Elder Li of the Dao Xuan Sect, his hair as white as snow, gazed calmly at the distant battlefield, as if he weren't the one stopping Mei Yingxue from making a move.
Mei Yingxue gritted her teeth. With her cultivation at the fifth level of Deng Xian, her raw strength was indeed inferior to this old dog beside her. "Elder Li! What do you mean?! Are you going to stand by and watch this Hanhai true successor perish before our eyes?!"
Elder Li, his old face full of wrinkles, glanced at Mei Yingxue. "Sect Leader Mei, you are still young. I shall teach you today: what relation do the true successors of the demon race have to us humans?"
"This Dragon Girl can serve as our first pawn to test that Dragon Ji. If her daughter is attacked, we'll see if that Dragon Ji can still remain seated!"
With that, ignoring the displeased Mei Yingxue, Elder Li continued to gaze at the battlefield with an air of composure.
In fact, among those present, Elder Li was undoubtedly the most fervent about this Hanhai Grand Ceremony.
As a Dharma Body of the Dao Xuan Sect, he had begun his calculations the moment the radiant light pierced the sky seven days ago.
Although the treasure's level was too high, even with his life's true essence, he found it difficult to ascertain its exact origins.
However, behind the vague卦象 (guà xiàng - divination signs), he, an old Dharma Body, had managed to deduce something.
The anomaly occurring in the Hanhai, and the upcoming Hanhai Grand Ceremony, were related to his path to enlightenment!
According to the vague divination, if he, Li Hexuan, could reach the treasure, he might be able to overcome the seventh level immortal tribulation and enter the late stage of Deng Xian!
And the seventh level of Deng Xian was the lowest threshold for ascending to the nine heavens and nine earths!
According to the sect's teachings, once one ascended to those nine heavens and nine earths, they would no longer have to worry about the great millennium tribulation, and could enjoy endless years of peace!
Elder Li, who had used various means to delay the date of the great tribulation, had been feeling increasingly that heaven could not be deceived!
When his seventh level immortal tribulation descended, it would likely be the time he turned to dust!
But Li Hexuan had cultivated for thousands of years, painstakingly reaching the sixth level of Dharma Body Deng Xian, soaring above the entire primordial land. Was all this just to turn to dust under the final tribulation?!
He was unwilling!!!
Therefore, this Hanhai Grand Ceremony must be disrupted!
He, Li Hexuan, must obtain this supreme treasure of the Hanhai!
Despite Elder Li's appearance of immortal grace and gentle demeanor, his heart was already set when he arrived!
Those who obstruct my path to immortality shall die!!!
...
Elder Li's gaze was fixed on the blood-red battle energy that dyed half the sky, his heart continuously muttering:
"Hahaha, excellent! These lunatics of the War Demon Sect truly do not distinguish between occasions; they fight whenever they please!"
"This戟光 (jǐ guāng - halberd light) formed by immortal energy has already touched the threshold of a Dharma Body. This Dragon Girl absolutely cannot block it!"
"Hahaha, that Dragon Ji loves her daughter the most. As long as she can't resist and rushes out of the heavenly curtain formation, our opportunity will arrive!"
On the same Divine Boat of the Dao Xuan Sect, Su Xing'er, shrouded in stardust, secretly rolled her eyes at the old man on the tower.
"This Elder Li must be desperate to live."
"This old fellow has used a secret sect technique to delay the great tribulation multiple times, and I fear he can't hold on any longer!"
"Hmph, a thousand-year-old turtle, a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise. Living so long, hasn't he seen through it yet? The starry sky is infinite, and life's importance has never been about its length."
Along the way, the excited Elder Li had inadvertently revealed many things to Su Xing'er, who was well-prepared.
"The Sect Master's prediction was correct. This old brat is indeed colluding with those people!"
"Perhaps this time, we can catch the tail of that organization!"
The Deng Xian cultivators in the sky each had their own calculations, but more cultivators couldn't help but avert their gazes.
Such a peerlessly beautiful maiden was being attacked by a fierce demon, and they were powerless to intervene, nor could they bear to watch further.
Thus, under the gazes of countless cultivators, Linglong, still suspended in the air, seemed to have met her inevitable end. xxs壹贰
...
Linglong gazed at the three-thousand-zhang crimson light rushing upwards from below, feeling the space around her sealed by immortal might. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Hmph!"
Her golden and silver heterochromatic eyes quietly transformed into vertical pupils, and faint dragon scales appeared around the edges of her exquisitely beautiful face.
The next moment, the crimson light streaked through the sky!
But Linglong did not dodge. She extended her right hand!
On her fair and tender hand, spiritual patterns quietly flashed.
Instantly, her slender hand was covered in dragon scales, and a bloodline pressure surpassing that of all demons suddenly emerged.
Under the horrified gazes of countless cultivators, the maiden lightly waved her right hand, which had transformed into a silver dragon claw.
*Buzz!*
The three-thousand-zhang crimson light buzzed and stopped. The Dragon Girl standing in the sky had, with one hand, grasped the tip of the crimson light!
"Holy crap! Is this real?!" Ye Ao Han's eyes were about to pop out in shock!
You're catching such a massive immortal essence battle energy with your bare hands?! Was my Four Water Flood Dragon that was chopped to pieces fake?!
However, compared to the shock of the Dao Path cultivators and the Rainbow Transformation Deng Xian, the old Dharma Body Deng Xian cultivators were not overly surprised. Instead, they exchanged solemn glances.
The Hanhai Dragon Ji had not appeared for a long time, and the Old Dragon King had been missing for a thousand years.
It was likely that the cultivators on this land had long forgotten the peerless might of a true dragon's physical body.
....
Linglong's gaze flickered, and her dragon claw gently tightened.
*Bang!*
The three-thousand-zhang crimson light instantly exploded.
Amidst the spiritual pattern energy waves filling the sky, a chilling aura quietly appeared!
*Buzz!*
The long halberd pierced through the dissipating energy waves. It was Qi Sha who had arrived before Linglong!
The two were now only a hundred zhang apart, a distance that Deng Xian could cross in an instant.
Seeing Linglong's formidable physique, Qi Sha was not surprised but delighted. "Hahaha! I was right! You are the only one worthy of fighting me!!"
"Hahahaha! Fight!!!"
The long halberd broke through the air! The chilling aura turned into a blade!
In an instant, ten thousand cold stars rained down like pear blossoms towards Linglong!
Linglong's figure did not waver, and her eyes grew colder!
A golden pattern appeared on her silver dragon claw!
Amidst the fierce collisions, Linglong, with just one hand, managed to block Qi Sha's sweeping halberd strikes one by one!
Ye Ao Han in the distance suddenly felt that he should honestly return to his sect. Bullying junior disciples was quite good; there were too many perverts outside.
Gong Xiaoyan, however, trembled, and the Four Seasons Reincarnation technique in her hand directly shattered. Under Mei Yingxue's pained gaze, Gong Xiaoyan turned and walked towards the Divine Boat.
"Beauty only belongs to the strong! Luo Xian! I am not strong enough yet! Wait for me!! When I become stronger, I will snatch you back!!!"
Mei Yingxue sighed, "What a calamity!"
In the distant battlefield,
Qi Sha's crimson eyes grew brighter, and the halberd in his hand struck with increasing force.
"Excellent! Excellent!! I have finally met an opponent with whom I can fight to my heart's content!!!"
"Woman! State your name!! You are worthy of being my Qi Sha's destined rival!!"
Hearing this, Linglong's impatience finally reached its peak.
The golden patterns on her dragon claw fully formed, and Linglong's strength instantly surged!
Everyone seemed to hear a vast dragon's roar echoing between heaven and earth.
The next moment, a white shadow instantly pierced through the sky-filled sharpness and flew directly past the crimson figure.
When Linglong reappeared, she was holding the head of a fierce ghost in her hand.
"What woman or not woman! You're no different yourself!!"
