Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1051 - 1049: One Belt Three, Leaping Through the Dragon Gate!
Chapter 1051: Chapter 1049: One Belt Three, Leaping Through the Dragon Gate!
Dragon Emperor Tomb.
The massive dragon gate before them emanated a sense of vast majesty and ancientness.
Especially on the four stone pillars on either side, each had a lifelike and ferocious dragon coiled around it.
Auspicious clouds surrounded, and a thousand colors of good fortune intertwined.
The fierce and mighty dragon carvings, with teeth bared and claws outstretched, seemed as if they could break free from the pillars at any moment and soar into the boundless heavens.
"Finally, we’ve finally arrived!"
Tears of joy streaked down Ning Delun’s face, as he was overwhelmed with emotions.
Throughout this century.
He couldn’t count how many nights he dreamt of this place, of those companions who had perished in the Dragon Emperor Tomb; now revisiting the old site, he was filled with endless sentiments.
Hua Qianxiu forcefully swallowed saliva, feeling that choosing to submit to Xiao Yi from the start was the most correct decision he had ever made.
Otherwise...
No doubt he would still be cautiously avoiding all sorts of traps and mechanisms on the Ancient Paths between heaven and earth.
Or, like Shark Dominator and Octopus Devil Sovereign, he might have met with a miserable manipulation at their hands.
How could he have arrived at the Dragon Emperor Tomb so easily and safely as he did now?
Qiu Yiyun asked with a grave voice, "Old Ning, what should we do now? Go straight through this gate?"
Ning Delun shook his head and said, "We must pass over the top of the dragon gate!"
Over the top of the dragon gate?
Qiu Yiyun frowned and said, "Why should we go over it when there’s a perfectly good gate? What’s the reasoning?"
Hua Qianxiu nodded, equally puzzled.
Xiao Yi studied the tall and majestic dragon gate, his palm lightly stroking his chin, saying, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be the legendary Dragon Gate from the tale of the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, right?"
"Lord Xiao is correct, this is indeed the Dragon Gate from the tale of the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. To pass through successfully, one can only cross over it, from directly above. If you go directly under the dragon gate..."
Ning Delun pointed at the eight ferocious and authoritative dragon statues on the stone pillars, "These eight fellows will launch an attack simultaneously!"
Hiss!
Hua Qianxiu gasped, murmuring, "If it weren’t for Old Ning’s intervention, I definitely would have charged straight through the gate. This Dragon Emperor Tomb truly is fraught with traps and crises at every turn..."
An attack by these eight statues together would unleash the force equivalent to a peak Heaven Venerate Realm contender.
Even a Supreme Venerate Realm expert who accidentally blunders into this, if caught off guard, would find it difficult to escape unscathed.
Hua Qianxiu, being only of Heaven Venerate Realm cultivation, would have likely suffered grave injuries if he had rashly intruded just now.
Ning Delun continued, "There is an Array that forbids flight within the Dragon Emperor Tomb, we cannot fly. We can only cross the dragon gate using our movement technique, and furthermore..."
Before he could finish.
Hua Qianxiu laughed loudly, "This Dragon Gate is merely a hundred zhang tall; a mere leap is all it takes to pass over!"
Whoosh!
Hua Qianxiu leapt high up, skimming past the dragon gate.
However...
As Hua Qianxiu’s body soared tens of zhang into the air, just as he was about to cross the dragon gate, at that exact moment...
A terrifying pressure emerged suddenly, in an instant, as if thousands of heavy chains had locked onto his body.
It was as if hundreds of incredibly strong men were pulling him towards the ground with all their might.
"Damn it..."
With a scream, Hua Qianxiu slammed harshly onto the ground with a thud.
In the ground, a human-shaped crater; his arms and legs twitching violently, his head covered in dirt as he looked up, puzzled, "I thought just jumping over it would do? What’s going on?"
With his cultivation, even if he couldn’t fly due to the Array, surely he should have easily cleared that height with just his physical strength!
Ning Delun barely held back his laughter and said, "You’re too impulsive, not even waiting for me to finish. When Crossing the Dragon Gate, you must overcome two hurdles: the suppression of force and the intimidation of oppressive aura. Otherwise, you can’t cross over the dragon gate!"
"..."
Hua Qianxiu was completely bemused.
Qiu Yiyun said, "Let me give it a try!"
Whoosh!
Qiu Yiyun leaped high, his speed faster, his jump higher.
Indeed, he jumped higher than Hua Qianxiu, getting even closer to success.
But...
Just as he was about to cross the Dragon Gate, a dragon silhouette abruptly emerged within Wukong, its ferocious dragon head suddenly opened its jaws wide and emitted a thunderous roar.
Roar! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Qiu Yiyun’s head buzzed, and he instantly went blank.
Whoosh!
Like a falling star, Qiu Yiyun smashed hard onto the ground, his mouth full of dust.
Raising his head and spitting out a mouthful of sand, Qiu Yiyun bitterly smiled and said, "This Dragon Gate is too difficult, isn’t it?"
Having been prepared, the gravitational suppression of the first checkpoint was not an issue.
But the oppression of the dragon’s might made him feel a profound sense of powerlessness.
This was an attack on the soul, utterly indefensible!
Looking disheveled, Qiu Yiyun asked, "Ning, how did you get through the Dragon Gate back then?"
Ning Delun bitterly smiled and said, "Back then, we broke through from beneath the Dragon Gate. In order to pass, half of my companions perished, including one at the peak of the Heaven Venerate Realm..."
The expressions of a few people changed slightly.
Passing from under the Dragon Gate had actually resulted in the loss of half of the powerhouses.
One could imagine just how perilous it was to pass underneath the Dragon Gate.
"What should we do now?"
"Lord Xiao, why don’t you pass over the Dragon Gate first, then we can think of other methods?"
A few people tentatively asked.
Xiao Yi waved his hand dismissively and said with ease, "Why bother with such trouble? Come to my side, you three!"
"Ah?"
The three of them were startled.
They understood what Xiao Yi meant; he was planning to use his own strength to take the three of them across the Dragon Gate!
Having personally experienced the terror of the Dragon Gate, Qiu Yiyun bitterly shook his head and said, "Lord Xiao, it may be possible for you to pass alone, but with the three of us, the difficulty could increase tenfold, this..."
"Lord Xiao, let’s just forget it..."
The three of them persuaded.
"What kind of man whines like an old woman? I’m not afraid of failing, what are you worried about?"
Xiao Yi, growing impatient, waved his hand and then with a flick of his palm, the power of the innate wrapped around the three of them.
His eyes gazed at the sky; his knees bent slightly, followed by the instant release of unparalleled terrifying power from his muscles that were taut to their limits.
Boom!
Xiao Yi, like an arrow released from its bow, shot high into the air.
Swoosh! He surged into the air with great speed.
At his side...
Wrapped in the power of the innate, Ning Delun and the other two leaped up high as well.
Hum!
Numerous terrifying forces of suppression emanated from the void, but these forces were as good as nonexistent in front of Xiao Yi.
Crack!
A series of crisp sounds.
The obstructive forces shattered one after another.
As they were about to reach above the Dragon Gate...
That dragon silhouette once again appeared.
"It’s over!"
"This dragon silhouette is ten times larger than my previous one, the dragon’s might can only be more terrifying, we’re doomed to fail..."
Qiu Yiyun’s face was filled with despair.
But at that moment.
Xiao Yi was actually the first to speak to that dragon silhouette, his voice thunderous as a roar explosively burst forth from his mouth, "Scram!"
Rumbling!
Under the rolling sound waves, that dragon silhouette burst apart sound by sound.
Under the dumbfounded and shocked gazes of the three, Xiao Yi led them in one leap over this Dragon Gate...
