Become a fairy alone

The beings within this strange space are quite powerful. After suffering a loss, they might move to other, more difficult spatial nodes, or they might escape far away.

Lu Xiaotian was very interested in it. The fact that the other party could integrate space with the Nine Nether Weak Water and the Dharma Realm to a certain extent was quite enlightening for Lu Xiaotian.

If he could reach the same level as the other party, not only would his cultivation of spatial laws make a breakthrough, but he would also make a significant improvement in the Dharma Realm.

This guy can't leave the Nine Nether Weak Water for the time being, so we can let him leave temporarily and come back to find him after we get the Source Dragon Relic.

The Great Five Elements Dragon-Evolving Divine Needle traversed the opponent's body for a while. Although it failed to cause any damage, completely eliminating the aura left by the Chaotic Lightning Power and the Boundary-Breaking Divine Lightning was not so easy.

In other words, the two types of lightning power that Lu Xiaotian controls are extremely rare. If there were enough of them, they might be able to contend with a weapon as powerful as the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, which is renowned throughout the realms.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord descended much faster than before. After the initial adaptation, she was able to temporarily resist the erosion of the Weak Water with the help of the treasure in her hand. In addition, other competitors had appeared. If the treasure was taken by someone else, she would not be able to explain it to Lu Xiaotian later.

Upon arriving near the spatial node, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was already struggling to move forward. Not only did she have to deal with the corrosive power from the Nine Nether Weak Water, but the spatial fluctuations near the node also pulled at her from time to time, or repelled her.

What made her even more uncomfortable was the powerful dragon energy fluctuations within the Source Dragon Relic, which was definitely at the Heavenly Dragon level. It greatly suppressed her divine sense, and she could only unleash about 70-80% of her strength at best.

Before she could even make a move, an incomparably powerful dragon's might pierced through the barrier of the Nine Nether Weak Waters, surging in from behind like a tide, intertwining with the dragon energy of the Source Dragon Relic opposite her. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord immediately felt relieved.

Knowing that Lu Xiaotian was relieving her stress, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord had no more hesitation. She reached out and a silver-gray whip, like a serpent, slithered out and slowly moved towards the Origin Dragon Relic, which was completely shrouded in bluish-black mist.

The relic was obstructed by this layer of mist, and its specific location could not be observed with the naked eye. Later, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord's divine sense could only sense a blurry area and could not pinpoint the relic's exact location.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian guided her at this moment, and the silver-gray whip extended, finally wrapping around the Origin Dragon Relic. A powerful force surged forth as well.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord snorted coldly. If she couldn't defeat an Emperor-level expert, why would she be afraid of an old demon whose realm was similar to hers?

The other party wanted to steal the Source Dragon Relic, which was tantamount to cutting off her life. After sixty years of accumulation, her strength had improved considerably. With a slight effort, the relic, which had been being pulled by others, began to slowly move towards her.

The old demon opposite her obviously noticed her presence and immediately began to exert his strength. The two sides were like a tug-of-war, going back and forth. After a struggle, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord finally gained a slight advantage, and the Source Dragon Relic kept getting closer to her.

"In other words, we can't fight it face to face, otherwise we'll have to refine this demon into our dreams." A murderous glint flashed in the mind of the Crimson Dream Demon Lord.

She excels in the Dream Path, which involves attacks of the soul. This kind of contest of strength is a competition of her own weaknesses against her opponent. This old demon can't even beat her in brute force. In a real fight, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord has absolute confidence.

As the Source Dragon Relic drew ever closer, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was in high spirits. Since the conquest of the Dragon Realm began, he had encountered countless powerful enemies, and now finally, he had met someone whose strength was significantly inferior to his own.

"I didn't expect the Dragon Lord to return from the Immortal Realm so quickly. He overcame all obstacles from the lower realm and transformed from a mere mortal into a dragon in just tens of thousands of years, even reaching the Heavenly Dragon Realm. His victory over two Demon Emperors in the Demon Realm shook several realms. It's truly awe-inspiring." A familiar voice rang out from the other side of the spatial node.

"Since our parting in the Immortal Realm, Fellow Daoist Luo Hou has also become a different person. The Demon Emperor Yaoqing and the Asura Emperor are incredibly powerful. I only managed to fight them for a while by taking advantage of the terrain. I cannot say that I overpowered the two Demon Emperors. Fellow Daoist Luo Hou is too kind."

Lu Xiaotian spoke to him across the Nine Nether Weak Water. This old demon had remained silent when he encountered trouble, but spoke up again after the Crimson Dream Demon Lord had gained some advantage. It was quite interesting.

Originally, Lu Xiaotian sensed the other party's aura but was not sure if it was Luo Hou, whom he had encountered before. Now, it's confirmed.

Back then, in the Netherblood Cave of the Crimson Abyss Continent, there was the Puppet Emperor, and also the Primordial Dao Ancestor. High-ranking monks from the Danzhu Buddhist Sect also visited the Azure Universe Continent. If we include myself and Xiang Qingcheng's group, that lower-level realm back then truly unleashed a formidable force.

"How about you give me the Origin Dragon Relic here?"

“If it were anything else, it would be fine, but the Origin Dragon Relic belongs to my Dragon Clan, and it’s not something I can give up,” Lu Xiaotian said, shaking his head.

“This item is related to my and the Puppet Emperor’s grand plan. I suppose the Dragon Lord wouldn’t want the Puppet Emperor to be affected in his struggle against the Immortal Realm,” Rahu said.

"The Puppet Emperor plans ten steps ahead for every step he takes. Even without the Origin Dragon Relic, he will most likely have other alternatives."

"The greatest threat to the Immortal Realm is not the Puppet Emperor. The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine has only been unsealed for a short time, so I face greater pressure. I cannot relinquish the Origin Dragon Relic. If Fellow Daoist Luo Hou also desires it, then we can only rely on our own methods," Lu Xiaotian said calmly.

Not to mention that he and Luo Hou were not on good terms, having only met twice, and that the old demon had not helped him much, it was truly absurd that he would ask Luo Hou for the relic when the Crimson Dream Demon Lord had gained a slight advantage.

If the Puppet Emperor were to personally compensate him with certain benefits, or explain the pros and cons clearly, he might consider giving up some of the seven Origin Dragon Relics that he had already sensed underwater. However, giving them all up would be unrealistic.

"If we fight, even this spatial node won't be able to hold on. Why don't we shake hands and make peace? I'll take three of them, and the Dragon Lord will take four," Luo Hou said calmly, showing no displeasure at Lu Xiaotian's refusal.

“The Origin Dragon Relics originally belonged to my Dragon Clan. Have your men help me obtain them. Once I sense the complete aura within and complete the deduction of this cultivation method, I can lend you three for a period of time.”

Lu Xiaotian could naturally discern the other party's strategy of seeking the highest while obtaining the lowest: first, making a seemingly impossible request, then backing down to accepting only three, which sounded like a huge concession. Lu Xiaotian, of course, wouldn't fall for their trick so easily.

"The Dragon Lord is far too powerful. I may no longer be able to defeat you, but it is impossible for you to keep me here. You will definitely not be able to take all the relics here!" Rahu's tone turned serious.

“If I don’t take the Source Dragon Relic, I can’t keep you here. You should know that once you have the aura of a relic on you, it won’t be difficult for me to find you.” Lu Xiaotian shook his head, seemingly unconcerned.

"Considering that we have known each other, lending you a portion is already the biggest concession I can make. Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, please consider it carefully."

"As expected of the Dragon Lord who roamed the Demon Realm, you truly possess the grandeur of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon of yesteryear." Luo Hou laughed instead of getting angry. "Very well, as the Dragon Lord says, I will have my men help your people retrieve the Source Dragon Relic first." "Then thank you very much." Lu Xiaotian nodded, not caring about the anger behind Luo Hou's seemingly magnanimous demeanor. He wouldn't give up something he was sure to have just because of someone else's displeasure.

The Origin Dragon Relics are relics left behind by the dragon race in the past. If Lu Xiaotian can collect them all, it will naturally be a set of excellent dragon treasures that he can use to fight against others.

However, Lu Xiaotian was not short of weapons. He mainly used the Source Dragon Relics to deduce cultivation techniques and improve his own cultivation. After roughly understanding the cultivation methods, it would not be unreasonable to lend out a few.

Luo Hou was, after all, an old monster at the Emperor Realm. It was unavoidable that there would be some conflicts due to their respective interests. Regardless of whether it was really useful to the Puppet Emperor's plan, it was not worth offending the other party to death for a few relics.

Hearing Lu Xiaotian and Luo Hou's conversation from below, the Crimson Dream Demon Lord was utterly shocked.

Previously, she had been speculating that Lu Xiaotian, the Dragon Lord, might be a bit stronger than her master. After all, dragons are generally stronger than other alien races of the same rank.

Judging from their conversation, it seems that this Dragon Lord has single-handedly fought at least two Demon Emperors to a draw. Such a record is unmatched, let alone compared to the Dragon Ancestor, even two Dragon Ancestor-level powerhouses joining forces would likely be at a disadvantage.

The Immortal-Demon Battlefield offers some top-tier Sovereign-level powerhouses the possibility of breaking through to the Emperor rank. However, their overall strength is slightly inferior to those Emperor-level beings with titles. This is not due to a difference in aptitude; the old monsters who can reach this level are all top-notch in terms of talent and comprehension.

The main reason was that the protective artifacts of the realms mitigated a significant portion of the calamities that befell the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Emperor. The old monsters without these artifacts relied entirely on their own efforts. Over countless years, even disregarding the boost to combat power provided by these artifacts, their strength would inevitably differ to some extent.

Qiu Meng, the Demon Ancestor, wasn't particularly powerful at the Emperor Realm. Chi Meng, the Demon Lord, had heard that his master had clashed with another old monster and had been injured and forced into seclusion for a while. He seemed far inferior to the Dragon Lord before him, who was capable of fighting two Demon Emperors.

Perhaps it's just a rumor that the other side could overpower the two Demon Emperors, but right now, the old demon on the other side of the node has truly submitted to the Dragon Lord.

There was no need to lift a finger. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord felt that if the other party hadn't had some connection with the Puppet Emperor, whom he had never heard of, and the Dragon Lord, the Dragon Lord might not have been willing to lend out the three relics.

Luo Hou didn't seem like a person with a good temper, yet she was willing to discuss everything with the Dragon Lord, which clearly showed that the old demon opposite her was not easy to talk to. If it weren't for the Dragon Lord behind her, the other party probably wouldn't hesitate to reach out and crush her to death in the Weak Water.

The enormous crisis before and after was resolved with a wave of the hand by the Dragon Lord behind him, greatly boosting the confidence of the Crimson Dream Demon Lord.

With all these external obstacles eliminated, and a demon of the same level on the other side of the node helping her retrieve the Source Dragon Relic, it's no wonder the Dragon Lord caused her trouble afterward.

The fact that the Dragon Lord was willing to fight another Emperor-level old demon shows how much he values ​​the Origin Dragon Relic. He had also waited for more than sixty years. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord dared not imagine the consequences if she failed to retrieve the treasure.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord carefully tugged at the whip. The resistance from the other side had now turned into an assist. With one decreasing and the other increasing, the force acting on the Source Dragon Relic more than doubled.

The Source Dragon Relic was embedded within the spatial node, serving as the core of the restriction, making it no easy task to pull out. Even with the help of the old demon on the other side of the node, retrieving it was still quite difficult.

After much effort, the Source Dragon Relic was finally pried open slightly. After two rests, a round bead as blue as jade was pulled out. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord was overjoyed; after several hardships, he had finally obtained a Source Dragon Relic.

As expected of a dragon clan treasure, with the Origin Dragon Relic in hand, Crimson Dream Demon Lord could feel the surging and boundless power within it.

Having been immersed in the Nine Nether Weak Water for too long, it was stained with a light bluish-black layer, which added a mysterious and heavy feel to the crystal-clear blood color of the main body.

With the Source Dragon Relic in hand, the extremely corrosive aura of the Nine Nether Weak Water eased somewhat, proving it to be a treasure capable of resisting the Nine Nether Weak Water.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord sighed, but it wasn't easy for her. The Origin Dragon Relic helped her resolve some of the threats from the Nine Nether Weak Water, but the incomparably powerful dragon aura within spread outwards without any obstruction. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord was the first to be affected, and her divine sense was greatly suppressed.

Now that we have the relics in hand, the pressure has increased many times over compared to before.

Just as she was about to ask the Dragon Lord for help, a gentle aura came across the Nine Nether Weak Waters and once again took on this enormous pressure for her.

"Thank you, Dragon Lord." Demon Lord Chi Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Retrieving the Source Dragon Relic was no easy task, and it was fraught with danger. Fortunately, the Dragon Lord, who possessed extraordinary abilities, was reasonable enough not to ask her to do anything beyond her capabilities.

Whenever there are factors beyond her control, they arrive without her even asking for help, which also demonstrates the strength of the person behind her in controlling the overall situation.

Even if the other party is sitting on the floating bone boat, they can still control the whole situation.

Thinking of the conversation between the Dragon Lord and the Emperor-level old demon on the other side of the node, the Crimson Dream Demon Venerable felt a tightness in her heart. The Emperor-level old demon had compromised, which meant that even if the other party had the Source Dragon Relic, he was not confident of escaping the Dragon Lord's pursuit, let alone her, a junior at the Demon Lord level.

She focused on doing her job well, and left the rest to fate. Even the old demon on the other side had to obey the Dragon Lord's orders, let alone her.

Having had the experience of retrieving the Source Dragon Relic the first time, he became more skilled and retrieved the next few one after another. However, he encountered some trouble when retrieving the sixth Source Dragon Relic.

The chaotic spatial power had become much stronger. The Crimson Dream Demon Lord was almost caught in it when she wasn't careful. Fortunately, a giant cauldron phantom appeared behind her and enveloped her, preventing her from being crushed by this wave of chaotic spatial power.

The Crimson Dream Demon Lord thought the biggest crisis was over, but when the seventh Origin Dragon Relic was removed, he realized how naive he had been.

The surrounding space instantly shattered into a chaotic mess, as if thousands of sharp blades were shooting out in all directions in a disorderly fashion. Each attack was incredibly powerful. (End of Chapter)
