Chapter 1000 - 521: Fierce Battle with the Night Emperor (Part 2)

Chapter 1000: Chapter 521: Fierce Battle with the Night Emperor (Part 2)

The Nine-Star Sword Array was activated, like stars in motion, endlessly cycling, as if opening a subtle star vortex, absorbing the vast star power of the whole star realm and converting it into the energy source of the sword array.

With the continuous infusion of star power, the might of the Nine-Star Sword Array grew increasingly terrifying, with sword light flashing, carrying the power to tear through the void. It not only repelled Di Tianxing’s assault but also annihilated the invading dragon corpses of the two Nine Nether Whales, preventing them from getting close.

Di Tianxing maintained a stern expression, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Interesting, to be able to control such a sword array with a puppet, you’ve truly caught my attention. Since you have this capability, I shall indulge you."

As Di Tianxing whispered, a flicker of murderous intent crossed his eyes, his pupils emitting a ghostly glow, and a black Dharma tripod flew out from his body.

Upon the appearance of the black Dharma tripod, the entire star realm changed in color, as a majestic force surged out, emitting a terrifying dragon’s might. On the body of the tripod, lifelike dragon patterns were carved, each one seeming to contain the majesty and power of the ancient Dragon Race. The tripod spun on its own, and the dragon patterns came to life, emitting dragon roars that reached directly to the divine soul, causing Li Mu’s divine soul to pause.

"Celestial Dragon Tripod, spin!" Di Tianxing’s hands rapidly formed seals, his low chant imbued with indisputable authority.

In an instant, the pitch-black Dharma tripod seemed driven by an invisible force, its rotation speed suddenly increasing, its size expanding a hundredfold in the blink of an eye, standing like a towering mountain in the void.

The intricate dragon patterns on the tripod seemed to come to life, bursting forth with brilliant light, and then transforming into eighteen lifelike giant dragon shadows. They spiraled and shuttled, weaving an awe-inspiring scene of dragons soaring the Nine Heavens around the Celestial Dragon Tripod, forming a stark and fierce confrontation with the star power entwined with the distant Nine-Star Sword Array.

The Nine-Star Sword Array perceived this vast pressure originating from the ancient Dragon Race, the sword light becoming sharper, the rotation of the star vortex almost reaching the limits of the naked eye, as if to devour or repel all powers intruding into its domain to the Nine Heavens beyond.

However, the Celestial Dragon Tripod stood motionless like a rock. It remained unwavering to the sword array’s sharpness, instead erupting like a volcano with denser dragon breath, interweaving and colliding with the star power in the air, erupting in a deafening, starry sky-shocking roar, as if heaven and earth changed color.

Simultaneously, those ancient dragon corpses, dormant for millennia, were miraculously revived under this power. The once lifeless gleam in their eyes gradually revived, flickering with sparks of wisdom and power, as if an ancient and mysterious force had rekindled life within them.

The eighteen giant dragon corpses were no longer soulless shells; they transformed into true Dragon Soul Warriors, emitting deep and dignified roars, echoing with the giant dragon shadows released by the Celestial Dragon Tripod, together weaving a heart-stirring dragon dance feast that made the entire starry sky tremble.

"Boy, let me show you my True Dragon Realm!" Di Tianxing’s lips curled into a cold and confident smile, he coldly gazed at Li Mu, showing a small fraction of his skills.

In the next moment, the giant dragon shadows surging from the Celestial Dragon Tripod flooded into those giant dragon corpses like a torrent, instantly igniting the Dragon Soul Fire within them.

"Roar—!" A dragon roar, piercing the clouds and shaking the star realm, suddenly resounded, it was an ancient call, the awakening of the dragon’s soul. The eighteen giant dragon corpses, under the infusion of the giant dragon shadows, fully revived; the death qi on their bodies was replaced by raging vitality, their scales shimmering with dazzling light, their eyes filled with fierce killing intent and unparalleled majesty.

The eighteen corpse dragons, like a well-trained Dragon Rider Legion, raised their dragon heads high, spewing scorching dragon breath, protecting Li Mu, charging towards the Nine-Star Sword Array of the two Nine Nether Whales.

Facing this sudden change, Li Mu, although shocked, did not panic. He quickly steadied his mind, focusing intently on forming sword techniques, controlling the nine Tier Seven Puppets, changing the Nine-Star Sword Array from offense to defense.

"Nine-Star Sword Array, Star Condense!"

With a low shout from Li Mu, the sword techniques shifted, and the range of sword aura released by the Nine-Star Sword Array controlled by the nine puppets rapidly contracted from ten thousand zhang, to a thousand zhang, finally to just a thousand zhang range.

The Nine-Star Sword Array, confined to only a thousand zhang, with its starry interior dazzling and sword aura concentrated, rendered the star force even more refined, forming an indestructible star force barrier, with sword light flashing, the star power weaving into a net, blocking the surging dragon breath outside, erecting an invisible great wall in the starry sky.

The confrontation between the True Dragon Realm and the Nine-Star Sword Array was like the two poles of heaven and earth, each releasing heaven-and-earth-destroying power, yet locked in a subtle balance.

Di Tianxing’s True Dragon Realm, centered on the Celestial Dragon Tripod, with the giant dragon shadows and the dragon corpse cohort complementing each other, dragon breath surging like a black storm, threatening to engulf everything;

While Li Mu’s Nine-Star Sword Array stood like a guardian deity of the stars, the sword light condensed, and the starry barrier indestructible, repelling the dragon breath, guarding a world all its own.

Beneath this starry sky, the clash of the two forces was like the collision of two stars, explosively intense, with stars shaking and the void twisting. The standoff between the True Dragon Realm and the Nine-Star Sword Array had transcended the mere comparison of technique and sword dao, evolving into a battle of law and will.

Di Tianxing’s expression remained cold, a slight upward curl to his lips, his eyes gleaming with smugness; he had already discerned Li Mu’s ’depths’, relying merely on puppets, Dao Sword, and the sword array’s advantages to withstand the impact of the True Dragon Realm. Once the energy of those nine puppets was depleted, victory would be a matter of time.
