Free Web NovelChapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Charge Into the Dragon Palace
Nero wasn’t entirely afraid of the Lord of the Dragon Realm; even the rather tricky Zhuo Geng could be taken down by the five Sons of Origin without coercion if there was no time constraint. The current issue, similar to the one in Half Moon Gorge, is time!
They cannot afford to delay! Though the Blood Slaughter Legion appears unstoppable, the Dragon Realm still possesses the advantage of time, place, and harmony. The five Sons of Origin are akin to a sharp blade, and if their attack momentum is thwarted, preventing them from quickly piercing the heart of the Dragon Realm to achieve their objective, the continuous influx of troops from both races will grind them to dust.
"Someone will come forward to face the enemy, so you can focus on your surprise attack and carry out your task."
"Let’s see what you Blood Slaughter scoundrels can do today!" As Bai Ze was comforting Nero, they were suddenly met with Long Taichu’s robust roar.
With the voice resonating in their ears, the blood-red sky within the Blood Killing Space suddenly turned dark. Nero looked up, involuntarily gasping and blurting out: "The power to shift mountains and seas!"
Two colossal mountain bodies, without visible borders, descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Blood Slaughter Legion within. This is the Daoist Realm Dragon Race’s specialty: the sorcery of shifting mountains and seas!
"This is too exaggerated!" Shitang Longsi squinted and bitterly smiled. He’d heard of this sorcery, but its effect was usually comparable to merely two small mountains. However, today it’s like connecting two mountain ranges, and if this attack lands, the five of them could break through, but the remaining forces would suffer greatly.
Despite knowing he couldn’t shatter them in one go, Shitang Longsi had no choice but to confront them head-on, unleashing his abilities. With a long knife, he slashed with the source energy entwined with lightning, carving a massive hundred-meter trench at the base of the descending mountains. Numerous rock fragments and mud fell like hail, deflected aside by Shitang Longsi’s protective source energy.
This slash was indeed imposing, but the sheer size of the two mountain bodies rendered it insufficient to inflict substantial damage. Just as Shitang Longsi made his move, the other Sons of Origin, along with Blood Slaughter masters and the Dark Race experts, simultaneously attacked the mountains. The sky was filled with crisscrossing source energies and spells, and under such dense and powerful sorcery bombardment, the two mountains finally shattered into several sections before fully descending, engulfing most of the battlefield in a split second.
The counterattack of numerous masters, though it broke the mountain’s offensive, caused the entire surprise attack team to scatter while evading large mountain sections. At this moment, Dragon Realm experts, led by the new Dragon King Long Taichu, charged in.
"Rush through! Don’t stop!" Bai Ze glanced at Long Taichu, who had entered the fray like a tiger among wolves, and the two powerful elders beside him. Rather than confronting them, Bai Ze opened a path and led the team to attack from the flanks.
"You think you can leave so easily!" Long Taichu roared, flipping his hand to block their path.
"Your opponent is me!"
From the Blood Slaughter crowd, three inconspicuous figures leaped out. The leading figure intercepted Long Taichu’s attack, their colliding source energy revealing the hooded face of a pale, bloodless complexion. Seeing this person, Long Taichu’s expression darkened as he coldly said, "Delacuri, so it’s you, and you were the one who coerced Zhuo Geng in the gorge into surrendering."
"We fought only once, that was millennia ago, right? You remember me, how rare!" Delacuri, who visited the Dragon Realm in his true form this time, replied with a slight bow to show respect to the new Lord of the Dragon Realm after his identity was revealed, and responded with a smile.
"Yes, who would have thought that the once notorious Grand Duke of the Blood Race, now a Prince, has become a lackey of the Blood Slaughter. I don’t understand why you are so loyal to a Lord of the Plane when all of you are superficial towards your Master of Origin, unwilling to be managed." Upon Delacuri’s appearance, Long Taichu knew the situation was dire. Delacuri alone needed his full attention, due to his malevolent nature. If not thoroughly suppressed, his presence would cause immense casualties for the Dragon Realm.
"Hehehe, loyalty means nothing. As long as there’s enough profit, it can motivate most people to abandon their faith, organization, or even family." Delacuri was indifferent to Long Taichu’s mockery; his goals today were twofold: eliminate Pei Yan and hold off Dragon Realm experts to help the five Sons of Origin achieve their first goal. How he temporized was his own matter; he’d avoid fighting if possible.
"I want to know what immense profit compelled you to offend the entire Dragon Realm!"
Faced with Long Taichu’s raging question, Delacuri sighed reluctantly: "If I could avoid it, I wouldn’t want to oppose your Dragon Realm so early. But today’s matter isn’t solely for profit; it’s because you collaborated with someone you shouldn’t have." After finishing, Delacuri’s expression turned grim, and his icy malevolent gaze traversed Long Taichu, glaring deep into the Dragon Palace, seething: "That person mustn’t be allowed to grow stronger; he must be dealt with today."
"Phoenix! Take people and prevent them; this battlefield is ours to resolve, and they absolutely mustn’t reach the Dragon Palace’s depths or allow the Ancestral God’s esteemed guest to encounter issues." Long Taichu, upon hearing this, realized the trouble. This group indeed aimed for Pei Yan. Although he hardly concerned himself with this outsider’s life or death, one of those responsible for safeguarding this individual was his daughter. Additionally, Pei Yan was a key figure in the Ancestral God’s future plans and must remain unharmed under his protection.
Upon receiving Long Taichu’s orders, Phoenix surveyed the battlefield before him, then glanced at Bai Ze’s group forcing their way through, carving a bloody path toward the Dragon Palace’s depths, comprehending Long Taichu’s intent, he responded casually, leading several clan leaders in pursuit.
"Should we head straight to where Pei Yan is now?" Having shattered the defenses set by Long Taichu and others, Ivan’s face flushed with excitement. If Pei Yan were indeed with a bodily constraint inside the Dragon Palace, and after the battle reached this point he still hadn’t appeared, then it suggested an immeasurable opportunity for revenge he couldn’t pass up.
"No, before dealing with Pei Yan, we have a more pressing matter to attend to!"
