Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 298 Azure Dragon Severely Injured, Returns Once Again

It was furious!
It originally thought that its actions had truly angered the gods of heaven and earth, who would then come to stop it.

Therefore, they are preparing to compromise and suffer this hidden loss.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that someone was just playing tricks and fooling them.

The key point is that the one who fooled him was one of the petty thieves who secretly sneaked into his lair, and the one he hated the most.

After all, the other party was the one who took the most treasures from his lair.

Overwhelmed by boundless rage, he leaped into the air, determined to overturn the altar and make this petty thief who had repeatedly tricked him pay with his life.

"Oops!"

Chen Yushu sat upright on the altar, and the moment his eyes met the other's, he understood.

Things have gotten tricky!

The other person saw themselves through the fog.

Once the ritual is performed and the true form is seen, it becomes extremely easy for the person to discover their true identity, which naturally makes many things more difficult to handle.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

The reason why Qinglong had repeatedly backed down and compromised was because he couldn't figure out Chen Yushu's background and could only be wary and give in.

Now that she knows his identity, and recalling the scene of being chased and killed by him, she naturally can no longer let him control her.

Therefore, Chen Yushu reacted quickly upon seeing this, and in the instant the other party took off, he slapped him!
The Subduing Yin Technique!

boom!
All of a sudden.

The azure dragon, which had just taken flight, felt an enormous hand inexplicably form in the void, pressing down on it like lightning.

It forcefully pressed down its just-rising body, causing its entire body to be knocked to the ground.

"How can this be?"

Azure Dragon was dumbfounded.

This force, while not causing much harm, is extremely humiliating.

It was as if it was just about to take off, but someone pressed its head down and forced it to the ground. The worst part was that it couldn't break free at all and was just pinned to the ground, unable to move for a while.

This is too humiliating.

Chen Yushu was somewhat surprised by this, but also felt it was normal.

Although Qinglong is a disaster-level demon spirit, his strength is not weak. Compared to the Dao Entry Night Wanderer Realm, although he is a step behind, his Yin Subduing Technique has long been cultivated to the perfect level.

Furthermore, with the added power of the altar, the already formidable spells will naturally become even more powerful.

It is perfectly normal to be able to do this.

"Roar!"

The Azure Dragon roared, a flash of azure light emanating from its body, and it broke free from the restraints of the Yin-Subduing Technique. Then, it immediately unleashed a mouthful of azure flame, blasting it forward.

Because the incense had run out and Xiao Hong also noticed that the mist was thinning, the other party had discovered Yu Shu's true form. Knowing that it was hopeless, it stopped throwing in the soul pearl in time.

Therefore, Chen Yushu's true form was now crystal clear in Qinglong's eyes, which made him even angrier.

As it spat out a mouthful of dragon eye, the dragon horns on its head also attracted a special power, transforming into a streak of emerald-green spiritual light, which also flew towards Chen Yushu.

"As expected of a true dragon, its strength is indeed formidable."

Fortunately, it's just a young dragon, so we can handle it!

Even after his true form was seen, Chen Yushu remained completely calm.

His initial plan was simple: if he could fool the Azure Dragon, that would be the best outcome.

In any case, he has already gained quite a lot from this trip.

Putting everything else aside, those spirit stones alone would be enough for him to cultivate for a long time, not to mention the spirit materials and spirit ores, which are all top-grade refining materials.

By simply combining a few items, one or two high-quality, or even top-quality, magical artifacts can be crafted.

If there are some skilled weapon refiners, they can even create magical artifacts.

The key point is that several of them can be used as materials for cultivators to refine their natal magic weapons.

A natal magic weapon is a weapon that a cultivator will begin to forge once they have reached a certain level of cultivation.

Generally, cultivators who have entered the Dao realm will begin preparations on the day they begin their journey.

Although the power of magic treasures may not be comparable to some precious artifacts or even magical artifacts, they can grow and improve along with the cultivator's strength.

Initially, it may not be as powerful as some top-tier magical artifacts, but as the cultivator's strength increases and the materials used for refining and smelting increase, the power of the magical artifact will become more apparent.

It is worth mentioning that the Hundred Ghosts Night Tour Book of the Hundred Ghosts Taoist is a top-level treasure, but its growth potential is definitely not as good as the Hundred Ghosts Long Dragon Whip, the natal magic weapon that the Hundred Ghosts Taoist himself refined.

Closer to home.

Now that we can't fool them anymore.

Then there's only one option: war.

With the opening of the altar, his strength will naturally undergo a tremendous change.

Not just himself.

Even the ghosts around him were like that.

Seeing that Qinglong had made a series of moves.

He was just a minor figure, like the King of Yelang.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying power was poured into it.

This also caused his aura and power to surge rapidly.

Late-stage peak of the Calamity level, early-stage of the Disaster level, mid-stage of the Disaster level...

It actually briefly boosted the strength of the King of Yelang to the mid-stage of the Disaster level.

At the same time, Chen Yushu's face also turned pale, and he felt that the Dao Yuan in his body was somewhat depleted.

While performing the ritual at the altar can greatly enhance his strength, it also consumes a tremendous amount of resources.

Just setting up a stall and opening an altar requires at least 30% of his Dao Yuan power. In battle, the more power he borrows, the greater his consumption will be.

It's one thing to lend power to the evil-faced demon and the red-haired corpse king, since they are relatively weak and therefore can't lend much power to them.

However, King Yelang was already a late-stage Ghost King of the Chong level. Forcibly raising its strength to the mid-stage of the Calamity level would naturally consume an enormous amount of energy.

It also drained the Dao Yuan within his body like flowing water in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, he quickly took out many high-grade Yuanqi Pills from his storage bag, swallowed them in one gulp, and then took out a relatively small but good-quality spirit stone.

This was naturally obtained from the Azure Dragon's Nest. Even though it was relatively small, it was still about the size of a human head. If broken down, it would be worth at least several hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Then he directly activated the Huangshan Visualization Method and began to absorb and refine it.

And also at this time.

In a flash, the King of Yelang stood in front of Chen Yushu and slapped him hard.

bump!
The azure flame was shattered by it, and then it charged directly at the dragon in the face of the azure light, its face showing a ferocious expression.

bump!
They collided with the Azure Dragon in an instant.

boom! boom! boom!
The two catastrophic beings immediately began a fierce battle.

Although Qinglong is only at the early stage of the Disaster level, the dragon demon spirits themselves are incredibly powerful, and it is not difficult for them to defeat the strong with the weak.

Its various exquisite dragon spells and combat techniques make it both fierce and composed when it attacks.

The King of Yelang, on the other hand, had the advantage of displaying greater power. He was at the mid-stage of the Disaster level, and every move he made was powerful and heavy, making loud thuds when he hit the Azure Dragon.

Moreover, as a lone ghost king, its growth experience can be described as a history of battles, possessing incredibly rich combat experience. When it has an absolute advantage in strength, this combat experience translates into actual combat power. Therefore, although it doesn't have corresponding disaster-level methods, it still managed to make the Azure Dragon roar in pain and quickly suppressed it.

At this moment, Chen Yushu's internal energy had just recovered somewhat, and without any hesitation, he frequently intervened.

He uses the Subduing Yin Technique, the Seven Star Steps, the Pointing Yin Sword, and occasionally the Divine Descent Technique.

Instantly, the dragon's scales flew everywhere, and dragon blood was blasted out.

This battle was extremely large in scale.

Although Chen He and the others in the distance dared not approach, they were still greatly alarmed by the commotion and felt immense awe for the methods of a True Person level expert.

"Roar!"

Soon, the aura emanating from the Azure Dragon was no longer as strong as before, and it began to weaken.

It roared loudly, seemingly dissatisfied and even more unwilling.

However, the strength of that ghost king, as well as Chen Yushu's intervention, left him somewhat helpless.

"All of you, attack together!"

Then, Chen Yushu roared again, pointing at the Flying Blood Zombie, the Pig Demon Elephant, Zhu Jiuzhi, Zhuge Xun...

A terrifying aura immediately rose from their bodies.

Among them, the Pig Demon Elephant was the weakest, only at the peak level of evil spirits, but with the blessing of this altar, it quickly rose to the early stage of the evil spirit level, and then to the middle stage of the evil spirit level.

The Flying Blood Zombie experienced a relatively larger increase in strength.

From the initial stage of the Demonic level, it jumped directly to the late stage of the Demonic level.

Zhu Jiuzhi and Zhuge Xun's auras also improved significantly, reaching the mid-stage of the Demonic level.

The reason why the improvement varied is that even after replenishment, the Dao Yuan within Chen Yushu's body was still somewhat insufficient.

But these already powerful ghosts joined the battlefield.

This immediately gave the already dominant Yelang King even greater momentum. His attack struck the Azure Dragon, sending flesh and blood flying everywhere. Even one of the dragon's horns snapped off by one of his attacks.

"Ouch..."

The Azure Dragon cried out in sorrow.

It never expected that the seemingly weak thief could unleash such formidable power.

These ghostly spirits, which were originally like ants, could be easily killed by it, but under the opponent's spell, their combat power soared.

Even though it was a dragon with a strong physique and mastered dragon magic, it still suffered greatly in this battle, and its aura weakened considerably.

It wanted to back down, but the pride of the dragon race prevented it from bowing its head.

After withstanding another attack from the King of Yelang, it suddenly let out a mournful cry, quickly soared into the sky, and flew away.

However, in terms of speed, although it is fast, it is still somewhat inferior to the Flying Blood Zombie.

Not to mention that the Flying Blood Zombie had already been upgraded by Chen Yushu to the late stage of the Demonic level, making it even faster.

Once the Ghost Escape technique is used, it can instantly traverse a distance of several dozen feet.

With a single Ghost Escape, the Flying Blood Zombie rushed above its head and viciously plunged its claw into its neck.

It directly tore off a piece of flesh and blood.

But the Azure Dragon ignored everything, shook its body again, and flew into the sky.

Ten zhang, twenty zhang, thirty zhang...

High in the sky, the atmosphere was different, and because the Azure Dragon had previously used the Wind and Rain Summoning Technique, there was a thunderous aura brewing within it. Once stimulated by the Yin energy, it would immediately manifest and annihilate it.

Therefore, when the Flying Blood Zombie chased it to nearly sixty feet and sensed the gathering of lightning power in the void, it quickly turned back.

This thunderous power is the thunder of heaven and earth, and the destructive power it contains is even stronger than that of magic. Naturally, it does not want to try it.

The Azure Dragon roared and howled in anger.

For a moment, it dared not fly down, and while lingering there, it had no choice but to fly away into the distance.

"They've driven them back!"

Seeing this, Chen Yushu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The method of opening the altar is naturally extremely powerful.

But it can't actually last.

Besides the excessive consumption of his Dao Yuan, the various materials he used for setting up stalls also faced considerable pressure.

After the battle, many of the array flags and talismans that were being manipulated around the area were showing cracks. The more intense the battle, the wider the cracks would become, until they completely collapsed.

At that time, the power of the altar will be greatly reduced, and naturally the strength of each ghost spirit will also drop instantly.

With this shift in power, the battle between him and the Azure Dragon will also be reversed.

Without the help of the altar, he was no match for the Azure Dragon, even with the help of ghosts like the King of Yelang.

Disaster level! Disaster level!
They're not so easy to deal with.

Not to mention a powerful being like Azure Dragon, who is at the Disaster level.

Therefore, seeing the other party escape, Chen Yushu actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he quickly collected all the ritual implements and other items used in opening the altar, as well as the dragon blood and other remnants on the ground.

These are all good things.

He was about to leave when his gaze turned toward the direction the Azure Dragon had gone.

After this battle, the opponent clearly didn't dare to come back for a while, otherwise, given the strength he had just displayed, he would have very likely killed it.

"If that's the case."

Am I able to return to its lair once more?

Chen Yushu may be cautious in his actions at times, but when he feels the risk is relatively small, he is incredibly bold.

So, the movement of turning back paused slightly.

Then he moved quickly and approached the riverbank, soon disappearing inside.

As no one continued to inject blood into the river, the filthy blood gradually began to fade.

Although there is still a lot, it is not as concentrated as it was at the beginning.

Of course, this has little impact on Chen Yushu.

He quickly dived into the water, and then, supported by the spirits of Yelang King and others, rushed at an extremely fast speed towards the bottom of the river, towards the location of the Azure Dragon's lair.

The journey was smooth and without any obstacles.

He soon saw it: outside the riverbed, a huge dragon egg lay there quietly.

As for the other treasures, he had already looted them all, so there was no need to worry about them.

Soon, Chen Yushu touched the dragon egg and could clearly feel a powerful pulsation coming from inside.

This is the dragon seed inside, 'breathing' and rapidly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to aid its growth.

This indicates that it is a live egg and cannot be put into the storage bag; it can only be carried back by lifting it.

This obviously doesn't work.

At least for Chen Yushu, it simply wouldn't work.

Not to mention the divine dragons that still roam around.

If someone were to see this, it would surely tempt others to try and take advantage of him.

He certainly didn't want to go through that trouble!
