Wenren Changguang was dead.
This True Dragon, who had used heaven-reaching means to evade the Nether Bureau's searches and survived from the Elder Era to the present, was dead.
Yet although Wenren Changguang was dead, no one shifted their gaze in the slightest. They continued watching the Dragon Body and head severed by the [Dragon-Slaying Blade], while keeping everyone else under scrutiny from the corners of their eyes, guarding against any covert moves.
The situation reached a stalemate.
The Celestial Persons, including Deng Qiuzhi and Lu Danyan, did not move. Tan Duanchang and Deputy Cult Master Gao, who had intended to extract the True Dragon's qi-blood immediately after killing Wenren Changguang, now dared not act rashly either, fearing that the Demon Realm's Celestial Persons would attack them en masse.
The [Dragon-Slaying Blade], a Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasure, could only injure Dragonkind. Used against any other living creature, it was no different from a battered kitchen knife. Moreover, its miraculous power needed time to accumulate, and that last strike had exhausted all of its might.
Besides, even conceding ten thousand steps, the [Dragon-Slaying Blade] was not theirs. It was a Supreme Treasure bestowed by the "Lord." Never mind the two of them-even the Cult Master might not be able to activate it. At present, the [Dragon-Slaying Blade] was no different from a lump of scrap iron. Only the "Lord" could activate and wield it.
Outside Heaven-Reaching City, not even a crow or sparrow could be heard. Only the pool of magma formed by Wenren Changguang's fall made occasional sounds. Everyone watched the Elder Era True Dragon's corpse in heavy silence.
By now, Zhang Yuan had also put away the Golden Carriage and used [Severing Past and Present, Leaving or Staying] to conceal himself. He and Tan Yaozheng hid in midair, ready to
