Seventh-Tier Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon—It Was Actually Female?
"Yao Chen, how goes the gathering of ingredients for refining the Yin Yang Creation Pill?"
Early the next morning, Lu Chuan sought out Yao Chen to inquire about the Yin Yang Creation Pill.
"Master, most of the ingredients needed to refine the Yin Yang Creation Pill have now been gathered. Only three precious main ingredients are still missing!"
Yao Chen answered respectfully.
"Still three ingredients short?"
Hearing Yao Chen's report, Lu Chuan frowned slightly. During this time, he had swept through over a hundred mountain peaks and subdued a large number of powerful magical beasts. Yet even with the combined efforts of so many magical beasts, they had failed to gather all the ingredients for the Yin Yang Creation Pill.
"Which three ingredients are missing?" Lu Chuan asked.
Upon hearing Lu Chuan's question, Yao Chen swiftly replied, "The Extreme Cold Ice Flower, the Mysterious Mulberry Fruit, and the Blazing Sun Earth Liquid. Under normal circumstances, the Extreme Cold Ice Flower appears in places with frigid climates..."
Yao Chen stopped halfway through his sentence. Like Lu Chuan, he had sensed a fairly powerful aura rapidly approaching.
In the next moment, Lu Chuan's figure flashed, and he vanished from the spot.
In a mountain forest twenty li from Lu Chuan's Cave Mansion, two enormous creatures were swiftly slithering toward Lu Chuan's Cave Mansion.
One of them was a massive black snake. Many of the black scales on its body had fallen away, exposing ferocious, horrifying wounds. It appeared to be seriously injured and not yet recovered.
The other enormous creature also had the form of a snake, its body stretching a hundred meters long. Its slender form was covered in white, ice-crystal-like scales. However, a long horn resembling white jade protruded from its head, inscribed with mysterious patterns. Snakes did not possess such features. Clearly, this was a flood dragon.
As they rapidly slithered forward, the two enormous creatures abruptly came to a halt. They raised their massive heads in unison and looked toward the sky, where a human man had appeared.
Seeing the figure in the sky, hatred filled the black snake's enormous pupils. It spoke in human words, "Lord Cold Flood Dragon, he is the Lion King! A few days ago, he barged into my territory for no reason, severely wounded me, and demanded that I submit to him!"
"If I hadn't pretended to submit to him, I would already have been killed by him!"
"You must uphold justice for this subordinate!"
The white flood-dragon-shaped creature did not immediately reply. Its enormous pupils remained fixed on Lu Chuan, icy blue light flickering within them from time to time, as though it were pondering something.
In the distance, the Golden Feathered Eagle and Yao Chen's Soul Body rushed over and halted beside Lu Chuan.
"You black-spotted mangy snake, Master spared your miserable life last time, yet you didn't know how to cherish it! Now you've even brought help to die with you!"
The moment the Golden Feathered Eagle appeared, it recognized the black snake. It immediately roared at it below, "Today, I'll definitely eat you!"
"Golden Feathered Eagle, don't get cocky! Lord Cold Flood Dragon is a distant relative of mine, and her strength has reached the Seventh Tier. It's still uncertain who will eat whom today!"
Hearing the Golden Feathered Eagle's words, the black snake furiously hissed back, its eyes filled with hatred.
"This is an Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon. How could such a magical beast appear in the Monster Beast Mountain Range? ...Perhaps the place where this Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon lives contains an Extreme Cold Ice Flower!"
Having recognized the species of the white flood dragon below, Yao Chen rapidly pondered the matter. He then quickly transmitted his speculation to Lu Chuan.
"Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon, from the sound of it, you've come to seek revenge on This King for that black snake?"
After hearing Yao Chen's voice transmission, Lu Chuan's heart stirred.
He paid no attention to the black snake, which possessed only late Sixth-Tier strength. Instead, he looked directly at the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon below and asked from on high.
During this period, he had subdued more than a hundred mountain peaks in the eastern region of the Monster Beast Mountain Range and taken in a great number of Magical Beast Kings.
Yet he had never encountered a Seventh-Tier magical beast.
This Seventh-Tier Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon was clearly one of the beings that lived in the deepest parts of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Facing the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon, Lu Chuan's expression did not change in the slightest, nor did he show any hint of fear.
He had already sensed that this Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon was only at the initial stage of the Seventh Tier. She was no match for him at all.
Upon hearing Lu Chuan's words, a trace of hesitation appeared in the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon's pupils.
Clearly, after meeting him, the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon had already sensed Lu Chuan's true strength. She herself was only at the initial stage of the Seventh Tier, and there was a gap between their cultivation levels. If they fought, she had little chance of winning.
She somewhat regretted it. After learning of Lu Chuan's deeds from the black snake, she had assumed that he, like herself, was only at the initial stage of the Seventh Tier.
She had never expected the Lion King's strength to be far above her own.
Had she known this earlier, she would never have come out to avenge the black snake.
Seeing the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon hesitate over whether to act, the black snake immediately grew anxious and hurriedly said, "Lord Cold Flood Dragon, for the sake of our distant kinship, you must avenge me this time and kill the Lion King!"
"You're courting death!"
Seeing the black snake still making a fuss, killing intent flashed through Lu Chuan's eyes. The next moment, two purple beams abruptly shot from his eyes and blasted toward the black snake's head.
In that instant, the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon had no time to stop him. The energy beams unleashed by Lu Chuan's Purple Light Demonic Eyes were simply too fast and too sudden, with virtually no warning at all.
Boom!
The two purple beams struck the black snake's head with a thunderous explosion. Two bloody holes burst open directly in its skull. With just one strike, the black snake's enormous body went limp, and its raised head crashed heavily onto the ground, leaving it barely alive.
"You've gone too far!"
Seeing the black snake suffer such severe injuries, a change finally appeared in the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon's enormous pupils. She glared furiously at Lu Chuan, her voice cool and distinctly feminine. At the same time, the overwhelming pressure of her Seventh-Tier magical beast aura was fully released.
Hearing this, a strange look flashed through Lu Chuan's eyes. This Cold Flood Dragon was actually female?
Interesting!
Seventh Tier magical beasts could already assume human form. He wondered what this cold flood dragon would look like after taking human form.
For some reason, Lu Chuan actually felt a little anticipation in his heart.
"Heh heh!"
Sensing the aura emanating from the Little Female Flood Dragon, Lu Chuan's expression remained unchanged. He sneered and spoke domineeringly, "Those who submit to me shall prosper; those who defy me shall perish. Since you came here today, submit to This King as well!"
"Make me submit? Dream on!"
Hearing Lu Chuan demand her submission, the fury in the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon's eyes intensified. The next moment, she suddenly opened her enormous jaws and blasted a massive stream of icy breath at Lu Chuan.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Watching the thick icy breath shoot toward him, contempt flashed through Lu Chuan's eyes. With a thought, he sent an even thicker Purple Light Pillar shooting from his hand.
Boom!
The Purple Light Pillar collided with the icy breath, violently shaking the surrounding space. The immense energy ripples destroyed every tree in the nearby mountain forest, making the mountains tremble as though a terrifying earthquake had struck.
Even the residual force unleashed by a battle between two Seventh Tier experts was not something other magical beasts could withstand.
Feeling this aura, the magical beasts within dozens of miles could not help but tremble, their hearts filled with fear and their eyes revealing terror.
In the void, the battle between Lu Chuan and the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon was on the verge of erupting.
Dozens of huge spiral ice spikes rapidly formed before the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon, then howled through the air as they rained down upon Lu Chuan.
Facing the mass of ice spikes carrying a freezing aura, Lu Chuan smiled faintly. He then fired a Purple Light Pillar, shattering every one of them!
Seeing this, a hint of wariness flashed through the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon's eyes.
The next moment, an utterly frigid aura erupted from within her body, actually condensing into a thick layer of ice throughout the surrounding void.
Mystic Ice Storm!
Covered in crystalline icy scales, the cold flood dragon suddenly let out a low roar from her throat.
At once, crescent-shaped ice blades spun into existence around her. More and more ice blades appeared, until in the end, they faintly obscured her entire body.
The ice blades linked together, forming a small spiraling storm made entirely of ice blades.
"Go!"
A low shout emerged from within the storm, and the ice-blade tempest violently swept toward Lu Chuan. Along its path, the vast mountain forest was torn apart into crisscrossing ravines.
Some low-tier magical beasts were sliced apart by the ice blades, exploding with a bang. Yet the ruptured surfaces were as smooth as mirrors.
Watching the ice-blade storm sweep toward him, Lu Chuan's gaze narrowed.
He quickly formed hand seals with both hands, then opened his mouth. A lion's roar like a thunderclap erupted from his mouth.
The instant the invisible soundwave left his mouth, the space before Lu Chuan rippled violently, as though space itself were about to shatter.
Immediately afterward, the deafening roar expanded like lightning. Amid a rumbling boom, an entire massive mountain peak opposite him collapsed into fragments.
Explosions continuously rang out from the mountain forest below. Vast stretches of trees snapped in unison, countless rocks shattered, and even the mountain peak beneath Lu Chuan's feet could not withstand such immense power, crumbling apart.
Wherever the soundwave passed, the icy storm condensed by the cold flood dragon instantly collapsed. A terrifying force directly destroyed the dense mass of ice blades, turning them into countless shards that fell from the void!
"Roar!"
The Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon let out a miserable cry. Swept by the soundwave, she instantly felt as though her soul were about to shatter. Her enormous body swayed in midair, nearly unable to hold herself aloft as she plummeted downward.
The Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon's true strength was only comparable to that of a human Two-star Dou Zong, while Lu Chuan's cultivation had already reached the Peak Five-star Dou Zong. Combined with his other trump cards, he was capable of contending with a Nine-star Dou Zong.
With such a vast disparity in strength, the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon had displayed obvious signs of defeat after only a few exchanges with Lu Chuan.
In fact, if Lu Chuan had not wanted to spare her life, she would likely have already been slain by him.
The Lion King is far too strong, and he has two helpers by his side. If I keep fighting, I'm afraid I'll die here today!
Lu Chuan's Purple Lion Roar had severely wounded the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon, leaving her without the slightest will to fight.
Seizing an opportunity after borrowing the force from another clash with Lu Chuan, the cold flood dragon twisted her enormous body and swiftly fled into the distance.
"You came to This King's territory. Do you think you can still escape?"
Seeing the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon flee with her injuries, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Lu Chuan's lips.
He did not pursue her. Instead, the brilliant purple radiance around his body grew increasingly intense, as though a purple sun had descended into the world.
Purple light enveloped heaven and earth. After gathering power for a moment, the radiance abruptly contracted. In the blink of an eye, the purple glow filling the sky compressed into a dark-purple light pillar only about a foot wide.
At that moment, the dark-purple light pillar shot out like lightning. Its speed was terrifying, almost as if it were teleporting. With only two flickers, it caught up to the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon.
Amethyst Seal!
As the purple light flashed, Lu Chuan's low shout echoed continuously through the mountain range.
"Roar!"
As the Purple Light Pillar landed on the Ice Crystal Cold Flood Dragon, she could not help but let out a shrill scream. Her enormous body then abruptly fell from the sky, as though all strength had instantly left it.
"Let's see where you can run now!"
Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Lu Chuan's lips.
PS: Taking in a female flood dragon—this shouldn't count as a toxic plot point, right?
