Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chapter 1563: Chapter 1563: Flood Dragon Shi Beach

Due to the water attribute supply from the Chongxiao River, the methods of the three Heavenly Rank Array Masters appeared somewhat laughable at this moment, as they all realized they had been toyed with by that You He.

Countless array flags exploded, and the backlash force caused Mo Yu and the others to be blasted backward, looking extremely grim, except for Li Yunfan, the strongest among them.

Originally, they thought that with the power of the three Heavenly Rank Array Masters, they could forcibly break the so-called Sky-covering Water Formation. At that time, numerous human powerhouses would rush in, ensuring that the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He would face overwhelming defeat.

But who would have thought that You He had already prepared for this, relying on the Sky Passage River to set up this Sky-covering Water Formation, rendering even the three Heavenly Rank Array Masters’ efforts fruitless.

Now it seemed, You He was determined to go down a dark path, and if Yun Xiao did not appear, no one could easily enter this Sky-covering Water Formation.

With the continuous supply of water from the Chongxiao River, anyone who wants to break the array must first drain the entire river dry, but how is that possible?

Chongxiao River has existed since ancient times at the northernmost part of the Tenglong Continent, where the other side is completely unseen. It is said that the other side is the legendary Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, the most supreme plane of Nine Dragons Continent.

Therefore, considering draining the Chongxiao River, no one entertained such a possibility, and seeing the grim expressions of the three, including Lu Yanji, everyone had come to understand one thing.

"It seems now, all we can do is wait!"

The Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, Ouyang Wuantong, looked somewhat displeased, but he made a conclusion at this time, which many heads of sect families deeply agreed with.

"I wonder, can Master Yun break this so-called grand water array?"

Suddenly, the Dean of the Sky Poison Institute, Qingmu Wu, opened his mouth, causing Lu Yanji and Qian Sanyuan beside him to ponder, as they really couldn’t answer this question easily.

"Difficult!"

Just when these few were lost in thought, a voice suddenly came from the side. It turned out to be Li Yunfan, the Island Master of Ling Kong Island, who had returned at some unknown time and clearly heard Qingmu Wu’s words.

"The Sky-covering Water Formation is a large water attribute array set up by You He, relying on the continuous reinforcement of Chongxiao River. Without draining this river, even an Advanced Heavenly Rank Array Master might not be able to break it!"

Li Yunfan is an Intermediate Heavenly Rank Array Master who had heard of Yun Xiao’s performance in the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield and knew the so-called Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array’s formidable power, yet he has never seen Yun Xiao’s true array methods.

Therefore, Li Yunfan said this. Based on his understanding of array formations, after personally trying the Sky-covering Water Formation backed by Chongxiao River, he naturally knew how formidable it could be.

"Heh, that might not be the case!"

Li Yunfan spoke convincingly, but as soon as his voice fell, a light chuckle of disbelief came from the side, from Qian Sanyuan, Vice President of the Meridian Refining Master Association.

Among those who might understand Yun Xiao best, perhaps it was this Vice President who knew Yun Xiao from the Hidden Dragon Continent. Compared to Li Yunfan, he had seen more of Yun Xiao’s abilities, for sure.

At least in Qian Sanyuan’s heart, there was nothing Yun Xiao couldn’t do, especially in meridian refining technique or array formation; that guy seemed omnipotent.

"Then let’s wait for Yun Xiao to come and give it a try!"

Li Yunfan had a trace of disbelief deep in his eyes, but he did not refute at this time. After all, he hadn’t seen the facts. In truth, he also valued that young man named Yun Xiao quite a lot.

"But if Yun Xiao arrives, there’s no need to break the array!"

At this time, Mo Yu, the Second Elder of Ling Kong Island, also approached and chimed in, pointing towards the figures within the Stepping Heavenly Stone.

"Hanyi, Xiaoqing!"

At this sight, Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu became quite melancholic. Earlier, they intended to break the array first, not without the intention of first rescuing Liu Hanyi and the others.

After all, those two were the most prized disciples of Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan, yet they were imprisoned by the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He on the Stepping Heavenly Stone, and who knows when they could escape?

Mo Yu’s words meant that You He’s target was Yun Xiao. If Yun Xiao came, there might be no need to break the array, as he could be directly allowed inside by You He.

Considering this, Lu Yanji couldn’t help but feel conflicted, secretly thinking that when they parted at the Spirit Fighting Commerce headquarters, Yun Xiao had just broken through to the Peak of Lingyun Realm.

In these one or two months, even if the three-month period arrived, Yun Xiao’s chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Realm was extremely slim. Facing the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You He then, the outcome was really uncertain.

In fact, it wasn’t hard to predict. If it weren’t for the heaven-defying techniques demonstrated by Yun Xiao, no one would believe that a human cultivator at the peak of the Lingyun Realm could be a match for a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit.

Even Lu Yanji, a powerful human at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Realm, wouldn’t dare claim he could single-handedly take down the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River.

His initial plan was to break the turtle shell Sky-covering Water Formation, and then everyone would charge in together. No matter how many arms and heads the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit You River had, it would ultimately be torn to pieces by the human race.

But now, with the existence of the Sky-covering Water Formation, it seemed impossible for the humans to use numbers to their advantage. Additionally, if Yun Xiao arrived, You River might directly let Yun Xiao into the formation for a "fair and just" head-to-head battle.

However, thinking too much at this moment was pointless. Understanding this truth, Lu Yanji could only wait patiently with the other strong individuals, and as time passed, their mood grew increasingly despondent.

......

Similarly, at a certain section of the Chongxiao River.

This place is several thousand miles west of the Stepping Heavenly Stone of the Chongxiao River. Speaking of this place, many human cultivators nearby wouldn’t find it too unfamiliar.

This section of the Chongxiao River has a special and terrifying name: "Flood Dragon Shi Beach," which implies that if someone accidentally strayed here, there’s a high likelihood of being devoured by a fierce flood dragon within the Chongxiao River.

Flood Dragon Shi Beach is named for the ferocious flood dragon. It not only causes the vein demons passing by to suffer casualties but also won’t spare any passing human cultivators.

Over time, generally, no one dared to come to Flood Dragon Shi Beach, but today, shadows of people could be seen on the Shi Beach. Their expressions were both solemn and excited as if they were waiting for something.

It was just after nightfall, and on Flood Dragon Shi Beach, numerous figures stood, all gazing at the eastern horizon, watching the increasingly white and bright place.

If no one dared to approach Flood Dragon Shi Beach on ordinary days, on the full moon night of the fifteenth of every month, it became a Feng Shui treasure land.

Because on this day, the fierce flood dragon doesn’t devour anyone. On this night, it emerges from the water to absorb the essence of the moonlight.

The fierce flood dragon resides beneath the Chongxiao River and is a water attribute vein demon. The moonlight, being yin, plays a significant role in aiding the flood dragon to break through to a Great Rank and evolve once more.

Each time the flood dragon absorbs the essence of moonlight, it emits a unique dan energy. There was once a human cultivator who inadvertently entered here while the flood dragon was absorbing moonlight essence, thereby achieving a breakthrough.

When the news spread that the human, using the Flood Dragon Pill’s energy, successfully broke through from the Peak of the Earth Bending Realm to the Early Stage of the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm, countless people finally realized that Flood Dragon Shi Beach wasn’t just about danger.

Since then, countless cultivators from the Northern Domain of Tenglong Continent have researched a pattern over time. Every full moon night, the flood dragon appears to absorb the essence of the moonlight, marking their great opportunity.

The human cultivators standing on Flood Dragon Shi Beach were at least at the Early Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, and there were even several at the Heavenly Rank Realm. They all wanted to use the flood dragon’s inner core energy to advance further.

It was just after nightfall, and the full moon hadn’t yet risen above the eastern horizon, making everyone anxious, their hearts pounding with unease, wondering if anything unexpected might occur this time.

Absorbing the essence of the moonlight by the fierce flood dragon isn’t without danger. There was once a Heavenly Rank cultivator at the Floating Life Realm who, in haste, tried to absorb the Flood Dragon Pill’s energy prematurely, infuriating the flood dragon and ended up being torn to pieces.

Since then, even those wishing to try their luck on a full moon night have become extremely cautious, not daring to make a sound for fear of following in that cultivator’s footsteps.

"The moon is out!"

As a somewhat deep voice sounded, everyone looked up to see that a full moon was already half-visible over the distant eastern riverbank, causing their hearts to fill with unparalleled excitement.

Swish, swish, swish...

At the same time, the Chongxiao River, which had only the sound of flowing water just moments ago, suddenly swelled, as if someone had ignited a fierce flame at the riverbed, attempting to boil the entire river.

Many cultivators, being experienced, instinctively took a step back as they saw the river’s water change, holding their breath.

Because they all knew, with the rise of the full moon, that unparalleled fierce flood dragon was about to appear. Even though they knew there was no danger tonight, the dragon’s notorious reputation still made their hearts tremble.

Hiss!

A moment later, the river water at a certain point of the Chongxiao River suddenly surged, and a gigantic dragon head emerged from the river water, appearing menacing and eerie.

Upon seeing the massive dragon head, countless human cultivators, including those few Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm experts, wore grave expressions. Even though the dragon’s gaze wasn’t directed at them, they sensed an incredibly strong pressure.
