target and end up with nothing. As Li Luo was thinking about all this, an administrator stepped forward on the high platform. He raised the golden dragon flag in his hand high into the air and waved it down firmly.

When the golden dragon flag swung down, the twenty-one partic.i.p.ants in the field activated Harmony instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the energy level in the area surged as though a tsunami of power had flooded the air above.

In the next moment, these majestic energies whizzed down into the bodies of the contestants below, and they were slowly lifted into the air. Wave after wave of extremely violent energy pulses started to spread out.

At the same time, a terrifying energy pressure erupted, causing thunderstorms to form between the heavens and earth.

The pressure from the contestants was so great that it had reached Duke levels of power now.

It was as if there were twenty-one Dukes present.

This won the praises of many guests. After all, this was the foundation for a Heavenly Emperor power. Using a special method to gather the energy, these Earth Fiend Stage cultivators had managed to obtain the power of the Duke Stage.

Of course, their Duke-level power was kind of fake. Although they seemed as strong as someone at the Duke Stage, they did not possess the expertise and intricacies of a true Duke.

For example, the real power of dual resonances. "Oh, this generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li is not bad. Based on their energy level, these Banner Leaders have attained quasi-Duke Stage strength using Harmony."

"Based on the energy pulses, Lu Qingmei, Li Hongli, and Li Qingfeng are as powerful as first-grade Dukes."

"Li Qingfeng seems to be stronger. It feels like he is equal to an upper first-grade Duke. I guess he's getting the golden dragon pillar."

"Without Qin Yi around, the golden pillar would almost certainly go to Li Qingfeng."

"Yes, the beloved daughter of Hall Master Qin Lian is extraordinary indeed. From what I see, the energy pulses from her are the most dominant amongst everyone in the field, perhaps only Li Qingfeng's side can compete with her."

"Surely the golden dragon pillar is not falling into the hands of an outsider, right?"

There were many whispers amongst the guests, who were all considered the top talents in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. They all wielded respectable strength and were mostly in the Duke Stage. As such, they could grasp the power of the twenty-one contestants present with just a quick glance.

As Li Luo hovered in the air, he was also a.n.a.lyzing the strength of the other Banner Leaders. Everyone was pulsing with energy waves, making it an extremely grand sight.

"With the power of the Green Nether Banner's Harmony, I should have roughly lower first-grade Duke strength. However, I am still slightly weaker than Lu Qingmei, Li Hongli, and the rest," Li Luo muttered to himself as he observed the energy pulses of the others. He should be average to above average among the Twenty Banners now, but still below Lu Qingmei and the top few Banner Leaders by quite a bit.

This was actually within his expectations. After all, the Green Nether Banner was really weak before. With slower progress in the Fiendish Devil Cave, they were naturally less motivated in their training and cultivation, resulting in them lagging behind others.

Of course, the most important factor was that their Banner Leader was only at the Greater Fiend Palace Tier.

In contrast, Lu Qingmei, Li Hongli, and group had long reached the Fiend Finisher Tier.

Without the help of Harmony to narrow the gap in strength, Li Luo felt that he would stand little chance in a matchup against them now.

At this moment, he turned his gaze over to Qin Yi's location. He squinted a little as he felt a tremendous sense of pressure coming from her energy undulations.

This was even stronger than the pressure he felt from Li Qingfeng's side.

As Li Luo was sizing her up, Qin Yi seemed to have noticed him and looked over with her icy gaze. Their eyes met for a moment.

With a warm smile on his face, Li Luo said, "Miss Qin Yi, your strength is impressive. You must be going straight for the golden dragon pillar. With his great hospitality, perhaps Banner Leader Li Qingfeng will take a step back and hand it over to you."

A short distance away, Li Qingfeng's face twitched a little when she heard his words. Although he had indeed been very polite towards Qin Yi, how would he dare to hand over the golden dragon pillar to Qin Yi under such circ.u.mstances? Wouldn't this make the Dragon's Blood Lineage lose face? The elders were bound to give him a lecture afterwards.

As such, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Banner Leader Li Luo, stop spouting nonsense. With the power Miss Qin Yi wields, she will naturally grab it herself if she wants it. Why would she want anyone to hand it over to her?"

Li Luo laughed a little as he responded, "In that case, we'll have to see who's more capable and can obtain the golden dragon pillar in the end."

As soon as his sentence ended, a flash of anger flashed across Li Qingfeng's eyes. Li Luo was indeed cunning. He had set up a trap for him beforehand and lured him into opposing Qin Yi directly.

Nonetheless, there was no way for him to deny it. There was no way in h.e.l.l he was handing over the golden dragon pillar to anyone else.

On the other hand, Qin Yi was nonchalant towards Li Luo's words, as if she did not know about his sly intentions. Instead, she told him leisurely, "Banner Leader Li Luo, you are very eloquent. However, I am looking forward to seeing your performance today. I hope you will not disappoint me too much."

Li Luo smiled back in response, but he scolded her in his heart. This woman was really out to get him. At this juncture, the officer on the platform waved the golden dragon flag again and shouted loudly, "Banner Leaders, let's enter the pool!"

After he spoke, the twenty-one faux Duke Stage compet.i.tors who had already primed themselves summoned up their ma.s.sive amounts of energy and rushed into the mysterious, giant pit filled with mist below.
