Chapter 334: Retaliation of the Trapped Dragon


    The giant head reared up along with the enormous body that it was attached to, rising up into the sky like a winding behemoth.


    The "bridge" that had emerged earlier also rose up into the heavens along with it.


    Only after it hadpletely ascended into the sky did everyonee to realize that the owner of the giant head was a huge ck dragon that was over 100,000 feet in length.


    The dragon had a pair of sharp curved horns that were giving off a menacing ck gleam, and ck smoke was swirling all around its enormous body, which obscured virtually the entire sky, plunging arge area around the White Jade Peak intoplete darkness.


    What was even more astonishing was that the dragon had a very strange head with a human face that was countless times more massive than a normal human face.


    The expressions of all of the dozens of deputy dao lords situated several thousand kilometers to the west immediately changed drastically upon seeing this.


    Among them, even those who had stayed in the ze Dragon Dao for the shortest amount of time had already been here for over 100,000 years, yet they had never seen or even heard of such a formidable beast lurking under the White Jade Peak.


    "Could this be... the ze Dragon?" Xiong Shan murmured with an astonished expression.


    "Could it be that this is what''s been making all those strange sounds under the mountain range?" another deputy dao lord spected with a bewildered expression.


    "That''s most likely the case. Many years ago, while venturing deep into the underground fire veins to collect Crimson Fire Essence, I detected an indistinct aura. At the time, I paid it no heed, but thinking back, that aura was virtually identical to the aura of this beast," a thin elderly man said with an enlightened expression.


    "But why does its face look like that?"


    "Isn''t that Dao Lord Baili''s face?"


    On the Origin View Peak.


    Han Li was looking at the enormous beast from afar, and the snippets of information that he had previously read about the primordial beast, the ze Dragon, quickly shed through his mind. Indeed, its physical description was almost aplete match with this gargantuan beast with only some minute differences.


    For example, it was described that the face of the ze Dragon was only very slightly resembling that of a human, but this ze Dragon''s face bore a striking resemnce to Baili Yan.


    Could it be that this is Dao Lord Baili''s true body?


    As soon as this thought crossed Han Li''s mind, it was immediately dismissed.


    This strange ze Dragon''s eyes were filled entirely with scorching ck mes and had no pupils, clearly indicating that it wasn''t an intelligent creature. Even if it did have something to do with Baili Yan, it was much more likely that it was an avatar of his.


    Furthermore, for some reason, as soon as the giant ze Dragon appeared, Han Li immediately felt a strong sense of aversion to it deep within his soul.


    He discovered that the ck mes burning all over the ze Dragon''s body seemed to have been imbued with extremely formidable baleful qi, more formidable than any that he had ever felt before.


    Meanwhile, on the giant blue flower hovering in the sky several thousand kilometers to the north of the White Jade Peak.


    The initially calm and unperturbed Vast Flow Pce cultivators now all had astonished looks on their faces, and they were too stunned to speak.


    At this point, Luo Qinghai had also stood up from his golden throne, and he was staring intently at the enormous ze Dragon.


    Only after a long while did he return to his senses before murmuring to himself, "I had thought that you had only gone into seclusion to dy the onset of the five decays, but never had I anticipated that you would''ve already ovee the five decays by forging such a unique path. How unfortunate... If you had been given just 10,000 more years, the Northern cial Immortal Region would''ve been no match for you."


    The effeminate man behind him approached him with an uncertain expression, then asked, "Master, what should we do now?"


    "All of you, watch carefully! This is an extremely rare opportunity. Even if the Immortal Pce manages to get what they want, it''ll almost certainly be at an extremely heavy cost," Luo Qinghai chuckled as he sat back down onto his throne and continued to observe the battle.


    Baili Yan''s body was enveloped in ayer of rainbow light, and he was holding a crimson immortal sword in one hand and an octagonal fiery red mirror in the other, standing several thousand feet away from Xiao Jinhan.


    The entire area within a radius of 20,000 to 30,000 feet around him was enveloped within a near-transparent hemispherical light barrier with white light surging over its surface, and it was also riddled with countless snowke patterns that were giving off cold cial qi.


    There were around a dozen Immortal Pce cultivators, including Xue Ying, distributed around the light barrier, and each of them was holding a white jade tablet that they were injecting their immortal spiritual power into.


    Over half of them were Golden Immortal cultivators, while the rest were allte-True Immortal cultivators, and it appeared that they had trapped Baili Yan here, but they hadn''t actually managed to gain the upper hand at all.


    "Baili Yan, it''s no wonder the Heavenly Court views you as such a potent threat, you are indeed a remarkable man," Xiao Jinhan said as he cast his gaze toward the ze Dragon in the distance.


    "There are no unremarkable people among those who have reached our cultivation base," Baili Yan replied with a cold smile.


    "In any case, we made the right decision toe here today. Otherwise, if we had given you 10,000 more years, you would''ve been the one actively knocking on our Northern cial Immortal Region''s door, and we would''ve certainly been no match for the High Zenith Stage Jade Immortal that you would''ve be," Xiao Jinhan


    "What makes you think you''re a match for me now?" Baili Yan sneered.


    ……


    In the sky above the White Jade Peak.


    An earth-shattering roar rang out as the ze Dragon twisted its body from side to side, rising up toward Baili Yan.


    Right as it was about to pass through the clouds up above, the severely ravaged ground down below abruptly shuddered, following which an enormous array projection appeared before releasing a vast expanse of dazzling golden radiance.


    Eight huge golden pirs, each with a golden dragon coiled around them, rose up around the ze Dragon, swelling to over 100,000 feet tall in the span of just a few seconds, and the pirs were riddled with runes that were giving off more golden light.


    Atop each pir stood a Immortal Pce Golden Pce, all of whom were chanting incantations while making hand seals to activate the array.


    One of the Golden Immortals standing on the pirs was none other than Gu Jie, and at the same time, the woman in the pink pce dress suddenly appeared in the sky above the ze Dragon with her white guqin hovering in front of her.


    She stroked her fingers over the strings of the instrument, and a burst of peculiar music suddenly rang out from the eight giant golden pirs, following which the eight massive golden dragons coiled around the pirs abruptly sprang to life.


    A collective draconic roar rang out as the eight golden dragons pounced out of the giant pirs, plunging headfirst into the ck mes to tear at the ze Dragon with their ws and fangs.


    Within the ck mes, the eight golden dragons wrapped themselves around the ze Dragon before opening their cavernous mouths and sinking their fangs into the ze Dragon''s body, only to find that they were unable to even bite through its scales.


    The ze Dragon let loose a thunderous roar as it began to thrash around violently in an attempt to shake off the golden dragons.


    As a result, it was constantly crashing into the giant golden pirs, causing a massivemotion.


    However, the golden pirs remainedpletely unmoved, and it was as if they were a permanent fixture between heaven and earth.


    This array was even more formidable than the Golden Scale Dragon Locking Array, and the ze Dragon was unable to break free.


    All of a sudden, Lu Yue rose up into the sky as a streak of dazzling golden light, then raised a hand to summon a ck ox horn bow.


    The bow''s design was very simplistic, as if it had been crafted without much care, and there weren''t any adornments or even runes on its surface. All it did was give off a faint ck sheen, and it had a very antiquated appearance.


    Lu Yue cast his gaze toward the thrashing ze Dragon, then lunged forward and slowly drew the bow back.


    As he did so, the muscles on his arms bulged and trembled incessantly, indicating that he was experiencing a great deal of strain.


    The bow was slowly being drawn back, and as the bowstring came into contact with his chin, wisps of silver light began to appear between his hands, then connected together to form a shimmering silver arrow that was aimed straight at the ze Dragon''s head.


    Lu Yue''s fingers had been sliced open by the bowstring, and blood was pouring out of the gashes, only to be absorbed by the bow. However, his aura was rather restrained, and he remainedpletely still, seemingly in no hurry to fire the arrow.


    At the same time, a tiny speck of silver light appeared on the tip of the arrow, and initially, it was rather indistinct, but it was bing more and more substantial and giving off bursts ofw fluctuations.


    The ze Dragon''s struggles continued to prove futile, and it was bing more and more furious by the second.


    It twisted around and opened its cavernous mouth to st forth a stream of ferocious ck mes to incinerate, andpared with the ck mes on its body, the fire being sted out of its mouth was even hotter and imbued with more fierce baleful qi.


    In mere moments, the eight golden dragons began to wilt under the intense heat, looking as if they were about to melt away.


    The eight Golden Immortals standing atop the golden pirs were also feeling the heat, and their blood cirction had sped up by severalfold, while a sense of agitation welled up in their hearts, as if they were being roasted in a fiery pit.


    Finally, one of the early-Golden Immortal cultivators was unable to withstand the heat any longer, and he involuntarily threw up a mouthful of blood.


    Immediately thereafter, Gu Jie also threw up a mouthful of blood, having already sustained severe injuries from the blow dealt upon him by the Crimson Luan sword.


    As a result, the entire array had been destabilized, and it looked as if it could copse at any moment.


    Right as the surrounding golden pirs were about to be toppled, Dong Jie suddenly appeared in the sky in a sh, and through the use of some type of secret technique, he had expanded his own body to over 10,000 feet tall.


    He was holding an enormous ax that he swung up into the sky with both hands while leaping into the air, then swung his ax down toward the ze Dragon''s neck.


    Dazzling ck light erupted out of the runes engraved onto the de of the ax, and it began to release formidable tearing force that caused the surrounding space to warp and twist.


    Right as the ax was about to tear through the ck mes and strike the ze Dragon''s neck, a burst of crimson light suddenly shot out of the top of the ze Dragon''s head like lightning, then rapidly expanded while flying through the air, transforming into a giant crimson sword that was several thousand feet in length before striking the sharp edge of the ax.
