Azure Dragon of the East, Bearing the Essence of Fire (33)
"What?"
No one expected that Divine Lord Meng Zhang would react so quickly.
The Yinyi lurking in the shadows was momentarily stunned, and had to emerge from the shadows and materialize again to avoid the lightning.
However, this was the opportunity that Divine Lord Meng Zhang had been waiting for.
Suddenly, it turned around, and its body transformed into a hundred-foot-long Azure Dragon.
"Hold head high!"
Divine Lord Meng Zhang was never Li Boyang; he had no interest in sparring or testing his opponent little by little.
Going all out from the start is a good habit that Divine Lord Meng Zhang has had since his time Totem Deity.
Rumble...
As Divine Lord Meng Zhang manifested his true form as Azure Dragon, dark clouds began to gather nearby.
Streaks of lightning and thunder flashed among the dark clouds.
Its terrifying and overwhelming aura even suppressed the vortex of the Netherworld Qi at one point.
"Drink!"
Seeing this, Yinyi his teeth and once again disappeared into the shadow of Divine Lord Meng Zhang.
Because He cannot allow Divine Lord Meng Zhang to affect the gathering of Netherworld Qi —even at the cost of His own life.
Sizzle sizzle...
Visible black arcs of electricity emerged from the shadow of Divine Lord Meng Zhang.
Realizing the danger, Divine Lord Meng Zhang decisively opened his mouth wide and spat out a torrent of seawater toward his own shadow.
The seawater surged up to the sky, falling heavily, threatening to engulf the entire Lacquer Teeth City.
Unfortunately, Yinyi was truly fighting desperately this time, completely disregarding the onslaught of the seawater.
"Hold head high!"
Accompanied by an equally high-pitched dragon roar.
The Yinyi forcefully devoured the surrounding Netherworld Qi, controlling Divine Lord Meng Zhang's shadow to break free from the body's restraints in a way that exceeded its own limits.
In the blink of an eye, a shadowy dragon, roughly the same size as Divine Lord Meng Zhang, appeared.
"Hold head high!"
The shadowy dragon had no facial features, no details.
It appeared to be just a raised shadow, yet it possessed power comparable to that of the Divine Lord Meng Zhang.
Clang!
The moment the claws clashed with the scales, a piercing metallic clang resounded through the sky.
"No Law Technique, no Divine Ability..."
What use is simply possessing my physique!?
With a deafening roar, the Azure Dragon that Divine Lord Meng Zhang, had transformed into immediately reversed its direction and began to coil around him, attempting to strangle him in the most primal way.
"As long as I can hold you off!"
The Shadow Dragon also opened its mouth and engaged in close combat with Azure Dragon; its goal was clear.
That is to hold off Divine Lord Meng Zhang and prevent him from having any chance to use any Law Technique Divine Ability. Only in this way can we buy as much time as possible for the ritual to proceed.
"Hold me back? Are you dreaming!?"
Enraged, Divine Lord Meng Zhang laughed involuntarily, and with a flick of his tail, his body shrank incredibly rapidly.
Without giving Yinyi any time to react, Divine Lord Meng Zhang, having successfully broken free from the other party's entanglement, suddenly took a breath and immediately returned to his original size.
No, the Azure Dragon has become even larger this time.
Against the backdrop of the sea and waves, the sun in the sky was obscured, and the ground was covered in shadow.
At this moment, Divine Lord Meng Zhang was already a truly colossal being.
Its body, thousands of feet long, floated in the air like a mountain range, giving people a silent sense of oppression.
Completely underestimating the opponent's strength, Yinyi instinctively looked up at the sky.
But in the next second, it was swallowed up by the dragon's open mouth, without any chance to resist.
--Dragons can be large or small, can rise or hide.
--On a grand scale, it stirs up clouds and mist; on a small scale, it conceals its form.
--When it rises, it soars through the universe; when it hides, it lies dormant within the waves.
At the same time, the battle between the Red Serpent and the God Futu below was also nearing its end.
Braving the seawater that seemed to fall from the sky, they allowed the waves to engulf the capital.
The head of the God Futu flew through the air, while his body swung his long sword and slashed continuously.
This is the true "Three-Sword Style".
The three long blades moved in near-perfect coordination, relentlessly closing in on the Red Serpent.
Any ordinary deity would have been forced to dodge and defend against the onslaught of the God Futu.
But this time, His opponent was not an ordinary god, but the most trusted subject of Yu Guo, the former god of the East Sea.
As everyone knows, the God of the East Sea, Yu Guo, has four yellow snakes under his command, who are responsible for protecting him.
Few people know that Yu Guo also had a Red Serpent under his command, which patrolled the East Sea on his behalf and secretly contacted the gods of the Great Xia.
To be entrusted with the care of the young emperor by Yu Guo...
Before his death, Yu Guo was entrusted with the mission of guarding the [Yin World Nether Spring]...
The Red Serpent possesses more than just loyalty; its abilities are second only to those of Heavenly Deity.
Tumultuous!
Faced with the flashy three-sword style attack of the God Futu, the Red Serpent opened its mouth again.
This time, however, the Red Serpent did not spew out flames; instead, it gathered endless heat into its mouth.
In that instant, it was as if a sun had appeared on the ground.
Endless heat and radiance emanated from the Red Serpent, turning the surrounding seawater into scalding steam.
--Divine Ability Bearing the Essence of Fire!
This fire is neither heavenly fire, nor earthly fire, nor the fire of the sun.
It is the "essence of fire" formed from the convergence of the essence of heaven and earth, and it is also the trump card that allows the Red Serpent to suppress the [Yin World Nether Spring] on its own.
Where the firelight shone, the Netherworld Qi dissipated.
The God Futu, who was so close at hand, was burned to nothingness before he could even utter a wail.
Rumble...
When the Red Serpent closed its mouth again, its face was noticeably pale and listless.
It is obvious that the Red Serpent was unable to fully control this supernatural Divine Ability.
The fact that it was used only Udumbara Flower was already the limit that the Red Serpent could achieve.
However, the Red Serpent's risky use of this Divine Ability was not merely to destroy the fallen Ghost God Futu.
The [Bearing the Essence of Fire] can even suppress the [Yin World Nether Spring], let alone this Lacquer Teeth City, which is still located at the boundary between Yin and Yang.
"Ah!"
"I'm so hot! I'm dying of heat!"
"Fire, our bodies are on fire..."
Amidst the rising and falling wails, the voices of the Yin World echoed from Lacquer Teeth City.
Those were the original inhabitants of Lacquer Teeth City, but now they have become victims of the [Bearing the Essence of Fire].
"That wretched serpent god!"
Having also noticed Lacquer Teeth City's wails, Fuyou's face once again showed a look of astonishment.
Because it wasn't just Lacquer Teeth City that was affected by the [Bearing the Essence of Fire].
The enormous vortex in the sky, formed by the convergence of Netherworld Qi, quickly dissipated along with the Udumbara Flower of the [Bearing the Essence of Fire].
"Well done!"
The enormous Azure Dragon circling in the sky let out a cry of praise.
Immediately afterwards, Divine Lord Meng Zhang turned around and pointed the huge dragon head at the isolated and helpless Fuyou.
"Whatever you intended to do, you've already failed."
"Just let this plague go, and I'll give you a quick death!"
