266: A drop of blood from the ancestor Yuhuang!

The surroundings fell into a dead silence, with only the soundless water surging.

Lord Dragon abruptly turned his head, his gaze like a torch, falling directly on White Mirage. A hint of scrutinizing consideration instantly flashed within his enormous eyes.

"The aura on you has a feeling that I detest. It's that eerie sect again."

When White Mirage was stared at by Lord Dragon like that, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure surge towards him, as if all the water in the riverbed had solidified at that moment.

Lord Dragon's pressure was as heavy as a mountain, directly causing White Mirage's Divine Palace Realm to stagnate.

The speed at which White Mirage's divine sense operated suddenly slowed down, and even his breathing became difficult.

At the same time, the Nascent Soul within White Mirage's Divine Palace Realm trembled slightly, as if tightly gripped by an invisible force, making even his thoughts sluggish.

Under the influence of Lord Dragon's immense pressure, White Mirage's face instantly turned pale, and fine cold sweat seeped from his temples, sliding down his cheeks and merging into the surrounding water.

White Mirage's heart tightened. He quickly suppressed the panic and trembling deep within him and bowed deeply to Lord Dragon with extreme deference.

Then, White Mirage's voice trembled slightly, yet he tried his best to maintain composure, and quickly stated his purpose for coming: "Lord Dragon, I am from the Netherworld White Lotus Sect."

"This visit is absolutely without any ill intent."

After speaking, White Mirage paused, took a deep breath, and continued.

"To be frank, I was ordered by our sect's Grand Elder Bai Yan to come specifically to rescue Lord Dragon. I hope Lord Dragon will understand!"

After White Mirage finished speaking, Lord Dragon's gaze remained icy, as if looking at an insignificant ant.

His head tilted slightly forward, his scales shimmering with a cold luster in the dim water.

"Netherworld White Lotus Sect?"

Lord Dragon pondered silently for a moment, staring intently at White Mirage in front of him.

The aura emanating from this person was clearly identical to that of the martial arts cultivators from the Jingji Sacred Sect in the realm.

However, after a brief thought, Lord Dragon did not voice his doubts.

After all, for him, the authenticity of human sects was not the Key Points.

As long as it could help him break free from the seal set by that damned human—Xia Ritain.

Lord Dragon didn't care where White Mirage came from. Thinking this, Lord Dragon slowly retracted the fierce cold light from his eyes.

The powerful pressure that inadvertently leaked from his body also quietly receded.

Without Lord Dragon's terrifying pressure that caused one's heart to tremble.

White Mirage, a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm, suddenly felt as if a colossal burden had been lifted from his entire body, and an unprecedented sense of lightness washed over him.

"Such powerful strength!"

White Mirage couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. Recalling the pressure that had almost suffocated him just now, he still felt lingering fear.

This Lord Dragon is not only sealed by the power left behind by Emperor Tianqi, but also simultaneously suppressed by the mysterious Nine-Pattern Moon Artifact Xuan Bird Heavenly Lock.

Yet, even in such a difficult predicament, it could still release such powerful pressure, which was truly unbelievable.

"Could it be..."

A bold guess suddenly surged in White Mirage's heart, and his heart began to beat violently, uncontrollably.

"Is this Lord Dragon, perhaps... a supreme existence of the Void Realm?"

This thought took root and grew wildly in White Mirage's mind, plunging him into a state of extreme excitement and tension.

If it was truly as he expected, then he, White Mirage, would have no regrets in this life!

One must know that a supreme existence of the Void Realm was a mythical realm, only circulated in the vast historical river of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It was a martial arts realm that countless martial arts practitioners could hardly reach in their entire lives.

Now, this legendary Void Realm True Lord was close at hand, how could White Mirage not feel his heart surge with excitement and agitation?

The Golden lion beside him had ignored White Mirage all along, focusing instead on condensing its Nascent Soul power.

As time quietly passed, the Golden lion's Nascent Soul phantom grew dimmer, and its form gradually began to shrink.

Only then did White Mirage awaken as if from a dream, abruptly turning his head to look in the direction of Lion Lord.

What met his eyes was Lion Lord's enormous Nascent Soul phantom, which had already transformed into a fist-sized, dazzling golden rainbow light.

At the center of this golden rainbow light, a mysterious black blood drop was encapsulated.

That black blood drop was as profound as an endless abyss, dark and tranquil, so pure that it contained not a single impurity.

"Lord Dragon, this is a drop of essence blood from Ancestor Yu Huang."

This wisp of Lion Lord's Nascent Soul power, ever since entering the Great Xia Dynasty, had no intention of returning to its main body.

All of this planning was merely to deliver this drop of Ancestor Yu Huang's essence blood intact into Lord Dragon's hands.

In an instant, that fist-sized golden rainbow light burst forth with a majestic force.

This powerful force instantly broke through layers of surging water, forcefully carving out a vacuum passage in this water domain.

Immediately after, the golden rainbow light, carrying an unstoppable momentum, shot precisely towards Lord Dragon's location.

Where the golden rainbow light passed, it left only a fleeting golden afterimage.

Seeing this, Lord Dragon's thousand-zhang snake body, which had been stable, suddenly shook.

The ink-colored scales on his snake body each projected an eerie black glow, emitting a chilling coldness that made one's heart palpitate.

Every ink-colored scale trembled slightly, like countless eyes secretly peering, causing one's hair to stand on end.

At the same time, the nine chains wrapped tightly around Lord Dragon's body, which should have been heavy and stable.

Yet, at this moment, they were stretched taut by the sudden burst of power from Lord Dragon.

The nine black chains continuously emitted a grating, ear-piercing sound, as if they could snap at any moment.

The Heaven and Earth Laws on the Mystic Bird Sky Lock, which had originally only flickered with a faint light.

However, under Lord Dragon's violent struggle, those Heaven and Earth Laws suddenly lit up.

As if an invisible force had been awakened.

Immediately after, the nine black chains burst forth with dazzling light, and all the chains rapidly tightened, firmly suppressing Lord Dragon's enormous body.

The dark light of the nine black chains intertwined, forcing back the black glow around Lord Dragon, as if to completely seal his power.

In this fierce confrontation, the nine black chains pressed tightly against Lord Dragon's scales, emitting a "clanging" metallic friction sound.

Lord Dragon violently flung his head, letting out a low roar, his voice filled with extreme rage.

"Damn Xia Ritain, this Lord will not let you go."

Amidst his anger, Lord Dragon's body did not give up resisting, continuously twisting violently, attempting to fight against the Mystic Bird Sky Lock.

But the power of the Mystic Bird Sky Lock was as unshakeable as the Heaven and Earth Laws.

The more Lord Dragon struggled, the tighter the nine black chains became.

The next moment, Lord Dragon's head rose high, his eyes like two cold, blood-red moons, exuding endless majesty and fury.

His thousand-zhang snake body suddenly lashed out, and the nine black chains also trembled violently in response.

The water at the bottom of the river was stirred into a tumultuous churn, as if the entire water domain was trembling from Lord Dragon's power.

"Little Gold, why aren't you coming in quickly!"

Before his words finished, Lord Dragon's thousand-zhang snake body pushed, instantly bursting forth with countless bone-chilling, eerie lights.

The Heaven and Earth Laws on the nine black chains were instantly frozen, then cracked one by one, emitting a piercing sound of shattering.

At the same time, endless black light, like a surging tide, frantically spewed forth from Lord Dragon's scales.

In just the blink of an eye, it completely dyed the surrounding clear water into an unfathomable ink-black, eerie and sinister.

Under this terrifying power, even the rocks at the bottom of the river cracked under Lord Dragon's pressure, turning into countless fragments that drifted away with the current.

The two powerful forces of Lord Dragon and the Mystic Bird Sky Lock collided, causing a tumultuous storm.

The infinite water surged violently, as if being wantonly stirred by an invisible giant hand.

Rock fragments and sand from the riverbed were swept high, intertwining and mixing, forming a chaotic scene that made it impossible to discern direction or reality.

What was astonishing was that the broken Mystic Bird Sky Lock, in just a flash of an instant.

All the chain fragments actually re-converged, then rapidly fused together.

One breath later, the Mystic Bird Sky Lock was perfectly restored, as if it had never been damaged.

Just as the Mystic Bird Sky Lock was repaired, a golden rainbow light, at an extremely fast speed, impacted the outer black curtain.

This golden rainbow light was very small and inconspicuous, yet it approached directly towards Lord Dragon.

The reason Lord Dragon had struggled so desperately against the Mystic Bird Sky Lock just now was for this moment.

Lion Lord's divine sense, which only contained the power of a Nascent Soul True Person, was far from enough to break through the Mystic Bird Sky Lock's seal.

Therefore, Lord Dragon had to find a way to weaken the Mystic Bird Sky Lock's power in advance,

Then, by coordinating from inside and out and exerting force simultaneously, it would be possible to create a flaw in the Mystic Bird Sky Lock's seal.

White Mirage stood in the distance, witnessing all this, feeling incomparably shocked.

Standing a thousand meters away, he could still clearly feel it.

A trace of power overflowing from the Mystic Bird Sky Lock actually made him feel the long-lost sensation of death.

White Mirage was repeatedly forced back by the immense shockwave, his eyes filled with horror.

He had never seen such terrifying power!

Is this the Nine-Pattern Moon Artifact, Mystic Bird Sky Lock?

No wonder even an existence like Lord Dragon found it difficult to easily break free from the Mystic Bird Sky Lock's restraints.

"Lord White Mirage, your sect previously swore and promised to lend us a hand,"

In the water, the enormous green giant snake, with its massive body, coiled and undulated.

Now with Lord Dragon and Lion Lord by his side, Green King no longer had the timidity he showed earlier when facing White Mirage.

He suddenly raised his voice and spoke to White Mirage in human language.

"Now is the most crucial moment, Lord White Mirage, when will you make your move if not now!"

Reminded by Green King, White Mirage instantly steadied himself, not saying a word.

In an instant, dazzling white light burst forth from White Mirage's eyes, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.

At the same time, ethereal, pure white lotus flowers appeared out of thin air, slowly emerging around his body.

These lotus petals were crystal clear, with visible veins, emitting a soft and sacred light, completely out of place with the surrounding eerie and dark atmosphere.

In White Mirage's hand, at some unknown point, his right hand had firmly held a flawless white pearl, roughly the size of an adult's fist.

"Spirit Purifying Pearl!"

This was the ritual artifact personally bestowed upon him by Grand Elder Bai Yan when White Mirage broke through to the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm.

"Hmph!"

White Mirage stared intently at the seemingly thin but containing great terror black curtain in front of him. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he let out a cold snort.

Immediately, White Mirage's aura instantly soared to its peak.

Then, he unhesitatingly poured his Nascent Soul power frantically into the Spirit Purifying Pearl in his hand.

Instantly, an extremely dazzling white light bloomed, so brilliant that it illuminated the entire dark riverbed as bright as day.

Subsequently, a thick white beam of light shot out from the Spirit Purifying Pearl with a roar.

The white beam contained powerful Heaven and Earth Laws capable of destroying the world.

Along the way, it caused the surrounding water to be pulled and twisted by this force, emitting deafening roars.

White Mirage, a Nascent Soul True Person at the Major Achievement of the Divine Palace Realm, under the augmentation of the Eight-Pattern Moon Artifact Spirit Purifying Pearl, actually unleashed a full-strength attack comparable to a Divine Palace Realm at Major Achievement.

The white light beam, carrying an unstoppable momentum, slammed into the black curtain with immense force.

A moment later, a deafening muffled roar echoed endlessly at the bottom of the river.

A powerful wave of water, like a mountain collapsing and a sea overturning, wildly vibrated outwards from the point of impact.

At that instant, at the center of the explosion where the white light beam and the black curtain collided.

The collision of two powerful Heaven and Earth energies actually created a vacuum zone.

The endless surrounding water seemed to be isolated by an invisible force, a scene that was utterly shocking.

Lord Dragon's world-destroying power, Lion Lord's condensed Nascent Soul power, plus White Mirage's all-out attack.

The three forces converged and simultaneously impacted the same point on the black curtain.

At this moment, a faint cracking sound echoed, "Crack!"

This sound was extremely subtle, but all the beings present, whose hearing was different from ordinary people, could clearly hear it.

On the black curtain, a small opening appeared without warning before everyone's eyes.

Lion Lord, who had already transformed into a golden rainbow light, felt a surge of joy in his heart upon seeing this scene.

He immediately understood that this was the opportunity he had been desperately seeking.

Lion Lord's Nascent Soul made a decisive move without the slightest hesitation. The golden rainbow light flashed and shot rapidly towards the small opening.

However, just as Lion Lord's Nascent Soul had penetrated a tiny distance.

The black curtain suddenly burst forth with dazzling black light, emitting a terrifying and powerful aura.

Immediately after, streams of deep black air instantly extended from the cracked small opening.

These black streams of air instantly and mercilessly crushed Lion Lord's Nascent Soul, which had already passed through, turning it into nothingness.

At this moment, that drop of Ancestor Yu Huang's essence blood suddenly seemed to come alive, abruptly transforming into a streak of bloody light, and rapidly passed through the black curtain.

Subsequently, that streak of bloody light did not stop at all, directly merging into Lord Dragon's snake body.
