Chapter 1412 Everyone's Here
"Didn't Suzaku say that the Dragon Emperor wouldn't arrive for a while? How come he's here so quickly?!"
From the time Fellow Daoist Jiang set off to hunt down the Vermilion Bird until now, only a few breaths have passed. If what the Vermilion Bird said is true, they should still have plenty of time to escape at their leisure.
Could it be that this old dragon sacrificed his life essence to travel in order to save people?
"You actually believe what the demons say? You've wasted all these years of your life."
Su Qian's tone was serious, and she couldn't help but look up at the demonic cloud, her eyes revealing worry.
Today, this old dragon has gone mad for some reason. Not only did it arrive extremely quickly, but besides itself, there were also seven other demon kings with auras within the clouds.
In other words, all the other demon kings on the second level of the Celestial Palace have arrived here.
The combined strength of seven late-stage Nascent Soul demon kings and a dragon emperor at the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul was far beyond what the three of them could handle.
If the other party has no intention of killing, they can still hold out for a while with the magic treasures they have.
If the old dragon were to attack in anger, they would have no choice but to flee for their lives.
Honestly, if Fellow Daoist Jiang doesn't come back soon, they'll have to run away immediately.
at this time.
Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed in the clouds, and the thundercloud that was originally thousands of miles away suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
Black and red clouds rolled in, covering the entire sky, and the surroundings were instantly plunged into darkness.
Rumble——!
A great deal of thunder roared in the clouds, and purple-red lightning merged into one, faintly revealing a winding dragon shadow that slowly moved within the demonic clouds. A burst of energy was projected out, locking the three people below firmly in place.
As the dark clouds rolled and dispersed, they revealed a huge void.
After the opening, seven figures stood on either side, each exuding a murderous aura and looking down at the three people with chilling killing intent in their eyes.
Behind the seven demon kings was a huge throne of purple and gold, crackling with lightning, upon which sat a handsome young man dressed in a black and gold robe.
Amidst the thunderous roar, the Nine Heavens Demon Emperor slowly opened his eyes. His majestic dragon eyes flashed with lightning as he scanned the surroundings before fixing his gaze on Su Qian.
"Fellow Daoist Su, it's been a long time. The three of you haven't made any progress in your cultivation, but you've certainly grown bolder."
Su Qian looked up and met its gaze, her right hand gripping the magical treasure tightly. She didn't reply, but instead transmitted her voice to the other two:
"Something's wrong with this old dragon. Let's split up and escape; every one of us who can get away is a chance."
Jiang Daoyou has not returned for a long time. Although the battle over there has calmed down, the distance is too great for them to be sure whether the battle has ended.
Originally, I was thinking of stalling for a while, and if things really couldn't be done, I would just escape and meet up with Fellow Daoist Jiang before talking about anything else.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Emperor used his supernatural powers to teleport the Demon King over and directly surrounded the three of them.
In this way, let alone delaying them, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape from these demon kings.
The two men in the south cave remained silent, only nodding with furrowed brows.
Knowing that now was not the time to hesitate, they secretly unleashed their respective magical treasures, glancing around to find a way to break through.
"The Celestial Palace is only so big, where can you possibly escape to?"
The Dragon Emperor lowered his eyes to look at the three of them. Seeing their appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "They're courting death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly tapped the air with his right index finger, and a bolt of purplish-red lightning thundered down from the clouds.
A crimson lightning bolt illuminated the heavens and earth, striking the defensive barrier of the South Cave in a flash.
boom!
A burst of lightning flashed, the defensive barrier shattered with a crack, and lightning covered Nan Dong's body. He was sent flying backward, crashing a hundred miles away. Another bolt of lightning rapidly gathered above his head, about to strike him down again.
In the moment of crisis, he stomped hard on the void, and the immortal treasure in his hand shone brightly, forcibly stopping his movement.
Ignoring the blood from the corner of his mouth, Nan Dong tilted his head back and swallowed a pill, channeling his energy to quickly repair the barrier while retreating rapidly to try and escape.
Unexpectedly, just as he took a step, a huge white shadow broke through the demonic clouds and descended from the sky, smashing his defensive barrier once again and slamming him into the ground.
Rumble!
The earth exploded, flying debris, billowing smoke and dust, and the tremors traveled for miles.
The other two hurriedly looked to the side, only to see a massive, snow-white pillar, seemingly reaching the sky, heavily pressing down on Nan Dong.
Ring-shaped ripples condensed along the giant pillar and crashed down from top to bottom.
The thuds echoed far and wide, and each ripple that struck the barrier created a crack.
Blood trickled from the corner of Nan Dong's mouth as he formed hand seals, his Yuan energy surging like a river to fully support the defensive barrier.
However, his aura kept fluctuating, clearly indicating that he had suffered minor injuries. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Looking up along the snow pillar, one could see a snow-white elephant demon tens of thousands of feet tall standing in the air, its huge trunk swinging from side to side, and with just one front foot on the ground, it was able to suppress the South Cave.
"The true form of the Glass Demon King!"
Fu Guang exclaimed in surprise, his face turning extremely pale.
He immediately revealed his true form as the Demon King and unleashed his full power, with the Dragon Emperor also watching from the sidelines, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.
With such a huge gap between the two sides, how can they possibly run?!
The Dragon Emperor glanced at it indifferently: "Not bad, but how many times can you withstand it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other six demon kings appeared, each holding an unclaimed immortal treasure, and quickly surrounded the three of them in a flash.
Su Qian's body shimmered with colorful light, and her immortal treasures were fully activated. Looking at the demon kings she was somewhat familiar with, she felt no confidence whatsoever.
Only now did she realize that every time she encountered the Dragon Emperor before, he had never seriously fought them.
Looking back now, those battles really were like playing with children; the other side was just making fun of them.
Now that they've made a serious move, the strength their opponent has displayed is completely superior to theirs, making them an existence they simply cannot contend with.
The lightning power that was casually unleashed was no weaker than a full-force strike from a celestial treasure, and it nearly shattered the defensive barrier of the celestial treasure with a single blow.
Although Fellow Daoist Nandong's immortal treasure was not a defensive treasure, it was still enough to block the attacks of ordinary divine powers. However, under this lightning, it was as fragile as an ordinary magic weapon.
Judging by power alone, the Dragon Emperor's casual strike is already not much weaker than Fellow Daoist Jiang's.
There's no escaping now; even if they use their trump card to force their way out, they'll lose half their lives.
The only option now is to find a way to buy some time and wait for Fellow Daoist Jiang to return and save our lives.
The thought of Jiang Han gave Su Qian a glimmer of hope.
Even if this old dragon is strong, he is only at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. With Fellow Daoist Jiang's combat strength, he should be able to fight him head-on, and he might not even be at a disadvantage.
At that time, they only need to fight and maneuver against the other seven demon kings, and they will still have a chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Su Qian's expression quickly calmed down. The magical artifact in her hand rippled with colorful waves, enveloping each of the three in a layer of colorful barrier. Then, she slowly spoke towards the clouds:
"Dragon Emperor, you've gone too far."
