[As the embodiment of human desires that flow through this land, listen to my voice.]
Davey's clear voice echoed all around.
Crack!
Davey pierced the ground with the bone-crafted Magic Sword, and all it took was one clean motion.
"Listen to the rumble of the earth and heed the whispering of the wind."
He drew the sword and held it aloft toward the sky with a practiced and precise stance.
[Symbol of tranquility and the very essence of Divine Beasts, listen to my voice.]
Once more, the Magic Sword was swung.
Slash!!
A great wound was inflicted on his arm, and the sword’s surface was fed with his blood that flowed out from his sliced skin.
Woong!
Slowly, as the desire for great power started to gather, the might of the Four Divine Beasts also began to intensify.
The source of this world and the one from the world Woochi lived in were the same. And now... The being Davey wished to summon was essentially an absolute Divine Beast of this world.
Even in terms of sheer power, the Yellow Dragon surpassed the Spirit Kings and in certain situations, could even rival the peak state of the King of Mythical Beasts. Then, would it be meaningless to summon one? Such doubts were practically nonsensical from the start.
In certain circumstances, the Divine Beasts were more efficient, and the three Kings of Mythical Beasts had become so powerful that they were entirely separate entities from the usual summoned beasts. It was foolish to think that a freshly awakened Divine Beast could overcome them.
Qilin, Haitai, the Yellow Dragon.
One of the three mighty Divine Beasts now opened its eyes to heed Davey's will.
The prayers of the people in this land were not wholly in vain, even though the gods had neglected them for a millennia.
For that faith became a yearning. Then it transmuted into power that materialized into a formidable being. So essentially, a Divine Beast was merely a way to bring consciousness to this power. In other words, it was not the summons of a Divine Beast but the harnessing of desires.
The problem was, even though the source of power was the same, the Heavenly Central Plains had a considerably high chance of summoning failure, because of its isolation from Woochi’s world. And even if it were to succeed, the Yellow Dragon had a much more finicky and different summoning method from the other Divine Beasts. Still, despite such penalties and risks, Davey had to summon it.
[As thy devotee, declare my name to be Davey O’Rowane in thy acceptance.]
Upon the words he uttered his clear voice, a great gust of wind began to stir.
Amazement filled the faces of those who were watching Davey attempt such a challenging task—summoning the Central Divine Beast, which was not just any regular Divine Beast. With the incredible pressure preventing them from even opening their eyes properly, they still desperately tried to capture the sight of him.
Crack!!!
The damage rate reached close to one percent. If possible, it would be more stable to avoid using excessive power and instead synchronize his soul to manifest power.
Just then, the myriad of talismans laid out around him began to react, producing streams of brilliant light. And from above, particles of light that seemed to materialize from nowhere, converged, merging with the light streams emanating from the talismans to begin generating a vast form in the air.
[Name thyself.]
In response to Davey’s words, the figure undulated violently.
[I ask again. Name thyself.]
Out of the blue, beams of light began pouring into the swamp from all directions. And after a while, the bright beams began to sear the earth. It was as if they were cosmic rays of purification, engulfing and consuming the encroaching swamp of corruption created by Melt.
‘Melt's power may indeed be very powerful, but...’
The Yellow Dragon’s power was far superior, and its inherent power of purification was doubly potent with the fortification and bolstering from the Jewel of Eight Deities. And so, the deluge of light columns kept raining down until they eventually neutralized and vaporized the swamp, completely eradicating all traces.
"My goodness... To think it would actually purify."
"Not yet. You'll see soon why that lunatic is called a lunatic."
At this remark, the faces of Perserque and the beings from the Spirit Realm, who were seeing the Yellow Dragon for the first time, were filled with fear and anxiety.
After all, one commonality among the afflicted with obsession and compulsion was putting in excessive efforts to solve problems.
Woosh!!!!!
The Yellow Dragon continued to unleash its purifying beams on the immaculate ground, uncaring of how it had already vanquished every little trace of the swamps of corruption.
Davey exhaled heavily. ‘Damn it, the beast's advantage is its potent and expansive power, but the downside is its capricious nature, recklessly spending its total force at any simple contaminant it considered filth.’
"The swamp is gone, right? How long will this continue?!"
"Let it be. The purification beams will probably keep raining down for half an hour or so. So let’s wait it out."
The beams had only taken a mere ten seconds to obliterate the swamp. Yet the dragon's rampage was far from over.
"Hmm, with the Jewel of Eight Deities boosting, who knows, maybe it'll last longer."
Freshly born, Davey would have educated it better if it were possible, but the Yellow Dragon's existence was beyond teaching. There was ease in giving up, as the saying went, and never had that seemed more apt.

While Davey was summoning the Yellow Dragon, Yun Hee-Ryeong set out for the Heavenrend Sect with Ja-Seong and Ji-Hee.
[The Ak Rim Sect had fallen. The masters are dead, and the sect leader has vanished. There is nothing left but revenge. All that remains is to return to my sect to rebuild the school...]
Yun Hee-Ryeong renounced her position as the commander of the Black Tortoise Unit. She had decided to return to Heavenrend Sect, vowing to dedicate her efforts to the reconstruction of their sect until it was strong enough.
"I apologize on behalf of past blunders by the Ak Rim Sect. On that account, I vow to support the Heavenrend Sect under the name of Hwan," Emperor Wol Gon pledged to Yun Hee-Ryeong even if he was typically unconcerned with such matters. But he had once sought out elixirs of immortality to preserve his own life, and he realized the futility too late. Even then, he was still far more obsessed with life than others. And since he was grateful to Davey for saving his life, he was committed to offering his full support to Davey, regardless of who he was, and such support was also extended to Davey’s companions.
Needless to say, Yun Hee-Ryeong was evidently touched to near tears at the shockingly generous offer from the haughty emperor.
"All that's left is this wretched swamp that has taken root in this land..."
Mixed expressions crossed the faces of Emperor Wol Gon and Princess Jadeflower of Yu.
"Since Davey had taken action..."
“It's taken him longer than expected to return.”
Wol Gon's face showed complexity as time continued to tick by, and the swamp only grew larger. Suddenly...
Rumble!!! Rumble!!!
Golden flashes of divine lightning filled the sky. And at that moment, everyone looked up with a baffled expression. A vast Yellow Dragon, driven mad with cleanliness, glared with bulging eyes at the swamp of corruption within the palace grounds.
"Take it easy, you fucking shit!!!" Davey's frustrated shout also played a part in the shocking scene everybody was watching.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
