57: Chapter 57 Returning to the Xia Family, a Thorough Settlement!

The True Dragon Will wouldn't listen to any explanations at all!

Boom!

A giant dragon claw tore through the Void Realm, carrying terrifying power capable of crushing stars, and clawed straight down at Chi Sha!

True Dragon Precious Technique — Heaven-Ripping Claw!

"Not good! Demolition! Full-power demolition!!"

Chi Sha was terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. He frantically channeled his Origin Qi and threw a punch; the crimson fist light was like a volcanic eruption!

The Demolition Beast on his shoulder let out a sharp screech. The protrusions on its back instantly lit up with blinding red light, and a destructive energy rapidly condensed; it was about to self-destruct part of its body to fight back!

However—

Bang!!!

The dragon claw descended, and Chi Sha's fist light, which was powerful enough to flatten mountains, shattered instantly like bubbles!

The self-destruction energy that the Demolition Beast had condensed halfway was directly extinguished by the terrifying Law power contained in the dragon claw, forcibly stifled back!

"Pfft—!"

Chi Sha was struck as if by lightning, spraying blood wildly. His entire body was swatted away like a broken sack, slamming heavily into the cave wall and becoming embedded in it!

Yuan Emperor! This was absolutely an existence at the Yuan Emperor level, and perhaps even higher!

Chi Sha's face was filled with horror! If just one strand of will was this terrifying, what kind of existence was this True Dragon in its lifetime?

"With just your amateur skills, you dare to come to your Dragon Grandfather's doorstep to act wild?!"

The True Dragon Will's angry roar sounded like thunder.

Light flashed again, and a giant dragon tail swept across the sky. Everywhere it passed, fine black cracks appeared in space!

True Dragon Precious Technique — Divine Dragon Tail Whip!

"Demolition! Chain demolition!!"

Chi Sha had just struggled out of the wall. Seeing the sweeping dragon tail, his eyes split with rage, and he ordered the Demolition Beast again!

A flash of determination crossed the Demolition Beast's eyes, and the crystals on different parts of its body lit up one after another!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It actually sacrificed parts of its limbs to launch a continuous, small-scale self-destruction!

The terrifying explosion shockwave tried to block the dragon tail.

However, that luminous dragon tail merely vibrated slightly, and all the explosion shockwaves were instantly calmed, as if a gentle breeze had brushed over a hillside!

The dragon tail's momentum remained undiminished, slamming heavily onto Chi Sha and the Demolition Beast!

Crack!

A teeth-aching sound of bones breaking rang out!

"Ah—!"

Chi Sha let out a shrill scream, and who knew how many bones in his body had broken!

The Demolition Beast was even worse off, its shell shattered by the strike, blood flowing everywhere, and its aura instantly withered!

"You like exploding, right?! I'll let you explode to your heart's content!"

The True Dragon Will had truly caught fire, or perhaps it was simply venting.

It condensed a house-sized crimson dragon pearl phantom. The surface of the dragon pearl burned with raging dragon flames, emitting a terrifying high heat capable of burning the sky and boiling the sea!

True Dragon Precious Technique — Flame Dragon Explosive Pearl!

"Go!"

The crimson dragon pearl fell like a meteor, crashing towards the dying Chi Sha and Demolition Beast!

"No!!!"

Chi Sha let out a desperate cry, desperately propping up his last Origin Qi shield.

The Demolition Beast also tried to self-destruct its core again for a final struggle.

Rumble—!!!

A deafening explosion rang out!

The crimson dragon flames swept across the entire cave entrance, turning that area into a Hell of fire!

The light dissipated.

Only a huge scorched crater remained in place, along with two almost unrecognizable charred corpses at the bottom of the pit.

The Peak Yuan King Chi Sha, and his Peak Yao Beast Demolition Beast, were actually beaten to death alive by the furious True Dragon Will in just a few exchanges!

The scene was violent to the extreme!

It made Patriarch Xia Yuan and President Zhao Dehou's scalps tingle, and cold sweat flowed.

Was this the terrifying strength of an ancient True Dragon Will?!

Even if it was just a remnant will, it was this formidable!

After the brief shock, Ling Tian and Xia Youchu immediately widened their eyes, watching with full concentration, trying to comprehend something from those violent attacks.

This was a rare observation Opportunity!

Especially Ling Tian, who had just obtained the [Void Dragon Swimming Technique] and was full of curiosity about the Dragon Clan's power.

As for Patriarch Xia Yuan, after the initial shock, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

He remembered what Chi Sha said when he first came in — "Sure enough, it's here! It seems the intelligence was correct!"

His decision to leave the city was made on the spur of the moment, and he had deliberately hidden his tracks!

The only ones who could possibly know he had left Cloud City and be able to roughly judge his direction were people within the Xia Family!

A name instantly surfaced in his mind —

Great Elder Xia Mingyuan!!

This ungrateful old thing! He actually colluded with the Myriad Beast Pavilion, wanting to put him to death?!

A cold murderous intent rose from the bottom of Patriarch Xia Yuan's heart.

If the True Dragon Will hadn't intervened, today would have been truly dangerous!

The outcome would most likely have been total annihilation!

This time when he went back, he would definitely clean house!

...

The True Dragon Will vented for a while, and looking at the two charred corpses at the bottom of the pit, it felt much more comfortable.

It manipulated the power of the ruins, swept up the corpses of Chi Sha and the Demolition Beast, and buried them deep underground in the ruins, which could be considered a slight compensation for the loss of Origin Qi that Ling Tian had eaten clean.

After doing all this, its huge dragon face appeared again, glanced at Ling Tian and the others, and said huffily:

"What are you still looking at?!"

"The show is over, all of you, get lost!"

A powerful repulsive force enveloped Ling Tian, Xia Youchu, Patriarch Xia Yuan, President Zhao Dehou, and the two half-dead Shadow Snakes and Violent Bears.

A flash of light.

The few felt the world spinning, and the next moment, they had been forcibly thrown out of the True Dragon Ruins and appeared on the wilderness.

Behind them, the spatial fluctuations in that mountain col completely subsided, as if no ruins had ever existed there.

Patriarch Xia Yuan looked at the completely sealed True Dragon Ruins, murderous intent churning in his heart. He just wanted to return to Cloud City immediately and settle the score with the traitor Great Elder Xia Mingyuan!

He took a deep breath, suppressing his churning blood, and said to President Zhao Dehou: "Old Zhao, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, he found that President Zhao Dehou was looking to the side in shock.

Patriarch Xia Yuan followed his gaze and saw his daughter, Xia Youchu, and her War Beast, both standing in place, eyes closed, their auras restrained, as if they had merged with the surrounding heaven and earth.

An indistinct, profound Dao rhyme circulated around them.

"This is... Epiphany?!"

Patriarch Xia Yuan's pupils shrank, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

President Zhao Dehou gasped even more, pointing at Ling Tian:

"It's one thing for Youchu to have an Epiphany, but even a War Beast can enter an Epiphany state?!"

"Is this intelligence a bit too Heaven-Defying?!"

Epiphany was an Opportunity that all Cultivators dreamed of; it was a flash of inspiration, a communion with heaven and earth, a momentary touch of the Great Dao Laws.

Generally speaking, this was a privilege that the Human Race, as the masters of all spirits with extremely high spiritual wisdom, found easier to trigger.

Yao Beasts and War Beasts, no matter how high their potential, mostly relied on Bloodline instinct to evolve.

For someone like Ling Tian to fall into an Epiphany state was simply unheard of!

This... Ground Dragon, was definitely not simple!

Patriarch Xia Yuan also looked at Ling Tian with a heavy gaze, thoughts racing in his mind.

The War Beast that Youchu had contracted seemed to be even more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.

He did not disturb them, and together with President Zhao Dehou, silently acted as Protectors for the human and the beast.

Time passed bit by bit.

About a stick of incense later.

Ling Tian was the first to open his eyes, a sharp golden light flashing in his cold vertical pupils.

[Void Dragon Swimming Technique Rank increased! Current Rank: Entry Level!]

He felt that he had a deeper understanding of the [Void Dragon Swimming Technique] he had just acquired, and it could be considered barely entering the door.

More importantly, after observing the True Dragon Will's battle, he had actually comprehended a new passive skill on his own!

[Dragon Blood Boiling (Passive): Slightly increases the power and effect of all skills/abilities related to the Dragon Clan. Current bonus: 10%.]

Although the bonus wasn't high, it meant that when he used the [Void Dragon Swimming Technique] or other Dragon Clan skills he might obtain in the future, the power would be stronger!

And this was a growth-type skill; as his Dragon Clan Bloodline deepened or his understanding of Dragon Clan power increased, the bonus would also increase!

Immediately after, Xia Youchu also slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

In her eyes, it seemed as if two True Dragon phantoms flashed and disappeared.

She lifted her right leg, and her fair, long leg swept gently in the air. The movement was elegant and smooth, but it carried an indescribable, domineering sense of power!

Vaguely, it seemed as if a phantom of a Divine Dragon's tail swept past with her movement!

Bang!

Not far in front, a huge three-meter-high rock silently turned into powder!

"This... this is... Divine Dragon Tail Whip?!"

President Zhao Dehou exclaimed again, his eyes almost popping out!

What Xia Youchu had just performed was clearly the Dragon Clan Precious Technique that the True Dragon Will used to beat Chi Sha, Divine Dragon Tail Whip!

Although the power was worlds apart, the charm was absolutely correct!

She... she actually understood it after watching it just once?!

What kind of terrifying Comprehension Ability was this?!

Patriarch Xia Yuan also looked at his daughter in shock.

He knew his daughter was gifted, but wasn't this too exaggerated?!

Xia Youchu's face was calm.

She glanced at the shocked President Zhao Dehou and her father, and said lightly: "It's just a True Dragon Precious Technique, is it difficult?"

Patriarch Xia Yuan, President Zhao Dehou: "???"

The corners of Xia Youchu's mouth curled up.

Of course, she didn't learn it just by watching once.

In her previous life, she had contemplated the Dragon Pearl for countless years and had long had a very deep understanding of this True Dragon Precious Technique, but she had never fully comprehended it.

Now that she had witnessed the True Dragon Will demonstrate it in person, it was like piercing the last layer of window paper; everything fell into place.

Although she didn't have a tail, she used her leg instead of a tail, infusing the dominance of the "Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art" into it, and could similarly unleash terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks!

Ling Tian also glanced at Xia Youchu and transmitted a thought: "Nice leg, I'm talking about the leg technique."

Xia Youchu rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

"Let's go, Dad, Chairman Zhao, it's time to go back."

Her gaze was cast towards the direction of Cloud City, and a cold chill flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Some debts were time to be settled.

...

Cloud City, Xia Family Mansion.

Grand Elder Xia Mingyuan was sitting in his study, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, his mood both nervous and slightly excited.

He had already received news that Elder Chi Sha had successfully intercepted and entered the ruins.

Counting the time, should he have succeeded by now?

As long as Patriarch Xia Yuan died, this position of Patriarch would be in his, Xia Mingyuan's, pocket!

At that time, with the help of the Myriad Beast Pavilion, the Xia Family would definitely be able to move towards new glory in his hands!

And his precious son, Xia Lingfeng, was currently in the small courtyard of Xia Youchu that he had smashed to pieces, cultivating with high spirits.

Beside him, that magnificent Emerald Spirit Sparrow was grooming its gorgeous feathers, emitting a powerful aura.

"Hmph! Xia Youchu! And that monster! They must have already died outside!"

"This younger generation of the Xia Family will be my, Xia Lingfeng's, world from now on!"

He thought triumphantly, as if he had already seen the scene of himself ruling the Xia Family and summoning wind and rain in the future.

Just at this moment—

Boom!

A powerful Yuan King pressure enveloped the entire Xia Family Mansion without warning!

Patriarch Xia Yuan's cold, bone-chilling voice, containing monstrous rage, exploded like thunder:

"Xia Mingyuan! Get out here!!"

The voice spread to every corner of the Xia Family. All Xia Family disciples, guards, and servants looked up in horror, looking towards the direction of the main courtyard.

The door to Xia Mingyuan's study was blasted open by a huge force!

Patriarch Xia Yuan's face was as heavy as water, his eyes like sharp swords, staring fixedly at Xia Mingyuan sitting behind the desk.

President Zhao Dehou stood behind Patriarch Xia Yuan, his face equally ugly.

Xia Youchu and Ling Tian were a step slower and also walked into the Xia Family Mansion.

Xia Youchu looked at her smashed courtyard gate and the nauseating aura of Xia Lingfeng coming from inside, and her eyes instantly turned cold.

Good, good, good!

Xia Lingfeng, if I don't slaughter you today, I'll take your last name!
