Chapter 448 - 228: The Truth of the Peach Blossom Spring
Celestial Dragon!
At the moment the gigantic creature appeared, Chu Xiu realized its identity.
It was a being several times larger than the Earth Dragon; its body width exceeded two hundred meters, and the length was even more outrageous. Though most of it was hidden within the pipeline, it definitely surpassed ten kilometers—larger than the city’s diameter!
Its appearance resembled the Earth Dragon, except its body no longer bore any snake-like characteristics. The skin was no longer slick with scales but was hard, reflecting a metallic sheen, like some special alloy, and the head was no longer serpent-like, but a strange thing with long horns covered in plates like drill bits.
The Celestial Dragon rising into the sky seemed to yank the city’s backbone, causing the entire land to begin cracking!
The nearby people, shaken, screamed in panic, while those further away stared blankly at the city center, at the gigantic figure soaring upwards.
Civilians, soldiers, generals, even the Buddhist Elders were struck dumb by this scene, not knowing how to respond.
"Is this... the Celestial Dragon?"
Confronted with such a colossal entity, humanity would be awakened to its most primitive fear—an ingrained terror of immense objects!
Meanwhile, a massive amount of black mist began surging into the body of the Celestial Dragon. The densely packed Energy Relics on its body gradually turned from a glowing white to a deep black!
"Is it seeking a hiding shell?"
Chu Xiu squinted slightly.
He had slain the original body of the Heaven Being. Without a host, even with the power of Heaven, it could not exist for long.
With this thought, Chu Xiu waved the Soul Banner once more, releasing more Ghosts to search and rescue the city’s residents, gathering and transferring them outward.
Chu Xiu had an ominous premonition. After losing its body, the other party was most likely going to go for a desperate final move.
Although he was not afraid for himself, he was worried that the ordinary people without power would be affected.
Just as Chu Xiu was contemplating, suddenly a resonant dragon roar echoed from the giant figure at the city center!
The sound was ancient and grand, as if a God who had been asleep for millennia was awakening!
Suddenly, steam erupted from the Celestial Dragon’s entire body! The light of the Energy Relics was rapidly absorbed, as if all the Heaven Being’s energy had poured into the Celestial Dragon!
A ghastly face emerged atop its head, glaring down at Chu Xiu, and letting out a shrill roar!
"Civilization Envoy, I will make you pay!"
As the words fell, a terrifying scene unfolded. The Celestial Dragon abruptly raised its head; the drill-like head split in eight directions, revealing a massive cannon barrel inside.
The next moment, a concentrated energy beam, hundreds of meters thick, shot skyward!
"Boom!!!"
With a deafening thunder, the energy beam effortlessly obliterated all obstacles in its path! The rock wall, hardened over countless millennia, crumbled at the moment of contact with the beam, spreading and collapsing in all directions!
"Rumble!"
Like mountains, the thick rock wall broke apart continuously, giant boulders the size of houses fell like a meteor shower!
But this was not even the most terrifying part. As the energy beam surged, more rock walls collapsed, until finally, the entire layer was dislodged, disintegrating into countless gigantic stones crashing down!
This scene was as if—the sky itself was falling!
And the sky that was collapsing consisted of millions of tons of rock!
Everyone stared in shock at this natural disaster-like scene, their eyes filled with utter terror, even Liang Zhan and the Buddhist Elders were stunned, faces full of fear!
Even they, in the face of this calamity, had no power to resist!
The entire sky pressed down, even a Martial Artist who had reached the peak of Martial Dao could only await death like an ordinary mortal! Can the sharpest blade pierce through the collapsing sky?
Just as everyone was plunged into despair, Chu Xiu’s figure stood against the downpouring rain of gigantic stones.
"Humph."
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as the Blood Demon Incarnation behind him suddenly burst, spreading boundlessly in a bloody hue!
[Blood Sea Domain]!
In a blink, a massive blood-colored arc, a million square meters wide, formed!
It was like a dome covering the area where the residents gathered, and the next instant, an incredible scene happened. The millions of tons of rock rain fell onto the Blood Sea Domain and were decomposed into countless tiny fragments, as if corroded by some unimaginably strong acid, scattering in all directions!
"This!"
The crowd, who had previously thought death was certain, were once again stunned by the divine-like spectacle above their heads.
When the sky finally returned to calm and all of the rock was blocked, a thunderous cheer erupted below!
"Buddha, Buddha saves the world!"
An elderly man wept with joy: "To witness a miracle of Buddha in my lifetime, my life is worth it!"
Everyone instinctively knelt down, prostrating towards the sky in worship of Chu Xiu!
However, in the face of this worship, Chu Xiu’s face did not show a hint of pride, but instead was extremely solemn!
He looked towards the Blood Demon Incarnation beside him.
Previously, the Blood Demon Incarnation had suffered multiple severe injuries, even having its body half-shattered during battles with the Asura.
Yet even then, Chu Xiu had not been worried in the slightest, because he knew very well how resilient the Life Force of the Blood Demon Incarnation was.
