146: Done! Out again! The Supreme Saint Mother emerges from the world...

"Catch him, don't let him escape!"

At this moment, a dragon was soaring in the boundless sky.

Behind him, many dragons like him were chasing at full speed.

The clouds they passed through were scattered by the terrifying air currents.

The dragon leading the chase saw that he was being closely pursued.

He exerted more force, and his speed increased by a few points.

Soon, his desperate escape proved effective, and the distance between them widened further.

But as everyone knows, he escapes, they chase, he has no wings to fly!

Constantly running away does not solve problems.

Yet reality also tells him that if he doesn't run away, the problem will solve him on the spot.

Under the many encirclements and interceptions, escape was ultimately futile.

In the end, he still had to face the judgment of fate.

As he continued to flee, he suddenly realized that dragons were already waiting for him ahead, like waiting for a rabbit by a stump.

He tried to escape downwards, but that path was also blocked.

Helpless, he could only fly upwards.

He had to fly higher, fly even higher!

However, what he could think of, other dragons naturally could too.

Unsurprisingly, the path above had already been blocked by dragon forces.

Now, there truly was no way to heaven and no door to earth.

Finally, he stopped.

Seeing this, the dragons who were chasing and intercepting him also slowed down.

They slowly surrounded him.

He gave a desolate smile, "To think that I, Yuan Chuan, was brilliant my entire life! Yet I failed to achieve the Xuanzun Realm.

Helpless, I took a risk and became greedy for the birthday gift sent by the Dragon Emperor.

I originally thought that if I could break through to the Xuan Supreme Realm with it, I could atone for my sins, and this matter would be written off.

Alas, I ultimately failed.

In the end, it was my greed that harmed me!"

The dragons capturing him sternly said, "Yuan Chuan, you are fantasizing.

Is the Xuanzun Realm something someone of your caliber can break through to?

I advise you not to act rashly, and surrender obediently.

When we hand you over to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, you might still receive a lighter sentence!"

At this moment, Yuan Chuan simply threw caution to the wind and burst into rampant laughter,

"Hahahahaha!

Although I, Yuan Chuan, failed to break through to the Xuanzun Realm by refining the Primordial Three Souls Realm.

But because of it, I reached the peak of the Mystic Emperor Realm.

Rather than returning to face humiliation, death, or imprisonment, I'd rather die in a grand blaze of glory.

All of you, come and be buried with me!

Hahahahahahaha!"

Suddenly, the energy of heaven and earth converged towards Yuan Chuan.

The energy within Yuan Chuan's body began to become incredibly violent, as if out of control.

All the dragons present fled in terror, "He actually dares to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth so recklessly, without refining it, and regardless of quantity."

"If such a massive amount of energy explodes, not a single one of us here will survive.

Even those who are lucky enough not to die will be half-crippled!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"No, it's too late!"

"Time is too short, we can't make it!"

At this moment, Yuan Chuan had pretty much finished his preparations.

If he absorbed any more, he himself would explode first.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death, what was he afraid of death for?

The main reason was that if he were to explode from being overfilled with spiritual energy,

Then, because the spiritual energy wouldn't have been detonated by him, its power would be greatly reduced.

So, when his body developed numerous cracks and fissures, looking exactly like a porcelain object about to shatter,

Yuan Chuan gave a sinister smile, "All of you, go to hell!"

As he spoke, his body violently exploded.

Terrifying energy overflowed in all directions, spreading outwards from Yuan Chuan as the center.

If this power were calculated using Chen De's previous life's methods, who knew how many atomic and hydrogen bombs it would be equivalent to.

The countless Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragons who had come to encircle and intercept, knowing they couldn't escape,

Couldn't help but cry out in despair, "No!"

Just as the terrifying shockwave was about to reach these Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragons.

At this moment.

"How dare you!"

A furious roar came from the sky, and an even more terrifying pressure descended upon the scene.

The explosion wave generated by Yuan Chuan's self-detonation stopped dead in its tracks, unable to advance an inch, just a tiny distance in front of the Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragons.

These waves were clearly energy-like substances.

But at this moment, they seemed to be completely still, remaining exactly where they were, just about to hit, unmoving.

Just like a specimen model.

Then, a giant, sky-obscuring crimson-gold dragon claw appeared in the field.

With a sweep of the claw, the area where the explosion had just occurred vanished without a trace.

Yuan Chuan, along with the remnants he left behind, completely and utterly disappeared from this world.

Many dragons had not yet recovered from the recent explosion, gasping for breath.

But soon they realized that someone had appeared and saved them.

At this moment, the owner of the crimson-gold claw also appeared on the scene.

Just like Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King Lei Kan, when he appeared, it was as if he materialized out of thin air.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the dragons present all bowed, "Greetings, Fourth Elder, we thank Fourth Elder for saving our lives!"

The Fourth Elder was, of course, the Fourth Elder of the Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragon — Yuan Chang.

In terms of cultivation, he was an existence around the third stage of the Xuan Supreme Realm.

Compared to Thunder Kan, he was quite a bit weaker.

Thunder Kan was a powerful expert at the peak of the seventh stage of the Xuan Supreme Realm.

Such strength allowed his Thunder Howling Sky Dragon Clan to rank as the second among the twelve lineages.

He had the potential to break through to the eighth stage of the Xuanzun Realm at any time, making the Dragon Emperor spend a large sum to win him over.

As for the Dragon King of the first lineage, the Azure Abyss Yao Guang Dragon Clan, he was an existence at the ninth stage of the Xuanzun Realm.

At this level, he had a certain say even when facing the Dragon Emperor.

Moreover, he held extremely high prestige among the twelve lineages.

In Chen De's words, he could be called the Dragon Clan's Executive Vice Clan Leader, or Vice Dragon Emperor.

Yuan Chang looked at these disheveled dragons, his expression very displeased, "I sent you to catch one dragon, and you made such a mess.

If I hadn't arrived just in time, I'm afraid few of you would have survived."

Hearing this, all the Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragons present lowered their heads in shame.

Yuan Chang was clearly still angry, "His Majesty the Dragon Emperor wanted Yuan Chuan captured alive and brought back to see him, and you made such a mess."

The dragons immediately lowered their heads even further.

Yuan Chang snorted coldly, "Let's go, the matter is over, why are you still staying here?

To make a spectacle of yourselves? Are you not ashamed enough?

Let's see how you will report to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor when you return!"

With that, he turned and left, though his speed was a little slower, allowing the dragons to just barely keep up.

The dragons, of course, dared not even breathe heavily, not daring to utter a single word.

They slunk back, following behind Fourth Elder Yuan Chang.

...

On the other side, Chen De naturally immediately sensed the news of Yuan Chuan's death.

It's done!

Chen De thought to himself.

Then, he took two steps forward, looking at the scene before him.

That was...
