I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2540 - 1145: Dragon Slaying
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Even without the aid of the Mysterious Sea, the aged Flood Dragon remains a top-tier powerhouse among the True Spirits in the Tianhe Realm. Within the Immortal Gate, its might is certainly not inferior to that of Qian Xing.
To face such an adversary, Chen Mobai unleashed a full display of his techniques: the Three Phoenixes Dharma Aspect, the Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit, and the Yi Yuan Avatar, launching an offensive that felt like a siege by five Deity Transformation True Monarchs.
All-encompassing shadows swirled within the Law Domain, and suddenly, a brilliant golden burst erupted directly before the old Flood Dragon’s gaze.
In a fleeting moment, the gloom vanished, and light took its place.
However, having honed its physical form through countless grueling trials, the Flood Dragon merely squinted at this abrupt shift in luminosity.
Yet, as the absolute nature of the Law Domain revealed itself, the astonishment etched onto the creature’s face was unmistakable.
Chen Mobai stood in the distance before a Spirit Tree aglow with five-colored radiance. Above him, an Azure Bird circled, dispersing Immortal Light that flowed into the central Five Elements Spirit Tree and fortified the expanse of the Law Domain.
The eternal power of the Pure Yang Great Dao ensured that no matter how savage their struggle, the Law Domain would remain unbroken.
Within an instant, the old Flood Dragon grasped the critical flaw of this bizarre world: the Five Elements Spirit Tree shielded behind Chen Mobai.
Whether shattering it would grant an escape remained uncertain, but it served as a glimmer of hope.
Already, thirty percent of its True Spirit Power had been squandered since the duel began; if it failed to devise a strategy, total exhaustion and death were inevitable.
Despite living for millennia, the old Flood Dragon had no desire to perish.
Identifying its target, the beast let out a thunderous roar. Channeling its remaining True Strength, the massive, world-ending dragon body carved through the cascading magma and the swirling Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam, lunging past the Primordial Clock toward the Spirit Tree.
Observing this, Chen Mobai’s expression remained stoic.
The Yi Yuan Avatar stepped forward, positioning itself in his defense. At that moment, the power surging from the Primordial Dao Fruit ruptured, condensing into a torrential rain of five-colored light and knitting an intricate net of Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam between the draconic beast and Chen Mobai.
It was a literal sea of brilliance!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Primordial Clock now operated at its absolute limit. As the heavy five-colored ripples struck the azure aura of the Sea Suppressing Bead, a grayish mist began to coalesce.
Fixed in place by this gray resonance, the struggling Sea Suppressing Bead was rendered immobile.
The old Flood Dragon found its body similarly constrained.
It quickly deduced that continuing its advance under the weight of the Primordial Clock meant dragging the Sea Suppressing Bead into a direct collision.
Past encounters had taught it that without the endless replenishment of the Mysterious Sea, the Bead could not evade the Clock's suppression.
Had it not been for the superior grade of the Sea Suppressing Bead, it might have been completely neutralized upon their first contact.
A choice had to be made immediately.
With a flash of cold malice in its pupils, the old Flood Dragon spat out a mouthful of vital Heart Blood, channeling it into the Bead floating above its head like a clap of thunder.
Empowered by the Heart Blood, the Sea Suppressing Bead emitted a deep, unprecedented blue brilliance.
Sensing the relic's looming instability, Chen Mobai’s consciousness synchronized with the Primordial Clock.
[Master, this creature intends to detonate the Treasure Bead’s essence! It is willing to sacrifice the item's grade just to inflict grave damage upon me!]
The Primordial Clock’s panicked voice resonated within Chen Mobai. Despite having finally settled a decade of competition through attribute suppression, the artifact had only recently finished its upgrade and feared being forced into a regression.
Chen Mobai considered evading the explosive blast of the Bead’s spirit. Avoiding the head-on collision would keep them safe, and the dragon, stripped of its weapon, would become easy prey.
However, Chen Mobai reconsidered.
Predicting the trajectory of the strike toward himself and the Five Elements Spirit Tree, he realized that dodging would save him and the Clock, but the Law Domain would surely be ruptured.
While the Pure Yang Great Dao could restore the Law Domain, the old Flood Dragon would undoubtedly perceive the opening and use the chaos to flee.
Having sacrificed so much to bring the monster to this point, Chen Mobai found failure unacceptable. Even if the beast were to be confined to its Dragon Palace forever, he had given his word—the Flood Dragon would die today!
"You are to block the Sea Suppressing Bead. Do not fear injury, for the Pure Yang Great Dao shall sustain you. You will neither fall nor retreat."
At his command, the Primordial Bell Spirit gritted its teeth and manifested from the void, intercepting the plummeting Sea Suppressing Bead mid-air.
With a thunderous, dissonant clang, the Bead slammed into the casing of the Clock. The collision was so severe that Chen Mobai watched the metal wall bulge under the force, releasing a surge of wild Water Element Great Dao power.
Chen Mobai immediately dispersed the Pure Yang Great Dao’s Immortal Light, directing the Yi Yuan Avatar and the Peacock Dharma Aspect to reinforce the Primordial Clock. The Primordial Bead, acting as the clock’s anchor, erupted in radiant five-color light, utilizing the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture’s secrets to absorb and transmute the encroaching power.
Rumbling throughout the void!
Despite their efforts, the Primordial Clock was knocked into an arc by the Bead, triggering gas explosions that warped the very space around them.
Yet, Chen Mobai had achieved his goal: the Bead was deflected toward the vast ocean north of the Five Elements Spirit Tree.
This Law Domain was a refinement of Chen Mobai’s personal realm, born of the Yi Yuan Secret Realm. The northern expanse was a domain of Water Spirit Qi, one he had been keeping sealed, leaving the Flood Dragon entirely ignorant of the trap.
Within this Law Domain, even if the Flood Dragon were a True Spirit of the Water Vein, Chen Mobai could effectively strip away its authority over the elements.
This adaptability was the greatest strength of the Law Domain—crafting the most punishing environment possible for his enemies.
Roar!
Yet, the dragon had intended for the Bead to displace the Clock, forcing Chen Mobai to choose between releasing the domain to let it escape or weathering the destruction of both treasures.
The Flood Dragon believed that without the restriction of the Primordial Clock, it would no longer be so hindered.
As the two artifacts collided and spiraled northward, the twisting void revealed a glimpse of the Mysterious Sea beyond, fueling the dragon with excitement.
Its judgment was correct.
With an earth-shattering roar, the dragon unleashed sound waves that tore through the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam, shattering the colorful strands one by one.
Then, its golden body armored, the Flood Dragon charged directly into the remaining beams, jaws agape, lunging for Chen Mobai.
While True Spirits rely on bloodline arts, in a fight to the death, they trust their instincts—and their physical form above all.
Having tempered its body to the Fifth Rank Peak using the Sea Eye and augmented it with ancestral Sixth Rank scales, the creature considered itself halfway to the Sixth Rank. As it barreled forward, it snapped the remaining divine light beams.
Simultaneously, blood seeped from beneath its darkened scales as the remnants of the light beams—led by Chen Mobai’s precise manipulation—pierced every gap in its armor.
Because its Essence and Blood Energy were so saturated with Water Elemental power, the dragon was highly susceptible to the infiltration of these lights.
Amidst a sickening tearing sound, the Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam was successfully extracting pieces of the dragon’s black armor.
Yet the Flood Dragon had already closed the distance, its massive head nearly enveloping Chen Mobai.
With a snap of its ivory teeth, the dragon believed it had finally devoured the human and the Five Elements Spirit Tree.
Success!
As it surged through, physical triumph filled it with joy, but that feeling quickly died as it realized something was wrong: its jaws had clamped onto nothing but air.
Clap! Clap!
The sound of rhythmic applause nearby startled the creature. Looking to its right, the dragon found a vision of Chen Mobai and the Five Elements Spirit Tree manifesting out of thin air.
Bleeding from its eyes, it opened its maw once more, desperate to swallow the man and the tree. Again, it bit only empty space.
"If not for our fateful meeting, you could have roamed the Mortal Realm at your leisure."
Another apparition of Chen Mobai and the tree appeared. The dragon tilted its massive head, staring in confusion at the tiny human before it.
"Just what is going on here?"
Facing the beast’s bewilderment, Chen Mobai snapped his fingers, and hundreds of identical clones manifested throughout the domain.
"The Void Illusion of the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace is a potent technique. When combined with my Law Domain, I can create any sight I desire for your eyes, requiring only subtle shifts to deceive your senses."
With a wave of his hand, Chen Mobai shattered the space where the dragon had just been, causing the illusion of magma to dissipate like smoke.
"Law Domain! Void Illusion! Are you truly the successor of the Yi Yuan True Monarch?" The Flood Dragon’s face was twisted in disbelief.
"No, I actually inherited my path from the Longevity Sect." Technically, by order of succession, Chen Mobai owed allegiance to the Heavenly Sovereign lineage, which he publicly acknowledged.
Suddenly, realization dawned on the dragon, wide-eyed. "No… I understand now. The Taixu True King is hunting for you!"
Chen Mobai’s eyes narrowed, his voice turning frigid: "You have said far too much."
He gestured with his sword-finger, and his Second Primeval Spirit drove the Primordial Yang Sword down.
Roar! The old Flood Dragon unleashed a desperate Sound Wave attack, launching a golden scale from its brow to intercept the strike.
But with a clenched fist, Chen Mobai unleashed silver light, instantly freezing the dragon in space.
Another Taixu Secret Skill!
For one breath, the old Flood Dragon stood like a statue. It was a short window, yet it was all Chen Mobai needed.
The Primordial Yang Sword easily bypassed the floating scale, executing the power of One Sword Breaks All Laws to pierce the center of the dragon’s brow.
In the blink of an eye, the dragon’s Fifth Rank Peak body shattered the Void Lock, but it was too late—the Sword of Saintly Virtue had already entered its Sea of Knowledge, pinning the massive creature to the earth through its own jaw, sealing its fate forever.
