The disciples of the Three Sects knew that even with the formation's aid, they were no match for a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
The Great Luo Dao Fruit borrowed the laws of heaven and earth, drawing upon the might of the Heavenly Dao.
If surrounded by Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, their chances of survival would plummet.
Fortunately, most of the surrounding strange beasts had been cleared away.
They only needed to follow this bloody path to break out of the Dragon Palace.
Forcing their way through and returning to Kunlun Mountain was their true goal.
Xuandan seized the moment, offering up the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage, and called out.
"Fellow disciples, board quickly! Let us muster our strength and break through the encirclement of strange beasts in one go."
The disciples of the Three Sects each employed their escape arts to mount the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage.
Duobao, brimming with sword intent, fixed an excited gaze on the carriage, clicking his tongue in wonder.
"A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—truly a fine treasure indeed."
"Junior Brother's fortune is indeed deep; This Humble Daoist is most envious!"
He stared at the extraordinary phenomena of the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage, his eyes filled with boundless envy.
How flashy!
This was far more impressive than finding a mount!
Guang Chengzi nodded in agreement.
"This treasure is not inferior to Master's Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage."
Praised for his treasure, Xuandan felt a secret thrill and broke into a smile.
He channeled his Magic Power into the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage.
In an instant, a phoenix soared into the sky, followed by a flock of birds.
Streams of cyan light flickered, gathering and dispersing like clouds and mist.
The Four Dragon Kings noticed Xuandan's movements, exchanged glances, and chose to lend their aid simultaneously.
Without a doubt, this was the perfect moment to curry favor!
They personally drove the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage for the disciples of the Three Sects, while shielding the Saint's Disciples as they safely left the East Sea Dragon Palace.
As long as they left a favorable impression in the hearts of these Xuan Sect disciples, it would bring nothing but benefit to the declining Dragon Clan.
Moreover... relying solely on these disciples of the Three Sects to force their way through the encirclement of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal strange beasts was far too reckless.
Even with the exquisite formation and the exceptional talent of the Xuan Sect disciples, Before absolute power, there was little chance of survival.
He could not allow the disciples of the Three Sects to meet with disaster in the East Sea.
If a Saint vented their wrath upon the Dragon Clan, they could not bear the consequences.
The Four Dragon Kings raised their heads and roared to the heavens, simultaneously arriving before the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage. Their Magic Power transformed into silken threads, pulling the carriage as they charged outward.
Dragon Kings pulling a carriage!
Six strange beasts at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm surrounded them.
Their eyes blazed with ferocity, and they let out roars, their might pressing down on all sides.
The Four Dragon Kings struck at once, four pillars of water carrying surging tides shooting straight into the sky.
Accompanied by the thunderous roar of the heavens, they shattered the space around them.
The Dragon Clan's innate mastery over the laws of water was pushed to its utmost.
The combined force of their four powers crashed into the six strange beasts before them.
In an instant, the beasts were driven back, and an opening for survival appeared.
The East Sea Dragon King seized the moment, pulling the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage with all his might, and bellowed.
"Young Friends, we will cover your escape!"
But the six strange beasts caught the scent of Xuandan and, ignoring their wounded bodies, prepared to surge back.
The path of life was steadily compressed.
ROAR!!!
The dragon roars of the Four Dragon Kings shook heaven and earth.
Thunder from the heavens crashed down.
The oppressive might of annihilation struck the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal strange beasts.
The dual paralysis of their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits froze them in place.
The Four Dragon Kings dared not hesitate for a moment, charging forward with all their strength.
On the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage, Xuandan's eyes shimmered with divine light.
The Dragon Clan is like a starved camel that's still bigger than a horse.
Just the combat power unleashed by the Four Dragon Kings alone far surpasses that of an ordinary Great Luo.
If a younger generation of the Dragon Clan could produce a Quasi-Saint, there might be a chance for them to rise again.
Seeing that they were about to break out of the Strange Beasts' encirclement, the beasts behind them still clung tightly in pursuit.
A Great Luo Strange Beast leaped high, opening its gaping maw.
It intended to swallow the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage whole.
At the critical moment, Duobao gripped the Qingping Sword and soared against the heavens.
He laughed proudly.
"Do not stop me!"
"This Humble Daoist shall test his sword on a Great Luo today!"
Duobao tightened his hold on the Qingping Sword. Countless Great Dao Inscriptions swirled across the blade.
As if endless killing intent was contained within.
He brewed a heaven-defying, majestic Sword Qi that shot straight into the sky.
His calm, unruffled eyes locked onto the Great Luo Strange Beast right before him.
A vast Sword Qi that severed heaven and earth and cut off all life surged forth like a river bursting its banks, pouring into the Qingping Sword.
"Sword Cuts Off Life!"
Duobao's voice was soft, yet it pierced through the souls of everyone present.
It was as if even the charging figure of the Great Luo Strange Beast was frozen for a single breath.
The Qingping Sword erupted with dazzling cyan light, slashing out a heaven-splitting strike!
The fabric of space shattered, ripples stirred in the void!
All things in heaven and earth paled under the influence of the Sword Qi.
The moment of collision thundered endlessly, as if lightning had descended upon the world!
The sword shaking the Nine Heavens left the disciples of the Three Sects dumbfounded, their eyes filled with reverence.
As the boundless light faded, wounds like bottomless abysses were left on the Great Luo Strange Beast's body.
At the same time, Duobao's withered figure was revealed, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
With this strike, though he had wounded the Great Luo Strange Beast, he himself was gravely injured!
Even so, Duobao still raised his head and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, exhilarating! Exhilarating!"
Zhao Gongming was the first to snap back to his senses. He summoned the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and charged into battle.
Fighting with all his might, he intended to bring the severely wounded Duobao back.
Guang Chengzi saw the perilous scene, summoned the Five Elements Demon-Breaking Crossbow, and called out.
"I ask all Fellow Disciples to lend This Humble Daoist a hand!"
In an instant, vast Magic Power continuously converged toward the Five Elements Demon-Breaking Crossbow.
The arrow shot through the air, and in the blink of an eye, it slammed into the Great Luo Strange Beast's body.
The power of the Five Elements exploded and shattered, wounding the Great Luo Strange Beast once more.
At the same time, it bought Zhao Gongming precious breathing room to rescue Duobao.
Zhao Gongming drove the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls with all his strength, fighting through a sea of blood.
Once again, he carved out a path of survival alone and returned to the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage.
Both were severely wounded. Xuan Du promptly delivered healing pills.
Duobao lay there, his aura weak but his spirit high, laughing up at the sky.
"Excellent, excellent! This sword strike was truly satisfying!"
Testing his sword against a Great Luo, slashing out a heaven-severing strike—his insights ran deep.
On this journey back to Kunlun Mountain, he was confident he could break through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!
Atop Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian watched Duobao's sword strike, his face flushed with joy as he praised repeatedly.
"Good, good, good! Truly worthy of being This Humble Daoist's chief personal disciple."
"Fearless, testing your sword against a Great Luo, cutting out a thread of life—excellent!"
The disciples of the Three Sects faced the pursuing Strange Beasts, each deploying their own techniques.
The Five Elements Demon-Breaking Crossbow and the Five Elements Demon-Cleansing Formation complemented each other, arrows firing continuously.
They managed to hold back the Great Luo Strange Beast's pursuit.
San Xiao, with the aid of the Hunyuan Golden Dou, joined forces to set up the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.
