Chapter 121: Dragon Elephant Turtle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qi Ming naturally knew that it was the spirit of the grotto-heaven, the Dragon of the Desert, that had schemed against the true inheritances of the juniors present. Under the profound spell technique, Heavenly Observation, Qi Ming had already deduced everything.
It was precisely because the Dragon of the Desert had used the Yinglong Temple as bait to deal with Qi Ming that the legacy descendants of the various large factions had gathered in the Yinglong Temple.
It was also because of the desert dragon that Qi Ming was surrounded by the legacy descendants of the various large factions and so many battles happened.
Through all kinds of schemes, it wanted the descendants of the various factions to fight.
The Dragon of the Desert’s plan was not complicated. Instead, it was very simple. There were many loopholes, but the effect was extremely good. This was why it was said that the simpler the plan, the more effective it was.
Qi Ming had already used Phantom Shadow and was about to leave this troublesome place, but his tracks were exposed by the Dragon of the Desert and he was surrounded.
If not for Qi Ming’s strength and many methods, standing in an invincible position with the Purity Golden Body, he would probably have died.
To Qi Ming, the culprit was the Dragon of the Desert.
He had already awed all the legacy disciples of the younger generation present, causing them to not dare to attack anymore. They had already lost the courage to fight him.
Qi Ming planned to deal with the desert dragon.
“You can’t escape.”
Buzz!
Qi Ming waved his right hand, and Dharmic powers gathered to condense into a huge arm of Dharmic powers. It contained the True Intent of the Great Dao as it soared through the sky and grabbed at the hidden desert dragon.
Roar!
The desert dragon was extremely shocked and was forced to appear. Yellow sand filled the sky, and a huge storm rose in the desert. A desert dragon that was like the embodiment of a dragon appeared.
Boom! Boom!
The desert dragon raised a terrifying sandstorm that contained boundless spirit energy. It wanted to defeat Qi Ming’s Dharmic powers hand. Qi Ming waved his left hand, and the Sword Dao Green Lotus tore through the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish!!!
Countless sword qi destroyed the sandstorm.
“No! Stop!” The desert dragon roared in fear.
Buzz!
Qi Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed. That huge magic arm had already captured the desert dragon. It did not destroy it but used magic power to restrain it. The huge palm grabbed the desert dragon’s neck, preventing it from escaping.
“This desert dragon has been captured.”
“How did Qi Ming know where the Desert Dragon was hidden?”
“…”
The juniors of the Demon Court and the Four Seas Dragon Palace looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They did not expect Qi Ming to discover the desert dragon.
This way…
With the Dragon of the Desert captured, their plan would be ruined.
After Qi Ming suppressed everyone with absolute strength, the plan that the Dragon of the Desert had formulated with them could already be considered to have failed. It was impossible to succeed.
The elders of the various factions were all paying attention to the situation here. It was impossible for them to give the Dragon of the Desert a chance to kill the legacy disciples of the various factions.
If not for the legacy descendants of the various large factions joining forces to kill Qi Ming, causing him to attack forcefully, perhaps there would not have been so many casualties.
Since it was a battle, casualties were inevitable.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The desert shook violently.
Sand filled the sky.
In the sky and on the ground, powerful demon beasts appeared. They did not take human form but existed in the form of demon beasts. These were all native demons of the Ying Dragon Grotto-heaven.
There were too many.
At this moment, all of them appeared.
This was because Qi Ming had captured the Dragon of the Desert and destroyed its Dao technique. This allowed the surrounding hidden native demons to be exposed.
It was also because Qi Ming had captured the Dragon of the Desert that these native demons rioted and appeared to save it.
“Demon beasts! They’re demon beasts!!!”
“There are so many!”
“When did they hide in the surroundings?”
“Moreover, every one of them has reached the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm. There are even late-stage Leaving Aperture realm demon beasts.”
“Prepare for battle.”
“We’ve been tricked. The Yinglong Temple is the bait. These native demon beasts of the Yinglong Grotto-heaven actually dare to scheme against us. They’re simply courting death.”
“You want to kill us? How dare you!”
“Attack!”
Hundreds of nearly a thousand Leaving Aperture realm demon beasts had already surrounded the Yinglong Temple. After the legacy disciples of the various large factions reacted, they immediately participated in the battle.
“What bullsh*t grotto-heaven spirit is this?” Ao Qing shouted, “You’re really useless. You were discovered and captured by Qi Ming so easily.”
“Cancel the plan.”
The members of the Demon Court said in a low voice, “In the current situation, it’s impossible for us to join forces with the native demons of Yinglong Grotto-heaven. Moreover, the Dragon of the Desert has been captured. Qi Ming’s strength is too strong. We can only attack now and eliminate these native demons. We can’t expose the fact that we joined forces with them.”
“Attack!”
The Four Seas Dragon Palace and the Demon Court directly turned hostile.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
In an instant, another intense battle erupted.
This time, it was no longer a chaotic battle between the descendants of the various large factions. Instead, they joined forces to resist and kill hundreds of nearly a thousand native demons.
Roar!
At this moment, an early-stage Leaving Aperture realm native demon beast rushed in front of Qi Ming. It was huge and was a hundred meters tall. It was like a giant rock bear as it roared.
Clang!
Qi Ming pointed.
The World Piercing Sword transformed into an extremely sharp sword light that contained the power of five lightning bolts and the true intent of the Golden Core Great Dao. It was like a green light that streaked across the sky.
Pew!!!
Blood splattered.
Before this early-stage Leaving Aperture realm stone bear could approach Qi Ming, it was already killed by the World Piercing Sword. Its huge head was chopped off.
“Spirit of the grotto-heaven.”
Qi Ming looked at the desert dragon a few times and pondered for a moment before saying, “You are the spirit of the grotto-heaven nurtured by the Yinglong Grotto-heaven. You are a manifestation of the Dao. Actually, you don’t have a fixed entity.”
“The desert dragon is only a manifestation of you.”
“Because you admire the Ancient Demon Emperor, Yinglong, in your heart, you transformed into the form of Emperor Yinglong.”
“Qi Ming!”
The desert dragon’s gaze was furious. Looking at the surrounding native demons who were constantly dying, he was even more furious and almost lost his rationality, “What exactly do you want to say?!”
“Nothing,” Qi Ming shrugged. “I’m just thinking of how to completely destroy you. It’s just that I haven’t thought of it yet, but I should be able to find a way.”
“Ahhh!!!”
The desert dragon roared repeatedly, “This is the Yinglong Grotto-heaven, the Dao residence of the ancient Demon Emperor, Lord Yinglong. In the ancient era, this was the holy land of the entire Mystic World.”
“If not for the fact that Lord Demon Emperor used his body to nourish the heavens back then, you would have long been reduced to ashes.”
“I hate it! I hate it so much!”
“God, Immortal, Devil, Human, and Ghost.”
“None of them can be trusted! None of them can be trusted!”
“Pathetic.” Qi Ming shook his head, “Dragon of the Desert, the ancient era has long passed. Everything in the past has become history, but you have been immersed in history and can’t free yourself.”
“Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, the ancient Demon Emperor, Yinglong, was able to use his body that had cultivated for more than ten thousand years to mend the gap in heaven and earth and prevent a calamity. He has indeed done a lot of good.”
“You don’t know anything. You don’t know how great Lord Demon Emperor is.” The Dragon of the Desert roared again.
“The moment the Yinglong Grotto-heaven appeared, the outcome was actually predestined. In my opinion, your actions are only like a mud fish that keeps struggling.”
Qi Ming did not argue with the Dragon of the Desert. Instead, he continued, “Because the gazes of the various factions in the Southern Region and the Eastern Region are already focused here. When they know that this is the Yinglong Grotto-heaven, do you think they will sit back and do nothing?”
“The various factions have not attacked yet. They are only waiting for an opportunity.”
“Now.”
“There’s already an opportunity.”
“What did you say?”
The Dragon of the Desert was shocked and had an unbelievable expression.
Back then, Qi Ming had combined Heavenly Observation with Future Sight to see the history and future of the Yinglong Grotto-heaven and learn everything about it.
Qi Ming naturally knew what the outcome of Yinglong Grotto-heaven would be.
Roar! Roar!
At this moment, in the Yinglong Grotto-heaven.
Finally, a native demon who had reached the Soul Formation realm appeared. Moreover, only this one had reached the Soul Formation realm. This native demon lived in the deepest depths of the Yinglong River.
It had never appeared.
It had always been cultivating in seclusion.
Now, this was because it had been summoned by the spirit of the grotto-heaven, it appeared.
Boom! Boom!
The ground shook.
This was a Dragon Elephant Turtle that was like a huge island. It had the bloodline of an ancient giant elephant and a dragon. Its four limbs were thick and huge elephant limbs, like pillars that could support the sky.
It also had a huge dragon head, sinister and grand.
It was an ancient grayish-black color.
“Soul Formation!!” The Dragon of the Desert was surprised.
“This is a Soul Formation demon beast.”
“Be careful.”
“This is troublesome.”
“The strength of a Soul Formation demon beast is extraordinary. Even if it’s only at the early-stage Soul Formation realm, it’s not something we can deal with. Break through immediately and leave this place.”
“Okay!”
“Prepare to break through.”
The legacy descendants of the various factions immediately made their decision.
“Junior Brother Qi.” Tang Binshun shouted, “The Soul Formation demon beast has appeared. We’re preparing to escape. What do you say?”
“Okay.” Qi Ming nodded. “We’ll temporarily avoid it.”
The desert dragon laughed and shouted, “Don’t try to scare me. With the Dragon Elephant Turtle at the Soul Formation realm around, you’re not its match at all. I’m the spirit of the grotto-heaven, the spirit that manifests the Dao of Yinglong Grotto-heaven. It’s impossible for you to destroy me.”
“I won this time!”
“The Dragon Elephant Turtle at the Soul Formation realm is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for!”
Qi Ming said, “Or rather, it’s an excuse for them to break the rules.”
As soon as he finished speaking, it just so happened that a voice sounded as if it came from heaven and earth. It was majestic and echoed in everyone’s minds, shocking them.
“Myriads demons rule the Dao, reversing life and death.”
Buzz!
The next moment…
Crack! Crack!
A huge crack appeared in the sky of Yinglong Grotto-heaven. It was pitch-black and sinister, and it was like the sky was collapsing, shocking everyone.
“Great Hand of Life and Death.”
Boom!
A black-robed figure walked in from this huge crack. The living beings present did not see the situation clearly. The black-robed figure raised his right hand and formed a profound hand seal.. The Dao of Life and Death circulated and condensed to the extreme, landing on the Dragon Elephant Turtle that was like a mountain peak.
