NOVPUBChapter 1011 -632: Crushing the 3rd Ancestor! (4K)_2
The two families, after all, were first-class forces in the Immortal Realm, and it was rare for anyone in the Three Realms to show them disrespect. How could they tolerate being so belittled by the opposition?
Helian Bai, the Third Ancestor of the Helian Family, furrowed his brows tightly as he calculated the opponent’s strength.
The power of the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon was unknown, making him hesitant to act rashly.
These were beings who had lived countless ages, and they acted carefully. Without understanding the enemy’s background, they would not move easily, so as not to expose vulnerability.
“If you refuse to drink the wine of respect, you’ll have to drink the wine of punishment.”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon suddenly vanished.
So fast!
Helian Bai sensed danger in an instant as the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon disappeared.
The might of the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon was likely above his own, perhaps even far superior.
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon punched out, simple and unadorned.
Boom!
Helian Bai’s entire body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the mountain ranges below!
Brown peaks crumbled one after another; mountains collapsed, and the earth trembled.
The experts from the two families and the two Holy Lands stood in stunned silence.
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon was this terrifying!
Helian Bai, after all, was a renowned figure from ancient times, able to hold his own against Li Lingfei of Guanghan Palace.
Yet such a powerful figure as Helian Bai was sent flying with a single punch before the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Helian Bai climbed out of the rubble formed by the crumbled stones, coughing up blood mixed with fragmented internal organs.
The punch from the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon carried the weight of billions of years of cultivation power; Helian Bai truly stood no chance.
“You… what manner of being are you?”
Helian Bai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, fear rising toward the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
He was certain this fiery-haired man was an ancient entity, perhaps of an even older pedigree than his own.
“I told you, I gave you a chance. Leave now, or don’t blame me for being unkind.”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon remained imperious and overwhelming.
Helian Bai looked troubled.
Clearly, he might not be this unknown being’s opponent, but if he simply conceded now, how could he continue to have standing in the Helian Family?
Helian Bai opened his palm, and the Nullifying Bell appeared in his grasp.
Having lesser cultivation, he could only hope to rely on a magical treasure to win.
“The Nullifying Bell? It’s a decent treasure. But if you think relying on the Nullifying Bell will make you my match, then you’re gravely mistaken.”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon clenched his fist tightly, and Divine Fire burned fiercely.
Helian Bai stared at the flames, finding them increasingly familiar.
It seemed as if, during ancient times, he had witnessed such Spiritual Fire before.
Helian Bai poured all his strength into activating the Nullifying Bell, which vibrated and unleashed frightful sonic waves attacking the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s divine sense.
“My divine sense has been tempered through endless ages, especially by enduring torment during my exile. It has long become indestructible.”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon snorted coldly, unperturbed by the Nullifying Bell’s spirit attack, which was ineffectual against an ancient being of its caliber.
Helian Bai seemed suddenly to realize the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s identity, his expression morphing into fear: “Could it be you are…”
“Too late.”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon unleashed another punch, one of world-shattering, unstoppable force.
Boom!
Another thunderous sound followed as its punch smashed directly against the Nullifying Bell’s dimensional barrier!
The barrier trembled violently; the immense shockwave caused the Nullifying Bell to waver, even producing a faint crack in its floating form.
Before Helian Bai could exclaim in alarm, the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon shattered the Nullifying Bell’s barrier with its fist and struck Helian Bai directly once again.
Helian Bai was sent flying once more, and the mountains below were left in yet another state of ruin.
Dead silence.
The people of the two families were stunned and terrified when even Helian Bai, armed with the Nullifying Bell, couldn’t withstand the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s attack.
If not even Helian Bai was a match, there was no hope for anyone else.
“So this is the power of an Ancient Dragon King…”
Lu Changsheng finally witnessed such a being in action.
Their strength was terrifying.
World-Ending Black Dragons, Candle Dragons, Eight Desolation Fire Dragons—these Ancient Dragon Kings once ruled vast swathes of the Three Realms.
If not for the rise of the Human Race, their reign might have continued to this day.
It also revealed just how formidable the Primordial Goddess, Taiyin Goddess, Mount Taihua Goddess, and those ancient human Great Experts who defeated such Ancient Dragon Kings must have been. Among them, the Master who survived attacks from multiple Dragon Kings was undeniably one of the foremost in life-preserving skills.
Helian Bai climbed out from the rubble created by the collapsed mountains once more, his expression considerably more haggard.
After taking two heavy blows in succession, even as an ancient Great Power, Helian Bai’s body was beginning to falter.
“We retreat.”
Helian Bai’s first thought wasn’t to continue fighting the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, but to withdraw.
He knew that the group of experts he brought with him was no match for Lu Changsheng’s party under the protection of the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.
“Are we just going to let them go like this?”
“This was our best chance to capture Su Yun. Leaving now is truly regrettable.”
“Fools, can’t you see? That is the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, one of the ancient Dragon Kings. Back in the day, many of our Helian Family’s great experts perished at his hand! The only reason he hasn’t gone for the kill is out of respect for our founding ancestor!”
Helian Bai berated his clansmen.
“The Eight… Eight Desolation Fire Dragon!!!”
Experts from both families paled at the revelation of their opponent’s identity.
Who would have thought that Lu Changsheng’s party included an Eight Desolation Fire Dragon!
This was one of the infamous Dragon Kings from ancient times!
During the ancient age, when the Helian Family clashed with the Demon Race, many of their experts were slain by the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon!
None of them could possibly match the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.
Only if the founding ancestors of the two families joined forces might victory be attainable.
“Why would the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon be here? Could it be the ancient rumors are true—that after being defeated by the Primordial Goddess, the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon was exiled and ended up here?”
“He has transformed into human form, so we never expected him.”
The experts of the two families finally realized the truth.
“Since you know my origins, why haven’t you left yet? I won’t repeat myself a fourth time.”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s patience was waning.
The two ancient families, with their deep heritage, were spared total destruction by the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon as it had only recently regained its freedom and remained unaware of the current state of the Dragon Clan, thus avoiding creating an irreconcilable feud.
“We leave.”
Now recognizing the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s identity and knowing they were no match, the two families fled in disgrace.
“Senior Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, aren’t you going to pursue them?”
Su Yun, who bore hatred toward the two families, hoped the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon would chase them down.
“I only promised to defeat them, not to kill them for you. Besides, those two families still have a few figures I’d rather not completely antagonize. Their divine skills are somewhat troublesome. More importantly, after all these years, I have no idea how their strength may have changed. Back then, the Primordial Goddess was originally weaker than me, yet later on I couldn’t even rival her…”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon had grown far more cautious after its banishment.
Human cultivators advanced faster in their cultivation than the Demon Race, leaving the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon uncertain about the true power of the founding ancestors of the Helian and Huangfu Families.
“I see… Regardless, we are grateful to you, Senior Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.”
Su Yun, having witnessed the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s power, felt renewed hope for rescuing their ancestors.
“Hmph.”
The Eight Desolation Fire Dragon snorted, releasing a puff of white smoke, clearly unimpressed by the thanks of a mere human junior.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, felt a pang of heartache.
In order to get the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon to act, he had consumed one of his conditions.
Now he only had two conditions left.
The greater the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon’s strength, the more priceless its favor became.
