Feiyun’s physical prowess prevented any long-term damage. He recovered swiftly and said: “There is a dark portal under there, the destination must be an extraordinary place.”
“You still want to go?” The turtle was surprised.
Feiyun created a saber this time with his weapon essence: “I’m certain that the portal has something to do with the secrets of Bronze Cauldron, maybe that’s the path to the demonic treasury. Instead of waiting for it to open, we should take the initiative.”
In reality, he also worried about the destructive invaders. The seven vessels have begun to show themselves - meaning that the prophecy of Immemorial Divine Phoenix was coming true. Time was running out.
He knew so little about these invaders. The grave of the phoenix might have more answers.
“Brother Feng is right, you have my support.” Ximen Chuixiao said.
Feiyun didn’t attack right away and started planning with the group first. After a long time, they came to the desert again.
“Uncle, are we really going to fight that devil dragon?” The fruit trembled while rolling on the sand.
“Laoshi, don’t be frightened by your grandpa’s words. Men have things they should and should not do in life. We drink and enjoy lovers during times of peace but one day, when the sky falls down, we must still courageously push the sky up despite being aware of our weakness.” Feiyun said casually.
“A real hero.” The fruit’s eyes lit up.
“Not to that level, it’s just responsibility.” Feiyun shook his head and swung his saber, splitting the desert again. Sand streamed down the crack like waterfalls.
“Go!” The fruit turned into a black beam and made a nice curved entrance to the crack, allowing Feiyun to ride it.
“Evil dragon, I’m here again!” He shouted.
The turtle, dragon, and Ximen Chuixiao also descended while keeping a good distance away from Feiyun.
“He’s gonna be eaten, right?” The dragon whispered.
Ximen Chuixiao pushed the dragon back into his pocket before responding: “There is a strange power suppressing this land, nothing above Heaven’s Emergence can be used. Brother Feng’s dao comprehension is inferior but his physical power is similar.”
The battle finally started in front of them.
Feiyun was as tiny as an ant but his power was impressive, destroying dozens of scales with each palm strike.
“Raa! Lowly half-demon, you still dare to fight me?!” The black dragon exuded a boundless aura, capable of breaking the sky.
Feiyun’s inner core rotated continuously and surrounded him with saint energy. He cut through the chains, wanting to slice one of the dragon’s eyes.
Just one eye alone had a diameter of ten thousand meters, looking like a blue planet.
“Boom!” Chilling energy in the shape of little dragons flew out of the eye.
However, the fruit was awfully agile and dodged all of them. This was perilous since being hit by one of the strands would result in being frozen and helpless against the dragon.
He finally slashed the eye but it only left a small hole. Nonetheless, the angered dragon swung its claw at Feiyun.
“Half-demon, you have done it now! I will massacre all half-demons and humans!” The entire mountain shook violently.
Even Jin was affected by earthquakes. Mountains and palaces collapsed everywhere.
Feiyun and the fruit traversed the obstacles and attacked again: “You won’t have the chance since I will kill you today!”
During their battle, the others quietly moved through the chains to reach the black portal.
It towered for ninety-nine meters and was made from unknown materials. When the dragon touched the door, it immediately became frozen.
Meanwhile, Feiyun summoned all of his treasures for an ultimate attack, pushing the dragon back.
“Tribulation Break! Heaven!” He struck the dragon’s head with a lightning palm strike.
Numerous bolts descended as if this was the start of a new world.
The first level of Tribulation Break was Earth, the second was Death, and the third was Heaven.
“How can Feiyun be so strong? To actually overwhelm this dragon. The overlords from the dragon race will have to rethink their worldview.” The turtle couldn’t believe it.
After the ninth Heaven attack, the dragon had smoke oozing out of its body. Its scales deteriorated into black powder.
Feiyun was extremely fatigued as well but he knew that the dragon was weaker. Stopping was not an option.
“Boundless Sea of Misery!” He formed a mudra with both hands and summoned a Buddhist ocean.
He stood inside like a sacred monk with numerous holy images. A halo appeared above him and gathered spirit energy from everywhere.
This was a top-level Buddhist technique only seen performed by the greatest monks. Feiyun learned it after fully understanding the fourth diagram of the Golden Silkworm Scripture.
It contained more mysteries of Buddhism and less ferocity when compared to Cosmic Seal.
The ocean surrounded the dragon and began affecting its mind. It grew smaller and smaller until it became just a single eye.
“Where’s the dragon now?” The fruit asked while looking at the huge eye still trapped by the chain.
Feiyun frowned and said: “The dragon had escaped long ago, this is just one eye left behind, a method to fool the seal like a cicada shedding its carapace. Moreover, it would potentially prevent whoever trapped it from noticing its disappearance.”
“Just one eye is this strong already? What about the real thing? It might be stronger than Lotus Saintess then.” The fruit said.
“We cannot speculate beings of their level. Of course, they cultivated earlier than us. Just wait another several thousand years and I’ll become a saint too. When I learn the supreme dao of this world, that’s when I’ll be able to take them on.” Feiyun smiled.
Eventually, the evil eye was purified by his Buddhist aura and became a resplendent jewel the size of a fist. Inside was a tremendous source of energy.
He pointed it at the sky, releasing a beam shooting through the clouds and piercing an entire star. From the hole came destructive lava.
“Simply incredible, no wonder why the dragon was so feared.” Feiyun wanted to refine the eye into a treasure of his own.
Meanwhile, the others couldn’t come up with a way to travel through the portal.
“Stay back, let me try.” Feiyun shot out another blue beam with the eye straight at the black portal..
