Free Web NovelChapter 574: Chapter 290: Refining the Dragon Soul! Netherworld Fire Dragon (Part 2)
This Flood Dragon Demon Court likely has quite a few strong individuals. With years of accumulation, there might even be some ancient bloodline Flood Dragons, which are terrifying existences equivalent to the Nascent Soul Level, so Zheng Yi is currently at a disadvantage and should avoid direct confrontation.
This is why Zheng Yi ordered the collection of all resources and commanded to leave this place.
As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand near a crumbling wall!
After the previous selection, a large number of pirates were directly devoured of their Divine Souls, leaving only the elites, who moved relatively quickly.
"Well, there is still time now, just right to refine this Flood Dragon Soul first."
Zheng Yi thought, and behind him, the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree suddenly bloomed. One branch shone brightly, dazzling firelight like cotton in flames, revealing brilliant colors.
Immediately, in the burning flames, the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield suddenly appeared in Zheng Yi’s hand.
At the same time, the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield emitted a rich red glow, and the five dragon shadows formed by spirit fire exploded with intense spiritual power fluctuations, continuously swirling and coiling around Zheng Yi’s body.
Intermittently, the air was filled with the resounding sounds of dragon roars.
At this moment, Zheng Yi flipped his palm, and the Chaos Cyan Gourd appeared in his hand. He gently wiped the gourd’s mouth, and a struggling dragon shadow roared as it was gently pulled out by him, desperately trying to escape from his grasp.
Obviously, the Core Formation Stage Flood Dragon Soul’s Divine Soul was stable. Previously, it was a bit confused by the terrible force, and now it finally recalled past events and desperately wanted to escape here.
If it could return to the Demon Court and re-enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, there might still be hope for rebirth.
But at this moment, it was already powerless to resist, struggling like a small loach, unable to break free from Zheng Yi’s grasp, shaking its body desperately without any help.
"Go!"
Zheng Yi’s expression was emotionless, without a trace of compassion, as he flicked his right hand, and the dragon soul flew directly into the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield.
The scorching red immediately burned fiercely, transforming into brilliant Fire Essence, bursting with dazzling brilliance, incinerating the struggling dragon soul.
Under the terrible flames, the unicorne Flood Dragon’s dragon soul twisted painfully, struggling frantically, but the terrifying power directly confined its power of the soul, giving it no chance to struggle.
Eventually, the wisdom originally belonging to the unicorne dragon soul was completely incinerated, transforming into a mass of pure dragon-shaped soul power.
After being refined, the dragon soul, tinged with red light, was involuntarily drawn into the core of the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield.
Amidst a flash of dazzling firelight, a true dragon shadow appeared.
This was not the previous illusory dragon shape, which had form but no essence.
It was a true Dragon Soul.
Just like putting the finishing touch on a painting of a dragon.
One of the five dragon shapes of the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield finally had a soul spirit.
This was like a Magical Treasure awakening an Artifact Spirit, birthing its own consciousness.
A fundamental difference.
Roar! Roar!
Thunderous roars erupted from the dragon shadow’s mouth, echoing across the sky.
The terrifying dragon might oppressed the heavens, the rampant airflow raged through the world, and the terrifying tide of momentum directly impacted the surroundings, increasing the power of the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield by at least twenty percent.
"Indeed, according to the previous spell deduced, only by refining a Flood Dragon Soul truly containing the Dragon Bloodline into its origin can the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield, this true form of the divine treasure, be truly perfected!"
"Previously, the Flood Dragon Race members were all mighty, traversing the deep sea, so they weren’t easy to find..."
"But now, with the Flood Dragon Imperial Court at war with the Human Race Cultivators, encountering members of the Flood Dragon Race shouldn’t be difficult, saving me some effort!"
Zheng Yi was in a great mood, not even lamenting about soon losing his home base, Azure Waves Island.
After all, Azure Waves Island was not the foundation of his sect.
Losing it was no loss.
The field would be recovered sooner or later.
The benefits in hand were real.
Zheng Yi held the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield and lightly tossed it towards the sky. Instantly, with the fluctuation of his magical power, five dragon shadows swirled around him, forming a massive protective light barrier.
Within it, the divine dragon infused with the unicorne Flood Dragon Soul enveloped Zheng Yi’s body, its surging flames burning fiercely, transforming into some powerful spiritual object, capable of withstanding any terrifying attack.
A vivid dragon shadow coiled behind Zheng Yi, raising its dragon head, displaying a strong spirituality, as if it were alive, mastering the Netherworld True Flame, transforming into a Netherworld Fire Dragon.
Moments later, the divine dragon returned to the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield.
Zheng Yi pinched a finger technique and withdrew the Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield, hanging it back on the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, letting all return to silence and stillness.
Only Zheng Yi’s meditating figure remained, radiating ripples.
The Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree unfolded behind him, with seven Origin Stars hanging upon it, each star origin containing the true form of a magical treasure.
The Celestial Demon Relic revolved behind his head, while the Nine Bends of the Yellow Springs Array spread out above him.
...
After refining the unicorne Flood Dragon’s dragon soul, Zheng Yi closed his eyes and waited for all members on Azure Waves Island to pack up and leave.
About a day’s time later, Zheng Yi awoke from meditation.
His eyes flashed with golden light, his form paused, then transformed into a streak of golden light, disappearing from where he stood, and when he appeared again, he was already in the sky.
Looking down, the fleet from Azure Waves Island had long been prepared, just waiting for Zheng Yi, the Master of Celestial Demons, to give the order.
Zheng Yi landed on the lead dragon-head warship, and with a wave of his hand, the already prepared fleet of Azure Waves Island set sail immediately, speeding towards the distant sea regions, gradually moving further away until it became just a black dot on the horizon, eventually disappearing entirely.
In just one night.
The newly risen Azure Waves Island in the East Origin Sea Region suddenly became deserted.
No one saw this coming.
...
And just as Zheng Yi had anticipated.
About half a day after packing up and fleeing Azure Waves Island.
The news of the unicorne Flood Dragon’s fall caused an uproar in the Flood Dragon Demon Court.
The failed deployment was an affront to the Flood Dragon Demon Court, a severe provocation that could not be tolerated.
The Flood Dragon Imperial Court was greatly enraged, directly dispatching four more fearsome adult Flood Dragons to besiege the emerging Azure Waves Island.
For thousands of years, the Flood Dragon Imperial Court had reigned over the deep sea of the East Origin Sea Region with terrifying power.
Even the Human Race Cultivators of the Thirty-Six Islands tried to avoid direct conflict with them.
Whether it was the Great Pirate Gang or the Great Commerce Association with immense wealth, if their ships were capsized by deep-sea Flood Dragons, generally they would try to downplay the incident.
In the deep sea, various Sea Demon Communities did not dare to defy the orders of the Flood Dragon Imperial Court in the slightest.
Even the few Sea Races that publicly acted independently could only make minor moves in private, never daring to openly challenge the Imperial Envoys.
Yet surprisingly, this time, such a rebellious Azure Waves Island appeared, not only defying the orders of the Flood Dragon Imperial Court but also boldly killing a Flood Dragon Envoy.
And what was more insane, they extracted the dragon sinew and soul.
This was simply a desecration of the Flood Dragon Imperial Court, a direct slap in the face to the Flood Dragon Race of the East Origin Sea.
Four fierce, enormous Flood Dragons revealed their true forms, each two to three hundred meters long, wherever they went, churning the waters and creating massive tidal waves.
The terrifying tide surged, and any human commerce ships or fleets standing in their path were reduced to ruins.
With full fury, the four Flood Dragons, alongside the Sea Patrol Yaksha and the vast forces of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, charged aggressively towards Azure Waves Island.
However, when they reached Azure Waves Island, they found it long deserted.
This old rascal Zheng Yi paid no heed to warrior’s honor or the demeanor of a Core Formation Zhenren. Sensing the looming danger, he simply led his people to abandon the island and flee.
His main strategy was advancing when the enemy retreats.
All that was left was an empty island, devoid of any human presence.
