Chapter 123: 95: The Wisdom of the Demon Beast, Dragon Transformation Sect [Please Subscribe]
This was likely the Dark Flood Dragon's last struggle!
Atop a mountain peak, Zhou Chun watched the battlefield from a distance of several dozen miles, no longer harboring any doubts about the outcome of the battle.
As soon as the Dark Flood Dragon emerged from its cave, it was quickly set upon and beaten by five Purple Mansion Cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple.
This time, it even lost its home-field advantage, its strength failing to reach the level it had before.
After about four hours of fighting, the Dark Flood Dragon was covered in wounds, bereft of its previous ferocity.
Aoo——
With a reluctant and unwilling roar, the Dark Flood Dragon gave its lair one last reluctant look before suddenly spitting out its inner core.
Compared to the inner core the Green Flood Dragon had spat out before, the Dark Flood Dragon's was much larger and brighter, naturally indicating vastly greater power.
When it spat out its inner core, the Green Lotus Temple Cultivators all tightened their focus, slowing their offensive as their attention centered on the potent inner core.
The attack potential of a Demon Beast's inner core was no laughing matter; their magic artifacts could be destroyed by it.
More importantly, there was an extreme use for a Demon Beast's inner core: self-destruction!
Once a Demon Beast detonated its inner core, its power would surpass any spell or divine skill, and any Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator hit directly at close range would almost certainly not survive!
Now, with the Dark Flood Dragon needing to protect the eggs in its lair, it was uncertain whether it would resort to such measures.
Naturally, the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators were not willing to gamble their lives on the chance that it would not.
Just then, the Dark Flood Dragon used the immense power of its inner core to clear a path, blasting away several magic artifacts and breaking through the siege in an instant.
Yes, it broke through!
To the complete surprise of the five Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple, the Dark Flood Dragon broke free and escaped into the torrential waters of the Cangyun River.
This unexpected turn of events left the Green Lotus Temple Purple Mansion Cultivators momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, one of the Daoists, as though realizing something, quickly reacted and exclaimed, "No good! We can't let it get away! The Flood Dragon Egg is likely on it!"
Upon hearing this, the others instantly understood and hurriedly gave chase to the fleeing Dark Flood Dragon.
After fighting for so long, the Dark Flood Dragon bore traces of their power left on it, naturally allowing them to track it; for the moment, there was no concern of losing the trail.
"What is it doing? Using itself as bait to create an opportunity for the Green Flood Dragon to escape?"
On the mountain peak, Zhou Chun was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the Dark Flood Dragon breaking through into the water, expressing his surprise with a speculative remark.
As for the words of the Green Lotus Temple Purple Mansion Cultivators, he naturally could not hear them because of the distance.
Hearing Zhou Chun's words, Zhou Daoyi responded with a somber look in his eyes, "Regardless of what it is doing, if the Green Flood Dragon is trying to escape, it won't be so easy!"
Sure enough, as if in response to Zhou Daoyi's words.
As the five Purple Mansion Cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple chased after the Dark Flood Dragon, several Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from Yunzhou who had been watching the battle in secret came out, activating their magic artifacts and spells to bombard the Flood Dragon Nest, aiming to force out the Green Flood Dragon inside.
The earth shook and the mountains trembled!
Under the assault of the three Yunzhou Purple Mansion Cultivators, the mountain housing the Flood Dragon Nest immediately began to shake violently, with large swaths of rock splitting and falling, looking as though it would collapse at any moment.
Under such circumstances, the Water Demons that had been hiding inside the Flood Dragon Nest couldn't maintain their composure any longer and rushed out in large numbers.
Various oddly shaped Water Demons surged out of the Flood Dragon Nest one after another, with varying levels of cultivation.
Some of the stronger ones were second-order Demon Beasts, equivalent to Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The weaker ones were barely on par with mid-stage Qi Refinement Cultivators.
In less than a quarter of an hour, over a hundred Water Demons had burst out of the Flood Dragon Nest.
Upon emerging, these Water Demons headed towards the distant river to escape. Stay updated with m-v le-mpyr
However, with so many Cultivators gathered in the Flying Horse Mountain region, it was unlikely they would just watch these Water Demons return to the water.
At once, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators and later-stage Qi Refinement Cultivators who had been observing the battle from various forests took to the sky.
Once the Water Demons had traveled a distance from the Flood Dragon Nest, they directly intercepted and began a massacre.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but look towards Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi beside him and said, "Clan Leader, won't you try? Those Dragon Descendant Aquatic Demons have some of the Flood Dragon bloodline in them. Surely, your Sky Azure Cloud Python could benefit from devouring them?"
Hearing this, Zhou Daoyi, with a disdainful expression, shook his head and replied, "They are mere lower-grade Dragon Descendant Water Demons, bred from Flood Dragon Spirit Blood. In time, without the nourishment of the Flood Dragon's aura, most of them will regress to ordinary Water Demons. What use are they to us?"
Hearing his response, Zhou Chun had no choice but to fall silent.
Looking back at the Flood Dragon Nest, even as a large number of cultivated Water Demon servants had fled, the Green Flood Dragon inside seemed to be firmly entrenched, showing no sign of emerging.
"Don't want to come out, huh? Then I'll just bury you alive!"
In the sky, the yellow-robed man who had previously been involved in besieging the Green Flood Dragon's eyes flashed coldly. He immediately boosted the power of his long staff magic artifact to its maximum, transforming it into a giant stone pillar that he slammed viciously onto the mountain peak above the Flood Dragon Nest.
Boom!
Violent roars echoed through the mountains, as a hundred-zhang tall mountain peak cracked under the yellow-robed man's strike, and a mass of rocks and dirt tumbled down, burying much of the entrance to the Flood Dragon Nest.
