Chapter 0813: The Final Trial

Chapter 0813 The Last Trial

The golden dragon before them, while not a Celestial Dragon, was still incredibly powerful!

If it were a true Celestial Dragon, its power would be unimaginable!

When Qin Yun heard that the Dragon Family of Tenglongzhou possessed a Celestial Dragon, his pulse quickened.

Yang Yang, that little duck, was actually the divine beast Nine Heavens Black Sparrow. In its early stages, it needed to consume tons of high-tier beast flesh to grow rapidly.

After Mo Mo devoured a dragon, she had been sleeping ever since, evolving while she slept. Once she awoke, she would undoubtedly need to eat a ton of meat again.

Qin Yun had previously slain a dragon from the Dragon Family and collected a considerable amount of dragon meat, but it was nowhere near enough to satisfy Yang Yang.

If he could obtain the Dragon Family’s Celestial Dragon, Qin Yun wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

"Qin Yun, you’ve caused enough trouble! We will make you bow to us!" The elder finished speaking, and the golden dragon opened its jaws.

Everyone assumed the dragon would unleash an energy attack from its enormous mouth, but instead, it began inhaling!

WHOOSH—

The air screamed as countless objects on the ground were sucked toward the dragon’s yawning maw.

The massive golden dragon was inhaling everything in its path!

Large stone tiles from the plaza were suddenly ripped from the ground and swallowed by the dragon.

In the blink of an eye, the square before the entrance of Weilong Mountain Villa was reduced to rubble.

Lan Suyao held onto Qin Yun as they hung suspended, resisting the dragon’s suction force.

Meanwhile, vast amounts of soil and debris were torn up violently and pulled upward.

Before long, the plaza in front of Weilong Mountain Villa had transformed into a massive crater.

The golden dragon had devoured endless piles of earth, as if it were a bottomless pit!

Qin Yun and Lan Suyao, however, held their ground, refusing to be swallowed by the dragon despite the overwhelming force.

Weilong Mountain Villa was protected by a barrier and remained unaffected.

The three Half-Immortals standing atop the dragon’s head began to realize that Qin Yun and Lan Suyao were no pushovers.

In the past, they could effortlessly suck even Half-Immortals into the golden dragon’s belly.

The dragon’s stomach contained a pocket dimension where anyone swallowed would be imprisoned.

*"ROAR!"*

Frustrated, the golden dragon let out an enraged roar and intensified its suction force.

Qin Yun noticed that even the surrounding spiritual energy was being siphoned violently into the dragon’s maw.

Lan Suyao pulled Qin Yun along as they gradually escaped the dragon’s suction radius.

Seizing the moment, Qin Yun dumped all the captives from the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron into the second bead of the Nine Sun Divine Pendant, letting Yao Fang handle the rest—extracting Half-Immortal Life Crystals and the *Dao Pills* of Emperor Wu and Martial King.

Only the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron stood a chance against that golden dragon!

Lan Suyao's Sacred Gaze was continuously emitting blue light, but it was all absorbed by the golden dragon, preventing the power of the Sacred Gaze from coalescing.

"Qin Yun, is there a way to block that dragon's mouth?" Lan Suyao sent a mental message to Qin Yun.

"Yes!"

Qin Yun had already activated the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron precisely to block the dragon's mouth!

The golden dragon was incredibly strong, a Half-Immortal-tier beast.

The people of Tenglong State, upon learning that Lan Suyao possessed that mystical blue radiance, were extremely cautious and dared not act recklessly. They believed that constant absorption was the safest approach.

Lan Suyao, pulling Qin Yun along, had to exert tremendous force to resist the suction, draining her reserves fast.

If this continued, they would inevitably be sucked in!

Suddenly, Qin Yun deployed the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

Under his control, the cauldron swelled explosively to an enormous size.

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron was immediately sucked toward the dragon's mouth, wedging itself firmly inside.

This was something the three Half-Immortals of Tenglong State hadn’t anticipated, and the distant onlookers erupted in shocked murmurs.

Inside the golden dragon's yawning maw, the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron could clearly be seen stuck in its throat!

The Half-Immortals of Tenglong State were thrown into disarray, and at that moment, Lan Suyao shot skyward.

"Run!" one Half-Immortal shouted.

But as soon as he yelled, a pulse of azure energy instantly enveloped them.

The three fleeing Half-Immortals of Tenglong State locked in place mid-air.

Even the golden dragon was petrified by the blue light!

Qin Yun quickly shrank the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and pulled it out.

The cauldron flew out of the golden dragon's throat, rocketing upward high into the sky before its opening turned toward the dragon and expanded to titanic proportions.

With a bellow of rage, the golden dragon was sucked into the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, now vast as a peak!

The distant crowd stared, gaping in disbelief, their eyes nearly popping out.

They had previously believed Qin Yun, with his meager power level, couldn’t possibly have captured the Heavenly Dragon, the guardian of Weilong Villa.

Now, witnessing the immensely powerful golden dragon being imprisoned within the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, they were convinced Qin Yun was the one who took it!

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron gradually shrank and returned to Qin Yun's hand.

The three Half-Immortals of Tenglong State stood thunderstruck!

Though the Long Family of Tenglong State raised several dragons, most were young and immature. While they had a mighty Celestial Dragon, it was infamously standoffish and rarely intervened in conflicts.

This golden dragon was the only one they could field in combat—yet now, Qin Yun had taken it!

Qin Yun himself was surprised—the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron was so insatiable that it had actually swallowed a golden dragon whole!

It also became clear to him why a dragon had fought so fiercely to stop others from claiming the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron when it first appeared.

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron was simply too fearsome—it utterly dominated even the mightiest dragons!

The three Half-Immortals of Tenglongzhou seethed with fury and despair, but their bodies were immobilized by the blue light.

With the golden dragon now in his grasp, Qin Yun’s morale soared. He lunged forward, cutting down the three Half-Immortals in a flurry of blows and then collecting their corpses.

No one understood why Qin Yun kept the corpses, but they admired his ruthless efficiency.

The Half-Immortals sent as reinforcements from Tenglongzhou and the mighty golden dragon had both been defeated!

The entire Weilong Mountain Villa was gripped by sheer terror.

The villa shuddered violently as its protective barrier was breached.

The moment the barrier fell, the crowd scattered like panicked rats, fleeing in all directions.

Within seconds, the opulent, centuries-old villa stood empty, with everyone inside having fled.

The spectators watched in awe, murmuring in disbelief, never expecting to see the downfall of the Long family of Aoxingzhou with their own eyes.

Their eyes locked onto Qin Yun and Lan Suyao hovering above; they could only feel that the pair was mysterious and terrifying.

Lan Suyao, in particular, unnerved them—she’d hardly uttered a word, but her sapphire-blue eyes possessed a Heaven-Defying power that rendered people immobile.

Qin Yun’s gaze swept over the abandoned villa below, and he sighed inwardly, for he had failed to reclaim Long Qiaofeng’s martial soul.

Long Qiaofeng’s dragon martial soul, etched with ancient draconic sigils, was an incredibly precious martial soul—but it had already been sent to the Long family of Tenglongzhou!

Fortunately, Lan Suyao was also heading to Tenglongzhou!

Knowing Lan Suyao would be at his side eased Qin Yun’s worries. After all, her formidable blue holy pupils could rival many Half-Immortals!

Without warning, Lan Suyao’s face went pale.

"Queen Suyao, what’s wrong?" Qin Yun asked.

"Trouble," Lan Suyao hissed. "Go—now!"

"I won’t!" Qin Yun replied urgently. "What kind of trouble? Who in the Spirit Wasteland could possibly threaten you?"

"My tribulation approaches," Lan Suyao whispered, her voice icy. "My seventh tribulation—the Heaven-Defying Tribulation!"

Qin Yun’s blood ran cold. The seventh tribulation meant that once she overcame it, she would ascend to the Immortal Wasteland.

"But Queen Suyao—what about Tenglongzhou?" Qin Yun couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

"I don’t know," Lan Suyao murmured, her eyes fixed on the heavens. "I’m sorry!"

Qin Yun recalled the time he had forged the Dao Lord Rune Soul, which had also seemingly triggered the Heaven-Defying Tribulation.

He mentally reached out to Yao Fang within the Nine Sun Divine Pendant’s third bead: "Sister Yao Fang, Lan Suyao’s Heaven-Defying Tribulation is coming. Can she take shelter with you?"

"No! The tribulation will shift to you! In your state, the Heaven-Defying Tribulation would annihilate you!" Yao Fang exclaimed in alarm. "Get away from her, now!"

"Then why did the Dao Lord Rune Soul—?" Qin Yun asked.

"Lan Suyao is flesh and blood! The Rune Soul was just a spirit! A soul’s tribulation is a shadow of the real thing!" Yao Fang urged. "Get away from her NOW!"

Lan Suyao swiftly seized Qin Yun and released an overwhelming surge of power, flinging him to safety.

At the same time, a churning sea of ink-black clouds suddenly appeared in the sky!

KABOOM!

A wrathful bolt of lightning, seething with malice and as vast as a mountain, descended, enveloping Lan Suyao.

The other Half-Immortals went ghostly white with fear at the sight.

"Qin Yun, run!" Jian Shitian yanked Qin Yun forward, bolting away with Jian Nanhu in tow.

"It's the Heaven-Defying Tribulation—haul ass!"

"That damned woman! Why did she roam freely when she was about to face her tribulation? She’ll get people killed!"

"Did you see that? Those Half-Immortals looked like they were shaking in their boots—they seemed even more terrified than us!"

"You don’t understand. Those Half-Immortals have been suppressing their cultivation to avoid triggering their own tribulations. But now, being so close to the Heaven-Defying Tribulation, they could easily provoke their own calamities!"

As the crowd fled, they couldn’t help but glance back.

The land was now swallowed by darkness.

Yet where Lan Suyao stood, the torrents of azure lightning resembled a roaring waterfall, unleashing devastating blasts that shattered mountains large and small in the vicinity.

The dense, colossal bolts of lightning, saturated with death and destruction, crashed down with such fury that it seemed they would split the world asunder—utterly terrifying!

The Half-Immortals and Emperor Wu in the distance, sensing the horrifying energy, quaked in their armor, their hearts pounding wildly.

This was the power of the Seventh Tribulation!

"Too terrifying… That woman is actually holding on until now!"

"If it were me, I’d be vaporized on the spot!"

"Will the Heaven-Defying Tribulation not disperse unless she dies?"

"I was planning to face my Second Tribulation soon, but now I think I’m tapping out!"

Several Half-Immortals watched the distant flashes of blue lightning with dread, murmuring in horrified reverence.

Lan Suyao could no longer accompany Qin Yun to Tenglongzhou. Though he was somewhat bummed, his greater concern now was her safety.

Clenching his fists, Qin Yun gazed at the apocalyptic storm of judgment in the distance and thought, *"As long as she’s alright! Even without her, I can still go to the Long Family in Tenglongzhou myself, retrieve Qiao Feng’s martial soul, and find a way to break the curse!"*
