Yin Xiu's History of Conquest, Two Rare Treasures, the Might of the Moyun Vine!
The Guting Kingdom, the detached palace.
Li Palace is Yin Li's royal palace, nestled atop the mist-shrouded Fangzhang Mountain. The majestic Li Palace stands tall, resembling a giant in a fairyland.
The beast exudes majesty.
Built against the mountain, the mountain seems to form its imposing base, yet also appears to be integrated with the palace. The palace's mountain peak is like a...
A long spear pierces through the pass, its tip bearing the skull of a dragon.
There are many such peaks, and the dragon skulls on them are all testaments to the battles of Yin Li and Yin Xiu.
Each dragon bone is of King Grade! They are all different colors, matching the colors of the Five Elements Wind-Thunder! The number of dragon crystal towers around the palace has also increased compared to before.
It is the energy foundation of the teleportation array, which leads to the Central Dragon Court. Originally, there was only one central teleportation array here, but now there are dozens.
In the central factory square at the departure point, there stands a lifelike dragon crystal statue, its fury yet serene, its Dragon Whisker swaying in the wind, resembling...
The Buddha will come to life and soar into the sky in the next moment.
Compared to other Great Dragon King, it was quite small, yet it possessed a divine charm, seemingly bearing a resemblance to the Progenitor Dragon.
It is similar in appearance, but not the Progenitor Dragon.
This is what Zhao Xing looked like Ancestral Dragon Transformation. The two brothers, Yin Li and Yin Xiu, used this as the model to create statues of deities.
Upon descending upon the Dragon Court once more, Zhao Xing remarked with some emotion. "The first time I entered the Dragon Court, I was only in my forties, but the fourth time I've come, I'm already over three hundred years old."
"The Dragon Court Ancient Land is finally coming to an end." After entering the Li Palace area, Zhao Xing immediately activated the Ancestral Dragon Transformation.
"!"
A Dragon's Cry's roar echoed into the palace.
Hogg, who was resting in the main palace, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement. "It's the Dragon Emperor! The Dragon Emperor has returned!"
A phantom image immediately emerged from Hogg's dragon head—his dragon spirit. "Hogg, Dragon King of the Guting Kingdom, pays respects to Your Majesty." Hogg prostrated himself on the ground.
"Hogg, why are you the only one in the palace?" Zhao Xing asked, activating the Eastern Emperor Golden Script.
Hogg appeared during his second visit to the Dragon Court. He voluntarily awakened, for two reasons: first, the appearance of Zhao Xing, and second, the outbreak of war in the Guting Kingdom, which resulted in the seizure of two territories.
Hogg's power was still above Yin Li's, but weaker than Yin Xiu, the inheritor of the Eastern Emperor Golden Script. From then on, the Guting Kingdom entered an era of three kings ruling.
"Dragon Emperor, Yin Xiu and Yin Li are both fighting in the Dragon Abyss Kingdom. One is in Thunder Cloud Territory and the other is in the Sea Territory."
"I was slightly injured in battle, and my physical body is recovering in the spirit pool in the palace. Only my dragon spirit can come to pay homage. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Xing shrunk his size and entered the detached palace.
The palace blends seamlessly with the mountain, within which lies a massive Fire Spirit pool, in which a colossal dragon is soaking—it is none other than Hogg's body.
Hogg's scales were originally black, but now they were bathed in flames and turned bright red, making him look like a fire dragon.
Hogg possesses immense physical strength and is renowned for its physique. Even though Yin Xiu and Yin Li are skilled in magic, Hogger was injured. It seems that the battles of recent years have taken their toll.
"The situation is very intense," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He began to look through the battle records of the Guting Royal City over the past century.
(In the first year of the Dragon Emperor Era, the Dragon Emperor Zhao was born, Yin Xiu, the Guting Kingdom, was appointed as the First General by the Dragon Emperor Zhao.) The chronicle of the Guting Kingdom begins with a separate volume from the one written by Zhao Xing, which dates back to when he first entered the kingdom three hundred years ago.
In the 52nd year of the Dragon Emperor Era, the Auspicious Marsh Kingdom provoked the Blazing Fire Territory. The Dragon King "Xiu" led his troops to counterattack and occupied the Auspicious Marsh Kingdom's Hundred Mountains Territory.
(In the 55th year of the Dragon Emperor Era, the Frostglory Main Kingdom attacked the eastern part of the main kingdom. Dragon Lord Xiu led his troops to counterattack and occupied the Seven-Colored Sea of the Frostflower Kingdom.)
Zhao Xing nodded. These two territories were the reason why he questioned Yin Xiu about why he had promoted the war without permission when he entered the Dragon Court for the second time.
He only instructed Yin Xiu to prepare for battle, not to attack at that time. They had to wait for the right opportunity.
When? Zhao Xing left a sentence for Yin Xiu to judge. "The hurricane appeared from Guanyuan, and the vital energy surged from the Grass Sea. This is a sign of the Vitality Tide."
Therefore, when the outside world was in the early stages of the Yuan Hunting Era, Yin Xiu's military campaigns became more frequent.
[In the 158th year of the Dragon Emperor Era, Dragon King 'Li' led 15,000 lords to conquer the Northern Spirit Sea Kingdom.] [In the 159th year of the Dragon Emperor Era, Dragon King 'Li' killed Dragon King 'Xin'.]
[In the 162nd year of the Dragon Emperor Era, Dragon King 'Li' conquered the Northern Spirit Sea Kingdom and renamed it the Northern Spirit Sea Kingdom Northern Spirit Territory.] [In the 170th year of the Dragon Emperor Era, Dragon King 'Xiu' led 30,000 lords to conquer the Ancient Sky Dragon Kingdom.]
The Dragon King "Quan" awakens and summons all the lords of the nation to resist. The Dragon King "Xiu" commands the dragons with the Dragon Emperor Golden Script, and half of the lords surrender without a fight.
In the 173rd year of the Dragon Emperor Era, "refusing to submit to the Dragon Emperor's will, the Dragon King Xiu the Dragon Battle Xuanhuang Grand Formation," in the "Four
Ye Ling slays the Dragon King. The ancient kingdom of Guanlong is destroyed.
In the 183rd year of the Dragon Emperor Era, the Dragon King "ceased his campaigns against the Dragon Wood Kingdom" and went alone to the Sky Wood River, where he fought three opponents single-handedly.
The Daolong Dragon Race used a secret technique to subdue the Green Leaf Dragon King "Hong" at Guanmu River. The Hua Dragon King was killed, and the whereabouts of the other Dragon Kings are unknown.
[In the 203rd year of the Dragon Emperor Era, the Dragon King Xiu...] Zhao Xing looked at the record and couldn't help but nod secretly.
The conquests of the Guting Kingdom were primarily led by Yin Xiu.
Compared to Yin Li's brute force, Yin Xiu's campaigns were more rhythmic and strategic, rather than simply resorting to killing.
Therefore, Yin Li fought one major battle and then retreated to the second line, with Yin Xiu taking full control of the war. The two dragons, Hogg and Yin Xiu, were stationed in the Guting Kingdom to guard the area and take charge of logistics.
The records of the Dragon Race are illustrated, and Zhao Xing was able to see some of the contributions of the two dragons, Hogg and Yin Xiu, from this stone slab.
For example, the scene where two dragons breathe fire and forge warships, Divine Soldier, and Magic Array artifacts in the Fu Ming Divine Hall.
On one occasion, the two dragons even joined forces to lift up a secret weapon called "Dragon God Toe" and went to the battlefield to deploy it.
Dragon God Toe, a very simple name for a divine artifact. Legend has it that it is a claw shed by the Dragon God, which Fu Ming forged into a large-scale weapon with the power to sever the bloodline of the Dragon Race.
Later, the Dragon God Toe became a treasured artifact passed down by Fu Ming Dragon Craftsman. The original version disappeared, but the method of making the Dragon God Toe was passed down, and the body of the Dragon King or the Great Dragon King could be used as the material.
"Even without the Dragon Emperor Codex, Yin Xiu is still a dominant Dragon King capable of ruling the ancient lands." "Indeed, Yin Xiu is very strong, which is why he is worthy of the Dragon Emperor Codex."
This Dragon Emperor Annals is ostensibly about his own name, but in reality it is all about Yin Xiu's glorious deeds. " In the Yuan Hunting Year Sixty-Two, large-scale tides also began to appear in the Dragon Court Ancient Land."
"That was the third time the Dragon Court opened, but I didn't enter. Dragon King Yin Xiu wasn't in a hurry and continued the pace of conquest."
"Now, exactly three hundred years have passed, and he has conquered the other seven kingdoms besides the Dragon Abyss Kingdom and the Sky Sea Kingdom!"
Zhao Xing obtained the latest map of the Dragon Court. He marked the Guting Kingdom in red and the remaining unconquered areas in gray. Special regions were marked in black, the Central Dragon Court area in gold, and the sea in blue.
As you can see, the red land area already occupies eight-tenths of the land, and in the middle of the Dragon Court, there are many places where flags made in their own image have been planted.
"Of the ten Dragon Kingdoms, only the Dragon Abyss Kingdom and the Sky Sea Kingdom have not been destroyed." "In the special regions of Heaven Abyss and Sin Sea, Yin Xiu has heeded my advice and has not made a move."
"These two regions are adjacent to the Sky Sea Kingdom and the Dragon Abyss Kingdom. It seems that Yin Xiu did listen to what I said."
Zhao Xing was very happy that Yin Xiu hadn't messed around, which saved him a lot of time.
"Now that Yin Xiu has become a hegemon-level Great Dragon King, he has many dragon kings under his command. He can still endure not touching Heaven Abyss and Sin Sea, and go to retrieve the remaining two parts of the Dragon Emperor Codex. His fate is different from his previous life," Zhao Xing thought.
In his previous life, Dragon King Yin Xiu had made a mistake in the order of conquering the nine kingdoms and retrieving the Dragon Emperor Codex, and the timing was also too early, which led to his failure.
Now things are different. With his own guidance, Yin Xiu has avoided many disasters.
"Let's contact Yin Xiu first." Zhao Xing arrived at the back of the palace, where there was a Star Conch that looked like a mountain. The Star Conch was used for communication. This Star Conch was made from a Star Conch from the deep sea that was equivalent to the Fate Palace Realm, and it could achieve long-distance communication.
"City God~"
The sound of Dragon's Cry echoed within the enormous nut.
The deep inner walls of the snail shell glowed with layers of light, and soon another Dragon's Cry echoed from within. "Great Dragon Emperor, is that you?"
"It's me, Yin Xiu, I'm back."
"That's wonderful!" Yin Xiu's voice was tinged with excitement. "I'll come back to see you right away."
Why was Yin Xiu so excited? Because many of the things he encountered during his conquest of the nine kingdoms were exactly as the Dragon Emperor had described!
This includes when and where to consume certain treasures to purify one's bloodline and gain access to more powerful cultivation techniques.
The Dragon Emperor accurately predicted the treasures and secret techniques possessed by each sleeping dragon lord!
In other words, the war is developing according to the Dragon Emperor's blind will. If his brother Yin Li were to fight it, the effect would be the same, only it might take a little longer.
Although Dragon Lord Yin Xiu is now the Great Dragon Lord, he still holds Zhao Xing in high esteem.
In Zhao Xing's view, he hadn't shown his face for a long time, but in Yin Xiu's view, a mere one or two hundred years was not a long time at all. Therefore, Yin Xiu felt that the Dragon Emperor had never left and had been guiding him all along.
"No need, Yin Xiu. You continue with your plans." Zhao Xing refused Yin Xiu's request. "I will summon you when the time is right."
Also, be careful of a guy who calls himself the Purple Dragon God; his bloodline power is very high and he might pose a threat to you.
"Threatening: Your Dragon Lord Reverse Scale Sword must not leave your side; bestow it upon another Dragon Lord."
"Yes, I understand. I will strictly follow your orders!" After saying a few simple words, Zhao Xing walked out of the Star Conch.
Yin Xiu is a hegemon-level Great Dragon King, stronger than many humans at the Rule Realm, but not quite at the Establish Dao Realm.
"Yes, I understand. I will strictly follow your orders!" After saying a few simple words, Zhao Xing walked out of the Star Conch.
"Yin Xiu is a hegemon-level Great Dragon King, which is stronger than many humans at the Rule Realm, but not quite at the Establish Dao Realm." "My little brother is already at the Rule Realm, so I need to improve my combat power before I go to see Yin Xiu."
The Great Dragon King can already defy one-third of the power of the Dragon Emperor Codex. If Zhao Xing rushes over and encounters Yin Xiu fighting other Great Dragon King or the Purple Dragon God, he will find it difficult to offer much help.
Even with his mid-stage Soul Rule Realm, he could probably only offer minor assistance and play a tiny role. It would be better not to go at all! Wouldn't that lower the Dragon Emperor's prestige?
"The big shots always make their appearance last. I'll wait until I've collected all four divine trees from the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Field before making any moves," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "For now, I'll just be a behind-the-scenes manipulator."
After finishing his instructions with Hogg, Zhao Xing left behind a Straw Man Clone and then flew north. "The Spring Dragon Spirit Bamboo governs the East." "The Summer Li Fire Lotus governs the South."
"These two plants have survived for over two hundred years in my Pure Origin Soil. Now they have fully adapted to the Pure Origin Soil and can unleash their full potential."
"Based on their domain and inherent characteristics, their overall strength can be calculated, and both plants are capable of reaching the late stage of the Beauty Rule Realm."
"However, once they are released, they only attack instinctively, and their attack patterns are rather clumsy and simple. Whether their combat power can be improved depends on how I, their master, use them."
"The Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Field, the Soldier Envoy Divine Art, and the Rule Leap —these are the means to unleash the combat power of Plant Soldier."
"Dragon Court should be able to find two more plants, one is the Autumn Li Divine Splendor in the west, and the other is the Winter Li Divine Splendor in the north." As Zhao Xing flew north, he also activated his Soul Vision to search.
In the 43rd year of the Yuanshuo Era, during the Eastern Ji period, in the northern part of the Dragon Court Ancient Land.
The mountains were covered in white snow, as if all life had died out and there was no sign of life.
Zhao Xing flew through the icy mist in the sky, and even with his ultimate-level dragon body, he felt somewhat cold.
"Even the Dragon King would easily freeze to death in such a frozen wasteland." "I wonder how it's doing now."
Zhao Xing came looking for the divine tree that governs the Divine Radiance of the northern winter, huh? The intensity of the cold over there suddenly increased. Zhao Xing suddenly sensed something, immediately changed direction, and flew rapidly northwest.
Three days later, on a mountaintop, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon lay down, "Whoosh~" "Bang bang bang~"
The biting wind howled between heaven and earth, and ice crystals struck the dragon scales with dull thuds.
"This isn't ice, it's ice cannons!" Zhao Xing glanced down at the dragon scales, which were covered in a layer of ice crystals. In just a short while, he transformed from a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon into a giant ice crystal dragon. Clang!
Zhao Xing swayed slightly, activating the Progenitor Dragon's Power, and the ice crystals shattered instantly. "It seems the Ice Soul Divine Tree is nearby."
Zhao Xing separated his divine Divine Soul into several strands and rushed into the vast snowstorm to search for the exact location of the Ice Soul Divine Tree.
Another half month passed, Zhao Xing finally found the Ice Soul Divine Tree, a Ice Soul Divine Tree treasure. Zhao Xing stopped when he was about a hundred miles away from the Ice Soul Divine Tree.
"Just one glance at it feels like my soul is frozen; the growth trajectory of the Ice Wave Divine Tree is itself a manifestation of the Way of Ice and Snow!"
"It would be perfect to use it to govern the winter Divine Radiance."
Each leaf of the Ice Soul Divine Tree appears transparent, with incredibly clear veins, resembling Dao patterns.
Zhao Xing looked at the tree and felt that it wasn't a tree that grew from the ground, but rather a Dao that had grown from the ground. It was at least at the late stage of the Rule Realm, and might even have reached the Perfection of the Rule Realm. "If such a divine tree were to advance any further, it would be very difficult to subdue it," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
A divine tree that has reached the Ascension Realm must possess its own will.
Previously, when we subdued Dragon Spirit Bamboo Blazing Fire Lotus, they only had survival instincts. Their instinctive resistance was transferred and they gained their own will, which already put them in the category of 'spirits'.
Going further, trees at the Establish Dao Realm will become sentient beings; in some parts of the universe, there will even be instances of trees ascending and soaring into the sky.
Fortunately, this one did not reach the Establish Dao Realm.
How do we determine this? Of course, it's because the conditions simply don't exist right now.
The Vitality Tide can only sustain one up to the Perfection of the Rule Realm. To truly enter the Ascension Realm? Only special cases like Ji Che, Witch Moon God, and Qing Yuzi can achieve this.
"Even if it's at the peak of the Rule Realm, it's not easy to take it down." I still have to call him Big Brother.
Zhao Xing unfolded the Pure Yuan Projection, and then he pulled a flower basket out of the ground.
The flower basket is small, but in comparison to the dragon's chariot, it is actually fifty meters long and twenty meters wide, and is made of various precious materials such as dragon crystal and Xuanmu.
Inside, there's also a small Water Spirit pool overlooking the Grand View Realm — Zhao Xing's exclusive little home for Cloud-Soaring Vine. "It's all up to you, Moyun. Come and scare it a little, make it stay still."
Zhao Xing didn't care whether Cloud-Soaring Vine understood or not, and with his dragon-drawn carriage carrying the flower basket, he approached the Ice Soul Divine Tree. "Squeak, squeak~"
"Sieve, sieve, sieve!!"
The Ice Soul Divine Tree began to move violently, as if saying: Don't come any closer! But Zhao Xing ignored it and continued to approach rapidly.
The Ice Soul Divine Tree trembled even more violently, and a large number of leaves began to fall, impacting Zhao Xing's location. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Zhao Xing's dragon body was shaken painfully, and even his scales cracked. The Pure Yuan Earth Soil was also turbulent as a result.
The Cloud-Soaring Vine was displeased. "Pure Origin Soil is where I depend for survival! How can you destroy my home?" "Yu~"
Two purplish-black leaves trembled gently, emitting ripples.
The next moment, the Ice Soul Divine Tree seemed to freeze, remaining motionless. "Hahaha," Zhao Xing laughed.
It looked as if the Ice Soul Divine Tree dared not shed even a single leaf! "Collect!"
Zhao Xing used his Pure Yuan Projection to envelop the roots of the Ice Soul Divine Tree, instantly severing a large portion of its roots, and then absorbed them into his own body. The Ice Soul Divine Tree's instinctive counterattack didn't even occur; it remained frozen in its original state.
"Big Brother is awesome!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but praise upon seeing this. He then returned the Moyun Teng to its original position and Soldier Envoy Divine Art.
A surge of spiritual energy, imbued with the spirit's own will, began to invade the Ice Soul Divine Tree's body. "Ninth Order Frost Domain, truly a rare treasure of the late-stage Rule Realm."
"The Ice Soul Divine Tree is a true battle tree with no auxiliary functions. Its two great innate secret techniques are both attack-type."
"Snowfall Across the Sky, which is a group attack. The Ice Soul Divine Tree has many holes, and it's from these places that ice, cold wind, and Heavy Snow can be blown out. Even my Ultimate Third-Turn Ancestral Dragon Transformation can be broken through."
"Secondly, there is the Extreme Frost Splendor. When stimulated by external factors, the Ice Soul Divine Tree will instinctively gather the power of ice in its underground roots and trunk."
The crown, altering celestial phenomena above and pressing down on the Earth Vein below, caused the temperature within a radius of a hundred miles to plummet, dropping to negative 208 degrees Celsius in an instant.
Based on the scale of the Great Zhou's Warm Hua Bottle, every 20 degrees below the standard scale can freeze an entire cultivation level to death. "Extreme freezing beyond 200 degrees can even kill someone at the Rule Realm."
"Thanks to the suppression of the Cloud-Soaring Vine, otherwise it would have definitely used this innate skill in its counterattack, and I would have been in trouble." With the Seven Po frozen, the speed of the soul's thinking would also slow down, making it difficult to react.
"Both of its innate skills are based on the Ninth Order domain. Logically speaking, the Ice Soul Divine Tree should also have a suicidal attack called Ice Soul Divine Fall." "However, I need to possess the third level of the Soldier Envoy Divine Art to control its self-destruction."
This move is best suited for the Ice Soul Divine Tree's self-destruction; other plants don't benefit much from it, but the Ice Soul Divine Tree is unique in its power.
If I were to command it to self-destruct, it could instantly create a Dead Domain.
"If the power of Extreme Frost Splendor is unleashed to a temperature of 249 degrees below zero, even Ascension Realm would be instantly frozen to death, and everything would fall into Annihilation Chapter."
However, it would be difficult for me to escape either; this is a suicidal attack, unless I combine it with the Void Ring to traverse the void and escape only through spirit.
The soul no longer desires the physical body.
By subduing this Ice Soul Divine Tree, Zhao Xing has accomplished half of his goal!
Dragon Court doesn't possess many rare treasures, so using the Ice Soul Divine Tree to govern the winter is the best option. "Let's go find the next rare treasure!"
While Zhao Xing was searching for treasure, the Dragon Abyss Main Kingdom...
A purple-gold dragon descended upon the royal palace of the Dragon Abyss Kingdom.
"Roar!" The Heavenly Dragon Lord Ji of the Dragon Abyss Main Kingdom roared incessantly, but its body was firmly gripped by the Purple-Gold Dragon, its enormous body...
The dragon claw, radiating a thick aura of malevolence, spread outwards.
This purplish-gold aura was like a razor blade; with each back-and-forth movement of the Dragon Abyss Kingdom's jewel, large patches of dragon scales were peeled off.
"(Dragon-Clan Golden Script) Submit, or die. You are a Reverse Dragon, I will never submit!" Ji roared, revealing the Purple Dragon God's identity! "You dare to use the Abyssal Demon Clan's divine artifact to kill me, you will be punished by the Dragon God..."
"Pfft!"
The Purple Dragon God gave him no chance to speak, and a purple-gold blade of energy cleaved him into more than a dozen pieces. "Gagi, Gagi~"
The Purple Dragon God devoured the severed limbs piece by piece. The dragon generals, lords, city lords, and even the seven newly awakened dragon kings around the Dragon Abyss Kingdom all lowered their heads upon seeing this cruel scene.
The Purple Dragon God actually tortured and devoured the Great Dragon King Ji. Dragon King Xiu, looking at this scene, couldn't help but roar, "He used..."
The weapons of the Heaven Abyss Mi clan killed their own kin, which is a violation of the Dragon God's rules!
The Great Dragon Earth can be killed, but not tortured, especially since the Dragon God killed its own kind with an enemy's artifact and then ate it.
"The Dragon Emperor was right after all; this traitor is incredibly powerful." Yin Xiu's pupils dilated slightly. "Give the order to cease the attack."
"Withdraw from the territory of Dragon Abyss Kingdom and garrison Xuanhuang Territory!"
The appearance of the Purple Dragon God greatly increased the strength of the Dragon Abyss Kingdom and the Sky Sea Kingdom, as he also united the Reverse Dragon species from the Sin Sea and Heaven Abyss regions.
Following the Dragon Emperor's instructions, the Great Dragon Lord Yin Xiu ceased his attack and switched to defense.
Because of the existence of the Purple Dragon God, the Extraterritorial Alliance was able to begin its legitimate activities, exploring regions such as the Central Royal Court and the Inner Sea.
Emperor Zhao Tong's advance was forced to a halt. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Court Ancient Land experienced nine years of peace. In the far west of the Dragon Court Ancient Land, in the Forbidden Forest, Zhao Xing was perched on a large tree, with his divided soul constantly returning and leaving.
"This is the fifth year I've been exploring the Forbidden Forest in the far west, and I still haven't found it."
For four years, Zhao Xing traveled from north to west, constantly searching for treasures from his memories. Because of the appearance of the Purple Dragon God, he needed to find more treasures to increase his chances of unification.
Four years ago, Zhao Xing packed up his belongings and sent them back to the Guting Kingdom before setting off again to search for the last rare plant.
"Could it be that the expansion of Dragon Court's terrain is caused by the Vitality Tide, and I've come to the wrong place?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I used the Earth Vein fluctuations of the Dragon Court Ancient Land as coordinates to search, and it should be roughly in this area."
"Even with some errors, my Soul Heaven Vision can already cover an entire prefecture. With the help of my split soul, I can search all Nineteen Provinces in a year."
Could it have gone into hibernation in the fall? No, that's not right, it's supposed to appear in the fall... Damn, something's not right!"Zhao Xing suddenly shivered, roared, and flew into the sky.
Just then, the giant tree he had been perched on suddenly uprooted, and eighteen huge holes appeared in the ground.
Eighteen tentacles silently shot from the burrow into the sky, heading straight for the soaring Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. Fast, incredibly fast! The tentacles rose twice as fast as their flight speed after the metamorphosis! They extended and lengthened almost explosively. "Transform!"
Zhao Xing immediately transformed into human form, his body rapidly shrinking. At that very moment, a deafening roar echoed from the sky! Two gigantic tentacles crossed paths.
If the original Shifting Dragon Drive is maintained, Zhao Xing will be entangled by the tentacles!
The impact was immense, emanating from the tentacles, from which a red mist emanated. Zhao Xing instinctively held his breath, yet his blood and qi still surged uncontrollably, a wave of bloodthirst rushing straight to his mind.
"Boom!"
Zhao Xing stepped on the Cloud Step and activated the Ruler of the Horizon, his entire body exploding into clouds and mist.
First, it dodged the impact of the bloody slaughter, and then it slipped out through the arch-shaped encirclement formed by eighteen tentacles.
"Boom!"
The tentacles seemed to have countless dense small tentacles, which were actually blood-red dragon-shaped and heading straight for Zhao Xing.
It has a knack for dealing with big guys, and it also has ways to take down smaller ones! "Substitute Straw Puppet!" Zhao Xing completed the Rule Leap the instant the encirclement was completed.
The next second, a Straw Man Clone was crushed and then pulled underground by a hemispherical bloody barrier composed of eighteen tentacles. Zhao Xing looked down from a safe distance.
Eighteen pale red vines slowly retreated into the ground, and then the hole was covered with soil, as if a Earthly Advantage Method had been cast.
"That was close, we almost crashed."
The vine right now is the rare and precious plant of the Dragon Court, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine!
The Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine lurks in the Earth Vein, feeding on Dragon Race; it was the one that attacked Zhao Xing just now. "What a Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine! It seems this one is about to develop sentience."
The awakening of intelligence usually requires the Ascension Realm, but in some extreme cases, plants that are not yet at the Ascension Realm can also possess autonomous consciousness, such as the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine.
It devoured countless powerful Dragon Race, preserving their consciousness, which coalesced into a unified consciousness within the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine.
Strictly speaking, this doesn't count as enlightenment; it's more like the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine being possessed by numerous remnant souls. However, these remnant souls have become one with the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine, inextricably linked.
"Damn it, I actually got ambushed by a vine! How embarrassing!" Zhao Xing was initially alarmed, but then became furious.
"I spent four years here trouting it, and it spent four years trouting me too?" "Yes, it's extremely sensitive to the aura of Dragon Race." I was probably already within its sensing range; it had concealed its own fluctuations beforehand, and my Soul Vision could see it clearly.
Above, yet unable to see through to the underground, or at least unable to see through its disguise.
"Let me see just how strong you are!" "Rise!"
Immediately, multiple clones flew out from Zhao Xing's body and then took root in the ground.
The Blood Dragon Vine enjoys feeding on Dragon Race, but it can coexist harmoniously with other plant life forms. Zhao Xing's clones do not exhibit any physical fluctuations.
So the clone successfully burrowed underground.
"Escape
Zhao Xing used his top-tier Mystic King to descend three thousand meters underground, but he still couldn't see the roots of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine.
Nine thousand meters underground, it seemed as if an invisible rule was blocking Zhao Xing's clones from exploring. "Bang bang bang bang bang!" A red wave swept across the Earth Vein, annihilating most of Zhao Xing's weaker clones, but three of the strongest ones survived.
His clone then disappeared.
"Found you!" Zhao Xing immediately fled in the direction the attack came from.
After disappearing into the ground, a ferocious roar suddenly echoed from beneath. "Roar!"
Zhao Xing's three clones almost lost their footing.
"Good heavens, it really is a pseudo -Establish Dao Realm. This Dragon's Cry actually conveyed a clear meaning." What does it mean? It's probably similar to the Dragon Race's "Get lost." "Good, good, good, you're monstrous, I like it even more." The stronger the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine became, the happier Zhao Xing was.
"The Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine feeds on dragons. It is very effective against Dragon Race and has even a history of hunting down the Dragon Emperor!" Zhao Xing had read through many ancient books in the palace of the Dragon Emperor Jie.
It records that a certain Dragon Emperor perished under the attack of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine. However, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine also disappeared with the end of the ancient era.
Even the Dragon Emperor had never seen it in person.
"Although such records exist from ancient times, they are enough to prove the power of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine." "Withdraw!"
After confirming the location with his clone, Zhao Xing immediately withdrew the clone. "Yu~"
The Pure Yuan Projection unfolded, and a large flower basket appeared in the air. As usual, if you can't subdue it, go for the Cloud-Piercing Cloud-Soaring Vine. "They're both vines, how can the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine be stronger than Void Seed? Brother, charge! Suppress it!"
Zhao Xing poured a large amount of spiritual liquid into the flower basket, then threw it towards the main root of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine. He then fled far away, retreating to a safe distance.
