Chapter 1651: The Frost Dragon’s Ancient Dragon Soul
The Fei Shu stared at the human flying in the sky in shock. He did not expect the other party to have such profound cultivation. When it reacted, it raised its spear and said, “Despicable human! You’re seeking death!”
Icicles hanging behind the huge Frost Dragon glinted brilliantly in the air. These icicles were obviously different from the ones before. Their tips emitted a strange and mysterious light.
Shang Zhang, the attendant, raised his left hand. His astrolabe appeared immediately, covering the sky. He held the astrolabe in front of him, blocking the incoming icicles.
Little Yuan’er and Conch were shocked.
“This…”
“His cultivation is so high?!”
Lu Zhou and Xuanyi, who had figured out what was happening, did not say anything.
Shang Zhang, the attendant, launched a beam of light as he flew out with the astrolabe. With this, the icicles were easily resolved.
“A supreme being!” the Fei Shu was shocked.
Little Yuan’er and Conch exclaimed in disbelief, “A supreme being?!”
The two girls had a hard time believing that the little attendant who had been their lackey all this time was actually a supreme being. How was this possible?
Little Yuan’er said worriedly, “Why is this little attendant so powerful? It’s over, it’s over, it’s over! I usually beat him up and scold him! What should I do?”
Little Yuan’er was worried the attendant would seek revenge from her.
On the contrary, Conch did not say anything as she looked at the huge astrolabe in the sky. No one knew what she was thinking at this moment.
Shang Zhang was a divine emperor, after all. When he moved, his body would s.h.i.+ne faintly. When he finally arrived near the head of the ancient Frost Dragon, he pushed his hand out.
Boom!
The Fei Shu roared, “Lord Frost Dragon!”
As Shang Zhang stabbed the Frost Dragon’s eyes, a powerful force pushed him back. He spun around and easily avoided it. Then, he tore through the fabric of s.p.a.ce and appeared above the Fei Shu. He looked down and said in a low voice, “This isn’t a place for you to stay.”
Shang Zhang manifested a golden energy sword in hand.
Upon seeing this, the Fei Shu jumped in fright and fled. At the same time, it shouted, “Great Ancient Frost Dragon, please save your loyal servant!”
Shang Zhang glanced at the Frost Dragon whose eyes were s.h.i.+ning before the golden sword in his hand flew out and quickly pierced the Fei Shu’s chest.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The golden sword stabbed the Fei Shu repeatedly. After a few times, it could no longer retaliate or move. Just before it died, a blood-curdling scream rang in the air.
“You’ll pay the price for this!” The Fei Shu’s shrill voice was laden with sorrow and anger.
Boom!
The Fei Shu exploded in the air.
Xuanyi said praisingly, “What a tyrannical method!”
Shang Zhang waved his sleeve and pulled several of the Fei Shu’s life hearts into his hand before he flew back. He hovered in front of everyone as he said, “I’ve blocked the Frost Dragon’s eyes. It can’t see us now.”
Xuanyi said, “I’m impressed.”
“Let’s go,” Shang Zhang, the attendant, said.
However, Lu Zhou said, “I’m afraid that won’t do.”
Lu Zhou’s words were like a bucket of ice water.
“Hm?” Shang Zhang, the attendant, turned around and asked, “Why?”
“The Frost Dragon has been here for at least 100,000 years. Its existence surpa.s.ses human knowledge. Alas, nothing in the world can live forever. It’s not really alive…” Lu Zhou said lightly.
Everyone was confused.
Lu Zhou called out, “Conch.
“Your orders, master?”
“Play the Pilgrim Song. It’ll soothe its soul and will,” Lu Zhou said.
Roar!
A huge shadow appeared in the sky above the Frost Dragon. The pressure it brought with it made it hard for people to breathe.
“This… It’s the dragon’s soul?” Xuanyi was surprised.
“Soul is just the word humans used to describe the will left behind by the physical body. When the will is strong enough, it can mobilize Primal Qi and interact with the things in the world even if it doesn’t have a corporeal form.”
“That’s the Frost Dragon’s will?” Xuanyi asked.
Lu Zhou nodded.
“I see.”
There were many books in the Great Void about ghosts and spirits. In fact, there were no ghosts or spirits. They were just names given by humans. Essentially, they were just a manifestation of power and energy.
After the thunderous roar, the s.p.a.ce began to twist and distort.
Everyone hurriedly activated their protective energies.
Shang Zhang looked at the Frost Dragon and said, “I’ve underestimated it.”
At this time, Conch brought the Ten-Stringed Zither out. It surged with energy, and its melody swept out in all directions as her ten fingers plucked the strings. The tune was melodious and pleasant to the ears.
The soothing tune from the zither calmed the surroundings.
At the same time, the illusory figure in the sky also stopped roaring.
The tune continued to sweep out, gentle like the water as it calmed the Dragon Soul.
Conch focused on playing the zither as the wind gently blew across her face and her hair.
The light notes continued to sweep toward the Dragon Soul.
Shang Zhang looked at Conch playing the zither with her delicate fingers and could not help but sigh.
After a while, the Dragon Soul calmed down.
“Let’s go,” Lu Zhou said. He was the first to fly past the Frost Dragon.
Little Yuan’er flew out. She used the Nirvana Sash and brought Conch along with her while Shang Zhang, the attendant, followed closely behind them.
Conch continued to play the Pilgrim Song on the zither as Little Yuan’er brought her away.
After they flew past the Frost Dragon, they saw the ripples from the spatial formation again.
“The exit!” Xuanyi was overjoyed.
Alas, Xuanyi’s joy was short-lived.
Boom!
The spear on the ground suddenly shot up and stabbed the Frost Dragon’s back.
Roar!
The world shook and the wind raged as icicles shot out from all directions.
Shang Zhang said, “This is bad. The seal is unsealed.” He waved his hand to protect Little Yuan’er and Conch as he said, “All of you, leave first.”
“No,” Lu Zhou said, “Let me do it.”
“You?”
Xuanyi hurriedly said, “Trust Pavilion Master Lu!”
Xuanyi thought that with his teacher and Shang Zhang around, there was no need for him to show off. It would only be a waste of his energy.
Shang Zhang nodded and continued to stand in front of the two girls.
Shangzhang nodded and stood in front of the two women.
At this moment, the icicles arrived in front of the ripples in the s.p.a.ce, forming a formation to block their path.
Crack!
The ice covering the Frost Dragon shattered.
The Dragon Soul soared up into the sky and converged into a dragon-like shape. As it flew, the s.p.a.ce tore and the mountains collapsed.
Lu Zhou flew up and pushed his hand out. An astrolabe appeared in his hand before pillars of light shot out and pierced the Dragon Soul.
Roar!
The roar caused everyone’s heads to hurt.
Shang Zhang and Xuanyi had no choice but to use a large amount of Primal Qi to resist the effects of the roar. When they turned to look at the two girls, they discovered the duo seemed rather relaxed as they looked at Lu Zhou in the sky with solemn expressions on their faces.
Xuanyi said, filled with praise, “The cultivation methods that Pavilion Master Lu imparted to both of you are truly marvelous! They can even withstand the sound technique from the ancient Dragon Soul.”
“Great Divine King Xuanyi, you truly have a discerning eye,” Little Yuan’er said, returning the praise.
Xuanyi said, “I’ve always admired experts. When I first saw your master, I already knew he was extraordinary! Fortunately, your master accepted my gracious invitation to stay in Xuanyi Palace.”
The wind continued to rage as everyone continued to look at the sky.
Lu Zhou’s pillars of light did not do any harm.
The eyes of the ancient Dragon Soul shone as it spoke in human language. “Who dares to disturb my slumber?”
Lu Zhou asked indifferently, “You’re an ancient beast. Why are you at Grand Mystic Mountain?”
The Dragon Soul sized up the tiny human that was like a grain of sand in the sky. “Human?”
Swoos.h.!.+
It did not even think before it shot toward Lu Zhou.
“Grand power of teleportation.”
Lu Zhou disappeared and reappeared behind the ancient Dragon Soul.
“Human expert?”
Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “Grand Mystic Mountain was originally the territory of humans. It’s not a place for fierce beasts like you.”
The ancient Dragon Soul let out a deep laugh before it said, “No one has been here for 100,000 years. Let alone you, even if the experts of the Great Void came, I may not necessarily look at them. The one who should leave is… you!”
Rumble!
The Dragon Soul’s voice was thunderous, causing a distant mountain to collapse.
Shang Zhang and Xuanyi frowned slightly as they blocked the powerful sound technique.
As for Lu Zhou, when the powerful sound technique swept toward him, his robe fluttered slightly, dispelling the attack.
“Hm?” The ancient Dragon Soul looked at the human in front of him curiously. Then, it said, “I’m hungry.”
The ancient Dragon Soul sensed Lu Zhou’s power. Such a powerful person was a natural delicacy to fierce beasts. After devouring the human in front of it, its strength would improve greatly. In just a moment, it opened its mouth and swooped down toward the Netherworld Road, intending to devour Lu Zhou in one go.
Shang Zhang and Xuanyi watched this scene seriously and attentively. They were all experts and had different ways to deal with such a scene. They were naturally curious about how Lu Zhou was going to deal with it.
Roar!
The ancient Dragon Soul swooped down and devoured Lu Zhou. It easily swallowed him into its stomach.
“Ah?! Master!” Little Yuan’er was shocked.
Little Yuan’er and Conch did not expect this at all.
“Don’t worry,” Shang Zhang said rea.s.suringly. As a divine emperor, he could naturally sense that Lu Zhou was quite powerful.
As expected, the Dragon Soul’s stomach exploded as a 10,000-foot-long energy sword shot out of it. It roared angrily before it dissipated like gas. After all, it was just the leftover will of the original ent.i.ty; it did not have a corporeal form.
It did not take long for the energy to converge again and took on the form of a dragon. It flew toward Lu Zhou again.
The two opponents fought back and forth for more than 100 rounds.
Lu Zhou was thinking of ways to defeat the target while the ancient Soul Dragon was thinking of ways to devour the human in front of him.
At this time, the ancient Dragon Soul suddenly flew down and circled its unsealed body twice before it flew up again.
Upon seeing this, Shang Zhang reminded Lu Zhou, “Don’t fight it. It’s going to use its physical body.”
Roar!
Just as Shang Zhang had said, the Frost Dragon on the ground began to move as its will hovered above it. The Frost Dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it leaped toward Lu Zhou. Its eyes shone menacingly.
“Human, becoming a part of me will be the greatest honor in your life!”
“Retreat!” Shang Zhang flew back with the two girls.
Xuanyi hurriedly took a defensive stance.
Shang Zhang said, “Find a chance to clear the icicles blocking the exit.”
“Okay!” The two girls nodded immediately.
