1743 Heavenly Rainbow Dragon Core, Long Shuijing’s Darkest Days

After the battle at the God King Crater, Chu Kuangren became synonymous with death. No Prodigies or sky-prides dared to challenge him anymore.

His hunting game was forced to pause, so he concentrated his efforts on exploring the Ancient Central Heaven Planet to increase his Trinity Flower realm.

On that particular day, after he refined a new item he found, his Immortal’s Core Flower was increased to the Twenty-fourth Grade, following his Life’s Core Flower.

All that was left was his Soul Flower.

However, resources that could boost the soul were extremely rare. It was even harder than increasing both the Immortal’s Core Flower and Life’s Core Flower together.

Without the Nine-colored Celestial Soul Physique and the soul-boosting items he received from the gacha, his Soul Flower would not have achieved such a high grade.

“Congratulations, Host! You’ve won a God-tier prize, the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon Core!”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.

The Heavenly Rainbow Dragon Core, as its name suggested, was the bloodline essence of the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon.

The Heavenly Rainbow Dragon was said to be the ancestor of the dragons in the Central Heaven Universe, the first dragon that started it all. Its power reached the Primordial Realm, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, it became a legend.

No one knew whether it was alive or dead.

Perhaps it was slumbering in a corner of the universe, but no one could be certain.

Chu Kuangren took the dragon core out, but unfortunately, it did not contain Primordial energy. At most, it was at the Embodier level.

In other words, it was the dragon core of the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon before it reached the Primordial Realm.

Although it was a priceless treasure to the Dragon Tribe, it was not of much use to Chu Kuangren.

What would he do with the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon’s inheritance?

He already had many inheritances, and some was even better than the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon, such as the Three Clarity, the Human Emperor, and all kinds of unrivaled physiques.

“Let’s just put it aside. Maybe I can find a use for it someday,” Chu Kuangren muttered.

Kaboom!

Further away in a mountain, a powerful energy explosion happened.

The explosion was from Ling Fei, and his cultivation had just reached a new level.

There were a lot of Opportunities of Fortune on the Ancient Central Heaven Planet, and Chu Kuangren was great at locating them.

Since Ling Fei and Han Xingyu followed him around, they would always get a share of the loot, so it was normal for them to grow stronger.

“Heavenly Sword.”

Ling Fei came to Chu Kuangren and bowed.

He respected Chu Kuangren as much as the Sword God King or more.

After all, he had only seen the Sword God King a few times, but he spent a lot of time with Chu Kuangren and had improved with the latter’s guidance.

It was safe to say without Chu Kuangren, he would not be where he was today.

He was glad he did not hold a grudge against Chu Kuangren when he got slashed and chose to follow the latter. It might be the best decision he made in his entire life.

“Han Xingyu is still cultivating. It might take her a while. You guard her, and I’ll go out for a walk,” Chu Kuangren said.

“I understand.”

…

Long Shuijing was at her lowest over the past few days.

She had expected herself to steal the spotlight on the Ancient Central Heaven Planet. Even if she could steal the show, her power was enough to garner attention.

However, the reality was harsh. In less than a few days, she ended up in the worst state possible.

She was defeated by Chu Kuangren, got backstabbed by her brother whom she trusted, and lost almost all her Crystal Dragon bloodline.

What a tragedy!

“Chi Longying, I respected you as a senior. I even fought Chu Kuangren with you, and you backstabbed me?”

Long Shuijing leaned against a big tree to rest.

The Crystal Dragon scales were showing on her skin, but they were falling off one by one.

It was a sign of her bloodline withering.

Chi Longying somehow cultivated some wicked cultivation technique that was effective against the Dragon Tribe. He stabbed her while she was recovering, and the dagger absorbed her bloodline.

Had she not used a secret technique to escape at the last minute, she would have died on the spot.

“I must go back and inform Father about this. I have to tell him to be careful of Chi Longying.”

Long Shuijing forced herself to stand on her feet.

She had been on the run from Chi Longying’s men for days. She could only escape until now by using her remaining energy, but she was stretched far beyond her limits.

Swoosh!

Several figures with dragon qi approached her swiftly.

“They’re here!”

Long Shuijing’s expression shifted, and she started to run.

However, dragon breath attacked her from the back, sending her to the ground.

Blood gushed from her mouth after she fell, and she looked even weaker than before.

“Stop running, Dragon Maiden. You can’t escape,” said a man with dragon horns.

Behind him, more Dragon Tribe members came to surround her, and their auras had locked down the entire area.

“Do you know what would happen if Father finds out you’re teaming up with Chi Longying?” Long Shuijing said coldly.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Just be good and die!”

The Dragon Tribe members then attacked her with a variety of Dragon Tribe cultivation techniques.

“Dragon King Claw!”

Long Shuijing bellowed and channeled the remaining dragon qi in her to fend off the attacks.

However, the energy blast made her cough up a mouthful of blood.

“I can’t die here!”

Long Shuijing mustered up her strength and started to run.

Bang!

One of the Dragon Tribe members threw a punch at her, throwing her to the ground again.

“Stop struggling, Dragon Maiden. You will only make things harder.”

“You traitors! I will expose you all when I return to the Dragon Tribe!”

Long Shuijing wiped the blood off her lips.

However, her pursuers looked at her pitifully. One of them said, “Dragon Maiden, do you really think exposing Chi Longying to the elders will change anything?”

“What do you mean?” Long Shuijing’s heart sank, and her anxiety intensified.

“It has been days since what happened, and do you really think the Dragon Kings don’t know about what happened here?”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

Her stomach churned.

“You talk too much. Do it!”

The other man stopped him from talking and urged his team to attack.

With that, the group attacked once more.

Bang!

This time, it was Long Shuijing who released a blast of energy.

She took the risk to ignite her remaining Crystal Dragon blood and boost her power by force.

“Back off!” she shouted.

She threw a punch to push them off and flee.

That was when someone else appeared before her.

It was a middle-aged man from the Dragon Tribe, looking frosty in his black robes.

Long Shuijing was glad to see the man. “Second Uncle Long!”

The man before her eyes was her father’s right-hand man, and she believed he was here in her father’s order to save her.

Spurt!

The dragon claw perforated Long Shuijing’s chest, causing blood to spurt out everywhere.

She looked at Second Uncle Long, whom she thought was here to save her, in disbelief.

“Why?!”
