Chapter 44 Suppressing the Dragon Clan, Chunyang Strikes
Above the East Sea, the fierce battle continued intensely, the Ancestral Dragon unleashed all its powers; the Ancestral Dragon Pearl summoned the might of the Four Seas, transforming into boundless water elemental divine abilities.
At times, it took the form of billions of roaring water dragons charging forth; at times, it condensed into endless mystical ice freezing everything.
At other times, it summoned heavy waters from the nine heavens to suppress all things. The power of a quasi-Sage was enough to strike fear into the hearts of any Great Dao Golden Immortal.
However, Chu Yuan was like an ancient, immovable reef, standing firm despite the wind and waves, unmoved. The Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus hovered above his head, its cascading billions of pure world light forming an absolute defense. It purified and neutralized all attacks.
Although the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing the source of water, the Pure World White Lotus was also a supreme treasure, blessed by the legacy of the Chaotic Azure Lotus, unparalleled in defense, specializing in countering all methods.
Though the Ancestral Dragon’s attacks were fierce, they could never break through the lotus’s protection, not to mention Chu Yuan’s own indestructible Xuanyellow Merit Body.
While defending, Chu Yuan’s counterattack never ceased. The Primordial Chaos Heaven-Measurement Ruler wielded freely, each strike carrying terrifying chaotic sword qi. Where the sword qi passed, the void shattered, cutting through everything. The mighty quasi-Saint dragon body of the Ancestral Dragon was continuously torn open by the attacks of the Judgment Heaven Scale, golden dragon blood spilling into the Eastern Sea.
Although the Nine-Nine Profound Yin Array was constantly damaged under the quasi-Saint’s assault, it still operated tenaciously thanks to Chu Yuan’s maintenance and the continuous absorption of the world’s killing energy by the 365 killing-energy banners.
Four Great Luo Gu Corpses and over a hundred Taiyi Gu Corpses fought fiercely without fear of death. Though they couldn’t deal a fatal blow to the Ancestral Dragon, they greatly distracted him, preventing him from fully focusing his attacks on Chu Yuan.
After days of such fierce fighting, the Ancestral Dragon grew more and more alarmed and frustrated. The grand ancestor of the Dragon Clan, the sovereign of the primordial world, a powerful quasi-Saint, was actually pushed into such a predicament by a single Taiyi Golden Immortal!
His defense could not be broken, his attacks were sharp beyond measure, and he wielded the power of merit that restrained demons and filth, which also suppressed the dragon energy of the Dragon Clan!
Not to mention the mysterious great array and the undead corpses that couldn’t be killed. If this continued, even if he eventually wore down his opponent, he would suffer great injuries to his vital energy and might even fall in cultivation level!
With the calamity approaching and strong enemies surrounding him, this was a cost he absolutely could not bear!
“Enough!”
The Ancestral Dragon weighed the pros and cons in his heart and finally made a difficult decision. No humiliation was more important than the future of the Dragon Clan!
After a moment, he let out a loud dragon roar, driving back the attacking Gu Corpses. He temporarily ceased his attack, his vast dragon eyes looking toward Chu Yuan, his voice deep as he said, “Fellow Daoist! Our strength is clearly unmatched. Continuing to fight will only lead to mutual destruction, which benefits neither of us in this calamity.”
“Why don’t we cease fighting here? You may take that Immortal Island, and the enmity between your people and the Dragon Clan shall be wiped clean! How about it?”
Hearing the Ancestral Dragon voluntarily propose a ceasefire, Chu Yuan sneered coldly in his heart.
Knowing his strength was indeed inferior to Zulong’s, continuing the fierce battle would inevitably lead to defeat.
But so what?
Back when Zulong established the Scale Armor Clan, he made a Heavenly Dao oath to benefit the primordial world, and that was why the Scale Armor Clan was founded. Because of this, the Heavenly Dao granted merits as rewards.
But now, the Dragon Clan has become tyrannical, bullying the weak countless times. Not to mention accumulating merits, just enduring the consequences of cause and effect is already impressive.
Chu Yuan did not believe that Zulong would dare to risk establishing karmic ties with Heaven and Earth to suppress someone like him, who carried merits. This was exactly the opportunity he had been waiting for!
“Hmph! If you want to fight, it’s you I want to fight; if you want to stop, it’s you I want to stop!”
“Zulong, I don’t care how tyrannical your Dragon Clan is to others. As for today’s matter, if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, don’t expect me to let this go easily!”
As he spoke, Chu Yuan deliberately intensified the attacks of the Hongmeng Liantian Ruler and the Jiujiao Xuanyin Great Formation, showing a stubborn stance, ready to fight Zulong to the death.
Seeing this, Zulong frowned deeply, feeling increasingly annoyed. Just as he was about to speak again—either to increase his bargaining chip or to prepare to pay a certain price to force his escape…
An unexpected change suddenly occurred!
At the exact moment Zulong’s attention was drawn by Chu Yuan, the [Pure Yang Gu Corpse], which had been hidden deep within the Jiujiao Xuanyin Great Formation, seemingly only serving as a restraint against ordinary Da Luo combat power, suddenly exploded with brilliant golden light in its eyes!
“Now!”
The Pure Yang Gu Corpse received the command and no longer concealed its strength!
The innate demonic god aura burst out without reservation, and its body instantly expanded to tens of thousands of feet!
The enormous body, as if teleporting, suddenly appeared right in front of the Crystal Palace, whose light had dimmed and whose seals were damaged due to the fierce battle!
“Roar!”
With a loud roar, two giant claws covered in golden scales, like two ancient divine mountains, fiercely grabbed the base of the Crystal Palace!
“Not good!”
The Ancestral Dragon and all the dragons changed their expressions drastically, finally realizing something was wrong!
But it was already too late!
The Pure Yang Gu Corpse exploded with full strength and suddenly pulled upward!
Boom!!!
Like uprooting a towering giant tree!
The Crystal Palace, symbolizing the dragons’ supreme authority, glory, and billions of years of inheritance, was actually ripped from the seabed of the East Sea by the Pure Yang Gu Corpse!
In the next moment, the Pure Yang Gu Corpse held the huge Crystal Palace in its hands, transformed into a streak of light, and instantly crossed the void, flying toward Chu Yuan!
With a thought, Chu Yuan opened an orifice inside his body, and the streak of light entered and disappeared. The entire process happened in the blink of an eye!
The Ancestral Dragon was restrained by Chu Yuan, and the remaining dragon warriors were too late to stop it. To be exact, they were powerless to stop it!
