NOVPUBUpon this snowy mountain, the sky was filled with snowflakes gently falling down.
The snowflakes pirouetted in midair before serenely landing on the steps.
On both sides of the snowy pear trees, blossoms of red and white crowded the branches, while green, fist-sized pears dangled amongst them.
"It seems there are no Black Dragon Guards here," Xu Zimei said.
"Not sure, let’s still be cautious," Lu Yun shook his head and replied.
The higher they ascended, the more intense Xu Zimei felt the mysterious mist became.
When he reached the midway point up the mountain, the eleventh Extraordinary Meridian in his body was involuntarily unveiled.
"We’ve got intruders," a roar erupted from the midpoint on the slope.
Immediately afterward, a group of Yellow Lizards dressed in yellow robes surged from the foot of the mountain.
This group didn’t look much different from ordinary humans, except that their ears were yellow.
They had a yellow mark on their foreheads, circular, with a hexagram etched inside.
"Who are you?" the leader of the Yellow Lizards demanded, "Leave quickly, or die!"
"We are here to rescue you," Lu Yun hurriedly said.
"To overthrow the rule of the Black Dragon and regain freedom."
A few of the Yellow Lizards exchanged glances only to hear the lead Yellow Lizard frown and say, "We don’t have Black Dragon Guards here, please leave."
"What, aren’t we of the same race? You won’t even invite us in for a meal?" Xu Zimei said.
"Who are you?" the leader of the Yellow Lizards now turned to notice Xu Zimei and asked with a frown.
"Let’s just go up and see," Xu Zimei said.
"Move forward and you will die," the leader of the Yellow Lizards snorted coldly, and stretched out his hands, with fingernails several inches long.
They were sharp and exuded a chilling air.
Xu Zimei looked up at the peak of the mountain, always feeling that the source of the mist was in that direction.
With a wave of his right hand, the Dark Heaven Tiger burst out from the void, landing heavily on the ground.
In an instant, the ground cracked everywhere, and those several Yellow Lizards lost their footing, all tumbling to the ground.
The massive head of the Dark Heaven Tiger leaned forward, emitting a putrid smell from its gaping jaws, mere inches from the few Yellow Lizards.
"Monster, monster," a few of the Yellow Lizards huddled together, trembling violently.
With the Dark Heaven Tiger clearing the way, Xu Zimei also cheerfully sprinted towards the top of the mountain.
Yellow Lizard clansmen who tried to block the path midway were swatted off the mountain by the Dark Heaven Tiger with a single swipe of its paw.
Xu Zimei noticed that these Yellow Lizards generally all practiced cultivation, their strength far surpassing that of the Green and Red Lizards.
"Could you not kill them?" Lu Yun, watching from the side, couldn’t bear it and pleaded.
"They chose death by blocking my way," Xu Zimei glanced indifferently at Lu Yun.
He said, "You should know your place."
Lu Yun nodded, not daring to speak any further.
He suddenly felt that Xu Zimei at this moment was extremely detached.
Accompanying Xu Zimei’s upward trek, the Yellow Lizards obstructing the way grew in number.
Unfortunately, none were a match for the Dark Heaven Tiger.
Just then, two distinct roars sounded from either side of the mountain slope.
A massive Black Leopard and a Black Python coiled around one end of the mountain wall appeared ahead.
"The Four Protectors?" Lu Yun exclaimed in astonishment, saying, "Why are this Black Leopard and Black Python here? Aren’t they supposed to guard the area of the Blue Lizards?"
"It seems your information is not accurate either," Xu Zimei said with a smile. "Then do you know where the Black Dragon Hall is?"
"Black Dragon Hall?" Lu Yun shook his head and said, "No one knows, we cannot leave our territory, so it’s a mystery."
Watching the Dark Heaven Tiger battle the two Great Demons, Xu Zimei had no desire to waste more words.
With a wave of his right hand, the Nether Serpent, a Divine Beast from the True Fate World, was directly released.
The Dark Heaven Tiger fought the Black Leopard, while the Nether Serpent entangled the Black Python, and Xu Zimei walked towards the summit with his hands behind his back.
The two Monster Beasts desperately tried to stop Xu Zimei, but to no avail.
As Xu Zimei’s figure almost reached the summit, the sky above the snow mountain suddenly darkened.
Immediately after, an ear-shattering dragon roar came through.
Firmament above roiled with wind and thunder, lightning flashing, thunder clapping.
It was as if Hell erupted, and the entire snow mountain seemed to be devoured and submerged.
A huge dragon emerged from the sky, its body vast, carrying thunderbolts, brimming with overbearing Dragon Might.
In the sky above, a black storm gathered, a vortex consuming everything in its path.
"Human, you should not have come here," the Black Dragon King’s voice boomed like thunder.
"What is this mysterious force?" Xu Zimei felt the increasingly dense mist and said with some enjoyment.
The Extraordinary Meridian Manual absorbed this fog, and he felt a great transformation occurring in every opened meridian in his body.
"You can feel it?" The Black Dragon King looked at Xu Zimei with surprise and exclaimed.
"It seems you have also obtained that kind of cultivation technique."
"Are you talking about the Extraordinary Meridian Manual?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"Extraordinary Meridian Manual?" The Black Dragon King muttered, then said, "You humans have a way with names."
"It seems you know quite a bit," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"Human, since you are here, you might as well stay, knowing too much is not good for you," the Black Dragon King bellowed and charged at Xu Zimei.
The colossal dragon head, exuding Thunder Authority, lunged to devour Xu Zimei directly.
"You are still not worthy to be my opponent," Xu Zimei said indifferently.
With a wave of his right hand, two Divine Dragons flew out from the True Fate World.
One red, one blue, the Ice and Fire Twin Dragons.
After Xu Zimei’s nurturing and cultivation in the Divine Continent, the Dragon Clan had also taken root and blossomed, gradually growing in strength.
When the two Divine Dragons appeared, Ice and Fire merged, Divine Might suppressed, and the powerful Spiritual Energy surged like a vast sea, roaring incessantly toward them.
The Black Dragon King’s head was directly flung away by a swipe of a dragon’s tail.
"How can this be?" The Black Dragon King said in disbelief as he looked at the scene before him.
"Slay it," Xu Zimei commanded and proceeded straight to the top of the mountain.
Upon reaching the summit, Xu Zimei closed his eyes, emptied himself, took a deep breath, and said, "I feel it, I’ve sensed it; the source is right here."
After that, he looked at the empty summit and said with a smile, "Aren’t you coming out yet? Do you want me to blast you out one by one?"
"Young man, being too arrogant won’t end well for you," an ancient voice rang out.
Following that, the space in front of them twisted, and four figures emerged with overwhelming presence from the shattered space.
They were four elders, all wearing robes of the same style.
But the colors varied: red, blue, green, and yellow.
At the moment the four elders appeared, Lu Yun seemed to freeze in place.
Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he stammered, "The, the, the Four Clan Elders?"
