Netherworld Chapter 142: Love and Tao (3)
I was dozens of miles away from the body of the Heavenly Emperor. Even at such a long distance, the black dragon still looked huge.
It swam, its claws and teeth bared, as if it had torn through the void. I saw it chasing the child, its huge body extending continuously. It was unimaginable, as if someone had covered its back half with something.
However, this is by no means a so-called sleight of hand.
When the black dragon's body was fully revealed, it was roughly estimated that its length was more than 200 meters. Because from my angle, I could just see it swimming beside the Emperor of Heaven, and it was about half the length of the Emperor of Heaven's shoulders.
It’s incredible…
I was just sighing with emotion when I heard another earth-shaking dragon roar.
A pitch-black dragon head emerged from the void after the previous one fully displayed its grace.
In comparison, this black dragon was even faster, and it completely emerged in just a few seconds. It moved forward at an extremely fast speed, competing with the previous one.
"hold head high……"
The dragon roar sounded again, and I felt like my eyeballs were about to pop out, because three pitch-black dragon heads appeared one after another from the void.
The three black dragons had only emerged halfway when five dragon roars sounded one after another.
The scene in front of me almost made my brain explode. With my limited brain capacity, I can no longer contain such a shocking scene.
The pitch-black dragon entangled itself front and back, swimming towards the strange child in the air.
I can't see them baring their fangs and claws, but I can certainly imagine it.
I don't know what that baby is, but I can be sure that it is definitely not a normal human baby. No baby would be so dark, it's not the skin color of a black person, but it looks like it can suck away a person's soul.
And where did those nine huge black dragons come from?
The old Taoist once said that there were no real dragons in the world any more. Even if the Dragon Lord was destroyed and then rebuilt, with such a solid foundation, eating the golden bone pieces and absorbing the essence of the Winged Eared Snake, he could only transform into a Dragon with a high probability.
As for transforming into a dragon, it is more complicated and difficult than for a mortal to become an immortal.
But right before my eyes, nine black dragons appeared one after the other, chasing a strange baby.
This is not a movie. Even with the most advanced technology in the world, it is impossible to fully present this scene. Because there are too many things involved.
No matter whether it was the descendants of the emperor who were guarding the feet of the Emperor of Heaven, or the crowds fighting in other directions, they all stopped at this moment.
I could hear no shouting or screaming, only the occasional dragon roar and the constant whistling coming from the distance.
Before this, I was confused about whether dragons existed. I believe that there are dragons in the world because the ancients were not completely ignorant.
Therefore, the totem theory, the dinosaur theory, and the fiction theory are all untenable. When the origin of myths cannot be verified, when many myths demonstrate the secret of origin, and when we cannot explain myths, the result of scientific argumentation is that all of this is fiction, and if there is any similarity... then it is definitely impossible.
The existence of science is to constantly overturn the arguments of predecessors, so science is a subject that cannot draw complete conclusions.
Those who say with certainty that dragons are fictional are making their conclusions in an imprecise manner.
Because people are tired of this, they can't find the real dragon, they are tired, so they give up. If you want to give up or want to relax, according to the mentality of Chinese people, there must be a proper reason.
Then, many theories emerged.
Fiction says that nature is the most relaxing reason for them.
Before, when I heard the Taoist priest mention the word "dragon", I just treated it as a myth, because at that time I had not been exposed to so many mythological things.
And now, nine black dragons, hundreds of meters long, are swimming dozens of miles in front of me.
If I had a camera, I would have taken photos of it all. At that time, the shattered glasses all over the world could be connected together to circle the earth 108 times!
Unfortunately, I can only see with my eyes and remember with my brain.
All of this is destined to exist only in memory and cannot be passed on to the world.
Just like those myths... Perhaps, this is part of the limitation of the Heavenly Code, which prevents things that shock the world and make ghosts weep from being fully revealed to mortals.
At this moment, the small black dot in the distance suddenly enlarged rapidly.
In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a black round bead almost the same size as the dragon's head.
The moment the black bead appeared, nine dragon roars shook the earth and made my head dizzy.
I saw nine black dragons roaring and rushing towards the black pearl at a faster speed than before. They were entangled, head and tail intertwined, and kept rolling in the air.
Four words suddenly popped up in my mind: Nine Dragons Seizing the Pearl.
The sound of a child crying in the black beads was extremely mournful. This sound was louder and more erratic than before.
In the next second, the black bead fell straight from mid-air to the ground. In the blink of an eye, it passed through a thousand meters in the sky and disappeared into the ground below.
A piece of the talisman was shattered by the black bead, emitting a light like an explosion.
"hold head high……"
Nine dragon roars sounded again, and this time, they were several times louder than before.
If the previous sounds sounded like someone shouting, then this sound was like a loudspeaker was placed next to the mouth.
I subconsciously covered my ears, but I still felt a sharp pain in my ears, which was a sign that my eardrums were almost shattered.
The pitch-black dragon shook its head and tail, swooping down from the sky.
They were incredibly fast, approaching the ground in the blink of an eye. Pitch-black mist poured out from them, like a black fog covering the sky, covering the ground.
As if feeling threatened, all the talismans around the Emperor of Heaven counterattacked in a brighter way. Runes floated up from the ground, and the black mist that came into contact with them immediately dissipated.
However, the fog was nothing; the nine giant dragons that followed were the real threat.
Their huge dragon bodies are like mountains.
The fangs and claws were bared, making people feel shocked and frightened even from dozens of miles away. Although not as powerful as the might of heaven, it was still like a god. It was the momentum of a natural god, which was incomparable to humans.
The black dragon rushed down from the sky with astonishingly fierce momentum. All the rising runes along the way collided with the dragon's body and were immediately shattered.
In just a few seconds, nine giant dragons had already rushed to the ground. The talisman became brighter, and chain-like patterns crisscrossed on the ground. As if to increase the power, talismans also lit up on the ground farther away from the Emperor of Heaven.
Those descendants of the emperor's bloodline who failed to hide far away disappeared silently in an instant, and the pure air transformed from their flesh and blood was absorbed by the talisman.
This strange scene made everyone feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. The people of the Emperor's Vein exploded like frightened birds and beasts, and fled in all directions.
The resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven is their dream.
But staying alive is the most important thing. No normal person would want to die for no reason.
Just as the imperial veins were retreating in all directions, the nine black dragons had already come into contact with the talisman on the ground.
Like an oversized searchlight in the ground, a bright reddish-blue light shone on the earth for the first time. This light was different from natural light or light produced by the power of Taoism. It was more refined, and some translucent characters were faintly visible.
However, just as all this was beginning, nine giant dragons came crashing down like mountains, and everything shattered like bubbles.
I saw that it was as if a bomb had exploded under the Emperor's feet, and the "mud" flew up and disappeared completely in mid-air. That was not real mud, but the fundamental material that constituted this strange world of the underworld.
It's hard to understand and hard to explain.
The black dragon broke all the runes, causing a shocking turbulence. Just two or three seconds after they completely sank into the ground, the entire underworld seemed to be destroyed.
The fire clouds in the sky split apart, and the scorched earth on the ground collapsed. An indescribable feeling of oppression came from the sky and the earth.
I saw black things appearing in the sky and on the ground.
Everything covering it melted away in the blink of an eye like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
This thing is so huge that it covers the entire underworld from top to bottom, making it impossible to guess what it is.
All I know is that when this thing appeared, a cold wind suddenly started howling around me.
It can be guessed that it is not until now that the gap in the lock of the fiefdom has been truly opened.
