Eternal Tale

Chen Xun shouted loudly, taking a step forward, his gaze deep as an abyss, revealing no aura, nor did he cast any defensive spells.

Not far away, Zang You’s eyes darkened, taking a deep look at this skeletal flood dragon. Such courage...

Black Bull’s eyes were cold, retreating quietly to the side, his hind hooves kicking a few times.

The Flood Dragon Venerable spewed a mouthful of scorching dragon breath, roaring as it gathered the last essence of its flesh and bones!

This strike wouldn’t use the Dragon Tendon but would be delivered with its dragon bones!

Roar~~~

The Flood Dragon Venerable suddenly soared ten thousand feet into the air, continuously letting out a screeching roar. All the creatures on the main peaks looked on from afar, their gazes deep as water, standing silently.

On the white jade bridge.

Chen Xun slightly raised his head, his robe fluttering in the wind created by the Flood Dragon Venerable’s gathered might.

His expression was serious, without any hint of underestimation or disdain. This flood dragon’s aura was indeed worthy of its clan’s respect.In the clouds above.

The Flood Dragon Venerable roared towards the bridge, ”Chen Xun, with this strike, the grievances between you and my clan are settled. Please do not trouble my clan further!”

”Of course,” Chen Xun replied coldly, his words steady yet carrying a certain force.

Hearing this, the Flood Dragon Venerable’s expression gradually calmed. The words of a Venerable were as good as gold, enough.

Roar!!!

In the next moment, the Flood Dragon Venerable’s figure, like a massive wave crashing down from thirty thousand feet, plummeted rapidly. Every inch of air seemed compressed by its aura, emitting a sharp screech!

Its dragon eyes contained a resolute determination to face death, its dragon head terrifyingly fierce. The dragon bones, stripped of flesh, glowed ominously as they plummeted towards the white jade bridge!

That moment of descent seemed to tear the entire sky apart, the wind howling, clouds churning, and the shadow cast by its massive body enveloped the entire land, creating an overwhelming pressure.

The Flood Dragon Venerable stared intently at the small figure in white, the aura of heaven and earth swirling around its ears as it descended, time seeming to slow at this moment.

It recalled the first time it entered the world of immortals, the intense anticipation in the eyes of the elders of the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins.

In this grand world, our clan’s disciples must have a place, the flood dragon must shake the seas!

Thousands of years later, the elders of the clan fell one by one, and the burden of their lineage finally rested on its shoulders, hoping it could lead the clan out of the Mengmu Sea Region.

It felt inadequate, currying favor with the Immortal Hall under Xuanwei Heaven, and with the ancient dragon clan in the Wild Heaven Region.

But in the end, it seemed all for naught, nothing changed, nothing achieved...

The Flood Dragon Venerable thought and revealed a faint smile. Unexpectedly... in the end, its most glorious and commendable act was to strike at a Venerable.

It looked at the still figure in white, its smile deepening. After years of cultivating immortality, it was worth it!

”...Chen Xun, thank you.”

The Flood Dragon Venerable laughed heartily within, a cold glint suddenly appearing in its eyes. They were now within reach, yet it felt no fear.

Roar~~~~

The Flood Dragon Venerable roared at the heavens, its aura descending, the dragon bone at its tail like a giant battle axe, crashing down on Chen Xun’s head with a thunderous boom!

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted in the air, the atmosphere twisting as if torn apart, the vital energy screeching, lightning and thunder flashing in an instant, the terrifying aura spreading like ripples in all directions.

Black Bull’s cold eyes flickered slightly, just watching silently.

Zang You’s lips parted slightly, staring intently at the scene, eyes filled with indescribable shock...

Even the Chen family members on the distant main peak had their expressions change slightly, instinctively stepping forward two steps.

Truly eye-opening, in this grand world of cultivating immortality, there really were such beings.

Even the two ancient beasts were dumbfounded. That was an immortal monster, how could this little flood dragon dare to strike?

The disciples of the Five Aggregates Sect were already dumbfounded, unable to speak for a moment... all shocked by the scene, this dragon, stripped of flesh, dared to strike at the ancestor with its bones.

Immortal Absolute roared in anger, seeking death, daring to strike at the Dao Ancestor?!

But before he could rush to the clouds, Mo Fuyang held him back, shaking his head slightly, understanding the matter well.

Regardless, it was this old flood dragon who spared the Dao Ancestor back then.

It never entangled further, nor did it allow the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins to bully the garbage recycling plant, much better than Lu Chuan.

Immortal Absolute’s aura weakened, his expression slightly dazed, but since his senior brother had intervened, he dared not act rashly.

On the white jade bridge.

The vital energy fluctuated violently, celestial phenomena unending, the dragon bone that struck Chen Xun’s head shattered like a spider web, the dragon head drenched in blood.

Drip...

Dragon blood slowly dripped onto the bridge, Chen Xun’s gaze deep, unmoving, not even a strand of hair severed by the dragon bone.

The Flood Dragon Venerable revealed a bloodthirsty smile, speaking in a hoarse voice, ”...So, this is the might of the Tribulation Crossing Venerable realm... Alas, I have no chance to glimpse its mysteries further...”

”...Chen Xun, you, you owe... my lineage nothing.”

The Flood Dragon Venerable’s eyes drooped, each word accompanied by a flow of blood, it weakly smiled, ”Though I am defeated today, it was merely the petty using realm to suppress!”

”Chen Xun, remember, the cultivator who struck you was from the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins, the Great Ascension Venerable, Flood Dragon Zhenhai!!”

The Flood Dragon Venerable roared to the heavens, the dragon’s roar shaking the mountains and rivers, laughing loudly, ”From my generation, the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins shall no longer compromise with the grand forces, no longer endure humiliation and live ignobly, but rise with the wind, standing tall in heaven and earth!”

Roar~~~!

A celestial sound emanated from the Flood Dragon Venerable’s last trace of bloodline, the endless power of heaven’s rules shattered the air, like crystalline jade droplets falling to the earth.

Its gaze slowly turned lifeless, yet its final look was towards the calm-faced Chen Xun, showing deep respect.

Chen Xun pondered for a moment, cupping his hands towards the sky with a faint smile, ”Farewell! Flood Dragon Venerable ascends to immortality, as the clan’s honor, I shall respect the fellow Daoist’s choice!”

Hearing this, the Flood Dragon Venerable smiled, even though only a head remained.

Yet it used its last bit of strength to slowly ascend towards the sky, born of heaven and earth, returning to heaven and earth, the destiny of an immortal.

Whoosh—

The Flood Dragon Venerable’s head shimmered with radiant clouds, gradually becoming ethereal, finally silently dissipating into the world.

Black Bull’s cold gaze shifted slightly, the lingering anger within completely soothed, exhaling a breath tinged with shock...

If this dragon had begged for mercy, it believed Chen Xun might have spared it.

But never expected this dragon to remain unyielding, displaying a rare quality in the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins—dignity!

Chen Xun’s expression remained calm, still gazing at the sky, lightly tapping the void with a finger, ”Tell Ji Yan to stop targeting the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins, uproot the great calamity planted, my karma with this clan is resolved, no enmity remains.”

His words slowly dissipated into the void, destination unknown.

Zang You took a deep breath, remembering the name Flood Dragon Zhenhai.

Some cultivators never measure by cultivation level, this flood dragon was indeed respectable, and understood.
