Ding!
The flying sword forged from the millennium warm jade was knocked away. The ancestor dragon beast roared, each scale exuding the aura of ancient wilderness, overflowing with murderous intent. It was like a dragon or serpent rising from the earth, breaking through layers of restrictions, and reaching right before Shenjianshi.
As the claw touched Shenjianshi for an instant, the dragon hesitated slightly, but then mercilessly sliced down, cutting Shenjianshi into two.
Pu!
Blood sprayed wildly. The shocking murderous aura even directly contaminated his divine soul, causing Shenjianshi’s true spirit to decay, resulting in complete destruction of both body and soul.
“The previous communication method was also useless… You indeed are not… our ancestor!”
A phantom little figure appeared, surrounded by black qi, giving a bitter smile before his Yuan Shen dispersed.
“Roar! Roar!”
After killing his bloodline descendant, the ancestor dragon beast’s gaze became even more ferocious, now targeting the group trapped at the entrance.
“Lord Alliance Leader! Can you calm this ancestor dragon first?”
Yu Luoyan’s face stiffened, offering a slight smile while secretly crushing a pure white jade flower in her hand.
“Why should I? This fiend wants to kill, what can I do?”
Wu Ming laughed loudly.
Indeed, he couldn’t control the ancestor dragon, and even if he could, he wouldn’t stop it.
How rare was this opportunity?
Even if it meant sacrificing this second Yuan Shen in this deadly place, as long as he could drag the main god’s will along with him, it would be a tremendous success!
Inside Wu Ming’s heart, murderous intent surged!
“Roar! Roar!”
Almost at the same moment the dragon beast lunged, he also moved!
“Ow ow!”
The giant golden-armored automaton roared, layers of colorful talisman lights flashing across its body. Its grinding-disk-sized palm pressed downward directly.
“Die!”
Peng!
The earth trembled slightly, kicking up a thick cloud of dust. From within the swirling smoke emerged a towering figure—undoubtedly the transformed true form of the main god, his muscles coiled and bulging with power.
He extended one hand, firmly blocking the mechanical hand of the level-five puppet, and even wore a mocking smile on his face: “Just a mere mechanical puppet, dares to claim to kill me? Demon King of Trampling the Sky! Come out now!”
“Moo! Moo!”
At the moment he spoke, a surge of demonic aura shot up behind the golden-armored puppet. Within it appeared a phantom of a giant bull. The Demon King of Trampling the Sky revealed his true form, no smaller than the puppet, and charged forward, its thick horns directly ramming the back of the golden-armored automaton.
Honglong!
The tremendous impact sent the golden-armored automaton flying backward. When it stood up again, there were two huge dents on its back.
Inside the control room, Wu Ming’s face was grim.
The divine will of the main deity had improved so significantly in just a few days, actually advancing directly to the fifth level! Moreover, the true form of the Witch Gate he had refined demonstrated exceptional mastery, and he had even recruited a fifth-level great demon!
Although Wu Ming was operating a level-five puppet, his puppet mastery was not yet sufficient to unleash its full power. It was effective against lower-level opponents but clearly inferior when facing same-level experts.
The more so, the stronger his murderous intent grew.
“In such a short time, he has improved this much. If I really let the tiger return to the mountains today, it would be like a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable!”
The three behemoths clashed violently, their demonic energy, arcane sorcery, and mechanical forces unleashing shockwaves that rippled endlessly, shaking the very foundations of heaven and earth.
Roar! Roar!
On the other side, facing the ancestor dragon’s attacks, the situation for Yu Luoyan and others was also dire.
“Cursed!”
Yu Luoyan looked at Hengdao Laogui, Wuduniangzi, and others who were fighting while retreating and had already created some distance from her, gritting her teeth inwardly. She knew that bringing them into this perilous situation had already lost all their trust.
If the situation wasn’t so perilous, those permission holders might have already joined forces to deal with her.
“The message has been sent. I hope the ancestors can arrive in time!”
Yu Luoyan thought silently, watching the ancestor dragon rampaging across the battlefield, feeling a rare sense of bewilderment.
Even among the reincarnators, could they hold out until reinforcements arrived against this vicious ancestor dragon?
Roar! Roar!
Another shocking dragon roar rang out, making people’s scalps tingle, but Yu Luoyan’s expression suddenly relaxed.
Among the many lights on the battlefield, the ancestor dragon had already chosen its target—clearly the group led by Yan Sheng and Cui Jue.
“Decree: Imprison!”
Cui Jue’s face turned pale as he shouted fiercely.
Honglong! Kacha!
Countless chains and bars appeared in the void, forming a massive black cage with a dark surface and menacing thorns, seemingly indestructible, descending from the sky and trapping the dragon beast inside.
Chi chi!
However, Cui Jue and Yan Sheng’s expressions did not improve at all. In their terrified gazes, a massive amount of murderous aura spread out, quickly making the Legalist cage riddled with holes. Two massive, sharp claws gleaming with cold light directly broke out of the prison.
Pu!
Their technique was broken, and they were further counterattacked by the ancestor dragon’s murderous aura, causing Cui Jue to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, bitterly saying, “I never thought that today, both of us would perish here!”
“Perhaps there’s still a chance!”
Yan Sheng used his remaining arm to pull out a four-colored talisman from his chest, gritting his teeth.
“A Heavenly Immortal Dao talisman?”
Cui Jue’s eyes flickered with hope, but then dimmed once more: “Even if it’s a talisman personally inscribed by a Heavenly Immortal, it likely couldn’t deliver a fatal blow in one strike. Within this Nine-Slaughtering Death Lair, the ancestral dragon beast is virtually indestructible…”
“This is not an attack talisman, but a message one!”
Yan Sheng gritted his teeth: “Mr. Cui, you should know that since the establishment of our Bureau of Strange Affairs, we’ve always had connections with the blessed lands… and even had their specially assigned disciples inside!”
Cui Jue was speechless.
Those disciples were all at the True Disciple level, sufficient to hold their own elsewhere, but unfortunately, this place was too dangerous, and now they were all dead without a single survivor.
Yan Sheng’s face hardened as he directly activated the talisman: “Back then, these blessed lands supported our Bureau of Strange Affairs just to obtain clues about a group of mysterious people… Now they’re all here. If I directly use this talisman to contact them, it’s also a great achievement!”
“A great achievement!”
Cui Jue’s heart chilled, knowing that Yan Sheng already had thoughts of switching allegiances.
After all, with this mission failing and all subordinates dead, returning to the capital would bring no good fate. At best, they’d be handed over their authority and put on ice.
Compared to that, defecting to another blessed land was also a way to retreat!
Weng!
Their conversation was swift. As they spoke, the Heavenly Immortal talisman transformed into a ray of clear light, shooting upward, unable to be blocked even by thick layers of rock, instantly disappearing.
Roar! Roar!
The next moment, the ancestor dragon beast broke free from the cage and lunged toward the two.
“There’s still some time. Let’s fight!”
Cui Jue gritted his teeth. The Tianxing Sword emitted a dazzling glow. Yan Sheng’s expression changed several times, suddenly turning around and fleeing without looking back.
“Cursed!”
In an instant, Cui Jue understood the other’s plan—to use him as bait to buy some time, hiding within the imperial tomb!
Originally, this place was a deadly trap, but if they needed to buy some time, it seemed not difficult, only needing to hold out under the attacks of the ancestor dragon and the dragon beast!
Roar! Roar!
Compared to the fleeing Yan Sheng, obviously the Legalist disciple who had fought before was the one the dragon beast hated more.
In an instant, the ancestor dragon beast roared and chased after Cui Jue relentlessly.
“Yan Sheng! Old man, I’ll never forgive you!”
Cui Jue’s face was filled with despair. At this moment, with no other choice, he recited an incantation: “Edict!”
The Tianxing Sword emitted an unbearable mournful cry. The original cracks automatically widened, revealing the glowing essence inside.
Huala!
The sword shell shattered, revealing a somewhat illusory sword shadow.
This was the true form of the Tianxing Sword, refined over centuries by the Legalists with the aura of punishment!
Originally, if the Tianxing Sword had reached completion, this essence would have solidified completely, but now Cui Jue chose to squander it—burning all the punishment aura infused by generations of Legalist ancestors to transform it into immense power!
“Go!”
Facing the ancestor dragon, Cui Jue had no other path. He gritted his teeth, and the illusory legal sword shot forth, piercing toward the ancestor dragon.
Honglong!
How immense was the power of the punishment aura accumulated by generations of Legalist ancestors? At this moment, its sudden release immediately caused a terrifying explosion.
The violent shockwave even disturbed the battle between the giants nearby, causing a brief pause.
“It should… be successful, right?”
Cui Jue kept retreating, his battered face filled with hope.
But the next moment, a dragon beast that looked half-destroyed, its body covered in wounds, emerged from the explosion’s aftermath, its massive mouth snapping down.
Kacha!
…
“What a bunch of useless trash! Even the ancestor dragon is a useless dragon!”
Honglong!
At the center of the three giants’ battle, Wu Ming had already been steadily pushed into a disadvantage. Glancing at the situation here, seeing Cui Jue’s death and the other permission holders scattering like birds and beasts, he couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
“By the power of Heaven and Earth, the Divine Thunder of the Witchcraft Technique!”
In the next instant, the colossal witch transformed from the will of the supreme deity let out a thunderous roar. Together with the massive phantom of the demonic bull, it unleashed a divine thunderbolt, striking the puppet’s chest with devastating force.
Zila!
Wu Ming’s controlled golden-armored general became unstable, even the talisman and armor’s effects completely failed, its body pitted and scarred.
“Good opportunity!”
The main god’s will thought excitedly, the giant quickly stepping forward, its right hand like a blade, striking again, sending one of the golden-armored puppet’s arms flying.
Fighting against two level-five experts, Wu Ming’s control of the puppet beast had already been quite difficult to hold on this long.
“Haha! Die!”
The main god’s will had a cold light in his eyes: “Even if this is just one of your avatars, it doesn’t matter. After I capture it, I have plenty of secret techniques to torture you until you wish for death but cannot die, and then find your true body!”
“Pity… You won’t get that chance!”
Wu Ming’s face was extremely calm, with a faint determination and resolve: “Heavenly Net! Eject the cockpit! Explode!”
The next moment, the golden automaton spread its hands, casting out a net that ensnared both the Demon King of Trampling the Sky and the main god’s will. Its chest cracked open, revealing a core power furnace glowing like molten lava inside, rapidly expanding…
Hong!!!
From the mushroom cloud, a black capsule shot out, revealing the figure of Gongshu Zhe:
“Burn the body and soul, flesh sacrifice! Thunder strike!”
Hong!
In an instant, this physical body of Wu Ming burst into raging flames, red fire spewing from his limbs and countless pores!
Combining righteousness and evil! Sacrificing flesh! Channeling thunder!
A flash of crimson lightning transformed into an electric arrow, shooting forth and instantly striking the ancestor dragon’s forehead!
