Chapter 430: Celestial Toxin Ascending Dragon Pillar, Netherworld's Omnipresence, and the Backstabbe
Chapter 430: Celestial Toxin Ascending Dragon Pillar, Netherworld's Omnipresence, and the Backstabbed Elder Dragon God (Part 1)
Crackle, crackle!
In the vast sky above, dark clouds piled high, rumbling with anger, and within their dense darkness, countless intertwined lightning bolts flashed and roared.
A terrifying green wind surged through the cloud layers, howling as it blew, each gust feeling like a thousand knives slicing through flesh, causing souls to tremble as if they were about to be annihilated.
This was the calamitous wind, one of the Three Disasters, the God-Killing Gale, which could have a profound impact on cultivators' souls, even easily severing a cultivator's spirit!
The raging wind howled mercilessly, making every hair on one's body stand on end, signaling an impending disaster.
Flurries of snow fell, but before they could touch the ground, they were shattered by a powerful force, turning into droplets that evaporated into mist, enveloping the entire world in a hazy fog.
A feather fan swayed gently, and a crane robe fluttered in the wind.
Xie Yunshen emerged from the tent, his eyes blazing with battle intent, burning like flames.
"We can't delay any longer, Elder Dragon God. You're right; it's time to fight... We can't wait any further," Xie Yunshen said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Elder Dragon God's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, but it quickly faded into acceptance. Indeed, the Grand Tutor of the Great Jing Imperial Family was acting at the right moment. If he didn't launch the offensive now, Elder Dragon God would have doubted the tutor's abilities.
At this moment, it was only reasonable for Lu Taibai to challenge the Divine Tribulation Realm. This was the tribulation for the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
With Lu Taibai, a formidable Half-step Divine Tribulation expert, absent, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect would lack its strongest combat power, a significant disadvantage.
Moreover, Lu Taibai's inability to break through the realm meant he couldn't contribute to the sect's strength. In essence, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was currently missing a crucial general!
If they seized this opportunity, they might even have a chance to defeat the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, breach their defenses, and achieve the ultimate goal of conquering the sect.
Elder Dragon God eagerly awaited this day. By conquering the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, his Dragon God Lineage would have a new ancestral home, allowing them to leave Ancestral Dragon Island and escape the pressures from all sides. He wouldn't have to worry about his lineage being eradicated after his death.
This generation had produced a rare Dragon God Prince, a young talent Elder Dragon God held high hopes for. However, the Dragon God Prince was not a true Divine Tribulation cultivator, not even close. How could he protect the Dragon God Lineage?
Elder Dragon God sighed softly. Even he had struggled to lead the Dragon God Lineage, barely surviving in the East Sea on Ancestral Dragon Island. His cultivation and strength paled in comparison to the previous Elder Dragon God and the lineage's most glorious era.
During the Dragon God Lineage's peak, there were five Dragon God Realm experts, and among them, the Dragon King had reached the Three Disasters Realm!
Unfortunately, time was like an unyielding sword, slaying all glory.
Many Dragon Gods sought to explore the Secret Realm, challenging the Earthly Nether Gate, but they all vanished without a trace.
No matter how grand or unparalleled one was, time would gradually weaken them.
The Dragon God Lineage's former glory was irretrievable.
Elder Dragon God now only wished to preserve the lineage's heritage and continue its legacy.
Taking a deep breath, Elder Dragon God turned to Xie Yunshen, who had agreed to the expedition, his gaze softening.
"The God-Killing Gale is one of the Three Disasters. This Lu Taibai has great ambitions, seeking to obtain the Three Disasters Dao Position and enter the tribulation with it..."
Elder Dragon God looked up at the calamitous wind, then at Gu Qianchi. "If Lu Taibai truly enters the tribulation, even if it's just the beginning, his Dao Position is still that of the Three Disasters. There's a positional suppression, and Gu Qianchi might not be able to match Lu Taibai..."
"Therefore, we must act quickly. If we wait for Lu Taibai to enter the tribulation, breaking the Heavenly Origin will be difficult."
As Elder Dragon God's words fell, a long howl reverberated, transforming into a terrifying dragon's roar that shook the heavens. His terrifying blood essence soared like a blood-red pillar, piercing the cloud canopy, as if the black clouds in the night sky were trembling and expanding.
Elder Dragon God suppressed his cultivation, not fully revealing his power, as the tribulation, manifested by the Heavenly Will, hung like a sword above his head, ready to strike at any moment.
After Elder Dragon God's roar, the peaceful surface of the Grand Canal exploded.
Countless waves surged, misty water vapor rose, and amidst the sound of explosions, water columns shot into the sky, transforming into winding dragon shapes.
The dragon's might was awe-inspiring, and the raging energy intertwined, finally forming human-shaped figures with prominent dragon horns on their heads.
They were the Dragon God Prince and three Dragon God Lineage princes!
Their auras were scorching, and they were visibly excited, their eyes gleaming with fierce battle intent.
Elder Dragon God proudly watched his descendants, their demeanor and spirit truly befitting the Dragon God Lineage fighting for their homeland.
Suddenly, Elder Dragon God felt that the Dragon God Lineage wasn't beyond salvation.
With such a spirited Dragon God Prince, there was a great chance that he would break through the Divine Tribulation in the future...
The Dragon God Lineage had a promising future!
"Hahaha!" Elder Dragon God couldn't help but burst into laughter at this thought.
"Children, follow me on this expedition! Fight for the future of our race!"
Elder Dragon God clenched his fist, and a golden trident appeared in his hand, glowing with a dazzling golden light and adorned with sparkling gems.
A killing intent instantly surged from Elder Dragon God, causing his white hair to flutter.
Xie Yunshen glanced at Elder Dragon God, gently swaying his feather fan.
Boom!
The dark night sky resembled mountains at the horizon, shrouded in mist, making it difficult to discern its contours. Snowflakes danced in the air, seemingly intent on freezing everything in the mortal realm.
The howling wind roared, and the snow whirled in the air!
On the Grand Canal, the river surged and roared, as if a heavy horn was sounding, with a rumbling echo that reverberated from the surface of the Grand Canal, echoing for a hundred and a thousand zhang!
The dense fog on the river surface was torn apart.
One after another, the immense black Xuan Long ships, after being dormant for so long, finally started moving again, parting the waves and sailing like towering icebergs.
The towering ships parted the river water, and the impact on their hulls sent up waves like thousands of snow-covered peaks.
The Xuan Tie Ling Mu warships were the navy warships of the Great Jing court, with a ferocious and terrifying appearance. The Great Jing Emperor had started building the navy fleet early on, preparing for the Great Jing's conquest of the four seas.
Moreover, because the Great Jing Taizu had dug the Grand Canal, it almost spanned the entire Great Jing's eleven paths. Therefore, with its powerful navy, the Great Jing was like a colossal beast, trampling without fear. With a wave of the Emperor's hand, the warships could crush and shatter everything in their path.
The ferocious Xuan Tie Ling Mu warships had terrifying patterns carved on both sides of their hulls, symbolizing slaughter, as if they were sailing out from the bitter sea of the underworld.
After a month of silence, the flags fluttered once again, fluttering in the turbulent air, shredding the snowflakes and flowers!
Boom—!
The ship rocked up and down, smashing the crashing waves, sailing out with ferocity!
One after another, like a well-disciplined army, they sailed along the Grand Canal, once again heading towards the direction of the Divine Origin Dao City, a dark and oppressive force.
On the warship.
Xie Yun Shen wore a crane cloak, a crown on his head, and a feather fan gently swayed, stirring the breeze.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes!
Finally... it was about to begin!
According to the Lord's plan, after today's battle, the court's army would truly start the campaign of conquering mountains and destroying sects. And the target... was no longer the Divine Origin Sect, but the Tiandan Divine Sect in Guangling Dao!
As for today's attack on the Divine Origin Sect, it was more like a grand show, a spectacle prepared for the Elder Dragon God.
His gaze turned to the Elder Dragon God and the Dragon God Princes, and Xie Yun Shen couldn't help but smile.
The Dragon God lineage's fortune...
He, Xie Yun Shen, would take it first.
...
...
The news of Taibai Sect primarily targeting the Divine Tribulation spread like a storm, impossible to suppress any longer.
Divine Tribulation!
A life-and-death struggle to enter the Divine Tribulation!
There wasn't much joy on everyone's faces, only solemnity, because breaking through the Divine Tribulation was not an easy task, and failure was highly likely.
And if they failed, the situation facing the Divine Origin Sect would become extremely difficult.
Everyone's faces were filled with solemnity.
Feng Zhiqi let out a long breath, and with a movement of his body, his blood energy roared like a meteor, swiftly landing on the city wall. His black hair danced wildly, and he held a long spear in his arms, his gaze fixed on the deep night sky.
A long howl sounded, and the horn blared as countless Divine Guard soldiers climbed onto the city wall, holding long spears and looking anxiously towards the distance.
Fireworks soared into the sky and blossomed in mid-air, signaling the enemy's advance.
The new scout fired signal flares, indicating that the enemy army had set off. The court's army, which had been stationed eight hundred li away, launched another attack on the Divine Origin Dao City that night!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The sound of breaking through the air, as Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, Ding Zi, Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, the Martial Sage of the Noble Family, the Divine Embryo, and other powerful figures rose into the air. Their fierce and mighty auras were released with a bang.
The auras of over ten Martial Saints and Divine Embryos, almost the pinnacle of the Divine Origin Dao City's combat power, creating a sense of oppression even greater than that of thousands of troops and horses.
In the vast sky.
Immense tribulation clouds rolled, rumbling, brewing a terrifying divine tribulation disaster, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
Buzz—
The Grand Elder Fang Hanshu's scholar robes fluttered as he walked in the air, step by step, towards the sky and the city wall.
The vast river roared, enveloping the entire city, easing the tension and anxiety in everyone's hearts.
Even Fang Hanshu's gaze deepened: "Tonight, there will surely be a great battle... a battle that will determine the life and death of the Divine Origin Sect."
Even he couldn't predict the outcome of this battle.
Because he couldn't be sure if Lu Taibai would successfully break through the tribulation. If he succeeded... then the Divine Origin Sect would have a chance with another Divine Tribulation.
The breakthrough Lu Taibai could stop Gu Qianchi, and the Patriarch could withstand the Elder Dragon God...
When necessary, he could don the Mask of the God-Slaying Hunter...
But he felt that Xie Yun Shen must have a trump card. After a month, how could Xie Yun Shen have prepared nothing?
Had that Zhao Beidou recovered from his severe injuries?
Did Xie Yun Shen invite other sect patriarchs to help?
Feng Zhiqi slowly exhaled.
It could be said that the Divine Origin Sect's ability to withstand the first wave of the court's army's attack was already a miracle.
However, Fang Hanshu wasn't overly despairing, as there was still hope.
He looked towards Li Che, who was floating in the air, his face gentle and harmless.
Seemingly sensing Fang Hanshu's gaze, Li Che turned his head and smiled slightly: "Grand Elder, there's no need to worry."
"Everything is stable."
Fang Hanshu was slightly startled.
It seemed he didn't quite understand what Li Che meant by 'stable'.
"The Netherworld is everywhere."
Li Che pondered for a moment and added, "Next, the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank appeared, and I placed my palm on it, my eyes shining brightly."
At the same time, in a study...
Li Che's original body had a mysterious gaze.
Lu Taibai's attempt to reach the Divine Tribulation Realm did come as a surprise to Li Che.
Fortunately, Li Che had received a message from Gu Changqing, the renowned Alchemy Master, informing him of the successful creation of the Celestial Toxin Pill and the Nine Turns Ascending Dragon Pillar.
This was the final piece of the puzzle for Li Che's plan to hunt down the Elder Dragon God.
With a snap of his fingers, a black chess piece twisted and expanded in mid-air, transforming into the respectful figure of Gu Changqing.
"Master!" exclaimed Gu Changqing, dressed in an alchemist's robe, his face filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Did you succeed?" Li Che asked with a smile.
Indeed, the ability to bind spirits proved invaluable, as Gu Changqing, an Alchemy Master, provided tremendous assistance.
Li Che had once considered learning alchemy himself, but his knowledge of the art was limited. Starting from scratch would require significant effort.
It would be far more efficient to bind an Alchemy Master and have them assist in pill refining.
"I've already acquired two of the five major professions: Divine Armament Master and Divine Alchemy Master. In the future, I'll try to gather the remaining three: Divine Talisman Master, Divine Carving Master, and Divine Formation Master. I'll become a true jack-of-all-trades!"
Li Che chuckled at the thought.
After all, the ability to bind spirits was his unique skill. Why shouldn't he proudly claim to be a master of all professions?
"Let's take a look..." Li Che narrowed his eyes, his mind captivated by the toxin pill.
Gu Changqing smiled and suddenly flicked his sleeve, causing a black jade bottle to float in the air.
With a thought, a jet-black pill, resembling a jade pearl, rose from the bottle, emitting a brilliant glow.
The pill exuded an intensely rich fragrance that stirred the blood and spirit of those nearby.
Unless one knew better, they would assume it was an extraordinary treasure pill!
"How do you use it? Do you just have people consume it directly? People aren't fools; they won't swallow an unknown pill." Li Che admired the toxin pill and turned to Gu Changqing with curiosity.
Gu Changqing laughed, "Master, this Nine Turns Ascending Dragon Pillar is the ultimate creation of the Yin Xuan Ancestor, a masterpiece of the Celestial Toxin Pill. Its usage is unique. By manipulating it with your mind, the pill rotates, creating mist on the first turn, increasing mist on the second, and so on until the ninth turn, when the Celestial Toxin Mist forms, and the Ascending Dragon Pillar takes shape, making it impossible for even gods to save them."
Upon hearing this, Li Che immediately understood how to use the pill.
"A non-discriminatory attack?"
"Yes, Master. This is an antidote pill. After consuming it, one becomes permanently immune to the poison of the Ascending Dragon Pillar."
Gu Changqing, ever the sycophant, produced another bottle, this time a pristine white jade one.
