199: Chu Yu's Wrath

Ge Juan's already withered and decayed petite body suddenly bloomed with dazzling blood-red light; her decomposing skin peeled off inch by inch, revealing the crystal-clear Soul core within.

She laboriously raised her skeletal arm, using her last ounce of strength to form a grotesque blood seal.

"Father… your daughter… will help you one last time…"

With this faint murmur, the Blood Flood Dragon let out a pained roar.

Ge Juan's Soul core transformed into specks of starlight and merged into the Blood Flood Dragon.

She chanted an obscure Buddhist mantra, her voice faint, yet seemingly imbued with the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"Om Mani Padme Hum…"

The sound of the mantra echoed through the underground palace, and the previously violent thousand-meter Blood Flood Dragon suddenly quieted, its massive body slowly coiling above the blood pool.

Its crimson eyes gradually cleared, and it actually lowered its ferocious head towards Ge Hong, signifying submission.

"Hahahaha! Good daughter! This father's thirty years of doting on you were not in vain!" Ge Hong laughed maniacally, his gaunt finger suddenly pointing at Chu Yu, "Blood Flood Dragon! Tear them to shreds for me!"

The thousand-meter Blood Flood Dragon let out an earth-shshattering roar, its colossal body soaring from the blood pool, bringing with it towering blood waves.

Each scale shimmered with an eerie blood-red light, exuding suffocating pressure.

The Blood Flood Dragon opened its gaping maw, sharp fangs still stained with fresh blood, and bit down fiercely towards Chu Yu and Lu Chen!

"Boom!"

The Blood Flood Dragon's impact twisted the entire space.

Although Chu Yu wielded the hegemon halberd, he was still continuously forced back under such terrifying assault.

"Ah ah ah!!"

Chu Yu let out a pained roar, fine cracks began to appear on his skin, and golden blood seeped from the fissures.

The Blood Flood Dragon's pressure was too strong; even the Heavenly God Hegemon Body began to buckle, threatening to fall apart at any moment.

"No… if this continues…" Chu Yu gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes, "I can only go all out!"

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of vital blood onto the hegemon halberd.

The halberd body instantly erupted with dazzling golden light, and the coiling blood-red lightning instantly surged several times over.

"hegemon halberd Second Form — Tiger Roars Through a Thousand Armies!!!"

With this furious roar, a giant white tiger phantom suddenly appeared behind Chu Yu.

The white tiger was pure white, with only a golden king-mark on its forehead shining brightly.

It roared to the heavens, its voice shaking the nine heavens, then transformed into a stream of light and merged into Chu Yu's body.

"Roar—"

Chu Yu's eyes instantly turned into beast pupils, his muscles swelled, and white tiger stripes appeared on his skin.

Wielding the hegemon halberd, he seemed to merge with the White Tiger Divine Beast, exuding towering Battle Intent.

"Kill!!!"

One man, one tiger, charged towards the Blood Flood Dragon with the Aura of a thousand armies.

Every swing of the hegemon halberd brought forth a sky full of golden halberd shadows, like a thousand armies charging simultaneously.

Although the Blood Flood Dragon was powerful, it was continuously forced back under such a dense assault, letting out pained wails.

Its indestructible scales were torn apart by the hegemon halberd, and large amounts of blood gushed from the wounds.

Ge Hong's eyes widened, his expression a mix of shock and greed: "Chu Yu! You can actually unleash such a divine skill at the Transcendent Realm! If you Cultivated honestly, in time you would surely become the most top-tier Immortal Venerable on Tianqi Continent!" He suddenly sneered, "What a pity, what a pity, you actually chose to burn your vital blood to forcibly use this move, this is destroying your own future!"

Chu Yu's mouth overflowed with blood, yet he still laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! For a friend, what does death matter?!"

"Stubborn!" Ge Hong squinted his eyes coldly, "How many seconds can you, a Transcendent Realm cultivator, last? I want to see whose vital blood burns out first, or if my Blood Flood Dragon falls first!"

As he spoke, he began to move around, clearly intending to stall for time.

Under his control, the Blood Flood Dragon also became cunning, no longer engaging in head-on clashes, but constantly moving and harassing to deplete Chu Yu's stamina.

Sure enough.

In less than ten seconds.

The white tiger phantom shattered with a bang under the Blood Flood Dragon's frenzied tearing, turning into golden specks of light that dispersed into the blood mist.

Chu Yu was covered in blood, his once heroic face now as pale as paper, even his lips had lost their color.

He knelt on one knee, his hands gripping the shaft of the hegemon halberd tightly; although his body swayed precariously, his gaze remained sharp as a knife:

"Old dog, if you have the guts, come over here!!" Chu Yu coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, yet stubbornly raised his head, "Even if I die, Grandpa will drag you to Hell with me!!"

Ge Hong narrowed his eyes sinisterly, his gaunt figure flickering in and out of sight in the blood mist.

He did not immediately step forward, but cautiously maintained his distance.

A cunning glint flickered in his cloudy old eyes—he was waiting, waiting for this stubborn young man to completely exhaust himself.

After all, this perfect Hegemon Body would soon belong to him!

"Hahahaha…" Ge Hong let out a hooting laugh like a night owl, "No hurry, I'm not in a hurry at all…"

Ten seconds… twenty seconds… thirty seconds… time slowly passed in the dead silence.

The blood in the blood pool gurgled with bubbles, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

Chu Yu's breathing grew weaker and weaker, and his halberd-wielding arm began to tremble uncontrollably.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and large beads of sweat mixed with blood rolled down.

One minute!!

"Boom—"

The hegemon halberd finally gave out, crashing heavily to the ground.

The divine weapon instantly transformed into golden specks of light and dissipated upon contact with the ground.

Chu Yu's body tilted forward like a broken puppet, but at the last moment, he used his knees to firmly brace against the ground.

He laboriously raised his head, a relieved smile gracing his blood-stained lips:

"Brother Lu, I didn't fail you…" His voice was so faint it was almost inaudible, "One minute… I held it… for you…"

"Hahahaha!!" Ge Hong suddenly burst into a piercing laugh, "Foolish! Utterly foolish!! Do you think one minute can change anything? Could this waste really Breakthrough the Transcendent Realm in one minute? You know nothing about the Qi Refinement Stage!!"

The Blood Flood Dragon behind him excitedly wriggled its massive body, its scales rubbing together with a grating sound.

Ge Hong stared greedily at Chu Yu's body, his cloudy old eyes filled with covetousness:

"What a perfect Hegemon Body, it will soon be mine!!" He suddenly waved his hand, "Blood Flood Dragon! Devour him for me!!"

"Roar—"

The thousand-meter Blood Flood Dragon opened its gaping maw, sharp fangs still stained with fresh blood.

It lunged towards the exhausted Chu Yu with towering blood waves, its foul breath already spraying onto the young man's face.

Chu Yu clenched his fists unwillingly; he looked up at the charging Blood Flood Dragon, a towering rage surging in his heart: Wasn't he born under a shining Emperor Star? Wasn't he destined to become an Emperor? How could he… how could he die in such a place!!

"Ah ah ah!!!"

His unwilling roar echoed through the underground palace, but ultimately, he was powerless to turn the tide.

The shadow of the Blood Flood Dragon had completely enveloped him, and death was imminent.
