Chapter 460: 460: Blowing...what? Can Asura be that weak?
"Lord...Lord?"
What if the Silver Dragon King goes up with them and they have ill intentions?
The expressions of the fierce beasts changed, showing some concern.
"If they really intend to harm me, hiding here won't help."
"Let's take a group photo together."
After saying this, a silver light flashed on the Silver Dragon King, and she transformed into a human form.
She wore a silver-white long dress, her hair, eyebrows...everything about her was silver.
Her beauty was unparalleled, even Qian Renxue, the most beautiful woman in the Douluo Continent, paled in comparison.
Gods are higher life forms, both in terms of aura and life level, naturally incomparable to ordinary people.
Without the "main character" present, the humanoid Silver Dragon King did not forget to wear clothes...
Upon careful thought, this is normal; it would be strange if she forgot.
With part of the Dragon God's memories, she should remember basic living necessities, right?
When the Silver Dragon King and her group appeared, the people...
Well, even with this group of "people," there was still no one present.
The Silver Dragon King, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji were all stunning beauties. The former's face was slightly pale, but it didn't affect her beauty.
As for the fierce beasts like Bear Lord, their human forms were somewhat half-hearted.
"Greetings, I am Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue..."
At this point, Gu Yue paused slightly, her willow-like eyebrows furrowing, feeling as if her name was missing something.
After a moment, as if sensing something, she continued, "Gu Yuena!"
"Gu Yuena greets everyone!"
"Bi Ji greets everyone..."
"Bear Lord..."
"Zi Ji..."
With the Silver Dragon King taking the lead to greet them, these fierce beasts didn't dare to put on airs and quickly greeted them in return.
"I am Zhongli, a leisurely person from the Heaven Dou Empire, greetings to all."
Zhongli's words made both his side and the fierce beasts twitch at the corners of their eyes.
Do they really not know your "background"?
"Xiao..."
Xiao wasn't good with words, but that didn't mean he disliked socializing.
"I am the Azahada Dragon King, bearing the power of the earth and memories..."
Hearing this, the fierce beasts looked at each other, instinctively turning to Gu Yuena.
Is this Azahada Dragon King really the "evil dragon"?
Bearing the power of the earth and memories?
If they remembered correctly, the one who bore the power of the earth was the Mountain Dragon King. Where did this Azahada Dragon King come from?
From Azahada, Gu Yuena only saw a giant "earth dragon" roaring at the sky, its momentum shaking heaven and earth.
Unlike a true evil dragon, there was no "resentment" on him, meaning her previous speculation was likely wrong. This Azahada Dragon King wasn't an evil dragon but a genuine "Guardian of the Earth"!
"The Dragon God's memories have no record of the Azahada Dragon King, how did he appear?"
No record doesn't mean non-existence. What if this was a backup plan by the Dragon God?
"Greetings, Azahada Dragon King!"
Gu Yuena cupped her hands and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
If it were the Elemental Dragon Kings, the earliest dragon kings, her status would be above theirs.
After all, they were the Dragon God's children, while she was a fragment of the Dragon God, naturally above the dragon kings.
But this Azahada Dragon King, after hearing her name and sensing her aura, showed no reaction at all!
If he were a dragon king under the Dragon God, he would never show such an attitude. He likely wasn't from the Dragon God's lineage!
"Hmm~"
Azahada nodded slightly, acknowledging the greeting.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he glanced at Gu Yuena and said, "Are you injured?"
"Your injuries seem somewhat familiar..."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat strange.
The fact that the Silver Dragon King was severely injured was a huge secret!
But anyone who saw the Silver Dragon King now could tell she was injured.
"Morax, I can't quite remember where her injuries come from."
Azahada scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
He felt he had encountered that aura before but couldn't remember where.
"She has been eroded by Asura's divine power. Without first cleansing the Asura divine power, her wounds are hard to heal."
Zhongli stroked his chin and spoke straightforwardly.
Reminded by Zhongli, Azahada suddenly understood!
"Oh, it's that fake god Asura. That guy had some issues with you before."
Azahada turned his head to Zhongli and said nonchalantly.
Morax's enemies were his enemies. Unfortunately, this Asura was somewhat cowardly, cutting off an arm to end the feud.
They weren't unreasonable. If the other party wanted to reform and was so cowardly, giving them a chance wasn't out of the question.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Gu Yuena and the others were quite colorful, especially Gu Yuena and Di Tian, who trembled repeatedly.
Wow, this guy had issues with Asura, so how did he survive until now?
Wait, had issues with Asura?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
The two exchanged glances, a glint of light in their eyes.
"Hmm..."
Zhongli nodded thoughtfully and continued, "He cut off an arm, so the past issues are over."
Di Tian, Gu Yuena: "..."
Are these two guys just gaslighting?
That's Asura, a god-king level powerhouse!
The reason the Silver Dragon King exists is because Asura split the Dragon God in two, creating the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King!
These two guys are bragging, saying Asura cut off an arm just to end the feud.
Haha...
The way they looked at Zhongli and Azahada had changed.
The others present were somewhat confused but felt something was off.
They didn't know the terror of Asura, but since Asura could injure the Silver Dragon King, the leader of all spirit beasts, he must be no ordinary figure.
"Hey..."
Azahada waved his paw and said, "I thought it was someone, turns out it's just him..."
Looking at the Life Lake, Azahada seemed to think of something and turned to Gu Yuena, "Silver Dragon, how about I make a deal with you?"
"???"
Gu Yuena withdrew her doubtful gaze, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Please, speak!"
Even if there's some bravado, their strength is not to be underestimated. It's best not to offend them for now.
Azahada pointed at the Life Lake and said, "Give me the energy of this Life Lake, and I'll help you expel Asura's divine power!"
Azahada was quite interested in the energy of the Life Lake. In the past, he wouldn't have cared for such energy.
But the earth's energy in the Douluo Continent was too weak. Absorbing it carelessly could cause the continent to collapse.
That's not what Azahada wanted.
The energy of the Life Lake was different. Losing this energy wouldn't affect the entire Douluo Continent, which is why Azahada was so keen on it.
At this moment, the fierce beasts fell into deep thought.

Chapter 461: Great Demons Fear, Demon Gods Flee
When it came to healing, Azahada wasn't particularly skilled, but removing the Asura God's divine power was an easy task for him.
As long as the Asura God's divine power was completely removed from the Silver Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King's injuries would heal quickly thanks to her strength.
This was also an indirect way of treating Gu Yuena's injuries.
After hearing Azahada's words, all the soul beasts, including Gu Yuena, fell into deep thought.
Because of the Asura God's divine power, Gu Yuena had been in a severely injured state and could only rely on life energy to counteract the effects of the Asura God's power.
However, the effect of life energy was minimal. Day after day, year after year, it took tens of thousands of years of effort to remove just a portion of the Asura God's divine power.
If they could truly receive external help to remove the Asura God's divine power, it would be a very good thing for both Gu Yuena and the soul beasts.
The energy in the Lake of Life was originally meant to heal Gu Yuena's injuries. If it could be exchanged for the immediate removal of the Asura God's divine power, they would actually be the ones benefiting.
How much time could this save!
Moreover, with Azahada's strength as a Dragon King, he could easily take the Lake of Life by force.
Yet he proposed a trade instead, offering to help Gu Yuena remove the Asura God's divine power in exchange for the energy of the Lake of Life.
The soul beasts exchanged glances and nodded. They had no objections to this.
After thinking for a while, Gu Yuena finally nodded as well.
"No problem. If you can help me expel the Asura God's divine power, I'm willing to offer the Lake of Life!"
Removing the Asura God's divine power as soon as possible would allow her to plan for the future sooner, save the sealed Golden Dragon King, and return to the God Realm…
Ditian looked at Gu Yuena, then at Azahada, his mouth slightly open.
"My Lord…"
He still couldn't fully trust Azahada. Could this palm-sized Dragon King really remove the Asura God's divine power?
It wasn't that he looked down on Azahada, but rather that he was wary of the Asura God.
Earlier, they had even put on a show, saying that the Asura God had severed his own arm…
Was that even possible?
After all, even the Dragon God, the Creator God, had been split in two by the Asura God!
Could these "people" possibly surpass the Dragon God?
Clearly, someone was lying!
Before Ditian could finish speaking, Gu Yuena waved her hand to cut him off.
She knew what Ditian was about to say, and that's why she stopped him.
At this point, did she have the strength to refuse?
Although Ditian was loyal, he hadn't considered this.
The consequences of refusing were something they couldn't afford to bear right now.
"No need to say more. My decision is final!"
Gu Yuena's face was expressionless, but a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
As if sensing Gu Yuena's "grief," Ditian was slightly stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the photo in his hand.
This was evidence of his earlier compromise…
In a daze, Ditian seemed to realize something.
If they didn't agree to the trade, would the other party just take it by force?
No one dared to gamble on that…
"Yes, my Lord!"
After saying this, Ditian stepped aside and fell silent.
He could understand Gu Yuena's feelings at this moment, she didn't trust the other party, yet she had to put on a show of trust.
But what could he do? He was just as desperate!
Azahada didn't care about these details. Seeing that Gu Yuena had agreed, he said, "Good, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal…"
Gu Yuena said distractedly. She had no idea what would happen next.
If things went wrong and attracted the attention of the Asura God, the soul beasts would truly have no hope left.
She could only hope that the other party wasn't just boasting. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this moment, everyone's thoughts were in turmoil, unsure of how Azahada would remove the Asura God's divine power.
Just then, an amber-colored light flowed over Azahada's body, and his "frail" figure quickly grew in size. In no time, he reached a height of ten meters…
To the soul beasts, what was ten meters?
Nothing!
Bear Lord's true form could reach forty to fifty meters in height. This mere ten-meter height was like a dwarf in Bear Lord's eyes.
Gradually, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more vivid…
Ten meters, twenty meters… fifty meters… one hundred meters… three hundred meters…
It wasn't just his height that was growing. Azahada's size had already surpassed the entire Lake of Life, and his height had reached a full five hundred meters.
Seeing this, Bear Lord's face turned pale, and his pupils contracted.
That little guy had instantly become someone he had to look up to?
"What a pity. I only have a fraction of my strength left, sigh—"
Azahada let out a sigh that rumbled like thunder across the heavens.
This wasn't his limit, as his strength had been severely weakened.
If his true form were here, that would truly be a moving mountain!
"???"
Azahada's lament caused the soul beasts' expressions to change!
This was what he called a fraction of his strength?
Good heavens, was he just showing off?
But they could hear the genuine regret in Azahada's voice. It was likely that he truly only had a fraction of his strength left.
Ditian's true form was also quite large, which was why he had been turned into a starship.
Seeing Azahada's size, Ditian was slightly stunned. The dragon's aura, as if formed from the power of the earth, and the mountain-like body…
At this moment, all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were trembling. Earlier, they had only heard his voice but hadn't seen "him," which was already terrifying enough.
Now, they could both hear his voice and see "him." Such a massive "dragon" truly gave them a fright.
Their heads were pressed to the ground, not daring to look directly at this dragon, yes, this dragon! Not a "respected being"…
Just then, Paimon seemed to remember something. As she flew, she said, "Oh right, when the Traveler and I saw Azahada's true form back then, it was truly shocking."
"Even among the Demon Gods, Azahada's size was among the largest."
Of course, Azahada wasn't a Demon God, but he was being compared to them.
"Demon Gods?"
This was a term unfamiliar to the soul beasts and Gu Yuena. They didn't understand what Demon Gods were.
Among all the Demon Gods, Azahada's size was among the largest??
Could it be that there were other Demon Gods in the world, but they were too narrow-minded to see them?
Don't say it, really don't!
What had happened on the ocean earlier was unclear to humans, but the powerful soul beasts had heard some rumors.
That existence was likely the so-called "Demon God"!
Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had already transformed into a dragon and had a cultivation of over nine hundred thousand years, had to move overnight to a remote corner to avoid any conflict with this being.
Xiao, who was shielding Zhongli, crossed his arms and said with a calm expression, "When the Dragon King Azahada fought alongside the Emperor, wherever they went, great demons would tremble in fear, and Demon Gods would flee, leaving behind unparalleled achievements."
After all, Azahada wasn't just the embodiment of solidity, he could also absorb other elemental powers…
Who wouldn't be scared of him?

Chapter 462: 462: I Am the Dragon King Azahada, Now Summoning the Power of the Earth!
"Yes, yes, when I first met Azahada, I was really startled."
The girl with large sleeves blinked her eyes, trying to recall the scene of their first meeting.
As if remembering something, the girl with large sleeves smiled and said calmly, "Who would have thought that this big guy's nature is actually extremely kind."
After spending more time with Azahada, Gui Zhong realized that his nature is pure and kind, caring for every plant and every citizen of Liyue.
Due to his massive size, every move he made would cause the earth to tremble, so Azahada was often lonely.
Mostly, he was accompanied by Zhongli and the other immortals. Ordinary people who saw him were mostly filled with fear.
"Lord Chen is absolutely right!"
"Once, the people of Liyue dug and over-cultivated recklessly, damaging the ley lines and disturbing his slumber, and yet..."
"Azahada never took their lives. He has a great love in his heart, embracing all of Liyue..."
Yes, but only Liyue.
"Paimon knows about this! It was Paimon and the Traveler who investigated this matter back then!"
Paimon put her hands on her hips and said with confidence.
As if remembering something, Paimon continued, "Oh, and there's Zhongli too!"
"Morax, it's time to fulfill all your wishes!"
Paimon imitated Azahada and roared at Zhongli, which made everyone twitch at the corners of their eyes.
Azahada even rolled his eyes.
Why is this little guy so annoying?
"Heavenly Phenomenon, Mountains and Seas Take Form~"
"I am Azahada, the Dragon King, born of elemental crystallization, now summoning the power of the earth to expel evil, the remnants of the wicked!"
As Azahada's voice fell, the entire earth began to tremble, and countless amber energies emerged from beneath the ground. These energies gathered together, cheering and jumping for joy, as if they had seen their leader, their god.
At this moment, the beasts were stunned and instinctively retreated to the side. Such a majestic power... he... this Azahada, the Dragon King, could actually summon it at will!
"A first-level god, at least a first-level god!"
If you're not a god, you wouldn't know how fierce Azahada's move was. After becoming a god, especially one of the same attributes, it feels like the sky is falling!
This is exactly how Gu Yuena feels at this moment. As the Silver Dragon King, she controls nine elements, and the power of the earth is naturally among them.
At the same time, she is also a peak first-level god. Even though she is severely injured, summoning these energies is effortless for her.
But when Azahada summoned the power of the earth, Gu Yuena felt as if the sky had fallen!
The power of the earth actually disconnected from her at this moment, losing contact!
You must know, although her level is only peak first-level god, her divine core is a true god king!
To "steal" the authority of the earth in front of a god king's level, how fierce must he be?
Wait, if she remembers correctly, this is only a fraction of his power. If he were at full strength, wouldn't he just rub the Dragon God on the ground?
"What they said before is likely..."
"Likely true!"
Even if Gu Yuena doesn't want to admit it, she has to admit Azahada's strength!
With such a strong man plus a Zhongli, it's not impossible for the Asura God to back down.
As Azahada summoned, the amber energy gathered to a certain extent and then floated towards Gu Yuena.
When the heavy earth energy came into contact with the sword wound on Gu Yuena's front, it melted like snow.
Seeing this...
"Hmph~"
Azahada snorted coldly, stepped on the ground with his right arm, and an even more terrifying amber energy appeared, floating towards Gu Yuena~
The crimson energy on the sword wound began to riot, but before they could resist, they were instantly enveloped and separated from Gu Yuena's wound.
"Merely the power of a false god, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Azahada's right claw slightly clenched, and the amber energy enveloping the Asura God's power instantly burst out with a brilliant light.
"Boom~"
"Hmph, effortless!"
Azahada curled his lips and muttered.
The next moment, his body shrank, quickly returning to the size of a palm.
Everyone: "..."
Was it really effortless?
Then why did you shrink so quickly?
Wait, he... he really removed the Asura God's power!!!
He really did it!!
The beasts' jaws almost hit the ground, showing just how shocked they were.
The Asura God's power that had plagued their master for tens of thousands of years was so easily removed, without any resistance?
The beasts swallowed their saliva, wanting to say something, but it was stuck in their throats.
Gu Yuena was equally shocked. The other party wasn't boasting, he really was that powerful.
Even at her peak, she couldn't do what he did with only a fraction of his power.
"Terrifying!"
Subconsciously, Gu Yuena shouted the classic line.
At the same time, the Asura God, who had just finished fooling the God of Speed and returned to his mansion, was slightly stunned and a bit surprised.
He quickly checked, and this check was a shock!
"Forget it, let him (her) be."
Anyway, he, the Asura God, will retire soon, and what happens next has nothing to do with him.
Besides, he really can't do anything about those guys!
If not, should he go and deliver himself?
"The Silver Dragon King will recover soon, and with just her, she can't cause much trouble."
Even at her peak, the Asura God was not afraid of the Silver Dragon King. he feared it was not the Silver Dragon King, but the "people" helping her!
As if thinking of something, the Asura God thought to himself, "Forget it, even Destruction has seen through it, why should I still be so stubborn?"
"Power is intoxicating, corrupting the mind, even gods are no exception, but when it's time to let go, let go."
"Dragon God, I'm afraid I can't complete your commission, it's up to Tang San to see if he's hypocritical enough..."
The Asura God sighed and stopped paying attention. Now, he only hopes that Tang San grows up quickly and then runs away.
By the shore of the Lake of Life, the turbulent waters finally calmed down after some time.
"Thank you, Azahada, the Dragon King, for your help. You may take all the energy in this Lake of Life!"
Gu Yuena cupped her hands towards Azahada and said seriously.
Regardless of how this Azahada, the Dragon King, came to be, at least he is a dragon and he helped her!
It's not a problem to give him these energies.
With such a strong dragon, those people will also be cautious!
What seems like a transaction is actually a contract for Azahada.
As a partner and brother of the God of Contracts, he takes the path of contracts very seriously.
Once the contract is made, if Gu Yuena goes back on her word...
He wouldn't mind using even more terrifying power to suppress Gu Yuena here!
"Hmm~ Your credibility is quite good."
Azahada nodded and praised.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he continued, "You should take photos quickly, as a memento. Once I take the energy, such a beautiful background will be gone."
Gu Yuena and the beasts: "..."
