Chapter 421 Death is imminent
"What a powerful Ancestral Immortal Origin! If these Origins are combined together, even a person with a foundation like mine will be able to break through to the Ancestral Immortal realm!"

After a brief moment of distraction, Chai Xin began to become uncontrollably excited.

Even he himself had never thought that with the blessing of the formation, he could use just one move to instantly kill all the eighteen dragon ancestors who were also blessed by the formation!

This is enough to show that even without relying on the power of the core formation, he is fully capable of killing the combined forces of the eighteen ancestral immortals.

However, relatively speaking, it will waste more time.

"Elder Mo Yun, seniors, my mission has been completed, and now it's up to you guys to take over!"

Chai Xin let out a long howl, and his words deliberately revealed a hint of weakness, as if the previous attack had consumed a lot of his energy.

This is a means of showing weakness to the enemy and paralyzing the enemy. He did not forget that not only is he not Zhou Ling, but he also converted the other party.

He would not think that the Immortal Lord Mo Yun was really optimistic about him at the moment, and he would not forget that everyone here was an enemy to him.

His first priority now is not to take advantage of the situation to steal some treasures, or to help the seven Yuanxians kill the True Dragon Immortal.

Although he is very powerful at the moment, if he works together with everyone to kill the True Dragon Immortal, it will be impossible for him to obtain the distribution rights of the old dragon.

If you can get one-tenth, it would be considered reasonable by the old guys. It is even possible that you can only get a few magic weapons and some elixirs.

Instead of doing this, it is better to temporarily withdraw the core of the formation, refine the essence of the eighteen dragon clan ancestors, and then break through to the ancestral immortal realm.

By then, his strength will at least increase tenfold again!
Not to mention being able to contend against the legendary saints, but at least in the Yuanxian realm, he would definitely be invincible and truly invincible.

If he took advantage of the chaos at that time, even if more Yuanxian strongmen from various forces came, they would not be able to do anything to him.

"With the time speeding up, I will be able to complete the refining and enter the Ancestral Immortal Realm in a quarter of an hour at most. By that time, I'm afraid the fierce battle between the seven Yuan Immortals and the True Dragon Yuan Immortal will not be over yet!"

Chai Xin didn't wait for anyone to respond. As soon as he thought about it, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Zhou Ling, you have performed a great deed this time. When we return to the sect, I will personally recommend you for the credit! You can go and recuperate, and leave the rest to us old bones! Hahaha..."

From above the sky came the hearty and happy laughter of Immortal Master Mo Yun.

Everyone who knows him well knows that this old guy has a very arrogant personality and is very taciturn, let alone talking and laughing.

His behavior in public at this moment clearly showed that he was extremely satisfied and admired Zhou Ling, his disciple.

At this time, the many geniuses from the immortal world on the periphery finally recovered from the shock brought by Chai Xin's previous attack.

"With one move, he killed eighteen Ancestral Immortals, who were from the Dragon Clan, eight of whom even had true dragon bloodlines... This Zhou Ling is actually so strong!"

"No wonder he dared to interfere in the battle between Yuanxian masters. Judging from this move alone, his strength is probably enough to rival any Yuanxian!"

"It's so scary. We are both Golden Immortals, but when he used his law just now, my breathing became stagnant. I couldn't even move a finger!"

Countless people were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief, and their discussions resounded through the sky.

In the corner, several Shenzhou Sect disciples were also shocked and speechless for a long time.

"Senior Brother Zhou is truly the greatest genius of our sect in hundreds of thousands of years. In comparison, the greatest saints of all generations are not even worth mentioning..."

In the blink of an eye, some people changed their words and called Zhou Ling "senior brother".

Everyone else was convinced and nodded in agreement.

Those guys who had been complaining and jealous before were now horrified and dared not say anything more, falling into a long silence.

Faced with absolute strength and an irreparable gap, they had no other thoughts except to look up.

After Chai Xin retreated temporarily, the battle above the sky continued.

Due to the complete annihilation of his men, Zhenlong Yuanxian fell into madness. His huge dragon body kept dancing and flapping in the air, displaying all kinds of dragon clan's unique skills.

For a moment, vast magical power swept across the sky. If it weren't for the seven Yuan Immortals standing in front, even if the geniuses from the immortal world below had already hidden far away, they would have suffered heavy casualties.

"Old Loach, if you don't retreat now, and a few more Yuanxian masters come later, will you still be able to leave? Do you really think that my fairyland is the garden of your dragon clan?"

"This old guy is really crazy. He actually dares to stay here alone. He simply doesn't know whether he lives or dies!"

Although the seven people led by Immortal Venerable Mo Yun were connected by a formation and their overall strength was much stronger than that of True Dragon Yuanxian, they still did not have an overwhelming advantage.

If you want to defeat the opponent in a short period of time, you will have to pay at least one or two lives.

But this is undoubtedly unacceptable to them.

But if this continues, the Yuanxian from other major forces will definitely arrive. If they are from the Heavenly Court, it would be fine. But if they are from some forces that are not very fond of the Heavenly Court, it will be extremely disadvantageous for them.

Those latecomers don't have to do anything else. They just need to take advantage of the battle between the two sides to collect the king-grade spiritual veins and then take away the treasures deep in the spiritual veins. It will be a huge loss for them.

Not to mention, if the fragments of the artifact of creation happen to appear when other people arrive, the loss will be even greater!
Even the mission they were temporarily assigned to on this trip might not be completed, which would be a loss.

Therefore, although he really wanted to keep this True Dragon Yuanxian, when he thought about the most important goal of this trip, the seven Yuanxian powerful men, he still hoped that the other party would retreat and leave as soon as possible.

"Retreat? If I kill all my men, how can I return to the Dragon Realm without making you pay a price? You don't dare to fight, but I do! If other humans arrive later, the worst that can happen is that I will die!"

The Zhenlong Yuanxian's loud and slightly crazy voice resounded through the void, mixed with extremely strong murderous intent and anger.

"Besides, judging from your words and actions, you seem to be quite worried about those who come after you, right? Hehe, the more you are afraid of something, the more I want it to happen! If you want to scare me, you are still far from it!"

This old dragon seems reckless and has been blinded by anger, but in fact he is still thoughtful.

He had keenly realized that the seven Yuanxians in front of him had no intention of fighting him to the death. At the same time, they were also quite wary of the human latecomers who were about to arrive.

Based on this, Lao Long felt that he still had a chance.

Even if I cannot establish any meritorious service, I must at least save some face so that I can give an explanation when I return to the Dragon Realm.

This is indeed the case. If there are later arrivals, this True Dragon Immortal may really be able to wait for an unexpected opportunity.

Of course, there are risks involved.

If the person behind him was a master from the Heavenly Court, he might not even have a chance to escape. However, this operation failed so completely that Zhenlong Yuanxian could not bear it. If he could not make some achievements in other aspects, he would be criticized by the clan leaders and other factions when he returned.

Although the dragon race is far more united than the human race, they are not completely united internally, and there are still frequent struggles for power and profit.

It's just that with the pressure from the ancestors, no one dares to go too far. And when the tribe's survival is really at stake, no one dares to stab them in the back, otherwise the constraints deep in their blood will cause them to explode and die.

But in this action, the True Dragon Patriarch definitely made a big mistake. Even if the enemy factions took the opportunity to suppress him, it was completely reasonable and no one could say "no".

Therefore, he was unwilling to go back and be blamed, and still wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the artifact of creation to offset the guilt of the annihilation of his entire army.

As time passed, the battle became more and more intense, and both sides were really angry.

Especially the seven powerful Yuanxian, who clearly had the upper hand, and they also tried to persuade the True Dragon Yuanxian with kind words, intending to give him a chance to survive.

But I never expected that the other party would not appreciate it at all, and was even planning to wait for an opportunity to strike.

If this drags on any longer, if a force dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court comes later, won’t they be able to take advantage of it?

The longer the time drags on, the greater the risk, and the anger in their hearts will naturally become stronger.

"This old man is so ungrateful. I wanted to let him go so that we wouldn't have to waste our efforts. But he refused to budge... Everyone, we can't delay any longer. We must not fail in the mission issued by the Jade Emperor!"

"Yes, at worst I can give up this body. As long as the mission is completed, the Jade Emperor will give me a reward that will be enough to make up for the loss!"

"Yes, if the mission fails, it won't just be the loss of a physical body. I'm afraid none of us can bear the consequences..."

The eyes of the seven Yuanxian powerful men flickered, and after exchanging their thoughts, they quickly reached a consensus.

Their trip to seize the fragments of the Creation Artifact was another order from the Jade Emperor. Otherwise, they would not dare to leave their post without permission and come to the secret realm to steal treasures while the mission there was still in progress.

If the task can be completed, the rewards will naturally be extremely generous.

But if they fail, the punishment that follows will be unbearable even for those at the peak of Yuanxian level like them.

I didn't want to spend too much money to forcibly suppress this old dragon.

After all, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. One careless mistake may result in a huge price, or even casualties.

But if they continue like this, the mission will most likely fail, which is something they cannot accept.

The seven people present are all peerless geniuses among their peers, otherwise they would not be able to become the pinnacle of Yuanxian.

Therefore, among them, three of them have mastered the extraordinary method of splitting themselves into two.

As long as one clone is still alive, he can continue to survive and even have a way to cultivate other clones.

However, every time he cultivated his clone, the cost was extremely huge. It was no exaggeration to say that the cost was no less than forcibly creating a dozen ordinary Yuanxians!
Therefore, unless it is a truly critical moment, no one would be willing to lose one of their clones.

"Mo Yun, Yuan Ye, when we were carrying out the mission before, we all lost at least three or four top-grade magic weapons, which is not much different from the cost of a clone. This time, it should be your turn to contribute, right?"

"Yes, it's your turn now."

"It should be so, otherwise we won't be able to convince the crowd. And even if you two are allowed to lead the attack, with your strength, you may not lose this clone."

The rest of the people quickly united their front and pushed out Immortal Master Mo Yun and True Lord Yuan Ye.

Although Immortal Venerable Mo Yun and True Lord Yuan Ye were unhappy, they could not say much. After all, what the others said was true.

In the previous mission, everyone else had consumed some of their resources to some extent, but these two suffered almost no losses.

Although they are the two strongest among the seven, they cannot afford to offend everyone. Not only are they worried that others will collude with them, but the most important thing is that there is the Jade Emperor above their heads!
Although the Jade Emperor might not care about a few little guys in the Yuanxian realm, none of the seven of them dared to gamble.

If they acted too recklessly, the Jade Emperor would reprimand them on a whim, and word of it would be enough to cause their respective sects or tribes to marginalize them.

Now is the time when the seven major forces are cooperating sincerely with the Heavenly Court. If they are reprimanded by the Jade Emperor, the seven major forces will not risk offending the Jade Emperor and still use them.

This is why they are determined to successfully complete the mission even at the cost of heavy losses.

It is not only about the task rewards, but also about your future prospects!
Once the mission fails and they are punished by the Jade Emperor, the forces behind them will definitely abandon them without hesitation.

Without the support of their own forces, even if they are gifted, their desire to become saints and immortals will almost become a pipe dream.

"Well, let the two of us lead the attack, but you must not hold back, otherwise the mission will fail and no one will benefit!"

"You must all give it your all, otherwise I will report to His Majesty the Jade Emperor afterwards!"

The two of them hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Afterwards, the formation of the Jade Emperor's Seven Absolute Formations suddenly changed.

Originally, each of the seven people was the core of the formation. Although the combat power was only increased by about twice, it was harmonious and had both offensive and defensive capabilities.

But at this moment, the number of formation centers decreased from seven to two, and the combat power increase of the remaining five people instantly dropped by 20%.

However, the combat power of Immortal Venerable Mo Yun and True Lord Yuan Ye has increased by nearly 50% again on the basis of doubling the original amount!
Moreover, the entire formation has changed from its original balanced and harmonious state to a more violent and fierce state.

In comparison, the defensive capability dropped by nearly 50% - of course, it was still much stronger than when they were fighting alone.

This is equivalent to sacrificing controllability and defense, and further improving attack power!
The one who felt it most deeply was of course their opponent, the True Dragon Immortal.

Immediately, he felt the pressure increase sharply.

The attacks from Immortal Venerable Mo Yun and Immortal Venerable Yuan Ye were particularly fierce, and he, who was already at a disadvantage, completely lost the ability to fight back and could only defend himself.

"Damn it, this formation is so mysterious! If we defend it for too long, we will lose it. If we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on..."

Zhenlong Yuanxian felt bitter in his heart and regretted not letting go just now.

"Old man, I gave you a chance but you didn't cherish it. Now it's too late to back out!"

Master Yuan Ye sensed the change in his opponent's mood and immediately sneered at him.
