Chapter 1522: True Immortal Dragon Elephant, Taotie Swallows Heaven (Two-in-One)

Hot.

Scorching!

Entire body crimson, flesh melting, spirit melting, only the will unyielding!

A furnace, a furnace, truly like a furnace, flames blazing.

Baoxiao roars.

Half-Immortal, Void Immortal, seventy Yao Dragons!

At this moment all become resources, chewed and swallowed by Zhang Longxiang.

Blood-red meteor reflects the Boundless Sea, turning a stretch blood-red.

Authority knots like vines, fusing with every inch of flesh, merging with every inch of spirit.

Inside the Heavenly Palace, twelve layers of phantoms stack layer upon layer, distinct levels. Now, phantoms gradually soften, gradually merge, no more layers, no more boundaries, twelve phantoms congeal into one, thoroughly exploding open.

The sole phantom swells infinitely, expands infinitely, connecting heaven and earth, standing tall between heaven and earth. As if something pours backward from heaven and earth, guided into the phantom; as if something grows inside the phantom, propping up boundaries, rushing toward each other from both directions.

The Heavenly Palace transforms, the Root Sea vastens.

Zhang Longxiang likewise feels himself swelling; he turns into a mass of airflow, vision continuously rising, like a seabed bubble compressed to ant-size by water pressure, swiftly floating up, bubble rapidly expanding amid swiftly receding pressure.

【13】 The world's "pressure" vanished.

The world's "pressure" vanished.

Before this, Zhang Longxiang had never been aware of this "pressure's" existence, let alone thought that the moment of breaking free, the instant of shedding it, would be so exhilarating.

Long trapped in a cage, once more returning to nature.

"Done?"

Far away, the Old Dragon Lord hiding in yellow sand stares wide-eyed.

Ge Zu's gaze goes straight; he senses the surging of his own authority under Three Flowers Gathered Atop, and sees Zhang Longxiang's "Stone in River" "wavering", "swelling", even forgetting to transfer injuries to Liang Qu, pupils and fingers both trembling.

Awakening Realm thirteenth stage, slaughtering the Netherworld, unprecedented speed-run Grand Position Fruit—

Baoxiao, Feilian, Juling, Yunhua, the younger generation dies first—

Everything, all of it, converges into the present.

He thoroughly understands why Liang Qu took such huge risk, dragging Zhang Longxiang down to the Netherworld once more!

Zhang Longxiang's "Stone in River" swells to the limit, explodes with a boom, no longer in heaven and earth!

At this moment, all under heaven trembles!

The Old Tusi stands up in terror.

Those three people, what on earth are they up to?

The Sweat King even more recalls the fear of being dominated by Great Li's Taizu, face pale.

"Stone in River" vanishing has always meant life or death unknown, life or death unknown means dead.

Zhang Longxiang dead?

For no reason, how could he die?

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Liang Qu laughs, laughs loudly.

Long wind howls past ears, tattered cloth strips turn to ash, he spits out mouthful of fresh blood, stretches neck, stares straight at the phantom.

"Thanks for your raised Wu Sheng! Bye-bye then!"

"Crack!"

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Pan thoroughly petrifies, loses luster, yet the world crack has already opened wide.

The phantom standing tall, wearing crown with tassels, no joy no sorrow, gazes at the tiny human figure in the void, still like an insect to be crushed with a finger.

Nostrils choke out a bit of lung fragments, viscera shards, Liang Qu mouth full of fresh blood, not a shred of fear, only joy; the only puzzlement: accustomed to Ge Zu transferring, he himself no longer swallowed harm, all pressure pushed out, now suddenly no reaction, hurts like hell, he hurriedly operates Baoxiao to devour, along the Third Immortal's finger, takes one step, thoroughly leaps out of the Dream Dynasty!

Retreat!

However, at the critical moment, the originally motionless Great Li Taizu suddenly changes move, spreads five fingers, ruthlessly reaches out.

Fingerprints in pupils turn into palm lines.

In an instant, Feilian, Shuttle Divine Ability, all unusable, the whole heaven and earth gripped in the palm, pressed down with a boom.

Bad!

Situation plunges straight down, Liang Qu startled, yet he not panicked at all, immediately shrinks Fubo, roars, backhand sweeps down, but not at the palm, at himself.

"Damn it, old shriveled calf, kept feeding this old man sugar, was guarding against you all along! Body dies first!"

Amid the loud shout, sky-full flesh and blood explodes with a boom!

Bang!

A mass of blood mist explodes in the palm.

The Third Immortal slightly startles.

"Ah! Ge Zu! Don't space out! Save my big bro! Gonna die gonna die!" Third Prince grabs Ge Zu's ear, shouting loudly.

Ge Zu immediately mobilizes authority.

Steps across, flashes body.

Among countless gaps between Yin-Yang seams, a patch of scattered flesh and blood, a severed hand ruthlessly grabbed by Ge Zu.

Dog Owl devours!

Wu Sheng vitality how tenacious, Liang Qu's vitality how tenacious? Even if instantly beaten into blood mist, still cannot count as dead! Let alone with Ge Zu's authority.

In a flash, countless scattered flesh and blood instantly reverse-roll and reattach, but in the Third Immortal's palm, the mangled flesh remains trapped, unable to escape.

Juling!

Unblock obstructions, open dangerous barriers, make mountains and rivers connected, land and water linked, turning natural moats into thoroughfares!

Feilian!

The Earl of Wind, Fei Lian, is the Dragon Sparrow; in its movement, rivers flow along their courses, clouds and waters return to their channels; where Fei Lian passes, the rivers know where it goes, the clouds and rain know where they fall, and all things know where they flow.

Between the fingers, countless fragments of flesh and blood flickered, abruptly piercing through the blockade, flying toward the severed hand!

The Third Immortal frowned, clenched his hand again, his middle finger knuckle protruding, as if pinching an eel.

The blood mist, originally rushing away, slowed once more, unexpectedly bracing against two Authorities, reversing and rolling back.

Ge Zu changed color.

At the critical moment, Zhang Longxiang moved!

He opened his eyes.

The next instant.

Zhang Longxiang appeared beside Ge Zu, taking over from Ge Zu, grasping the severed hand.

His body transformed without cease, ascended without cease, ascended again, ascended to immortality! From the moment fusion began, he had already shed the identity of a Yao Dragon, shed the limitations of a Middle Position Fruit, matching Great Position Fruit against Great Position Fruit, crucible against crucible.

He is not yet complete, and the Great Li Taizu may not be complete either!

Devouring, mad devouring.

The stagnant flesh and blood danced ethereally, turning into countless ribbons, strand by strand escaping from the Third Immortal's palm, forming a desperately struggling eel, locked in a tug-of-war with each other.

Cloud Splendor converged, the Giant Spirit and Fei Lian likewise grew along with it, and the Third Immortal found it harder and harder to maintain his grip.

"Ai, hurry, hurry, hurry!" The Third Prince urged desperately, four dragon claws grabbing Ge Zu's collar, joining in the pulling, wrestling like a crucible.

Ge Zu was fully focused, merely feeling a bit stifled and panicked.

Severed hand, severed arm, severed shoulder————more and more flesh and blood merged.

"Boom!"

The Third Immortal lost his grip.

Great masses of blood mist flew from the phantom's palm, turning into a long-flowing blood river, converging into Zhang Longxiang's hand.

Liang Qu's physical shell re-emerged.

"Return the soul again!" Ge Zu shouted sharply.

Liang Qu's eyes snapped open!

He looked up and saw the phantom, and cried out: "Fubo!"

Within the phantom's palm, a streak of golden light struggled horizontally and vertically but could not get out; the flesh and blood escaped, the spirit weapon could not be retrieved!

Zhang Longxiang understood, flashed forward, and slashed down with a single saber strike.

Alas, everything was a step too late.

The vacuum withdrew, a gale reversed and rolled back, a great hand grasped the Fubo's spirituality, retreating into the Netherworld. The originally shattered world cracks healed anew at this moment, all blood light receding into the distance along with the world's contraction.

Liang Qu hurriedly took out the third and fourth Yin-Yang Five Elements Disks, seeking nodes to smash down, but at this moment, all the Five Elements Disks uniformly turned into stones.

Can't open it!

"Damn it!" Liang Qu cursed violently.

The specialized martial art failed!

The hind-claw bug left by the Mirage Dragon, was it also repaired by the Great Li Taizu?

Liang Qu immediately burrowed into the Yellow Spring Kingdom, then from within the Yellow Spring Kingdom fused his physical body, enlarging Fubo.

The originally spirituality-rich, heart-mind-connected Fubo had thoroughly turned into a purely sharp, hard weapon, dull and lusterless.

In terms of strength, it perhaps ranked only below a Crucible Venerable Artifact, but in terms of spirituality, it was inferior to even the most basic inferior spirit weapon; self-recovery and other traits had completely vanished.

Hermaphrodite, you've done every evil deed!

"What now?" Zhang Longxiang asked.

"The Third Immortal shouldn't return for a short time, never mind the rest for now, Longxiang King, you focus on ascending!"

Liang Qu "saw" the "stones in the river" across the world swarming over, felt the root sea within him rapidly expanding through the connection below, and forcibly suppressed this mouthful of foul anger.

Opportunity.

Once in a thousand years!

He had more important things to do.

"Ge Zu, the rest is up to you!"

The tail of the voice vanished by the ear.

Ge Zu looked at the meditating Zhang Longxiang, calmed his mood, and sat in meditation on the spot.

The Northern Court Wu Sheng headed south, the Southern Frontier Great Xi headed north.

No longer just the Yao Dragon observing from the E River when Huai Wangfei was there; all Yao Dragons in the world were astonished at this moment, rushing toward the Yellow Sand River. Only Liang Qu alone went against the current southward, not merely the Wu Sheng, Great Manifestations, and Demon Kings.

Ge Zu looked up, white clouds gathering in the sky.

Crucible, crucible!

Immortal!

Awakened Realm, Great Position Fruit, sounds so simple.

But————

Reviewing the entire process of Zhang Longxiang's gestation, he again felt high-mountain admiration, gazing at the ocean in sighs.

Cannot be replicated.

Ge Zu felt a pang of melancholy; in the remaining two hundred years, did he have hope?

8,500 times root sea still expanding!

Liang Qu made a great leap flash, exceeding 108,000 li, in several breaths traversed Pingyang, exactly bumping into the northbound Yue Wang and Old Monk, the two meeting halfway as "stones in the river".

"Master, Teacher!"

"Huai Wang!" Yue Wang opened his mouth, but now he didn't know what he could ask.

But Liang Qu knew what he was going to ask: "Exactly!"

The King of Yue's pupils widened, he staggered two steps: "The Dragon Elephant King truly — "

"Yes! Oh dear, teacher, master, it's not that I don't want to, I really have no time, if you want to see, hurry to the Shahe River — " Liang Qu was in a great rush, about to leave.

"How could it fall so easily?"

"?" Liang Qu stopped in his tracks, his head spun several times without understanding the meaning, until he sensed the disappearance of the "stone in the river," "What fall, the Dragon Elephant King didn't die, he melted! You hurry over, I really have no time, we'll talk later."

The old monk and the King of Yue stood stunned in place, watching Liang Qu flash away.

"Eying! Eying! Quick quick quick!"

Liang Qu entered the courtyard, stepped over the threshold, hurriedly searched and found Long Eying, directly embraced the bewildered Long Eying, and rushed into the bedroom.

"Huh?"

Long Yao and Long Li covered their flushed faces, and the black dragon on the ground also covered its eyes.

"What's wrong? So urgent — "

Long Eying was dazed, watching Liang Qu frantically pull down his pants, completely unaware of the situation, only able to blush and follow him in undressing.

"No time to explain, hurry up! Dual cultivation first! Help you nurture your position fruit!"

Nurture position fruit? Me?

Long Eying felt dazed, Liang Qu released his true gang, instantly enveloping the entire Wang Fu, separating inside from outside.

Inner vision of the self.

The root sea expanded to nine thousand times!

Though crude, it was the only opportunity he had glimpsed in countless historical cracks!

This time, the three flowers gathering at the peak reached the true furnace of Zhang Longxiang, not the retired furnace of the Old Dragon Lord.

However, this method has a problem.

All furnaces have resistance, authority resistance, and it is likely passive; waiting for Zhang Longxiang to complete his advancement, it may not be possible to use Yunhua, and again achieve three flowers gathering at the peak on him.

The only way is during the advancement process, between the infant dragon and the furnace!

The limit of limits, the peak of peaks.

Entering Zhen Xiang requires one month of settling to be complete, the Heavenly Dragon likewise, the furnace likewise.

During this period is the best time to nurture the Taiyin, a rare opportunity. Liang Qu tightly held Long Eying's hand, while using the Heavenly Dog Solar Eclipse, digesting unparalleled power growth.

Nine thousand one, nine thousand two, nine thousand three!

Long Eying's conditions were certainly not as good as Liang Qu's past self, lacking the Horse King Pill, lacking the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, lacking the Wu Sheng Yin Yin, and even lacking the long qi of the Six Heyi, aiding growth, but she had a root sea, immensely vast, ten times Liang Qu's root sea at that time!

Most crucial.

Second Yang Yuan!

Mang Zhong, Xing Guo, Yue Shi, Ri Lun — these are the initial results division of the Yin Yang Ling Zhonggong.

Now, the fruit on Liang Qu's peach tree has long surpassed Ri Lun by unknown levels.

Though once dead and reborn by chance, regaining Yang Yuan, then receiving help from the Linchuan Immortal, improving the method, so even practicing Yin Yang Ling Zhonggong, one would not lose during dual cultivation, from then to now, there have been countless growths, worthy of being a treasure, but — use it when needed, don't let it become a family heirloom.

On the Shahe River, the Old Dragon Lord could feel his own connection and gathering causing everything to withdraw, but all its attention was on Zhang Longxiang.

"That brat — so strange?"

"Ge Zu, did you succeed?"

The Great Shun Wu Sheng arrived first, the Holy Emperor asked first.

Ge Zu bowed: "The Dragon Elephant King is already in seclusion, will emerge soon, congratulations Your Majesty, congratulations Holy Emperor, after governing the world for tens of years, on the Shahe River, finally a true immortal of the Dragon Elephant appears."

Following closely, the Su Wang's head buzzed.

Success —?

A hundred-year-old furnace?

"What's happening! Da Li counterattacked? The Dragon Elephant King already fell?"

North of the Shahe River, the Northern Court Han King moved faster into the southern borders by a step, bringing the Lion King, Wolf Lord, and a host of Martial Saints rushing desperately to the Shahe River.

"Han King, why do you conclude the disappearance of the 'stone in the river' means falling?" The Holy Emperor asked with a smile.

"Not falling — " the Han King dazed, "that is self-slaughter?"

"Hahaha!" The Holy Emperor laughed loudly to the sky.

No need to answer.

Night fell.

The Han King looked up.

The brilliant golden great sun was blocked by a black wheel, leaving only a dazzling golden rim.

Afterwards, the heavenly wolf appeared, yet different, its eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws!

Holding an owl, a taotie as well!

The Han King thought of a possibility, but his subconscious resisted thinking about it.

Sweat drenched his head, black hair stuck together.

His chest rose and fall violently, due to a thin layer of sweat, oily and shiny.

Long Eying struggled to refine the vast and unmatched essence and qi, almost difficult to the point of being unable to contain it.

Wu Sheng Yang Yuan, during which there was also the Horse King Pill, various heavenly tribulations nurturing, jun bone support, this essence and qi is a treasure, long since reached an extraordinary level, even corresponding to Taiyin, the two matching, the effect strong, possibly not inferior to the Jing Huang's whale pearl!

Already — lost purity.

Liang Qu regretted his youth.

The light on the window paper dimmed, he turned his head to look.

Formerly, the Heavenly Dog Solar Eclipse was merely an omen in one place and one prefecture around Pingyang. Now, heaven and earth can witness! Seen everywhere!

Root Sea, nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine!

Yunhua linked with the Eagle Owl, likewise driven, likewise gathered, infinitely approaching the Great Position Fruit; precisely at this moment, this gathering faintly reached a peak, the Three Flowers Gathering Atop connection becoming elusive at this instant.

Right now!

The ultimate of all things.

When Long Eying entered Zhen Xiang, she had heart fire, aided by Dragon King essence blood; her Qi Sea originally had over fifteen hundred times, upon initially entering Wu Sheng, plus the Dragon King metamorphosis, transforming the Root Sea, fully three times as vast, at this very moment, incorporated into the gathering by Liang Qu.

Three times the Root Sea, in a split second expanded to nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine!

Long Eying felt nothing at all; this moment her senses were nearly overloaded, tactile sensation completely vanished, passively circulating her cultivation method.

Afterwards, Gou Mang!

Green light wandered, vitality abounding.

Gou Mang sublimated, with the highest record in history, driving incremental growth; previously Long Eying had never stepped into the third-stage Yao Dragon, yet at this moment, she easily crossed into it.

Within the Dragon Court, flowing light converged, two illusory shadows converged in succession; simultaneously, a massive peerless essence-energy supreme treasure, for the first time found a pouring outlet, unexpectedly atop the two layers of illusory shadows, converging more flowing light, in one breath stacking out the third, fourth layers!

Yao Dragon, fifth stage!

Four metamorphoses, nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine times Root Sea, madly steaming, linking heaven and earth.

The entire Jianghuai Great Marsh was enveloped by this heaven-earth grand momentum.

The Turtle King, Frog King, Hai Fangzhu were all startled; they exhausted all imagination, yet could not imagine how this heaven-earth resonance's might was born, coming from a human.

Long Eying panted heavily; within the Dragon Court immortal island, an extremely shocking metamorphosis occurred.

A moon, more complete than Liang Qu's rising sun of yesteryear, abruptly hung up!

The Ze Ding trembled.

【Earth Stem / Xuan Ming】

【Authority: Conceal Sha】

【Attribute: Calamity】

【Obtained a wisp of Taotie Swallowing Heaven Qi; if merged with thirty thousand waters-marsh essences, gives birth to one spirit fish, function profound and strange.】 *3

【Taotie Swallowing Heaven Qi: Taotie swallows heaven, refines ten thousand calamities, feeds back the Primordial Beginning.】

Heavenly Fire Sect, disciples coming and going as usual, no "Stone in the River"; blood stone explosion only in the main hall, dozens of sixth-realm great powers died, eerily not a ripple.

"Over———— over?"

Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu had large dark patches on their chests, whole bodies soaked in cold sweat; their pupils lost focus, eyes blurred and vacant, staring at the map where a small half of the blood stone had fallen off.

Already a long time without movement.

Resolved?

Footsteps sounded behind them; the two stiffly turned their heads.

Bodhisattva Lianhua's face was pale; he took two steps into the hall; the two seemed to find a savior, immediately prostrating to ask: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, those two demon people————"

"No major hindrance remains." Bodhisattva Lianhua exhaled a breath, lowered his head to glance at the two, "You two quickly prepare, follow me to audience with Li Xian."

Audience?

The two chewed on the word, dared not neglect, dazed and muddled, completely unconscious of wiping away sweat.

Stepped out of the hall, weeds growing thick, shrubs growing horizontally; then transformed into a stretch of flat white jade platform.

Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu closely followed Bodhisattva Lianhua, stepping into the core immortal court.

Faint incense scent surged into their nostrils.

In a split second, the two froze; not only them, even Bodhisattva Lianhua was surprised.

The cauldrons floated out blood-red smoke, blurring light and shadow; atop the five red copper cauldrons, unexpectedly four had people sitting on them!

Except the fifth copper cauldron was empty.

Atop the fourth copper cauldron, the whole body entangled in black mud, undulating like worms, intermittently human form collapsing.

Atop the third copper cauldron, wearing a crown with tassels, hand gripping a black gold long spear, gently stroking the spear shaft, then eyes revealing praise, backhand thrusting it into the ground.

The second, the first————

Wu Lingxu and Fei Taiyu's minds went blank.

"A mere hundred years, the human world has changed so much.
