Necropolis Immortal

Bam!

Dragonling-like radiance streamed out of the ring when it crashed against his head and darted into Xie Tianxun’s body through his crown. A massive golden net extended out of the ring, connecting to the radiance that’d burrowed into his body and enveloped him in less than three breaths. The ring’s physical form appeared on Xie Tianxun’s neck like a collar.

“So you’re just another rotten inside underneath a pretty face. I thought I’d need to expend some effort and tactics to capture you. Who would’ve thought that it’d be this easy?” Contempt quirked Ao Quan’s lips to see the sight.

“That’s it?” Xie Tianxun snorted at the golden net wrapped around him. “I thought much more of the Dragon Dominance Ring. After all, it’s a legendary treasure that makes all of the worlds tremble with fear.”

Craaaack.

A sharp crack rang out; the golden net around Xie Tianxun fell apart.

“What?!” Ao Quan jumped with shock and he roared, “Men, act fast! Take him!”

How was breaking free still possible after one was caught by the Dragon Dominance Ring?? It was a tool to capture prey. While there might be misses or failures due to the prey struggling, the result was undeniable after it fastened onto the target. The ring took root in the subject and freedom was impossible after that step.

Xie Tianxun had proven different! This was something that Ao Quan had never fathomed!

His men rushed over, wanting to recapture Xie Tianxun before he completely regained his freedom.

Hummm.

A formless ripple oscillated from Moran Dongning’s foot as she stepped forward. She casually sent the charging dragon experts flying.

“This is a matter between the two of them. I’ll kill whoever dares interfere,” she announced coldly. “Others might be afraid of the dragons, but I, Moran Dongning, am not.”

Craaaack.

The net around Xie Tianxun fully crumbled away and the Dragon Dominance Ring disengaged from his neck, falling into his hand.

“Hmmph, that’s all there is to it?” He carefully studied the ring before tossing it into his storage seed.

Ao Quan’s expression twisted and he stretched out his hand, clenching at empty air. Golden light blossomed as a golden spear undulating with watery ripples appeared in his hand. He wasted no effort on further discourse before he charged Xie Tianxun.

The latter solemnly regarded his opponent. He would’ve left without another thought if things were as they were before. But his previous self could not be compared to who he was today—someone who’d truly come into his own.

Boom!

Rays of immortal light rained down and immortal radiance danced through the air, forming a white longsword in Xie Tianxun’s hand.

……

The two dueled for three days straight in Nihil Homeland, ultimately resulting in Xie Tianxun barely winning out by one move. Just as Ao Quan was about to fall in defeat, a golden painting scroll unfurled from his body and shifted into a golden dragon that knocked Xie Tianxun back.

“The Golden Dragon King!” Moran Dongning stepped up with a solemn expression and shielded Xie Tianxun with her body.

“Moran Dongning, you have been struck from the rosters of your clan. No one wants you—you are no longer a Moran.” A projection of the dragon king looked remotely at Moran Dongning. “Before I came, one of your elders wished for me to convey that if you continue to use the Moran name to stir up trouble, he will kill you with his own hands.”

“Teehehehehe!!” Moran Dongning giggled delightfully when she heard this. “An elder? You mean that old thing Moran Tong, don’t you?

“Since he had you bring a warning, did he tell you that I’m the fourth spacetime traveler?” She grinned with cruel amusement.

“What?!” The projection wavered and the dragon king backed up, putting Ao Quan behind him. The latter was as white as a sheet.

The fourth spacetime traveler!

Chen Xiao and Qing Buyi were already turning the chief worlds upside down. Although Qing Buyi trespassed on Moran territory when he hunted the Nebula Supreme, only Moran Xuhua had dared say anything. Even then, the genius had quickly slunk back after two complaints. No one else from the clan had so much as waggled their finger.

The third spacetime traveler was even more incomprehensible. Lu Feng had risen to prominence with the Lifeline Talisman and no one dared offend him. Rumor had it that not even Yun Yi dared take him to task for scamming three of his concubines.

Moran Dongning is the fourth spacetime traveler??

Ao Quan felt like he’d rammed his head against a boulder. His father’s projection was no match for a spacetime traveler! While these travelers might not be willing to offend the entire dragon race, they would be perfectly happy to antagonize the golden dragons. The azure dragons would absolutely help the spacetime travelers eliminate a thorn in their side.

“Hand over Chu Xingran. You can have Nihil Homeland in return.” Certain things seemed to be weighing on Moran Dongning’s mind and she didn’t wish to be entangled with the Golden Dragon King.

The king swiftly understood—Moran Dongning had left her clan for various reasons and was concerned that the Moran Clan would ally with the golden dragons.

“That can be done,” Ao Quan hastily agreed and waved to his men.

“It’s just a replica, who cares if they have it?” Chu Xingran emerged completely unbothered by his brief captivity. “I wanted to figure out how the Golden Dragon King got here.”

Moran Dongning’s face stiffened with awkwardness. That’s true, everyone had overlooked the fact that this was Chu Xingran’s Poison King replica. No wonder he hadn’t resisted when he was manhandled.

Ao Quan’s expression was likewise frozen. His father’s will wasn’t here through a dao palace. They’d used another method that was nearly exposed to Chu Xingran.

But to the Golden Dragon King and Ao Quan, gaining Nihil Homeland meant they had a place of their own in the Land of Reincarnation. It was a place to launch the rest of their operations. Nothing else mattered.
