“It’s Xiao Lu’s daughter; that little girl obtained a legacy,” Bai Yuntian explained.
Hearing this, Long Qifeng’s furrowed brow relaxed, and he smiled, “I didn’t expect it, Xiao Zhi, this little one, is quite blessed.”
Lu Chenxing smiled upon hearing this. Anyway, as long as Xiao Zhi was fine, that was all that mattered.
Seeing that there was no immediate danger, Bai Yuntian asked, “What did you discover around here just now?”
“Oh, don’t even get me started. The people from the Nufeng Guild are all truly idiots.” Mentioning this, Long Qifeng couldn't stop shaking his head. “This dragon skeleton has already had a reverse summoning array set up on it, and it’s even more than halfway complete.”
“But none of the Nufeng Guild members knew about it. They even believed the Church of the Myriad Gods’ claims, saying they wanted to integrate the dragon skeleton into their guild leader’s body and so on. The funniest part is, that guild leader actually believed it.”
As he spoke, Long Qifeng sighed, “With that kind of intelligence, sigh, to believe the empty promises of the Church of the Myriad Gods, there’s really no one else like them. When the reverse summoning array activates, not even a single hair will be left for him here.”
As luck would have it, Liao Chen, who was being escorted away nearby, overheard these words. All sorts of complex emotions surged into his heart, and he couldn’t hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which startled his escorts!
“Medic! Come treat him!” The escort quickly called for someone to treat him. He couldn’t die now; they still needed him to make an example of others!
Long Qifeng, hearing the commotion, cast a curious glance over there but didn't pay it much mind. He then said to Bai Yuntian, “That’s the situation. Although I don’t know what the Church of the Myriad Gods wants with this dragon corpse, what the enemy wants to do most, we must prevent them from succeeding!”
Bai Yuntian nodded in agreement, “Yes, we’ll take this dragon corpse back later. The researchers should be quite interested in this…”
Just as the two were speaking, a sudden anomaly occurred within the secret realm!
All the blood-colored immortal stones simultaneously burst into brilliant light, and even those not yet mined underground emitted a red glow, even penetrating through the ground! And the enormous dragon skeleton now emitted a bone-white light!
Then, the dragon blood that had permeated the immortal stones was drawn out from them. The dragon skeleton also gradually pulverized in the white light, turning into white powder, and together with the dragon blood, it ascended towards Xiao Zhi in the sky!
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the dragon blood and dragon skeleton gradually enveloped Xiao Zhi, forming a red and white cocoon!
When the last bit of dragon blood and dragon bone vanished, the pile of blood-colored immortal stones turned into Waste rock, and the place where the dragon skeleton lay transformed from a mountain range into a plain!
The next moment, a deafening dragon roar echoed, and a giant, illusory dragon soul emerged from the red and white cocoon. Its gaze, filled with hatred, fixed on the cocoon below, as if it were looking at an enemy from eight generations past!
A moment later, it opened its massive maw and swallowed the cocoon below in one gulp!
At this, Bai Yuntian's gaze sharpened. Sword intent fluctuated around him, and he stared intently at the diving dragon soul, ready to strike at any moment!
As the two rapidly approached, the sword intent around Bai Yuntian grew even stronger, almost tearing through space!
Just as Bai Yuntian decided to act, a fiery, iron-like spear shadow, as if burning, rose from the red and white giant cocoon! It pierced straight towards the dragon shadow!
The moment it saw the spear shadow, the dragon shadow’s eyes immediately filled with fear. It flickered, dodging the spear shadow, and at the same time, it ascended again!
And to everyone’s surprise, the dragon shadow suddenly spoke!
“Long Qianqian! When your lifespan was nearing its end, you pursued me for billions of miles, killing me here, and even extracting my dragon blood and dragon bones, leaving them here for your Dragon Slaughtering Clan descendants to awaken!”
“But you miscalculated in every way; I am exceptionally gifted, and my dragon soul is immortal! Today, I do not seek resurrection, only to make your descendant perish before your lingering remnant!”
The spear shadow did not speak; it merely attacked relentlessly, as if only instinct remained, without conscious control.
The crowd below initially did not act rashly, but seeing the spear shadow growing fainter while the dragon soul did not similarly fade, Bai Yuntian frowned and said, “At this rate, the spear shadow is bound to lose. It seems we must intervene!”
Just as Bai Yuntian was about to make his move, Lu Chenxing paused, then quickly grabbed Bai Yuntian’s arm, “Principal Bai, wait, let me do it!”
As soon as this dragon soul appeared, he noticed that the dragon shadow in his spiritual world was flickering non-stop, seemingly a signal. It seemed that because he hadn't acted for a long time, the immortal stone sent intermittent sounds: “Absorb… refine…”
Thus, Lu Chenxing quickly held back Bai Yuntian.
Long Qifeng was startled to hear this, “Xiao Lu, don’t joke around! You are only at the early third stage now, and this dragon soul’s strength is at least mid to late fifth stage, and it’s a spiritual entity. You might not be a match!”
However, Bai Yuntian seemed to have thought of something after hearing this. He withdrew his hand, patted Lu Chenxing’s shoulder, and smiled, “Then go!”
Hearing this, Lu Chenxing immediately broke into a smile, nodded heavily, then took a few steps forward, bent his knees slightly, and with the augmentation of Yang Power and Innate One Qi, he pushed off with his legs, soaring directly into the sky!
At the same time, he used “Riding the Wind” to convert wind resistance into thrust, like a bullet, shooting straight towards the dragon soul!
“Hey!!!” Long Qifeng said anxiously, “Principal Bai, why did you let him go too! What if something happens…”
“Old Long, don’t worry, I’m here.” Bai Yuntian stared intently at Lu Chenxing. “Since he wants to go, he has his own considerations. Let’s not ask too much.”
Seeing him say this, Long Qifeng could only sigh, then fixed his eyes on Lu Chenxing’s situation, with interwoven array patterns in his eyes, to prevent any unexpected circumstances!
And Lu Chenxing, soaring upwards with the assistance of the wind, now realized that this dragon soul was truly enormous! The size difference between himself and the dragon soul was just like an ant trying to shake a tree!
The dragon soul, currently battling the spear shadow in the sky, didn't even cast a glance at Lu Chenxing, but was instead guarding against Bai Yuntian and Long Qifeng below. That feeling of disdain and arrogance made Lu Chenxing involuntarily curl his lips!
“Looking down on me? That’s just perfect!”
His figure rapidly ascended. Just before he was about to make contact with the dragon soul, the dragon soul finally glanced at this little insect, then casually swiped with a claw, seemingly certain that he would die under this single strike!
But Lu Chenxing completely ignored its movements, pointed two fingers at his glabella, and shouted, “Star Absorbing Great Art! Shifting Stars!”
Under the fabricated incantation, a massive vortex composed of transparent mental power extended from his glabella, encompassing both the dragon soul and the spear shadow within its vast range!
The two twisted and shrank within the vortex, then were smoothly absorbed into Lu Chenxing’s spiritual world!
