Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Demon Flood Dragon Race, the Sea Dragon Race, the Yaksha Race, and the Four Great Pirate Kings.
These were all Emperor Realm masters!
If he refined them all into Emperor Yuan Pills, he could surely exchange them for a great many Spirit Crystals.
It took wealth to practice the Martial Dao!
On the path of the Martial Dao, besides talent, opportunity, and perseverance, the most important thing was resources. Otherwise, why would so many Martial Artists join powerful factions?
Toward these enemies who wanted to kill him and seize the Little Dragon Maiden, Jiang Chen felt no mercy whatsoever!
As for the Mermaid Clan…
Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over the experts of the Mermaid Clan. The corners of several of their eyes twitched, and they quickly waved their hands, saying, “Jiang Chen, we never had any intention of killing you!”
“Mm, I’ll let you off for now, then!”
Jiang Chen nodded. The Mermaid Clan indeed showed no killing intent, so letting them go was fine. As for the others…
“The Demon Flood Dragon Race, is it? I’ll start with you!” Jiang Chen grinned, his icy gaze falling upon Demon Yunhai.
This was an expert at the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm.
Relying on the powerful physical body of the Demon Flood Dragon Race, his combat strength was comparable to that of a Late-stage Emperor.
If Jiang Chen hadn’t broken through to the Emperor Realm, he would have been helpless against him.
But now…
“Kill!”
Jiang Chen charged at Demon Yunhai, holding the mountain-sized Eight Trigrams Roaming Dragon Cauldron in one hand and wielding the Ancient Azure Dragon Sword in the other.
“ROAR!”
Demon Yunhai roared in fury, his body twisting and transforming into a black flood dragon thousands of feet long, which then charged at Jiang Chen. Its massive tail swept out, making the very void tremble. A gale howled—WHOOSH—and faint cracks could be seen appearing in the space around the black dragon’s tail.
A glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes, and the five pairs of wings on his back vibrated.
SWOOSH!
The moment Jiang Chen vanished from his spot,
the massive dragon tail whipped down, crashing onto the surface of the sea.
BOOM—
The entire sea surface shook violently before suddenly erupting, sending two towering walls of water shooting into the sky.
Demon Yunhai’s enormous head burst through the wall of water. His eyes were icy as he stared at Jiang Chen. “Brat, die!”
SPLASH!
Demon Yunhai’s colossal body tumbled through the air, surrounded by a pulsing, sinister black light that emanated a destructive power.
This was the might of a Demon Flood Dragon.
They were the Overlords among Demon Beasts, their bloodline second only to that of True Dragons!
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen sent the Eight Trigrams Roaming Dragon Cauldron smashing forward. Like a small mountain, it landed on Demon Yunhai’s body with a BOOM. Amidst a loud BANG, blood splattered everywhere. The Scale Armor on Demon Yunhai’s body shattered, and he shrieked in pain. The ferocity in his eyes intensified as he roared, ready to devour his prey, “Brat, I’m going to swallow you whole!”
“Hmph. I might have trouble stomaching Emperor Yuan Pills made from humans, but an Emperor Yuan Pill refined from you would be a great tonic for me!”
Jiang Chen snorted coldly.
His figure flashed, descending abruptly.
The Eight Trigrams Roaming Dragon Cauldron smashed down again and again with incredible speed, striking Demon Yunhai’s body repeatedly and producing a series of heavy THUDS.
Demon Yunhai roared again and again.
But he just wasn’t as fast as Jiang Chen. He was smashed into the sea time after time. He would charge back up in a rage, but the moment his head broke the surface, the massive Pill Cauldron would descend again. “Get down!”
BANG!
The massive Pill Cauldron landed squarely on Demon Yunhai’s head.
It smashed his Flood Dragon’s Foot clean off.
“AARGH…”
Demon Yunhai screamed miserably as he fell into the sea, his fresh blood staining a patch of the water red.
He burst from the sea in a fury, his eyes radiating a murderous light, wishing he could bite Jiang Chen to death on the spot. “Jiang Chen, if I don’t kill you, I, Demon Yunhai, swear I am no Flood Dragon!”
“So noisy! Once I’ve cut you down, I’ll refine you into a Dragon Emperor Pill!” Jiang Chen snorted.
Inside his body, the God-slaying Sword suddenly trembled.
The God-Devouring Realm erupted once more.
It forcefully raised his cultivation to the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm. Now that he had advanced to the Emperor Realm, the boosting effect of the God-Devouring Realm had clearly diminished. However, the Holy Dragon on the God-slaying Sword was still absorbing and refining the Essence of the Flood Dragon. Jiang Chen had a faint feeling that once it finished the refinement…
…the God-slaying Sword would likely undergo a heaven-shaking transformation.
Every transformation of the God-slaying Sword had granted him numerous benefits, such as the Eyes of the Heavens, the God-Devouring Realm, and more.
Jiang Chen eagerly awaited the benefits that the next transformation of the God-slaying Sword would bring.
Of course…
…the most important thing right now was to kill Demon Yunhai!
“Nine Palace Sword!”
Jiang Chen roared and slashed out with his sword.
Nine Sword Palaces appeared from nine different directions, entangling Demon Yunhai and continuously crashing into his body. Each Sword Palace was, in reality, an incredibly terrifying Sword Qi attack. Sharp Sword Qi crisscrossed, and under the fierce assault, Demon Yunhai’s Dragon Scales shattered, sending blood flying everywhere.
“Star Luo Destruction!”
He swept his longsword.
An expanse of starlight unfurled, transforming into a river of stars tens of thousands of feet long, hung across the sky.
It was like the Nine Heavens Milky Way!
It slashed down heavily on Demon Yunhai. Under this one strike, his powerful dragon body was brutally cleaved apart, exploding into a shower of blood that filled the sky.
‘Kick him while he’s down!’ A murderous glint flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
After reaching the Emperor Realm, crossing a single Small Realm was equivalent to the talent of a prodigy. After unleashing his full power, he was already comparable to a Late-stage Emperor. With his all-out attack, Demon Yunhai was instantly and severely wounded.
His colossal body plummeted toward the Azure Sky Sea.
Jiang Chen, still holding the Eight Trigrams Roaming Dragon Cauldron, slapped it forcefully. The cauldron’s body erupted with a dazzling light, shining high in the sky and transforming into a massive black silhouette.
The lid flew open.
Jiang Chen gestured in the air. His unparalleled True Essence formed a sky-propping hand that seized Demon Yunhai’s body and tossed it into the Eight Trigrams Roaming Dragon Cauldron. Then, he slammed the lid shut. He formed a series of Seal Techniques, and streams of Pill Fire surged within the cauldron. The dragon-shaped patterns on the cauldron’s body continuously burst with blinding light.
RUMBLE!
The giant cauldron shook and rumbled violently. From within came Demon Yunhai’s agonized screams and pleas for help: “Brothers of the Sea Dragon Race and Yaksha Race! And you Four Kings! What are you standing there for? Get me out of here! If you save me, you will be the benefactors of my Demon Flood Dragon Race! Save me…”
Under the scorching and refining of the Pill Fire,
Demon Yunhai was in excruciating pain. Nearly half of his Demon Flood Dragon body had already been refined. The agony was worse than death!
The experts from the Sea Dragon Race and the Yaksha Race exchanged a look.
The two of them attacked in unison.
At this moment, the Four Great Pirate Kings also glanced at each other and attacked as well.
Facing six Emperor Realm masters at once, a grave expression appeared in Jiang Chen’s eyes. While urging the Pill Fire to continue refining Demon Yunhai, he simultaneously turned and fled into the distance at top speed.
“Stop right there!”
“Release Demon Yunhai, or die!”
The six masters attacked in unison, their earth-shattering power chasing after Jiang Chen.
Each of their attacks was incomparably vicious.
All of them were aiming to take Jiang Chen’s life!
Jiang Chen fled for his life. Relying on his Demigod Weapon Level Divine Demon Tyrant Body, he withstood several of their attacks but still coughed up blood and sustained some injuries. An incredibly furious look appeared in his eyes. He scanned the six Emperor Realm masters relentlessly pursuing him, a vicious glint unconcealed. “I’ll remember the six of you. Just wait until I finish refining this Dragon Emperor Pill and break through to the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm. Then I’ll destroy you all!”
“In your dreams!”
“You’re courting death!”
The six exchanged a look and attacked with even greater frenzy.
RUMBLE!
One terrifying attack after another descended. As strong as Jiang Chen was, facing the combined siege of two experts from the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm and four Late-stage Emperors, he was still heavily injured.
“Eight Trigrams Sword!”
Jiang Chen swung his sword in a backhand strike, and the Eight Trigrams Sword Diagram appeared to block in front of him, but it was shattered by the six experts’ continuous attacks. Jiang Chen, along with the Eight Trigrams Roaming Dragon Cauldron, was smashed brutally into the Azure Sky Sea. A giant wave rolled over, like a massive, ancient beast swallowing him whole.
The group all had grave expressions, warily watching the churning surface of the sea. “Where did that brat hide?”
“Damn it, Jiang Chen, get out here!”
The men roared in anger.
But they didn’t have to wait long. About ten breaths later, the entire surface of the sea suddenly began to boil. A cold, clear voice then rang in their ears like a nightmare: “The pill is complete. Time to break through!”
