Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Showdown of Dragon Might
Emperor Wuji’s body moved swiftly, a fierce wind howling through the air, his blade striking invisibly. With each strike, the blue dragon shadows in the sky weakened, becoming as thin as paper, on the verge of destruction.
Boom!
Among the strong Human Race warriors, an old man in gray robes unleashed a black mark with a howl, the air exploding in quick succession, instantly shattering one of the blue dragon shadows. Flames burst forth, igniting a fierce blaze on the ground.
At this moment, the space fell silent. Only Emperor Wuji continued battling the two remaining blue dragon shadows. Everyone exchanged wary glances; this was a crucial moment, and no one wanted any unexpected incidents.
Boom!
The aura around Emperor Wuji suddenly erupted. With a horizontal slash, the surrounding space seemed to become a purgatory, the blade light swirling and vanquishing the remaining blue dragon shadows in an instant.
"Hahaha, this Dragon Bone is mine."
As the blue dragon shadows were annihilated, a green figure burst out from the Human Race warriors, moving at extreme speed. The white platform was only a thousand meters away from the crowd, and the green figure reached the Dragon Bone almost instantly.
Both the Human Race and Demon Beast warriors were instantly enraged. They had expended great effort, and at this critical moment, how could they allow someone else to snatch the prize?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Colorful Martial Techniques transformed into a mighty torrent, piercing through the space, its power shaking the heavens as it shot towards the green figure from the space nodes.
Bam!
"Ah!"
A tragic scream echoed, flesh and blood scattered in the air. Without any warning, the green figure’s body shattered, splattering blood on the white platform, leaving numerous bloodstains. Everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.
Boom!
The colorful torrent of Martial Techniques struck the white platform, stirring up specks of dust. However, the platform, made of some unknown material, remained unscathed, not even leaving a scratch.
Chu Ming squinted his eyes. With his Soul Power, he could clearly tell that the green figure was not killed by the torrent of Martial Techniques but mysteriously shattered on the white platform.
Of course, Chu Ming wasn’t the only one to realize this. He glanced at Emperor Wuji, who stood there arrogantly, staring at everyone with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
At this moment, the Single-horned Cyan Bull from the Demon Beast side stepped forward, looking at Emperor Wuji and asking, "What’s going on here?"
Initially, it was Emperor Wuji who mentioned the Nine Dragon Prison Array. He didn’t believe Emperor Wuji was unaware of these details.
"Hehe, how could such a treasure as the Dragon Bone be so easily obtained? The Dragon Bone constantly emits vast dragon aura, and an ordinary Martial Artist would likely explode instantly upon being imbued with it."
Emperor Wuji’s gaze swept over the crowd, sending a chill from their feet to their heads, secretly shocking them with Emperor Wuji’s formidable combat prowess.
"How can we withstand this dragon aura?"
The Single-horned Cyan Bull’s expression grew serious. Demon Beasts were at a greater disadvantage in the face of dragon aura compared to Human Race warriors. After all, dragons were originally a type of Demon Beast, and their sensitivity to dragon aura was particularly strong. Even he had to bow down before it.
"Want to withstand dragon aura?"
Emperor Wuji smiled lightly, and everyone’s gaze instantly focused on him, eagerly awaiting his answer.
"To withstand dragon aura, one must be imbued with dragon energy. When the two merge, the oppressive power of the dragon aura will be infinitely reduced."
As soon as Emperor Wuji finished speaking, both Demon Beasts and Human Race warriors fell into contemplation. Dragons were already elusive, and objects imbued with dragon energy were even more precious, almost legendary in the outside world.
"It’s the blue dragon shadows from earlier!!"
A Martial Artist’s face showed a thoughtful expression before he exclaimed loudly.
Everyone’s bodies trembled slightly, and after a bit of thought, they understood. Those blue dragon shadows were clearly the Array Spirits of the Nine Dragon Prison Array, likely having been with the Dragon Bone for hundreds of thousands of years. If they hadn’t absorbed some dragon energy, they wouldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death.
"So only those who killed the blue dragon shadows just now, whether human or beast, can approach the Dragon Bone?"
The Single-horned Cyan Bull’s face showed a hint of joy. He had also slain a blue dragon shadow earlier, meaning he had absorbed quite a bit of dragon energy.
"That’s right!"
Emperor Wuji nodded calmly, and his body suddenly rushed towards the white platform below. At the same time, five other figures also moved, two human shadows and three Demon Beasts.
Out of the nine blue dragon shadows, Emperor Wuji alone had killed four, his body imbued with the most dragon energy. Of the remaining five, one had fallen to Chu Ming, one was shattered by the old man in gray robes, and the other three were slain by the Single-horned Cyan Bull, the Two-winged Thunderbird, and the Colossal Sky Monkey.
Among the two human shadows, one was naturally Chu Ming, while the other was an old man in gray robes with a sinister expression, his sleeves billowing as he stared at Chu Ming with a malicious grin.
Swoosh!
As Emperor Wuji landed on the white platform, he slowed his pace, his face slightly tense. Taking a deep breath, he began to walk forward slowly. Each step seemed as if he was under immense pressure.
Boom!
Two humans and three beasts landed on the white platform, causing countless wind waves. Their bodies trembled lightly, and after a moment of settling down, they slowly recovered. The immense and terrifying pressure, centered on the Dragon Bone not far away, spread outward in waves.
"Is this the dragon aura?"
Chu Ming muttered to himself. In his line of sight, he seemed to see a raging giant dragon roaring skyward, countless stars and moons fading. Yet, that dragon’s roar seemed eternal, and as the dragon’s eyes closed, Chu Ming’s mind trembled, a terrifying pressure bearing down on him.
"Hmph!"
The old man in gray robes wasn’t faring well either, drops of sweat falling from his forehead. He gritted his teeth silently in persistence, while the three Demon Beasts felt the dragon aura even more intensely due to their Demon Beast nature.
The one having the easiest time was Emperor Wuji. Having slain four blue dragon shadows, he was imbued with the most dragon energy, experiencing the least pressure from the dragon aura.
"This is infuriating us!"
Many Martial Artists who had held back earlier showed regretful expressions, watching as the three humans and three beasts gradually approached the Dragon Bone, their hearts bleeding.
However, several powerful Martial Artists, confident in their own abilities, smirked coldly and waited silently on one side.
Emperor Wuji’s face was resolute, sweat dripping from his forehead. He was only a hundred meters away from the Dragon Bone. Normally, this would be a mere blink of an eye, but now, it seemed as difficult as scaling the heavens.
Tat-tat-tat...
The crisp sound of footsteps seemed to resonate deeply, shaking one’s soul.
