Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Zhou Jiutian’s terrified expression had yet to fade before it froze completely on his face.

Deep within his pupils, a gigantic figure appeared. It was a ferocious flood dragon, with scales as black as ink. It stretched for thousands of feet, with a head as large as a mountain peak, and fan-shaped fins on either side of its tooth-filled mouth, stirring up a foul wind as they flapped.

At this moment, the gigantic black flood dragon emerged from the Nine Bends River. Countless raging tides surrounded it, as if a true dragon had arrived in the world.

The Profound Armored Water Lizard that everyone was riding on seemed insignificant before it.

"This is..."

Zhou Jiutian’s eyes widened dramatically.

He felt a chill surge into his heart.

Back then.

The Medicine God Hall sent twelve Earth Immortals to explore the Nine Bends River, and eventually, all but one were annihilated. Could it have been due to this Demon Dragon?

"Roar!"

Before Zhou Jiutian could react.

The Profound Armored Water Lizard, which had been docked nearby, let out a panic-stricken roar like a frightened rabbit. Its massive body darted away swiftly like a crossbow arrow drawn to the fullest, fleeing rapidly into the distance.

"Beast! How dare you escape..."

Seeing this, Zhou Jiutian’s eyes turned red.

Escape?

Of course, the Profound Armored Water Lizard would escape.

With only an Earth Immortal Seventh Layer, how could it compare with the Earth Immortal Ninth Layer black flood dragon? Its beastly instincts told it that this black flood dragon was extremely dangerous!

However, though the Profound Armored Water Lizard moved quickly, the black flood dragon was faster still. In an instant, it chased after it like lightning, its sharp fangs piercing directly through the thick scales on the lizard’s back!

"Roar!"

The intense pain caused the Profound Armored Water Lizard to let out an ear-splitting wail, struggling violently.

But then, the black flood dragon twisted its body, wrapping around it like a bone-crushing creature, tightening slowly.

No matter how the Profound Armored Water Lizard screamed, struggled, or howled, it couldn’t break free. Accompanied by the sound of bones cracking and splitting.

And finally, under the horrified gazes of the onlookers, the black flood dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the motionless lizard whole. Watching the massive bulge in the dragon’s throat move down to its belly, the fear in Zhou Jiutian’s heart was uncontrollable!

"That’s the Black Dragon Flood Dragon! Why has it come?" Zhou Jiutian trembled all over.

The others also shook like chaff.

Panlong City is famous because of this Black Dragon Flood Dragon! And usually, it resides in the Nine Bends River, rarely appearing; how has it appeared twice here in such a short period?

Could it be?

Zhou Jiutian’s gaze shifted, suddenly noticing the Black Dragon Flood Dragon staring at the small sapling on the sandbank, its dark golden pupils contracting to the extreme.

"Not good, it’s the Treasure Guardian Demon Beast of the Celestial Essence Fruit!"

Zhou Jiutian froze.

Yet.

At that moment, the Black Dragon Flood Dragon realized the Celestial Essence Fruit had been eaten and let out an uncontrollable roar.

This roar sounded less like a flood dragon and more like a monumental beast.

The black flood dragon’s furious aura surged, causing the Nine Bends River to churn. In an instant, the turbulent river transformed into a raging sea, giant waves cascading overwhelmingly!

On the sandbank, those with weaker cultivation fell to their knees in fright; even Zhou Jiutian was utterly terrified.

"It’s all because of you!"

Zhou Jiutian glared at Ye Qingchen, despair welling in his heart as he shouted hysterically, "If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have come to the Nine Bends River, nor encountered the Black Dragon Flood Dragon!"

"You were clearly greedy, how can you blame me?" Ye Qingchen laughed coldly, "You may fear the Black Dragon Flood Dragon, but I do not!"

His True Qi surged, shielding Su Moran behind him. He raised his hand lightly, and a vast force exploded from his palm, rushing forward like a ferocious tide.

"Boom!"

In an instant.

Two mighty torrents collided fiercely.

Suddenly.

A violent explosion rocked the void, waves of Powerful Qi and terrifying air currents sweeping outward in all directions. The sandbank beneath the onlookers was torn into pieces! Zhou Jiutian and the others were blown away on the spot.

If Ye Qingchen hadn’t been protecting him, the imprisoned Su Moran would have been ripped to shreds instantly.

"Boom!"

Ye Qingchen, having just recovered his cultivation, was slightly weaker, thrown off balance and propelled into the water, raising a huge wave.

And at this moment.

The Black Dragon Flood Dragon’s second strike swiftly followed.

Its giant tail swung heavily, smashing into the river’s surface. The thousands of feet-long body moved with unimaginable agility like a black lightning bolt, skimming the water’s surface and raising high white waves, extending all the way to Ye Qingchen!

"It’s over, it’s over!" Zhou Jiutian’s face showed terror, almost helpless. "This Black Dragon Flood Dragon is the Celestial Essence Fruit’s Treasure Guardian Demon Beast; we’re doomed to die here..."

"Grand Hall Master, can’t we use this chance to sneak away?" someone whispered.

Zhou Jiutian displayed absolute despair, "If you dare leave now, the Black Dragon Flood Dragon will turn around and kill you first, then kill that kid!"

Yet at this moment.

Ye Qingchen had already clashed with the Black Dragon Flood Dragon.

"Dong!"

A mighty sound akin to an ancient bell’s knell.

As if two mountains collided fiercely. The terrifying power swept outward recklessly.

The water under Ye Qingchen’s feet exploded violently, and the force penetrated to the riverbed, tearing it into shattered fragments, marked with cuts and gouges.

Rampaging river waters surged in all directions.

This Black Dragon Flood Dragon was simply too formidable.

With the power of an Earth Immortal Ninth Layer, and now within the Nine Bends River, every move conjured massive waves, shattering islands and bombing the void as if it were the legendary sea-dominating Demon Dragon.

Vast Nine Bends River, nearly transformed into a roaring sea.

Ye Qingchen, though formidable, faced the ruler of this water domain, only able to hold on bitterly, retreating step by step.

"Could he be defeated?"

Su Moran watched nervously.

Zhou Jiutian, despite his anger, felt a vengeful satisfaction watching Ye Qingchen retreat: "Even if I don’t survive, I want to see you ripped to pieces by the Black Dragon Flood Dragon!"

"Roar!"

At this moment.

The Black Dragon Flood Dragon, long unable to claim victory, had reached the peak of rage.

Once again, it unleashed a howl, its already surging demonic aura doubling in intensity. Suddenly, black lightning surged through the sky, fierce winds whipped up, night descended, and waves followed waves.

Such terrifying power seemed to alter the heavens and earth!

"Boom!"

And at this moment.

The Black Dragon Flood Dragon’s gigantic body rolled up violently, like black thunder racing, sweeping with tempestuous waves, charging directly at Ye Qingchen. Yet facing this earth-shaking strike, Ye Qingchen was not alarmed but pleased, laughing wildly:

"Open!"

Boom!

At this moment, boundless power erupted from his body, soaring into the sky. Ye Qingchen seemed to break through a certain shackle, stepping into another realm.

His aura surged higher like a rising tide.

In the vast Nine Bends River, countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rejoiced.

Ye Qingchen breakthrough, Entering Earth Immortal Sixth Layer!
