Fairy, help me cultivate.

Yun Li's hand, which had been touching Chen Yao's face, fell limply as she fainted.

The once calm pool now rises to form a continuous mountain range.

The cascading water resembles the undulating, long mountain range of a dragon.

On each of the mountain-like arched spines, a ferocious vertical pupil opened.

Chen Yao looked around and saw only green "mountain shadows" everywhere in the misty rain. He was already surrounded by this giant dragon's body.

"I never imagined you could restore her to her senses."

On the blue dragon spine directly in front of Chen Yao, an old woman with white hair sat cross-legged.

"You're the one who caused my senior sister to become like this?"

"Ha, that's her true self. I'm just helping her to recognize herself."

The old woman took out the Frost Jade from her bosom and tossed it around, a smirk playing on her lips: "You're really something, getting all lovey-dovey with a beast..."

"Who are you calling a beast?" Chen Yao retorted angrily.

The old woman chuckled: "Don't you understand?"

She gently tapped the dragon's body beneath her: "Fellow Daoist Zhuming, tell me, isn't she a beast?"

A sound like muffled thunder came from all directions.

"She is the last true dragon in the South China Sea... Little one, hand her over to me..."

The dragon's spine flipped over, shaking the old woman off.

The old woman took to the air, pursed her lips, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhuming, it was just a joke, why are you getting so angry?"

"How can a true dragon be compared to a beast?"

A thunderous roar echoed from the bottom of the lake, shaking the entire lake and mountains.

The old woman sneered, "Don't forget, to absorb the last true dragon into your body and achieve the supreme Nine-Headed Serpent body, you still need me!"

"The Frosty Jade has been preserved for you for a hundred years and infused with dragon poison. That is the reward you deserve."

A muffled thunderclap sounded again from the bottom of the lake.

The old woman tossed aside the Frost Jade and fell silent, instead looking at Chen Yao.

Her gaze was almost tangible, piercing straight into Chen Yao's eyes.

Chen Yao felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and his hands went limp, almost losing his grip on Yun Li.

The dragon's massive body, as large as a mountain, began to swim excitedly in the pool.

Chapter Eighty-Six: Xuanqiong Dao Jade Suppressing Demon True Monarch

"what--"

A scream echoed over the Azure Wave Pool.

The old woman plunged straight into the pool.

The water rose high, and a sharp, mountain-like object emerged, catching her.

After a long while, the old woman finally raised her blood-soaked face and carefully opened her bloodshot eyes.

"impossible!"

"Yun Li has already fallen for the tricks of my True Demon Eye, how could you possibly turn against me!"

The old woman took a deep breath, her demonic aura intensified, and her clothes billowed.

Her abdominal cavity ruptured, and countless limbs extended out. Her body swelled up, becoming a strange creature more than three zhang tall, composed of countless spider-like legs.

However, her long legs were the color of flesh and blood, with human feet growing from the tips, as if they were pieced together.

Countless long legs swung in the air, rapidly swimming towards Chen Yao.

Chen Yao had never truly faced the demons of the Demonic Sect before, and seeing her imposing presence, he was genuinely intimidated.

From the old woman's words, he understood that Yun Li might have lost consciousness after just one glance from her.

Thinking of this, Chen Yao touched his brow, where a long, vertical red line had appeared.

The long-legged monster came crashing down, its gaping maw revealing a ferocious eye protruding from its tongue.

Her saliva was laced with a strong toxic odor and acidity.

Even the cloud scale armor on Chen Yao's body was corroded with large holes. He quickly dodged on his sword, made a hand seal again, and six silver lights struck down, revealing the silver-armored god.

The monsters were completely unafraid of the silver-armored gods. Their spider-like legs stretched and contracted, and their clawed feet pierced the gods' chests, shattering them.

The dragon's back, resembling the staggered shadows of mountains, swam across the pool, showing no intention of making a move, yet still blocking Chen Yao's path and maintaining its deterrent effect.

Chen Yao discovered that the demonic mark between his eyebrows was not as effective against this demon as he had imagined.

It seems her level of understanding is far higher than that of the contact person.

The space behind him surged, and a spray of blood spurted out. Chen Yao dodged quickly on his sword, but the cloud scale armor on his back was still cut open, and the scales fell off.

Fortunately, he had mastered body tempering and had iron armor for protection.

In the blink of an eye, the demon was already high above, its eyes rolling in its open, bloody mouth, seemingly making hand seals with its eyes instead of its hands.

Sure enough, a scarlet line appeared in the air in front of Chen Yao, rapidly expanding into a vortex.

The vortex had an unusual suction force and was filled with scorching, malevolent energy.

Once sucked in, even the Demon Seal might not be able to save you.

He understands.

There's nothing we can do!

Chen Yao placed two fingers on his brow and began chanting a spell softly.

"The True Lord of the Mysterious Vault Jade Demon Suppression!"

The scales on his body were pulled off by the suction force, and as he approached the vortex, they were contaminated and corroded.

Chen Yao gritted his teeth and read out those eight words.

The world fell silent.

The torrential rain has stopped.

The pupils in the demon's eyes, visible on the tip of its tongue, were clearly dilated.

The vortex reversed direction, increasing the suction force a hundredfold.

"Aww—"

The demon let out a terrible scream, and its long tongue was the first to enter the vortex and be torn to shreds.

Then came the mouth and body, as if they had entered a high-speed meat grinder, with meat paste and blood foam spraying out from the other side of the vortex.

Chen Yao quickly dodged on his sword, then looked at Yun Li, who was sleeping soundly with the outer robe he had draped over her, and felt relieved.

The vortex disappeared.

The overlapping "mountain shadows" on the pool rose up.

A thunderous voice boomed: "Little guy, have you forgotten about me?"

As darkness fell, the water rose high and then cascaded down.

Nine enormous, rotting dragon heads emerged, their dark blue eyes glaring angrily at the tiny Chen Yao.

Even the eyes on the dragon's spine emitted a ghostly blue light.

Near and far, high and low, it looks like a patch of blue sparks.

Below Chen Yao, the waves in the pool suddenly exploded, and a dragon arm emerged, whipping up an unparalleled gust of wind to grab at him.

Between the mountain-like giant claws, lightning flashed, and even from a distance, the static electricity made Chen Yao and Yun Li's hair stand on end.

Chen Yao is now out of options.

Having just established a foundation, how absurd is it to have to face these colossal forces of heaven and earth?

Desperate, he pressed two fingers to his forehead and began cursing.

The giant claws and the sky-covering dragon's snout attacked from both sides in the blink of an eye, and lightning flashed and tore through the sky amidst the rain of putrid dragon saliva.

Chen Yao's robes instantly caught fire, and his body went numb.

The vertical mark between his eyebrows reacted, forking and spreading into runes resembling antlers, glowing and causing intense pain.

Chen Yao roared, "If I die, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"I know, I know."

The woman in the red dress spoke languidly beside him.

Chen Yao was taken aback and turned his head to look. He saw a scarlet, long-draped, illusory figure standing side by side with him.

The woman in the red dress glared at him irritably: "I only have half an incense stick's time... to spit blood from my tongue."

?

Chen Yao didn't understand.

The woman in the red dress glared at him: "Bite your tongue and shoot it in my face."

Chen Yao gave her a strange look, "If you can talk, then say more..."

Thinking it over, he obediently did as instructed.

The woman in the red dress raised her head, closed her eyes, and said with a look of enjoyment, "It's been so many years since I've experienced the true yang blood."

The blood on the tip of her tongue is the blood of true yang, but she currently has no physical body, so she cannot use it, hence this sigh.

As she spoke, she opened her eyes, which were bloodshot.

"Azure Wave Dragon-Swallowing Sovereign, a mere wretched creature, dares to call himself a Sovereign?"

She opened her arms.

The entire Bibo Pool was pressed down by an invisible force, sinking hundreds of feet.
