Chapter 1409 - Wounded Red-headed Ghost
"Oh?"
Su Zimo's gaze shifted to Long Cang as he nodded slightly. "Not bad, you've already entered the Conjoint Body realm."
Long Cang had been stuck at the perfected Dharma Characteristic realm for many years.
Although he was defeated in the battle with Su Zimo, his fighting spirit was ignited!
Furthermore, he had benefited immensely from that battle. Not long after he returned to seclusion, he felt his cultivation realm shift and broke through to the Conjoint Body realm in one fell swoop!
Back when he was at the Dharma Characteristic realm, Long Cang comprehended two innate divine powers.
After entering the Conjoint Body realm, he comprehended another innate divine power and his combat strength increased exponentially. That was the reason why he looked for Su Zimo excitedly and wanted to fight again!
"Long Cang, what are you doing?!"
Long Xi raised her brows and glared at Long Cang, saying in an unfriendly manner, "Our young master have only just advanced to the Dharma Characteristic realm not long ago but you're already at the Conjoint Body realm. What's there to fight? It's completely unfair!"
"Haha!"
Long Cang burst into laughter and teased, "Your heart is already aching before the fight begins. If we really end up in a fight, the two of you can't join forces!"
"It's none of your business!"
Long Xi raised her fist.
"Forget it,"
Long Cang smiled. "Young master, we'll fight again after you advance to the Conjoint Body realm! In the Dragon race, you're the only one worthy of being my opponent!"
"Conjoint Body realm?"
Su Zimo smiled gently. "I am now."
"Hmm?"
Long Cang was stunned.
The dragons widened their eyes as well and looked at Su Zimo in disbelief, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
How many years had passed since the young master entered the Dharma Characteristic realm?
Dragons had long lifespans. All these years that passed felt like the blink of an eye for the dragons.
Su Zimo did not say much and merely released his might as a Conjoint Body slowly.
The dragons were shocked!
Indeed!
Long Cang was delighted as well as his eyes lit up. "Good, good, good! That's perfect! Let's fight in the Dragon Blood Battlefield again!"
"You're not my match,"
Su Zimo shook his head.
"Why?"
Long Cang's expression darkened in displeasure. "Are you looking down on me?"
After all, he possessed the bloodline of a five-clawed divine dragon which was the most noble bloodline of the Dragon race—he possessed a deep pride in himself.
He had indeed lost to Su Zimo in the past and he was convinced of his defeat in that battle as well.
However, he had never admitted defeat!
He believed that one day, he would defeat Su Zimo openly!
He wanted to retrieve the glory of the five-clawed divine dragon!
Su Zimo shook his head and did not explain. Instead, he channeled his bloodline and his bones crackled as an extremely terrifying aura burst forth from his body!
"Roar!"
He reared his head and howled!
That howl was not a pure dragon roar. Instead, it was mixed with a faint and clear phoenix cry!
Immediately after, Su Zimo's hands turned into a pair of menacing claws. Suddenly, a gigantic pair of wings extended from his back. Every single feather was scarlet and crystalline with blazing flames!
He did not transform into a Dragon Phoenix completely.
Even so, the taboo aura he emitted still caused the dragons' expressions to change and their hearts to tremble!
All the dragons present knelt on the ground with shocked expressions.
Even Long Cang lowered his head against the aura of a taboo!
At that moment, the bloodline of the five-clawed divine dragon was suppressed completely!
Not far away, there were initially a few dragon elders who were flying in the air. However, when that aura descended, they were shocked and descended from midair hurriedly with bewildered expressions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, powerful auras burst forth from the Dragon Bone Valley.
Some of the Grand Elders of the Dragon race who were initially in seclusion were alarmed by the taboo aura and came out one after another, looking over.
"Taboo Dragon Phoenix!"
The Blue Dragon Grand Elder exclaimed with widened eyes.
"He did it!"
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder could not help but burst into laughter emotionally.
All the dragons were shocked at the mention of the words Taboo Dragon Phoenix!
Long Cang felt a sense of helplessness when he looked at the figure in midair.
A primordial taboo!
Although his bloodline was shocking, he was talented and had many trump cards, up till now, he did not have the capability to challenge taboos.
He laughed bitterly and shook his head.
Initially, he was filled with confidence and looked forward to fighting Su Zimo again.
To think that the gap between the two of them would only increase after a few years.
"Long Mo,"
The voice of the Illumination Dragon Grand Elder sounded, "Follow me to meet someone."
Surveying his surroundings, Su Zimo's gaze landed on Long Cang. Nodding, he reverted to his human form and left with the Illumination Dragon Grand Elder.
Before long, the two of them arrived before a gigantic cave.
The cave reeked of medicinal herbs that were extremely pungent.
The cave was extremely spacious and there was only a single person. His scarlet hair was like flames and he had a rough appearance. With a burning gaze, he exuded an extremely powerful might!
"Red-headed ghost!"
Su Zimo was momentarily stunned.
"He has already transformed into a Dragon Phoenix?"
The red-headed ghost swept his gaze across Su Zimo and asked.
Su Zimo nodded before frowning. "Red-headed ghost, you're injured?"
"Yes,"
The red-headed ghost had a terrible expression.
"Why don't you head to the primordial divine spring to recuperate?" Su Zimo asked again.
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder at the side explained, "Although the primordial divine spring can revive the dead and regrow flesh, its impact on Ancestor realm experts is almost negligible."
"Who could have hurt you?"
Frowning, Su Zimo could not help but ask.
What sort of combat strength did the red-headed ghost possess?
Back then, he fought against the Dharma Emperor of the Buddhist monasteries with an internecine outcome and even singlehandedly destroyed two super sects!
But now, the red-headed ghost was injured!
The red-headed ghost said in a deep voice, "That day, after I left the Dragon Burial Valley, I did not return to the Dragon Bone Valley. Instead, I went to another place."
After a moment of silence, Su Zimo suddenly thought of something and blurted, "Thousand Demon Valley!"
"That's right!"
The red-headed ghost nodded. "You once mentioned to me that a blood face appeared in the Thousand Year Blood Sea of Thousand Demon Valley as well. I naturally had to find out more."
Back then, a blood face was hidden at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.
If not for Die Yue's appearance, even Monk Yuan Bei and the red-headed ghost would not have noticed the existence of that blood face!
That blood face could very likely be the true mastermind behind the destruction of the Great Qian Empire!
The death of the red-headed ghost's child might have something to do with that blood face as well.
Given the red-headed ghost's temperament, he would naturally not miss out upon receiving news of the blood face.
"You saw him?"
Su Zimo frowned and asked.
"No,"
The red-headed ghost had a grim expression. "Before I could see clearly what was beneath the Thousand Year Blood Sea, I was injured by it and nearly died within!"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
The Thousand Year Blood Sea was even more terrifying than he had imagined!
The Illumination Dragon Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "Zimo, that Blood Sea is extremely terrifying. You must not step foot into it before you cultivate to the Mahayana realm!"
Su Zimo nodded.
