CHAPTER 829: CHAPTER 806: ANNIHILATING THE EARTH DRAGON (3/3)
"Of course, we’re going to rescue Third Sister and Fifth Sister!" The Blue Dragon Empress responded without thinking, but upon speaking, she remembered she had just been "punished" by Zhou Heng not long ago. She quickly flashed a smile and linked her arm through Zhou Heng’s, her demeanor entirely conciliatory.
"Hahahaha!" The Red Dragon Empress laughed so hard she nearly fell over, eventually regaining her composure. "Fourth Sister, you two really are a loving couple!"
"Zhou Heng, shall we go rescue Third Sister and Fifth Sister, please?" The Blue Dragon Empress ignored the Red Dragon Empress’s teasing. Without Zhou Heng’s help, even with the three Dragon Empresses joining forces, how could they possibly rescue the other Dragon Empresses? They would only end up trapped themselves.
Zhou Heng had already decided to make a visit to the Dragon Emperor’s lair.
First, he needed to prevent the Dragon Emperor from attacking the Forty-Nine Immortal City. Secondly, he wanted to avoid Huo Tian and Hongyue crossing paths by any means necessary, to buy time so Hongyue could first ascend to the Bright Realm.
"Why do I feel like all our efforts are just setting up a harem for this guy?" The Red Dragon Empress pointed at Zhou Heng.
The Blue Dragon Empress suddenly shivered at this idea. Without a doubt, the last two Dragon Empresses had definitely been brainwashed by the Dragon Emperor. To break this secret technique, they needed Hongyue’s help. But Hongyue’s assistance came with a staggering price—lifelong enslavement!
By then, the two Dragon Empresses would also end up like the Golden Dragon Empress, becoming Zhou Heng’s servants!
Faced with a powerless, obedient, pretty girl servant, which master could resist reaching out a probing hand?
From this perspective, rescuing the last two Dragon Empresses was like escaping the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s lair! However, at least following Zhou Heng would preserve their personalities, unlike the Golden Dragon Empress, who lost herself completely, living as if dead, a mere puppet.
Worst case, she’d just have to work a bit harder, drain Zhou Heng’s energy slightly more, and keep him too occupied to trouble her sisters!
Moreover, once back at the Forty-Nine Immortal City, he had a large group of lovely wives there. Would he have any energy spare, right?
Since everyone agreed, departing to the Dragon Emperor’s lair was as certain as nails in wood.
They left the island, crossed the marshlands, and went to retrieve the star ship they had previously hidden away.
However, upon reaching the location of their hidden star ship, they discovered it was reduced to a heap of fragments.
"Those horrible bastards, unable to seize the Seven Stars Fruit, chose to destroy our ship instead. I’m furious!" The Red Dragon Empress screeched, ready to launch into a fight the moment she saw anyone else.
Zhou Heng picked up a piece of wood, examined it closely, and shook his head. "It wasn’t those people."
"It was the Earth Dragon!" The Blue Dragon Empress picked up a large chunk of the deck, clearly covered in slime. What else could be so disgusting but the Earth Dragon, which tunneled underground constantly?
Zhou Heng slightly frowned. Without the star ship, how were they to cross this vast Star Sea?
Was this Earth Dragon courting death?
"Caw caw caw, three dragon clans, one human, and... a donkey, this is your grave, you won’t be going anywhere!" Just as they discussed the Earth Dragon, it emerged in the distance, issuing a rumbling sound.
"How dare you!" The three Dragon Empresses displayed their might simultaneously. Boom, boom, boom. Three dragon images rose proudly into the sky. Especially the Golden Dragon Empress, who had reached the Six Aspects Bright Immortal level, her Dragon Might elevating her battle power instantly to the Eight Aspects Bright Immortal realm, terrifying beyond measure.
"You are many, this master will play slowly with you!" The Earth Dragon swooshed into the ground.
"Fool!" The Red Dragon Empress said languidly, extending a delicate hand. "Eldest Sister, Fourth Sister, let’s smash this continent apart and see where the Earth Dragon dares to tunnel next!"
"Agreed!" The other two Dragon Empresses nodded. This tiny Earth Dragon dared to challenge the great Dragon Clan. Just because it had "dragon" in its name didn’t mean it could relate to the Dragon Clan!
The three Dragon Empresses floated into the sky, Dragon Might unfurling, amping their battle power to the maximum!
"Go!"
The trio shouted in unison, launching their attacks.
Boom!
Gold, red, and blue beams of light burst forth, instantly plunging into the ground. Immediately, the ground emitted beams of obscure light, spreading out like a spiderweb in all directions.
Poom, poom, poom!
The already broken continent began to disintegrate, collapsing piece by piece and plummeting down.
"What are you, what are you doing?" The Earth Dragon’s voice roared with obvious tension, having only considered its underground advantage, never expecting Zhou Heng and his group would cut it off at the roots, leaving it "homeless."
"Come out!" The Blue Dragon Empress already felt unsatisfied with her fight against the Earth Dragon and roared continuously. Her heroic aura surged forth, blasting out waves of Ice Sealing Power, rendering the ground even more fragile.
Boom!
The three Dragon Empresses unleashed their full might simultaneously. The Bright Immortal Realm was the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm’s battle power. Even if not as overwhelming as the Black Sword’s original owner, whose Sword Qi ripples could shred the Immortal Realm to pieces, destroying a fragmented continent was no problem.
Previously, they hadn’t used this move because their main goal was to capture the Seven Stars Fruit. If they demolished the continent, the Seven Stars Fruit would be lost as well.
Now that they had secured the Seven Stars Fruit, what else was there to worry about?
It’s time to settle the score!
As massive layers of stone shattered one by one, the space left for the Earth Dragon dwindled until the last of the gigantic rock layers was blasted apart, forcing it to reveal its true form.
It was a colossal creature at least ten thousand feet long, its body pitch-black and covered with a sticky liquid emitting a nauseating stench. Countless small tentacles, each hundred feet tall, covered its body like a centipede’s legs.
"You are ruthless!" The Earth Dragon roared furiously, but had no intention of fighting. It immediately turned to flee, darting into the vast Star Sea.
"You want to run?" The three Dragon Empresses swiftly pursued.
In the Earthworm Territory, it reigned as the absolute king, able to not only unleash its strongest battle power but also receive certain enhancements. However, the sky did not belong to it!
Dragons soar in the sky!
Although the Azure Dragon is essentially of the water element, the Dragon Kind also reigns supreme in the skies. The three Dragon Empresses unfurled their forms and quickly caught up with the Earth Dragon, engaging in a cataclysmic battle.
This Earth Dragon was formidable, reaching the level of Six Aspects Bright Immortal. Upon unleashing its Divine Beast bloodline, its actual battle power soared to Seven Aspects Bright Immortal. Yet, the Blue Dragon Empress and the Red Dragon Empress alone possessed Seven Aspects Bright Immortal battle power, not to mention the Golden Dragon Empress, whose terrifying battle power reached Eight Aspects Bright Immortal.
The three Dragon Empresses together completely overpowered the Earth Dragon.
But while defeating a Bright Immortal is easy, killing one is not!
The Earth Dragon fought while retreating, its gigantic and slippery body capable of dissipating much of the force it absorbed, protecting its relatively delicate internal organs. Killing a Bright Immortal could only be achieved over time!
Moreover, if a Bright Immortal self-destructs their Divine Aspect, the explosive battle power unleashed is terrifying and could drag their opponent down with them!
Unless there is deep-seated hatred, Bright Immortals would never battle to the death!
But the three Dragon Empresses had no such concerns; their main goal was to trap the Earth Dragon, allowing Zhou Heng to deliver the fatal blow.
——He is the Bright Immortal Killer!
Zhou Heng gave chase; as a Sublimation Emperor, he was significantly slower than the four Bright Immortals, even though the Earth Dragon was continuously impeded by the three Dragon Empresses. The pursuit was still strenuous for him.
But he finally drew near, entering the range covered by his Divine Sense.
Buzz!
Zhou Heng extended his right hand, and a golden rune flashed in his palm, but in the next moment appeared beneath the Earth Dragon, unfolding with a thunderous roar!
The Earth Dragon’s body was exceedingly large, yet the golden rune expanded accordingly, emitting bright light in the dark universe, visible even billions of miles away.
"What is this—" the Earth Dragon cried out in horror. This power was too dreadful, penetrating directly into its body, renowned for its immensely strong defensive power, wreaking havoc!
It was a Divine Beast descendant of the earth element, with defense as its strong suit! But before this golden rune, its prideful defense could not offer the slightest protection, making it profoundly feel the threat.
"Human, don’t kill me! I am willing to submit to you!" The Earth Dragon, evidently oblivious to notions of dignity, immediately pleaded with Zhou Heng.
—— Divine Beasts are still beasts, and for most beasts, survival comes first.
"You’re so disgusting; even a ghost wouldn’t want you!" The Red Dragon Empress had already stepped aside. With the Earth Dragon now suppressed by the Five Elements Rune, she naturally could retreat with her task accomplished, and given her lazy demeanor, she withdrew faster than anyone.
Besides, this Earth Dragon reeked; who would want to approach it?
"I am a descendant of a Divine Beast; making me your mount would surely boost your prestige!" The Earth Dragon shamelessly marketed itself.
"Pah, even women in brothels have more integrity than you!" the Black Donkey hollered.
Zhou Heng had no intention of recruiting a disgustingly repulsive earthworm as a mount. With a shift in thought, the golden rune instantly unleashed its full power, launching a deadly attack on the Earth Dragon.
Boom!
The Heavenly Scripture activated, and the huge earthworm was blown to pieces, its blood and flesh scattering across the universe like raindrops.
All three Dragon Empresses were visibly shocked; they could indeed kill the Earth Dragon, but it would certainly cost one, if not two, of them serious injuries, and with bad luck, one could even be dragged down with it!
Yet, a Sublimation Emperor casually exterminated the Earth Dragon, the stark contrast making it difficult for them to accept.
"Now, how do we proceed to that False Dragon Emperor’s lair?" the Black Donkey weakly asked, welcoming this trip with all four hooves, obviously intending to seize a grand prize.
This indeed posed a great dilemma!
"Would you all like to hitch a ride?" At this moment, an elder flew over from afar, smiling at them. (To be continued.
