583 The Half-celestials Panicked, Who Is It?

“Was your parents’ death an accident or man-made?”

This question echoed in Geer’s mind. He lowered his head and started to think.

On the side, Chu Feng increased his control over the hexagram array. Finding the array’s operation speed as slow as flowing water, he used his vast divine strength to forcibly increase the speed of the array’s operation by a large margin.

The five elders beside the array had already recovered from the state of having their power drawn away, and they barely managed to retain some of the half-celestial power in their bodies.

At this moment, when they felt the sudden increase in the array’s absorption speed, their expressions changed drastically.

“This… This is impossible!”

“What’s going on? Why did the array suddenly become several times stronger? Ten times stronger… No, it’s nearly a hundred times stronger!”

“A hundred times? No, it’s not just that!”

“If things go on like this, we won’t be able to hold on for more than a few minutes even if we exhaust all our remaining strength, let alone in the space-time galaxy where the flow of time is different!”

“Dammit! What do we do? What do we do?”

“Leader, you’re the grand elder and leader of the dragon race’s half-celestial Elder Council. Tell us what we should do to survive!”

“Everyone, don’t panic. Let’s calm down and organize our thoughts…”

“We’re about to die, so what’s there to be calm about? I’m not that lunatic, Half-celestial Baojing!”

“…”

The magnificent hall was instantly filled with the jumbled words of the five white-robed elders. It was as noisy as a wet market in the mortal world.

“Buzz…” At this moment, a great disturbance suddenly came from the array. The flickering magical light looked as if it would suddenly stop beating like the hearts of some dragons in the next second.

At this moment, other than the strongest and most senior half-celestial old dragon elder who was also the leader, the other four white-robed men, whose psychological endurance and strength were slightly weaker, all had pale faces and sweat pouring down their foreheads.

They were panicking and trembling uncontrollably. At this point, they no longer cared about the celestial decree that they had previously attached great importance to. If they couldn’t get through the tribulation before them, discussing the future would only be a ridiculous joke!

The four white-robed half-celestials looked at the flashing hexagram array in fear. They felt as if they could hear the footsteps of the Grim Reaper and “see” the guillotine above their heads!

At this moment, the fear in their hearts had almost completely overwhelmed their rationality.

The half-celestial old dragon’s four colleagues clung to him and surrounded him in the middle as they filled his ears and mind with wails like, “I don’t want to die”, “think of something”, and “I wouldn’t have come if I knew this would happen”!

In fact, the old elder was also panicking. However, compared to the other panicking dragons, he still retained his rationality.

In that instant, he thought about many things.

He thought of the celestial from the upper realm, Fantasia, who came from the dragon continent but simply took whatever he wanted. He thought of the gradually declining dragon race and the legend of the Dragon God from tens of millions of years ago. In the end, he sighed in regret.

“Boom!” Not far away, a deafening boom came. As time passed, the commotion caused by the upper realm’s celestial array grew bigger and bigger.

The forbidden land of the dragon race and the entire dragon continent must be in chaos now. The leader’s eyes darkened at the thought of this.

“In the end, we can’t stall any longer…”

“Argh! Leader, save me!” A cry for help was heard. The old leader hurriedly raised his hand to cast a half-celestial spell, but he had no power left in his body.

He forcefully tried to perform the spell, but in the next second, he spat out a mouthful of dark-red dragon blood!

“…Ah!” The scream came to an abrupt end as a white-robe dragon fell into the space-time rift and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, the other three elders around the leader had ugly expressions.

Who would be the next to die?

“Boom! Boom! …Buzz!” The deafening explosions sounded as if the hexagram array had realized that there was a bug in its operation, and it wanted to use its internal logic to eliminate the “mistake” that shouldn’t have appeared.

However, no matter if it boomed or buzzed, the array was still steadily operated by that invisible and extremely powerful giant hand in the dark!

It was just like a beating heart or a ticking clock… No dragon could interfere or stop its motion.

The grand elder looked at the dragon cub who was deep in thought and realized that in just a short while, the latter’s body had already expanded several times in size and was still growing at a terrifying speed!

As he watched, he noticed where the other party’s gaze landed. The light of the array lit up and then dimmed. As light and shadow intertwined, there seemed to be a human figure in the air!

At the same time, the illusory figure turned around and suddenly spoke, “Oh, you saw me?”

“Who is it?!” As soon as he finished speaking, the dragons in the hall narrowed their eyes and took a few steps back from the direction of the sound. In shock, several of them fell to the ground.

“Who’s talking?” The three weakest white-robed half-celestials were shocked, terrified, and even confused.

Chu Feng, Geer, and the old elder looked at each other, and when their eyes met, the elder seemed to suddenly understand everything.

Of course, the calmest person in the room was the only human. The five dragons could be divided into three levels based on their confusion.

The three white-robed elders were at the bottom level. They couldn’t see the illusionary figure beside Geer, and the reason why they were so shocked was that a “third party” had actually appeared at the scene?!

Then there was Geer and the old elder. Their knowledge varied, and the important aspects they knew did not overlap completely. Their confusion level was probably about the same.

“Buzz!”

The array light flashed again and the old elder stroked his long beard with a thoughtful expression. He remained unmoved despite his colleagues’ clamoring.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled, “You saw me.”

The clear voice resounded in the golden palace hall. The speaker’s tone was very certain.

After saying that, he didn’t deliberately keep them in suspense. With a snap of his fingers, the speed of the hexagram array’s rotation rapidly decreased.

Immediately after, a handsome man with an elegant temperament appeared in front of the group of dragons.

Seeing another being in the array, all the dragons present except for Geer were shocked. Even the old elder who had just seen the shadow and was mentally prepared was no exception!

The dragons were shocked, “A… A human… A celestial!”

Then, they were puzzled again, “Could it be that a celestial from a reclusive family has appeared?!”

“No, he doesn’t have the jade token of an aristocratic family on his waist. Although this young man has an extraordinary bearing, his clothes are not silk nor embroidered…”

“How did a celestial enter the hexagram array? Could this be the reason for the frequent mistakes in the array?”

“Strange, this person doesn’t look like a mortal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there’s an inexplicable sense of ordinariness… The more I look at him, the more I feel that he’s unfathomable!”

Amidst the shock, fear, and confusion, another dragon roar was heard. Chu Feng raised his hand and patted Geer’s head, responding to the dragon’s cry of “boss”.
