In a certain place on the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.
There was no sunrise or sunset here, only an eternal starry night sky.
Bizarre and terrifying spatial mystic realms, brutal and merciless void beasts, all types of treasures that were born from chaos and annihilation... This place had it all. This was the Void Star Section of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, a place filled with infinite hazards but also countless opportunities.
This place was also the main battleground for the Return to Void Stage mighty figures.
Near a gargantuan sacrificial altar, a Sword Immortal in white robes slashed a series of dazzling sword projections before him, all of which were able to create massive trenches in the ground below of close to ten kilometers in length.
Three twisted void spirit bodies let loose sharp screeches as they charged toward the white-robed Sword Immortal.
One of the void spirit bodies had transformed the space within a five-kilometer radius of itself into a viscous sea of blood. All attacks were slowly dispelled as they entered the boundless sea of blood, including the sword projections unleashed by the Sword Immortal.
Another void spirit body wielded lightning of destruction, and the lightning it unleashed was powerful enough to pierce through space itself as well as annihilate everything in its path.
The final void spirit body appeared and disappeared in and out of existence as if it were a part of nothingness. However, extremely fearsome killing intent radiated off its body, and it was the most lethal of three void spirit bodies present.
"Kuku... Lü Dongbin, you won't be able to escape! How fortunate I am to not only be able to devour a soul as delicious as yours, but I'm also to be able to pry the fragment of the realm core from your cold, dead hands!" The void spirit body standing amid the riling sea of viscous blood let loose a sinister cackle, and it waved its twisted arms in the air as the sea of blood around it transformed into countless huge crimson hands that swept toward Lü Dongbin.
"Hmph, you don't have what it takes to kill me." The longsword in Lü Dongbin's hand split up into nine swords, and all of them instantly flew toward a different direction to form a massive spell formation.
"Ninefold Demon-Vanquishing Sword Formation. Activate!" He roared as countless light swords appeared within the spell formation, creating an impenetrable net that ensnared and shredded all the crimson arms.
Right at this moment, the ground below suddenly tremored violently.
Extremely dazzling light burst forth from the sacrificial altar as boundless power surged into the sacrificial altar from the stars above.
The white pillar of light rose into the air, and a dragon's roar imbued with invincible might reverberated throughout heaven and earth.
Lü Dongbin was the closest to the pillar of light.
His expression shifted drastically as he flew back in retreat.
However, the void spirit bodies clearly weren't going to allow him to do so as the third void spirit body that had hidden away in nothingness suddenly sprang into action. Its body transformed into a black spear that tore through Lü Dongbin's Ninefold Demon-Vanquishing Sword Formation with unstoppable force before continuing on toward Lü Dongbin's chest.
Lü Dongbin had no choice but to take the attack head-on while creating a circular film of light before him with his sword.
At the same time, the crimson sea of hands and the destructive lightning also descended upon him with devastating power.
Boom!
The terrifying explosion of energy reduced the ground within a radius of several kilometers to dust. The film of light before Lü Dongbin collapsed when his body was struck by a devastating force, causing him to fly backward with blood gushing from his mouth. He crashed heavily into the white pillar of light like a cannonball, causing the pillar of light to tremble violently.
"Howl!"
A black dragon close to ten kilometers in length appeared within the pillar of light before unleashing an earth-shattering roar.
It lashed out to break through the pillar of white light around itself, and its fearsome dragon might instantly descended upon this world. Its massive body circled around in the air above as its inky black scales devoured the light of the stars, as if it were trying to plunge everything into darkness.
"Who dares to disrupt my resurrection?"
The huge black dragon in the sky spoke with a voice like rumbling thunder.
Lü Dongbin looked up at the black dragon as all the color drained from his face.
He had seen creatures larger than this dragon, but he had never encountered a creature with an aura as powerful as it, not even in the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas! This was undoubtedly a winged dragon at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage! And it was only a half-step away from Dao Integration Stage!
The three members of the Void Spirit Tribe stood in the distance as they looked at Lü Dongbin with sinister smirks.
It was quite clear now that the purpose of their combined attack was not to kill Lü Dongbin. Instead, they wanted to force him into the winged dragon's resurrection formation so that the winged dragon could take care of Lü Dongbin for them.
They would be able to abduct Lü Dongbin's soul through the use of a mystic technique upon his death for them to devour later on.
"The soul of a first-rate Sword Immortal must be extremely delicious..." The lightning-wielding void spirit body licked its lips with a scorching gaze.
"Oh? Was it you that crashed into my resurrection formation, human?" The dragon stared down at Lü Dongbin with a pair of massive cold eyes as its boundless might swept toward him like the waves of an ocean.
Lü Dongbin gritted his teeth as he scrambled for an excuse.
However, the black dragon continued, "Hehe... I was just killed by a human and now I meet another one..."
Lü Dongbin's heart instantly cooled upon hearing this...
This dragon probably despised all humans now. Who the hell killed the dragon?! Now he would have to face the dragon's wrath in the killer's stead.
Lü Dongbin cursed the human ten thousand times in his heart.
The three mighty figures from the Void Spirit Tribe instantly began cackling upon hearing this.
"Kuku... what a happy coincidence, Lü Dongbin is absolutely screwed now!" The lightning-wielding void spirit body chortled with glee.
"Does that mean he was screwed over by a member of his own race?" The void spirit body commanding the sea of blood also wore a smug smile on his face.
"I'm more interested in knowing which mighty figure was able to kill such a powerful dragon..." The final void spirit body who shuttled in and out of existence mused to itself.
Right at this moment, the black dragon continued to speak as he looked at Lü Dongbin, "So... I'm quite fond of humans like you. It looks like you're being bullied by those three little b*stards from the Void Spirit Tribe; should I take care of them for you?"
Hah?!
The three void spirit bodies instantly stopped laughing as their expressions faltered.
Lü Dongbin was also dumbstruck upon hearing this.
This dragon was killed by a human, so he was fond of humans and wanted to help him?
What the f*ck was this logic? Was this dragon mentally disabled?!
Lü Dongbin's brain scrambled as he assessed the situation. As long as it could help him, it didn't matter if the dragon was mentally disabled or not.
Thus, tears began to well up in Lü Dongbin's eyes as he began speaking in a grief-stricken and indignant voice, "Senior, if you didn't get here in time, I would've been killed by those three void spirit bodies! They tried to destroy your spell formation, and I tried to stop them, even if it meant giving up my life..."
"Ok... ok... cut the crap, I'll kill them for you." The black dragon clearly didn't have much patience, and it immediately turned to the three void spirit bodies with a sinister smile on its face."I haven't exercised for a long time, you three will make good appetizers..."
The Void Spirit Tribe cultivators immediately turned and fled into the distance!
In the next instant, the entire space covering a radius of several dozen kilometers around them was transformed into a raging sea of lightning as massive spatial rifts appeared in the air...
Ten seconds later, the black dragon returned to the sacrificial altar with two tattered bodies held between its fangs.
"Hmph! There was a little b*stard that could fuse himself with nothingness, and he ended up getting away... It really has been too long since I exercised..." the black dragon lamented with a disconsolate expression.
Lü Dongbin stood by the altar with a fawning smile. The black dragon had just slain two Return to Void Stage Void Spirit Tribe cultivators and severely wounded another. There was absolutely nothing he could complain about.
"Hmm... but these Void Spirit Tribe cultivators taste quite good. They have a sticky yet smooth texture and consuming them can fortify my consciousness..." The black dragon chewed a few more times before swallowing the two bodies with an expression that was clearly craving for more.
"Thank you for saving me, senior! There are a few other Return to Void Stage Void Spirit Tribe cultivators within this Void Star Section. If you want, I can lead you to them for your consumption..." Lü Dongbin forced a chuckle down before making this suggestion.
The black dragon twisted its body and waved its tail around as if it was still getting used to its new body. He turned to Lü Dongbin with a question after a short while."Oh right, you humans came into the Ancient Tai Chu Realm through the same spatial passageway, right?"
Lü Dongbin hesitated for a moment before deciding that there was no need to hide anything from the dragon, so he joined hands in salute before replying, "Yes, senior."
"Then there's no need for you to thank me. If you want to thank someone, then thank An Lin. If he didn't kill me, I wouldn't have been able to appear here to save you." The black dragon waved his tail nonchalantly.
Lü Dongbin was completely rooted to the spot upon hearing this; he looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
He suddenly recalled that day at the palace where the young man had looked at him with a slightly shy smile...
Holy f*ck...!
An Lin managed to kill this dragon!?
My god...
Lü Dongbin only had one thought in his heart.
An Lin... what a terrifyingly powerful man!
