Chapter 1195, The Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon

Translator: Silavin

  

Amidst the howling wind and snow that blanketed the sky, an enormous creature filled the eyes of everyone present.

 

Its body wound and coiled like a Dragon’s, and across that vast frame, as though draped in a mantle of crystalline ice armour. It radiated a brilliant yet solid lustre beneath the swaying light. With each beat of its immense wings, it stirred the Heavens into a frenzy of wind and snow.

 

From that ferocious, gaping maw, it exhaled a chill that seemed capable of freezing all things into stillness. A pair of ice-blue eyes the size of boulders regarded the hundred-odd figures below it with cold indifference, as one might regard a colony of ants.

 

The hushed whispers that had been circulating among the crowd vanished in an instant, leaving the world utterly silent. Even those amongst the gathered experts who had mentally prepared themselves for this moment found that when a Demonic Beast of such size and ferocity actually appeared before them, the sheer shock of it still sent chills racing through their bones.

 

“So, this is the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon?”

 

Qin Yichen also tilted his head back to regard the colossal creature coiling in the sky above, his expression growing faintly grave. However, he also noticed something crucial, that this Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon had not truly broken through to the Saint Realm!

 

Though the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon was already far beyond what an ordinary Peak Stage Martial Ancestor could hope to contend with, and it already carried a faint trace of Saint Prestige, so long as it had not yet broken through to the Saint Realm, these hundred-odd experts working together could still just barely hold their ground against it.

 

Were it to break through to the Saint Realm, then even twice their number would have no option but to flee for their lives.

 

“It is about to begin!”

 

Qin Yichen murmured quietly, his gaze fixed upon the colossal creature above.

 

And as his murmur faded, the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon coiling in mid-air let out a sudden, thunderous roar. Its enormous maw wrenched open, and a torrent of glacial ice came howling forth, sweeping towards the hundred-odd experts below.

 

The white torrent of glacial ice stretched across the sky and came shrieking downward on waves of astonishing Yuan Energy, burying the many figures beneath it.

 

“Aaargh!”

 

Beneath this surge of freezing force, piercing screams rang out at once. Several of the weaker experts were frozen instantly into ice sculptures on the spot, then crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces, without a single drop of blood escaping their bodies.

 

This sudden eruption sent a jolt of alarm through no small number of them present. It was only now that they truly woke to the reality of their situation. Yes, they had numbers on their side, but this Demonic Beast before them had half a foot planted firmly in the Saint Realm!

 

Strength of that order was more than enough to effortlessly obliterate the majority of those assembled here.

 

“Everyone, attack together! Bombard it with your Yuan Energy!”

 

Zhao Xueqi, however, had clearly come prepared and did not descend into panic. He moved quickly to rally the others around him.

 

At Zhao Xueqi’s bellow, even those who harboured wariness towards him recognised that they had no choice but to follow his lead. Powerful auras erupted one after another, and torrents of vigorous Yuan Energy were unleashed in full.

 

*Roar!*

 

The Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon, coiling in the sky, looked down upon those ant-like experts from the Myriad Races below. Within those vast, ice-blue eyes, a streak of savage fury ignited. Its giant maw opened once more, and another terrifying surge of glacial ice came howling out.

 

“Attack!”

 

In that instant, several dozen experts roared in unison, and mighty offensive techniques erupted almost simultaneously. Light blazed across the sky as wave after wave of Yuan Energy attacks crashed forth, smashing headlong into that dreadful torrent of glacial ice.

 

*Boom!*

 

The fearsome forces collided violently in the sky above. The impact was so tremendous that even the lake below was churned as though set to boil. Water spilling out over its banks, and even the thick snow blanketing the mountain peaks was scraped away several metres deep.

 

As the raging winds and snow ran riot through the air, the terrible offensive energies gradually dissipated. The glacial ice unleashed by the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon had actually been stopped dead in its tracks.

 

“When numbers reach a certain threshold, they truly do change the situation.”

 

Qin Yichen could not help but murmur appreciatively at the sight. Had the experts who had surrounded him in the Thunderous Blessings Mountain Range managed to cooperate this well, he would have found himself in considerable difficulty too.

 

“Keep attacking!”

 

“A mere Demonic Beast dares to stand in our way!?”

 

That first success sent a cheer rippling across the mountain peaks, and at once the hundred-odd experts unleashed another furious volley, wave after wave of devastating attacks sweeping outward once more.

 

*Boom!*

 

Under this onslaught, even the raging wind and snow were swept clean from the air. Attack after attack streaked across the sky like arcs of blazing light, passing through the sky before landing squarely upon the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon’s vast body.

 

*Bang! Bang!*

 

Blow after blow rang out. Facing the combined assault of over a hundred Martial Ancestors, among them twenty or thirty at the Peak Stage, even the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon was forced back.

 

Even the crystalline ice armour covering its body began to show cracks.

 

*Roar!*

 

The pain radiating from its body ignited the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon’s fury. It unleashed a wrathful roar, and those immense wings of its, which seemed to command the very winds and snows, began to beat violently.

 

*Whoosh!*

 

As those wings moved, icy and overwhelming Yuan Energy came surging out in a frenzy. Before everyone’s eyes, the wind and snow filling the sky converged at a terrifying speed in front of the beast. In mere moments, it had formed countless swords of glacial ice. At the tip of each blade, razor-sharp killing light flickered, and within them, a pulse of Yuan Energy that made the scalp crawl could be faintly felt.

 

It was evident that when the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon found itself unable to intimidate these ants into retreating, and had instead suffered minor wounds for its trouble. It had been truly provoked now.

 

*Swish! Swish!*

 

As the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon’s large wings beat, countless swords of glacial ice came shrieking outward at once. In an instant, a sharp, piercing sound of objects splitting air filled the space around them, and the innumerable ice blades rained down upon the figures below.

 

“Careful!”

 

Faced with this terrifying assault from the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon, the expressions of the many experts changed at once. Frantically, they drove the Yuan Energy within their bodies to its limit, manifesting defensive barriers before themselves.

 

*Bang! Bang!*

 

Ice blades rained across the sky, as Yuan Energy of every colour came howling out in response. The entire world was thrown into a blizzard of churning snow, a spectacle that was both magnificent and terrifying.

 

Under this fearsome onslaught, a number of experts whose strength proved insufficient watched their defences shatter, and were instantly pierced through the body by several swords of glacial ice, becoming cold stiff corpses.

 

Amidst all this, Zhao Xueqi and Zhang Heng stood out as the most dazzling presences on the field. Faced with this assault, they had not raised a single defensive measure. Instead, from their hands, one powerful attack after another continued to shriek forth, countering the Azure Sky Demonic Flood Dragon hovering in the sky above.
