157: The battle of the two dragons!
From within Shen Xuansheng's body, bursts of deafening dragon roars that shook the heavens continuously emanated!
Simultaneously, a dazzling Seven-Colored Divine Light wrapped tightly around him like a giant light cocoon and rapidly expanded in all directions!
This strange and spectacular sight left everyone dumbfounded; the winding, majestic Dragon Vein beneath the earth was actually being swallowed bit by bit by Shen Xuansheng like a trapped giant beast... At this moment, the faces of Sima Wangquan and the others held nothing but shock and fear!
But Lord Zhu, standing at the very front, was the exception.
In his eyes, deep as the sun and moon, flickered an indescribable light, as if he were anticipating what would happen after Shen Xuansheng swallowed the Dragon Vein.
His originally wicked face now trembled slightly due to extreme excitement and agitation; it seemed he could no longer suppress his inner impulse, wishing he could rush forward immediately to see exactly what Shen Xuansheng would become after devouring the Dragon Vein!
Ang~~~~~~~~!
Once the Dragon Vein beneath the earth had completely disappeared, the Seven-Colored Divine Light surrounding Shen Xuansheng's body was coated in a layer of golden light. The golden glow completely masked the Seven-Colored Divine Light, and an indescribable majesty radiated from within the gold.
Inside the light cocoon, blood-colored cracks appeared across Shen Xuansheng's body, making it seem as if his entire being was about to shatter and break apart.
Blood dripped continuously, and Shen Xuansheng's breathing became rapid. His raspy voice sounded as if he were talking to himself: "Third Manifestation!"
"Lend me your Mysterious Yellow Dao Body!"
Buzz~~~~~~~~!
In an instant, a surge of mysterious yellow Qi rose from Shen Xuansheng. This Aura felt as though it could suppress all things in heaven and earth, and even the Dragon Vein was no exception.
With the support of the mysterious yellow Qi, the cracks on Shen Xuansheng's body slowly healed, and the Dragon Vein was completely suppressed within his body... At the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
Shen Xuansheng, dressed in a moon-white robe, had mysterious yellow Qi flickering in his eyes as his hands formed seals: "mysterious yellow origin, go!"
"I'm afraid the one gaining the most benefit this time is my true self again."
Shen Xuansheng looked toward the west: "Tathagata, you must not disappoint me!"
"I've even given you the world purifying white lotus. If you don't take it for your own, I'll look down on you!"
Whether the Luck of the Western Buddha could be reduced depended entirely on this move.
Inside the Heaven and Earth Tomb.
The light cocoon surrounding Shen Xuansheng shattered rapidly. Accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, Shen Xuansheng emerged fully from within the cocoon.
No!
At that very moment, Shen Xuansheng's body suddenly radiated a dazzling golden light. Immediately after, his body expanded rapidly, transforming into a massive Golden Dragon in the blink of an eye!
This Golden Dragon was covered in a layer of brilliant golden scales, shining with a heart-palpitating radiance;
Its ten-thousand-zhang long dragon body coiled in the Void Realm like a towering mountain. It looked down majestically and solemnly at Lord Zhu below and let out a deafening roar: "Lord Zhu, come and fight!"
Witnessing this from the side, Sima Wangquan's jaw nearly hit the ground. He swallowed hard and said with a face full of shock: "Heavens!... He actually swallowed that Dragon Vein! How is this possible..."
"Xue Wujian, what kind of Cultivation Technique is Old Shen practicing that he can actually fuse the energy of a Dragon Vein?"
Standing nearby, Xue Wujian's face was also as pale as paper, with cold sweat trickling down her forehead. She managed a bitter smile and said: "I don't know either... but judging by the strength he's displaying now, the Cultivation Technique he practices must be extraordinary. Otherwise, it would be impossible to perfectly fuse with the power of a Dragon Vein in such a short time..."
Speaking to this point, Xue Wujian couldn't help but shake her head; she herself couldn't figure out the reason behind it.
At this time, Huang Gong, who had been silent, finally couldn't suppress his inner shock. He stared wide-eyed at the Golden Dragon in the sky and muttered to himself: "He really did it. This is simply inconceivable..."
Huang Gong had existed for countless ages. The shattering and restructuring of heaven and earth were common occurrences in his eyes—he had even done such things himself. But now, looking at Shen Xuansheng, who had swallowed the Dragon Vein and transformed into a dragon, he was still somewhat shocked!
He had never even heard of such a thing!
Lord Zhu looked at Shen Xuansheng's ten-thousand-zhang Golden Dragon form, and an excited smile appeared on his wicked face: "Kid, you've brought me a great surprise!"
"To show you respect, I will use my true form to fight you. Let me see how strong you've become after swallowing the Dragon Vein!"
As Lord Zhu spoke, black light swirled around him, emanating along with dragon roars. Space shattered as a body also ten thousand zhang in length revealed itself. At this moment, between heaven and earth, a ten-thousand-zhang Golden Dragon and a ten-thousand-zhang Torch Dragon appeared together.
The world lost its color; the two dragons became the sky!
"Kid, I have to say, of all the creatures I've ever seen, you are the most ruthless, not hesitating to swallow a Dragon Vein whole. Forget it, no more talk, let's just start!" Within Lord Zhu's mouth, black divine light gathered and was spat out toward Shen Xuansheng.
Shen Xuansheng raised a Golden Dragon claw and tore toward Lord Zhu: "Dragon Aspect Heaven-Tearing Hand!"
He swung a claw down.
Space was instantly torn like paper. A hundred-zhang-wide spatial rift and claw marks blasted toward Lord Zhu.
Seeing this, Lord Zhu also swung a claw: "Torch Dragon Life-Extinguishing Hand!"
The Golden Dragon claw and the black dragon claw tore through space and collided.
Boom!
The world went silent for a moment, followed by the surrounding space cracking inch by inch, spreading for ten million miles.
Even the space around where Sima Wangquan and the others were located shattered with a 'crack-crack' sound like glass.
"Are they going to shatter heaven and earth?"
After dodging, Sima Wangquan spoke with disbelief.
Huang Gong flicked his horsetail whisk, and a sword formation rose to protect them. He said, "If this continues, I'm afraid the heaven and earth here will be completely destroyed by the two of them!"
In the sky.
The massive dragon bodies continuously collided. They had already abandoned the method of clashing with Divine Abilities, turning instead to the most pure combat techniques.
No flashy Divine Abilities, only the purest power!
Boom!
Bang!
The two ten-thousand-zhang bodies collided. With every impact, a section of space shattered. Whoever fell to the ground would smash out underground magma. In just a few breaths, the land within ten million miles was already riddled with scars, and magma continuously erupted from beneath the earth.
From day to night, from night to dawn.
The Golden Dragon and the Torch Dragon bodies continued to collide. The sound was like thunder, their movements like mountain ranges, their falls like earth dragons... Ten days later.
In the Heaven and Earth Tomb, no intact place remained. The earth had almost collapsed, and the firmament was nearly shattered.
Of the two dragon bodies, the scales on the Golden Dragon were already dull and lusterless, with blood spilling from beneath the shattered scales. Although the Torch Dragon was not as battered as the Golden Dragon, quite a bit of blood was also flowing out.
Mountains and rivers reversed their flow, and the earth collapsed!
Countless living beings were destroyed in this interval!
"Kid, let's stop here!"
Lord Zhu transformed back into human form and spoke.
