Chapter 1440 Hidden Mystery
The momentum on the blood-red desert grew ever stronger, but the boy standing in the center wore an increasingly astonished expression. He seemed humiliated, or perhaps he hadn't expected this at all. His vertical pupils glared hatefully at his surroundings as he said:
"You... an ancestor with a human body of two hundred years... How laughable... How laughable! Li Zhouwei! Two hundred years have passed, and since you claim to have lived nine generations, what is there that cannot be diluted? Even if you've been holding onto this resentment in your heart, with your sons begetting grandsons, and your grandsons begetting sons, it should have been released long ago. Why bother making up such excuses to fob me off!"
"Boom!"
The sunlight and rain collided on the Blood Desert, and the rolling green water mingled with the golden light. Before anyone knew it, the King of Wei had broken through the blood light and trampled on the body of the evil dragon.
He raised his fist, pushing "Danger of the King" and "Black Soul Demon Body" to their limits, and his iron fist crashed down!
A muffled groan echoed through the sky as the body slammed heavily onto the ground. Canlufu rolled over, its long tail already slamming into the Qilin, but the Qilin remained unmoved, unleashing another punch in its face.
"Rumble..."
In a mere instant, no matter how he retaliated, hundreds of cold punches landed on his body. Even with the combined power of the two divine abilities, 'Cleansing Dew' and 'Cave Spring Sound,' which were enough to neutralize over 80% of the force, this descendant of the dragon had no choice but to cough up blood. As if humiliated, he roared:
"ridiculous!"
Having not heard the King of Wei's voice, the young man sneered:
"I don't believe it... that you're the only one in your family who died a violent death? It's just that I'm famous and a demon, so they coveted my life and captured me to beat me. Why make up such a reason!"
As the dawn light flickered, the young man in the setting sun finally spoke, quietly saying:
"You don't need to worry about how I take revenge. Just do what's rightfully yours. Don't think too highly of yourself. You're not insignificant, but you're not the heaviest."
The combined light of the water poured down, striking the demon in the back and sending it crashing onto the blood-red desert. Meanwhile, the light of the moon rained down from the other side, striking its scales and armor with a clanging sound. Shen Lu Fu, seemingly consumed by hatred, ignored the surrounding supernatural powers and laughed:
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
"What, you have even higher ambitions? Hold onto your life and go dream your destined retribution!"
Divine powers flickered throughout the heavens and earth. This descendant of the dragon's body was far too powerful and enormous, yet he moved with ease amidst these numerous tests. His ugly face was illuminated by the flickering flames of the heavens. In the midst of the exploding light, the youth wiped the blood from his sleeves, and his magical body resumed its normal function, without a single scratch. His cold voice rang out:
I don't believe in fate or retribution.
A bright golden light flashed suddenly, like a shooting star traversing the Blood Desert, crashing down on the colossal creature's body. Li Zhouwei stood with his halberd held horizontally and said:
"I will repay kindness and vengeance, good and evil, myself!"
The sound, imbued with heavenly light, exploded across the sky. Canlu Fu, however, remained unconvinced. She raised her hand, stopping the descending flames, and her ethereal radiance rose continuously as she laughed:
"I understand now, Li Zhouwei. Your nine-generation feud is clearly unrelated to you!"
"You're so successful, but you know you're just a grasshopper in autumn, you won't be able to jump around for much longer. You're feeling bitter, so you're taking it out on me!"
The water and fire in the sky rippled back and forth, finally extinguishing the layers of thin mist. The enormous demonic body rolled and was already held back by the halberd. Li Zhouwei sneered:
“Back then, you and Chi Wei conspired to create elixirs, which harmed my ancestors. When the news reached the mountains, all my ancestors were filled with grief… You’re right, this anger was weighing on their hearts, and with the passing of their loved ones, there was no chance to vent it.”
He stepped forward, speaking calmly:
"It's too late to vent my anger, but it's never too late for revenge. Killing you won't bring me much satisfaction, but..."
Those golden eyes opened in the darkness, staring coldly at him:
"You'll never feel truly happy again."
The billowing clouds drifted through the heavens and earth, pushing all the flames back to the sky. The enormous demonic body then began to roam within the clouds, its voice like thunder.
"ridiculous!"
His voice resonated, and the white-clad man in the sky frowned, his two fingers clenched together as if holding a point of white light, before he crashed down from the sky:
"The Land of Startled Magpies"!
Then the moonlight surged, and the fluttering snowflakes, accompanied by a rustling sound, crashed down. The dark moon, like a bright moon, came from the void, dispelling all the rain and mist, and landed heavily on the head of the evil dragon.
But the boy only took one step, and the illusory shadow remained in the past. He actually broke free from the light of the moon. He didn't even need to look at Fuxuan in the sky. Instead, he held up the rain and disappeared.
『丑癸藏』.
But the instant his figure vanished, the white-robed man merely sneered, flipped his palm, revealing a palm-sized Xuan Token, and shone it around:
[The Shadow Appears!]
As soon as this treasure appeared, the various rain and mists that filled the sky reappeared, and the enormous demon body could no longer hide. Sure enough, it had already traveled to the east.
Faced with the menacing dragon, Li Zhouwei, with the power of this magical treasure, could see clearly, raised his hands, and swiftly seized the two horns in the rain and mist, causing billowing black flames to rise up.
With both hands exerting force, the white light of "Jun Dao Wei" shone brightly, and his cultivation was pushed to its limit. With a deafening roar, the huge demon head was pressed onto the desert!
"Boom!"
The Great Master He Shui in the sky had already raised his hand, and the small golden box shone brightly, like a whirlwind sweeping away the rain and dew in the world, and smashed the rolling fire that had been prepared beforehand onto the body of the demon.
Hearing violent tumbling and crackling sounds, even though Canlu Fu was not afraid of the fire, she was still horrified:
"They really came prepared!"
But his heart had gradually calmed down, and he thought to himself:
'It must be because Di Yan didn't make a move, otherwise why would he need so many magical treasures? If I just drag them all down with me, they won't need to guard me in the sky. With a single turn of my divine power, who could catch me?'
His dragon eyes were already bloodshot. Two consecutive supernatural powers had been suppressed by the spiritual treasure, and his heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave. With all his might, he finally managed to pull the two horns out of his opponent's hands. His body rolled over, and the huge tail came flying through the air, lashing out at the red-robed Grand Master in mid-air, while countless winds and rains manifested at the same time:
"The Sound of the Cave Spring".
He was, after all, a great demon with perfect supernatural powers. Even though he was suppressed by many forces, this tail, aided by the "Cave Spring Sound," was unpredictable. The old master was still manipulating the Li Fire and was unable to defend himself for a moment. The spirit pearl in his hand flew out like a meteor and sank into the earth with a bang!
The power of that single strike was truly astounding!
With one person no longer able to restrain it, the demon's ferocity surged. It raised one of its demonic claws high, single-handedly suppressing the river of demons that was leaping towards it. Its blood-red maw gaped open, and it roared fiercely:
【Qingtang's Turbid and Evil Spiritual Light】!
In an instant, ten thousand streaks of azure spread out, the clouds and mist dissipated, and the 'Crimson Arrowhead' that had enveloped the heavens and earth actually showed thousands of cracks amidst the tremors, as if a mountain of ten thousand jun had fallen from the sky, shaking everyone's supernatural powers, sealing off one spiritual treasure after another, and suppressing them all.
Liao Luo was the first to be hit. His supernatural powers were broken by the shout, the spiritual treasure in his hand lost its luster, and his eyes became confused and dark. Ji An had just leaped over from the collapsed mountain range and was also hit by this demonic spell. Surprisingly, a flame of fire flickered between his eyebrows, which helped him to stabilize his position.
Li Zhouwei had already charged forward, empowered by the "Dao Wei" skill, and charged through the blue light with unstoppable momentum, advancing instead of retreating, his halberd already slashing down from the sky!
"Boom!"
The halberd, though as thin as a needle, struck the evil dragon, causing its head to rise high. The azure light that filled the heavens and earth also rapidly diminished. Canlu Fu shook her head, but the rolling mist had already enveloped the world.
The [Precious Heart Ruyi Box] was thrown into disarray by this demon, and "Like Heavy Turbidity" returned. Canlu Fu was even more ferocious, and with a sudden clash of its two claws, it slammed the King of Wei, who was in mid-air, to the ground!
"Boom!"
Then came the enormous, sprawling demonic body. This evil dragon had already coiled up, its body covered in layers of azure light, attempting to imprison the King of Wei under its supernatural powers.
Unexpectedly, the white-clad man in the sky let out a cold laugh and said:
"You old beast! You dare to resist!"
"Unbearably cold!"
A sharp, clear light swept across the sky, shattering the Great Immortal and his treasure box from the chaotic light. The clouds and mist in the sky immediately subsided and dissipated in an instant, revealing the vast expanse of light. The young man coldly shouted:
"He's trying to run!"
Sure enough, the moment the clouds dissipated, the enormous demonic body vanished. The boy's figure moved like a ghost, neutralizing the successive attacks that rained down on him, leaving behind a cold laugh in mid-air:
"With my powers fully realized, how many in the world can kill me?"
This old fellow had been putting on an act for quite some time, all to drag the other three Grand Masters into the fray at the same time, so they wouldn't have to stand in the sky and watch the battle anymore. In this way, he would be confident that when he used his supernatural powers to escape, no one would be able to stop him in time!
At this moment, the 'Cleansing Dew' was operating at full power, and his figure became transparent like water ripples, changing unpredictably. He passed through all the supernatural powers that had previously trapped him, and even avoided the falling Taiyin light. Suddenly, he arrived on the mountain.
"The great mission is accomplished!"
And in the next instant, his fifth supernatural power, which he had been hiding all along, finally shone:
"Fountain of Rebirth"!
The last supernatural power that the old dragon had concealed within itself for many years was actually the "Female Water," and even more so, the great supernatural power within the "Female Water" that possessed boundless vitality and the ability to regenerate!
His horrific injuries were like a fleeting afterimage, vanishing in a flash. His figure was suddenly reflected, flashing over a green pond deep in the mountains. He didn't take the treasures on either side; instead, he activated all five supernatural powers simultaneously, and the demon's figure disappeared again, already far away!
This was truly terrifying. The Green Water was water transformed from rain and dew. This old dragon possessed perfect supernatural powers and was extremely cautious. This leap, which damaged its vital energy, would have taken Li Zhouwei and the others a full thirty breaths to catch up...
By the time they caught up, the old demon had already flown off to who-knows-where. No wonder he was so confident that few in the world could kill him!
"The 'Looting Dew' practically ignored all the suppression in the world; with all four of its emerald water divine powers operating simultaneously, unless he intentionally sought death, who could stop him?"
Faced with the empty space before them, the four of them were momentarily stunned, but they did not show much tension.
It turned out that Fu Xuan had received this reminder, and in time, he circulated his energy, his expression turned solemn, and a mouthful of blood was suddenly spat into his palm. The Xuan Shan, which had been sitting still in his hand, finally trembled and shone brightly.
Li Zhouwei, who had been standing with his halberd in hand, raised his hand and spread his five fingers. In his palm lay a small, black, glass-like scale fragment.
It is indeed a dragon scale!
While the three Great Immortals sealed off the surroundings, it wasn't just this old dragon who was scheming. Li Zhouwei punched him dozens of times, not hesitating to exchange injuries for injuries, causing this descendant of the dragon to have his scales broken, all for this moment!
The Grand Master of the Taiyin Dao received the scale that was carried by the bright sunlight, gently tossed the treasure aside, clasped his hands together, and respectfully said:
"Respectfully inviting the Taiyin Divine Treasury!"
After saying this, he spat out blood again.
Having received the lifeblood of the two great immortals of Taiyin, this spiritual treasure finally shone brightly, its top covered in lush greenery. Fu Xuan gripped it with all his might and suddenly the mountain was turned upside down!
Then something emerged from the mountain, struggling in mid-air. It broke out from the Yin energy, and the surroundings suddenly turned white. It was a young man wearing scales!
It is indeed the fragrance of ginseng!
The boy had a big smile on his face, and there wasn't a trace of injury on his body!
The old demon ran for a while, and the Piaoren Kingdom was already in sight. But then, with a flash of divine power, he found himself back surrounded by the four immortals. He stood there, stunned, his mind blank for a moment.
"what?"
But what's even more terrifying is that Fu Xuan has already flown high into the air, sitting cross-legged, with the Xuan Mountain in his hand spinning and flying while locking him in place, its clear light shining through!
[The Mysterious Light Hidden in the Taiyin Divine Treasury]!
The old demon seemed to have been struck on the head, spitting out a little blood and staggering back several steps, but then regained his footing. He felt a cool sensation filling his mind and thought to himself:
"broken!"
But it all seemed like an illusion, coming and going quickly. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that there was nothing wrong with him. He looked at the blood in his palm with some confusion and looked up.
Upon closer inspection, he finally sensed that something was amiss.
That vertical demonic pupil had enlarged into a pure black sphere, almost filling his entire eye. His aura remained unchanged, but his hand trembled as he slowly touched his brow.
One after another, streams of emerald water divine power shone from his body, intermingling and reflecting the light of female water, like four pillars of light standing tall in the world.
The only thing missing was the "Looting Dew".
One of his supernatural powers disappeared.
It wasn't blocked, it wasn't damaged, it wasn't dimmed; it simply vanished in an instant.
This "Looting Dew" was clearly something he obtained with his life, the very foundation of his existence. Let alone whether ordinary cultivators could cultivate it, even if they could, they couldn't obtain seven-tenths of it. It should have been intertwined with his life. If his supernatural power was damaged, it meant his foundation was damaged. As long as he was alive, this supernatural power could not possibly dissipate.
But it just disappeared so abruptly.
The mysteries of being a descendant of the dragon still remain within him, and the various spells still linger in his heart, but the 'Cleansing Dew' upon which he relies is nowhere to be found.
'The Yin contains the mystery…'
The monster's eyes were filled with utter disbelief. Looking at the mocking, cold gazes around it, it raised its head and murmured:
"What...treasure is this...?"
