Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 587: Twin Dragons Battle!

Everyone thought Lin Xuan was doomed, but what happened next once again exceeded their expectations.

They watched as Lin Xuan unleashed a palm strike, shattering the Ancient Divine Mountain. Upon witnessing this, Huo Yuner’s face turned livid, while Wan Er jumped up in excitement. The members of the Sunlight Alchemy Alliance roared toward the heavens. "Young Master Lin has performed another miracle!"

You Ruo was dumbfounded. The Nine Serene Alchemy Alliance was dumbfounded. The Tower Master was dumbfounded. Everyone was dumbfounded. Their feelings were simply beyond words.

This Young Master Lin... he’s created another miracle! It’s simply heaven-defying!

When the crowd saw Situ Hang get sent flying by the palm strike and turn to flee, they cried out in alarm once more. Situ Hang was defeated! He was running away! Master Qingyou had fled as well!

At this moment, everyone went wild.

Wan Er laughed excitedly. "Who said Young Master Lin would lose?"

In despair, Huo Yuner spat out a mouthful of blood. The turn of events was a slap in the face for You Ruo. The Tower Master could only give a bitter smile; he had misjudged again. How many times is that now? he wondered. This young man has truly created too many miracles!

Lin Xuan advanced to the seventh floor with extreme speed. Here, too, there was Soul Fire. He found a spot and began to cultivate, intending to continue strengthening his soul.

「Elsewhere.」

Situ Hang, Qingyou, and the Alliance Leader of the Sunlight Alchemy Alliance also entered the seventh floor one after another, but their moods were vastly different. The Alliance Leader was excited, Qingyou was desperate, and Situ Hang was indignant.

Unconvinced, he found Qingyou to propose they join forces.

"Forget it," Qingyou said. "We’re no match for him." He was truly afraid!

"That kid is strong, I’ll give you that," Situ Hang said, "but if we team up, there’s no way he can withstand our combined power."

Qingyou shook his head. "We won’t get the chance. The Alliance Leader of the Sunlight Alchemy Alliance will help him."

Situ Hang’s voice was laced with killing intent. "Then we’ll deal with the Alliance Leader first. That kid has so many treasures on him. Are you telling me you don’t want them? We’ll defeat the Alliance Leader, then we’ll team up to take down the kid. By then, he’ll have nowhere to run."

"Alright, let’s do it," Qingyou agreed with a heavy nod.

Afterward, the two began searching for the Alliance Leader of the Sunlight Alchemy Alliance. Once they found him, they joined forces, defeated him, and began to hunt him down. The Alliance Leader fled in a panic, only managing to escape with his life by retreating to the sixth floor.

Then, Situ Hang and Qingyou started searching for Lin Xuan, preparing to confront him.

The people outside exclaimed in surprise once again upon seeing this. The members of the Sunlight Alchemy Alliance were furious. "How despicable! How shameless to team up like that!"

The others were also in an uproar. It seemed Situ Hang and Qingyou were determined to kill Lin Xuan. Could he possibly survive this?

"He definitely can’t withstand it this time," Huo Yuner said through gritted teeth.

You Ruo snorted coldly. "No matter how heaven-defying he is, he can’t possibly block the combined attacks of two Nine-Star Grandmasters. This time, he is doomed."

...

Lin Xuan was unaware of these events. He used the Soul Fire of the seventh floor to temper his soul, enhancing it even further. Although he did not break through to the fifth stage, it was still a major improvement, equivalent to several years of bitter cultivation in the outside world. This place was truly miraculous.

After adapting to the seventh floor, Lin Xuan stood up, ready to proceed to the eighth. He was going to claim the treasure of the Dragon Race. With a flicker of his body, he rushed toward the far end of the floor, soon arriving and passing through into the eighth floor.

This scene was also witnessed by Situ Hang and Qingyou, and the two immediately tried to follow. They entered the barrier at the end of the floor but were quickly forced back.

Dammit! They couldn’t get through!

How could this be? Situ Hang was furious. Qingyou was also utterly desperate. The eighth floor held the Dragon Race’s treasure! If they couldn’t reach it, they had no chance of obtaining it.

"It’s all because of that Fire Dragon! He’s the one who sealed our cultivation!" Qingyou roared repeatedly. Their cultivation was still suppressed to the Eight-Star Grandmaster level. If their full power hadn’t been restricted, they were certain they could have entered the eighth floor.

"That kid made it to the eighth floor! He might actually get the Dragon Race treasure!" Qingyou was immensely envious.

Situ Hang’s expression was grim as he spoke through gritted teeth, "It doesn’t matter. Even if we can’t get in, it doesn’t mean we’ll lose. We’ll wait right here for him to come out. When he does, we’ll join forces and kill him. Then, all the treasures on him will be ours. The Dragon Pearl, the two Anomalous Fires, and whatever Dragon Race treasure he gets from the eighth floor... it will all belong to us."

Hearing this, Qingyou clenched his fists in excitement. They still had a chance. The two of them then sat down cross-legged, ready to wait for Lin Xuan’s return.

「Outside.」

When everyone saw this, they exclaimed repeatedly. Young Master Lin had entered the eighth floor, yet Situ Hang and Qingyou couldn’t pass through. It was unbelievable! Since Young Master Lin was the only one who had made it, that meant he was the only one with a chance to obtain the Dragon Race treasure.

The crowd discussed animatedly, wondering if he could succeed. Wan Er clasped her hands together and prayed that Young Master Lin would be able to claim the treasure.

「Eight Desolate Six Harmonies Tower, Eighth Floor.」

Lin Xuan’s figure appeared. This floor also contained terrifying flames, but they were all gathered together within a single, massive cauldron. Upon his arrival, he found it standing before him like an ancient, towering mountain, forcing him to look up. Standing before the cauldron, Lin Xuan seemed pitifully small. Its surface was engraved with eight fire dragons, baring fangs and brandishing claws, so lifelike they seemed to be alive. Inside the cauldron, terrifying flames churned and boiled.

"Boy, we meet again." A flash of light appeared in the void, and the Fire Dragon Illusion materialized. He looked down at Lin Xuan and said with a smile, "I knew you could make it to the top floor."

"Greetings, Senior." Lin Xuan bowed before asking, "May I ask where the Dragon Race treasure is?"

"The treasure left behind by the Dragon Race is this very cauldron," the dragon replied. "It is called the Eight Wildernesses Fire Dragon Cauldron, an extraordinary treasure. It can be used for combat, defense, and even alchemy."

Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up. This cauldron was perfect for him. "Then how can I obtain the Eight Wildernesses Fire Dragon Cauldron?" he asked excitedly.

"Defeat me, and it is yours."

Defeat you? Lin Xuan stared at the Fire Dragon in the sky, utterly shocked. The creature was over a thousand feet long, its body radiating a terrifying draconic might. Lin Xuan was indeed powerful, but defeating this Fire Dragon seemed impossible.

The Fire Dragon let out a hearty laugh. "Don’t worry, I won’t bully you with my higher cultivation. I will fight you at the same level. From what I observed of your earlier fight, your strength should be at the peak of the Eight-Star level. I will suppress my cultivation to that same peak and fight you on equal terms. If you can defeat me, the Eight Wildernesses Fire Dragon Cauldron will naturally be yours. So, young man, do you dare?"

Lin Xuan laughed heartily in return. "Why would I not dare?"

"Good!" The Fire Dragon laughed as well, its form rapidly shifting. It transformed into a young man with flames surging around him like a Fire God, descending from the sky. His cultivation was now suppressed to the peak of the Eight-Star level.

The Fire Dragon’s human avatar said no more. He stared at Lin Xuan, his eyes shining with a chilling light. He then took a step forward, and the flames on his body erupted completely. A titanic dragon’s roar echoed, shaking heaven and earth and causing the entire space to tremble. He raised his right hand and slowly thrust it forward. His palm, wreathed in overwhelming flames and a coiling fire dragon, shot toward Lin Xuan. This was the true Fire Dragon Divine Palm.

Facing the incoming attack, Lin Xuan’s eyes also flashed with a cold light. He did not dodge but charged forward to meet it. Clenching his hand into a fist, he threw a punch. The World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist struck out fiercely.

The next moment, their attacks collided. A deafening boom erupted, and a destructive aura spread out from the two of them at the center.

RUMBLE...

The ground trembled as cracks spiderwebbed across its surface, a scene of armageddon. Yet, the two figures remained unmoving, perfectly matched.

After the first exchange, the Fire Dragon attacked again. His other palm transformed into a dragon claw and swiped viciously at Lin Xuan’s head. Lin Xuan still did not dodge, simply raising his left hand and slapping it forward to meet the blow.

Cyan Dragon Splitting Heaven Palm!

Another deafening explosion rang out. Sparks of fire flew everywhere as the Fire Dragon was actually forced back, its arm now glowing dimly. He stared at Lin Xuan and said excitedly, "I was right! You are a Dragon Warrior!"

"That’s right, I am," Lin Xuan confirmed without hiding anything.

"Good! Good! Good!" The Fire Dragon threw his head back and laughed before charging forward again. The two clashed once more, Lin Xuan wielding the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist with one hand and the Cyan Dragon Splitting Heaven Palm with the other. Terrifying power swept across the battlefield. The Fire Dragon countered with his Fire Dragon Divine Palm, one strike after another, as illusory fire dragons filled the sky. Their battle shook the world, but they remained evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred moves had been exchanged, and the two were still at a stalemate. Just then, the Fire Dragon let out a long cry. "Boy, be careful! I’m getting serious now!"

His form suddenly grew larger, the aura of his flames soaring as a pair of fiery wings sprouted from his back. A flaming tail appeared behind him, and fire dragon horns grew from his forehead. He had transformed into a humanoid fire dragon.

"Eight Wildernesses Fire Dragon Palm!"

He thrust his palms out once more, but this time, the power was several times greater than before. This single attack seemed powerful enough to sweep across the eight wildernesses. Lin Xuan was instantly blown backward. The Fire Dragon pressed his advantage, striking again.

Lin Xuan roared to the heavens and transformed. "Become the Dragon!"

In an instant, his body was covered in dragon scales. As a humanoid true dragon, he shot forward. After his transformation, Lin Xuan was able to block the Eight Wildernesses Fire Dragon Palm. Not only that, he began his counterattack.

"Summon the Cyan Dragon Soul!"

A thunderous dragon roar erupted from within him as a Cyan Dragon appeared, coiling around his body. Its draconic claw fused with Lin Xuan’s palm.

"Cyan Dragon Splitting Heaven Palm!"

He struck out again. This palm strike seemed capable of tearing apart heaven, earth, and all eight wildernesses. The Fire Dragon Palm was torn to shreds. The Fire Dragon’s avatar staggered back more than a dozen steps before stopping, one of its arms now shattered beyond repair.

As Lin Xuan charged again, the Fire Dragon shook his head. "There’s no need to continue. You’ve won."

"Little one, I never expected that you not only became a Dragon Warrior but also possess a Dragon Soul. Truly incredible."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan halted, his eyes flickering with excitement. "I won? Really? You’re not going to attack again?"

The Fire Dragon laughed heartily. "Indeed. I concede. The Eight Wildernesses Fire Dragon Cauldron is yours!"

「Outside.」

The crowd was watching the battle intently. They gasped in awe when they saw Lin Xuan enter the eighth floor, and they were in an uproar when the Fire Dragon attacked him. However, they couldn’t see what happened next. The flames from the Fire Dragon’s body had engulfed everything, obscuring Lin Xuan’s silhouette from view. They had no idea what the final outcome was.

The crowd buzzed with excited discussion. Could Young Master Lin win?

"He definitely can’t win," You Ruo said through gritted teeth.

Huo Longer also spoke up. "That’s right. That Fire Dragon is terrifying. How could he possibly win? Unless he’s a true Dragon Warrior, he has no chance!"

Hearing this, the others shook their heads and sighed. Dragon Warriors had vanished over a thousand years ago. How could Lin Xuan possibly be one? It seemed that this time, there was no way he could win.
