Chapter 312: The Power of The Righteous Path
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A fierce battle erupted in the middle of the sky. Thunder roared with the howling wind through the air.
Luckily, they were fighting thousands of meters above ground and that significantly reduced the level of destruction they caused.
They would’ve caused a lot of chaos to the ground just from the shock waves created as they clashed physically.
By then, the earth would shake and the mountains would fall, followed by the destruction of houses and buildings.
Sir System also chose to fight the bear in the sky.
Both the bear and the dragon chose to conserve their mana pool by opting against using their area of effect abilities. They were still trying their best to beat each other down with brute force.
If they were to use their magical abilities, it would cause multiple times more chaos than it already had.
Most of the time it was the green dragon initiating the attacks. The bear remained passive and defended its attack with the help of its silver armor.
However, those that were observing from a distance away didn’t feel like the green dragon was dominating the battle. Tom the black cat had told them that the green dragon would never succeed in breaking through the bear’s defense!
All the observers were either Pond-level or stronger, or they were accompanied by their seniors and supervisors.
That was why most of them accepted Tom’s theory as they were no stranger to such battles.
They clearly understood that the green dragon could no longer transform into a long sword and KO the bear with a single hit like how it previously did.
All it was doing was trying to identify the bear’s weak points using some basic tactics before dealing the final blow.
Would the spirit bear even give it the chance to do that, however?
The observers started to feel skeptical as they saw the battle unfold.
Vigilante A’s allies and those from the Truth Department were looking nervously as well.
Other than them, the sorghums and masters from the Buddhist Association and Taoist Alliance were also there to carry out praying rituals for the summoning of the Dragon God.
Tianjing Fawang brought along some monks as well and frowned as he was observing.
Mount Indigo Monastery’s Master Ma was also there along with his own crested priest and looked concerned.
After half a year, Master Ma’s aura started to feel unstable, like he was at the edge of breaking through to another level. As a local powerhouse, Master Ma was well respected by his peers as he was able to reach his level just by cultivating in an area with weaker vitality level compared to other places.
He was also respected because he would break through into becoming a Lake-level powerhouse produced locally, which at that time had yet to be achieved by anyone else.
Other than these few well-known people, the other observers were from smaller groups.
As the situation of China was delicate, the Truth Department always worked closely with District Special Affairs Liaison Office to control everything happening in China, while remaining effective at the grass-roots level of the society.
Most of the less reputable groups were only allowed to operate in a predetermined area and existed to help the local government.
Throughout the years, many of these powerhouses lived with constant restrictions imposed by the Truth Department, and started to feel oppressed and frustrated.
Some of them, even though they were not satisfied with the strict rules that the Truth Department set up, still chose to remain calm for the greater good.
However, those that were more aggressive didn’t care about it. All they knew was that it was wrong to restrict them from using their power!
Especially Vigilante A. For them, he was always working with the Truth Department and constantly patrolling in the sky. All he did was show his strength and get into things he shouldn’t have!
A lot of those powerhouses were hoping that with their cultivated ability, they could easily threaten a couple of rich men into giving them a share of their fortunes, and they could just sit around and get rich without doing anything else.
Unfortunately, with the presence of Vigilante A, they couldn’t do that, but they also couldn’t leave this safe country of theirs.
In the end, everyone just followed the business rules and worked hard for their pay.
Even though they still managed to live a good life, but how was that more comfortable than the previous method?
Work is never easy, and no one would ever say that working a good paying job was not tiring at all. Plus, a good paying job meant an equally difficult job, which also led to worse mental health…
At that moment, those that were kind and righteous were worrying for Vigilante A. The evil ones were indirectly gloating at him.
“The Venerable Dragon God is not the same as he was before. Sadly, he needs to retire after less than a year of dominance,” a man in rob sighed.
The others nodded in agreement.
“The sky has spoken and showed us all. I believe that the current Heavenly Axiom no longer wants to see the dominance of the Venerable Dragon God, so it has removed the power restriction of the spirit totem.
“There’s a saying that goes, the outstanding ones will always be those that fail first. From what I can see, his pride will start to diminish in a few days,” another person said with confidence.
They no longer cared if they had the qualification to judge Vigilante A.
All they knew was that Vigilante A could still beat the spirit bear with a single hit a couple of months ago, but now couldn’t even shave a single hair off the bear.
The differences before and after were significant. They believed that Vigilante A was also feeling depressed at that moment.
Just when they were going to continue their complaints, they sensed that some of the other observers were staring at them. They immediately stopped and never said anything worse.
“The Venerable Dragon God might need to take a step back if this continues,” someone said loudly, and everyone nodded again.
Even though most of them didn’t want to admit, they knew that the spirit bear had better endurance as it was a summoned totem. The longer the fight went, the more advantage it would gain.
The spirit bear had reached Inland-Sea level just by incarnating multiple times in its earlier days, and would only continue to improve through the battle.
Sky Eagle was there as well. He just reached Lake-level after training the path of godhood. He was furious as he heard what the people were saying.
Both the path of godhood and totem obtained their power from people’s faith to improve themselves.
The benefit of the path of godhood and being a totem was that it was easy to improve without the limits of resources, but it was also greatly restricted by their believers and couldn’t have their own thoughts.
For him, The Venerable Dragon God could not lose the battle.
He widened his eagle eyes and carefully investigated the bear to find its weakness.
After a while, he managed to identify the weakness of the bear and immediately said to Xue Ba the yellow dog.
Xue Ba was in his original Lake-level super dog form and was few hundred meters tall.
Sky Eagle said, “Brother Xue, we can only win this fight by using the Power of Righteous Path.”
Xue Ba heard him and nodded slowly with a serious look.
Both Brett the black dog; who were lying near Xue Ba’s feet; and the dragon carp inside the fish tank nodded.
Another one that nodded in agreement after hesitating was the white hamster, who was holding tightly onto two strands of dog hair on Xue Ba’s neck.
The only one who was still confused was the great green insect. It was hiding on the eagle’s head and snacking while watching the battle. She asked, “What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand anything.”
Sky Eagle coughed and replied with a serious tone, “Daqing, you are still a child. Just remain hidden in my head and don’t get involved.”
Chong Daqing was triggered by his words. She stood up and replied angrily with arms on her waist, “I am no longer a kid, and I too am a Lake-level powerhouse. The great azure dragon also commented that I was Skylake-level, which means I am strong too.
“That is why he always ask for my help when he needs something done. He still owes me a few meals you know.”
As she spoke she released an aura outwards and it showed that she really was better than an average Lake-level powerhouse.
The Sky Eagle was surprised by her ability. He nodded and said, “You really are an extraordinary person as someone who descended from the upper realm. The average Lake-level powerhouses are no match for you. I am sorry I underestimated you. I will tell you what the Power of Righteous Path is about…”
Daqing hastened him, “Hurry up then.”
“The righteous one will prevail, while the evil one will always be alone,” Sky Eagle replied.
Chong Daqing shook her head, “I don’t understand.”
Sky Eagle said, “You will understand once I demonstrate it.”
He opened his arms and shouted, “My fellow brothers, the Venerable Dragon God gave everything for the best of the world. He pushed himself to the limit and killed the Hydra Demon, before spending his energy and summoned the Celestial Dragon to stop the sky from falling!
“This white bear is a totem, yet he picked this time to start a fight and has no sense of helping the world! This bear is the manifestation of pure evil! Do you think this monster cares about being righteous?
“Are we going to sit here and wait while our Venerable One continues this battle alone?”
“Does this world belong only to the Venerable One?”
Those that were gloating stopped immediately and their faces turned red.
The eagle was right. They only focused on the trouble the Venerable Dragon God was in at that moment and completely forgotten the other difficult tasks that he successfully carried out previously.
Those things that he accomplished; killing a demon, summoning a dragon, and flying to the moon; were easy to talk about, but how easy was it for him to complete them?
Did he ever accomplish something everyone could easily do?
If they were put into his shoes, they would never achieve any of the things he did. They would be lucky to be able to escape from this bear because they would have no chance against it…
“Sky Eagle, you are right. I will not let the Venerable One fight this war alone, even if it means putting my reputation on the line,” Tianjing Fawang was the first to reply to Sky Eagle’s request.
He always adored Vigilante A as he always upheld justice. That was the reason why he gave the manuscript for the Four Symbols Sealing Formation to him the first time they met.
Someone like the Venerable One was a person that the Buddhist Association idolized, as their god always taught about doing the right thing.
The others that were righteous also agreed to help eliminate their common enemy.
Previously, it was the Venerable One who defeated the spirit bear and stopped it from destroying the Cloud Fog City.
The land that Cloud Fog City was built on was originally part of China hundreds of years ago.
Unfortunately, through the years everyone else regardless of their skin color was allowed to live peacefully in the wild, but no one from China was given the permission to stay. They refused to acknowledge the people from China even if they offered to pay taxes, and they were killed if they chose to remain in the vicinity!
After hundreds of years, some people took the land as part of Russia. They even looked at the Venerable Dragon God as the intruder.
The way they disregarded the history angered everyone.
They looked at everything at its predetermined state, yet they completely forgot how the rules came about. In the new era, the strongest one had the power to reset the rules.
The Venerable Dragon God was doing the best for the people of China by suppressing the spirit bear, which was undoubtedly a righteous act!
The spirit bear could not care less about the situation of the world and intimidated the Venerable Dragon God who was worn out, and that was absolutely disgusting!
Were they going to sit around and do nothing?
Could they still call themselves humans?
