Born with immortal seed

Chapter 627 Severing the Dragon's Feet, Chewing the Dragon's Flesh

"Master Jiuyang?"

Bai Zichen's heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless, the sword hidden in his sleeve gleaming with power.

Magical artifacts flew about wildly, spiritual light clashed, and the energy was mixed together in a chaotic mess.

Above their heads were four gleaming beams of divine transformation pressure, pressing down so hard that the clouds seemed within reach.

Every step forward must be built upon a foundation of understanding.

It was precisely because he was strong enough that he could sense the terrifying power contained within those four clouds.

Even the slightest leak would be a catastrophic disaster for the millions of lives on the field.

He was filled with unease, worried that if Ao Laolong grabbed him, he would crush him like an ant.

If it were the Crimson-Eared Ancestor who made the move, there would be a good chance of surviving its attack.

After emptying his mind and calming his spirit, he made further progress in unexpected ways within just a few years.

When two Nascent Soul cultivators clash, their ability to concentrate their energy is limited, and a casual strike may not necessarily kill him.

He feared that the old dragon might overestimate him and use a wisp of the power of the Mountain and River Cauldron, which would truly mean certain death.

However, in a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators, every inch of vital energy is precious, and once one falls into a disadvantageous position, it becomes extremely difficult to turn the tide.

Both sides have chosen to trust their own ethnic groups in order to enhance their advantages, and each has its own reasons.

The human race was worried about the power of the Mountain and River Cauldron and wanted to use their numerical advantage and the advantage of their weapons to gain the upper hand in the battle. They used their aura to pressure the two fifth-order demon lords and force them to reveal their weaknesses.

Meanwhile, the demon race, though harboring different intentions, ultimately arrived at the same goal.

Ao Laolong had absolute confidence in the Mountain and River Cauldron, but the accumulated power of the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master and the more than 200,000 years of foundation of the Morality Sect must have a forbidden technique that would destroy everything.

Unexpectedly, Fox White was so useless that it couldn't even break through the defenses of a junior who had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, and was seriously injured and forced to return to the mountain. With one of them missing, the original plan will have to be slightly adjusted.

In any case, among the fourth-tier juniors below, there is a Dragon Lord who is clearly a head taller, plus a mysterious backup plan, which will surely give the human race a big surprise.

At that time, the human cultivators were routed and suffered a crushing defeat.

Only by wielding full power and exerting overwhelming pressure can victory be achieved more easily.

"With the two peak masters of the Moral Sect here, they should be able to keep an eye on Ao Laolong and Chi Er Laozu... In order to kill me, they gave up the initiative and fell into an absolute disadvantage. I don't think a fifth-level demon lord would be that unwise."

Bai Zichen took a deep breath and flew towards the noisiest place, casting aside the shadow of the fifth-order demon lord and focusing all his attention on what was in front of him.

Master Jiuyang was the previous sect leader of the Great Sun Holy Sect. He had abdicated a hundred years ago and was now traversing the desolate Western Regions barefoot, attempting to find a way to break through physical limitations and become a fifth-order body cultivator.

Although this path has not yet been fully explored, the late-stage Nascent Soul realm combined with the peak of the fourth-order body cultivation has placed him at the highest level of the Great True Monarch.

Perhaps their strength cannot be considered among the strongest, but in terms of physical strength and the ability to withstand damage, only the Daoist Baoxuan, protected by the Taiping Mother Talisman, can rival them.

It is truly shocking that such a person would perish on the battlefield, and in such a gruesome way, being torn in two.

Roar!
Accompanied by a violent dragon roar, a two-colored true dragon coiled in the air, its body arched.

It was far smaller than some of the descendants of wild beasts, but it possessed a perfect demonic body that defied description.

The dragon's body is half gold and half black, clearly distinct.

He had only one pair of pupils, both dark gold, which were sinister and arrogant, looking down at everyone.

It is said that dragons are lewd, and there are all kinds of strange and wonderful dragons and beasts in the human world.

No one knows what the legendary true dragon should look like. Among the ancient beasts, there are also divine dragons that can grow wings on their backs, which are clearly different from the dragon bloodline that has spread from the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Aside from Ao Laolong, whose true form has never been seen by anyone, the Dragon Lord who revealed his true form is the one that best matches Bai Zichen's imagination of a true dragon.

Every move he made exuded a kingly and domineering aura, giving rise to the presence of a demon emperor.

As soon as the Dragon Lord revealed his true form, a red light appeared on the bodies of all the demon beasts within a hundred miles, offsetting the suppressive effect of the demon saint's essence blood in Yu Ziliang's body.

In the current situation, the demon race has gained the upper hand once again.

A phantom of a celestial court rested on the dragon's claw, its dark golden vertical pupils sweeping contemptuously over the four people in front of it, its attitude made clear without uttering a word.

The two halves of the corpse on the ground, without a drop of blood, turned into two huge suns after landing, burning fiercely, their blazing power forbidding ordinary people from getting close.

The lineup of the Great True Lord of September, Li the Madman, Ma You, Bao Xuan Dao Ren, and the deceased Jiu Yang Shang Ren was only enough to force out the Dragon Lord's true form. Then, with astonishing physical strength, they broke free from the restraints of the Taiping Mother Talisman, used the Immortal Court's phantom to block part of the attack, and withstood the remaining damage to directly attack Jiu Yang Shang Ren.

Master Jiuyang, confident in his peak fourth-order body tempering realm, believed he was not much weaker than the Dragon Lord's demonic body. He transformed into a great sun and confidently unleashed a palm strike.

Unexpectedly, the dragon claw shattered the Nine Yang Master's palm and broke his body in half.

"Over the past thousand years, I have collected more than thirty volumes of your human race's top-level body-forging techniques and studied them carefully... I must say, although they were all created by imitating our own race at the beginning, they have now embarked on a completely new path and have many novel ideas and things to learn."

Long Jun revealed a complex smile, which seemed both sarcastic and sincere.

"This man still views things through the lens of the past; his death was not unjust... Today, I will leave you all here, watering the soil with the blood of the Great True Monarch of the Human Race, making it a new holy land for our race, so that future generations will forever remember my mighty name!"

"Is that so? I'm afraid that day will never come."

Several demonic beasts behind the Dragon Lord suddenly exploded, including a fourth-order golden toad shaped like a hill. With a single lick of its long tongue, a scream would be heard, and some cultivators would be swept up and swallowed.

The golden toad didn't understand what was happening. Starting from its long tongue, it was torn in the middle and neatly split in half.

The enormous demonic body crashed to the ground, spilling its filthy blood and internal organs everywhere.

From the space that split open by the golden toad, a young man holding a sword appeared, his eyes gleaming as he locked onto the Dragon Lord.

"Who are you, spouting such arrogant words... Bai Zichen?"

His dark golden pupils shifted, and the words that the Dragon Lord was about to utter came to an abrupt halt.

Even if one has never seen him in person, but has only seen a similar face in a memory crystal or portrait, his aura and ability to kill the Golden Toad with a single sword strike make him one of the most outstanding among all human cultivators.

When narrowed down to age and appearance, the person's identity becomes quite obvious.

"I never expected you to have the audacity to appear before me. I thought you would find some remote and desolate place to hide as far away as possible. You should understand that to me, you are far more important than any other human being."

The Dragon Lord turned his demonic body around, and several feet of sharp light shot out from his dark golden pupils, completely ignoring the other four Great True Lords.

"Looks like he's caught up in the heat of the moment and wants to go to the underworld like the other two-legged creatures!"

"Fellow Daoists, leave this place to me... Please send reinforcements elsewhere, lest those transformed demons escape!"

Bai Zichen ignored Long Jun and instead cupped his hands in greeting to his fellow Daoists.

"Young friend Bai, do not be careless. This demon is only one step away from the fifth rank, and its strength is almost close to that of the Hongfa Saint Monarch before his breakthrough... Moreover, that extraordinary treasure, apart from the limitation on its activation frequency, is ten times more terrifying than a top-grade Tongtian spiritual treasure!"

The Taoist Master Baoxuan held a talisman in his hand, his expression relaxed somewhat, though the sleeve of his left arm had been torn off in the fierce battle just now.

Of all the people here, only he and Bai Zichen had had direct contact and had established a good relationship.

Because of his close relationship with the Daodezong sect, he knew the true evaluation of this person by the Hongfa Shengjun, and was greatly relieved when he saw him appear.

With such a fresh addition to the team, even if we can't turn the tide, we'll at least avoid a complete defeat.

However, as soon as Bai Zichen said he would fight the Dragon Lord alone, Baoxuan Daoist hurriedly spoke up, fearing that he was young and impetuous and did not know how powerful the Dragon Lord was.

"Indeed, if we join forces, we can surely slay this demon!"

The robes on the body of the Great True Lord of September appeared to be made of lightning, with lightning dragons constantly moving about and exchanging with the divine lightning within his body.

With each entry and exit, the divine lightning deepened in color, and his entire body seemed to be plunged into eternal darkness.

"Please rest assured, everyone. I will not seek my own death if I am not confident. Even if I am no match for this demon, I can still hold it off... Please clear the battlefield quickly, and we will have time to encircle and annihilate this demon later."

Bai Zichen's gaze met the dark gold pupils, and he spoke.

Because the Dragon Lord had diverted too much of their energy, the high-level human cultivators did not perform well against the transformed demons, only managing to drag the battle to a draw by relying on one secret treasure after another and their numerical advantage.

Once the four Great True Lords are freed, the situation on the battlefield will immediately reverse.

Moreover, he had been waiting for this battle with the Dragon Lord since the Foundation Establishment stage.

Based on his own combat habits, once the Star River Sword Formation is activated, it is not suitable for other cultivators to join.

"go!"

Li Fengzi remained silent until this moment, when he coldly uttered a single word, then withdrew his sword and left without any hesitation.

The Azure Lotus Sword light had already slashed towards the nearest transformed demon, quickly closing in, and after several sword strikes, severed limbs and legs flew up.

As a fellow top-tier sword cultivator, he sensed Bai Zichen's unyielding will and respected his fellow cultivator's choice.

A sense of tragic heroism even arose in his heart, feeling that Bai Zichen's actions were a trade of his own life with the Dragon Lord, so as to free up manpower to kill as many other great demons as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Fengzi's sword light became even more frenzied, his sword going astray and completely devoid of any sword path.

Every move is a perfect unity of body and sword, just like a beginner swordsman in the Foundation Establishment stage. Each sword strike carries the momentum of dying together with the enemy, and it looks like they are actively heading towards the most dangerous place.

With an unnatural turn of the sword light, it took the life of the demon beast once more.

The sword wounds on each fallen monster were barely visible without close inspection; only a few vital areas, such as the brow, throat, and chest, would show extremely small cuts.

Ma You looked at the battlefield with a complicated expression, then flew to the other side.

The Great True Monarch of September snorted coldly, and with a flash of lightning, he instantly appeared above the head of the Golden-Winged Roc.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed clusters of divine lightning, forming a lightning net that restricted the Golden-Winged Roc's most prized speed advantage.

Daoist Baoxuan sighed, stamped his foot, and then, with a flash of inspiration, went to help Hong Zhenjun of the Daode Sect deal with the white ape.

"You don't really think that your confidence to defeat me... comes from defeating those juniors?"

Dragon Lord watched the whole thing quietly, looking him up and down.

“Tell me the location of the sacred beast’s blood essence, and I can let your soul reincarnate. Otherwise, under the Dragon Clan’s soul-searching secret technique, you will suffer endless torment and still have to tell the truth.”

The following sentence was not made public, but was transmitted secretly.

Bai Zichen suddenly smiled, "Just as I thought."

Upon learning that the sacred beast's essence blood was a drop of blood from a true spirit-level divine beast, he concluded that the Dragon Lord would never reveal this to other demon races.

If it is merely a fifth-order opportunity, then telling Ao Laolong the truth would be fine, and the Nascent Soul Demon Lord would not harbor any disloyal thoughts because of it.

But the essence and blood from the true spirit have a completely different meaning.

If it falls into the hands of the Dragon Lord, it can evolve again with this bloodline. Not to mention the Demon Venerable, it is even possible to cultivate to the Demon Saint realm after ascending to the Heavenly Demon Realm.

It's even possible to take this opportunity to glimpse the realm of demon gods.

No demon would willingly give up such an opportunity.

If others were to find out, not only would Ao Laolong be tempted, but even powerful figures in the Heavenly Demon Realm would be interested.

"That's a two-way street. You want to kill me and steal my life essence, and I want to eliminate you to prevent future troubles and avenge past grievances..."

Bai Zichen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a slight twitch of his fingers, a truly earth-shattering event occurred.

"Today, I will cut off the dragon's feet and chew its flesh, so that your dynasty may never return!"

Like a declaration of war, before the words, filled with murderous intent, had even finished, stars rose up from all directions, the sky turned upside down, and the world changed.

Under the boundless starry sky, even the thousand-foot-long golden dragon appears less enormous.

A phantom of a celestial court rose up simultaneously, and they all chose to make their move at almost the same time, but the Dragon Lord was a step too slow.

Previously, the two should have been evenly matched, and the Star River Sword Formation might not have been able to cover the Dragon Lord, with a very high probability that it would be pushed aside by the Celestial Court's illusory image.

However, after this period of seclusion, Bai Zichen's swordsmanship has made significant progress.

Even if it's not yet a true example of one sword creating myriad laws, it has reached the limit in terms of sword light differentiation and has already touched upon the concept of one sword forming an array.

The speed at which the Star River Sword Formation was set up was at least 50% faster than before.

The sword formation takes shape step by step, almost invisible as the sword light lands.

The twelve stars exerted their power simultaneously, operating at full capacity from the very beginning, like a millstone of heaven and earth that had been accelerated, aiming to grind the Dragon Lord in the formation into dust.

When the illusory image of the Celestial Court unfolded in reality and cold flames burst forth, he truly understood for the first time why so many Great True Monarchs had perished on this place.

Countless sword lights played a rapid melody in the illusory image of the celestial court, like pearls of all sizes falling onto a jade plate, without a single drop being damaged.

Wherever the cold flames passed, the sword light dissipated, and even the stars would violently tremble.

It was quite obvious that even with the enhancements in the Star River Sword Formation, making its quality equivalent to a fifth-tier flying sword, the fourth-tier flying sword still struggled against the cold flames.

Fortunately, there are now three fifth-tier flying swords available in the formation. By switching the positions of the stars, they can still withstand the cold flames.

What Bai Zichen didn't know was that, compared to his surprise at the illusory image of the Celestial Court, the Dragon Lord was even more shocked.

The ambush by the five demons failed, with two injured and three dead. Afterwards, the Dragon Lord investigated the matter thoroughly and communicated with both the Rainbow Phoenix and the White Ape.

With its knowledge, it also judged that Bai Zichen relied on the Star River Sword Formation, which was quite famous in ancient times. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, it left an amazing memory in the cultivation world.

Thus, it can be determined that Bai Zichen has inherited the mantle of the Taibai Sword Sect.

It knew, of course, that every true disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect was on the demon race's kill list, and was the 'demon that every demon in the Heavenly Demon Realm should kill.'

However, he did not reveal this to the public. His plan was that if Bai Zichen could not hide, he would use this as an excuse to ask the Heavenly Demon Realm to find him.

It was actually well-prepared for the power of the Star River Sword Formation.
