Chapter 1836 - Piercing the Heart (1) (2/2)
Yan One and Yan Three let out another ear-piercing screech. Their withered bones suddenly pierced through their skin, and black fog poured out of their backs. A moment later, both Yama Ancestors transformed into a giant, near physical devil that was at least three hundred meters tall!
Right now, their appearance was incredibly similar to the ancient Yama Devils recorded in the history books of the Northern Divine Region!
“I’ll tear you apart!!”
The howls became several times more terrifying than before. Their claws also became imbued with the destructive power of the Bone Sea Abyss.
Shred!!
Both claws struck Long Bai a third time, but instead of the usual explosion, a cacophony of screeches shrill enough to cause a heart to explode scratched against everyone’s ear drums. It was the sound of the Dragon Monarch’s flesh being shredded!
The ghastly claws entered Long Bai’s flesh from one side and came out the other. Several jets of blood gushed out of the open wounds.
The wounds were really insignificant considering how huge Long Bai was, but when was the last time his blood was exposed to the naked air? Not even Long Bai himself could remember a time like this.
There were just so, so, so few people in the world who possessed the power to make him bleed, much less anything else.
“Dragon Monarch!”
Outside the barrier, the terrified Dragon Gods attacked even harder after witnessing the impossible sight. The Deep Sea Barrier quaked and dented under their power practically every passing instant.
Long Bai’s retaliation was immediate and deadly. His white glowing tail cut a hole in space and slammed into Yan One and Yan Three hard, sending them rolling across space at an unimaginable speed.
However, the two Yama Ancestors returned even quicker and more hateful than before, pouncing toward the Dragon Monarch again.
Qianye Wugu, Qianye Bingzhu, and Gu Zhu also swooped down from above and struck Long Bai with all their power.
The Dragon Monarch’s power was peerless in the world, but even he found it difficult to endure a direct hit from the two Yama Ancestors. He abruptly descended 3 kilometers or so before glaring at the sky and roaring once more.
ROAR
The second the power pushing down on his body lessened, Long Bai immediately flew up once more and sent the three Brahma Divine Masters flying with a devastating storm of energy. Of the three, Gu Zhu turned pale and failed to stop a trickle of blood from sliding down his lip.
However, things were different this time. Thanks to Chi Wuyao’s Nirvana Devil Soul, they were able to regain their strength and mount a second attack just a couple of instants later. At the same time, Qianye Ying’er’s Divine Oracle and Caizhi’s Heavenly Wolf Devil Sword cut through the air with a sonic boom.
Five Divine Master’s worth of destructive power struck Long Bai squarely in the head.
Further below, Yan One, Yan Three, Yan Tianxiao and Yan Wu were attacking his stomach like crazy as well.
Even Cang Shitian had let out a sudden, mad cry, risen into the air, and fired a hail of sharp, blue arrows toward Long Bai’s glaring eyes.
RUMBLE!!
BUZZ
WHOOSH
SHRED!!!!!
The Dragon Monarch, the Yama Ancestors, the Brahma Ancestors, the Yama Emperor, the Devil Queen, God Emperor Shitian…
It was a battle no mortal would ever be able to see with their own eyes. It was because even the tiniest shockwave from this battle could easily destroy a star.
In fact, every instant; every fraction of a second of this battle was collapsing an unimaginable amount of space.
Again and again, the northern region profound practitioners taking cover in the Deep Sea God Realm were knocked back by the shockwaves of the battle. By the time they regained their balance, they realized that they were a couple hundred kilometers away from the center of the battlefield.
They stared blankly at the battle above their heads… they almost couldn’t believe that there existed a battle where they, powerful Divine Masters, were unqualified to participate.
Even outside the Deep Sea Barrier, a huge number of western region profound practitioners were so focused on the battle that they had forgotten to attack the barrier.
The dragon race was the greatest race of all races, and they of course possessed their own unique profound arts and profound skills. However, the stronger a dragon, the less they actually practiced them.
As for the Dragon Monarch, he almost couldn’t remember the techniques he had once engraved into his memory.
It was because both his body and his soul stood at the pinnacle of the world. Profound arts and profound skills were only burdens to him.
After all, his bloodline, his body, his power, and his soul were the strongest profound arts in the entire world.
That being said, no matter how powerful Long Bai was, there was no way he could fight off the northern region’s strongest forces all by himself.
The suppression grew worse and worse. He continued taking hits from the Brahma Divine Masters and Yama Devils. However, his draconic aura never weakened or fell into disorder in the slightest, and his retaliations were as fierce as they were deadly.
It was a testament to the Dragon Monarch’s true power. He didn’t lose even though he was suppressed for a very long time.
Outside the barrier, Long Si let out a heavy sigh before saying, “His dragon’s body and dragon’s soul far surpass ours. His dragon’s body especially may have surpassed the ‘limit’. He truly deserves to be called the Dragon Monarch.”
“Yet his dragon soul was still suppressed by the Devil Queen,” said Long Yi while looking at the black shadow in the sky. “It looks like a lot of monsters have risen during the time we were asleep.”
“It is time we act,” Long Er said.
BOOM
Another huge, deafening explosion erupted from Long Bai and sent the Yama Emperor, Qianye and more flying.
Long Bai was covered in wounds, but even the deepest one was only a meter or two deep. They hadn’t even dug deep enough to see its bones yet.
Long Bai abruptly turned around to hit the weakest Yan Wu.
Yan Tianxiao dashed toward Long Bai like a black meteor with the intent of scoring a quick hit, but the talon suddenly changed direction and pressed down on him instead.
Caught off guard, Yan Tianxiao took the full brunt of the attack. A terrifying blast of draconic energy burst through his chest and his back.
Yan Tianxiao’s features twisted into an ugly visage, and his teeth nearly shattered under the sheer force he was exerting on them. In his hatred, not only did he not bother to suppress his wounds, he channeled his full power and struck the dragon talon with everything he had.
Crack!!
It sounded as if a thousand hills were crumbling. The Dragon’s Monarch’s talon broke under the retaliatory strike, but Yan Tiaoxiao himself crashed deep into the ground while spewing blood.
“Royal father!!”
Yan Wu let out a cry of horror and rushed to her father’s aid.
After Yan Tianxiao rolled over to his back, he tapped his chest a couple of times with a finger and sealed the wound. When he looked up and saw a panicking Yan Wu flying toward him, he hit her with a gust of dark energy before shouting at her angrily, “Get him, not me!”
