Become a fairy alone

When the dragon race rose to power, the demon and ghost realms, who were initially just watching the show and hoping to get a bargain, didn't immediately enter the fray.

If Lu Xiaotian were to indiscriminately make enemies without any pretext, he would likely become the target of everyone's attacks and be attacked by multiple realms. No matter how quickly Lu Xiaotian's strength increases, he is not arrogant enough to reach that level.

At this time, the Puppet Emperor ruled by dividing the Xuanyong Battlefield and the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm was naturally unwilling to let the Puppet Emperor occupy most of its area.

The most splendid regions of the Immortal Realm are still under the rule of the Four Heavenly Emperors. The area occupied by the Puppet Emperor, which was previously relatively mediocre, is larger and has a larger population.

Previously, this place was indeed just a source of celestial soldiers for the Immortal Realm. Now, with the impact of the wandering laws within the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, this barren region is undergoing earth-shattering changes. If the Puppet Emperor is allowed to continue to grow stronger, the consequences will be unimaginable.

How could the emperor tolerate such a wolfish and ambitious tyrant as the Puppet Emperor under his own bed? The Immortal Realm undertook a massive construction project to connect the two regions via the Xuanyong Plank Road. The celestial armies of the four Heavenly Courts also used these Xuanyong Plank Roads as their core, engaging in a series of fierce battles.

"Buzz!" A hazy gray aura spread outwards, and the Xun Yin Thunder Spirit in Luo Yang Prison, the Dragon Seal Sect Master of Dragon Scale Valley, the Sheng Yang Sect Master of Rainbow Sun Peak, and the Wu Tian Buddha Master of Boundless Lotus Pond all looked towards Jiu Yang City.

"To think that he has cultivated the Dharma Realm so quickly! The world has changed drastically, and countless realms are in turmoil. Opportunities are indeed more plentiful than before." The Dragon Seal Sect Master's eyes gleamed.

"You, me, and our fellow practitioners of Xunyin are all just a step away from this point. We still need a catalyst to cross over. The Puppet Emperor has already made great strides on the Great Path of Laws." A blazing sun hung over Rainbow Sun Peak, where the Venerable Shengyang sat, his eyes filled with longing.

"The world is in turmoil, times are changing, heroes are rising one after another, and there is always an opportunity to attain enlightenment through the elimination of those who seize power. This Emperor's path is but a minor one, and it is truly far inferior to that of the Dragon Lord." The Puppet Emperor sat in the Dharma Realm, his divine sense surveying the world, regarding the powerful figures such as the Venerable Shengyang Sect Master and the Xunyin Thunder Spirit as if they were within arm's reach.

"There's news about the Dragon Lord again?" The Dragon Seal Cult Master and the others immediately became interested. Right now, apart from the movements of the Four Heavenly Courts, what they were most concerned about was Lu Xiaotian, the Lord of the Dragon Domain.

Not only did the opponent's cultivation level increase at a speed far exceeding expectations, but their battle record was also a legendary feat that shook the world, and it was also related to the rise and fall of the Puppet Emperor and even their major sects.

If Lu Xiaotian hadn't aroused the suspicion of the Four Heavenly Emperors, they probably would have already crossed the Xuanyong Battlefield and come here. With the combined strength of the Puppet Emperor and their major sects, they would have been far from enough to fight against the entire Immortal Realm.

They had previously received news that Lu Xiaotian had killed the Ancient Demon Emperor and destroyed the Moon Shadow Wilderness Forest, but after that Lu Xiaotian disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he went or what his situation was. It was during this period that the Immortal Realm made continuous moves and intensified its attacks around the Xuanyong Plank Road.

"The Dragon Lord has returned to the Demon Realm, his might has descended upon the Moonshadow Wilderness, and he fought fiercely against the Asura Emperor and the Demon Emperor Yaoqing before countless demon armies, forcing them to swear an oath never to interfere in the war between the Immortal Realm and the Dragon Clan again. Judging by the time, he should be arriving in the Immortal Realm soon." The Puppet Emperor spoke to the powerful figures in the Dharma Realm.

"Return to the Moonshadow Wasteland to fight against the two Demon Emperors?"

"Force the two Demon Emperors to swear an oath before the demons?"

"I wish I could be there in person to witness this epic battle!"

The powerful figures, including the Dragon Seal Cult Master, Xun Yin Thunder Spirit, Sheng Yang Cult Master, and Wu Tian Buddha Master, displayed expressions ranging from bewilderment, longing, excitement, to regret at not being able to witness such a great battle firsthand.

I thought that by joining forces with Lu Xiaotian first in the battle of Jiuyang City and then in the battle of the Desolate Sea, I had already witnessed quite a few grand scenes. But after hearing the Puppet Emperor mention Lu Xiaotian's two incursions into the Demon Realm, even without experiencing them firsthand, I couldn't help but imagine the magnificent and awe-inspiring scenes.

He entered the Demon Realm alone, single-handedly annihilating the Ancient Demon Emperor, and then forcing the two Demon Emperors to swear an oath of allegiance under the city walls in front of a massive army of demons.

Even if they haven't taken that final step yet, and even if they ascend to the throne in the future, they will still find it difficult to compete with those established Heavenly Emperors and Demon Emperors. Even if the other side doesn't make a move, the fact that a titled Emperor-level expert possesses a world-suppressing artifact is a tremendous deterrent.

What Lu Xiaotian has accomplished is something they will find difficult to achieve in the future.

"Your Majesty, the Immortal Realm has begun withdrawing its troops from most of the Xuanyong Plank Road." Just as the Dragon Seal Sect Master and his group of powerful figures were shocked, the Puppet Master's figure appeared within the Dharma Realm.

"It seems they knew the Dragon Lord was coming soon and, fearing his might, have temporarily ceased hostilities," said the Venerable Shengyang.

"His great reputation is well-deserved; the Supreme Heavenly Dragon is the strongest in all realms."

Xun Yin Lei Ling sighed deeply, his longing growing stronger. However, given his and the Puppet Emperor's circumstances, the Puppet Emperor was already at a great disadvantage compared to the Four Heavenly Courts. He had considered leaving to seek a chance to condense the Great Dao of Laws, but he was also reluctant to give up the situation he had created with the Puppet Emperor.

"The Puppet Emperor is now facing off against the Immortal Realm. Previously, the Dragon Lord had been holding them back with considerable effort. The Dragon Lord's departure is imminent. Without the Dragon Lord's restraint, the Immortal Realm will surely destroy us. I urge the Puppet Emperor to make plans as soon as possible," said the Venerable Shengyang, his eyes filled with worry.

"Perhaps going to the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm with the Dragon Lord is a good choice. We have no chance of winning if we stay here." The Buddha Lord Wutian was even more direct. No matter how fast the Puppet Emperor's cultivation improved, it would still be a bit difficult for him to fight against a Heavenly Emperor. Under the general trend of the Immortal Realm, they would probably be wiped out soon.

Rumors circulate that the last Heavenly Emperor has already withdrawn from the Jade Disc of Creation. The reason they did not arrive together is largely due to their fear of Lu Xiaotian, the Supreme Heavenly Dragon.

Even though Lu Xiaotian was in the Demon Realm, he was still a huge deterrent to the Four Heavenly Courts. Lu Xiaotian had come from afar from the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, and his undefeated record had already earned him the position of Supreme Heavenly Dragon.

The Supreme Heavenly Dragon is an existence that no other emperor-level powerhouse can look directly at.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to be nervous. I am well aware of the gap between myself and the Immortal Realm. This is for training troops. If we are ever defeated, I will take you to another place. Having finally ascended to the throne, I do not wish to die and perish too soon."

"Dragons walk the dragon's path, tigers tread the tiger's road. In this world, it is not only the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm that can avoid the celestial realm's military might."

The Dragon Seal Cult Masters exchanged glances, not surprised by the Puppet Emperor's statement. The Puppet Emperor's ability to gradually build up the current situation was unparalleled in their lives; he wouldn't leave no way out.

"By now, the Emperor should have revealed his whereabouts to us," said the Dragon Seal Master in a calm voice.

The gazes of the Cult Master Shengyang and the Buddha Wutian also turned towards them at the same time. Although their cultivation was not yet comparable to that of the Puppet Emperor, they were still powerful figures in their own right, not followers who merely imitated him.

The situation will soon deteriorate rapidly. The Puppet Emperor wants them to do things, but keeps them in the dark, even if the other party is an Emperor-level expert. "The Mother-Child Great Teleportation Token in my hand has set several special places as nodes. If the situation really turns bad, I can transfer everyone here and their various armies to a safe area."

Currently, the several battle zones centered around the Xuanyong Battle Path are all close to the node. You can use your divine sense to investigate.

The Puppet Emperor smiled calmly, knowing that a few words would not be enough to completely dispel the doubts of the Sheng Yang Sect Master and his party. So he spread his palms out, and a boundary token appeared.

The eyes of the Sheng Yang Sect Master flashed with brilliance. The Great Sun Immortal Sect was able to preserve a trace of its vitality because of the Great Shifting Realm Token, so he was naturally familiar with this item. The difference was that the Realm Token in the Puppet Emperor's hand had several different light spots inside, which seemed to correspond to different areas.

"Your Majesty's methods are truly remarkable." After examining the situation with their divine senses, the Dragon Seal Sect Master, the Buddha of No Heaven, and several others showed a hint of admiration in their eyes.

They admired not only the Puppet Emperor for possessing this item, but also for his foresight in predicting the Immortal Realm's reaction after occupying the Nine Central City and Nebula City side. The locations for rebuilding the Xuanyong Plank Road and the outbreak of major battles were all within the Puppet Emperor's calculations. It seemed everything was proceeding according to the Puppet Emperor's methodical preparations.

Even the Dragon Seal Cult Masters, who were skilled in planning, did not think they could do better than their opponents.

"It's just a precautionary measure." The Puppet Emperor smiled calmly and put away the Great Teleportation Token. If the Four Heavenly Emperors discovered this item, it would be difficult to carry out the plan at will. However, displaying it within the Dharma Realm would not be a problem if anyone spied on it.

The Dragon Seal Cult Master and the others shook their heads. Their plans were all centered around themselves and their sects, and so far they had only managed to preserve their sects and improve their own strength to some extent. But compared to the Puppet Emperor's methods and audacity, which could change the landscape of the Immortal Realm at will, they paled in comparison.

The Lord of the Dragon Realm has attained unparalleled cultivation. He single-handedly led the Dragon Clan to build roads through mountains and bridges over rivers, creating the current situation.

From the perspective of a superior, the Puppet Emperor is clearly more qualified. So far, the Puppet Emperor still gives the impression of being powerful and mysterious, anticipating the enemy's moves and planning carefully before acting. Lu Xiaotian, on the other hand, is like a sharp sword, cutting through all difficulties and obstacles with a single stroke.

Lu Xiaotian, who had arrived near the Xuanyong Battle Path, also held the Puppet Emperor in high esteem. Without entering the Puppet Realm, he could not sense what exactly was happening inside, but he vaguely felt a slight abnormal spatial fluctuation.

There has been no conflict between powerful emperors for the time being. Although there is danger in the Xuanyong Battlefield, it is truly remarkable that the battle with the immortal army has reached such a state near several Xuanyong plank roads.

The dragon army was also responsible for one of the battlefields, during which some casualties occurred. Lu Xiaotian didn't think much of it; he hadn't sent the dragons to Jiuyang City for them to enjoy themselves.

Although there were considerable casualties, they also gained valuable experience in this kind of battle.

Both the original Four Seas Dragon Palace and the Desolate Sea Dragon Clan suffered immense oppression in the past. The situation in the Desolate Sea was slightly better, but there were still not many clans with complete lineages.

In other words, after Lu Xiaotian saved these dragons, he passed down his cultivation methods, solving their fundamental cultivation problems and freeing them from the suppression of the Immortal Realm.

In these few thousand years, with periods of rest and war, the long-suppressed spirit of the dragon race has finally erupted. Having experienced the baptism of war, the improvement in strength is secondary; the spirit of this dragon race is now completely different.

Lu Xiaotian scanned the area with his divine sense and could roughly judge from the bloodstains scattered around the battlefield and the many remnant souls that the number of dragons who died in the battle was close to 500,000. However, the number of dragons in this area was still close to 4 million, which was really beyond Lu Xiaotian's expectations.

At this moment, fierce battles raged at various points along the Xuanyong Plank Road, with the Dragon Clan engaging in a bloody massacre against the Honghao Heavenly Court's celestial army. The sounds of fighting, screams, and shouts echoed throughout the area.

On the chaotic battlefield, more than 10,000 dragons manifested their true forms, like ten thousand dragons emerging from the sea.

During the interweaving of these ten thousand dragons, they jointly unleashed a relatively powerful battle formation attack.

Even the celestial army, several times larger than the dragon race, could not stop this wave of attacks. The heavy casualties in an instant were secondary; what was even worse was that they could not stop the dragon race's battle formation charge, and the resulting chaos in their formation was more terrifying than the temporary casualties.

"A bunch of incompetent fools!" Ancestor Kongji cursed. His Kongyan warriors were wiped out during the Dragon Domain campaign. Although he and several other Immortal Lord level experts escaped, their personal guards were all burned to the ground. As a result, he could only command some ordinary immortal troops during the attack on Xuanyong Plank Road.

These ordinary immortal soldiers lacked execution ability, not only missing several opportunities to fight, but also allowing the dragon race to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The battle formation was in disarray, and these useless immortal troops were no longer able to resolve the crisis. Although the Void Ancestor was unwilling, he could not bear to watch the immortal army collapse and had no choice but to personally intervene to resolve the crisis.

As soon as the Ancestor of the Void reached out and waved his hand, several ethereal giant banners rose into the void, and beams of light, like giant plows, plowed directly into the area where the Immortal Army and the Dragon Clan warriors were fighting, forcibly separating the two armies.

Ancestor Kongji breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the fighting strength of this army, mainly composed of the Four Seas Dragon Palace and the Desolate Sea Dragon Clan, was far inferior to that of the Dragon Domain.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have succeeded so easily. The great battle that conquered the Dragon Domain is still a nightmare he can't shake off.

Even though the dragons before him weren't particularly powerful, Ancestor Kongji was unwilling to directly antagonize them. The dragons of today were no longer the kind that the Immortal Realm could easily wipe out.

Initially, Lu Xiaotian was able to grow stronger because he possessed the Green Fruit Barrier, which made him easy to move around. The combat power within the Green Fruit Barrier was unknown, and the Immortal Realm repeatedly misjudged the situation, causing them to miss opportunities time and time again.

In addition, it is also due to the times. For whatever reason, the dragon race has become one of the most powerful races.

The Evil Heavenly Dragon rebelled during the second conquest of the Dragon Realm, assisting the powerful warriors of the Dragon Realm in besieging and killing the Dream Demon Ancestor. Further details are scarce, but perhaps the Evil Heavenly Dragon's rebellion played a crucial role.

While the Evil Heavenly Dragon is certainly hateful, the fact that the Dragon Realm could achieve this level of power without the Heavenly Dragon's presence is beyond everyone's imagination.

Especially with the news coming from the Demon Realm, Ancestor Kongji had no doubt that he had personally killed too many dragons, and that once Lu Xiaotian arrived, he would definitely not have a good ending.

Therefore, Ancestor Kongji held back somewhat in his actions. The casualties suffered by the dragon race during the war were caused by the celestial army; he merely intervened to defuse the crisis facing the celestial army. As for other matters, Ancestor Kongji did not intend to interfere too deeply. (End of Chapter)
