411: Chapter 411 One-Handed Strike Against a Veteran

At one end of the forest, a figure stood with arms wide open, laughing wildly at the sky.

At first glance, it was indeed Long Tianxing, but a closer look revealed significant differences.

This "Long Tianxing" had eyes wide with excitement, and the corners of his mouth split all the way to his ears.

Most striking were the dragon horns on his forehead that looked like ice crystals.

And the long, deep blue dragon tail behind him.

The upper half of Long Tianxing's familiar black brocade robe had been torn to shreds, revealing his perfect muscle lines and eight-pack abs.

But upon closer inspection, a recovering wound could be seen on his left ribs.

"Hahaha, the feeling of breathing air again is truly wonderful."

"Junior Brother, oh Junior Brother, I told you that you were one move short. Isn't it still me who gets the last laugh?"

"Just wait, I will replicate your method and let this world return to the rule of true humans once more!"

"So the first thing to do is to kill your descendants to provide power for my return."

"Long Tianxing" finally stopped his madness, but it didn't disappear; it was merely restrained a bit, though traces of it still lingered on his face.

"Then let me see where the Human Race is nearby." With that, he looked up, closed his eyes, and sniffed the surrounding scents.

After just two sniffs, his closed eyes twitched, his brow furrowed, and then he sniffed again, refusing to believe it.

Then he suddenly snapped his eyes open, his face full of confusion.

"How is this possible?"

"Why isn't there a single trace of life nearby?"

"Could that kid's descendants have all died out?"

"That shouldn't be..."

Just as he was troubled, a figure in a blue robe walked toward him.

The person had delicate features and a daunting Aura, with a faint, special atmosphere surrounding him, making him appear incredibly mysterious.

He stared intently at the other's dark gold eyes and asked a question.

"Human Race? Dragon Clan?"

"Which one are you?"

The person opposite him merely smiled, appearing exceptionally gentle.

He heard the other person speak in pure Dragon Clan language.

"I don't know which Senior has arrived, but could I please ask you to temporarily return his body to me?"

"Long Tianxing" burst out laughing upon hearing this.

He then spread his arms again and laughed arrogantly, while the person opposite just watched quietly, waiting for him to finish.

Finally, as if tired of laughing, "Long Tianxing" casually picked a large rock to sit on and said to the person.

"I haven't heard anyone dare to speak to me like this for a long time, but since you are a newcomer, I'll consider it ignorance rather than malice."

"Today is a day of great joy for me, so I will be merciful and let you off."

As he spoke, "Long Tianxing" stroked his own body like a precious treasure, an action that caused the corner of the other person's mouth to twitch, though his expression remained unchanged.

He just didn't notice it.

"This Physical Body is truly extraordinary, though it's not of much use to me."

"So, I'm more interested in researching this Physical Body."

At this point, "Long Tianxing" looked up, his eyes filled with greed and his face becoming increasingly distorted.

"I utterly loathe human bodies, but you... you attract me even more than this body does."

"Whether you are of the Human Race or the Dragon Clan, hand your body over to me. After I leave this place, I will credit you and grant you a lifetime of glory."

"As for whether you can trust me?"

"Celebrate! Standing before you is one of the First Ancestors of the Dragon Clan, the leader of true humans, one of the supreme leaders of the Pangu Continent, the Lord of the Eastern Extreme, and the Supreme Commander of the Yao Race, General Tiance, Initial Flood Dragon!"

Long Tianxing, or rather, the current user of this body—Initial Flood Dragon!

With every sentence, his emotions grew more excited. After a short while, he stood up again, spread his large hands, and laughed loudly.

The person opposite him just kept smiling, shook his head, and then repeated what he had just said.

It was at this moment that Initial Flood Dragon's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

His face returned to a calm expression, and his hand, covered in blue scales, rubbed back and forth between the back of his head and his neck. His eyes narrowed slightly as if he were enjoying a massage.

"Ah~ such a good mood, yet you've completely ruined it."

"I originally intended to spare your life."

The next instant after he finished speaking.

Initial Flood Dragon moved.

Dust flew from the ground beneath his feet as his figure vanished from its spot, charging straight at the blue-robed figure.

At the same time, he released his terrifying Aura, carrying the weight of an ancient era.

He pressed it down toward the blue-robed man.

The moment the Aura arrived, Initial Flood Dragon appeared in front of him, pulling back a fist to strike with a cold sneer on his face.

"Strange, where did he go?"

"Why is it all blue in front of me, yet there's nothing there?"

Initial Flood Dragon's head felt a bit dizzy. After a second, when pain surged through his entire body, he realized the reason.

"So I was sent flying by a single blow and am now lying on the ground. No wonder it's so blue; it's the sky..."

Initial Flood Dragon just stared quietly at the sky, lost in thought.

Once he snapped out of it, his eyes were filled with nothing but rage. His whole body trembled, a sign of extreme anger.

"You bastard! How dare you humiliate me! Unforgivable!"

Initial Flood Dragon slapped the ground to stand up, then pushed off with his toes.

This time, he didn't charge forward but leaped backward instead.

Then, on his face distorted by rage, a frantic smile appeared once more.

While suspended in mid-air, he finished his hand Seals. One hand formed a sword finger pointing forward, while the other supported it from below to keep it steady.

A small point emitting terrifying cold Qi gathered at the tip of his sword finger.

"Go to hell!"

"Zero Point!!!"

The small point condensed to the size of a pellet and then shot out explosively.

It was extremely fast, leaving a faint trail of cold Qi that lingered for a long time.

Even some of the cold Qi clung to the surrounding vegetation, quickly eroding and freezing them solid.

The terrain and vegetation here were exceptionally resilient; ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators would find it hard to damage them in the slightest. Yet this small ice ball, which shot through like a sharp sword...

Just the cold Qi it emitted had such power, showing the extent of Initial Flood Dragon's rage.

At this point, he no longer intended to possess this guy's body; he wanted to destroy him completely, using his life as the first proclamation of his return to this world!

"Strange, why did a wall suddenly appear in front of me?"

Initial Flood Dragon's head was a bit dizzy, not understanding why a wall was pressed against his face. Then, as pain once again spread through his body, he realized.

"Oh, it's just the ground..."

After saying this, Initial Flood Dragon slowly closed his eyes. The long horns, the tail, and the scales on his hands all vanished.

Before he completely passed out, he heard only one sentence.

"Times have changed, old timer."

At this moment, the blue-robed man sitting on the other's lower back rested his chin on one hand, quietly looking at the unlucky fellow beneath him.

"Is this good Luck or bad Luck? It couldn't be that because I absorbed half of his Luck, he didn't have enough left to face this damn thing, could it?"

Back to when Initial Flood Dragon first started laughing.

Zhou Yan had followed the sound after hearing Long Tianxing's familiar yet slightly off voice.

As it turned out, Brother Long had actually become a dragon!

Not only did he have horns on his head, but he also had a tail.

Then he laughed like a villain, talking about returning to the world and killing the Human Race.

Without even thinking, Zhou Yan knew Long Tianxing was going through another plotline.

After complaining that "the other path doesn't seem easy either," Zhou Yan simply cast a Nascent Soul Domain over him.

The other party not only had no reaction but was also completely unaware.

As the Nascent Soul Domain enveloped him, Zhou Yan refreshed Long Tianxing's panel again.

【Long Tianxing (Initial Flood Dragon Vessel)】

【Realm: Early Nascent Soul Stage / Half-step Void Refining and Dao Integration】

【Vitality: 11.8m】

【Mana: 423k + 30min / 1m】

"Holy crap, what kind of weird Realm is this?"

As soon as Zhou Yan saw that abstract panel, his curiosity was piqued.

He could feel that the Heart Demon he had left in the other's body was still reachable and seemed able to easily suppress the extra power within.

For this reason, Zhou Yan activated the Law of the Heart to influence his mind, wanting to see if he would say anything on his own.

But unexpectedly, the guy just kept laughing like a maniac and boasting about himself, saying nothing else.

What's even more ridiculous is that he was incredibly weak, perhaps only slightly stronger than an ordinary Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, at most at the level of a normal Prodigy.

Perhaps he was strong in his Peak, but in a battle at the same level, Long Tianxing was at least two streets ahead of him.

This made it hard for Zhou Yan to even pretend to struggle; he just ended up one-shotting him with a punch. He really didn't know how Long Tianxing had been controlled by him.

So, once the progress bar for Six Desires Heaven was full, Zhou Yan took him down directly, planning to search for whatever he wanted to know himself.

And so, the current situation occurred.

While waiting for information from the Heart Demon, Zhou Yan looked at Long Tianxing with a strange expression.

"The protagonist plot is classic—suddenly having an old grandpa or some Devil Head in your body—but why is yours so weak?"

Because the Domain was active, Initial Flood Dragon's performance was completely exposed to Zhou Yan.

The only thing worth mentioning about him was probably that attack called "Zero Point."

That strike had already reached the level of absolute zero.

Anything it touched would freeze, turning everything into a state of stillness. As an ice-type Divine Ability or Spell, it was quite top-tier.

But this move was a bit too straightforward and primitive.

It was purely about stacking stats, and the attack speed wasn't fast. Zhou Yan could dodge it if he wanted, or even just block it with something.

It didn't have the power to fight across several Realms at all.

It didn't have a guaranteed hit effect, and it was slow. He really didn't see the point of this move.

Even his own somewhat useless Hundred Rivers Convergence was better; at least the latter half had a full-duration grab, and with the help of the Top Donor, it seemed to have a new development path.

The most unbearable part was that after this guy possessed him, he added a health bar to a Heaven-Defying monster that didn't have one—and even then, it was incredibly thin.

"The originally unique player panel ended up with a guy like you; isn't this a pure nerf?"

"It's completely unable to trigger Long Tianxing's unique effect where he becomes a doomed army when about to lose, and a doomed army always wins."

"Oh? It's settled. Let me see what happened then."

With that, Zhou Yan activated Six Desires Heaven, connecting to the Heart Demon inside Long Tianxing.

As soon as he entered, Zhou Yan saw a deep blue giant dragon with ice-crystal horns.

"He has 'Flood Dragon' in his name, but he's actually a dragon?"

Before the other party could move, Zhou Yan calmly plugged his ears with his hands.

"Roar!"

Sure enough, a dragon roar erupted, and the massive wind made Zhou Yan's robes flutter wildly, but his expression remained calm.

Before the other party could take another step, he snapped his fingers, and countless chains appeared out of thin air, binding the flood dragon.

Making him unable to move.

"You damn brat! Do you know who I am?!"

"I am the First Ancestor of the Dragon Clan..."

Then the guy, eyes bulging with rage, repeated his achievements and titles once more.

Zhou Yan just picked his ear, not caring at all.

"There are too many people. If they were all your size, this place wouldn't hold them."

"But you did remind me. If Long Tianxing gets the chance, he could get to know you."

"As for the current you, you're too dangerous. I'm going to Seal you."

Then, under Initial Flood Dragon's terrified gaze, a feathered arrow emitting a dreamlike Aura carved straight into the center of his brow.

His eyes rolled back, and he passed out on the spot.

At the same time, a modern voice pack was injected into his mind.

After finishing this, Zhou Yan mischievously adjusted the Heart Demon scenery here, changing it into a massive mountain, threw the unconscious Initial Flood Dragon inside, placed a cell door, and then left.

There was no need to worry about stability; the cell door was just a fake, a product of his mischief. In reality, the entire mountain was the Seal.

Emerging again, Zhou Yan looked through the memories he had acquired and couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.

He then shouted toward the sky.

"Bodhidharma? Bodhidharma, are you there?"

This time, he received a response quickly.

"Come up the mountain. I'm waiting for you."
