Chapter 1317: Chapter 541: The King of Thunder Flood Dragon’s Sorrow [Subscription Requested]_3
Despite being hundreds of miles apart, the blinding lightning instantly forced Zhou Chun to close his eyes, with two streams of blood tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyelids.
Only after a few breaths did the earth-shattering explosion roar belatedly arrive!
What happened?
Zhou Chun forced his eyes open, gathering mana in them to suppress the discomfort, and looked in the direction of the explosion’s origin.
At this moment, the silver lightning still hadn’t dissipated, but it was no longer as dazzling as before.
Zhou Chun could only see a sky full of silver white.
After dozens of breaths, the silver-white slightly faded, and the blue sky could be vaguely seen.
Through these dozens of breaths of contemplation, Zhou Chun gradually formed a hypothesis in his heart.
"Could it be?! Did it really self-detonate its Demon Core?! That was a Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon!!"
Zhou Chun muttered to himself, his face full of shock.
Yes, he felt that the earth-shattering explosion just now couldn’t have been caused by any sort of divine skills, or rather, it was impossible for a Fifth-Order existence to achieve such a feat!
The only explanation was that the Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon detonated its own Demon Core, and perhaps its entire demon body!
Demon Core self-detonation is originally the most powerful means of high-rank demon beasts, a method capable of battling enemies beyond their rank!
A Fifth-Rank low-grade peak Thunder Flood Dragon self-detonating its Demon Core would certainly heavily wound even a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator if they were too close!
But what puzzled Zhou Chun was why the Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon would do such a thing?
With its divine skills, even if it truly encountered enemies several times stronger besieging it, there should still be some way to escape.
After all, among the cultivators besieging it, there was no Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator.
So, as long as it truly wanted to escape and was willing to pay a certain price, it should have a good chance of slipping away.
If all else failed, it could simply abandon its demon body, teleporting away with its Demon Core, which Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators couldn’t possibly catch up to!
Zhou Chun couldn’t believe that to kill this Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon, those Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would be willing to chase its Demon Core as Qingxiao True Person once did; they might not even have that capability.
"Something major is going to happen! Is there going to be another war between the two clans?"
Zhou Chun muttered gravely, feeling incredibly heavy-hearted.
Indeed, with the death of the Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon, he no longer needed to hand over his beloved pet, Baibai, to the Thunder Flood Dragon, securing his cherished companion.
However, with the death of the Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon, the Flood Dragon Clan would certainly not let this be!
They might even launch a beast tide to attack Jingguo Country again.
At that time, he and the Zhou Family would undoubtedly be dragged into another war and might become the primary targets of the beast tide!
The mere thought of this made it impossible for him to feel any joy.
And just as Zhou Chun worried over the grave consequences caused by the demise of the Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon, the instigators of this whole affair all wore equally grim expressions.
"Damn beast actually dared to detonate its Demon Core! Xuanyue Junior Apprentice-brother died a wrongful death!!"
Yinyue True Person’s face turned livid as he looked at the half piece of spiritual treasure in his hand, his heart bleeding.
When the Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon self-detonated its Demon Core and body earlier, he managed to escape just in time, only looking disheveled and sustaining minor injuries.
However, another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from the Moon Wheel Sect, Xuanyue True Person, didn’t react in time and was taken down with it, not even having the chance for his Nascent Soul to escape!
Originally, the Moon Wheel Sect had four Nascent Soul Stage True Persons, an unparalleled presence in Jingguo Country and even in the surrounding nations.
But now, with Xuanyue True Person’s fall, the Moon Wheel Sect was down to only three Nascent Soul Stage True Persons.
Moreover, the most fatal point was that Xuanyue True Person was the youngest Nascent Soul Stage True Person in the Moon Wheel Sect, just a few decades older than Tianjing True Person!
With the fall of this youngest Nascent Soul Stage True Person, and another Nascent Soul Stage True Person in the sect nearing the end of his lifespan with less than a hundred years left,
the Moon Wheel Sect might not be able to maintain its position as the leading power in Jingguo Country a hundred years from now.
In such circumstances, how could Yinyue True Person not be furious and alarmed?
"Cough, cough, cough, Taoist Friend Yinyue, what now? That beast detonated its Demon Core and demon body, preventing us from proceeding with the original plan to use its Demon Core and Demon Soul to compel the Golden Horn Dragon King to ransom it, and we’ve thoroughly offended the Flood Dragon Clan. How should we respond to their impending revenge?"
While Yinyue True Person was brooding over the sect’s future prospects, a weak voice interrupted his thoughts.
Turning his head, he saw a tall, sturdy man with tattered robes and a severed arm, looking at him with a worried expression.
Judging by the appearance of the sturdy man, it was apparent he was also an unfortunate victim of the Fifth-Rank Thunder Flood Dragon’s Demon Core self-detonation, failing to dodge the majority of the explosion’s power as Yinyue had.
"It’s a pity. If only this fellow had also perished in the explosion!"
Such a thought momentarily flashed through Yinyue True Person’s mind before he coldly said, "If the Flood Dragon Clan seeks revenge, so be it. Aren’t we trying to lure out the Golden Horn Dragon King? I fear it won’t dare to retaliate!"
Upon hearing this, the sturdy man’s face turned bitter, and he said with a grimace, "That’s easy to say, but Taoist Friend Yang not only lost a peerless Dharma treasure but also suffered significant injuries. If a few more Fifth-Rank Flood Dragons come, Yang won’t be able to fight anymore!"
Hearing this, Yinyue True Person’s face immediately turned stern, and he said in a deep voice, "Taoist Friend Yang, your words weigh too much. At our cultivation level, as long as the physical body isn’t destroyed, what’s difficult about recovering from a few injuries!"
