Chapter 5787 The Shadow Spider

Hissing sounds followed.

These blood-blue demonic snakes exuded resentment, like ghosts.

From within the blood-corroded miasma, eight-legged snake shadows emerged, spewing spider silk and venom.

The celestial soldiers on the warship were attacked immediately, some getting stuck in spider silk, others having their protective celestial aura corroded by venom. Some of the weaker celestial soldiers were corroded and burned through, their bodies riddled with foul-smelling, bloody holes.

Terrified screams erupted one after another as celestial soldiers fell to the attack. Hordes of eight-legged snakes sprang out, and in an instant, a large number of surface ships were under their assault.

"The Wraith Spider Serpent!" Some of the more knowledgeable celestial soldiers had already discerned the origin of the demon.

The previously easy-to-kill ferocious creatures, whose corpses floated all over the water, were merely the prelude to the attack. Their true purpose was to release a blood-corroding mist to cover the attacks of the Shadow Spider Serpent.

The Blood-Eroded Mist provided near-natural cover for the Shadow Spiders, allowing these demons to move about unpredictably, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.

A fierce battle ensued, with screams echoing throughout. The celestial army was incredibly brave, while the Wraith Spider Serpents were even more ferocious and bloodthirsty.

Through numerous major battles, the Dragon Realm had accumulated an astonishing foundation. In his spare time from cultivation, Lu Xiaotian personally nurtured these demonic creatures, adapting to the local conditions.

Even ordinary Immortal Lord level experts would find it difficult to control these races perfectly and deploy them precisely on the battlefield. Only Lu Xiaotian, the Lord of the Dragon Domain, could do it.

These methods appeared mysterious and powerful to the celestial army, and many of them were extremely afraid of Lu Xiaotian, the Dragon Lord.

Despite the threat of the four Heavenly Emperors, the enemy was still able to inflict such losses on the Celestial Army. More importantly, they disrupted the entire Celestial Army's progress in the great battle against the Dragon Domain. The central army and the vanguard were not as closely connected, and their deterrent power was greatly reduced.

In fact, it was in the Dragon Domain that, by utilizing the bloodthirsty aura accumulated from the previous great battle, or by the astonishing resentment power of Lu Xiaotian's own cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Resentment Curse, and by investing some other resources, several demonic creatures with amazing reproductive capabilities, whose overall strength was not too strong, but were extremely cunning in certain aspects were cultivated.

Setting up restrictions here is relatively easy. In other places, Lu Xiaotian would not have bothered to do so, nor would he have been able to lead these low-intelligence, frenzied, and bloodthirsty demons to conquer various regions.

It was only by deducing the general method of the Immortal Army's attack on the Dragon Domain and making some preparations in advance based on the terrain that it was able to achieve an unexpected effect once it was deployed.

The Four Heavenly Emperors would not allow Lu Xiaotian to use his methods at will; they only needed to stay near the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine to allow it to complete its final recovery process.

Avoiding giving Lu Xiaotian any opportunity to take advantage of is not entirely impossible; it's entirely possible to take action within limits. It's just that one cannot stray too far.

After several attacks were thwarted, the Four Heavenly Emperors quickly made adjustments and began to use their Dharma Realm to cover the area.

Using only a portion of their strength would be too difficult to deal with Lu Xiaotian. Their target this time was the Blood Erosion Mist and a large number of Blood Erosion Spiders.

These low-level demons are no match for the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Realm. If Lu Xiaotian wants to attack the entire Immortal Army, the Heavenly Emperor cannot completely stop him. However, by the same token, if the Heavenly Emperor is determined to deal with the Blood Vengeful Spider Serpent, it will be difficult for Lu Xiaotian to be on guard at every turn.

The difference is that these low-level demons have relatively simple methods of dealing with them compared to the large and well-trained celestial army.

As the Dharma Realm covered them, Lu Xiaotian took a picture of the Dharma Realm contending with several Heavenly Emperors.

Moo! The sound of the Qiuniu war drums reverberated one after another. Attacked by the Blood Vengeful Spiders, the Immortal Army suffered heavy losses, but in the chaos, they changed formation immediately and isolated the Blood Erosion Mist area.

At the same time, a large number of celestial soldiers threw Yangpo Thunder Pearls into the water, and blazing lightning arcs raced through the water, clearing away underwater demons at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, the shrill screams from underwater continued one after another. The deaths and injuries of the immortal army in the Blood-Corroded Mist area were unavoidable. Even the warships were being corroded to varying degrees, and hundreds of immortal soldiers died every moment.

However, the Heavenly Emperor's suppression using the Dharma Realm was ultimately insufficient for Lu Xiaotian, who also had his own matters to attend to. With the opponent firmly guarding the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, Lu Xiaotian's main focus was not on that. As long as he could disrupt the offensive rhythm of the main force of the Immortal Army to a certain extent, he could consider it as having achieved his goal.

It was foreseeable that these low-level monsters that had been cultivated would be eliminated.

However, the Dragon Domain has the home-field advantage. Lu Xiaotian already knew that countless warships from the Immortal Realm were sailing downstream, so once the counterattack was launched, it would naturally not rely solely on these demonic creatures.

The Blood Vengeful Spiders, as the main attacking force, can eliminate a portion of the Celestial Army, disrupt the army's offensive rhythm, and cause huge losses to the Celestial Army.

From the current perspective, Lu Xiaotian has basically achieved his goal; the real show is about to begin.

Qianhua Laojun's brows furrowed deeply, and the Dragon-Seeking Bell on his flagship was shaking frantically. In fact, ever since they arrived near the Dragon Domain, the entire region had been filled with various dragon auras, and the Dragon-Seeking Bell had been issuing warnings. It was just that the commotion was now a little greater than before.

After arriving in the Dragon Realm, most of the treasures of the Dragon Clan lost their original purpose. However, the enormous noise of the Dragon-Seeking Bell inevitably made Qianhua Laojun suspicious.

"Oh no! There's a dragon army underwater!" Lord Baitai reacted immediately, his expression changing drastically.

At this point, he could clearly see the other party's intentions. Previously, those Blood Vengeful Spiders were primarily used to wear down the Celestial Army's attacks.

After consuming large quantities of Water-Concealed Thorns, Yang Soul Thunder Pearls, and other resources, the Dragon Clan army launched another attack, which was enough to severely damage the Immortal Army, which was already in disarray in some areas.

As expected, some powerful immortals with supernatural abilities like spiritual eyes sensed the growing commotion below. When they channeled their immortal energy into their eyes and examined the underwater scene, they were all stunned to see the dense array of dragon shadows below.

Compared to the weak Blood-Eating Spiders and the Blood-Vengeful Spiders with their tricky attacks and obvious weaknesses, the dragon army that appeared below was truly well-trained.

Despite their dense formation, an astonishing aura of battle formation emanated from underwater.

Streaks of dragon breath intertwined and struck the bottom of the warships. After the first one or two waves of impact, the defenses of the warships were quickly breached.

With a whoosh, groups of warships sank to the bottom of the water one after another. The celestial army, which had fallen into the water, was no match for the dragons with little preparation. Countless dragon soldiers, or dragon breath, came and instantly wiped out the celestial army below.

Several Heavenly Emperors' hearts pounded. They were determined to guard the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, but Lu Xiaotian's ambitions far exceeded their expectations.

According to the intuitions of several Heavenly Emperors, there are probably at least a million dragons, and possibly more.

The previous two waves of attacks had already created a breach in the celestial army's battle formation, causing some disarray in the fleet's central command. The dragons that followed were undoubtedly a heavy blow. The Four Heavenly Emperors felt they couldn't allow Lu Xiaotian to continue his attacks recklessly, so they once again covered the area with their Dharma Realm.

The goal is not to annihilate the dragon race, but simply to restrain their attacks, allowing the main force of the immortal army to rearrange its formation, stabilize its position, and gain some opportunity.

The different realms of existence intertwine, like water and fire tearing each other apart.

The Celestial Army and a large number of dragons were all here. Lu Xiaotian and several Heavenly Emperors maintained relative restraint. If they really went all out and fought, who knows how many lives would be lost.

The outcome of the war ultimately depends on the dragon race and the immortal army themselves.

"The Dragon Clan army has already moved. Should we deploy the Heavenly Emperor's Guards?" The Lord of the Dragon Suppression Prison flew to the side of Qianhua Laojun and asked.

"The Heavenly Emperor's Guards are the army's last resort; they should not be used lightly except in the final battle." Qianhua Laojun glanced at the other party.

"The dragons below the fleet probably number at least two million now, and their numbers are still increasing. Their main force is almost here; it's time to wipe them out in one fell swoop," the Lord of the Dragon Suppression Prison said in a deep voice.

According to the information they received, during the previous campaigns against the Dragon Domain, the enemy numbered only two or three million. Within the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, the Dragon Domain had experienced many battles, both large and small, and there must have been casualties.

With two to three million dragons deployed and still reinforcing their forces, what else could they be but the main force?

"Dragon Domain's move seems a bit rash, but since the Dragon Lord has personally taken action, perhaps it's just a test. However, given the right opportunity, they could turn a test into a full-scale attack at any time."

The Lord of the Dragon Suppression Prison naturally knew that using the Imperial Guards now seemed a bit hasty, but their attack on the Dragon Domain was precisely to annihilate the dragon race, and the number of dragons that had appeared now was enough to warrant their heavy-handed approach.

Although the Dragon Realm has several races with considerable strength, it is ultimately based on the Dragon Clan. As long as the main force of the Dragon Clan is destroyed, the remaining forces of the Dragon Realm will collapse without resistance.

Even if you leave them here unattended, it would be difficult for them to survive the onslaught of various demons and monsters from the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm.

In the eyes of the Lord of the Dragon Suppression Prison, everything except the dragon race is insignificant.

With the appearance of the dragon army, he, along with Lord Baitai and the Dragon-Slaying Palace Master of the Southern Heavenly Court, will undoubtedly be the main force attacking the dragons.

As for Chen Fufeng of the Honghao Heavenly Court, he died at the hands of the Dragon Clan long ago. Of the four major Heavenly Courts' main agencies dedicated to dealing with the Dragon Clan, these three remained as their leaders.

Compared to other celestial armies, their strength has been relatively well preserved. Each of their elite units has been brought over. Although they are still not as formidable as the Fulong Army of Honghao Heavenly Court, which has been completely annihilated, they are still a formidable fighting force.

However, everyone knows that this force is barely enough to deal with the dragons. If they don't get Qianhua Laojun to send out his elite troops, they will have to fight a bloody battle with their own troops.

“This part of the dragon race is not the main force. The Heavenly Emperor’s Guards cannot be moved for the time being.” Qianhua Laojun still insisted on his opinion, “It is just a part of the dragon race that the Dragon Lord previously took in from the Immortal Realm. With the help of the Dragon Suppression Prison Lord and a few others, it is enough to deal with them.”

"These dragons who have come forward are already quite powerful. The dragons that were taken in from the Immortal Realm are just a rabble. They shouldn't have such amazing combat power, right? According to Laozi, where is the main force of the dragons?" The Lord of the Dragon Suppression Prison looked rather grim.

His visit to Qianhua Laojun was not his own idea. He was not from Honghao Heavenly Court, so he was not afraid of offending the other party no matter how strong he was.

Since Laozi Qianhua has a higher cultivation level and possesses more powerful treasures, he probably knows more. Even if he's rushing them to do some dangerous things, he should at least explain some inside information to them.

"The Four Seas Dragon Palace was indeed severely suppressed before, and it would take a long time to improve its strength. However, the combat power of the Desolate Sea Dragon Clan, mainly composed of the Six Extremes Dragon Palace, is still quite considerable."

Led back to the Dragon Realm by the Dragon Lord himself, they must have received some training during the process, so it's normal for their strength to have increased. As for the true main force of the Dragon Clan, they are mostly no less powerful than the Heavenly Emperor's Guards.

The sharpest blade can only kill when it strikes a vital spot. Against an opponent as meticulous as the Dragon Lord, who is almost infallible, striking too early is very dangerous.

Qianhua Laojun frowned. He had long had that feeling of the Void Calamity Blade Ancestor, but to resist the current wave of dragon attacks, he really had to rely on the Dragon Suppression Prison Master and a few others. The opponent was a force specially used by the Immortal Realm to deal with dragons, which was more effective than ordinary immortal armies.

Only those who have something to rely on can come and negotiate with him. Qianhua Laojun was appointed as the commander of a large army by several Heavenly Emperors. The opponent's strength is not as good as his, but it is not weak either.

Several leaders specializing in dealing with the dragons joined forces, and their proposed suggestions seemed reasonably plausible, forcing even Qianhua Laojun to suppress his temper and offer explanations.

Given the opponent's cultivation level, they could not be executed directly under military law. However, after some persuasion, the order must still be firmly carried out. Even if there might be some delay, the overall situation was still on the side of the immortal army, and Qianhua Laojun was confident that he could overcome any troubles.

"The Dragon Clan's elite forces are already on par with the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Guards?" The Lord of the Dragon Suppression Prison gasped.

The Heavenly Emperor's Guards are the main army guarding the Heavenly Emperor's palaces in all directions. They are the foundation for suppressing the fortune of the immortal realm. Even when the battle between immortals and demons is raging, the Heavenly Emperor's Guards are rarely seen.

If the Dragon Domain hadn't grown to such a considerable size, the four Heavenly Emperors wouldn't have each drawn a force from their respective strongholds. Such a force would be enough to sweep across the battlefield and even confront powerful emperors head-on.

The fact that the Dragon Realm also possesses such a force is truly astonishing.

Even though they had a united Imperial Guard on their side, the thought of potentially facing the Dragon Domain's top-tier combat power at any moment made the Lord of the Dragon Suppression Prison feel a chill run down his spine.

In the face of such an elite army, it is common for a Celestial Lord-level expert to fall.

"Laojun's considerations are very thorough; I was being presumptuous," said the Lord of Zhenlong Prison, bowing. "When it's time to act, Laojun, just give the order, and my Minglong Prison will certainly carry it out strictly."

"Very good. Prison Master, go back and prepare your troops immediately. We must soon launch an attack on the Dragon Clan. The Nether Dragon Prison cannot function without the Prison Master in charge." Qianhua Laojun breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lord of Zhenlong Prison did not come alone; he represented the attitudes of Lord Baitai Prison and Lord Shelong Palace. Otherwise, Laozi of Qianhua would not have needed to be so cautious.

With the full cooperation of these three, it shouldn't be difficult to withstand this dragon race. Now it's up to the Dragon Lord to come up with another move.

Roar! A series of dragon roars echoed from underwater. The water, which had been calmed by the conflict between the powerful beings at the Emperor level, surged once more, sending towering waves crashing against warships and slamming them into the water. (End of Chapter)
