“…”

The Flood Dragon’s blood-red vertical pupils changed color for the first time.

The True Dragon Terrain had reached Transcendent Rank-4.

It didn’t mean that the dragon had surpassed its real capability.

This was because even though it had a Legendary evaluation, it was only a “common” Transcendent being now.

For other races, the Legendary level didn’t mean that an individual would have more combat capability than a Transcendent counterpart, just as Cao Cao wasn’t more capable than Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun.

However, unlike humans, dragons had a special “suppression mechanism” within their race.

Although this Dragon Terrain wasn’t a True Dragon yet, because it contained a True Dragon’s Heart that had just been unsealed and contained a lot of dragon blood, it wasn’t so different from a True Dragon.

It was impossible for the Flood Dragon to exert its full power in the presence of the True Dragon Terrain.

“Roar!”

The True Dragon Terrain that had charged out of the pool didn’t think too much.

It roared and struck down at the Flood Dragon that had devoured the Yin Dragon.

Boom!

The golden four-clawed foot collided with the three-toed foot of the Flood Dragon.

The noise the collision made sounded like thunder and was head-splitting. The impact spread out all the way to Dragon Peak.

The mountain cracked and looked like it was going to collapse.

Hum!

Luckily, the golden compass that covered the peak was still there.

The hand was spinning frantically, and all the elements on it tried their best to keep the mountain from crashing down.

In the sky…

The Flood Dragon was pushed back for hundreds of meters, and blood gushed out of its claws.

Although the two dragons were of the same rank, with the “suppression mechanism”, it was the inferior side of the last round.

However, the Flood Dragon had its own advantage as well, which was the Transcendent treasures it carried.

Hum!

Seeing that the True Dragon Terrain was charging at it again, the Flood Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a white scallop shell that contained blue seawater.

It soon expanded until it was big enough to cover the Flood Dragon.

Many more Transcendent creatures had died in the vast sea than on land.

The shell was what remained of a Transcendent Sea-swallowing Giant Scallop. It didn’t look all that big, but in the shell were thousands of tons of seawater.

It could greatly buffer attacks and had strong defensive power.

Boom!

When the True Dragon Terrain’s attack landed on the shell, the seawater inside fluctuated, and dozens of tons of seawater evaporated.

Because of that, the impact of the strike was mostly absorbed, and the Transcendent Rank-4 Flood Dragon could withstand the remaining force.

For a brief moment after that, the two sides were in a deadlock in the air.

“Roar!”

But it only lasted for a few seconds.

Seeing that it couldn’t break the shell directly, the True Dragon Terrain roared loudly into the sky.

The True Dragon’s Heart in its chest made a sudden beat.

Schwing!

The sound it made was like a clap of loud thunder.

Meanwhile, the heart glowed in a red light, which then flowed around the True Dragon like blood.

The True Dragon Terrain’s attack suddenly grew stronger, and the shell was shattered. The Flood Dragon flew backward and smashed into Dragon Peak. It lost quite a few scales, and dragon blood poured onto the ground; the erosive power making holes in the ground.

Luckily, the Golden Compass was still working.

Together with the bright yellow light of the Celestial Seismograph, the two devices managed to stop Dragon Peak from collapsing from the impact.

Pew!

However, Li Chunfeng spat out a mouthful of blood as well, and the blood loss was more significant than that of the Flood Dragon.

The True Dragon’s Heart was a genuine Legendary object, and using the True Dragon’s Aura was an absolute taboo. Even if he had borrowed power from the Golden Compass and the Celestial Seismograph, changing the Feng Shui setting of Dragon Peak had used up all his energy.

Although he didn’t seem affected, he was almost drained of his power.

Under such circumstances, when he activated the Golden Compass to absorb the impact of the Flood Dragon’s collision with Dragon Peak, he also reached his limit and was bound to get injured.

And that wasn’t the only reason he spat out blood.

The beating of the True Dragon’s Heart not only gave the True Dragon Terrain a sudden surge of power, but it also sent an invisible fluctuation in Li Chunfeng’s direction.

Li Chunfeng had taken the blows from both sides, and of course, he would spit out blood.

“The True Dragon is an exceedingly proud creature, even if it has fallen and turned into the Dragon Terrain, by now, it should have seen through the Feng Shui setting and knows that both the Flood Dragon and the Ying Dragon are only baits.

“I’m the one who has tricked it!”

After spitting out the blood, Li Chunfeng looked as pale as a sheet, but he stood where he was and wouldn’t move a step.

Because as soon as he backed away, the True Dragon Terrain would make him its new target. He couldn’t even withstand the aftermath of the battle between two dragons. How could he withstand a direct attack?

More importantly, Li Chunfeng didn’t want to back away.

Schwing!

There was another rumbling “heartbeat”, and the Flood Dragon that had just raised itself from Dragon Peak was knocked away by the True Dragon again.

Flood gushed out of the wounds on its body, and dim-colored scales fell down. One of them fell onto Dragon Peak, and the remaining power was enough to let it dig a few meters into the stone.

Facing the True Dragon Terrain with the True Dragon’s Heart, even with all the Transcendent treasures, the Flood Dragon was still losing its ground.

Pew!

However, the beating of the heart also struck Li Chunfeng again.

The blood he spat out had dark red pieces, which were pieces of his internal organs.

“Commander Li!”

“Hang in there!”

Because of the battle between the two dragons and the rumbling sound that could be heard throughout the battlefield, the people of Dragon City couldn’t help but look up at the sky. They then saw what was happening to Li Chunfeng.

Some of them couldn’t help but cover their mouths.

But no one tried to give him a hand.

Because at this stage, the battle was beyond any of their capability.

Even Wu Song would only spit out blood and get knocked away if he tried to get up Dragon Peak.

“Roar!”

The battle between the two dragons had reached its peak.

The Flood Dragon spat out a lot of Transcendent treasure, but none of them could defeat the True Dragon’s Heart.

And the aftereffect also kept striking Li Chunfeng.

Schwing!

At the ninth heartbeat, Li Chunfeng exploded and fell down like a shower of blood.

“Ah!”

“Chief Li!”

“We’ve lost another Transcendent member who is also a Transcendent Rank-2 one.”

“How can the Mermen be so powerful? How can they control such a terrifying Flood Dragon?!”

Many players and natives of Dragon City watched this with great sorrow.

Because before Li Chunfeng died, Ruan Xiaoqi, the only living member of the three Ruan brothers, was killed by a Transcendent Merman, and his body had been dragged into the sea and eaten by fish.

Li Chunfeng’s death looked even more miserable than that of Ruan Xiaoqi. He had been killed by the aftereffect of the battle between two other creatures.

“I’m grateful to have so many of you mourn for me!”

However, everyone cried out in surprise because a figure appeared where Li Chunfeng used to be. It was formed by the soul power and gradually became more visible.

Unlike Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Chunfeng was a Daoist cultivator. Instead of training his physical body, he had trained his spirit. As a Transcendent Rank-2 cultivator, his Yin Soul had turned into Yang Soul. Although his physical body was destroyed, he still existed and could come out in the daytime. Neither the great wind nor the bright sun could affect him.

“Master Ji wants to build a place of great harmony like the ancient sage said, and that’s what every member of this settlement wants.

“The current state of Dragon City is the ‘Dragon Flies’, and the city is the top settlement of our country. In the future, more kings, lords, and legendary heroes will come here.

“Some of them may be as ambitious as Cao Cao used to be, and such people may have capable men working for them. The kings may feel responsible for the country and won’t build their own forces. However, the men working under them may want to become kings themselves.”

Li Chunfeng had no sadness on his face when he reappeared as a Yang Soul. Instead, he murmured something to himself, “To prevent that from happening, the best way is to… make our status official!

“I’m going to overstep my authority!”

…

Boom!

To shield Dragon Peak from the violent fluctuation coming from the battle between the Flood Dragon and the True Dragon Terrain, the Golden Compass endured many strikes and finally shattered.

However, it didn’t disappear immediately but turned into golden particles and gathered around Li Chunfeng’s hands. The particles then formed a seal that looked similar to the Yin Dragon Jade Seal left behind by Wang Qing.

But this one had a pair of golden dragons playing with a pearl on the top.

“Fate, fortune, and Feng Shui.

“Throughout the ages, all that men ever wanted is longevity and wealth.

“Longevity is hard to achieve, but wealth can be obtained. It’s impossible to change the general trend of nature, but there’s room for change in one’s destiny.”

Li Chunfeng said quietly while holding the Twin Dragon Golden Seal with both hands.

He then flipped it around and started carving things with his finger.

He wrote one stroke after another…

With each stroke, Li Chunfeng’s Yang Soul grew fainter. He wrote nearly a hundred strokes before he finally stopped.

He had become almost as faint as a common soul, and the words on the seal said, “Ordered by heaven. Live forever!”

“Once upon a time, Bian He of Chu obtained the Jade of He, which ended up in the First Emperor of Qin’s hand. The emperor had Li Si, the chancellor, carve these words on the seal, turning it into an imperial seal that was used to represent emperors after that.

“But this isn’t an imperial seal but a seal of destiny. The person holding this golden seal will have the destiny of an emperor or king!”

Li Chunfeng looked at the golden seal.

Although he had arrived at Dragon City because of his knowledge on Feng Shui, that wasn’t his greatest expertise.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tian’gang had written the famous 55 Push Back Charts, which foretold the main events for the next 2,000 years. That was his expertise—Daoist divination on fate.

And his talent skill wasn’t simply the power of Feng Shui but to use that power to change one’s destiny.

However, to activate that talent skill, he had to have the power of providence, and the amount needed would exceed those required by common talent skills.

Moreover, the more advanced his target was, the more power of providence he would need.

Ji Ye was Transcendent Rank-3 and more powerful than Li Chunfeng. Therefore, Li Chunfeng had to sacrifice himself to protect Dragon Peak and fend off the Flood Dragon that could destroy the entire settlement.

That was the only way he could earn enough contribution points to use his talent skill on Ji Ye and change his destiny.

“But this golden seal alone won’t be enough!”

Li Chunfeng had grown very faint as he looked up at the True Dragon Terrain in the sky. The Flood Dragon wasn’t its match.

For one, the seal was only half-completed and needed the power of the True Dragon Terrain to activate the power to change one’s destiny.

For another, unlike ordinary people, Ji Ye had some special attributes.

As the City Master of Dragon City, he was protected by the power of providence of the city.

Moreover, after Li Chunfeng rose to the Transcendent level, he activated his Daoist Heavenly Eye and saw that Ji Ye was backed by a more prominent power of providence of the Human race.

With a Transcendent power that could change his destiny, even if it was a talent skill, strictly speaking, Ji Ye could still fend it off by consuming the power of providence.

Because of that, even if Li Chunfeng used his talent skill, it might not work for Ji Ye.

“Master Ji, you’ll have to decide how you want your destiny to be changed.”

Li Chunfeng looked at the sky to the south of Dragon City with a calm expression.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Then, fire streaks of purple lightning fell from the sky, all striking down onto the dimmed soul, turning it into thin smoke.

“Changing one’s destiny is against the law of nature and is punishable by a heavenly tribulation of thunder!”

Although a hundred-meter-long black Flood Dragon had appeared at the south of Dragon City and was flying toward Dragon Peak, it couldn’t get there fast enough.

Li Chunfeng had died!
