Chapter 454: Chapter 83: Ancestral Dragon Not a Dragon? Total Annihilation of Demon Shedding (Extra long Chapter, on leave tomorrow)_5

Just like that, An Jing had communicated with the Immaculate Wood for two or three quarters of an hour. His head felt like wood, yet he had not received a definite response from the Immaculate Wood—although it seemed to understand, An Jing was not sure.

"At least, when the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding is injured and prepares to return to the Primordial Spirit Cave, you must stop it and prevent it from escaping!"

Now, An Jing had done everything he could...Next, it was time to hunt the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding.

The Primordial Spirit Cave, the next day at noon.

Even though the clouds were dark and no sunlight peeked through, the Sun Flame was counteracting the cold of the Frost Calamity, slightly diminishing the chill between heaven and earth.

The Half-Dragon Demon Shedding had just finished besieging the Immaculate Wood. They were covered in wounds because the counterattacks from the Immaculate Wood had been much heavier than usual throughout the night.

This would consume a great deal of the Immaculate Wood’s own strength. Theoretically, in order to maintain the longest possible defense, the Immaculate Wood could not make this choice.

Unless...there were abnormalities.

But the Demon Shedding lacked intelligence and couldn’t understand what this special situation meant, so it still attacked the Immaculate Wood at a fixed rhythm.

Just then, outside the cave, a flash of Metal Thunder passed by.

The Half-Dragon Demon Shedding, with the keenest sense of metal, trembled slightly, then moved towards the cave entrance at an astonishing speed, like a hooked fish.

It was not far from breaking through. With just a bit more Metallic Spiritual Qi, it wouldn’t be much longer before it could transform from a Heartless Demon Shedding into a True Demon Creature with life and intelligence, similar to a Living Puppet.

Lured by the pure and surging Golden Qi, the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding writhed away from the Primordial Spirit Cave.

Then, as it stepped out, it was struck by a burst of Blood Fiend Sword Qi!

In the distance, An Jing gripped the Life-taking Sword in his hand. The boiling, burning Blood Fiend around him contracted like mimosa, gathering on the Life-taking Sword and forming an exceptionally condensed Fiend Thunder.

The forehead and horn of the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding caved in, the air cracked, and its head recoiled back, nearly collapsing to the ground.

But, amid the thunderous roar of the Blood Thunder strike, the Demon Shedding staggered through An Jing’s sudden attack, raised its head again, and locked on to An Jing’s location.

"What kind of tenacity is this? This doesn’t create an opening?"

An Jing, after charging the Dragon Storing Bottle for a long time, released the Blood Fiend Thunder, which was enough to pose a life-threatening danger to an ordinary Martial Meridian Grandmaster. Yet, surprisingly, it could only make the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding tilt its head. He complained, "Is trading brains for stats this profitable?"

"Because they are essentially Demonic Qi, they do not get dizzy, they are not beguiled by Illusionary Realms, nor do they suffer reduced combat effectiveness due to physical impairments," Subdue Evil said, "They are tough and sharp, ordinary cultivators indeed can’t defeat them easily. Thus, Heartless Demon Shedding is mostly the perimeter guard of Demon armies, and most of the time, they can hold out until the reinforcements arrive."

At that moment, the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding let out a long cry, and a surging tide of Poisonous Fiend once again billowed vigorously.

Shuo Yueying, in order to transform herself into a pure Primordial Spirit white dragon, had passed on her entire Poisonous Fiend Divine Skill to the Demon Shedding. This could also be considered a method of rebirth; after all, as Subdue Evil said, if a Divine Skill occupied a spot, it would bar a cultivator’s future path. Being able to discard an unneeded Divine Skill through the Demon Shedding was like seeking life through a method of death in the way of cultivation.

This time, facing a Divine Repository-level Poisonous Fiend Divine Skill, An Jing didn’t turn and flee immediately—he opened his True Spirit Eye, seriously observing the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding’s use of Divine Skills.

He saw it, indeed the Demon Shedding had mastered something similar to a ’True Dragon Spine’ Divine Abnormality. It radiated root-like veins that branched out from its body, rooting in the world around it, domineeringly controlling all the nearby Poisonous Fiend—the Poisonous Fiend left by Shuo Yueying was its ammunition.

As long as the Poisonous Fiend was not exhausted, on Broken Blade Peak, it could be considered a half Divine Repository!

"Now is the time!"

But just then, An Jing pressed the detonation button in his hand—at once, at the entrance of the Primordial Spirit Cave, behind the Demon Shedding, a fierce Flame Thunder Talisman erupted violently, unleashing dreadful Fierce Flame.

The ’veins’ used by the Demon Shedding to control the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy immediately absorbed all this Thunder Qi and Flame Qi into its body.

If it were a true dragon, it would definitely have noticed the existence of these Thunder Talismans and even if it hadn’t, it would have cut them off in time.

But the Demon Shedding didn’t have that intelligence; it was still executing the ’annihilate An Jing’ mission, madly mobilizing the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy, absorbing all the Thunder Qi and Flame Qi that repelled its properties.

Then...accompanied by an explosion, silence followed.

The Half-Dragon Demon Shedding suddenly burst into large billows of gray-black smoke as a vast amount of pitch-black Demonic Qi poured out of the wounds the Immaculate Wood had inflicted, like blood, it was clearly crashing on the spot.

The Poisonous Fiend tidal wave moving towards An Jing also jammed in place, allowing him to turn around and sprint down the mountain.

After a while, the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding recovered its mobility. Seeing An Jing had already reached the bottom of the mountain, naturally, it wouldn’t pursue any further and was ready to turn back and continue recuperating in the Primordial Spirit Cave.

But this time, the Golden Qi inside the Primordial Spirit Cave suddenly surged violently, like a breaching dam, erupting towards the cave entrance at a ferocity dozens of times greater than before. The Half-Dragon Demon Shedding let out a wild howl but was unable to return to the cave.

Although the Immaculate Wood had no clear intelligence, it understood that the present state of the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding was extremely bad. As long as it could keep it blocked outside, the people outside would naturally take care of it!

And there, in the forests at the base of the mountain, a great fire suddenly blazed, the surging Blood Fiend flames soared, even briefly breaking through the atmosphere of the Frost Calamity, dyeing the sky a fiery red.
