Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

When that giant flood dragon had coiled up, Zong Shou tossed out several talismans to buff the body of the lightning winged flood dragon, causing the lighting glow to be even brighter, shining brightly all around.

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed with anticipation.

To keep it a secret, after this lightning winged flood dragon had awakened, he didn’t personally witness its fighting strength.

Rebuilding its body and entering grade 7, from snake evolving into a flood dragon, its strength should be far exceeding that of Long Ruo’s black flood dragon. Even if it had comparable strength it would be enough to allow him to leave safely today.

He casually waved out with his hand and a tall and large silver bear also suddenly appeared, standing solemnly at the outer portion of the spell altar.

Although that demon eye silver bear only had a spirit beast body, after it mutated its combat strength could be compared to peak Xuanwu realm experts.

Similarly, he tossed out several talismans which entered the body of the silver bear. Following which Zong Shou smiled towards Zong Yuan who was below.

“What are you doing stunned there? Aren’t you going to come up here and protect me?”

A surprised look flashed in his eyes before disappearing. He didn’t hesitate, directly jumping upwards and onto this seven-star spell altar, charging up 50 feet and landing on the side.

Zong Shou held up the thousand-year peach wood sword on the table, lightly tapping on the table and saying out “rise”.

As expected, this spell altar instantly rose into the air, flying up roughly a hundred feet before it headed towards the west.

This Dragon Gathering Mountain was next to the ocean on the west, it was roughly 200 miles away. It was a little further than it was to Gantian Mountain but the cloud ocean was an empty region. Even if those crystal ants were skilled, they wouldn’t be able to float in the air.

Inside it, dense cloud and mists were all around. Water spiritual energy was thick which was exactly what the demon fire crystal ants hated.

As expected, an hour later when Zong Shou and Zong Yuan could see the border of the cloud ocean, a buzzing sound broken out in the entire horizon. Only to see hundreds and thousands of flying ants swarm over from all directions. Numerous demon fire crystal ants also drilled out from the ground.

Luckily this spell altar could float 2 thousand feet in the air. Although these crystal ants had a strong jumping ability they couldn’t reach that spot and could only look on from below.

Around the altar there was the lightning winged flood dragon threatened, causing those flying ants to be unwilling to get close.

Zong Shou’s hair stood on its ends. As expected, what the Linhai college people and he faced that day wasn’t the main force of that Ant Zhenren.

At this moment there were around 50 thousand crystal ants below? As for the strongest soldier ants, there were 400 of them.

Like that day, the ones six-winged flying ant which could compare to grade 6 experts which he killed with the flying knife, there was 20 of them.

Who knew where that mother bug was at. However, amongst the ant swarm, there were 4 six-winged flying ants as well as 10 soldier ants. Their outer shell wasn’t pure black but a pale silver.

Their bodies were close to half a size bigger and gave off a threatening aura. Although it was much weaker than grade 7 beasts, it was extremely close. It should be the close guard of that ant queen. The most core fighting strength of the demon fire crystal ant.

Zong Yuan’s face had already turned ashen white, tightly clenching the purple lightning spear in his hand.

Zong Shou was also calling out in pain, thinking that his master had good intentions to seal the external pill, but it had caused huge problems for him.

If he could use the strength of the ascended realm, why would he be in so much trouble?

His expression didn’t change as he silently stuck several pieces of incense around the altar and lit them up.

He stirred the wind to cause the green pieces of smoke to spread out.

Adding in the golden scorpion powder, the scent of the hundred-mile quiet scent was hidden to a large extent.

When one first smelled it, it was a refreshing fragrance, and the more it lasted it would make one feel a clear mind. Only when one accumulated to a certain degree could they notice, however at that time it would already be too late.

Even Zong Yuan knew that he couldn’t take it. He could take in a few deep breaths but after which he came to his senses, goosebumps rising all over his body.

In those few days, he saw how Zong Shou added in poisonous items into the furnace.

What venom sack of the 3 circle footline snake, eggs of the lifeless joint bug, all were famous poisons, anyone would be able to poison someone to death.

He checked within his body and expected the energy within was slightly blocked.

It wasn’t until Zong Shou tossed over a medicine bottle did his mind relax slightly. He didn’t dare delay. He consumed one of the pills within.

As for the lightning winged flood dragon, it didn’t fear anything at all. No evil could enter its body, all kinds of poison or evil beings would be filtered by the lightning around it so naturally, it would be cleaned out.

Those crystal ants seemed to notice nothing at all, they only surrounded Zong Shou, blocking his way out and not attacking at all.

It wasn’t until a moment later when a person dressed in Taoist clothing stepping on a ruler shaped spiritual artifact flew over in the air.

He was around 40, his face was white without a mustache, floating in the air like an enlightened expert. He arrived roughly 20 thousand feet away from the spell altar before he suddenly stopped. There were actually 4 6 winged flying ants around his body which were circling him.

He feared Zong Shou’s sword technique. Not only did he bring out 2 body-protecting spiritual artifacts, but he also had at least 7 spells buffing his body.

When he arrived he called hundreds of flying ants over, protecting in front of his body like that of a shield.

His gaze was dark and sunken as he looked towards Zong Shou. The moment his eyes touched that lightning winged flood dragon, his pupils constricted. Following which he laughed coldly, “I am unwilling to offend the Dragon Shadow martial saint, hand those things over to me and I can let the both of you live!”

Hearing those words, Zong Shou broke out into a laugh. However, at this point, everything he prepared was laid out. His mood was extremely good and he was lazy to debate with this Ant Zhenren. He directly pointed at the giant flood dragon in front of him and said, “You want the true dragon essence blood? But since my lightning winged yang snake has formed his body and formed a flood dragon body, do you think there is anything left?”

“Stop lying! That true dragon blood might be the dream of others, but why would I want it?”

That Ant Zhenren coldly scoffed, his gaze turned sharp,” I am not talking about the Juelong City item but the items Xuanlong sneakily took out! Don’t tell me you don’t know!”

Zong Shou’s heart moved slightly and knew that this person was talking about the grade 9 dragon pellet, grade 8 dragon soul and that thing in the bottle. This thing was something Juelong City didn’t know but this Ant Zhenren knew, how weird.

No wonder this person was willing to take the risk of offending the Dragon Shadow old man and try to kill him here to rob him.

He acted like he was at a loss, “What thing, I don’t know! How are you so sure that thing is on my body?”

“Why do I need to be sure? Since the true dragon blood is in your hands then naturally there is the highest chance that you have it. I just need to kill you and I can confirm!”

Ant Zhenren’s eyelids constricted slightly before his soul power frenziedly spread out, “I know that not long ago you defeated Long Ruo, Han Nishui and Li Yuandan but I am not something those 3 pieces of trash can compare to. Without the dragon shadow old man, what can you do? How long can you use that external pill for? If you are smart then hand over that thing!”

Zong Shou originally wanted to say something to drag the time. However at this moment, just looking at the expression of Ant Zhenren he knew that it was impossible. He smiled, “Then you can try…”

He stepped lightly down causing the seven-star spell altar to start to move once more. In just a breath it grabbed onto tens of earth veins below, also connecting with 5 heaven veins in the vicinity.

It caused the spiritual energy to be injected over through many lines of invisible veins. The spiritual energy in this 50 feet area exploded by over tens of times. Zong Shou also felt that his soul power seemed to have swelled up by 70% in just that instance.

Not only did his spiritual senses increase, but the range was also expanded. The amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy he could control was also increased by much.

He couldn’t help but feel shocked, this was the spiritual master’s spell altar.

It was no wonder that in the last life those spirit masters who used spell altars were so tough to deal with.

As with what a book had written, having one’s spell altar could cause a spirit master to suppress a martial cultivator in terms of fighting strength!

Connecting to spiritual veins could cause one’s spiritual energy to grow. It undoubtedly caused one’s spell ability to raise by an entire grade!

“I think you don’t know how large the world is! You think that defeating Long Ruo on Dragon Gathering Mountain, being taken in by Dragon Shadow old man, that in this cloud world you can do anything you want? With just this seven-star spell altar and a lightning winged flood dragon do you think I can’t do anything to you?”

That Ant Zhenren burst out into a cold laugh, his gaze filled with disdain. However, his eyes stared right at the seven-star altar which Zong Shou was on.

Like in thousands of years, this was the only spiritual artifact spell altar that appeared⁠—like those small heaven and earth bags which were monopolized by the sects of the cloud world, no matter how rich he was, he also had no luck in getting one.

His gaze slowly burnt up, following which it returned to a deathly color.

“Others might worry that you are the ruler of a country and killing you would hurt them. As for I, I fear nothing! Since you want to die then I will make your wishes come true…”

He pointed with his finger and instantly hundreds of flying ants charged down, after grabbing several crystal ants they flew up thousands of feet and threw them towards the altar.

The lightning winged flood dragon roared out furiously at that moment. It rose up, circling the spell altar. It didn’t do much, the lightning glow around its body exploded before it caused the body of 200 crystal ends to explode into pieces.

To grade 7 beasts, these basic crystal ants which were at most grade 4 were truly like ants. It was like killing dogs, not expending any energy at all.

Zong Shou casually waved his sleeves, the 49 leaf swords he had placed out all appeared and circled this seven-star spell altar.

The sword light flashing and in a moment tens of crystal ants were instantly killed on the spot.

Zong Yuan and the demon eye silver bear was cleaning up the scraps, killing all the remaining crystal ants.

The moment they showed signs of burrowing into the spell altar, the purple spear will flash out and pierce them.
