Heavenly Jewel Change Volume 7 (Chapter 208-Chapter 258)

The Water Elder lifted up his hand, unleashing a streak of black light that bound into the depths. Moments later a low draconic roar rang out from below them, then began to rise upwards. The atmospheric energies around them instantly began to grow restless.

The Elders of Xuantian Palace all grew solemn, their faces filled with respect. Less than ten seconds later, the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s vast body suddenly shot into the skies above them. Its vast wings looked like giant black stormclouds, propelling its great body into the skies. It circled around the people present, then gradually descended before them.

The Xuantian Palace Lord led everyone in calling out loudly, “Greetings, Lord Demon Dragon.”

“Mm.” The Tenebrous Demon Dragon let out a snort, its enormous draconic eyes actually focusing on Zhou Weiqing. It nodded at him briefly, then said in a thunderous voice, “All of you, climb aboard.”

“Understood,” the Xuantian Palace Lord said, then led the others in vaulting onto the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s back.

Zhou Weiqing, however, discovered that not all the Elders boarded the dragon. Only six of the twelve Heavenly Kings boarded, with the other six remaining in front of Xuantian Palace. Clearly, they were going to stay behind and stand guard.

Although Zhou Weiqing felt surprised, he didn’t reveal it. He just turned to glance at Shangguan Bing’er, giving her a look.

Zhou Weiqing had originally judged that given how powerful the Terror Sea Dragon was, Xuantian Palace would send out all of its forces to fight it. Xuantian Palace didn’t have any foes in the Xuantian Continent, after all; it didn’t need too many powerhouses to defend its home. If this was the case, then once Zhou Weiqing acquired the Spatial Teleportation Gem he would immediately notify Shangguan Bing’er. If she wanted to leave, the remaining guards would be hard-pressed to stop her. However, now the situation was different. There were six Heavenly King powerhouses standing guard. Given her cultivation base, even with her Wings of the Wind God it would still be rather hard for her to escape. Zhou Weiqing’s glance was meant to tell her to be careful.

Shangguan Bing’er nodded casually.

Although Xuantian Palace hadn’t fully mobilized, they had definitely unleashed the brunt of their power. Xuantian Palace Lord Dong Fang led this squad, which included three God Tier Consolidating Equipment Masters (including Zhou Weiqing), four Grand Elders, and six ordinary Elders. The fourteen of them, when matched with the Heavenly God Tenebrous Demon Dragon, definitely constituted over 90% of Xuantian Palace’s full power.

The Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s body was more than large enough to seat ten-plus people without anyone feeling cramped for space. It beat its enormous wings, instantly sending itself soaring into the western skies.

Although this wasn’t the first time Zhou Weiqing had seen a great dragon, this was his first time riding on a great dragon’s back. The Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s back was covered with many protruding ridges, with just enough space for each of them to sit between the ridges. Given their respective cultivation bases, they were able to remain seated quite stably atop the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s back.

This was the first time Zhou Weiqing had been in such close proximity to a Heavenly God powerhouse. As the Tenebrous Demon Dragon soared into the skies, his heart was filled with awe.

As the Tenebrous Demon Dragon soared upwards, it became surrounded with many dark storm clouds. Zhou Weiqing was able to use the powerful sensing abilities granted by his Saint Energy to clearly discern that the clouds were naturally generated within the atmosphere, rather than summoned by the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s power.

Of course, these were not real ‘storm clouds’. Instead, it was pure Darkness Attribute energy mixed with Evil Attribute energy, which formed Tenebrous Demon Clouds which materialized due to the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s natural energies. It was as though this vast dragon had become the absolute hegemon of the world around it.

As for the wind? They could only support the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s great bulk, not resist it or blow against it in the slightest.

This was what truly mighty power was like! Even though the Tenebrous Demon Dragon was carrying at least six Heavenly Emperors on its back, Dreamwake included, Zhou Weiqing could clearly sense that before a Heavenly God, Heavenly Emperors were like children who had just learned how to walk. All of them combined wouldn’t be a match for this Tenebrous Demon Dragon.





Chapter 248: Dragon Claws… (3)


No wonder Xuantian Palace was so terrified of the Terror Sea Dragon and needed to make such lengthy preparations. The Tenebrous Demon Dragon was already horrifyingly strong, and the Terror Sea Dragon was probably even above it in cultivation! They would also be fighting it in its chosen environment, the sea. No one who didn’t personally witness it in action would understand how powerful it was.

Zhou Weiqing’s cultivation level was the lowest of the group, and so he was located right in the middle of the Tenebrous Demon Dragon’s back. In front of him was Palace Lord Dong Fang and Dreamwake, and by accident or design Dreamwake was less than a meter away from him.

Viewing this dazzling woman from behind was quite a pleasing sight. Dreamwake was a classic beauty, with slender shoulders and long, neat black hair which cascaded down her back like a waterfall. As the wind blew past them, her long hair would quietly drift upwards to reveal her fine waist, as well as the round and firm arcs which jutted out below her waist.

Firm and perky! He hadn’t noticed before, but her backside was quite intoxicating as well. Zhou Weiqing unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Right at this moment, Dreamwake’s icy voice rang into his mind: “If you keep staring at me with those filthy eyes of yours, I’ll tear them out.”

Zhou Weiqing lowered his head in resignation. Fine, fine. I won’t stare. Every so often though, he did sneak a peek. Thankfully, Dreamwake didn’t actually attack him.

The Tenebrous Demon Dragon flew with astonishing speed. Even though they were high in the air, none of them were able to make out the scenery below with clarity.

The dense tenebrous demon clouds around them blocked out the warmth of the sunlight. From afar, the Tenebrous Demon Dragon looked like a black arrow that was shooting through the skies.

Less than two hours later, they were able to see the vast and boundless ocean appear on the horizons. The light of the sun shone down upon the surface of the sea, causing it to sparkle.

The weather was particularly fine today. There weren’t too many waves, and they were able to see from up high how the light blue of the water at the seashore gradually grew darker as they went deeper into the ocean.

The atmospheric water energies around them clearly grew denser. Even the naturally-forming tenebrous demon clouds around the Tenebrous Demon Dragon were affected considerably, as they grew noticeably sparser.

This was the power of nature! Zhou Weiqing couldn’t help but exclaim to himself. No wonder even the Tenebrous Demon Dragon was afraid of fighting the Terror Sea Dragon in the depths of the seas. The seas was the Terror Sea Dragon’s domain.

Right at this moment, Dreamwake’s mental voice reached out to him once more. “Use your Demonic Change State to stay far away from the battle. No one will have the time or energy to take care of you.”

Zhou Weiqing chortled and sent back, “You care about me that much, eh?”

Dreamwake didn’t respond.

Zhou Weiqing continued, “Honestly, it was all a big misunderstanding. I just didn’t want to die, right? I did what I did to stay alive. That’s why I saved that trump card for the very end.”
