Chapter 527 - 319: The Ancestor Dragon Appears
The appearance of Bai Ling gave hope to the Human Race.
Gu Ning struggled to get up from the ground, feeling the powerful force emanating from Bai Ling, feeling somewhat uncomfortable at this moment.
This power was supposed to belong to him.
But now he also understood that this power no longer belonged to him.
He quickly got up and left the place.
At this moment, everyone in the city was retreating, leaving the battlefield to the final duel between a human and a demon.
.....
Lin Chen helped the Great Elder out of the city gates. As they looked back, Liu Gu asked worriedly, "Can she do it?"
He was indeed concerned about Bai Ling’s combat strength. If it were Lin Chen, he would not worry about this issue.
In combat, Lin Chen was clearly more powerful.
If Lin Chen had gained this power, Liu Gu would undoubtedly believe that Lin Chen could definitely win.
It was only at this moment that Liu Gu realized that he had unknowingly developed a kind of implicit trust in Lin Chen’s combat strength.
At this moment above Eight Trigrams City, Bai Ling and the Nine Netherworld Snake were facing off. The latter looked at Bai Ling and smiled, "It seems this was Zhong Nan’s scheme. It’s a pity he never got this power in the end."
"If he had gained this power, he wouldn’t have died."
"It’s really a pity; ultimately, it was the Human Race that harmed him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling said, "I am the direct disciple of the teacher. It is my duty to inherit his will, eliminate you, the Demon King, and bring peace to the world, just the same."
"Little girl with a big mouth."
The Nine Netherworld Snake suddenly flicked its tail, soaring into the air. It displayed nine different colors on its body, and as the nine energies converged, the force exploded in an instant.
Bai Ling was not one to be outdone; she summoned the Spirit Dragon and stood on the dragon’s back, wielding the Dragon Transformation Skill.
"Kill!"
She commanded coldly, like a goddess, ordering the Spirit Dragon to fly at high speed.
The Spirit Dragon and the Nine Netherworld Snake collided fiercely, and a massive explosion of energy burst forth, creating an enormous vortex of energy within a hundred-meter radius centered on the collision.
"Such power...."
Just after the first clash, the momentum was so overwhelming that those fleeing were drenched in sweat, hurriedly escaping to farther places.
At the moment the massive vortex of energy burst open, the surrounding trees and stones were all vaporized, and the central area of the entire city caved in directly.
Yet Bai Ling and the Nine Netherworld Snake seemed unaffected, showing no emotional disturbance at all.
"This is probably the first time in nearly a hundred years that the Cangling Ancient Country has witnessed a battle at the Immortal Beast Level," someone said.
Those around expressed their agreement.
The last time Zhong Nan fought the Nine Netherworld Snake, Zhong Nan’s power apparently wasn’t at the Immortal Beast Level.
But Bai Ling is different; although her Spirit Beast hasn’t reached the Immortal Beast Level, she is now imbued with the Power of Dragon Vein from the entire country.
This kind of power is inevitably at the Immortal Beast Level.
.....
In the sky, black clouds rolled as a torrential rain poured down, and Bai Ling and the Nine Netherworld Snake finally launched a second wave of attacks.
Only to see Bai Ling command the White Dragon to leap upward, presenting a Dragon Fighting stance.
But unlike the Dragon Fighting stance that Gu Ning displayed in the past, this was a complete Dragon Fighting stance.
Only to see the Spirit Dragon soar upward and then transform into a golden lightning bolt, charging toward the Nine Netherworld Snake.
The Nine Netherworld Snake swung its tail, engaging in a physical confrontation.
Boom, boom, boom~~~
With every clash between the Spirit Dragon and the Nine Netherworld Snake, a booming sound resonated across the horizon.
After the eighth round, their power once again escalated a level, finally breaking through the spatial barrier.
"Such terrifying power..."
Someone saw the moment the space hole appeared and finally understood why it’s so difficult to break through to the Immortal Beast Realm.
Because this power was just too terrifying.
They also understood that if the Nine Netherworld Snake were to launch a full-force attack toward the Celestial Capital, no one could stop it.
The Nine Netherworld Snake had never used its full force against them.
And even now, the Nine Netherworld Snake still hadn’t exhausted its full strength.
"The Power of Dragon Vein is indeed powerful, I want it!"
The Nine Netherworld Snake grew more excited as it fought, while the Spirit Dragon also shone brightly, transforming into a hundred-meter-long divine dragon, refusing to be outdone.
As both sides trembled, the Eight Trigrams City on the ground had already caved in, with many buildings all destroyed.
Yet, miraculously, the Spirit Dragon Platform, under such a powerful force, still stood firm.
....
"Have you noticed anything?" Lin Chen hurriedly asked the Great Elder.
A bit embarrassed.
Without the support of the Dragon Transformation Skill, Lin Chen couldn’t even discern their movements.
This is understandable; the level gap is just too vast.
"It’s still hard to determine the winner," the Great Elder said.
Lin Chen hurriedly added, "Isn’t Bai Ling struggling to wield the power? Why not guide her through sound transmission?"
The Great Elder rolled his eyes and said, "Bai Ling indeed isn’t adept at combat, but once she steps into the Immortal Realm, the Spirit Dragon itself will activate its combat instinct."
"That seems to be the case."
Lin Chen became increasingly anxious as he watched, feeling immensely nervous inside.
If even Bai Ling can’t defeat the opponent, then the future of the Cangling Ancient Country is bleak.
At this moment, Lin Chen finally relaxed his suspended heart.
He had been very afraid that Gu Ning and others would cheat in the middle. Now that Bai Ling genuinely gained this power, Lin Chen was happy for it.
By defeating the Nine Netherworld Snake, Bai Ling might even become the paramount figure of the Cangling Ancient Country.
Lin Chen wasn’t worried about Bai Ling turning bad after gaining power.
From what he knew of Bai Ling, her nature was simple, and her heart was kind.
Such a person, unless faced with significant setbacks and changes, would not alter her temperament.
On the contrary, someone like Gu Ning might see their ambition swell upon gaining power.
Perhaps this was also the concern of the Celestial Capital, as well as the real reason Bai Ling obtained this power.
"Come on! You can do it."
Lin Chen clenched his fist.
Bai Ling’s journey had indeed not been easy.
From birth, she had to battle illnesses and later got caught up in the Celestial Capital’s storm.
This girl subsequently sought the root of power, but she obtained power merely to protect herself and those around her.
But now she was different.
The burden she bore was the destiny of everyone in the Cangling Ancient Country.
As Lin Chen pondered, Bai Ling suddenly began forming seals again.
This time, not just one, but nine in succession.
Under the support of nine Dragon Transformation Skills, rays of golden light emerged around Bai Ling, followed by a terrifying occurrence, as nine resounding dragon roars echoed across the sky.
Nine platinum Spirit Dragons appeared around Bai Ling, encircling her, and finally transformed into a colossal divine dragon illusion.
It was lifelike, and all the Spirit Beasts present, seeing its form, knelt down in worship.
"Ancestor Dragon!"
"It’s the Ancestor Dragon!"
Someone shouted loudly, tears flashing in their eyes.
The Ancestor Dragon was the head of all dragons.
There were many legends about the Ancestor Dragon. Some say it was the first dragon in existence.
Others say the Ancestor Dragon was not the first but the most powerful dragon in existence.
No one had expected that on this day, the Ancestor Dragon would appear in the world in such a manner.
