Chapter 183: Nanming Lihuo Sword Technique!_2
Not good, did the Daoist of the Taiyin purposely lure me here?
BOOM—
The void suddenly trembled. A mighty aura that resonated with the Dao burst forth from its depths, layer upon layer, sweeping through the world.
CRACK!
The next moment, a terrifying dragon head as large as a small mountain emerged. A pair of shattered-gold eyes slowly turned, and his overwhelmingly mighty aura caused the void to creak and groan under his weight.
Flood Dragon King?
Who would have thought that buried within this unremarkable spring lay the machinations of the Nu River Demon King? A grave expression appeared on Cheng Junie's face.
The Flood Dragon King was a notorious Demon Monarch of the Dao Body Realm! Dominating the Nu River for so many years, even Dianchuan Military Governor Gao Tianxiong had not dealt with him, clearly showing he was no ordinary Dao expert.
Moreover, rumors had been spreading in recent years: this old Flood Dragon had obtained several relics of a True Dragon and was preparing to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
A top Demon King, indeed!
"A blood-stained junior, how dare you spoil the source of my Nu River! Seeking death!"
As his gaze locked onto Cheng Junie in midair, the Flood Dragon King's whiskers flew about, and his shattered-gold eyes flashed with an ice-cold murderous intent. In an instant, the air temperature plummeted to freezing point. Visible traces of ice rapidly spread across the void—a truly terrifying sight!
This was the terror of a Dao Expert. Without needing to lift a hand, a mere thought could trigger sudden, strange phenomena.
BOOM!
Boundless demonic qi filled heaven and earth as giant yellow waves rolled in. Amidst this raging torrent, Cheng Junie retracted the eight hundred li of fiery clouds. His sleeve vibrated, revealing a gold-red flying sword radiating divine light and fierce flames, which he ruthlessly slashed out. CHII—
Water and fire collided, hissing continuously, as vast white steam billowed tumultuously!
"Sword Sect technique? Hmph! Then today, you leave me no choice but to eliminate you!"
Noticing that Cheng Junie was a Sword Cultivator, the Flood Dragon King's murderous intent intensified!
In the Middle Ancient Era, the Demonic Path dominated, and it was known as the dark world! However, as that Sword Cultivator who proclaimed himself Li Zhexian rose from obscurity and drew his sword, a sweeping reckoning that enveloped the heavens and the earth began abruptly.
One man, one sword, looking down upon the universe!
The Near Ancient Era was illuminated by his radiance alone. The Sword Sect, established in the Central State, overpowered the world and launched a sustained extermination against Demons. If Li Zhexian hadn't suddenly disappeared later, the Sword Sect might truly have slain every Demonic Evil Cultivator in the world, leaving none alive.
Thus, since the Near Ancient Era, Demonic Evil Cultivators have regarded all Sword Cultivators as thorns in their eyes, thorns in their flesh. The moment they encounter one, they will try by all means to kill them.
"Die!"
A Dragon Claw, filled with limitless ferocious demonic qi and covered in ancient scales, violently reached out as if it could penetrate miles of mountains and rivers. Space was torn apart inch by inch. Black miasma stained the void, making the sky flicker between light and shadow, as if it had plunged into the depths of an abyssal valley.
"Southern Bright Separation Fire, expel evil and slay demons! Rise!"
Seeing the Flood Dragon King's attack, Cheng Junie dared not take it lightly. With one hand wielding his sword and the other forming a sword technique, the gold-red fiery giant sword in his hand instantly split into thousands of sword shadows. They shot up into the sky, merging to form a Southern Bright Separation Fire Sword Formation!
A deafening roar, as if intending to punch a hole in the sky, swept across a thousand-li radius. Trapped within the Southern Bright Separation Fire Sword Formation, the Flood Dragon King looked up to the sky and let out an angry roar. Rings of tangible, terrifying demonic aura mixed with Dragon Power converged into circular shockwaves that erupted instantly, sweeping in all directions.
In an instant, it tore the entire Southern Bright Separation Fire Sword Formation to shreds! Sparks extinguished; the Sword Array crumbled!
This was the absolute disparity in strength. The Southern Bright Separation Fire Sword Formation, which Cheng Junie had unleashed with all his might, was shattered by a single roar from the Flood Dragon King.
Unbeatable!
Having witnessed the terrifying power of this top-tier Demon King, Cheng Junie felt an urge to retreat arise within him. But this entire area, with a radius of three thousand li, had already been enveloped by an array formation the Flood Dragon King had laid in advance. Moreover, the difficulty of escaping right under the eyes of such a top-tier Demon Monarch of the Dao Body Realm was as hard as ascending to the heavens!
If it really comes to this, I'll have to...
A flicker in his eyes, Cheng Junie flipped his hand, revealing a bracelet strung with five colorful beads, each glowing with Divine Light.
"The Five Elements, the five methods, creation and annihilation of the five! Be extinguished!"
Reciting a passage of ancient scripture, a mysterious and grand character suddenly appeared on each of the five colorful beads of the bracelet in Cheng Junie's hand.
HUMMM—
The void trembled lightly as Cheng Junie abruptly threw the five-colored bracelet toward the Flood Dragon King!
THUD!
The area within a hundred li shook abruptly.
The next second, a colossal red Spiritual Pearl, over three hundred meters wide, descended from the sky. Like a meteor trailing a long tail of fire, it crashed mightily onto the Flood Dragon King's head!
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
Following the first, four more Spiritual Pearls smashed down relentlessly. The terrifying impact, carrying the profound power of the Five Elements' creation and annihilation, struck the Flood Dragon King so hard his eyes rolled back, and he lapsed into a brief stupor.
This is my chance!
Seizing the moment while the Flood Dragon King was stunned, Cheng Junie transformed into a streak of light. Imitating the Taiyin Skill, he too plunged into the source spring of the Nu River!
In less than half a second, the Flood Dragon King regained consciousness, but Cheng Junie was already gone without a trace.
Gone?
A low growl came from his throat, and his shattered-gold pupils slowly scanned before him. Even the most advanced concealment and escape arts would be useless before these Dragon Eyes; there was nowhere to hide.
Not here?
With a tone of astonished doubt, the Flood Dragon King's eyes moved. How could a mere blood-stained junior escape from his sight in half a second? And how could he break through my Thousand-Li Yellow Torrent Great Array?
Scanning the surroundings, the Flood Dragon King's gaze gradually locked onto the source spring behind him.
He let out a soft "Eh?" of surprise. As if he had discovered something unusual about the source spring, a trace of astonishment suddenly appeared in the Flood Dragon King's eyes!
