Chapter 814 - 809: Old Dragon Mother!?
Before Lü Yang’s voice had faded, [Dao Without Borders] was already activated preemptively, cutting off all avenues of retreat for the Old Dragon Monarch and making it difficult for him to shift his position.
In the next second, a sharp dragon roar resounded thunderously:
"ROAR!!!"
The Old Dragon Monarch parted his lips, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth. The corners of his mouth split all the way to the ends of his cheeks, and his bloody maw snapped shut toward Lü Yang.
[Heaven and Earth Calm Dragon Tooth]!
This Magic was refined by the Old Dragon Monarch before the Pocket World Technique was even born. Although he had refined it to the Middle Extreme Ring, he stopped there, unable to advance even an inch further.
Were it not so, given his age and the fact that he used his own dragon teeth to refine it, he should have cultivated this Magic to the Perfection Level of the Celestial Immortal Great Vow by now. At that point, the power of the Magic could even be used as an ordinary Fruit Position Profound Mysterious, which would be enough to elevate his combat strength by an entire tier out of thin air.
Unfortunately, a difference of one step was often as vast as the gap between Heaven and Earth.
Although [Heaven and Earth Calm Dragon Tooth], which had only been refined to the Middle Extreme Ring, was still extremely powerful, it fell somewhat short when facing the current Lü Yang.
"BOOM!"
In an instant, with a deafening explosion, Lü Yang held Heaven up with his left hand and covered Earth with his right, forcefully wedging the bloody maw open right as it was about to snap shut!
Immediately after, the Jade Maiden beside Lü Yang let out a long howl. Under the enhancement of Lü Yang’s Mana, she exploded and dissolved, transforming into a boundless sea of insects. Accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound, the swarm surged along the wedged-open bloody maw and poured entirely into the Old Dragon Monarch’s body!
"ROAR!?"
Seeing this, the Old Dragon Monarch’s expression slightly changed. He knew how formidable the Qi-eating Insects were, so he naturally wouldn’t act carelessly. He immediately withdrew his Magic.
The next second, the bloody maw vanished. The Old Dragon Monarch took a step back, puffed up his cheeks, and then exhaled with a heavy snort, unexpectedly spitting the swarm of Qi-eating Insects that had just surged into his body right back out.
Yet even so, his face suddenly turned ashen.
[All Evil Beheaded]!
The sea of Qi-eating Insects was merely a minor trick; the true threat was the Talent Skill that accompanied it. In just a short instant, it had already stacked ten layers of Slaying Marks!
"This is bad!"
Having suffered a loss from this once before, the Old Dragon Monarch was naturally prepared this time. He immediately covered his entire body with the Profound Mysterious of [Fruit of Vast-Sea Water], intending to isolate Lü Yang’s curse.
However, how could a Talent Skill verified by the [Centome] possibly miss?
[Judgment: You have surpassed the target in the Magic Domain. The opponent has fallen into a weakened state.]
Right as the Old Dragon Monarch’s Qi trace plummeted, a golden light rose from Lü Yang’s palm, flashing into the Old Dragon Monarch’s pupils like a fleeting glimpse.
"PFFT!"
Lightning struck his face, instantly shattering half of the Old Dragon Monarch’s visage. Blood flowed freely, making his old face incomparably hideous and ferocious in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, a deep blue Illusionary Color had already spread out. Wherever it passed, space became viscous, as if weighed down by endless mountains. It made one feel as though they had suddenly fallen from solid land to the bottom of the Vast Ocean. Then, a faint murmuring sound echoed leisurely between Heaven and Earth.
"Come, throw yourself into Mother’s embrace...
"All things in Heaven and Earth are born with a Spiritual nature.
"I want you to bear a child for me..."
The murmurs pierced the ears like demonic voices. Even if one sealed their hearing and locked their Spiritual Space, they couldn’t be stopped, causing Lü Yang’s movements to abruptly halt on the spot.
Almost simultaneously, the lightning around him, the Magical Power Mechanism radiating outward, his clothes, and the surrounding Qi-eating Insects all underwent changes. In an instant, countless consciousnesses emerged. Every consciousness called out "Mommy," and then directed intense malice toward him!
"You want to kill Mommy? You want to harm Mommy!
"Bad guy!"
These tender, newborn consciousnesses were completely loyal to the Old Dragon Monarch. Furthermore, this Profound Mysterious that birthed consciousness was continuously spreading deeper into his body.
What was even more bizarre—this wasn’t an injury! Strictly speaking, this was an enhancement, a boon, because Spiritual nature was inherently a gift from Heaven and Earth... Therefore, it couldn’t be transferred away as damage.
"What a wonderful Profound Mysterious!"
Lü Yang laughed heartily and firmly formed a Daoist Hand Seal. A tiny candlelight suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into bright flames that swept across his entire body, inside and out.
[Holding Candle]!
The Profound Mysterious of [Fruit of Lamp-Cover Fire] could see into the obscure and detect the minute. Under the illumination of the firelight, Lü Yang quickly saw the streaks of colorless Spiritual nature permeating his body.
Immediately after, he changed his Daoist Hand Seal. [Dao Without Borders] coalesced into an expanse of yellow brilliance, landing right between him and the Old Dragon Monarch to form a path connecting the two. However, the next second, the brilliance shattered and the path broke off, completely severing the connection between the Old Dragon Monarch and himself.
"BOOM!"
As the path broke, the influence of the [Heaven and Earth Root] acting upon Lü Yang immediately decayed and faded into nothingness, evidently isolated by him.
"Damn [Fruit of Post-Road Earth]!"
The Old Dragon Monarch’s eyes twitched slightly at the sight. "When the path opens, nothing can hinder it. When the path closes, the Ten Thousand Laws cannot touch it... If that were all, it would be fine."
The key was the Position. The other party possessed all four elements, making his Position roughly equal to his own Emperor Fruit. This was the only reason the effects of [Dao Without Borders] were brought to their Extreme!
Otherwise, if it were the Daoist Court Grand Tutor standing here, he would have long beaten him into crying for his mommy!
"Is Heaven truly trying to destroy my Dragon Race...?"
For a moment, sorrow surged from the Old Dragon Monarch’s heart and anger flared in his guts. However, the approaching Lü Yang made his gaze sharpen, and he finally made a decision.
"Forget it, forget it.
"Even if I can only give birth to one a year from now on, I’ll accept it!"
The next second, the Old Dragon Monarch suddenly raised his head. The injuries Lü Yang had just inflicted had completely vanished, and his pair of dragon pupils suddenly glowed with endless Talisman brilliance.
Almost at the same time, Lü Yang realized that the [Dao Without Borders] protecting his body was violently shattered by an unparalleled, Vast Ocean-like Mighty Power that locked directly onto his Dharma Body. Immediately after, he saw his lower abdomen uncontrollably start to bulge, almost to the point of bursting his belly!
"What the fuck... My Incense and Candle Avatar is pregnant!?"
Lü Yang was dumbfounded. His only thought was that it was a good thing he was cautious and hadn’t come in his true body; otherwise, his lifelong reputation would have been ruined in an instant...
However, the next second, severe abdominal pain interrupted his thoughts.
[Heaven and Earth Root]!
At this moment, the Old Dragon Monarch had already pushed this Fruit Position Profound Mysterious to its Extreme. He had actually abandoned his countless years of persistence to completely embrace the [Fruit of Vast-Sea Water]!
Looking at the Old Dragon Monarch again, his originally burly figure gradually became graceful, developing alluring curves...
Lü Yang’s eyelids twitched violently.
The moment the Old Dragon Monarch discarded his primary gender, his utilization of the [Fruit of Vast-Sea Water] finally broke through a certain bottleneck, fiercely ascending to the Peak!
The Fruit Position Profound Mysterious was sublimated!
"Is this the fucking Magic Instrument of the [Fruit of Vast-Sea Water]? Refining oneself until you change genders? What kind of garbage Fruit is this... No wonder he was demoted from the Supreme Venerable back then!"
Lü Yang cursed loudly in his heart.
Even so, his response remained calm and collected. With a slight Heart Thought, a golden brilliance slowly rippled out from his body.
[Gradual Formation]!
This was the nurturing Profound Mysterious of the [Fruit of River-Sand Gold]. Originally, it was unsuitable for Combat. Yet at this moment, a pregnant Lü Yang perfectly aligned with this Profound Mysterious!
The next second, Lü Yang sliced open his own belly, pulled out an infant, and casually tossed it onto the ground. He watched it grow into an adult in the blink of an eye, ultimately transforming into a new Incense and Candle Avatar. Impressively, he had relied on the nurturing Profound Mysterious of the [Fruit of River-Sand Gold] to forcibly take over the gestating child.
But this was only temporary. After all, this was a child gestated by the [Fruit of Vast-Sea Water]. Ultimately, it would still fall under the control of the [Fruit of Vast-Sea Water]; Lü Yang had merely seized temporary control.
"Commit suicide."
Lü Yang showed no mercy toward his "child," immediately slapping it into ashes. Almost simultaneously, his face abruptly turned pale.
Although he had interrupted the gestation process in time and used premature birth to avoid having all his Spiritual Essence completely drained by the "child," the child’s birth still caused a massive deficit for this Incense and Candle Avatar. Its originally complete Mana dropped to sixty percent, while its vitality and Profound Mysterious also experienced a certain decline.
"You can stop me once, but can you stop me a second time?"
The Old Dragon Monarch gritted her teeth. "I even gave up the breeding future of the True Dragon Race. As a price, no matter what, you must bear a child for me today!"
At this moment, the Old Dragon Monarch had thoroughly completed the transformation.
Her originally aged voice turned into a slightly hoarse, mature woman’s voice. Her aquatic blue long hair cascaded down, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.
O-Old Dragon Mother!?
