Ning Zheng was confident that given the Dragon's long lifespan, he too could, like nurturing a Dharma Aspect, cultivate an army of Embers imbued with his own Three Flowers.
Currently, his army consisted of only two pitiful individuals, Princess Xin'e and the No-Life Whale.
The army was still in its nascent stages.
It was fair to say that Ning Zheng's cultivation ti was too short, and his foundation was far inferior.
"An army attacking like a flood, the target too large, I'll retract my bubble state that defends against physical attacks."
Ning Zheng's figure flickered, swiftly reverting to a nord Dharma Aspect.
Due to the gathering of too many Dragon Race bubbles, the shadow bubble compressed continuously until countless bubbles rged into a pure shadow.
At this mont, he was as dark as ink, his entire being akin to an obsidian statue, entering another type of transformative state, devouring all surrounding light.
Pure shadow form.
No facial features, just a three-dinsional shadow.
This is Ning Zheng's intricate manipulation skill, enhanced as he breaks through the One Heart Realm.
A hundred years ago, his control of the giant Embers Avatar was too crude, not even capable of compressing its form, but now it has transford significantly under compression.
Bang!
Ning Zheng's silhouette flickered, entering the enemy's shadow.
"Hiding in the shadows?"
The Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor showed a hint of astonishnt.
Splat!
The shadow behind him began attacking him relentlessly.
The Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor swiftly retaliated, striking his own shadow vehently, but his shadow seed like an illusion, unaffected by his blows.
"Is this guy truly a master at playing with shadows?" The Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor showed a trace of anger; he underestimated the opponent verbally but took him seriously in reality.
Xi Rong's na was already renowned, and coupled with the Sect Leader at the One Heart Realm, his basic stats had now surpassed a typical self-transformation realm.
At this point, his combat power equaled the average level of Saints across generations.
Being overpowered by such a younger opponent was already an embarrassing affair.
What turned him into a laughing stock was that the opponent mysteriously beca his shadow, and being nad the Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor, if he couldn't devour his own shadow, wouldn't he be ridiculed by all?
He might as well be renad as 'devoured by the Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor'.
"What's the principle here? Shadows are part of energy, yet the attacks have no effect, does the shadow function like a black hole absorbing energy?"
He showed so peculiarity:
"No, it can't completely ignore attacks; it must be absorbing Yin attribute abilities... I possess the Yin attribute, getting absorbed by his kind, Shadows fear fire, gold; using fire or gold attribute attacks should be effective."
The world's divine techniques are extraordinarily diverse.
In combat, exploring the opponent's powerful divine techniques and avoiding a first-ti kill has always been a crucial lesson for powerhouses.
He instantly realized Ning Zheng's abilities and drew an Upper Grade Immortal Weapon with fire attribute from his Storage Ring to stab fiercely at his shadow.
Whoosh!
His shadow swayed violently, twisting away from the attack.
"Just as expected!!" The Shadow Devourer sneered, "You've earned my respect, young One Heart Realm sect leader, for matching to this extent..."
...
...
In the distance.
"Are you sure it's erupted?" A white Holy Dragon spoke with a gentle female voice, her expression serious, "I've probed with my Divine Sense, but nothing happened.
She was a rare support healer with exceptionally high probing capability.
Under her Divine Sense, nothing occurred at the sealing site; all appeared normal.
Moreover, that seal wasn't sothing to be torn lightly, even she would have to exert great effort to manage it.
The Holy Dragons beside her sensed nothing amiss either.
"I sensed a trace of aura; even just a trace, I'm practically sure of it."
The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor sneered, "That guy snuck in under the guise of possessing the Immortal Spirit Root, now the foremost figure in the Nine-State, disregarding us old Celestial Spirit Root Giant Dragons."
He had to acknowledge.
With the Immortal Path opened, the Nine Great Dragon Emperors were slightly lagging behind the tis.
Once they evolve to possess the Immortal Spirit Root, they too would undergo a transformative change like Xin Xichen.
"If that entity erges, it'll be big trouble." The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor's expression turned serious.
That guy wasn't blind arrogance; he must have great assurance, his confidence likely stemming from Immortal Firewood, prepared to burn up that Xian...
"But he doesn't truly understand its terror." As the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor returned, he saw that the Sealing Array was already shattered.
Xian had vanished.
"I... Who am I?" Xin Xichen crouched, hugging legs, lowering his head, seemingly just born from the seal, adapting to the world's environnt, "Am I Xian?? No, I am... Immortal!!"
The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor fell into silence.
"Startled, are you?"
Xin Xichen stood up, calmly, "That thing's been burnt away by ; he's now on my forehead... See, he's just a fla now."
The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor gazed aningfully at Xin Xichen's forehead, where flas swayed, countless characters faintly forming Xian's silhouette.
Indeed, the Nine-State Emperor's abilities had undergone significant transformation... burning the opponent already led to acquiring so of the opponent's abilities?
aning.
He now was another incomplete Xian?
The Human Race truly were cunning, shifting attention... truly letting him succeed.
"Burned it; you got what you wished for."
The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor's gaze chilled slightly, "I don't intend to delve into this matter with you, but currently our issue is how to reseal Xian, or the whole world would be troubled."
"This guy, won't just disappear because you've burned him!"
He spoke, and then a crude, hasty shadowy draft reappeared on the ground.
Evidently, it resurrected from Embers and as Earth-bound Spirit, its revival speed contradicts logic.
His current might also defies logical reasoning.
"Is it Phoenix's type?! Rapid Resurrection from Embers?" Xin Xichen's complexion shifted, watching that guy's swift resurrection, finding it baffling, "How does he revive so quickly?"
"What Phoenix type, it's likely one of Phoenix's ancient ancestors." The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor snorted.
"No, energy isn't infinite; where does he get the revival energy?"
Xin Xichen abruptly realized sothing, noticing dense underground Embers like a tree's roots, already centered around Xian growing.
Xian is a tree, the Ember roots sprawling in all directions, endless Nine-State earth veins rapidly rearranging, pouring directly to him, providing enormous revival energy.
Rustle.
The earth veins surged, like slender serpents, countless roots overwhelmingly surrounded their supre king, the whole world seed to cheer for their primordial source's return.
"I..."
This mysterious ancient entity that caused celestial anomalies, Xian at this mont finally spoke.
Countless line sketches squird into a living silhouette, articulately speaking his first words upon arriving in the future:
"I've weakened my powers to the lowest; future beings, you must kill once again."
