Chapter 480: Chapter 46: Star Signs in the Night
Just as the soldiers of the Dragon War Empire and the folks from the Divine Court were being both polite yet wary of each other within the Dragon Court.
An incongruous exclamation of marvel, totally out of place, was heard.
"Wow--this is truly remarkable," someone was seen ungracefully tapping on the crystal stone tiles, occasionally peering down from the Dragon Court below.
Accompanying that person were Weiwei and Shalman.
The trio together, chattering nonstop like a group of sparrows.
In Yue Jinghua’s eyes, the Sky Dragon Court appeared very much like the time she visited Mingzhu Tower in Huaxia Country.
Except that the modern glass floor tiles were replaced by polished crystal stones, and there was no elevator for ascending or descending.
Upon seeing this part of the Dragon Court, the first thought that came to Yue Jinghua’s mind was not about secret passages, but rather, how wonderful it would be if she could own this Sky Dragon Palace.
It’s unknown how much effort Mo Kang had spent to build this spectacle, but Yue Jinghua was sure, if the Sky Dragon Palace could be put to good use, it would become the most unique tourist spot on the continent.
"The height is a bit terrifying though, do you two feel dizzy and weak in the knees?" Yue Jinghua discussed with the two women.
"Exactly, I can hardly stand, my legs are shaking so badly," Shalman, who felt dizzy when riding Black Beauty, now felt even more dizzy looking down through the crystal stone tiles. If not for Weiwei holding her, she really would have collapsed.
"I feel the same, could it be that we’ve developed acrophobia?" Oblivious to any embarrassment, Yue Jinghua suddenly felt a tight grip on her collar, and she was dragged far away by Jin Nuo.
"Shut up, Little Brother Yue, as a full-grown man, constantly speaking like a woman. Fear of heights, aren’t you embarrassed saying that? After the adventure is over, you’ll come back to Wo Hua Imperial City with me. I will train you in place of your parents, get you to attend a few classes with the Imperial Dragon Cavalry Group. Forget fear of heights, even jumping from ten thousand meters high, I guarantee you won’t frown," After a few days together, Jin Nuo had a very profound impression of Yue Jinghua.
Not to mention other things, just seeing the close, heated interactions between Yue Jinghua and Black Beauty assured him that, with a bit of training, Yue Jinghua could have a shot at becoming a member of the Dragon Rider Team.
The Imperial Dragon Rider Team, that’s the utmost honor for a Dark Practitioner, no way that kid could refuse.
Jin Nuo felt totally confident, believing that if Yue Jinghua knew he had a chance to join the Dragon Rider Team, he would definitely beg tearfully for a recommendation from him.
Imagining the look on the other party’s face at that moment, Jin Nuo was internally bursting with joy.
He decided that after the adventure was over, he would recommend Yue Jinghua to join the Dragon Rider Team, to participate in the upcoming Dragon Pulling Test held in the Imperial City.
On the other side, Feng Buhui saw Yue Jinghua’s stifled look, desperately holding back laughter, thinking it was just as well that Deputy Captain Ni Qianjun wasn’t here, otherwise he might have gotten the wrong idea.
When the jealous Deputy Captain met the hot-tempered Jin Nuo, who knew what kind of scene that would be.
Qin Dongting still had his usual coffin face, only there was a ripple of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
The sun finally sank into the sea of clouds, and when the last ray of sunset was also swallowed by the night, the entire Dragon Court plunged into darkness.
Surrounded by the Dragon Court, stars twinkled, as if countless candles were lit.
Even for Jin Nuo, who owned a Black Winged Dragon, he had never witnessed such a starry sky at such a high altitude.
Everyone was immersed in a chorus of exclamations, breathlessly admiring this ten-thousand-meter-high starry scene.
The noise of the day gradually faded, even the rushing stream within the Dragon Court seemed cleaner.
All the forces that had been resting all day were now fully energized.
Just then, someone unknown let out a startled cry.
Originally, in the east of Dragon Court, an extra bright spot appeared, just like a match suddenly struck in the darkness.
"It’s the Flint Star Rain."
In Canglong Continent, people are accustomed to calling meteors "Flint Stars".
The so-called Sui Star Rain refers to the rare natural sight of a meteor shower.
With the appearance of the first Sui Star, more and more Sui Stars swam through from all directions like schools of fish.
At this moment, from the exact east, west, south, and north, four Sui Stars came charging at an astonishing speed.
"My God, they are flying towards Dragon Court," the Dragon Court became turbulent in an instant.
Even the usually calm Zong Shaoqing and Jin Nuo couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat after witnessing this moment.
Though their Cultivation is exceptional, in front of the cosmic Star Power, it seems very insignificant.
When the four Sui Stars collided, the entire Dragon Court instantly lit up as bright as day.
Dragon Court shook violently like an enraged Jiao Dragon.
The immense Star Power almost made it impossible for people inside Dragon Court to stand firm; those with lesser Cultivation were overturned by Dark Power, rolling all over the ground.
Yue Jinghua immediately commanded everyone to lie down, and after a while, the Dark Power fluctuations from the four stars’ collision finally subsided.
"My God, what is that thing," Jin Nuo was the first to jump up and look up.
To his surprise, a gigantic crystal had appeared atop the previously empty Dragon Court.
Around the crystal, a Dark Array of both astonishing force and power was spontaneously forming.
It was an indescribably beautiful Dark Array; at its center was a dazzling Dark Power Crystal, which was also the Star Crystal Stone formed by the collision of the four stars.
Around the Dark Array, a large amount of Dark Power fluctuations hovered, making the shape of the whole array resemble a globe made of Dark Light.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle," countless spark-like starlight shot out from around that crystal.
As more and more starlight was emitted, the Sui Star Rain outside of Dragon Court had stopped, and the starry sky returned to tranquility.
As the Dark Array formed, everyone heard a sound like an ancient dragon roar in their ears.
The intense fluctuations of the Dragon Roar made everyone in Dragon Court feel pain in their eardrums, as if they were being torn in half.
Following the roaring sound, a Heavenly Sound emerged, drifting melodiously, and five pieces of glowing equipment like five celestial maidens descending from the heavens made a grand appearance.
First the Dragon Roar, then the Heavenly Sound, this sequential experience, like a dual baptism of hell and heaven, also affected the Dark Energy within everyone.
Just as everyone was still immersed in the astonishment of their first sight of the grand array, almost at the same time, three figures burst out from the direction of the Fiery Fire Path.
When the newcomers saw the Dark Array in the sky and the five pieces of flowing light equipment, they couldn’t help but shout ecstatically: "Heaven bless us, it’s the Dragon Slayer Holy Armor, five complete pieces of Dragon Slayer Holy Armor."
Almost simultaneously, as Yue Jinghua’s Gold Eater Worm poked its head out and saw the grand sight above Dragon Court, it quickly retracted its head and cried out in fear: "Oh, oh, I’m so scared, Liu Xing Xuan Fire Array."
