One red, one purple, two streaks of light zoomed towards the sky. 

And the end of their destination was quite a marvelous place:  cliffs hung high in the horizon, towering peaks disappeared into the clouds.

Looking up, one could witness the vastness of the blue dome of Heaven.

However, this wasn’t what was astonishing.

What was truly astonishing was that the vast stretch of mountains and network of rivers and streams was untouched by dust, displaying a perfect combination of beauty and nature.

Some peaks appeared to be full of Spiritual Energy, showcasing strange phenomena amidst the rising mist and clouds around them.

This was White Dragon’s Lair, a place rumored to have a mythical Dragon lurking.

And now, at this mysterious place…

*Roooaaar…* A Dragon Roar, as if coming from ancient times, shook the rivers.

Immediately afterward, much to the astonishment of countless people, a faint hundred-meter-long silhouette White Dragon appeared at the horizon.

Though the ‘White Dragon’ was covered in scales and had horns on his head, it wasn’t the real mythical Dragon that possessed the abilities of various animals. It was just a Flood Dragon.

While it might be labeled as a Flood Dragon, witnessing it stir the winds and clouds, and cause the rivers to churn with a roar, every Superhuman couldn’t help but gasp in a breath of cold air.

“So this is the unspeakable existence of White Dragon’s Lair?” Exclaiming in astonishment, each and every Superhuman glanced at each other.

“This is just one of them.” Sighing, a Superhuman’s eyes narrowed as he added, “White Dragon’s Lair is a Spiritual Paradise, nurturing many incredibly powerful Mutant Beasts. However, these Mutant Beasts are all extremely proud. They rarely unite… Otherwise, given the current strength of China, we wouldn’t dare to invade this Forbidden Zone.”

Having finished speaking, the Superhuman deeply glanced at a figure not far away.

*Pffffteee…* Underneath the White Flood Dragon, a Giant White Elephant, seemingly carved from jade and a hundred meters tall, let out a long and terrifying trumpet. Surging with Spiritual Energy, it happened to be surrounded by a faint glow.

On the head of this Giant Elephant was a girl dressed in red also happened to be standing quietly.

A sea of purple flames continued to spread from her, wrapping around the Giant Elephant underneath her, seemingly creating a cloak for the Giant Elephant.

They were none other than the Patron Saint of Flame City – the White Jade Divine Elephant, and the best prodigy of China: the Empress, Ling Er.

Today, they were the only ones who instilled the greatest confidence in China’s raid on White Dragon’s Lair.

…

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, Master,” replying in a resonant voice, the White Elephant swung his long trunk fiercely upward, and trumpeted towards the sky.

The next moment, a burst of Spiritual Energy surged as a visible tornado. It was akin to hurricane of category 12. This mighty force burst out from the long trunk of White Elephant, blowing straight towards the White Flood Dragon in the sky.

At the same time, a long whip made of bright and hideous silver-white segments, each shining like silver, appeared in Ling Er’s hands. As she infused Spiritual Energy into it, the whip made strange and eerie sounds, as if roaring.

*Chi, chi…* Amidst strange squeaking sounds, the ten-meter-long silver whip continued to extend until it reached a length of a hundred meters, swirling towards the sky like a tornado.

The silver whip was constructed from the Silver Centipede and happened to be Ling Er’s weapon of choice.

Since Ling Er stepped into Tier-3, this silver whip has become even more extraordinary. Not only could it freely extend, but it also seemed to have a life of its own, and could attack on its own.

“Human…” The Flood Dragon lurking in the white clouds shouted furiously before roaring.

*Roooaaar…* The terrifying Dragon froze everyone on the spot, and also blasted undulating sound waves towards the tornado breathed by the Giant Elephant.

At the same time, the Flood Dragon also swung its giant tail, which left a white streak of afterimages as it swished through the air and collided with the oncoming silver-white whip.

*Boom!* The thunderous collision almost deafened countless Mutant Beasts. Simultaneous shockwaves, visible to the naked eye, swept across the sky one after another.

However, just as the shockwaves surged, White Elephant raised his front limbs high and stamped on the air, shouting, “Heaven-Reaching Stamp…”

In that moment, space seemingly froze, and time came to a stand still.

Immediately afterward, much to the Flood Dragon’s stupefaction, the still space shattered like a broken mirror, and a pair of giant feet descending, fiercely stomping towards the Flood Dragon, carrying unparalleled might.

This was the terrifying ability of the White Jade Divine Elephant’s Heaven-Reaching Stamp, capable of locking down space.

However, faced with this move, the Flood Dragon remained calm.

After a moment, it even smiled and spoke, “Are you still not going to come out, Third Sister?”

“Hahaha…” A sweet and charming laughter, akin to melodious chimes of silver bells, suddenly echoed, causing the expressions of White Elephant and Ling Er to drastically change.

At the same time, the water in the nearby river swelled before a pitch-black streak shot out, whizzing straight towards White Elephant, much to the Superhumans’ astonishment.

“Stop her…”

“Hurry, stop her from reaching the battlefield…”

With a series of alarmed shouts, countless Superhumans, who had accompanied Ling Er here and were blocking the various Mutant Beasts, promptly rushed towards the incoming black streak.

Among them, two were so fast that even they left two streaking trails in their wake.

One was none other than the current Deputy Mayor of Flame City–Lin Yan, and the other was China’s First Knight.

Both of them were Tier-3 Superhumans.

However, compared to the unfathomable beings like Ling Er and White Elephant, their combat power was limited.

Lin Yan, it went without saying. Although he was Ling Er’s confidant, he was only at the Realm of Marquis.

As for China’s First Knight, he was only in the Realm of Monarch…

Compared to Ling Er, who had reached the pinnacle of the Realm of King, and could unleash terrifying power close to the Realm of Sovereign while cooperating with White Elephant, they were indeed far behind.

After all, in Tier-3, the higher one went along the Realms of Marquis, Monarch, King, Sovereign, and the Emperor of the World, the greater the disparity.

It wasn’t uncommon for a powerful Tier-3 King to slap a Tier-3 Marquis to death with a single slap.

This was also the reason why, even with a lot of Tier-3 Superhumans emerging during these three years, He Ling Er had still reigned at the top.

“You think you can stop me? How ridiculous!” Mocking in a coquettish voice, the pitch-black streak suddenly changed direction, tracing a very strange trajectory and bypassing the Superhuman blocking her, much to the horror of China’s First Knight and Lin Yan.

The next moment…

*Boom…* With a thunderous crash, the White Elephant, who had released his ultimate move, the Heaven-Reaching Stamp, suddenly staggered as a depression appeared in his body.

Immediately after, in the playful gaze of the White Flood Dragon, the feet of White Elephant suddenly came to a halt, and he couldn’t help but let out a mournful cry. Faintly, one could see deep red blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

And all of this was due to backlash.

The ability of the Heaven-Reaching Stamp, which locked down the space, was indeed terrifying. However, the more terrifying the ability, the more severe was the backlash when forcefully interrupted.

The White Flood Dragon, who was quite experienced in battles, had also noticed this and preemptively arranged for its Third Sister to lurk nearby.

The purpose was to interrupt the White Elephant’s Heaven-Reaching Stamp.  Otherwise, even it would suffer serious injuries if it got directly hit by these giant hooves.
