244: Ancient Dragon Corpse

This time, it was no longer a casual swing.

The blade light split, and three solidified, substantial, only ten-foot-long crimson bloodlines, as if transcending the distance of space, instantly appeared at the core of the heads of the three Quasi-Immortal bone dragons!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three soft sounds, like popping three bubbles.

The three enormous, mountain-like Quasi-Immortal bone dragons, their skull cores—the most solid part, imbued with residual Immortal Rank Law—along with the core of their fiercely burning Quasi-Immortal Rank Soul fire within, instantly became covered in spiderweb-like cracks, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, and then exploded with a roar!

The massive skeletal frames lost the support of their core will, collapsing with a crash like giant beasts whose spines had been removed, stirring up bone dust everywhere.

With just two swings of the blade, the death legion composed of countless powerful bone dragons at the bottom of the abyss had transformed into an boundless wasteland of white bones!

The pungent smell of sulfur was replaced by a strong scent of burnt bone powder.

Xiao Zhuo stood with his blade sheathed, his origin divine weapon humming in his hand, seemingly still eager for more. A large number of awakened Dragon Souls were absorbed by it, and the aura of the origin divine weapon immediately increased by a small margin. However, it was, after all, an existence below the Immortal Rank, so its effect on the Heaven-Grade origin divine weapon was limited.

His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the swirling bone dust, firmly locking onto the deepest part of the abyss, the only area where no white bones were piled.

“Finally… can’t hold back anymore?”

Before he finished speaking, the entire Burial Dragon Abyss suddenly trembled!

Rumble—!

A tremor more terrifying than all previous tremors combined came, as if an ancient giant god in slumber had been completely awakened.

The incredibly solid, dark brown ground at the bottom of the abyss, soaked in Dragon blood and tempered by Evil Qi, cracked and bulged inch by inch like a fragile eggshell!

An indescribably terrifying will, carrying primordial, desolate, supreme imperial majesty, mixed with the monstrous resentment and unwillingness accumulated over endless years, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the earth veins!

This will was so powerful that it instantly broke through the confinement of the Evil Qi magnetic field at the bottom of the abyss, soaring straight into the sky, even causing the Blood Evil barrier outside the Burial Dragon Abyss to shake violently, making the Blood Demon Army turn pale with horror!

“Heavenly Dao… is it you who awakened this wisp of residual Soul?” Xiao Zhuo’s eyes were sharp as blades, his body enveloped in fiercely burning Purple Extreme Star Flame, forcibly pushing away the terrifying will storm that surged towards him. The huge skull beneath his feet was completely pulverized under the immense pressure.

Crack! Boom—!

The ground at the center of the abyss bottom completely exploded!

A colossal entity, carrying billions of tons of soil and shattered rocks, slowly rose.

It was a Dragon Corpse!

Not just a skeleton, but a true, complete Dragon Corpse! The Dragon body, tens of thousands of feet long, was covered in dull but still indestructible dark scales. Each scale was as large as a house, covered with profound natural Dao patterns, though most were now shattered. The Dragon body was covered in shocking, massive wounds, one of which almost severed the Dragon body at the waist. Congealed Dragon blood, emitting a faint golden light, solidified like mountains around the wounds.

The enormous Dragon head hung low, one Dragon horn broken, the other also covered in cracks. But those tightly closed, massive Dragon eyes seemed as if they could open at any moment, looking down upon this tiny challenger.

A pressure transcending Quasi-Immortal and towering above the mortal realm—the shattered yet still terrifying aura of a True Immortal—swept across the entire abyss bottom like a substantial tsunami!

It was the remains of the ancient Dragon Emperor!

And at this moment, this True Immortal Rank terrifying pressure was being controlled by the vast and resentful will that had just revived at the bottom of the abyss!

This will was not the Dragon Emperor's complete consciousness itself, but its most intense unwillingness and resentment at the time of its demise, which, over endless years, combined with shattered Dao Principles and was then briefly awakened and condensed by the Heavenly Dao of this realm into a spirit of vengeance!

It had only one thought: to crush this invader who desecrated its resting place!

“Roar—!!!”

The Dragon Emperor Corpse suddenly raised its enormous head, and its tightly closed Dragon eyes abruptly opened!

There were no eyeballs, only two burning, dark golden flames, like abyssal whirlpools!

A roar originating from the Soul level, capable of making Cultivators below True Immortal instantly experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, mixed with materialized sound waves and shattered Dragon prestige Law, transformed into a destructive dark golden torrent, smashing down directly upon Xiao Zhuo!

Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing the chaotic Void Realm turbulence behind it!

The entire Burial Dragon Abyss, under the roar of this True Immortal Corpse, let out a groan of unbearable strain, and the rock walls began to collapse over large areas!

Xiao Zhuo’s eyes erupted with unprecedented Battle Intent. Facing the Dragon Emperor Corpse controlled by a fragmented True Immortal Rank will, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

The Dao Principle of Freedom within him circulated frantically, and the crimson runes on the blade of his origin divine weapon instantly glowed to their utmost, even triggering a riot of surrounding space's wind and fire elements!

“Good timing!”

He let out a long cry, not retreating but advancing. The Purple Extreme Star Flame around him transformed into a giant phantom of a fire deity, holding an equally enlarged phantom of the origin divine weapon blade, and slashed down fiercely at the destructive dark golden roaring torrent!

Boom—!!!!

An indescribably terrifying explosion erupted at the bottom of the Burial Dragon Abyss!

The destructive energy shockwave, like billions of stars annihilating simultaneously, instantly swept in all directions!

The mountain-like piles of Dragon bone ruins were completely leveled like sandcastles under this impact!

The already precarious dark rock walls on both sides, as if struck hard by a giant god's hammer, let out earth-shattering roars, and large chunks of the mountain began to collapse and fall!

The entire Burial Dragon Abyss, in this first collision that transcended mortal limits, began its complete collapse!

Smoke and dust, mixed with shattered Law and Evil Qi, soared into the sky, completely engulfing the already dim abyss bottom!

Only those two terrifying auras, at the center of the destruction, collided violently again and again like two raging stars!

Each collision intensified the collapse, making heaven and earth lose their color!

Rumble!

The smoke and dust were instantly pushed away by the violent shockwave, revealing the core battlefield.

Xiao Zhuo’s figure was forcibly blasted back a thousand feet, his feet plowing two deep furrows in the hard ground. The Purple Extreme Star Flame flickered violently, and several scale-like defensive light patterns on his body flickered on and off. A trace of golden-red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The Corpse Dragon Emperor’s roar, containing fragmented Dragon prestige Dao Principle, was far more powerful than imagined!

“Roar!” The Corpse Dragon Emperor’s massive body crushed space, instantly charging forward!

A giant claw, covered in shattered black scales and entwined with congealed golden blood, tore through the Void Realm, bringing with it the Law of death and decay that could rot all things, and slammed down!

Before the claw wind arrived, the ground beneath Xiao Zhuo’s feet had silently collapsed.

Xiao Zhuo’s eyes were cold, and the Zizai Immortal Power within him circulated frantically.

“Wind Thunder Shattering Void Slash!”

He let out a low cry, and above the black blade of his origin divine weapon, dazzling azure-white lightning and invisible yet all-tearing gale suddenly erupted!

The Law of wind granted extreme speed, the Law of thunder granted explosiveness, and even a trace of Space Law was drawn in, adhering to the blade!

The three Laws perfectly fused under the command of the Dao Principle of Freedom, transforming into an azure-white light streak that seemed to tear apart Chaos, slashing upwards!

Rip—!

Blade and claw collided! There was no earth-shattering roar, only the teeth-grinding sound of Law annihilation!

The Corpse Dragon Emperor’s giant claw, capable of shattering stars, was actually cut open with a deep, bone-revealing gash by this triple Law blade light, condensed to its extreme!
