Spirit Vessel

The blood dragon hovered majestically in the air while wielding the weapon essence, looking eager to slay both gods and devils.

Feiyun shook his head, thinking that this had zero chance of success.

“Boom!” Sure enough, the dragon was sent flying again by the claw. It broke several bones this time and couldn’t get up.

“Th-this doesn’t count… I wasn’t ready The dragon said before fainting.

“Insignificant demon, the likes of you can never challenge me. The world trembles if I ever break free.” The voice alone created violent gusts.

Feiyun finally made his move and turned the weapon essence into a long saber.

“Ant, how dare you raise your blade against me?” The monster underground said with disdain.

Feiyun’s hair fluttered to the winds but his eyes remained sharp as he slashed the claw.

“Whoosh!” He cut through the scales and left a gash spanning several hundred meters and spurting blood.

Feiyun used the impact as momentum to leap up into the air again, unleashing a palm strike and destroying dozens of scales.

“So tough.” Feiyun thought that given his current power and physical prowess, he would be able to crush the claw entirely.

“Impressive, to be able to hurt me.” The voice showed fear and quickly pulled back. It also gathered a power numerous times stronger than when it fought the dragon.

“Clank! Clank! Clank!” The iron chains beneath clanked loudly. The entire mountain started shaking.

The turtle’s group backed off right away because the aura beneath seemed cataclysmic.

Feiyun was not deterred and asked: “Speak, what are you? Who sealed you here?”

“Come down if you want the answer.” The voice said domineeringly.

Feiyun slashed the ground to create a pit before jumping down.

“Boom!” The sand closed the pit, seemingly swallowing Feiyun.

Feiyun saw only darkness beneath but was not afraid due to his current cultivation.

He became ablaze and lit up the place, finding it to be hollow and large. The air here was chilling, similar to that of the hell gates.

“Clank!” The voice spoke: “A half-demon? How rare for a half-demon to be so powerful. No, wait, there is dragon blood in you, you are a half-dragon! Raa!”

The claw attacked but Feiyun easily blocked it with both hands through the use of the myriad beast technique.

“Boom!” It destroyed dozens of scales but Feiyun was forced back as well.

This monster was something else. Its cultivation had been sealed so this was its physical force alone.

“Who are you?” Feiyun summoned his Trinity Cauldron and made it as large as a mountain before mounting an offense.

A jade chain as thick as a water basin rushed out of the darkness and fought against the cauldron.

If this was happening above ground, it would cause immense destruction and flatten mountain ranges.

“Rumble!” The cauldron continued to echo and issue blazing flames.

“To be this strong at such a young age, impressive. Whose child are you?” The voice was dignified and chilling.

Feiyun fought his way into the darkness; the images of ten thousand beasts loomed behind him.

“Who are you, why are you sealed here?” He found this underground cave to be mysterious and indestructible.

The monster sneered and sent another chain forward. Feiyun retaliated with his trigram seal because it was enough to break his current body.

“Boom!” The seal barely stopped the chain from pushing forward.

A third chain appeared and looked like an iron dragon. This time, it had both power and an unpredictable trajectory.

“Phoenix Incineration!”

“Cosmic Seal!”

Feiyun maintained his pace into the darkness, still undeterred by this powerful being.

Eventually, he saw thousands of chains gathering in a single place - to trap a black dragon.

A finger on its claw spanned dozens of miles and took up all of Feiyun’s field of vision.

“Now you know who I am.” The dragon had a total of eighteen eyes. Its voice hurt Feiyun’s eardrums. A roar in this close vicinity could kill a Heaven’s Emergence cultivator.

Feiyun thought that this dragon must have a high status in the tribe.

“A seven-clawed black dragon? No, they only have two eyes while you have eighteen.” Feiyun responded.

“No wonder why you are so bold. You don’t know who I am.”

“So what?”

On the ground were ancient runes everywhere. Up above was a black portal. Just staring at it alone nearly pulled Feiyun’s soul inside. Fortunately, it was also sealed by the chains.

“If you knew who I am, you wouldn’t dare to fight me!” The dragon roared.

Feiyun stabilized his stance; his feet dug deep into the ground. Both the trigram seal and the cauldron appeared before him to stop the attack.

He still lost control of his body and couldn’t open his eyes, feeling as if he was stuck in a vortex.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he was blown out of the ground, back to the desert. The mountains around him have been obliterated.

The turtle and Ximen Chuixiao ran over to help him up. He had agonizing pain all over his body.

“I felt a draconic energy earlier, is it a dragon down there?” Ximen Chuixiao turned pale because dragons were still the strongest creatures in the world.

Feiyun sat in the meditative pose while holding spirit stones in order to heal. He said: “It’s a seven-clawed dragon but for some reason, it has eighteen eyes. Looks like a strange species.”.

The turtle dropped to the ground and was scared out of his mind: “You, you actually fought it? Why are you still alive?”

“Raa!” The dragon’s roar could still be heard.

The turtle decided to bury its head in the sand out of fear. Once the roars could no longer be heard, it explained: “He is one of the strongest monsters in West Bull. Not to mention a brat like you, even the lords of the central dynasties will run for their lives. It had exterminated a demon tribe not weaker than the human race. It fought against Ancestral Dragon Monarch before. Though it lost, it still managed to wound the ancestral dragon.”

“Fuck, so it’s sealed here. But who sealed it?” The turtle couldn’t believe it: “We need to run right now, don’t provoke that big guy anymore. You only survived because it was sealed but since we sensed its draconic energy, the seal might be weakening.”
