Yunmeng Immortal Clan

On the banks of the Qingjiang River in the Yunling Mountains, as that powerful divine sense attacked, a blue dragon, shrouded in wind and rain, rolled in mid-air, revealing its true form.

The entire body of the azure dragon was enveloped in a hazy azure light.

The azure dragon in mid-air exuded an extremely strong aura, giving the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators present a sense of oppression.

Accumulated soil forms mountains, where wind and rain arise; accumulated water forms deep pools, where dragons are born.

The dragon, a mythical beast, holds a mysterious place in the hearts of most Qi Refining cultivators. Even in the world of cultivation, dragons are legendary creatures.

The Azure Cloud Flood Dragon does indeed have some bloodline connection with the legendary true dragon, but due to its long lineage, its bloodline is very thin, and by the time it reaches the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon clan, there is almost no dragon blood left.

"Human cultivators, I am the newly crowned Ancestor of Ten Thousand Beasts of the Cloud Ridge Mountains. If you obediently surrender and become our beast slaves, I might spare your lives. But if you are ungrateful and continue to resist, I will lead my beast army to utterly trample your pride!"

The Azure Cloud Flood Dragon before them was already as intelligent as a human cultivator. It was quick-witted, capable of commanding large armies, and fluent in both human and demon beast languages. It was only missing a physical body to be a true human.

The Azure Cloud Flood Dragon is of the Earth Demon bloodline. In fact, some flood dragons in the cultivation world have cultivation talents of at least the Earth Demon bloodline. Given enough time and effort, they can successfully cultivate to the level of a third-tier demon beast comparable to a human Core Formation cultivator.

After the mysterious disappearance of the old generation's fourth-tier demonic beast, the Myriad Beast Demon Ancestor, who was comparable to a human Nascent Soul cultivator, this Azure Cloud Flood Dragon, through a series of means, finally became the new generation's Myriad Beast Demon Ancestor.

With the resources of the entire Yunling Mountain Range, there is an endless supply of bloodlines for it to devour. Given time, it will surely become a fourth-order transformed demon beast.

For a demon beast to leapfrog from the third tier to become a fourth-tier transformed demon beast, the probability of success is even lower than that of a human cultivator who breaks through their core to become an infant.

The Azure Cloud Flood Dragon hovered in mid-air, below which were countless demonic beasts with bloodshot eyes. The beasts in their beast tide state were extremely violent. As long as the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon above gave a command, these demonic beasts would flood across the Qingjiang River like a torrent.

Upon hearing Qingyun Jiao's words, all the cultivators present became solemn.

Humans and demon beasts are completely different individuals. The Azure Cloud Flood Dragon in front of them is indeed terrifying, but if they really submit to the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon's intimidation and become slaves of the demon beast, although they may be able to keep their lives, their personal freedom will be dominated by the beast. Naturally, the cultivators from Yunmeng Immortal Continent and Tianchu Immortal Continent present will not easily submit.

"Very good! You human cultivators are truly tough, not a single one of you has surrendered. In that case, demon beast army, follow me and crush these human corpses!" The Azure Cloud Flood Dragon rode the clouds and rain, coldly issuing the order.

As soon as these words were spoken, the demonic beasts present surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, attacking the human cultivators' battlefield from all directions.

"Fight!" shouted one of the cultivators from the Zhuxi Sect.

These cultivators each refined their own magical treasures, and then unleashed spells of various attributes upon the demonic beasts.

The battle was about to begin, and it was in full swing when suddenly a rumbling sound came from mid-air.

Countless spirit boats, each over three hundred feet long, sped out from the clouds.

The countless cultivators present stared wide-eyed. The spirit boat before them was no ordinary object, but a strategic weapon of various sects.

This kind of spirit boat cannot be made by simple weapon-refining methods. Its interior also incorporates many long-lost principles of formations and restrictions.

Ordinary cultivation forces neither need nor can afford such spirit boats; in fact, they have no need for them.

Because ordinary cultivators would need to consume a massive amount of spirit stones to operate such a spirit boat. While sects of this caliber could ignore such a loss of spirit stones, for individual cultivators or small cultivation forces, the spirit boat might consume a lifetime's worth of spirit stones in the very first few minutes of operation.

At the very back of the human battlefield, Master Liu and Master Zuo transformed into two streaks of rainbow light, hovering high in the sky, overlooking the entire situation and keeping a watchful eye on every move of the azure dragon opposite them.

As for the actions of the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators below, these two Core Formation cultivators clearly did not pay much attention to them.

Whether these cultivators live or die is of no importance to these two Core Formation cultivators.

In fact, it's not that they can't make a move, but that they are unable to. The battle between Core Formation cultivators is precise down to every single bit of magical power.

The battle between Core Formation cultivators is like a game of strategy. If they waste too much mana on such trivial matters, they will be unable to resist the attack of the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon, ultimately leading to the complete collapse of the war.

"You mere wild dragon, a creature hatched from an egg and covered in fur, has only managed to gather in the mountains and forests by chance and has gained the support of some beasts. How dare you be so presumptuous? Why don't you come and fight us?" Master Zuo said, his hands behind his back, his eyes looking down at the Azure Cloud Dragon.

Upon hearing this, the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon's eyes immediately blazed with fierce flames. With a spit from its mouth, a beam of azure flame, capable of destroying heaven and earth, was unleashed directly at the two Core Formation cultivators.

This cyan flame was extremely unusual. From a distance, it appeared as a small dot of light, but this small dot of light rapidly expanded, transforming into a beam of cyan light.

"Oh no! This is the Azure Ink Spirit Fire, a high-level spell cultivated by this third-tier demonic beast. Although it hasn't reached the level of a divine power, its power is extraordinary. We cultivators absolutely cannot afford to touch even the slightest trace of it..."

Some wise cultivators had already fled to the side and escaped the calamity, while others only reacted when the fire was right in front of them, but it was too late, and they were directly turned into ashes in the azure flames.

Some cultivators were even affected by the embers of this extremely strange flame, which ignited their bodies. They were unable to dispel the flames no matter what they did, and were eventually burned to ashes right in front of the cultivators.

The flames reached the two Core Formation cultivators in an instant, and each of them unleashed their own magical treasures.

The magic weapon refined by Master Zuo was a golden mirror, while Master Liu's magic weapon was a silver bracelet.

The two magical artifacts spun around in mid-air, barely managing to neutralize the attack of the strange flames.

Magical artifacts are for Qi Refining cultivators, spiritual artifacts are for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and magical treasures are for Core Formation cultivators.

Both were Core Formation cultivators in the early stage, and having two or three low-grade magic treasures was already considered a very wealthy position.

As for mid-grade magic treasures, they are treasures that early-stage Core Formation cultivators can only dream of but never obtain.
