Chapter 226: Chapter 116 Do You Really Have the Qualifications? _3

When Ao Yu retaliates, his authority as the River Ji Dragon Sovereign would inevitably be further weakened.

Rather than sitting idly awaiting death and further weakening his authority as the Dragon Sovereign, he might as well take the initiative to fight a precarious battle!

Thinking of this, Ao Lang’s face hardened, his palm heavily smacking down on the Dragon Sovereign’s throne, his authority as the River Ji Dragon Sovereign bypassed the grotto heavens barrier and descended upon River Ji.

The entire River Ji Dragon Palace grotto heavens shook intensely; a massive, surge of waves emerged within the boundless ocean, and the entire heaven and earth seemed to tremble at this moment.

Ao Yu, looking horrified, stared at Ao Lang and said in a deep voice:

“Have you gone mad? The ancestral vein is still unstable, and the River Ji Dragon Palace can’t come into the world yet. Your reckless use of the Dragon Sovereign’s authority in the mortal world is shaking the foundation of the River Ji Dragon Palace grotto heavens!”

Facing Ao Yu’s accusation, Ao Lang no longer had the heart to consider it.

His mind connected with River Ji, and the next moment, the River Ji barrier that covered the River Ji’s territories in Cang Province quietly disappeared.

The authority of the River Ji Dragon Sovereign connected to the river. In the sky above Qingping County City, a god with a dragon’s head and a human’s body, wearing a dragon robe and a pearl-veil crown appeared.

In an instant, the rivers overturned, and all aquatic creatures in the river basin spontaneously prostrated themselves in reverence, obeying their instinct to offer the highest respect to the dragon-headed god.

“Dragon Sovereign!”

The Giant Clam Water God was instantly bewildered. The next moment, he saw the projection of the River Ji Dragon Sovereign raise his right hand. A huge, heavy phantom of the Dragon Palace appeared behind the Giant Clam Water God.

That was the authority of the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, the might of a realm that had been under his rule for tens of thousands of years.

With the Dragon Sovereign’s authority bestowed upon him, the Giant Clam Water God was surprised to find that the suppression from the Divine Monarch’s Imperial Edict had vanished quietly.

The River Ji Dragon Sovereign withdrew his right hand. The Dragon Sovereign’s authority, which bypassed the boundaries of the grotto heavens, did not have the true ability to attack, but it was enough to counter Shen Yuan’s Imperial Edict.

Looking at the silent white-robed banished immortal holding the River Ji Dragon Seal, the River Ji Dragon Sovereign believed in his judgement more and more, and a sinister smile appeared on his dignified face.

“Clam, kill this fake Divine Monarch!”

“Kill…?” The Giant Clam Water God looked uneasy.

“Idiot! The one in front of you is a fake. If he were a real Divine Monarch walking in this world, why would he remain motionless after suppressing you?

The only reason he’s holding on is that he has exhausted all his tricks and can’t act against you anymore!”

The River Ji Dragon Sovereign stared sharply, as if he had seen through all the truth.

The Giant Clam Water God looked shocked, but following the words of the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, his thoughts led him to agree that everything seemed to be just as the River Ji Dragon Sovereign said.

The fear in his heart gradually disappeared. After a bit of thought, the elderly face of the Giant Clam Water God showed a hint of determination, as he was about to act.

But at this moment, Shen Yuan, who has been inactive since issuing the Imperial Edict, suddenly spoke.

“So you’re the new Dragon Sovereign who took over after driving away Prince Ji Du?”

His indifferent gaze looked up and down the dragon-headed god before him, then he gently shook his head.

“I thought anyone who could suppress Prince Ji Du would have some extraordinary ability. But now it seems, it was all just a matter of luck.

He was able to tread The Path of the Ancient Water God. You, on the other hand, hide in the Dragon Palace stirring up trouble. You are nowhere near his equal.”

The River Ji Dragon Sovereign’s pupils contracted as he blurted out:

“Impossible! He had clearly perished during the Spirit Energy depletion period. How could he have the eligibility to tread The Path of the Ancient Water God?”

“Perished in the Spirit Energy depletion period?” Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, his words laced with indescribable mockery:

“As the River Ji Dragon Sovereign, you don’t even know why Prince Ji Du met his end. You truly are incorrigibly stupid.”

The River Ji Dragon Sovereign was enraged but quickly regained his composure, speaking harshly to Shen Yuan:

“Regardless of whether what you say is true or false, you cannot change the fact that you are surely going to die today.

I will use your Spirit Soul to light the soul lamp, which will burn in the Dragon Palace for ten thousand years.”

Shen Yuan casually flicked the River Ji Dragon Seal in his hand, alluding deeply:

“Before his death, Prince Ji Du said something similar to me. Unfortunately, he did not have the qualifications to do so.”

As his words fell, the sky became engulfed in a cloud as dark as the deep night, covering the entire skyline. Just moments ago, it was clear and bright, but now it seemed like the end of days was descending.

The earth fell into silence instantaneously. An indescribable immense pressure permeated everyone’s hearts. The rapidly spreading darkness pulled everyone’s spirits into a bottomless abyss.

When the last sliver of light was utterly swallowed, a thunderclap reverberated from the clear sky, echoes of thunder collided amongst the dense clouds, illuminating the land with a deadly pallor.

Shen Yuan stood confidently between heaven and earth, asking the River Ji Dragon Sovereign in a soft voice:

“Do you really have the qualifications?
