Chapter 185 Dragon Nurturing Garden
The dizziness from the spatial shift lasted only a moment.
Chen Xu steadied himself, and a rich aura of water spirit mixed with an ancient and dilapidated atmosphere rushed towards him.
"Senior, be careful." Nan Longyue's voice was solemn. The azure dragon pattern between her brows shone with light, dispelling the thick darkness around her.
"Although I can control some of the Dragon Palace's power, the dangers it retains are unavoidable."
"The bloodthirsty aura and magnetic field are intertwined here, making it a truly dangerous place." Chen Xu's eyes narrowed slightly as the "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique" began to operate on its own.
A thin layer of dark blue water film covered his entire body, keeping the corrosive blood mist at bay.
At this moment, Nan Longyue conjured an ice crystal fish from her fingertip to guide the way: "Senior, the Dragon Transformation Vine only grows in the Dragon Nurturing Garden deep within the Dragon Palace ruins, and you need to pass through two ancient forbidden zones."
"The first challenge lies ahead: the Nine-Bend Dragon Corridor."
At the far end, nine bronze corridors inlaid with luminous pearls coiled like giant dragons.
At the center floats a formation eye composed of thousands of reverse scales.
"Flying and magic are forbidden here. One wrong step and you will be sent to the death zone." Nan Longyue bit her fingertip, and a drop of blood with golden threads seeped into the blue bricks on the ground.
Suddenly, a winding bloodline lit up between the bricks, forming half a dragon totem in front of the third corridor.
Nan Longyue said, "The bloodline guidance can only last for three breaths!"
"Let's go!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xu grabbed Nan Longyue and leaped into the bloodline passage.
The moment we passed through the Panlong Corridor, a deafening sound of chains snapping rang out.
The bronze floor tiles beneath their feet vanished into nothingness, and a towering wave of blood surged from the abyss into the sky.
Eight dragon skulls, resembling mountain peaks, gripped the chains, forming a floating bridge on the sea of blood.
"The second challenge, the Evil Dragon Lock." Nan Longyue's expression was solemn.
"These are powerful demons who failed to transform into dragons, their resentment lingering for thousands of years..."
Before he could finish speaking, his bony bridge trembled violently.
The soul-suppressing nails embedded in the dragon's bones fell off with a rustling sound, and the scarlet mist condensed into hundreds of dragon spirit cavalrymen wielding bone spears, their eye sockets flickering with ghostly green soul fire.
"A vengeful spirit in the early stage of Core Formation?!" Chen Xu's pupils contracted slightly.
"Senior, be careful!" Nan Longyue's pretty face turned pale, and the dragon pattern between her eyebrows shone brightly with azure light. A layer of tough water curtain instantly opened up in front of her and Chen Xu.
This was the limit of defense she could achieve by mobilizing the remaining authority of the Dragon Palace.
"Stay close to me!" Chen Xu shouted, advancing instead of retreating, and took a step forward to meet the destructive torrent of attack.
The longsword in his hand hummed and trembled, and under the activation of the "Mysterious Water Dragon Awakening Technique", it was covered with a layer of mysterious water spiritual energy with a faint dragon shape moving around it.
With a flick of his wrist, Chen Xu unleashed dozens of Xuan Shui sword energies.
Chen Xu's offensive was not as strong as that of a vengeful spirit in the early stage of Core Formation.
With Nanlongyue around, holding out for fifteen breaths and waiting for the [Ultimate Ascension] should not be a problem.
call out!call out!call out!
The first few bone spears, accompanied by a piercing shriek, crashed heavily against Nanlongyue's water curtain.
The water curtain caved in violently, but it barely managed to block the attack.
Meanwhile, Chen Xu's attack speed was increasing rapidly under the effect of the [Berserk Blade of the Light Version].
Fifteen breaths have passed.
A terrifying power suddenly erupted from Chen Xu's body, and his cultivation level was temporarily raised to the early stage of Core Formation.
The layer of mysterious water aura surrounding him instantly changed from deep blue to almost pitch black, thick and condensed, like a liquid armor of mysterious ice.
"Forming...forming the core?!" Nan Longyue stared wide-eyed at Chen Xu's transformation, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Chen Xu felt the surging power within him and slowly raised his right hand towards the raging torrent of vengeful spirits approaching from the front.
With fingers spread wide and palms facing down, he aimed at the churning, roaring sea of blood and dragons below.
Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique, Sea-Suppressing Seal!
hum...
The entire Nether Dragon Lock Space trembled violently, and the surging sea of blood was as if it had been forcefully pressed down by an invisible hand.
The eight enormous dragons, as large as mountains, seemed to be pressed down by billions of tons of water, groaning in pain.
The vengeful spirit cavalry floating in mid-air became incredibly slow, and even the soul fire flickering in their eye sockets seemed to be frozen.
Chen Xu clenched his fist, and the solidified sea of blood below exploded with a roar.
Eight enormous water columns, composed of Xuanming Heavy Water, surged upwards and violently struck the center of the skulls of the eight dragon heads.
That was the empty hole left after the original Soul-Suppressing Nail fell off.
Roar! ! !
The eight enormous dragon head skulls simultaneously let out a painful roar.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Like a chain reaction.
The vengeful spirit cavalry, imprisoned in the sky by the Zhenhai Seal, burst open one after another like punctured balloons.
The resentment that made up their bodies could no longer maintain its form and turned into large swaths of scarlet mist.
In the blink of an eye, the terrifying cavalry force composed of hundreds of early-stage Core Formation vengeful spirits vanished into thin air.
Only eight enormous dragon skulls remained, painfully floating in the sea of blood.
However, the resentment they released became chaotic and disordered, and could no longer be condensed into a cohesive form.
This poses no real threat to Chen Xu and Nan Longyue.
Nan Longyue stared blankly at the scene before her; the water curtain she had erected had already quietly dissipated when Chen Xu erupted.
Her cherry lips parted slightly as she looked at the figure suspended in mid-air in front of her, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
Late Foundation Establishment stage...instantly becomes Core Formation cultivator...
Then, with a wave of his hand, he suppressed hundreds of Core Formation vengeful spirits! ? ?
This was completely beyond her comprehension.
This is something that cannot be achieved through ordinary secret techniques or elixirs.
What earth-shattering secret is hidden within Senior Xu?
Chen Xu slowly withdrew his palm, and the terrifying black spiritual light around him gradually subsided.
His aura also dropped from the early stage of Core Formation back to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Let's go." He said calmly, his gaze fixed on the end of the bone bridge.
There stood a massive bronze door covered in thick layers of bloodstains.
"Ah...yes! Senior!" Nan Longyue replied hastily, as if waking from a dream, suppressing the turbulent waves in her heart.
She quickly activated the dragon pattern between her eyebrows, and a pure blue light shot out, landing on a dragon head ring in the center of the bronze gate.
creak...creak...
A heavy, grating scraping sound rang out, and the massive, rusty gate slowly opened a crack inward, revealing an even deeper and more ancient space.
Inside the door, there was an indescribable desolation and deathly silence.
The space was much more expansive than it appeared from the outside, as if it were its own little world.
"This is... Yulong Garden?"
Chen Xu looked around, his brows furrowing slightly.
Beneath our feet lay mottled, broken clods of earth, with massive crystal pillars standing amidst them, most of them broken and covered in thick dust and scale.
The air was thick with the smell of decay, mixed with a faint, almost imperceptible stench of blood.
In the center of the garden, there should have been a Dragon Pool where spiritual springs gathered, but now only a dry, cracked black pool bottom remains, with the cracks so deep that the bottom cannot be seen.
Surrounding the Dragon Pool, one can still vaguely see the carefully arranged array base from back then, the runes long since faded and even shattered.
