Become a fairy alone

"This, this is the Supreme Heavenly Dragon?"

One of the golden fairy women saw the bluish-gray dragon shadow and turned pale with fright. It's no wonder she was timid; the others weren't much better off.

"I think... I don't think so," Hu Zhengfeng said, his throat dry.

"It's not that bad. If the Supreme Heavenly Dragon had broken free of its shackles, the Heavenly Emperors would have acted long ago. They wouldn't have waited until now," said Haoyu Immortal Venerable, the strongest among them, trying to remain calm.

Roar! The gray dragon shadow saw them and its eyes filled with boundless killing intent. It opened its mouth and spewed a dragon's breath at them.

"It's over." Even if it wasn't the Supreme Heavenly Dragon in its true form, it was still something they couldn't easily contend with.

Just as Immortal Venerable Haoyu was about to turn and flee, a dragon-slaying guillotine descended from the clouds, shattering the dragon's breath and then slashing heavily down at the gray-blue dragon shadow.

A mournful and unwilling roar followed, and after a moment, only an astonishing resentment and a portion of spatial power remained, tearing and churning within the dark clouds.

"Thank goodness!" Immortal Venerable Haoyu, Hu Zhengfeng and his group were still shaken and had no idea what had happened.

Before they came, they had heard many rumors about the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, but none of them seemed to correspond to the situation before them.

Before they could catch their breath, pairs of fist-sized, scarlet eyes began to float up from near the dark cloud.

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds drifted everywhere along the sea, and countless scarlet eyeballs swept across the land like a torrent within the clouds, eventually surrounding the group of people.

"What is this again?" Several weaker Golden Immortals looked around in shock. According to the map scroll, they had arrived near the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, but it felt much more dangerous here than other parts of the Desolate Sea.

"This is a ghost that feeds on resentment; it must have been attracted by the aura of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine," said Immortal Venerable Haoyu, taking a breath.

"Compared to that gray dragon shadow, these ghosts should be easier to deal with. Let's hold our ground and block their attacks."

We've now reached the vicinity of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine. Putting aside whether these ghosts can do anything to us, their actions will certainly cause quite a commotion.

"We'll move around as we go, and also signal our colleagues stationed here. As long as the movement is wide enough and makes a big enough commotion, we'll alert others sooner or later," Xing Rong said calmly.

“Fellow Daoist Xing is right. As long as it’s not the Dragon Lord’s doing, what do we have to fear from these evil spirits?” Hu Zhengfeng echoed.

The group attacked in succession, their blades flashing as they slashed at the blood-red objects. Eyeballs exploded in droves, bursting forth with malevolent, blood-red light. Many eyeballs also transformed into grotesque, roaring monsters that lunged at Hu Zhengfeng, Xing Rong, and their companions.

Under the rolling dark clouds, countless blood-red eyeballs appeared. Hu Zhengfeng and his group fought and retreated, battling for more than half a month, feeling the dark clouds around them growing increasingly heavy.

As for those blood-red eyeballs, they were no longer a clear concept. The general feeling was that they were endless. They fought their way through many places but still couldn't break through; it seemed they were completely trapped.

Xing Rong was very proactive in the team. Seeing that they couldn't escape on the surface, he was the first to dive underwater, hoping to find another way out. However, once underwater, he discovered that the danger below was even more terrifying. With no better options, they could only grit their teeth and continue their arduous struggle.

This continued for nearly two more months. Apart from the four Nascent Soul stage experts, all the other Grand Luo Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals were devoured by the ghostly creatures formed from the blood-red eyeballs, and died in a gruesome manner.

After a relentless battle day and night, Xing Rong and the others were exhausted. Just when they were feeling hopeless, a sword light pierced through layers of blood, like a sharp blade cutting through tofu, revealing a chorus of shrill screams.

As Xing Rong and the others charged out from inside, a thin old man stood on a cloud, holding a long sword and looking down, his eyes like lightning fixed on the dark cloud.

"You beast, get out of here now! If I ever run into you again, I will make sure you are annihilated, body and soul."

"Old Gu, you don't need to scare me. Although I can't beat you, you can't catch me either."

A carefree laugh echoed from within the dark clouds. The other party seemed to have no intention of continuing the contest with Gu Changsheng, and the sound faded into the distance. In a short while, the crimson stain disappeared completely.

"Greetings, Master Si." Immortal Venerable Haoyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Gu Changsheng one after another.

"No need for formalities," Gu Changsheng said, sheathing his sword.

"Thank you for saving us, Master Si. Otherwise, we juniors would have been in trouble," said Immortal Venerable Haoyu with a grateful expression.

"It's also because you few are quite powerful that you wouldn't have been able to hold out until I arrived," Gu Changsheng said, stroking his beard.

"You've already experienced the situation here. The situation around the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine is worse than expected. Someone will take you to familiarize yourself with the formation later."

Your task now is to maintain the stability of the entire Purifying Spirit Mountain and Sea Formation and periodically eliminate any demons and monsters outside. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them while I am still here.”

"Senior Si Zheng, are the strengths of these ghosts and monsters all at the same level as before?" Chen Yuanhua immediately asked.

“The wraith we just encountered was quite powerful, but the number of demons gathering here in the past two years has increased significantly, and their strength is constantly changing. I can’t give you a precise answer; you can only be careful during your missions,” Gu Changsheng said.

Immortal Venerable Haoyu, Xing Rong, and Chen Yuanhua all looked extremely grim. Gu Changsheng's words were clearly somewhat conservative; the vengeful monkeys that had besieged them for months were only considered relatively strong.

Immortal Venerable Hao and the others have also cultivated to the primordial spirit body, and have their own basic judgment on some things.

The astonishing resentment that appeared when that bluish-gray dragon shadow leaped out earlier would not surprise even ghosts with primordial spirit bodies, let alone ghosts. Even if it attracted some Ghost Lord level experts, they would not be surprised.

Gu Changsheng, as the newly appointed head of the Dragon Seeking Division, did not stay in the heart of the Heavenly Court, but instead came to the Desolate Sea to personally oversee the situation. This action speaks volumes.

There's a pretty good chance that a Ghost Lord or Demon Lord-level expert might appear in this area.

"You don't need to worry too much. Just stay near the formation and don't stray too far. If things go wrong, enter the formation immediately. The risks are relatively controllable. Guarding the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine isn't just our responsibility. Other Heavenly Courts are also sending people over one after another."

Noticing the unusual expressions on the faces of Immortal Venerable Haoyu and the others, Gu Changsheng offered a word of comfort.

After the Immortal Army conquered the Dragon Realm, although some advanced in the battle, the army suffered extremely heavy casualties. Now, not only the Honghao Heavenly Court, but also the other Heavenly Courts are severely lacking in manpower. These juniors have just arrived, and we cannot allow them to lose confidence.

"Before the vengeful armadillo, we encountered a gray dragon shadow. Its resentment was astonishing, and its strength was unprecedented, far beyond what we could match. I wonder if it was the work of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon? Senior Si Zheng, do you have a way to deal with it?" Hu Zhengfeng asked nervously.

Gu Changsheng said, "The Supreme Heavenly Dragon has not completely perished. Its head is suppressed inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, and a trace of its aura often leaks out."

However, you don't need to deal with the aura of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon. The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine itself will prevent its escape. If any other unexpected events occur, I, Prison Master Baitai, and the others will also intervene in time.

Hearing this, Immortal Venerable Haoyu and the others were somewhat relieved. When the gray dragon shadow appeared earlier, it was indeed defeated by the Dragon Slayer.

As long as they are not facing the methods of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon, and with the formation to rely on, they can at least think of a way to deal with other dangers.

After answering several questions from Immortal Venerable Haoyu and Xing Rong, Gu Changsheng saw the guiding immortal envoy arrive and then left.

Xing Rong and his companions arrived at their assigned post, introduced by the guiding celestial messenger.

After familiarizing himself with the formation and the surrounding environment, Hu Zhengfeng, who had originally planned to come and check the situation first, now found himself alone. He dared not travel alone, so he stayed behind to help, waiting for the next group to finish their shift before returning together.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened after that. Every day was a routine patrol of the designated array area, regularly clearing out any demons that had infiltrated.

The area centered around the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine will inevitably emanate dragon energy or astonishing resentment through spatial fluctuations.

These auras emanating from the Supreme Heavenly Dragon have a fatal attraction for many demons and monsters.

At first, Immortal Venerable Haoyu and the others were very proactive, thinking about maintaining the relative stability of their area, so they often took action to eliminate these demons.

Later, they discovered that the enemy had been completely wiped out, and the reinforcements from the Heavenly Court were relatively limited. As a result, Immortal Venerable Haoyu, Chen Yuanhua, and others began to become conservative and passive.

Xing Rong, on the other hand, continued to go out as always, appearing much more diligent than the others, and also suffered several injuries.

Chen Yuanhua and the others tried to persuade Xing Rong not to work so hard, but they couldn't persuade him at all. After learning that Xing Rong was all alone and had no ties, they gave up on trying to persuade him and had more respect for him.

Besides his resilient character, Xing Rong's cultivation techniques are also extremely advanced, with fierce and varied attacks, as well as complementary protective techniques and a strong recovery ability.

Anyone else maintaining such a high attendance rate, especially after sustaining several injuries, would have collapsed long ago. But Xing Rong has unexpectedly persevered each time, and his strength has only grown stronger with each battle, large and small. Originally, Immortal Venerable Haoyu was the most powerful among them, but after tens of thousands of years, Xing Rong has subtly surpassed him.

Whoosh! Several dragon-slaying blades fell in succession, swiftly and fiercely shattering the gray dragon.

From the depths of the desolate sea, a muffled groan resounded.

Suppressed within the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, the disheveled head remained expressionless, with a slight upturn at the corner of its mouth, which was rather interesting.

Unbeknownst to him, more than ten thousand years had passed since the last great battle within the array space. Lu Xiaotian had thought he was doomed, but an unexpected turn of events occurred.

The fluctuations from his battle with the Four Heavenly Emperors were too intense, and the gray aura suffered too much impact, eventually unable to withstand it, causing the entire formation to collapse completely.

Originally, Lu Xiaotian had nowhere to escape, but under the impact of the collapsing formation, the terrifying spatial fluctuations and distortions also significantly affected the Dragon Slayer Guillotine, tearing a hole in its defense.

Lu Xiaotian had nowhere to escape. In his severely injured state, his aura was exposed, and he couldn't get very far. As long as the spatial fluctuations calmed down a bit, the Four Heavenly Emperors would still be able to find him.

In a moment of crisis, Lu Xiaotian did the opposite. Taking advantage of the opening that had been torn in the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, Lu Xiaotian's head, enveloped in a gray aura, directly entered the guillotine and dragged it into a spatial rift, temporarily escaping the sight of the Four Heavenly Emperors.

After the terrifying spatial fluctuations caused by the Four Heavenly Emperors subsided, they immediately located the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine.

The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine's regenerative ability was also astonishing; by the time the opponent arrived, it had already completely closed up.

Several Heavenly Emperors wanted to completely refine Lu Xiaotian inside the guillotine, but as their power gradually entered the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, they discovered that the situation inside was much more complicated than expected.

Inside the Dragon Guillotine, there were some spatial rifts and some mysterious and unpredictable gray halos. Lu Xiaotian was powerless to contend with the Four Heavenly Emperors, but he managed to contend with the power of several Heavenly Emperors by relying on the complex environment inside.

The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, as the premier weapon of war across all realms, is an extremely unique existence. It does not belong to any single Heavenly Emperor, and in times of war, it requires their combined command to unleash its full power.

The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine resists everything from the outside world; even the Heavenly Emperor would be greatly suppressed if he wanted to enter it.

The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine has killed too many powerful dragons, and the resentment of the dragons inside is extremely terrifying. Lu Xiaotian himself has also cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Resentment Curse. If he rashly breaks in, there are too many unpredictable variables.

Under these circumstances, the Four Heavenly Emperors dared not enter easily and could only use some methods outside the guillotine.

That continent, which was teleported back by the Four Heavenly Emperors and sank into the bottom of the desolate sea, was a byproduct created by the Four Heavenly Emperors to deal with Lu Xiaotian.

At that time, several Heavenly Emperors wanted to kill Lu Xiaotian inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, so they thought of using an array to release the resentment inside. After some discussion, they buried the array in that continent.

In the end, they underestimated the astonishing amount of resentment from the dragons within the guillotine. They spent over a thousand years but still failed to achieve their goal. Instead, the guillotine merged with the aura of that continent.

They couldn't do anything to Lu Xiaotian in a short time, and the Four Heavenly Emperors couldn't delay any longer. The Immortal Realm couldn't be without a master for even a day. They had already wasted enough time chasing after Lu Xiaotian.

If this drags on any longer, the situation in the Immortal Realm may completely spiral out of control.

Unable to leave the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine unattended, the Four Heavenly Emperors had no choice but to expend a great deal of their vital energy to forcibly teleport the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine back across the entire continent.

What appeared to outsiders as an almost supernatural and terrifying method was actually just a desperate measure taken by a few Heavenly Emperors. (End of Chapter)
