Chapter 648: The Conspiracy of the Rakshasa God! Old Acquaintances Meet?_1
What does it feel like to have a Dragon King, once standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, kneeling before you?
Luo Yu now had a true experience of that.
No fear, no shock, and certainly no sense of superiority.
At this moment, his spirit entered another state.
He found the Dragon King's kneeling to be nothing unusual, just as it should be.
As if it was always meant to be this way.
He looked indifferently at the Temporal Dragon King prostrating before him.
"Rise."
"Understood."
The Temporal Dragon King responded, and a powerful surge erupted from its body.
The ground beneath it instantly shattered and collapsed.
The figure plummeted dozens of feet downward.
The highest point of its dragon form was level with Luo Yu's knees.
Tang Chen's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight, his mind screaming "holy shit."
This is insane.
This is just too insane.
What the heck could make such a terrifying big guy turn into a groveling dragon?
Bi Bidong also swallowed hard, struggling to calm herself.
Truly, "rise"?
Hulena's ruddy little mouth hadn't closed the entire time.
Luo Yu's actions constantly refreshed her understanding.
Just when she thought the man had reached his limits, she found he was yet far from it.
Just a few years apart.
To what extent had the man grown?
Hulena's eyes became misty.
Bossi felt an internal turmoil, like the rolling waves of the sea.
She had thought Luo Yu's refusal of the Sea God inheritance and killing of the Deepsea Devil Whale King were shocking enough.
Little did she expect that something even more awesome was waiting.
This soul beast, no, this divine beast, with a might far surpassing that of the Demonic Whale, has just knelt before her man?
In the past, Bossi was proud because of her unparalleled talent and the high status of the Great Priest of Sea God's Island.
But in the face of Luo Yu.
What she felt was a profound sense of powerlessness and admiration.
He was too incredible.
The three women watched with complex emotions in their eyes.
They had thought they knew him through and through.
Yet they discovered it was far from enough.
How many more secrets did this man have that they were not privy to?
"Respected Dragon God, have you sensed the sorrow of your people and come to save me?" the Temporal Dragon King humbly asked.
Gone was its previous indifference and arrogance.
Luo Yu said,
"I am not the Dragon God."
"But the aura on you, along with the recognition from the Six Great Dragon Kings, it can't be fake," the Temporal Dragon King protested urgently.
"Shh!"
Luo Yu hushed, then asked,
"Tell me, why are you trapped here?"
The air around vibrated as the Temporal Dragon King spoke through gritted teeth,
"It's all because of that despicable Rakshasa God!"
"Shameless sneak attacker."
"Ah!"
"I hate it, I hate that I can't personally annihilate that damned bastard."
Luo Yu frowned.
"Why did he trap you here?"
The Temporal Dragon King sensed Luo Yu's displeasure.
Its raging emotions subsided.
It swiftly replied,
"For tens of thousands of years, he has been whittling away my Divine Spirit, trying to refine me."
"That vile scoundrel surely has some scheme."
"Hahaha, but this good-for-nothing, after I've fallen into such a state, has spent tens of thousands of years and still hasn't succeeded in killing me, it's ludicrous."
"Hahaha."
The laughter caused the ground to tremble.
Once it subsided, Luo Yu asked, "Why didn't he refine you in the Divine Realm, but instead sealed you in the mortal realm?"
"I've thought about that question too," the Temporal Dragon King replied.
"He didn't use the Divine Artifact to kill me directly, but chose to slowly erode my Divine Spirit."
```
"They must want to keep my body for some unspeakable purpose," Luo Yu said.
"And they don't want other deities to know," he continued.
"That's why they would choose to do it secretly in the human realm," he reasoned.
Luo Yu's brows furrowed deeply.
He fell into deep thought.
The eight massive blood pits he had seen upon entering the Rakshasa Secret Realm, as well as that mysterious bone altar, flashed in his mind.
And now, he had discovered the imprisoned Temporal Dragon King.
What does the Rakshasa God intend to do by absorbing so much qi and blood energy?
Or rather, what or who is he trying to sacrifice?
"Do you know where that fellow Rakshasa God might be?" Luo Yu asked.
"I do not," came the reply.
The Temporal Dragon King said, "Only tens of thousands of years ago when they bound me was the true body of the one who descended."
"At other times, it was but a wisp of Divine Spirit that came to strengthen the formation and to refine my Divine Spirit with its activation," the Dragon King explained.
"Can you not sense the commotion outside?" Luo Yu inquired.
"I cannot perceive it," was the response.
"I will rescue you first," Luo Yu decided resolutely.
He held the Sea God's Trident in his left hand and the Nine Heavens Execution Sword in his right.
Determination flashed in his eyes.
He aimed at one of the chains and slashed towards it.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew, and the sound echoed like thunder.
Luo Yu was repulsed by the backlash.
His arm trembled and went numb.
But the chain was not damaged in the slightest.
He felt he might have been overconfident.
If the chain could bind a Dragon King, how could he possibly break it easily with a single stroke of his sword?
No.
Not even with all his might could he sever it.
Luo Yu was not so naive as to think that his strength could match that of a Dragon King.
Seeing that Luo Yu could not break the chain,
The Temporal Dragon King showed no surprise.
Because in his eyes,
He had already regarded Luo Yu as the reincarnation of the Dragon God.
Even though Luo Yu himself denied being the Dragon God, the fact that he could use the Dragon God Martial Soul and absorb the essence of the Six Great Dragon Kings had deeply stamped him with the mark of the Dragon Clan.
"Zals, exert all your Divine Power," Luo Yu said solemnly.
"I will assist you from the side and see if we have a chance to break this chain."
Luo Yu planned to go all out.
With his current strength, he could reach the God Rank level.
Together with the Temporal Dragon King's Power, there should still be a chance.
"Dragon God, I thank you for your kindness,"
"But it's better not to waste your energy," the Dragon King advised.
"Hmm?" Luo Yu frowned.
"Have you given up?" he asked.
The Temporal Dragon King spoke with a resounding voice:
"No, it's not about giving up; instead of wasting efforts, I've found something much more meaningful."
"What is it?" Luo Yu asked, puzzled.
"To tell you the truth, what you're attempting to do now fills me with a profound sense of awe," the Dragon King confessed.
"If your plan unfolds, it will dazzle the entire Divine Realm, and it will certainly be an unprecedented miracle," he exclaimed.
"Great, it is simply too great," he praised.
"Forgive me for not finding better words to describe you," he apologized.
The Temporal Dragon King continued his praises unabated.
"Seeing you attempt to merge the power of the Dragon God with that of the Six Great Dragon Kings, I am deeply shaken," he declared.
"Your subjects have a duty to follow in your footsteps," he asserted.
"I believe, once the task you seek to accomplish is realized, our clan will certainly achieve its revenge, and the Divine Realm will be utterly overturned under the foot of our Dragon Clan," he confidently stated.
The Temporal Dragon King's flattering words left Tang Chen momentarily stunned.
How did this guy go from being a proud Dragon King
To suddenly becoming a Dragon-licker, what the fuck.
Bi Bidong pondered thoughtfully,
Wondering what a man was doing to shock such a fearsome Dragon King to this extent.
It was truly beyond imagination.
"What is it that you want to do instead of trying to escape from here?" Luo Yu demanded.
"No, rather than leaving this place, I would much prefer to devote myself entirely to you!" the Temporal Dragon King declared forcefully.
