Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 299 The False Dragon King and the Real Dragon King!

The Moon Goddess Shuttle stopped on the sea surface. The crystal shield sealing the cabin opened, and Zhu Ziyang, Zhang Lexuan, and Di Ershuang rushed out of the Moon Goddess Shuttle and hovered in the air.

Zhu Ziyang, with wings on his back and wielding a white spear, stared intently at the enormous creatures surrounding them. The true forms of these creatures came into clear view of him.

These enormous creatures, averaging over a hundred meters in length, were whales. Each one was massive, with scales half the size of Zhu Ziyang's body. They possessed horns on their heads and whiskers on their mouths, resembling oversized catfish, but far more aesthetically pleasing. These whales had distinctively vertical pupils, characteristic of dragons, and their tails were not the typical whale fins, but rather furry dragon tails.

Their bodies were entirely blue-purple, which didn't stand out much against the dark ocean, but their dragon horns were golden, making them incredibly conspicuous against the dark sea.

"What kind of soul beast is this?" Zhang Lexuan asked, leaning close to Zhu Ziyang with a puzzled look on her face.

"I don't know, but I can confirm that they are all soul beasts with dragon blood!" Zhu Ziyang said, his soul power quietly transforming into extreme ice, and another pair of dragon wings appeared behind him, while radiating the unique pressure of the Dragon King.

As the aura of the Dragon King appeared, the dragon whales immediately became restless and cried out uneasily. This change made Zhu Ziyang very happy. He did not expect that the Dragon King's pressure attached to the dragon wings alone could make more than a dozen ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts feel uneasy. If he were to unleash his full dragon might, would the group of dragon whales disperse?

Before Zhu Ziyang could even begin his experiment, an even louder dragon roar erupted from the bottom of the ocean, bursting out of the sea and reaching the ears of Zhu Ziyang and Zhang Lexuan. The two were startled at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly, both thinking of the same thing: the real culprit had arrived!

As expected, after the dragon's roar, a creature even larger than all the dragon whales present combined burst out of the sea. Its thousand-meter-long body created waves hundreds of meters high before it tumbled in the air and landed steadily on the sea without causing a single ripple. Such terrifying water control ability made Zhu Ziyang and Zhang Lexuan's hearts sink, realizing that what followed was likely to be a tough battle.

but

This colossal creature, measuring a thousand meters in length, must be the Dragon King that Tian Lei Luo Hu mentioned. Its appearance certainly lives up to the title of Dragon King, with a dragon's head and a fish's body, a slender form, purple-gold dragon scales all over its body, and dragon fins on its back. Compared to those unknown dragon whales, its dragon bloodline is undoubtedly purer and more concentrated.

"You possess the bloodline of the Dragon King. Who are you?" The Dragon King stared intently at Zhu Ziyang and asked in a rather majestic female voice.

"I am the current Ice Dragon King, and who are you?" Upon hearing the Dragon King's question, Zhu Ziyang immediately had an idea. He then released his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a giant dragon with a kingly aura. His golden dragon eyes held an air of superior majesty and indifference as he spoke.

"Ice Dragon King!" The dragon king was indeed intimidated by Zhu Ziyang's appearance and the strong dragon king aura emanating from him. He subconsciously bowed his head to him first, and then immediately replied, "I am the Azure Dragon Whale King, Purple-Gold Chiwen, Ninth Ling!"

Chiwen, the ninth son of the Dragon God, is said to be the offspring of the Dragon God and the primordial blue whale, and the origin of the dragon whale race. Zhu Ziyang never expected to encounter a living Chiwen in the waters of Sixiang Island. However, judging from its appearance, this purple-gold Chiwen should have evolved from the sky-blue dragon whale.

"Chiwen? Ninth Ling?" Second Frost was also excited after hearing the words of the Purple-Gold Chiwen. She immediately reverted to her true form, and a giant dragon similar to Zhu Ziyang's martial soul true form appeared. The same dragon king aura and the same extreme ice caused the Purple-Gold Chiwen, who was unaware of the truth, to subconsciously take a step back.

"You...you two?" She looked at Zhu Ziyang and Di Ershuang in disbelief and confusion, her eyes darting back and forth between them. Zhu Ziyang's aura of the Dragon King had already filled her with apprehension, which was why she had ignored his strength and chosen to bow in respect. Now, Di Ershuang was displaying the same Dragon King aura as Zhu Ziyang, but her strength far surpassed his, reaching the same level as hers. This filled the Purple-Gold Chiwen with fear.

Although as a Chiwen, she could be immune to some of the suppression of the Dragon King's aura, this was only possible if there was only one Dragon King, and even then, their strength couldn't surpass hers by too much. In this era where all the first-generation Dragon Kings had perished, Ninth Ling, a Chiwen with a cultivation level of 600,000, never imagined that she would encounter two Dragon King successors, one of whom was even stronger than her. Wasn't this just bullying an honest person?

"What are you and your people planning to do by blocking our way?" Zhu Ziyang, feigning authority and displaying the Dragon King's majesty, questioned.

"I meant no offense, nor did my people," Ninth Ling said immediately. "We originally thought you and your companions were beings from Four Symbols Island. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we will take our leave so as not to delay your journey."

Having said that, Ninth Cold slapped her tail, and more than ten Azure Dragon Whales immediately dived into the sea. Then she turned around and prepared to leave. She wisely chose to retreat, not intending to fight Zhu Ziyang and his group to the death. Originally, she ordered the Azure Dragon Whale clan to blockade Four Symbols Island to demonstrate against the four Beast Kings on the island. Zhu Ziyang and his group were clearly not from Four Symbols Island, so there was no need to stop them!

The ability to bend and stretch is an excellent quality of Ninth Cold. She immediately prepared to leave, but Zhu Ziyang had no intention of letting her leave so easily.

"Wait!" Zhu Ziyang called out, "I have something I want to ask you!"

"Huh?" Ninth Ling felt offended. She had already backed down, so why did this seemingly weak Ice Dragon King still want to push his luck? She decided to listen to what Zhu Ziyang was going to say, and then decide what to do next. If it went too far, then she was sorry, Ninth Ling would not play along. She said, "Please ask."

"Have you heard of the Eastern Continent? Or do you know where the nearest continent to this sea is?" Zhu Ziyang asked. Hearing his question, Zhang Lexuan finally understood Zhu Ziyang's intention in stopping the purple-gold dragon, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When Ninth Ling heard Zhu Ziyang's question, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. What? He just wanted directions. Feeling relieved, she began to think about Zhu Ziyang's question. After a long while, she said, "I do know of a continent, but I'm not sure if it's the Eastern Continent you mentioned."

"It's okay, tell me." Zhu Ziyang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that his casual question would actually yield results.

"About a thousand years ago, I encountered a Xuanjia Swordfish King that came from the east. That Xuanjia Swordfish King had a cultivation level of about 300,000 years. It mentioned that it swam from the near sea of ​​a continent, which is located northeast of the Four Symbols Island. It might be the Eastern Continent you mentioned," Ninth Ling said with a look of reminiscence.

"Northeast? How far away?" Zhu Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

"I don't know the distance, after all, I've only heard about it." Ninth Ling's voice was filled with helplessness as he said, "That Xuanjia Swordfish King tried to seize my territory, but I killed it. I don't know how long it took to swim here."

"I see, what a pity!" Zhu Ziyang sighed upon hearing this, and said, "Any other clues?"

"That's all!" Ninth Ling answered decisively.

"Alright, thank you very much!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang had no choice but to give up. After thanking Ninth Ling, he said, "You can go now."

Upon hearing this, Ninth Ling didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately diving into the water and disappearing. Zhu Ziyang retracted his Martial Soul True Body and returned to the Moon God Shuttle with Zhang Lexuan to discuss the information they had learned from the Soul Beast.

"Brother, you were so cool just now! Even the Purple-Gold Chiwen was stunned!" Jiang Nannan said, looking at Zhu Ziyang with eyes full of admiration. The conversation between Zhu Ziyang and Ninth Ling could be heard inside the shuttle, which is why the girl said that.

"That Purple-Gold Chiwen seems to have said that you and Shuang'er are the Ice Dragon King, why is that?" Qian Lingyi asked.

"Hehe, we'll talk about that later. Let's discuss whether we should go to that possible continent that Zijin Chiwen mentioned, located northeast of Sixiang Island?" Zhu Ziyang smiled and said, "My idea is to go. After all, we don't have a clear goal right now, so we might as well try our luck."

"That's what I think too," Zhang Lexuan said. "We have plenty of supplies right now, so we don't need to worry about the flight distance."

"Then let's go!" Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi both agreed.

So, after adjusting its course on the sea, the Moon Goddess Shuttle shot out like lightning and plunged into the unknown ocean!
