Chapter 3291 - Killing a Nine-clawed Blood Dragon

Chapter 3291: Killing a Nine-clawed Blood Dragon

Ji Xuan let out a deafening roar as his body began to twist. Soon enough, he reverted to a divine dragon that was more than 10,000 meters long. The scales on his body were blood-red, and he had nine claws in each of his paws. His eyes glinted dangerously, and his body emitted the metallic scent of blood.

“He’s a Nine-clawed Blood Dragon!”

Meng Hao Xuan and the other two people widened their eyes in shock and horror when they saw Ji Xuan’s true form.

A nine-clawed divine dragon was considered a top-tier Celestial Beast in the Devata Realms. Barring any mishaps, most of them were able to easily become Ten Directions Celestial Emperors even if it was not the case if they wanted to become a god.

Perhaps, only the legendary ten-clawed divine dragon would stand a chance to become a god. However, ten-clawed divine dragons were not considered Celestial Beasts. It would be more accurate to classify them as Divine Beasts. Their status was the same as the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. However, unlike the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox that would only appear once every 1,00,000 years, a ten-clawed divine dragon would appear in the dragon clan once every 100,000 years.

“Boy, I will tear you into pieces!” The Nine-clawed Blood Dragon’s eyes flashed with a terrifying light as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian at top speed. At the same time, he brandished his front claws that glinted under the light.

In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian’s seven-colored sword ray was deflected by Ji Xuan in his true form.

‘A nine-clawed divine dragon?’ As soon as Duan Ling Tian saw Ji Xuan was a Nine-clawed Blood Dragon, he began to take the fight seriously.

Nine-clawed divine dragons that had become Celestial Lords possessed claws that were equivalent to Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. Once they became Celestial Emperors, their scales would be as tough as purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. Apart from that, they have extraordinary comprehension skills as well. There was a reason nine-clawed divine dragons were known to be blessed among top-tier Celestial Beasts, after all.

As the Nine-clawed Blood Dragon danced in the air, snowflakes began to fall in the air. Soon enough, even the air seemed to freeze as a wall of ice appeared out of thin air.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had just teleported away was frozen into a statue of ice.

Ji Xuan, the Nine-clawed Blood Dragon, pointed his claws at Duan Ling Tian before two deadly icicles shot out.

‘Go!’ With just a thought, the air around Duan Ling Tian twisted and rippled violently before the ice that encased him shattered. Nevertheless, as soon as it shattered, ice began to form again.

“So you comprehended the law of ice? Not bad, but it’s not good enough,” Duan Ling Tian said coldly before he teleported 10,000 meters away, leaving the freezing range in an instant.

“He has comprehended the Teleportation Profundity to the mastery stage!” Meng Hao Xuan and the others exclaimed in unison. They could easily tell Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity to the mastery stage since he was able to teleport out of the range of Ji Xuan Frozen Profundity that had been comprehended to the mastery stage as well. It was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to escape the range of the Frozen Profundity that had been comprehended to the mastery stage if his Teleportation Profundity was still at the initial stage.

“Is this all you’ve got?” Duan Ling Tian said with a hint of disdain. Although Ji Xuan was rather strong after he reverted to his true form, he was only almost comparable to the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Liu Jian. How could he be a match for Duan Ling Tian who had easily killed Liu Jian?

“Brat, don’t get cocky.” Ji Xuan roared and attacked again. His 10,000-meter-long body seemed to occupy all the space in the air as he flew toward Duan Ling Tian.

“It’s time to end this.” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned frosty. He no longer held back as he cast the profundities from the law of space and shot a seven-colored sword ray out of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.

Swoosh!

Just like before, after Duan Ling Tian cast the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity, nine grey sword rays shot out of nine spatial tears respectively.

“This…” Ji Xuan’s eyes widened in fear. He could clearly sense Duan Ling Tian’s attack was much more terrifying than the one before. Despite sensing the overwhelming force of the attack, he did not give up. A buzzing noise rang in the air as he cast a formation on himself. Blood-red scripts appeared on the sides of his body in just an instant before he was shrouded with a blood-red energy.

Following that, the blood-red energy from the formation merged with his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of ice before shooting toward Duan Ling Tian.

“It seems like I’ve underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be so strong. This technique should be unique to a Nine-clawed Blood Dragon, right?” Duan Ling Tian said; his voice was still as indifferent as ever. With this technique, Ji Xuan was now stronger than Liu Jian. Nevertheless, it did not make a difference to Duan Ling Tian who was significantly stronger than Liu Jian.

When Ji Xuan’s attack collided with Duan Ling Tian’s attack, a huge shockwave rippled out, forcing Meng Hao Xuan and the other two to quickly erect a shield for protection.

“No!!!” A cry laden with despair, disbelief, and regrets rang in the air at this moment.

At that same time, the seven-colored sword ray pierced the dragon’s head without any resistance, destroying Ji Xuan’s soul.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Following that, the nine sword rays from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity shredded Ji Xuan’s body into pieces. The platform seemed to shake when pieces of Ji Xuan’s body fell on it.

Just like that, Ji Xuan, the prodigious disciple from the heaven-grade Blood Dragon Clan in the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven, was dead!

“He’s too powerful!” Meng Hao Xuan only regained his senses when Ji Xuan’s body parts began to fall around him. He could barely conceal the shock in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again. He truly did not expect the unassuming young man would possess such impressive strength. Even he, himself, was not sure he would be able to withstand Ji Xuan’s final attack. However, Duan Ling Tian not only destroyed Ji Xuan’s destructive attack, but he also killed Ji Xuan!

Swoosh!

At this moment, the seven-colored sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand disappeared into his body. The others did not think much of this and assumed it was just an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Ever since Huang’er had fused with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and became its sword soul, she was able to disguise the sword as an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Let alone Meng Hao Xuan and the others, even titled Celestial Emperors would not be able to tell it was a Devata artifact as long as Duan Ling Tian did not exert its strength beyond that of an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon.

After Duan Ling Tian collected Ji Xuan’s Spatial Ring and Celestial Weapons, Meng Hao Xuan stepped forward and said, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to comprehend all of the profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage when your cultivation base is only average!”

“I’m just slightly stronger than Ji Xuan, that’s all,” Duan Ling Tian said modestly. Meanwhile, he nodded in satisfaction after he had collected Ji Xuan’s corpse as well.

The corpse of a nine-clawed divine dragon was incredibly useful. It could be refined and forged into an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon among other things. Adding other materials, one could even forge a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon.

In terms of value, Ji Xuan’s corpse was much more valuable than all the treasures in his Spatial Ring combined. Just his claws alone could be used to forge many Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons!

The corners of Meng Hao Xuan’s lips twitched when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. After a moment, he changed the topic and said, “Duan Ling Tian, this platform is strange. We couldn’t figure out a way to leave. Do you have any idea?”

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian began to investigate with his Divine Consciousness. However, he did not find anything unusual.

“Sister Water,” Duan Ling Tian called out. At a loss, he could only ask for help from the World Cleansing Divine Water. The World Cleansing Divine Water was like an encyclopedia to him. After all, the longer one lived, the more knowledgeable one would be.

“This is a test on your ability to deactivate formations,” the Word Cleansing Divine Water replied after observing Duan Ling Tian’s surroundings.

“Deactivate formations? There are formations here?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised.

“Yes,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said, “However, they aren’t offensive, defensive, or illusory formations. They’re just minor formations layered together to prevent you from leaving. You can think of them as a kind of restraining formation…”

“How do we render the formations useless?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

“It’s simple.”

With the World Cleansing Divine Water’s instructions, Duan Ling Tian only took 15 minutes to deactivate the formation that prevented them from leaving the platform.

“Alright.”

In just a blink of an eye, an open door appeared in the air above the platform. However, it was pitch black behind the door so no one knew where it led to.

At this moment, Meng Hao Xuan and the other two people were filled with admiration for Duan Ling Tian. Previously, they, along with Ji Xuan, had looked around the platform for a long time, and yet, they could not figure out how to leave the platform. However, it only took Duan Ling Tian 15 minutes or so to dispel the formation that prevented them from leaving.
