A white spine was yanked out by Zhu Long, a spine that stretched thirty feet long, Zhu Long's own spine, his dragon bone, his life-bound weapon that perfectly matched his bloodline. However, after being possessed by the leader of the Void Demons, his bloodline was suppressed, and he had never wielded this weapon.
Now, he could no longer afford to care. He pulled out the spine, transforming it into a battle saber. Ming could tell that the moment Zhu Long gripped the saber, his palm suffered a severe backlash. This was not his weapon; it was Zhu Long's. How could he not know? But he was at his wit's end. He could only grip the saber and charge out.
"Boom!"
A dragon's roar seemed to echo in the void. Immediately after, a divine sun rose from within the void, its blinding light illuminating the entire chaotic world. Zhu Long's face was pale, blood flowing profusely from his eyes. With one eye open, the divine sun's light shone everywhere; with one eye closed, the void within a thousand miles froze, chilling to the bone.
"He must have used Zhu Long's power. This power doesn't belong to the Void Demons. It seems he's out of options and is forced to use Zhu Long's bloodline power!"
"Generals, strike now! Slay Zhu Long, this is the moment!"
Xiong Kuo Hai, wielding his two heavy axes, struck the spine battle saber. The impact was earth-shattering, accompanied by a mournful dragon's cry. A piece of white bone was directly knocked off.
Seeing the spine battle saber damaged, Zhu Long was filled with terror. His own weapon had been destroyed, forcing him to use Zhu Long's spine. This was Zhu Long's spine, perhaps the hardest part of his entire body, yet Xiong Kuo Hai had shattered a piece of it.
The human race was truly terrifying!!
"Kill!"
Wu Yun Zhao and Wu Tian Xi, the two brothers, attacked simultaneously. Divine weapons descended. Zhu Long, gripping the spine battle saber, met their onslaught. The terrifying impact shattered hundreds of layers of space, causing the faces of Zhu Long, Wu Yun Zhao, and Wu Tian Xi to contort violently, as if their very chins were about to detach. Crackling sounds echoed as several clear cracks appeared on the spine battle saber. The dragon's energy dissipated, and the battle intent on the saber vanished.
"Kill!"
Shan Shi Tuo spread his arms, a gilded halberd in his grasp, like the Thunder God descending. He delivered the final blow. Instantly, the spine battle saber erupted with boundless golden light and shattered, scattering across the ground. This devastating strike sent Shan Shi Tuo flying millions of miles away. Zhu Long was smashed into the spatial turbulence, his entire body covered in blood, lying battered within the spatial currents, his arms a bloody mess. Su Dan Novel Network.
Looking at the five people who were also weakened, Zhu Long's eyes filled with a glimmer of joy. He spat out a mouthful of congealed blood and struggled to his feet. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiong Kuo Hai's battle axe descend from the sky.
The terrifying axe light, imbued with the divine might of the Gluttonous Beast, struck deep into Zhu Long's right shoulder. Divine blood splattered, countless bones snapped, and many bones broke through his flesh, jutting out like sharp blades.
"Ah..."
Severely wounded, Zhu Long cried out. He retaliated with a palm strike to Xiong Kuo Hai's chest, temporarily pushing back the aggressive Purple-Faced Heavenly King.
At this moment, Zhu Long trembled all over, the battle spirit in his eyes extinguished, his killing intent vanished, and even fear and a desire to retreat began to surface. He cautiously scanned his surroundings, searching for any possibility of escape.
"Today, my Void Demon tribe admits defeat!"
"Spare me, and I can take you to the Immortal Realm. The Emperor's Mandate of this realm has been taken. Without the Emperor's Mandate, the Tree of Heaven has lost its function. Without me, you cannot reach the Immortal Realm. In this plane, only I can lead you into the Immortal Realm, become immortals, and seek the Great Dao!" Zhu Long said, looking at the five.
"The Immortal Realm alone? How can we not go there."
Wu Tian Xi's disdainful voice reached Zhu Long's ears.
"Impossible! Ye Xuan has already obtained the Emperor's Mandate of this realm. Without the Emperor's Mandate, low-level planes are cut off from the passage to the Immortal Realm. How could you possibly reach the Immortal Realm? This is impossible!" Zhu Long wailed weakly, disbelieving. This was his last bargaining chip.
"There is nothing impossible. What is the Immortal Realm? We can reach it within a day!"
"Zhu Long, your era ends today!"
"Uphold the Great Han National Law!"
The five attacked in unison. The terrifying confluence of killing intent descended, dimming Zhu Long's eyes. His lips still trembled. He refused to believe they could find another path to the Immortal Realm; it was utterly impossible. They were lying to him, provoking him.
"I am not reconciled!"
"Ye Xuan! I will not let you off!!"
Zhu Long roared to the heavens, but he was incredibly weak. He used all his remaining strength to shriek, but his voice was drowned out by the rumbling sounds from the void.
Zhu Long's flesh and blood rapidly dissolved, like ice melting under a scorching sun, transforming into streams of blood that dissipated. Beneath his broken skeletal frame, a beating, dark red heart remained.
The Nascent Soul of the Void Demon leader emerged from Zhu Long's skeleton. Facing the terrifying onslaught that rushed towards him, he was powerless and was immediately engulfed.
At this moment, the figures of Xiong Kuo Hai and the other four were revealed. They were all depleted of divine power, their auras fluctuating wildly. Each gasped for breath, their chests heaving. This battle had been perilous. If not for the Immortal Lord's hidden plan that had severely wounded Zhu Long's true body, the outcome of today's battle would have been uncertain.
"Zhu Long is dead. The Three Thousand Dao Provinces are pacified!"
A simple statement brought immense relief to the five. They all sat cross-legged, consuming a large quantity of pills to begin their recovery.
However, just as the Nascent Soul of the Void Demon leader dissipated, in a world within the Immortal Realm, a figure shrouded in rolling demonic energy furiously opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "This useless clone, hmph, Ye Xuan, I lost this game of chess!"
"Immortal Emperor! The clone token to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces has shattered!" A black-robed man emerged and bowed.
"I am aware of this. You will travel to the Seven Star Realm Domain and offer congratulations to Ye Xuan. Tell him that I, the Void Demon, congratulate the Seven Star Immortal Emperor on obtaining the Emperor's Mandate again!"
The figure's voice was filled with killing intent.
"Yes, Immortal Emperor!"
"Your subordinate will depart for the Seven Star Realm Domain immediately!" The man respectfully rose, his brow furrowed. He glanced at the blurry figure, then left the hall. Looking at the distant demonic figure, he sighed softly, "Alas! Trouble is brewing again. This trip to the Seven Star Realm Domain might not be easy to escape from, but the Immortal Emperor's command cannot be defied. Alas!"
"Bang!"
Within the Seven Star Realm Domain of the Immortal Realm, a man clad in a white robe adorned with seven connected stars opened his eyes. Before him, a token lay shattered. He smiled slightly, "Void Immortal Emperor, this game of chess, I have won!"
The man turned around. He was none other than the Immortal Lord, Ye Xuan.
