The highest quality Spiritual Energy transformed into a solid point, which was then expelled from the barrel of Wang Qi's gun in the form of five-colored brilliance. This radiance was harmless to Divine Spirits. In fact, Immortal Spirit Qi was highly beneficial to any sentient being.

Under the influence of a special Law Gate, however, this specific Spiritual Energy became difficult to absorb. Consequently, there was a clear difference in absorption efficiency between parts of a biological body with high affinity for Spiritual Energy and parts with low affinity. If there were fragments of an Immortal's soul within this creature, then these fragments would rapidly grow, devouring the original soul.

"Entropy-increasing Demon, is it also a type of Immortal?"

"Or could it be that this dragon is actually a Banished Immortal?"

"No, the Enlightenment Technique would be a major buff for a Banished Immortal..."

Wang Qi had three quick thoughts. Ai Changguang had already arrived by the four people's side. Without a word, he sprinkled Sword Qi to protect all five of them. Ai Changyuan's expression lightened slightly as he looked up at the dragon, which was doing something unknown.

The Giant Dragon seemed bewildered. After the five-colored Spirit Light swept over it, it quickly converged toward the dragon's head, slightly alleviating the collapsing trend of the Mana System.

Earlier, when Wang Qi's massive drill made contact with it, massive Negative Entropy Force had surged into its body. The demon's power was temporarily suppressed. At that moment, the near-collapsing Dragon Soul finally regained a bit of its luster. The Giant Dragon's primal consciousness seemed to sense something. It had lost control of its body, but its primal consciousness could still exert a tiny influence, causing its body to use incorrect and untimely moves.

As the highest quality of Spiritual Power, namely the Immortal Spirit Qi, flowed into its body, it replaced its own Mana to be devoured by the demon, leading towards destruction. It still held a glimmer of hope as its consciousness returned to order instinctively through Negative Entropy. The moment the colored light disappeared it regained its self-awareness.

"Roar—"

The Giant Dragon let out a mournful chant. A sense of tragedy welled up spontaneously within the six people. They collectively felt a sense of being at the end of their rope. Ai Changguang couldn't help but respond with a long howl, his long sword unfolding a seven-by-seven grid of Sword Light, colliding with the second Giant Dragon. The considerable impact caused both to stagger back.

This tragedy carried the weight of despair but was not a cry of hopelessness.

The Giant Dragon churned again, "Human Demons! Listen well—"

This was not because everyone understood the Dragon Language, but because the Giant Dragon directly communicated with Spiritual Sense Transmission.

"Ao Tian, there's a change, parasitic beasts... You should know... the method of parasitic beasts..."

Entropy-increasing Demons still resided within it. It was a deep infection, beyond saving. Not all cultivators were as proficient as Wang Qi in mastering the Heavenly Entropy Technique and the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, capable of evolving a method to specifically counteract it at the last moment. Its thoughts were still in disarray. This forced it to utter critical keywords in this manner.

"Eternal True Color, Destruction of the World, be extremely cautious. Islands, temples, monkeys that escaped the mainland... There's a truth! Enter, hide!"

The Giant Dragon whirled desperately trying to control its body. Its air still carried the scent of the Evil Demon, not attracting hostility from another dragon.

Ai Changguang also perceived a hint of the situation. He likewise used Spiritual Sense Transmission in response, "Need help? Join forces?"

"I am beyond saving. Outside Dragon Abyss... Find her!"

The Giant Dragon voiced its final words, the determination in its tone chilling the hearts of the six humans.

That unknown Giant Dragon let out one last long chant, its tail sweeping across the sky, breaking off its tail swinging it with layers of starlight and heavy impacts, heavily slamming into Ai Changguang's sword qi barrier. No one expected this Giant Dragon to suddenly go mad, unguarded, the immense force flung the six afar.

In the swirling dizziness, Wang Qi saw one dragon flying towards the second dragon surrounded by the Black Flames of Entropy.

This move... this move...

Great Yan Star Path!

"Star Path" did not merely mean tracing the path of stars but signified "stellar orbits binding celestial bodies."

Gravity binds celestial bodies, allowing celestial movements and stellar tracks!

And the follow-up of this move...

A white figure from Heaven Creation flashed behind Wang Qi. Wang Qi spent precious Mana for a spatial movement. He moved to stand by Mao Zimiao, the farthest from Ai Changguang. Wu Shiqin and Ai Changyuan were behind Ai Changguang, the Primordial Spirit Master well positioned to block the next blast. Lu Qianqian was closest to Ai Changguang. Mao Zimiao, being the weakest in cultivation and furthest away, was the only one likely to perish in the final hit.

In the distance, the Giant Dragon bathed in returning light had locked the monster transformed from its kin with Star Path. Then, a world-shaking flash of light erupted.

It was Martial Arts modeled after supernovae, a forbidden move of mutual destruction.

True Sun Dao, Star Flash Abyss.

Dragon Flow Islands, sixteen small islands in total, named for their proximity to the Dragon Abyss Cold Current. Except for the last one, Long Shiliu, which was a coral island that appeared ten thousand years ago, the rest were volcanic islands, products of continental plate movements.

However, after today, there would be only fifteen islands left in Dragon Flow Islands.

Dragon Seven Island had been completely leveled within the Star Flash Abyss. The fragile plate junction cracked, magma gushed out, heating the seawater. Perhaps in a few days, a new island would emerge.

Wang Qi felt his whole body scorching hot, yet still within the "comfortable" range. A powerful force was pushing him forward. Opening his eyes, he discovered he was under the sea. His magic robe had become tattered again, his back a blurred mess of flesh and blood, continuously bleeding.

The amount of bleeding would have killed an ordinary person by now. It had to be said, the effect of Life Flame was extraordinary.

Wang Qi's right hand was precisely supporting Mao Zimiao's waist. At the last moment, he had wrapped himself and Mao Zimiao with the Cave Heaven Comparison Ruler, shifting the reference frame. The surging Spiritual Power tide couldn't cross the two reference frames to attack him. However, the duration left for Heaven Creation was only a quarter of an hour, which, in the reference system of this planet, was only a few seconds. The process of explosion-induced power release couldn't possibly last only a few seconds. The last thing Wang Qi did was to rush forward in the direction of the shock wave with Mao Zimiao and dive below the sea surface.

This move saved his life. If it had been a sharp attack like Sword Qi, the seawater wouldn't have been enough to offer protection. But the aftermath of a giant dragon's self-destruction was different. Massive amounts of seawater, the law of inertia, and planetary gravity all together counteracted the power of the explosion. By the time the shockwave reached Wang Qi, it had weakened considerably.

"All internal organs burst, including the spine, bones almost shattered..." Wang Qi surfaced, coughed twice, expelling seawater from his nostrils and lungs. He took a deep breath, "Luckily Jarvis is from Nokia, it isn't afraid of falls, and the Path Rank that auto-corrects the skeletal meridians is still working."

The recovery power of Life Flame was indeed exaggerated. Wang Qi had no choice but to create a Path Rank to properly align his body, to prevent his broken bones and misaligned meridians from healing incorrectly while he was unconscious.

"Don't forget, I also set up a Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirror," Feng Luoyi said. "I've placed a Guardian Spirit Prohibition on everyone who carries a personal calculator, which just so happens to neutralize the power of the explosion without being conspicuous."

"Thank you so much. But it seems I'm seriously injured, I even passed out from the pain," Wang Qi said as he carried Mao Zimiao on his back, using his other hand to swim. The earlier commotion might attract powerful Sea Demons, so recklessly using Mana was inadvisable. Since the unknown Dragon Clan hero had warned that something was amiss with the West Sea Dragon King, it was better to be cautious.

"As long as you have Life Flame, you won't die."

"Such a brutally simple reason... I finally understand why Chen Feng said those who possess Life Flame have no rights." Wang Qi grimaced. "Speaking of which, where are we?"

"Dragon Five Island."

"Blasted from Dragon Seven to Dragon Five, huh?" Wang Qi could only sigh. "It's good to be alive."

It was his first time being blasted several dozen miles away.

"You seem to be fated with this place," Feng Luoyi looked at Dragon Five, frowning. "Years ago, the Guardian Envoy, Chi Lianxue received a task to explore Dragon Five Island, mistakenly entered a secret realm, and lost all his lifespan."

Wang Qi remembered his own journey to pay respects to his ancestors in Dabai Village. That was his first experience in a life-and-death battle. He spoke softly, "Which means, there might be those Evil Demons inside, and in an unsealed state... Teacher Feng, what exactly are those things?"

"That's a bit complicated to explain; you should find a safe place on the island first," instructed Feng Luoyi. Then asked, "During the battle with the Dragon Clan, you seemed very familiar with their heritage, what's that about?"

"Didn't you refine the Dragon Emperor's 'Thoughts Become Reality' for me? Inside it was the Dragon Clan's heritage. 'Deep Space' and 'True Sun,' and there seems to be another called 'Divine Tribulation'..."

Feng Luoyi frowned. "Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

"To practice Dragon Clan Martial Arts, you first need a good spine that can knot, why would I study something I can't learn? Previously, I left it all to Jarvis, letting it use formulas provided by Wanfa Sect to study Breaking Techniques." Wang Qi's expression was odd. "But this seems to have a flaw, Jarvis can't understand Martial Arts True Intent; I seem to have missed something."

Martial Arts True Intent, an ambiguous concept that embodies the founders' understanding, experiences, mental state, and even emotions.

Modern practices have abandoned Martial Arts True Intents, at least those depicting various natural phenomena, so Wang Qi never paid much attention to these before. But now, he realized something was wrong.

To create Martial Arts True Intent infused with emotions, one must have experienced those emotions. A person devoid of feelings cannot grasp the True Intent of "extreme emotion leads to extreme swordsmanship." To create Martial Arts True Intents that depict natural phenomena, one must have personally witnessed such Martial Arts True Intents.

Only those who have traversed star seas and approached the sun could create True Sun and Deep Space.

The Dragon Clan was not just a creature that dominated within the gravitational sphere of Shenzhou. At least their ancestors wandered widely.

"The disaster of star space... there must be some significance to this," said Feng Luoyi. "Let's ponder it carefully once we are ashore."

After swimming several hundred meters, it took Wang Qi several hours to reach the shore. By the time he arrived onshore, it was deep into the night.

The first thing he did after landing was to pour various high-concentration amino acids and glycerol into his mouth to replenish the lost substances. While he drank three to four bottles himself, he didn't forget to pour one or two bottles into Mao Zimiao's mouth. After a while, he took off his nearly shredded magic robe, changed into clean clothes, then carrying Mao Zimiao, slowly walked along the coast. (To be continued.
