Chapter 0880 True Form of the Celestial Dragon

Chapter 0880 Celestial Dragon's True Form

Long Yingkun was a Celestial Dragon, but to avoid being drawn into the Immortal Desolation, he had sealed away his most powerful immortal energy.

This sealing technique was extremely profound, completely suppressing his true immortal energy and preventing its release.

As a result, Long Yingkun's fighting prowess was restricted. After his fierce battle with Long Bei, he had sustained injuries, which further weakened his strength.

Long Cangsheng's hands transformed into dragon claws, and as soon as he closed in on Long Yingkun, he launched a savage onslaught, unleashing surges of formidable dragon power.

It must be said that Long Cangsheng, after transforming into a dragon, was fearsome at full strength—he could actually fight evenly with a Celestial Dragon.

The Half-Immortals of the Mystic Realm Dragon Gate and the Heavenly Dragon Sect were engaged in battle with the Half-Immortals of the Sword family. Only because the Sword family had fewer members were they able to hold their ground; otherwise, they would have been wiped out long ago.

Looking over at Long Yingkun's side and seeing Long Cangsheng's prowess, they couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy.

If all the Half-Immortals of their dragon lineage could achieve dragon form, they would undoubtedly be able to duel sword cultivators one-on-one.

As it stood, they were fighting two or three against a single sword cultivator.

Qin Yun was also at a pivotal breakthrough stage. He was anxious, as the battle outside raged fiercely, and he desperately wanted to join the fight.

Inside the ninth layer of the Nine Dragons Demon Prison Tower, Qin Yun was alone.

While quietly cultivating, he suddenly sensed a familiar presence—Long Bei's!

Long Bei had returned here, badly wounded, but he had managed to sneak back undetected.

"Keep cultivating. The time to activate the array hasn't come yet!" Long Bei said.

Qin Yun remained silent, his eyes still closed.

Long Bei continued, "Long Cangsheng can buy us more time! Long Yingkun's strength far exceeds my expectations!"

Earlier, Long Bei and Long Cangsheng had agreed that if things went smoothly, they would take turns battling Long Yingkun to drain his power, thereby creating a better opportunity to activate the array.

Now, Long Cangsheng was desperately fighting Long Yingkun. Though he could exchange blows, he was frequently taking brutal hits. At this rate, he wouldn't last much longer.

The reason Long Bei and Long Cangsheng had devised this plan was that they felt the Dragon Sealing Array's power might still be insufficient to suppress a Celestial Dragon of such formidable strength.

Thus, they had decided to first drain Long Yingkun's power before having Qin Yun emerge to set up the array when the time was right.

Long Cangsheng's strength was limited, and before long, he was blasted downward by Long Yingkun, slamming into the ground covered in wounds!

"You pathetic worms, all of you—DIE!"

Long Yingkun roared at the Seven Swords Patriarch of the Sword family, unleashing a Golden Dragon phantom that surged forward.

At that moment, Long Bei suddenly lunged out with a thunderous bellow, his soundwave blast dispersing the Golden Dragon phantom.

"Long Bei, you can still stand? Fine, I'll tear you apart completely this time!" Long Yingkun snarled, charging toward Long Bei.

The two Celestial Dragons, still in human form, clashed head-on, their palms colliding with world-shaking impact. The skies darkened, gales howled, and a storm of lightning and thunder erupted, leveling countless nearby buildings.

The ground quaked as—BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—Long Bei and Long Yingkun engaged in battle once more, their fight sprawling beyond the Dragon King Manor!

The people of Dragon King City had long since cleared out from around the manor—a wise decision.

Because many tall buildings outside the Dragon King Estate were destroyed in the fierce battle between Long Bei and Long Yingkun, turning the area into ruins.

Now, not only those near the Dragon King Estate but the entire population of Dragon King City was fleeing in panic.

Many who feared death even left the city to watch the battle from afar, avoiding being caught in the crossfire.

Long Bei, dragging his severely injured body, clashed desperately with Long Yingkun, fighting tooth and nail to wear him down.

Long Yingkun seethed with rage. He had expected Long Bei to submit after witnessing his overwhelming power.

Yet, Long Bei refused, fighting with suicidal resolve!

Though Long Yingkun was strong, most of his power remained sealed. Slaying Long Bei in this state was no simple feat, especially since Long Bei was also a Celestial Dragon with a formidable physique.

Without immense immortal power, utterly destroying a Celestial Dragon’s body was near-impossible.

After buying precious time, Long Cangsheng, who had been wounded earlier, recovered enough to take to the skies and rush to Long Bei’s aid, joining forces with him!

With a thunderous whoosh!

As soon as Long Cangsheng arrived, he hurled a volley of Imperial Talismans at Long Yingkun.

The talismans transformed into elemental fury—flames, lightning, tempests, and quakes.

These were Imperial Talismans Long Cangsheng had always been reluctant to use.

Bombarded by the relentless talisman attacks, Long Yingkun was thrown into chaos, bellowing in fury. He clawed at the air, manifesting a colossal dragon claw that came crashing down like a mountain, crushing toward Long Cangsheng.

Long Cangsheng swiftly dodged, barely evading the colossal claw!

The phantom claw struck the ground, obliterating an entire building. The force exploded upon impact, blasting a gaping crater several kilometers wide.

Chunks of earth were flung everywhere by the violent shockwaves.

The entire Dragon King City was ravaged, buildings toppling under the chaotic tremors.

The once-thriving Dragon King City teetered on the edge of annihilation!

The Jian family caught a brief respite, at least no longer facing the Celestial Dragon directly.

Though outnumbered, their sword cultivators were formidable, holding their ground against three foes apiece, steadily overwhelming the forces of the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Mystic Realm Dragon Gate.

As long as Long Yingkun, the Celestial Dragon, stayed out of the fight, the Jian family was certain of victory!

Members of the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Mystic Realm Dragon Gate, who had once mocked the Jian family and ridiculed the Dragon King Estate’s fear of sword cultivators, now understood their dread firsthand.

"If we hold on until the Immortal Dragon Ancestor defeats Long Bei and Long Cangsheng and joins our battle, the Jian family will fall!" said an elder from the Mystic Realm Dragon Gate, staking everything on the Immortal Dragon Ancestor.

An elder from the Heavenly Dragon Gate sneered at Jian Shitian, "If the Jian family had a shred of sense, you’d scram from Dragon King City this instant! You’ve seen it—Long Cangsheng and Long Bei together are still no match for the Immortal Dragon Ancestor! Once those two are dead, you’re next!"

Jian Shitian laughed loudly, "If we go down, we’re taking you with us!"

This was the Jian family’s make-or-break moment.

Even if Long Bei and Long Cangsheng fell, the Seven Swords Patriarch would step up to delay the Celestial Dragon, allowing them to slay more Half-Immortals of the Long family and weaken their overall strength.

Xian Rujing’s heart pounded with dread as Long Bei and Long Cangsheng struggled desperately, fearing they might soon be killed if this continued.

Though injured and drained of much of his power, Long Yingkun still appeared formidable!

The Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower remained unshaken and undestroyed, proving it to be an incredibly powerful artifact.

On the ninth floor, Qin Yun's body overflowed with martial energy imbued with a regal aura. Suddenly, his body trembled as a surge of martial energy erupted, and the Dark Sun within him began to rotate.

"Third transformation! The energy within my Dark Sun has successfully evolved, and my martial energy has grown significantly stronger!"

Qin Yun stood up, feeling the regal aura within his enhanced martial energy, his heart surging with excitement.

He quickly turned invisible and flew out of the Nine-Dragon Demon Prison Tower.

As soon as he emerged, he followed the auras of Long Bei and Long Cangsheng.

While moving toward them, Qin Yun could see from afar the injuries on Long Bei and Long Cangsheng. Though the two were fighting Long Yingkun together, they were still being battered frequently.

"Time to use the Lion Monarch Cannon!"

After flying out of Dragon King Manor, Qin Yun took out the Lion Monarch Cannon and telepathically warned Long Cangsheng and Long Bei to prepare to evade.

"Qin Yun, don’t set up the formation yet—it's not the right time. That bastard’s still got fight left in him!" Long Bei transmitted back.

"Understood. I’ll attack him with Half-Immortal Life Crystals instead!" Qin Yun replied. "Be ready to dodge!"

Long Bei and Long Cangsheng were shocked to hear Qin Yun's plan to use Half-Immortal Life Crystals and immediately changed their approach, distancing themselves from Long Yingkun.

Seeing Long Bei and Long Cangsheng flee far away, the enraged Long Yingkun did not pursue them.

Instead, he turned to protect the Half-Immortals of the Heavenly Dragon Gate and Mystic Realm Dragon Gate. If they were all wiped out by the Sword Family, he would be left alone, unable to stand against them.

As Long Yingkun flew toward Dragon King Manor, Qin Yun swiftly fired a Half-Immortal Life Crystal shell!

Thanks to Lan Suyao's help in the Forbidden Dead City, Qin Yun had slain a group of Half-Immortals and collected several Half-Immortal Life Crystals.

BOOM!

The Half-Immortal Life Crystal shot forth like light, striking Long Yingkun with deadly precision!

Long Yingkun roared as he was sent hurtling backward!

The explosion from the Half-Immortal Life Crystal devastated a vast area outside Dragon King Manor. What was already ruins was now completely obliterated, leaving behind a crater over ten thousand meters wide.

Onlookers in the distance reeled in shock as they saw the massive crater form within Dragon King City.

BOOM!

Qin Yun locked onto Long Yingkun again and loosed a furious salvo of Half-Immortal Life Crystals!

Long Bei and Long Cangsheng were stunned. They had assumed Qin Yun would fire just one shot, but he continued launching multiple Half-Immortal Life Crystals!

The fact that Qin Yun possessed so many Half-Immortal Life Crystals was what shocked them the most.

Long Yingkun, pummeled by the onslaught, was left dazed and reeling. Even with his mighty Celestial Dragon body, he was now battered and bloodied. The fact that he could still remain airborne was a testament to his strength.

Dragon King City was now littered with massive craters. The shattered ruins of buildings had long been blown away, leaving only choking clouds of dust.

"I'm out of Half-Immortal Life Crystals—now’s the time for the formation!" Qin Yun took out his formation banners and sent a mental message to Long Cangsheng and Long Bei.

Just as Qin Yun was about to move, Long Yingkun's body suddenly surged with golden light.

A thunderous dragon’s roar split the sky, and the sky darkened under golden clouds.

Long Yingkun transformed into a massive golden dragon, his body awash in golden brilliance, looming over Dragon King City!

This was Long Yingkun's draconic form!
