Chapter 1078 - 1101: The Final Strike
At this moment, Chu Linfeng transformed into a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon and flew directly into the sky. His massive dragon body swayed continuously in the air, while the persistent dragon roars left everyone stunned.
Except for Xuanyuan Yueyan, everyone else looked at the golden giant dragon in the sky with terror. They couldn’t understand why a golden dragon would appear at this moment, and it was even the legendary Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.
"Is this Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon actually Chu Linfeng? Is he the Golden Dragon Body? How is this possible?" Nangong Ming blurted out, unable to contain his inner excitement.
"It’s too strange, too terrifying, I’m starting to doubt whether I’m dreaming. How could a Dragon Race appear here, especially a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon? Even in the Divine Dragon Race of the Immortal Realm, there’s no mention of a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon. Why would it appear here and not in the Immortal Beasts’ territory? Could the seal have been broken?" Qin Xiaojiao couldn’t help but say.
"I didn’t expect this young fellow to be a part of the Dragon Race, which is our common enemy. Today, he must be slain here. Since ancient times, Immortal Beasts have been irreconcilable with us Immortals. You two wouldn’t have any objections, right?" Zuo Gufei said at this moment.
Nangong Ming and Qin Xiaojiao were momentarily speechless. If Chu Linfeng truly belonged to the Dragon Race, there might be a real battle. Although neither side is willing, they have no choice but to confront each other. Every thousand years in the Immortal Realm, a war breaks out between Immortal Beasts and Immortals, and the hatred keeps growing deeper.
The Golden Demon Vulture and Blood Shadow Mad Lion by Chu Linfeng’s side were also listed as targets for elimination. Earlier, everyone overlooked this due to the confrontation with Shangguan Ruhuo. Even if some had thought of it, they wouldn’t dare to say it out loud. But now, with Chu Linfeng transforming into a golden dragon, the reality dawned on them.
"You cannot attack Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng is of the Golden Dragon Body, he has Human Race bloodline within him. You better keep this in mind. If he escapes today, I believe any sect will end up like the Profound Celestial Pavilion," Xuanyuan Yueyan stated.
"He has Human Race bloodline? Are you saying he is the offspring of the Golden Dragon and Human Race? How is that possible?" Nangong Ming asked Xuanyuan Yueyan.
"His father is of Human Race, and his mother is a Golden Dragon. Can you see the possibility? Right now, Lin Feng is undergoing Thunder Tribulation. If he successfully overcomes it, possessing the Cyan Frost Divine Sword would make him even more formidable against you. Moreover, he inherently identifies as a human. If you persist in targeting him, you know very well what the consequences will be," Xuanyuan Yueyan said.
Nangong Ming and Qin Xiaojiao fell silent for a moment, "If that’s the case, we’ll consider him as part of the Human Race. Having such a friend in the Immortal Realm would indeed be quite prestigious. However, some people are consistently targeting him, and I believe his sect is not far from annihilation."
Zuo Gufei’s face turned dark; he couldn’t believe Chu Linfeng was the product of the Human and Dragon Races. Nangong Ming and Qin Xiaojiao expressed their position not to oppose him, and now the Profound Celestial Pavilion was directly wiped out. The Immortal Realm no longer had any power to stop him. If he were to target Cold Sha Emperor Palace, it would be very easy. I must hurry back to prepare.
In his heart, he hoped that Chu Linfeng would turn to ashes under the lightning so he wouldn’t have to worry. After exchanging glances with Nangong Ming and Qin Xiaojiao, he quietly flew away.
At this moment, Chu Linfeng’s body surged with golden light. The trace of bloodline power made him uncomfortable with its swelling, so he simply flew into the tribulation clouds to stir them up. Such a crazy move might only be possible for him, seeing the expressions of those below change drastically.
Chu Linfeng’s golden dragon body was nearly thousands of meters long, constantly swaying his huge dragon tail within the tribulation clouds, dispersing them significantly. The thunderbolts in the sky kept striking him, but this time, oddly enough, the lightning brought him a refreshing sensation.
His body was painfully swollen and needed external force at this moment. After a while, the feeling of distended pain gradually disappeared. Chu Linfeng flew into the sky, and at this moment, the tribulation clouds gathered once more into a thick cloud layer several miles in radius in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this cloud layer, Chu Linfeng was also startled. Such powerful tribulation clouds couldn’t fathom how strong their lightning might be, but this was the final bolt of lightning, and he was confident he could take it.
Nangong Ming and Qin Xiaojiao retreated repeatedly, stopping only several miles away. No one knew how powerful the thunderbolts in such terrifying tribulation clouds were, possibly devastating a large area with just one strike.
At this time, the tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly brightened. Chu Linfeng knew the final bolt of lightning was about to descend. The chaotic immortal power within him was running wild, simultaneously using Earth Transformation to envelop his entire dragon body, preparing to directly bear this final strike.
A ten-meter-wide white lightning bolt descended from the sky, upon its appearance it was like a giant beam of light, blinding everyone.
The lightning accurately struck Chu Linfeng’s golden dragon body, a painful dragon roar was emitted from his mouth, and his enormous dragon body was directly driven underground. The earth shook as if an earthquake occurred; countless rocks erupted from the soil, instantly forming a mountain on the open ground of Profound Celestial Pavilion.
The tribulation clouds in the sky faded away suddenly, revealing the original scene, yet now the sky was filled with stars, reaching midnight. Nangong Ming and Xuanyuan Yueyan and the others were halfway up the mountain at this moment.
To have the ground smashed into a mountain during a Thunder Tribulation sounds like a fairy tale, yet it was real. Thus, the incident of Chu Linfeng overcoming tribulation directly became a myth in the Immortal Realm—a myth that many find hard to believe.
"This lightning strike was so fierce; can Lin Feng survive it?" Nangong Ming worriedly said.
"It’s hard to say. Such powerful thunderbolts, let alone you and me, possibly even a Divine Being upon ascension couldn’t necessarily handle it. I’m truly worried for him," Qin Xiaojiao said.
Xuanyuan Yueyan glanced at the nearby Golden Demon Vulture and Xiaoying, saying: "Lin Feng didn’t die, but the specific situation is unknown. Since the Golden-Winged Roc and Blood Shadow Frenzied Lion, who have signed a Soul Contract with him, are safe and sound, then he is also safe."
Upon hearing Xuanyuan Yueyan say this, everyone felt reassured. Xuanyuan Changtian could only stand obediently aside, unable to leave and felt embarrassed to speak. He couldn’t understand how Yueyan encountered such a terrifying figure, and it was even more disturbing that his Xuanyuan Sword had inexplicably vanished.
Everyone waited anxiously for Chu Linfeng to emerge, while Chu Linfeng at that moment transformed into a human body, surrounded by a layer of multicolored glow...
