The battle between Hokuang Reiwon and the Demonic Dragon Palace finally came to an end on the Northern Heavens Continent.
This great battle had undoubtedly shaken the entire Northern Heavens Continent. No one had imagined that the Demonic Dragon Palace would suddenly launch an attack against Hokuang Reiwon. Furthermore, the various changes that occurred after that could only be described as a twist on a mountain road over a mountain peak.
The Demonic Dragon Palace, which had originally gained the upper hand due to their flawless planning, had completely lost their upper hand following the appearance of a mysterious woman. In the end, they were utterly defeated. Including the Black Dragon Sovereign, the six great Sovereigns of the Demonic Dragon Palace suffered disastrous casualties. Of the six great Sovereigns, three were killed, with only three remaining, who were heavily injured and forced to flee.
After that, the mysterious woman took action in an even more domineering manner, causing the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, whose strength had reached the Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, to flee in fear. Such astonishing capabilities caused the various big shots of the Northern Heavens Continent to turn silent out of fear as they became dumbfounded.
After the defeat of the Demonic Dragon Palace, their reputation and prestige plummeted. Although they still possessed three Sovereigns, and could still be considered as possessing powerful strength, they no longer had the capital to contend against Hokuang Reiwon.
Therefore, after the conclusion of the battle, the Demonic Dragon Palace's sphere of influence rapidly shrunk. They crazily abandoned the territories that they had painstakingly built up, before retreating back to their headquarters. That's because they could feel that Hokuang Reiwon would absolutely not let go of this opportunity to completely annihilate them.
Just as they had expected, on the second day after the battle, many of Hokuang Reiwon's Elders, as well as all of his higher-ups, were mobilized. Their momentum and power shook the heavens and shook the earth.
Shock and astonishment filled the hearts of the various powers. For the past few years, Hokuang Reiwon had only quietly stood on the continent.
However, due to his gentle temperament, no one was able to sense how malevolent his fangs were. Therefore, it caused some people to neglect the true strength that this colossal monster possessed.
At this instant, that neglect was completely erased.
They could clearly feel how astonishing and lofty Hokuang Reiwon was when he started to bare his fangs.
Hokuang Reiwon had mobilized all his experts.
Crazily encircling and annihilating the old lair of the Demonic Dragon Palace, the morale of the Demonic Dragon Palace had completely fallen as they faced the powerful Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Some even betrayed the Demonic Dragon Palace.
At this moment, the Demonic Dragon Palace was already on the verge of collapse. Even the Black Dragon Sovereign was hiding, not daring to show himself.
As for the rest …
How would he dare to clash head on with Hokuang Reiwon?
Therefore, within a short span of three days, the Demonic Dragon Palace's branch palace in the Northern Heavens Continent had seemingly been completely destroyed. Three days later, Hokuang Reiwon's army of experts arrived at the old lair of the Demonic Dragon Palace, an ancient palace hidden beneath the earth.
The attack ended here.
Only then did the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's irresistible offensive finally slow down.
Because of this place, the last of the Demonic Dragon Palace's strength had been gathered. At the same time, they possessed the greatest defence, an ancient Spiritual Array that had been passed down from the ancient times.
This ancient Spiritual Array was extremely powerful. If one wanted to activate it, they would need at least five Sovereigns to activate it. When the Demonic Dragon Palace had been defeated, Hokuang Reiwon had similarly attacked this place. However, even the Northern Sea Dragon was unable to destroy this Spiritual Array. Therefore, they had no choice but to retreat, resulting in the bitter consequences from before.
With this precedent, Dean Tai Cang had clearly made up his mind to completely erase the malignant tumor that was the Demonic Dragon Palace. Therefore, even if the Demonic Dragon Palace activated the ancient Spiritual Array once again, he still issued an order for the numerous experts of Hokuang Reiwon to crazily attack the ancient Spiritual Array in an attempt to break it.
However, this method clearly did not have much of an effect. Even though there were only three Sovereigns left in the Demonic Dragon Palace, making it difficult for them to display the full might of the ancient Spiritual Array, its might was still not to be underestimated. Recklessly attacking it would only be a waste of energy.
Seeing that his attacks were unable to succeed, Dean Tai Cang could only helplessly send someone to invite Ling Xi over from Hokuang Reiwon. Generally speaking, Ling Xi did not pay much attention to such matters. Therefore, even though Dean Tai Cang was not too sure whether Ling Xi would take action this time, she had unexpectedly rushed over. Her fiery appearance and murderous aura clearly showed that her hatred for the Demonic Dragon Palace was not the slightest bit weaker than Dean Tai Cang's.
Upon arriving, without saying a single word, Ling Xi started to research the ancient Spiritual Array. Although her attainments in the field of Spiritual Arrays weren't comparable to Aunt Jing's, she was much, much stronger than Mu Chen's. Therefore, even if this ancient Spiritual Array was rather formidable, it was, after all, not fully activated yet. Therefore, she immersed herself within it, and after researching it for a few days, she started to understand some of its patterns.
Fluctuations that blotted the skies rippled under the dusky ground. At the depths of the ground, there was a gigantic palace that seemed to be occupied by a demonic dragon. At this moment, a gigantic screen of light enveloped the outside of the palace. The screen appeared somewhat turbid, as ancient patterns spread out like the patterns on a tortoise's shell, giving off a heavy feeling.
In the sky outside of the glowing screen, Ling Xi stood in the air, her beautiful eyes coldly looking towards the somewhat dim ancient Spiritual Array. Tilting her head to look towards Dean Tai Cang, she said, "Is everything prepared according to what I've said?"
"Yes." Dean Tai Cang immediately nodded his head.
"Senior Northern Sea, I'll have to trouble you to take action when we disrupt this ancient Spiritual Array. Take the opportunity to destroy it in one fell swoop!" said Ling Xi as she looked towards the Northern Sea Dragon.
"Alright." Slowly nodding his head, the Northern Sea Dragon continued to stare at the Demonic Dragon Palace with a chilling gaze.
Raising her jade-like hand, Ling Xi roared in her lovable voice, "Take action!"
Bang!
As her lovable voice rang out, boundless Spiritual Energy instantly erupted from the bodies of the numerous Hokuang Reiwon experts behind her. In the next instant, rays of Spiritual Energy swept out, shooting across the horizon, illuminating the entire underground area as though it was daytime.
Hiding the skies and covering the earth, the rays of light descended towards certain areas of the ancient Spiritual Array like a torrential rain. In the next instant, ripples started to rapidly surface on the screen of light, before circular ripples started to radiate out.
Under these ripples, some of the patterns on the surface of the ancient Spiritual Array started to dim slightly.
Raising her jade-like hand once again, Ling Xi gave a sudden wave.
Dean Tai Cang, Hall Master Mo You.
At this moment, Elder Zhu Tian and the other Sovereign level experts took action. With a raise of their hands.
Transforming into pillars that supported the heavens, Spiritual Energy descended from the heavens, violently stabbing towards some of the dim and ancient patterns on the surface of the ancient Spiritual Array.
Chi!
Ear-piercing sounds rang out, as the fluctuations of the ancient Spiritual Array instantly grew even more intense. As the giant Spiritual Energy pillars descended, the ancient patterns on the surface of the array grew increasingly faint, while the several giant Spiritual Energy pillars started to sink in, bit by bit.
And sink into it bit by bit.
Humm!
As those giant Spiritual Energy pillars stabbed into the ancient Spiritual Array, they appeared to be obstructing the flow of Spiritual Energy. Instantly, the entire screen of light turned dark and gloomy, while chaotic fluctuations started to radiate out.
Chaotic ripples spread out, and one could see a tiny crack appearing at the center of the light screen.
"Senior Northern Sea!" Ling Xi's beautiful eyes narrowed.
Roaring out.
Bang!
The Northern Sea Dragon took a step forward.
Appearing as though he had teleported, he appeared right before the crack on the screen of light. In the next instant, a fist rumbled out, causing the space beneath his fist to start to collapse. His fist, which was as heavy as ten thousand mountains, heavily smashed against the crack.
Boom!
At this moment, the entire ancient Spiritual Array violently shook. In the next instant, incomparably joyous expressions appeared on Dean Tai Cang and the rest's faces.
With the Northern Sea Dragon's fist at the centre, cracks started to rapidly spread out.
In the short span of a few breaths, they had affected the entire ancient Spiritual Array.
Bang!
When the cracks had extended to their limits, the ancient Spiritual Array was finally unable to endure it any longer. With a loud bang, it completely exploded apart. Frightening shockwaves swept out, causing even Dean Tai Cang and the rest to be pushed back.
Bang!
Bang!
Within the ancient Spiritual Array, the Demonic Dragon Palace suffered a devastating impact. The palace collapsed, while figures exploded into a mist of blood that blotted the skies.
As the mist of blood rose, the entire Demonic Dragon Palace was filled with wails of anguish.
Dean Tai Cang, the Northern Sea Dragon and the rest swept their gazes across the ruins below. However, upon discovering that the figures of the Black Dragon Sovereign and the rest were nowhere to be seen, a frown immediately appeared on their faces.
"There are Spiritual Array fluctuations over there!"
All of a sudden, Ling Xi pointed towards the deepest region.
With a shift of his body, the Northern Sea Dragon appeared in the depths of the abyss. Sweeping his gaze over, his expression slightly changed. It was a deep abyss. However, the abyss was filled with a viscous sea of blood, while frightening baleful energies were continuously radiating from the sea of blood.
At this moment, a dozen figures were currently condensing the fiendish energies above the sea of blood. As the fiendish energies condensed, a blood-red Spiritual Array took shape beneath their feet.
Within these dozen figures, the Black Dragon Sovereign was also present. At this moment, his face was somewhat pale, and upon seeing the Northern Sea Dragon, his face turned even paler.
"Stop them! That's a spatial teleportation Spiritual Array!
They're trying to escape! "Ling Xi's lovable face slightly contorted as she roared.
Before her voice rang out, the Northern Sea Dragon had already taken action. He sent a palm patting out, causing black light to explosively shoot out. Akin to feathers, they tore through space, piercing through the bodies of those figures at lightning speed.
Extremely overbearing energies were contained within those feathers. As they pierced through their bodies, they shattered the Spirits within their bodies.
Upon seeing this, the faces of the Black Dragon Sovereign and the other two remaining Sovereigns contorted. In the next instant, venomous gazes shot towards the Northern Sea Dragon and his group. With a change of their hand seals, numerous mouthfuls of blood essence spurted out from their mouths. In the next instant, the blood-red Spiritual Array beneath their feet erupted with a blood-red brilliance, enveloping their bodies within it.
"Haha! Dean Tai Cang, it won't be that easy for you to destroy my Demonic Dragon Palace!
As long as there's life, there's hope. Consider yourselves lucky this time. However, we'll definitely return. At that time, we'll wash your Great Heavens Spiritual Academy in blood! "As the blood-red brilliance enveloped their bodies, the Black Dragon Sovereign and his group took a deep breath of relief as they roared out fiercely.
"You'll have to be able to leave first!"
Taking a step forward, the Northern Sea Dragon appeared outside of the blood-red brilliance in a flash. Sending numerous palms out, they pierced through space, heavily landing on the bodies of the Black Dragon Sovereign and the other two.
Puff!
Mouthfuls of blood spurted out from the mouths of the Black Dragon Sovereign and his group, while the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from their bodies withered to their limits. However, just as the Northern Sea Dragon was about to send out his final palm, the blood-red brilliance had already spread out, enveloping them. In the next instant, space started to warp and distort, before the three figures disappeared.
A chilling glint flashed within the eyes of the Northern Sea Dragon. His withered palm violently pierced into the chaotic space, before giving a fierce tug.
Fresh blood spurted out from the spatial crack, faintly accompanied by miserable shrieks. With a cold snort, the Northern Sea Dragon retracted his palm from the spatial crack. At the same time, three arms dripping with blood appeared.
"They've escaped?" asked Dean Tai Cang as he hastily shot over.
"I've disrupted their teleportation and seriously injured them. Coupled with the crippling of an arm, they're already on the verge of death. Even if they're lucky enough to complete their teleportation, I'm afraid that they'll suffer disastrous casualties. It'll be hard for them to become great people," replied the Northern Sea Dragon as he shook his head.
"The foundation of the Demonic Dragon Palace has already been destroyed. Even if the Black Dragon Sovereign is still alive, he's just a stray dog. There's no need to fear him," replied Dean Tai Cang with a smile. At this moment, his expression had finally turned completely relaxed. He knew that the malignant tumor that was the Demonic Dragon Palace had finally been completely eliminated from the Northern Heavens Continent by them.
From now on, the Demonic Dragon Palace would no longer exist in the Northern Heavens Continent!
