Chapter 678: The Great Battle of the Golden Blade Gorge

A dragon claw reached out, and the entire sea area exploded. In a single exchange, Yu Lingxiao's coolness lasted less than ten seconds before he hugged the Mountain-Driving Whip and fled in a sorry state.

The divine mountain beneath his feet was shattered by Ao Cang's physical body. Had he not used the Mountain-Driving Whip to strike a blow, he would likely have been blasted into a cloud of blood mist. Yet, under the joint assault of several Loose Immortals and Ao Cang, Yu Lingxiao was covered in blood; a bloody hole had been pierced through his chest by a stream of black water, and his back was covered in scorched marks blasted by thunder.

Master Xuan Xiao had only just gathered that patch of starry sky when he saw this scene; he could only stare blankly, sighing in lament. Taking advantage of the fact that the other changes in the Profound Water Array had been crippled, he stirred the heavenly stars, constantly shifting and fleeing within the array.

Yun Lang, piloting the Qiongxiao Palace, was targeted by the Dragon Prince!

Boom!

The Dragon Prince condensed a black light in his hand, purely using the dragon body's ability to control water, and manipulated a stream of black water beside him to blast against the Qiongxiao Palace. The Yungong's seals trembled, pierced by the black water, leaving a massive scar; many pavilions, towers, and spirit herb gardens were shattered!

This stream of black water was the condensed demonic qi of a million demon soldiers, and its magic power was terrifying to the extreme; a single strike broke the Qiongxiao Palace.

The Dragon Prince looked at the palace in the clouds and sneered, "Hand over the treasure, and I shall spare your life! My dragon race is well-suited to riding the clouds and mist, and we are truly fit to dwell in this Yungong. You ant-like humans, how could you be worthy of possessing such a treasure?"

"I shall dwell in this Yungong, hold your human race's most beautiful Fan Xiruo in my arms, and trample upon everything you hold dear!"

The Soul Transformation Elder in the Qiongxiao Palace finally made a move. He used his own magic power to raise the Yungong, intending to flee outside the array, but an old dragon suddenly intercepted him. It casually struck out a stream of Profound Underworld True Water, freezing the Qiongxiao Palace, and then broke through the palace gates with its terrifying physical body.

Yun Lang stood in the Qiongxiao Palace, his body trembling slightly.

The Soul Transformation Elder of the Qiongxiao Palace had a patch of auspicious clouds fly out from behind his head, supporting the Qiongxiao Palace and shattering the ice seal.

But by this time, the Dragon Prince had already killed his way over. Yun Lang let out a shrill scream, raised the auspicious clouds, and simultaneously manipulated the Qiongxiao Palace array, sweeping the crowd of cultivators hiding within out of the palace and throwing them toward the Dragon Prince.

Those overseas cultivators who had been bitterly providing magic power for this treasure in the Qiongxiao Palace were suddenly betrayed by Yun Lang. Seeing the Dragon Prince, whose magic power was peerless and who possessed the might of a Soul Transformation expert in every move under the support of the array, they were all filled with utter despair. One white-haired elder pushed back the crown on his head and laughed loudly, "Everyone, the Qiongxiao Palace is heartless, but we cannot be unrighteous. Let us cast aside these bodies and prove the righteousness in our hearts!"

Having said this, he sent his Nascent Soul out and flew toward the Dragon Prince!

Accompanied by a surge of tyrannical magic power, he actually self-detonated his Nascent Soul, just to hinder the Dragon Prince for a moment.

The crowd of cultivators present actually all began to laugh as well, one after another rushing toward the Dragon Prince. Dozens of Golden Core and Nascent Soul self-detonations actually blasted the Dragon Prince until he was covered in wounds...

Jin Xizi's Iron Tower was constantly blasted apart by the Dragon Prince Ao Geng. It was as if he were deliberately toying with Jin Xizi, constantly slapping out a palm to shatter a layer of the Iron Tower, then watching as Jin Xizi's body cracked, suppressing his own injuries with seals, while under the attacks, he tried to rescue the magic treasures that flew out as the Iron Tower collapsed.

These magic treasures all held the spiritual senses of the overseas cultivators. They had long since abandoned their physical bodies when Ao Cang appeared, pouring their magic power and spiritual senses into each magic treasure, merging with the Iron Tower to assist Jin Xizi in greatly increasing the tower's might as they struggled to flee.

Some of these magic treasures were smashed by Ao Geng, while others were snatched back by Jin Xizi...

Seeing that jade whisk broken into two pieces in Ao Geng's hand, Jin Xizi couldn't help but cry out, "Fellow Daoists, I have failed you!"

Ao Geng wore a cruel smile, constantly smashing these magic treasures in front of Jin Xizi, as if it were a game.

At this moment, a star scroll swept him up and threw him dozens of miles away. A figure suddenly appeared from the void, turning into a clear breeze that wrapped around Jin Xizi, and then they disappeared from the spot together. It was Master Xuan Xiao who had stepped in to block Ao Geng for an instant, and then Wen Wenzi had acted to save him with an immortal talisman.

Wen Wenzi supported Jin Xizi and arrived within the Profound Water Array. Here, tens of thousands of demon soldiers were lined up neatly, and beneath the soaring demonic qi, a red lotus bloomed!

Looking closer, on the bodies and in the eyes of those demon soldiers, a tiny red lotus bloomed; they had been planted with the Red Lotus Great Curse by Elder Zu An.

Elder Zu An watched Ao Geng, who had lost Jin Xizi, his face twisted, roaring at the sky, and suddenly spoke to Master Xuan Xiao beside him, "Fellow Daoist, can you send me into his mouth?"

Master Xuan Xiao was startled, then said, "We were all able to hide here thanks to your curse, Fellow Daoist. You might have a curse to secretly harm this dragon, but the situation is already lost, and the state of affairs is crumbling. Even if we kill this dragon, it will be of no use. Why take such a great risk?"

Jin Xizi climbed up and said coldly, "Let me go! You plant the curse on me, and let me curse this dragon to death!"

Elder Zu An shook his head, "It is precisely because the situation is lost that we hide here, able to conceal ourselves for a time under the cover of the demon soldiers' aura. But when the dragon race achieves total victory and reorganizes the demon soldiers, we will absolutely not be able to hide. Therefore, we must consider a way to escape as soon as possible. I will enter his mouth and cast a forbidden curse of my sect; perhaps I can control this dragon and let us quietly hide in its belly, seeking an opportunity to flee!"

Master Xuan Xiao and Feng Wenzi looked at each other; at this point, they could only agree to Elder Zu An's risk. The star array map turned, sending a red lotus into Ao Geng's mouth, which he swallowed without blinking, revealing a cruel smile.

Inside Ao Geng's belly, Elder Zu An raised the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon Curse!

The overseas cultivators fought to the death, self-detonating. Looking at his own dragon body, which had been blasted into a bloody mess, the Dragon Prince roared in anger, "A group of ants! Even if you all fight to the death, what can you do to me?"

He unleashed the True Long Zhao, the dragon claw entwined with black water, transforming into dozens of miles in size, and fiercely scooped into the array, grabbing the Sea-Rolling Wheel controlled by True Person Liu Ding. Accompanied by the malevolent qi flowing from the dragon's eyes, True Person Liu Ding and dozens of overseas cultivators within the Sea-Rolling Wheel spat blood, suddenly looked at each other, and collectively poured their magic power into the Sea-Rolling Wheel, actually intending to shatter this treasure and fight the Dragon Prince to the death...

At this moment, Shou Zhuo died;

Yun Lang and his own Soul Transformation expert abandoned the other cultivators and fled in a sorry state;

Zu An fled into the dragon's belly, staking everything on a forbidden great curse;

Fan Xiruo, accompanied by a white deer, was captured by an old dragon, intending to take her into his harem for desecration, and she was on the verge of self-immolation;

Jin Xizi was heavily injured;

Wen Wenzi, relying on his immortal talisman, had not yet suffered damage, but could not escape either, and could only save people everywhere with Master Xuan Xiao;

True Person Liu Ding wished to self-detonate the Sea-Rolling Wheel, perishing together;

The two people from the Shenxiao Sect, Lin and Gu, took several junior brothers and also turned into thunder, constantly fleeing within the array. Two Shenxiao Sect disciples had already died to cover their retreat...

The Soul Transformation experts behind them had long since made their moves, but were entangled by those old dragons. They had gathered with Yu Lingxiao, the True Transmission of Mount Yujing who had come to assist, and now could only rely on the spirit treasure Mountain-Driving Whip to hold on for a while!

At this moment, the situation had deteriorated beyond repair, and the elite generation of the overseas immortal sects was about to perish here.

Qian Chen looked up toward the front, a trace of a smile appearing on his gradually cold face, and he whispered, "Finally here!"

In the east, a green ox came slowly, bringing with it three thousand zhang of purple qi. On the ox's back, a sword immortal in white as if painted raised his head, a long sword lying across his knees. His gaze followed various connections, piercing through layers of void, and met Qian Chen's eyes on the desolate reef. At this moment, the ox's hooves trekked through the water, suddenly accelerating. The green ox's massive body, as if carrying a mountain, crashed into the Sea-Blocking Great Array...

"Boom!"

The green ox's four hooves were wrapped in earthy yellow divine light, its body shrouded in yellow qi. At this moment, it seemed as if endless earth qi was accumulated together on the ox's body, almost condensing into a solid. It was like a divine mountain rooted in the earth, using the ten-thousand-year magic power of the Soul Transformation realm to unleash a great divine ability—

"Shaking the Mountains and Moving the Earth!"

Afterwards, the entire dragon race felt the vibration beneath their feet. The array was ultimately driven by drawing upon the surrounding mountains, earth qi, and water veins. The True Dragon Profound Water Great Array was cut off from the water veins of the four seas, stabilizing the array space and gathering the water vapor within.

Although the dragon race used the True Water of Heavenly One gushing from the East Sea eye as the source of the array's power, and used the Sea-Stabilizing Needle to anchor the foundation of the array, it was by using an extremely tyrannical method to insert the Sea-Stabilizing Needle into the earth veins, pinning the array into the earth veins.

Thus, millions of demon soldiers were pinned to the earth veins along with the array, making it so that there was support beneath their feet, allowing the demonic qi to be gathered in one place.

But at this moment, the green ox stomped its hooves, using the extremely tyrannical great divine ability of Shaking the Mountains and Moving the Earth to forcibly destroy the foundation of the entire array. The violent shock involved the nearby earth veins, and the aftermath caused the surface of the earth, which was constantly shaking from the earth qi, to sway violently. Dozens of mountain peaks on the seabed suddenly lost the support of the earth qi and collapsed with a roar amidst the tremors.

At this moment, a flying boat in the clouds flew from afar. Xie Jianjun stood at the bow of the boat, tilting his gourd and drinking wine in large gulps.

Arriving above the great array, he suddenly threw away the wine pot. His eyes seemed half-drunk and half-sober, and he saw a woman smiling faintly. He suddenly reached out to wipe the residual wine from his lips, staggeringly pulling the long sword behind his back, dancing a drunken sword dance, the blade pointing directly at the great array below.

The tip of the sword trembled, and Xie Jianjun laughed loudly...

Accompanied by a sweep of the sword tip, another great divine ability was unleashed!

"Dividing the River into Land!"

From the place where the sword tip swept, the seawater seemed to be repelled by a great force of heaven and earth, rapidly receding in all directions, revealing the dried-up seabed, the shattered mountain ranges, and the full appearance of those five high mountains.

In the True Dragon Profound Water Array, the array foundation, which had already collapsed once, no longer had the strength to suppress the seawater, allowing Xie Jianjun to divide the continent with a single sword.

In the churning sea, the tide receded like a curtain, and the sea surface seemed to be pulled open like a great curtain, exposing millions of water demons on the seabed...

"Whipping the Mountains and Moving the Stones!"

Yu Lingxiao also seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the iron whip in his hand. The thirteen Heavenly Mansion True Talismans were plated with a layer of blood light. He raised the Mountain-Driving Whip and struck fiercely toward the exposed seabed layer.

The iron whip fell, and the location of the five high mountains was precisely the weak point of the earth veins.

The five high mountains were pulled by the Mountain-Driving Whip, suddenly trembling, and began to collapse and destroy from the inside out. From the sky, the direction of the Mountain-Driving Whip's swing caused the entire Golden Blade Gorge to suddenly collapse downward by several zhang. Wherever it pointed, countless cloud qi surged and swept away, revealing the azure sky, while countless cracks crawled all over the seabed, piercing through the earth layer, just as if a whip mark appeared on the earth, causing the earth for a hundred miles around to crack and the mountains to collapse.

The five high mountains connected to the earth veins shattered and destroyed themselves, finally crushing the earth layer in this place, causing the earth veins to be cut off, and countless cracks appeared in the earth layer.

"Sea-Stabilizing Needle, Sea Eye, suppress the earth veins for me!"

Ao Cang's eyes revealed a trace of terror, and he hurriedly raised the two spirit treasures and divine objects, attempting to stabilize the earth veins. Under the joint effort of the two spirit treasures, they did indeed stabilize the situation of the earth veins so that it would not worsen, and resisted the aftermath of these three great divine abilities. But before the dragon race could breathe a sigh of relief, another voice resounded through heaven and earth...

"Revolving Creation, Reversing Heaven and Earth! Shatter for me!"

The sky, which had already had its sea of clouds dispersed by the previous move, suddenly saw infinite clear qi descending. Beneath the extremely fragile earth veins, the rolling turbid fire of the earth's lungs suddenly erupted upward.

Up and down, heaven and earth were inverted. The clear and turbid qi crushed that thin layer of earth veins. In an instant, the poisonous fire of the earth's lungs erupted, and the gale wind transformed by the clear qi of the sky stirred up a terrifying storm, turning into hundreds of tornadoes that pounced down from the sky, baring fangs and brandishing claws. The clear and turbid qi were completely twisted into a ball, and the terrifying Primordial Divine Thunder stirred up swept through the Golden Blade Gorge, causing the two large islands that sandwiched the gorge to shatter and collapse amidst the sound of explosions, and the gorge split into a bottomless abyss!

Wind, earth, water, and fire were completely mixed into a ball, beating the area for hundreds of miles back into chaos. Amidst the stunned eyes of dozens of true dragons, the entire earth layer suddenly shattered completely, burying millions of demon soldiers together!

The True Dragon Profound Water Array collapsed completely in the most terrifying, most thorough, and most desperate way!

As the array collapsed, millions of demon soldiers were buried by earthquakes, gale winds, poisonous fire, and floods. The magic power blessed upon those true dragons suddenly disappeared, and the black water of demonic qi dissipated, causing the group of true dragons to fall back to their original realms.

The feeling of being peerlessly tyrannical, capable of splitting mountains and breaking seas with a casual move, disappeared. The group of true dragons only felt their bodies empty and incomparably weak.

Ao Cang raised his head and looked toward the source of the last voice.

He saw Qian Chen standing in that chaotic clear and turbid space, his brow indifferent as a god, and it seemed as if a sword weapon was about to be unsheathed within his body, with terrifying sword qi about to erupt.

He stared at these true dragons, nearly one-fifth of the East Sea Long Gong, his eyes filled with coldness. Just by looking at his eyes, Ao Cang knew how firm the killing intent in this person's heart was.

Ao Cang roared at the sky, "You are plotting against my dragon race, waiting for the moment when my Long Gong's trump cards are all exhausted! Four great divine abilities, four great divine abilities! Hahaha... you really think highly of my dragon race! Who exactly are you?"

Xie Jianjun stood in the west, his long sword pointing obliquely to his side, his drunken eyes bleary, "Shaoqing, Xie Jianjun!"

The sword immortal in white who came riding the green ox had also drawn his flying sword, standing in the east, and said slowly, "Central Lands, Wang Longxiang!"

A golden rainbow from the north crossed the sea, the sword qi elegant, the golden rooster crowing long. A bearded sword immortal with a common iron sword hanging at his waist said loudly, "Shaoqing, Yan Shu!"

The green ox pawed the ground with its front hooves: "Moo!"

"Sword, come!"

Qian Chen reached out his hand toward his side and back. The long sword in his heart was finally unsheathed. The natal sword embryo turned into a streak of white light, suddenly slashing through the void and disappearing from Qian Chen's Purple Mansion. A point of sharpness split the clear and turbid, appearing in Qian Chen's hand!

The sharpness of the sword light was impossible to look at directly...

Finally, Qian Chen raised his head slightly and said indifferently, "Loose Immortal, Lu Chunyang!"

When Yan Shu finally arrived, it was the four great sword immortals arriving together, surrounding and killing the dragon race in this place!

Hum! The natal flying sword moved abruptly in Qian Chen's hand, and then slashed out at a speed Ao Cang could never have imagined...

The sword light instantly slashed through the void, splitting the chaos, like a meteor that the eye could not capture. Before Ao Cang could even react, a sword slashed through the air, and a streak of sword light sank into the center of the Dragon Prince Ao Jia's brow, like splitting an eel, killing him.

Even his primordial spirit was shattered along with it!
