Dragon Tamer - Chapter 989

Chapter 989: Chapter 993: Divine Pattern Mo Shou Chapter 989: Chapter 993: Divine Pattern Mo Shou “It seems there is a puzzle inscribed on this stone door. We need to find the corresponding riddle to open it,” He Haohan said.

Zhu Minglang looked at Chang Gui, who hurriedly said, “This mechanism is constantly changing; I have no idea what the riddle is.”

“Is it possible to forcibly destroy it?” Bei Yaoying asked.

“How could the Mo Family not have considered this? This stone door is underwater. Not to mention its thickness, just the pressure of deep water is something ordinary deities cannot shake…” Chang Gui was speaking incessantly.

The Nuwa Dragon swam forward. She stretched out her hands, one to the left, one to the right, and at the same time, two beautiful handprints appeared on the massive stone door at the bottom of the pool.

“Na ya!” the Nuwa Dragon murmured softly. Her hands erupted with an even more astonishing strength. The enormously thick stone door began to budge and then, bit by bit, was pried open, revealing a large gap.

The dwarf Chang Gui’s voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally, he swallowed hard.

As long as your martial arts are strong, intelligence isn’t needed!

They forcefully broke through the stone door’s mechanism and immediately squeezed inside.

“How strange, the stone door opened at the bottom, but the water from the pool didn’t flood in. It’s as if there’s another layer of air door blocking the water,” said a shield-bearing woman from the Artifact God Sect.

“If Mo Shou doesn’t harm others, indeed, he’s a genius!” He Haohan sighed.

Following the stone door downward, the subterranean space suddenly opened up wide, and it wasn’t as dark as imagined. The surrounding quartz and stalactites emitted a very gentle glow, making the entire Earth Pavilion resemble dusk, neither too dazzling to the eyes nor too gloomy and eerie.

The vastly expansive underground cavern was divided into more than a dozen layers, each separated by hollowed rock slabs. The spiral staircases of stalactites ran through these broad layers, and one after another, magnificent palaces, royal halls, crystal platforms, wooden wheels, and cogged belts were embedded within this multilayered pavilion world!

This Earth Pavilion was ten times more intricate and radiant than the Sky Pavilion, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship, a mechanical kingdom created entirely by crafters!

Zhu Minglang was astounded by the scene before him.

How much leisure and effort must someone have to create such an Earth Pavilion here?

“I am delighted to have visitors here. If you can survive, everything I own will be bestowed upon you!” At that moment, a person suddenly appeared before everyone.

He stood atop a stalactite statue, atop the statue’s head, speaking to Zhu Minglang and the others from a considerable distance. His tone was calm and natural, as if he was truly welcoming guests from afar.

Zhu Minglang looked over and saw that the man was bare-chested, wearing only a very simple pair of trousers. What stood out most was the complex divine patterns inscribed on his bare chest, so dense that they were indistinguishable, and yet there seemed to be some mysteries hidden within those patterns, whether art or some perplexing belief.

Divine patterns, bare chest, and that tone, simultaneously playing with lives yet speaking with serene loftiness…

Was this not the man with divine patterns who had played the role of heaven beneath Dragon Gate Heavenly Peak?

Back then, he alone trapped tens of thousands of Divine Chosen in the mountain foothills and spoke of a sandbox theory of ants.

He said that as a child, he liked to draw mazes in the sand and then lure ants with sugar to his maze, finding amusement in watching how the ants would find their way out.

That was a pure form of pleasure.

“Once you understand this pleasure, you’ll understand why Heaven has established so many Heaven and Earth Laws.”

“You’ll also understand why Heaven, on one hand, sends down tribulations to stop mortals from defying Heaven through cultivation, and on the other hand, deliberately conceals pathways to ascension in the world, allowing certain diligent, hardworking, and persistent people to become deities…”

Zhu Minglang vaguely remembered the words of this man, who played the role of heaven. In the eyes of those who were unable to climb upwards and were eliminated, he indeed was Heaven!

Zhu Minglang took a deep breath.

It was Mo Shou!

This man with the Divine Patterns was Mo Shou!

Within the Dragon Gate, Zhu Minglang had only had some minor friction with him, but it hadn’t escalated to a life-and-death struggle. Yet unexpectedly, here Zhu Minglang was, encountering the same man again. Could this too be an arrangement of the mysterious forces of fate??

In the Dragon Gate, there could be only one victor!

He played the role of the heavens in the Dragon Gate and had evidently received a new divine title. His strength was no less than that of Hua Chou, except his way of dominion was different!

“So, there are old friends here,” said Mo Shou, his gaze falling upon them as a slow smile spread across his face. Already pleased, he seemed to grow even more interested.

“Who’s your friend? I, Bei Yaoying, carry out the orders of the Sect Master, here to fight against you, the Demon Lord!” Bei Yaoying said with disdain.

“I wasn’t speaking to you, you insignificant nobody. In this Tian Ji Divine Area, the only person I would call an old friend is the Tian Ji God himself. What do you think you are?” Mo Shou laughed arrogantly.

After uttering these words, Mo Shou pointed to Zhu Minglang.

He recognized Zhu Minglang, even if they had only exchanged a few casual words on a mountaintop. Mo Shou still remembered Zhu Minglang and clearly knew that Zhu Minglang was one of the few Divine Chosen who had reached the peak!

Bei Yaoying was so angered that he was lost for words.

However, the people of the Artifact God Sect and the He siblings were quite astonished; they hadn’t expected the Zhu Minglang they were traveling with to be a personage. In Mo Shou’s eyes, this Zhu Minglang was apparently in the same league as the Tian Ji God himself!

The dwarf Chang Gui even poked his head out from a nearby cave, looking at Zhu Minglang’s silhouette with some incredulity.

Such a formidable deity this one must be; had he missed something important?

“I have come to reclaim my Xuanlong. Return it to me, and we can talk about old ties,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You came for the Xuanlong, how unlucky. Anything here I can give to you, except for the Xuanlong; it is my binding child, used to stabilize my Status of God Monarch, with it laying the foundation for God Monarch, stepping into the Realm of the God King is just a matter of time,” Mo Shou explained.

“God… God Monarch, has this guy already become a God Monarch???” The people from the Artifact God Sect went pale upon hearing this.

They were in the mechanism kingdom of a God Monarch, after all. Perhaps Mo Shou himself did not possess extremely terrifying combat abilities, but escaping from his Divine Skills and mechanisms was an extremely difficult feat, akin to confronting a God Monarch!

Zhu Minglang’s heart sank.

Stabilize God Monarch…
So Mo Shou had only recently stepped into the realm of God Monarch.

He was a Quasi Divine Monarch.

Now, Zhu Minglang’s ability to fight a Quasi Divine Monarch was very limited; he must directly engage in a tough battle through Sword Awakening!

The Nuwa Dragon’s Cultivation Base was also fluctuating around the God principal level; could stand on her own, but it wasn’t enough…
Cai You also had just enough strength to fight reluctantly, but she was not yet Quasi God Monarch level and could only assist from the side.

Fortunately, the Sword Spirit Dragon’s Cultivation Base had recently stabilized at the Peak God-lord Level, otherwise today they wouldn’t have even a chance to fight.
