Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 340 Shattering and Reforging
Dragons belong to the water element, and the North Sea is close to the far north. As the North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun, ice plays a major role in the rules he controls. Now, surrounded by ice dust, he not only remains calm but also reveals a sinister smile.

He planned to take this opportunity to provoke Qiu Chuji, and if he could severely injure Qiu Chuji with one blow, that would be even better.

In any case, Evil Peach only asked him not to harm Qiu Chuji's life, not that he couldn't teach him a profound lesson or seriously injure him.

However, his smile quickly crumbled, as Qiu Chuji activated the Five Elements Array he had already set up, and the ice dust covering Ao Shun's body transformed into flames that continued to burn on his body.

Ao Shun's active absorption made the flames stick very tightly to his body, and he couldn't shake them off.

Ao Shun immediately felt uncomfortable and rolled into the waves, thrashing about.

Indeed, the dragons were suppressed in the magma, and the three dragon kings even stirred up magma to cover the entire Chen Tang Pass, making it seem as if they could control the magma.

But in reality, the harsh living conditions of prisoners are what truly demonstrate their punishment. The three dragon kings' destruction of Chen Tang Pass by unleashing magma was merely a diversionary tactic, not a result of their own abilities.

Having been immersed in magma for many years, Ao Shun still couldn't get used to the feeling of being burned by flames. At this moment, the ice dust turned into raging fire, making Ao Shun restless and agitated.

"Little Taoist! You have angered me!" Ao Shun fully unfurled his hundred-zhang dragon body, his massive form churning in the sea, a huge whirlpool rising from the seabed into the sky.

Bang bang bang!
A large number of sharp, knife-like scales shot out from Ao Shun's body, each scale taking away a cluster of fiery color.

The scales, carrying flames, scattered in all directions before converging in one place, firmly enveloping Qiu Chuji.

The power of the five elements transformed into a millstone, which rotated around Qiu Chuji.

The five-colored light curtain firmly protected him, extinguishing the flames.

However, it's not so easy to simply neutralize a powerful attack from the Dragon King of the North Sea.

boom!
In an instant, the light screen shattered, and Qiu Chuji glided for more than ten miles along the churning sea. The sword energy surrounding him cleaved a gaping hole in the sea that could not be healed for a long time.

Lines like ice cracks spread across Qiu Chuji's face, then gradually healed.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Qiu Chuji laughed loudly: "Good! As expected of the Dragon King! That's impressive!"

"Come again!"

High above the clouds, Nezha and a few others fought against the immortals of Kunlun, but they were simply outmatched and soon found themselves in a predicament.

"Second brother! Go and help the third brother. Don't let him really lose to a junior and disgrace our dragon clan." Ao Run said to Ao Qin, looking at the battle between Qiu Chuji and Ao Shun below.

Ao Qin, carrying a fiery red axe, nodded and then descended on a cloud.

In the sky, fiery red clouds piled up and then pressed down heavily on Qiu Chuji's position.

Fighting one dragon is difficult enough, let alone another one?
Qiu Chuji was not about to sit idly by and wait for his death. In a flash, he reappeared on the Tianyuan Cauldron and headed straight to join Nezha and Ao Bing.

As for the plan to slay the Dragon King, let's not rush into it for now.

When Nezha unleashes his power, and the aquatic creatures of the East Sea are unsealed and fight alongside the immortals of Kunlun, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities.

"Where to run!"

"Take this!" Seeing Qiu Chuji flee in terror, Ao Qin was filled with smugness. He chased after Qiu Chuji, his red mist billowing around him.

A dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of whom are different.

Among the Four Dragon Kings, only Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, is a pure-blooded dragon. Ao Run has obvious snake-like characteristics, Ao Shun is like a lizard, and Ao Qin is like a toad. Why are the bloodlines of the Dragon Kings not pure? We will not investigate this here, but because of their different tendencies, the abilities of the Four Dragon Kings are not the same.

Ao Shun, who had previously fought Qiu Chuji, was fast and explosive, like a deadly assassin.

Qiu Chuji was least afraid of this type of opponent.

As for Ao Qin... he's a tank with a negative aura all over his body. Not only is it difficult to break through his defense, but once you get entangled with him, it's easy for Ao Shun to take a surprise attack and hit you hard.

Facing Ao Qin's axe, Qiu Chuji continued to dodge, intentionally leading him towards the opening of the Tianyuan Cauldron, which was not yet fully closed. At the same time, Nezha and Ao Bing, who should have been fighting the two Dragon Kings, were now forced to the cauldron's opening by the deer boy and the crane boy.

Before his outburst, Nezha was no match for Lu Tong, who had stopped slacking off. He found it increasingly difficult to defend himself against Lu Tong's dense rain of arrows.

"Watch out!" Li Jing shouted from afar.

Nezha was distracted for a moment and was instantly shot through the shoulder by an arrow from the deer boy, falling into the Tianyuan Cauldron.

Ao Bing reached out to grab it, but was pulled in as well.

Li Jing and Lady Yin then rushed in as well, disregarding the danger.

Qiu Chuji seized the opportunity, suddenly stopped, and with a flick of his Five Elements Wheel, two tentacles flew out, tightly grabbing the two dragon kings, Ao Shun and Ao Qin. Then he leaped into the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, simultaneously activating the Thousand-Pound Drop.

Seeing that his two brothers were bound and about to be dragged into the Tianyuan Cauldron, Ao Run unleashed a Sky-Splitting Slash, attempting to sever the tentacles that Qiu Chuji had created using the Great Five Elements Wheel.

One of the tentacles was severed, and Ao Qin escaped unscathed, but the other tentacle deftly avoided the attack that ripped through the air.

Ao Shun was pulled into the Tianyuan Cauldron by Qiu Chuji.

Bang!
The Tianyuan Cauldron has been completely and officially closed.

Qiu Chuji conjured the Great Five Elements Wheel and quietly landed behind Madam Yin's collar, preparing in advance.

At the same time, feeling the omnipresent refining power within the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, it actively dragged Ao Shun down to the magma at the bottom.

"Wait! Do we have such a deep grudge?" Being forcibly dragged, about to fall into the magma and be swept into the place where the refining power was most concentrated, Ao Shun was completely distraught.

At this moment, under the suppression of the Tianyuan Cauldron, Ao Shun's strength was reduced to less than 30% of his normal level. Faced with Qiu Chuji's forceful dragging, he was even less able to resist, let alone fight again.

He admitted that he had spoken a little too loudly and arrogantly before.

But... that's not all!

Qiu Chuji didn't waste any words and continued to fall.

The refinement of the Heavenly Origin Cauldron had an effect on him, but this effect was probably different from that of others.

The unique properties of the lotus root were fully activated by the special refining power of the Heavenly Origin Cauldron.

It's like... there was always such a process, but it was only completed at this moment.

Below, densely packed, are the imprisoned aquatic creatures of the East Sea.

They were bound by chains and connected to a huge iron rod stuck diagonally in the lava, which made it impossible for them to scatter and escape when threatened.

The refining power of the Heavenly Origin Cauldron is now erupting, and all the aquatic creatures are fleeing upwards, fearing that if they remain below, they will be the first to be refined.

Only Qiu Chuji, dragging Ao Shun downstream, plunged fiercely into the depths of the magma.

Deep within the magma, countless 'elixirs' obtained from aquatic creatures with lower refining abilities were soaking in the magma, swaying constantly with the rise and fall of the magma. Some elixirs would dissipate after a short time, while the more refined energy within would merge into the other elixirs nearby.

Those of weak strength do not even qualify to become a single elixir.

Even the most ordinary and common elixir can only increase one's cultivation level by one year.

Qiu Chuji flipped over and straddled Ao Shun's back, pressing his feet down on Ao Shun's spine and causing him to continue sinking downwards. At the same time, this physical body was about to reach its limit under this enormous refining power.

Qiu Chuji was different from Nezha after all. He had been actively activating the potential of this lotus root body for a long time, and now he was actively diving into the deepest part of the refining power. He completely kicked away the last step.

boom!
The explosion occurred suddenly, and Qiu Chuji's physical body shattered in the magma.
