Chapter 406 - 302: Critical Moment

Bajie and Xiaoyou had each set out from two directions to meet Long Yi. Once one of them found Long Yi, the other dragon would immediately rush to him. Although Bajie flew a little slower than Xiaoyou, it got lucky. When Long Yi emerged from the ground, Bajie was passing by. It immediately sensed the sudden increase in the ’signal’ and rushed over without hesitation.

Compared to the average dragon of Dragon Clan, the colossal size of the Demon Abyss dragon brought an enormous amount of pressure, and its hot molten iron even made all the dragons and Dragon Knights fearful. Everyone instinctively got out of the way, but Long Yi was drenched with the molten iron!

Dragon Breath Armor!

The scalding molten iron turned into armor. Long Yi took advantage of the momentum and leapt high. Bajie promptly ascended, and Long Yi grabbed Bajie’s tail and jumped onto its head.

"Fight while retreating! We can’t afford to get entangled with them!"

Long Yi immediately said in his mind.

Had it been a normal time, Long Yi would have definitely wanted to ’discuss’ things with these three hundred people and teach them a lesson. However, Little Zi’s situation was quite bad at the moment, and Long Yi truly wasn’t in the mood to play along. At this time, Long Yi was quite envious of the Black Dragon Empire’s technique, the Black Wormhole. If the White Dragon Empire also had this magic, it would be so good! He could return home in an instant and even avoid all the hassle.

However, Long Yi understood that even in the Black Dragon Empire, the consumption of invoking a Black Wormhole once was astonishing. Moreover, the transportation distance of the Black Wormhole and its depletion was squared, which meant, every time the transportation distance increased, the energy and resources consumed would square. That’s why most of the time, Black Wormholes were used for escaping and couldn’t be used to return home directly. In the Black Dragon Empire, all those who could cast the Black Wormhole magic, as well as the Black Wormholes scrolls they produced, were under the Emperor’s control. If there was no special purpose, the Emperor would never let anyone touch his Black Wormhole.

Long Yi just wished it in his heart, but the surrounding Dragon Knights would not give Long Yi such leisure time.

"He is alone! Kill him!"

Tilian commanded.

The three hundred Dragon Knights immediately charged and launched a desperate attack against Long Yi.

Given Bajie’s massive size and its acceleration far superior to the surrounding Dragon Clan, the obstructed airspace didn’t allow Bajie to accelerate at full speed.

"Damn, these bastards just won’t quit!"

Long Yi cursed, and at the same time, he roared.

"Those in my way! Die!"

With the Crystal Greatsword in hand, he swung a Fighting Aura slash! Bajie spat out molten iron!

"Roll over!"

A Dragon Knight that was flipped to the top by Long Yi was chopped in two.

"Cobra!"

A dragon rushed up from below and was grabbed by Bajie. A dragon knight was bitten off, and with a strong pull by both claws, the wings of the dragon were torn apart!

"Climb! Full speed climb!"

Bajie spat out molten iron, its massive body under the noonday sun rose into the air.

"Dive! Body protected by Fighting Aura! Ram and kill everyone!"

Bajie and Long Yi started a large-scale slaughter. The Dragon Knights of Black Dragon Empire were no match for them. However, they didn’t retreat. They were buying time with their lives!

Tilian watched from afar, refusing to approach the battlefield. As soon as Long Yi showed any signs of charging in his direction, he would immediately retreat at high speed.

It wasn’t out of fear but because, in his opinion, staying alive was more important than anything else. He could not die and would not die.

One after another, dragons fell from the sky, dragon knights screamed, cut in half. On the battlefield, Long Yi was relentless. Once he decided to kill someone, he would make sure that person was dead for sure.

"Everyone! Dragon Breath Reincarnation!"

Tilian suddenly commanded.

Suddenly, the Dragon Knights showed joy on their faces. Dragon Breath Reincarnation was their biggest weapon, because of its severe side effects, it was temporarily not allowed to be used. Previously, Reiz claimed to have found a solution and was waiting for adjustments. But now that Reiz was dead, the adjustment process had to be halted.

In the long run, the side effects of Dragon Breath Reincarnation would inevitably be significant, but now, if they didn’t use it, it would probably be impossible to hold on to Long Yi.

With his command, black Dragon Breath instantly covered all the Dragon Knights. In an instant, the bodies of these Dragon Knights enlarged significantly. This was the first change of Dragon Breath Reincarnation. If they endured a huge amount of Thunderstrikes in this state, they would undergo a second transformation, turn into half-human, half-dragon creatures, stronger but duller.

This change immediately brought pressure to Long Yi, especially under the circumstances of retreating while fighting, his situation got grim.

To escape quickly now, Long Yi had two choices. The first one was to release his ultimate trump card and instantly destroy these enemies, which was utter nonsense. Unless it came to dying, Long Yi wouldn’t even consider this option. The second choice was to use a pact to forcefully summon Isrile, and with the Dragon Hunting Spider’s immense power, make the enemies in front of him retreat. But, this would almost immediately expose the existence of the Dragon Hunting Spider, and Long Yi planned to use Isrile as a secret weapon.

In this case, things were becoming troublesome.

According to Bajie’s estimates, even if Xiaoyou rushed here with all her might, it would take at least an hour. Furthermore, the backup team from the White Dragon Empire was engaged in battle with the Dragon Knights of the Black Dragon Empire, pushing towards this location. Even if everything went smoothly, it would still take at least three hours to arrive.

This was absolutely unacceptable!

Completely unacceptable!

In terms of combat, even if another thousand or ten thousand soldiers showed up, Long Yi wasn’t afraid.

But Little Zi was reaching her limit!

What should he do!?

What should he do!?

At this time.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the battlefield. No one noticed the golden gate silently opening against the backdrop of the sun in the bright sky above.

That was the gate to the Heaven Realm, the only passage connecting it to the Human Realm. Opening the gate once would cause an energy turbulence, and suppressing it would require great power. This power came from a complicated chain mechanism. The key to this mechanism was in Selena’s possession. Unless it was something urgent, nobody would choose to open the gate of the Heaven Realm.

But now, the gate to the Heaven Realm had been opened. Selena stepped out from the gate, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"I must be going insane, as is my sister. I can’t believe I used such tremendous power to secretly open the Heaven Realm gate for such a trivial matter," Selena sighed. Selena didn’t use the key to open the gate, as it would alert certain individuals. Hence, she chose to use her own power to forcibly open a crack in the gate. In her chest, a surge of energy was flowing powerfully, replenishing her lost power at any time. This was the most at ease she had felt in over a decade, which was ironically thanks to Elsa.

Selena shook her head. She knew she was clever and, although young, was adept at the game of political power. But she could never figure out her sister. What was she trading her most precious possession for? Just to toss a couple of worthless shards from the sky?

Two shards of Crystal Core, larger than herself, were retrieved from her personal space. They gleamed brightly and contained remarkable energy, but what use could they serve?

Selena was baffled and too tired to ponder. All of this was Elsa’s request, and to her, it was nothing more than a wave of her hand.

"I really want to see what’s so special about this Long Yi you’re so concerned about. Do you really think he’s powerful enough to enter the higher Plane?"

Selena sneered and said nothing more. She held the two massive Crystal Cores and, targeting Long Yi below, let them fall successively. Then, without a second glance, she turned back to the crack in the Heaven Realm gate. The dazzling gate slowly closed and disappeared, and all this went unnoticed by anyone.

Of course, Long Yi didn’t see it either. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a familiar power descending from the sky. Almost simultaneously, a flow of special information surged into his mind!

"Damn it! Roll to the left at high speed! Move out! Leave the battlefield at full speed! Prepare for full defense!"

Long Yi shouted, and Bajie’s massive figure sprung into action immediately, brushing off the attacks that came its way. Far away, Tilian was suspicious of Long Yi and Bajie’s movements. Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure descended from the sky, prompting a palpable sense of threat to rise within him!

Run!

Without a second thought, Tilian signaled the Dragon Rider in front of him and turned to flee. He was already watching the battle from a large distance, with no guards around. Moreover, Long Yi’s movements could easily mislead others into thinking he was attempting to escape, further diverting the attention of the Dragon Riders.

Yet, in the next second, an ominous energy fell from the sky, roaring like a primordial beast.

Boom!

A brilliant burst of light shot skyward!

The mountains were instantly flattened!

The whistling energy turbulence grazed the air, issuing spine-chilling noises.

All three hundred Dragon Riders were wiped out, vaporizing into fundamental particles without leaving even the tiniest fragment behind.

After a long while.

A hand suddenly emerged from the ground, followed by a blood-covered person.

"Phew!"

Long Yi spat a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Damn, that was brutal!" Long Yi wanted to curse aloud, but his several broken ribs made breathing difficult.

Bajie also crawled out afterward, its tail looking somewhat twisted. It grabbed its tail and forcefully straightened it back.

He looked around to find everyone gone. There was only a giant, glowing crystal in the center of the immense pit.

"Elsa, your sister’s character is hard to determine, but I’m sure she can’t be that bad," thought Long Yi. He struggled to stand and staggered towards the forefront. (To be continued...
