Radiant clouds filled the sky as Saintly Dragon's Domain descended, drawing the attention of all the mystical dragons in Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.
Many revered dragons and dragon emperors were also watching closely.
As Wu Jun stepped out with confidence, it seemed like the sky itself was paying homage to his achievement. Immortal essence filled the air, tumbling off in clouds of immortal qi that clung to the Primordial Immortal Dragon.
Nearest to him, Wu Yu saw everything clearly.
Wu Jun's Primordial Immortal Dragon real body no longer exerted any intimidation on Wu Yu, but in this instant, Wu Jun's intimidative aura suddenly re-emerged, multiplying to tenfold of its previous condition.
This was a revolutionary change. A fundamental change in the scale of one's lifespan, just like a mortal ascending.
In terms of lifespan, immortal emperors had eternal life, and their power underwent a fundamental change. It was a strengthening for the forces of the mystical dragon tribe as a whole. After all, eternal immortal emperors would not die a natural death!
As long as no major conflict broke out, their eternal life would see the strength of the mystical dragon tribe continue to grow. Of course, producing an eternal immortal emperor was the difficult thing.
Either reach eternal immortal emperor status, or die like a glorified ant!
Such was the universal law in the sky palaces.
This was also why Sky Heart Dragon Emperor did not care much even if his grandchildren died. To him, grandchildren who were not eternal immortal emperors would fade away sooner or later.
But once one became an eternal immortal emperor, things were different.
Wu Jun had taken a step into the permanent ranks of the mystical dragon tribe.
He was as good as born anew.
Wu Yu was very envious of Wu Jun for being able to make such a transformation, and gaining the body of an immortal emperor.
He was happy for Wu Jun, and also looking forward to Wu Jun being able to bring him to Saintly Dragon's Domain to see Luo Pin. If he could take her away, it would be a double blessing.
The rise from immortal king to immortal emperor was a rise that everyone envied.
Mystical dragons gathered in the sky, marveling at the Saintly Dragon's Shower that they had not seen in a long while. To them, this was the manifestation of their dearest wish. It was a sight that had not been seen for all too long amongst the mystical dragons.
Baiyin Dragon King and Baiqin Dragon Queen were also among their number, beaming through glistening eyes at the Primordial Immortal Dragon that was Wu Jun, iridescent rays twinkling off his body.
They were close to Wu Jun, perhaps his closest relations in the entire Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm. Now that he had risen to strength as an eternal immortal emperor, he would become a revered dragon. This was great news for them.
"5000 years. In just 5000 years, he's come so far. That means that his metamorphosis must have something to do with Wu Yu. The boy is really our lucky mascot. I just hope that he and Luo Pin end well." Baiyin Dragon King sighed.
"Given his talents, becoming immortal emperor is only a matter of time. He'll probably get there even faster than we do, so don't you worry a bit." Baiqin Dragon Queen smiled fondly.
"Yeah. The kid's just a kid to us, but before we knew it he's already close on our heels. That level of improvement and talent is rare even throughout the sky palaces. Even the immortal emperor descendants don't compare!"
Baiyin Dragon King gushed over Wu Yu.
To him, Wu Yu was way beyond the likes of Mighty Miracle God's son and those others.
This was the reason why they had stood by Wu Yu all this while. Of course, an even bigger reason was that they also respected Luo Pin's wishes, and were fixed to his side.
Of course they would support their daughter's choice.
Their discussion was conducted amidst the cries of joy and awe from the mystical dragons gathered.
To become immortal emperor, to come into eternal life - the dream of all living things!
To reach immortal emperor was a one-in-a-million occurrence here in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.
The mystical dragons gathered in twos and threes, jealousy and admiration playing out equally on their faces. Becoming an immortal emperor seemed almost like a myth - such was its rarity - and yet a new one had been born right before their eyes.
Here in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, once one became an eternal immortal emperor, one would be crowned revered dragon.
Wu Jun had only been a dragon king, of which there were numerous in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.
But now as a revered dragon, he immediately made a huge leap in terms of rank. Besides the 9 Great Dragon Emperors, there were only a few dozen revered dragons. This surge in position was also a benefit of becoming an eternal immortal emperor.
Of course, most coveted of all was his invulnerability from old age and death.
The ultimate goal of all mystical dragons and immortals.
To avoid the crumble into dust in years to come, with no sign of one's existence left behind.
It was precisely eternity that gave their existence meaning, and now they would see the world anew.
If the Sky Heart Dragon Emperor was not a dragon emperor but only a dragon king, he would probably be furious at the death of a child.
But as a dragon emperor, he was indifferent one way or another, save the damage to his reputation.
At this moment, Sky Heart Dragon Emperor led Sky Will Dragon King, Sky Shadow Dragon Queen, and Sky Chariot Dragon King up close to witness Wu Jun's transformation.
Regardless of Sky Heart Dragon Emperor's feelings towards Wu Jun, his rise to eternal immortal emperor and revered dragon status could not be blocked.
Behind him, the faces of the three dragon king children were exquisite to behold.
They had sworn blind that Wu Jun's declaration of reaching eternal immortal emperorhood was a blatant lie meant to intimidate and sensationalize.
And now the truth was before their eyes. Their words had circulated all across Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, and now it was coming back to mock them.
And indeed, many were sniggering in their direction.
Their tension with Wu Jun was well-known throughout Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.
Therefore, they had scorned his declaration in order to humiliate him, as a puny dragon king. If he had failed, then Wu Jun's reputation would have been crushed for a long, long time.
However, he had succeeded.
It was a resounding slap to their faces, on the thick skin that they had worn so far.
But no matter how thick-skinned they were, right now they just wanted to bury themselves deep underground.
Now that Wu Jun had transformed, he was no longer on the same level as they were. They no longer dared to offend him, or even so much as speak loudly before him. Their embarrassment stung them painfully.
Sky Heart Dragon Emperor was silent, listening to the three dragon kings speaking quietly amongst themselves, derisive laughter and scoffs mixed in their conversation. His smile faded.
When they returned, Sky Heart Dragon Emperor would have to punish them soundly. Wu Jun was not like them - these lazy louts who snubbed cultivation and went around bullying others.
Superficial style over substance!
Seeing Wu Jun rise made Sky Heart Dragon Emperor yearn for the same from his family.
"When we get back, I will shut them away until they make a breakthrough!" Sky Heart Dragon Emperor vowed fervently to himself.
Back in the present, dragon emperors and revered dragons were also flying over from all over Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm.
The birth of a new eternal immortal emperor was a major event, the greatest thing to happen in many Yuan. Even the other dragon emperors would attend.
However, none of them spoke, instead watching Wu Jun's transformation silently.
It was a spectacle to behold, as they saw Wu Jun's lifespan and quality change before their very eyes.
The dragon emperors and revered dragons all smiled with satisfaction.
The mystical dragon tribe had not produced an immortal emperor for many years now, and it had been a shame that had hung over the tribe.
An eternal immortal emperor represented so much!
This was why they took Luo Pin's bloodline so seriously. Her bloodline held serious potential to rise to eternal immortal emperorhood, something close to the tribe's core concerns.
But before Luo Pin had matured, another Primordial Immortal Dragon Wu Jun had already made the transition.
Many mystical dragons were at the 9-heavens immortal king level, but the final crucial step to break past dragon king status was one that many never achieved in their lives.
Wu Jun's breakthrough amazed even the 9 Great Dragon Emperors!
