Chapter 461
'Erosion is terrible.'
Yes, Guizhong he was such an honest dragon, but if you asked him to eat those animal tooth ornaments sold on the street... he really would have swallowed them.
"Pfft! Don't make me laugh at a time like this! What if I burst out laughing?!"
Anqi forced the corners of her mouth down again, and said in the same indifferent tone as the Primal Anqi of the Honkai World:
"I am not the Morax you are talking about."
"Morax, a thousand-year-old grudge, it's time for reckoning!"
"Your obsession with Morax is truly profound. I don't like to force things, so how about we make a deal? Give me your body and power, and I will sever your sanity for you, allowing you to live a second life."
Anqi extended her hand in a gesture of friendship.
"Morax! Roar!!!"
The roaring hurricane blew the canopy off Anqi's little parasol, leaving only a bare shaft in Anqi hand.
'I'm fucking...'
The Descendant Anqi's lips curled down a few degrees, she nodded, dropped the stick in her hand, and pointed it into a sword.
"Sword God".
Since reasoning with them is useless, we have no choice but to take action.
A massive, crimson sword aura descended from the sky, its power overwhelming and its majesty immense. Azhdaha's colossal, mountain-like body trembled instinctively under the Sky Sword's might—this tremor, based on his strength and size, stirred the Ley Line structure of Liyue, causing Liyue earthquake that affected most of the surrounding area.
In the world of Teyvat, dragons are not a race, but a term for the pinnacle of elemental creatures; therefore, dragons are undoubtedly the most powerful and unique beings.
Their powers are interesting. But even more interesting is the characteristic that a new dragon will inevitably be born from a dead body.
[The world allows consciousness to fit into new containers, but it doesn't allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness—this is Otto's conclusion. He still held this view just before reaching the Imaginary Tree, so it can be considered a definite rule within the Tree Sea system. The dragon's reincarnation should not violate this rule.]
Even so, it can still be considered a form of immortality. You must understand that ordinary Herrscher, once dead, are simply dead; they don't possess this characteristic of regeneration.
[Immortality is certainly worthy of study, but you must be careful. All indications suggest that dragons are highly sensitive to the Seven Archons and the Heavenly Principles. Even as the one who descends, possessing the strongest deterrent power, you cannot be certain that the Heavenly Principles will not be unable to resist revealing itself.]
Anqi, the Descendant, nodded, and with a sweeping motion of her sword, unleashed a divine sword technique that transcended the world of Teyvat.
"Who are you? How do you possess such power?"
As the divine sword fell, perhaps driven by the instinct for survival, Azhdaha, who had been lost for thousands of years, suddenly regained his senses and paced restlessly within the seal, trying to break free.
The immense power of the Azhdaha once again shook the Ley Line, sending tremors across most of Liyue.
However, it was to no avail.
Even if he were still sealed away, making movement difficult, this Great Void Sword God would be an inescapable and unavoidable attack, even for the free- Azhdaha King. Even the Herrscher of the Void at her peak couldn't dodge it, let alone the people of Teyvat.
"Morax!!!"
Under the pressure of the sword energy, Azhdaha's limbs bent over. In his final moments, knowing that he could not escape his fate, he roared to the sky.
But this cry was no longer filled with madness and hatred, but with intense worry. It was as if, in the last moments of life, someone was desperately trying to deliver information about the enemy to a close friend.
"Boom!!!"
The Sword God did not stop because of the Dragon King Azhdaha's indomitable will.
This sword pierced through the Dragon King's body, and also penetrated his soul and will.
At the same time, the aftershocks of the sword energy shattered the seals, making the entire Outer Realm Abode World teeter on the brink of collapse.
"Bang!!!"
The Dragon King's eyes lost their luster and light, and his lifeless body crashed to the ground like a desolate mountain.
Anqi opened her palms towards the enormous, boundless mountain.
"Receive!"
Space distorted, and the enormous dragon corpse vanished without a trace.
Anqi's gaze, however, was fixed on the tip of her raised index finger.
A wisp of light swirled and danced on her slender, fair fingertips.
"Hmm~~"
Anqi shook her index finger, which also stirred a wisp of Azhdaha's consciousness. Her gaze caught a round pebble at her feet, and then her eyes lit up.
"Ah, I've got it!"
Anqi gently blew a breath onto her fingertip, and the wisp of light flew into the round stone, which was less than the size of a palm.
Then Anqi opened a new small parasol and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhongli hurriedly crossed Tianqiu Valley and rushed to the Hulao Mountain.
There, the True Lords of Xueyue Zhuyang and Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun, who lived nearby, had already arrived.
A bird and a deer circled around a large hollow, seemingly searching for clues.
"Your Majesty!" ×2
Upon seeing the arrival of the master of the house, the two immortals descended together and bowed their heads to Zhongli.
Zhongli waved his hand to stop the formality.
"What's the situation? The tail of the Fulong Tree, Azhdaha, has disappeared. Did he break the seal and escape?"
Zhongli's face remained calm, but his heart sank.
If Azhdaha has broken the seal and emerged from that outer Abode, then he should now be active underground in Liyue. If so, then when Azhdaha breaks through the ground, the terrain of Liyue will undergo uncontrollable changes.
"Your Majesty, we initially thought so too, but after careful observation, we found that the situation is not as bad as it seems. In conclusion, Azhdaha has probably broken through the seal, but we don't know why he hasn't broken out of the Outer Abode."
"We speculate that he might be exhausted after breaking the seal and is therefore conserving his energy. But it's also possible that he regained his senses after the seal shattered and is now restraining himself. However, the outer Abode of Azhdaha's seal has suffered a huge impact, and the magic at the entrance is now unrecognizable. We can't enter for a while and won't be able to find out what's going on."
