Chapter 586: Centipede Transforms into Dragon, the Heavenly Dragon's Form (II)

Jing Yuheng belatedly realized and shouted, "Damn it, his target is the Fortune Golden Dragon."

The Fifth Prince raised his long spear, intending to intercept, but it was already too late.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King arrived before the Fortune Golden Dragon, bypassing Qi Ruohua, assuming its true form—a gigantic centipede that stood blocking the sky and shrouding the earth.

The land, shrouded in darkness, hid the sky from view.

Its massive body nearly covered a radius of several hundred meters; the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King opened its huge maw and directly swallowed the Fortune Golden Dragon.

Seeing this, Qi Ruohua instantly understood the Demon King's intent, blazing with fury: "Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, you seek death—this is the Fortune Golden Dragon of our Great Qi Dynasty; how could you devour it?"

"Get lost."

In an angry strike, Qi Ruohua struck with all her strength; this move carried killing intent.

A powerful killing intent surged forth; in her palm, a bright moon flickered.

"Revolve."

The moon turned, attacking the Demon King's abdomen; Mu Longhao saw this, understood the Demon King's purpose, and realized he had been schemed against—but at this moment he could neither flee nor allow Qi Ruohua to kill the Demon King.

If one of them dies, the other will also be killed.

"Damn it, damn the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, damn the bald donkey—daring to scheme against me, I'll remember you."

Enduring the pain, he thrust his hand forward, pressing his palm against Qi Ruohua's bright moon.

The moonlight was bitterly cold.

His palm was frozen solid, and then his body was frozen.

A cold aura spread out, heading toward the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King.

"Roar."

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King swallowed half of the Fortune Golden Dragon's body, causing the dragon to cry out in pain.

It struggled to break free from the Demon King's huge maw, trying to avoid being devoured.

But it could not escape; once the Demon King's maw began to devour, there was no way out.

This is the Dragon Transformation Secret Method of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, a scheme laid out long ago for this Fortune Golden Dragon; now he employs every measure he once prepared.

As the National Preceptor, he certainly didn't earn the title for nothing.

The Fortune Golden Dragon had long been in his sights; last time it was slain, he failed to complete this step.

This time, upon his return, the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King had readied everything.

"Ten Thousand Buddha Dragon Transformation Secret Method."

"Heavenly Dragon Secret Method."

"Fortune Golden Dragon, do not struggle; become part of this seat."

"I will bring you along to become a true dragon."

Whether the Fortune Golden Dragon or he, neither is a true dragon.

The Fortune Golden Dragon lacks substance, an illusory body that waxes and wanes with the dynasty.

When the dynasty falls, the Fortune Golden Dragon perishes with it.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, being a demon and a centipede, is far from achieving dragon transformation.

Combined, they can advance further.

All this is the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King's scheme—Buddha-Demon dual cultivation, using this as a foundation to devour the Fortune Golden Dragon and instantly transform into a dragon.

A true dragon is not easily attained; it requires opportunity, fortune, and bloodline.

He possesses all of these.

Having survived great calamity, future blessings await.

"Mu Longhao, get lost."

Qi Ruohua grew anxious; she could not stand by while the Fortune Golden Dragon was swallowed—this being the Great Qi Dynasty's Fortune Golden Dragon, partially devoured by the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, her cultivation faltered, for the dragon is linked to her; if the dragon is consumed, she may perish as well.

"Jing Yuheng, Fifth Brother."

"White Wolf, Azure Dragon."

Qi Ruohua was blocked; she lowered her head, waved her hand, and a bright moon appeared; within that formation, an opening emerged.

Guided by the moonlight, the four immediately emerged along its light.

Fifth Prince Qi Mingyu nodded, raised his long spear, and charged forward.

Jing Yuheng followed closely behind.

Lightning flashed, striking toward the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King.

White Wolf and Azure Dragon erupted with bloodline, becoming half-man, half-wolf, half-man, half-dragon.

Their bodies had been implanted with a portion of Monster Race bloodline, which now erupted.

Never mind the details—if the Fortune Golden Dragon is swallowed, the Great Qi Dynasty will fall.

And those of us who rely on the Great Qi Dynasty know what that signifies.

Without the dynasty's protection, they will struggle to advance and will be targeted by many forces.

"Boom—"

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King's body shuddered in pain as the four attacked; Mu Longhao could not stop them.

Dealing with just Qi Ruohua had already drained too much of his energy.

These four are not easy to handle.

"Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, it's not that I refuse to help you—I simply lack the power."

"The Great Qi Dynasty's Fortune Golden Dragon is not so easily devoured; you're just too impatient."

The Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda ascended, bathing the Demon King's body in all Buddha light.

Upon his blackened form, though demonic aura surged to the heavens, it was now mingled with the compassion of Buddha light.

That layer of Buddha light flickered, shining on everyone.

In an instant, their eyes lost everything before them, falling into a brief state of blindness.

In the distance, Zhuge Ruolan sighed: "Devouring it failed; the Fortune Golden Dragon isn't that easy to devour."

"Qi Ruohua and the others won't easily let him swallow the Fortune Golden Dragon."

Chen Chuyang laughed: "Yeah, swallowing half is enough."

Half of the Great Qi Dynasty's Fortune Golden Dragon was swallowed, and it cannot recover.

"Roar."

The Fortune Golden Dragon roared angrily and struggled wildly.

With the power of this moment, Jing Yuheng and the others, hearing that, became clear-headed and attacked again relying on sensation.

"Thunder God."

"Overlord Heaven."

"White Wolf."

"Azure Dragon."

The four of them hid nothing; at this moment they must kill the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King.

Otherwise, if the Fortune Golden Dragon is swallowed, they'll also suffer.

"Boom—"

The attack struck the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King; its huge body presented targets everywhere.

His body felt the pain; the Buddha light shattered, the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda turned, scattering layers of Buddha light.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King's mouth loosened, and the Fortune Golden Dragon immediately ran out.

Only half could escape; the remaining half was entirely swallowed by the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King.

The weakened Fortune Golden Dragon soared up, glaring angrily, utterly hating the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King.

"Roar."

The dragon's roar rose again; the Fortune Golden Dragon launched the first attack, seeking to make the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King pay with its life.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King's body shrank, bit by bit.

Having swallowed the Fortune Golden Dragon, it only needed to digest it.

It could not digest it immediately.

That terrifying power let him hold on.

"Cough cough."

His face pallid, the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King restored his benevolent, refined appearance; with the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda atop his head, he gestured, and the Demon‑Subduing Pestle appeared in his right hand. Gripping the pestle, the formation of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Ascending Heaven beneath him fulfilled its purpose and collapsed.

Buddha light and faith entered his body, repairing it.

"Amitabha, benefactors, why must you do this again?"

"This is heavenly mandate; you who defy it, be careful."

Hearing that, Qi Ruohua flew into a thunderous rage: "Screw your heavenly mandate; you swallowed half the Great Qi Dynasty's fortune—you deserve to die."

"Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, today you won't leave this place."

"Black Dragon Guard, hear my orders."

The recovered Black Dragon Guard, together with those Black Dragon Guard inside the capital, all rose into midair.

"Black Dragon Guard, present."

Besides the Black Dragon Guard, many of Qi Ruohua's people also appeared this time, all of them showing up.

"Kill him."

"Yes."
