Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Fire Burst!"

Watching the two giant dragons clashing in the distance, Yun Xiao suddenly shouted in a low voice. Immediately, the seal in his hand quietly changed, and the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon underwent a peculiar transformation.

On one side of the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon's body, countless blood-red flames erupted violently. These flames were condensed from Yun Xiao's Ancestral Vein Fire, possessing an extremely powerful burning force.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

When the explosive energy of these Ancestral Vein Fires splashed onto the Nether River Water Dragon's body, steam rose instantly, like boiling water being evaporated by the flames.

Even though it was a clone condensed from the Sacred Heavenly Spirit You River, facing such an overwhelming Ancestral Vein Fire, it struggled. If the flames were to completely evaporate its water dragon form, it would indeed be defeated.

Moreover, since the journey to Yanji Lake, Yun Xiao's Ancestral Vein Fire had acquired a trace of Chaos Fire aura, which had an extremely strong restraining effect on such water attribute strange spirits.

If it were ordinary flames, You River could extinguish them with a single thought using its water attribute. However, the sparks splashing from the giant dragon were like maggots attached to bones, causing it unbearable pain.

"Damn it, what kind of fire is this?"

A deep voice echoed from within the You River Dragon's mouth. It knew things couldn't continue this way. If it were burned and evaporated a few more times, its hard-earned Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit form would be thoroughly depleted.

This heavenly spirit was formed from a year's worth of You River's power. It could not simply allow it to be evaporated so easily, prompting it to take a different action.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The enormous water dragon body, its water-like scales suddenly burst open, and the droplets formed by the bursting scales intercepted the countless sparks as if equipped with a sensing device.

These scale droplets were stripped from You River's own body through some method. Although they were burned into steam by Yun Xiao's Ancestral Vein Fire, they could no longer harm its main body in the slightest.

"Thunder Explosion!"

At this moment, another deep shout came from Yun Xiao, and on the pair of thunder wings controlled by the giant dragon, numerous small silver electric balls separated out.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

These silver electric balls flickered with thunderous light, combined with the flare of Ancestral Vein Fire, creating a silvery-red visual feast in the sky, overwhelmingly beautiful.

Unfortunately, since You River had already devised a coping strategy, neither the exploding thunder pearls nor the Ancestral Vein Fire could harm it the slightest bit.

For from You River's water dragon body, more scales burst forth, forming more water droplets. These droplets sensed accurately, intercepting the fire and failing to deliver effective results.

"Ice Burst!"

Yun Xiao remained undeterred, emitting another shout. The Cold Attribute side of the giant dragon unleashed beams of cold air, ultimately freezing the water droplets of You River into solid ice.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Amidst the flickering silver light, countless frozen ice granules transformed into ice arrows, shooting towards the water dragon formed by You River with incredible speed.

However, such a robust ice granule attack, one that ordinary cultivators of the Floating Life Realm wouldn't dare to withstand, was effortlessly reabsorbed by the water dragon's body.

After all, this was an Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit strong being. Yun Xiao's previously unrivaled Ice Cold Ancestral Vein had met a match this time.

With You River's powerful water attribute, the solid ice turned back into water upon reabsorption, making it impossible to inflict any harm.

The giant dragons, controlled by both sides, engaged back and forth, yet neither could harm the other. For Yun Xiao, this outcome was already satisfactory, given that he was on the lower ranker side.

Yet for You River, who had its series of attacks deflected by the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, the situation was far from ideal, not producing the desired outcome.

You River intended to crush the Silver Winged Giant Dragon and swallow the human youth whole, hoping the absorbed power would greatly restore its strength.

But You River underestimated the human youth's combat prowess. The Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, formed by the power of eight Ancestor Veins, was an extraordinary technique rarely seen on the Nine Dragons Continent.

The stalemate with You River's water dragon was only due to Yun Xiao's Meridian Qi cultivation being one level of a small realm lower. Were they on the same level, it might have been the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon overwhelming everything.

"Break for me!"

Nonetheless, the clone condensed by You River was at the Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit level. Especially under such Meridian Techniques confrontation, Yun Xiao was slightly outmatched.

Boom!

So, after exchanging dozens of blows again, amidst the roar of You He, that Water Dragon finally smashed the body of the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, ending the confrontation between the two dragons with a result that satisfied it.

"Now it's your turn!"

In an extremely foul mood after shattering the Thunder Winged Giant Dragon, You He's dragon eyes shifted to the rough-clothed boy in the distance, a deep shout issuing forth, as the dragon body, dozens of meters long, charged furiously toward Yun Xiao.

A Water Dragon exuding a terrifying aura spanned the sky. In front of such a gigantic creature, the slender figure of Yun Xiao appeared insignificant, seemingly about to be swallowed whole into the dragon's belly in the next instant, never to exist again.

Seeing the Water Dragon charging in, Yun Xiao's expression also grew somewhat grim. At this moment, as he moved the seal in his hand, the Dragon Taming Sword, originally sheathed on his back, suddenly flew out of nowhere, stabbing swiftly towards that massive dragon body.

Whoosh!

A streak of black light, seemingly no match for the dragon, flashed. Though it appeared incapable of posing any threat to the Water Dragon, the black light made the dragon hesitate slightly, unwilling to confront the Dragon Taming Sword head-on.

It seemed that by now You He would no longer underestimate this boy, who seemed to be only at the early stage of the Floating Life Realm. That Wooden Sword, which looked unremarkable, may hide great power, a risk it was unwilling to take.

But after You He managed to dodge the Dragon Taming Sword's stab, the black light curved sharply in the air, once again darting towards the dragon's body, its aura unchanged.

"Damn, it's an Ancient Divine Artifact!"

Sensing the Wooden Sword flying in from behind, You He, well-informed as it was, realized that a weapon capable of changing positions at will in the air was no ordinary weapon, but an Ancient Divine Artifact that could be controlled at will.

No matter how fast You He was, it could never outrun the Dragon Taming Sword under Yun Xiao's control.

Despite its large size, the massive dragon body made it difficult for You He to determine which part of itself the small Wooden Sword would strike.

"Hmm?"

Just as You He dodged the Dragon Taming Sword once more, that Wooden Sword, which had been surrounded by black light, suddenly disappeared from its sight, causing the entire dragon's body to come to a halt.

The sudden disappearance of the Dragon Taming Sword did not lead You He to believe it had truly vanished. Instead, You He suspected it was preparing an even more powerful attack.

Thus, at that moment, You He refrained from attacking Yun Xiao, choosing to suppress its actions out of caution.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flickered in Yun Xiao's eyes. In fact, the previous strikes of the Dragon Taming Sword were merely intended to deceive You He.

The real trump card was Yun Xiao's use of the Dragon Taming Flying Concealment, which, under his control, allowed the Dragon Taming Sword to conceal its form and aura, now lying in hiding just a few meters in front of him.

Should You He dare to attack, the Dragon Taming Flying Concealment would be lying in wait, allowing the huge Water Dragon's body to crash into it, leaving the opponent even less able to defend.

Unfortunately, You He was too alert. Without seeing the Wooden Sword, which could pierce through anything, it remained cautious, leading to a bizarre stalemate in the sky between man and spirit.

"Why aren't you attacking? Is that all you've got?"

Noticing the Water Dragon floating inertly in the sky, a peculiar smile appeared on Yun Xiao's face, his words causing You He's Water Dragon form to shudder violently.

"Indeed! Just a mere boy at the early stage of the Floating Life Realm, what am I so afraid of?"

Provoked by Yun Xiao, even You He felt somewhat inexplicably cautious. Despite the sharpness of the Wooden Sword, it followed a traceable path, and as long as the human controlling the Wooden Sword was dispatched, the threat would dissolve on its own.

Realizing this, You He found its previous caution and hesitation laughable—since when did an Alien Spirit Power as a superior stand so cautiously against a human Cultivator of lower rank?

"Roar!"

Hence, in the next moment, the Nether River Water Dragon let out a fierce roar, and the Water Dragon, dozens of meters long, once again pounced fiercely at Yun Xiao.

This time, it charged without hesitation.

And seeing this, a glimmer of cunning success flashed in the depths of Yun Xiao's eyes—these Alien Spirits truly are simplistic; such a crude provocation easily changed their minds completely.

Meanwhile, Yun Xiao subtly changed the seal in his hand. The Dragon Taming Sword, hidden in the air, resembled a leopard lurking in the Dark Night. As soon as the opportunity arose, it would deliver a fatal strike to its prey.

A duel between brute strength and hidden tactics may find its conclusion in the very next moment.
