I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 744 Prophecy Dragon Fang, Thunder Mansion Returns to Ruins, Annihilation Immortal Array

In the vast outer space, a colossal palace floats in the air, its interior a boundless ocean inhabited by countless dragon-like spirits.

Within the main hall was another hall, infinitely luxurious, with coral and crystal chairs. On one of these chairs, a young man with two horns on his head suddenly opened his eyes and let out an angry cry.

"These humans are so arrogant, yet so cowardly!"

"Didn't you say this person has an aggressive personality and seeks speed in everything? Why did he refuse to fight me in the outer space?"

The boy turned his head and looked at a dragon envoy in the hall who also had two horns on his head but white hair, and coldly questioned him.

Old Dragon smiled wryly: "Little Dragon Lord, this person became famous at a young age. He is an immortal from the Heavenly Palace who is hundreds of years old. He killed Mo Ting Dragon Lord after only a few months of entering Kangzhu Star. How can he not be impulsive?"

"To merely invite him to fight beyond the stars is far too blatant. He has cultivated himself into an immortal at the age of several hundred years; he must be a person of exceptional talent. Why would he agree to such a request for no reason?"

Old Long was also helpless.

Our own little dragon lord is too impatient, wishing he could immediately establish his rule upon entering the Dragon Star, so as to claim credit from the Dragon Court. But how could this great calamity be so simple?
"This man captured Kangzhu Star in just a few months, how can I fall behind him?!"

"What other method is there to quickly seize this star? Speak quickly!"

Lord Lingyuan roared angrily.

In the Dragon Court, he has always been the best in all kinds of competitions. This is his first time leading troops to conquer the Heavenly Palace. He must fight a brilliant battle. How can he linger outside the realm and not move forward?
Old Dragon simply shook his head: "This person possesses the Returning Void Immortal Thunder and the power of reincarnation. Although he will definitely not be able to defeat Little Dragon Lord in the end, he is not an ordinary person. In my opinion, we can send out a dragon envoy to challenge him continuously, find out his strength and weakness, and then kill him with one blow."

He received the Dragon Lord's instructions that this battle should be fought slowly and deliberately, and that he should not be reckless. Otherwise, if he were to fall into the calamity, even the Great Luo Immortal would be unable to save him. Therefore, he naturally did not offer any quick way to win the battle, but only hoped that the Little Dragon Lord would fight steadily and cautiously.

However, he knew Xiaolongjun's temperament well, so he dared not speak of Gu Yuan's prowess, but he could not remain silent either, and could only try his best to dissuade him.

"Return to the Void Immortal Thunder, the Power of Reincarnation..."

Lingyuan Longjun's eyes narrowed instantly.

If it were anyone else, he would have already mustered his dragon soldiers and gone to conquer them, but Gu Yuan's two methods made him somewhat wary.

The first attempt in my dream just now is proof of that.

The one who could kill Mo Ting was no ordinary person.

"This person is indeed quite capable, but he certainly won't let me live a life of mediocrity and passive waiting."

Lingyuan Longjun's eyes narrowed, and then he suddenly turned to look at the old dragon: "Old Dragon Envoy, you are right. We do need to test this person's strength before we can kill him with one blow."

"However... ordinary dragon envoys lack supernatural powers. Even if they went, they would only be dismissed by the palace envoys under their command. How could they possibly ascertain the truth?"

"The best course of action now is for you to go there in person."

"With your strength, no one in the Heavenly Palace can stop you except that person. In this way, you will surely be able to force him to reveal his methods."

"I?"

Old Dragon was immediately shocked, never expecting that Little Dragon Lord would come up with such a method.

Who is he?

Although he was the Dragon Envoy of the Dragon Lord, had cultivated for ten thousand years, received the Dragon Lord's teachings, and his supernatural abilities and secret techniques were all of the highest quality, he was ultimately not a pure-blooded Dragon Lord. The being in that Dragon Star had even killed the Ink Thunder Dragon Lord who had refined an entire star.

How dangerous it would be to go and test it out on your own!
But after taking a deep breath, he remembered the Dragon Lord's instructions and immediately bowed his head to the Little Dragon Lord, saying, "Since it is the Dragon Lord's arrangement, even if I have to give up this dragon body, I will find out the truth about this person for the Dragon Lord."

Lingyuan Dragon Lord grinned, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Since the old dragon lord is so understanding, I naturally won't let the old dragon lord fight alone. Please take these dragon fangs with you."

Before the old dragon could react, Lord Lingyuan waved his sleeve, and a pair of identical, crystal-clear dragon teeth, each over three feet long, appeared in the air.

The only difference is that the tip of the left dragon tooth has a faint reddish tinge, while the right dragon tooth has a faint emerald green tinge.

When the old dragon saw the pair of dragon teeth, his face froze.

He recognized those dragon teeth, of course.

The prophecy, Dragon Tooth!

This is a secret treasure of the Dragon Court. Attaching this dragon tooth to one's own dragon tooth grants a certain degree of "predictive" ability. During battles, "spiritual light" will flash, and the shadow of the future will appear from time to time, allowing one to know the opponent's various responses and methods. One can foresee the enemy and predict the future, making it extremely powerful.

But this treasure has another crucial ability: prophecy.

Once the Lord of Dragon Fang dies, a mysterious "mark of calamity" will fall into the hands of the murderer. This "mark" will be detonated by the one who possesses the prophecy, causing severe damage to the murderer's immortal foundation.

In addition, this "mark of calamity" has the power of omens, and can penetrate into the body of the murderer to steal all kinds of secrets.

This is an extremely malevolent and incredibly powerful eighth-tier top-tier immortal treasure.

But... what is the purpose of the Little Dragon Lord bestowing this treasure upon him?
Is the intention to use one's "predictive" abilities to force out the other person's methods, or to leave a mark so as to gain an advantage in future battles?
"What's wrong? Does the old Dragon Lord look down on my dragon teeth? Or is he unwilling to serve me and the Dragon Court by gathering intelligence?"

Seeing that the old dragon was hesitant to accept the dragon tooth, Lord Lingyuan coldly asked.

Old Long smiled bitterly to himself.

The reason he readily agreed to test the waters for the Little Dragon Lord was that he was only going through the motions, pretending to test the waters while actually stalling for time, so as to complete the Dragon Lord's plan to "take things slowly".

But once those dragon teeth appeared, they put him on the fire to roast.

"The old Dragon King has served the Dragon Court for ten thousand years, surely he wouldn't refuse!"

But Lord Lingyuan no longer gave the old dragon time to think. With a flick of his sleeve, an extremely powerful force surged out, urging the dragon tooth to forcefully enter the old dragon's mouth.

The old dragon immediately smiled bitterly, but dared not stop him, and could only let Lingyuan Dragon Lord stuff the dragon tooth into his mouth.

"Old Dragon Lord, please refine the Dragon Fang quickly and set off as soon as possible. I will personally observe the battle from beyond the stars."

Seeing this, Lord Lingyuan remained calm and simply urged him on.

Throughout his life, he has always been prone to acting rashly.

Because he believed that one force can overcome all laws.

With enough supernatural power, any scheme can be thwarted.

After much deliberation and planning, nothing beats simply pushing through.

But this does not mean he is without wisdom.

He knew that this old dragon was a spy sent by his father to prevent him from quickly seizing the star.

As long as Lao Long is still around, I can forget about getting the "quick way to seize stars" from him.

What use is it to keep someone who boosts the morale of others and diminishes our own?
It would be better to send someone out to test the waters. If they succeed, all will be well; if they fail, that would be perfect. The "calamity" of the prophecy dragon tooth could then invade that human's body, giving me a greater chance of killing him.

He has made his decision: after this probing attack, he will head straight for Longxing and fight Gu Yuan to the death.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to heed his father's advice and proceed cautiously.

Rather, it was because he himself knew his own situation. In terms of strategy, he was indeed inferior to the human race, and the Dragon Court might not be able to defeat the Heavenly Palace.

If we wait too long, something might go wrong.

It's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly!
Under his coercion, the old dragon had no choice but to refine the dragon teeth, gather the dragon soldiers, and march in a mighty force toward Dragon Star.

……

……

Xingchayunque.

Gu Yuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. Strands of azure light appeared around him, dispersing the myriad clouds and mists. The vast quiet room was filled with the light of thunder, exuding a chilling aura.

If an immortal were present at this moment, they would discover that within this vast expanse of lightning, all magic is forbidden and cannot be used.

Unless someone surpasses this lightning in status. But this lightning is the renowned Returning Void Immortal Lightning; how many can surpass it?

And this is the power of the Immortal Body Seal that suppresses all laws and thunder at this moment.

"The methods of the Celestial Palace are truly profound..."

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, sensing the lightning domain surrounding him, and smiled faintly.

The method of the Celestial Palace that day allowed him to refine the Celestial Thunder Seed in an instant, but this was not the only reason why the Thunder Spirit Celestial Body was so eager to pursue this method.

As the celestial palace was forged and the Thunder Seed resided within it, the Thunder Spirit Immortal Body naturally rose in rank, gaining extraordinary authority and status, and its ability to suppress all laws was enhanced to an unprecedented degree.

But for Gu Yuan, that wasn't enough.

While the Guixu Immortal Thunder is indeed a divine thunder in the world, possessing immense power that allows him to roam freely in the Biyou Realm and be invincible among his peers, this campaign is a battle of calamity between the Heavenly Palace and the Dragon Court.

No one can fathom the extraordinary talents and unparalleled abilities that these two behemoths possess.

Most importantly, the Guixu Immortal Thunder was obtained from Mo Tinglongjun, which is already an open secret and cannot be used as a trump card.

His ambition was far-reaching; he wanted to devour the dragon and enter the Jade Void during this battle of calamity.

That means we need stronger and more covert methods.

And he did indeed find such a method.

The Qimen Dunjia Seal!
This seal is one of the most powerful immortal seals in the world capable of manipulating the power of heaven and earth and setting up formations.

Gu Yuan's Celestial Foundation of Measurement is perfectly capable of measuring heaven and earth and fixing all formations.

In other words, all formations are almost useless in his presence, but he himself can set up formations.

If the magistrate sets fires, the common people are forbidden to light lamps.

The power of formations is the ultimate collection of all the world's great forces, capable of turning the rotten into the miraculous, possessing incredible abilities.

Gu Yuan had not forgotten this seal these days, carefully refining and constantly comprehending it, and finally found a celestial array within it.

Thunder Mansion Returns to Ruins, Annihilation Immortal Array!

This formation can annihilate stars and reduce the universe to nothingness; it possesses incredible power.

The core of this formation is the Returning Void Thunder Seed!
Using the Thunder Seed as the array's core, and then using nine innate thunder pattern banners to set up the Nine Palaces Annihilation Position, corresponding to the image of the Nine Heavens Falling, and then stimulating the generation of three hundred and sixty-five true god phantoms of the Thunder Department, the array can be formed.

When the formation was activated, the sky tilted to the northwest and the earth sank to the southeast. The formation became a world of its own, where the sun and moon were not visible, only the lightning of the Three Tribulations annihilated everything.

This is the immortal array that best unleashes the power of the Returning Void Immortal Thunder. It extinguishes calamities, slays gods and immortals, and is terrifying beyond compare.

This is precisely why Dong Lingzi wanted to seize the Guixu Immortal Thunder.

Upon finding this formation, Gu Yuan understood why the Returning Void Immortal Lightning was a pale silver opportunity.

This formation will change his fate.

However, the nine innate thunder pattern banners that activate this formation are not ordinary objects. Gu Yuan now possesses the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and the Innate Taiyi Divine Thunder, so he can refine two of the pattern banners himself.

Given enough time, with his foundation in the Dao of Thunder, cultivating the Seven Thunders and refining the banner would not be a problem.

But with the current calamity looming, there probably isn't that time left.

However... although he was on Dragon Star, he was not a rootless duckweed.

Although the Heavenly Palace does not allow immortals to enter, various immortal techniques and celestial food can still be transported there.

He immediately summoned the Left Palace Envoy and wrote a letter back to the Heavenly Palace to the Patriarch, offering to exchange the many dragon corpses he had obtained on Dragon Star for the Innate Thunder Pattern Banner.

"Boom!"

But at that moment, a tremendous roar suddenly resounded from the sky, and then a giant drum as large as a mountain appeared. To the left and right of the drum, thousands of dragon shadows appeared, rushing down from the sky in a mighty and majestic manner.

This giant drum is a celestial treasure, unleashing endless thunderous sounds that can awe people and shatter their courage.

Behind the myriad dragon shadows was an old dragon with thick scales and bluish-green whiskers.

Gu Yuan only needed to glance at it to know the origin of the dragon.

[Lan Xie, Dragon Envoy, an eighth-rank Dragon Envoy of the Dragon Court, has a peaceful personality and mediocre abilities; he can be killed.]

The annotation appeared instantly, and even though he had never seen the dragon before, Gu Yuan could immediately know its origin.

But just as Gu Yuan was taking it all in stride, a new interpretation emerged.

[Bearing a dragon tooth with a prophetic verse, it can plant a "calamity" on the perpetrator. Once the calamity is activated, the immortal foundation will be frozen for a moment, and the perpetrator's inner secrets can be glimpsed. It is a top-eighth-tier secret treasure of Dragon Court Mountain.]

[We can first destroy the dragon's teeth with the Returning Void Immortal Thunder, then kill the dragon, and we will be free from all calamities.]

[If the dragon is killed first, then the 'calamity' can be dispelled with celestial lightning, but this will take a while.]

This dragon's actions appear to be a suicide mission to frame someone...

The annotations on the Immortal Seal during battles are truly too mysterious.

This seal cannot anticipate the enemy's moves, but all schemes and plans cannot be hidden from it.

This seal is also one of Gu Yuan's trump cards.

Everything within the starry sky and cloud palace, within the celestial seal of the cave, is difficult to fathom.

"Is this a ploy for the old dragon to sacrifice himself and then fight me directly?"

Gu Yuanyuan gazed at the sky, lost in thought.

Based on what he saw in his dream and the annotations on the immortal seal, he already knew the nature of the newly arrived Lingyuan Dragon Lord.

This person is very similar to myself; if we disagree, I'll immediately resort to fighting to end the conflict, and I like to resolve things quickly and decisively.

But Gu Yuan's goal was far more than just Lingyuan Dragon Lord.

After consuming the Lingyuan Dragon Lord, he should be able to break through to the ninth level of physical body, but he will not be able to break through to the Jade Void Realm.

If he cannot break through both realms simultaneously, he will not be able to stand firm and withstand the backlash from the Dragon Court.

He needs to wait a little longer.

Whether or not he could defeat the Dragon Lord Lingyuan was no longer within Gu Yuan's considerations.

Cave Heaven Immortal Seal, Reincarnation Immortal Seal, Return to the Void Immortal Thunder, Forbidden All Laws Thunder Spirit Immortal Body Seal, Qimen Dunjia Seal... He will surely kill the eighth-order dragon!
But the time is not yet right.

He needed an opportunity, an opportunity for at least two Dragon Lords, no, preferably three Dragon Lords, to attack him together.

Before this opportunity arrives, he needs to bide his time and conceal his abilities.

After all, he hadn't even collected all the innate thunder pattern banners.

"I'll play with you for now..."

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuan made up his mind.

With a thought, the Left Palace Envoy arrived at the palace. Then, Gu Yuan flicked his hand, and the Thunder Spirit Immortal Body, carrying the Immortal Palace, entered the Left Palace Envoy's body.

Then, the Left Palace Envoy manipulated the Returning Void Immortal Thunder, summoned the Heavenly Soldiers, and fiercely attacked towards the sky.
