Bang!
The whole sea seems to vibrate.
A golden demon god with eighteen heads and twenty-four arms, fierce and terrifying, ascends into the wind, accompanied by an immense aura.
The golden demon god has an appearance that is breathtaking and terrifying, with his entire body spurting purple-golden flames. Within these flames, one can faintly see the shimmering light of lightning. Despite already having eighteen heads and twenty-four arms, his back suddenly sprouted a pair of enormous wings made entirely of pure golden flames!
This terrifying appearance is shocking to behold.
At the moment when the golden-bodied demon god ascended, the terrifying purple-golden flames spread across the area near Dragon Palace instantly.
It seems incredible that water, which can suppress fire, could make the purple-golden flames burn even more fiercely when they touch the sea!
The terrifying flames flooded the endless sea, resembling rolling lava that endlessly churned and agitated.
The previously frigid ocean floor, even piercingly cold, instantly heated up by numerous degrees, making everyone unbearably hot.
The tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dragon Palace, gazing at the awe-inspiring golden demon god towering at forty-five zhang, couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of reverence deep within their hearts.
"This little Taoist practitioner is from what school or sect, how can he have such power even without achieving enlightenment?"
Now, how can the mighty Taoist sword, which cannot be broken, be shattered merely by relying on Chen Yun's raw strength?
"Wow, the Taoist avatar this little immortal has manifested is incredibly terrifying!"
Anyways, all of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dragon Palace have seen it.
The tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dragon Palace witnessed for themselves just how formidable the golden demon god truly was.
A group of soldiers were discussing over there.
Li Bai Xuan also looked at Chen Yun with a doubtful expression, seemingly unsure of what kind of avatar this was.
The next moment, the tens of thousands of soldiers were suddenly.
It was as if the demon god was the embodiment of the Great Dao, possessing the immense power to destroy heavens and earth.
The nine Lord-level generals had enough reason to believe that if they were truly submerged in the purple-golden flames, they would be incinerated to ashes!
Not only did the nine Lord-level generals feel the might of the demon god with their own bodies, but also.
"I don't know, we've just taken over shift and saw someone causing trouble and came out to join the battle?"
The great sword wielded by the turtle general transformed into a thousand zhang of white light, emanating an awe-inspiring aura.
However, it is not a secret from everyone, such as the seahorse who pretended to agree to inform Chen Yun earlier, or the previous defeated crabs' general. They are all aware of this.
It was perhaps the startled voice of the turtle general that woke everyone up.
Most of the soldiers were just coming out of their shift and did not know Chen Yun's true identity.
Regardless of whether they know Chen Yun's true identity or not.
Therefore, Marquis Li can be very certain that Chen Yun is now not practicing the Sixteen-foot Golden Body, but a Daoist avatar.
The turtle general's pupils couldn't help but widen, and he exclaimed in alarm, "What kind of Daoist avatar are you? How could your strength be so powerful?"
"Terrible, the Daoist avatar manifested by this little Daoist practitioner gives me a feeling that is far too terrifying."
"Yes, he flew away the nine Lord-level generals all at once and then with a single reach, he crushed the turtle general's dao weapon. This level of power is terrifying to the extreme."
"If he heard this when it happened, the turtle general would definitely feel slighted."
He recalls that only the Buddhist's Sixteen-foot Golden Body comes close to it, but the Buddhist's Sixteen-foot Golden Body is not a Daoist avatar; it is a profound dharma.
With this move, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dragon Palace all shuddered.
"The most important thing is, just by watching him emitting such a strong purple-golden flame all over his body, I feel a heart-stopping fear, as if I might be burned to death if I accidentally come into contact with it."
The soldiers could confidently say that, although Chen Yun has not yet achieved enlightenment, his strength has already made a significant gap with ordinary Lord-level generals.
However, the golden-bodied demon god only reached out with a grab and caught the blade light that seemed like a slithering dragon, then gave a violent shake with his palm. As the blade light vanished, everyone also saw that the turtle general's dao weapon, the great sword, was instantly crushed!
Indeed, as soon as this demon god took form, it immediately sent nine Lord-level generals who were attacking Chen Yun flying.
They could have felt it, that if Chen Yun had truly intended to kill, he could have unleashed the infinite purple-golden flames as soon as he transformed into the golden demon god. And this purple-golden flame seemed to be especially powerful against water creatures.
Even an ordinary person can sense the immense, boundless strength contained within him!
Others couldn't even think about it.
A profound dharma needs to be manifested, which is completely different from the aura and qi fluctuations presented by a Daoist avatar.
But he knew that what Chen Yun was saying was the truth.
What... what?
The turtle general's great sword weapon was not an ordinary standard weapon, but a special one that he had once made great contributions with. It was made by a master craftsman of the Dragon Palace using some extremely precious and rare materials, endowed with the attribute of invincibility.
Even if the other nine Lord-level generals and he continued to attack, they would not be able to stand against Chen Yun.
Even if facing him at the level of a Great Teacher, he couldn't win!
After Chen Yun manifested his Daoist avatar, without any exceptionally powerful talisman, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to defeat him. Only enlightened immortals might have a chance.
"Before he manifested his Daoist avatar, he was able to withstand the joint attack of nine Great Teachers on his own. It seems that this young Taoist is a senior student from the orthodox Taoist sect, and it's very possible that he comes from a famous school or sect."
The two generals couldn't help but secretly be shocked. They thought, "This is indeed the senior student of Master Zhengyang from the Yongchuan Cave in the Dragon Spring Mountains, who is a master of Daoist alchemy. Even without achieving enlightenment, he is already so powerful. Just imagine how fierce he must be when he becomes an enlightened immortal!"
Unless about ten Lord-level generals at the later stage joined forces to surround him, there would be a possibility of subduing him.
The nine Lord-level generals who were knocked away were all saved by their fellow onlookers, but when they looked at the awe-inspiring golden demon god standing valiantly in the sea, their eyes were filled with endless fear!
This is definitely someone among the first rank of enlightened beings!
After Chen Yun manifested his Daoist avatar, he looked at the turtle general with a face devoid of expression and said coldly, "Ten of you are not my match. If you want to capture me, you'd better send more people up."
Even more so, there's a possibility that they could be annihilated by the other side in a short period of time!
He bitterly laughed and said, "I am indeed not your match."
Chen Yun didn't reply to the turtle general and deliberately looked over at Marquis Li with a challenging gaze, "Doesn't your Dragon Palace have any high-level experts?"
Marquis Li seemed to have seen through something, his gaze deep and piercing as he stared at Chen Yun, "You give me a very special feeling, yes, your avatar is powerful, but I can tell that it's not so powerful as to be invincible. You are able to exert power far beyond your own capabilities with this Daoist avatar. I'm very curious if you are an avatar of some deity on Earth, one who has the ability to subdue our water creatures, which is why you can display such formidable strength?"
Indeed, you are an Immortal Sage who has achieved enlightenment.
Chen Yun secretly admired Marquis Li for quickly figuring out his true strength.
After manifesting his Daoist avatar, he could easily match five or six late-stage Lord-level generals in a single combat without using any talismans or magical artifacts, definitely not more than ten.
The reason why he could deceive those Dragon Palace soldiers into believing that he could take on ten or more late-stage Lord-level generals in a single combat without using any talismans or magical artifacts is because he possesses the avatar of the Wild God, giving him some "conceptual" abilities.
For instance, he could suppress the strength of the demons and devils he was facing by up to thirty percent.
This suppression ability may not be very effective in inter-level combat.
However, when facing an equal opponent or when in a situation where he has the upper hand, this suppression ability will be most effective.
Suppressing 30% of their strength.
That's on the edge of being able to instantly defeat them.
Before manifesting his Daoist avatar, he could hold his own against nine Lord-level generals.
It's actually due to the suppression ability.
It's not that his own strength is truly that powerful.
In reality, after breaking through to the Lord-level and not manifesting his Daoist avatar, in normal circumstances, he could fight against three to four Lord-level generals in the mid-stage.
This is a significant improvement compared to when he was fighting against Yu Yuan, Ming Shen Daoist, and others.
Back then, even with the thunder and fire Daoist avatar, he could only barely hold his own against four early-stage Lord-level generals.
Now, without manifesting any Daoist avatars, he can single-handle three to four mid-stage Lord-level generals.
It must be said that refining the true body has greatly enhanced his strength.
It's precisely because the suppression ability is so strong.
That's why, although I only have the ability to match three to four mid-stage Lord-level generals in single combat, I was able to withstand nine of their attacks.
If it wasn't for the turtle general who summoned his great sword weapon, causing me to feel a great threat, I might not have needed to manifest the Golden Demon God Daoist avatar.
These thoughts flashed through Chen Yun's mind in an instant.
His eighteen heads and thirty-six blinking eyes all looked at Marquis Li, "So what? If you don't want to return it, I advise you to send more people up. Otherwise, I will definitely enter the Dragon Palace and then your Eastern Sea Dragon Palace will be greatly embarrassed!"
To the point where the Dragon Palace's dignity would be lost?
Haven't they already lost face now?
Ten Lord-level generals attacking you together didn't manage to subdue you.
If this gets out, the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace will definitely be laughed at!
The soldiers among them secretly criticized.
Marquis Li also realized this situation, knowing that if they failed to capture Chen Yun, the Dragon Palace would lose even more face.
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about face. He raised his hand and gave the order, "All soldiers, listen up! Attack together and capture him!"
Yes, Marquis Li is not prepared to waste any more time with Chen Yun.
He intends to deploy over ten thousand soldiers to surround and capture Chen Yun as quickly as possible.
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Over ten thousand soldiers all replied in a loud voice.
The next moment, over ten thousand Dragon Palace soldiers all raised their weapons, preparing to launch a crackdown on Chen Yun.
Chen Yun's twenty-four arms shook together in unison, and various talismans and magical treasures appeared instantly, hovering in his palms.
All sorts of talismans and magical treasures were present: ice rings, law rulers, flying swords, needles, thin dogs, entrapment flags, red tassel lances, double purple and blue swords, multicolored jade towers of gems, Zhou Tian Xing Swords (Complete heavenly sphere sword), Chi Jin Zhan Yao Jian (Golden slaying demon sword), Huang Jin Li Shi Ling (Yellow flag power token), and more.
Although Chen Yun had thought of being captured beforehand, it was not to be captured without a fight; he wanted to put up a show of strength before being subdued.
A great battle was about to break out.
Suddenly, a golden qi emerged from the Crystal Palace ahead.
This golden qi was incredibly mysterious, shooting upwards directly and then spreading out, instantly turning the boundless sea of endless purple-golden flames into a resplendent glow.
"Dragon King!"
"It is the Dragon King!"
The soldiers of the Dragon Palace quickly put down their weapons and kneeled down, one after another, with reverence in their eyes. They shouted "Your Majesty, we greet the Dragon King" and bowed their heads in respect.
Chen Yun's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
The thick gold qi instantly materialized into an illusion of a Dragon King, with a dragon's head and a human body, wearing imperial robes.
This illusion was not just ten thousand feet tall, but much more.
He stood tall like a divine being, with his hands behind his back and a face devoid of expression as he scanned Chen Yun.
This was just a simple glance, yet Chen Yun felt as if his soul had been unveiled to the other party.
It seemed as if he could not conceal any secrets in front of this illusion.
Just incredible!
This kind of strength is the most powerful that Chen Yun has ever seen, second only to that of Lu Dongbin, the numerous Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas in Buddhism.
Right, the strength of Gouteng Daoist is so powerful that it didn't make him feel any urge to resist.
However, this Dragon King illusion is the first time Chen Yun has ever felt powerless.
It's as if he is a tiny ant and the other party is an emperor who controls the world.
Chen Yun's first reaction was, "The Journey to the West" is really evil, describing the Dragon King as a weakling.
In reality, the Dragon King hasn't even revealed his true form; he has only materialized an illusion, yet people can already feel his unmatched power!
The Dragon King's illusion slowly opened its mouth and said, "Chen Pu, I already know why you have come to my Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Please come in for a discussion."
The Dragon King has personally appeared.
How could Chen Yun continue to act up?
Chen Yun had no choice but to revert to his original form, bare-chested and bowing, "Chen Pu greets the Eastern Sea Dragon King. Thank you, Your Majesty, for discerning right from wrong. I will now enter the Dragon Palace to pay respects."
Hm, when I manifested my Daoist avatar just now, the robe was stretched to burst.
Chen Yun's arrival was to retrieve his outside avatar, not for combat, so he naturally did not wear the Ti Jixuanhuainian (Tai Chi Purple Sash Immortal Robe) on his body at this moment, which is why he appeared to be bare-chested.
Of course, he had thought of this beforehand, so he used the materials he obtained from the inner cave of Yueye Lake to create a pair of elastic pants.
Unfortunately, that material was relatively rare and not enough to make a Daoist robe.
The Dragon King's illusion nodded slightly before turning his gaze towards Yimian Yue. "Thank you for your negligence, Five and Night Thirteen. Marquis Li, please take them both down and imprison them in the underwater prison for three years."
After speaking, the gold qi dispersed, and the Dragon King's illusion collapsed abruptly.
The previously disrespectful crab general and sea yaox were startled, their faces pale.
They had never imagined that not informing Chen Yun of their negligence would lead to such severe consequences, causing the Dragon King to personally issue an order to imprison them in the underwater prison.
At this moment, the crab general and the sea yaox regretted their actions deeply.
They regretted not respecting Chen Yun and instead relying on their power, even thinking of bullying him with their status.
The result was that they couldn't even bully Chen Yun, let alone gain face for the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
Now it's too late. They've angered the Dragon King, who personally ordered Marquis Li to take them down.
They'll have to serve three years in prison.
At this moment, the regrets of the two generals were so great that their intestines turned green!
On the other hand, Chen Yun was completely indifferent to what the crab general and the sea yaox were going through.
Chen Yun was more interested in regret than anything else, aside from being curious about the Dragon King.
He didn't have the chance to continue causing trouble.
Otherwise, if he had been captured by the Dragon Palace, there might have been a chance to extort something.
Now that the Dragon King has intervened to end the commotion, it's uncertain if he can continue to extort people.
Hm, his idea of trying to extort people was mainly influenced by "Journey to the West".
Sun Wukong wasn't he the one who got the Gold staff and a set of armor from the Dragon Palace?
Although he knows that the likelihood of extorting Dragon Palace treasures is slim, Chen Yun believes that there is still a chance.
After all, the Dragon Palace has captured his outside avatar for over twenty years.
He will see what opportunities arise and demand some compensation, that should be fine, right?
