80: Great War

The surprise attack by the two Core Formation Ancestors of the Green Wave Sect was lethal!

Especially that black iron stake Magic Treasure shot from True Person Qing Bo's sleeve, instantly piercing the Spiritual Vein node at the edge of the Water Mansion—the spirit sealing stake!

Once this stake appeared, a strange fluctuation instantly spread, as if forcing harsh noise into a smooth musical composition.

The Spiritual Vein originally surging beneath the Water Mansion suddenly became chaotic and sluggish in its operational trajectory.

The Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Grand Array, which relied on the Spiritual Vein for core energy, flickered violently, emitting a moaning hum. The condensed heavy water shield thinned and became unstable at a speed visible to the naked eye, its power suppressed by nearly half!

"Not good!" Gao De's heart sank.

This spirit sealing stake was clearly a trump card specifically prepared by the Green Wave Sect to deal with his Water Mansion, which relied on the Spiritual Vein!

With one rising and the other falling, the situation instantly became extremely dire.

"Haha! Demon Flood Dragon, let's see how you rely on this turtle shell now!" True Person Lan Tao laughed upon seeing this, controlling the mountain-like sea-overturning seal, once again carrying immense force, smashing down fiercely toward the dimmest part of the Formation's light screen!

This time, if struck, the Grand Array would inevitably be damaged.

True Person Qing Bo also sneered repeatedly, waving the whisk in his hand. Those thousands of heavy water threads, like maggots on bones, crazily eroded inward along the cracks of the Formation, interfering with and destroying the Formation's internal structure.

At the brink of life and death, a trace of nearly insane calmness suddenly flashed in Gao De's huge Dragon eyes.

Escape? In front of two prepared Core Formation Cultivators, especially since the opponent used means like the spirit sealing stake specifically designed to counter geographical advantages, the success rate was extremely low, and the foundation of the Water Mansion would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Fight head-on? The Formation was severely weakened, and fighting two Core Formation Cultivators at once, the chance of victory was slim.

Then, the only way to survive, and the best way to deter the enemy, was... to use attack as defense, concentrate all power, deliver a thunderous blow, and at least severely injure or even kill one of them!

Target, instantly locked!

True Person Qing Bo's Aura was more steady and seasoned; he was clearly a veteran Core Formation Cultivator.

As for True Person Lan Tao, based on the intelligence Gao De had pieced together from fragmented information from the Heavenly Secret Realm, and seeing that his Aura was slightly weak and there was a subtle, imperceptible lack of smoothness in his mana operation when controlling the sea-overturning seal, although he had advanced to Core Formation a few years earlier than himself, his Realm might not even be fully stabilized now!

Since that was the case, then kill him first.

In a flash, Gao De had made his decision.

This battle could not end peacefully; since the Green Wave Sect chose to act at this time, they harbored a heart of certain death.

If they were not made to pay a painful price, there would be no peace in the future!

"Want to break my Formation? Take a blow from me first!"

Gao De let out a sky-shaking Dragon roar. Facing the crashing sea-overturning seal, he did not dodge or avoid!

The Purple Lightning Thunder Aura around his body erupted with unprecedented intensity, as if his whole person had turned into a purple thunder sun!

His huge Dragon tail lashed out fiercely, not directly clashing with the sea-overturning seal, but slamming against the water screen on the side, stirring up monstrous undercurrents. Utilizing the reaction force and precise control over the water flow, he made his huge body slide away, narrowly scraping past the edge of the sea-overturning seal at an unnatural speed!

At the same time, the unicorn horn on his forehead shone with brilliant purple light, condensing nearly half of the Demonic Power and Bloodline thunder he could mobilize at this moment into a beam of Purple Lightning condensed to the extreme. It was not shot at the sea-overturning seal, but directly pierced at True Person Lan Tao who was controlling it!

This change of move was as fast as lightning, completely catching True Person Lan Tao off guard.

He had assumed that Gao De would either resist head-on or dodge in a sorry state; he hadn't expected that while dodging, the opponent could still launch such a fierce counterattack!

The Purple Lightning beam's law-breaking power and destructive thunder intent made his Divine Soul feel a stinging pain!

"Careful!" True Person Qing Bo called out a warning, waving his whisk, and several heavy water threads attempted to intercept the Purple Lightning beam.

But could Gao De's painstaking full-power blow be blocked so easily?

"Sizzle!"

The Purple Lightning beam pierced through the surface with a single point, instantly tearing apart the hastily deployed heavy water threads. Although its power was slightly weakened, it still carried an indomitable momentum as it shot to the front of True Person Lan Tao!

True Person Lan Tao's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly recalled the sea-overturning seal to protect himself, while simultaneously offering up a small blue shield.

"Boom!"

This small blue shield was merely a top-grade Magical Artifact he had used during the Foundation Establishment Stage; how could it withstand a fully charged blow from a Third-Tier Demon King?

The Purple Lightning beam slammed fiercely against the small blue shield, thunder exploded, and the small shield's spiritual light flickered violently, emitting a groan. Its surface shattered directly, and the remaining attack slammed fiercely into True Person Lan Tao's protective spiritual light!

Fortunately, his mana had not been exhausted too much, and the protective spiritual light managed to take this blow, though it appeared precarious under the aftermath.

True Person Lan Tao was only shaken by this immense force, his blood and Qi surging, and he retreated several steps, horrified in his heart: "How could this Demon Flood Dragon's power be so strong?!"

He only then realized that he had severely underestimated the strength of this newly promoted Dragon!

The opponent's Divine Ability, power, and especially the grade of that thunder Spell, far exceeded his estimation!

And just at the moment when his old strength had just faded and new strength had not yet been born, and his mind had a gap due to shock—

Gao De's true killer move was activated!

The power he had kept hidden, even at the cost of hard-resisting part of the Formation's backlash and True Person Qing Bo's harassment, erupted at this moment!

Innate Divine Ability—Dragon Might Domain!

A terrifying pressure originating from a superior Dragon, like an invisible mountain, precisely shrouded the mentally unstable True Person Lan Tao!

Although it could not make him unable to move like it would a low-level Cultivator, this sudden, direct impact of Dragon Might on his Divine Soul was enough to cause a momentary stagnation in his mana operation and make his Divine Sense perception blurry!

Now is the time!

Gao De's huge body, wrapped in lightning, disappeared from the spot as if teleporting!

The Lightning Evasion Technique was pushed to its limit by him, no longer for fleeing, but transformed into a bolt of death lightning, lunging straight at True Person Lan Tao!

On his unicorn horn, unprecedentedly dazzling thunder light crazily condensed, no longer a beam, but transformed into a tangible thunder spear wrapped in destructive Purple Lightning—Thunder Smite Spear · Full Power Strike!

This blow drained most of his remaining Demonic Power, incorporating the violence and resolution of the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon Bloodline, the goal was—a one-hit kill!

"Junior nephew, retreat quickly!" True Person Qing Bo finally changed color, seeing Gao De's intention. The whisk turned into sky-filling blue threads, covering Gao De like a net, and the sea-overturning seal also whistled down again, attempting to relieve the siege by attacking the enemy's base.

But, it was too late!

Under the interference of the Dragon Might Domain, True Person Lan Tao's reaction was half a beat slow!

When he saw in horror that the thunder spear exuding the Aura of death rapidly magnified in his pupils, all defenses seemed so hasty and powerless!

"No—!"

True Person Lan Tao only had time to let out a desperate roar, blocking the sea-overturning seal tightly in front of him.

"Boom!!!!!!!"

The deafening explosion swept across the entire water area!

The Thunder Smite Spear collided fiercely with the sea-overturning seal and the protective spiritual light! The dazzling thunder light and violent Water Element Power raged and annihilated crazily!

"Crack!" The protective spiritual light was the first to be unable to withstand it, shattering completely!

"Hum!" The sea-overturning seal let out a sorrowful groan, flying backward with dim spiritual light, its surface even showing a crack!

And the remaining power of the Thunder Smite Spear slammed fiercely into True Person Lan Tao's Physical Body!

"Puff—!"

True Person Lan Tao was hit hard, blood spraying out wildly, his Physical Body instantly shattered, a bowl-sized hole appeared in his chest, and one could even see the scenery behind him!

His whole person flew backward like a kite with a broken string, his Aura like a candle in the wind, instantly withering to the extreme!

Although he did not fall on the spot, he was already seriously injured and had lost most of his combat power!

Gao De's long-planned, full-power desperate blow actually managed to severely injure one of the two Core Formation Cultivators under their siege!

The price was that he had taken several heavy blows from True Person Qing Bo's whisk, the scales on his back were shattered, dripping with blood, and his internal Demonic Power was also exhausted greatly.

But his huge Dragon head raised up, his cold vertical pupils locked onto the livid, shocked and angry True Person Qing Bo, and he let out a Dragon roar full of Evil Qi:

"Now, it's your turn!"

The situation, due to Gao De's ruthlessness and ferocity, was instantly reversed!

True Person Qing Bo, facing this exceptionally fierce and ruthless Purple Lightning Flood Dragon alone, felt a strong sense of regret and chill in his heart for the first time.
