Chapter 1854 - Broken Back (1/2)

“UWAAAAAAH!”

Long Bai let out a screech of pain, but he wasn’t able to break free from Yun Che’s grasp at all. The bloody light in his eyes grew even more frenzied as the image of a blood-stained claw appeared over his left arm and launched itself towards Yun Che’s throat.

However, before that claw could even approach him, Yun Che had already kicked Long Bai in the stomach.

Pffftboooom!

Long Bai’s scorched body instantly curled up like a shrimp as he was sent flying through the air. Upon landing, he pathetically bounced off the ground more than a dozen times, like a leather ball that had been kicked away.

The power he had obtained from burning his blood essence was still abundant, but Long Bai simply lay curled up on the ground. His blank eyes were as wide as saucers, as if his soul had left his body.

Why...

I’ve already burned my blood essence, so why can’t I kill him...

Just… Why...

This is fake… It can’t be real...

It’s a nightmare… yes! All of this is a nightmare! A figment of my imagination!

I am the exalted Dragon Monarch, and he’s only a devil spawn that’s barely over thirty! The difference between us is like the difference between the sky and an ant!

Such an absurd and ridiculous thing could only happen in a nightmare!

“Long Bai, and all of your lackeys, listen up and listen good.”

Yun Che slowly walked forward as he raised his head to look at them, his voice low and deep. “In this world, there has never been such a thing as the Dragon Queen. There has only ever been Shen Xi!”

Those words caused the eyes of all the Divine Masters of the Western Region to tremble in shock. It was also at this moment that Long Bai’s head jerked up to stare at Yun Che, a terrifying bloody light shining from his eyes.

“More than three hundred thousand years ago, you, Long Bai, had your limbs crippled and eyes blinded. You were then abandoned in a wasteland and left to die! It was Shen Xi who saved your life!”

“Your rebirth and subsequent rise, your ascension from hell to heaven as you took the throne and became the strongest Dragon God in the history of the Dragon God Realm. All of these were given to you by Shen Xi!”

“Without Shen Xi, you would have died a long time ago! Not even the dust from your tattered carcass would have remained!”

“The so-called title of ‘Dragon Queen’ was merely an empty title that Shen Xi allowed so that she would not be disturbed by the rest of the world. This should have merely been a woeful repayment of your heavy debt towards her. However, you… forcefully swept her up in your fabricated fantasy!”

“Krrrk… krrrk krrrrk…” The sound of Long Bai’s teeth grinding against each other rang in the air as his eyes turned as wild and ghastly as a ghost’s.

“Long Bai, listen up.” Yun Che was slowly walking toward Long Bai. He was staring down at him from above while he lay on the ground like a cripple, as if he was using the mere power of his gaze to press Long Bai against the ground. “Shen Xi has never been any bullshit Dragon Queen! She only has two identities. The first is her original identity as Shen Xi. The second is my woman!”

Bang!

Long Bai’s fangs fractured as blood started trickling from his mouth.

Chi Wuyao’s previous words and Long Bai’s strange obsession and antagonism for Yun Che had already given the Divine Masters of the west some idea of what had happened.

Even though they had already guessed at the truth, their jaws still dropped to the ground when they heard Yun Che’s words.

The title of “Dragon Queen” had existed for more than two hundred thousand years. It had existed for longer than the reigns of generations of god emperors and it was a name that everyone in the God Realm knew of!

The beautiful story of the smitten Dragon Monarch and his queen had been passed down from generation to generation. Even the most common lower realm king had vast harems and entire crowds of concubines. However, the Dragon Monarch only took the “Dragon Queen” as his wife throughout his reign as emperor.

Dragons were lascivious by nature, this was something that all living creatures knew. However, ever since he had given Shen Xi the title of “Dragon Queen”, a period that had spanned more than two hundred thousand years, he had not once touched or even gone near another woman!

It turns out that everything had only been… a one-sided obsession on the part of the Dragon Monarch!?

And the world-renowned “Dragon Queen” Shen Xi had actually done what with Yun Che!?

It was rumored that Yun Che had stayed in the Forbidden Land of Samsara for a short year after the Profound God Convention had ended.

This…

This!!!???

Their heads started buzzing as the information overwhelmed them.

“You were originally just a toad who continued to bask in his own beautiful dreams. In fact, you were so pathetic that I took pity on you. But I never dreamed that you were actually a mad dog who would bite at his own benefactor!”

Bang!

As he shattered the last fang in his mouth, Long Bai let out an enraged howl that came from the bottom of his very soul.

“UWAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!”

Yun Che’s words were undoubtedly the most cruel and venomous blade in the world to Long Bai, no matter the time or the moment. In fact, it was a million times more cruel than destroying the Dragon God Realm in front of him.

Space swelled to the point of bursting and the light dimmed as Long Bai once again reverted to his gigantic dragon form in extreme rage.

This time, his pale white body had already been scorched black and there were countless dark and bloody grooves carved into his flesh. His aura had also become extremely chaotic and frenzied. Long Bai let out a howl of rage as he rushed toward Yun Che like a completely deranged and insane dragon.

Riiip!

Riiiip!!

Rumble——

His claw wildly tore through the air, ripping apart everything in his path, as his cries pierced the ears and the hearts of everyone present.

The stench of dragon blood in the air was turning thicker and thicker, to the point where its smell had started to make people gag.

However, although the frenzied draconic power was ripping even space itself into shreds, it could not even touch the corner of Yun Che’s robes. The chaotic dragon might that was spewing all over the place couldn’t even hurt a single hair on his head.

AOOOO——BOOOM!!

A huge burst of energy sent the heavily-injured and deranged Long Bai stumbling heavily into the ground, causing his cries to shake the air and claws to rend the ground.

Yun Che’s figure had appeared behind Long Bai’s back. His long hair danced in the air as the figure of an Ice Phoenix appeared behind him. It gave a long and loud phoenix cry as its power violently poured down on Long Bai. One Frozen End Heaven Sealing Formation after the other appeared around Long Bai’s tail, and in the blink of an eye, that gigantic tail was entirely encased in an icy-blue glow.

This icy-blue light turned into an azure divine light as the Ice Phoenix behind Yun Che morphed into the vicious-looking figure of the Heavenly Wolf. He used his own hand as a blade as the might of the Heavenly Wolf Sword Style was put on full and violent display.

Heavenly Wolf Slash!

Wild Fang!

Heavenly Star Lamentation!

Instantaneous Hell Calamity!

Azure Wolf Claw!

As the might of the first five styles of the Heavenly Wolf Sword smashed into Long Bai, thousands of cracks appeared over his frozen tail… Then, the gigantic tail suddenly shattered and dissolved into millions of icy fragments swirling in the wind.

Not a single drop of dragon blood was spilled when it happened.

A despairing dragon howl rent the air and shook the earth, but Yun Che’s figure had already landed on Long Bai’s back. His body glowed with the combination of darkness profound energy and those dreadful crimson flames as the reddish-black Devil Flames of Eternal Calamity wreathed his hands.

Chiiiii————

The Devil Flames of Eternal Calamity melted through that thick dragon hide like a hot knife through butter, opening a wound that began to eat into Long Bai’s back. Amidst Long Bai’s anguished roars and that dreadful sound of flesh and fat crackling, those devilish flames quickly ate through his back, causing the wound to grow deeper and deeper...

In the span of a few short breaths, a hole that was dozens of meters deep had been scorched into the Dragon Monarch’s back.

As he leaped into the hole, Yun Che grabbed the spine in his hands. His eyes went dark and cold as all of the power in his body wildly surged into his arms...

“HAAAAAAH!!”
