Chapter 1308
Boundary River Dragon Spawn, Dragon Bone Scripture
"The Boundary River is the confluence and boundary of many great worlds. The most primordial chaotic power flows in the river, and it also nurtures countless powerful chaotic beings."
"The place where the Thunderous True Dragon fell, which we are looking for, is deep within this river."
The two concealed their breathing and flew cautiously along the edge of the boundary river.
The deeper Ye Yang went, the more shaken he became.
He saw countless enormous shadows moving back and forth in the murky river water.
They were so numerous and densely packed that it was truly astonishing.
But the next moment, Ye Yang suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
He stopped, his brow furrowed, staring intently at the shadows in the river below.
"Senior, look!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal also stopped, following his gaze, her pupils slightly contracting.
Below, in the chaotic river, swam giant beasts of various shapes and sizes.
There are dragons, chiwen, and other dragons, and even some monsters with dragon heads and fish bodies, or dragon heads and turtle bodies.
Despite their bizarre appearances, they all share a common characteristic.
Without exception, they all exuded a dragon-like aura of the same origin, carrying a violent and deathly presence!
These monstrous beasts all appear to be of the dragon family!
Moreover, their eyes are a strange blood red, filled with madness and chaos, as if they have lost their reason and are left with only the most primal killing instinct.
"It's the dragon essence and resentment that dissipated after the death of the Thunderous True Dragon..."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal instantly understood.
"These creatures of the boundary river have lingered here for many years, absorbing the residual power of the Thunder Emperor True Dragon after its death, and have mutated into dragon monsters that only know how to kill!"
"There are too many."
Ye Yang's expression was solemn. Among these dragon prodigies, there were quite a few experts at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm.
Such a massive number, when gathered together, formed a terrifying force capable of destroying a vast world.
"We cannot allow them to continue to exist, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.
"These dragon monsters are the key to unlocking the place where the Thunder Emperor True Dragon fell. We must kill them all and condense their original blood beads in order to open that sealed space-time."
"Let's do it!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal had already made his move!
"Clang!"
A clear and melodious sword cry resounded through the void, and a cyan sword light that reached the heavens and the earth was like a divine punishment that split the heavens and the earth.
It fell from the sky and slashed fiercely into the boundary river below!
Where the sword light passed, the Chaos River was forcibly split in two, revealing a bottomless, enormous ravine.
Hundreds of dragon monstrosities didn't even have time to let out a scream.
Under that domineering and unparalleled sword light, it was instantly annihilated, turning into the purest blood energy.
"Roar!"
This earth-shattering sword strike thoroughly enraged the dragon horde in the river.
In an instant, all the beasts roared, and the entire boundary river boiled!
Countless blood-red eyes lit up from the bottom of the river.
One after another, enormous figures burst out of the water, carrying overwhelming ferocity, and rushed madly towards the two of them!
"Good timing!"
Ye Yang's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He let out a long roar, and purple-gold lightning erupted around him.
Immediately afterwards, a huge phantom of Xuanwu appeared behind him, roaring to the sky.
"go with!"
Ye Yang formed a hand seal, summoning divine thunder from the heavens.
"Boom!"
Above the void, thunderclouds gathered, and countless bolts of purple-gold lightning, as thick as buckets, shot out.
It poured down like a storm, turning the surrounding area into a sea of thunder!
The power of thunder is inherently very effective in suppressing evil spirits.
The dragon monsters that rushed forward let out shrill screams amidst the raging sea of lightning. Their massive bodies were charred black by the lightning, their scales shattered, and their flesh and blood were mangled.
Ye Yang's figure blurred as he rushed into the horde of dragon monsters. Lightning and sword intent intertwined on his fists, and with each swing, a powerful dragon monster had its head smashed and its massive body plunged into the river.
A fierce battle thus broke out on the border river.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's swordsmanship was extraordinary; with each strike, he took away swarms of dragon monsters.
Ye Yang, on the other hand, was like a thunder god descending to earth, domineering and fierce, charging through the army and invincible.
The massacre lasted for a full day and night.
After the last dragon was killed by Ye Yang with a single punch.
The originally murky boundary river has been dyed a glaring blood red.
Countless enormous corpses floated on the river, creating an extremely gruesome scene.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal hovered in mid-air, his hands forming hand seals and his mouth chanting incantations.
Below, in the river, one could see the essence and resentment emanating from the countless dragon corpses.
As if drawn by some force, they transformed into streams of crimson blood, converging towards his palm.
Soon, a blood bead the size of a human head, entirely blood red, with countless vengeful spirits seemingly roaring inside, condensed into shape.
"open!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal slammed the blood bead into the void.
"Buzz!"
The space trembled violently, and a huge crimson vortex appeared out of thin air, centered on the blood bead. At the other end of the vortex, an ancient and desolate dragon's might was revealed.
The place where the Thunderous True Dragon fell has finally been opened!
The two exchanged a glance and plunged into the crimson vortex without hesitation.
The scene before them shifted, and the next moment, they found themselves in a broken and desolate space.
This is the burial place of the Thunderous True Dragon.
In the sky, countless huge floating rocks are suspended, and on the ground, there are huge crisscrossing rift valleys.
The scene before my eyes changed.
Soon, Ye Yang found himself in a broken and desolate space.
This is the burial place of the Thunderous True Dragon.
In the sky, countless huge floating rocks are suspended, and on the ground, there are huge crisscrossing rift valleys.
In the center of the space, there was a dragon skeleton of unimaginable size.
It lies there quietly, like a continuous golden mountain range, timeless and immortal.
That dragon skeleton stretches for countless miles.
Each bone segment resembles a majestic mountain, its entire body displaying a warm, dark gold hue.
Even though it has been gone for countless years.
Despite being swept away by the chaotic currents and baptized by the long river of time, it still exudes an aura that is enough to make heaven and earth submit to it.
"This is the remains of the Primordial True Spirit Thunder Dragon!"
Ye Yang hovered in mid-air, his gaze fixed intently on the enormous creature, his heart pounding with excitement.
This dragon was born from the very source of thunder, wielding divine lightning from the nine heavens and able to draw upon the power of the stars. However, it ultimately could not withstand the erosion of time and is now nothing more than a remnant of bones.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal stood with his hands behind his back atop the sword light, his expression remaining calm.
"In the ancient times, true spirits emerged in great numbers, and the myriad realms were incredibly prosperous. But now, very few true spirits remain in the world. The fall of the Thunder Dragon is probably also related to the great chaos of the ancient times."
"This dragon bone is extraordinary. If we can absorb and refine it, it will be a great fortune for us."
Ye Yang nodded.
After numerous setbacks, this is the moment they have finally reached.
Ye Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and was about to move forward to absorb the inheritance light cluster between the dragon's eyebrows.
But his gaze inadvertently swept over the spine of the dragon bone and was deeply attracted by an unusual sight.
On the spine of the Thunderous True Dragon, which stretched like a mountain range, was not smooth as a mirror, but rather a complete scripture was densely engraved in an ancient and mysterious script.
The characters were ancient and vigorous, as if they were drawn with the most primitive laws of heaven and earth, and each character shimmered with a faint blue light.
A vast, boundless, and life- and creation-representing Daoist spirit emanates from it continuously.
Intertwined with the thunderous Daoist energy of the dragon bone itself, yet without conflict, they formed a wondrous and harmonious balance.
"Senior, look here quickly!"
Ye Yang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his voice filled with undisguised shock.
He leaped into the air, reached out, and carefully touched the ancient characters.
The moment his fingertips touched him, a vast and pure power surged into his body.
He was jolted, and countless profound pieces of information flooded into his mind.
Upon hearing this, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal flickered and appeared beside Ye Yang, his expression solemn.
"These characters are the secret script of the ancient Azure Dragon clan, which has long been lost to the world. I never expected that they would be engraved on the dragon bones of the Thunder Emperor True Dragon."
"The Azure Dragon Clan?"
Ye Yang's heart stirred, and he turned to look at the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.
"Senior, could this scripture be related to the Azure Dragon Clan?"
"good."
"The dragon is one of the four ancient spirits, controlling the way of life and creation. Judging from its sentence structure and Taoist rhyme, this scripture is the core secret method of the Azure Dragon clan, the Azure Dragon Taoist Scripture."
At this point, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal paused, then added,
"Moreover, this is not the complete 'Azure Dragon Dao Scripture,' but only a part of it, which specifically records the cultivation secrets of the Azure Dragon beast and the Spirit Armored Zhang."
"By cultivating this technique, one can use the life essence of the Azure Dragon to temper one's physical body and spiritual armor, strengthen one's defense and vitality, and recover quickly even if one is seriously injured. If a demon beast cultivates this technique, it can even draw upon the Azure Dragon's essence, transform and advance, and greatly increase its combat power."
As Ye Yang listened to the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's explanation, his shock grew even stronger.
He slowly read the text, and with each sentence he read, he gained a deeper understanding of the wonders of the Azure Dragon Dao Scripture.
Just as the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal said.
This Daoist manual is indeed extraordinary. The methods of tempering and the techniques of activating the source recorded in it are exquisite and can be called ancient wonders.
However, Ye Yang also knew the answer in his heart.
This "Azure Dragon Dao Scripture" was not of much use to him.
After all, this method is purely a demonic cultivation technique.
If one forces oneself to cultivate, not only will it be difficult to achieve anything, but it may also disrupt one's own balance of principles, resulting in more harm than good.
However, nowadays, the Flying Heaven Sect has not only human cultivators, but also many demonic beasts.
Putting aside everything else, just take the two purple lightning dragons that initially trained with the Flying Heaven Sect.
These demonic beasts have cultivated for many years, but they are always stuck at a bottleneck and find it difficult to break through.
If one could obtain the inheritance of the Azure Dragon Dao Scripture, one would surely break through the bottleneck and greatly increase one's strength.
In addition, although the Flying Heaven Sect's protective mountain formation is strong, it lacks a stable life force.
If the demon beast cultivators within the sect can cultivate this "Azure Dragon Dao Scripture," they can not only improve their own strength.
Furthermore, by drawing upon the life essence of the Azure Dragon, one can nourish the spiritual energy of the sect, thereby elevating the overall strength of the Flying Heaven Sect to a new level.
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
"Although this Azure Dragon Dao Scripture is useless to me, it is a priceless treasure to the demon beast cultivators of the Flying Heaven Sect."
"No matter what, we must take this Dao manual back to the Flying Heaven Sect and pass it on to those demon beast cultivators who need it. It can be considered as making a contribution to the sect."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal saw through Ye Yang's thoughts, smiled slightly, and slowly spoke.
“You are very thoughtful. Although this ‘Azure Dragon Dao Scripture’ is not complete, it can still be considered an ancient treasure.”
"Leaving it in this desolate place is just a waste. You might as well take it back to your sect and let it play its proper role."
Having gained the approval of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, Ye Yang became even more determined in his mind.
He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and focused his mind into his body, mobilizing his own Dao power.
They cautiously probed the characters engraved on the dragon bones, wanting to completely copy the "Azure Dragon Dao Scripture".
However, the moment his Dao power touched those words, it was blocked by an invisible force.
Those ancient characters seemed to be integrated with the dragon bones of the Thunderous Dragon, inseparable from it.
Ye Yang frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and pondered a solution.
He slowly raised his right hand, and a faint purple-gold lightning swirled around his fingertips.
However, this lightning was not the kind of domineering and fierce killing lightning.
Instead, it was a gentle and refined Daoist power and lightning that he had deliberately restrained.
This time, his lightning was not blocked, but successfully merged into the text.
As lightning merged in.
The ancient characters seemed to come alive, their shimmering blue light growing ever stronger, and the Daoist aura they exuded becoming ever clearer.
Ye Yang closed his eyes, focused his mind, and used the power of lightning to read every word and incantation of the Azure Dragon Dao Scripture little by little.
Imprint it in your mind.
Time passed little by little, and before we knew it, half an hour had gone by.
When Ye Yang imprinted the last character into his mind, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of weariness flashing in them, but more so joy.
"The replica is finally complete."
Ye Yang breathed a sigh of relief, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.
"Thank you for protecting me, senior. Otherwise, I would not have been able to copy the Daoist formula so smoothly."
"It was just a small favor."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal waved his hand and smiled slightly.
"Now that the Dao technique has been successfully replicated, it is not advisable to stay here for long. The depths of the Boundary Sea are fraught with danger. If we linger too long, something unexpected may happen."
Ye Yang nodded and was about to turn around and head to the dragon's head to absorb the power of inheritance when his gaze inadvertently drifted into the depths of the desolate space.
That one glance made him stop in his tracks again, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In the deepest part of that shattered space, not far from the dragon bones of the Thunder Emperor True Dragon, a towering ancient tree was growing!
The ancient tree soared into the clouds, its trunk so thick that it would take thousands of people holding hands to encircle it, and its trunk was entirely greenish-blue.
It is covered with crisscrossing patterns, like the scales of a blue dragon, emitting a faint blue light.
The ancient tree has lush foliage, layer upon layer, blocking out the sun. Each leaf is crystal clear, shimmering with emerald green light.
The roots of the ancient tree are deeply embedded in a broken piece of land.
What shocked Ye Yang even more was that this ancient tree was actually emitting the same Azure Dragon Daoist charm as the Azure Dragon Daoist Scripture.
If he hadn't copied the Azure Dragon Dao Scripture before, he certainly wouldn't have discovered the wonder of this divine tree. (End of Chapter)
