Chapter 1836 - Piercing the Heart (1) (1/2)
Shock, fear, cold… all these feelings were spreading inside the hearts of the northern region profound practitioners at an insane rate.
The core strength of the Northern Divine Region had swept the Eastern and Southern Divine Regions like an unstoppable storm. The Yama Ancestors and Brahma Ancestors especially were existences who surpassed a large majority of god emperors in the current world.
These people had joined together to attack one person and one person only… but not only had said person defeated the powerful Dragon Emperor of Absolute Beginning in one hit, he had scattered the Moon Eaters and the Burning Moon Divine Envoys in a single hit. One Moon Eater was even crushed with barely any resistance.
This wasn’t the outcome they had imagined when they trapped Long Bai in with them.
Everyone knew that Dragon Monarch was strong… but how could he be this powerful!?
The world darkened once more. This time, Long Bai dropped his talons atop the Yama Devils.
It was a pressure like nothing the terrified Yama Devils and Yama Ghosts had ever imagined before, much less felt with their own persons. It was like the nine heavens themselves were falling toward them.
“MOVE AWAY!”
No one tried to defend or retaliate against the attack. Everyone from the Yama Devils to the Yama Ghosts did the first thing that entered their heads, and that was to escape with all their might.
It was at this moment a new roar shook the heavens. A gigantic, azure wolf descended from the sky and dashed straight toward Long Bai. It was a smoking Caizhi swinging her Heavenly Wolf Devil Sword at Long Bai’s talons.
RUMBLE!!
Another explosion rocked the Deep Sea God Realm, and the azure wolf was shredded into pieces. Caizhi herself was knocked as far back as fifteen kilometers before she was finally able to come to a stop. Her efforts were not futile, however. The Yama forces were still scattered and wounded, but no one had died from the attack.
In the sky, Chi Wuyao narrowed her eyes to slits.
She was staring at something far scarier than his true physical form.
His Dragon God Divine Soul!
The strength of a Dragon God’s soul lay in its ability to awe its opponents. It could shatter a person’s fighting spirit and willpower instantly, turn their fear into all-encompassing terror, and even invoke a sense of compulsive submission. Whether or not the person had truly submitted to the awe, it would be incredibly difficult for them to renew their will and strength.
The Yama Ancestors and Brahma Ancestors were staggered to the point where they allowed Long Bai to escape their control without struggle.
The Moon Eaters and Yama Devils completely lost their will to resist and focused all their strength on escaping.
The Dragon Emperor of Absolute Beginning, the most affected of them all… couldn’t even unleash thirty percent of its true power. That was why it had collapsed immediately after slamming into the Dragon Monarch.
This was the power of a Dragon God’s dragon soul, and the Devil Queen knew this better than most because she had personally experienced it herself while fighting against the Crimson Destruction Dragon God. The Dragon God had been able to injure her severely even though his soul was a tattered mess at the time.
It also made her realize all over again just how amazing Yun Che was to suppress the Ash Dragon God and kill him like it was nothing… although terrifying would be a more apt descriptor.
It might very well be the reason he never feared the Dragon God Realm.
Back at the Blue Pole Star, Yun Che had crippled an entire group of god emperors with his Dragon God Divine Soul and escaped despite being only at Divine King Realm.
Yun Che’s Dragon God Divine Soul had come from the Primordial Azure Dragon himself, a being that was absolutely on a higher level than Long Bai. However, his soul energy was so weak that the awe didn’t last very long.
On the other hand, Long Bai’s Dragon God Divine Soul was no match for Yun Che’s, but it was still enough to subdue absolutely everything in his wake, not to mention that his soul energy was as vast as a boundless sea. It was impossible to estimate exactly how long the awe would last.
Chi Wuyao’s pupils slowly darkened into the deepest black.
If Shui Meiyin was around, the Divine Stainless Soul could’ve chased away the awe.
If Yun Che was around, he might even be able to turn the tables on the Dragon Monarch himself and suppress him for a short moment.
Unfortunately… neither of them was present right now.
Her Nirvana Devil Soul was a high level soul too, but its true strength lay in its ability to cripple and control a soul.
Considering the situation… it wasn’t the best use of her soul, but she had no choice but to expel the awe’s effects through level suppression and hope it was enough.
Chi Wuyao’s eyes closed slowly before opening abruptly.
A twisted devil’s shadow appeared in her widened pupils.
Eerily, the devil’s shadow appeared in everyone’s else’s pupils, minds and souls as well.
Then, Chi Wuyao whispered in a hoarse and distant voice:
“In this world, the only power deserving of your awe is the Devil Master! Long Bai is but another dragon on his kill list!”
Chi Wuyao’s voice reverberated inside their souls like a devilish gong, chased away the fear in their eyes, and reignited their faith and fighting spirit.
“Hiss… AH!”
Yan One abruptly let out an ear-piercing shriek and pounced toward Long Bai like a crazed demon.
For a few breaths, Long Bai had intimidated him and caused his hold to slacken… it was only a few breaths, but it was one of the worst humiliations he had ever suffered in his life!
Chi Wuyao’s soul voice rang again in everyone’s ears:
“Qianye, Gu Zhu, Cang Shitian, suppress him with all your power!”
“Yan One, Yan Three, Yama Emperor, Yan Wu, you’re the attackers!”
“Caizhi, tell the Dragons of Absolute Beginning to fall back for now!”
“Witches, prepare the prison!”
“Everyone else, back away and stay out of this fight!”
The orders were long, but they were transmitted instantly thanks to her soul voice.
If everyone were to attack Long Bai together, of course they would have a higher chance of slaying him before the barrier shattered.
However, the first thing Long Bai did after unleashing his true form and escaping the suppression was to attack the Moon Eaters and Yama Devils. It was obvious that he intended to take as many of them with him to the grave as possible. After some quick deliberation, Chi Wuyao ultimately decided to preserve her forces and attack Long Bai with only the level ten Divine Masters.
Yan One and Yan Three tried dashing toward the white dragon, but all they got was a faceful of tail.
The outcome of the second clash between the Dragon Monarch and the two Yama Ancestors was exactly the same as the first: Yan One and Yan Three bouncing away like a pair of balls. This time though, the two Yama Ancestors were very, very angry.
“You think you’re the only one who knows how to transform!?” Yan One damned near crushed his own teeth as he snarled. “Watch!”
“HISSHAAAHHH!!”
