After the Skyfall

Chapter 498 World Dragon
When Li Yi picked the golden apple, he had already anticipated that danger would come. After all, it was impossible for him to take away such a treasure so easily. However, he did not expect that the danger here would be so terrible. When the sharp claws that covered the sky and the sun fell, his soul was frantically warning.

This blow was enough to kill him. Even though he had divine blood and was wearing dragon armor, he could not resist it.

The terrifying force was transmitted merely through the air, yet it already forced his legs down and his body hunched over, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. Even with a force of ten thousand pounds, it would be difficult to move the mountain.

"Does this level of powerful creatures exist in this world?" Li Yi's face suddenly changed, but he could not care about anything else at this moment.

Picking eight golden apples is the limit.

If you are more greedy, you won’t even have enough time to cast a spell and escape. No matter how good the thing is, you have to live to use it.

"Ride the mist."

In an instant, Li Yi activated his Taoist magic, and the magical power surged around him, and the surrounding clouds and mist surrounded him. His entire figure was immediately hidden in it and disappeared.

Subsequently.

The huge hand with scaly claws came down with a bang.

The earth was cracking, the mountains were shaking, and there were constant roars. This secret realm seemed to have ushered in the end of the world and seemed to be destroyed by this blow. This power was extremely terrifying, and it was difficult for anything to survive such an attack. Even a cultivator like Li Yi who was in the fifth qi realm could only use Taoist magic to protect himself.

The clouds and mist that filled the air also dissipated with the smoke at this moment, but at the same time, a piece of cloud and mist condensed out again and turned into a ball of crimson auspicious cloud, shuttling between the collapsed mountains at an extremely fast speed. Faced with the falling of the collapsed mountain, the auspicious cloud turned into clouds and mist and dispersed, and then gathered together again to form a ball of auspicious cloud and fled.

Between gathering and dispersing, he switched back and forth between the art of soaring clouds and the art of riding mist, allowing Li Yi to escape from danger again and again at the fastest speed.

In just a few seconds, Li Yi had escaped far away and left the most dangerous area.

"It was really dangerous. I almost lost my life."

A auspicious cloud landed on a mountain in the distance, and Li Yi's figure appeared. He subconsciously wiped his forehead and broke out in a cold sweat.

What kind of creature is that that is so terrifying?

However, huge noises continued to be heard in the distance. Countless mountains were disintegrating. The previous gem valley seemed to have experienced crustal movement at this moment. It had been lifted high into the sky by a huge force. Countless treasures fell and splashed between the collapsed valleys.

The culprit that caused all this was actually a wing.

At the same time, Li Yi also saw that the hill where the golden apple trees were planted had turned into a huge head at some point. The head raised up, and then the rocks cracked, revealing a huge black vertical pupil.

It turned out to be a dragon head.

But this is not a first-class dragon, but a giant dragon in Western mythology.

But this dragon was too huge. Its body was like a mountain, its wings were like canyons, and its huge claws could cover the sky when it raised them. Just by standing up, it almost destroyed everything in this secret realm. The tree that grew the golden apple was now parasitic on the dragon's head.

The roots are densely packed, like blood vessels, spread all over the dragon's body, and are constantly absorbing the dragon's essence. Some of the thick blood vessels seem to contain special life, and there is the sound of a wriggling heartbeat.

"This dragon is actually parasitized by an apple tree." Li Yi found it hard to imagine at this moment.

Although the golden apple tree was only a few meters tall, its roots, like blood vessels underneath, were like a blood-red net that captured the giant dragon and parasitized various parts of its body. If they were touched, it would cause great pain to the dragon.

Just now he picked eight golden apples, which made the old tree spirit angry. He shook his body, and his roots like blood vessels were pulled. The severe pain finally awakened the sleeping dragon.

But he really couldn't imagine who would be so cruel as to plant the golden apple tree in the body of such a huge dragon.

Roar!
However, the awakened dragon roared, and the huge sound waves of its roar echoed. In an instant, the rubble turned into powder, and everything in the valley ceased to exist.

While roaring in pain, the dragon raised its head, and then the sky seemed to be on fire, and an astonishing heat wave emanated. Under the sweeping heat wave, the sand and gravel were melting, and after the melted and cooled, the gravel formed new gems.

This is also the origin of the Gem Valley.

Because the valley is the lowest, the magma will flow to the lowest place.

A burst of light emerged from the dragon's throat, dazzlingly bright. It wanted to open its mouth to spit out flames, but it couldn't open its mouth because it was covered with dense red blood vessels. These blood vessels were the roots of the golden apple tree, which sealed its mouth like needles and thread. Not only did it seal the dragon's mouth, it also entangled its wings, locking it firmly in this secret realm.

Flames splashed out from the remaining gap in the dragon's mouth. The fire was as bright as gold, extremely yang and strong, like the sun setting, revealing a scorching corner.

But it is this fire in this corner that ignites everything and melts everything.

"Not good." Li Yi hurriedly flipped his palm and took out the Xuanhuang Seal, then poured magic power into it. The Xuanhuang Seal flew above his head and dropped talismans. These talismans wrapped it up, resisting the incredible heat wave and avoiding the risk of him being baked to death.

But even so, he didn't feel good. The whole world seemed to be melting. If the golden flames were not extinguished, once his magic power was exhausted, it would be very dangerous.

But this is just the aftermath.

If that ball of golden fire were to come at him, Li Yi suspected that he would melt directly. After all, he was unable to fully unleash the power of a top-level Taoist weapon at the moment.

"The strength of this giant dragon is definitely not inferior to Xuan Yuezi. If it weren't parasitized by the golden apple tree, it might be able to defeat Xuan Yuezi in its peak state." Feeling this power, Li Yi vaguely had this thought in his mind.

However, the awakened dragon did not seem to be targeting Li Yi. It seemed to be targeting the dark sky above its head. The golden fire also wanted to burn away the darkness in the sky, but after being trapped, its body was parasitized and it was powerless to do it.

The dragon kept roaring and struggling, but its strength was getting weaker and weaker. The golden flames could not melt the blood-red blood vessels. Finally, it drooped its head helplessly, and its huge body once again lay on the ground like a mountain, breathing heavily. "Kill, kill that barbaric robber thief, go find him quickly, and never let him live." However, the old tree spirit of the golden apple tree was still scolding. It shook its body, pulled the dense blood-red roots, and stimulated the dragon with pain, making it roar again.

The sound wave hit and everything turned to dust.

Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly poured in his magic power and once again made the Xuanhuang Seal above his head drop a few talismans.

Fortunately, the sound wave attack was successfully resisted.

But his figure was also exposed.

Because there is no way to hide in this place. With such a large-scale attack, you will be exposed unless you can escape from here.

"There, find the robber. Kill him and I can save you ten years of suffering."

The old tree spirit let out a sharp cry, the sound was extremely piercing, like a steel needle inserted into a person's ear, making it unbearable. At the same time, it squirmed the other half of its roots, pulling the dragon, as if trying to control the dragon and make it act according to the old tree spirit's ideas.
The dragon's head let out a dull roar at this moment, and it shook its body. Although it was very reluctant, the extreme pain forced it to twist its body in another direction.

And this rotation was aimed exactly at Li Yi's position.

A pair of giant dragon eyes were now staring at Li Yi.

What is somewhat strange is that the dragon's other eye does not have a black vertical pupil, but a golden vertical pupil. The expressions of the two eyes, one black and one gold, are completely different. The black eye is cold and evil, revealing ruthless cruelty, but the golden vertical pupil is full of pain and torture, revealing human helplessness and fatigue.

"Hurry up and spit out dragon flames to melt this hateful robber and thief. Not even his corpse can be left. He stole my golden apple and I will make him pay with his life." The old tree spirit gave the order loudly and at the same time it loosened a part of the bloody roots, leaving some space in the dragon's sealed mouth to facilitate the dragon flame to spit out.

The dragon's throat glowed with hot light again, and the golden fire like the sun appeared again.

"Oh no." Li Yi's hair stood on end at this moment. He felt an unimaginable terrifying crisis.

Don't care about anything else.

The auspicious clouds under his feet suddenly rose into the sky and turned into a red light that fled far away. He distanced himself from it as quickly as possible to avoid being covered by the golden fire. At the same time, he also took out the purple gold gourd.

If the golden flames attacked him, he would immediately hide in the purple gold gourd and use this Taoist tool to avoid the fate of being melted.

I hope the purple gold gourd can withstand the dragon flame.

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?" The old tree spirit pulled all the bloody roots, stinging the dragon's whole body and even its soul.

"Roar!"

The next moment, the dragon roared, and the golden flames at the corners of the dragon's mouth suddenly gushed out. It was much more terrifying than Li Yi's wind-calling technique. In an instant, it covered everything in the distance, burning the sky's pupils, and countless sparks fell, and the ground was melting.

Li Yi thought he was going to be hit and was about to enter the purple gold gourd, but then he found that the golden flame was sprayed to the other side of him and not aimed at him.

"Damn idiot, you sprayed in the wrong direction." The old man in the woods shouted.

The giant dragon then shook its head and moved its body. The gushing golden flames did not stop and began to move towards the direction where Li Yi was.

But the movement is not fast.

For some reason, Li Yi had a feeling that the dragon did not want to kill him.

Otherwise, it is impossible for a creature that can breathe fire and has been breathing fire for a lifetime to breathe the fire in the wrong direction the first time. This is as outrageous as a tiger that has been hunting for a lifetime and now is chasing a rabbit and its eyes are blurry, so it pounces on a tree stump on the other side.

The one who really wanted to kill him was the spirit of the golden apple tree.

The dragon seemed to be controlled and unable to be free.

But facing the golden dragon flame that was getting closer and closer, Li Yi didn't dare to gamble. He gave up on escaping and directly used the purple gold gourd to suck himself into it.

With the disappearance of Li Yi.

The next moment, golden dragon flame suddenly appeared and instantly engulfed Li Yi and everything around him.

"Good, very good. Haha, this abominable robber has paid the price for his greed and stupidity this time." The old tree spirit laughed when he saw this. "World Dragon, you are becoming more and more obedient. This is very good. You can sleep well for the next ten years. This is my reward to you."

This giant dragon named World Dragon then quickly retracted its dragon flame, and its huge body slowly crawled down again. Its golden vertical pupil looked at the purple-gold gourd that was swallowed by magma in the distance, and then it exhaled, setting off a storm, and the magma churned, submerging everything.

But at this moment.

Li Yi, who was inside the purple gold gourd, did not dare to be careless at all. He looked at the wall that had been burned red and felt terrified, fearing that this Taoist weapon would melt.

But fortunately, this situation did not occur.

The temperature inside the purple gold gourd dropped rapidly again.

Apparently, the dragon flame outside stopped spewing out very quickly.
