I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2523: 1134: Claiming the Dragon Gall

With Chen Mobai's exceptional skills in magical battles, he seized the moment without fail as Da Kong True Monarch activated the Void Lock.

The Yi Yuan Avatar instantly manipulated the Water Element True Power near the injury on the old dragon's back, transforming it into the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam via the Five Elements Transformation Method.

As the might of this Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam originated from the old dragon itself, the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl overlooked it entirely, permitting the beam to surge right through the dragon's form.

The full layer of hide across the old dragon's back got stripped off by the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam, slicing clean through its entire body in a flash.

Viewed from afar, it resembled vibrant rays, akin to razor-sharp swords, stabbing into the old dragon's back and midsection, with scales tumbling down like a storm and frosty blood droplets spraying outward.

These abrupt piercing injuries forced a piercing cry from the old dragon that it couldn't hold back.

For thousands of years, it hadn't endured any harm.

The Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam that bore into its flesh even tore apart and divided its liver and gallbladder in the waist and belly area.

Overwhelmed by excruciating agony, the old dragon unleashed its unmatched true power from the True Spirit's Essence Blood through the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl, blasting it from its maw in all directions.

Even as Da Kong True Monarch hastily dispelled the Void Lock, his complexion remained ashen, with blood trickling from his nostrils.

Shenxi promptly retrieved a pill and offered it to him. He gulped it down without delay and refined its essence, quelling the raging forces and the chaos within his Purple Mansion's Sea of Knowledge.

Beneath the outbreak of the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl's force, the Sixth Rank Dan Cauldron and the Mysterious Nether Immortal Light from the Tongtian Refining Road Tower both buckled under the pressure.

Though the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam remained elusive and potent, resistance against it proved impossible.

Yet Chen Mobai had already accomplished what he sought.

The final thread of the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam extracted the severed portion of the dragon's gall from the gash on the old dragon's back, darting swiftly into the falling Hun Yuan Bell.

The Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl's energy slammed into the pale, misty surface of the bell, igniting another tremendous clash between the two Sixth Rank Artifacts.

This time, positioned over the Mysterious Sea, the Hun Yuan Bell faced swift restraint from the surging azure glow.

The Yi Yuan Avatar extended his right hand, crossing the vast Mysterious Sea to seize the Hun Yuan Bell, gripping its handle and forcing it downward with immense pressure.

At that instant, the Primordial Dao Fruit's power reached its peak intensity.

Despite the overwhelming and endless Water Element Great Dao True Power of the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl, it scattered partially in this crucial moment.

Nevertheless, an even fiercer azure radiance soon burst from the old dragon's jaws, shattering the Hun Yuan Bell's hold and hurling it aside with a thunderous clang.

Still, Chen Mobai had secured the dragon gall by then.

The old dragon yearned to reclaim its gall, but the Yi Yuan Avatar had already hoisted the Hun Yuan Bell aloft, positioning it over the East Barbarians' frontier.

Just as it dominated unchallenged above the Mysterious Sea, should it venture onto solid ground, the four Righteous Deity Transformation cultivators of the Eastern Continent ahead could challenge it, and Chen Mobai by himself would suffice to stall its advance.

Furthermore, the enigmatic Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam had truly instilled fear in it.

The Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court hadn't emerged during the era when Yi Yuan True Monarch dominated the Tianhe Realm, so while tales of this supreme technique had reached its ears, facing it firsthand caught it off guard.

Without the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl's safeguarding, it could have been bisected outright.

Truly, the ultimate legacy of an Ascended Monk's mightiest ability.

Deep down, the old dragon even counted itself lucky for testing the technique on merely half a gall, gaining valuable knowledge, and vowing not to fall for such tricks again.

“Wait for it, I will return to flood the East Continent.”

Harboring that resolve, the old dragon uttered its final threat and plunged into the Mysterious Sea's profound depths.

Chen Mobai and his allies, of course, refrained from chasing it down for the kill.

Once submerged in the Mysterious Sea, the old dragon could harness the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl with amplified dominance. Pursuing it into those waters might flip the script, turning them into the hunted.

“This disaster, heaven knows when it will truly end.”

Shenxi gazed at the receding waves, now lacking the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl's force, and let out a heavy sigh.

From the moment the Human Race established their Dao heritage in the Eastern Continent, conflicts with the various Demon Race Royal Courts never ceased. At the Human Emperor's zenith, wiping out three Great Royal Courts triggered the Eastern Emperor Court's downfall and eventual collapse.

Of them all, the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court posed the most persistent menace.

During the Eastern Emperor Court's height, a Deity Transformation True Monarch from the Fanhai Sect's Hall of Ten Directions stood vigil there, fending off the Mysterious Sea Monster Race's assaults.

In the climactic clash against the Nine Great Saints, three such Deity Transformation True Monarchs from the Hall of Ten Directions fought right on this field.

Even so, the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court emerged unscathed.

The Profound Abyss True Monarch of Submerged Abyss Island fell, the Xuan Guang True Monarch of the Fanhai Sect sustained critical wounds, and the Fu Hai True Monarch of the Place of Observation got sealed away, vanishing into the Sea Eye.

That very confrontation unveiled the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl's formidable strength to the Eastern Continent.

Thankfully, the Eastern Emperor Court thrived at its apex then, and slaying the Golden Flood Dragon King of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court secured victory for the Human Race on that front.

Ever since, the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao steered clear of confronting the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court to evade further anguish.

They recognized that an all-out war would inflict devastating tolls on the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao.

And now, this lurking threat had finally burst forth.

The assault on the Nine Heavens Morality Sect was the first blow, the inundation of the East Barbarians the second; with events unfolding in threes, the old Flood Dragon's stance today confirmed its refusal to seek peace. From here on, relentless trials awaited this region.

“Sect Master Chen, our entire sect's disciples reside in the East Land, so defending this battlefield might require your personal involvement.”

Shenxi spoke with a touch of awkwardness, since the East Barbarians' growth was originally meant as a frontline buffer for the inevitable showdown between the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao and the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, distant from the East Land to shield those sacred sites.

Now that this territory fell under the Five Elements Sect's control, if Chen Mobai wished to preserve it, he bore the onus.

“It's my responsibility.”

Chen Mobai accepted without evasion, having braced for the direst outcomes after integrating the East Barbarians into the Five Elements Sect's holdings.

That said, he also leveraged the moment to seek additional resources and support.

The prolonged conflict with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court would define the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years.

With the Five Elements Sect volunteering to lead the charge, the three Deity Transformation experts present all endorsed his proposed terms.

Ni Yuanzhong went further, pledging to dispatch ten Nascent Soul Elders to bolster the Five Elements Sect upon his return.

“The Mysterious Sea teems with Monster Race forces; I'll also rally the Eastern Continent's Righteous powers to the East Barbarians, much like our push into the Dongling Domain.”

Shenxi nodded firmly and committed to the effort.

Back then, the Dao Morale Sect spearheaded the initiative, whereas this war against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court places the Five Elements Sect at the helm.

Whether the Five Elements Sect can muster that same enthusiasm as in the Dongling Domain falls to their leadership.

After all, galvanizing the Eastern Continent's major factions required the Dao Morale Sect to offer rare treasures such as the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, Coagulation Infant Pill, and Mystical Ice Spirit Liquid.

Yet Chen Mobai held no concerns on this front. Earlier, in deference to the Dao Morale Sect, Danxia Pavilion and South Mountain Shop had restrained their trade of premium resources to the East Land.

But amid war, such reservations could end.

Revealing an array of superior Elixirs, Magic Artifacts, and Talismans forged through Immortal Gate techniques would astonish the Eastern Continent's cultivators.

“To eradicate this peril for good, we must neutralize the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl. Might we borrow the Primordial Water Control Banner? I intend to harness Mount Wudi's Sixth Rank Spirit Vein to upgrade the Primordial Clock, aiming to advance it to Sixth Rank Superior Grade. With elemental dominance, it could fully overpower the Sea Suppressing Bead.”

Following this skirmish, Chen Mobai burned to strengthen the Primordial Clock.

He had thoroughly merged with the Primordial Dao Fruit, granting him fluid command over the Primordial Clock, needing only a Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner's expertise for the upgrade.

Achieving Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner status demands forging a Sixth Rank Magic Artifact.

Chen Mobai had once elevated the Primordial Yang Sword through sheer fortune, which in the Tianhe Realm might qualify as Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner caliber.

However, Chen Mobai demands perfection from himself, aligning with the Immortal Gate's benchmarks.

In the Immortal Gate, no Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner exists, yet the criteria for Sixth Rank remain consistent.

It calls for producing three Sixth Rank creations.

Beyond the Primordial Yang Sword, Chen Mobai pursues advancements for the Purple Electric Sword and the Douluo Eight Scenic Lantern. These Magic Artifacts inch toward elevation, but reaching Sixth Rank demands prolonged effort, potentially endless. Indeed, Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts transcend mere materials; they demand infusion of the Great Tao.

In light of this, he contemplates enlisting allies, leveraging resources to ensure triumph.

“You aim to forge Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts? Do you seek to ascend as a Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner, Sect Master Chen?”

This revelation stunned Shenxi and the others.

Within the Tianhe Sovereign's domain, among surviving Deity Transformation beings, the pinnacle of artifact forging belongs to the Immortal in Flames, whose Sixth Rank endeavors all faltered.

Should Chen Mobai succeed in enhancing the Primordial Clock, he would undisputedly claim the Tianhe Realm's foremost Artifact Refiner title.

“Yes, beyond dissolving Mount Wudi's Sixth Rank Spirit Vein, securing the matching Sixth Rank Five Elements Essence would vastly boost the odds of success.”

The group grasped Chen Mobai's plan from his explanation.

“Our Dao Morale Sect's vault holds a Sixth Rank Azure Blue Essence Crystal. I'll confer with the elders upon return, though I suspect they'll honor Sect Master Chen's valor against the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court and gladly provide it.”

Shenxi voiced his backing at once, deepening Chen Mobai's regard for him.

“I possess a sack of Leaving Fire Divine Sand, a Sixth Rank Spirit Material blending earth and fire attributes…”

Da Kong True Monarch promptly withdrew a container from their Storage Bag.

Ni Yuanzhong, meanwhile, seemed abashed, as the Nine Heavens Morality Sect's stores lacked fitting Sixth Rank Spirit Materials for the Primordial Clock; their prior Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Metal had been a prized asset.
