Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 1113 The Primal Dragon Emperor
On the ancient sacred mountain, amidst the watchful eyes of everyone, Long Yi finally knocked on the eighth gate of light!

clang!
A deafening roar erupted, the sound of the bell scattering the dense atmosphere of the sky!
They've actually made it to the eighth level of the Dragon Gate! Even in the entire Ancient Dragon Realm, it's been a long time since any descendant of dragon blood other than the True Dragon Clan has reached this level!

"Incredible, this is absolutely incredible. So many years have passed, and yet another being has managed to reach the eighth level."

"This time, I'm not facing any other dragon-blooded beings, but myself, and nine other adversaries just like me!"

"I have also heard that the eighth level will completely replicate the strength and cultivation of the challenger in the previous seven levels, and then generate nine identical phantoms."

"How is this possible? How can one possibly win a battle against nine versions of oneself?"

In a sense, this is an absolutely insurmountable trial. Who could defeat nine opponents with the same skills and strength as themselves?

However, the Dragon Gate Heavenly Gate is ultimately inanimate; one can only learn from the strength demonstrated in the previous seven gates to apprehend the nine opponents.

The only chance of winning is to choose to conserve your strength throughout the first seven levels, so that the opponents you imitate will be somewhat lacking.

But the seventh level is a pure-blooded true dragon in the late stage of the Fusion Realm. How easy would it be to preserve one's strength to reach the eighth level?!
Long Yi did indeed have a real trump card he hadn't used yet. He looked at the nine figures that were exactly like himself and took a deep breath.

"Nine Dragons Departing from Fire Formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an unparalleled array diagram unfolded beneath Long Yi's feet, within which nine fiery dragons soared and danced.

Immediately afterwards, he unleashed a black Imperial Dragon Seal with one hand, which landed at the central node of the great formation beneath his feet.

In an instant, the array was fully activated, and the nine true dragons seemed to come alive, suddenly charging towards the nine figures in front.

boom!
The overwhelming force annihilated everything in its path with overwhelming force. The nine figures possessing the combat power of Long Yi himself were instantly destroyed, ravaged by the nine fire dragons within the formation.

This hurdle was cleared too quickly. The trump card he had been hiding was far too powerful and terrifying. This formation combined the power of eight spiritual treasures and one heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, and was Long Yi's last trump card.

Before long, Long Yi sat cross-legged and used spirit stones to fully restore his magical power to a state of abundance.

He finally knocked on the ninth gate of light!

clang!
All living beings in the Ancient Dragon Realm could clearly hear this bell ringing, vast and majestic, as if it had echoed from the ancient and boundless past.

Every living being that heard this bell felt an extremely intense sense of unease, which meant that someone had passed through the eighth level of the Dragon Gate and had knocked on the door of the final barrier!

This challenge will pit you against the most powerful true dragon in the history of the dragon race, the Primal Dragon Emperor!

The original Dragon Emperor ascended to the Realm of True Immortals in the distant ancient times. The fact that the Dragon Clan is now able to achieve such a unified state is all thanks to this supreme True Dragon.

The True Dragon Clan has many branches. Before the Primordial Era, the various clans were not on good terms and often fought and killed each other.

Later, the appearance of the Primordial Dragon Emperor, with his unparalleled power, unified the entire True Dragon Clan, becoming infinitely domineering.

Each subsequent generation of dragon lords only referred to themselves as the dragon clan chief, and dared not call themselves the dragon emperor.

Inside the ninth heavenly gate, an extremely majestic true dragon coiled in the air, watching the figure slowly approaching.

Upon seeing this, Long Yi, dressed in hemp clothing, clasped his hands in greeting to the Dragon Emperor, whose entire body was shrouded in chaotic energy: "Greetings, Dragon Emperor!"

"Has the dragon race weakened to this extent? After so many years, the one who has made it to the Ninth Heavenly Gate is actually a human, with half dragon blood flowing through his veins," the remnant image left behind by the Primordial Dragon Emperor said.

Long Yi explained, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, my ancestors had some dealings with the Dragon Clan, and were therefore granted the Dragon Blood Seed, which has been passed down to this day."

"According to the rules of the ancient dragon realm, any creature with dragon blood in its body can attempt to leap over the Dragon Gate. If it succeeds, it can enter the Dragon Transformation Pool!"

"I have come here today for the Dragon Transformation Pool!"

The primordial dragon emperor's body was shrouded in chaotic mist, and when the mist dissipated, his majestic dragon form was finally revealed.

His body seemed to be cast from nine kinds of immortal metals, and his pupils revealed boundless Daoist charm. Even just a phantom image made Long Yi, who was at the peak of the Integration stage, feel an extremely powerful pressure!

This was the most powerful dragon's might he had ever felt in his life; its bloodline was far too strong, making it the strongest being in the entire history of the dragon race.

The next moment, an illusory incense stick was inserted.

"If you can endure for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you will pass the test," the Primordial Dragon Emperor said indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yi felt as if his scalp was about to explode, and a strong sense of death loomed over his heart.

boom!
A dragon claw that tore through the sky cleaved through space and instantly descended upon Long Yi's head.

It was too fast; there was no time to react. Long Yi only managed to complete half of his dragon transformation before desperately dodging, but it was too late. A bloody gash was cleaved into half of his shoulder.

Before he could continue his dragon transformation, a dragon roar that shattered space resounded throughout the area.

"Roar!"

This dragon roar directly invaded Long Yi's sea of ​​consciousness, causing him to lose his composure and his soul to tremble violently.

Just as he regained consciousness, a dragon's tail swept across him.

boom!
Even though Long Yi had already completed his dragon transformation and his physical strength had increased exponentially, the golden scales on his body were now falling off in a flurry, and shocking cracks were spreading all over his body.

This was not a trial at all; it was a one-sided massacre. Long Yi, who had fought his way through, couldn't even find a chance to fight back.

"Nine Dragons Departing from Fire Formation!" Blood trickled from the corner of Long Yi's mouth as he let out a low, labored roar, intending to retaliate with the formation.

But soon, the Primordial Dragon Emperor exhaled a breath of dragon fire, forcefully breaking through the newly unfolded formation.

Before the nine fire dragons could even take off, they were broken and destroyed one by one!

No chance of winning!

At this moment, Long Yi was in utter despair. He looked at the incense stick that was still burning not far away, and realized that less than a quarter of the time had passed.

"Human brat, you're still far from good enough. Show me what you've got." The Primal Dragon Emperor soared through the sky, his immense dragon might suppressing Long Yi, preventing the latter from even attempting a desperate fight by burning his true dragon blood.

This is suppression from those in high positions, suppression from the very source of one's bloodline!

Long Yi's dragon clan techniques and magic were useless, because the person in front of him was an ancestor of the dragon clan.

Let alone him, even a pure-blooded true dragon would suffer the same fate if it came at this moment; it would definitely not fare much better.

True dragons possess an indestructible body and can often endure the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"I can no longer use the divine powers of the dragon race; I can only fight back with the laws of the human race." Golden light slowly emanated from Long Yi's dim eyes. This was not the dragon blood within him, but the Golden Law he cultivated! The next moment, a golden streak shot out, and the power of the Golden Law condensed into a dragon-slaying blade, slashing horizontally towards the figure of the Primordial Dragon Emperor.

boom!
Before the golden dragon-slaying blade could fall, the Primordial Dragon Emperor's body swayed, and his boundless power shattered the golden Dao Law power.

boom! boom! boom!
Then came a series of attacks, and Long Yi's body was repeatedly knocked away, flying wildly like a kite with a broken string.

When the Primordial Dragon Emperor finally stopped, half of his bones were broken, and the intense pain stimulated his consciousness.

They were no match for him; this primordial dragon emperor was far too powerful.

"Cough cough cough cough!" Long Yi coughed violently, his blood and foam mixed with fragments of internal organs. This was the most terrifying battle he had ever experienced since he began cultivating. He couldn't see any chance of winning, and even trying to stall for time was useless.

The dragon's might emanating from the Primordial Dragon Emperor grew stronger and stronger, seemingly poised to deliver the final blow and ruthlessly kill the human who possessed dragon blood within him.

Just when things were at their most desperate, Long Yi shakily pulled a blood-red pill from his pocket.

Qiongqi Blood Pill!
If Li Qing had known there would be such a battle, he would definitely have given him a few more pills so that he could barely get through it.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Long Yi didn't think too much about it and swallowed the precious pill made from the true blood of the Qiongqi in one gulp.

Gulu~!

In almost an instant, all the broken bones in his body were set, his internal organs were healed immediately, all his injuries were restored in the shortest time, and his blood and qi were replenished.

The effects of the True Spirit Blood Pill had not yet worn off and were still acting on him.

At this moment, Long Yi also briefly possessed an indestructible body, but it would only last for a quarter of an incense stick's time before disappearing.

At this moment, the incense stick had only burned for about half!
The terrifying onslaught came again. The Primordial Dragon Emperor showed no mercy, each strike easily killing a creature at the Integration Stage.

With the indestructible power brought by the True Spirit Blood Pill, Long Yi held on for a while longer, and now only a quarter of an incense stick's time remained!

But as the effects of the True Spirit Blood Pill wore off, his internal strength rapidly dissipated, and these terrible injuries did not have time to heal.

boom!
With a single blow of the Dragon-Suppressing Fist, Long Yi's body was sent flying, blood splattering everywhere, before he crashed heavily to the ground.

Long Yi was almost delirious. He could only subconsciously circulate his cultivation technique to keep his magical power flowing and try his best to recover from his injuries.

"That's somewhat interesting. It's a bit more interesting than those dragon cubs who only know how to tough it out with their immortal bodies, but the difference isn't that big."

"If you survive this final blow, then you've passed the test."

After the Primordial Dragon Emperor finished speaking, a burst of extremely dazzling spiritual light surged between heaven and earth.

boom!
An aura that could suppress all heavens and myriad realms descended, and within that spiritual light, countless true dragons danced.

"Ten Thousand Dragons Ascend to Heaven!"

Each true dragon mixed in with the spiritual light unleashed a devastating power that swept outwards, making Long Yi's figure appear so tiny at this moment.

As he lay dying, the golden dragon bloodline within him, which had been dormant for so long, finally boiled over, and it was a magnificent bloom.

The Golden Dao Law merged with the power of the Golden Dragon bloodline, and his bloodline underwent a second awakening.

In an instant, Long Yi seemed to be sublimated, completely transforming into a golden dragon soaring through the sky.

Rumble!
The golden dragon's body was shattered by the myriad dragons ascending to the sky, and glaring wounds appeared. Beneath the blooming golden scales was the dragon's body, which was about to explode at any moment.

boom!
Before long, the golden dragon fell to the ground, motionless, looking as if it were dead.

But after a while, the golden dragon shrank and transformed into a dragon form, with wounds and covered in blood, and Long Yi reappeared.

"Thank you very much, Dragon Emperor, for your kindness," Long Yi said weakly.

The figure of the Primordial Dragon Emperor gradually dissipated, leaving behind the final words: "You made your own way, kid. You've passed the test."

The moment these words were spoken, outside, atop the ancient divine mountain...

The final gate of the Dragon Gate opened wide, and a dazzling light shot straight into the sky. This spectacular sight could be clearly seen from any corner of the Ancient Dragon Realm.

The ninth heavenly barrier has been broken through!

Wow!
All living beings who witnessed this scene were in an uproar. This was an absolutely incredible feat, because the one who cleared the level was not a pure-blooded true dragon, but merely a descendant of dragon blood.

This is of such profound significance that it is destined to be recorded in the annals of the ancient dragon world.

At the summit of that ancient divine mountain, Long Yi, covered in blood and riddled with wounds, was teleported out, his figure drawing the attention of everyone.

"They actually made it through the Nine Heavens and succeeded in leaping over the Dragon Gate, all with a human body." The giant rock dragon guarding the ancient divine mountain murmured, its huge eyes filled with shock.

Just then, a faint emerald green light flashed.

"Good human brat, I'm going to meet him!" The jade dragon, seeing the opportunity, took flight and rushed towards the summit of the ancient divine mountain.

But in the next instant, a golden killing sword slashed down from the sky, firmly stopping the head of the jade dragon.

“Fellow Daoist of the Dragon Clan, my brother is currently severely injured and should be unable to fight.”

"Why don't you wait until he's fully recovered before challenging him?"

"If you really can't resist the urge to fight, I wouldn't mind exchanging a few moves with you."

The swordsman was naturally Li Qing. His eyes were cold, and he would never allow this green dragon to challenge the already seriously injured Long Yi, who had fought for him until now.

At this moment, the previously boiling atmosphere instantly fell silent, and the group of dragon blood descendants who had come to pay homage all looked at the sky with extremely horrified eyes.

The supreme dragon was actually stopped by a human wielding a sword.

"Has that human gone mad?!"

"That is His Majesty the Jade Dragon, whose status is extremely noble."

Soon, the jade dragon turned around and looked at the tiny human behind him, saying with utter disdain, "You think you're qualified to challenge me? You don't even have a drop of dragon blood in your body, are you looking for death?"
