Holy Dragon Xi Tao quickly returned to the spatial gate with the two Nirvana Tribulation elders of the Xi Clan Residence.
"Let's go back."
Xi Tao didn't hesitate in the slightest. He wanted to pass through the spatial gate and return to Mt. Mang City.
Jiang Shenwu turned around and brought Xi Yuying with him as he prepared to pass through the spatial gate. However, at that moment, the ring-shaped spatial gate that was emitting a gentle white light suddenly let out an explosive sound before it exploded!
This situation caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
"Fortunately, fortunately, this spatial gate has not been completely destroyed. I can still repair it."
One of the elders of the Xi Clan, who was also Xi Yuying's "Third Great Uncle", watched as the spatial gate exploded, but its basic structure still remained. He couldn't help but sigh in relief. "It just needs a certain amount of time.
Xi Tao, keep an eye on the surroundings. Don't let any yao beasts approach. I'll be able to repair the spatial gate in about five minutes. "
"Alright."
Xi Tao nodded and said to Kang Shin-mu, "Stay here for now and don't move. We'll return as soon as the spatial gate is repaired."
"Mm."
Kang Shin-mu nodded.
But at this moment, his heart was beating faster and faster. The Black Dragon's consciousness was also growing clearer and clearer. It was as if something worthy of the Black Dragon's attention was rapidly approaching them from afar.
"What could it be?"
Kang Shin-mu's heart skipped a beat.
If it was some extremely powerful existence, perhaps even Xi Tao wouldn't be able to deal with it. If that was the case, all of them would probably perish here.
"However, given the scarlet demon wolf leader's strength, it's still beyond his power to construct a spatial gate like this."
Kang Shin-mu began to ponder, his eyes flashing with shrewdness. "The one coming now might be the mastermind behind the scarlet demon wolves!"
He wanted to see what kind of person would use a spatial gate to target the essence of yao blood.
It was true that the Origin of Demon Blood had a strong effect on demonic beasts, but for the demonic beasts of the Heaven Opening Demon Realm, there was no need to travel so far to obtain this thing, right?
Unfortunately, he now knew that even the Sacred Dragon Xi Tao would not be able to deal with that person once he appeared.
If the other party really descended, they would all die here. None of them would be able to escape.
"However, the black dragon's consciousness seems to be getting clearer …"
Kang Shin-mu could now sense the Black Dragon's consciousness in his body gradually awakening. It gave him a rather strange feeling, as though the Black Dragon's consciousness and the existence that was about to arrive had some inexplicable connection.
As for whether this was good or bad, Kang Shin-mu could not be sure.
"Right now, the essence of the Demon Blood is within my body. However, it has already been devoured and turned into my own strength. Even if the other party comes, they won't be able to snatch it away."
Kang Shin-mu was very sure of this, but if the other party was angry, he could still kill him, and the Holy Dragon Xi Tao would most likely not be able to stop him. They might even be buried here together.
Xi Yuying's Third Great Uncle began to repair the slightly shattered Spacetime Gate while the others stood guard at the side.
Not long after, the surrounding world changed color. The wind and clouds were suffused with a scarlet color. It was as if the entire sky had been sliced open, and strands of blood seeped out from it. Moreover, the strands of blood seeped down from the sky like a waterfall, pouring down to the ground.
The sky changed color, and even the Holy Dragon Xi Tao's expression changed.
"The one coming is definitely a powerful existence that surpasses me."
Xi Tao's eyes were filled with solemnity. "We must hurry. Otherwise, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape."
He threw the 1,000-meter-long corpse of the Scarlet Demon Wolf Chief onto the ground. He was already prepared to fight against the expert that had descended from the Demon Realm. No matter what, he was now the strongest among them. No matter what, he had to delay the other party no matter what. At the very least, he had to protect the lives of Kang Shin-mu and Xi Yuying.
He knew very well that under such circumstances, no one could help them.
Now that the Spacetime Gate was in a half-broken state, even if the Dragon King was near Laoshan City, he would not be able to pass through the Spacetime Gate and come here. They could only rely on themselves.
The Spacetime Gate was rapidly repairing itself, but it did not seem to be fast enough.
As the sky changed color, a blood-red light seeped down from the clouds, forming a blood-red sky. The Holy Dragon Xi Tao's expression became more and more solemn.
Soon after, a pungent wind blew, and a gust of blood blew through the dense forest, causing everyone's divine dragon bodies to be stained with the strong smell of blood.
Roar!
At this moment, a humongous creature suddenly poked its head out of the clouds. It was a blood-red dragon. Just its head alone was about the same size as the divine dragon that Xi Tao had transformed into.
As the blood-red dragon sped down from the clouds, the clouds in the sky seemed to be lifted, and a blood-red color covered the world.
The giant blood-red eyes of the dragon flashed with a bloodthirsty light. It stared at Xi Tao, Kang Shin-mu, and the others, who were near the shattered Spacetime Gate. There was a hint of mockery in its eyes, as if it was mocking them for overestimating themselves.
"Heaven Awakening Dragon!"
The Holy Dragon Xi Tao's expression changed drastically. He had not expected that the ruler of the Heaven Awakening Demon Realm, the Heaven Awakening Dragon, would come in person!
What exactly could have caused such a powerful existence to appear?
It must be said that the Heaven Awakening Dragon was much more powerful than the Dragon King. Even if the Dragon King came, he would not be a match for the Heaven Awakening Dragon. Perhaps only an existence at the level of the Dragon Emperor would be able to gain some advantage against the Heaven Awakening Dragon.
"It's a demon dragon indeed."
Kang Shin-mu's black dragon body was almost completely covered in a layer of blood-red light. Under this layer of blood-red light, his entire black dragon body seemed somewhat ferocious. However, compared to the Heaven Awakening Dragon in the sky, there was still a huge difference.
Right now, Jiang Shenwu was not even comparable to an ant in front of the Heaven Awakening Demon Dragon. The Heaven Awakening Demon Dragon only needed to casually blow a breath, and Jiang Shenwu would be completely annihilated, turning into ashes amidst the blood.
However, at this moment, the source of demon blood in his body began to boil, and the black dragon's consciousness finally awakened completely.
One of Kang Shin-mu's dragon eyes revealed a feeling of overlooking the world. This divine dragon eye was completely occupied by the black dragon's consciousness at this moment. At the same time, a heart-palpitating aura was released from the divine dragon's eye.
The moment this aura appeared, it seemed to be able to contend with the Heaven Awakening Dragon in the sky, causing the other party's bloodthirsty killing intent to dissipate significantly.
This situation made the Holy Dragon Xi Tao look at Kang Shin-mu in surprise.
