Chapter 989: Netherworld River
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Outside the Holy Herb Palace.
When the blood dragon surged out of Ye Chen’s body, the expressions of the leading Holy Herb Valley elders changed drastically.
The blood dragon, which was covered in lightning patterns, stared at them as it stood guard by Ye Chen’s side. If anyone dared to take action against Ye Chen, it would strike them down!
The Nine Nether Sky Spear also sensed an opportunity, and took advantage of Elder Qiu’s shocked state. Demonic energy gradually covered Elder Qiu’s entire arm.
Moments later, the spear rapidly contracted.
Rip!
The Nine Nether Sky Spear actually tore apart Elder Qiu’s arm, and blood spurted out.
The intense pain almost woke Elder Qiu up, and her face contorted and twisted.
“Little b*stard, how dare you destroy my arm!”
“No matter who you are, I will make you pay the price for what you have done today!”
Elder Qiu almost went crazy.
The golden rune in her hand burst forth with power, and the sharp sword turned into a violent beast and charged at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen did not dodge. He knew how terrifying this attack was. However, he wanted to know what kind of power the transformed blood dragon possessed.
The blood dragon felt that it was being challenged, and it roared angrily as lightning and flames overflowed from its body. It bit the violent beast formed by the golden rune, and the dragon and the violent beast collided as tremendous shockwaves shook the surroundings.
The shockwaves spread in all directions, and Ye Chen had no choice but to take ten steps back. A b.l.o.o.d.y scar appeared on his cheek.
Elder Qiu and the other elders had no choice but to retreat as well. It was as if a hurricane was sweeping through this area!
However, soon, the blood dragon tore apart the violent beast. It was overwhelmingly powerful!
Elder Qiu’s expression was twisted and ferocious. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying to the three elders beside her, “Please lend me your strength. This kid must be killed! Otherwise, our Holy Herb Valley will become a laughingstock in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm!”
The remaining three elders looked hesitant. “Elder Qiu, did you not notice the blood dragon? Could this person be the dragon master that the sect master is looking for? Luo is not someone who would disregard the sect’s rules. I’m afraid this kid is really the guy that the sect master has been looking for.”
“Moreover, this kid’s strength is very strange. Even though he is facing us, I don’t see any fear in his eyes. If we continue to fight, it will be disadvantageous for us!”
“That’s right. Elder Qiu, stop. You can heal your broken arm. It’s normal for experts at our level to regrow a broken arm. Don’t attack this junior anymore.”
When Elder Qiu heard the advice of the elders beside her, her expression flickered. In her opinion, she was being humiliated by the others.
If she did not take revenge for her broken arm, her reputation in the Holy Herb Valley would take a severe blow!
She snorted coldly. “Since you’re not willing to help, then forget it. I don’t need it either! Do you really think I can’t kill this little b*stard?”
“There’s no one in this world that I can’t kill!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Elder Qiu closed her eyes and released her aura. At the same time, she took out a jade pendant from her waist.
When the other elders saw this scene, their expressions changed slightly.
“Elder Qiu is going to use a secret technique to deal with this kid!”
“Once the secret technique is activated, her strength will increase by a level. However, it will also cause great damage to her body! Is she crazy?!”
“I must kill this brat at all costs!”
The elders wanted to persuade her but it was too late.
A drop of blood essence flowed out of her palm and entered the jade pendant. It shattered and released countless specks of starlight.
At the same time, waves of frost appeared in all directions, and a long river condensed in the sky.
The river was like a water dragon, looking extremely ferocious.
“So what if you control a blood dragon! The illusory water dragon that I condensed by burning my blood essence and cultivation is enough to destroy your puny dragon.”
With a long howl, the world changed color, and the long river in the sky poured down like a surging, magnificent river!
Rumble!
The water dragon smashed into the blood dragon.
Sizzle…
Two different energies collided, emitted smoke and hissing noises.
“How is this possible…”
Ye Chen’s eyes widened. He could scarcely believe what he was seeing.
The water dragon formed by the long river had actually penetrated the blood dragon’s body.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on?”
Ye Chen understood the blood dragon. The blood dragon would never allow external forces to infiltrate it like this. However, what he was seeing in front of him was the truth!
At this moment, Xue Qiye’s voice came from the Samsara Graveyard.
“If I’m not wrong, this should be the Netherworld River, which is an extreme Yin attribute power. The blood dragon has an extreme Yang attribute. If the two come into contact, both sides will definitely suffer.”
“However, the blood dragon is connected to you, and it is nurtured in your body. If the blood dragon is swallowed by the Netherworld River, your cultivation will be greatly affected!”
When Ye Chen heard this, he saw the blood dragon rush up into the sky, stirring up the dark clouds and then crashing down again.
It was obviously trying to get rid of the Netherworld River in its body.
“Senior, do you have a way to deal with the Netherworld River?”
Xue Qiye shook his head. “She was willing to burn her blood essence and cultivation to kill you. You won’t be able to counter this with your current cultivation level. However, you also have an extreme Yin power, which the evil dragon bead in your body.”
“The evil dragon bead can communicate with the Netherworld, which is also an important reason why the Nine Nether Sky Spear chose you!”
“Perhaps the evil dragon bead can absorb the Netherworld River. Now, go!”
When Ye Chen heard Xue Qiye’s urgent words, he no longer hesitated. He communicated with the blood dragon with his mind and rushed over to the blood dragon’s side.
When his hand touched the blood dragon’s body, he realized that its body was as cold as ice!
Ye Chen’s Immortal Flames gathered in his palm, only for it to be extinguished on the spot!
From this, one could see the power of the Netherworld River.
“Blood Dragon, let my power enter your body.”
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, a faint blue light appeared from his forehead, forming a third eye.
It was like the eye of h.e.l.l!
Surging demonic energy instantly wrapped around the blood dragon’s body and intertwined with the Netherworld River.
At this moment, Ye Chen was feeling hopeful. He could sense that the power of the evil dragon bead was extremely excited when it touched the Netherworld River!
The h.e.l.l Eye suddenly narrowed. The Netherworld River seemed to lose control, and it was pulled out by an invisible force.
The surging Netherworld River then burrowed into Ye Chen’s forehead.
Endless demonic energy erupted, surrounding his body.
When Elder Qiu saw this scene, her expression changed drastically.
“d.a.m.n it, my Netherworld River! Little b*stard! What did you do?”
She could clearly feel that the Netherworld River was being absorbed by some mysterious power.
Her cultivation was built on the Netherworld River. If it was fully absorbed, how could she break through in the future?
