409(bad)(2) - Senior Sister Is on Top

Wen Dai nodded, "Indeed, while the formation here is powerful, it is not without flaws. I sense the aura of the Azure Dragon, suggesting that this formation was likely set up by the Azure Dragon royal family as a contingency plan." Jiang Yin raised an eyebrow, surprised that the situation was not as dire as it seemed. After a moment's thought, he smiled and said, "In that case, please, Your Highness, take the lead. My sister and I are fully prepared and will follow closely." Wen Dai naturally had no objections. Suddenly, she let out a loud cry, and her entire body was enveloped in cold flames. The blue, icy fire erupted from her like a plum blossom blooming in the harshest winter, bright and dazzling. She flapped her wings several times, the cold sparks swirling in the air, and then charged with unstoppable force towards the edge of the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation. Tang Muxi and Jiang Yin followed closely, each summoning their respective divine and demon-sealing blades. The two swords combined their powers and struck into the Taiji Diagram, merging their extraordinary strength and formidable artifacts. Together, they unleashed their attack. This was the power from beyond the realm, the primordial force formed during the initial opening of the divine domain and the chaotic state of the world. Not only was it beyond the scope of this world, but its fusion of countless powerful foundations made it something that a mere Azure Dragon could not absorb. Coupled with the true flames of the Qingluan, the two irreplaceable and powerful forces were unleashed simultaneously. Even though the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation was a culmination of the Azure Dragon royal family's life’s work, it was hard-pressed to cope. These two successive attacks thoroughly pierced the formation, shattering a significant portion of the illusory realm. The residual power continued unrelenting, striking towards the Eastern Domain’s officials. Yun Yuchen sensed the approach of death and fled almost instantly, barely escaping with his life. Some behind him were slower in reacting and, as a result, permanently lost their lives there. The ground shook, and buildings collapsed. This single strike not only destroyed half of the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation but also shattered parts of the Eastern Domain's royal city. If the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation had not absorbed power for half a day, the damage might have been even greater. "Heh, His Majesty the Divine Emperor and the Demon King are truly formidable. Even when trapped, they managed to find an opportunity and catch us off guard," Yun Yuchen said, brushing off the dust from his body and looking at the collapsed buildings around the palace. For some reason, he felt a strong resemblance between himself and the current scene. Just then, a spiritual thread shot towards him. His eyes turned cold as he summoned the Wraith Seal to barely block the attack. "Hmph, I knew it. Since you've allied with the Ghost Emperor, you must have his artifacts!" Tang Muxi emerged slowly from the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation, having missed his first attack and now observing closely for another chance, "The Ghost Emperor is truly idle. Instead of enjoying his high status in his ghost domain, he stirs up turmoil in the world! Yun Yuchen, do you know your crimes as their henchman?!" Yun Yuchen heard that the Divine Emperor wanted him to surrender and couldn't help but laugh, "I have merely done my duty. What crime is there?" Tang Muxi was infuriated, "You colluded with foreign tribes, incited Eastern Domain officials, meddled with the divine beast's law, and committed numerous crimes, yet you still refuse to repent? Now that the formation is broken and the remnants of your allies are in disarray, do you still have any chance of winning?!" The Divine Emperor was right. He had already been defeated. The Ten Thousand Symbols Formation had not fully formed before it was shattered. The only force capable of contending with divine artifacts was gone, and defeat was inevitable. Continuing to resist meant certain death. But... so what? Since he had decided to act, he had never thought of surviving. Now that death was imminent, rather than becoming a prisoner awaiting execution, it was better to take someone down with him! "Xu Lan!" Yun Yuchen shouted, and in the next moment, a sword carrying the full strength of a Transcending Tribulation cultivator shot straight at Tang Muxi. At the same time, Yun Yuchen revealed his true form, transforming into a beast resembling a tiger, emanating a strong and corrupting demonic aura. Without hesitation, he charged at Tang Muxi with all his might. "Demon?!" Wen Dai and Si Jun exclaimed in unison, blocking in front of Tang Muxi. They were momentarily stunned by the fact that the divine beast Bian Li had fallen into the path of demons and failed to see through Yun Yuchen's ploy. Yun Yuchen used the spiritual sword as a cover, feigning an attack on the Divine Emperor, but his true goal was the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation behind him. The formation contained the blood of the Azure Dragon, and as a descendant of both the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger, if he succeeded, he would further enhance himself. However, the process did not go smoothly. Even though this attack deceived the Demon King Si Jun, it did not escape the eyes of Feng Kai and Jiang Yin. They both acted swiftly. As the demon beast pounced, they summoned their artifacts and struck from either side. Yun Yuchen, focused on obtaining the Azure Dragon’s divine blood, did not defend himself, and his front limbs were pierced through. With blood tainted by demonic energy spilling everywhere, his expression was as fierce and terrifying as his appearance. He roared in fury, twisting his massive body to throw them off, and then opened his gaping mouth to bite towards the core of the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation. The formation was initiated by him, so while others were surprised and puzzled, they did not fully obstruct him. In the blink of an eye, the tiger beast’s mouth held a lump of "divine blood." The divine blood, after being nourished by multiple forces, had gradually formed into a fist-sized Azure Dragon embryo. Among the many divine beasts in this world, dragons and phoenixes were revered, with the Azure Dragon being the most powerful among them. Although it was only an embryo, the aura of an emperor had already taken shape. This was true divine blood. If it were to appear in the world, it would have reintroduced the brilliance of the divine dragon. Unfortunately, due to the covetous desires of certain individuals, it had to die in the womb. "Heh, it even has a form now." Yun Yuchen immediately realized why the Azure Dragon's family had secretly set up the Ten Thousand Symbols Formation with their entire clan’s strength. It was originally intended to absorb power for the "divine dragon." "But now that the formation is damaged, you can't appear in the world. If so... why not merge with me!" With those words, he bit down hard on the Azure Dragon embryo, swallowing all the divine blood. After all, the descendant of a divine beast was not a true divine beast. Except for some inherited bloodlines and heaven-bestowed gifts, they rarely possessed genuine divine beast power. Let alone Yun Yuchen, who was merely a descendant of the Bian Li from the union of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, with even weaker bloodline connections.
