Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1055 Great Luo, Namo Subduing Dragon Buddha
That was the anger of being deceived!
Although Buddhism is a great religion of saints and the most supreme lineage in this world, it possesses incomparably terrifying power.

But the dragon race is not weak either!
In particular, before the Great Sage Equaling Heaven took away the Iron Needle of the Sea, the dragon clan's energy had been suppressed.

The dragons, too, had long been accustomed to the feeling of being suppressed by the energy channels.

Under such circumstances, the Arhat who subdues dragons uses the energy of Buddhism as its foundation to generate the power of subduing dragons to suppress the dragon race. Normally, it would be absolutely impossible for the many dragons of the Huai River to be suppressed to less than half their strength, forcing these dragon gods to hide in the waves of the Huai River.

—The real cause of this result was not the suppression from the Dragon-Subduing Golden Ring.

It originates from the hearts of these dragon gods!

These dragon gods first believed in the Dragon-Subduing Golden Ring and its incredible power, and only then were they suppressed by it...

As soon as the Buddhist energy pressed down, these dragon gods believed it was the Dragon-Subduing Arhat's power to subdue dragons. Then, their perception suppressed their power...

Therefore, the victory of the Arhat Subduing Dragon over these dragon gods was not due to a suppression of strength.

It was not a crushing defeat in terms of intelligence!

And all of this happened right before the eyes of countless people in the world.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the dragon gods were fooled like idiots by the Arhat who subdued the dragon!
The thought of this ignited an immense sense of shame and anger within these dragon gods, burning them like flames that threatened to scorch their reason.

Unforgivable!

It’s unforgivable!
The dragon gods roared madly, stirring up endless waves and unleashing torrential rain.

The ability to summon wind and rain is a divine power belonging to the dragon race.

Between heaven and earth, countless dragons use this supernatural power as a means of killing, adding many changes to the wind and rain.

For example, replace that wind with a wind that disperses souls...

For example, changing that rain to a bone-chilling rain, and so on.

Each dragon, based on their own experiences, collections, and cultivation techniques, experiences different variations in their ability to summon wind and rain.

At this moment, these dragon gods unleashed their combined power to summon wind and rain, adding even more destructive and deadly variations...

This supernatural power to summon wind and rain transformed into an enormous platform.

With this platform as the anchor point, the strength, foundation, methods, and so on of the many dragon gods are directly integrated together.

Summoning wind and rain—this is the fifth of the five great supernatural powers among the Heavenly Divine Powers.

Although these dragon gods only mastered the application and adaptation of the method of summoning wind and rain, and did not truly wield this supernatural power, the mystery of this supernatural power was already manifested in the world in an incredibly incredible way.

That ability to summon wind and rain has transformed into a comprehensive and all-encompassing method!

The different wind-summoning and rain-summoning techniques used by the dragon gods did not conflict with each other. Instead, they merged together in an incredibly perfect way, like adding to each other, layering their power on top of each other, seemingly without any upper limit...

To be precise, it's not that there's no upper limit.

Rather, it hadn't even reached its limit. The Buddhist light emanating from the Dragon-Subduing Golden Ring, and the profound mystery of subduing dragons disguised as Buddhist energy, had already collapsed amidst the changes of wind and rain displayed by the various dragon gods...

This collapse is not a collapse on the surface.

Rather, it is a complete collapse, originating from the inside out.

Just like the wind that symbolizes flow and the rain that symbolizes erosion, it directly penetrated the mysterious essence of the Dragon Subduing Technique. With the flow of the wind, it found the cracks in that essence, and then with the erosion of the rain, it widened those cracks...

Just as the earth, which is eternal and all-encompassing, manifests countless rivers and lakes under the erosion of wind and rain.

Then, the Buddha's light dissipated, and the Dragon-Subduing Golden Ring scattered as well.

Even the karmic status of the Great Arhat who subdues dragons collapsed...

Just like the vast earth, which is divided into countless 'fragments' by countless rivers and lakes.

During this process, the karmic status of the Great Arhat who Subdues Dragons slowly collapsed!

Sensing this change, countless Buddhist disciples around the Huai River went mad, each taking action without reservation, trying to tear open the curtain formed by the wind and rain, to rescue the Arhat Subduing Dragon from the storm, and to save the Arhat Subduing Dragon's karmic position from collapse.

As they chanted the name of Amitabha Buddha in unison, the power of countless Buddhist disciples gathered together and pressed down directly on the storm summoned by the dragon gods.

The Immortal Lord of Huai River, a powerful figure who was incredibly close to the Great Luo realm, also activated half of the Huai River's water veins at this moment.

The Buddhist community came to his aid—he could not possibly stand idly by and watch the karmic position of the Great Arhat who subdues dragons crumble between the Huai Rivers.

Otherwise, he fears he wouldn't be able to repay the Buddhist sect's favor even if he gave himself away...

Above, Buddhist disciples used the Dharma name of Amitabha Buddha as a guide, merging their respective magical powers into one.

Below them was the Immortal Lord of the Huai River, who was incredibly close to the Great Luo Immortal. With a single move, he stirred half of the Huai River's water veins, sending them flowing down from upstream in a mighty torrent, sweeping everything away.

Both of these can be said to be powers that have surpassed the Taiyi realm, and are profound between Taiyi and Daluo.

Any Taiyi cultivator, unless they are among the few indestructible beings, would be pulverized into dust under such power, even if they possess innate spiritual treasures for protection.

Even if a true Grandmaster came, under such power, if he were careless, he would be knocked down and humiliated in front of everyone.

However, amidst the combined attack of two forces that were incredibly close to the Great Luo level, the storms stirred up by the combined power of the numerous dragon gods, and the wondrous ability to summon wind and rain, were entirely different.

Those layers upon layers of power, with no mutual cancellation, almost additively stacked together, possessing the power to summon wind and rain... that power had already surpassed the Taiyi realm.

Although the three powers manifested between the Huai Rivers at this time all surpassed the Taiyi realm and were extremely close to the Daluo realm.

There is a difference between "approachable" and "close"!
The power to summon wind and rain that the dragon gods wield is closer to the Great Luo realm than the Buddhist power wielded by the Buddhist disciples, or the combined power of the Immortal Lord of the Huai River and half of the Huai River!

After all, this power is directly derived from the Heavenly Divine Power of Summoning Wind and Rain, and it is a power that directly targets the Great Luo!

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the magnificent Buddha light and the vast, surging waves all crashed together between the curtain of wind and rain.

In that instant, the entire world seemed to darken.

The stars swayed, and the sun and moon were dim.

In the next instant, the Buddha's light dissipated, and the sun and moon revolved, reappearing between heaven and earth. The instant the Buddha's light dissipated, the Buddhist disciples who had joined forces all staggered and fell. They wanted to continue chanting the name of Amitabha Buddha, but when they opened their mouths, no sound came out.

On the upper reaches of the Huai River, the Immortal Lord of the Huai River, who had just made his move, took a step back, his face pale. It was as if the mighty Huai River, flowing from high to low, had flowed backward an inch and become still for a moment.

The next moment, the sound of the waves continued...

Amidst the sound of the waves, the Huai River continues to flow ceaselessly, unchanged.

Downstream of the Huai River, countless dragon gods, who once stirred up wind and rain, roared weakly as they descended from the clouds—and the force of the wind and rain diminished considerably.

But in the end, the wind and rain still covered the lower reaches of the Huai River, still covered the Great Arhat Subduing Dragon, covered the Great Arhat Subduing Dragon's position, and also eroded and disintegrated his position.

"The Dragon Subduing Technique, the real can never be faked, and the fake can never become real!"

"We won in the end!"

"It is our dragon race that can restrain your Dragon-Subduing Power!"

High in the clouds, the dragon gods who were still persevering, though panting heavily, laughed with immense joy.

The Dragon Clan has regained its dignity!

Although they were tricked by the Arhat Subduing Dragon, they ultimately responded by dismantling the Arhat Subduing Dragon's position through their ability to summon wind and rain.

"The art of summoning wind and rain can actually take such a turn?"

Seeing the result of the collision of these three powers, all of which surpassed the Taiyi level, countless people in the world showed a dazed expression.

"A power that surpasses Taiyi, yet is limited to the level of Daluo?" All the Daluo beings, both within and between heaven and earth, were deep in thought.

With the Great Luo cultivators maintaining a tacit understanding and refraining from making moves easily, this power, which surpasses Taiyi yet remains below the Great Luo level, becomes something that every Great Luo cultivator needs to ponder.

Such power can crush the enemy within the rules, forcing the enemy to take the field and make mistakes... Whoever does not possess such power will lose the initiative in this game.

Compared to the Great Luo Immortals outside the Dragon Clan, the Four Sea Dragon Kings were even more bewildered and clueless at this moment.

They never dreamed that this mysterious power to summon wind and rain could undergo such changes.

That's incredibly, they were able to use this method as a platform to gather the power of all the dragons in one place...

The more dragons that stir up the wind and rain, the stronger the power to summon wind and rain becomes—this can be said to be the most suitable method for the whole world!

The dragon race is a vast group.

Other forces are different—other forces are bound together by morality, ideals, and laws.

Dragons, on the other hand, use blood ties as their bond.

Under such a bond, the existence of the Dragon Gods can be said to be naturally more united.

However, under this bond of blood, the emotions of the dragon gods are also more complex—if a dragon is caught up in the calamity, it is very likely that it will call on its friends and relatives, one after another, and thus lead the entire dragon race into the calamity.

Compared to other lineages, the probability of the entire Dragon Clan falling into a calamity is much greater.

—No, that would mean the probability is higher.

Instead, they will inevitably fall into calamity!
Whether it's targeting the four seas controlled by the Dragon Clan or Ao Bing in the high heavens, countless people in this realm will try to drag the Dragon Clan into calamity.

Therefore, at the very beginning of this calamity, the Four Dragon Kings were already considering how to deal with the situation if the dragon race was dragged into the calamity.

Now, they know how to deal with it!

This being that can command wind and rain is naturally a link connecting the powers of many dragons.

Therefore, all that is needed is for the dragons to comprehend this supernatural power of summoning wind and rain. Then, when the dragons are caught up in a calamity, or when someone wants to attack them, the dragons of the four seas can unite in one place, using the power of summoning wind and rain as the core, and connect the power of all the dragons together.

Compared to the Huai River at this time, the number of dragons in the Four Seas is many times greater than that in the Huai River—and in the Four Seas there are even Great Luo Dragon Kings like the Four Sea Dragon Kings who can directly take action!
At that time, with these four Great Dragon Kings as the core and all the dragons in the four seas as the link, they will jointly unleash the power to summon wind and rain—one can only imagine how terrifying the killing power of such a combined force would be.

"Issue my decree: from this moment forward, all dragons throughout the four seas shall practice the art of summoning wind and rain!"

The Four Dragon Kings issued their decrees directly.

On the Huai River, the karmic position of the Arhat who subdues dragons has collapsed by more than half—the karmic position of subduing dragons is now exactly the same as that of the previous Arhat who subdues tigers.

At that very moment, the Arhat Subduing Dragon, who had become extremely weak due to the collapse of his karmic position, laughed.

Did you win?

"Wrong, it is this Buddha who has won!"

"The Arhat who Subdues Dragons said with a smile."

Just as the karmic position of the Arhat Subduing Dragon was about to be completely dismantled, and the dragon's restraint on this karmic position was formed, the Arhat Subduing Dragon reached out and pushed it into the void.

In an instant, it was as if a wrench had been driven straight through the entire world.

The shattered Dragon-Subduing Golden Ring reappeared.

The power to subdue dragons.

The existence of the dragon family.

They achieve unity through a cycle of mutual generation and restraint.

In that instant, all the dragons in the Pantian realm began to boil with their bloodlines.

The Dao Fruit belonging to the 'Dragon', which lies dormant within all the dragon bloodlines, then manifests, driving countless dragon bloodlines to leap forward.

And under the influence of the concept of 'dragon' and the Dao Fruit of 'dragon', the concept of 'subduing dragon', which is mutually reinforcing and restraining, is also perfected at this moment, and the Dao Fruit of 'subduing dragon' is also achieved at this moment!
Jianglong laughed loudly, plucked the Dao Fruit, and signed his name on the golden book of faith and righteousness.

Thus, the Great Luo, the Buddha Who Subdues Dragons, attained enlightenment at this moment!
The countless Buddhist disciples then chanted in unison: Namo Subduing Dragon Buddha.

"Chengtian, let's settle our scores!" The moment he achieved the Great Luo, the Dragon-Subduing Buddha activated his Dao Fruit and soared straight into the heavens.
