Ancient Dragon Talisman! A True Dragon in Human Skin
The dragon beast lashed out with its claw, and even the scales on its powerful claw revealed bright yet obscure runes.
This is an ancient dragon talisman, representing the lineage of the Dragon Immortals.
However, the lineage of the Dragon Immortal had long since collapsed and disappeared in the long history of the Cultivation World with the fall of many divine dragons and immortal dragons such as the Ancestor Dragon, the Yellow Dragon, and the Divine Immortal Dragon.
The few remaining remnants of the Dragon Immortal lineage exist only within the bodies of some dragon descendants with True Dragon bloodlines. The lineage has long since been transformed into bloodline inheritance, giving rise to forces such as Dragon Spirit Island and the Dragon Transformation Sect, which are neither particularly strong nor weak.
At this moment, the ancient dragon rune appeared, and the dragon's claw struck out. Thousands of intense dragon energies gathered between the dragon beast's claws, heavier than Mount Tai, which also represented the high importance this Nascent Soul dragon beast placed on Chen Dengming.
A deafening explosion!
In the blink of an eye, the two fierce forces clashed violently, and the explosion generated a surging shockwave of Spiritual Qi that spread in all directions.
Boom--
Not far away, a mountain peak was sliced across by the circular shockwave. Instantly, half of the mountaintop emitted a loud 'crackling' sound, smoke and dust filled the air, trees collapsed and mountains crumbled, and huge rocks fell off and slowly slanted down.
Amidst the scattering of water vapor in the air, the dragon beast's massive body trembled violently and retreated, like a wave dissipating its force. The tips of its dragon claws were faintly red, as it felt that its dragon claws, which were known for their unparalleled strength and were powered by the pure dragon power within its Dragon Blood, had been numb by Chen Dengming's punch, causing it excruciating pain in its bones.
What kind of Monstrous Strength is this!?
This is the first time we've encountered a Nascent Soul that can directly challenge us in strength before it has even broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!
Even if the other party inherited the Dao power of the legendary Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage, and was even related to that ancient being that made its heart tremble, it was still far beyond its expectations.
At least the Dragon Son of Dragon Spirit Island, including the Island Master, would find it difficult to achieve such a feat at the Golden Core Perfection.
Before it could react, a long sword brimming with silver Dao power flew through the air, striking its eyes with blinding light.
"Roar--!"
The dragon beast's eyes blazed with fury. It suddenly lowered its head, and its dragon horns, which resembled halberds, gathered the surrounding spiritual Spiritual Qi, circling around the spiral-shaped horns. With each rotation, the spiritual light intensified, becoming dazzling and crystalline. At the moment of the 'clang' collision with the longsword, a burst of collapsing Spiritual Qi and sparks erupted.
The Hurricane Battle Saber let out a mournful cry, its blade chipped and chipped, its spiritual power greatly diminished, and it flew away.
A surge of Mental Power erupted from the sword energy, assaulting and shaking the dragon beast's mind, like a silver lightning bolt striking into its heart.
The dragon beast was shaken, its eyes blazing with divine light, and in an instant, it crushed the silver Dao power that had invaded its mind with overwhelming force.
But in that brief moment of distraction, the mist below began to ripple.
A colossal figure, a third the size of it, rushed towards it at high speed, accompanied by towering waves, and suddenly threw a punch with a roar.
Boom!--!
Another fierce silver fist-force Qi Pillar, carrying with it waves of water like giant dragons, surged and condensed as it attacked.
The dragon beast's eyes widened in shock and anger as it swiftly dodged one of the punches and the rapidly sweeping water ripples.
It felt as if the Human Immortal Way Power contained in the punch and the ultra-fast water flow were like sharp blades, scraping painfully against its body. It felt as if its scales, which it was usually so proud of, were no longer of any use.
This is a fighting style completely different from that of ordinary cultivators, similar to Body Cultivation.
However, the Martial Dao Divine Ability and supernatural powers of the Human Immortal Way are quite different from those of the Body Cultivation. They hardly use spells and rely on their super-powerful explosive force, which is incredibly lethal. Even dragons and beasts, who are used to fighting with their bodies, feel as uncomfortable as if they were encountering their own kind.
However, Chen Dengming sighed inwardly at this moment. Although his current power as Ancient Human Immortal Physique was astonishing, his Strength Realm were still a step behind that of a dragon beast.
Therefore, both their reaction speed and attack speed are much weaker, and they can be easily evaded by dragon beasts.
In fact, if it weren't for his extraordinary ability to predict the opponent's attack trajectory with his Heavenly Eye, he would have been forced to passively endure the blows.
At this moment, the attacks he launched with all his might, though dense and intense, were too much for the dragon beasts to withstand with their bodies.
However, this beast has the advantage of having three claws, a tail, and a head; its entire body can be described as a top-tier fourth-order Law Treasure.
In the heat of the moment, the dragon beast swiftly attacked with one of its lower claws.
At the center of the claw, an ancient dragon-shaped talisman shone with immense dragon energy before vanishing in a flash.
Bang!!-
Another earth-shattering explosion erupted, and a tangible shockwave of Spiritual Qi surged and rippled.
The dragon beast groaned, its claw scales splitting open like the feathers of an eagle, drawing blood. It was knocked back again, both claws wracked with pain.
As Chen Dengming threw another punch, astonishing energy, like silver spiritual energy, swept over, clearly the Martial Dao Divine Ability, spiritual Gang Qi.
The dragon beast was extremely frustrated.
This is unbelievable! We've run into True Dragon in human skin today! This is never going to end!
A Golden Core Perfection of their cultivation should not possess such formidable and enduring combat power.
Its eyes were filled with fear and embarrassment, and it quickly lashed out with its tail.
Whoosh--
The giant tail, carrying sharp Spiritual Qi shockwaves, resembled a giant axe, cleaving through the spiritual Gang Qi force into layers of ripples, before lashing out at Chen Dengming's muscular arms, which were swiftly crossing to intercept.
With a loud clang!
Chen Dengming felt as if he had been hit by a huge impact. His arms were in so much pain that they were almost numb and he lost all feeling. His huge body fell backward and flew away.
"Roar!!!"
A Dragon's Roar's roar echoed in their ears, making them dizzy with shock.
The dragon beast's figure was like a phantom, exuding murderous intent. It swooped down and struck out with its claw, unleashing a burst of spiritual light.
"Heavenly Eye!"
Chen Dengming's eyes flashed with blue light, accurately capturing the trajectory of the dragon beast's attack. While still in mid-air, he suddenly flipped over, dodging the dragon's tail with a speed disproportionate to his massive size, and then lashed out with a leg that resembled a pillar reaching the sky.
Almost at the same time, a thunderous boom resounded in the sky.
A streak of blue lightning flashed across the sky, instantly striking the dragon beast.
Su Yan Yan's flawless and graceful figure appeared amidst the lightning, her cold and imposing gaze sweeping down, her expression revealing a hint of worry.
A burst of electric fire erupted from the dragon's body, and its massive form suddenly stiffened amidst the flames.
Seize this fleeting opportunity.
Chen Dengming twisted his body and took a step forward, roaring as his momentum surged, and he suddenly threw a punch.
"Boom!"
A burst of Silver Light.
The fist, imbued with Spiritual Qi and Dao power, tore through the air, resembling a powerful and fierce Qi Pillar, like an Ancient Immortal, majestic as a mountain, roaring and punching the sky!
It was a bombshell.
The dragon's entire body stiffened.
At that moment, it trembled with fear, but it was too late to retreat.
This was a punch that could have struck it head-on and caused it pain; the consequences of it landing on it without any resistance were...
'Bang!--'
The dragon beast's body shuddered suddenly, and the dragon power defense formed by its numerous scales, which shimmered with spiritual light, was suddenly torn open, creating a huge gap.
The scales shattered and broke, and the Dragon Blood, radiating Golden Light, poured out, resembling a shower of gold coins in the sunlight.
A furious and terrifying Dragon's Roar instantly shook the heavens.
Wounded, the dragon beast was enraged, and the dragon energy within its Nascent Soul Dragon Core swept across its entire body.
The entire dragon body rapidly transformed into a ferocious, crystalline form, carrying waves of turbid Spiritual Qi energy, and suddenly roared out to attack.
"War!!"
Chen Dengming remained fearless, his indomitable fighting spirit growing even stronger. His Human Immortal Way Power was severely depleted, and he even began to deplete his fourth Dao rune, which he had not yet fully refined.
With a long roar, he stomped his foot hard on the water, creating a huge spray of water vapor, and his figure soared into the sky amidst the surging waves.
Call out!!
A flash of light!
The Hurricane Battle Saber, imbued with a storm-like aura, roared back.
It transformed into a massive, gleaming silver blade, several dozen feet long, crashing down like Rainbow Bridge, opening the heavens for the Ancient Immortal.
The attack is like a fierce tiger breaking free of its cage; the combined strikes are the most powerful and imposing!
"Clang!"
The gleaming, massive blade clashed with the sharp, hard edge of the dragon's claw, unleashing a bewitching aurora as thin as a blade, instantly cleaving the seawater in two and splitting the mountain peak in two.
The dragon claw trembled violently, its dragon power defeated and torn apart by the Human Immortal Way Power, the dragon claw broke and cracked, and Dragon Blood spilled everywhere.
The Hurricane Battle Saber shattered simultaneously, breaking into two pieces.
The two colossal beings used their bodies as Law Treasure, engaging in a fierce and astonishing battle that could only be fought by Body Cultivation.
Claws, fists, tail, dragon horns, and legs are all top-tier Law Treasure.
It is devoid of any fancy or mysterious elements, yet it is swift, fierce, and full of explosive power.
Any cultivator who relies on spells and Law Treasure to fight against this type of Body Cultivation will find that, unless they can use the wondrous countermeasures of Law Treasure Technique Method, the battle will basically end after just one hit.
"The Human Immortal Way..."
Su Yan Yan watched as two enormous figures clashed in a blurry battle amidst the raging wind and Spiritual Qi in the distance. Hearing the deafening roars, her heart trembled and tightened, leaving her utterly dumbfounded.
She knew that her good Nephew Disciple had broken through to the Golden Core Perfection nearly a year ago.
But the combat power displayed by her Nephew Disciple at the Golden Core Perfection stage left her completely baffled.
This seems to be some kind of supernatural Divine Ability of Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage?
It can grow to such an enormous size!
But while the Human Immortal Way is indeed powerful, it shouldn't be exaggerated to this extent...
"Gigantification, and this terrifying power that makes every move feel like a mountain collapsing."
Su Yan Yan's mind raced, recalling relevant memories. "In the past, in the Human Immortal Way, an Ancient Immortal boasted that he disrespected heaven and earth, disrespected ghosts and gods, and wanted to create the world himself, transforming his body into the Dao, and even be able to directly challenge Heavenly Dao formed by the Immortal Celestial Lineage, which is equivalent to crossing realms to confront the Heavenly Dao. It seems that he possessed this kind of power."
In the Immortal Way, there are immortals who imitate Ancient Immortal to cultivate into Giant Spirit Immortal, whose strength is astonishing. Could it be that my Nephew Disciple has mastered some kind of Divine Ability of that Ancient Immortal?
While she pondered, her hands moved swiftly, accurately judging that every gain comes with a price.
Such a massive increase in strength would inevitably consume a large amount of Dao power, making it difficult for Chen Dengming to sustain.
She quickly mobilized the nascent Nascent Soul Power she had just recovered and continued to activate the Cyan Lightning Pearl.
Crackling and popping—lightning and Thunder Fire raged around the Cyan Lightning Pearl, attracting the Thunder Fire within the dark clouds high above to flash wildly.
Rumbling!
Shockwaves surged across the sea below, erupting and spreading rapidly as the two colossal beings, a man and a dragon, clashed.
At this moment, streaks of azure lightning, summoned by Su Yan Yan, occasionally streaked across the sky and struck the dragon beast.
The angry roars of the dragon rose and fell, and occasionally a bolt of lightning would miss its mark and strike the sea, instantly making the water crystal clear and crackling with electric arcs.
In an instant, a stretch of sea seemed to have been set ablaze with the force of heavenly soldiers and generals, as if a powder keg had been detonated.
Streaks of lightning spread all around, like streaks of aurora dividing the heavens and earth, while thunderous roars sounded like ten thousand cannons firing simultaneously.
The entire sea was churning and raging.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment because of the lightning-fast battle.
In every breath, Chen Dengming and the dragon beast exchanged dozens of fierce blows.
Relying on his Heavenly Eye, he could predict the trajectory of the dragon beast's attack in advance, so even though he was much slower and less responsive, he could still keep up with the opponent's attacks.
Furthermore, his Ancient Human Immortal Physique allowed him to briefly confront dragon beasts in terms of power, and even pose a strong threat to them.
As for the dragon's might and its intimidating attack on his mind, it was firmly resisted by the mental defense line built by the Human Immortal Way Power.
This resulted in a surprisingly intense and exciting battle between the two sides.
The violent fluctuations of Spiritual Qi caused changes in the celestial phenomena, and the weather changed color.
Many schools of fish in the sea suffered a devastating blow. Sweeped by the aftershocks of the battle, they were thrown up by the waves like fish being blasted, their bellies turned white.
The dragon beast grew increasingly frustrated with each battle, its rage surging like a volcano about to erupt.
Although the shattered scales and the burning pain from the electric shocks were not fatal, they seemed to mock the incompetence of the dignified Spirit Lord Ancestor of Dragon Spirit Island.
This was the second time it had been beaten down by the uncle and nephew of the Longevity Sect, suffering a considerable defeat.
But this time it was even more embarrassing.
The one who mainly fought against it was the sect leader of the Longevity Sect, who was at the Golden Core Perfection stage, not his uncle Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
It has always been the weak that triumphs over the strong, but this time it was the weak that was defeated.
"Roar!--!"
Seizing an opportunity, the dragon beast opened its mouth, and incredibly dense Spiritual Qi surged back wildly, like countless auspicious colors, rapidly converging into its mouth to form a vortex of Spiritual Qi radiating a strong threat.
"Oops!"
The blue light intensified in Chen Dengming's eyes, his heart pounded, and he felt a strong sense of unease.
Panic, palpitations, depression.
All the strange mental states were warning him of an impending, enormous crisis!
He let out a long roar, sparing no effort to instantly consume more of his Human Immortal Way Power. The moment he was knocked back, he summoned a shockwave of seawater from below to slam into his body.
Boom!
Towering waves splashed out!
Chen Dengming forcefully broke free from the impact, instantly transforming into a silver afterimage as he charged wildly towards the dragon beast.
At the same time, another bolt of azure lightning struck down, tearing the dragon beast's skin and flesh apart, Dragon Blood, and causing the vortex of Spiritual Qi gathering in its mouth to momentarily stagnate.
The dragon beast was in so much pain that snot bubbled from its nose, and it was completely disoriented. The moment it regained consciousness, it flew into a rage and was about to spew out a vortex of Spiritual Qi from its mouth.
With a whoosh, the air trembled violently as a blurry, enormous figure approached, exuding an intense sense of oppression.
A gigantic silver hand, shrouded in thick fog, descended from the sky like lightning.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the dragon beast was hit squarely on the head, causing its head, which was the size of a house, to sag. Its whiskers danced wildly, and the scales on its head shattered, making it look extremely miserable.
Before it could even unleash its spiritual energy, it felt itself being tightly bound by two thick, iron-like arms.
A tremendous force, accompanied by a suffocating sensation, traveled from my throat.
"Roar!--!"
The dragon beast's eyes gleamed with a scarlet, piercing killing intent as it was lashed out by its giant, whip-like tail. The menacing tip of its tail, resembling a bone hammer, struck Chen Dengming's back with ferocity.
With a loud clang, Chen Dengming felt as if a mountain had smashed into his back, causing excruciating pain as if his spine had exploded, his skin torn open, and blood splattering everywhere.
Even the powerful Nascent Soul Evil Cultivator Tan Xiangkun, whose Nascent Soul True Body couldn't withstand a single claw from the dragon beast, was shattered into a bloody pulp. Although the Ancient Human Immortal Physique was strong, it was also on the verge of falling apart. Chen Dengming coughed up a mouthful of blood.
As the dragon's tail attacked again, its speed and power unparalleled, Chen Dengming's eyes hardened with coldness. His arms, which were wrapped around the dragon's neck, bulged with muscles. Ignoring the blood gushing from his back, he immediately unleashed his Divine Ability Spirit Devouring Technique.
Buzz!!
The surrounding void seemed to instantly collapse into a deep pool centered on Chen Dengming.
The dragon beast groaned in pain, and its lashing tail quickly lost its power, allowing Chen Dengming to dodge it by sidestepping.
Streams of pure Nascent Soul Dragon Power were rapidly drawn out of his body, like a flood bursting its banks, causing him to panic instantly.
"Longevity Sect Leader! That's enough!!"
The dragon beast, enraged, unleashed its Divine Sense, terrifying anyone whose power was being devoured. It rarely spoke human language and began to struggle violently, its thick neck scales opening rapidly, like blades piercing Chen Dengming's arms.
"You think that's enough? Why are you so eager to take action?"
Chen Dengming shouted, his mind in the Heavenly Heart Realm, desperately resisting the dragon beast's Divine Sense and dragon might. He gripped the thick dragon's neck even tighter, letting the dragon scales, sharp as a fourth-order Law Treasure, pierce into his arm flesh, bleeding profusely, but he refused to let go.
His Ancient Human Immortal Physique is now severely depleted. If he can't defeat and drive away this dragon in one fell swoop, he and his uncle will be the ones who suffer the consequences once they relax.
Although he was kind, he was not a cowardly fool, nor was he a Martial World youngster who could be easily tricked or manipulated.
"Fine! You've forced this dragon to fight you to the death!"
The dragon beast's eyes widened, its whiskers danced wildly, like ripe plums, and its powerful dragon might surged wildly.
Its neck continued to swell, radiating intense heat, desperately resisting the immense force from Chen Dengming. The bones in its neck twisted and creaked, as if trying to blast out the spiritual energy from its mouth.
Chen Dengming exerted all his strength to unleash the Spirit Devouring Technique, forcibly suppressing the Nascent Soul dragon power he had absorbed, which continued to replenish himself.
Although it was possible to forcibly suppress the Nascent Soul dragon and replenish its losses, the depleted Human Immortal Way Power was difficult to recover, and the losses were even exacerbated.
As the stalemate continued, Chen Dengming felt waves of weakness coursing through his body, as if he were about to be forcibly pulled out of the state of the Ancient Human Immortal Physique.
With both of them trembling so badly, Su Yan Yan could no longer use Heavenly Thunder to support them, fearing that she might accidentally injure them, and she was extremely anxious.
"Longevity Sect Leader, you are merely relying on your Dao power to act recklessly. After fighting for so long, how much Dao power do you have left?"
The dragon beast's enormous, lamp-like eyes also sensed the anomaly, revealing a mocking and disdainful expression, indicating that it had seen through the deception.
"Let him be strong, the silver moon still shines over the great river!"
Chen Dengming remained calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impatient, but his indomitable fighting spirit, fueled by a determination to Man Conquers Heaven nature, was even stronger.
He suddenly let out a long roar, and the last wisp of Silver Dao Script in his Sea of Consciousness completely melted away under the immense pressure, transforming into the last burst of Human Immortal Way Power, his whole body flashing with intense Silver Light.
The dragon beast was startled, sensing an extremely strong threat to its life.
Click!!--
An even stronger burst of power surged and erupted from Chen Dengming's body. His huge muscles bulged, his silver hair flew, and he forcefully twisted the dragon beast's thick neck, making a 'crackling' sound.
"Hu!"
The dragon beast let out a low, suppressed roar of pain, feeling a sharp pain in its neck bones.
Even with its power, it was completely unable to withstand the immense force that Chen Dengming unleashed at that moment.
Without further hesitation, it suddenly opened its mouth.
Boom! A blinding beam of swirling Spiritual Qi shot out.
Chen Dengming only managed to turn his head quickly before feeling a sharp pain on his face, followed by an intense burning sensation. Wherever the light wave passed, the air was shattered and dispersed into a fragmented state.
He endured the pain and used his strength to forcefully twist the dragon's head in the opposite direction.
The intense light waves that erupted from the dragon's mouth were like a blinding pillar of compressed Spiritual Qi, filled with high temperature, piercing through the heavens and earth, instantly cutting through seawater and mountains with terrifying force.
"Click!"
Almost simultaneously, the dragon's neck trembled violently, its neck bones broke, and the beam of light that spewed from its mouth instantly dissipated.
