Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184: The Candle Dragon Appears
As soon as Long Taichu’s command was issued, all races’ armies moved swiftly. In the Beast Race of the two major realms, Taoism and Magic, the Dragon Race holding a commanding position must bear its responsibilities in times of crisis amidst enjoying power and prestige. Clan leaders and elders of various Dragon Race clans obey the order to step forward to restrain the giant blood man’s area of action, buying time for the army to escape the Sea of Blood.
Without a doubt, Long Taichu’s decision was correct. The Blood Race’s magic is most suitable for use in mass battles; the more people gather, the more bloodlines are devoured, and the stronger the power of blood poison becomes. Long Taichu promptly withdrew the army, cutting off its spreading trend, then deployed experts to jointly encircle it. Even the strongest Sea of Blood would be worn down in the siege.
Long Taichu understood this principle; Delacuri, who executed this magic, understood it even better. Therefore, upon seeing Long Taichu issue the command, he subtly flicked his fingers downward, causing the Sea of Blood to stop converging toward the blood-red giant and instead condensing from the Sea of Blood figures of Blood Demon Red Armor Warriors, the Dark Race, and blood-red silhouettes and beast shadows from various races in the Dragon Realm. These faceless creatures formed purely from blood poison leaped out of the Sea of Blood and quickly ran toward the surrounding, engaging those soldiers who were retreating. They disregarded any attacks toward them; as long as they crashed into the enemy, the blood poison would rapidly erode the opponent’s body. This way, the previously orderly retreating army fell back into chaos.
Delacuri’s maneuver successfully diverted the attention of most experts in the Dragon Realm, easing the pressure on Bai Ze’s side. Just as the blood-red giant and the frenzied Saraf turned the battlefield into chaos, with Long Taichu overwhelmed with worry, intense spatial fluctuations in the sky on the Dragon Realm’s perimeter drew Pei Yan and others’ attention. Sensing the aura emitted from the space rift that was about to open, Pei Yan and Long Taichu’s side showed solemn expressions, whereas Bai Ze and others collectively let out a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although this is the Dragon Realm’s perimeter, where spatial restrictions are not as densely concentrated and heavily guarded as inside the Dragon Palace, it is nonetheless within the Dragon Realm. Its spatial defense layout is far beyond comparison with other regions. This is why the Blood Demon Army, even after entering the Spirit Monster Plane, still chose to perform spatial jumps closer to the Dragon Realm, rather than directly attacking the Dragon Realm.
And now, the sturdy spatial defense barrier was like being struck over and over by a heavy hammer wielded by someone. Accompanied by each heart-stirring dull hammering sound, the spatial restrictions were shaken open, crack after crack, until the final hammer fell, all sounds ceased, and a huge Space Passage cracked open in the sky above the Dragon Realm. The invading otherworld source energy and the dense Dragon Realm source energy interacted, producing fierce confrontation reactions. Dark red and light green intertwined source energies emitted eerie glows, forming source energy vortices of varying sizes with space fragments around the spatial rift’s edge.
"This is truly the worst-case scenario!" Pei Yan could feel the wave of source energy emitted from the other side of the spatial rift, took a deep breath, and said with a headache.
Candle Dragon! It is the Master of Origin from the Blood Demon Plane coming through this Space Passage, yet on our side, not a single Master of Origin is present!
This is the might of the Master of Origin. Clearly, the Dragon Realm had already gained absolute advantage on the battlefield, but when this space broke open, Candle Dragon’s invincible aura emanated, all could only watch helplessly as Bai Ze and others slowly retreated into the space rift, not daring to step forward to obstruct.
"Pei Yan, today’s events I will remember dearly, with sky-high water far and wide, we shall meet again someday!" Bai Ze wiped the blood streaming down his face from the sonic impact, looked at Pei Yan with an expression carrying slight pride yet entirely shaded with gloom, slightly curled the corner of his mouth in a gesture of farewell.
"Alright, after taking some losses, if Teacher wants to, he can help you reclaim it. Today, you did well. Master is quite pleased; return now, this place is unsuitable for prolonged stay; I still have many tasks awaiting your action!" Candle Dragon’s voice came pampering from the spatial rift; obviously, compared to Nero and others, he’s particularly invested in this disciple.
Having finished speaking, as if sensing Pei Yan’s eagerness where he stood, a surge of power swept out from the spatial rift, bypassing Bai Ze and others, directly attacking the Dragon Realm’s army experts.
The oppressive force during the Sword Discussion Conference, when Master of Origin K from the Magic Realm only needed to exert his pressure to make Pei Yan kneel and confess mistakes, had been a lifelong humiliation for Pei Yan. From then on, he no longer contented himself being below a Master of Origin, genuinely nurturing thoughts of surpassing a Master of Origin!
Although this time only a short period had transpired since the last occurrence, Pei Yan completed breaking through to an eighth-level awakening within such a brief duration, integrating the three abilities within the air system and signing a symbiotic contract with Hu Jiu. With this rapidly soaring strength recently, Pei Yan was no longer powerless against a Master of Origin and, at the very least, qualified to face them directly now.
A Master of Origin’s oppressive force is akin to a milestone for testing personal strength. As the power approached, most individuals in the air couldn’t endure, retreating rapidly. Those reacting sluggishly were pressured by the force from the air to the ground, paralyzed. A portion of clan leaders and Long Jin Golden Phoenix Feather managed to stabilize themselves by retreating ten paces, bitterly sustaining. Ultimately, those who could withstand the pressure head-on were only Pei Yan, connected by aura with Hu Jiu, Dragon Race Leader Long Taichu, and some high-level Divine Beast Race clan leaders, barely a few.
"Hahaha, Pei Yan! Your progress truly astounds me; I’ve kept a close watch on you since your birth, cultivating my disciples. But every time I believed my disciples were excellent enough to defeat you, your progress continuously exceeded my expectations. Now you’ve even signed a symbiotic contract—I suspect this Spirit Monster Plane’s power of origin will soon fall into your hands! What was your teacher Lin Junzhao thinking? Does she truly wish you to transcend the limits of ordinary beings, fabricating an extraneous Master of Origin?"
"What my elder sister is thinking isn’t something you should inquire from me, but should ask her directly!" Facing the oppressive force’s restraint, Pei Yan continuously unleashed his power in retaliation. However, with each ounce he emitted, Candle Dragon’s force intensified further, until Pei Yan felt his strength nearly depleted, a flash of insight reminded him of the oppressive momentum he absorbed in the Heavenly Guardian Pavilion, without hesitation he suddenly released this aura and gradually extended his presence, aiming to connect with the aura of surrounding experts to mobilize the entire Dragon Realm’s aura for his utilization.
