Chapter 1145: Chapter 1142: Evil Dragon (Part 1)

“That lightning, it should be the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array laid down by Floating Mountain,” Ji Ziqing said in a low voice, her face pale.

She had just caught a familiar scent within that flash of lightning.

She was well-versed in the numerous scriptures of Floating Mountain and understood the various arrays within them.

Among these arrays, Floating Mountain possesses an extremely terrifying ancient array known as the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array.

The lightning just now seemed like the power unleashed by the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array.

At that moment, Ji Ziqing gradually came to a realization.

This place, in addition to the invisible barrier outside, also has an ancient array seal.

These forces are intended to block that enormous black shadow.

Usually, when viewed from outside, it always seemed like this place was enveloped in thunderclouds. Today, the reason is finally understood.

Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array.

Once set up, it constantly draws Divine Thunder from heaven and earth, gathering it within.

When the array is activated, it will unleash lightning as terrifying as a Heavenly Tribulation.

“The road ahead will be difficult, everyone be careful,” Ye Xuan, flying at the forefront, said calmly and softly.

This message was not only addressed to Zhou Youwei and Ji Ziqing, but also to Qiao Xinyu and Yun Daoli.

“Yes!”

The two, their hearts suddenly tightening, knew they might face something terrifying ahead, and immediately steeled themselves.

BOOM!

At that moment, another terrifying flash of lightning descended.

The speed was so fast that there was no time to react.

Qiao Xinyu’s face sank slightly and instinctively reached for her blade.

However, Ye Xuan had already acted first.

Err.

Not acted.

But directly charged toward the lightning!

His entire being greeted it head-on.

That scene left everyone stunned, their jaws dropping.

What the hell is this?!

Ji Ziqing and Zhu Xiuxiu were both completely shocked.

But Zhou Youwei wasn’t worried in the slightest.

Because…

She had personally witnessed her husband confronting Heavenly Tribulations head-on!

And it was the most terrifying Ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulations.

BOOM!

Ye Xuan, like a wild beast, rushed toward that terrifying bolt of lightning.

The two engaged in a primal collision!

As Ye Xuan crashed into the lightning, his speed slowed briefly, but soon after, his three Immortal Bodies along with his Taoist Body fully unleashed, suppressing the lightning and charging headlong into it.

The scene was indescribably breathtaking.

Qiao Xinyu and Yun Daoli, witnessing this, couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement.

The difficulty of the lightning was obvious to them at a glance.

Even someone as powerful as Qiankun Ancestor would resort to using the Universe in the Sleeve to trap it temporarily, then resolve it slowly.

Ye Xuan’s direct and violent approach was indeed shocking.

Everyone followed closely behind Ye Xuan, rushing toward the heights.

As Su Zi and the group advanced, the darkness on the Sky Dome appeared to grow even darker, with lightning occasionally flashing, sometimes striking down.

However, those from the Ji Family of Floating Mountain, having entered this area, were unaffected, possessing a certain Divine Talisman that could evade the power of the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array.

It seems they noticed something amiss and chose to prepare their countermeasures against the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array ahead of time.

BOOM!

As the group continued to advance, a terrifying sound emanated from deep within the darkness, echoing throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, shaking the firmament.

Everyone was shocked by the tremendous sound, feeling as if they were about to be torn apart!

“What power is this…”

At this moment, Zhu Xiuxiu felt a shiver in her heart.

Everyone could sense that the enormous black shadow deep within the thunderclouds likely held power beyond the Supreme Realm.

Such an existence, who could withstand it?

“As the Guardian God of Daozhou, what exactly are they guarding? Could it be that monster?” Zhu Xiuxiu thought quietly to herself.

BOOM!

Ye Xuan shredded the bolt of lightning, exuding a terrifying fierce aura. He glanced upward, frowning, “That thing has awakened. You should retreat for now, Xinyu and Daoli follow me up.”

“Alright!”

Zhou Youwei realized things were out of control, and if they continued forward, they might face disaster.

At that time, they would only drag Ye Xuan down, so it was better to retreat for now.

“Youwei, stick close to me,” Ji Ziqing said with a heavy expression.

“What about you?” Zhou Youwei looked at Zhu Xiuxiu.

Zhu Xiuxiu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, choosing to retreat.

That terrible force had already reached a point she could barely withstand, and she wasn’t sure what would happen if she continued upward.

Thus, Zhou Youwei, Ji Ziqing, and Zhu Xiuxiu retreated while Ye Xuan, Qiao Xinyu, and Yun Daoli continued onward.

Later, Qiankun Ancestor caught up and joined Ye Xuan’s group.

On their way back, Zhou Youwei’s group encountered Qi Chengzi again.

Qi Chengzi’s face was very grim, having suffered minor injuries but ultimately remaining unharmed.

Upon his return and noticing Zhou Youwei’s group, his expression turned sour. After inquiring about Ye Xuan’s situation, he found Ye Xuan and others were still flying upward.

Qi Chengzi, now anxious, hurried back toward the depths of the thunderclouds, seeking trouble with Ye Xuan.

At that moment.

Ye Xuan and his group of four had pierced layer upon layer of thunderclouds, reaching deep inside.

They encountered numerous Ji Family “undying” individuals.

Also, many had already died on the spot.

“What exactly is that thing…” Qiao Xinyu couldn’t help but ask softly.

“Evil Dragon.”

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, exhaling a breath of foul air.

“Evil Dragon!?”

The few hearing this all had their pupils shrink.

“It still exists?” Qiankun Ancestor exclaimed.

Evil Dragon, a legendary existence.

Evil Dragons are not true dragons but monsters formed from boundless evil, known as Evil Dragons.

This monster devours all negative power and evils, strengthening itself.

Its growth has no limit.

Once it takes shape, it’s essentially impossible to kill.

“This creature was created due to the Dao Ding,” Ye Xuan said softly.

“Isn’t the Dao Ding one of the Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons that suppresses the fate of Xuanhuang Great World, how could it birth such a monster?” Yun Daoli was slightly surprised.

Ye Xuan slightly shook his head and said, “Fate doesn’t only encompass the good; misfortune is also included. The Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons suppress the fate of Xuanhuang Great World, and also its misfortune.”

“The essence of the Evil Dragon is the condensation of misfortune.”

“In fact, aside from the Ji Family of Floating Mountain, similar monsters have formed across other Eight States, though relatively less troublesome.”

With this, Qiao Xinyu and the group finally understood.

However, there was still one thing Ye Xuan hadn’t mentioned.

The major reason for the Evil Dragon’s awakening was because the Dao Ding had been tainted by his physical body, leading to its revival.

His physical body contained extremely terrifying power, and to the Evil Dragon, this was an unimaginably tempting force.
