Chapter 1346: Fighting The Creature
Ling Yun and Tai Tianmei had arrived a short distance from the creature's location, but the place was filled with countless vengeful ghosts that gathered together and formed a ghost vortex, surrounding it.
Tai Tianmei trembled when they saw those ghosts, especially since their expressions were so terrifying and they made terrifying sounds that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
"Afraid of them?" Ling Yun asked.
Tai Tianmei nodded her head strongly. "I've always been afraid of ghosts, and there are numerous of them now."
"Ha ha ha." Ling Yun laughed and summoned the chaos dragon scythe. "Normal ghosts won't be able to harm you, but these vengeful ghosts are on a different level. If one of them enters your body, it will take over you, and the worst thing is that they will absorb your life essence until you die, leaving only a skeleton."
Tai Tianmei's face turned deathly pale after Ling Yun said that. "Senior Primordial Chaos Dragon, you shouldn't have scared me like that, and I'm really scared right now."
"You are the most timid Titan I've ever met." Ling Yun waved his hand, and a Qi screen appeared in front of them, showing the Titan race from the past. "See them? They are your ancestors, and they were extraordinary fighters who had no fear. Even when Jian Xieshen attacked, not a single one of them fled from the battlefield, even though they knew they would die, yet you were afraid of their ghosts."
Tai Tianmei opened her mouth to refute Ling Yun, but no words came out. She tightened her fist, and a hammer appeared in her right hand. "You're right, Senior. I am indeed timid, but I am not a coward, and I will never run away from battle; otherwise, I would tarnish the reputation of my ancestors."
"Haha! Prove it to me and fight those ghosts! I will fight that creature." After saying that, Ling Yun immediately flew away from Tai Tianmei and transformed into his half-dragon form, enveloped by a pitch-black, deadly aura that forced the vengeful ghosts blocking his path to escape.
Tai Tianmei also immediately moved, and she returned to her true titan form. She activated her cultivation and protected herself with Qi, quickly attacking all the vengeful ghosts that charged towards her.
Ling Yun smiled upon seeing that Tai Tianmei was still fighting, despite her fear of the vengeful ghosts. "Hey! I'll show you the true Chaos Dragon Rend! So pay close attention!"
'What do you mean by the true Chaos Dragon Rend, old dragon?'
"I've seen the way you executed the Chaos Dragon Rend from your memories. Your method wasn't actually wrong, but you relied too much on your raw power. It doesn't matter if you use your raw power to defeat your enemy as quickly as possible, but the technique is more than that, and you can combine it with many other things, especially your elements. Unlike you, I only had the dark elements in the past, and you have ten elements. However, you've never used them in conjunction with that technique, so I'll show it to you now." Ling Yun immediately landed on a tall tree, looking at the creature who was also looking at him with a gaze full of hatred and vengeance. "I knew all of you in the past, but you guys are not who you used to be. I understand your grudges and hatred for Jian Xieshen, but you were all too foolish to let all those negative emotions control you over your self-esteem. I will free you all today, but you guys will no longer be able to reincarnate, and all of you will become food for the souls of my successors."
'Long Hun.' Ling Yun immediately turned to Tai Yiqin, who had suddenly appeared in front of him. 'Can you do something to allow them to reincarnate? I know your successors need strength to fight your father, but they are members of my race, so I don't want them to disappear forever. If you have something to save their souls, please use it on them and let them reincarnate.'
'Hey! Who is this woman, old dragon?'
'She is the only female titan who can catch my attention, and she is the only woman who has ever rejected me to the point where I was powerless to persuade her.' Ling Yun then spoke to Tai Yiqin. "You do realize that it's useless, right? Even if I intervene to save them now, their resentment and hatred have already corrupted their souls. Even if they succeed in being reincarnated, they will no longer be the same, and they will probably be born into dark creatures. If their grudge and hatred carry over to their reincarnation, they will become a frightening scourge for many people."
Tai Yiqin nodded in understanding toward him. 'I understand that, but I still don't want them to die. Therefore, please help me to save them and let them be reincarnated, and in exchange, I will give your successor some more interesting and more useful things, but we have to enter the altar first.'
"Hmm?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows. "Is there anything interesting in there besides the Titan Ancestral Blood?"
'Yes.' Tai Yiqin nodded at him. 'In fact, there are many ancient techniques and artifacts of our race there, and they will be much more useful to your successor than their souls.'
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows in response. 'What do you think about that, kid? If you absorb these ghosts, all your souls will become incredibly powerful, and your combined soul might even reach the immortal soul level.'
'Old dragon, I certainly want to become stronger, but these people are innocent, and they are merely victims of Jia Xieshen's actions in the past. Moreover, our goal in fighting the Chaos is to stop the destruction of this universe and save its inhabitants, right? They are part of that, so I prefer to save them rather than sacrifice them. As for my souls, I can still find other ways to strengthen them, so you don't have to worry about that.'
Ling Yun wore an annoyed look. 'You're still too soft, you know that? If I were in your position, I would absorb these ghosts, and I would also take everything inside that altar.'
'Hahaha! Old dragon, I'm still an ordinary human with feelings, even though many changes have occurred in my life, okay? Moreover, you know yourself that I have a lot of things in my possession, and I will still be much stronger than the old you with all of that.'
The muscles on Ling Yun's face bulged out upon hearing that. 'Fuck you, brat! I am the primordial chaos dragon, and I am the strongest in this universe!'
'Old dragon, you are powerful, but your father is more powerful, right? Otherwise, you would never decide to commit suicide, right?'
'Tch! You little bastard!' Ling Yun then spoke to Tai Yiqin again. "You're lucky, Yiqin! That kid asked me to save your races! Even if I don't like it, I will save them."
Tai Yiqin felt relieved after Ling Yun agreed. 'Thank you, Long Hun.'
'Hey, brat! Tell Sheng Ming's soul to channel as much of her light element as possible, especially since your light element isn't as pure as hers, so I need her help to purify it.' Ling Yun then transformed into his light half-dragon form, surprising Tai Yiqin. "Don't look at me like that, Yiqin. I didn't have any other elements in the past, and this brat discovered this method himself. In fact, he has several different dragon forms, all of which are related to his ten elements."
Tai Yiqin nodded in understanding. 'It seems you found the right successor, Long Hun.'
"Hahaha." Ling Yun laughed at that. "I hate to admit it, but this kid is indeed my perfect heir, and he will surpass me in the future."
Swoosh
A pure light element immediately burst out of Ling Yun's body as soon as Sheng Ming's soul channeled her light element into his body, and he right away assumed an attacking stance, confusing Tai Yiqin. "Don't worry, Yiqin. I said I would save them, and I never go back on my word. You can retreat now, or you'll be dragged into it."
'Yes.' Tai Yiqin nodded and flew away to the area where Tai Tianmei was fighting those vengeful ghosts.
"Phew! I haven't used this technique in a long time, so I might be a bit rusty." Ling Yun immediately used his light element, causing a bright white light to envelop him and spread throughout the area.
'What kind of technique will you use to save them, old dragon?'
"The Chaos Dragon Severance." Ling Yun exhaled softly. "You can see it for yourself, but you can't use it until you open the next seal."
Once he was ready, Ling Yun immediately swung his scythe forward, followed by a wave of light element that instantly swept across the entire area, including the creature in the middle of the place, causing it to release a horrifying shrill howl.
With the help of Sheng Ming's light element, Ling Yun's attack caused those vengeful ghosts to change. However, their change was still not significant, so he swung his scythe again.
This time, the creature did not remain silent and attacked towards Ling Yun directly, going against the current of the light element waves that continued to move towards it.
"Foolish creatures!" Ling Yun immediately flew towards the creature. "Chaos Dragon Genesis! Chaos Dragon Soul Pillar!"
In an instant, several pillars of light fell from the sky and pierced the creature's body, pinning it to the ground.
Ling Yun immediately jumped onto one of the light pillars. "Chaos Dragon Devouring Domain!"
