Chapter 1837 - Piercing the Heart (2) (1/2)

Yan Wu gritted her teeth and allowed Yan Tianxiao’s power to propel her straight toward Long Bai. She waved her hands and conjured tens of thousands of Yama Devil Spears in an instant.

Breaking a Dragon God’s bone was a feat many, many times harder than just wounding a Dragon God. Thanks to Yan Tianxiao’s effort, Long Bai growled in pain and temporarily lost his balance.

“Roar!!”

The Heavenly Wolf howled as Caizhi changed her target. She successfully scored an impossibly heavy Wild Fang on Long Bai’s broken talon.

Crack!!

The heavenly wolf’s power was strength-based much like the dragon god’s power. Yun Che might not dare use too much strength in his hugs for fear of harming Caizhi’s soft and delicate body, but the small girl really possessed enough power to shatter stars and moons.

That was how she was able to break Long Bai’s talon in half and cause a snap that sounded like the profound lightning of the nine heavens itself. Every Dragon God turned as pale as a sheet when they heard this.

“Roar!!”

The explosive power spun Long Bai’s body around. Sensing an opportunity, Yan Wu abruptly changed her stance, gathered her aura, condensed the ten thousand Yama Devil Spears into a giant shadow that was three kilometers tall, and dropped it on the center of his glabella.

It had been too long since he felt any pain, and the pain of his bones breaking finally broke through his calm facade and disrupted his aura. Moreover, he was unable to defend himself due to being off balance, so Yan Wu was able to land her giant spear perfectly.

Pssh BOOM!!

The full-powered attack exploded and drilled a 3-meter wide hole in Long Bai’s glabella. Huge droplets of blood scattered through the air and toward the ground.

At nearly the same time, a dancing Cang Shitian finally found an opportunity to land an effective attack. The blue profound energy he had been holding all this time struck Long Bai’s open, angered eyes perfectly. Again, Long Bai wasn’t able to dodge it because the profound beam followed an unpredictable trajectory and was several times faster than anything Cang Shitian had unleashed before.

“Ptooey! What an amazingly despicable man!” spat Yan One and Yan Three in unison as they crawled to their feet.

“Truly shameless.” Even Yan Tianxiao was facepalming with one hand while suppressing his wounds with the other. Stabbing an opponent in the eyes was a technique even the lowest commoner found despicable, and this guy was a god damn god emperor.

“Hiss… roar!!”

That being said, it was very effective.

The eyes were one of the weakest parts of any living creature, and the dragons were not an exception to this rule. Even the Dragon Monarch couldn’t help but lose his mind for a not insignificant amount of time after taking a god emperor’s beam straight to the eyeballs. Furious and in pain, he couldn’t maintain the same level of pressure he had been exerting upon all those who approached him and inevitably put himself in greater danger.

Shred!!

A golden beam erupted from behind Long Bai, and this time it pierced through Long Bai’s disrupted protective aura like paper. It slithered around the dragon’s tail and tightened like a deadly python before exploding.

The horrifying noise of flesh being compressed to the point of bursting entered everyone’s ears. A shower of blood erupted as the Divine Oracle sank deep into the Dragon Monarch’s tail.

Although Long Bai was covered in wounds before, he was able to maintain his cool because they were mostly superficial damage that didn’t matter.

Now though, he was finally faltering before the full might of the Northern Divine Region’s best.

He was angry, well and truly angry.

If you lived in the God Realm, you would know that you should never, ever make a dragon angry!

ROAR!!!!!!

The fury and power behind this roar was almost twice as strong as the previous one. It caused the approaching Yan One, Yan Three, Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu to lose their strength instantly.

As for Qianye Ying’er, not only was Divine Oracle blasted away from Long Bai’s tail, the sheer amount of force that was transmitted through the weapon was powerful enough to bloody her hand and make her lose her grip.

The closest people to Long Bai—Cang Shitian, Caizhi and Yan Wu—even blacked out for an instant as they were swept away like dead leaves in a hurricane.

BOOM

That wasn’t the only terrible news. A deafening explosion had resounded from the Deep Sea Barrier.

It was the five Venerable Withered Dragons finally joining the rescue effort.

The five dragons had fired their draconic energy from several kilometers away, and they were all aiming at the same point. When the energies converged, the resulting explosion was so powerful that it left a shockingly huge depression and many tiny cracks on the Deep Sea Barrier.

BOOM!!!

The second time they attacked, the white cracks immediately widened and spread like spider webs.

“Wh… what!?” The Sea Gods’ eyes widened so much that their eyeballs could’ve fallen out of their sockets.

When it came to breaching a barrier, the quality of power mattered far more than the quantity of power.

For example, on the day the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor had left the Primal Chaos, Jasmine had been able to wipe out the crimson crack on the Wall of Primal Chaos much faster than all the god emperors combined.

This meant that the five Venerable Withered Dragons’ power level was above the Deep Sea Barrier’s.

Not only that, they shared the same style and origin of power. Their combined energies produced a synergistic effect that was absolutely deadly to the Deep Sea Barrier.

On the other side of the barrier, Long Bai didn’t beat down on his attackers despite having physically and figuratively stunned all of them with the unimaginable power of a dragon’s fury. Instead, he flew straight toward Chi Wuyao.

It was because he knew that she was the heart of the entire assault!

If she hadn’t canceled the aweing effects of his dragon soul again and again, he wouldn’t have faltered nearly as quickly.

“Watch out Devil Queen!” Yan Tianxiao shouted.

Chi Wuyao currently had her eyes closed, and the shadow above her head was swaying unsteadily. She was just getting ready to expel Long Bai’s unnaturally powerful awe by force.

However, because she was fully focused on controlling the Nirvana Devil Soul at the time, she was slow to react to Long Bai’s sudden attack. She lashed out with her black ribbon but couldn’t unleash even half of her normal strength. As a result, the attack bounced away, and she took a blast of draconic energy straight to the body.

Pwack!

More than half of the black mist surrounding Chi Wuyao crumbled into nothing. The amount of blood that burst out of her lips was absolutely terrifying.

Her aura also fell into incredible disorder.
