“That’s because these red armor soldiers are not weak either.” Ling Qingfeng explained. “See those ten thousand Celestial Cultivation soldiers? They are forming an Earth-God level battle formation, which can exert Earth-God strength. Also, there’s a Two-star Earth-God instrument in the formation for both offensive and defensive attacks!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Mm, I see that. That battle formation alone is enough to keep the Dragon Emperor occupied.”
Ling Qingfeng continued, “Not to mention that their God-Ascension and Ethereal Cultivation elites are greater in number than us and they each have one Earth-God instrument more than we do!”
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes as he deliberated. “The enemy may have more people and more Earth-God instruments, but you have dragon blood! Don’t you have the advantage?”
Ling Qingfeng shook her head. “The Spirit Light is probably too bright for you to see clearly but the enemy’s God-Ascension and Ethereal Cultivation elites also have dragon’s blood!”
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, focusing intently. “I see it now! The enemy has red dragon scales! Could they be the descendants of a vermilion dragon?”
“Yes! We, the Divine Dragon tribe are the descendants of the Azure Dragon, and they, the Vermilion Dragon!” Ling Qingfeng confirmed. “As a whole, in number, combat power, Earth-God instruments, and blood Special Ability, they are far superior to us! That’s why no matter how hard we fought for the past month, we couldn’t drive them away!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded. “If that’s the case, it must have been quite a daunting task to even get a draw with the enemy!”
“Yeah… It wasn’t easy at all…” Ling Qingfeng said. “Because neither side has an Earth-God, we had to rely on Spiritual Qi to use the Earth-God Instruments. That’s why after each battle, the enemy would always retreat into a formation to top up on Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Stones. We, on the other hand, can just absorb Spiritual Qi from the Divine Dragon’s remains, which means we can use our Earth-God Instruments without taking any breaks. That’s how we’ve been able to maintain our fight in the battle and end up in a draw.” Ling Qingfeng could not help but heave a deep sigh. “If it were not for the Divine Dragon’s body, we would have fallen already!”
Chen Xiaobei said reassuringly, “Don’t worry! Now that I’m here, I will help you take care of this problem!”
“Do you have a plan already?” Ling Qingfeng looked at Chen Xiaobei with hopeful eyes.
“It looks like the enemy is going to retreat!” Chen Xiaobei said. “We’ll wait for your people to return. The first thing we’ll do is to piece that Earth-God Instrument together, find out its secrets within, and then figure out what to do next!”
“Okay!” Ling Qingfeng nodded. “I have a very strong feeling… that Earth-God Instrument must be the key solution!”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the red silhouettes in the battlefield shielded each other before retreating and blending into the formation which was made up of 10,000 Celestial Cultivation soldiers.
They were replenishing Spiritual Qi for their Earth-God Instruments, and of course, to rest, and replenish their Ethereal Force in their dantian.
Only once they had rested, would the battle continue.
The Divine Dragon tribe had eased their blood’s special ability and began retreating a few hundred meters backward.
Although they could use the Spiritual Qi from the Divine Dragon’s carcass to continue powering the Earth-God instruments, they too needed to rest and recover after the long period of battle.
This endless cycle of fighting and resting had become a routine for the past month.
This was a seesaw battle where the winners and losers were not quickly determined but depended on who could last longer.
Soon, the Divine Dragon royal family returned.
“Little Seventeen! Why are you here?” An old but well-built white-haired old man asked.
Ling Qingfeng was the youngest among the seventeen adult Divine Dragon princes.
“Greetings!” Ling Qingfeng bowed. “I am also one of the princes. I have to contribute too!”
“Mm… a very good intention you have there!” The Dragon Emperor nodded. “But the battle is growing fierce. With your cultivation, you better not join the fight! You should just go back!”
“My cultivation is not high but I brought the key solution to win the battle!” Ling Qingfeng said.
“Win the battle? Him?” The Emperor’s gaze fell on Chen Xiaobei.
The twenty or more members of the royal family also looked at Chen Xiaobei at the same time.
They were all very curious at first but when they saw that there was nothing special about Chen Xiaobei, their curiosity quickly turned into disappointment.
Ling Qingfeng broke the silence. “Let me introduce you – this is the person who forced me out of number eleven on the Nine Zone leaderboard. Childe Chen! Chen Zhufeng!”
The Emperor nodded. “Childe Chen’s name has been spreading around the Nine Zones like a wildfire! He really is an outstanding young man! You said he could help us win the battle? Isn’t that a little too much of an exaggeration?”
Everyone else nodded. They did not believe Ling Qingfeng either.
“Grandpa! I’m not making false claims!” Ling Qingfeng protested. “Since you’ve heard of Childe Chen, didn’t you hear about how he saved the Neptunes from complete destruction?”
The Dragon Emperor shrugged. “We’ve all heard the rumors but we never saw it with our own eyes! You say that Childe Chen helped the Neptunes to solve their problems but there are also people claiming that it was Childe Chen’s powerful backup that managed to solve it!”
“That…” Ling Qingfeng found herself tongue-tied.
The Emperor continued, “Little Seventeen, I believe that Childe Zhufeng came out of the goodness of his heart to help us but he’s at least two years younger than you! I find it hard to believe that he could help us win this battle!”
“Grandpa! Listen to me…” Ling Qingfeng frowned.
“Enough. I’m tired. I need to rest!” The Emperor said. “For the sake of Childe Zhufeng’s safety, you better take him away from here as soon as possible!”
The Emperor and the rest of the royal family turned to leave.
Sure they needed rest, but they also did not believe that Chen Xiaobei could be the key to solving their problems.
“Everyone, listen to me!” Ling Qingfeng shouted. “Childe Zhufeng is not a common man! He has an Earth-God level Spiritual Beast, and high-ranking dragon blood! Also, he found the last piece of the fragment for us!”
“What? How is that possible?”
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
None of them could believe what they were hearing.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I really have come to help you guys!”
