Chapter 277 The Dragon (End)
Chapter 277 The Dragon (End)
That old demon who had undergone tribulation probably never imagined that his contracted beast would still be alive 100,000 years later!
Just when Yingyue and the others thought the crisis was over, the cemetery carefully chosen by the evil cultivator was shaken to its core, and an enormous dragon with an incomparably huge body raised its head from the cemetery where its master had perished.
Looking at the pointed, yet-to-emerge bulge on its head, and the four claws that have grown out, this is actually a dragon that failed to transform into a dragon!
Moreover, judging from its appearance, it was the other party who voluntarily gave up the transformation into a dragon.
Unlike its master, who was the core of the secret realm, this dragon's original cultivation level was severely suppressed by the secret realm, and it was only at the Nascent Soul stage!
Moreover, the resources in the secret realm were simply insufficient to supply this dragon. Although it had come back to life, it was already very old, and its lifespan was almost completely exhausted!
This is merely the last glimmer of its power!
But that doesn’t mean we can underestimate this old dragon. Having lived for nearly 100,000 years, this dragon has long since become a spirit. Not to mention its enormous body and the venom that drips from its mouth, which creates a huge crater when it hits the ground!
The venom fell onto Wen Sishu's alchemy furnace, making a corrosive sizzling sound. The power of the venom was something even Wen Sishu's alchemy furnace could not withstand!
He died because he sensed the passing of his master's soul.
This dragon, which had been obsessed with this idea for over 100,000 years, went completely mad. Its life force burned wildly, and it secreted venom continuously, actually trying to drown them alive in the poisonous sea!
Who could withstand this!
Wen Sishu and Liu Shaoyuan felt a pang of heartache.
We can't go on like this. If we keep hiding like this, either their alchemy furnace will perish, or the dragon will die!
They chose the latter!
Yingyue, being an alchemist herself, knew the importance of the alchemy furnace. The three of them exchanged a glance and decided to stop hiding and fight the dragon outside!
Today, either the alchemy furnace perishes or the dragon dies; their fates are not among the options!
As soon as they emerged from the alchemy furnace, a massive claw hurtled towards them!
Although the three of them were not as fast as Cheng Jiu, they were more than capable of dodging the old dragon's attacks!
With a wave of his hand, Liu Shaoyuan released the alchemy furnace from his hand.
Upon seeing the enormous creature outside, the cultivators turned pale. Some, unable to grasp the situation, even complained about why Liu Shaoyuan had let them out.
The next moment, his head fell to the ground!
Some cultivators who wanted to echo her fell silent instantly. Sister Hua retracted her blood-stained throwing knife: "These three fairy immortals are our benefactors! I don't want any more ungrateful words to be uttered! We all want to live!"
Sister Hua pointed to the enormous dragon: "Therefore, we must unite even more! We must defeat this dragon! We are not entrusting our hope of survival to these three fairy lords; they owe us nothing! We are the ones who must take responsibility for our own lives!"
His gaze then swept coldly over each cultivator: "I don't want to hear such ungrateful words a second time! Do you understand?"
Qin Huaijun stood silently beside Sister Hua, joining her in issuing a warning: none of those who had cultivated to their level were stupid!
Under the leader's warning, those with ulterior motives were extinguished in fear.
Everyone brandished their weapons at the enormous dragon! They might be weak, but they all wanted to live!
The other three, however, paid no attention to the legal proceedings and charged forward with whips and alchemy furnaces in hand!
The alchemy furnace is not only incredibly defensive, but its weight is also astonishing!
In particular, Wen Sishu's powerful strike directly knocked the dragon's head off course, and blood seeped from its scales!
The pain made the old dragon even more ferocious and insane.
With a single swipe of its enormous tail, the dragon, as massive as a mountain, shattered rocks and shattered jade!
The rogue cultivators who originally wanted to help finally realized a fact: they were not worthy of joining this battlefield and would only be a burden!
Forcing their way in would be irrational, so the leader quickly led his team to hide in the distance.
If they couldn't help, they shouldn't cause any trouble; all they could do was cheer on the three fairies and immortals from afar.
The dragon's tail slammed heavily onto the ground, creating deep, bottomless cracks. It's easy to imagine that if this attack were to hit a person, they would be smashed into a pulp in an instant!
Although the old dragon's cultivation was limited, its physical body had already become a saint!
Fortunately, the opponent was old and couldn't keep up with the speed, giving Yingyue and the other two enough time to escape!
It seemed that the dragon was targeting its venom and flesh with all its attacks, and it hardly ever used spiritual energy.
It's likely that after all these years of maintaining its powerful physical body, its spiritual energy has been almost depleted, rendering it unable to unleash spiritual energy attacks!
The fact that the dragon has not yet transformed into a dragon means that the other party is still a snake. Snakes have a weakness, their vital spot, and dragons have a weakness, their reverse scale!
This old dragon has all of these weaknesses!
This also gave Yingyue and her two companions the opportunity to kill them!
As Yingyue successfully found the opponent's reverse scale among the many scales, she used a whip to pluck it off alive.
Wen Sishu and Liu Shaoyuan joined forces to use the alchemy furnace to blast the opponent's vital point!
The old dragon collapsed in despair.
The enormous body was divided and consumed by the three alchemists. Although they didn't know if the dragon meat was edible, the dragon's defensive scales and venom alone were already extraordinary treasures for them.
Before leaving, the group briefly explored the ancient cave and learned from a few words that the old dragon had once been the contracted beast of this evil cultivator!
Ten thousand years ago, they followed this evil cultivator in causing trouble, but later the evil cultivator's lifespan was nearing its end.
This dragon did not leave as the evil cultivator had arranged, nor did it give up the opportunity to transform into a dragon. Instead, it guarded its master's tomb, waiting for its master to be resurrected.
Unfortunately, its owner encountered three genius disciples from the five major sects and contracted a strange fire specifically targeting the soul. Ten thousand years of planning was ruined in an instant, and his soul was scattered!
It was fate, they deserved it!
Emerging from the secret realm, Yingyue and her companions also spotted the two Qi brothers, who were nowhere to be seen, their faces bruised and swollen, unrecognizable.
The two brothers were so engrossed in their own grudges that they fought so fiercely that they lost all sense of time and place. If it weren't for the timely intervention of their extended family members, the best-case scenario would likely have been one death and the other serious injury.
However, this allowed the two people to escape these two life-or-death crises.
Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune!
After all, only these two brother teams entered the secret realm and gained nothing.
All the other cultivators who entered and survived made a fortune. Putting aside the two crises, the resources before them were truly abundant!
Finally, Cheng Jiu disappeared. They couldn't find their junior sister and, considering that the master of the secret realm was an evil cultivator, they were extremely worried.
He rushed back to his sect to seek help.
Immortal Lord Qingxu performed divination for his disciple, but to no avail! This matter eventually reached the ears of other sects, causing their allies to become very worried!
That's the whole story!
