Amidst the boundless void space outside the Barren Expanses, the Earth Dragon King and the other powerhouses of the dragon tribes felt a violent jolt in their hearts, growing fretful. The Extreme Tooth Dragon King’s Divine Original True Spirit Pattern was disappearing from their Supernautral Awareness.
After the Liuyan Dragon King, another great Flame Dragon has fallen!
The Hou Ning Dragon King was dumbfounded. “Was the Extreme Tooth Dragon King still slaughtered by that woman even with the boosts from my demonic energy?”
The Earth Dragon King became flustered, feeling boundless flames igniting around him. He could seemingly sense that his own blood essence surging in the distance, reminding him further of the time when Lin Feng severed his dragon claw and tail.
The enormous Immemorial Celestial Dragon raised his head to the skies and belted out a hysterical roar, then lunged towards Zhu Yi!
His dragon body coiling around the Higan Golden Bridge tightened its grip, straining the bridge until its golden glow and the Tiangang Sword Star River trembled continuously.
On the other side, the Azure Skies Dragon King let out a roar and threw out boundless ink-like radiance which rolled towards the Immortal Dragon City.
The Immortal Dragon City was still in a deep slumber, but its foundations were sturdy. Withstanding the Azure Dragon Flames of the Azure Skies Dragon King, it remained standing in that short amount of time, seemingly indestructible.
But the Azure Dragon Flames specialized in destroying spells. Its formidable power could even corrode this entire section of the Middle Worlds and drive it to complete obliteration.
The magic treasure’s Original Soul inside the slumbering Immortal Dragon City was swept up by the ink-like glow, undulating repeatedly, causing the sturdy city walls to become mottled.
The enormous city suddenly began giving off a peculiar glow, with a dragon’s figure fading in and out of view, alternating between the forms of a city and a giant Celestial Dragon.
Zhu Yi and the Tiangang Swordmaster coordinated their moves perfectly, with one attacking while the other defended, blocking the Earth Dragon King’s assault.
With the Qin Emperor Shi Yu already dead, Zhu Yi and the Tiangang Swordmaster could afford greater freedom with their battle strategies, no longer needing to rush. They could now battle the Earth Dragon King with greater flexibility and ease. As time passed, their synergy with each other also improved.
The Earth Dragon King’s Vital Spirit was damaged after his draconic realm was forcefully penetrated and he was forced to defend. With the changing tides, his ferocious attacks in his sheer rage were instead forcefully pushed back by Zhu Yi and the Tiangang Swordmaster.
The crystallized product of Lin Feng’s Holy Light of Creation was being depleted by great speeds, but it was still boosting Zhu Yi’s Higan Golden Bridge.
The already illusory ninth ring of light on the golden bridge has vanished, but the eight remaining rainbow-colored rings of light still radiated with vigor.
Amidst the magnificent golden light, they looked like eight mighty deities appearing below the golden bridge who reached their hands out and pushed the Higan Golden Bridge upwards.
The golden rainbow enveloped by the dual-colored black and white Holy Light suddenly cut across the skies. At the same time, the Tiangang Swordmaster channeled his mana and sword radiance to form a dazzling Heaven River. Boundless rays of its glow burst outwards.
The giant body of the Earth Dragon King, coiling around the Higan Golden Bridge, was finally blown backwards by the explosive force.
Without waiting for the Earth Dragon King to make his next move, the Literary Taiji Diagram created from Zhu Yi’s Immortal Soul expanded abruptly. After pounding the Earth Dragon King backwards, it immediately merged with the Higan Golden Bridge, morphing into an indomitable giant resembling a god descending down to the mortal world to hold up the heavens.
The eight rainbow-colored rings of light floated above the giant’s head, cloaking his gargantuan stature with boundless light. The dual-colored black and white Holy White radiated beside the golden light, shaking the heavens.
He reached his hand out and instantly wrote the character ‘Yi’ in the void space, gathering all the vital spirit of the surroundings into one spot. He then summoned three mana prints consecutively, blending their power to create a fist punch seemingly capable of laying waste to the heavens and earth. He pummeled his first downwards on the Earth Dragon King.
With the boost from the black and white Holy Light, the first’s power escalated to terrifying proportions, frightening even the Earth Dragon King.
The gigantic Celestial Dragon belted out a long roar and revealed his true form. The scales all over his body opened and closed repeatedly, releasing large amounts of golden light which condensed into dense Dragon Awe Auspicious Clouds.
He flashed his claws and collided with the giant’s first.
Amidst the endless dark void space, besides the two colors of black and white, there was only a blinding golden light left which illuminated the surrounding void space.
The void space distorted and shook incessantly at the respective battlegrounds in the alternate dimensions and the Middle Worlds, and even quaked to the extent where the energy created silhouettes which swayed under the blinding golden light. The silhouettes resembled giant air bubbles with cracks appearing on its surface, looking as though they would explode at any moment.
As the black and white Holy Light was being consumed, the crystallized form of Lin Feng’s Holy Light of Creation was also being depleted to its limit.
But the Earth Dragon King’s eyes flashed with astonishment and anger, glaring at the Tiangang Swordmaster.
The Tiangang Swordmaster transformed into a shooting star and flew into the distance at an alarming speed, heading straight for the Azure Skies Dragon King!
Although the Qin Emperor Shi Yu was already dead, their original plan still bore the greatest chances for victory. While Zhu Yi was holding back the Earth Dragon King, the Tiangang Swordmaster did not continue attacking together but instead chose to target the Azure Skies Dragon King.
The Azure Skies Dragon King was petrified. He held an extremely precise judgement of the entire situation, and was well aware of the Tiangang Swordmaster’s intentions. If he took the Tiangang Swordmaster’s Alpha Destiny Tribulation head-on now, he would either be killed immediately or enter an extremely weak state. He would not just be unable to aid the Earth Dragon King, but he would become a burden to his comrade.
The Azure Skies Dragon King was also someone with great decisiveness. He did not bother continuing to destroy the Immortal Dragon City, and instead gathered the ink-like radiance to sweep up the Immortal Dragon City. A peculiar pattern then flashed on his forehead, which instantly covered his entire body and gave off a dazzling glow.
Amidst the glow flashed a boundless black light. A sparkling pure gold sea appeared.
It was the Black Sea, but it was in a violent and wild state – raging waves, savage tempests and towering clouds – causing the opening which the Azure Skies Dragon King created to become extremely unstable, as if it would collapse at any time. And because the Azure Skies Dragon King constructed this passage, the spiritual energy flow in the Black Sea grew even more chaotic and unstable.
The Azure Skies Dragon King wanted to borrow the powers of the Black Sea to return to the Black Sea himself, but under unique circumstances, the construction of the passage was slower than usual.
The Tiangang Swordmaster was incredibly resolute, and bore no intentions to exchange any blows with the Azure Skies Dragon King. He immediately joined his left index and middle fingers as a razor-sharp sword and pierced towards the Azure Skies Dragon King!
An ominous black aura morphed into a straight black line, firing towards the Azure Skies Dragon King!
The Falling Angels, the Alpha Destiny Tribulation!
Every area the black aura occupied seemed as if the heavens and lands were deteriorating together to welcome the apocalypse, descending into a final irreversible obliteration.
The Azure Skies Dragon King could not dodge the attack, and forcefully endured the Alpha Destiny Tribulation. His jade-like body instantly lost its sheen, and was now covered in dirt marks, giving off an unbearable stench far more putrid than the Blood River Primordial Water.
Such a prideful and unapologetically regal dragon, akin to the ruler of the heavens, was now covered in dirt. Most of his scales dropped down, his magnificent demonic energy waves and his frightening draconic might vanished instantly, like a lofty cloud falling into a muddy swamp. A royal noble turned into a ragged and dirty beggar in the blink of an eye.
The Azure Skies Dragon King let out a low roar, highly reluctant to accept this fate. Regardless whether it was his demonic energy, his physical strength, or the energy waves from his Demonic Soul, all of them have fallen to their lowest and weakest depths.
The Tiangang Swordmaster gazed upon this sight without showing a tinge of emotion. “What a pity, he still managed to endure this Decay Tribulation.”
The Azure Skies Dragon King was still a formidable opponent. Although he could not take the decisive final step to enter the Vipralopa Stage like the Yellow Plains Dragon King due to his lack of confidence, he still accumulated a substantial amount of experience, allowing him to successfully tide through the Decay Tribulations without buckling despite the Tiangang Swordmaster’s sudden attack.
Although he looked pitiful and pathetic now, he could enter the Vipralopa Realm once he recovers from his frail state and become an Immemorial Celestial Dragon!
But all these could only happen after he overcomes the trial before him now.
Even though the Tiangang Swordmaster too endured an Alpha Destiny Tribulation, it was still a distance from the limit of his endurance. Although it took a toll on his strength, he could still easily slaughter the Azure Skies Dragon King with any attack considering the latter’s current state.
The energy of the Black Sea undulated continuously as the peculiar passage finally materialized, about to deliver the Azure Skies Dragon King to the Black Sea.
But the ink-like light which swept up the Immortal Dragon City was near obliteration. The enormous Immortal Dragon City reappeared in its original form, and it was now difficult for it to enter the Black Sea along with the Azure Skies Dragon King. It drifted amidst the shattered void space instead.
The Tiangang Swordmaster could no longer bother about the Immortal Dragon City, and instead focused on his sword radiance-turned Heaven River, charging towards the Azure Skies Dragon King to seize his final chance to kill his opponent.
But on the other side, the Earth Dragon King let out a thunderous roar, forcefully enduring Zhu Yi’s punch and morphing into a ray of light, instantly traversing the void space and catching up to the Tiangang Swordmaster, delivering a vicious slash on his back.
The Tiangang Swordmaster’s sword radiance-turned Heaven River rolled across the void space once and sliced down on the Earth Dragon King’s claw.
The Earth Dragon King’s claw instantly burst with a blinding radiance while the Tiangang Swordmaster let out a deep grunt. The Tiangang Sword Star River shattered and revealed his body. His right hand shivered as it gripped onto the Tiangang Ancient Sword. White flowing light spread across the void space like the fountaining blood of a wound, which in this case was the destroyed essence of the Tiangang Swordmaster.
Zhu Yi on the other hand, tailed behind the Earth Dragon King. The Earth Dragon King let out a roar as he twitched violently in the universe without his tail, sweeping and shattering countless stars before clashing with Zhu Yi once more.
The black and white glow on the golden giant formed from the Higan Golden Bridge was gradually being depleted. Even the eighth rainbow-colored ring of light above its head was blurring and fading away.
The golden giant turned around and transformed back into the Higan Golden Bridge. The Literary Taiji Diagram fell from the air and transformed back into a scholarly figure clad in purple robes.
Zhu Yi stood on the golden bridge as he eyed the Earth Dragon King before him, the connected Black Sea in the distance, the Azure Skies Dragon King midway through the passage, and the Immortal Dragon City which was drifting in the shattered space, about to be submerged in a boundless sea of space.
The Immortal Dragon City’s Dragon Soul Sacrificial Ceremony has unexpectedly lost control. The Earth Dragon King’s profound and indiscernible strength, the Black Sea’s mystifying power, the current unstable situation, and the Immortal Dragon City’s unexpected and chaotic state in the void space, were all clouded in a thick fog. This made the situation extremely unclear and difficult to grasp.
However, Zhu Yi’s eyes glistened even brighter in this moment. The spiritual altar in his heart grew clearer and clearer.
