Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 282 The Battle of Two Dragons
The Azure Dragon Lord has roamed the underground for hundreds of years and has never been afraid of anyone.

Even when facing someone as mysterious and unpredictable as Youluozi, he was confident that he could resist her allure.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Returning to Emptiness Realm, methods of deceiving people become much less effective.

If facing an enemy head-on, the Azure Dragon Lord's half-dragon body is also extremely powerful, almost indestructible.

Back in Rift Sky Mountain, he fought three sect leaders alone. They were all at the Returning Void Realm. Even the Azure Dragon Venerable only suffered minor injuries. In comparison, the other two sect leaders were more seriously injured than him.

It is evident that even though the Demonic Sect has been hiding underground for thousands of years, the difference between the true masters is not that great.

Unless, of course, you encounter someone with extraordinary talent.

If Chen Ye hadn't appeared out of nowhere to redefine the cycle of reincarnation, Qu Heng would have been a typical protagonist destined by fate.

He was orphaned and burdened with deep hatred in his youth, but then he had a miraculous encounter and was highly talented. He cultivated himself bravely and diligently, never seeking revenge overnight and killing without blinking an eye.

Despite being from the demonic sect, and even being a descendant of the nearly extinct Crimson Serpent Demonic Sect, he manipulated the five major sects at will, conveniently swindled the Nirvana Sect, and used them to his advantage to have them molded into a snake Buddha...

All these things combined make for the perfect protagonist destined for greatness.

However, their vision is somewhat limited, and they ultimately cannot escape the old-fashioned life goal of cultivating oneself and ascending to immortality.

However, old tricks have their advantages; when the old devil was fighting, he really didn't hold back at all.

With a single glance, the Crimson Dragon Buddha wiped out most of the Azure Flood Dragon Lord's followers, then bit down and swallowed him whole.

The poor Azure Dragon Lord was in so much pain that he lost the ability to think and couldn't withstand the attack at all. He was immediately bitten in the mouth by the Crimson Serpent Buddha, whose venomous fangs pierced his skin and injected venom into him.

The Azure Dragon Lord let out a mournful roar, and its body suddenly swelled up, quickly transforming into a dragon comparable in size to the Crimson Dragon Buddha.

The Azure Dragon Lord spat out a torrent of azure poisonous water, which landed on the Crimson Dragon Buddha.

The poisonous water, capable of neutralizing spiritual energy, caused large plumes of smoke to rise from the Crimson Dragon Buddha. This smoke was the corroded spiritual energy, leaving the dragon Buddha dilapidated and broken.

But these injuries only lasted for a moment. The next instant, all the rising smoke was absorbed back, and the Crimson Dragon Buddha was as if he had never been injured.

"Little tricks!"

Qu Heng's voice came from the Dragon Buddha.

These poisonous waters can indeed corrode spiritual energy, dissolving bones, flesh, and soul. However, the Crimson Dragon Buddha is formed from incense and prayers, and in terms of unpredictability, it is even more powerful than Chen Ye, who has mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

If Chen Ye could control his movements with ease, how could Qu Heng not be able to do the same?

The corrupted spiritual energy will be transformed back in the blink of an eye, making up for the losses of the Crimson Dragon Buddha.

This is the Northern Frontier, the Fengdu City of the Yellow Springs Sect, a place where millions of people gather their incense offerings. Even if Qu Heng does nothing, the Crimson Serpent Dragon Buddha has a continuous stream of incense offerings and prayers to support him. It is impossible for the Azure Dragon Lord to dissolve this deity.

The Azure Dragon Lord, using some unknown secret technique, temporarily endured the excruciating pain tearing at his abdomen, focusing all his attention on fighting the Crimson Dragon Buddha.

Two dragons intertwined and flew into the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Endless thunder roared from the clouds, and lightning illuminated the night as bright as day.

The entire city of Fengdu was awakened, and the city's protective array began to operate, shutting out the tremors and lightning.

As expected of one of the supreme beings of the Demonic Sect, the Azure Dragon Lord's every movement of his dragon body could cause the wind and clouds to change color, and every time he opened his mouth and flicked his tail, he unleashed endless magical attacks.

Thunder, torrents, frost, hurricanes... all sorts of spells rained down on the Crimson Dragon Buddha, completely engulfing its massive body.

The spell cast in that instant was as if hundreds of cultivators had joined forces, its power and momentum were immense.

The aftershocks of the spell alone tore through the clouds, turning the sky within a hundred miles into chaos.

But the Crimson Dragon Buddha seemed oblivious, charging headlong into the barrage of spells, biting the Azure Dragon Lord's body, and then tightly coiling around him.

No fancy moves are needed; it's simply biting and coiling, just like the hunting techniques of the Red-banded Serpent. When your magical power far surpasses your opponent's, no skill is required; you can simply break through magic with brute force.

The Azure Dragon struggled frantically, and more thunder and snow fell. A heavy snow fell outside Fengdu City in a short time, which was then turned into scorched earth by the thunder. Finally, a torrential rain fell and completely froze it.

However, thanks to the protective array, Fengdu City remained calm. But both the living and the spirits were frightened and left their homes to watch the battle of the dragons.

At this point, the people of Fengdu realized what it meant to live with ghosts.

Although they were all weak mortals, all they could see when they looked up were countless lightning bolts appearing and disappearing, and two huge dragons entangled together. But even mortals could tell that the red one was much more powerful.

The Crimson Dragon Buddha held the Azure Dragon's neck tightly and never let go, its body tightening its grip as if trying to cut the Azure Dragon into pieces, even causing its belly to cave in deeply.

The Azure Dragon Lord frantically spewed out poisonous water, as if this was his last resort.

However, the poison water had a negligible effect on the Crimson Dragon Buddha, at most causing more smoke to rise from his body, which did nothing to help the battle.

Just as the Crimson Dragon Buddha was about to completely annihilate the Azure Flood Dragon Lord, the Azure Flood Dragon Lord suddenly spat out a filthy mass. This disgusting piece of trash was bombarded by a sky full of lightning and then fell to the ground.

This shouldn't have affected the Crimson Dragon Buddha's actions at all, but for some reason, the Crimson Dragon Buddha, who clearly had the upper hand, suddenly relented, flew towards the filthy thing, carefully scooped it up with his dragon tail, and then gently placed it on the ground.

Once the Azure Dragon was free, it flew towards the sky and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the heavens and was fleeing madly.

The Crimson Dragon Buddha then turned his head, staring intently at the Azure Dragon Lord, and began to utter low murmurs.

The azure dragon, which was almost flying to the horizon, suddenly froze and plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

Even though it was several miles away, the enormous sound and vibration still reached Fengdu City.

Crimson Dragon Buddha leaped into the sky and chased after the falling azure dragon.

They quickly entangled it again, and the two enormous creatures were locked in a fierce battle once more, as if they were about to fight to the ends of the earth.

At this moment, Chen Ye, Pang Duoduo, and Mo Suixin scrambled to their feet amidst the filthy mess of the dragon's vomit on the ground.

The Crimson Dragon Buddha released the Azure Dragon just now to save people.

The Azure Dragon Lord wasn't stupid either. From the beginning, he wasn't just spitting out poisonous water to fight the enemy, but also to vomit out Chen Ye from his stomach.

However, the Water-Avoiding Pearl completely isolated the three of them, and the Azure Dragon Lord could not sense Chen Ye's location at all. He could only endure the pain while fighting with the Crimson Serpent Buddha, and then vomit up everything he could.

At first, he only vomited poisonous water. Later, probably because the battle was too intense, the Azure Dragon Lord's stomach was in complete chaos. He vomited out most of the mud, sand, and bones, and then vomited them out along with Chen Ye and the other two.

These water-repelling beads can only repel water, but they can't stop mud and sand.

Qu Heng naturally sensed that his grand-disciple had been spat out, and fearing that the aftershocks of their fight would kill Chen Ye, he temporarily released the Azure Dragon and rescued Chen Ye first.

But even the Azure Dragon Lord couldn't escape.

His body had already been injected with too much of the deadly venom of the red-banded snake.

This toxin is not fatal, but it is enough to erode the soul, and when it takes effect, it makes the Azure Dragon Lord faint.

The Crimson Dragon Buddha chased after it, once again entangling the Azure Dragon, and then tearing large chunks of flesh from its body and swallowing them.

Since Chen Ye had already escaped, the Crimson Dragon Buddha had no reason to hold back.

Amidst a series of shrill screams, the Azure Dragon Lord's body was completely torn apart, revealing his stark white bones.

Chen Ye flew high into the air, gazing at this scene from afar.

Chen Ye sighed, "We've finally killed that devil."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Youluozi's voice rang in Chen Ye's ears: "Sect Master Chen, you underestimate us demons. Don't be fooled by how miserable Qingzun is; it's far from enough to kill him."
