Hunting the Demon Dragon

After Lan Chang'an left after his visit.

In the cave dwelling of Zixia Peak, a remarkably handsome and imposing man appeared, wearing a tall crown and a loose feathered robe; he was none other than True Lord Yunlan.

"It's good that this person left. Yunqing is preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul, and no mistakes can be tolerated."

True Lord Yunlan spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on the direction Lan Chang'an had left the mountain gate.

Xiang Dalong was ultimately not a direct descendant of the Cloud Glow Sect Golden Core Realm cultivators.

True Lord Yunlan couldn't help but harbor a slight wariness.

True Lord Zixia neither agreed nor disagreed, but he understood his dao companion's feelings.

The process of Immortal Golden Core Nascent Soul is actually more dangerous and has a lower margin for error than that of a regular Core Formation Cultivator.

Because of its profound foundation, the most crucial transformation in Nascent Soul Formation, "Shattering Core to Form Nascent Soul," is basically successful, and the Immortal Golden Core can be formed successfully.

This means there's no turning back!

The subsequent heavenly lightning and Inner Demon Tribulation will lead to death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence if one cannot overcome them.

On the contrary, True Core cultivators with slightly weaker foundations and potential still have a chance to save their lives and even maintain their original cultivation level if they fail to succeed in the Core Shattering Core to Form Nascent Soul step.

However, after the first Nascent Soul Formation fails, the success rate of subsequent attempts is often even lower.

"Senior brother, when do you plan to help Yunqing Nascent Soul Formation?"

"I am truly serene," said the True Lord Zixia in a languid manner.

True Person Yunqing is not only the last disciple of True Lord Yunlan, but also his bloodline descendant, though separated by many generations.

True Lord Yunlan said, "Nascent Soul Formation within one year."

"Wasn't that a bit too hasty?"

Fairy Zixia frowned slightly.

Yunqing is still young and can actually hone her skills and gain more experience over the years.

"Yunqing is different from ordinary cultivators. He focuses solely on cultivation, pursuing a simple and genuine path, rather than engaging in worldly trials."

"More importantly—my senior brother has some knowledge of the Qi Observation Technique, and he has observed that the sect's fortune has fluctuated over the past hundred years. Fortunately, in recent years, the sect's fortune has finally stabilized, and even shown a slight upward trend."

"Yunqing reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, which is the perfect opportunity to Nascent Soul Formation. If he misses this chance..."

True Lord Yunlan explained his reasons in a logical and reasoned manner.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage, success depends not only on personal foundation and effort, but also on fate.

Those who successfully Nascent Soul Formation are all blessed with extraordinary fortune.

It was precisely because he sensed the subtle changes in the sect's fortune that True Lord Yunlan chose an auspicious day.

Moon Empress.

The High Antiquity forbidden land of the Central Region, at the edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley.

Two figures appeared one after the other atop a columnar mountain peak.

Besides Jing Wufeng, who was wearing a green silk shirt, there was also a gaunt old man wearing a bamboo hat.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang's disguise is extraordinary. If I hadn't been informed in person, I would have almost mistaken him for someone else."

Jing Wufeng smiled and looked him over.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Fellow Daoist Jing."

Lan Chang'an spoke amiably and explained the reason:

"That Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon has some history; it's not just a wild, unclaimed creature. I disguised my identity out of caution."

Jing Wufeng seemed to be deep in thought, and pondered for a moment before asking, "Fellow Daoist Xiang, are you worried about that ' Ghost Lord Asura ' who has disappeared without a trace?"

"That's right, although his fate has been uncertain for nearly a century, his reputation remains."

Lan Chang'an affirmed.

Ghost Lord Asura was once a renowned Nascent Soul Realm Rogue Cultivator in the Great Abyss. Later, he joined the Ghost Palace of the Northern Region and switched to cultivating Ghost Path Cultivation Method, eventually reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and becoming one of the best among his peers.

This person's most famous battle was when he lightly injured Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, but escaped with his life despite being severely wounded.

After that, they disappeared without a trace.

Lan Chang'an estimated that this person was a top-tier expert below the three great cultivators of the Great Abyss.

His strength is at least comparable to that of "True Lord Lingyu," the Son of Luck in the Great Qing Central Region. The latter has a record of defeating the Beast King Valley Sect Master.

That Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon was tamed by the Ghost Lord Asura before it became demonized.

"Even if that person isn't dead, they're probably not in good shape right now and are unlikely to be at their peak strength, otherwise they wouldn't have disappeared without a trace."

"However, Fellow Daoist Xiang is right; it's always good to be cautious."

After speaking, Jing Wufeng took out a scroll and slowly unfurled it.

The painting depicts many vivid figures, including men, women, young and old.

Swish!

Jing Wufeng flicked his finger, and the light and shadow of an old woman with silver hair in the painting peeled away and disappeared in a flash, landing on him.

The next moment, Jing Wufeng transformed into the image of a silver-haired old woman, with her appearance, clothing, and temperament all completely changed.

Lan Chang'an was secretly surprised that he couldn't see through Jing Wufeng's disguise after he changed his identity.

Moreover, Jing Wufeng humbly listened to advice and did not have the arrogance often associated with successors of major sects.

Lan Chang'an possesses the virtues of being steady and cautious; he understands things very quickly.

After the two met, they briefly discussed their tactics.

Half an hour later, they entered the gray, dimly lit Ten Thousand Demon Valley.

During the journey, Lan Chang'an deliberately probed Jing Wufeng's purpose, asking which major sect on the Tianyan Continent the other party came from.

Jing Wufeng was very modest, claiming that he came from an unknown small sect and that it was best not to mention it.

Upon entering the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, the two slowed down considerably.

Finding the exact location of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon is not as simple as it seems.

The Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon does indeed have a permanent lair, but it often ventures out to explore.

According to the tactical plan, we must never fight in the lair of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

Firstly, the location is quite deep, and engaging in magical combat there could easily attract the attention of other powerful Devil Creature.

Secondly, the lair contains corrupted and tainted Spirit Vein.

If they were to fight there, Lan Chang'an and his companion's Law Power would be corrupted, causing their strength to decline.

The Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon actually gains an amplification, constantly replenishing its energy, making it virtually immortal; even Nascent Soul Middle Stage might not be able to defeat it.

This is one of the reasons why the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon has not been hunted down to this day, not only because of the missing Ghost Lord Asura.

Furthermore, the nature of the Stone-Heart Dragon Essence Spirit Great Pill has changed after it has been corrupted, making it unsuitable for most humans and Demon Beast.

Rather than getting into trouble in forbidden territory, it would be better to hunt down other Demon King overseas.

Jing Wufeng's plan was to lure the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon out of its lair, set a trap on the outskirts, and hunt it down.

Moon Empress.

Lan Chang'an and his companion arrived near the lair of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

On their way there, they encountered many demonic creatures, but upon arriving near their lair, all was silent.

"It's not inside."

Lan Chang'an sent several Puppet in to explore, but they found no trace of Stone-Heart Dragon.

However, the lair of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon was protected by powerful fourth-order Restriction, which even formed an array, instantly destroying one of the Puppet.

Lan Chang'an had no intention of going in to explore. If he were trapped inside by the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon, he would be unable to defeat it or escape, and risk perishing.

After waiting for several months, the two finally saw the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon return from its escapade.

Hmm~

A powerful Devil Creature aura, accompanied by a deep, resonant dragon roar, approached the vicinity of the lair.

A colossal, demonized dragon, over twenty zhang long and covered in brownish-yellow scales, entered our senses, radiating the oppressive aura of True Dragon descendant.

As soon as the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon appeared, it entered battle mode, stirring up black and yellow sand and eerie demonic energy that swept across an area of twenty miles.

Previously, Lan Chang'an's Puppet explored the nest and touched the Restriction, which naturally alerted the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

Stone-Heart Dragon's powerful Divine Sense scanned the surroundings and quickly detected Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng hiding there.

"Run!"

Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng used their Escape Light to flee hastily to the outer perimeter.

Boom!

At the same time, the Puppet and Talisman pre-installed in the lair triggered an explosion, causing the mountain to collapse and resulting in considerable damage.

Stone-Heart Dragon's cold pupils revealed furious killing intent as he let out a roar and chased after the two.

As a descendant of True Dragon, the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon is faster than a typical Nascent Soul Early Stage, but lacks agility.

This Stone-Heart Dragon, having been corrupted by demons, dislikes taking human form and prefers to maintain its original, natural state.

Despite both Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng possessing top-tier level 3 Escape Talisman, their speed was still significantly inferior.

The two tried to navigate the complex terrain, fighting and retreating simultaneously.

The Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon is no pushover; it unleashes its earth-based Divine Ability as soon as the distance closes.

A sandstorm, scattering dust, gold dust, and shards of iron, swept across the sky.

Or perhaps a pillar-shaped earth spike, tens of feet high, suddenly bursts out from the ground or mountainside, equivalent to a fourth-order Law Technique at the Nascent Soul level.

If it were an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator, they wouldn't have lasted even a moment; they would have perished long ago.

However, both Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng are extraordinary beings, possessing the confidence to contend with and contend with Nascent Soul True Lord.

Jing Wufeng's Divine Ability and supernatural Movement Method are extremely strange.

Its figure was hit several times by the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon's ranged Law Technique, turning into shattered wind shadows.

The next moment, they teleported to a distance of twenty or thirty feet.

This kind of teleportation Divine Ability, accompanied by subtle spatial fluctuations, made Lan Chang'an extremely envious, but he couldn't learn it.

Even a typical Nascent Soul would find it difficult to achieve.

Lan Chang'an suspected that this person possessed a spatial-type Innate Dao Body.

In the vast Cultivation World, there are many types of Innate Dao Body, each with its own unique talents.

Among them, Innate Dao Body involving space are the most advanced type.

Moreover, Jing Wufeng's escape technique is primarily wind-based, with spatial abilities serving as a secondary element. This not only minimizes energy consumption but also allows him to create various afterimages to confuse his enemies.

If we exclude external objects such as Puppet Talisman, Lan Chang'an is far inferior to this person in terms of his ability to deal with the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

In order to maintain their strength, Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng used various methods to restrain each other during the seduction process, thus giving each other time to recover their Law Power.

Lan Chang'an's methods of restraint relied on Law Treasure, Puppet, and Spirit Pet.

The Earth Rock Rat cast a Dust Storm Law Technique to weaken the sandstorm sweeping up by the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon, preventing the two from getting entangled and reducing their speed.

If he gets entangled, Lan Chang'an will summon a fourth-tier Puppet, a defensive Law Treasure, to block it head-on.

Two days later, Lan Chang'an and his companion landed in a dense forest.

We finally arrived at the pre-arranged ambush location.

At this moment, Lan Chang'an, Jing Wufeng, and the Earth Rock Rat had all suffered some external injuries and their Law Power had been greatly depleted.

Lan Chang'an has a long and healthy life force; with the help of recovery pills, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The fourth-tier Puppet's outer shell was slightly damaged, so Puppet Crystal were added to it.

Jing Wufeng took out a mutton fat bottle, drank a mouthful of the Millennium Spirit Milk, and his Law Power instantly returned to its peak.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, as long as Shi Stone-Heart Dragon is lured into the ' Phantom Void Thousand-Kill Formation,' I, Jing, have a 70% chance of killing him."

Jing Wufeng had set up a spatial illusion-type killing array in advance in the dense forest and shallow void, which was more sophisticated and had a much stronger overall ability than Lan Chang'an's Tier 4 Illusion Formation.

During the previous formation setup, Lan Chang'an confirmed that Jing Wufeng was also a formation master, with skills reaching the near-fourth rank, and was proficient in spatial formations.

This also demonstrates the courage this person had to join forces to hunt down the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

Spirit Stone alone are not enough to make the formation work.

Jing Wufeng also instructed Lan Chang'an to arrange four third-tier Puppet to be stationed at the four array bases, providing a supply of Law Power.

With everything prepared, the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon was successfully lured over.

But at this moment, Lan Chang'an and his companion encountered a problem.

Hmm~

The Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon lingered ten miles outside the dense forest, growling softly, seemingly wary, and no longer approached.

Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng exchanged glances, their brows slightly furrowed.

If the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon doesn't enter the ambush, even if you defeat it, it will be difficult to capture and kill it to obtain the Essence Spirit Great Pill.

If it were a normal Transformation Demon King, with high intelligence, the success rate of such an ambush would be very low.

The demonized Stone-Heart Dragon is mentally confused and easily blinded by killing, which is why Jing Wufeng used this trapping plan.

"The Stone-Heart Dragon, with its Heaven Grade Bloodline and a thin layer of True Spirit within its bloodline, possesses a keen sense of smell, or perhaps it instinctively senses something."

Jing Wufeng gave a wry smile and analyzed the situation via telepathy.

Previously, when the two were escaping, they had traversed many complex geographical environments, but the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon had no such concerns.

Squeak!

After taking the recovery pill, the Earth Rock Rat rubbed its head against Lan Chang'an's body.

Then, the man and the mouse quickly communicated telepathically.

Although the Earth Rock Rat haven't transformed into human form, they can speak human language, but most of the time they don't like to communicate in a way that's different from other species.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Lan Chang'an looked at the Earth Rock Rat and said solemnly.

Jing Wufeng, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought, and suddenly thought of a way to lure him.

"The owner risked everything to give the Little Mouse the fortuitous opportunity to transform into human form, so the Little Mouse naturally has to do its part."

The Earth Rock Rat's gaze was resolute as it transmitted its voice.

"Good."

Lan Chang'an did not try to stop him.

The method using the Earth Rock Rat carries certain risks, and we still need to guard against Jing Wufeng's scheme.

Squeak!

The Earth Rock Rat flew into the air above the forest, exuding the ferocious aura of a powerful earth-type monster.

Stone-Heart Dragon, being an earth-type dragon beast, felt a resonance and couldn't help but look at the Earth Rock Rat.

Call!

The Earth Rock Rat suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a third-tier peak-level Great Elixir, shaped like an earthy yellow sphere, with some Dao of Alchemy patterns on its surface, and surrounded by a Qi of Earth Sha.

Qi of Earth Sha is a new change that occurs after absorbing Innate Turbid Qi, and can be considered an advancement of earth-type talent.

To some extent, the Innate Turbid Qi generated by the fall of the Mystic Heaven Dead Object should have been more compatible with the Earth Rock Rat, but it was mostly swallowed up by the Mystic Water Turtle.

The aura emanating from the peak third-tier Great Elixir before him immediately caused the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon's throat to throb and its cold eyes to show interest.

The Earth Rock Rat controlled the Great Elixir, which hovered above its head and flew hundreds of feet away, spinning rapidly.

"Take it back, it's too dangerous."

Lan Chang'an suddenly spoke up to stop him.

Upon hearing this, the Earth Rock Rat opened its massive mouth, preparing to retract its demon core.

Ugh!

The Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon roared and pounced, its claws reaching out to snatch the demon core from the Earth Rock Rat.

The Daoist charm and unique aura contained in this third-tier demon core held an inexplicable allure for him, surpassing that of other demon cores of the same tier.

My intuition tells me this is definitely a highly nutritious food!

They were just a few third-tier beings; the Greedy Instinct of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon quickly overcame its limited rationality.

However, as soon as the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon approached the dense forest, transparent ripples appeared in the surrounding void.

Buzz!

The void before them distorted, and the enormous demonized fossil dragon was trapped in a cold starry sky.

The moment the Demonized Dragon lunged into the ambush, Jing Wufeng activated the "Phantom Void Thousand-Kill Formation" in time.

The Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon completely ignored the ambush formation and, following its olfactory instincts, continued to pounce on the Earth Rock Rat.

Sizzle!

In the void, strands of transparent silver light appeared, like invisible fishing nets, incredibly resilient, binding and hindering the stone dragon's body.

In an instant, Stone-Heart Dragon's speed decreased significantly, and fine marks were left on his body, with a few drops of blood seeping from his abdomen.

Taking this opportunity, the Earth Rock Rat reabsorbed the Great Elixir into its body. With the assistance of the Void Illusion Formation, it took a step that covered dozens of feet, creating distance between itself and the enemy.

"This dragon's physique is truly formidable!"

Inside the Void Illusion Formation, Lan Chang'an and Jing Wufeng exchanged a glance.

The fourth-order Illusion Void Thousand-Kill Formation contains a trace of spatial power in its killing power.

Protective auras and Law Treasure artifacts can penetrate defenses more quickly.

If a Nascent Soul Early Stage encounters this ambush, they will be scraped to pieces in no time if they do not have a quick way to break the formation.

However, the killing methods used in this formation can only inflict minor physical damage on the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, first wear down his spirit."

Jing Wufeng wasn't in a hurry. He summoned a thin, translucent silver dagger.

It was his Law Treasure, the [Voidless Blade].

This sword was forged using precious Spatial Treasure Material.

laugh--

Lan Chang'an detected a strange sound in the shallow layer of the void, and the [Voidless Blade] briefly disappeared from his Divine Sense.

He felt a chill run down his spine, sensing a hint of threat.

The next moment, the silver dagger grazed the neck of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon, blood splattered, and a wound half a foot deep was left.

For Stone-Heart Dragon, this level of wound was not fatal, but it truly broke through his defenses and damaged his flesh.

The previous battles and various attacks only caused superficial damage to Stone-Heart Dragon.

Sensing the threat, Stone-Heart Dragon roared, its aura surging, its dragon scales trembling, creating a membrane of stone-patterned light, and its body expanded once more.

Boom!

The dozens of silver threads of light that bound the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon, before they could be woven into a net, were forcibly broken off, shattered inch by inch, and vanished into the void.

Instantly, the illusory starry sky where the great formation was located began to shake unstablely, and through several cracks, the blurry scene of the dense forest outside was revealed.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, restrain it!"

Jing Wufeng, distracted by controlling the formation, transmitted his voice.

Lan Chang'an did not back down, knowing that the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon's outburst was only temporary.

He had the Green-Armored Man, a fourth-tier Puppet, transform into a ten-zhang-tall puppet body to directly restrain Stone-Heart Dragon.

The fourth-tier Puppet's eye sockets glowed with eerie green flames, shimmering with the light of intelligence.

It possesses the consciousness of Puppet Master Wei, so Lan Chang'an doesn't need to focus on controlling it.

The Green-Armored Puppet was enveloped in Cyan Iron Gale, combining offense and defense. It leaped relatively nimbly onto the back of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon, and swung its Zombie -like hard iron arms fiercely, pounding it down.

In a one-on-one situation, even if the Green-Armored Puppet reaches the fourth rank, doing so would be overestimating its own abilities.

However, at this moment, the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon was trapped in a fourth-order formation and was attacked by multiple people.

Lan Chang'an unleashed the rope, a superior-grade lightning-type Law Treasure. Amidst thunder and lightning, it crackled and transformed into a lightning whip several dozen feet long.

The Thunder Whip moved with extreme agility, flashing in a "whoosh" and strangling the neck of the Demonized Dragon.

Lan Chang'an had taken the Amplification Pill beforehand, causing his Law Power to surge to the limit of the Golden Core stage.

The advantage of cultivating both body and magic allows him to not only supply the Thunder Whip Law Treasure with his Law Power, but also provide it with powerful support.

As a top-grade binding magic Law Treasure, there is no need to worry about it being broken by the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

Sizzle!

Black smoke rose from the scales on the Petrification Demon Dragon's neck, its demonic energy suppressed by lightning power.

The Demon Dragon's body spun violently, its terrifying force accompanied by black and yellow gales, attempting to shake off and throw Lan Chang'an and the fourth-tier Puppet.

Fortunately, both Lan Chang'an and the Puppet have improved in strength compared to back then.

In the blink of an eye.

Lan Chang'an felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth. Even with the help of the fourth-tier Puppet, they were still unable to suppress the Petrification demonic dragon that had erupted.

"Well done!"

At this moment, Jing Wufeng once again manipulated the Illusion Void Formation, re-condensing strands of transparent silver light into an invisible net that bound the Stone-Heart Dragon's abdomen.

Lan Chang'an felt much less pressure, and the pain and numbness in his hand lessened.

The three forces combined to restrain the head and torso of the Stone-Heart Dragon, but its tail continued to sway and thrash.

Lan Chang'an assigned the least stressful part to the Earth Rock Rat and the Mystic Water Turtle.

Squeak!

The Earth Rock Rat bristled, its body swelled to two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and its entire body condensed into crystalline yellow stone light. It slid off the back of the Stone-Heart Dragon, took out a Law Treasure iron chain newly crafted by its master, and wrapped it around the dragon's tail.

In its fortuitous opportunity for transformation, the Earth Rock Rat went all out, expending its Essence Blood and vital energy to unleash its power, reaching near-fourth-tier Puppet.

The Mystic Water Turtle retracted its head into its shell and unleashed its mutated [Mystic Nether Heavy Water] Divine Ability from a distance.

Smack

The deep, heavy water spheres merged in mid-air, transforming into a dark, cold, circular stream of water that entangled the Demonized Dragon's tail.

The Mystic Water Turtle absorbs more Innate Turbid Qi, and the Heavy Water Divine Ability it generates also possesses strong corrosive properties.

Due to the vast difference in cultivation level, its current abilities are limited to assisting the Earth Rock Rat.

By maintaining distance and retracting its head into its shell, Lan Chang'an was not worried about it being instantly killed by the aftershocks of an attack.

The Mystic Water Turtle's bloodline has reached the Heaven Grade, and its shell's defense is comparable to that of a peak-level third-tier Earth Rock Rat, with even stronger Law Technique resistance.

Because the tortoise was not old enough, Lan Chang'an had given up the idea of taking its scales and making Divination Artifact.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang, maintain this state and suppress and restrain him!"

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Jing Wufeng breathed a sigh of relief and then manipulated the [Voidless Blade] to occasionally strike the vital points of the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

Unfortunately, the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon reacted quickly, closing its eyes and failing to damage its eyeballs.

With the help of the fourth-order Illusion Void Thousand-Kill Formation, Lan Chang'an, Jing Wufeng, the fourth-order Puppet, and two Spirit Pet joined forces to completely restrain and suppress the Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon.

Its head, abdomen, torso, and tail each have a clearly defined function.

"We should be safe now, just be wary of the dragon's counterattack tactics."

After a long pause, Lan Chang'an murmured.

Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.

The bound, Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon's heart-shaped eyes, filled with Sha Qi, flashed with a cold glint.

The stone heart and the Essence Spirit Great Pill within its body surged, emitting strange fluctuations.

Call out!

His pair of crystal-yellow eyes, swirling with ethereal light, locked onto Jing Wufeng, whose figure was constantly shifting.

"Oh no! It actually comprehended it..."

Jing Wufeng met his gaze, his heart pounding, an indescribable stiffness spreading from his mind to his entire body.

Call!

Amidst the black and yellow sandstorm, Jing Wufeng's elegant green-clad figure suddenly froze, a layer of earthy yellow color rapidly spreading across his entire body.

"Petrification Divine Ability!"

Lan Chang'an had no time to worry about Jing Wufeng; a sudden sense of alarm struck him!

A chilling sense of dread washed over me.

Hmm~

The Demonized Stone-Heart Dragon opened its bloody maw, turned its head, and spat out a twisted, deep, dark Yellow Dragon Immortal City flame, heading straight for Lan Chang'an, who was closest to its dragon head.

The distance was short, and the speed was too fast!

Even though Lan Chang'an was on guard, he didn't have time to dodge.

Whoosh!

The dark Yellow Dragon Immortal City flame contained the Essence True Fire of the Stone-Heart Dragon, and even had the destructive power to those of higher levels, which ordinary Nascent Soul could not withstand.

Without a second thought, Lan Chang'an instantly produced two fourth-tier Treasure Talisman that he had been preparing for a long time!

I've been dealing with some upsetting things in real life, plus I've been stuck on some issues lately, so updates have been inconsistent.

Fortunately, the matter is mostly resolved.

This is no small matter; my wife had an abortion for our second child, and there was nothing I could do to stop her.

They hired a housekeeper for her to cook and do housework, and promised to give her the rent as her salary every year. But she still felt insecure and wanted to make more demands.

I didn't want to spoil them either. Originally, it didn't matter whether we had a second child or not. Having a daughter would make it easier for me to relax. The main reason was that my parents had repeatedly asked me to have a second child.
