Chapter 1192 - 1217: Establishing Authority Over Two Major Clans (Part 1)

Chu Linfeng observed the newcomer and realized it was a formidable expert at the late-stage Immortal Emperor realm, likely the king of the Phoenix Race. In this Ascension Valley, the number of Phoenix Race members is limited, and Chu Linfeng didn’t want to push the other party too far.

He then released the girl called Huo’er, saying, "You should be the king of the Phoenix Race here, right? I’m letting her go not because I’m afraid of you, but for the sake of someone else. You need to understand the situation clearly."

"Who exactly are you? Why are you in this Sky-Spirit Valley and attacking the Tiger Elephant Race? Although I intend to let you go, you need to clarify the situation; otherwise, this Sky-Spirit Valley will not let you come and go as you please," the middle-aged man said.

"Hahahaha, old Phoenix, why are you being so polite to a little brat? Just kill him already!" Several people flew down from the sky and landed on the ground swiftly.

Chu Linfeng glanced at these people and immediately recognized them as members of the Dragon Race, so he laughed and said, "What, the Dragon Race also wants to make a move against me?"

"Kid, how dare you refer to yourself as royalty in front of me? Are you tired of living?" said a middle-aged man among the newcomers, who was also at the late-stage Immortal Emperor realm.

"Royalty? You dare to call yourself royalty in front of me? What a colossal joke. I don’t want to harm either the Dragon Race or the Phoenix Race. Leave on your own, or face the consequences," Chu Linfeng said.

"Face the consequences? Who do you think you are to act so insolently in front of me? Just because of your words, you will surely die today," the Dragon King said.

With that, an immense pressure emanated from him and pressed toward Chu Linfeng. This was Dragon Might, a skill unique to the Dragon Race; however, it had no effect on Chu Linfeng. After all, he was a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, while this middle-aged man was at most a Six-Clawed Golden Dragon.

If Chu Linfeng were to release his own Dragon Might, he might easily subdue these individuals. However, he didn’t intend to do so at this moment. Since he was here, playing along with them could be enjoyable, and it might also curb their arrogance and teach them not to judge others by their appearance.

Chu Linfeng stood there, motionless. The middle-aged man’s Dragon Might posed no threat to him whatsoever. "Such a pitiful display of Dragon Might, and you have the nerve to flaunt it? You, the Dragon King, are truly an embarrassment. You’d be better off retiring, to avoid disgracing yourself here."

The Dragon King was furious at being humiliated in front of everyone. "Today, you’ll learn that the dignity of the Dragon Race is not to be infringed upon. Kid, prepare to witness my Dragon Flame!"

Just as the middle-aged man was about to reveal his true form, another middle-aged man who had accompanied him said, "Dragon King, there’s no need for you to act personally. Dealing with this kid is enough for your subordinate. You should rest on the sidelines with the Phoenix King and watch how I cut him down."

Chu Linfeng was slightly surprised. "Who do you think you are, to fight against me? Get back!" When the words fell, Chu Linfeng unleashed a burst of Dragon Might at the middle-aged man who spoke.

Chu Linfeng controlled his Dragon Might skillfully, ensuring that others wouldn’t realize it. He merely intended to teach the opponent a lesson or perhaps scare him.

This middle-aged man from the Dragon Race was also at the late-stage Immortal Emperor realm. However, the Dragon Might that Chu Linfeng displayed was from the Ancient Times, the might of the Ancestral Dragon. It was, without a doubt, the most powerful Dragon Might among the Dragon Race, forcing any dragon into submission from the depths of their soul.

As the middle-aged man was about to attack Chu Linfeng, an overwhelming pressure suddenly appeared, weighing down on his very soul, compelling him to kneel with an expression of utter disbelief.

At that moment, he looked at Chu Linfeng as if seeing the true king of the Dragon Race, a complete king worthy of worship and submission.

This act startled everyone; they couldn’t understand why he would kneel before this youth when he had clearly intended to attack. Their minds were filled with confusion.

"Silver Dragon, what are you doing? Kneeling to a One-Man Race, it’s enough to make me furious!" the Golden Dragon King roared in anger, pulling the Silver Dragon up at once.

"Dragon King, he... he actually displayed Dragon Might, and it’s of such terrifying intensity that I can’t help but submit. The pressure is so overwhelming, it’s beyond belief," the middle-aged man quickly explained.

Chu Linfeng now wore a disdainful expression. "Since you’ve submitted to me, why do you still speak with that attitude? Do I need to demonstrate my power again?"

The Golden Dragon King felt puzzled as well. The Silver Dragon was among the top experts in the Dragon Race, so what he said must not be simple. Looking at Chu Linfeng, he asked, "Who exactly are you? Why do you have Dragon Might?"

"I am a friend of the Dragon Race, as well as a friend of the Phoenix Race. Yet you intend to kill a friend. This leaves me a bit disheartened. I’ll give you one more chance: leave quickly, or you’ll regret it," Chu Linfeng said.

"Ridiculous, do you think you can scare me? Since you won’t speak, I’ll force you to!" the Golden Dragon King angrily declared.

"Golden Dragon, no need to be angry. Why don’t I get him to speak the truth? He was quite disrespectful to my Phoenix Race people just now. It’s only fair that I should be the one to act," the king of the Phoenix Race said.

Chu Linfeng chuckled, "I think it would be best for both of you to attack together. Otherwise, it won’t be any fun. You should use all your strength, or you’ll regret it."

"Such audacity! I’ll let you witness the Nirvana Fire of the Phoenix Race!" the Phoenix King shouted angrily. Originally, he had no intention of killing Chu Linfeng, but now he did, as Chu Linfeng had disrespected the dignity of a king.

Soon, a brilliant red flame, with hints of black, appeared in his hand, swiftly enveloping Chu Linfeng. The air crackled and popped, as if about to combust.

The others quickly retreated, as the heat was unbearable. They assumed Chu Linfeng would be slain by the Nirvana Fire, but to their amazement, the same phenomenon occurred as before—the Nirvana Fire couldn’t harm him.

Instead, Chu Linfeng walked forward slowly, "I told you to attack me together, but you didn’t listen. This flame is much too weak. I don’t feel a thing."

With a thought, the fire was absorbed into his Dantian and instantly digested, revealing his intact form. "Surprised? Your Nirvana Fire was directly absorbed by me."

The crowd gasped in shock. The Phoenix King, face full of fear, asked, "Who exactly are you? How could you absorb my Nirvana Fire? My Nirvana Fire is much stronger than Celestial Fire, enough to pose a fatal threat even to a late-stage Immortal Emperor power."

"Who am I? If I told you, I’m afraid you’d be terrified. If you really want to know who I am, it’s simple: show sincerity by kneeling to me, and I’ll naturally reveal it," Chu Linfeng said with a smile.

"Outrageous! I’ll annihilate you today!" the Golden Dragon King roared in shame and anger...
