Chapter 501: Chapter 67: Spacetime-Attribute Juvenile Flood Dragon
Falling incessantly downward, he was about to plummet into the Dragon Transformation Pond bubbling with blood foam. Xie Yu’s heart had already cursed the ancestors of Lady Qingyan and General Mo Lin to the eighteenth generation.
With a thought, his body suddenly lightened, as if freed from shackles. He somersaulted in midair like a Spirit Bird, launching a direct attack on Lady Qingyan.
Lady Qingyan never expected Xie Yu to still be able to fight back, caught off guard, he struck her completely by surprise.
The witch patterns on the Witch Cloud Cloak Xie Yu was wearing shimmered, looking extremely splendid.
If one were to say the Ten-layered Sea Suppressing Ring was a treasure that could calm the seas, then the Witch Cloud Cloak was an instrument for flight, making one light as a feather; combined with Xie Yu’s movement technique, although it didn’t completely negate the force of the Ten-layered Sea Suppressing Ring, it was enough to allow Xie Yu to recover the dexterity of an ordinary person.
Xie Yu was an assassin—the moment he made his move, blood was bound to be drawn.
With a point of his jade-like finger, he aimed straight for Lady Qingyan’s throat, and in an instant, a small cut appeared there.
With eyes wide open, Lady Qingyan, who simply couldn’t believe she would lose to an assassin, fell into the Dragon Transformation Pond like a fallen autumn leaf.
Just as Lady Qingyan was about to fall into the pond, an unexpected change occurred. A Chaos Mantis flashed by, wielding the Mantis Swords on its arms, severing Lady Qingyan’s fingers.
Lady Qingyan’s body fell into the Blood Pool, soon submerged by the pool’s waters.
Upon her severed finger, the Sea Suppressing Square Ring shone brightly.
"Damn, it’s indeed a case of the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind; I’ve become the prey," Xie Yu spat, no longer able to withstand the power of the Ten-layered Sea Suppressing Ring, he knelt down for the second time, probably more times on this day alone than he had in his entire life.
The Chaos Mantis, casting its gaze over the crowd, spoke in human tongue, "Human Race, after so many years of slaughtering the Dark Beasts, did you ever think that one day, you too would fall prey to the beasts?" It glanced at the Dragon Transformation Pond, now filled to seventy percent, hesitation flickering in its belly eyes as it contemplated whether to throw these humans into the Dragon Transformation Pond as well.
After all, it still had half of the Human Race’s blood flowing through its veins.
"Ah--" As the Chaos Mantis hesitated, Shalman, who was kneeling on the ground and unable to move, let out a cry of horror.
The Chaos Mantis hesitated briefly, then felt an incredibly sharp Hurricane approaching from behind. It whirled around, the Sea Suppressing Square Ring in its hand flickering with black light.
A young dragon with black armor and green pupils materialized out of thin air in the middle of the Sky Altar.
"It’s a dragon, my god, it’s a juvenile dragon," the young dragon wore tough black armor, but its back was adorned with a pair of five-colored wings, and the hurricane had emerged from the mouth of the Black Dragon.
"No, that’s not right, dragons have nine claws; that’s a flood dragon," Shalman noticed, the young black dragon had only eight claws.
"A Jiaolong, could it be the juvenile Jiaolong from Kalan Peak we’ve been searching for?" The members of the July Mercenary Team felt their minds buzzing.
Yue Jinghua had long speculated that the Dark Beast Dragon Egg transported by the "Second Generation Soldier" Mercenary Team had already hatched. They had been searching around Xuan Beast Ridge for many days but had never found any trace of the juvenile flood dragon; little did they know, this juvenile flood dragon had also infiltrated the Sky Dragon Palace.
And it was also vying for the Dragon Transformation Pond.
The Dragon Transformation Pond, according to legend, allowed Dark Beasts and Dark Practitioners to shed their mortal coils and ascend to the Dan Realm.
The fluids churning in the Dragon Transformation Pond now were the fresh blood of three Holy Beasts.
"Jiaolong Clan, you too covet the Dragon Transformation Pond, but unfortunately, although the bodies of the Jiaolong Clan are strong, it’s a pity, for I wield the Ten-layered Sea Suppressing Ring," the Chaos Mantis panted, the oppressive might of the Jiaolong Clan was immensely powerful, and even though it was just a juvenile, the pressure it exerted was considerable.
Fortunately, the Chaos Mantis had the Ten-layered Sea Suppressing Square Ring in its hand, which allowed it to barely contend with the juvenile flood dragon.
The Sea Suppressing Square Ring released a gravity restriction that surged towards the Juvenile Flood Dragon like a tide.
"Roar---" The Juvenile Flood Dragon suddenly stretched its front claws, and its sharp claws instantly pierced through the gravity restriction.
With a flicker of its colorful wings, it vanished from the sight of the Chaos Mantis.
"Space-time, a Jiaolong of the space-time attribute, damn, am I seeing things," Jin Nuo, among the crowd and from the Imperial Dragon Rider Team, knew the Jiaolong Clan best. His Black Beauty was also from the Asian Flying Dragon Race, possessing the ability to fly.
Black Beauty had some space-time attributes, but due to being a hybrid, the Black Winged Dragon couldn’t fully leverage the advantages of the Dragon Clan with space-time attributes.
The Jiaolong Clan with space-time attributes were natural space-time travelers. With their sharp claws, they could ruthlessly tear apart Plane Prohibitions hundreds of times stronger than gravity.
If it were any ordinary time, Jin Nuo would have been ecstatic at the sight of a space-time attribute Juvenile Flood Dragon, but at this moment, he was also facing the threat of the Dragon Transformation Pond, and all he could do was fret helplessly.
The Young Dragon suddenly appeared behind the Chaos Mantis, striking with a heavy blow and knocking down the Chaos Mantis.
From a physical strength standpoint, no Dark Beast on the continent could overpower the Jiaolong Clan.
Despite its young age, the Juvenile Flood Dragon’s flying speed and impact force were incredibly astonishing. Had it not been for the Chaos Mantis wearing the Rao Ri Armor, it might have been severely wounded by now.
Even so, the Chaos Mantis got knocked askew and sent flying, losing grip of the Sea Suppressing Square Ring in the process.
Once the gravity restriction was lifted, everyone on the ground leaped up immediately.
Bo Xiyu and Jin Nuo exerted force under their feet and shot towards the Sea Suppressing Square Ring like arrows.
A Divine Artifact; that was what all the Dark Practitioners on the main roads were crazy about, not to mention that at this moment, within the Sky Altar, the Sea Suppressing Square Ring was an even more valuable asset for restraining everyone.
"Black Beauty," Jin Nuo immediately summoned his own mount, taking a high-speed dive straight for the square ring.
Suddenly, the space-time attribute Juvenile Flood Dragon performed Instantaneous Movement and was about to snatch away the Sea Suppressing Square Ring once more.
"Swoosh--" An arrow shot straight at it, hitting the tail of the Juvenile Flood Dragon.
In the nick of time, Feng Buhui had already turned into his Demon Crossbow form. Arrows poured down like a torrential rain, blocking the escape routes of the Juvenile Flood Dragon.
"Roar--" The Juvenile Flood Dragon was furiously unstoppable.
Although the strength of these humans was trifling, they were as annoying as persistent ants, attacking wave after wave, impossible to shake off.
The Juvenile Flood Dragon tilted its head like a human and pondered for a moment, then suddenly disappeared.
Upon its disappearance, it left behind not even a trace of its presence.
Even though the Juvenile Flood Dragon vanished, the crowd did not dare to relax, staying alert and scanning their surroundings, fearing that the Juvenile Flood Dragon might suddenly pounce out from somewhere.
The Chaos Mantis lay on the ground, breathing heavily, its silvery white belly eyes sweeping around as well.
It was then that it suddenly spat human words: "Dragon Transformation Pond, it’s going to transform into a dragon!"
Everyone’s gaze suddenly tightened, turning to look at the Dragon Transformation Pond, only to see the Juvenile Flood Dragon abruptly appearing above it, rushing towards the Dragon Transformation Pond at full speed.
