Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1473 The Limit

"Let's put it this way!" the big yellow dog said. "I'm not sure, but it's possible. Whether it's Tian Jue, Zhang Tianlin, or even the great emperors of the universe, there are members of the Twilight Hermit Society. It's just that the Tyrant and the Swordholder have never appeared, so they have never revealed their identities!"

“Of course, these all have corresponding ancient dragon sayings. I’ll teach you when you break through to the Venerable level!” the big yellow dog said.

"Alright, then you can continue!" Ye Qing said.

During their conversation, they had already climbed about ten steps, and the surrounding pressure was still within Ye Qing's physical limits.

"After that battle, a period of chaos ensued because of the high number of deaths. At that time, very few Emperors remained in the universe!" the big yellow dog said. "The entire universe also fell into a period of chaos as it fought for the position of the ruler of the universe, until the appearance of Apocalypse!"

"This guy already had some fame in the universe before the battle in the Chaotic Star Sea. He was Mirror's apprentice and participated in that battle. However, after the battle, because a large number of people died, the authority, the Seven Secrets of the Universe... were scattered. This bastard seems to have had good luck. He obtained three authority and one of the Seven Secrets of the Universe!"

"He spent many years in seclusion, and in one fell swoop broke through to the Great Emperor realm!" the big yellow dog said. "Then he appeared in the universe, forming alliances and sweeping away all the advanced civilizations in the universe, forcing them to submit, and finally forming the Heavenly Court we know today!"

"Judging from the system this guy promotes, he should be a surrenderist. That is to say, if another world invades again in the future, he will most likely lead the universe to surrender!" the big yellow dog said. "He will still be the master of this universe!"

Ye Qing asked in a daze, "What are the consequences of surrendering?"

The big yellow dog frowned and said, "The consequence of surrendering is most likely... this world will wither and become a wasteland! There will be no more space for living beings to survive!"

"Why?" Ye Qing asked.

"I don't know!" the big yellow dog said. "That's what they say, I guess!"

"Alright!" Ye Qing said, "I understand!"

The big yellow dog nodded and said, "Don't feel pressured. Perhaps the Tyrant has already appeared. He is most likely someone whose talent and ability are no less than yours. He may also have someone like me protecting him. In short, your main goal is to raise your strength to the level of a Great Emperor as much as possible. Don't worry about anything else! Only when you reach the level of a Great Emperor will all of this really come into play!"

"Actually, I didn't want to tell you so soon, but I was worried that you would think I had ulterior motives!" said the big yellow dog.

"You had ulterior motives all along!" Ye Qing said, pursing his lips.

The big yellow dog didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "Over the years, I have also accumulated a deep hatred with the Heavenly Court! But on this point, our goals are the same. From the moment you awakened the Chaos Dao Tree, you have been their target! Kid, from the moment Tian Ge took a liking to you, this was your fate, or perhaps even earlier!"

"Even earlier? What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked.

The big yellow dog said, "This isn't the first time you've heard about stealing luck, is it?"

Ye Qing nodded.

"I've always been hiding in the shadows. No one in this universe knows my true level. Back then, Tian Ge and I sensed that we couldn't succeed, and that Tian Ge would eventually die, along with the ancient star, which would also face certain death!" the big yellow dog said. "So we could only prepare for the next generation, using Tian Ge's death and the destruction of the ancient star to draw upon karma and seize the destiny of heaven and earth! Let it flow into the depths of the Milky Way!"

"And then?" Ye Qing asked.

"Then, you most likely got this luck! Haven't you noticed? The fact that you've been able to escape danger all this time is actually related to luck!" the big yellow dog said. "How so? Simply put, your luck is better than others!"

"If I were lucky enough, I wouldn't have repeatedly fallen into life-or-death situations, nor would each breakthrough have been so difficult!" Ye Qing said speechlessly.

"It was indeed difficult, but at least you made it through!" said the big yellow dog.

"What if you don't make it through one of those times?" Ye Qing asked.

"Then die!" the big yellow dog chuckled.

Ye Qing: "..."

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time!" Ye Qing said. "Right now, I need to climb these steps and then figure out a way to break through to the Venerable level! As for the rest... we'll talk about that later!"

The big yellow dog nodded and said, "Don't worry, you've only gone up a dozen levels so far. How do you feel?"

"It's alright now, I can withstand it entirely with my physical body!" Ye Qing said.

"Then let's speed things up!" said the big yellow dog.

Ye Qing nodded.

The two then continued on their way.

Upon reaching the twenty-sixth step, Ye Qing felt as if his physical body had reached its limit!

He had to use his true energy and special abilities to begin resisting.

When Ye Qing reached the seventieth step, he had no choice but to use the power of his divine treasures and the rhythm of the Great Dao.

Then, Ye Qing started walking forward again.

Some time passed, and he arrived at the eighty-sixth step!

Feeling the terrifying pressure around him, Ye Qing was covered in sweat. He felt as if his body was about to collapse. His whole body was tense, and all his strength was used to resist this energy.

"Have you reached your limit?" the big yellow dog asked.

Ye Qing let out a breath and nodded, saying, "Yes!"

"Why are you alright?" Ye Qing asked, looking at the big yellow dog.

"I told you, the cultivation technique I practice is special, capable of circumventing most of the rules and forces in the universe!" said the big yellow dog.

"So you were able to get up there?" Ye Qing asked.

"When did I say I couldn't go up?" The big yellow dog looked at Ye Qing speechlessly and asked, "But the path behind us, I can't get through it with my back to me!"
