Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Then he used the Summoning God Technique on himself again.

He summoned himself once more.

In the next moment, a gigantic golden headless apparition, condensed from Spiritual Qi, enveloped Zhang Ze. The ancient Flying Sword fell into the apparition's hands, while the other three Spirit Swords floated behind it, also growing larger through Divine Techniques.

The imitation of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect began to form, and Zhang Ze thrust forward with a forty-meter Flying Sword.

Dragon Ascending!

"Li, do you have a form more suitable for combat?" Yimu, carrying Li and floating in the distance, suddenly asked.

Li thought for a moment. After sifting through all the Magical Artifacts and toys she had consumed, she finally remembered one.

"I do, but why?" Li was puzzled.

"We're going to help the Young Master." As soon as Yimu finished speaking, they transformed into a stream of Clear Qi and entered Li's brow.

Li felt herself connect with the Village and this Secret Realm, and part of the Village's power was stripped away once again.

Without delay, her round body became wrapped in a golden light, transforming her shape before flying towards the Village.

...

Wolong Marsh.

Standing at the edge of the marsh, Li Wenzhou looked up at the sky.

The giant turtle Zhu Luo also felt something and opened its eyes.

As dawn broke, the sky grew dense with clouds and mist, and the Spiritual Qi of the four directions trembled. As the Secret Realm was about to shatter, three spectral images appeared among the sea of clouds above Wolong Marsh.

"Village?" Zhu Luo's voice was puzzled.

"Zhang Ze?" Li Yueqi exclaimed in surprise.

"What is that thing?" Li Wenzhou wondered as he looked at the third spectral image.

...

Morning, Rising Dragon City.

Mr. Su got up early, squatting at his courtyard gate while puffing on a dry pipe.

He was in a foul mood yesterday, last night, and this morning.

Because yesterday, when he misspoke at the teahouse while discussing the book "Human Emperor Dragon Slayer," he accidentally said that the Human Emperor beheaded himself with the Night Battle Eight Directions Concealed Blade Technique.

Although he managed to cover it up at that time, he couldn't come up with anything else afterward.

Today, he was at a complete loss for what to talk about, and as he extinguished the cigarette butt, he slapped himself, feeling like digging a hole for himself.

Of course, the audience below was unaware of the turmoil in him; they thought there was more excitement to come, so they left satisfied yesterday.

But Mr. Su knew very well that he had nothing more to offer, not even a bad act.

The incident had already spread yesterday, and today there would certainly be more people, maybe even his peers coming to watch him make a fool of himself.

"Rivals are foes... these bastards..."

"What should I talk about today?"

As he awaited his fate with no plan, he suddenly heard Brother Liu, who lived across from him, gasp.

"Yikes!"

The last time Liu gasped like that was when he discovered his wife cheating.

Following the principle of feeling better if someone else is worse off, Mr. Su looked over at Liu, who was standing against the wall by Liu Family's courtyard gate.

Then he followed Liu's gaze toward the east.

He gasped too.

"Yikes!"

However, after gasping, he was filled with joy.

"I don't need to make up anything. It's being illustrated right in the sky! I'm saved!"

"Heaven is practically feeding me with a spoon, blessed by Ancestral Master!" Mr. Su slapped his leg, murmuring to himself.

After thanking the Ancestral Master, he kept muttering things like, "Heaven, I love you," "I've made it," "I'm the founder of the new book 'Beheading the Evil Dragon with the Headless Human Emperor'" and other odd remarks.

He ran back to the house in a hurry, slapped his still-sleeping wife awake, "Wife, come out and see the Immortal!"

Without paying heed to his wife's angry scolding, he grabbed the pen and paper from the table and rushed out. Seeing the sky's spectacle hadn't disappeared, he began writing immediately.

[Continuing from the previous installment, the evil dragon slain by the Human Emperor was a phantom, and the dragon head he severed transformed into a one-eyed evil dragon...]

[The headless Human Emperor turned his blade into a sword, ascended the clouds, and single-handedly captured that one-eyed evil dragon...]

[However, that evil dragon was born of the primordial chaos of the opened heavens and earth, how could it easily perish...]

[Black mist swallowed the sky, the heavens crumbled, the land shattered, myriad avenues fragmented as the Human Emperor's sword fell empty...]

"What is that thing beside the Human Emperor? Never mind, I'll improvise it later..."

[The Human Emperor's close friend, the Horned Dragon Man, saw the evil dragon preparing to flee and instantly transformed into a golden light to aid the Human Emperor, shattering void with one claw...]

This scene was being played out in various places across Rising Dragon City.

The man eating fried dough sticks and soybean milk stopped chewing, his mouth agape towards the east.

The old man selling breakfast spilled soy milk all over the ground but paid it no mind.

Two ruffians, previously tussling over some silver coins and words, ceased their fight and found a step to sit on, leaning together to watch the eastern sky.

Those awake roused those still in bed; once a family was awake, they went to wake the neighbors.

Because of the sky's phenomenon, everyone in Rising Dragon City got up early.

Non-flying cultivators leaped onto walls and rooftops, while those who could flew into the air. The more clever ones headed towards Wolong Marsh.

Beast Taming Sect cultivator Qin Ping was standing on a rooftop of a pavilion.

However, his gaze wasn't fixed on the headless figure or evil dragon, but on the dragon man clad in golden armor.

He had seen that thing before. On a previous visit to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, he had brought his brother a toy set.

Inside was a toy called Combat Tyrannosaurus... identical to the thing in the sky.

It had horns like a bull, a rhino horn on the nose, a silver mask covering the forehead, a body-fitting suit of golden heavy armor, massive golden claw arm armor striking in all directions, and wings like a shield at the back.

"So it wasn't just a toy? You, did you record it?"

"Recorded it."

In the sky, a giant eagle was clutching a small walnut-sized recorder, capturing the sky's phenomenon from a perfect angle.

...

Inside the Secret Realm.

Unaware of outside events, Zhang Ze was still attempting the Dragon Ascending...
