True Dragons were supreme war machines created by the myriad demons to counterbalance the Savage Beasts.
However, as boundless spiritual energy manifested in the world, True Dragons and Savage Beasts embarked on different paths to adapt to the new era.
Savage Beasts chose extreme ferocity. Nurtured by spiritual energy, mature Savage Beasts were themselves Dao-controlling level monsters. After all Savage Beasts were slain, this untamed ferocity became deeply ingrained in the bloodlines of the demon race.
When the time was ripe, this malice from the primeval wilderness would awaken and materialize from their bloodlines, giving rise to monsters that were embodiments of Dao, causing the Savage Beast calamities throughout history.
Similarly, facing the spiritual energy era and the rise of humanity, True Dragons opted for wisdom and continuation.
No one knew how the once weak humans overthrew the demon race, which had reached its zenith.
But what was certain was that even after countless eons, even though the demon race had declined so drastically, those supreme beings who had ascended to the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths had not severed the roots of the demon race.
And True Dragons, as the sole tombstones left from that glorious era of the demon race.
By embracing the spiritual energy era, True Dragons gained greater power but also attracted more scrutiny.
The Old Dragon King became the foremost person in the world thousands of years ago, primarily because for True Dragons to step into Dao Control, the principles they mastered had to reach the realm of Half-Step Supreme!
Long Ji possessed exceptional talent and had followed the Great Dao of Formations from the outset. However, her success and failure both hinged on formations. Without Chen Luo's guidance, Long Ji would likely have had no hope of reaching Dao Control in her lifetime.
After stepping into Dao Control, each advancement in the Immortal Ascension realm increased their comprehension of the principles they controlled by another level.
As for those who reached Immortal Ascension Seventh Layer and chose to remain in the mortal world instead of ascending to the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths.
Once they reached the pinnacle of Immortal Ascension Ninth Layer, they would undoubtedly be at least Half-Step Supreme True Immortals residing in the mortal realm.
As for whether any True Immortals had endured countless tribulations in the mortal world and ultimately ascended to the Supreme realm?
No one knew.
...
After Peach Immortal returned empty-handed, Dao-controlling level Great Suns appeared one after another, coldly watching as ten thousand immortal ships charged directly into the breach of the Vast Sea Celestial Curtain.
Although the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths had issued decrees prohibiting mortal factions from eradicating the demon race, at this moment, no one stepped forward to forcefully dissuade the Great Zhen's leader from his actions.
Only.
The Dao-controlling figures had no doubt that Great Zhen possessed the strength to annihilate Vast Sea. Although intelligence indicated that Vast Sea had gained over a thousand Rainbow Transformation experts and its formations could suppress Dharma Bodies, Great Zhen's Immortal Ship Dao Army was itself an unparalleled formation!
Meng Tian led the vanguard, guiding the ten thousand immortal ships behind him directly through the celestial curtain's rift.
After a brief distortion of space and time, what met Meng Tian's eyes were countless floating immortal mountains shrouded in misty rain and a calm, waveless azure sea.
Casually catching a strand of iridescent immortal spiritual rain, Meng Tian curved his lips into a sinister smile, "As expected, the rare treasures obtained by Vast Sea are likely the source of this immortal spiritual rain!"
"Heh, with the endless immortal spiritual rain pouring down, the Savage Beast girl can recover from any injuries during her tribulation. No wonder Vast Sea has gained so many Rainbow Transformations in such a short period!"
"If Vast Sea were given more time, this primordial Celestial Realm might have been overturned!"
Gazing at the boundless immortal spiritual rain that spanned the area of an entire continent, Meng Tian's eyes were filled with greedy ardor.
"But now, no matter what the source of this treasure is! From this moment on, all of it belongs to our Great Zhen!"
With his mind made up, Meng Tian raised his head, gazing at the floating island at the very highest point of the sky, his eyes filled with ferocity!
Meng Tian swung his tiger-striped golden saber again, and the four-faced, eight-armed golden armored Dharma Body silently materialized behind him.
"All troops, heed my command! Form the Iron Chain Crossing River Formation!"
With a general's order, ten thousand immortal ships hummed, and a million Dao soldiers moved in unison!
In an instant, profound and extraordinary formation Dao spiritual patterns flickered across all the immortal ships.
As the spiritual light flashed, chains constructed of spiritual energy began to connect the countless independent immortal ships.
When the last immortal ship was linked by spiritual energy iron chains, the spiritual energy within the scope of the immortal ship formation vibrated in unison.
The next moment, the immortal spiritual rain that had been drifting everywhere, within the formation's range, ceased to fall!
The Iron Chain Crossing River Formation, created ten thousand years ago by a Half-Step Supreme Formation Dao Grandmaster of Great Zhen with his life's effort, was a Super-Grade Great Zhen.
When dispersed, a hundred Dao soldiers on each immortal ship, working together, could contend with a Rainbow Transformation expert.
When a hundred immortal ships gathered, displaying a corner of the formation's might, they could contend with a Dharma Body!
When a thousand immortal ships jointly activated it, they could retreat unharmed from a Dao-controlling expert.
Once ten thousand immortal ships fully activated, with a million Dao soldiers working in concert to manifest the true Iron Chain Crossing River Formation,
This supreme Super-Grade formation of the world would truly display its unparalleled might!
Within the formation's scope, spiritual energy was sealed, only controllable by the formation's controller.
Within the formation's scope, injuries were shared. Unless all Dao soldiers within the formation could be directly shattered, the formation could not be broken!
Within the formation's scope, great power converged. The strength of Dao soldiers and immortal ships combined for offense, making no enemy in this world impossible to break!
Endless enhancements continuously flowed from the formation. In just a moment, the Dharma Body behind Meng Tian had expanded to thirty thousand feet!
This was not because the formation's power was exhausted, but because this was the limit Meng Tian could control.
Yet, even so, this renowned general of Great Zhen felt an unprecedented terrifying power.
Meng Tian, wielding his golden saber, transformed into a rainbow of light and flew into the Dharma Body.
The moment the rainbow light merged, the Dharma Body giant was instantly given life.
With four faces and eight eyes, displaying a furious countenance, a thunderous voice boomed within the Vast Sea microcosm:
"Ignorant Vast Sea, daring to provoke my Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty! Today! You shall be purged!"
"Ignorant demons, actually serving a pampered child as their master! Laughable! You shall be purged!!"
"Ignorant brat, daring to insult my Great Zhen's sons! Hateful! You shall be purged!!!"
As the voice thundered like lightning, eight sky-piercing giant hands swung magnificent colossal weapons, about to strike the floating island in an instant!
Within the spiritual energy barrier, the cultivators on the viewing platform, seeing the sky-high giant, were all greatly alarmed!
"General! We are still here! Wait before acting!!"
"Run! Everyone, run quickly!! That guy has gone mad!!!"
"Mad? This bastard wants to silence us all!! After this strike, who below Immortal Ascension can survive?! Great Zhen! How hateful!!!"
The Dao Path cultivators, who were the most numerous among the guests, were now driven to a frenzy by fear. The Immortal Ascension experts above also circulated their immortal essence, preparing for the impending earth-shattering collision.
Several Dharma Bodies protected their disciples while keeping a close eye on the strangely behaving Long Ji.
In their eyes at this moment, only Long Ji, who was infatuated with the young man, possessed the ability to resist.
But to everyone's surprise,
The pale-faced young man, who was at the ninth stage of the Dao Path, gently patted Long Ji's head before turning and stepping into the air to face the enemy.
As the youth took a step, lotuses of spiritual energy quietly condensed beneath his feet.
After only a few steps, to the incomprehension of the Dharma Bodies, the youth had penetrated the spiritual energy barrier and was alone, facing the colossal divine weapon descending from the sky!
Upon seeing the approaching figure, Meng Tian's hatred instantly ignited, "Little thief! Die!"
The colossal weapon descending from the sky struck with even greater ferocity!
If it hit directly, even a Dao-controlling expert would struggle to escape unharmed! Let alone this mere ninth-stage Dao Path youth, who would likely turn to dust if even grazed.
On the viewing platform, witnessing this scene, Gong Xiaoyan suddenly broke free from her mother's hand, about to fly forward, "No!!!"
Meanwhile, Miao Yu looked at her close friend with a strange expression, seeing Linglong land beside Long Ji with a composed demeanor, even with a hint of anticipation?
Mei Yingxue sighed inwardly, but she couldn't abandon her foolish daughter. Facing the crisis, she could only draw her long sword and manifest her Dharma Body behind her, preparing to forcefully rescue the youth.
The surging sword intent emanating from this Vice President of the Four Seasons Society even drew the attention of the other Dharma Bodies.
Amidst this peculiar scene of anger, anxiety, worry, fear, and anticipation,
The youth standing in the sky gently pointed at the ten thousand immortal ships above,
"This formation is not bad. It's mine now."
*Pop...*
From the tip of the youth's finger, a faint spiritual pattern fluctuation swept across the entire scene at the speed of light.
The moment the spiritual pattern fluctuation passed, the colossal weapon that was about to strike from the sky seemed to have its pause button pressed, hovering just a hair's breadth above the youth's head.
To Meng Tian's astonished, terrified, and bewildered gaze, the youth lightly raised his finger again and gently tapped the colossal weapon that was within arm's reach,
"Disperse!"
