Yan Wu gritted her teeth and allowed Yan Tianxiaoâs 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 Godâs bone was a feat many, many times harder than just wounding a Dragon God. Thanks to Yan Tianxiaoâs effort, Long Bai growled in pain and temporarily lost his balance.
The Heavenly Wolf howled as Caizhi changed her target. She successfully scored an impossibly heavy Wild Fang on Long Baiâs broken talon.
The heavenly wolfâs power was strength-based much like the dragon godâs power. Yun Che might not dare use too much strength in his hugs for fear of harming Caizhiâs 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 Baiâs 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.
The explosive power spun Long Baiâs 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.
The full-powered attack exploded and drilled a 3-meter wide hole in Long Baiâs 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 Baiâs open, angered eyes perfectly. Again, Long Bai wasnât able to dodge it because the profound beam followed an unpredictable trajectory and was several times faster than anything Cang Shitian had unleashed before.
âPtooey! What an amazingly despicable man!â spat Yan One and Yan Three in unison as they crawled to their feet.
âTruly shameless.â 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.
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 couldnât help but lose his mind for a not insignificant amount of time after taking a god emperorâs beam straight to the eyeballs. Furious and in pain, he couldnât maintain the same level of pressure he had been exerting upon all those who approached him and inevitably put himself in greater danger.
A golden beam erupted from behind Long Bai, and this time it pierced through Long Baiâs disrupted protective aura like paper. It slithered around the dragonâs tail and tightened like a deadly python before exploding.
The horrifying noise of flesh being compressed to the point of bursting entered everyoneâs ears. A shower of blood erupted as the Divine Oracle sank deep into the Dragon Monarchâs tail.
Although Long Bai was covered in wounds before, he was able to maintain his cool because they were mostly superficial damage that didnât matter.
Now though, he was finally faltering before the full might of the Northern Divine Regionâs 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!
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 Yingâer, not only was Divine Oracle blasted away from Long Baiâs 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 BaiâCang Shitian, Caizhi and Yan Wuâeven blacked out for an instant as they were swept away like dead leaves in a hurricane.
That wasnât 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.
The second time they attacked, the white cracks immediately widened and spread like spider webs.
âWh⌠what!?â The Sea Godsâ eyes widened so much that their eyeballs couldâve 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 Dragonsâ power level was above the Deep Sea Barrierâs.
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 didnât beat down on his attackers despite having physically and figuratively stunned all of them with the unimaginable power of a dragonâs fury. Instead, he flew straight toward Chi Wuyao.
It was because he knew that she was the heart of the entire assault!
If she hadnât canceled the aweing effects of his dragon soul again and again, he wouldnât have faltered nearly as quickly.
âWatch out Devil Queen!â 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 Baiâs 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 Baiâs sudden attack. She lashed out with her black ribbon but couldnât 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.
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.
Obviously, dispelling the dragon soulâs awe with the Nirvana Devil Soul again and again wasnât an easy task.
Cries of shock and terror appeared from every corner of the Deep Sea God Realm. If the unthinkable were to happen to the Devil Queen while the Devil Master was gone⌠they didnât even dare to imagine the consequences.
Eyes widening to the point of bleeding, Yan Tianxiao endured his wounds, forced his way through the awe and suppression of Long Baiâs roar, and charged.
Equally shocked by Chi Wuyaoâs injuries, Yan One, Yan Three and the two Brahma Ancestors charged toward Long Bai as well.
Long Bai turned around to face them. His eyes were wounded, but they still shone with a light that cowed all the living creatures in the world. The line between his body and his soul blurred for a moment, and another draconic roar pressed down on everyone.
This time, the Devil Queen wasnât around to help. The northern region devils were sure to break under his dragonâs soul.
It was at this moment Chi Wuyaoâs pupils gleamed eerily.
She had purposely taken a hit to prepare for this very moment.
The second Long Bai released his dragonâs soul, Chi Wuyao captured its outline perfectly in her pupils. The seemingly weakened Nirvana Devil Soul immediately unleashed its hidden power, shot toward Long Baiâs soul, and bit.
âROAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!â
The Crimson Destruction Dragon God hadnât been able to withstand the pain of the Nirvana Devil Soul tearing into his soul. Naturally, it was the same for Long Bai!
There was a difference, however. The Crimson Destruction Dragon God had been unable to break free because he had allowed the Nirvana Devil Soul to invade his soul domain. Still, the pain should be enough to keep the Dragon Monarch occupied for a short while.
Long Bai hurriedly withdrew his dragonâs soul, but the pain inflicted by the devil soul wouldnât disappear immediately. Just the same, he couldnât regather the draconic willpower and energy he let crumble instantly. The debilitation would only last a couple of breaths, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the Devil Queen had created.
The nine Witches who had been waiting to execute this order from the very start immediately took off to their positions.
Jie Xin, Jie Ling, Ye Li, Yao Die, Qing Ying, Lan Ting, Hua Jin, Yu Wu, and Chanyi. The nine Witches began shining like nine dreamlike butterflies with eerie black marks engraved into the space around them.
The black marks crisscrossed around Long Baiâs body. Soon, a gigantic, sealed dark profound formation came into existence around him.
When the dark profound formation took form completely, a devilâs shadow appeared inside the profound formation and let out a roar that seemed to hail from the ancient abyss.
The formation was called the Nine Tribulations Heaven Sealing Formation. It was an ancient devil formation the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor had left behind for Yun Che, which he then taught to the nine Witches.
Since the nine Witches were âcreatedâ by Chi Wuyao, their minds were interlinked, and their power came from the same origin. Most people of the current world would be hard pressed to master the ancient devil formation left behind by the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor herself, but thanks to Yun Cheâs Eternal Calamity of Darkness and the special connection between the witches, they were able to learn it in just four months.
The Nine Tribulations sealed not the body, but the power.
Long Baiâs draconic energy was somewhat chaotic due to all the damage he had taken so far, but the ancient formation also caused it to weaken at a drastic rate. After his pain faded, and his consciousness grew clearer, Long Bai discovered in astonishment that his control over his own power was slipping.
It was as if his divine powers were immobilized by countless threads.
In the end, even the white energy surrounding his body all this time had dissipated completely.
âQianye! Gu Zhu! Caizhi! Cang Shitian⌠suppress him with everything you got!â
âYan Three, Yama Emperor, Yan Wu, give all your powers to Yan One!â
The order jolted everyone into action.
The six level ten Divine MastersâQianye Wugu, Qianye Bingzhu, Gu Zhu, Qianye Yingâer, Caizhi and Cang Shitianâfired their energies into Long Baiâs unprotected body.
Without the layer of white energy, Long Baiâs terrifying physical body was only as strong as a normal Dragon Godâs. The six pillars of energy immediately bent his gigantic body like a broken twig, and the following noise sounded like cracks of thunder⌠he had to have at least broken a thousand bones at the same time.
Long Bai crashed to the ground so hard that he bounced back into the air.
While this was going on, Yan Tianxiao, Yan Three and Yan Wu were standing around Yan One and pressing their palms against his body. They poured every bit of Yama Devil energy they possessed into his profound veins.
All four people shared the same origin of power and even the same blood. Naturally, the transference of power was as smooth as it could possibly be.
The black mist surrounding Yan Oneâs body grew as thick as the infinite nightâs, and his withered arm looked filled to the point of bursting. When Long Bai bounced into the air, Yan One had been gathering his power for at least one and a half breaths.
Yan One locked his gaze on the Dragon Monarchâs stomach, his old, half-narrowed eyes gleaming with a kind of malice that could terrorize even the evil spirits of hell. He abruptly thrust his swollen right arm forward and fired a pitch black, claw-shaped energy that tore space and law itself apart straight at Long Bai.
It was a soft sound, but it was one that caused everyoneâs eyes to widen, and every heart to stop.
The white scales around the Dragon Monarchâs stomach only resisted for an instant before falling apart like cloth. The devilish claw of darkness penetrated his thirty thousand meter long body, burst out from his backâŚ
⌠and ended his legend of invincibility once and for all.
The sky turned red from dragonâs blood for an instant.
The northern region profound practitioners froze for a second⌠before feeling a rush of blood to their heads and cheering like crazy.
Unfortunately, the cheering only lasted a breath before a shattering noise chased it away completely.
The five Venerable Withered Dragons were so strong that the Deep Sea Barrier at seventy percent of its strength didnât even last fifteen minutes.
