Become a fairy alone

In many parts of the Dragon Realm, efforts are underway to eliminate remaining enemies and carry out some basic repairs and reconstructions.

Above the Nine Nether Weak Waters, with the Floating Life Bone Boat as the boundary, there is a colorless and transparent spatial barrier in the middle, where Lu Xiaotian and the Crimson Dream Demon Lord sit at opposite ends.

The aura emanating from the Crimson Dream Demon Lord's body began to stabilize, while dozens of dragon scales floated in front of Lu Xiaotian, rising and falling erratically.

"The aura of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine?" After stringing the scales together, Lu Xiaotian sensed the aura of near-perfect fusion of malevolent energy and sharpness.

Lu Xiaotian was both familiar and unfamiliar with this aura. He was familiar with it because it was indeed from the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine.

Lu Xiaotian had been attacked by the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine too many times, and had even obtained a relatively complete version of it, thus sustaining injuries. When he was chasing the Ancient Demon Emperor in the Desolate Sea, he had also been near the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, so he was extremely familiar with this artifact that originated from the same source.

As for the unfamiliarity, it was the powerful aura within the dragon scales that made even Lu Xiaotian, with his current cultivation level, feel a sense of unease.

Besides, there was also the aura of the Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor and the Netherworld Heaven, which was much weaker in comparison. There were also two other auras of similar strength, which should be the result of the four Heavenly Emperors working together to activate the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine to kill the owner of this scale.

Time has passed, and after the long years, most of the dragon energy in the scales has been worn away. However, these scales in his hands can still provide Lu Xiaotian with considerable inspiration.

If possible, he didn't want to engage in a decisive battle with the Immortal Realm too early, but the timing wasn't his choice; it was the Immortal Realm that made the decision. Overall, the Dragon Clan was weak, and he couldn't attack the Immortal Realm; he could only passively wait for them to make their move.

However, from the interplay of the scales' energy and the Dragon Slayer's aura, Lu Xiaotian could tell that the scales' owner and the Dragon Slayer had engaged in a battle of wits. It wasn't a direct confrontation, but rather a reliance on another secret technique, namely the Heavenly Dragon's Curse, also known as the Dragon Soul Curse, which Lu Xiaotian had been searching for.

This is precisely the troublesome part. Originally, Lu Xiaotian thought that the Heavenly Dragon's Curse was a complete cultivation technique, but after deducing from these dozens of scales, he realized that even the owner of the scales might not have fully mastered it. It is very likely that this is a cultivation technique that has not yet been fully developed.

This makes sense when you think about it this way. The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine was the greatest enemy of the entire Dragon Clan. Given the Dragon Clan's strength, they must have already started thinking of ways to deal with the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. However, before they could master this technique, the Supreme Heavenly Dragon fell, and the Dragon Clan was wiped out by the Immortal Realm in conjunction with some powerful emperors.

The remaining remnants of the dragon race were unable to cause any trouble under the heavy pressure of the immortal realm. In fact, the fact that the dragon race was able to grow to a certain size under the shadow of several realms was also due to the private indulgence of some powerful beings, who would then reap the rewards once the dragons had developed to a certain extent.

For example, the Six Extremes Dragon Palace in the Desolate Sea was a product of the Ancient Demon Emperor's management. If the ancestors of the Six Extremes Dragon Palace hadn't stolen the Heavenly Demon Map, a supreme treasure, from the Demon Realm, and stolen the secrets of heaven, using the principle of "the darkest place is under the lamp" to deceive the Immortal Realm and the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, how could it have developed? It would have been destroyed long ago.

If Lu Xiaotian hadn't happened to be on his trip to the Desolate Sea, the Six Extremes Dragon Palace would have been inevitably destroyed by the Ancient Demon Emperor.

Judging from the current situation, even if the Heavenly Dragon's Curse is not fully developed, it should still have considerable reference value.

The Four Heavenly Emperors have yet to activate the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. One possibility is that this powerful weapon has been dormant for countless years, and breaking its seal is indeed troublesome, not something that can be accomplished overnight.

On the other hand, it is very likely that although the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine had successively killed several Heavenly Dragon Realm experts, including the Supreme Heavenly Dragon, it was also affected by the Heavenly Dragon Curse, making it very difficult to use it again.

The few dozen scales in front of him were still too few for Lu Xiaotian, and he could deduce the cultivation technique himself. However, a cultivation technique that could counter the Dragon Slayer was too difficult.

Lu Xiaotian now has some understanding of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, mainly limited to its shadow. He failed to make further contact with it in the Desolate Sea last time, which was a wasted opportunity. Now that the Heavenly Emperor is guarding that place, it would be an understatement for Lu Xiaotian to go there again.

However, there's no point in regretting it. After all, pursuing the Ancient Demon Emperor at that time couldn't be delayed either. Researching the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine wasn't something that could be done overnight. If the Ancient Demon Emperor had completed his entire plan in the Moon Shadow Wilderness, even if he could take over the Moon Shadow Wilderness and kill the Demon Emperor, he would most likely still be unable to escape the pursuit of the Demon Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Asura Emperor.

It's estimated that before they could even fight the Four Heavenly Emperors, they were dealt with by two old monsters from the Demon Realm. Naturally, none of these subsequent trivial matters occurred.

Lu Xiaotian pondered to himself that without a deeper understanding of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, working in isolation wouldn't work. It seemed he would need to find more scales of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon, or even its remains.

By using the energy within its body to obtain more details of the Heavenly Dragon's Curse, and then making deductions based on that, a lot of time can be saved.

It may not necessarily be the Supreme Heavenly Dragon. Having these scales in hand, and using them as a basis, will make finding another target much easier.

However, the matter of the Source Dragon Relic must be resolved first. Fortunately, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord has now finished his meditation, and it is time. Lu Xiaotian slowly opened his eyes.

Crimson Dream Demon Lord stood nervously in front of Lu Xiaotian, bowing deeply. Not receiving a reply, he didn't even dare to stand up.

Twice, even without Lu Xiaotian's guidance, she could sense the faint fluctuations of the Origin Dragon Relic, but her internal imbalances remained. For the Crimson Dream Demon Lord to dare descend into the Nine Nether Weak Waters was suicidal. Thus, the matter dragged on. Unbeknownst to her, more than sixty years had passed.

The thought of causing a Heavenly Dragon Realm expert to be delayed for so long filled the Crimson Dream Demon Lord with apprehension.

"I have delayed the Dragon Lord for so long, I deserve to die a thousand deaths." The Crimson Dream Demon Venerable's face was pale. If she missed the opportunity to retrieve the Source Dragon Relic because of this, her life would naturally be over.

"Looks like the trouble inside his body has been resolved?" Lu Xiaotian hasn't been idle these past few years; he's had a lot to do, so it can't be said that he was completely delayed by the other party. At least he learned some things from the dragon scale in his hand.

"Thanks to the Dragon Lord, my internal energy has completely stabilized. I will carry out any orders from the Dragon Lord without fail." The Crimson Dream Demon Lord was overjoyed. Judging from the other party's tone, it didn't seem like he was about to punish him immediately.

He completely refined the trace of power from the Qiongmeng Shengli Pearl and integrated it into his own cultivation system.

Having previously rescued Wen Yan and her group of powerful individuals, and incidentally dragged her into the dream realm where she had experienced life and death, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord's strength has greatly increased, giving her more confidence in the tasks assigned by Lu Xiaotian.

"Since that's the case, then finish what I assigned you before. Sixty years have passed, and your strength has improved, but too much time has been wasted, and many changes have occurred within the Nine Nether Weak Water."

The origin of the Weak Water is a mystery, but it probably flows out from those spatial nodes. The role of the Source Dragon Relic should be equivalent to a switch to prevent the Weak Water of the Nine Netherworlds from eroding the spatial nodes.

Over the years, without the maintenance of the Old Monster Qiu Meng, these nodes have suffered a certain degree of erosion. Once the Source Dragon Relic is extracted, if the spatial nodes are also completely destroyed, a vortex formed by the Nine Nether Weak Water may appear. The increase in its suction force is unpredictable. You need to be extremely cautious when you act. I will repair the spatial nodes to a certain extent depending on the situation. If the situation is too severe, I think it may not be possible to repair them in time.”

Lu Xiaotian said that the life and death of the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was a minor matter, but the Dragon Source Relic was a major one. Now, it would be difficult for the Crimson Dream Demon Lord to retrieve what he needed on his own, so Lu Xiaotian had to explain in detail.

The fact that the Source Dragon Relic could be soaked in the Nine Nether Weak Water for so long, and that it was used by the Qiu Meng Demon Ancestor as a crucial setting on a spatial node, is truly extraordinary.

Lu Xiaotian has many ways to improve his strength, but he can't afford to miss any of them. It's not entirely for the sake of fighting against the Immortal Realm; Lu Xiaotian also has an instinctive desire for the powerful and unknown.

"Yes, Dragon Lord!" Demon Lord Chi Meng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the situation under the Nine Nether Weak Water had become worse. Danger was certain, but as long as Lu Xiaotian was still willing to use her, there was still a glimmer of hope.

If he were to miss the chance to retrieve the treasure and lose all his usefulness, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord could imagine his fate.

Lu Xiaotian stretched out his finger and slowly drew a line across the Nine Nether Weak Water. A beam of azure light, like a sharp blade, cut into the Weak Water and slowly sliced ​​it open.

At Lu Xiaotian's signal, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord, holding the Dragon Dream Saint Pearl, leaped into the cut.

"Stay here for now and get used to the Nine Nether Weak Water." Just as he was about to dive down, Lu Xiaotian's voice rang in his mind, and the Crimson Dream Demon Lord quickly stopped.

Then she saw the Nine Nether Weak Waters around her slowly closing in. To her surprise, the Nine Nether Weak Waters closer to her were much lighter in color, while those further away showed a process of gradually deepening.

Crimson Dream Demon Lord was surprised. Even the powerful Dragon Lords and Demon Lords like Wen Yan were helpless above the Weak Water and could only passively wait for their deaths.

Now that she has the treasure Qiu Meng Sheng Li Zhu in her possession, she has refined a trace of its power over the years. However, she is still far from being able to use it for combat, but she can barely use it to resist some of the threats from the Nine Nether Weak Water.

She still couldn't enter or leave this dangerous place on her own, while Lu Xiaotian could easily break through the Weak Water and even use methods to dilute it, which was truly miraculous in the eyes of the Crimson Dream Demon Lord.

The diluted weak water made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, and this discomfort gradually intensified. The process wasn't long, but it gave her a considerable buffer time, making her feel much more at ease.

The Weak Water above had completely closed off, and the surroundings were pitch black, completely isolating sight and divine sense.

"Continue to descend." When the Crimson Dream Demon Lord lost his bearings for a moment, Lu Xiaotian's voice rang in his mind again.

Crimson Dream Demon Lord's heart skipped a beat. The strength of an Emperor-level expert was truly unfathomable; the opponent's divine sense could easily penetrate the Weak Water to transmit sound.

However, the voice in her mind did not seem to come from the Weak Water. Her strength was far inferior to Lu Xiaotian's, and she might not be able to see the strangeness of things that were far away, but she could still distinguish the voice within her own body.

“Your refining of the Qiong Meng Sheng Li Pearl is not complete enough. Once you have fully digested that trace of power within your body, my divine sense will no longer be able to communicate with you in this environment.”

"The Dragon Lord is truly all-powerful." Demon Lord Chi Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so shocked that she didn't expect things to turn out this way. Even if the other party was an Emperor-level expert, it was impossible for their divine sense to seep into her body silently without her noticing. That was too terrifying and exceeded her understanding of cultivation.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord admired Lu Xiaotian immensely. Although she had been affected by his attack, she didn't harbor much ill will towards him.

This was obviously a little trick Lu Xiaotian used on her to prevent her from having any bad thoughts. The spatial nodes under the Nine Nether Weak Water were not entirely under Lu Xiaotian's control. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord knew that theoretically she also had the possibility of escaping through this, although the possibility was relatively small, it did exist.

After all, even emperors are not omnipotent. For example, they may encounter situations where space becomes chaotic to a certain extent or when faced with extremely special circumstances.

However, after Lu Xiaotian revealed such a skill, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord, who hadn't originally harbored any ulterior motives, was now filled with nothing but awe.

Previously, she was more afraid of her master. Although Lu Xiaotian did not offer her many benefits and had left her some backup plans while she worked under him, she felt more at ease for no reason.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord knew that it was best not to have any ill intentions towards such a powerful figure, otherwise he would die without even knowing how.

As they descended deeper, an endless sense of abyss enveloped them from all directions. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord quickly channeled more power into the Nine Nether Weak Water, keeping it at bay.

It's safe for now, Demon Lord Chi Meng breathed a sigh of relief; at least for the time being, he wouldn't die.

Diving to a spatial node sounds easy, but the process is extremely dangerous. The Nine Nether Weak Water is not calm at all; in fact, it can be said to be turbulent with undercurrents.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord's strength is limited, and he can only survive in this place for a period of time by relying on the Dragon Dream Saint Pearl. It is not realistic for him to accurately find the Source Dragon Relic. At the critical moment, he still needs Lu Xiaotian to provide guidance.

The Nine Nether Weak Waters was a desolate place, and the Crimson Dream Demon Lord found no signs of life within it. However, she also knew that countless lives had perished in the Weak Waters, their bodies and souls dissolved together, leaving no trace.

She had never heard of anything that could exist in the Nine Nether Weak Waters forever. Even her former master, the Demon Ancestor Qiu Meng, had to refine the Floating Life Bone Boat in case of emergency.

If we really think about it, it seems that the Dragon Relic that the Dragon Lord wants to obtain can exist in the Weak Water for a long time. This must be an extremely rare treasure in the world. However, since Lu Xiaotian wants to obtain this item, she dares not have any ill intentions.

Traveling alone through the Nine Nether Weak Waters, it's easy to lose track of time. As the Crimson Dream Demon Lord descended, he soon encountered trouble, becoming trapped in a certain area, seemingly unable to find his way out no matter which direction he went.

"Dragon Lord, what... what's going on?" After several unsuccessful attempts, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord couldn't help but feel a little panicked. (End of Chapter)
