Chapter 1228: Unleashing the Trump Card!
Endless blood sprayed out, each drop capable of piercing the void.
This Heavenly Nether Bird is truly an Ancient Demon Beast; the energy in its blood is so powerful that this space simply can't withstand it.
Witnessing this scene, the Dark Red Divine Dragon was overjoyed, quickly performing an array to collect all the spilled blood.
This blood was not the Essence Blood of the Heavenly Nether Bird, just ordinary blood.
Nonetheless, it contained astonishing energy, and if a sufficient amount could be collected, the Dark Red Divine Dragon could completely refine it into Essence Blood.
Thus, he didn't waste any of this blood, gathering it as much as possible.
"Damn reptile, you think you can covet my blood?"
Seeing this, the Heavenly Nether Bird was furious; he couldn't believe a crawling snake dared to plot against his blood — truly courting death!
The next moment, black flames rolled on his palm, quickly stopping the wound.
Afterward, he looked at the Dark Red Divine Dragon, snorting coldly.
"Vile reptile, die for me!"
Endless Demon King might surged forth, charging at the Dark Red Divine Dragon.
To the Heavenly Nether Bird, the opponent was just a little crawling snake, incapable of resisting his pressure.
Surely, in the next moment, the opponent would be crushed into blood mist by that invisible pressure.
But quickly, he was stunned.
Because the Dark Red Divine Dragon was completely unharmed, his pressure was like sinking stones into the sea.
"What, how is this possible!"
The Heavenly Nether Bird was shocked, discovering that these two individuals before him were truly bizarre.
First was a mysterious young man, capable of controlling the Azure Pine Sword, and now a crawling snake appeared, also unafraid of his pressure.
"Impossible, how can this be!"
Between Demon Beasts, the hierarchy is strict. With my power, pressure alone should crush him, but why is he unharmed!
"Could it be that I've slept for too long and this world has changed?"
The Heavenly Nether Bird was extremely angry; as an Ancient Heavenly List Demon Beast, he was infamous in Ancient Times.
Even Kings would bow before him, but now, having just broken free, he suffers a huge loss at the hands of two reptiles.
He couldn't tolerate this.
Yet the Dark Red Divine Dragon coldly sneered: "Stupid bird, trying to pressure the Emperor... you're still too green."
After speaking, he raised his head and roared at the Heavenly Nether Bird.
Suddenly, a deep dragon roar echoed, carrying endless Dragon Power, sweeping across Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The next moment, the massive body of the Heavenly Nether Bird trembled slightly.
"Impossible, how can this be!"
The Heavenly Nether Bird was shocked; he couldn't believe a crawling snake could make him tremble.
This wasn't a power suppression; it was a suppression from the depths of his bloodline.
This suppression drove the Heavenly Nether Bird nearly mad.
"Dragon Clan, this is Dragon Clan suppression!"
The Heavenly Nether Bird's face was filled with shock, glaring at the Dark Red Divine Dragon: "You're not a crawling snake; you are Dragon Clan!"
He was utterly shocked, having thought that the creature he assumed to be a crawling snake was actually Dragon Clan.
Moreover, judging by the opponent's Bloodline Power, it seemed very pure.
But quickly, he laughed arrogantly.
"Hahaha, Heaven is helping me! Originally trapped for thousands of years, with my strength greatly reduced, I was wondering how to recover my power, and I unexpectedly encountered Dragon Clan."
"And it's a weak Dragon Clan."
"Little creature, once I devour you, not only can I restore my power, but my bloodline will also advance. Perhaps I'll become another Daxia Longque!"
The Heavenly Nether Bird was extremely excited; he was a descendant of the Daxia Longque, albeit with a diluted bloodline.
If he could acquire Dragon Clan blood, perhaps he'd once again become a Daxia Longque, reaching the Ancestor Returning Realm.
And once he became a Daxia Longque, he'd truly be the Overlord of heaven and earth, with none able to stop him!
Thinking of this, endless light erupted in his eyes; terrifying giant claws lashed downward, determined to catch the Dark Red Divine Dragon.
But the Dark Red Divine Dragon, akin to nimble lightning, swiftly dodged.
"Stupid bird, though the Emperor's power is greatly diminished, you're not capable of catching me."
The Dark Red Divine Dragon snorted coldly.
Despite his reduced power, he still possessed numerous secret techniques, enough for him to escape successfully.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan also slowly wielded the Azure Pine Sword, preparing to attack again.
Having discovered now that if the Heavenly Nether Bird is injured and the Dark Red Divine Dragon gathers sufficient blood, he can condense Essence Blood.
His goal would then be half accomplished.
Add to that the Dark Red Divine Dragon's activity, which inspired him: since blood can condense into Essence Blood, surely countless black flames can also condense into true Original Flames!
Thus, Lin Xuan gripped the Azure Pine Sword and activated the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod, absorbing the black flames from the Heavenly Nether Bird.
"Courting death!"
The Heavenly Nether Bird was furious; he couldn't believe not only failing to capture the Dark Red Divine Dragon, but the young man dared target the flames on his body!
This enraged him beyond measure, so temporarily, he abandoned catching the Dark Red Divine Dragon, deciding to kill Lin Xuan first.
After all, the Azure Pine Sword in Lin Xuan's hand posed a considerable threat to him.
Seeing the Heavenly Nether Bird's focus shift again, Lin Xuan didn't hesitate, swiftly swinging the Azure Pine Sword, cutting downward with all his might.
This strike, like the previous one, he only utilized the power of the Great Dragon Sword Soul, coupled with the sharpness of the Azure Pine Sword; he didn't utilize the energy within the Azure Pine Sword.
Knowing, of course, that such energy can only be used three times; it must be employed at the most critical moment.
And now was not that time.
Even though he couldn't utilize the energy in the Azure Pine Sword, the Great Dragon Sword Soul, combined with the Earth-rank Treasure's sharpness, wielded unimaginable power.
Swaths of Sword Qi crisscrossed, enveloping the heavens, while terrifying sword light slashed toward the Heavenly Nether Bird.
The Heavenly Nether Bird also roared repeatedly, surging power toward the sky, shattering thousands of sweeping sword lights before quickly attacking Lin Xuan.
Their battle was incredibly fierce, utterly obliterating the energy within the entire sky.
This time, however, the Heavenly Nether Bird was sufficiently prepared, making it difficult for Lin Xuan to land a blow.
Seeing the opponent's aura grow, but failing to support his own side adequately, Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, deciding to activate the energy within the Azure Pine Sword.
The next moment, the Azure Pine Sword in his hand erupted with radiant light: towering Sword Light like emerald flames, filling the sky with echoing sounds.
Grinding his teeth, Lin Xuan swiftly swung his sword.
A massive Sword Qi struck forward, instantly reducing dozens of palaces to ashes.
These palaces were structures within the Azure Pine Hall, extremely solid, unable to be hurt by Kings below.
Yet now, under the residual power of the Sword Qi, countless constructs shattered instantly.
This strike was terrifying, containing the power of both the Great Dragon Sword Soul and the energy within the Azure Pine Sword, turning everything into void.
Seemingly sensing the fearful nature of this power, the Heavenly Nether Bird's expression changed; he couldn't fathom the opponent capable of wielding such Sword Qi.
This power was beyond Venerable, capable of threatening him.
