409(bad)(1) - Senior Sister Is on Top

Wen Dai nodded, "Indeed, though this formation is powerful, it is not without flaws. I detected the presence of a dragon at one point, and I suspect that the Azure Dragon royalty set up this formation, leaving a way out." Jiang Yin raised an eyebrow, realizing that the situation wasn't entirely bleak. After a moment of thought, he smiled and said, "In that case, Your Highness, please make the first move. My junior sister and I are ready and will follow closely behind." Wen Dai had no objections. She suddenly let out a long cry towards the sky, and the cold flames around her body surged. The icy blue fire burst forth, like bright and colorful plum blossoms blooming in the depths of a bitter winter. She waved her wings a few times, the cold sparks dancing freely, circling once in mid-air before launching towards the edge of the Myriad Forms Array with an unstoppable force. Tang Muxi and Jiang Yin followed closely, each summoning their divine artifacts—the Phantom God and the Demon Imprisoning Blade. The two swords combined and pierced into the Taiji diagram, merging their extraordinary powers with their powerful artifacts, and finally struck out together. This was power from beyond this realm, the primordial force formed at the dawn of the divine domain when heaven and earth were in chaos. Not to mention it didn't belong here, just its powerful underlying strength alone was something the Azure Dragon couldn't absorb. Coupled with the true flames of the Azure Luan, these two formidable and unparalleled forces moved together. Even though the Myriad Forms Array incorporated the lifelong creation of the Azure Dragon royalty, it couldn't cope. With just these two consecutive attacks, the array was fiercely penetrated, shattering half of the illusionary realm. The residual power did not diminish and shot straight towards the officials of the Eastern Region. Yun Yuchen sensed the breath of death and ran away almost immediately, barely escaping. Those who reacted slower left their lives there forever. The ground shook and buildings collapsed. This strike not only destroyed half of the Myriad Forms Array but also shattered parts of the Eastern Region's capital. Had the Myriad Forms Array not absorbed half a day's power, it might have destroyed more than just half. "Heh, His Highness the Divine Emperor and Lord Demon King are indeed formidable. Even in a desperate situation, they can find a way out and catch people off guard." Yun Yuchen brushed the dust off himself, and as he looked at the collapsed buildings around the palace, he suddenly felt they were very much like himself at that moment. Just as he finished speaking, he saw a spiritual thread shoot towards him urgently. His eyes turned cold as he summoned the Specter Seal to barely block it. "Hmph, I knew it! Since you've joined forces with the Ghost Emperor, you must have his artifact!" Tang Muxi walked slowly out of the Myriad Forms Array, observing carefully and looking for another chance to strike. "The Ghost Emperor is indeed leisurely, not enjoying his high position in the Ghost Realm, but stirring up a storm in the world! Yun Yuchen, do you know your crime as their pawn?!" Yun Yuchen couldn't help but laugh, realizing the Divine Emperor wanted him to surrender. "I have only done my duty. What crime is there?" Tang Muxi was furious, "You colluded with outsiders, incited Eastern Region officials, and meddled with the divine beast's form. With such crimes, you still refuse to repent? The formation is already broken, your comrades have fled, do you still think you have a chance to win?!" The Divine Emperor was right. He had already been defeated. The Myriad Forms Array broke before it fully formed, and the only power that could rival divine artifacts was gone. The defeat was certain. Continuing to resist would only lead to death. But... so what? Since he decided to take action, he never planned to survive. Now that he was facing death, rather than becoming a prisoner and being beheaded, he preferred to take someone down with him! "Xu Lan!" Yun Yuchen shouted loudly, and in the next moment, a spiritual sword carrying the full force of a tribulation-period cultivator shot straight at Tang Muxi. At the same time, Yun Yuchen no longer hid, roaring as he transformed into a beast resembling a tiger, exuding decaying, surging demonic energy, and pounced towards 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 Bixuan had fallen into the demonic path and failed to see through Yun Yuchen's diversion. Using the spiritual sword as cover, Yun Yuchen pretended to attack the Divine Emperor but was actually aiming for the Myriad Forms Array behind her. The Myriad Forms Array contained the Azure Dragon's divine blood, and he happened to be a descendant of Bixuan, born of the union between an Azure Dragon and a White Tiger. If he succeeded, he could further strengthen himself. But the process wasn't smooth. Even though this attack deceived the Demon King Si Jun, it didn't escape the eyes of Feng Kai and Jiang Yin. They both struck, summoning their artifacts the moment the demonic beast pounced, stabbing towards him from both sides. Yun Yuchen, focused on obtaining the Azure Dragon's divine blood, didn't defend himself, and his forelimbs were pierced. The corrupted blood spilled on the ground, as terrifying as his ferocious expression. He roared, shaking them off with his massive body, and finally opened his bloody mouth to bite at the core of the Myriad Forms Array. This formation was initiated by him, and others didn't understand it, so despite their surprise and confusion, they didn't fully stop him. In a blink, a "divine blood" ball appeared in the tiger beast's mouth. The divine blood, after absorbing multiple forces, had gradually formed into a small Azure Dragon the size of a fist. In this world, there were many divine beasts, but dragons and phoenixes were the most revered. The Azure Dragon was the most powerful among divine beasts. Though just formed, its supreme imperial aura had already taken shape. This was true divine blood. If it appeared in the world, it would restore the glory of the divine dragon. Unfortunately, due to the covetous eyes of the ambitious, it had to perish prematurely. "Heh, it even has a body." Yun Yuchen realized in an instant why the Azure Dragon had secretly set up this Myriad Forms Array with the whole clan's effort—to absorb power under the guise of defending against external enemies. "However, with the array damaged, you can't appear in the world. In that case... better merge with me!" With that, he bit and crushed the small Azure Dragon, swallowing all the divine blood. Being a descendant of a divine beast was not the same as being a true divine beast. Aside from a bit of bloodline inheritance and heavenly gifts, they rarely possessed true divine power. Moreover, Yun Yuchen was only a descendant of Bixuan, born of an Azure Dragon and a White Tiger, making the bloodline even thinner.
