Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 999 Making the Old Dragon King

[The Master of Nourishing Life]

A mysterious tremor shook the boundary sea, and a vast, boundless ocean enveloped a figure, which then let out a long, unwilling howl:

"hold head high!.!"

Thunder rumbled, causing the seawater to fall, creating changes in clarity and turbidity, and rising with iridescent colors. It struggled desperately, thrashing about in the vast ocean.

However, no matter which direction he went, it was all in vain. So he simply unleashed his full power, revealing his true dragon form, stirring up a raging storm and auspicious clouds that instantly stretched to tens of thousands of feet. Meanwhile, the ocean that imprisoned him also expanded in sync, still firmly pressing him down.

'The Great True Lord! Absolutely the Great True Lord.'

The old dragon king's mood grew heavier and heavier. His dragon eyes dimmed, and he strained his eyes to the limit, but he couldn't even see the person who had plotted against him. All he could see was the vast ocean.

—In vain.

'This is the [Remnant Consciousness of a Celestial Being], and the opponent is a Great True Lord. Even if I self-destruct, it will be futile. Is this my final resting place?'

Despair gradually crept into the old dragon king's eyes.

Meanwhile, outside the vast ocean, Lü Yang stood with his hands behind his back, a smile in his eyes, quietly observing the old dragon king trapped in the ocean.

He did not intend to kill the old dragon king.

'This old mudskipper is actually quite troublesome.'

'Although he appears ordinary, living far away overseas and detached from worldly affairs, considering his relationship with the First Emperor, it's likely that all the Dao Lords are keeping a close eye on him.'

'Under these circumstances, the risk of refining him into a life form is too great, just like in Angxiao's incarnation in the Underworld. I refined Yuan Tu and Fu Yao into life forms, but the Dao Lord discovered them both. Only a True Monarch like Hongyun, who isn't highly regarded, doesn't face much risk.'

Similarly, the phrase "cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest" is also unacceptable.

'My current identity is transcendent; even the Dao Lord cannot see me. If I were to assume the identity of the Old Dragon Lord, it would only create more trouble.'

Just as Lü Yang was pondering.

"My lord! My lord!"

A faint, mournful sound drifted from the vast ocean. It was unclear what method the old Dragon King had used, but somehow a faint sound could still be heard despite the suppression.
"Which lord wishes to take Little Dragon's life?"

"Xiaolong's life is to maintain the seal of the Ancestral Dragon. It cannot be touched. The Ancestral Dragon was personally sealed by the four Immortal Pivot masters. It is of utmost importance."

I beg your mercy.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately raised his eyebrows. The old dragon king's words were both soft and hard, pleading for mercy while also subtly revealing his background.

However, Lü Yang didn't care about any of that. Although he didn't intend to actually take the old Dragon King's life, he wouldn't hesitate to do what needed to be done. He immediately made a hand seal, plunged one hand into the ocean, and pinned the old Dragon King down like a fish on a chopping board before letting out a soft shout:
Where is Minghe?

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying sword light flew out from his sleeve, instantly filling the sky with sword energy and spreading endless sharpness between heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, a clear child's voice rang out from within the sword light: "Slash!"

The sword rang out in harmony with the Dao, and boundless radiance cascaded down like a waterfall. It lightly turned over the old dragon king's head, and the ruler-shaped tree on the old dragon king's head snapped off at the root.

"Ouch!?"

In an instant, the old dragon king's cries of pain rang out, but how could Lü Yang stop? He immediately stretched out his other hand and pressed down on the old dragon king again.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

While begging for mercy, the old dragon king cast some kind of spell, causing his blood and energy to suddenly recede, making him appear as if he had died and lost all his life force.

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang chuckled: "With qi and blood concealed and soul hidden, you're like rotten wood that can't be carved. I didn't expect this old mudfish to have such a secret technique. Did my sword strike hurt you? This method might have been decent in the past, but in front of me now, it's like showing off your skills before an expert."

After saying that, he once again made a hand seal.

The next second, a banner billowing with purple aura appeared behind him, shaking violently, with countless lights and shadows faintly visible on its surface. "Where is the Jade Maiden?"

Lu Yang gave another shout, and the Righteous Path Flag behind him immediately responded. A petite and charming young Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth skipped out from behind it.

Immediately afterwards, she transformed and disintegrated, turning into a swarm of insects that, with the blessing of Lü Yang's status, pounced on the old Dragon Lord's body. They were everywhere, devouring his flesh and blood, making his dragon bones increasingly visible.

The previously restrained energy began to leak out again.

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang changed his spell, and the Tribulation Wave Sword Spirit beside him immediately understood, once again riding a sword light that entered the old dragon king's body.

"Qiang Qiang!"

In an instant, the sound of metal shattering was heard, mixed with the old dragon king's wail, as fine sword energy erupted within the old dragon king's body.

Such methods are tantamount to slow slicing!
After a long while, Lü Yang finally stopped, retrieved the Devouring Qi Mother Worm and the Tribulation Wave, and looked with satisfaction at the mountain of treasures piled up before him.

The dragon's horns are the most prominent, and it occupies the top position.

Below it was a head as large as a mountain, with a crimson beard, a gleaming pearl under its chin, and a reverse scale embedded in its throat.

Below the dragon's head is its body, which resembles a mountain range.

The dragon's spine is in the center, with various dragon bones scattered on the left and right, filled with radiant light, while the essence of the old dragon king's flesh and blood has been condensed into three crimson blood pills.

On the other side, the old dragon king had lost his physical body, leaving only a wisp of a wandering soul that was about to dissipate, held together only by a trace of gold.

After all, what Lü Yang cut off wasn't just his physical body. If it were just his body, he could have easily given it up and simply reincarnated to create another one. But in reality, Lü Yang cut off his physical body along with his corresponding metal-elemental soul, which is why he suffered such a severe blow.

Of course, the quality of the materials obtained by scraping in this way is also the highest.

Whether it's dragon bones, dragon horns, or dragon blood, they all contain his soul and metal essence, a perfect unity of spirit and flesh. There are few treasures in the world that can surpass it.

"Haa. Haa."

Within the Floating Light Sea, the old Dragon King's soul trembled, but he felt no anger or humiliation. Instead, he was filled with relief and joy at surviving the ordeal.

'I survived!'

'Regardless, the lord who attacked me didn't intend to kill me; he only wanted to take my valuable treasures. So there's still a glimmer of hope for me.'

The next second, the voice came again:

"Old Dragon, give me an image of the Great Ocean."

"As ordered!"

Without asking any questions, the old dragon king sensed the [Great Ocean Water] and intercepted a beam of brilliant light that caused the vast waters to ripple and surge.

Seeing this, Lü Yang reached out and took the image of the Great Ocean Water in his hand. He then threw the Old Dragon Lord aside and focused his attention on the treasures scattered on the ground. He gradually calmed his mind and cleared his thoughts, finally taking all the treasures into his palm.

"Boom!"

In an instant, flames ignited in Lü Yang's palm, and the precious materials began to melt. He also threw the image of the Great Ocean Water into it.

'The fourth true treasure!'

In the Golden Core cultivation, the three true treasures combined into the "Seeking the Dao Immortal Method" can elevate one's grotto-heaven and achieve the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. This is both an achievement and a limitation.

Just as the Great True Lord also has the distinction of three or five elements.

Three true treasures are often the limit for a Golden Core True Monarch, and whether one can break through the limit and refine a fourth true treasure is the key to whether one can attain the fruition of enlightenment.

After many years, from the initial expectation to today, I have finally taken the first step in obtaining an air travel permit!
