Chapter 335: Too Small (1/2)
Utterly terrifying might weighed down on Bing Xuan and the Gorb Demon like an iron anvil. Both of them screeched to an involuntary halt and stared at the slowly descending giant dragon claw with shock.
“Dragons!” Bing Xuan growled. “You should be good wyrms and remain holed up in your four immortal seas. How dare you set foot in the North Sea? Are you courting genocide?!”
“It’s not the dragons… not the dragons...” Petrified, the Gorb Demon looked at the claw in disbelief, his folds of lard jiggling with fear.
“Azure Dragon Divine King!!” he exclaimed when a recollection struck him. “Weren’t you sealed in the Skandha Extinction Tomb to curse the divines? Why are you here? Has the tomb broken?”
Bam!
The void shattered into pieces, torn apart by the dragon king’s suddenly rampaging power as the Gorb Demon’s words triggered his fury.
“Now’s my chance!” Noting the change in the newcomer’s emotions, the Gorb Demon’s eyes hardened with determination. His colossal body suddenly exploded, expelling countless souls in all directions.
They were the souls of everyone who’d ever been eaten by him.
Hum.
A mysterious power ignited and sacrificed them before the souls could escape. Consumption of these souls manifested a crimson force that strengthened the Gorb Demon. His power instantly reached an unfathomable height, allowing him to break open space and vanish.
Soul sacrifice!
He sacrificed all the souls he’d collected for a speedy escape. Such was his last resort and the final ace up his sleeve.
“Hahaha! I’ll remember you, Azure Dragon King. You better wash up well and wait for the day when I come eat you!”
……
The sudden turn of events left Bing Xuan dumbfounded and grappling to come to terms with the situation. He remained where he was with a blank expression.
Bam!
The Azure Dragon King’s claw knocked him into the ocean for good measure before slowly retreating back into the void.
After consuming the North Sea dragon vein, the dragon king’s injuries had recovered somewhat, and he was now able to momentarily tap into the power of an origin dao immortal. Nevertheless, he still couldn’t leave the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals, nor could he enter the minor world within the scroll.
Qing Han had had to pay a heavy price to channel the dragon king’s power. If Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t been with them, Lu Yun wouldn’t have let his friend do this.
……
“Did you recognize him?” Empress Myrtlestar approached the dragon.
“It looks to be an old acquaintance.” The Azure Dragon King laid on the ground with an impassive look on his face. “There’s something very familiar about him, but I couldn’t see through him.”
Empress Myrtlestar nodded and fell into deep thought. The Gorb Demon had just said the Skandha Extinction Tomb wasn’t merely a curse on the four cardinal divine tribes, but the entire divine race!
