Chapter 357 Total Destruction
With this, Gu Yuchuan had killed all eighteen cultivators, and no one could pose any threat to him anymore. The final step of his journey to become a dragon was about to be completed.
He transformed back into his true form, a hundred-meter-long dragon swimming in the water. The water washed away the blood and grime from his body. Although his injuries were severe, his eyes shone brightly. He was incredibly excited. After all the effort he had put in, it was finally about to have a perfect outcome. He couldn't help but be happy; he could no longer suppress his excitement.
However, things are far from that simple. Within the rules, he has won, and Zou Jiao can no longer have any problems. But outside the rules, there is still a lot of room for maneuver. The Canglan Realm is definitely not willing to accept their defeat and will definitely take some action.
This was a situation that anyone could have predicted. After all, once the Dragon Walk was over, the collapse of the Canglan Realm would be irreversible. The powerful figures among them would not watch the world fall into such a state. Therefore, they had to risk killing Gu Yuchuan, who was about to complete the Dragon Walk.
They had prepared for this mission long ago. On one hand, they had indeed prepared so many Golden Core cultivators to fight Gu Yuchuan to the death. On the other hand, they had also notified the Nascent Soul cultivators to act as a backup plan. Even the two Nascent Soul stage experts had made some preparations in secret.
Of course, the Demon Lord understood this principle, which is why he had been watching this place the whole time. He was there to prevent anyone from taking desperate measures. No matter who it was, if he dared to make a move, he would stop them and not let them go. The matter of the dragon-walking could not afford to have any mistakes; he could not accept that.
Gu Yuchuan manipulated the endless flow of water to begin his attack. He wanted to submerge Yaoguang City in front of him and the passage connecting Cangzhu River and the South China Sea. In this way, the proportion of the water world in Canglan Realm would increase significantly. This is the essence of Zoujiao.
Before Yao Guang Zhenjun could even make a move, she knew that the other party must also have a powerful Nascent Soul stage expert protecting them in secret. She might only have one chance to strike, and if she failed, she would never have another chance. She had to be extremely focused. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down; she was determined to do this.
In the sky, Venerable Faming and the Immortal Venerable were also ready. Their task was to temporarily hold off the Demon Venerable and create a brief opportunity to attack. Just a brief moment would be enough. This True Monarch Yaoguang was a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Although he was not a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, he had been famous for many years, and his strength was unfathomable. He had previously earned his formidable reputation. They believed that the opponent could easily kill Gu Yuchuan in a single encounter.
The water continued to erode the city. Finally, the Immortal Venerable made his move. Two enormous magical forces struck from the sky. One was from the Immortal Venerable, who blocked the Demon Venerable. The other was from Venerable Faming, who blocked three Nascent Soul stage Demon Emperors. At the same time, an arrow flew out from Yaoguang City. It seemed to have traversed time and space and arrived directly in front of Gu Yuchuan.
Gu Yuchuan felt nothing. He couldn't react to a full-force attack from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. By the time the attack reached him, he could feel something assaulting him, but it was too fast. He couldn't react at all. The Golden Light Mantra activated on its own, trying to block the attack.
Although the Golden Light Mantra was of a very high grade, its master's strength was indeed too low, completely unable to support it in resisting such an attack. In an instant, the defense formed by the Golden Light Mantra shattered into fragments and turned into bubbles.
The arrow pierced through Gu Yuchuan's brow, but before he could feel the pain, the Demon Lord shouted from the sky, "Celestial Master, how dare you scheme against me like this!"
He had already told the Celestial Master to secretly protect Gu Yuchuan, but for some reason, the Celestial Master went back on his word. Perhaps it was to seize the credit for the battle. If the dragon-walking expedition had succeeded, the war would have been completely dominated by the demon race. For the human race, who hadn't contributed much, the benefits they would have gained would have been minimal, which they certainly wouldn't have wanted. So, at the most crucial moment, the Celestial Master chose not to intervene, allowing Gu Yuchuan to die in the counterattack of the Canglan Realm.
In this special time of war, even if the Demon Lord has many emotions, he certainly wouldn't dare to turn against them. After the war ends, everyone will have to digest the gains. He firmly believes that the Demon Lord wouldn't let a dead person interfere with this process. Over the years, he has known that the Demon Lord is a person who prioritizes profit, which is why he dares to do this.
The Demon Lord was furious at this moment. He had planned for so long and put in so much effort, and the time to reap the rewards was just around the corner, but someone had betrayed him. His eyes turned red, and he even wanted to take action directly.
The Immortal Venerable laughed heartily: "You say my Canglan Realm is not peaceful? It seems you are no better. Demon Venerable, what does it feel like to be betrayed by your own people? It must be very unpleasant. This dog-eat-dog war is so interesting. Show me more of these things in the future, I love to watch."
He was genuinely overjoyed. He had thought that once the Samsara Palace was about to withdraw, life would be difficult from then on. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and there was still such a turning point. Since the dragon-walking was not completed, they still had the possibility of fighting. Moreover, he had discovered the unrest in the Azure Cloud Realm, which gave him even more room to maneuver. He felt that the situation had improved significantly.
However, the Immortal Venerable's smile immediately vanished, for life force was emanating from Gu Yuchuan's corpse.
"Host death detected, automatically triggers the talent resurrection. The host has been resurrected and automatically counterattacks."
He opened his eyes and saw an arrow flying back. This arrow was even more powerful than when it had just been fired. Yao Guang Zhenjun didn't even have time to react before it was pierced through the heart and rendered powerless.
The Demon Lord was overjoyed, never expecting such a turn of events.
"Those below, do your utmost to help the Azure Dragon Demon King complete his final dragon transformation. Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy. Celestial Master, if you do not take action now, don't blame me for tearing up the treaty between the human and demon races."
The Celestial Master had no other choice. He could have claimed he hadn't reacted in time, which, while unbelievable, was still a plausible excuse. But now, if he didn't act, it would be a genuine provocation. Breaking the treaty would only put them in a more passive position. He had no choice but to act. With his intervention, the dragon-walking expedition was destined to succeed.
