Chapter 92 Drawing the Calamity, Hunting the Serpent!
"We're too late! The bloodstains have disappeared! Sure enough, the dragon has colluded with the extremely yin energy of the Cold Moon Cave!"
The viper's eyes held a hint of resentment.
Hai Shigong suddenly suggested, "Fellow Daoist, we are not at a disadvantage now. If you don't mind having a few more fellow Daoists to share the secrets of the True Dragon, I do have a few close friends!"
Upon hearing this, the viper's expression changed slightly, then it gritted its teeth and said, "Then we'll invite it, and we'll share the secrets of the true dragon! We must break through the Cold Moon Cave and capture that dragon alive!"
After discussing it, the two went east out of Pingjiang again, preparing to invite their friends once more.
...
Cold Moon Cave
The dragon, its body shrouded in black mist, sat coiled in the center of Chen Chunan's courtyard.
After forcibly suppressing the serpent's venom with the Dragon Pearl, the dragon quickly spoke:
"Chen Chunan, what backup plans do you have? Make your move now!"
The viper is convinced that I possess the secret of the true dragon, and will surely invite its friends to plot against me.
They currently only have three Nascent Soul cultivators: the Viper, the Black Snake, and the Sea Stone Elder.
The Sea Stone King's true form is a stone fish, and it should be adept at using poison. Its strength is probably comparable to that of the Chi Dragon.
"If you fight now, you still have a chance of winning. If you wait any longer, you will surely face annihilation!"
Upon hearing this news, Han Yuqiu immediately declared, "I'll go inform Jian Chenjiu and the others to gather immediately and prepare for the tribulation!"
Having said that, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light and vanished.
Chen Chunan saw that the dragon was beginning to emanate a murderous aura, and he felt very bad because the situation was starting to get out of control.
Now both sides are increasing their stakes for victory, and things are likely to escalate further.
What started as a matter of eliminating water demons within Jiangzhou has now become increasingly uncontrollable, involving overseas alien cultivators.
Suppressing his unease, Chen Chunan looked at the dragon and asked, "How are your injuries? Do you need my help?"
The dragon shook its head: "Your magic is of no help. I can handle it myself. It's just that I can't help you for the time being."
Chen Chunan nodded, then summoned the three clan elders, the seven clan elders, Hongxian, and Chen Yunling.
The three elders looked at Chen Chunan and asked, "Clan leader, has something serious happened?"
"The extermination of the viper may need to be brought forward, and the journey may not be smooth sailing, but you need not worry too much. I have my own ways to protect your lives. Do not be stingy with the cultivation resources of the immortal seedlings in the clan. Spend those spirit stones as needed and strive to help them all establish their foundations as soon as possible."
The three elders said worriedly, "I will make proper arrangements, clan leader. If things don't go well, you should prioritize your own safety and not act recklessly. This kind of thing should be done by Nascent Soul True Monarchs."
Hongxian couldn't help but step forward and wrap her arms around Chen Chunan's waist, burying her head in his chest: "Brother, Hongxian is so useless. I've been working so hard to cultivate, but I still can't help you at all."
"Don't talk nonsense. You've already done very well. It's just that your brother ran too fast and shouldn't have left you behind. Be a good boy and cultivate diligently. Your brother is only going to subdue demons and monsters, which will bring you merit."
Chen Yunling didn't speak, but Chen Chunan could sense her worry.
After settling things at home, Chen Chunan called Chi Mianxi, and with a flash of sword light, they both left Hanyue Cave.
Upon closer inspection, all four True Lords were already in place.
Sword Dust True Monarch was sitting cross-legged in the air, his hands crossed as he cast a spell.
After about three to five breaths, Jian Chen exclaimed with delight, "Found him! He's heading towards Canglan Prefecture!"
"They must have gone to find help! Are they planning to rob us now?"
Han Yuqiu felt a slight urgency and turned her head to look at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen hardened his heart: "Lead him! We absolutely cannot let him recruit any more helpers!"
Chen Chunan asked, "Then how should I attract this calamity?"
Xue Yue's expression turned solemn: "I also possess a great supernatural power called 'Shallow Mountains and Rivers,' which can take everyone flying above the viper!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Chen nodded, then made a hand seal, and a mysterious force descended from the sky.
Chen Chunan felt like a mayfly in the sea under this divine will, and his heart tightened involuntarily.
The aura of calamity emanating from the five people present, including himself, grew stronger and stronger from its original faintness.
Lower reaches of Pingjiang River
The viper, which was preparing to set sail, suddenly sensed that it had been locked onto by fate and was instantly terrified.
"Oh no! How could I be targeted by fate? I clearly... no, someone has triggered my calamity!"
The viper, no longer concerned about going out to sea, emerged from the riverbed and fully extended its three-hundred-foot-long body, coiling in the air and staring intently upstream.
"Fellow Daoist Hui! Why are you suddenly undergoing tribulation?"
Hai Shigong stared in horror at the increasingly terrifying aura of the tribulation clouds.
"Big brother, what should we do?"
"What to do? Wait! The calamity energy is gathering but not yet unleashed; it needs a trigger! Those three upper sects are truly cunning; no wonder they dared to attack me! They actually wanted to use the Dragon Transformation Tribulation to harm me!"
"Shall we lie in ambush first?"
"The Black Snake hides above, while the Sea Stone Elder hides at the bottom of the river. Once the five Nascent Soul cultivators appear, prioritize killing the one who brought the calamity!"
Hai Shigong's eyes flashed: "Rest assured, fellow Daoist! I will do my utmost!"
The black snake was also nervous, but it was as close as brothers with the viper, so it gritted its teeth and said, "Alright, just wait and see how I devour him!"
They were all aware of the heavy karma on the viper's body, and this tribulation of transformation into a dragon might not be easy for him.
On the other side, after Jian Chen finished drawing the tribulation, Xue Yue's nascent soul emerged from his body. The tiny figure, resembling an infant, held a phantom sword in its hand, and with a single strike, it shattered a spatial rift.
Xue Yue's nascent soul returned to his body, and with a flick of his sleeve, he instantly brought the five of them above the snake and the others.
The snake, which had been watching the area for some time, noticed the six people as soon as they appeared.
It's here after all! If we can kill the one who brought this calamity upon us, half of it will be averted!
"Those three brats! They only dare to resort to underhanded tricks!"
The Taoist priest laughed loudly, "Do we need to talk about fairness and justice with you barbaric people and demons?"
Chen Chunan naturally heard the snake's words as well.
Hidden among the five Nascent Soul cultivators, he boldly activated a wisp of Dan Qi and Yin Sha Qi in the Yellow Court.
In an instant, the Qi Thunder took shape, and the Yin and Yang Qi of Heaven and Earth, like weary birds returning to the forest, surged into Chen Chunan's palm.
A sphere of Yin and Yang energies slowly took shape.
Upon seeing this, the viper knew that Chen Chunan, who was being guarded by the five people in the middle, was the one who had brought about the calamity. It immediately let out an angry roar, and dozens of bolts of dark lightning rushed straight towards Chen Chunan.
"It's you again, you brat! You keep ruining my plans! Today I'll kill you!"
"Having cultivated virtue exceeding eight hundred, and accumulated merit in secret exceeding three thousand, the precious talisman descends to the heavens, and you ride in a phoenix chariot! You wish to kill me? Coincidentally! I also wish to use your karma to accumulate my merit! By the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding Thunder of the Nine Heavens, the Jade Pivot vanquishes the demon!"
Chen Chunan shouted and threw the already formed Yin-Yang Qi Thunder Ball, which was locked onto the viper, directly out.
As soon as the Jade Pivot Divine Thunder left his hand, the Yin and Yang energies in the world were completely activated, and a dark bolt of heavenly lightning quietly took shape.
Upon seeing this, the viper was terrified. It sank its body and tried to burrow into the bottom of the Pingjiang River.
However, guided by the calamity energy, the Jade Pivot Divine Lightning silently entered the river and struck the giant snake head of the viper with pinpoint accuracy.
Scales shattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a huge crack appeared at the base of the viper's proud single horn.
The Dragon Transformation Tribulation was abruptly triggered amidst the terrified gaze of the viper.
A heavenly tribulation thundercloud composed entirely of Jade Pivot Divine Thunder has fully taken shape.
A crimson karmic fire ignited from his divine court, burning him so intensely that even underwater, it caused him to spew fire from all seven orifices.
The three-hundred-foot-tall true form thrashed wildly, stirring up the river water that filled the sky.
"Aren't you going to make a move?"
Jian Chen's angry shout startled the four Nascent Soul cultivators who were still shocked by the Dragon Transformation Tribulation.
Han Yuqiu opened another silver eye between her brows, and a glint of light flashed, heading straight for the snake's vital spot.
Following closely behind was the Sake Master's Vermilion Bird Slash.
Chi Mianxi and Jian Chen went to find Hai Shigong and Hei Li respectively.
