Chapter 508 - 505: Qi Fortune as Kindling; Fate Transforms into Nothingness
In an instant, the White Dragon, Qingluan, and Ghost-Faced Spider each unleashed flames of different power attributes, attacking the three Evil Dragons.
The White Dragon’s Holy Flame contained purifying power, allowing no trace of filth; Qingluan’s Pure Yang Fire held the positive energy of heaven and earth, restraining Yin and evil creatures; the Ghost-Faced Spider’s Soul Burning Demon Flame specialized in wounding the soul, and was exceedingly strange.
Each of the three had their own unique characteristics. Although they all appeared to be Spiritual Beasts adept at flame attacks, their power attributes were actually entirely distinct.
Nevertheless, the three Evil Dragons, though caught off guard, were fearless.
As sovereigns of the Mist Country, accustomed to rampant behavior, even if placed among all races of the Three Realms and Nine Nations, they were among the formidable existences—not only comparable to the Demigod Race group’s Elves and Dwarfs but also not much inferior to the powerful Giant Clan.
Their only disadvantage compared to the Giant Clan was their small numbers, leading to an overall strength that was far from comparable. However, when it came to individual combat power, who was stronger or weaker could only be determined by actual combat.
The cold weather of the Mist Country was also why not many beings wished to venture here.
Even the Frost Giants, who were proficient in using the power of Cold Ice, stayed obediently in Midgard Jotunheim, preferring to live with the Mountain Giants rather than compete with the Evil Dragons for territory in the Mist Country.
This was not only because both sides had a common goal, but also because the strength of the Evil Dragons was immensely powerful—especially Nidhogg, unrivaled in might. Even when the King of All Gods, Odin, had descended personally, he had not been able to defeat that strong black Evil Dragon in this cold domain.
Now these foreign Monsters not only invaded their territory but even dared to launch an offensive against them—how could these Evil Dragons tolerate such provocation!
Thus, they howled and began to counterattack, attempting to overcome their opponents with overwhelming power and assert the majesty of the Evil Dragon race.
Huff…
One of the Evil Dragons opened its mouth and exhaled a freezing wind. This blizzard roared past, unexpectedly dispersing the White Dragon’s Dragon Breath and blowing towards it.
Within this freezing wind were not only bitter cold air but also threads of Wind Blades capable of slicing everything. Ordinary Monsters, once touched by such freezing wind, would be instantly chopped into minced meat on the ground.
Another Evil Dragon opened its mouth and shot out a stream of water toward Qingluan, attempting to extinguish Qingluan’s Pure Yang Flame!
This water stream was clear and transparent, seemingly ordinary, but carried a corrosive, sweet stench as if it could corrode all things. Wherever it passed, whether glaciers or flames, they were assimilated into the water and vanished.
Lastly, an Evil Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a blast of cold air, bringing an ice-sealing chill. Even the fog in the Void began making crackling sounds, as it was frozen into ice particles and collectively hurled at the Ghost-Faced Spider.
Behind them, Qin Feng watched the power of these Evil Dragons’ counterattacks with his eyes lighting up, he couldn’t help but admire their strength.
Indeed, they were worthy of being one of the top-level powerful races of this high-ranking world. Not to mention anything else, just the might of the Spells unleashed by these few Evil Dragons was enough to reveal their extraordinariness.
However, the Spiritual Beasts under his command were no easy targets either.
The Evil Dragons, having grown accustomed to ruling the Mist Country for countless years, faced little danger here, which made them not only arrogant but also their battle experience was not particularly abundant.
After all, their daily routine consisted of gnawing on the roots of the World Tree and occasionally hunting a few Monsters that could survive in this frigid land, as well as powerful Undead from the Undead Realm.
Beyond this, they rarely encountered battles.
The Spiritual Beasts under Qin Feng’s command were different, especially in the years since they had joined Qin Feng. Although their Cultivation had improved rapidly, they had also seen no small number of battles, faced opponents with various power systems, and in terms of fighting experience, were far stronger than those Evil Dragons living in such superior conditions.
Moreover, the White Dragon’s strength was not inferior to those of the several Evil Dragons.
Even the Qingluan, who had just advanced, also held its ground due to its powerful bloodline inheritance and the Pure Yang Power Attribute!
The three Spiritual Beasts each displayed their Divine Skills, dodging or attacking forcefully. For a time, they fought the three Evil Dragons to a standstill, neither side able to gain the upper hand!
Behind them, the Death Curse Crow cawed twice, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately decided not to shed any feathers from its body.
Now that it had advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm, the number of feathers on its body was limited. Although they could slowly regrow after falling off, the higher the Cultivation, the stronger the Curse Power, and the higher the quality required of the feathers, making their growth increasingly slow.
It couldn’t be like the Soul Devouring Vine Demon, which could immediately grow its vines back after being cut and continue to fight. Its feathers needed a long period of nurturing to become a medium for casting curses, as they had to contain certain unique powers.
The Death Curse Crow did not want to become a plucked bird. Moreover, since it was sure that their side was going to win the current battle, there was no need to use its own feathers as a medium to cast powerful curses. It was fine just staying in the back and providing support.
Thus the sly crow started casting a series of minor curses, such as Toothache Curse, Headache Curse, Annoying Spell, and Sleeping Curse.
These small curses didn’t consume much power, and with the Curse Principle it now controlled, it could easily cast them.
Then, the Evil Dragons suddenly felt a toothache while fighting, followed by dizziness, blurred vision, chest pain, nausea, irritability, drowsiness, and a range of other adverse reactions.
At first, they paid no attention, thinking they had hurt their teeth gnawing at the World Tree Root, but as a series of adverse reactions followed, they immediately sensed something was wrong.
Even with their formidable bodies, these small curses were trivial, but the sudden onslaught of many at once still considerably lowered their condition.
Then their gaze turned toward the Death Curse Crow in the rear.
The Evil Dragon race, being extraordinary beings by nature, inherently strong and fierce, intuitively felt that something was off about this ominously black crow exuding an aura of misfortune.
Especially after each harsh and unpleasant cry from the crow, they would experience an adverse reaction—how could they not realize this crow was playing tricks!
The three Evil Dragons were instantly enraged.
After all, no creature liked to be cursed by others for no reason, especially during battle. Even if the curses were weak, they could affect their bodies and combat will, and what’s more, they felt incredibly frustrated!
So the three Evil Dragons wanted to break past the Spiritual Beasts to pounce on the Death Curse Crow, wishing they could bite this detestable creature to death, as it only knew how to launch hidden attacks from the back.
However, the White Dragon and Qingluan were exceptionally strong, and with the support of the Death Curse Crow, the battle became even easier for them, putting them in an advantageous position. There was no way they would let the dragons get through.
In the rear, Qin Feng watched quietly for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the Death Curse Crow.
This fella was truly a treasure!
Not to mention anything else, these weird curses alone were the best support team members to reduce the enemy’s combat effectiveness. It was just a pity it didn’t know any enhancing or blessing spells; that would have made it even more perfect.
However, Qin Feng wasn’t going to ask too much of it. The Death Curse Crow was inherently gifted with Curse Divine Power, and to have it learn blessing spells would be asking the impossible.
Qin Feng wouldn’t specifically look for a Spiritual Bird with blessing spell abilities to fuse with the Death Curse Crow. For one thing, Beast Clan crows generally didn’t have that kind of talent, and for another, he didn’t want such Divine Skills to affect the crow’s innate talent for cursing. For this crow, cursing was its best path of Cultivation.
Moreover, aside from Curse Divine Power, this guy was not ignorant of other tactics.
Leaving other matters aside, just the fusion of the Golden Crow and the Golden-Eyed Fire Crow alone had birthed a force of Flame Power within the Death Curse Crow.
It wasn’t the Sun True Fire that Qin Feng had long anticipated, but an eerie kind of flame capable of weakening an opponent’s Qi Fortune and destiny.
This flame was even more bizarre than the Soul Burning Demon Flame of the Ghost-Faced Spider; once it contaminated someone, it would use the invisible Qi Fortune of the victim as fuel, causing the fire to burn ever more fiercely. If not extinguished promptly, the person’s life and fortune could be completely consumed, leaving them so unlucky they would literally step in dog poop when walking, or choke even on a sip of cold water.
Even while lying low within their own Cave Mansion, they could experience an earthquake, leading to the collapse of a mountain and their unfortunate demise beneath it.
Such a strange flame, even Qin Feng felt a chill in his heart at the sight of it, not daring to make contact.
Seeing that the battle between the Spiritual Beasts and the Evil Dragon was locked in a stalemate, with no victor emerging in the short term, Qin Feng didn’t join the fray. Instead, he left the Soul Devouring Vine Demon nearby to protect the Death Curse Crow while he himself employed the Water Escape Divine Power, transforming into a stream almost imperceptible to the eye, and headed stealthily toward the bottom of the glacier valley.
Although the Death Curse Crow had tricky methods, its combat strength for head-on battles was not strong. Even after advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm and acquiring the Flame Divine Power, these flames were not suitable for direct engagement. Thus, leaving the Soul Devouring Vine Demon to guard the crow was to err on the side of caution, to prevent the precious bird from being wounded by the Evil Dragon.
The water stream that was Qin Feng passed through the battlefield silently and arrived beneath the glacier.
Revealing his form, he patted the section of the tree root that was about four feet in diameter and more than thirty feet in length. Feeling the toughness of the root and the Wood Element power within, Qin Feng couldn’t help but sigh quietly.
It was just a single root of the World Tree, yet so formidable; one could hardly imagine how colossal the trunk upholding three worlds must be.
The Great Thousand Universe is indeed full of wonders, capable of creating even such Divine Trees. One can only wonder how many more mysterious and magnificent creations lie deep within the vast expanses of the cosmos.
At this moment, the thought actually arose in Qin Feng’s heart—the universe was so vast, he wanted to see it!
Of course, it was just a passing thought, quickly suppressed by the reality of his situation.
His Cultivation was too low.
To traverse the Cosmic Void, one must at least attain the Longevity Immortal Dao, for cultivators of that Realm have a certain ability to protect themselves against the Void Storms and not be blown away into nothingness by the cosmic winds.
However, only those with the power above the Immortal Realm really have the freedom to come and go in the Cosmic Void, often spending years exploring unknown Star Domains in search of opportunities to Breakthrough.
Common Immortals and Divine Demons venturing into the Void for extended periods inevitably face various dangers, so the vast majority of Immortals and Divine Demons cultivate within worlds; only those Great Powers who find progress arduous possess the strength to not fear the crises of the void, roaming the universe’s vast Star Domains, seeking chances for their Breakthrough!
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Qin Feng reached out to grab the World Tree root, preparing to pocket this recently severed section to possibly bring back and have an Artifact Refining master craft it into some kind of Treasure.
However, the three Evil Dragons above, which hadn’t noticed him before, caught sight of the newcomer below, and realizing he was attempting to steal their “lunch,” they became infuriated. One of the Evil Dragons sprayed out a stream of Poison Water from its maw, attempting to dissolve Qin Feng into nothingness.
Naturally, such a standard attack couldn’t harm Qin Feng. With one hand on the World Tree root, he retreated a hundred feet back with a step, avoiding the stream of poison, and then brazenly pocketed the World Tree root.
“Roar…”
From above, the Evil Dragon roared in fury. Suddenly, one of the dragons thrashed its tail, dispersing Qingluan’s flames by force of its formidable body and turned around, wings extending, and hurtled down towards Qin Feng.
“Cheep…”
Qingluan gave a clear chirp, ready to intercept the Evil Dragon, preventing it from disrupting its master’s plans. However, it saw Qin Feng wave at it, sending a Divine Thought message, signalling there was no need to come down and that it should go help the Ghost-Faced Spider instead.
Seeing this, Qingluan immediately complied.
After all, her master’s strength was formidable, and even though she had ascended to the Purple Mansion Realm, she didn’t believe she could surpass her master.
Thus, her figure turned, and her slender and beautiful body traced a graceful curve in the void, pouncing toward the Evil Dragon that was dueling with the Ghost-Faced Spider.
As long as she could entangle the Evil Dragon for a moment, the Ghost-Faced Spider could continuously spit out webs, wrapping the Evil Dragon within, making it their prisoner of war, to be offered to their great master!
That’s right, in Qingluan’s heart, Qin Feng was the greatest being in the world because without Qin Feng, she wouldn’t have the life she had today.
Back when she was just a Foundation Establishment Realm Green Bird, she had already sensed the existence of bloodline shackles. If she couldn’t break through that barrier, she might not even be able to form her Demon Core, let alone reach the Purple Mansion Realm.
Because Qin Feng had created her, even without the prohibitions of the Demon Refining Pot she would remain utterly loyal to Qin Feng. Thus, the heart of this Divine Bird was wholly devoted to its master.
Knowing her master’s purpose in coming here, she wanted to help her master capture an Evil Dragon. Now, working in conjunction with the Ghost-Faced Spider, she believed they could quickly subdue the Evil Dragon, already annoyed by the Death Curse Crow.
On the other side, Qin Feng watched as the ferocious Evil Dragon, with a mouth full of sharp fangs, roared and charged down at him, apparently intending to swallow him whole.
He didn’t dodge or retreat; instead, his figure expanded suddenly, transforming into a giant several zhang tall.
The Evil Dragon, which was diving toward the seemingly insignificant human below, suddenly froze, “A giant?”
Although it quickly adjusted its body, the sudden transformation of Qin Feng into a giant caught it off guard. The originally gaping mouth hastily closed to avoid a potential crash.
Though it didn’t know how Qin Feng had suddenly become a giant, a creature of such immense size was not something it could swallow in one bite. The Evil Dragon hastily flapped its wings to twist its body around, intending to fly back up and change to another combat tactic.
But before its wings could begin to flap, it suddenly felt an immense weight upon it, its body suddenly becoming more than ten times heavier.
The Evil Dragon, affected by the Gravity Divine Power, stiffened in motion. Before it could react, Qin Feng’s foot stomped down on its back, and his hands grasped the two wings behind him.
Feeling the mountainous weight and the overwhelming force on its back, the Evil Dragon was consumed by rage. It had been stepped on, an immense humiliation for the creature.
Thus, the Evil Dragon let out an angry roar that traveled hundreds of miles, shaking the surrounding mountain peaks and causing widespread avalanches.
Then it twisted its long neck, intending to turn its head and bite the one who dared stand on its back.
But as soon as it turned its head, it froze.
Behind Qin Feng, nine equally fearsome and massive dragon heads had suddenly emerged, each one fearsome and imposing, surrounding its own head. Nine maws slightly agape, eighteen golden eyes fixated relentlessly on it. The Evil Dragon felt a chill down its spine and was completely dumbfounded on the spot.
What kind of monster was this, with so many heads?
No, wasn’t this fellow a giant? How did it grow dragon heads similar to an Evil Dragon?
For a moment, the Evil Dragon was utterly baffled.
However, its body acted instinctively. Surrounded by the nine massive heads of the Ruyi Golden Snake, it dared not make a single move, fearing that this nine-headed monstrosity would devour it!
