"Huh?!"
The canyon collapsed, the void shattered, and Mu Jinyu's expression was extremely grave. Then, with his left hand holding the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and his right the Dragon Spear, he leaped into the Divine Dragon's shadow!
The Divine Dragon Soul was formed by the luck of the Kunlun Ruins dragon veins. Within the range of the Kunlun Dragon Veins, the host could freely absorb the Dragon Qi for use.
But now, Mu Jinyu was in the depths of the Northern Region, within the Northern Plains. Even though the Kunlun Dragon Veins could extend here, it wouldn't be much farther, just a few roots remaining.
The Dragon Qi he could take in for himself was really too little...
But it was different for Jing Wang. The Ancestral Witch's Wraith she controlled was already extremely powerful, and they were fighting in the burial ground of the Blood Witch Ancestor, garnering an endless source of Deathly Qi, inherently holding an endless advantage.
If Mu Jinyu didn't possess two Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures and enhance his strength by practicing a more perfected "Dragon Transformation Scripture," he wouldn't have lasted until now.
And now, after he released the Divine Dragon Soul, the Ancestral Witch's Wraith seemed provoked, raging violently, with no one able to suppress it. Mu Jinyu also wasn't confident he could withstand this raging Ancestral Witch's Wraith!
But the master hadn't arrived yet, he could only fight!
"Burn your Dragon Bloodline!"
At this moment, the Little Ice Silkworm seriously reminded Mu Jinyu of how to handle the dire situation!
"Alright!"
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed, then turned resolute, and he began burning the Divine Dragon Blood in his body!
"Aoooh!"
Mu Jinyu's body merged into that of the Divine Dragon, and he burned the Divine Dragon Blood again.
Suddenly, a resounding and high-pitched dragon roar echoed, the Dragon's Might vast, transmitting through the thousand-foot-long Sword Scar Canyon, reverberating throughout the entire Kunlun Ruins!
Mu Jinyu's act of burning Essence Blood was like putting the finishing touch on a dragon painting.
It made the eyes of the Divine Dragon Soul radiate a brilliant divine light, seemingly coming alive with spiritual nature, and its massive dragon body suppressing the heavens also burst forth with glittering and dazzling golden light!
"Boom!!"
Under the terrifying slash of the blood-red blade light, the Divine Dragon Soul did not evade. In its gem-like dragon eyes flashed a trace of disdain seemingly akin to humanity's, then the dragon began to sway its body!
The dragon's body, though massive, was agile to the extreme.
It seemed slow, but in an instant, the Dragon Tail swung towards the blade light!
Dragon Tail Swing!
"Boom!!"
What seemed like a gentle Dragon Tail collided with the incomparably sharp, terrifying blade light, brutally obliterating it as if sweeping away dry leaves!
"Pft!"
As the blade light dissipated, the nearly hundred-zhang-tall Ancestral Witch's Wraith suddenly spewed out a large mouthful of dark purple mist, as if a living person spewed blood.
With the expulsion of this dark purple mist, the Ancestral Witch's Wraith body also shrank from a hundred zhang high, rapidly returning to its original three zhang size!
"Ugh pft!"
Jing Wang, protected within the Ancestral Witch's Wraith, suffered backlash as well, spewing blood in large gulps, her expression utterly withered.
From within the Divine Dragon Soul, Mu Jinyu overlooked all the sudden changes with indifferent eyes, showing neither joy nor surprise.
After all, this was Divine Dragon Blood, incomparable to ordinary divine beasts.
What's more, they were mere Blood Witch Clan practitioners who used base means to absorb blood for cultivation?
That the opponent would be breached in a single strike was expected, not bringing him any sense of joy.
Faced with victory, Mu Jinyu felt only frustration in his heart. Throughout his full-on struggle with Jing Wang, he had unexpectedly fallen into a disadvantage, and if not for burning Divine Dragon Blood, he might have been defeated.
This was quite a blow to him!
After all, on his path so far, though not unbeatable, it was nearly invincible.
To encounter pressure from someone of the same realm, or even those surpassing him by several minor realms, was non-existent.
Only when surpassed by a major realm, such as when he was in the late stage of the Fanxu Realm, did Wu Xiongfei chase him with late-stage Hedao Realm cultivation, making him quite beleaguered.
But now, having practiced a more perfected "Dragon Transformation Scripture," with cultivation temporarily elevated to half-step Void Breaking Realm, and possessing two Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures, he was almost superior to Jing Wang, yet in their battle, he was constantly suppressed.
Ultimately faced with Jing Wang's final killing move, he was forced to burn Divine Dragon Essence Blood to gain the upper hand.
How could he feel any joy?
For he could see Jing Wang's age wasn't great, likely not exceeding fifty!
Judging by the same generation standards of Kunlun Ruins, she could be considered of his generation.
Of course, this feeling of frustration didn't demoralize Mu Jinyu but also ignited his fighting spirit.
He was finally not invincible.
He wouldn't feel lonely among his generation anymore.
Since today there was Jing Wang who could match him evenly, even hold the advantage when he did not unleash his trump card, then in the future, he might encounter similar opponents.
"Nevertheless, although I wish to keep you to hone myself, your existence, after all, is a huge hidden danger, it's better to send you off!"
With icy cold eyes, Mu Jinyu, clearing away the faint sense of frustration that surged in his heart, looked at Jing Wang with renewed killing intent.
"Hmph! If I hadn't been interrupted by you during the ceremonial inheritance of the ancestral soul, if my cultivation wasn't slightly lacking, unable to adequately supply ancestral soul with Blood Essence, causing that slash to fail and backfire, do you think you, a mere fourth layer Hedao Realm trash, could push me to such a state?"
Jing Wang, looking weakened and crouched inside the Ancestral Witch's Wraith, raised her head with a rebellious expression and taunted coldly upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
"Today, if you can't hold me here, someday, I, Jing Wang, will surely come back for revenge!"
With eyes full of venomous light, Jing Wang glared at Mu Jinyu, as if carving his image into her soul, stating each word like a vow.
Since beginning her cultivation, she had never suffered such a great loss as today!
"Hmm!"
After speaking, she hesitated not at all—while the Ancestral Witch's Wraith holding her remained unmoving, the dark deathly qi swirling around her condensed into a mysterious array beneath her feet.
And it was gradually activating!
"Huh?!"
Mu Jinyu's eyes moved, recognizing it as a teleportation array, "Still trying to escape!"
With a cold shout, he hurled the Dragon Spear, enveloped in all-annihilating aura of slaughter, charging towards Jing Wang!
"Better stay behind."
At that moment, a clear voice resounded.
The long-absent Mu Shao'ai finally appeared, raising his hand to press towards the Ancestral Witch's Wraith.
"Rumble!"
The void collapsed, the turbulent spatial currents grew even fiercer.
Even Jing Wang's chaotic dark array beneath her feet twisted and trembled.
However, to the surprise of Mu Jinyu, Mu Shao'ai, and the six Heavenly Palace Elders...
Faced with Mu Shao'ai's move, the Ancestral Witch's Wraith shattered, and then the dark purple deathly qi flowed into the teleportation array beneath Jing Wang's feet, accelerating its formation.
The array activated, taking Jing Wang away from this Sword Scar Canyon!
