Chapter 1055: Dragon's Lair Comes to an End

The monstrous dragon has returned, bringing a few young dragons, intent on settling scores with the prodigies of the Taiwu lineage and others. The fact that it was surrounded and beaten black and blue is simply a joke.

“My little ones, strike hard, kill mercilessly! When the time comes, Grandpa Dragon will take you far away, leaving this dragon’s nest. I guarantee you won’t be enslaved by these scoundrels.”

Long Dayu boosted morale, charging to the forefront to battle the group of prodigies.

“Prepare to die!” Gouwa roared.

“Foolish brat, die! Mortal Realm Overlord Dragon Fist!” the monstrous dragon roared. It genuinely wanted to abduct a few of the prodigies to serve as its minions.

Clashing and clanging! A group of people fought fiercely, unleashing various combat techniques. Blood splattered as the battle raged intensely.

The prodigy from the Taiwu lineage grew desperate. One of his arms was nearly torn off by the monstrous dragon; he was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled. He actually couldn’t defeat the monstrous dragon!

He had originally thought that, being slightly older, he was the strongest among the group of prodigies and could dominate here. Instead, he was thoroughly overwhelmed by the monstrous dragon.

“Taiwu Millstone Fist!” Gouwa roared, opening his mouth and spitting out beams of light. His internal energy was boiling, overflowing from his mouth and nose.

Instantly, his fists turned golden. As his two fists moved, they formed a pair of golden millstones, rumbling as they spun and crushed everything around them.

When lightning-struck wood, rocks, and other materials were touched, they all turned to dust, completely shattering.

This fist technique was very powerful. The monstrous dragon’s tail accidentally got caught in the crushing force, causing scales to fall off and blood to spill. It shrieked, quickly swung its tail, and broke free.

“Bang!” With a Green Dragon Wagging its Tail move, it sent Gouwa flying off the ground, breaking two of his bones.

“This dragon is strange!” the Taiwu lineage prodigy shouted. “Its hide is too tough; we can’t even scratch it! Even a true dragon’s hatchling wouldn’t be this tough. We are already the strongest core disciples in this age group in the Mortal Realm. This isn’t normal. Notify the elders outside!”

The Taiwu lineage prodigy shouted, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart filled with dread. If this continued, they would all die here; not a single one would survive.

“Bah! This Grandpa is just that extraordinarily talented. You can be resentful, but it won’t help,” the monstrous dragon sneered. “Furthermore, you want to contact the outside world? Look where you are! This is the Celestial Dragon Lair, cut off from the outside. Also, this Grandpa has already used the Celestial Light Mirror to scout; there are no Celestial Venerables outside, only some servants. Scream all you want. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one can save you, hehehe...”

The monstrous dragon cackled brazenly, looking like an old rogue. Its demeanor was utterly despicable.

The Taiwu lineage prodigy was furious. “What kind of outrageous nonsense was that?” he thought.

Little Crow’s feathers bristled. “Dead dragon, you’re truly shameless,” he snapped. “Screaming ‘scream your throat raw,’ you grandson are utterly vile and despicable! What are you even saying? I’ll slaughter you!”

In a chaotic melee, Gouwa broke six or seven bones, a truly miserable sight. If not for his unique Millstone Fist and its astonishing defensive power, with two golden millstones blocking in front, he might have died.

Even so, he had a terrible wound on his neck, his throat almost severed by a dragon’s claw.

“How dare this evil dragon act so ferociously? We’re here!”

A loud shout came from afar. A few more young prodigies appeared, attacking together, their eyes sharp and fierce.

A total of over a dozen young prodigies had entered, eventually splitting up. These few had been together, observing from the shadows for some time. They felt that if they didn’t help, everyone would die at the hands of these dragons, and they had to join forces now.

For a time, the area was engulfed in a bloody battle.

Even Long Dayu was howling, as others seized the opportunity, tearing off several of his dragon scales and leaving him covered in blood.

It bared its teeth and said, “A phoenix whose feathers have fallen is worse than a chicken, indeed. I’m really unlucky today. Oh, right, where’s my brother? Why is he nowhere to be seen?”

“Kill!”

“Slaughter this monstrous dragon!”

“Oh, this dragon really is strange! Look, there’s a Yin-Yang symbol on its forehead! It’s too peculiar. Kill it!”

The dragon egg shattered, revealing the monstrous dragon’s true form, which surprised many young prodigies.

The battle here instantly became even more brutal.

All of this had nothing to do with Chu Feng. He had already gone to the third small world space, formally beginning his journey of nirvana.

He adopted the most aggressive method, fully activating the residual vitality of the third gourd, hoping to nurture himself and achieve nirvana in the shortest possible time.

He felt there wasn’t enough time, so it was better to gain the fortune sooner.

Doing so, however, could easily trigger violent tremors in the sea of primordial energy. Fortunately, he had true dragon liquid on hand; if he got injured, he could drink a mouthful at any time to alleviate the crisis.

As time passed, the core area of the third small world space emitted a shimmering light. Then the essence of heaven and earth boiled, with residual essence overflowing from the earth’s veins.

In addition, the essence of dragon qi accumulated over many years within the dragon’s nest was also gathered.

At the same time, the naturally generated runes of the celestial gourd terrain all manifested.

The core area was shaped like a gourd, now resembling a purple-gold gourd emerging, transparent throughout and emitting a hazy glow.

This so-called third gourd was very small compared to the sinkhole at the tribe, only a hundred zhang across. It became increasingly brilliant, with purple light flowing.

Later, a strange phenomenon occurred here: a purple-gold gourd vibrated with iridescent light flowing, and within it, it seemed to contain a dazzling golden core.

Without a doubt, Chu Feng was that golden core, nurtured by the entire gourd terrain.

“What a pity,” Chu Feng sighed, “it was all squandered by that monstrous dragon, nurturing its old body just for rebirth. It didn’t leave much vital essence for me!”

Of course, this was expected. If there were still a lot of fortune here, that monstrous dragon wouldn’t have just packed up and left; it would definitely still be lurking here.

Finally, after a day and a night, fine patterns appeared on Chu Feng’s skin, caused by the intertwining of the natural symbols contained within the purple-gold gourd.

He was nourished and nurtured by the dragon’s nest, like a prenatal rebirth experience in the womb, making his internal organs increasingly tough, crystalline, and powerful.

At this moment, his bone marrow was imprinted with fragments of the purple-gold gourd’s runes, emitting purple light, and the cells throughout his body continuously released their hidden potential.

This was not a realm advancement, but both his physical body and soul light had grown stronger. Chu Feng felt that he could now contend with even evolutionaries at the Carefree realm.

For a child less than a year old to possess such strength was already quite terrifying; even the strongest successors cultivated by ancient sects that had existed for ages were no more than this.

By now, Chu Feng had finally caught up.

He felt that even if he immediately charged out, he could deal a heavy blow to Gouwa without worrying about being outmatched.

He was very satisfied, looking at his small arms and legs, filled with newfound strength, brimming with vigorous vitality, and considerable energy. Such an improvement in physique was truly remarkable.

Of course, he also had a slight regret: the essence of this place had ultimately been claimed by the monstrous dragon; otherwise, he could have further enhanced himself.

“Another day and night have passed,” he thought. “What’s happening outside? Let’s go see.”

Chu Feng emerged from seclusion. When he opened the exit to the third small world space, he heard the monstrous dragon’s roar; it was digging with a group of young dragons.

“Damn it, that scoundrel blocked the escape route!” the monstrous dragon raged. “Time is running out. If those scruffy Celestial Venerables suddenly come in, I’m dead!”

The monstrous dragon was truly scared and infuriated. Someone had tampered with its own lair, and for a moment, it couldn’t find the entrance.

Originally, it had already gained the upper hand, brutally defeating the young prodigies and leaving them in disarray, seemingly on the verge of collapse. But in the end, it had to give up, because time was running out, and it had to leave.

Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly slipped away from a pile of rocks on the other side. Otherwise, if he were trapped there by the monstrous dragon, he would have had to fight for his life.

After a long time, he circled back, and by then, Long Dayu had finally dug to the passage.

“Long Dayu, what’s wrong? Do you need my help?!” Chu Feng asked, poking his head out from the pile of rubble.

“Damn it, was it you who tampered with this?!” the monstrous dragon roared, seeing him and exploding in a rage. Unable to find the culprit who sabotaged the place, it was seething with anger.

Chu Feng immediately denied it, saying, “What kind of strange place is this? I have no idea.”

At first, veins pulsed on the monstrous dragon’s forehead, but in an instant, its expression shifted, revealing fear. It muttered to itself, “It seems a true master has entered and even understands force fields. Sigh, it can’t be avoided. If there’s danger, I’ll have no choice but to wield my previous life’s corpse in a bloody battle, fighting him to the death. As long as I’m not targeted by the Reincarnation Hunters!”

Chu Feng’s heart turned cold, secretly feeling fortunate that he hadn’t provoked this monstrous dragon. This fellow indeed had a trump card, a fallback plan.

The monstrous dragon motioned to a group of young dragons and rushed into the third small world space. Here, it had laid out a large teleportation field capable of reaching the other side of the Mortal Realm.

“Brother, what’s your name? I haven’t asked you yet. Want to come with me?” the monstrous dragon shouted before leaving.

Chu Feng said, “My name is Ji Dade. I won’t go with you. We’ll meet again if fate allows, or you can find me in this vast wilderness. I’m sure within a few years, my name will be known throughout this desolate borderland!”

“Alright, my name is Dayu. You’re Dade. What a coincidence!” The monstrous dragon said as it fled with a few young dragons. “See you again someday!”

“Alright, see you again if fate allows, brother,” Chu Feng shouted. “I’ll help you hold off the pursuers.”

“Good brother, I’ll give you a great fortune someday!” Long Dayu exclaimed, then vanished from sight.

Chu Feng leisurely strolled, appearing in the first small world space. He finally found Gouwa, Little Crow, and the others. They were all recuperating from injuries, having almost died and each suffering severe wounds.

“Brothers, how are you all?” Chu Feng asked.

“Ji Dade?!” the Taiwu lineage prodigy roared in anger.

Chu Feng sneered, “What are you shouting about? All of you, squat there with your heads in your hands! You’re all my captives now. If you want to live, the men will warm my bed, and the women will be my servants. Bah, I said that backward!”

Outside the dragon’s nest, some old fellows were discussing, all with smiles.

“Speaking of which, a few days have passed,” one said. “I wonder how things are inside, but I think our clan’s Kirin child should be fine and will surely triumph in the end.”

“Hmm, no need to say more,” another responded. “The Taiwu lineage successor is the strongest and will naturally reign supreme!”

“I, however, think our clan’s Little Crow will thrive the most comfortably.”
