Chapter 1252 Is there still a backup plan?
The demons were startled and turned around abruptly.
Amidst the billowing dust, the divine sword stood horizontally, its radiant light illuminating all directions.
A figure slowly rose, his white robes covered in dust, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his black hair disheveled, yet his body emanated an astonishing sharpness, and his pair of starry eyes shone brightly, as if they were made of divine stone, gleaming with a ghostly light.
"Xiao Chen! He's not dead!"
"What a terrifying physical body! It survived a devastating blow from the Dragon Ancestor!"
"The King of Misfortune is truly invincible!"
Above the sea of clouds, amidst swirling mists and haze, the group of proud princes of the Wan Dynasty were stunned.
Just now, when the Flood Dragon Ancestor made his move, it was so powerful that it almost annihilated the heavens and earth. All the demons and humans thought that Xiao Chen was dead. They believed that the reason he was still able to keep his body intact was entirely because the Flood Dragon Ancestor had done it on purpose, wanting to leave him as a blood medicine for the Crimson Flood Dragon King to nourish himself.
Who would have thought that at the crucial moment, Xiao Chen would come back to life.
"Our benefactor is still alive!"
"Not only is he alive, but he has only suffered minor injuries!"
"Such an invincible attack failed to seriously injure my benefactor!"
As Xiao Chen appeared, the dragon claw in the void stopped, and the Five Blessings hovered in the void, temporarily escaping danger. The turtle and its offspring breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned their heads to look back. The moment they saw Xiao Chen, they were shocked and dumbfounded.
"They're still alive?" The Crimson Dragon King was quite surprised, his expression turning solemn.
The Dragon Ancestor was nearly invincible in strength. He had been a dominant figure since ancient times and was a truly awe-inspiring figure in ancient times.
At his peak, he only needed to glance at someone as promising as Xiao Chen to cause them to be utterly destroyed.
Even now, with only a remnant soul remaining, the Dragon Ancestor still possesses divine might; a single strike from him can terrify gods and ghosts.
With Xiao Chen's strength, there should be no way he could have survived.
"What an amazing physical body! It actually withstood my attack!" the Flood Dragon Ancestor murmured.
With its strength, if it were to investigate, it would surely be able to discover that Xiao Chen was not dead.
But it was too confident, and after that one strike, it paid no more attention.
Of course, even if Xiao Chen hadn't died, it didn't affect his state of mind.
Even if a giant of its caliber were to become a mere remnant soul, it would not take a junior like Xiao Chen seriously.
If one blow doesn't kill, then strike again. You're nothing but an ant!
Sensing that Xiao Chen had "resurrected," the Black Armored Dragon Turtle Beast was overjoyed, and its anger and killing intent were diluted by three points.
It felt immense guilt over Xiao Chen's death, regretting that it could not make amends. Now that an opportunity had fallen from the sky, it would definitely seize it and not let the regret repeat itself.
"I'm a little curious. Since you're not dead, why don't you hurry up and escape? Why do you dare to come out and meddle in other people's business?" The Flood Dragon Ancestor spoke, his eyes shining brightly, filled with a ghostly light, as if he had lit two blood moons, his ferocious power overwhelming.
"Why are you trying to escape?" Xiao Chen reached out to the sky, and the Dragon Slayer Sword flew into his hand automatically, clanging and radiating terrifying sharpness.
His body was filled with surging demonic energy and mysterious runes, ready to unleash his true demonic power at any moment.
Of course, the Jiaozu was too powerful; even with the True Demon fully activated, it was impossible for him to be instantly killed.
Therefore, he interrupted his half-demonization and used the power of the divine crystal to sustain himself, trying to buy as much time as possible.
However, he was not confident that he could replicate the semi-demonized state if it happened again, since it was only activated by chance last time.
If the replication fails and he unleashes his full power, he won't be able to hold on for long. When he's exhausted, he and the Black Armored Dragon Turtle Beast clan will die here!
"You want to play the hero?" The Dragon Ancestor frowned, its crimson-gold eyes flashing with a fierce light, as if two rivers of blood were surging within them. It couldn't understand how an ant dared to speak so arrogantly in front of it.
Amidst the mountains and above the sea of clouds, the demon race and the myriad prodigies of the dynasty were quite surprised, wondering where Xiao Chen got the confidence to dare to show off in front of the Dragon Ancestor!
You must know that it is a peerless ferocious demon from ancient times. Even if its strength is not even one ten-thousandth of its peak, it is definitely not something that a mere second-level King Realm cultivator like him can provoke!
"My benefactor is so fierce!"
"But the Dragon Ancestor is ferocious and mad, and my benefactor is injured; I'm afraid he will be no match for him!"
"We will accompany our benefactor on his journey!"
The tortoises whispered, their voices a mixture of worry and pride.
Having come this far, they had long since disregarded life and death, showing no fear of living or dying.
Under the shimmering blue sky, the turtles stood united and resolute, ready to face their deaths at any moment.
Even with their blue robes stained with blood and their hair disheveled, the turtles and their offspring stood steadfastly before the black-armored dragon turtle beast, determined to build the first line of defense with their own flesh and blood.
"It's brave, but it's all for nothing!"
"The Flood Dragon Ancestor is too powerful, enough to seal the heavens and lock the earth!"
"Not to mention the Flood Dragon Ancestor, even the Crimson Flood Dragon King is invincible in its ferocity. Unless the Black Armored Dragon Turtle Beast breaks through ahead of time and reigns supreme as a Demon Emperor, who can stop it? Unfortunately, there's no chance now!"
The demons sighed softly.
"Out of control."
"Before the Dragon Ancestor and the Crimson Dragon King, even if he is the King of Misfortune, he must bow down and submit!"
"I don't care about what happens after Xiao Chen dies. I'm only afraid that after Xiao Chen dies, the Dragon Ancestor and the Crimson Dragon King will take action against us!"
Above the clouds, the myriad prodigies remained indifferent, showing no concern for Xiao Chen's life or death. Their entire attention was focused on the Flood Dragon Ancestor and the Crimson Flood Dragon King. If Xiao Chen were to die, the Crimson Flood Dragon King and the Flood Dragon Ancestor would likely launch a hunt against them, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Young friend, retreat quickly, I will hold them off for you." Just then, the Black-Armored Dragon Turtle Beast spoke, its entire body glowing like a divine sun setting over the Spirit River, its blue light illuminating the universe. Astonishing light waves emanated from its body, as if it were burning its divine soul to buy Xiao Chen a final moment.
In its view, Xiao Chen was no match for the Crimson Flood Dragon King and the Flood Dragon Ancestor. Only by sacrificing its divine soul could it secure a chance for Xiao Chen to survive.
"Ancestor, you mustn't!"
"Ancestor, stop immediately!"
"Burning your divine soul, you will vanish from the mortal realm forever, unable even to enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
The tortoises and their offspring howled in grief and shed tears, knowing that their ancestor was about to die, his soul scattered and utterly annihilated.
"My children, I am sorry for you. I am incompetent and failed to protect you!" The black-armored dragon turtle beast's eyelids twitched, and amidst the blood-red light, it was about to open its eyes and burn its soul. Once it opened its eyes, the breakthrough would be completely interrupted, and it would die and perish, beyond the help of even the gods.
"Old tortoise, you're willing to burn your soul for a complete idiot you've never even met?" The Crimson Dragon King exclaimed in astonishment, his enormous, blood-red eyes filled with horror.
Burning one's soul is an excruciating ordeal; from beginning to end, the pain endured by the spontaneously combusting individual is a hundred times more intense than burning one's physical body.
This kind of pain is unbearable for any living being!
At this moment, the Black Armored Dragon Turtle Beast was actually willing to burn its divine soul for Xiao Chen!
"If it weren't for me, my friend Xiao Chen wouldn't be here. He was willing to die for me, so I should repay him with all my might," the Black-Armored Dragon Turtle Beast murmured.
"Old Turtle, stop! I have a backup plan! Stop immediately!" Seeing that the Black Armored Dragon Turtle Beast was about to interrupt its breakthrough and burn its soul, Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically.
"A backup plan?" The demons and humans in the arena were astonished. Xiao Chen actually had a backup plan?
The Crimson Dragon King and the Dragon Ancestor looked disdainful, their hearts calm and undisturbed, completely disregarding Xiao Chen's words!
What backup plan could he, a mere cultivator at the second level of the King Realm, possibly have in front of those two peerless ferocious demons?
unless……
