Chapter 299: Shocking the Dragons

"What! The Valley Master is a Half-Step God!"

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor was about to retort, but after processing it, his face was filled with shock.

He hadn't expected his own Valley Master to have taken a half-step into the Realm above Immortal Emperor, and even less expected that the man standing before him would dare to say he didn't even care about the Heavenly Dao.

If it were the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm, let alone Wu Hao, even he wouldn't care, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to think Wu Hao was referring to the Lower Realm's Heavenly Dao.

As for the Upper Realm's Heavenly Dao, although its exact Realm was unknown, ancient records mentioned an Immortal Emperor Late Stage expert who violated a Heavenly Dao Oath and was struck down by a Lightning Tribulation sent by the Heavenly Dao, unable to offer even the slightest resistance.

Since then, although the experts of the Upper Realm did not know the extent of the Heavenly Dao's power, they knew it wouldn't be lower than the Immortal Emperor Peak, and might even be far beyond the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Yet, in such a situation, Wu Hao still dared to despise the Heavenly Dao. Was his strength truly sufficient to support such behavior, or was he just being arrogant?

However, Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor didn't say anything to refute him. After all, if he did, he didn't know if the Heavenly Dao would destroy Wu Hao, but he was certain he would be destroyed by Wu Hao first.

Just then, with two booming sounds, Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor and Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor, who had been fighting fiercely in the air, fell to the ground one after another. Wu Qilong stood in the sky, his aura surging like a demon god, his eyes fixed on Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor and Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor, brimming with Battle Intent.

It was clear that Wu Qilong had now unleashed his true Battle Intent.

But in the next second, Wu Hao spoke.

"Qi Long."

As Wu Hao's voice fell, Wu Qilong let out a long breath and directly withdrew his Battle Intent. Only then did he approach Wu Hao and stand behind him.

Meanwhile, Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor had returned to the side of Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor and Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor and helped them up.

"You three should fulfill your promise and become the mounts of our Wu Family."

The expressions of the three dragons, including Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor, were extremely unsightly. Clearly, they found the idea of becoming mounts for the Human Race unacceptable, but it was also clear that it wasn't their place to decide now.

Wu Hao naturally saw this, so he gave a cold laugh and said,

"Do you think making your True Dragon Clan the exclusive mounts of our Wu Family is an insult to your clan? No, this is a supreme honor bestowed upon the True Dragon Clan. Believe it or not, if I wanted to, I could Cultivate a race even more powerful than the True Dragon Clan at any time."

"Don't think I'm joking; I just think the True Dragon Clan looks a bit cooler. If you're unwilling, I don't mind wiping out the True Dragon Clan and using the Vermilion Bird Clan as the exclusive mounts for our Wu Family."

Hearing Wu Hao's words, the three dragons instinctively disbelieved him, but then they thought of something and remained silent. Wu Qilong was already at the Immortal Emperor Peak; was Wu Hao's Realm truly just Immortal Emperor Peak?

After a long while, Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to Wu Hao.

"Senior, it's not that we're unwilling to become the Wu Family's exclusive mounts, but we are dragons of Myriad Dragon Valley. Our Life-Source Souls are in the hands of the Valley Master. If we leave Myriad Dragon Valley, the Valley Master can easily decide our life or death."

"So unless the Valley Master agrees, we cannot become the exclusive mounts of the Wu Family."

Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor and Heavenly Dragon Immortal Emperor were taken aback, but they also quickly nodded and said,

"Yes, Senior. Unless the Valley Master agrees, the moment we become the Wu Family's mounts, the Valley Master would likely kill us instantly."

"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that the Valley Master holds our lives in his hands."

Hearing this, Wu Hao couldn't help but fall into silence. In fact, what Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor and the others said was true. The current Myriad Dragon Valley was indeed established by the Dragon Emperor. Because of the Dragon Emperor's absolute strength, he held the Life-Source Souls of most True Dragons in Myriad Dragon Valley, including Azure Dragon Immortal Emperor and the others.

However, Wu Hao soon made a decision.

"According to you, as long as your Valley Master agrees, you will voluntarily become mounts for our Wu Family, right?"

"Yes, yes. As long as the Valley Master agrees, then we will agree."

The three dragons nodded repeatedly. This was their only way out—tossing the difficult problem to the Valley Master. If the Valley Master was capable, he would take them away.

If the Valley Master was not capable, they could only choose to become the Wu Family's mounts.

Although dignity was extremely important to them, life was even more important. If they died, everything would be gone.

Moreover, becoming mounts for the Wu Family didn't seem like such a disgraceful thing. After all, Wu Qilong's strength alone could easily defeat or even kill them, let alone Wu Hao, who was Wu Qilong's master.

Additionally, for some reason, a faint voice in their hearts told them that becoming mounts for the Wu Family was the greatest fortune they could ever receive in their lives.

As the three dragons nodded in agreement, Wu Hao quickly made a decision. In the next second, the three dragons witnessed a scene that shattered their worldview.

With a wave of his hand, Wu Hao released them from his Internal World. Then, he lightly swiped his hand through the space in front of him, and the space was sliced open as easily as tofu.

A whistling Astral Wind of Space blew out from the Spatial Rift. If anyone below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm were present, they would likely be injured by the astral wind in an instant. After all, it wasn't a spatial tunnel, just a Spatial Rift.

But Wu Hao showed no fear. He reached directly into the Spatial Rift, and after some fumbling, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Finally found you."

Wu Hao's words caused a faint sense of unease in the three dragons' hearts, along with an improbable suspicion. It was impossible for Wu Hao to stand in the Eastern Region, tear through space, and bring the Valley Master directly from Mount Buzhou in the Central Region, right?

But what if? After all, Wu Hao's power was not something they could presume to gauge.

Meanwhile, in Mount Buzhou, the Dragon Emperor was Cultivating peacefully when he felt a faint sense of unease. Helplessly, he opened his eyes.

"Strange. I am a Half-Step God. Why would I feel so restless for no reason? No one in the Upper Realm should be able to harm me."

In the next second, the space in front of the Dragon Emperor tore open, and a giant hand reached out. Before the Dragon Emperor could react, it grabbed him and pulled him into the Spatial Rift.

His massive body was nothing before the giant hand; he couldn't even offer any resistance. As the giant hand pulled the Dragon Emperor into the Spatial Rift, the rift slowly healed until it was restored to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened—except for the fact that the Dragon Emperor, who had been in his Immortal Cave, had vanished.
