Elden Gulong in American comics

Will the air also break? This question sounds like the ravings of a crazy person.

But in this dream world, the air did shatter, and cracks appeared on the splitting sword wind, making a crisp sound like glass, and then exploded.

Seeing that the attack missed, Sakuraryu launched another sweep, but this time, the ancient dragon no longer fought in human form, but returned to the form of a giant dragon.

With the defensive power of the dragon form, the sword wind from this horizontal slash only collided slightly before being eliminated by the scales of the ancient dragon.

At this moment, the ancient dragon was already close to the Sakura dragon in front of him, and the strange Sakura dragon did not stop. He roared to the sky. In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and golden thunder struck down from the sky, flying towards the ancient dragon with open teeth and claws. .

But this kind of trick is just a trick in front of Gu Long, who is accompanied by Storm Thunder. These thunderbolts seem to be powerful, but in fact they are loose and weak. I am afraid that even an ordinary person cannot be killed.

"Speaking of which, thanks to the warriors who guarded you, I learned a trick."

The ancient dragon flew up, rolled up the spear in his hand, and rolled up the thunderbolts in one place, and then struck at Yinglong.

"Lei Hui, give it back to you!"

The thunderbolts were gathered together by the ancient dragon and hit Yinglong. The other party let out a wail, and finally the slender body staggered and finally fell to the ground.

"A less difficult battle."

The ancient dragon fell to the ground, and he commented unreasonably on Sakura Dragon's power: "Now I doubt whether he is a real dragon. Those young dragons are not that weak."

"This state reminds me of a kind of creature, the spirit of the golden tree."

Michaela looked at the Sakura Dragon that was connected to the cherry tree, thought for a while and said: "Snake-like tree spirits are occasionally born around the golden tree. It is said that they are the reverberation of the souls of those who return to the tree."

"The tree spirit will guard the golden tree and attack the enemies who come."

Gu Long grinned. He had seen creatures like tree spirits before, but they were just a combination of tree roots and corpses. They looked like a combination of snakes and lizards, bloated and ugly.

But the Sakura Dragon in front of him was more slender, his face was clearer, and he looked a bit more human-like.

"So is this thing the tree spirit of this cherry blossom tree..."

Gu Long stepped forward and shook Yinglong's head. The other person's black jade-like eyes stared at Gu Long, as if he was a little aggrieved and about to burst into tears.

But Gu Long didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his claws and tore Sakura Dragon's head apart, groping continuously in the opponent's wooden body.

"It's not here. The dragon-form part doesn't seem to be the core."

The ancient dragon smacked his lips and looked at the sawdust under him. This dragon felt more like the branches of some kind of tree to him. The core of controlling the Sakura dragon was obviously not here.

"Maybe in the center of the trunk, that's the safest place."

Michaela has a lot of experience in making trees, so she explained the key in one sentence.

For many trees, the bark part is the structure for nutrient transmission, and there is no important structure in the center of the trunk, so the center of a large enough tree is often hollow.

Therefore, for sacred trees such as golden trees and sacred trees, the center part of the trunk is usually used as an important space to store the core of the tree.

After hearing this, Gu Long walked gracefully to the cherry blossom tree and knocked on the trunk. Sure enough, the tree seemed to be hollow.

"I'm really reluctant to do this."

Looking at the lush cherry blossoms above his head, Gu Long smacked his lips, and then inserted his claws into the trunk of the tree mercilessly.

In the sway of the creaking cherry blossom tree, Gu Long felt as if he had grasped something sharp. That touch made Gu Long feel that he had found the right one.

The next moment, the cherry tree broke apart. Gu Long took his hand out of the trunk and finally saw clearly the treasure that existed in the trunk.

It was a dry arm. The arm was very long, about the same height as a normal human being. It was covered with scales and looked a bit ferocious.

This arm has also become lignified and feels as rough and dry as a tree trunk. Gu Long stretched out his arm to compare with it.

"It's almost the same, just smaller."

"This is Gu Long's broken arm."

Locke hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his guess: "Such power is related to immortality. Could this be the remains of the former Dragon God?"

Once upon a time, the ancient dragons also had their own gods, and they worshiped the sun. However, inspired by the memory of Gulan Sanks, Locke already knew that the so-called sun actually refers to the golden tree in ancient times.

In the past, Gu Long was also a believer in the Supreme Will, until the Supreme Will gave up on them, and Gu Long's Dragon God disappeared.

But Locke didn't expect that he would see the power of the Dragon God in the distant Ashina.

"I'm afraid so. The strength in this arm feels very similar to my mother's."

"It seems that the ancient dragon god may have already encountered an accident."

Chapter 3: The End of Ashina

Gu Long clenched the severed arm in his hand, but what he was thinking about was the memory that Gu Lan Sanks had passed down to him.

The Dragon God, who was so glorious in his memory, now only had a stump of his limb left in Locke's hand. It was really ironic.

"Don't worry, maybe we can find something from this limb."

Michaela comforted, and then put her hand on the broken arm: "Even if it is dead, there will always be the remnants of the past."

As if echoing Michaela's words, some pink light seeped out from it, floated up, and turned into a hazy smoke.

From the smoke, images began to appear.

That seems to be extremely ancient, before Ashina was established.

At that time, there lived a group of primitive people who practiced slash-and-burn farming on this land. They had not noticed the changes in the world until one day.

Golden meteors descended from the west and struck a high mountain. The earth shook and the sky glowed with red gold.

From that day on, the people who witnessed this miracle were in awe of the presence that descended. They climbed up the mountain with their precious food and found a rugged rock at the place where it descended.

That was the broken limb of the Dragon God that descended on Ashina from the far west. It was covered with dust and gravel and looked like a strange rock.

They enshrined the grain under the rock, and over time, it became a shrine, with a priest responsible for the worship.

The grains and seeds sprouted under the rocks, and a cherry tree stood out among the plants, perhaps because its roots were deep enough and it made contact with the remaining limbs of the Dragon God.

Overnight, the cherry trees grew from young to thick, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the canopy covered the entire sky like a canopy.

The wildly growing cherry tree attracted the attention of the priests, and they quickly changed the object of worship to the vigorously growing cherry tree.

Dragon's blood will corrode any creature it comes into contact with, even a plant, not to mention that the Dragon God once had an extremely deep connection with the Golden Tree.

Because of this, a mutilated dragon grew out of the cherry tree. At the moment when the dragon was born, water gushes out from under the cherry tree and turns into a sweet spring flowing to the earth at the foot of the mountain.

That was the origin of the power of immortality. The power of the Dragon God spread through the water to the earth below. Those who drank it were infected by the power and turned into immortal monsters.

The power from the Dragon God has multiple properties. Part of it comes from the immortal power of the golden tree, which enables people who have gained the power to be resurrected. The other part comes from the power of the life furnace that combines people's bodies with the bodies of water creatures, transforming them into... Made some kind of monster.

Even the bugs in the water have gained the power of immortality, maintaining their original living conditions and parasitizing the bodies of organisms that come to drink water, turning them into immortal parasites.

Thus, Sakuraryu, who had been entangled with Ashina for countless years, was born. The tree spirit born in the cherry tree gained consciousness through human sacrifice and truly became a god.

His power allowed the Palace of Origin to ascend to the spiritual world and become a capital city existing in the sky. It also became the source of Wei Renren's immortal curse.

The playback of the mist was coming to an end. Gu Long frowned, but saw a wave of mist, and all the images were moving backwards quickly.

Until the beginning of all that, Gu Long saw a ball of light.

Dragon God's body seemed to be submerged in that ball of light. She was fighting something, but in the end she was defeated. She was shattered under the enemy's attack and exploded into several pieces.

The remaining image finally couldn't hold on any longer and quickly dissipated. Michaela withdrew her hand, her expression a bit ugly:

"In the end that is...the power of the Supreme Will."

"I saw it, it seemed like a golden meteor." Gu Long smacked his lips and looked at the severed arm in his hand: "Do you want to take this thing back?"

"It's too conspicuous, it will be troublesome." Michaela frowned, then relaxed: "If you insist on it, I can put a seal on this section of the body."

"Then do this. This thing has caused enough trouble. I don't want it to stay in this world."

Gu Long shook the severed arm in his hand, Michaela nodded, and then stretched out his hand to draw a few strokes on the severed arm. A golden holy tree mark was attached to the severed arm, covering up all the aura of the severed arm.

After all this ended, the huge cherry blossom tree gradually withered, and Gu Long's body became thinner.

The next moment, Gu Long woke up from his dream. He looked around. The stone next to him cracked, revealing a broken arm, while the cherry blossom tree above gradually withered and turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.

Gu Long picked up the severed arm of the Dragon God in reality. This arm looked more primitive in reality. The stones wrapped in the outside world had become extremely smooth over the years.

The roots of some trees were wrapped around the broken arm, constantly exuding some viscous liquid.

As Gu Long took off the severed arm, the cherry blossom trees in the Palace of Origin withered in an instant, and the earth shook again. The gorgeous and majestic palace collapsed in the shaking, burying countless years of filth.

Amidst the deafening roar that changed the world, a four-winged dragon rose into the sky in the smoke and flew down the mountain.

The continuously flowing water veins completely dried up the moment Gu Long took out the severed arm, and the capital water that could turn people into monsters no longer existed.

Gu Long took one last look at the collapsed Palace of Origin behind him and murmured to himself: "Everything is over. From now on, people in this world can no longer have the power of immortality."

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing. The normal cycle of birth, aging, illness and death is the healthy state of the world." Michaela lay on the back of the ancient dragon and said seriously: "Besides, can immortality that turns into a monster still be called a blessing?"

"That's true. Those people don't have enough to eat, so they don't care whether they die or not." Gu Long thought about the skinny ordinary people in Weiming City and sighed. For them, living in this kind of life is just a matter of life. It's just torture.

Just like what Gu Long said, there is no one in Ashina City at this moment. Sakura Dragon has changed, and a battle is starting outside Ashina City.

The shogunate's troops were dressed in red armor and spread like flames on the battlefield, defeating the militiamen of Ashina Castle.

Based on the number of troops alone, the weak Ashina Castle could not compete with the shogunate.

There may simply be some supernatural power in this city. Humans who took the water turned into tall, ghost-like monsters, charging and killing among the troops.

But such a surprise attack was just a drop in the bucket, and soon these monsters were drowned in the sound of the shogunate's iron cannons.

Everything will be irreversible.

Chapter 321: The power to turn things around

On Ashina's land, wars are raging and smoke is filling the air.

The army of the shogunate and the samurai of Ashina Castle were fighting outside the city. Even though they had various monsters created by Bianruishui and skilled samurai, they could not organize the red front to get closer and closer to Ashina Castle.

In the position in front of the city gate, a tall veteran was holding a spear and riding a tall horse. He looked at the incoming shogunate troops with a serious face, and then let out a deafening roar:

"I am Xiaoya from the Ghost Court's Punishment Department, that's right!"

"With my Xingbu at the main entrance, don't even think about passing through!"
