Chapter 974: Settling Accounts with the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon

Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Settling Accounts with the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon

Universal Realm, Dongjie Continent.

The Immortal Mountain occupied by the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon was originally as majestic as Jade Spring Mountain, but now it has been reduced significantly; the mountain’s midsection to its peak has disappeared.

For two to three hundred years, the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon had awakened several times, devouring large chunks of the mountain before falling asleep again. Until today, this Sixth Order Peak great demon is still slumbering, its snores echoing like Heavenly Thunder, affecting the natural phenomena in this area!

"Boom!"

It sounded like a massive mountain crashing into the sea, with nature’s spiritual energy fluctuating violently like ocean waves.

Immortal light shot from the void, followed by the gradual emergence of an enormous jade sphere, full of formation prohibition, silently hovering over the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon’s head.

This object is the Jade Wheel Palace, which was temporarily halted from repair by the Red Flame Sect two hundred years ago for the construction of the barriers between two realms and the Stars Circulation Array; however, later on, as the Nanke Spirit Land gradually gained control over the manpower and resources of the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms, the sect managed to complete the previously delayed restoration work, and it was almost repaired thirty years ago.

The immortal light gradually faded, revealing Shen Mo’s figure.

Beside him stood Chen Mengze, Qian Xiaofeng, Yuan Heming, Zhou Zhiwei, Gongsun Jiuru, Yuan Jing, Jin Chinian, Jiang Lingfeng, Guo Xun, and others. Besides them, there were also over twelve hundred sect disciples in the Celestial Palace, all possessing Spirit Sea Realm and above cultivation!

Closer inspection reveals they all hail from the Riverside Sect, with no other Thriving Gold Sect cultivators from the Red Flame Zone.

Back when the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon descended upon the Primordial Realm, devouring more than half of Qing State, including outer disciples, the Riverside Sect approximately had a million disciples, almost the entirety of Qing State’s survivors.

Because the Riverside Sect was located in Qing State, most of the disciples are residents of Qing State.

Arguably, everyone in the Riverside Sect holds an unresolved blood feud with the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon, as their relatives, kin, close friends, and acquaintances were tragically killed by it!

Shen Mo is no exception. His father Shen Yuanchang’s origin from the Shen Family in Tianyou City, Qian Xingji from Jiyun Town, Tao Dong and Tian Shouren from Hongye City, Wei Ye and Xu Tong from Gold Toad Tower, Jiang Sheng from Thriving Gold Sect... and countless other relations, near or far, billions of Qing State creatures, all were devoured by the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon.

Over the years, sect disciples from the Riverside Sect who haven’t opened their Spirit Sea have all died of old age, leaving only these twelve hundred people in the Jade Wheel Palace.

Shen Mo initially wanted more sect disciples from the Riverside Sect to participate in this battle, to avenge the blood feud of the past.

However, in life, nine out of ten things don’t go as planned...

Even without the delay caused by Zhao Lingyin’s tribulation, he previously wasn’t confident in dealing with the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon, only gaining some confidence today. Alas, the majority of the original Riverside Sect members have died of old age.

If another hundred or two hundred years passed, perhaps those who haven’t condensed their Golden Core would also die of old age.

Therefore, shortly after returning to the Immortal Realm, Shen Mo used the Jade Wheel Palace to bring sect disciples of the Riverside Sect from Phoenix Continent to settle the grievance of the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon devouring billions of Qing State creatures!

...

"Ang!"

A heart-palpitating dragon roar rang out as the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon sensed the crisis and awoke from slumber.

It raised its head, vertical pupils coldly and indifferently measuring the Jade Wheel Palace, a hint of seriousness appeared in its eyes, violently flapped its wings, and lunged at the palace!

"Die, evil dragon!"

Shen Mo emerged from the palace, wielding the Taiyi Sword, and delivered a slash at the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon.

Simultaneously, the twelve hundred sect cultivators, including Chen Mengze and Qian Xiaofeng, collectively activated the formation prohibitions on the palace, attacking the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon.

Upon sensing the terrifying Universe sword Qi, the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon did not attempt to resist directly; its massive body flipped in the air, narrowly avoiding the sword Qi’s attack, then opened its mouth and spat, the intangible and formless dragon roar waves shattered the Crystal Brahma Flame on Shen Mo, causing his vitality to surge and soul to tremble!

Had it been an ordinary Formless Realm cultivator struck by the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon’s dragon roar skill, their Dao Body would likely be instantly torn apart, and the three souls and seven spirits would detach and fly out.

Shen Mo circulated his cultivation method, numerous phenomena manifested on his body, instantly stabilizing his Dao Body and soul. With a flick of his wrist, seven inch-long small swords whistled out, forming The Big Dipper Array, trapping the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon.

The Jade Wheel Palace also reached the serpent’s side, sheets of blood-red clouds flickering, bolts infused with destructive power struck the serpent’s body.

But this evil dragon’s cultivation level is extremely high, mere inches from the True Immortal Realm, possessing formidable skills; its dragon scales stood upright, heavy Turbid Qi and Demonic Qi dispersed, making its scales appear metallic. The palace’s attacks fell on its dragon body like Heavenly Thunder striking an Immortal Mountain, barely causing a few chips of gold dust, with no real harm inflicted!

In the next instant, the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon flapped its wings, casting spells to summon endless dark clouds obscuring the sunlight, its body trembling wildly. Countless parasitic Double-winged Flying Snakes emerged from the crevices of its scales, the gloomy parts beneath its belly, and other areas, swarming towards the Jade Wheel Palace.

These Double-winged Flying Snakes were transformed by life forms in the world, mutated by its Essence and Qi radiation, among which a Class IV Flying Snake was formed by the wall gecko false body cut out by Shen Mo.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, it seems the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon benefited greatly, among the flying snakes attacking the palace, there are quite a few Class V creatures!

Shen Mo’s eyes shone bright, activating the Pure Yang Pupil skill, where his gaze fell turned into a sea of fire; the Double-winged Flying Snakes hadn’t even approached the Jade Wheel Palace before they transformed into bright flames, burned to mere wisps of black smoke.

Before the serpent could employ more tactics, a mysterious and terrifying sword intent suddenly rose from his body.

In a flash, the giant pupils of the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon shrank, revealing a trace of fear.

"Universal Tribulation!"

...

Above Dayu Mountain, inside the Heaven Patrolling Temple, shadows crowded, not only Lady Scarlet, Qin Hu and other Divine Bridge Immortal Masters, but also numerous Golden Core True Masters waited there.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qingyun’s campaign against that Sixth Order Peak evil dragon is going smoothly?" Qin Hu constantly extended his sense towards the east, but the distance between the serpent’s mountain and Dayu Mountain was extremely far, even as a Divine Bridge Realm powerhouse, it was difficult to explore the battlefield’s status.

"Since he dared to challenge that evil dragon, naturally he is fully confident. Just be patient and wait!"

Lady Scarlet sipped Enlightenment Tea, speaking calmly, yet the excitement, joy, and anticipation in her eyes and demeanor were hard to conceal.

Two hundred years ago, Shen Mo left a Standing form at Dayu Mountain, allowing her to relieve her longing by often seeing it; when it dispersed, Shen Mo went to the Lower Realm, leaving her waiting longingly, almost every few years finding a chance to meet through Dreamland or Shen Mo’s manifested form!

Upon learning Shen Mo returned from the Lower Realm and planned to battle the Soaring Serpent and Bizarre Dragon in Dongjie Continent, her heart was overjoyed, almost igniting the Three Disasters and Six Tribulations.
