Chapter 311 - 271: Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod, Advent of the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake
The six most powerful Fourth Realm experts of Cangzhou Prefecture were all occupied with setting up the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array, leaving them completely unable to spare any attention for the Dark Demon Dragon.
Additionally, one hundred and two Venerable Ultimates were also setting up the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array.
Therefore, this was the moment Cangzhou Prefecture’s defenses were at their weakest. With the Dark Demon Dragon attacking now, all it had to do was start a terrifying massacre in the Prefecture Mansion. The power of Cangzhou Prefecture’s people would then collapse, leading to the failure of the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array’s formation.
Currently, the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array had not yet been successfully established. Although the power of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts had been summoned, they had not officially taken their positions. As a result, the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array could not yet exert its true power.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!!
Outside the city.
The Dark Demon Dragon’s body was immense. It was pitch-black all over, and a terrifying power of the Dark Law surged around it, seeming to drag the surrounding space and time into endless darkness.
Upon closer inspection, the Dark Demon Dragon was definitely over ten thousand meters long. This Four Realms Demon Fiend: Dark Demon Dragon had originally followed the Fierce Beast Path, but something went wrong during its breakthrough to the Fourth Realm. The Dark Law devoured its consciousness, turning it into a Puppet of the Dark Law.
"This is bad!"
"It’s the Dark Demon Dragon!"
"!!!"
On the 9th Layer.
Everyone’s pupils contracted as they paled in horror. They never expected this Four Realms Demon Fiend: Dark Demon Dragon to appear here at this critical moment.
The crisis had arrived.
"!!!"
Cangba Dao and the others’ pupils contracted.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
The next moment.
One after another, new Arrays rose up around Cangzhou Prefecture. These were actually the Arrays that Cangba Dao and the others had set up.
In fact, Cangba Dao and his group were already aware that this Four Realms Demon Fiend: Dark Demon Dragon was lurking near Cangzhou Prefecture. They knew it was watching them covetously.
However, they couldn’t just not set up the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array. Besides, some time ago, a seventh expert who had stepped into the Fourth Realm had emerged in Cangzhou Prefecture.
Although Cangba Dao and the others didn’t know who it was, with a seventh Fourth Realm expert present, they only needed that person to hold off the Dark Demon Dragon for a while until the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array was successfully established.
Then, all their problems would be solved.
To be cautious, Cangba Dao and his group had still set up numerous Arrays, hoping to use their power to block the invasion of this Four Realms Demon Fiend: Dark Demon Dragon.
RUMBLE!!!
The roar of explosions echoed in all directions.
At this very moment, many experts were already following their prior plans, manipulating the Arrays to fight the Dark Demon Dragon and halt its advance.
ROAR!!!
The Dark Demon Dragon’s power was immense. It roared out a breath of dark dragon flame, and the power of the Dark Law crushed everything in its path, destroying one Array after another.
RUMBLE!!!
Many buildings had already collapsed.
"Damn it!"
"This Dark Demon Dragon is too strong! It’s a Fourth Realm Demon Fiend. With our strength, we can’t possibly stop its advance."
"If this continues, it won’t be long before the Dark Demon Dragon breaks into the Prefecture Mansion! When that happens, too many common people will die, causing a panic. The power of the Ten Thousand Spirits and all the people, which we worked so hard to gather, will dissipate. The Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array will collapse, and its formation will fail."
"..."
The expressions of the crowd were filled with anger and helplessness.
This was because they had already given it their all.
Unfortunately, their strength was too weak; they simply couldn’t stop the Dark Demon Dragon’s advance.
"Who on earth is the seventh Fourth Realm expert? Where are they? Why haven’t they appeared yet? At a time like this, are they still going to hide?"
"Yeah!"
"A while back, the Cangzhou Dao Bell rang nine times, which meant a seventh Fourth Realm Law Realm expert was born! Why haven’t they made a move yet?"
"Are they just going to stand by and watch Cangzhou Prefecture fall completely?"
"..."
At this moment, the crowd was roaring in frustration, desperate for that seventh Fourth Realm Law Realm expert to take action and block the Dark Demon Dragon’s path.
This was because among everyone present, all the Pattern Realm experts had already made their move, using the power of the Arrays to obstruct the Dark Demon Dragon. But they were no match for it at all. The difference in their levels was too great, making it impossible to halt its advance.
Now, they could only place their last hope on that unknown seventh Fourth Realm expert.
If that unknown seventh Fourth Realm expert didn’t act, or if they were defeated and couldn’t stop the Dark Demon Dragon, the formation of the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array was doomed to fail.
At that point, Cangzhou Prefecture would likely face no other fate than to fall.
This was because the process of setting up the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array—by summoning the power of the Four Symbols Guardian Divine Beasts and gathering the power of the Ten Thousand Spirits and all the people—would attract countless mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits.
If the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array’s formation failed, leaving them without the great Array’s protection and having already attracted hordes of mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits, Cangzhou Prefecture would naturally be unable to resist. Its fall would be the only outcome.
Therefore, since the decision was made to set up the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array, it absolutely had to succeed. Only with its successful formation could they use it to defend against the mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits.
Failure was not an option.
Failure meant certain death.
Of course, even if they didn’t set up the Ten Thousand Spirits Four Symbols Array, relying solely on the Great Zhou Martial Country’s National Protection Array wouldn’t allow Cangzhou Prefecture to hold out for long. It would just be a slow death.
Right now, there were only three ways to protect the Nine Provinces Land.
The first way.
That was for the Great Zhou Martial Country to re-condense the Emperor Dragon Qi and use it to shelter the Nine Provinces Land. This would protect the land from the erosion of mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits.
The second way.
Was, naturally, to overthrow the Great Zhou Martial Country. Upon its ruins, a brand-new Human Race Dynasty could be established to re-condense a new Emperor Dragon Qi. This could also shelter the Nine Provinces Land and protect it from the erosion of mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits.
The third way.
Was for an unparalleled expert of unimaginable power to emerge. This supreme expert could lay down a supreme array with their supreme might, thereby sheltering the Nine Provinces Land.
Then, regardless of whether a Dynasty was established in the Nine Provinces Land or if it was plagued by endless wars, as long as it had the protection of this supreme array, it would not be eroded by mindless Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits.
Three methods.
None of these three methods were easy or simple. In fact, they were all nearly impossible to achieve.
"Wang Miao, you go."
Xu Qing’s expression was calm as he looked at Wang Miao. With a wave of his right hand, he took out a Black Dragon Tripod, which had already reached Level 20.
...
[Black Dragon Tripod Level 20: 0/500,000,000,000 (This is a Top-Grade Nine-Layered Law Artifact refined from primary materials such as Black Dragon Bone, Abyssal Demon Iron, and Celestial Divine Water. It has been upgraded nineteen times, and its body is now engraved with eighty-one Law Patterns, enough to contend with a Law Body.)]
...
"As you command."
Wang Miao clasped his hands and bowed to Xu Qing. He accepted the Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod with both hands and looked toward the rampaging Dark Demon Dragon before taking a step forward.
SWISH!
Wang Miao’s figure vanished.
The next moment.
Wang Miao appeared before the Dark Demon Dragon. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he blocked the beast’s advance, his body also emitting a terrifying Dark Law.
Dark Law against Dark Law.
BANG BANG BANG!!!
Explosions and roars erupted.
"That’s..."
"It’s him! It must be him!"
"The seventh expert to enter the Fourth Realm!"
"Finally! He’s finally shown himself!"
"..."
Seeing this, the crowd immediately began to shout in excitement.
ROAR!
The Dark Demon Dragon roared, its terrifying dragon breath raging as it unleashed powerful Divine Techniques. Wang Miao wielded the Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod to fight back.
In truth, Wang Miao had only just stepped into the Body Law Realm. At most, he had comprehended and mastered about two percent of the Dark Law. This Fourth Realm Demon Fiend: Dark Demon Dragon, on the other hand, had naturally surpassed Wang Miao in its comprehension and mastery of the Dark Law, estimated to be at around ten percent.
Therefore, Wang Miao should not have been a match for the Dark Demon Dragon.
However, Xu Qing had given the Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod to Wang Miao. By wielding the Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod, it was almost equivalent to mastering a complete Law.
This way, as long as Wang Miao could fully unleash the Mighty Power of the Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod, he could even fight against an existence that had already condensed a Law Body.
Gradually, Wang Miao gained the upper hand in the battle.
"Suppress!"
BOOM!
A tremendous noise.
The Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod descended, carrying a terrifying Divine Power of Law. It smashed directly onto the Dark Demon Dragon’s body, suppressing it so forcefully that its skin split open and flesh flew everywhere.
ROAR!!!
The Dark Demon Dragon let out a wail of agony.
"So... so strong..."
"Hiss..."
"This seventh expert who entered the Fourth Realm is so incredibly powerful! He’s suppressing the Dark Demon Dragon all by himself!"
"He’s just too strong."
"..."
Everyone was utterly shocked.
ROAR!!!
Finally, after being repeatedly suppressed and injured by Wang Miao’s Level 20 Black Dragon Tripod, the Four Realms Demon Fiend, the Dark Demon Dragon, instinctively tried to flee.
’Cabbage Flower Snake.’
A thought crossed Xu Qing’s mind. His consciousness connected to the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake, far away in Yong Province. ’There is a Dark Demon Dragon here. It has reached the Fourth Realm and is massive, over ten thousand meters long. You can come and devour it. It should be enough for you to level up.’
’As you command, Master.’
Yong Province.
During this time, the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake had actually devoured many powerful Giant Beasts, but it had not managed to devour a King Beast, so it hadn’t leveled up and was still Level 40.
After hearing Xu Qing’s command, the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake didn’t hesitate for a moment.
’Divine Technique! Space Travel!’
BZZZZ!
Space twisted, forming an enormous wormhole. The incomparably massive body of the Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake drilled into it.
Space Travel.
It crossed a vast distance.
ROAR!!!
The next moment.
The Level 40 Cabbage Flower Snake passed through the spatial wormhole and appeared outside the city of Cangzhou Prefecture as if from thin air, blocking the Dark Demon Dragon’s escape route.
