Chapter 570 - 418: Fierce Battle Against the Ancestral Dragon_2

The Ancestral Dragon snorted coldly. "Ten Thousand Transformations Dragon Realm!"

ROAR!

A single dragon’s roar rang out.

The next moment,

it was joined by countless others.

Countless Dragon Scales flew from the Ancestral Dragon’s body. Each scale was engraved with a Dragon-shaped Talisman, transforming into a True Dragon and crushing Xu Qing’s innumerable Dao Sword Lotuses.

"As expected of the Ancestral Dragon. You truly are strong,"

Xu Qing said.

"Xu Qing, is this all you have?" the Ancestral Dragon said. "If that’s the case, you should just concede. For the sake of the Human Race, I can choose not to injure you severely."

"After all,"

"the Dragon Race and the Human Race have always had a good relationship."

"Hahaha..."

Xu Qing laughed heartily and said, "In that case, I won’t hold back any longer."

"True Technique!"

BOOM!

Xu Qing waved his right hand and formed a hand seal with his left. "Hongmeng Purple Lotus!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Without the slightest hesitation,

Xu Qing unleashed ’True Skill: Hongmeng Purple Lotus’—one that had been upgraded to Level 10. Its Mighty Power was terrifying as it descended to annihilate his foe.

"!!!"

The Ancestral Dragon was horrified.

"Eight Gates Root Technique!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

At the same time,

Xu Qing unleashed another True Technique, the very Eight Gates Root Technique he had comprehended on the Only True Path. The Eight Great Origin Cave Heavens opened around him, releasing the Power of the Eight Great Roots.

"You!!"

The Ancestral Dragon was shocked.

Without a moment’s hesitation,

the Ancestral Dragon also unleashed the Eight Gates Root Technique. Surprisingly, the Mighty Power of his technique was no weaker than Xu Qing’s.

Xu Qing had relied on the power of the Encyclopedia of All Things, upgrading it again and again, to finally master the complete ’True Technique: Eight Gates Root Technique’.

However,

the Ancestral Dragon was different.

He didn’t possess an ability like the Encyclopedia of All Things. Instead, he had relied on his own aptitude and comprehension to master the complete ’True Technique: Eight Gates Root Technique’ from the Eight Great Root Source World Tokens.

This was the difference between them.

"Ten Thousand Dragons Return to the Sect!"

ROAR!

Immediately after,

the Ancestral Dragon unleashed a series of powerful Pseudo-True Techniques and True Techniques to continuously combat Xu Qing. The battle between the two grew increasingly fierce.

The Ancestral Dragon’s strength was immense. He had passed through the first four levels of the Only True Path, obtaining a couple of True Artifacts and mastering a couple of True Techniques along the way.

As a result,

the Ancestral Dragon’s power was even more formidable.

That was why

the Ancestral Dragon had been able to continuously defeat powerful enemies in the Fifth Arena Universe.

He had even achieved an eight-win streak.

「Time passed.」

The fierce battle raged on, yet it was still impossible to determine a winner between Xu Qing and the Ancestral Dragon. The Fifth Arena Universe itself had been left battered and broken from their clash.

RUMBLE!

With a tremendous roar,

the Ancestral Dragon and Xu Qing collided again, creating an explosion of incomparable power.

’Xu Qing,’

the Ancestral Dragon thought in shock. ’I never imagined your strength had reached such a level. I thought you would last three moves against me at most, yet here we are, and I still can’t defeat you.’

’However,’

’we’ve fought for this long. It’s time to settle this.’

VMM! VMM!

As the thought crossed his mind,

the Ancestral Dragon opened his mouth and spat. Surprisingly, another Ancestral Dragon Pearl appeared.

In fact,

this was not an Ancestral Dragon Pearl, but another True Artifact: the ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’.

"Oh."

Xu Qing’s expression was calm. The battle had been utterly exhilarating for him. His strength was constantly increasing, and it had been a long time since he’d enjoyed such a satisfying fight.

The Ancestral Dragon was, without a doubt, an excellent opponent.

"This is the ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’,"

the Ancestral Dragon said. "I assume you encountered it on the ’Only True Path: Third Level.’ I’d guess you obtained one for yourself, too."

"But."

"My ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’ was not only refined by the ’Chaos Sea Root Source’ on the ’Only True Path: Fourth Level,’ I also fused ’Primordial Blood’ into it."

"Therefore,"

"my ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’ is a far cry from what it used to be. Its Mighty Power is greater than ever, and I have evolved it into a second ’Ancestral Dragon Pearl’."

"So that’s how it is."

Xu Qing nodded in understanding, then shook his head. "Ancestral Dragon, out of respect for the relationship between the Human and Dragon Races, and because you kept your promise to give half of your Immortal Origin to the Profound Yellow Realm, I will tell you something."

"What is it?"

The Ancestral Dragon was taken aback for a moment.

"Did you know that the realm above the ’Ninth Realm’ is called the ’Tenth Realm’? To enter the ’Tenth Realm,’ one must fuse the Three Great Immortals—that is, Physical Immortality, Immortal Soul, and Immortal Will—into one,"

Xu Qing said.

"Anyone who has entered the ’Ninth Realm: Undying Immortal Realm’ knows that,"

the Ancestral Dragon said.

"Correct."

Xu Qing nodded. "But what you don’t know is that stepping into the ’Tenth Realm’ by fusing Physical Immortality, Immortal Soul, and Immortal Will requires seven key elements."

"And among them,"

"one of those seven elements is named Primordial Blood. One must possess Primordial Blood to enter the Tenth Realm."

"But you fused yours into the ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’. You’ve really put the cart before the horse."

"What?!"

The Ancestral Dragon was aghast. "Th-that’s impossible!!!"

"Believe it or not."

Xu Qing shrugged. "I’ve told you what you need to know. Now that you’re aware, you still have a chance. You can always take Primordial Blood from other Immortals."

"..."

The Ancestral Dragon fell silent.

After a moment,

"Even if you’ve told me all this, I will not lose to you,"

the Ancestral Dragon declared.

"Hahaha..."

Xu Qing roared with laughter. "I never asked you to surrender."

"Because..."

"Your defeat is certain!"

KRAK!

BOOM!

As soon as he finished speaking,

Xu Qing waved his right hand. With a single thought, he summoned his Level 7 ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’. Countless motes of starlight flashed, transforming into 129,600 Supreme Swords.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!

The ring of countless swords echoed as blade called out to blade. They underwent endless transformations, gradually forming a massive Sword Array.

"You..."

The Ancestral Dragon’s eyes went wide. "That’s your ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’?! How is this possible?! How can it be so terrifyingly powerful?!"

"Kill!"

BOOM!

Xu Qing’s gaze was tranquil. With a wave of his right hand, the supreme Sword Array formed from his ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’ descended under his command, enveloping the Ancestral Dragon.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

In an instant,

countless explosions thundered in all directions. The Ancestral Dragon fought with all his might, his two Ancestral Dragon Pearls continuously unleashing their Mighty Power to counter Xu Qing’s Sword Array.

SPLURT! SPLURT! SPLURT!!

Sprays of fresh blood flew through the Sword Array, only to be instantly absorbed by it.

In the end,

the Ancestral Dragon was defeated. Gravely injured, he had come within an inch of death. If Xu Qing had not shown mercy at the critical moment, the Ancestral Dragon would have died within the Sword Array.

After all,

Xu Qing could have channeled all the True Artifacts and True Techniques he possessed into the Sword Array, increasing its Mighty Power severalfold.

But,

Xu Qing hadn’t done so. He had only released the power of his Level 7 ’True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations’. Even so, the Ancestral Dragon had barely survived.

BAM!

The Ancestral Dragon was blasted out of the Fifth Arena Universe, his massive draconic body slamming onto the platform outside. The scene stunned the many Immortal beings watching from the sidelines.

"That’s..."

"It’s the Ancestral Dragon from the Fifth Arena Universe!"

"He lost."

"But the Ancestral Dragon had won eight straight matches! An eight-win streak! He just needed this last one, and he would have moved on to the sixth level!"

"I can’t believe even the Ancestral Dragon was defeated."

"*Hiss...*"

"So who was it that beat him?"

"..."

Nearby,

the crowd of Immortals erupted in discussion.
