Chapter 1168: Paulownia Begins to Bloom

The Flood Dragon twisted its dragon body, trying its best to stretch outward, dragon scales stood up one by one, but the sky-reaching pillar crossed the clouds, breaking inch by inch, layered like a mountain, combined with gray mist, suppressing it firmly.

"Little Water, the cultivation of the demon race and the human race is different. The human race cultivates inward, breaking the 'self' and 'outside'. The demon race cultivates outward, blurring the 'self' and 'outside', wrapping heaven and earth in every move.

That's why great demons and Demon Kings assimilate the environment, living nearby to catalyze treasure mines. The Flood Dragon occupied and assimilated the Dragon Palace for decades, solid as a rock. Your shuttle supernatural power will fail there, and there is the Iron-Headed Fish blocking...

"I know, so I didn't go to the Dragon Palace first, but times have changed. It didn't work before, it might not necessarily not work now!"

Blood water scattered, white steam backfilled.

A few vertical and horizontal charges, the Blood Ape turned back into a White Ape.

Jianghuai Great Marsh was ten thousand miles away, crossing half of it, using 【Water Travel a Thousand Miles】 five times. The Flood Dragon was nailed to the estuary by the water column infected by Ze Country, unable to shuttle, and had to swim frantically.

All demons in the Dragon Palace were cleared.

Under the fire tree and silver, the Iron-Headed Fish was ready, sweating profusely.

It didn't know how the White Ape did it in less than a year, from the embarrassed escape in the Huai River to being able to compete with the Flood Dragon in the Deer Cang River. The Flood Dragon didn't take down the White Ape from the Southern Frontier to Jianghuai for a long time. The Flood Dragon clone was stronger than it, and suddenly having to face it alone, the Iron-Headed Fish was a little panicked in its heart.

The White Ape flashed in perception, like a human warship sailing out of the port, the signal flag waving at the bow.

One intersection, approaching a thousand miles.

"Little Water, the Flood Dragon has shaken off the water column and is chasing."

"SHUT UP!" The White Ape's flashing figure paused, almost losing control and smashing into the riverbed, golden eyes revealing a trace of tyranny.

"Little Water..."

"No, sorry, I wasn't talking to you."

Who else could be here? The Sea-Hai Fangzhu keenly sensed that Liang Qu's state was not quite right. He was definitely not someone who would say such things. Combined with the suddenly expanding aura just now...

"Little Water, are you knocking on the Heavenly Pass? What did you knock out?"

"It's coming."

Without answering, the White Ape cut off the Sea-Hai Fangzhu. The Sea-Hai Fangzhu abandoned distracting thoughts, separated flesh and blood, and healed all the wounds on the White Ape's chest and shoulders that had been corroded by the Flood Dragon's venom.

The Iron-Headed Fish topped the water flow and rushed out, the White Ape descended from the sky.

TERRIBLE!

How can this guy shuttle even in the Dragon Palace?

The Iron-Headed Fish was shocked, associating it with the Flood Dragon's inability to do anything, only feeling that a sharp sword was hanging over its head, its edge exposed, and it screamed in its heart that its life was over, and it welcomed the White Ape's iron fist with its hard shell.

Boom!

Muffled bell ringing.

Dust rose for ten miles, the Iron-Headed Fish's head sank, smashing into the jade bricks of the square. The jade bricks on the ground didn't crack at all, but the Iron-Headed Fish shook its head, not feeling pain.

Hmm?

Nothing? Didn't use full strength? Or is the Flood Dragon clone fighting a Demon King of this level?

Lightning speed, no time to think, the Iron-Headed Fish turned back and bit, the White Ape jumped and flashed behind it, gathered a black dragon in its hand, aimed at the gap in the Iron-Headed Fish's iron armor, and slashed hard.

Fresh blood scattered.

The Iron-Headed Fish flicked its fins in pain, turned sideways to avoid, the White Ape didn't take advantage of the victory, held its palm, gathered another black dragon, and slashed at the square bricks under the fire tree and silver. A narrow crack no more than a finger wide appeared.

Can't break through!

"The Dragon Palace has not only been raised by the Flood Dragon for decades, it has also been raised by the Furnace Demon Emperor Dragon Lord for a thousand years!"

One of the few hard places in the world!

There must be other entrances for the Flood Dragon to enter and exit, to gnaw and refine the dragon pearl manifested as tree roots.

"Frog Duke!"

"I don't know, this Duke doesn't know! Frog power has its limits, that's the Dragon Lord, the Dragon Lord!" The old toad jumped up and down, pulling its long beard, extremely irritable.

The compass failed, relying entirely on self-exploration. The White Ape tried its best to spread the Ze Country, water flow turned into snakes, pouring into every corner to explore, a silent spiritual link suddenly jumped.

"Go behind the Dragon Palace jade wall?"

In the ancient village, A-Wei circled.

The Flood Dragon chased and killed the Heavenly God for the first time, it had been secretly thrown into the Dragon Palace by the fat catfish, taking the opportunity to explore the terrain of the Dragon Palace, passed through the jade wall, and there was a secret passage behind it. Unfortunately, the time was tight, and it didn't have time to enter and explore.

"GOOD!" The White Ape was overjoyed, just about to jump up and shuttle, its figure condensed again for a moment, hugged its head and roared, "SHUT UP!"

The Iron-Headed Fish was confused.

From beginning to end, it didn't say a word. Suspecting this was some kind of feint, and influenced by fighting instinct, it rushed up toward the flaw.

"Little Water!"

The Sea-Hai Fangzhu moved to the back, turned into a piece of elastic meat pad, and blocked the Iron-Headed Fish.

The surging impact force separated the 【Vortex God Armor】, and then separated the Sea-Hai Fangzhu and bombarded the body. The White Ape spat out a mouthful of blood and rolled and crawled toward the Dragon Palace. The Flood Dragon chased and attacked in anger, walked halfway, thought of something, and pointed at the Iron-Headed Fish with its dragon claws.

"YOU GO!"

"Me?"

The Flood Dragon explained angrily: "I can't use my strength when I face it!"

"?"

Blowing cowhide? You are its little daughter-in-law. Can't move and feel sour and weak?

Time was tight, knowing it was not the time to argue, the Iron-Headed Fish chased after it.

"There's nothing behind the jade wall?"

In the dark and noisy Qingwen Valley cave, the crowd was crowded, A-Wei stood on the leather box and circled.

"Just the jade wall? Rush up directly?"

The Iron-Headed Fish roared and flew over, the White Ape jumped.

The jade wall rippled, ripples expanded, swallowing both the ape and the fish.

Vision was dark.

Rushing in, the White Ape found that it had entered a pitch-black tunnel. Even if it opened the Ze Country, it couldn't break through the blockade of heaven and earth here, use 【Water Travel a Thousand Miles】. Behind it, the fishy wind was fierce, the ape crawled on all fours, shrank at will, and ran wildly.

The Flood Dragon tried to shuttle, but found that even in the home court Dragon Palace, it couldn't use it. Heaven and earth space was violently suppressed and blocked, and it had to swim and circle, following the Iron-Headed Fish into the jade wall.

The passage was extremely narrow, and it had been nurtured by the Dragon Lord for a thousand years. Excavation was extremely difficult, and it was completely for the Flood Dragon to pass through. It couldn't pass each other, and it didn't need to.

White Ape, Iron-Headed Fish, Flood Dragon.

Three Demon Kings entered the tunnel one after another, chasing each other.

The Flood Dragon was long, the dragon and snake body shapes were similar, but the Iron-Headed Fish was wider. The tunnel that could accommodate the Flood Dragon's entry and exit, the Iron-Headed Fish was sometimes stuck, watching the White Ape run farther and farther.

The Flood Dragon was impatient, raised its dragon claws, and pushed violently. The Iron-Headed Fish screamed repeatedly, the iron armor and the jade wall rubbed, the whole tunnel trembled, and jade chips fell down.

The two beasts joined forces to rush, and finally could barely see the White Ape's butt.

Orange light pierced the darkness.

Splash.

Water flow tore, the White Ape was the first monkey, suddenly jumped out of the tunnel, and landed on an oval, narrow, and flat great world, smooth and shiny, like a nest where a big snake hibernates.

The roots of the fire tree and silver hung down.

Its tree roots were extremely thick, huge, knotted and intertwined, like snakes, shaped like shrubs, blooming with soft orange, almost like firelight, the White Ape seemed to have broken into the old gentleman's gossip furnace.

"Little Water, there is no dragon pearl here." The Sea-Hai Fangzhu was worried and anxious.

This place couldn't be broken through, there was no exit, and it couldn't shuttle. The Iron-Headed Fish and Flood Dragon were chasing, coming to the wrong place, it was catching a turtle in a jar, a place of fall.

"THERE IS!" The White Ape opened its mouth, was dragged into the sea of consciousness again, its head hurt violently, forced to separate a trace of consciousness, index finger pointed upward, "The roots of the fire tree and silver are the dragon pearl! The true dragon legacy is in it, Hai Fangzhu, pull me up!"

The tunnel roared, the earth trembled, the Iron-Headed Fish poked its fish head out, its giant mouth ferocious.

Without thinking about what it meant, the Sea-Hai Fangzhu wriggled her flesh, grew a tentacle from the White Ape's back, wrapped around the tree root on her head, and dragged the White Ape into the tree root cluster.

The intertwined glowing tree roots were more than eighty percent rotten, like a bunch of beards that were never groomed, gray and lusterless, with only a few remaining intact.

Came late.

The true dragon had disappeared for more than a hundred years, the Flood Dragon had occupied it for decades, and refined it for decades.

The limit of two armors was coming in a few years.

But.

There was still food.

"I told you to shut up, shut up!"

The White Ape roared, its consciousness rushed out of the sea of consciousness again, opened its arms wide, hugged the tree roots tightly, opened its rotten-toothed big mouth, and bit down hard with its gums.

【Water Ze Essence +】

【Water Ze Essence: One Million】

The Ze Tripod trembled.

One million essence was suddenly invested, full and full.

A long drought meets sweet rain.

【Tripod Master: Liang Qu】

【Refining Ze Spirit: Water Ape Great Saint Orange Fusion Degree: 69%】

【Refining Ze Spirit: Water Ape Great Saint Orange Fusion Degree: 69.5%】

【Refining Ze Spirit: Water Ape Great Saint Orange Fusion Degree: 70%】

【Water Ape Great Saint fusion degree rose, obtained heaven and earth's spiritual bell, river favor +1】

【River governance degree: 0 River favor degree: 39.7038】

【Comprehended talent...】

Ha...

A glass of iced lemonade in the hot summer, sour and refreshing.

Liang Qu felt as if he had taken a big bite of sugarcane, the sweet juice burst out from his mouth, he sucked it in big mouthfuls, rolled his throat, and the sweet liquid kept pouring into his mouth.

The Sea-Hai Fangzhu was secretly shocked.

She really doubted Liang Qu's state. All his teeth were corroded and fell off by the venom, leaving only a mouthful of gums. There were no tooth marks on the tree roots at all. Liang Qu was not drinking tree juice, he was clearly drinking his own gum blood.

Boom!

The cave shook, the Iron-Headed Fish poked its head out more than half.

"Little Water!"

Boom, boom, boom.

Water flow rotated, light flickered, pillars 【Sky-Reaching Pillars】 rose from the ground, supporting in this square space, and there were 【Nether Sea Cage】, 【Water Dragon Lock】 trapping it, topping the Iron-Headed Fish that poked out half its head back.

The tunnel was narrow, not easy to exert force, the cave entrance was blocked, and it was difficult to break through for a while.

Behind it, the Flood Dragon pushed hard, Iron-Headed Fish blocked both ends.

"Next one!"

The Sea-Hai Fangzhu stretched out her tentacles, rolled up the second one again.

【Water Ze Essence +】

【Water Ze Essence: One Million】

"AH!" The White Ape screamed, grabbed the tentacle behind it, like a person with a high fever muttering, "The third one..."

Dragon roar resounded.

【Water Dragon Lock】 broke, 【Nether Sea Cage】 shattered, 【Sky-Reaching Pillar】 collapsed.

All obstacles were cleared, the Iron-Headed Fish rushed out of the tunnel and rushed toward the White Ape.

The White Ape shrank its body to the smallest, the Sea-Hai Fangzhu's tentacles shrank, and took Liang Qu into the tangled and messy tree roots.

The Flood Dragon swam out of the tunnel like an eel, entered the tree roots together, dragon body coiled, chasing the White Ape with the Iron-Headed Fish.

Three demons circled, but this small space was a natural refuge for the Sea-Hai Fangzhu. There was no cave or crack that the Eight-Clawed race couldn't drill into!

Occasionally there were 【Sky-Reaching Pillar】, 【Nether Sea Cage】 blocking from behind, the Sea-Hai Fangzhu pulled repeatedly, actually taking Liang Qu to successfully touch the third one.

【Water Ze Essence +】

【Water Ze Essence: One Million】

【Water Ze Essence: 13】

【Refining Ze Spirit: Water Ape Great Saint Orange Fusion Degree: 72%】

The Flood Dragon was furious.

The state of the true dragon legacy had not changed, but the White Ape's aura was soaring.

It rose once at the estuary, never stopped, touched the dragon pearl, rose again, definitely not the same kind of progress. The White Ape must have obtained some benefits from the true dragon legacy.

A completely different, faster refining method.

"WAH!"

The White Ape spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the Flood Dragon shook.

There must be a loss if there is a gain, is it refining backlash?

"QUICK! Surround it!"

Deer Cang River, the great river was turbid, blood dripping, countless dead fish floated on the water surface, Great Shamans and Martial Saints were panting, distracted by watching from the side at all times, the Mountain Dragon followed the battlefield, staying out of the matter, the Frog King leaned on the great anchor, exhausted, cracks appeared on the tortoise shell.

"Damn, did Liang kid say when it will end?" General Yuan moved left and right, bruised and swollen, "I'll resist this last time and then break up. The True Person's words count, the capacity is big enough to hold a boat, don't kill me! Old Tortoise owes a favor, kindness is first, I have to do it."

Shou Mountain monkey troop was furious, half of the wooden sticks in their hands smashed toward the dragon tortoise's head.

"Damn it, eating my food and drinking my water, Liang kid just takes a look and they run away! I'll clean you up after the fight!"

General Yuan shrank his head and scolded, the aura in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The Flood Dragon clone withdrew from the Southern Frontier battlefield, flashing north!

Great Shamans and Martial Saints moved.

The Flood Dragon joined the Iron-Headed Fish in Jianghuai, actually failed, need to recall the clone?

Clearly it fled in embarrassment at the Deer Cang River.

"CHARGE CHARGE CHARGE! Kill the Flood Dragon, repay the Emperor's intention on the golden platform, carry the jade dragon to die for the Emperor! If the Emperor's grace can be repaid, the dragon sword has male and female, Flood Dragon, today I will take half of you, take your life!"

Shou Mountain broke through the white clouds.

Tortoise claws patted, General Yuan rushed from Lin River to Deer Cang River, grabbed half a position in front of the Frog King and Tortoise King, saw the White Ape standing in the void, was stunned for a moment, then infinite thoughts appeared in his eyes, infinite melancholy, while sighing, while expressing feelings.

"Alas... the Flood Dragon is powerful, and with the Iron-Headed Fish assisting, Old Tortoise lurked in the dark, originally thinking that there was no way to avenge in this life, destined to die in depression, die with hatred.

Just saw the fire tree and silver collapse, even more tragic, missing the old Dragon Lord.

Never thought, heroic posture stands on the sky bone, galloping ten thousand miles like divine speed.

Clean up the national demon and snow the national shame, make rites and music to return to the Heavenly King.

Peng Ze General Yuan, congratulate Jianghuai on welcoming the new King, celebrate for the world, celebrate for the water race!"

Shou Mountain monkey troop ran to tell each other, cheering and jumping, jumping down from the top of the mountain, tail hooking tail, throwing out an arc, the golden-haired monkey king held fresh fruit to offer to the great ape.

General Yuan snatched it with a claw, offered it to the White Ape, feeling uneasy in his heart.

It originally thought it was the Jianghuai battle, five against two barely won, who knew that after tossing and turning, the white-haired monkey ran around, one demon beat away the Flood Dragon and Iron-Headed Fish, two of them.

Splash.

Breaking sound.

General Yuan subconsciously shrank his head, found that what flew over was a peach tree branch, with a small green snake hanging between the branches.

Wood long qi!

Good stuff.

Didn't dare to delay, the old tortoise hurried to plant it on Shou Mountain, found that the White Ape had already left.

DAMN!

A wisp of long qi sent it away? The merit of following the ape that risked life, what about the Dragon Palace treasury?

The price discussed earlier wasn't this!

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 1169 =====

Only it itself knew.

"Open the Heavenly Gate for me first; we can fight later. If you beat me to death, that's your win!"

Above the Jade Gate, a larger, stronger, and more brutal white ape had its hands and feet wrapped in iron chains. It leaned sideways, watching the white ape before it—which was breathing more than it was exhaling—crash to the ground, and picked its nostril with its index finger.

"First a Martial Saint, then open the Heavenly Gate? Where is there such a rule or such a good deal? You're dreaming!"

"Heh!" The white ape on the ground grinned. "Someone like you, do you still care about rules?"

The white ape at the Jade Gate rubbed its fingertips together and flicked away a piece of booger.

Suddenly, it bared its teeth, revealing its canines.

"Little Water! It's a Flood Dragon trap, a feint to the east to attack in the west—behind you!"

"I know!"

The white ape's golden eyes squinted; one glance rendered the Flood Dragon powerless, the other locked onto the edge of the fish tail, its five fingers spread wide like a rake.

It twisted its body, stepped aside, and rotated.

It threw a punch.

Boom!

Completely caught off guard.

The iron armor shook in unison, fresh blood seeped from the gaps, and the iron-headed fish's whites turned crimson.

It spat out saliva mixed with blood.

How is this possible...

It's completely different from the plaza...

The white ape used the force to flip backward, pushed aside the tree roots, and surged upward.

The Sea Master's flesh and blood squirmed, healing the white ape's fractured forearm.

【Refining Ze Ling: Water Ape Great Sage Orange Fusion Level: 80%】

【Water Ape Great Sage fusion level increased; received the favor of heaven and earth, River's Blessing +3.745】

The white ape felt no joy; it looked up.

Another terrifying aura crossed heaven and earth, approaching at high speed, suddenly bursting out of the tunnel.

Two Flood Dragons, turning their heads simultaneously!
