I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 162: Chapter 61: The Evil Dragon Descends Upon the World

Dragon roars echoed from all directions.

Startled, everyone quickly stopped in their tracks.

It was a real dragon!

It had a body of ten thousand feet, completely covered in golden scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen under the sunlight as its body moved.

Its dragon horns were majestic, but a very faint gray-white aura circled between them, and each dragon beard seemed to come alive, clawing and writhing without wind.

The most terrifying thing was its pair of dragon eyes, blood-red vertical pupils exuding a sinister, eerie aura, staring fixedly at Han Zhan and the other two in the sky.

The dragon’s mouth slightly opened, and another deafening dragon roar resounded.

On the sea’s surface, countless waves simultaneously exploded, and Huo Heng, who was maintaining the Sea Breaking Spell on the shore, simply fainted from the roar.

The Sea Breaking Spell vanished.

The seabed path that was carved out was once again filled by giant waves.

The surging Black Sea rolled, and the sky began to fill with clouds; it was said that the Divine Dragon could command clouds and rain. Even if it had fallen into an Evil Dragon, its innate ability still remained.

”Retreat!”

Without needing Han Zhan to speak, Feng Pingcheng had already brought Han Zhan and Huo Lie back to land.

Fighting the Evil Dragon in the air was not a wise choice.

The Evil Dragon had just broken free from its seal and was at its most ferocious, its blood-red pupils flickering with a savage intent for slaughter.

”Tier Eight Peak.”

”And it’s a dragon!”

Unlike the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood that transformed by absorbing Phoenix Blood, the Evil Dragon was a true Ancient Divine Beast, not only possessing Tier Eight Peak power but also various terrifying and formidable talents!

It was even more troublesome than the Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood!

In the clues that Fu Xi left for Han Zhan, Han Zhan judged that the Evil Dragon was not an opponent they could handle at their current stage.

Thus, finding the Evil Dragon was more aligned with their current mission than defeating it.

They just didn’t expect that by the time they found the Evil Dragon, it had already successfully escaped from Water Village!

The difficulty had geometrically increased.

”This is impossible! When I left Water Village, the High Priest clearly said that there were still three binding seals on the Evil Dragon that hadn’t been lifted, and it would take at least a hundred years for it to appear in the world!”

At this moment, Shui Rou’s shocked voice resounded in the crowd’s ears.

Her words gave Han Zhan a sudden inspiration.

He quickly deployed the battle plan.

The Tier Eight Evil Dragon in the sky was already attacking!

With a wave of Han Zhan’s hand, the Fu Xi Zither had already condensed behind him, and the zither tune representing the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array began playing.

The Evil Dragon’s claw was pressing down towards them.

A giant towering tree shadow appeared before everyone, blocking this dragon claw!

Mutated Phoenix Perch Wood!

Also at Tier Eight Peak, the tree-man transformed from the Phoenix Perch Wood blocked this strike, but was then swept by the Evil Dragon’s tail.

The dragon tail slammed solidly on the tree trunk, shattering the tree scales, sending wood fibers flying, showcasing the power of the Evil Dragon’s tail swipe, which was far stronger than any punch Han Zhan could deliver!

The Tier Eight Peak tree-man summoned by Han Zhan had become the main force in the battle, bearing the brunt of the attacks and drawing fire.

On the other two sides, Huo Lie and Feng Pingcheng also seized the opportunity to charge into the battlefield.

They were both of Tier Seven strength, standing against Tier Eight Peak meant they had more chances of dying than surviving. Fortunately, with the tree-man drawing aggro, they could attack with ease.

All of Feng Pingcheng’s moves were related to wind; he could condense Wind Gang, then transform it into Wind Blades to strike the Evil Dragon’s body.

However, the intensity of his condensed Wind Gang couldn’t even shatter the scales on the Evil Dragon.

Huo Lie also displayed his skills, taking a deep breath before exhaling a massive flame from his mouth.

The flame turned into a sea of fire, instantly setting the sky ablaze with fire clouds.

The Evil Dragon in the central position was engulfed by this mass of flames.

But the next moment, when the flames dissipated, it remained unscathed!

Seeing that Feng Pingcheng and Huo Lie’s attacks couldn’t inflict damage, Han Zhan knew he couldn’t rely on these two guys, so he had to control the tree-man to brace itself and charge ahead.

At the same time, he signaled with his eyes to Shui Rou beside him.

”Follow my command.”

”Three, two, one!”

As soon as Han Zhan’s voice fell, the densely packed branches and twigs on the tree-man transformed into countless fists, attacking the Evil Dragon like a torrential rain.

The tree-man’s attack completely enraged the Evil Dragon. It suddenly opened its mouth, spewing out a mass of dark gray energy.

This mass of energy collided with countless twigs in the air, causing an explosion that plunged the surroundings into a brief chaos.

The Tier Eight Peak tree-man, under this energy impact, had all its branches destroyed, turning it into a ”bare pole commander”.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the battle, in a place unnoticed by anyone, Shui Rou activated the Water Transformation Technique, leaping down.

Like water merging into water.

...

Swimming from the shore to Water Village was a great distance.

At this moment, Water Village had already sunk to the real seabed.

But this was what Han Zhan entrusted her to do.

With this in mind, Shui Rou’s gaze became determined again. In the deep, dark sea, she shot downward like a completely transparent water current at great speed.

The High Priest of Water Village was nowhere to be seen.

But outside the Water Village, there were still many villagers from Water Village.

These villagers all practiced the Water Transformation Technique, always remembering the task the High Priest instructed them.

—Stop anyone from approaching Water Village!

Their strengths varied; some were only Tier One or Two, while others reached Tier Five or Six.

Everyone stood firmly outside Water Village, not moving an inch.

Only occasionally, upon hearing the high-pitched dragon roars from the sky, would they look up towards the unreachable sky direction with fanatic and joyous expressions.

In the places they weren’t watching, Shui Rou was swiftly passing through.

The High Priest said a truthful thing: among all the people in Water Village, Shui Rou had the highest cultivation talent, and she was the most diligent in her practice.

At the age of nine, Shui Rou had already mastered the Water Transformation Technique to perfection, and it was due to such talent that she was chosen by the High Priest to further train in the Water Concealment Technique.

Initially, Shui Rou thought that her diligent practice was for the day when she could shoulder the responsibility of the entire Water Village, to rescue the Divine Dragon, to protect the Divine Dragon.

But now, she understood what it meant by fate’s unseen hand.

Her arduous training in the Water Transformation Technique and Water Concealment Technique turned out to be all for this day!

As thoughts flashed rapidly through Shui Rou’s mind, her body, transformed into formless water, quickly passed through the overlapping lines of defense, successfully reaching the central deep pool.

Upon entering the deep pool, Shui Rou arrived at a completely unfamiliar space.

Here, just as Han Zhan had predicted, she saw another ”Evil Dragon” quietly lurking there!

When Shui Rou appeared, the ”Evil Dragon” seemed to be very excited, struggling as if wanting to say something.

But in the next second, a dagger mercilessly pierced through its body.

”Farewell, High Priest.”
