The one who spoke was Star Fairy. Having recovered some of her mana, she saw Red Dragon Ancestor trying to flee for his life. Her eyes snapped open, and she unleashed a vast net that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
This net was called the Heaven-Net God-Locking Barrier. It was also a supreme immortal treasure kept within the Glazed Blessed Land, possessing the wondrous ability to seal heaven, earth, and the void.
The treasure spread out in an instant, seeking to shroud Red Dragon Ancestor's path of retreat.
Yet Red Dragon Ancestor showed not the slightest fear. His eyes opened and closed as he let out an enraged roar. "If I wish to leave, who can keep me?"
As his words fell, he clad himself in the Redflame Golden-Scale Armor and drove his immortal sword down in a strike that forsook defense for offense, forcibly pushing the Heaven-Net God-Locking Barrier back half a step.
Just as Red Dragon Ancestor was about to escape into the open skies, Daoist Heavenly Wind finally could no longer afford to hold back.
At his urging, a resplendent peal of a bell rang out. The Star Ring Ancient Bell came crashing down, forcing Red Dragon Ancestor back.
"Another heaven-opening treasure."
At this sight, Red Dragon Ancestor's face abruptly turned pale. He said darkly, "You brought such weighty treasures to deal with me. You truly think highly of me."
"But so what?"
With that, Red Dragon Ancestor drew a deep breath, then opened his mouth and spat out a dazzling dragon pearl.
The instant he saw the dragon pearl, Chen Nianzhi's expression changed sharply. "Strike quickly! Do not hesitate!"
Unfortunately, they were a step too late. This dragon pearl was the natal dragon pearl Red Dragon Ancestor had cultivated in his previous life.
