Chapter 2079: Chapter 2034: Divine Dragon Pool
This secret realm was extremely dangerous. The Dragon God Sect didn’t station anyone here, so there was no way to determine the exact moment when the dragon qi would condense.
They could only estimate and predict a rough time through calculations.
This was also why they were allowed to come in for three days.
So Chen Yang didn’t say anything more. He casually found a rock next to the Divine Dragon Pool, sat down, and rested.
The others weren’t much different; they all sat cross‑legged nearby, ready to react the moment the dragon qi condensed.
Chen Yang didn’t want to waste time. After sitting cross‑legged on the rock, he started circulating his Cultivation Technique, absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to raise his Realm.
But the moment he began to absorb, he sensed that something was off.
The Spiritual Energy here didn’t seem pure!
It seemed to be mixed with some kind of impurity that affected one’s mind!
"Fellow Daoists, you must not cultivate beside the Divine Dragon Pool. The Spiritual Energy here is mixed with the resentment of the evil dragon. If you inhale it, at best it will cloud your mind, at worst it will damage your Dao Heart! You absolutely must not cultivate here."
Just as Chen Yang was feeling puzzled, one of the disciples from the Dragon God Sect loudly warned everyone.
Hearing this, Chen Yang hurriedly stopped cultivating.
At the same time, he quietly circulated his Cultivation Technique within his body, expelling all the impurities he had just absorbed.
The evil dragon’s cultivation was unfathomable; even after being dead for hundreds of years, its resentment still lingered like this. It absolutely couldn’t be taken lightly.
If it affected his future, it would be a huge problem.
"Right, there’s one more thing I need to make clear to everyone in advance." After warning them, the Dragon God Sect disciple didn’t stop speaking, but continued, "Every time the Divine Dragon Pool condenses dragon qi, it will form a dragon shadow! Its strength is extremely terrifying."
"All of us need to work together with one heart to eliminate it, only then can we absorb the dragon qi."
"Otherwise, if the dragon shadow grows stronger, we’ll all be in danger."
The Dragon God Sect disciple reminded them with a serious expression.
Ming Xiong from the Beast Heart Sect looked completely disdainful. "We’ve known that rule for a long time already, no need to repeat it."
The Dragon God Sect disciple felt displeased, but he feared Ming Xiong’s strength and didn’t argue with him.
"Fellow Daoist Ming Xiong, someone from a great sect like you naturally doesn’t need the reminder. But there are a few Loose Cultivator fellow Daoists here who may not be clear about these things. I speak up only as a precaution." After finishing, the Dragon God Sect disciple deliberately glanced at Chen Yang.
Among the Loose Cultivators here, the strongest was Chen Yang.
Naturally, he regarded Chen Yang as the representative of the Loose Cultivators.
When Ming Xiong heard this, his expression grew even uglier. He shot Chen Yang a very displeased look and said with even greater scorn, "Just a bunch of Loose Cultivators. If they don’t follow the rules, I’ll just wipe them out. Saves us from wasting dragon qi."
"What did you say!"
Ming Xiong’s words openly and implicitly looked down on Loose Cultivators, and were clearly aimed more at Chen Yang.
But before Chen Yang could speak, several other Loose Cultivators couldn’t hold back.
The old man Mountain Ghost, who had crossed hands with Ao Min, glared darkly. "Ming Xiong, what do you mean by that? You don’t take us Loose Cultivators seriously at all?"
"You’re right, I really don’t. If I weren’t avoiding trouble, I’d have killed you on the way in." Ming Xiong didn’t bother to conceal anything and just said it straight.
In this world, anyone who could cultivate to the Spirit Gathering Realm was no ordinary person.
Let alone those who had been screened layer by layer to enter the Divine Dragon Pool.
Hearing such provocation from Ming Xiong, every Loose Cultivator was furious, faces dark with anger and righteous indignation.
They were about to start fighting on the spot.
In the end, it was the Dragon God Sect disciple who stepped in to persuade them. "Everyone, the dragon shadow is extremely powerful! It’s not easy to deal with! Now is not the time for infighting; we need unity."
"Hmph, Ming Xiong, for the sake of our Dragon God Sect friends, this old man won’t bother with you. Otherwise I’d let you taste the power of my Ghost Shadow Technique." The old man Mountain Ghost snorted coldly.
"Heh, just a crude movement technique. I can shatter it with one punch."
Ming Xiong sneered.
The old man Mountain Ghost was furious, but he didn’t say anything more.
Because at this moment, the water of the Divine Dragon Pool had started to churn, countless bubbles rising from below.
In an instant, the entire pool was like a pot of boiling water, roiling and seething.
"Everyone, the dragon qi is about to condense. Do not let your guard down." The Dragon God Sect disciple stared nervously at the Divine Dragon Pool.
Seeing this, Chen Yang also got down from the rock and walked to the edge of the pool.
Gurgle gurgle...
Bubbles rolled across the surface of the water, and before long, the baleful aura in the air grew increasingly dense.
Fortunately, everyone present was an expert at the late stage of Spirit Gathering and could remain unaffected; otherwise they would definitely be corrupted by this baleful aura and fall into the demonic path.
The baleful aura grew stronger and stronger, and the pool water boiled more and more violently.
Nobody knew how much time had passed when suddenly a powerful burst of gas erupted from the pool!
Once it broke through the surface, it rapidly condensed together, turning into a true dragon shadow!
Long whiskers, mane, dragon horns—a living, blood-red true dragon.
It was on a completely different level from the little white flood dragon they had killed before.
"Fellow Daoists, strike together while it hasn’t fully condensed. If it completes its condensation, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The Dragon God Sect disciple was the first to react. With an angry shout, he decisively attacked.
He pushed out his palm, and Spiritual Energy surged endlessly from his body.
The others reacted one after another and also began using Spiritual Power to suppress the dragon shadow.
Roar!!!
As soon as the dragon shadow condensed, it let out a dragon’s roar!
Sharp and mournful, yet shaking the heart.
The most terrifying thing was the aura on its body!
Having just condensed, it already possessed the strength of a Spirit Gathering peak expert—extremely terrifying.
And more importantly, this aura was still continuously climbing; nobody knew at what level it would stop.
Fortunately, everyone struck together, attacking with Spiritual Energy.
They forcibly weakened the dragon shadow’s rise.
Every time an attack landed on the dragon shadow’s body, the blood‑red hue on it would fade a little...
"Everyone, put in more strength and blast it apart!" The Dragon God Sect disciple roared again, now using both hands, frantically unleashing Spiritual Power attacks.
Zhao Tiangang even drew his treasured sword, using his Swordsmanship to further weaken the momentum of the dragon qi.
Feng Nihuang stood together with Chen Yang; the two of them were also doing their utmost to bombard it.
Roar!!
The dragon shadow’s rising aura was indeed being suppressed, but it was growing increasingly violent.
Seeing that it could no longer raise its Realm, the dragon shadow actually stopped increasing its power. Instead, it roared and turned to attack the people at the edge of the pool.
The first to bear the brunt were the disciples of Divine Dragon Mountain.
Dragon Shadow Breath—an arc of baleful aura shot out like a cannonball, blasting toward the three disciples of Divine Dragon Mountain.
"Everyone, help us!"
The three Divine Dragon Mountain disciples were shocked. They immediately stopped casting their spells and huddled together to resist this attack.
But the people around them, upon hearing their cry for help, didn’t move at all.
Only Chen Yang swiftly drew the Stone-Cutting Sword and slashed out a strand of Sword Qi.
Boom!
The Sword Qi directly shattered that blast of baleful aura!
This scene left everyone present stunned!
Such a violent baleful aura had actually been shattered by a single sword strike?
Could it be that Sword Qi had a restraining effect on this kind of baleful aura?
Everyone had this thought flash through their minds.
