Chapter 454: Dragon Blood! Divine Blood!
When the tens of thousands of Ironclad War Dragons also joined the battle group, the entire region of Misty Canyon had completely become an ocean of rampaging dragons.
Dense clouds of countless Gray Winged Dragons filled the skies.
The surging and roaring Ironclad War Dragons, numbering over ten thousand, were filled with boundless strength!
And in the core area of the great battle, the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon of Four Tribulations True God level was roaring up to the sky, fighting against thousands single-handedly!
The ones continuously attacking the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon were the giant Sky-shocking Winged Dragon and the black True God Ironclad War Dragons!
On the ground of the canyon, with the dragons' slaughter, pools of dragon blood stained the earth red.
Countless Gray Winged Dragons and Ironclad War Dragons died, and the besieged Five-Clawed Azure Dragon had also fallen into disadvantage, with terrifyingly huge bloodstains appearing on its body.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Drops of Divine Blood from the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon fell from its body. The fist-sized droplets of blood, emitting Spiritual Light, rolled onto the ground and, within a few breaths' time, did not disperse, and finally, they merged with the earth.
As it merged with the earth, the Dragon Blood of the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon even pushed back the blood of other Heavenly Saint Level dragons.
Clearly, the power of this Divine Blood was extraordinary, far surpassing that of regular dragon blood!
Ultimately, the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon, having fallen completely into disadvantage, let out a skyward roar.
In the third gathering place for True Dragons, hundreds of miles away from the battle of the dragon hordes.
In the gathering place of the Five-Clawed Azure Dragons, tens of thousands of them, upon hearing the roar, burst into flight directly toward that region.
It seemed that the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon, unable to withstand the assault, was now summoning its fellow dragons to its aid.
Merely dozens of breaths later, those tens of thousands of Five-Clawed Azure Dragons had joined the great battle.
This moment truly shook heaven and earth!
Over thirty thousand True Dragons were battling on this land.
— All for a mere "Dragon Heart Grass King"!
Ye Chen, observing the battle from one side, truly saw what it meant to "die for wealth, as birds perish for food." These True Dragons, having had their intelligence almost completely erased, leaving only their instinct to kill, had been incited into a great battle by the "Dragon Heart Grass King," and were fighting with reckless abandon.
The bloodshed was even shocking to Ye Chen!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," countless Gray Winged Dragons died, and even more were injured, with broken wings and blood spurting like fountains.
The Ironclad War Dragons and Five-Clawed Azure Dragons were similarly suffering heavy casualties, with corpses strewn everywhere.
And the three True God-level True Dragons at the very center of the battle were unleashing immense fury.
With the joining of the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon horde, the True God-level Five-Clawed Azure Dragons, relieved of some pressure, went into a frenzy with their godly powers surging wildly, grabbing the Sky-shocking Winged Dragons and the black Ironclad War Dragons, ripping wounds all over their bodies.
This great battle continued for nearly half an hour.
Eventually, tens of thousands of True Dragons lay dead on the field, with countless more injured.
A small portion of the True Dragons, stimulated by the soaring bloodlust and unable to bear it any longer, disregarded their leaders' calls and retreated explosively back to their respective territories.
And at the very center of the great battle, those three True God-level True Dragons were also severely wounded.
The Five-Clawed Azure Dragon of Four Tribulations True God level, however, had the last laugh. Its body covered with numerous wounds each dozens of feet long, with rolling Divine Blood streaming down, forming pools of blood on the ground.
But its two opponents, the Ironclad War Dragon and the Sky-shocking Winged Dragon of Three Tribulations True God level, were even more gravely injured!
One of the wings of the Sky-shocking Winged Dragon was almost entirely shredded, and the Ironclad War Dragon, with its iron-like dark flesh, was torn open in several places, revealing many horrifyingly large wounds.
These two True God-level True Dragons, their vitality severely depleted, had fallen to the late stages of the Heavenly Saint Level and could no longer fight the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon.
The two True God-level True Dragons, looking at the "Dragon Heart Grass King" still in the grasp of the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon, then at the dead or fled and the many injured True Dragons left on the field, and seeing the still First Tribulation True God-level aura of the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon, no longer dared to continue the fight.
All they could do was let out a sharp cry before giving up.
And the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon, although grievously wounded, still laughed last, for it had obtained the "Dragon Heart Grass King"!
The Five-Clawed Azure Dragon roared up to the sky as if it were the ruler of this world!
Clutching the "Dragon Heart Grass King" in its talons and seeing its two True God-level adversaries no longer daring to attack it, it prepared to triumphantly return home.
The battle, it appeared, was about to conclude with the victory of the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon.
At this moment, however, that tiny glint of light, which had been hiding on the sidelines and had gone completely unnoticed by the dragons embroiled in the fierce battle, stirred once again.
Ye Chen.
It was Ye Chen, who had been manipulating the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, springing into action once more.
Ye Chen had not expected that tens of thousands of True Dragons from the three major dragon groups would battle to such extremes over a single "Dragon Heart Grass King."
Indeed, True Dragons, stripped of most of their spiritual intelligence and left only with their nature, had nothing but this instinct for slaughter and the struggle for treasures!
Seeing the True Dragons either dead or crippled, Ye Chen certainly wasn't going to miss this critical opportunity!
Now was not the time to lament for these True Dragons. Captured by the Heavenly Cloud Venerable, stripped of much of their intellect, whether they died now or later, their fate was the same.
Yet from this, Ye Chen was alerted; he needed to become stronger. Otherwise, if a powerful being were to erase his intellect, his fate would likely be even more tragic than that of these True Dragons.
To become stronger, the current method was to seize the precious cultivation opportunities within the "Minor Pole Sky."
Killing True Dragons to obtain more assessment points was now the most crucial task!
The path of martial arts, filled with bloodshed and cruelty.
At this time, Ye Chen certainly wasn't going to give these three Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons any chance to recover. Otherwise, he might find himself struggling to kill these True Dragons another time, and even with the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, a slight lack of caution could result in his death at the hands of these Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons.
Ye Chen, manipulating a glint of Spiritual Light from the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, instantly appeared above the three Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons. In the next moment, he burst forth from the pendant.
Upon seeing Ye Chen, the three Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons, still not entirely free of their murderous aura, all turned their attention to him.
Their instinctive drive to kill even made their divine eyes brim with murderous intent.
Without waiting for the three Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons to strike, Ye Chen clenched his hand, and a magical treasure appeared in his palm.
This magical treasure was nine ice-white pearls, which were none other than the Heavenly Thunder Pearls—a powerful one-time offensive treasure that Ye Chen had acquired in the Divine Heritage Cave, after slaying the Fat and Skinny Holy Ones.
The "Heavenly Thunder Pearls" were forged by a Great Divine Practitioner using Nine Heavens True Thunder. If all nine pearls were unleashed together, even a True Dragon facing the First Tribulation could be gravely injured or killed.
Previously, facing the Sky-shocking Winged Dragon with strength surpassing a First Tribulation True God, as well as the Ironclad War Dragon and the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon of the Three and Four Tribulations, respectively.
Taking out the "Heavenly Thunder Pearls" was obviously futile.
But now, these three Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons had fought each other to a devastating extent; even the most formidable Five-Clawed Azure Dragon had seen its strength fall to the level of a True God facing the First Tribulation.
The Heavenly Thunder Pearls finally had their chance to shine. Enjoy new tales from empire
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Chen, in an instant, flicked his fingers, and the nine Heavenly Thunder Pearls instantly formed a Heavenly Thunder Formation, enveloping the three Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons within.
Then, earth-shattering explosions sounded from within the formation as Ye Chen watched countless thunderstorms, each a yard thick, tear through and explode wildly, directing all their force at the three True Dragons.
The three True Dragons were completely caught off guard by such a treasure in Ye Chen's possession. Slightly delayed in their reaction, they were engulfed by the exploding force of the Heavenly Thunder Pearls.
In the instant explosion of thunderous power, they had no time to dodge. In the next moment, the three Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons were blasted apart in different directions, before thunderously crashing to the ground.
Under the destructive force of the nine "Heavenly Thunder Pearls," the Sky-shocking Giant Winged Dragon had both wings completely blown off and was directly killed by the pearls, which had the power to severely wound a True God facing the First Tribulation.
The other two Heavenly Saint Level True Dragons, the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon and the black Ironclad War Dragon, were not instantly killed, but the Ironclad War Dragon had been utterly knocked unconscious by the blast, and the Five-Clawed Azure Dragon, although its divine eyes were still open, showed a look of terror in its gaze.
The next moment, the Black Fire Sword suddenly appeared in Ye Chen's hand as he shot towards the yet unconscious Five-Clawed Azure Dragon.
Thrust!
With one sword strike, the dragon's head was severed, and Divine Blood gushed out.
Ye Chen stepped through the void, and with another sword strike, he slashed towards the faint Ironclad War Dragon. With the surging power of his Ice-Forged Divine Body and Immortal Divine Body infused into the Black Fire Sword, he pierced through the thick hide of the Ironclad War Dragon, completely decapitating it as well.
And the next moment, Ye Chen's gaze shifted towards the thousands of the three types of True Dragons still screaming in agony in the area, his sword flashing with renewed brilliance.
As "Sixty-Two," the Spiritual Light child that flew out from Ye Chen's Heaven Spirit Ring, looked upon the fallen three Mighty True Gods and then at the several thousand injured Gray Winged Dragons, Ironclad War Dragons, and Five-Clawed Azure Dragons.
The child exclaimed in shock, "Master, with this strike, you might just set a record for slaughtering True Dragons in the Myriad Dragon Cavern!"
