Chapter 2787: Unexpected

Wang Changsheng’s expression tightened. He had seen a seventh-rank flood dragon on Myriad Poison Island in the Azure Glazed Sea, but that flood dragon was severely wounded and had transformed into human form.

The seventh-rank flood dragon before them had not transformed into human form and was not injured.

A major reason why flood dragons are difficult to deal with is their resilience. Ordinary treasures can hardly harm them; flood dragons can withstand attacks from treasures. Ordinary cultivators, however, cannot endure a flood dragon's attacks. The higher the flood dragon's rank, the stronger its physical body and the more resistant it becomes. Except for body cultivators, ordinary cultivators' physical bodies cannot withstand attacks from treasures.

Niu Pan scoffed, chanted a spell, and the thunderclouds high above churned violently, unleashing a thunderstorm. Golden lightning spears descended from the sky, aggressively striking the ice flood dragon.

Countless white cold mists emanated from the ice flood dragon's body, forming a thick white battle armor that protected its entire body. Thousands of golden lightning bolts successively struck the ice flood dragon, submerging its massive body in golden lightning.

“Ice Escape Art! Be careful.”

Wang Changsheng quickly warned them, as the ice flood dragon suddenly vanished from his spiritual sense.

Wang Changsheng's body glowed with a bright blue light. Niu Pan's body surged with countless golden electric arcs, transforming into a golden lightning streak that disappeared. Lin Qingyu, meanwhile, conjured a flickering golden command flag. The flag’s surface bore a flame pattern, emitting terrifying fire spiritual energy fluctuations—a mid-grade Sky-Through Spiritual Treasure.

The golden command flag revolved around her, releasing countless golden flames. The surrounding hundred miles transformed into a sea of golden fire. Plants were reduced to ash, rocks melted, and the heat waves were astonishing.

A cold wind blew, and a pure white flood dragon suddenly appeared behind them. As soon as it emerged, it opened its gaping maw and spewed a vast white mist. Where the mist passed, flames dispersed, the ground began to freeze, and large amounts of white ice shards appeared in the air.

Countless dazzling white lights radiated from its body, and the ground quickly froze, with ice rapidly spreading.

The golden sea of fire visibly shrank. A ripple appeared above Wang Changsheng’s head, and a giant white dragon claw materialized from thin air, striking down like lightning. Wang Changsheng's body transformed into countless blue water vapor and vanished.

The ice flood dragon's tail abruptly swept through the golden sea of fire, striking Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu dissipated into a ball of golden flames.

The ice flood dragon's attacks missed; it wasn't that easy to injure Wang Changsheng and his two companions.

Thunderous rumbles echoed from above. Thousands of thick golden lightning spears tore through the sky, like a golden meteor shower, heading straight for the ice flood dragon.

Before the ice flood dragon could evade, a man's roar, shaking heaven and earth, resounded. The ice flood dragon's body trembled, and thousands of thick golden lightning spears successively struck it.

A tremendous explosion erupted, and dazzling golden lightning enveloped the ice flood dragon's massive body.

A golden light flashed, and a palm-sized golden miniature mountain materialized. After the golden miniature mountain emitted a dazzling golden light, its size dramatically increased, transforming into a thousand-zhang-tall golden mountain that crashed down on the ice flood dragon.

Dazzling white light emerged from within the golden lightning. A white light shot out, striking the golden mountain. The golden mountain visibly froze, and its descent stalled.

A thick dragon tail flew out from the golden lightning, striking the golden mountain. The golden mountain was sent flying backward. After traveling ten thousand zhang, the ice melted, and the golden mountain's surface was enveloped in golden flames, floating high in the sky like a giant fireball.

At this moment, the golden lightning dissipated. The white flood dragon was unharmed, its entire body covered by a thick layer of white ice armor.

Thunder roared loudly. A golden light flashed, and a lightning spear enveloped in golden electric arcs appeared, striking the white ice armor. Countless golden electric arcs surged forth.

The white ice armor shattered, and the golden lightning spear struck the ice flood dragon's scales, producing a "clang" of metal collision, with sparks flying.

Countless white cold mists surged from the ice flood dragon's body. The golden lightning spear visibly froze, but soon, countless golden electric arcs surged from the lightning spear, shattering the ice.

A vast blue sea surged forward. As it passed, dozens of towering peaks were pulverized by the seawater.

The ice flood dragon spewed a beam of white light, striking the seawater. The seawater rapidly froze, and the ice layer quickly spread, transforming the vast blue sea into a white glacier.

A two-zhang-long blue long blade descended from the sky, slashing towards the ice flood dragon's head—the God-Slaying Blade!

The blue long blade struck its head, entering and disappearing.

The ice flood dragon let out an agonizing roar, its massive body writhing incessantly. Its physical body was powerful, but the God-Slaying Blade targeted its sea of consciousness, causing damage regardless of its physical strength.

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Qingyu took out a Nine Dragons True Fire Talisman. With a gentle flick of her wrist, the talisman flew out of her hand, and the runes on its surface glowed with dazzling red light.

With a muffled thud, the Nine Dragons True Fire Talisman exploded. Nine ten-thousand-zhang-long fire dragons materialized, and the temperature rapidly rose. The ice on the ground quickly melted into water, then turned into mist, and the ground spontaneously combusted.

The nine ten-thousand-zhang-long fire dragons bared their fangs and claws, pouncing on the ice flood dragon.

The ice flood dragon felt the terrifying high temperature emanating from the nine fire dragons, and a hint of fear appeared in its eyes. Before it could evade, a man's roar sounded.

By the time it regained consciousness, the nine fire dragons had already collided with its body.

A tremendous explosion erupted, and a huge red mushroom cloud rose. The ground violently shook. Flames scattered in all directions, turning an area of a thousand miles into a red sea of fire. Even the air seemed unable to withstand the high temperature, distorting and deforming.

Large amounts of white snowflakes fell from the sky, and the temperature plummeted.

A cold wind swept behind Wang Changsheng, and a massive white flood dragon appeared. Many scales on the flood dragon's body had fallen off, it was covered in blood, and a burnt smell emanated from it.

Like picking the softest persimmon, the seventh-rank flood dragon chose Wang Changsheng, who had the lowest cultivation, as its breakthrough point.

The white flood dragon's claw struck towards Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng's body dissipated into countless blue seawater. Hundreds of miles away, countless blue seawater surged, then suddenly solidified, forming Wang Changsheng's figure.

This was the Myriad Sea Transformation Art, a unique divine ability from the Myriad Sea Immortal Scripture. This ability resembled the Water Escape Art but was more profound. Its casting range was limited, not comparable to the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell. The Myriad Sea Transformation Art consumed less magic power, whereas performing the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell required a significant amount of magic power.

As soon as Wang Changsheng appeared, the air above him fluctuated. A giant white dragon claw materialized from thin air, striking down on Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's body glowed with a bright blue light. The white dragon claw struck Wang Changsheng's body, and his body once again dissipated into countless blue seawater and vanished. Hundreds of miles away, countless blue seawater surged, then suddenly solidified, forming Wang Changsheng's figure.

Dense golden lightning descended from the sky, striking the ice flood dragon and submerging its figure.

A loud dragon roar sounded, and a gigantic white dragon phantasm appeared high in the sky.

The ice flood dragon had summoned its True Form; it was fighting to the death.

As soon as the white dragon phantasm appeared, large amounts of white snowflakes fell from the sky, transforming into ten-foot-long white ice spears that shot in all directions. The white dragon phantasm opened its mouth and spewed a white light, which then disappeared.

The next moment, a white light appeared in front of Lin Qingyu. The white light struck Lin Qingyu's protective spiritual light, which rapidly froze.

The air fluctuated, and a vast white dragon claw materialized from thin air, striking Lin Qingyu's protective spiritual light.

With a muffled thud, Lin Qingyu's protective spiritual light shattered. She was greatly alarmed, and with a gasp, a flickering golden miniature shield flew out, instantly expanding to meet the attack.

The white dragon claw struck the golden shield. The golden shield then struck her body, sending Lin Qingyu and the shield flying backward. Her face flushed crimson, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood, her complexion turning pale.

“Madam Lin, be careful.”

A man's urgent voice sounded.

A white light shot towards her. Lin Qingyu chanted a spell, and the golden command flag surged with golden flames, destroying the white light.

The ice flood dragon suddenly appeared above her head, spewing white mist from its mouth and nostrils.

The ice flood dragon spewed a vast white mist, which struck the golden shield. Lin Qingyu, along with her shield, was frozen, transforming into a massive block of ice, which the ice flood dragon then swallowed.

Wang Changsheng and Niu Pan were greatly alarmed, transforming into two streaks of light and fleeing.

The ice flood dragon naturally wouldn't let them leave. It pursued them, as human Integration stage cultivators were a great tonic for it.
