Become a fairy alone

"It's not your fault. The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine has been dormant for many years. The Lord of the Six Extremes Dragon Palace is quite capable. He was able to steal the Heaven-Stealing Myriad Demon Map from the Demon Realm to avoid the suppression of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine's aura."

By exploiting the principle of "the darkest place is under the lamp," they managed to deceive the celestial realm, and unknowingly expanded the Six Extremes Dragon Palace to a considerable scale. "Since we can't find it, send more people. I will rest for a few days and then personally take action." The Ancient Demon Emperor's eyes flickered.

Golden-Bearded Toad Ancestor's heart skipped a beat. The Ancient Demon Emperor was even more urgent than he had imagined. Something must have happened again, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

After defeating the Demon Emperor's phantom, Lu Xiaotian encountered no further trouble. With Ming Shang's assistance, he successfully delivered more than three thousand dragons to Jiuyang City, where they joined up with the main force of the dragons.

The Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle absorbed enough lightning power in the void and was recalled by Lu Xiaotian.

Logically speaking, leaving these five flying needles inside to nurture and absorb more lightning power would definitely be beneficial. However, the Ancient Demon Emperor suffered another loss this time, and in his anger and embarrassment, he will most likely further plunder the Desolate Sea Dragon Clan.

The number of dragons in the Dragon Realm and Nine Central City combined is still too small compared to the army of the Immortal Realm. Lu Xiaotian thought he should try to save as many as possible before the enemy could kill them.

He certainly couldn't possibly contend with the Ancient Demon Emperor and his countless demon armies on his own. However, the dragons were scattered throughout the desolate sea, so the enemy couldn't guard against him everywhere. Lu Xiaotian figured that if they acted quickly, they should be able to save a portion of the dragons.

Lu Xiaotian was unable to directly challenge the Ancient Demon Emperor and the Demon Clan's forces. After the two battles, the other party would have to think twice before trying to fight him alone again. As long as he didn't run into the main force of the Demon Clan or get surrounded by the Ancient Demon Emperor and several Demon Lord-level experts, Lu Xiaotian wasn't too afraid of the other party.

After acquiring the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle, Lu Xiaotian, along with Ming Shang, traveled around the Desolate Sea, sending away Kui Gang, Tu Bixiu, and thousands of other dragons. At the same time, Lu Xiaotian also obtained some information about the Desolate Sea and other dragon tribes from these dragons.

Following these clues, the search continued, revealing that most of the dragons had either been captured by the demons or wiped out. Only a small, scattered remnant escaped. The results were extremely limited.

In the desolate sea, Lu Xiaotian was only affected by the fluctuations in the interface. Thanks to the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle, which had fused with considerable thunder power, his divine sense was able to explore the outside world to a certain extent.

However, as he approached the area where the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine was located, his divine sense was suppressed again, and Lu Xiaotian's search range naturally shrank to some extent.

Most of the dragons were either wiped out or captured. Fortunately, this effort had some effect. The dragons that managed to escape were generally quite strong. Among them, there were as many as four dragons with the primordial spirit body. More than two thousand others gathered, coming from six or seven different tribes of varying sizes.

The aura of the desolate sea is far more complex than that of the four seas, but without special means, the dragon tribes here will split up once they reach a certain size, so as not to make too much noise and arouse the hostility of the immortal realm and suffer a fatal blow.

The Celestial Realm's expedition to the desolate sea is extremely troublesome, mainly due to the question of whether it's worthwhile—how many resources will be consumed and how many celestial troops will be deployed. However, once the threat reaches a certain level, these troubles can be overcome.

The origins of the dragon race are scattered, and the information they provide to Lu Xiaotian is not all the same. By combining this information, Lu Xiaotian has gained a certain understanding of the overall situation in this desolate sea.

This invasion of the Desolate Sea by the Demon Realm was massive, with the Ancient Demon Emperor in charge, personally leading countless demon armies. This not only demonstrated the strength of the demons but also represented a degree of tacit approval from the Immortal Realm after Lu Xiaotian's repeated heavy losses.

Since we cannot stop the Ancient Demon Emperor with all our might, let's go with the flow and use the demon race as a weapon to deal with the dragon race.

The specific intentions behind the Demon Clan's large-scale hunt for the Dragon Clan are still unclear, but it is certain that the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine's influence is not only directed at Lu Xiaotian, but also has a certain impact on the Demon Clan, although the restraining effect is not as obvious as that on the Dragon Clan.

The dragons in most areas of the desolate sea have been largely wiped out by the demon realm. However, due to the interference of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine with divine sense and the occasional leakage of its ferocious aura, a considerable number of demons are unwilling to come to this area. Perhaps due to the difficulty of searching, a certain number of dragons still remain in this surrounding region.

Some were originally from this place, while others fled here during this calamity. According to the information gathered by these fleeing dragons, the number of dragons who fled here alone is no less than several hundred thousand, and if you add those who originally lived here, the number would only be more.

Based on Lu Xiaotian's understanding of the Ancient Demon Emperor, this old demon was extremely vengeful. After suffering repeated losses at his hands, and with the Dragon Clan's room for maneuver shrinking, the Ancient Demon Emperor would inevitably command the Demon Army to further pressure the area around the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine.

The main force of the demon race is likely heading towards the Six Extremes Dragon Palace, the largest and most mysterious dragon tribe in the desolate sea!
Based on the direction indicated by these dragons, demonic energy was indeed surging, and a large number of demons had gathered there.

“Dragon Lord, although the Demon Clan is powerful, it is not invincible.” Ming Shang, who had been immersed in deducing the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron, suddenly spoke up.

"What's your plan?" Lu Xiaotian had been struggling to defeat the enemy, and Ming Shang's words immediately piqued his interest.

"The demon army is countless, and with the Ancient Demon Emperor personally overseeing it, even though the Dragon Lord possesses unparalleled supernatural powers, he would find it difficult to defeat them on his own. However, there is an external force that can be borrowed. The Dragon Lord has already borrowed one once before," Ming Shang chuckled.

"You mean the lightning power in the void?" Lu Xiaotian realized.

"Indeed, it was these thunderous powers that allowed the Puppet Emperor and the Xun Yin Thunder Spirit to conspire to use the Boundary-Breaking Divine Thunder to draw upon the thunderous power in the Thunder Abyss to break through the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, drawing countless laws of power into the Immortal Realm, thereby changing the entire Immortal Realm's landscape. Such methods cannot be accomplished by anyone but those with great courage and perseverance."

However, no matter how powerful the Puppet Emperor and his group are, they can only guide the general direction of this endless lightning power. For them, it is enough to break through the battlefield between immortals and demons. As for the endless lightning power afterwards, they cannot and do not have the energy to care about it.

The remaining lightning power is undoubtedly astonishing. No matter which direction it travels, it will cause immense disaster. If this power could be channeled, even the demon army in the desolate sea would surely be defeated! Without the aid of these armies, the Dragon Lord, with his strength, has absolutely no fear of the Ancient Demon Emperor.

"Things are not that simple. It is true that these thunderous powers are endless, but it is still very difficult to kill a Celestial Lord level expert in the midst of chaos. Although I am not afraid of the Ancient Demon Emperor, if the other party is assisted by several Demon Lord level experts, I will most likely suffer losses."

Furthermore, summoning this thunderous power is not so simple. The Xun Yin Thunder Spirit has the advantage of its location and, with the help of numerous restrictions, possesses a sufficient number of Boundary-Breaking Divine Thunders. With these thunders, it commands the surrounding thunders, and none can disobey.

My cultivation of lightning-based laws is inferior to that of the Xun Yin Lightning Spirit, and my Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle only yielded a trace of the remnants of the Boundary-Breaking Divine Lightning; the two are incomparable. What suggestions do you have?

Lu Xiaotian shook his head and looked at the other party. Ming Shang's proposed method was indeed feasible, but it would cause quite a few problems. However, since Ming Shang had brought it up, he must have a solution.

"The Ancient Demon Emperor has an unknown number of Demon Lord-level experts by his side, and the Dragon Lord and the Puppet Emperor have a close relationship and also have powerful allies. Why should you fear them?" Ming Shang smiled upon hearing this. "It seems you have a way to guide that endless lightning power." Lu Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although this Netherworld Spirit is only at the Immortal Lord level, it has fused with the Killing Spirit and has the potential to become the True Spirit of Ten Thousand Kills. It has some of the methods from the Killing Spirit, or it may have accumulated a certain foundation in the past.

Previously, he had always been lukewarm in his performance, following his instructions but not particularly proactive. Now, however, he has unexpectedly helped him break through the impasse.

It's unrealistic to say that this old monster has any great affection for the dragon race. His enthusiasm for this matter must have some ulterior motive.

Perhaps the old monster has a way to break free from his control. Undoubtedly, the Five Paths Void Heaven Cauldron is quite attractive to the old monster, but Lu Xiaotian also thinks it's unrealistic to expect him to keep Ming Shang by his side indefinitely.

The other party has been studying the Void Heaven Cauldron for so long and has made rapid progress in the law of space. Perhaps all they lack is an opportunity.

It would be no easy task for Ming Shang to get rid of me on his own. He has probably already noticed the restriction I planted in his body and may think that this full-scale conflict with the demons is a good opportunity.

Lu Xiaotian pondered to himself that Ming Shang probably had some plans in mind, but that didn't stop him from being interested in the old monster's suggestion.

It doesn't matter if the other party has ulterior motives; even letting this guy go is acceptable, as long as it benefits his plan to rescue the dragon race. The real fear is that Ming Shang's ambitions extend beyond this. This old monster cannot be viewed as an ordinary Immortal Lord.

If they were to use that thunderous power for other purposes and launch a counterattack, Lu Xiaotian figured he might not be able to control the situation then.

Lu Xiaotian had doubts in his heart and still wanted to hear what the old monster was planning.

“I have a piece of Ancient Thunderstone. Its effect may not be as good as the Boundary-Breaking Divine Thunder, but if we combine it with the flying needles in the Dragon Lord’s possession, and the Dragon Lord and I work together to guide the thunder power in the void using the Sky Heaven Cauldron, we should have a 50% chance of unleashing this vast thunder power. Dragon Lord, would you like to give it a try?” After making his suggestion, Ming Shang returned the initiative to Lu Xiaotian, seemingly not in a hurry.

"The Ancient Thunderstone! Legend has it that it contains a small amount of chaotic thunder power. You actually possess such a treasure?" Lu Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise. This thunderstone was not as powerful as the World-Breaking Divine Thunderstone, mainly because it could only contain a very small amount of chaotic thunder power. As for its power, Lu Xiaotian couldn't judge it, since he had never seen one before.

In addition, with the Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle and the Void Heaven Cauldron, there is indeed a chance to guide the power of void lightning. Ming Shang's estimate of 50% might be a bit conservative.

"How dare I deceive the Dragon Lord?" Ming Shang held up his palm, and a seemingly ordinary black round stone appeared in his palm. However, when Lu Xiaotian scanned it with his divine sense, he could discover the astonishing lightning power contained within it.

Ming Shang did not cultivate thunder magic and could not hold this object for long, otherwise his vital energy would be easily depleted by the thunder power inside. So he simply stretched out his palm and let the thunderstone fly towards Lu Xiaotian, saying, "This object is useless to me, so I will give it to the Dragon Lord."

Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it. He didn't comment on Ming Shang's feigned generosity. This kind of lightning-type treasure was exactly what he needed, and since he had taken it out, there was no reason for him to take it back.

Ming Shang was clearly aware of this, which is why he generously gave it up.

“You old monster, apart from your cultivation level being inferior to mine, your foundation is no less profound. Take out your spatial ring and let me see it.” Lu Xiaotian’s tone was calm, but brooked no refusal.

Ming Shang's eyes flickered slightly. Lu Xiaotian's actions were undoubtedly an attempt to intimidate him. He had cultivated to his current level and naturally had a temper, but he couldn't bring himself to do so in front of Lu Xiaotian.

“Aside from this Ancient Thunderstone, I’m sure the Dragon Lord wouldn’t be interested in anything else.” Ming Shang quickly recovered and presented the spatial ring with a smile.

Lu Xiaotian examined the contents and found a variety of treasures, including most of the remains of a half-step Heavenly Dragon and a large amount of dense and compelling blood-fiend crystals. However, apart from the Ancient Thunder Stone, there was nothing that caught his eye.

Lu Xiaotian wasn't trying to forcibly take these things; it was mainly that Ming Shang's plan was tempting.

This old monster must have something on his mind. The other party wouldn't selflessly offer such a treasure just to help the dragon clan escape their predicament. Lu Xiaotian needs to eliminate all variables as much as possible.

As for whether Ming Shang's scheme will have a negative impact on him or result in a double loss, that depends on the skill of both parties.

Both of them had a high level of expertise in the laws of space. Ming Shang took out the Ying Gu Thunder Stone, and without any further explanation, Lu Xiaotian knew what to do. Ming Shang also knew how to cooperate with him.

"I will now begin refining the Ancient Thunderstone. Whatever your plans, as long as you can help me rescue the remnants of the Dragon Clan trapped in the Desolate Sea, you are free to leave or stay afterward. I will remove the divine sense restriction from your body and will not force you to stay." Lu Xiaotian tapped the Netherworld Wine Cup.

"Then I thank you very much, Dragon Lord. This battle will surely be astonishing and will be quite beneficial to me. To regain my freedom, it is worth the risk I take."

Even then, I might not leave. I might have to follow the Dragon Lord to cultivate for a while longer. The Five Paths Void Heaven Cauldron is extremely profound, and I am far from having fully understood it. Overall, disrupting the several realms is beneficial to the Dragon Lord, and also to me.” Ming Shang revealed his true intentions.

"That would be best." Lu Xiaotian smiled upon hearing this. As a killing spirit, the other party naturally craved this level of killing aura. Disrupting the realms would indeed be beneficial to the killing spirit.

Ming Shang's words made perfect sense, but precisely because they were so reasonable, Lu Xiaotian always felt a little uneasy.

However, the Desolate Sea Dragon Clan still needs to be saved. It involves at least hundreds of thousands of dragons, or even more. If they can be integrated into the Dragon Domain and trained into an army, the overall strength of the Dragon Domain will be greatly improved. Another crucial point is that after subduing these dragons, the speed at which totem power is condensed will be even faster than before.

Having witnessed the power of the Boundless Demon Blade, one can deduce just how terrifying the Four Heavenly Emperors would become after fusing with the Jade Disc of Creation.

For the time being, Lu Xiaotian had no other choice but to pin his hopes on the dragon totem. (End of Chapter)
