Chapter 400: 227: Change of Azure Sky Flood
Xu Yan blinked, shifting his position in front of the giant dragon. It seemed this move was well within the Jade Crystal Serpent’s calculations. So, with an angered strike, the serpent’s enormous tail—burning with white flames— swept down like a bolt of thunder.
However, to its astonishment, Xu Yan once again evaded at the very last moment.
Bang!
The Jade Crystal Serpent tried to retract its attack, but it was too late. Its large tail still hit the giant dragon.
Boom!
The tomb trembled. The giant dragon that had been coiled around was shattered with a single blow.
In the moment of shattering, a wave of Divine Soul fluctuation echoed out.
Indistinctly, it seemed like a roar was heard.
At this moment, the prideful young martial artists from the Spirit Sect, including the young man from Yu Shen Sect, were all terrified.
The shattered head of the giant dragon revealed an entrance with ripples pulsating from it. The roar also came from there.
Splat!
The moonlight stone at the top of the crypt fell amidst the vibrations and shot towards the entrance like a star falling to earth.
As the moonlight stone fell, its glow illuminated the entrance and the pitch- black cave.
Crack!
The moonlight stone fell into the cave, lighting up a section where a enormous head with a protruding horn on its forehead could just be made out.
Faint Divine Soul fluctuations emanated from the cave.
“Is that Azure Sky Flood Dragon?”
A martial artist exclaimed in surprise and horror.
At this moment, the crypt was utterly dark, and the Jade Crystal Serpent had shrunk and disappeared into the shadows.
Xu Yan frowned a little. He had detected faint Divine Soul fluctuations just now, allowing him to avoid the attack by Jade Crystal Serpent.
After dodging attacks several times in succession and noticing that the fluctuations in the Divine Soul weren’t pursuing him but were always lingering above the giant dragon, he managed to trick the serpent into shattering the dragon.
“Go in!”
Suddenly, a young man from the Spirit Sect grabbed a scout and threw him into the hole.
“No!”
The scout screamed in fright, unable to halt his fall – he was only a peak grandmaster after all.
Thud!
Everyone looked through the entrance. Illuminated by the light of the moonlight stone, the scout slowly rose from the ground, directly under the giant head.
“It’s dead, it’s already dead!”
The voice of the scout echoed.
“You all, go down.”
The young man from the Spirit Sect wrinkled his brow, driving all the remaining scouts into the hole.
“Lords, the Azure Sky Flood Dragon is dead!”
Voices from the scouts echoed up.
“Let’s go, in!”
The young man from the Spirit Sect moved, stepping into the hole and descending into the cave. Xu Yan had already harvested all the Jade Flood Fruit on Bi Jiao Tree. The talented martial artists were seething with rage, but they could do nothing.
All the gifted martial artists entered the cave one by one.
Xu Yan stood still, his gaze fixed on a moving shadow that disappeared into the darkness.
Looking down from the entrance, the cave was now fairly lit as each of the martial artists present took out their sources of illumination.
Although they could not fully see the Azure Sky Flood Dragon’s body, they could clearly see its enormous head.
After contemplating for a moment, Xu Yan too entered the cave. The body of the Azure Sky Flood Dragon was intact. If Meng Chong could acquire its flesh and blood essence, he could quickly amass the foundation of his flesh, breaking through to the Indestructible Golden Body of the Big Day.
As soon as Xu Yan entered, the young man from the Spirit Sect and all the other youths glared at him furiously.
“You have already harvested all the spirit medicines above, none down here belong to you. If you dare to seize, we will kill you!”
The young man from the Spirit Sect said coldly.
Xu Yan just glanced at everyone present, revealing a trace of disdain, and retorted, “Weaklings are not qualified to talk nonsense!”
“You!”
The young man from the Spirit Sect and the others were furious.
However, Xu Yan completely ignored them, taking in the surroundings of the cave.
A huge blue-back, white-belly flood dragon was coiled inside the cave. It was surrounded by greenish-grey sand, and several dozen spiritual medicines were growing around it. These spiritual medicines emitted a faint, chilly air that circled around the flood dragon’s corpse.
The medicinal power of the spirit plants was also nurturing the dragon’s corpse.
“Spirit medicine of the first grade?”
Xu Yan was astonished in his heart. He didn’t recognize these spiritual medicines, but he could discern that they were all first-grade spiritual medicines!
The young man from the Spirit Sect and the others all took a deep breath, observing the cave. Now was not the time for conflict.
“Is this Azure Relic Sand?”
The young man from the Spirit Sect changed his expression as he looked at the green sand under and around the flood dragon’s corpse.
“The Azure Relic Sand that can preserve a corpse from decay and possess a spectral force?”
Dai Jun exclaimed in surprise.
The amount of Azure Relic Sand here was enormous, piled up thick. What he couldn’t figure out was, why the spectral force of the Azure Relic Sand seemed to be extremely weak. Had it been absorbed by the flood dragon’s corpse because too much time had passed, or was it because the corpse needed to absorb the spectral force to be preserved?
Although the young man from the Spirit Sect was from the top Spirit Sect in Yuzhou and had seen many spiritual treasures, he knew more about them than anyone else in the room.
“Spirit Underworld Flower of the first grade, Poison Soul Grass, Earth Yin Vine…”
The young man from the Spirit Sect, as he looked at the spirit medicines and spiritual materials around, spoke with a look of astonishment, “Initially, the spirit underworld flower and the earth yin vine must have been of a higher grade. Their grades fell because they lost so much medicinal power…”
