83: You're celebrating too soon.

Inside the bloody cage, the killing intent had already reached its peak intensity!

True Person Xue Dan held the ten thousand souls banner and looked at Mysterious Ink, who was tightly trapped by the four Golden Core Peak Blood Souls and the Blood Radiance Great Formation. On his face, he displayed an unprecedented, cruel yet gleeful sneer!

"You beast!" His voice was hoarse, filled with the satisfaction of having avenged a great grievance. "Today, this Old Man shall use your dragon head to pay respects to the spirit of the Blood Soul Old Ancestor of my Blood Fiend Sect!"

As the ten thousand souls banner in his hand, filled with ominous aura, gently swayed.

Buzz—!

Mysterious Ink only felt an incredibly bizarre and terrifying suction force, filled with the intent to devour, suddenly erupt from the Bloody Hexagram Formation that was binding him!

That power seemed intent on forcibly drawing all the vital blood from his entire Dragon body!

Especially since he was currently tightly trapped by this strange Formation; his body felt as if it had sunk into ten thousand fathoms of mud, making even the slightest movement extremely difficult!

However, looking at True Person Xue Dan, who was already certain of victory and utterly complacent.

In Mysterious Ink's pair of majestic dragon pupils, there was not the slightest hint of panic. Instead, a cold mockery, as if looking at a Clowning Jester, flashed through them.

"Old thing," his thought, filled with disdain, slowly echoed, "Aren't you celebrating a little too early?"

"Hm?" True Person Xue Dan frowned upon hearing this.

But before he could react.

The next second!

Mysterious Ink moved!

Innate Divine Ability—Absolute Defense!

In an instant, a dark, Gloomy Halo, almost invisible to the naked eye and filled with the aura of immortality and eternity, flashed across his massive Dragon body!

Instantly!

The terrifying sense of restraint acting upon him—which was enough to drive any Third Tier Peak Demonic Beast to despair—along with the strange devouring power that seemed intent on sucking him dry into a mummy, actually... actually vanished into thin air at that very moment!

Vanished without a trace!

"Roar—!!!"

The moment he regained his freedom, Mysterious Ink let out a Dragon Roar toward the sky, filled with endless brutality and killing intent!

His massive Dragon body completely ignored the four Golden Core Peak Blood Souls that were charging forward fearlessly to attack. It transformed into a streak of Black Lightning that tore through space, shooting straight toward the already dumbfounded True Person Xue Dan!

The speed was so fast, he arrived in the blink of an eye!

That massive Dragon tail, heavier than a mountain and more indestructible than a Divine Weapon, was furthermore wrapped in majestic Demonic Power capable of changing the color of the heavens and earth. Like a Black Divine Whip swung down from the Nine Heavens, it fiercely lashed out toward True Person Xue Dan's head!

"You!!!"

True Person Xue Dan's expression suddenly changed drastically!

The sneer on his face had long vanished, replaced by endless, ridiculous, ghost-fearing disbelief!

He couldn't figure it out!

He couldn't figure it out even in his dreams!

How exactly... how exactly did this Black Flood Dragon break free from his "Blood Radiance Great D Formation"?!

One must know that this "Blood Radiance Great D Formation" was a Supreme Secret Treasure he had barely managed to obtain from an Ancient Demonic Path Remnant in his early years, surviving by the skin of his teeth!

This Formation could not only tightly trap enemies but also continuously draw the vital blood from their bodies for his own use!

Once trapped by this Blood Radiance Great Formation, even if your Divine Ability covered the world and your Profound Magic Power reached the mysterious, you would ultimately be exhausted and sucked dry to death! There was simply no possibility of breaking free!

The four Main Souls in his ten thousand souls banner were precisely refined from the Divine Souls of four Golden Core Peak experts of the same cultivation level, whom he had forcibly trapped and killed using this Formation years ago!

In his memory, no being had ever been able to break free from this Blood Radiance Great Formation!

But now... a mere Small Flood Dragon actually... actually managed to do it?!

What kind of international joke is this?!

However, reality no longer allowed him to think further!

Feeling the terrifying Dragon tail carrying the might of certain death, True Person Xue Dan's heart was instantly and completely overwhelmed by a sense of fatal crisis!

Without thinking, he immediately and unhesitatingly channeled all his Magic Power to support an incredibly thick layer of Body-Protecting Protective Aura around himself, attempting to resist!

Bang—!!!!!!

Mysterious Ink's Dragon tail fiercely smashed onto that layer of bloody Protective Aura!

An earth-shattering explosion suddenly rang out!

Terrifying Energy Shockwaves, like the most violent tides, spread wildly in all directions!

That layer of Body-Protecting Protective Aura, which True Person Xue Dan was so proud of, only lasted less than half a breath before the terrifying, utterly unreasonable, and supremely pure power shattered it with a "crack"!

Mysterious Ink's Dragon tail, its momentum undiminished, continued its trajectory and struck True Person Xue Dan's body!

"Pfft—!"

A mouthful of hot, old blood shot up into the sky!

True Person Xue Dan felt as if he had been violently struck in the chest by a high-speed Primordial Divine Mountain!

His entire body was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing fiercely into the distant thousand-zhang-high Coral Reef Mountain Range, forcibly smashing a bottomless, gigantic, humanoid crater into the seemingly indestructible mountain body!

"Cough... cough, cough..."

After a long time, covered in blood and disheveled, he struggled to climb out of the rubble.

At this moment, his aura was weak, his face was as pale as paper, and he was clearly severely injured!

However, before he even had a chance to catch his breath.

A massive figure, filled with endless coldness and killing intent, appeared behind him once again, like a ghost!

"Not good!"

True Person Xue Dan was scared out of his wits!

But, everything was too late.

Another Dragon tail strike, filled with the aura of death, swept toward him!

"Bang!"

True Person Xue Dan, who had just climbed back up, was fiercely swept away again, unable to put up even a semblance of resistance!

And this time, Mysterious Ink, seizing the opportunity, also swept up the "ten thousand souls banner" that True Person Xue Dan had been tightly grasping!

When True Person Xue Dan struggled to climb out of the rubble for the third time.

He was completely despairing.

He stared blankly at his empty hands, then looked at the Black Giant Dragon in the distance, which was looking down at him with the gaze one reserves for an "Ant"... he had failed.

He hadn't expected it.

That he, who had dominated the East Sea for hundreds of years, killed countless people, and shaken the surrounding region with his might.

Today, he would actually... actually fall to an obscure, small Black Flood Dragon.
