Just now,
He had used the divine ability "Nine Transformations of the Dragon God".
Each transformation of this ability temporarily raised his cultivation by one minor realm,
And when all nine transformations were fully unleashed,
Long Yuan's cultivation had soared from peak Demon God realm to beyond Immortal-tier,
Reaching an unprecedented new height!
As an Iceflame Mystic Dragon,
His previous attack had utilized his innate dragon fire!
The surging dragon flames transformed into a roaring fire dragon,
Completely incinerating all the ghostly faces in the surroundings,Before charging along the bloody mist straight into the coffin.
Immediately, agonized shrieks erupted,
The coffin began violently shaking as the creature inside suffered the dragon fire's burning.
Long Yuan narrowed his eyes,
Regardless of what was inside,
The moment it showed killing intent toward him, he had decided to eliminate it.
Through a crack in the coffin,
Long Yuan glimpsed part of the creature within,
An utterly bizarre being,
Somewhat humanoid,
But covered in thick, long red hairs,
And at the tip of each hair,
Hung a vicious living face!
Long Yuan was shocked,
What kind of creature was this?
How could something so grotesque exist?
"This creature radiates extreme ominousness at first glance. In that case, I must eradicate you completely!"
Long Yuan clenched his dragon claws,
The female figure atop the coffin slowly opened her eyes!
Then a moonbeam-like glow began shining from between her brows,
As a silver moon mark gradually appeared.
"I never expected someone would find this place?"
A cold, clear voice came from the woman,
Her gaze instantly locking onto Long Yuan.
"Dragon clan?"
"And quite a powerful bloodline at that - the Iceflame Mystic Dragon?"
"Have you come from the Supreme Divine Realm?"
Her tone remained frosty.
"No!"
"I come from the Mortal Realm!"
Long Yuan halted his Primordial Dragon Fist mid-cast to respond.
"The Mortal Realm?"
"The Mortal Realm's God-tier Heaven-Earth Essence Veins were destroyed by the Netherworld Hell. How could a powerhouse like you emerge? Unless... you come from one of the forbidden zones?"
The previously reclining woman had now sat cross-legged atop the blood-red coffin,
Her body radiating moonbeam-like light,
Soft as water!
Yet to Chu Tianyang and his companion,
She appeared like a goddess seated high in the heavens,
Looking down upon them.
The sacred glow made them afraid to gaze directly at her,
As if doing so would be blasphemy!
Long Yuan frowned slightly,
He knew of forbidden zones,
But where was this Netherworld Hell?
Could it be related to Hell's Gate?
Still, he answered: "No, I come from an ordinary place. Through certain opportunities, I reached my current cultivation!"
"Might I ask who you are?"
"I am the Moon Goddess!"
"Moon Goddess? Never heard of you!"
"Naturally not - my era is far too ancient!"
Moon Goddess's body continued emitting soft moonlight,
Which seeped into the blood-red coffin.
Long Yuan frowned,
Sensing his dragon fire being suppressed and dissipated!
"Senior, what is the meaning of this?"
Was this Moon Goddess actually protecting that grotesque creature inside?
This puzzled Long Yuan,
He had assumed her presence was to suppress the coffin's occupant,
But apparently not.
"I beg your mercy!"
"The one inside was originally my friend. During a great battle, he was corrupted by evil energy and transformed into this state. I suppress him here to purify that evil and restore him!"
"So I ask you to show leniency!"
Moon Goddess's eyes carried sorrow as she spoke.
"Corruption?"
"This seems far more than simple corruption!"
"That creature clearly isn't a normal species. Even if corrupted, it's likely completely evil now!"
"Are you certain you can still purify it?"
Long Yuan questioned skeptically,
The thing in the coffin bore no resemblance to any normal being,
Especially with the terrifying evil aura it emitted when using abilities.
Moon Goddess's expression instantly chilled,
Declaring coldly: "If I say it can be done, then it can be done!"
"You may leave now!"
Long Yuan narrowed his eyes,
Glancing between the blood coffin and Moon Goddess,
Before turning calmly: "I care not what it is, but I hope it won't affect me. Otherwise, next time won't end with mere words!"
After using Nine Transformations of the Dragon God,
Dealing with the coffin creature alone might be possible,
But facing both it and Moon Goddess simultaneously would be difficult.
Moreover, this pocket dimension lay beneath Qingyang Lake,
Any major battle could affect the entire Qingyang City.
Thus Long Yuan decided to wait until he possessed overwhelming power before acting here.
Without further argument,
He directly led Chu Tianyang and the other away.
In the dimensional space,
Moon Goddess gently stroked the blood coffin,
Murmuring: "After all, no powerhouse from the Supreme Divine Realm has come..."
"It seems they may have forgotten us. I always said - what does this world's survival matter to us? Wouldn't secluding ourselves in some forgotten corner be better?"
"If you hadn't insisted on joining that so-called defense war, you wouldn't have ended like this!"
"Netherworld Hell once invited me to join them, but I refused. Now perhaps I should have accepted - the outcome couldn't be worse than this. Even Star God has forgotten us!"
"Sun God, when will you finally awaken?"
Moon Goddess sighed,
She could sense,
Sun God's divine consciousness was being invaded by that evil force, nearly dissipated.
Once more she radiated moonlight,
Channeling it into the coffin,
To help Sun God resist the corrupting evil!
Emerging from the lake's dimensional space,
Long Yuan returned to Dragon Emperor Palace.
Learning the Chu family would soon activate Chrono Pagoda,
Long Yuan also gave Chu Tianyang the Emperor-tier body refinement technique "Cosmic Star Technique".
"Anyone breaking through to Martial Emperor will be rewarded with an imperial artifact! Those reaching Martial Saint receive a Breakthrough Pill!"
"These rewards were personally set by Beast God!"
Within the Chu family's nine-layered spatial world,
Chu Tianyang stood before Chrono Pagoda,
Announcing to all clansmen preparing to enter:
The crowd gasped,
Imperial artifacts for Martial Emperors,
Breakthrough Pills for Martial Saints,
Such generous rewards were unprecedented!
"All entering Chrono Pagoda may request any needs - the family will fulfill what we can!"
"Elder! I urgently need many cultivation partners!"
Before Chu Tianyang finished speaking,
Chu Long shouted loudly.
Chu Tianyang fumed, nostrils flaring,
This brat only ever thought about finding partners!
