Chapter 2900: Entering the Lake

Chapter 2900: Chapter 2900: Entering the Lake

Fang Bai could keep his composure, but the other God Emperors guarding the surroundings of the Golden Lake could no longer sit still.

Not long after Fang Bai, their Divine Sense also detected that densely packed school of Golden Fish.

In the next instant, the figures of the four God Emperors suddenly rose, like divine dragons from the firmament, flying to the center of the Golden Lake. Their divine power condensed into giant palms that reached to seize the Golden Fish about to surface.

"Boom!"

The four giant palms of divine power almost simultaneously tore open the lake surface, plunged into the water, and stirred up towering waves.

However, before their giant palms of divine power could touch the Golden Fish, two dragon roars rang out from the depths at the bottom of the lake.

Those two dragon roars seemed to contain some mysterious force that made the hearts and minds of the experts around the Golden Lake tremble, their souls quiver.

Several of the weakest Divine Emperor Realm experts were almost shaken into soul and spirit scattering; they fell from the sky to the ground, expressions dazed, eyes blank.

Even Fang Bai felt his heart thump violently a few times, and only by immediately circulating his Divine Method did he forcefully suppress it.

"Only the sound, without their form revealed, already shakes and cowes the experts on all sides. Those two Golden Dragons are not simple!"

Fang Bai was secretly shocked. Previously he had thought the two Golden Dragons were not at the Emperor Realm, and that he could easily handle them, but now he did not dare harbor the slightest contempt.

He judged that if those two Golden Dragons were a male and female pair, they would certainly cooperate seamlessly, able in battle to unleash combat power far surpassing their realm; ordinary Divine Emperor Realm experts truly would not be their match.

Almost within a single breath, the two Golden Dragons, each a hundred zhang long, burst out from the lake surface, baring fangs and brandishing claws, scattering the four giant palms of divine power that had reached to grasp them.

"Aooong!"

The dragon chant sounded again as the two awe-inspiring Golden Dragons launched a fierce assault on the four Divine Emperor Realm experts standing suspended above the Golden Lake.

Their massive tails swept horizontally, and wherever they passed, the void quaked incessantly, emitting humming booms.

The four Divine Emperor Realm experts were visibly shaken. Unable to dodge in time, they could only each summon their Divine Artifacts to block head-on.

"Boom!"

With a muffled crash, the Golden Dragons’ giant tails struck the Divine Artifacts the four Divine Emperor Realm experts held before their bodies.

The tiger’s mouths of the four Divine Emperor Realm experts were shaken fiercely; the Divine Artifacts gripped tight in their hands nearly flew free, and their figures were hurled back a thousand zhang.

The other experts around the Golden Lake had originally hoped the four God Emperors could tangle up the two Golden Dragons, giving them a chance to slip in and snatch a few Golden Fish.

Yet first they were cowed by the Golden Dragons’ roars, and then they saw the four God Emperors driven back by a single strike, in utter disarray.

What happened in that fleeting instant fully revealed the formidable power of the two Golden Dragons.

After repelling the four God Emperors, the two Golden Dragons actually spat out Golden Power and wove a barrier a thousand zhang across upon the lake surface, and at that very moment, a great number of Golden Fish surfaced, leaping and frolicking.

The experts all around, seeing those tens of thousands of Golden Fish and thinking that each one was an Emperor Realm Divine Elixir, could not help but drool with greed.

Only, when they saw the two Golden Dragons guarding above the barrier, for a time they did not dare step forward to seize them.

Even the four God Emperors, having just been repelled by the two Golden Dragons, felt some trepidation in their hearts, watching from afar and pondering countermeasures.

The two Golden Dragons looked down proudly upon all the experts, clear disdain in their eyes.

"You three, it seems only by working together do we have any hope of defeating these two Golden Dragons and snatching some Golden Fish. What say you?"

One God Emperor looked at the other three, seeking their opinion.

The other three God Emperors exchanged glances and all nodded in agreement.

Just now, the four God Emperors had fought separately, their strength scattered, which was why they had been driven back by the two Golden Dragons. If they could unite in heart and will, coordinating offense and defense, then in dealing with the two Golden Dragons they would at least not suffer being repelled again.

Thus the four God Emperors, spaced a thousand zhang apart, advanced step by step with Lotus Step by Step, slowly pressing toward the barrier formed by the two Golden Dragons, brandishing the Divine Artifacts in their hands, intending to shatter it.

A God Emperor can explode a star with a single punch; such is the enormity of their strength. Though that barrier was incomparably solid, under their storm-like ferocious assault it shuddered on the verge of breaking.

Their actions enraged the two Golden Dragons.

The two Golden Dragons either spat divine power or swung their giant tails, once again clashing with the four God Emperors.

This time the four God Emperors were of one mind, fighting the two Golden Dragons to an even match.

As they battled, wave upon wave of violent shock force rolled out. The other experts were forced to retreat to ten thousand li away to avoid being caught up in it.

If any Divine Emperor Realm expert dared to force their way close, it would be courting death; most likely they would end up scattered to ash, body and bones gone without trace.

Compared to the other experts, Fang Bai and the few Half-Step Divine Emperors were much stronger. They formed Defense Qi Shields a thousand li away to watch the battle, unaffected.

"Now is the time!"

Seeing both sides locked in a fierce struggle, with no attention to spare elsewhere, Fang Bai immediately raised the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, shielding his body with divine power as he charged toward the barrier woven by the two Golden Dragons.

He had thought breaking the barrier would not be easy, but upon nearing it he unexpectedly felt a faint resonance, as if the Pangu Axe within his Sea of Consciousness were reacting to something at the bottom of the lake.

Finding it strange, Fang Bai put away the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and summoned the Pangu Axe from his Sea of Consciousness, driving straight into the barrier with it. The barrier did not break, but he and the Pangu Axe together passed through it and entered the space within.

At that, Fang Bai could not help but be overjoyed.

Looking down, he saw that the tens of thousands of Golden Fish were still frolicking upon the lake surface, within arm’s reach, and seemed to harbor no defense against him at all.

Fang Bai drew in a deep breath; his left arm swept swiftly toward the lake surface below, and as the light upon the Five Elements Space Ring on his finger flashed, a vast number of Golden Fish were immediately collected into it.

He swung his arm several more times in succession, and that school of Golden Fish leaping above the water was emptied by him.

The two Golden Dragons were enraged beyond measure. Abandoning their battle with the four God Emperors, they dissolved the barrier and launched an assault on Fang Bai.

"Brat, hand over the Golden Fish!"

Seeing so many Golden Fish snatched by Fang Bai, the four God Emperors were also greatly alarmed. No longer caring about the Golden Dragons, they all pounced toward Fang Bai as well.

Two divine dragons and four God Emperors attacked Fang Bai together; six pressures on par with the Divine Emperor Realm stacked atop one another, bearing down toward Fang Bai’s head.

Even though Fang Bai possessed battle power comparable to a God Emperor—possibly even a notch higher—in the face of the combined assault of six Emperor Realm powers, his scalp could not help but prickle.

With six Emperor Realm experts attacking, Fang Bai had no time to think. Together with the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, he plunged downward toward the bottom of the Golden Lake.

He knew that the waters of this Golden Lake contained extremely pure and dense divine power that could dissolve a portion of the attacks from the six Emperor Realm experts, so he dove into the lake to evade them.

Among the seven types of Innate Spiritual Roots he possessed was the Water Spirit Root; thus upon entering the water he was like a dragon returning to the sea, his speed so great that he was in no way inferior to the two Golden Dragons.

By the time the two Golden Dragons had just entered the water, his figure had already sunk to the lakebed.
