Chapter 3755: Bone Dragon Blocks the Way
Xiāo Qíng, however, felt that Ye Liuyun was as if he hadn't said anything.
"I've always been practicing and comprehending!"
"It's not practice, it's combat, especially a life‑and‑death battle!" Ye Liuyun corrected.
The strength of his sword intent comes from countless bloody battles that forged it.
In fact, even he hadn't expected such a strong effect this time. He merely pushed his sword intent to the limit, merging it with the sword intent emitted by the Demon Slaying Sword, causing a resonance.
The Demon Slaying Sword, now excited, chatted with Ye Liuyun: "Boss, I've become the king of ten thousand soldiers! From now on you won't need to intervene in fights; I can handle them myself!"
"…Those are all unclaimed weapons, and their spirit cores are relatively weak, which is why you can easily control them. If the opponent has a master and a realm far higher than mine, you won't be able to snatch their weapons!"
Ye Liuyun patiently explained to the Demon Slaying Sword.
The Demon Slaying Sword fell silent for a moment, thinking to itself: "So it's because the boss's strength is too weak that I was delayed!"
Although it didn't speak, it is a manifestation of Ye Liuyun's Soul, so Ye Liuyun could of course sense what it was thinking.
"…That fellow's thought does have a bit of reason! My realm is indeed a little low!"
Ye Liuyun, upon thinking this, silently stored the Demon Slaying Sword into the Space World, deciding not to let it out for now, lest it become too erratic.
"Let's go quickly; I must seize the time to raise my realm!"
Ye Liuyun's sudden remark left everyone baffled. What does raising one's realm have to do with exploration?
A huge crater appeared before the group, created just now by the weapon's blast. Around the crater lay shattered bones and debris. Only in the distance did a few withered skeletons stand dazed.
As Ye Liuyun glanced over, those withered skeletons suddenly fell apart, and the Yin Soul within fled underground as if escaping death.
Further ahead lay a plateau, like a raised mound on the planet. Both the direction indicated by the Ancient Dragon Pearl and the direction where Long Nv observed the strongest dragon qi are here.
Before they could approach, another anomaly erupted, the ground trembling, and first a Dragon Soul burst from the ground, letting out a roar.
Immediately a Golden Light pierced the soil, surged into the starry sky, looped once, and fell again. Before everyone's eyes appeared a golden spear, its front wrapped with a golden dragon.
As the ground's tremors grew more violent, the surface was ripped open by a fissure, as if something was about to burst out.
The Dragon Soul in the air let out a long howl; its massive Soul pressure made everyone's ears buzz.
Ye Liuyun understood what it was saying.
"Dragon God's forbidden realm—how the Human Race's ants dare to tread; today they shall die. As a junior of the Dragon Clan, I can grant a reprieve; retreat quickly!"
Then a rumbling sounded as a complete giant dragon skeleton burst from the ground, merging with the Dragon Soul in the sky. The bone dragon circled several times, emitting a few long howls that were deafening.
Judging by the skeleton's size, this bone dragon must have been an Ancestor Dragon in life, and a highly advanced one at that.
Just as everyone was stunned by the scene, Wàn Xīnghǎi manifested his true form and, from afar, bowed to the bone dragon.
"Senior, these are all my friends; I hope you will show mercy, and I will take them away immediately."
Wàn Xīnghǎi was not particularly fearful of such terrifying Dragon Clan pressure. He had been to this planet before; generally, powerful Dragon Souls do not trouble juniors like them.
"Hmph!" The bone dragon snorted disdainfully, then said, "Since you pleaded, I can let you go, but you must hand over the item!"
After speaking, the bone dragon stared intently at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun remained calm and asked the bone dragon, "Are you talking about the Ancient Dragon Pearl?"
"Aang!"
The bone dragon roared again, almost shaking everyone to the point of coughing up blood. Ye Liuyun's realm is the lowest; if there were no Wàn…
…the Divine Command's released Golden Light would all be injured by this bone dragon.
Even the Wàn Xīnghǎi in the sky was blown away by this sound‑wave gust. The others barely held on, but were still tossed about by the gust.
"You, a mere ant of the Human Race, dare to mention the Dragon God's Ancient Dragon Pearl!" the bone dragon roared.
"What's wrong with this bone dragon, that it can't speak properly?" Ye Liuyun was also enraged.
He also considered that these were remnants of ancient Ancestor Dragon souls. Back then the Dragon Clan didn't even regard humans. Yet they came up and attacked them, which he could not tolerate.
The Demon Slaying Sword suddenly reappeared in Ye Liuyun's hand. Facing such a powerful presence, Ye Liuyun still had to rely on it for survival.
He pointed the Demon Slaying Sword at the bone dragon and scolded, "You're just a remnant soul already slain by the Human Race and Beast Clan; what right do you have to be arrogant! You should have been completely eradicated from the start, your soul scattered!"
"Little Nine, roar back!"
After Ye Liuyun finished scolding, he immediately had the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon use a Soul‑Shaking Wave to roar back, preventing the bone dragon from launching another attack that could harm others.
The Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon ignored the opponent's strength, obeyed Ye Liuyun, instantly manifested its true form, and let out a massive roar back. Though its realm is low, its sound wave incorporates a Soul‑Shaking Wave, targeting Souls for attack.
At the same time, the Sealing Demon Tablet burst out from Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, helping suppress that Dragon Clan Yin Soul. If it were a true Soul, it couldn't be suppressed. However, this is a Yin Soul, and though this Dragon Clan Yin Soul is relatively strong, it can only serve to restrain.
At this moment, the Clone Puppet also lifted all realm suppressions, revealing the aura of the Sevenfold Cave Heaven; with both swords sheathed, she swung a fist toward the bone dragon's Dragon Head.
Against such a powerful bone dragon, the Demon Slaying Sword's effect is quite limited, perhaps unable to even cut a single bone. This bone dragon's body, after years of depletion, now far exceeds the strength of the Hédào Jìngjiè realm.
Its Soul power also matches that of the Seventh and Eighth layers of the Sevenfold Cave Heaven. For Ye Liuyun to defeat it, he must launch a Spiritual Soul Attack together with the Clone Puppet.
However, there is still a coiled‑dragon golden spear to deal with, so the Clone Puppet must first block the bone dragon.
Wàn Xīnghǎi hadn't expected the usually easy‑going Ye Liuyun to strike out at the slightest disagreement. Yet he also knew it was the Dragon Clan senior who overstepped. Since that's the Dragon Clan's temperament, he's become accustomed to it.
Now that the fight has begun, he lacks the strength to join, so he can only watch from the side. He also hopes Ye Liuyun will win, not wanting the Ancient Dragon Pearl taken by these Dragon Souls.
Long Nv threw a talisman, setting up a Defense Array so everyone could hide inside, avoiding the aftershocks of their battle.
After the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon let out a roar, it retreated into the Formation, readying the Apocalyptic Black Lotus, awaiting another strike. Yet Ye Liuyun gave it no chance. He had his eyes on the bone dragon and didn't want to cause too much destruction.
