Upon hearing this, a flicker of disappointment passed through the eyes of the Sect Master Lie Tian, but he did not dare to press the matter.
Elder Yu Sha’s face was ashen, like that of a corpse. He knew he had utterly offended this terrifying existence.
At that moment, Chen Ping seemed to recall something. He looked at the Sect Master Lie Tian and then at the countless beast clan cultivators below the platform, their gazes filled with awe, fear, and curiosity. He let out a soft sigh.
“You seem to place great importance on bloodlines and oppressive pressure?”
Without waiting for a response, Chen Ping slowly closed his eyes.
The next instant, an aura completely different from his previous sword intent, ancient, vast, noble, and supremely majestic, began to emanate slowly from his body. It was as if a primordial supreme being, dormant for countless ages, had awakened!
At first, it was merely a trace, but soon it erupted like a volcano, or burst forth like a vast ocean breaching its banks!
“Roar!!!”
A dragon’s roar, seemingly from the primordial wilderness, traversing endless time and space, suddenly resounded from within Chen Ping. It echoed deep in the souls of everyone present!
Then, under the horrified gazes of all, an enormous golden dragon phantom, radiating brilliant golden light throughout its body, soared into the sky from behind Chen Ping and coiled above the Myriad Beast Altar!
The golden dragon phantom was almost substantial, its scales and claws vivid. Its majestic eyes surveyed those below, like a sovereign inspecting his subjects!
Pure, immense, and supremely exalted dragon might poured down like the Milky Way from the ninth heaven, enveloping the entire Myriad Beast Altar and every person present!
Under this absolute pressure, originating from the deepest bloodline and the pinnacle of life’s hierarchy,
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
Like a tide, starting from the disciples at the outermost edges, whether first-grade or fifth-grade Heavenly Immortal, whether ordinary disciples or deacons and elders, everyone uncontrollably felt their legs weaken. They knelt down involuntarily!
Even Elder Xiong Tuo and the distraught Elder Yu Sha on the high platform were no exception. They fell to their knees, bodies trembling. It was a shiver of submission arising from their very souls and bloodlines!
Finally, even the strongest among them, the Sect Master Lie Tian himself, could only hold out for a single instant longer under this vast dragon might, majestic as an emperor’s and boundless as a starry sea.
His divine soul shook, his bloodline stagnated. An irresistible urge to submit surged from the depths of his heart. With difficulty, filled with immense shock and reverence, he dropped to one knee and lowered his proud head!
On the Myriad Beast Altar, the multitudes knelt in submission!
Only the cyan-robed figure stood with hands clasped behind his back, his expression calm.
The golden dragon shadow circled and roared above his head, setting him off like a deity descended to the mortal world.
His gaze swept peacefully over the kneeling crowd below, observing the boundless shock, fear, and devout reverence born from their bloodlines on their faces. Yet his heart remained undisturbed, like an ancient well without ripples.
After a long while, the vast dragon might and the golden dragon shadow slowly retracted, finally dissipating into nothingness.
The pressure lifted, but the shock in everyone’s hearts lingered, impossible to calm.
They remained kneeling on the ground. No one dared to rise first. Their gazes towards Chen Ping had utterly transformed into the fervent reverence one reserves for a god.
Dragon clan!
And the noblest golden dragon among the dragon clan!
No wonder he was so powerful!
No wonder he scorned the position of supreme elder in the Myriad Beast Sect!
Before the noble golden dragon, they, as beast clans, were indeed no different from subjects!
The Sect Master Lie Tian slowly raised his head. His voice carried boundless respect and a slight tremor as he asked, “Senior… you… who exactly are you…”
Chen Ping looked down upon them and finally spoke. His voice was calm, yet it carried a power that settled the universe.
“My name is Chen Ping.”
“I bear a blood-deep enmity with the Myriad Soul Demon Sect.”
“From this day forward, if the Myriad Beast Sect is willing to aid me in exterminating the demonic sect, I can ensure that you will have a place in these Ten Heavens.”
These understated words exploded like thunder in everyone’s hearts.
In this moment, no one doubted, no one mocked, no one dared show the slightest contempt.
There was only absolute submission, and… the boundless aspiration to follow the strong and stride towards glory!
