Chapter 1704: Great Dragon Blood Nightmare Art

The sudden appearance of Li Luo caused the expressions of Zhen Linshuang and Ao Yan on the sacrificial platform to change in different ways, for in this kind of situation, his arrival was a variable.

"Li Luo, please help me hold off Ao Yan. My Dragon race owes you a favor!" Zhen Linshuang's body was surging with crimson Joyful Demonic Flame, the fire running rampant through her powerful flesh, constantly softening the physical strength she took such pride in. Even now, when she opened her mouth to speak, her usual forceful and arrogant manner was gone.

"I didn't expect Clan Leader Zhen to become so polite." Li Luo said with a teasing smile.

After all, ever since he had come to the Dragon race, he had never seen Zhen Linshuang give him so much as a pleasant look; her words and bearing were full of arrogance. But now, this arrogant Heavenly Dragon clan leader had finally been forced to start being courteous.

Zhen Linshuang was teased by Li Luo, and a flash of embarrassed annoyance crossed her beautiful eyes, but right now she still had to rely on Li Luo's help, so she could only pretend she hadn't heard.

"Li Luo, Alliance Leader, you are not a member of the Dragon race, so why come wade into these troubled waters? This fate of Zhen Linshuang is one she brought upon herself. After all, her arrogance is utterly loathsome—you have felt it yourself." Ao Yan, meanwhile, spoke with a dark expression.

Li Luo said unhurriedly, "I indeed don't much care for Clan Leader Zhen's arrogance, but Elder Ao, your collusion with the Otherworldly beings and the Guiyi Hui is even harder to accept."

Zhen Linshuang's terrible personality is terrible, but that is her own personal issue; Ao Yan's collusion with the Otherworldly beings and the Guiyi Hui, however, has crossed a great taboo.

Li Luo was unclear how much resentment Ao Yan held toward Zhen Linshuang in his heart—that was a matter between them—but right now Ao Yan's actions were not only aimed at destroying Zhen Linshuang, but would also grievously wound the entire Dragon race's vitality. This was something Li Luo could not accept, for the Dragon race was the sovereign of all beasts, and they were also an important force among the Ten Great Outer Shenzhou. If the Dragon race were damaged at this time, it would bring tremendous pressure upon the other alliances of the Ten Great Outer Shenzhou.

"So, you are determined to interfere?"

Ao Yan's face was expressionless, and a cold killing intent surged within his deep, dark pupils.

"Li Luo, you may be at the peak of Unparalleled Eighth Grade, but I'm afraid you still don't have the right to act wildly before me."

Li Luo did indeed have the astonishing feat of single-handedly fighting three Three-Crown Kings, but Ao Yan was at the peak of Three-Crown King, and with the Dragon race's formidable flesh, in terms of combat power, among the current kings of the Ten Great Outer Shenzhou, Ao Yan could absolutely be counted among the top.

As Ao Yan's voice fell, his body suddenly erupted with dark black light, and at the same time his flesh instantly swelled. Dragon scales like dark iron surged forth, and in the span of a breath, a massive black dragon, radiating towering ferocious might, appeared within the Dragon Abyss.

On the black dragon's mountain-range-like spine, savage black spikes extended outward, its ferocity fully exposed.

At this moment, the aura and majesty belonging to the peak of Three-Crown King were displayed completely and utterly.

Seeing this, a trace of worry also rose in Zhen Linshuang's beautiful eyes. Ao Yan's strength was indeed very great; Li Luo, at the peak of Unparalleled Eighth Grade, might not necessarily be able to win.

Moreover, she could also sense that the blood moon in the sky was growing ever more crimson, which meant the "Joyful Desire Demon King" was about to descend completely. If she could not dissolve the desire poison within her and recover her strength before it descended, then when that time came, the Dragon race would surely be grievously wounded by it.

Given the loathsome abilities of that "Joyful Desire Demon King," if it were fully unleashed, the entire Dragon race would be transformed into beasts that only knew frantic mating.

At the mere thought of that scene, Zhen Linshuang felt waves of chill in her heart.

However, when Li Luo saw Ao Yan reveal his dragon body and display terrifying power, his expression was quite calm. He chuckled lightly and said, "Grand Elder Ao Yan, if you were a peak Three-Crown King of some other race, I might really have to fight a bitter battle. But unfortunately, what a pity that you happen to be of the Dragon race..."

"When it comes to infighting among the Dragon race, I'm quite experienced, you know."

Li Luo extended his palm, and saw blood light gather in it, gradually forming into a black dragon puppet. The puppet looked exactly like Ao Yan's current transformed form, and countless eerie blood patterns appeared upon it.

Ao Yan's dragon pupils stared at the dragon puppet in Li Luo's hand, and his heart jolted violently, for he felt that there was a strange connection between himself and this puppet.

"This is a dragon puppet refined from my essence blood?! How did you obtain my essence blood?! No—it's from just now!" Ao Yan let out a voice of shock and fury.

A few breaths later, he recalled Zhen Linshuang's earlier strike.

Zhen Linshuang had attacked in fury, piercing through his chest. Although he had relied on the strength of his flesh to recover quickly, he had not specifically recalled the essence blood scattered around...

Clearly, Li Luo had been hidden nearby at that time, and taking advantage of his unpreparedness, had taken the scattered essence blood and refined a dragon puppet connected to him.

"Very clever."

Li Luo revealed a brilliant smile, then his body bloomed with dazzling purple-gold radiance. The next moment, his flesh transformed, and a mysterious, majestic purple-gold Heavenly Dragon appeared.

The Heavenly Dragon let out a deafening Heavenly Dragon's roar, and the might of the Heavenly Dragon poured forth, dissolving all of the dragon might emanating from Ao Yan.

"Grand Elder Ao Yan, please try this technique of mine... the Great Dragon Blood Nightmare Art."

The Heavenly Dragon that Li Luo had become let out a dragon cry. The technique he was about to perform was precisely the "Dragon Blood Nightmare Art" cultivated within the Li Li Tianwang lineage, except that the original Dragon Blood Nightmare Art was only a Spirit-Grade Marquis technique. But during his years of closed-door cultivation, Li Luo, relying on his own deductions and the strengthening of his bloodline, had long since elevated this Marquis technique to the Si Si Tianming Grade.

Therefore, Li Luo named it the "Great Dragon Blood Nightmare Art."

Li Luo extended his Heavenly Dragon's claws, and between them, vast blood light gathered, transforming into a pair of dragon shears. The shears seemed to be formed from two intertwined dragons, and a strange, eerie aura flowed across them.

This Great Dragon Blood Nightmare Art was clearly different from before.

The blood-red dragon shears savagely snipped toward the dragon puppet.

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the void itself seemed to be torn apart by the shears at this moment, and the black dragon puppet was split clean in two.

The instant the dragon puppet shattered, both the Heavenly Dragon Li Luo had become and Ao Yan violently trembled in their dragon bodies. The bloodline power of both sides surged forth, as if engaging in a special contest and slaughter.

This Dragon Blood Nightmare Art was inherently a clash of bloodlines, and it had a unique targeted effect against those who bore the Dragon race's bloodline.

This kind of confrontation placed even greater importance on the relative strength of the caster's and the cursed one's bloodlines.

Li Luo's current Heavenly Dragon bloodline was purer and vaster than before; otherwise, he would not have caused that sacred mountain in the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Mountain to resonate and offer up the "Dragon Libation."

Therefore, even though Ao Yan was a peak Three-Crown King powerhouse, Li Luo believed that this "Great Dragon Blood Nightmare Art" of his could still strip a layer of skin off his opponent.

And everything unfolded just as Li Luo had anticipated.

The clash of bloodline power yielded a result in an instant.

The massive black dragon Ao Yan had become suddenly let out a rumbling roar at this moment. Countless savage blood marks burst open across its flesh, and dragon blood immediately surged out like a tide, nearly dyeing the black dragon into a blood dragon.

A pained dragon's howl burst from Ao Yan's mouth.

At the same time, the aura of his peak Three-Crown King cultivation also plummeted at a startling speed; in just a few breaths, it had fallen to the level of an ordinary Three-Crown King.

"Li Luo!! You despicable villain!"

Ao Yan was furious to the extreme; a venomous roar erupted from his dragon maw. Clearly, Li Luo's bizarre curse technique had caught him completely off guard.

Yet Li Luo paid no heed to his fury, and instead let out a gentle laugh: "Grand Elder Ao Yan, come, now let us have a fair fight!"

As his words fell, Li Luo had already driven his Heavenly Dragon body forward. Vast Heavenly Dragon power poured out, and his purple-gold dragon claws, like an unrivaled divine weapon, tore through the void and slashed directly toward the weakened Ao Yan.

Ao Yan hurriedly rose to meet him.

The two massive dragons tore into each other, and the terrifying shockwaves of force crushed the void—it could truly be called world-shattering.

Zhen Linshuang on the sacrificial altar watched this scene, and a look of delight also rose on her beautiful face. But then, her gaze grew somewhat hazy, and her eyes gradually turned crimson as she stared fixedly at the Heavenly Dragon body Li Luo had become.

Those perfect curves, those powerful, taut muscles.

The "Joyful Demonic Flame" emanating from the flesh and blood within Zhen Linshuang's body grew even more intense at this moment, burning her with excruciating pain.

This sudden change made Zhen Linshuang's expression change drastically, and a thick shade of embarrassed fury rose in her beautiful eyes. She forced herself to lower her head, not daring to look again at that towering Heavenly Dragon radiating endless masculine might.

At the same time, she could not help but cry out in bitterness within her heart.

That bastard Li Luo, why did he reveal the Heavenly Dragon body?!

But while she was frantically suppressing the demonic flames within her body, unfamiliar words kept bubbling up unbidden from the bottom of her heart.

"His flesh body..."

"So powerfully built."
