The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 349 True Monarch!

Li Zhenyue stood firm, supporting the enemy. The moonlight and the morning light faced each other in the sky. As a member of the Xuanguan Zhanglei military lineage, even in the Shuofang Army, he had never experienced such a long and intense battle.

Moreover, this time is different from the past—

In the past, he was an elite general of the Shuofang Army. He was surrounded by other Xuan officials and elite soldiers. He was like a sharp blade, moving with ease on the battlefield.

But this time, apart from him, there were very few Xuan officials here.

Li Zhenyue looked back and saw the state soldiers gritting their teeth, and some ordinary people also stepping up. Li Zhenyue exhaled and looked ahead. At this moment, everyone in their elite squad was on their own battlefield.

He wasn't like Shen Cangming, a warrior with a fierce aura and a calm mind, nor was he like Xuan Zhuzi, who possessed exceptional medical skills. He could only do what he could. He saw figures leaping towards him in the shadows that the moonlight couldn't reach.

Li Zhenyue exhaled, tore off a corner of his battle robe, and tightly bound his hands and the shield handle. Then, he forcefully stimulated his already depleted meridians and took half a step forward—

Don’t retreat!

A local army led by a human general clashed with the elite water tribes, both roaring and howling, exploding in layers of bloody light.

…………

The blood-red light flowed, only to be cleaved apart by the golden, malevolent energy.

Jin Tianwang was very calm. He had great greed and desire, but he also had the calm and restraint of a top-level being. He wanted the treasure, so he stopped Zhou Yan from refining it. He also wanted a clear mind, so he attacked the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

The shell of the ancient dragon turtle is already a top-notch defensive structure.

Moreover, the Primordial Dragon Turtle is a standard third-grade ancient god and demon, and with the blessing of Gonggong's water element, it is even more powerful than before.

Although his internal organs were emptied by the Great Sun Fire accumulated by Zhou Yan, rendering him unable to operate the Dharma Realm, Gonggong's Water Element Power also greatly enhanced all aspects of his being.

The ancient dragon turtle withstood an encirclement. Looking at Langzhong, the moonlight and the sun shone brightly. Its own descendant was also shot dead by an arrow. In the clouds, Ao Xuantao, the dragon, and the green lion roared continuously, suppressing the aquatic creatures on all sides.

Only the last remaining elite aquatic creatures led by the white ape have a chance.

But even with such an opportunity, the chances are only fifty-fifty.

Are you going to lose?

Even if the seal is broken by the God Gonggong, will it still be lost?! The Primordial Dragon Turtle only felt that there were blazing flames burning inside its body, but it was not the stinging pain of the Great Sun True Fire burning its internal organs.

It was a flame born from an intense and overwhelming sense of resentment.

Unwilling, unwilling to accept that his rebirth had failed again, unwilling to let the deity Gonggong return empty-handed...

How could we possibly be defeated by your human race again after thousands of years?!
The Primordial Dragon Turtle roared, and this time, it swallowed Liu Xuande's jade talisman avatar directly into its belly. With its vast water elemental divine power, it crushed Liu Xuande's avatar. Zhang Fei's battle intent avatar let out a thunderous roar and stepped forward.

However, the gap was ultimately too large, and the body formed from incense smoke crumbled.

However, as a price, the Primordial Dragon Turtle also suffered several blows. It watched Shen Cangming catch Zhang Fei's eighteen-foot spear, looked at the dancing Golden Crow of the Sun, and saw Zhou Yan tempering his divine weapon. It saw its own failure and desperate situation.

This physical defeat and death is nothing!
However, the plan of the revered god Gonggong absolutely cannot fail—

The ancient dragon turtle made a decision in its heart.

How could he be someone who cowardly fears death? With a determined heart, he unleashed his powerful blood and qi, along with the clear water elemental power, and once again shoved Shen Cangming aside, heading straight for the Golden Heavenly King. The Golden Heavenly King's murderous aura transformed into a spear, slashing down fiercely.

In fact, if the spear had pierced flesh, it would have torn open a large wound, but the Primordial Dragon Turtle resisted with its own armor, shattering the true form of the Golden Heavenly King.

Then, raising its head and with layers of supernatural powers, it bit down on the image of the Golden Heavenly King.

The power of water element bursts out.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle roared with its head held high, and the Gonggong Water Element around its body coiled around it like a venomous snake, surging into the body of the Golden Heavenly King and forcibly pouring it in. Layers of water element burst forth, and the Golden Heavenly King struggled continuously, gripping the ancient sword in his right hand and constantly bombarding the Primordial Dragon Turtle's head.

"Let go, let go!"

The scales shattered, and holes appeared all over its head.

Finally, the Azure Lotus Sword Qi pierced through like a dragon, and Zhou Yan had to intervene, which finally made the Primordial Dragon Turtle feel the pain and shake off the Golden Heavenly King. At this moment, Zhou Yan had to maintain the posture of tempering the divine weapon and could not stop, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain and he would turn into a lump of scrap iron.

The various materials were mixed together, rendering all these rare and precious resources useless.

The panting of the Golden Heavenly King and the Primordial Dragon Turtle rose and fell here. The Golden Heavenly King clutched his chest, sensing the changes within himself, and his expression became increasingly ferocious: "You, you!"

The face and body of the Golden Heavenly King were covered with fine, watery patterns.

His aura instantly transformed into that of an aquatic creature!
He was corrupted.

The ancient dragon turtle raised its head and roared, feeling both extreme pain and extreme pleasure.

"Hahaha, it's over!"

"I have transferred the divine power of my lord, the Venerable God Gonggong, to you. The Venerable God Gonggong is the source of all waters. Your soul has been branded with the Venerable God's mark. From this day forward, whether you agree or not, you will be the Venerable God's warrior..."

"And you will receive the power of the supreme god."

"The true essence of the primordial water god, a supreme treasure, is bestowed upon you."

The ancient dragon turtle's voice was as loud as thunder, and as it spoke, golden Great Sun True Fire flowed from its mouth—

He divided half of his own Gonggong Water Element power to infect the Golden Heavenly King.

This caused the Great Sun True Fire to gain the upper hand within his body, scorching him and accelerating his death. This time, it was no longer a seal, but rather like being thrown into the sun, resulting in the complete annihilation of his soul and spirit.

So what?
The ancient dragon turtle's eyes were pale and lifeless, as if burned by fire, yet it remained calm.

Faced with this situation, even if the power of the water god Gonggong could help him prolong his life for a longer period of time, it would be useless. Zhou Yan completed the forging of the weapon, the Golden Crow struck the divine bell, and the rear was completely stabilized. If any one of these three things happened, he would definitely fail.

Rather than relying on Gonggong's water element to eke out a living, it will not help the great cause!

Then, it would be better to abandon this body!
The remaining blessings of the water god Gonggong were poured into the unruly and greedy mountain spirit.

He would transform into Gonggong's warrior, then burn the rest of his life force to combine the power of the two and defeat Zhou Yan. By then, even if he had perished, Gonggong's plan would have been successful.

Even if he dies here, another top-tier warrior will return.

"Everything is for the sake of the revered god!"

The Golden King holds a sword in his right hand, while his left hand, with its five fingers spread, covers his face.

The divine markings of the water god Gonggong coiled, swirled, and spread throughout his body as if they were alive. Unfortunately, the Golden Heavenly King was not human and did not possess the chains of Yu the Great. He could roam freely, but he could not resist Gonggong's erosion.

A booming sound rang in my ears, like the thunder of thousands of turbulent streams colliding.

The Golden King seemed to see Gonggong watching him, his soul and consciousness feeling as if they were being churned by knives. The subservience imprinted on his soul made his body tremble.

This power is imprinted into one's soul.

The Golden Heavenly King's body blurred for a moment, gradually losing its human form and becoming an ugly mountain spirit with twisted lines appearing on its face, and blue water patterns deeply corroding its body.

Kai-ming looked displeased.

It's over.

I never expected that this old bastard would be so reckless!
Gonggong's infusion, equivalent to a first-grade primordial being, transferred his blood and power to Jin Tianwang. Even if Jin Tianwang's origins were merely a mountain spirit from a mountain, or even if he were the True Lord of the Western Peak, he would not be able to resist Gonggong's erosion.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle roared, "Join forces with me!"

The Golden Heavenly King trembled as he slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of blue water element flashing in them. His vision blurred completely, his field of vision became indistinct, and he roared like a mad beast, unleashing the power of water element as he pounced on Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan had no choice but to turn around abruptly, where sword energy and golden butterflies converged.

boom! ! !
Zhou Yan had to maintain the posture of forging a divine weapon. He was hit hard, his Dharma form shattered, and he crashed into the deep mountains. Even though his vision was almost black, Zhou Yan still did not let go of the weapon in his hand. He just gritted his teeth and spat out blood.

He used all his strength to fuse the two divine weapons together.

"Faster, faster!"

The Primordial Dragon Turtle also knocked Shen Cangming back, and it roared with its head held high.

"You damned turtle!" Zhou Yan accelerated the flow of his Dao Foundation, exerting all his strength. He unleashed his eight-armed, seven-form Buddha Dharma form, as if he were courting death, and slammed fiercely into the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

The ancient dragon turtle is enraged.

On the body of the Golden Heavenly King, the malevolent energy of Geng metal and the water element of Gonggong converge and fight.

Whether it was the voice of the Primordial Dragon Turtle or Zhou Yan's voice, everything seemed distant. King Jin knew for certain that he had been corrupted and controlled. He looked at his hands, his mind feeling as if a hole had been punched in it, and he was in constant pain.

Perhaps that's why distant memories from a thousand years ago are stirring up once again.

A blurry face appeared before me, smiling and reaching out its hand.

The mountain spirit gasped for breath. The face and voice were so distant that he had begun to forget them. But he still remembered when it was. He had become spiritually connected with the mountain rocks and was experiencing the beauty of this world for the first time. He climbed high and looked into the distance, and watched the rain from the spring.

However, it was recorded in the book "Baopuzi" by an old Taoist priest named Ge Hong.

It is said that the spirit of the mountain is shaped like a child with one foot, the foot pointing backward, and it likes to attack people... If you know this and call upon it, it will not dare to attack you. It is also called Chaokong, and can be called by both names.

He wasn't actually a child with only one leg; his leg was even ugly because it was turned upside down. However, his cultivation was low, his magical power was weak, and his transformation was poor. He never expected that during this transformation, he would be found by a Taoist priest who came by following the Taoist scriptures.

Just as he was about to be refined, a young apprentice medicine boy freed him and let him escape.

Taoist priests aren't necessarily good people. The young medicine boy who released this "heavenly treasure" was severely beaten by the Taoist priest and abandoned on the road, where he died. Before he died, the young Taoist priest reached out and touched his face.

Ah... that guy.

'Little stone, little stone...'

'Super Air, Super Air, hide well!'

'Don't let them find us again.'

Perhaps it was because of this distant memory that he showed mercy to Wang Wan'er.

The mountain spirit raised its head, its eyes shimmering with emerald light. The ancient dragon turtle was recklessly shoved aside by Zhou Yan, who shouted, "Hurry up and join forces!!" The mountain spirit roared and gripped the ancient sword.

It slashed fiercely at the ancient dragon turtle.

The torrent of sword energy, mixed with the energies of metal and water, crashed into the shell of the Primordial Dragon Turtle. The energy burst forth in ripples, and the golden and blue energy transformed into distorted streams of light in the sky.

The mountain spirit groaned.

The ancient dragon turtle was astonished.

In the second spiritual world, Gonggong's gaze fell downwards, and the water patterns on the mountain spirit's body surged even more violently. The imprint of the spirit's soul struggled to emerge, and the mountain spirit knelt on the ground, its body trembling.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle gazed at the mountain spirit under its control and said:
"You bear this mark and cannot resist."

"For a mountain spirit of low talent to have cultivated to this level, you are already quite good. Before the great path of my venerable god, you are too insignificant."

Insignificant?
The mountain spirit grinned maliciously, one hand supporting his knee and the other pressing against the ground. His body was filled with the malevolent energy of metal and the water element, and cracks appeared on his knees with a cracking sound. However, he managed to stand up.

"With such a small weight, such a slight sensation, you dare to call yourself the Great Dao!?"

"Gonggong?!"

The grotesque, twisted mountain spirit rose, its body trembling under the control and suppression of the water element. It raised a finger, pointing it at the phantom of a god before it, and arrogantly declared:

"That's right, it's the treasure I want to seize!"

The ancient dragon turtle looked at the mountain spirit who was staring at the oppressive and eroding Gonggong, and who was standing up and spouting nonsense. A trace of shock flashed in its eyes. It said slowly, "...So brave, my lord. I will die here and give this beast to you."

The ancient dragon turtle crashed into this place.

The power of the water god surged and poured into the mountain spirit's body.

Kaiming shouted, "Zhou Yan!!! Stop him!"

Assuming the Golden Heavenly King receives the true essence that Gonggong passed on to the Dragon Turtle...

Just as the supreme power of the water god was being poured into the mountain spirit's limbs and bones, an unprecedented aura of Geng metal rose up. That sharp energy actually tore apart the water element—no, it didn't tear it apart, but rather resisted the water element.

Golden, malevolent energy densely covered the mountain spirit's body.

He suddenly raised his head, and his pupils transformed into pure Geng metal killing energy.

Submitting to the water god? Actually, it's a good choice. For all living beings, and even the vast majority of humans who have a blood feud with Gonggong, in such a situation, they would probably choose to agree...

but!

I will never be a dog!
The evil energy of Geng metal circulated, and the mountain spirit raised its hand and struck its own brow fiercely, tearing its brow apart. A stream of vital energy circulated, like a palm, probing into its soul, and the right hand tightly grasped the divine power of Gonggong within its soul.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle exclaimed, "How is this possible?!"

The mountain spirit clutched its own primordial spirit, panting heavily. Its greed for survival and its fear of death ultimately transformed into an unyielding arrogance that surpassed all others. The strength of the strong lies in resisting a manipulated fate—

"I want to seize the treasure myself, your flesh and blood, and the authority that supports the Western Mountain..."

"And there's Gonggong, and everything else!"

The soul was infused with the malevolent energy of Geng metal, and then it crumbled inch by inch!
Self-rupture of the primordial spirit.

His primordial spirit collapsed, and golden Geng metal evil energy circulated around it. Water element had previously eroded the soul of the Golden Heavenly King, but now that he had torn his own soul apart, the water element naturally dispersed. The mountain spirit stretched out its hand, and golden evil energy circulated, trapping this mass of water element.

He raised his head and laughed loudly, "Good darling!!"

"Hahaha--"

He became Gonggong's divine general, but he was controlled by others.

His choice was in accordance with his true feelings.

I can die, but never in this way.

I can lose, I can run away, it's all my freedom and choice.

But I will never waver in my belief in destiny!

Grasping the spear formed from pure Geng metal evil energy, the mountain spirit, whose soul was beginning to crumble, now displayed the appearance of a True Lord dressed in white robes and silver armor. He did not notice that the Geng metal evil energy that permeated his body rose up and transformed into a majestic mountain range.

Only now, with unwavering and indomitable spirit, can we return—

True Lord of Mount Hua!

His gaze swept over Zhou Yan, and a murderous aura of metal surged into the sky.

The malevolent energy of Geng metal slammed fiercely into the shell of the ancient dragon turtle.

His soul dissipated, but the ancient dragon-turtle's shell was the strongest defense in the primordial era, impossible to break through. The dragon-turtle stared intently at the madman before it, who was completely out of control, and said:
"Even if your soul and spirit are shattered, you won't survive!"

The ugly mountain spirit laughed arrogantly and said, "Say something I don't know!"

Then the True Lord of the Western Peak chanted aloud:

"The Golden Sky rises steeply to guard the Cloud Pass, its ten thousand-foot-high frosty peaks cutting through the purple smoke."

"The roar of the tiger and the sound of the river swallow the sun and moon; the dragon coils on the mountain and testifies to the mysterious world."

"Stone boxes and jade slips seal the thunder and fire, iron sleeves and fierce winds sweep away the abyss of evil."

Who knocks on heaven and earth to inquire about calamity? The crimson sunset on the cliff is stained with blood.

"die."

"I'm dragging you along too!"
