From this wave of energy, Lu Chen smelled death.The fact that the Azure Dragon suffered such a heavy blow was a result of an instinctive counterattack!
It was more possible that in this moment of life and death, the Azure Dragon had already recovered a bit of its consciousness.
Before he was on the verge of death, he also had to give his opponent a swift and fierce blow, even if it meant death.
As a True Dragon Divine Beast, it had its own untouchable dignity and would not let any of the invaders get away with it.
The power that had burst out of its body at this moment was very likely its source energy. It had not received any amplification from the Tao technique or technique.
This was the purest kind of power, and also a terrifying kind of power.
However, due to the influence of the demonic energy, this energy contained an aura that did not belong to the source of the Azure Dragon.
Without a doubt, the demonic energy that pa.s.sed through the s.p.a.cial rifts in the Demon World had received a certain degree of amplification.Although Lu Chen"s close-combat moves were quite effective in exchange for that, the drawbacks were very obvious.
Under the counterattack from the Azure Dragon, no matter how fast Lu Chen was, it was too late for him to dodge.When this incomparable force was less than half a meter away from Lu Chen, a several meter wide vine suddenly appeared in front of him.
At this moment, the impregnable wall of vines was bombarded by the invisible power of the green dragon. In an instant, tiny cracks could be seen on its surface.
And then, the vine exploded into smithereens.
After all, Han Xi Yi was only activating her vine at the last minute, so her defense wasn"t that strong. Under the force of the green dragon, she was unable to resist at all.
However, this gave Lu Chen a bit of time, but it was still not enough time to escape from this force.At this moment, just as Lu Chen was about to use all his strength to block the attack, a blue figure appeared beside him.
The moment this figure appeared, Lu Chen felt a wave of cold air a.s.saulting him. The coldness was bone-chilling, causing his heart to tremble.
"Extreme ice, freeze the earth!"
When Shangguan Zixi appeared beside Lu Chen, he shouted out softly.
With her actions, a gust of cold air filled the invisible barrier, completely gathering onto the green dragon to block her.
At the same time, the power of Shangguan Zi"s low-rank Earth Realm cultivation base was enveloped in this frosty aura as it shot out.
The moment this cold air appeared, it instantly condensed.
When the green dragon"s origin energy touched the cold ice formed from the cold energy, a loud crackling sound was heard.
The entire s.p.a.ce within the formation began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye, whenever it touched the condensed ice.
The instant the green dragon"s source energy stopped, Lu Chen also took advantage of the opening to increase the distance between him and the green dragon. Maintaining a safe distance from Shangguan Zixi, he also kept his position within the range.
At this moment, when Lu Chen"s gaze landed on Zi Xi, he discovered that the temperament that she was emitting at this moment was very different from before.
A peerless aura that was above the peak of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was released from her delicate body, attracting the attention of others.However, what surprised Lu Chen even more was that Shangguan Zixi had only just stepped into the low-grade earth-step, but the power she displayed was not something Han Xiyi could match up to.
Logically speaking, although Han Xiyi had just stepped into the Earth Stage, she should have been faster than Shangguan Zixi by now.
Then why was Shangguan Zixi"s attack power even more powerful than before, why was that?Judging from the aura fluctuations in Shangguan Zixi"s body, Lu Chen discovered that the thickness of her zhenqi was slightly inferior to Han Xiyi"s.
Very quickly, Lu Chen understood the mystery behind it.
From the very beginning, this was most likely due to the amplification of energy provided by the low-grade earth-step Tao technique "Extreme Ice" that the little fox had bestowed upon him.The formation that the little fox had given him was naturally not something that a normal Tao technique could compare to.
Moreover, Lu Chen had used up a lot of his contribution points when he imprinted this imprint onto Shangguan Zixi.
Without the support of the Power of Merit, a direct inheritance like this would have exhausted Lu Chen"s spiritual force.
It was because of this that many of the more accomplished experts, even when they finally chose to inherit, only dared to use this method when they were at the end of their lifespan.After all, the consumption of spiritual power would cause one"s cultivation to be greatly weakened once they used this spiritual power inheritance method.
However, Lu Chen"s eyes were fixed on it. He could clearly see that every time the ice formed from the ice touched the Azure Dragon"s source energy, it would still be unable to resist.
It lasted for less than a second before the ice started to crack.
Only, to Lu Chen"s surprise, Shangguan Zixi did not strengthen the ice in such a large area.
She even completely sealed off the attack of the green dragon"s origin energy, seemingly wanting to stop all of its power.
Was she doing this to protect this invisible barrier?
This conclusion suddenly flashed through Lu Chen"s mind. So Shangguan Zixi wasn"t just doing this to protect him.
What she wanted to protect was the entire formation.
More accurately, Shangguan Zixi wanted to protect his own father, Lu Qingtian, who was in the formation.Under the a.s.sault of the source energy, once the formation was broken, it was impossible for his parents, who were in the eyes of the formation, to remove the formation.
Without a doubt, the backlash from the formation being broken would cause damage to the mind or to the body.
Eighteen years ago, Shangguan Zixi made a great sacrifice in order to construct the Two Elements of Creation Formation.
Now, eighteen years later, she still had to make a sacrifice in order to protect the Two Elements of Creation Formation.From Lu Chen"s point of view, Shangguan Zixi"s decision to use this kind of large-scale suppression was indeed a risky move.
However, it was too late for Lu Chen to stop them. If he was in Lu Chen"s shoes, he would also use this method to protect his parents.
This had a direct bearing on the life of the mortal world!
Even if he did not have the grand ambition to save the common people, Lu Chen did not want his parents to suffer the backlash from the spell.
Under Shangguan Zixi"s full effort, the countless congealed ice continued to seal off the green dragon"s origin energy, making it impossible for it to spread further.
At the same time, Lu Qingtian, who was standing in the middle of the formation, narrowed his eyes, which were bloodshot.
Hot tears welled up in his determined eyes. Shangguan Zixi"s azure figure entered his sight, still as attractive as before.
What was even more touching was her heartfelt determination to not care about the price!
However, at this crucial moment, Lu Qingtian"s eyes turned cold. He regained a trace of clarity and looked towards Zhuge Liusheng.
This many years of mutual understanding between husband and wife, with just this single glance, had completely conveyed their views.The two of them reached an agreement at this moment and seemed to have made some sort of decisive decision.
