Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 815: Chapter 810: Seeing Ang Xiao Again

Lü Yang had to admit that the Old Dragon Mother’s ”pregnancy stare” shocked him deeply. It also made him realize once again the true value of an Emperor Fruit.

”However... there’s no way he can use this move too many times,” he thought. Lü Yang wasn’t frightened by the Old Dragon Mother’s threat. The main reason this move even worked was that he had only sent his Incense and Candle Avatar.

”If my true body were here in its peak state without any injuries, even if the Old Dragon Mother tried with all his might, he probably wouldn’t be able to plant the Heaven and Earth Root into my body to make me bear him a child,” he reasoned. ”After all, my Dharma Body is far too tough. He wouldn’t even be able to break through my skin...”

Thinking of this, Lü Yang calmed down significantly.

Soon, that eerie light resurfaced in the Old Dragon Mother’s eyes, and Lü Yang watched as his Incense and Candle Avatar’s belly swelled up into a massive bulge once again...

”Naive!” Lü Yang sneered coldly and repeated his previous trick. He continued to use the Profound Mysterious of the Fruit of River-Sand Gold to interrupt the pregnancy, slicing his belly open to prematurely extract the ”child”.

”PFFT!”

The next second, Lü Yang swayed on his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood that smelled of Sandalwood Incense. His entire body’s Magical Power Mechanism plummeted drastically once again.

However, the Old Dragon Mother wasn’t faring much better. His mana had also plummeted. He stood there panting heavily—HUFF, HUFF—with a somewhat sweet, sickly charm. Dripping with sweat, he looked like a pitiable beauty. His long, aqua-blue hair clung to his chest, contrasting starkly against his pale skin.

”You play rough!” Even though it was a teeth-gritting growl, coming from the current Old Dragon Mother, it carried a hint of coquettishness—almost like a lover’s pout. As his beautiful eyes glanced around, he displayed nothing but pure elegance. At a glance, the previously burly and muscular Old Dragon Mother had completely transformed into a well-endowed, noble matron whose radiant maternal aura could not be concealed.

”Hmm?” Soon, the Old Dragon Mother also realized his own strange condition. He hastily tightened his expression, smoothed his hair, and put on a cold, arrogant facade.

Yet even so, as the Fruit of Vast-Sea Water circulated, the maternal aura radiating from him continued to swell. It made people involuntarily want to get close to him, to have a child with him, and to bear the responsibility of multiplying all living things. Even with Lü Yang’s formidable willpower, he experienced a momentary waver...

But the very next second, he abruptly snapped out of it.

”Demon!” Lü Yang shouted. He had to admit that the Old Dragon Mother’s current combat power had exceeded his expectations. Just like him, the enemy had just barely reached the absolute peak of the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

With a furious shout, blinding golden light erupted from Lü Yang’s hands. It was the Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder, which he had been charging up for a long time and only chose to unleash at this exact moment!

Seeing this, the Old Dragon Mother wasn’t the least bit afraid. After all, having sacrificed his manhood, his Abilities had surged immensely. He immediately prepared to activate the Fruit of Vast-Sea Water, fully intending to make Lü Yang’s lightning bolts cry out for their ”mommy”...

However, before the Fruit of Vast-Sea Water could respond, a brilliant streak of lightning had already reflected in his pupils. This was the greatest strength of the Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder: its extreme speed far surpassed the normal detection range of Divine Sense. By the time you saw it, it had already hit you!

”BOOM!”

The intense lightning instantly swallowed the Old Dragon Mother. Furthermore, wherever the electrical arcs surged, the surrounding Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Qi rapidly gathered!

”With my True Qi, I merge with the Creation of Heaven and Earth!” Lightning was the pivot of Yin and Yang. The thunderbolts struck out at this moment were not merely fueled by Lü Yang’s mana or manifested from his Fruit Position Imagery; they had actually invoked the blessing of Heaven and Earth!

For a time, waves of colorful lightning rippled outward. The crackling electrical arcs resembled wandering dragons. A full twenty-seven bolts surrounded the Old Dragon Mother, surging and howling before crashing down in unison. They forcibly pierced into his body, making him let out an earth-shattering, high-pitched scream.

”AHHHH!”

The lightning persisted for several breaths, and the Old Dragon Mother’s screams echoed endlessly. It wasn’t until the light faded that his cries gradually dissolved into weak, sultry pants.

”What kind of Fruit is this?!” Sprawled on the ground, the Old Dragon Mother’s alluring body had nearly been reduced to charred coal. Only shock, fury, and confusion remained in his heart: he actually didn’t recognize this lightning!

”Lightning possesses the Wood Attribute, but how could a Wood Fruit Position unleash such a terrifying blast?” he thought. ”This is entirely illogical!”

On the other side, Lü Yang’s mood was much better than the Old Dragon Mother’s. ”I never expected that building momentum under Ying Yuan could actually invoke the blessing of Heaven and Earth,” he marveled.

From the moment he laid eyes on the Old Dragon Monarch, he had been secretly gathering his strength. Even when he used lightning mid-battle, he had actually held most of it back, waiting until just now to ruthlessly unleash it all. Yet, he saw that the accumulated lightning, upon detonation, had drawn upon the reinforcement of Heaven and Earth, causing a qualitative leap in its destructive power.

”This is an unexpected surprise,” he thought. ”Who knew that accumulating power could elevate its might to such an extent? One bolt strikes, and twenty-six follow, combining to make twenty-seven... Perhaps I can call it the Three-Nine Celestial Tribulation!”

Lü Yang thought even more highly of the Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder now. After all, this Dao Fruit was currently still an Outer Dao and had not birthed any Profound Mysterious yet. It relied entirely on his high Position to display its power, meaning it still had boundless potential waiting to be tapped!

Walking up to the Old Dragon Mother, Lü Yang smiled faintly. Lightning condensed in his palm once again, dancing as if it were alive, ready to strike at a moment’s notice.

”Well, Old Dragon Monarch? How does it feel?” he asked. ”Are you willing to let me perform Gold Absorption now?”

”You...” Sprawled on the ground, the Old Dragon Mother forced his head up, desperately trying to recover his mana. Unfortunately, having just tried to withstand the barrage of lightning, he had already depleted ninety percent of his reserves. With Lü Yang standing right in front of him, there was absolutely no chance he would be allowed to recover.

At that thought, two streams of clear tears trailed down the Old Dragon Mother’s devastatingly beautiful face, entirely shattering the cold, arrogant facade he had painstakingly maintained.

Naturally, Lü Yang had absolutely no interest in this display. In fact, it made him feel slightly disgusted. The former Old Dragon Monarch would have never acted like this... It was evident that the Fruit of Vast-Sea Water’s influence had seeped deep into his very bones!

Without delay, Lü Yang reached out with his large hand, grabbing the Old Dragon Mother as he prepared to forcibly execute Gold Absorption. Seeing this, the Old Dragon Mother immediately bit his red lips.

”Don’t even think about it!” he thought viciously. ”Even if I die, I will never submit to you!”

Before the thought even finished forming, the Old Dragon Mother’s body exploded with a loud bang. He had decisively committed suicide! Meanwhile, his Golden Soul rapidly fled toward the outside of the Nourishing Life Master Secret Realm.

”As long as I escape the Nourishing Life Master, he won’t be able to kill me!” The Old Dragon Mother wasn’t worried. No matter how formidable Lü Yang was, he was still at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, just like him. Without a fundamental difference in their Positions, Lü Yang couldn’t possibly catch his fleeing Soul.

However, the Old Dragon Mother had miscalculated one thing.

”My Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder possesses the Profound Mysterious of Summoning and Manifestation,” Lü Yang sneered internally. ”The more you curse me in your Heart Thoughts, the more directly I can smite you with heavenly punishment!”

The next second, Lü Yang formed a Daoist Hand Seal. The Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder sensed the enemy’s Heart Thoughts and instantly locked onto the Old Dragon Mother, who was frantically cursing him in his mind. Bypassing all barriers of time and distance, the attack slammed point-blank into the Old Dragon Mother’s Soul, detonating in a brilliant burst of golden lightning!

”AHOOO!!!”

It was only now that the Old Dragon Mother truly felt bone-deep agony. A single bolt of lightning wouldn’t kill him on the spot, but it was more than enough to destabilize his Soul!

”CRACK!”

Under the flashing lightning, a speck of light—so minuscule it was almost invisible—broke off from the Old Dragon Mother’s Golden Soul, which had originally been unified in Perfection. It was a Gold Attribute!

Staring at his detached Gold Attribute, the Old Dragon Mother’s eyes practically split with fury, but he didn’t dare to linger for even a fraction of a second. In the blink of an eye, he vanished entirely from the Nourishing Life Master Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, Lü Yang was overjoyed. After fighting for so long, he had finally successfully performed Gold Absorption on the Old Dragon Mother!

”...It’s mine!” The next second, he launched himself forward as a Flying Light, reaching out his hand to pocket that speck of Gold Attribute. However, at that exact moment—

Another hand, wreathed in smoke, beat him to it and pinched the speck of light between its fingers. Lü Yang’s movements came to a screeching halt.

Immediately after, as if an invisible curtain had been drawn back, a hazy silhouette cloaked in smoke suddenly appeared in a spot that had been completely empty just a moment ago.

”Ang Xiao!” Lü Yang thought in shock.
