Volume 4: The Name of the Heavenly Sword Chapter 58: Enlightenment

  The golden horn on the head of Taomo Yuntian Dragon continuously emits a burst of light, constantly colliding with the mountain range, and the power of wind and thunder behind it "roars" loudly, striking the surrounding peaks. It seems to want to flatten all seven peaks of Shu Mountain into flat ground.

  Large tracts of mountain rocks crumbled, peaks fractured and collapsed. The land of Shu Mountain was turned upside down, and it had long since lost its original appearance.

  The power of the heavenly dragon can be seen in a glimpse. This kind of power and divine ability is absolutely something that humans cannot withstand.

  Then, the six-legged dragon began to dig into the underground palace beneath the mountain range non-stop. As soon as its sharp claws touched the palace, a burst of dazzling symbols emerged from the ground, seemingly able to restrain it naturally. The light hit its paws, and instantly, "hissing" white smoke erupted from its paws.

  "Roar......"

  The mighty dragon let out a deafening roar, its heart-wrenching pain piercing through to the soul. Even with its incredibly powerful physique, it couldn't withstand this agony. Yet, despite the suffering, its sharp claws continued to dig relentlessly into the dusty earth of the ancient temple, determined to push aside the entire mountain range and rescue the tiger python trapped beneath.

  Tang An and the three Wudang Zhenren were watching Tianlong's movements from the side.

  The Unhappy Daoist suddenly said, "The Great Mo Yun Tian Long, a legendary creature that only exists in the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm. But for some reason, this earth palace's tiger and python demons have obtained the bloodline of this heavenly dragon."

  The Unborn Path said, "Dragons are the direction of evolution for all scaled creatures. All scaled creatures have a true dragon bloodline hidden in their primordial spirit. However, demons like the tiger python, although they are ancient beasts, still have a low-level bloodline compared to the heavenly dragon. Being able to transform into an earth dragon is already extremely rare, let alone being able to activate the strongest gene deep within one's bloodline and become a heavenly dragon. This tiger python doesn't seem to be newly awakened; it must have cultivated for a very long time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for it to achieve the state of a heavenly dragon as soon as it transformed."

  The Unaging Taoist saw the tiger python transformed into a heavenly dragon, but he furrowed his brow and muttered to himself: "This demon has become a heavenly dragon, so do we still need to exterminate demons? I'm still waiting for this true dragon's spirit to refine another spiritual artifact. A spiritual artifact refined from the blood of a dragon's soul... This tiger python is incredibly powerful, its spirit must be overflowing with spiritual energy, and it might even be possible to refine an extraordinary spiritual artifact. When that time comes, my own path to becoming immortal will be even more secure. Beyond the Heavenly Path, what would the realm of the gods be like? It's truly something to look forward to."

  However, the old Daoist secretly took a look at the two masters, and found that their eyes were calm and peaceful, without any evil spirit. It seems that they no longer want to be demon-slaying affairs. Because, that demon is no longer a demon, but has become a true heavenly dragon.

  Seven Chiefs of Mount Shu gazed at the mighty dragon crashing into the Earth Palace, their brows furrowed in deep concern.

  "Beneath the underground palace, how many demons are there? If the underground palace collapses and Mount Shu caves in, the demonic path will be wide open, and this world will become a purgatory. This great dragon, Mo Yun Tian Long, may no longer be a demon, but what it is doing now is no different from the demons. We can't hesitate any longer."

  Cang Feng gritted his teeth, looking at the massive body of the Great Mo Yun Tian Long, and his entire body burst forth with infinite killing intent. In a stern voice, he said: "Kill it! Only by killing it can we rebuild our palace; otherwise, Mount Shu will never know peace again."

  The other six all nodded and shouted in unison: "Kill it!"

  At this moment, the Shu Mountain Seven Extremes Sword Array was redeployed, and the countless sword lights flashed again, directly stabbing towards the Great Ma Yun Tian Long.

  "Rooooaaaar...... Rooooaaaar......"

  The immense pain made the Great Mo Yun Tian Long unbearable, it kept wailing, its lantern-sized blood-red eyes lifted up, coldly scanning the people of Shu Mountain in mid-air. However, it did not launch an attack, but instead continued to dig at the rocks on the ground. Because beneath the earth, the Tiger Jiao Magic Beast's eyes were growing increasingly dim, and its roar was becoming weaker and weaker. It could no longer hold on.

  The vital energy in his body is flowing away incessantly.

  Its time is up, its life will soon be over.

  "Wooo..."

  As the vitality of the earth's core grew increasingly dim, the great dragon in the sky was overcome with sorrow. It raised its head and let out a mournful cry. Suddenly, it stopped digging into the palace and instead gazed quietly at the blood-red eyes beneath the ground.

  The tiger demon under the underground palace, with eyes as big as lanterns, shining with a bloody color. The eyes that should have looked terrifying were now filled with sorrow and longing. It stared quietly at the figure of Taishan Tianlong, and suddenly a hint of comfort flashed in its eyes. Looking at the golden dragon horn on Taishan Tianlong's head, its face suddenly had an expression of joy like a human being.

  It nodded slightly and let out a low hum. Then it suddenly shook violently, but slowly closed its eyes and remained still...

  "Rage..."

  A loud and shrill dragon's roar, carrying endless sorrow, echoes through the sky.

  Rumble rumble rumble

  The great dragon Taomo was overcome with grief, and began to strike the ground unceasingly with its golden horns. The earth immediately let out a "rumbling" sound, shaking violently, as if it were about to split apart like a mountain landslide. It suddenly turned its head back, and from its dragon mouth, a beam of light suddenly shot out. This beam of light contained boundless power of wind and thunder.

  Rumbling

  The place where it was hit is another mountain collapse...

  At this time, Da Mo Yun Tian Long suddenly went crazy and filled up half of the underground palace he had dug out again.

  At one time, rocks and stones flew about, crumbling down, all of them came this way.

  The giant dragon has awakened its spiritual intelligence, knowing that its ancient alien species is a treasure trove of valuable blood and flesh in the eyes of these humans. It does not want its companions to be dissected even after death. So, it uses all its strength to shatter the mountain rocks, wanting to bury its companions forever, hoping they will never be dug up by humans.

  It will also collapse the surrounding peaks, gather all the rocks and pile them up here. Before long, there is another high mountain here. The crown of Shu Mountain

  The Daemo Cloud Heaven Dragon stood at the top of the mountain, its head raised in a sorrowful cry... Golden blood was flowing out from the dragon's horn on its forehead. The blood of the Daemo Cloud Heaven Dragon possessed great vitality, and as it flowed across the mountain peak, the originally barren mountain peak suddenly became lush with vegetation due to being dyed by its blood, causing grasses and trees to grow wildly.

  In less than a moment, this bare mountain peak suddenly became lush and verdant, with luxuriant grass and trees.

  The entire mountain peak is filled with a rich and vibrant energy, surging and stirring, full of infinite vitality... countless spiritual grasses and immortal herbs grow in the mountains.

  Another picturesque landscape of mountains and rivers

  Tang An quietly watched the emergence of this peak, vaguely feeling that the mountain seemed somewhat familiar. He turned around and saw another peak facing him, shaped like a butterfly's eyebrow, also opposite Shu Mountain's Victory View Peak.

  Its three peaks stand tall, with sheer cliffs facing the sky.

  He was taken aback, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Is this Emei? The one it just buried is its wife... It has already ascended to the heavens as a dragon, yet it personally buries the Great Demon, shedding tears of blood..."

  "What's the difference between God and Devil then?"

  "What's the difference between life and death?"

  "I seem to have realized..."
