Chapter 76: The Second Martial Talisman
Flames burned the heavens and the earth as the Fire Dragon burst forth, its massive body coiling like a undulating mountain range in midair.
Everyone was shocked; no one had expected that this land's "Fire Dragon" would actually be an Eastern Divine Dragon.
The Eastern Divine Dragon Clan was essentially part of the Water Element Dragon Clan, born with the innate ability to create clouds and rain.
It was rare to hear of a Fire Attribute Eastern Divine Dragon; even the Fire Kirin speculated that the giant dragon hidden deep within Fire Dragon Ridge was likely a Western Series Fire Dragon, but they were wrong—it turned out to be an Eastern Series Eastern Divine Dragon.
The three powerful practitioners shielded themselves with mana, the flames unable to harm them in the slightest!
Seeing that it was an Eastern Divine Dragon, instead of showing any fear, they grew even more excited.
Among the Western Dragon Clan, only the bloodline of the most powerful royal family could compare to the Eastern Divine Dragon Clan, and the rest of the dragon clans were far inferior, not even in the same league.
The value of this Fire Dragon was enormous; it simply couldn't be compared to any Western series dragon.
"I've got it; this must be the evolution of that legendary giant snake," a cultivator said.
His words drew the attention of many.
"Evolution of a giant snake?" Some people looked at the cultivator with confusion.
"It's rumored that deep within Fire Dragon Ridge, there dwells an ancient Great Demon, the king of all demons, ruling over the myriad beasts of Fire Dragon Ridge. Some have claimed to have seen a giant snake slithering deep within Fire Dragon Ridge, hence the rumor that the Demon Emperor hidden deep within is actually an Evil Snake. Of course, all of this happened thousands of years ago. The tale has been passed down by the elders in Fire Dragon Town, and now it seems to be true. A thousand years to transform into a Jiao, ten thousand years into a dragon; this Fire Dragon must be the evolved form of the Demon Emperor giant snake that was seen thousands of years ago," explained the cultivator.
Many sucked in a breath of cold air—the past they had never considered now seemed all too real.
But what this cultivator said was indeed quite possible.
Because Eastern Divine Dragons generally mastered the "Water Divine Ability."
And yet this Eastern Divine Dragon, controlled the Fire Divine Ability.
It was a Fire Dragon, which made it hard to explain how there came to be a Fire Attribute Eastern Divine Dragon.
But if this Eastern Divine Dragon had not previously been an Eastern Divine Dragon but a Flame Giant Snake instead? Evolving step by step into an Eastern Divine Dragon—then that would make sense.
"Boom..."!!
Above the Nine Heavens, a great battle erupted.
The Fire Dragon exhibited its might, spewing out a sky full of Dragon Breath, attacking the three great practitioners.
The three great practitioners also made their move; as Great Divine Ability Cultivators, their strength was unimaginable, far beyond the influence of any martial artist, almost godlike.
Yuwen Kong waved his hand above the Nine Heavens, divine light surged, followed by the thunderous roars.
Stars fell from the sky, bombarding the Fire Dragon.
Hua Hongyan swung her jade hand, and countless flower petals fell from the sky.
One flower, one world; one tree, one path to enlightenment!
Each petal seemed to be a whole world unto itself. The petals rained down with the intent of burying the Fire Dragon within them.
Zhangsun Feng conjured up rays of light that could extinguish worlds, sweeping forward to strike the Fire Dragon.
Boom...
Four terrifying beings collided fiercely, piercing through heaven and earth, causing mountains to collapse and crumble.
Many cultivators nearby met with disaster, directly annihilated by the residual energy waves that diffused out.
"Quick, leave this place!"
Many shouted in horror, who would dare to stay?
It was truly terrifying, like the end of the world.
Shadowy figures scrambled away in utter disarray toward the distance.
An energy wave flew towards the peak where Lin Feng and dozens of others were standing, bearing down on them.
"Move quickly." The crowd hastily dodged, Lin Feng and the others quickly left the peak, and the next moment, the entire mountain was crushed to dust by the unleashed energy wave.
"My God, isn't this too terrifying?"
Lin Feng and the others felt their scalps tingle, what level of battle was this?
"Fight well! This is so exciting!" A familiar voice rang out from not too far away, Lin Feng looked over and saw Long Yuxi.
She was indeed unharmed and recuperating well, her eyes filled with excitement as she watched the great battle in the sky.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes, while others were frantically fleeing for their lives, there you were, jumping and shouting, cheering on.
Lin Feng couldn't be bothered with Long Yuxi anymore and swept towards the distance, but at that moment, Lin Feng noticed that the Green Stone Martial Talisman inside the Spirit Ring was emitting waves of energy, weak but undeniably there.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, the first Green Stone Martial Talisman only emitted such waves when it sensed the presence of a second talisman—could it be that the second talisman was nearby?
Lin Feng took out the first Green Stone Martial Talisman, and as soon as he took it out from the Spirit Ring, its energy waves grew stronger.
"It's deeper in," Lin Feng looked towards the depths of the Fire Dragon's lair.
"Swipe!" He unfolded his Golden Body feathered wings and swiftly swept towards the depths.
Boom, boom, boom...
High above, the battle was extremely fierce, rocks flew through the sky, divine skills collided, and energy waves fell down.
Lin Feng awkwardly dodged the falling energy waves; he had seen their terror before, although only "residual waves" from the collision of the four terrifying beings, they instantly crushed a mountain to smithereens.
Such an attack was incredibly fierce.
If hit, almost certainly one would meet with certain death, but luckily Lin Feng managed to dash into the depths of the volcano unharmed, below lay rolling magma, Lin Feng spotted a cave, which must have been the Fire Dragon's cave, and the Green Stone Martial Talisman's sensation grew even stronger, Lin Feng charged into the cave.
Swish!! Suddenly, everything in front of him seemed to brighten, only to see a hoard of treasures piling up like a mountain within the cave, dense piles of Gold Coins, magical treasures, and so on. The mythical stories had recorded that the Dragon Clan had the habit of collecting treasures; now it seemed to be true. Lin Feng saw a few magical treasures emanating astounding waves of spiritual energy, even surpassing the "Peak Spiritual Artifacts" he had seen, which made Lin Feng take a cold breath. Could these be the legendary "treasures"? Just one of these could purchase ten ancient cities, and there were at least twenty pieces inside the cave.
"I'll come back for you after I find the Green Stone Martial Talisman," Lin Feng rushed deeper into the cave.
Among a pile of Gold Coins, Lin Feng saw the second Martial Talisman, joy appeared on his face, and he rushed over to collect it. This place was not safe to stay for long, Lin Feng flew quickly back out, intending to collect those priceless treasures, but as soon as he flew out from the depths of the cave, he was attacked. Someone was hiding in the shadows and launched an attack on Lin Feng, a flicker of cold light aiming straight for his chest, intending to skewer him in midair.
