Chapter 1925 (Raw 2026): The Top of the Heavenly Dragon

After passing one hundred layers of restrictions, Xiao Chen suddenly felt the pressure on his body ease up. This allowed him to move around without restraint.

It turned out that Xiao Chen had broken through all the restrictions at the periphery. If he ventured further in, he would face the restrictions of the inner area. There probably was a set of restrictions for the core area, as well.

“It seems like I can land now.”

By relying on a trick, Xiao Chen had broken through one hundred layers. He admitted to himself that he could not break through the restrictions of the inner area, so he decided to land here.

He looked down and saw three people seated on a platform, cultivating with their eyes closed.

There were two men and one woman. They, along with their auras, seemed to have become one with the surrounding mountains and rivers.

A cliffside behind that platform soared over thirty kilometers high.

Hidden in the clouds above was an indistinct dragon head. The dragon head poured out Spiritual Energy like it was the source of a waterfall.

As the Spiritual Energy flowed down, it formed a dense river of Spiritual Energy, coiling around the mountain as it descended.

With such a backdrop, that platform was like an Immortal realm, an ethereal dreamland.

“Whoosh!”

The three people cultivating on the platform opened their eyes at the same time. Their powerful, sharp auras felt solid, pressing down on Xiao Chen as they looked over.

The magnificent auras were boundless; the three’s gaze felt vast and mighty.

Break!

Xiao Chen threw a palm strike with his accumulated Dragon Might. Dragon roars rang out in his body endlessly. A palm wind surged out and rammed through the auras of the three, paving the way for him.

He landed firmly on an old tree by the cliffside at the edge of the platform.

When Xiao Chen sized up these three, he thought, These three should be the current heaven-class core disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Palace: Yi Xin, Li Luo, and Jue Yun.

These three truly deserved to be heaven-class core disciples. With just one look, they displayed vast might and unparalleled sharpness.

Xiao Chen only glanced at them once before shifting his gaze upwards, to the Heavenly Dragon head above the tall cliffside behind the platform.

The feeling when looking from afar and looking up close was indeed different.

Compared to the Divine Dragon’s Dragon Might, the Heavenly Dragon’s Dragon Might had an ethereal and ancient quality to it, a kind of righteous energy that conformed with heaven.

Xiao Chen looked carefully and felt it in detail. A profound feeling lingered in his mind.

What is heaven?

Heaven is emotionless. The Dao is heartless. The Heavenly Dao is emotionless and immortal.

The life and death of mortals, the withering of plants, the destruction of dynasties, and the birth of empires, what do they have to do with heaven?

What is a Heavenly Dragon?

Emotionless, heartless, desireless. No, that’s not right. If it is emotionless and heartless, it is not a Heavenly Dragon but a demonic dragon...

Xiao Chen gained many comprehensions. However, he continuously rejected these comprehensions.

Thousands of thoughts lingered in his mind; tens of thousands of frustrations dazzled him.

Suddenly, the clouds scattered, and the Heavenly Dragon’s head revealed itself. As if it felt dissatisfied with someone looking at it, a vast Dragon Might pressed down.

“Boom!”

The Dragon Might immediately knocked Xiao Chen off his perch. However, he did not startle away, seemingly immersed in that wondrous state of comprehension.

Xiao Chen remained insensible of his surroundings.

“He overestimates himself. He is just a mixed-blood dragon, and he dares to look straight at the Heavenly Dragon,” the blue-clad person among the three heaven-class core disciples said before ignoring Xiao Chen.

The other two also appeared stunned for a while before they recovered their calm.

As heaven-class core disciples, their mental state was sufficiently strong. Unforeseen events would not cause too big a fluctuation in their hearts.

If a core disciple barged into the main peak, there would naturally be sect Elders coming to deal with him.

However, just at this moment, something strange happened.

The eyes of Xiao Chen, who was deep in comprehension, glowed, sparkling with golden light. A vast dragon roar came from his body, and half of the peak trembled slightly in response.

A Dragon Might that Xiao Chen did not have before flowed out of his body, lending him an ethereal and sacred feeling.

What is a Heavenly Dragon?

It is not emotionless and heartless. Instead, one needs an imposing soul and a big heart—a heart so big that it can tolerate and contain this vast, boundless heaven.

However large heaven is, the heart has to be larger.

What one needs to do is tolerate and contain this heaven and not completely merge with it. Merging with it will result in cutting off one’s heart and emotions, a path of no return. One needs to be a part of heaven but also outside of it. This ethereal feeling comes from this.

“What’s going on?”

Suddenly, Xiao Chen discovered that his body was falling to the ground. With a slight thought, he turned into a flash of lightning and soared towards the clouds.

However, he met with great resistance. There was a strong aura above the main peak.

Turn into a dragon! Xiao Chen roared in his heart and turned into a lightning dragon. He used the dense and divine Dragon Might to smash the resistance apart.

After a moment, he continued flying up.

“Roar!”

The heaven-shaking dragon roar startled the three heaven-class core disciples awake. The instant they stood up, they saw a lightning dragon charging up.

Before the three could react, the lightning dragon turned and flew over their heads.

The howl of a strong wind rushing by filled their ears. The wind tumbled the three’s long hair, and they hurriedly turned their heads to follow the lightning dragon’s path.

The three saw the lightning dragon stick close to the Spiritual Energy waterfall and swim up. It exuded a certain aura that seemed compatible with the Heavenly Dragon’s Might. action

The second layer of restrictions did not seem to be effective on the lightning dragon as Xiao Chen continued to charge up.

“This...”

This sight shocked the three heaven-class core disciples, inducing a violent fluctuation in their mental states.

“Whoosh!”

In the next moment, Xiao Chen’s physical body appeared and landed firmly on the gigantic head of the Heavenly Dragon statue.

This was the top of the Heavenly Dragon.

Xiao Chen looked around, and he could see all of the palaces, halls, and cities within the entire mountain range.

The many buildings, outer palace disciples, and flying beasts appeared incredibly insignificant in his eyes.

For a period, Xiao Chen’s consciousness expanded. There was a feeling of proudly looking down on the world, of a tyranny where only he reigned supreme.

With the aura of the Heavenly Dragon, Xiao Chen’s ken reached an extraordinary level.

At this moment, an unprecedented heroic sentiment woke in his heart. He vaguely felt that his heart managed to encompass the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace.

Xiao Chen did not know that many peak experts of the Heavenly Dragon Palace appeared behind him on the Heavenly Dragon’s body.

These experts were preparing to make a move to chase him away.

Then, a figure descended silently from the sky. It was the Third Palace Master.

The Third Palace Master slowly descended and gently raised his hand, heading these experts off before they acted rashly and interrupted Xiao Chen.

The Third Palace Master had sharp eyes and could plumb the heavenly mysteries. He could tell that Xiao Chen had entered into some kind of profound state.

Hence, the hundreds of Heavenly Dragon Palace peak experts withdrew quietly, dispersing to various nooks around the gigantic Heavenly Dragon statue. However, they continued to stare at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was unaware of all this. His mind was immersed in the grand scene. He felt lofty aspirations, causing the winds and clouds to surge in the surroundings and the sky to change color.

The vast and mighty group of dragons wanders the world, entering the sky and the sea. Who is honored?

The group of dragons is leaderless in the four seas and eight cardinal directions. The world is unfair, and the evil dragon rules. Why is he honored? Fate is unfavorable; life is like paper...what is supreme? In the entire world, only I am honored.

For some reason, Xiao Chen’s energy automatically circulated in the path required for the Supreme Dragon Fist.

Xiao Chen smiled. Taking advantage of the boundless lofty aspirations in his heart, he started practicing the Supreme Dragon Fist on top of the Heavenly Dragon.

“ First move, Leaderless Dragons!”

“Roar!”

Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy gushed out, and his Qi and blood surged. As he punched, his entire body vibrated intensely. Countless strands of Veritable Essence Energy merged with the Dragon Might, becoming strands of Dragon Qi wandering in the air before turning into tens of thousands of dragons.

The dragons made up of the tens of thousands of strands of Dragon Qi soared and danced above the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s main peak. This scene immediately attracted the attention of the millions of people in the entire Heavenly Dragon Palace.

“Second move, Commanding the Dragons!” Xiao Chen shouted.

The group of berserk dragons immediately turned quiet. Boundless Dragon Might supported Xiao Chen, causing his aura to soar. The tyrannical air of a sovereign descending upon the world burst out of his body, making the group of dragons submit.

“Third move, Regretless Heavenly Dragon!”

The boundless aura gathered into a lofty aspiration focused on Xiao Chen’s fist. When he punched, he was like a regretless Heavenly Dragon filled with determination and ready to give his life. He made the entire main peak tremble.

The Heavenly Dragon under Xiao Chen apparently responded to him. It seemed to come to life and let out a ferocious roar.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

The ancient bells in many of the halls within the Heavenly Dragon Palace pealed at this moment. The clanging of the bells and the dragon roar lingered, echoing endlessly.

“Fourth Move, Raging at the Unfair Heaven!”

The lofty aspiration turned into rage, shaking up the sky and making it change color entirely. The rage in his heart disturbed even the sky.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Countless lightning bolts lashed down at Xiao Chen. He attacked in rage, his fist light soaring to the sky with the flames of anger and shattering the lightning bolts striking at him.

“Fifth move, Master of the World!”

As Xiao Chen’s energy circulated for the Supreme Dragon Fist, a burning war banner appeared when he punched. He grabbed the war banner and planted it by his feet. The entire Heavenly Dragon statue trembled, and the vast Heavenly Dragon Palace shook.

Standing on the Heavenly Dragon statue’s head, Xiao Chen entered a wondrous state. His mind was clear, and the doubts that he had were immediately resolved.

He actually smoothly executed the entire set of Supreme Dragon Fist moves.

Each move flabbergasted the peak experts of the Heavenly Dragon Palace behind him.

When Xiao Chen finished executing the set of Fist Techniques, he felt very delighted and satisfied. His hot-bloodedness surged, and he roared furiously, “What is supreme? In the entire world, only I am honored!”

Immediately, a colossal dragon image surged out of Xiao Chen’s body. It soared up into the nine heavens and looked down on the entire Heavenly Dragon City.

“Delightful!” Xiao Chen laughed loudly and swept his gaze over the place. However, he discovered no one around. For some reason, none of the Elders of the main peak showed up.

He had been thinking about how to explain himself. Now, he was not inclined to dwell on it. He turned into a flash of lightning and went far away.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

After Xiao Chen left, more than a hundred figures appeared. They gathered on the Heavenly Dragon’s head and watched him fly into the distance.

The Third Palace Master stood at the front. After thinking for a long time, he declared gravely, “On my authority as Palace Master, I announce that not a single word about today’s matter can be revealed. If anyone asks, just say that I was practicing my Fist Technique on top of the Heavenly Dragon.”

“Yes, Third Palace Master.”
