Chapter 579: Chapter 564 Dragon King, Gold Devouring Ant_3
One must grovel when one’s strength and status are inferior.
“Very good!”
Huoyun Ancestor was delighted, a hint of red glow appearing on his face.
Just then, a bronze coffin flew straight out from the cliff face, and without a word, it suppressed Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch underneath it.
“Ancestor, save me!”
Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, having lost his Innate True Fire and greatly weakened, now had no power to resist the copper coffin.
Upon hearing the plea, Huoyun Ancestor acted as if facing a great enemy, showing no intention to save him immediately.
Despite leading a rebellion and storming the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect with audacious courage, the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Venerable had ruled this region for many years and had accumulated deep awe. Like the human name cast by the tree’s shadow, the Hundred-Tempering Child had slain countless powerful foes during the founding war of the sect, including an Earth Immortal.
Therefore, it wasn’t hard to understand the trepidation within Huoyun Ancestor’s heart.
However, it was said that during that battle, although Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch had advanced to the Earth Immortal realm, his combat strength was low due to cultivating a Life-Nurturing Technique unsuited for battle, and his ultimate fate had always been a mystery.
Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch was firmly suppressed under the copper coffin, slowly collapsing, completely unable to move.
From within the coffin spurted strands of dark qi, tangible and seemingly sentient, which wrapped around Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch beneath it, ceaselessly assimilating him.
Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, on the other hand, let out pitiful screams filled with terror.
The rebels of Fire Cloud Tunnel stood as if facing a formidable enemy, many with faces filled with shock, adopting defensive stances while also stealthily retreating.
“Hmph, playing tricks!”
Huoyun Ancestor snorted heavily, once again casting the Fire Serpent Technique he was so proud of.
A giant serpent-shaped fire snake shot out and coiled itself around the copper coffin.
In the blink of an eye, the coffin was glowing red hot.
The terrifying dark qi was burned away, revealing Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s form once more. Only now, his complexion was ashen, a sign of severe vitality loss.
“Ho-ho-ho… such a trifling Fire Serpent Technique, it’s nothing special!”
A shrill, mocking laugh came from inside the coffin, which suddenly flew up and then headed straight for the distant snowy mountain.
Along the way, it didn’t forget to attack the rebelling Fire Cloud Tunnel powerhouses.
A few who couldn’t dodge in time were bound by the black qi shooting from inside the coffin and each let out screams of agony before writhing on the ground.
“Hundred-Tempering child, where will you flee? Today is the day you die.”
Huoyun Ancestor, seemingly having gauged the true strength of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Venerable and confirming his opponent’s inferiority, became bolder.
He struck out once more, to no avail, as the copper coffin was already flying away quickly.
Huoyun Ancestor formed a cloud of fire beneath his feet and swiftly pursued the copper coffin.
In the blink of an eye, the chase led them to the foot of the snowy mountain. Huoyun Ancestor, more anxious than ever, gave chase without hesitation.
The moment he entered the snowy mountain, the entire mountain seemed to come alive instantaneously, moving as a whole.
It was like a giant beast, consuming Huoyun Ancestor in one bite.
“Shameless! Using a natural magic array to scheme against me!”
Huoyun Ancestor found his Fire-based Magic suppressed, unable to exert even half of its power. His expression changed drastically as he realized he was in a dire situation and immediately sought to fight his way out.
But once the snowy mountain ‘awakened’, it turned into a terrifying monster, with ice and snow transforming into sharp arrows shot at Huoyun Ancestor. They were endless, and as long as Huoyun Ancestor couldn’t escape, even his profound mana would be drained here.
Realizing that the situation was grim, Huoyun Ancestor began to panic.
Despite being an Earth Immortal, a top existence in this world, he still faced the risk of falling.
If his rebellion failed and he ended up sacrificing himself in the process, that really wouldn’t be worth it.
Huoyun Ancestor turned into a blaze, charging from left to right, still unable to break through. In a decisive move, he used his last resort. He brought out a fire banner and hid himself inside it before charging outward.
The snowy mountain was not to be underestimated, with ice giants resurrecting one by one from the ground to block the fire banner.
The battle between the two sides was indiscernible.
But now, with the situation shifting, it was Huoyun Ancestor who became anxious.
If he couldn’t break through, he would surely fall here today.
“Fellow Daoists, I beseech your aid!”
Huoyun Ancestor, seeing that he could not break out, shouted towards the void.
Suddenly, the upper right space fluctuated and then a Flood Dragon clad in Golden Armor appeared. To be more precise, it should be called a Flood Dragon.
For on its head were two antlers, its eyes burned like two flames, it had claws on both sides of its abdomen, and its tail was more fish-like and broad than a snake’s.
Such an odd figure made it difficult to classify it as a python.
“Ao!”
It bowed its head toward the space below, emitting a deep Dragon Chant.
The terrifying sonorous waves swept over the ground like a heavy bomb. Ice giants within the range of the noise shattered one after another, turning into piles of broken ice scattered on the ground. Fragments weighing hundreds of pounds were lifted by the sonorous waves seven or eight meters into the air before crashing down heavily.
“I did not expect the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect to join the fray as well, truly considering our Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect highly!”
Haosnow Immortal Monarch, hidden within the snowy mountain, murmured to himself.
“Master, is that a Flood Dragon?”
Qin Niu also stood behind Haosnow Immortal Monarch, looking unscathed and much stronger in strength.
As for the extreme cold of the snowy mountain, it did not affect him at all, for he had the Ice Lotus Platform to protect him from all extreme cold.
