The words fell, and the array shattered!

Bang!

With a loud bang, the array broke open, and Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable were struck by the terrifying impact of Spiritual Power and Dao Power, sent hurtling backward, and crashing heavily to the ground after flying millions of miles.

Everyone else was affected to varying degrees.

Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable climbed out of a deep pit in a sorry state, only to see Chen Lan arriving before them, riding a Phoenix.

"Damn it, your strength is truly beyond my imagination." Duobao Daoist Venerable spoke in shock, knowing Chen Lan was strong, but not expecting him to be this strong!

The reputation of being first in combat power is well-deserved; he easily broke through the Five Elements Destruction Array. Now, only that move can be used.

"What should we do? Do we have any backup plans?" Chen Han anxiously transmitted to Duobao Daoist Venerable.

She had no backup plans left; if Duobao had none either, the two of them were surely doomed today!

"Dragon God, assist me!!!" Suddenly, Duobao Daoist Venerable pulled out a mysterious object, raising his head to shout.

Chen Han was stunned, looking at the object in Duobao Daoist Venerable's hand in surprise. It was a statue carved in the shape of a five-clawed dragon, the true form of the Dragon God.

Seeing this statue, Chen Han was dumbfounded: "The Dragon God statue, how do you have this?!"

"Haha, I've always kept this to summon the Dragon God for assistance. With the Dragon God, this person is doomed to die!" Duobao Daoist Venerable sneered, instantly crushing the statue in his hand.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth changed dramatically, with winds howling and thunder roiling.

Chen Lan squinted slightly, feeling the wind blowing, making his robes flap fiercely.

The Dragon God?

How strong is this so-called Dragon God now?

Although the Ancient Ruins Stele recorded his combat power as the first, it's uncertain if it can always keep up with the strength of the Human Emperor and the Dragon God. Perhaps they have long since gone to the Desolate Celestial Realm, making it unsurprising that the Ancient Ruins Stele couldn't detect them.

One cannot afford to be complacent.

[Who summoned me!]

Suddenly, a deep, ancient voice sounded from the sky, and a terrifying aura descended with oppressive might.

Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable were immediately pressed to their knees by this aura, their bodies trembling, while Chen Lan erupted with his own aura to forcibly resist, frowning as he looked towards the sky.

Daoist Saint Perfection, this is at least Daoist Saint Perfection, the Dragon God has grown so strong in the Desolate Celestial Realm.

Who knows if the Phoenix can handle it?

"I am Duobao Daoist Venerable of the Human Race Sacred City. Today, I summon the Dragon God to kill this person!" shouted Duobao Daoist Venerable loudly.

The sky remained silent, and after a long while, the Dragon God finally spoke.

[Haha, interesting. The Human Race actually summoned me, and not your Human Emperor. How amusing.]

The Dragon God laughed; it was not the Demon Race that summoned it, but instead, the Human Race. This was indeed interesting.

[Is it this kid?]

As soon as the words fell, Chen Lan felt an aura lock onto him. He raised his head and sneered, "Yes, and so what?"

[What audacity, do you know who I am?]

"Dragon God? I see nothing more than an earthworm." Chen Lan sneered.

Whatever Dragon God or Serpent God, whoever comes will die!

[What an unpleasant speaking boy, let me teach you a lesson!]

Boom!

A bolt of heavenly lightning streaked across the sky as a terrifying Dragon Claw emerged from the dark clouds, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, as if it could envelop the heavens and earth. Chen Lan felt there was nowhere to run; he was locked in from all sides!

But Chen Lan never intended to run; instead, he gripped the Thunderbolt Divine Spear in his hand and leaped up.

Like a streak of flowing light, he charged towards the Dragon Claw, where the spear tip clashed with the Dragon Claw, erupting in sparks and explosive spiritual energy.

Chen Lan was knocked back, while the Dragon Claw didn't fare much better, trembling violently.

[You are quite unique, being merely a Daoist Venerable yet capable of unleashing the strength of a Daoist Saint. Your Thunder Dao has nearly reached the extreme; how did you achieve this?!]

The Dragon God's voice brimmed with shock; such a genius existed, almost reaching the pinnacle of the Thunder Dao at such a young age.

Why is such a genius still in the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm? Shouldn't the Desolate Celestial Realm have taken him to cultivate long ago?

Chen Lan didn't answer, instead launching another swift attack and then transmitting to the Phoenix to kill Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable.

In an instant, both sides engaged in battle, with the Phoenix flying towards Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable, starting the fight.

[Do you really think you can cross realms to kill me?]

The Dragon God laughed; this person, though a genius, was too arrogant, daring to believe he could slay it, a Daoist Saint, with the power of a Daoist Venerable—wishful thinking.

Reaching Daoist Saint means having at least ten Great Daos at the grand completion stage, and it's rare for a Daoist Venerable to kill across such realms.

Chen Lan never intended to kill the Dragon God. At least Daoist Saint Perfection, it likely had thirteen Great Daos at the grand completion stage. At most, he could hold his ground equally; he was buying time.

The summoning surely had a time limit. Once time ran out, it would be over naturally.

"If he can't, can I?"

Suddenly, before Chen Lan could strike again, a voice echoed, making both him and the Dragon God slightly pause.

Chen Lan looked towards the voice and was stunned upon seeing the newcomer.

It was a chubby man standing not far from him, the very same man who sold maps in the Celestial Realm's secret realm!

[And who might you be?]

The Dragon God asked in confusion.

"What, after so many years, you don't recognize me?"

As soon as the words fell, the chubby man smiled slightly, his form slowly transforming into a handsome young man, fanning himself gracefully—a perfect gentleman indeed!

[Human Emperor!]

The Dragon God exclaimed in surprise, and Chen Lan was immediately startled—this was the Human Emperor of the Human Race?!

Meanwhile, Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable, who were still dealing with the Phoenix, looked over quickly, stupefied upon seeing the young man!

They had seen the Human Emperor in his youth, and it was this very guise. How could the Human Emperor be here!

[How are you here!]

The Dragon God felt incredulous; the Human Emperor was supposed to be with it in the Desolate Celestial Realm. How could he appear here?

"I'm merely an incarnation, but dealing with you is more than enough. Do you dare to oppress the Human Race without my consent?" The Human Emperor waved his fan leisurely, smiling gently.

Yet his words were extremely icy, as if plunging into an ice cave, sending shivers down the spine.

The scene was suddenly at a stalemate; none had expected the Human Emperor to appear here.

[Since you are here, then forget it.]

With that said, the sky instantly returned to normal, and the Dragon God left without hesitation, not staying for a moment!

Seeing the Dragon God depart, Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable were dumbfounded.

What? Just like that, it left?

Chen Lan isn't even dead yet, is this a joke?

"Thank you, senior, for your assistance." Chen Lan cupped his fists in gratitude.

"No need to thank me. Even without me, you could ensure your survival; I merely couldn't stand watching it oppress the Human Race and lent a helping hand."

After speaking, the Human Emperor looked at Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable, his expression turning icy cold.

"To actually summon the Dragon God to kill your kin, you both are utterly mad, becoming traitors to the Human Race. Today, I shall uphold the Dao for the Human Race and eradicate you!"
