Chapter 1501: Chapter 1501: Displaying Their Divine Powers

Above the battlefield, Xia Yu seemingly effortlessly deflected the enemy’s forbidden spell attack, but in reality, preventing such a large-scale and powerful magma assault was no easy task, especially as the number of attacks continued to increase. Even for Xia Yu, maintaining control was quite exhausting.

Others in the Investigation Hall couldn’t just stand by. After Xia Yu slowed the fall of the magma, Gu Shenghui and Jiang Donghu quickly took action. Gu Shenghui flew into the air, channeling source energy to unleash his supernatural abilities. He rapidly swung both fists at the sky full of magma, causing the magma struck by his powers to instantly fragment into numerous neatly cut blocks, suspended in mid-air.

Xia Yu and Gu Shenghui’s display of abilities was already impressive, but compared to Jiang Donghu, their momentum seemed to pale in comparison. Once a key member of the Superpower Team, Jiang Donghu had met Pei Yan while protecting Pei Jin and later joined the Elite Squad with Zheng Jia Ru and others. His supernatural ability was a unique variant among human and ghostly heroes corresponding to the divine beast—dragon. It was thanks to this event that he was able to sign a symbiotic contract with the Dragon Realm. Inspired by his ability, a high-level Divine Dragon from the Dragon Realm voluntarily signed a degraded contract with him, making him the most advanced among the contract signers.

This battle became Jiang Donghu’s best stage to showcase his talents. With a loud dragon roar echoing among the people, Jiang Donghu leaped out of the crowd into the air. In a flash of golden light, his clothes vanished, and after a moment of twisting and transformation, his body began to swell as dragon scales rapidly covered his skin. Under numerous astonished gazes, Jiang Donghu’s body grew larger, and shortly after, a massive dragon that stretched across half the battlefield and emitted shimmering golden light appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Pei Yan, who had a special fascination with dragons, could not help but marvel at this scene, exclaiming, "Is this the transformation resulting from signing a contract with the Dragon Realm? It’s different from the Beast God’s fusion; this divine dragon uses its own dragon aura to catalyze Old Jiang’s abilities to the extreme, producing such an effect? He really has found the divine beast most suited to his contract."

"Indeed! The dragon that signed a contract with Jiang Donghu is of the current Dragon King’s family, usually with no special circumstances, such a divine dragon wouldn’t sign a symbiotic contract with us. It’s precisely because of Jiang Donghu’s unique abilities that the dragon feels that coexistence can perfectly enhance both their strengths and realms. That’s why they made an exception to sign a contract with someone of lower realm to aid his growth. Now it indeed seems outstanding!" Elder Lin, who had especially returned to assist this action, felt comforted seeing the Investigation Hall had worthy successors.

Ao! Ao!

After completing his body’s transformation, Jiang Donghu raised his head to the sky and let out a dragon roar. Then, his natural dragon might started to spread outward. Under the influence of this dragon might, other cultivators fared better; all participating Temple Knights had a minimum power equivalent to a sixth-level supernatural ability user. Although intimidated by the Divine Dragon’s might, their combat-willed strength from long-term training allowed them to resist the mental pressure from the dragon might. However, the mounts they rode were caught off-guard by this oppressive aura from a higher being.

The flying dragons, who bore a slight kinship with the Dragon Race, were most affected. The Dragon Riders, who still barely resisted under mechanical split attacks, were entirely annihilated after this dragon roar. Surviving flying dragons refused to obey their masters’ commands, trembling as they flapped their wings desperately to escape in the opposite direction from the Divine Dragon. Besides the flying dragons, griffins and warhorses also experienced varying degrees of impact. Those further away were only startled and quickly calmed down under the Temple Knights’ orders. However, the warhorses directly beneath the Divine Dragon completely collapsed, their front hooves softened, and their bodies fell uncontrollably, causing both the knights on their backs to become victims of the Mechanical Legion.

Jiang Donghu’s goal wasn’t simply to scare these magical beasts. After showcasing his divine power, his dragon body rotated in the air, and the small magma fragments initially blocked by Xia Yu and then shattered by Gu Shenghui explosively burst. After the power was gradually diminished in layers, this burst indeed dishonored its forbidden spell name, causing no substantial harm to those who bore it, instead resembling fireworks crackling around the dragon’s body, adding a few points of momentum to Jiang Donghu’s appearance.

After entirely nullifying the first wave of forbidden spell attacks, the transformed Divine Dragon of Jiang Donghu made a round in the air and turned its dragon head towards the direction of the Council City’s army, opening its dragon mouth, with surging source energy crazily converging within its throat.

Seeing this scene, the Council City couldn’t sit still any longer. Two figures rapidly darted out from the Council City crowd, heading straight towards the Divine Dragon!

Bang! Bang!

Two cannon-like crashes exploded in the air; the figures that had just dashed out were successfully intercepted by one person, forced to retreat after a brief exchange.

The two forced back retreated a hundred meters before steadying their posture, looking shocked at the figure who had driven them back.

"I wondered who it was! Turns out to be old friends from the Round Table Knights! This is your stage! From your status, you must have found the corpse most suited for possession, and after donning your Divine Artifact Armor, you’ve recovered to the state closest to your peak before life, right? So this is the power said to be at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dao by Pei Yan?" Zheng Jia Ru lightly stroked the crack on his chest, gazing at the two knights wrapped in armor before him. Though he couldn’t see their faces, he could still instantly recognize their aura, both being Gerald and Jiaheris, whose souls were once summoned to fight against him. Compared to today, their souls were like beings of another level. If they had today’s strength in the arena back then, the fate for Xia Yu and the other three would be simply death.

Unfortunately, if only it were a simple if, these two Round Table Knights regained their full-strength forms, yet Zheng Jia Ru wasn’t the Wu Xia A Meng he once was either.

"It’s you! The guy who killed Boss!" Jiaheris soon recognized the young man who left him with a profound impact and humiliating defeat.

"I said back then that these young ones would become immense trouble left unchecked, and now they’ve developed to this extent in such a short time!" Gerald remarked, looking at the Zheng Jia Ru before him, who managed to endure blows to the chest and forced both him and Jiaheris back with successive strikes, causing his hand holding the longsword to still faintly tremble. The opponent’s overwhelming strength surpassed his understanding of humans.
