“This pendant is a high-quality replica of the Justice Pendant, a treasure held by the Law Enforcement Immortal, one of the twelve Human Immortals of the Holy Dynasty, capable of targeting only those below the Cave Heaven Realm, and it can only be used once.
Duration: one hour.”
Seeing this, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but smile faintly.
As expected, since it was a fateful opportunity, there was a chance to obtain it.
Given the varying strengths of the trial disciples entering the Moonlight Treasure Pagoda, setting any level of monster here seemed inappropriate.
Creating such a high-quality replica of the Justice Pendant was perfect, usable by anyone who came here.
This Moonlight Heavenly Lady really went to great lengths.
Yet, in the past hundred thousand years, not a single disciple had reached the fourth level, let alone this place.
“Thank you, Ancestor Grandmother. No matter what, I, Ling Xiao, am a disciple of the Moonlight Sect. Even if some are dissatisfied with me and scheme against me, my issue is with them, not the sect. I’ll just clear out this trash.”
Up to now, Ling Xiao genuinely felt grateful to the Moonlight Sect.
However, the Moonlight Sect was one thing; those targeting him still needed to be dealt with one by one, unless they submitted to him!
He reached out, took the Justice Pendant, and wore it around his neck.
In that instant, Ling Xiao felt a strange power surge into his body, an incredibly peculiar sensation.
Suddenly possessing the cultivation of the Two Polarities Heaven Realm made him feel a bit unaccustomed.
Fortunately, with the Mountain River Martial Soul, he quickly adapted to this power after a moment of discomfort.
Whoosh~~
The golden dragon wings unfurled again, and Ling Xiao returned to the black magma.
“Roar!!”
Seeing Ling Xiao reappear, the Primordial Hell Dragon let out a frenzied, excited roar.
It opened its massive jaws and lunged towards Ling Xiao.
With a gentle flap of his golden dragon wings, Ling Xiao’s figure darted away, leaving only an afterimage, effortlessly dodging the attack.
Boom!
Unable to retract its attack, the Primordial Hell Dragon’s massive head created a shocking shadow, crashing heavily into the magma. With a deafening roar, black magma scattered in all directions, like a shower of pear blossoms.
It took two or three minutes for the chaos to subside.
Floating in mid-air, a cold smirk played on Ling Xiao’s lips. He drew his Ice Dragon Sword, and with a step, his body almost instantly reached the neck of the Primordial Hell Dragon.
At this moment, black flames burned beneath his feet. Had it been before, his legs would have been ruined.
But now, with the Justice Pendant’s effect, his cultivation had reached the Heaven Realm. The Wind Phenomenon seeped from his body, forcing the black flames back.
They couldn’t touch him.
Then, his Ice Dragon Sword gathered true essence, accompanied by the booming sound of thunder and lightning, and encased in water-blue ice crystals, it fiercely stabbed towards the Primordial Hell Dragon’s neck.
Thunder Phenomenon, Water Condensation!
The water-blue ice crystals and black flames intertwined, creating a dazzling display of vibrant colours that mesmerised onlookers.
“Chink!”
The Ice Dragon Sword, wrapped in thunder and ice, gave the Primordial Hell Dragon no chance to dodge. The sword tip pierced deeply into its neck, breaking through the glossy black-purple dragon scales. The ice crystals shattered, and lightning ravaged.
A torrent of blood sprayed from beneath the dragon scales, falling into the black flames.
Remarkably, the Primordial Hell Dragon’s blood was so potent that even the black flames couldn’t burn it. Instead, it turned into crystal-like droplets, sinking into the magma.
“Roar~~”
Its neck suddenly attacked and severely wounded.
The Primordial Hell Dragon let out a piercing wail, its massive body diving into the magma, attempting to drag Ling Xiao into the pitch-black molten rock, as if that would kill him.
Unfortunately for it.
With the Justice Pendant’s effect, Ling Xiao wasn’t just enhanced in attack; his defence had become terrifyingly robust, and even his Mutated Ghost Fire Martial Soul had strengthened.
Sinking into the magma, though it sizzled, Ling Xiao remained unscathed.
This strength astonished even Ling Xiao himself.
The Primordial Hell Dragon was enraged!
A mere human dared to stand on its body!
Its body twisted into a bizarre shape, enveloping Ling Xiao. Its rows of gleaming wings shimmered with eerie light.
“Heh, throwing a tantrum, are you?”
Facing such a situation, Ling Xiao remained unfazed.
“I’ve never lost to an opponent of the same realm! Even a Primordial Hell Dragon is no exception! You may be stronger than warriors of the same realm, but I’m stronger than you!”
Ling Xiao was never arrogant, only confident.
Before, he could only flee from such an attack.
But now, he could ignore it entirely, as it posed no threat to him.
At that moment, a figure appeared near the valley.
It was Dai Yuling.
Dai Yuling’s aura had changed significantly from before; she seemed different, though it was hard to pinpoint exactly how.
Standing atop the valley, Dai Yuling gaped at the terrifying energy radiating from the blinding black light, drawing a sharp breath.
What kind of battle was this? How could it be so terrifying!
“Boom!”
At a certain moment, the Primordial Hell Dragon’s attack finally unleashed.
Its body bore a hundred pairs of wings, releasing two hundred beams of black light.
These beams formed a ring that rapidly shrank, aiming to crush Ling Xiao completely when it tightened enough.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang!
Terrifying energy fluctuations rippled outward, the valley exploding as magma sprayed, forming dense pillars of molten fire.
This was merely the energy spilling from the ring, yet it caused such devastating destruction.
What would happen if it hit its target?
Above the valley, Dai Yuling’s eyes glowed an unusual emerald green, as if the surrounding plants were under her control.
Even the plants in the valley, capable of withstanding the black flames, transmitted the battle’s visuals to her.
Witnessing the apocalyptic scene in the valley, her entire body trembled.
Her strength had grown, and her senses had sharpened. This attack could easily level Tianfeng City.
She didn’t know how Ling Xiao would counter it. Even a Heaven Realm fourth or fifth-tier expert would struggle against such an attack.
At the very least, they wouldn’t dare take it head-on.
“Ling Xiao’s strength seems to match that monster’s, but even so, he can’t withstand this blow.”
Dai Yuling felt nervous, yet strangely, she also felt an inexplicable trust in Ling Xiao.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that Ling Xiao had a plan.
