The Black Dragon's Wrath; A Battle of Spells from Afar!
What night is this? My old friend does not come; the mountains are shrouded in twilight.
The misty, Chilian Mountain.
There is a peak called 'Heavenly Pool Peak'.
The summit is a massive, ochre-colored rock, split in two deep, bottomless chasms, each about a meter wide. The ancients simply built a bridge using two sections of stone, resembling the stone beams of Tiantai Mountain, hence its name, the Immortal-Crossing Bridge.
Because even on windless days, cold air rises from the deep cave, it is said that "only immortals can pass through it."
It is the abode of immortals.
On the flat surface of the rock top north of the bridge, there are two natural depressions, unfathomably deep, filled with clear water that never dries up, known as the Heavenly Pool.
The name of the peak originated here.
When the wind picks up, water droplets splash, like pearls and jade being sprayed, creating a truly wondrous sight.
The northern part of the peak is a sheer cliff, so steep that people dare not look down at it, hence the name "Heart-Trial Cliff".
This day.
A dark-faced Daoist priest walked up the mountain and arrived at the Immortal-Crossing Bridge.
"Do not say that your heart is difficult to test; please cross this bridge. If you can see the clear water, you can face the blue sky."
Xun Zhenbei saw the Immortal-Crossing Bridge, a deep ravine of unknown depth, like a ferocious beast opening its blood-red maw from below, its breath extremely cold, making one's heart tremble with fear.
Xun Zhenbei is True Immortal, so there is nothing to fear.
But upon reaching this bridge, he thought of the person ahead. He looked ahead, hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, stepped across the bridge, and headed straight for the Heart-Trial Cliff on the north side of the peak.
Not long after.
Arrive at the destination.
Looking up, one sees clouds rising and falling in the ravine, purple mist and clear skies, occasionally revealing "Buddha's light." Where the Buddha's light shines, a Daoist priest in black robes sits cross-legged on a giant rock at the summit, exhaling clouds and mist.
Upon seeing this, Xun Zhenbei's expression turned solemn, and he quickly bowed and said, "Xun Zhenbei Mount Zhouyou greets Black Dragon True Lord!"
The Daoist priest in black sat cross-legged without moving.
It seems I have never heard of Xun Zhenbei's words.
Xun Zhenbei inwardly groaned, "Everyone says that Black Dragon True Lord has a violent temper. That Three-Eyed Divine Hound was his childhood playmate. Although it was a fight between bandits from the Mountain-Water Realm, it was ultimately caused by me—"
My thoughts are a jumbled mess.
Xun Zhenbei also hated Lu Qingfeng to the extreme.
The thought that he would have to go to the Flame God Palace at Nine Suns Ridge after this trip to report the situation to Chao Jue's master, the Three Mountains True Lord, made him feel even more bitter.
"Black Dragon True Lord has a bad temper."
"The cultivators of Nine Suns Ridge practice fire magic, and because of their inherent nature, they are not easy to provoke. There are often frictions even among fellow disciples."
Xun Zhenbei felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, feeling that he had been extremely unlucky.
His face was dark, and his expression was one of sorrow.
A stick of incense.
Two incense sticks.
The entire two hours.
The Black Dragon True Lord remained seated in meditation, ignoring the attention.
Xun Zhenbei remained bowed and dared not stand up.
For True Immortal, such difficulties are merely a loss of face; backaches and pains are sufferings that only mortals must endure.
"If this can make him feel better, then so be it—"
As Xun Zhenbei was pondering this, his heart suddenly tightened. A deafening roar reached his ears, and when he secretly looked up, he saw a Black Dragon transforming into its true form amidst the billowing clouds and purple mist, circling and sweeping its tail across the sky!
"Mercy, True Lord!"
Xun Zhenbei was terrified. He retreated while begging for mercy from the Black Dragon True Lord.
However, the Black Dragon didn't care at all.
Bang!
The tail slammed straight into Xun Zhenbei's chest, and in an instant, Xun Zhenbei fell backward like a broken kite.
Even True Immortal would have countless broken ribs if struck by such a blow.
His true Immortal Method was scattered and sealed away.
A chilling aura descended from behind, and he plummeted straight down the Immortal-Crossing Bridge. It was as if a ferocious beast was drawing him in, suppressing him and rendering him unable to move.
The chilling aura permeated his body and soul, causing Xun Zhenbei to tremble and suffer unbearable pain.
Such torment.
Even Mahayana True Immortal could tolerate it.
He strained to look up and, in the darkness and cold, seemed to see a dark shadow flash by above, but then he could no longer sense any presence.
"Teacher!"
Xun Zhenbei endured the torment of pain, hoping his teacher would come to his rescue.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
But I never saw him.
He immediately realized, "My teacher sent me to Chilian Mountain specifically to let Black Dragon True Lord vent his anger?!"
This thought came to mind.
Xun Zhenbei felt both bitter and resentful.
"Ah!"
The chilling pain penetrated his body and soul, and Xun Zhenbei could no longer hold back, letting out a roar. In his voice, besides pain, there was also resentment and hatred.
But it is unknown whether they resent Lu Qingfeng or the Black Dragon True Lord.
Or perhaps—
Beyond the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.
The Star-Sucking Lord led his followers to hunt stars. His original three thousand followers were wiped out, but in a short time, they recovered to three thousand. However, their ranks were significantly lower, mostly at the first or second tier, requiring considerable time and resources to improve.
Han Ling'er commanded the Dao Soldiers to hunt down the Star-Sucking Demon Spirit in all directions, curbing the development of the Star-Sucking Lord.
Within six months.
They fought three battles against the Star-Sucking Lord, each ending in defeat for their side. Although the Star-Sucking Lord could defeat, and even crush, Han Ling'er, he couldn't capture her. Han Ling'er was no match for him; if she retreated to Han Ling City, the Star-Sucking Lord would have no further recourse.
This day.
Han Ling'er sat cross-legged in the city, cultivating.
She was making huge profits from her deal with Lu Qingfeng, and she didn't actually feel any urgency to deal with the Star-Sucking Lord.
"Given the current trend..."
"At most fifty years, I will be able to gather enough materials to build the 'True Baleful Grave'. 'The Undying Spirit Birth Immortal Spirit Nurturing'. This fourth-tier Dao Soldiers, the 'Corpse-Baleful Immortal,' is best at sustaining itself through battle. Once it reaches the outer realms, it can be fed with thousands of Devil Creature, and there is even hope of cultivating a fifth-tier Corpse-Baleful Immortal."
Han Ling'er awoke from her cultivation, surveyed Han Ling City, and her eyes fell on an empty spot, her heart filled with anticipation.
Even the frustration of losing to the Star-Sucking Lord again recently was swept away.
Inspection room.
Han Ling'er suddenly stopped and looked up at the outside of the city.
"Roar!"
A furious roar echoed through the heavens and the universe. A boundless aura surged forth, threatening to blast the entire Han Ling City away. However, Han Ling City and the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers were intertwined, almost forming a single entity. Unless the entire Mountain-Water Realm was broken, or Han Ling City was shattered, they would be extremely difficult to separate.
Neither shattering the Mountain-Water Realm nor destroying Han Ling City can be done easily.
Even a powerful being like the Star-Sucking Lord would find it difficult to accomplish.
But right now.
Under the shockwave, Han Ling City began to tremble violently. The city's formations were activated instantly, causing buildings to shake and the city walls to tremble.
Cracks appeared instantly.
"Not good!"
Seeing that Han Ling City was about to crumble, Han Ling'er dared not resist and immediately severed the connection between Han Ling City and the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers. The entire Battle City was instantly blown away thousands of miles away. Chaos and devastation ensued within the city, with buildings collapsing and heavy losses.
"Puff!"
Han Ling'er was in the city and also suffered a severe injury. She felt her Qi and Blood surging and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Her face flushed red and then turned pale.
She tried her best to steady Battle City and stared intently into the distance.
A Black Dragon roared to the sky, and with a flick of its tail, it slammed heavily onto the Mountain-Water Realm.
Boom!
A deafening roar resounded throughout the universe. In the Mountain-Water Realm, a fierce wind swept across the land, and waves surged dozens of feet high. Within, mountain peaks collapsed, the earth cracked open, and magma and subterranean fire surged forth. Stars from the sky, mixed with the fierce wind, crashed down.
It was like Purgatory on earth.
As if we were living in the end times.
"This is--"
Han Ling'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stared intently at the Black Dragon, and made a guess in her mind, "It's Chilian Mountain, the Black Dragon True Lord!"
The Three-Eyed Divine Hound was killed in the Mountain-Water Realm.
This Black Dragon True Lord was clearly taking his anger out on an entire realm.
Black Dragon Goes Mad.
The dragon's tail lashed fiercely at the Mountain-Water Realm. The vast realm, with its Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, appeared as fragile as a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water under the Black Dragon's ferocious power, utterly vulnerable.
Several attacks in succession.
It has already destroyed countless islands in the sea, collapsed countless mountains, and Spirit Birth countless deaths and injuries.
But they are still attacking.
This is a firm decision to shatter the Mountain-Water Realm.
"Are we to expect an entire realm of Spirit Birth to be buried with the Three-Eyed Divine Hound?!"
Han Ling'er felt a chill in her heart. It was the first time she had witnessed True Lord's anger, and she realized that the difference between True Immortal and Earth Immortal was like the difference between clouds and mud, or the bright Bright Moon and a firefly.
Overturn Rivers and Seas, roaring down stars, plucking the moon and seizing the sun, all in the blink of an eye!
This is the true power and might of True Lord!
She was filled with fear and extreme anger. She reached into her robes and grabbed a Jade Slip. Just as she was about to crush it, she saw a point of starlight bloom in the sky, followed by a sky full of dazzling stars.
Splash!
Banners of stars fluttered down from the void, landing in all directions outside the Mountain-Water Realm. The stars were moved, their movements shifting and instantly enveloping the entire realm. Starlight shone down, the earth stopped cracking, the waves ceased to surge, and the earth's fire and magma subsided.
"The stars shift and the constellations change, yet the world remains the same; without merit, the world will not fall into decline."
"This is the Heavenly Rotation Formation!"
Han Ling'er paused, her eyes suddenly lighting up, "Teacher!"
She glanced at it.
Deep in the void, before the figure appeared, three hundred and sixty-five large banners suddenly appeared, moving like dragons and enveloping the Black Dragon.
It was not as grand and majestic as the previous scene of shifting stars and changing constellations.
This formation is unpredictable.
As soon as it appeared, it created clouds and starlight, blocking both the way in and the way out.
"All things change, and the secrets of heaven are revealed; the human heart is unfathomable, and even ghosts and gods are awe-inspiring!"
"This ' Violetstar Northern Dipper Judgment of Heaven's Fortune is so powerful when Master uses it?"
Han Ling'er stared intently.
In the very center, the Black Dragon charged and roared, causing the great formation to tremble violently. However, the formation was incredibly complex and unpredictable, and no matter how it charged, it could not break free.
After a while.
A furious roar erupted from within the ranks, "Don't push your luck!"
Han Ling'er could tell that there was a hint of exasperation in the roar, and she felt as refreshed as if she had drunk a mouthful of ice water on a sweltering summer day. A bright smile appeared on her pale face.
Deep in the void.
There was no sign of anyone.
The great formation was not withdrawn; it continued to operate with a roar, and beams of starlight fell like falling stars, crashing into the center with continuous booming sounds.
The battle raged for hundreds of rounds.
Two full hours later—
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The Black Dragon roared, slightly panting, and opened its blood-red maw, angrily shouting at the outside of the formation, "Hand over the murderer, and I will retreat immediately."
Rumble!
The great formation refused to retreat, and even as stars trembled, the attack continued relentlessly. No matter how the Black Dragon writhed in the galaxy, it could not escape.
Three more hours later.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The Black Dragon panted heavily, its body riddled with wounds, its scales shattered, and blood splattered everywhere. Frustrated, it raised its head and roared, charging wildly at the great formation.
One can press on with one burst of energy, but the momentum will wane with each subsequent attempt, and eventually be exhausted with each subsequent one.
They were unable to break through.
It will be difficult to make further breakthroughs.
"Qin Feng".
"It is my fault to take my anger out on your disciple, but the murderer who killed the Three-Eyed Man must die today!"
The Black Dragon in the formation finally gave in and roared into the depths of the void.
"Teacher--"
Upon hearing the Black Dragon's words, Han Ling'er's eyes immediately shone with a dazzling light. In an instant, all her grievances vanished, and she felt incredibly proud.
The end of darkness.
After a moment of silence, a gentle voice came, "Let the juniors settle their own disputes. Brother Black Dragon is a True Lord of his own realm; it would be beneath his dignity to personally intervene."
The great formation ceased.
But it was not removed.
Within the formation, the Black Dragon True Lord transformed into human form, while the black-robed Daoist's thick eyebrows stood on end, his face revealing a fierce expression. After the transformation, he said in a deep voice, "According to Brother Qin."
These words were spoken.
The 365 star banners immediately flew out and disappeared into the depths of darkness. The Milky Way beyond the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers also vanished, as if it had never existed.
The Black Dragon True Lord's face was extremely ugly. He glanced at the end of the darkness, then looked at the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers covered by the Heavenly Rotation Formation. Finally, he snorted coldly and disappeared in black light.
