update icon Updated at 2026/4/10 22:00:02

During the battle, the Blood Dragon's combat power was extraordinary, coupled with its fearlessness of pain and incredible recovery ability, Luo Cailing had no advantage at all.

After the recent dragon breath attack, not everyone was defeated. At least half of the people remained, although a significant portion of them were severely injured. Among the remaining half, only a few could still fight at full strength, perhaps not even half of them.

The Blood Dragon's sole objective was to kill everyone, a fact known to all. In order to survive, they naturally couldn't hold back and cooperated in attacking Luo Cailing. Among them were several exceptional opponents from before, such as Qingyunzi, the wild human-like witch clan, and the burly man who had fought him for a long time.

Speaking of the burly man, at this moment, he had transformed into his true form, a constantly black giant mysterious turtle with astonishing defense. Even the Blood Dragon couldn't break his turtle shell. No wonder they had said Bexia's attacks were ineffective; his defense could withstand the attacks of the undying gods.

"Law Borrowed from Heaven and Earth: Heaven and Earth Throw!" Seizing the opportunity, Qingyunzi gathered his power and smashed down towards the Blood Dragon's head with a golden coin as a medium, delivering a powerful blow.

"Boom!" The Blood Dragon was hit hard, with half of its head blown off.

"Ice River Breath!" The burly man transformed into a giant turtle spewed out a cold stream, while the massive black serpent coiled behind him did the same. The combined black and white cold air froze the Blood Dragon in place.

"Power of the Thunder Ancestor!" The wild man of the witch clan gathered black lightning around his spear, conjuring a towering figure holding a lightning spear behind him.

"Roar!" With a strike, the entire sky trembled. The power of the lightning explosion was undeniable, and the impact tore the Blood Dragon into several pieces.

"Imperial Fire!" To prevent the Blood Dragon from recovering, Luo Cailing completely burned the shattered parts of the Blood Dragon to ensure it wouldn't regenerate.

Yet, this action was of little use. The vine dragon god was just a decoy; even if defeated, it only meant a minor loss of power. Before they could breathe easy, a blood-colored bone dragon emerged from the blood pool below, much stronger than the previous vine dragon god. With a sweep of its tail, it forced everyone to retreat.

"Damn thing, so troublesome!" Qingyunzi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, saying fiercely. Then, forming hand seals, a golden mark appeared on his forehead.

"Seal, Release!"

Instantly, Qingyunzi's power soared rapidly, surpassing the limits of a Saint in the blink of an eye, entering the ranks of the undying gods. A mysterious aura surrounded him, but his power increase seemed less stable compared to Luo Cailing's methods, feeling somewhat fluctuant and unstable.

Following Qingyunzi, the other dozen or so practitioners capable of fighting all unleashed their explosive abilities. Various powerful auras burst in the sky, and various divine techniques rained down on the bone dragon.

The bone dragon was suppressed, but soon two more bone dragons crawled out from the blood pool below, tipping the scales once again, turning the seemingly one-sided battle into chaos.

Meanwhile, Bexia, relying on the effect of the Dream Flower, cautiously approached the Magic Tree. Since it could control the vine blood dragon and the blood bone dragon in battle, it indicated the Magic Tree itself possessed considerable intelligence. Hence, Bexia and Yue dared not approach brazenly but had to tread carefully, inching closer to the Magic Tree stealthily.

"We're close!" Bexia was slightly excited, perhaps due to the thrill of sneaking around.

"Rustle, rustle!" However, the Magic Tree seemed alert. Although the power of the Dream Flower could deceive its senses, an inherent sense of danger prompted it to make probing attacks, shedding crimson leaves to survey the surroundings.

"No! We're going to be discovered like this!" Yue frowned as she watched the falling leaves. "I'll attract the Magic Tree's attention; you find an opportunity to get closer!"

Yue immediately revealed herself, destroying all the leaves around with a single sweep of her staff, inadvertently revealing Bexia, who was still hidden.

"Blood Moon!"

A crescent moon descended, summoning countless bats to clear the surroundings. They then formed into a large bat and charged towards the Magic Tree.

"Rustle, rustle!" This time, the Magic Tree shed even more leaves, creating a wall of leaves to block Yue's attack, which then consolidated into a blood-leaf dragon lunging towards Yue.

While Yue diverted the attention of the Magic Tree, Bexia swiftly closed in on the Magic Tree. This time, it was a success. Soon, Bexia was near the Magic Tree, retrieving a mechanical crossbow aiming at the tree trunk before firing!

"Swish!" This mechanical crossbow was no ordinary weapon but a Spatial Jump Crossbow. Upon firing, the arrow would jump into the space and appear directly in front of the target, making it unpredictable.

However, the only drawback was the limited range. To fully utilize its effect, closing in as Bexia did was necessary. Otherwise, why would Bexia need to sneak up on the Magic Tree?

The test tube shattered, and the green liquid inside dissipated onto the Magic Tree and vanished without a trace.

Silent... no response...
