Chapter 68 of Volume 9: Creating Chaos

  The energy sphere flew into the Dragon God's camp under my control, and I sank it down, then removed the dark energy from the outside and replaced it with fire elements. Suddenly, a small red fireball appeared in the air. I quickly sucked it back, and the fireball accelerated towards me, shining brightly in the air. This was because I had fully released the fire element that I had infused into the energy sphere. Although this series of controls was extremely difficult, since the controlled energy sphere was very small, I could still support it.

  "I loudly shouted: 'Everyone be careful, quickly look up at the sky, they are attacking us.' I concentrated my mind and with a flick of my wrist, I threw the fireball to the other side. Instantly, several magical spells flew out from our crowd to meet it. In my heart, I secretly smiled - the fire element had already disappeared. A purple smoke quickly enveloped everything under my control."

  I shouted again, "Everyone be careful, it's toxic smoke."

  Pan Zong's Dan poison was not ordinary toxic gas, and instantly, countless mournful cries spread among the crowd, a large number of people fell to the ground, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic. The originally crowded crowd fled in all directions.

  "Damn it, you guys are too despicable! Not only did you not let us get the treasure, but also ambushed and poisoned us."

  I took the opportunity to draw out my ink blade and shouted, "Charge, brothers! Advancing is death, retreating is also death. Why not fight it out? We might even get some treasure back home!" With that, I leapt into the air and was the first to charge forward. In two bounds, I reached the front of the heavily armored infantrymen. My ink blade flashed, instantly killing two people. Under my incitement, the greedy bunch behind me surged forward like a tidal wave, unleashing countless spells from all schools towards the Dragon God Empire's camp. The sound of slaughter filled the air. I didn't want to attract the attention of the dragon knights, so I didn't use my Wild God's aura or Dark Magic. Instead, I relied solely on brute strength to slash and kill a few more people. As I gradually reined in my forward momentum, many people rushed past me from all sides, throwing the Dragon God Empire into chaos. The commanding officer inside began directing his troops to counterattack amidst the turmoil. At first, they could still control themselves, only resisting without killing, but that mob of 'rabble' didn't think so. After losing a considerable number of comrades, the Dragon God Empire's troops started fighting back, and casualties on both sides began to mount rapidly. This can't be blamed on me; even if I hadn't incited them, perhaps they would have ended up like this anyway. In my heart, I secretly shifted the blame.

  I quietly slipped out of the crowd, looking at the scene in front of me, and I'm afraid the Dragon God Empire is in trouble. A cold smile spread across my face as the chaotic scene before me filled me with a sense of satisfaction. I flew back to the entrance of the tunnel where I first came from, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then quietly slipped inside.

  When I came out from the other side, all the troops in the Dragon God Empire camp had been mobilized. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they were all elite troops after all. Their effective coordination and strict formation was something that those mobs could not withstand, and they had already suppressed the enemy. Among the crowd who came to explore the treasure, except for a few large mercenary groups that could still organize an effective attack, the rest of them were retreating in defeat due to their individual battles.

  I let out a sigh, what a great disappointment it was. I thought that with their numerical advantage, they would be able to do something, but I didn't expect them to end up like this. It seems that I still need to help them out. I took out the remaining Dan toxin wrapped in dark energy and threw it out without hesitation. This time, there was no fire element, and a puff of purple smoke suddenly appeared above the Dragon God Empire's army in the night sky. The Dragon God's troops began to fall in large numbers, and the crowd that was originally at a disadvantage suddenly launched a counterattack. In the intense war, no one had the mind to think about why the same poisonous gas would appear separately in both camps. Watching the "mob" gradually gain the upper hand, I smiled smugly, not expecting this poison to be so useful. Without the participation of the Dragon Knights, the Dragon God's troops were simply at our mercy.

  I no longer care how many casualties they will have, transformed again and flew back to the summit. As soon as I returned to the summit, I found that there were more than a dozen dragon knights flying towards the direction of the crowd, apparently receiving a distress signal.

  Jin hurried over and asked: "Fourth Brother, how's it going down there?"

  I smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Dragon God Empire will definitely be in chaos for a while. Let's go to the vicinity of Wǔ Cǎi Xià Guāng. Now, since the dragon knights guarding the outer perimeter have gone to support the front line, it should be our best opportunity to sneak in."

  Yin Dao: "How did you get past?"

  I smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I flew over."

  "If we use wind magic to fly, it will be very slow. When we encounter dragon knights, we will have no power to fight back."

  I took a glance at him and said, "Of course not like that. You guys use the wind element to wrap around your bodies, I'll be the driving force for your advancement."

  Pan Zong and Jin Yin also knew that time was pressing, so they began to condense the wind elements in the air. A cyan magical force appeared on their bodies, and in order to better utilize their abilities, Pan Zong had transformed back into his nine-snake-headed form, but still maintained a human body shape. I grabbed onto their waistbands, unfolded my four wings, and enveloped us with a thick black mist on the outside as we took off. We sped towards the Five-Colored Rainbow Light at full speed.

  Although the four-winged creature's abilities were extraordinary, carrying two people at high speed was still extremely physically demanding. My dark magic absorption rate had already fallen far behind my consumption rate, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my pale face. I was shocked in my heart, this won't do, if I consume too much, how will I have the chance to slip away from Liefeng's hands later? Thinking of this, I gradually slowed down my speed and dove downwards, floating down onto a mountain ridge near where the colorful aurora appeared.

  "Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you? Why have you stopped?"

  I wiped the sweat from my forehead and said, "Big brother, how can you two be so slow even with wind magic? You're exhausting me." A wave of fatigue washed over me.

  "Isn't that strange? With your four-winged transformation, you shouldn't be unable to carry two people. This is abnormal."

  As I listened to his words, my heart skipped a beat. At this moment, the death aura that had just been suppressed came back again. I secretly sighed with sorrow. Why did it have to come at this time? It's over, it seems there's no chance of entering that cave now. I struggled to sit up on the ground and said to them: "Quickly help me suppress my aura, the death aura is acting up again."

  Pan Zong was taken aback, "Didn't you say last time that it could be suppressed?"

  I smiled wryly: "It can be suppressed, but it has to wait until it erupts. There's no time now, this time the eruption is too intense, quickly help me protect the law, don't let others disturb me." The death aura in my body started from my chest this time, fiercely rushing towards my heart pulse. I sat cross-legged, first retracting the four wings of the fallen angel transformation, then rapidly mobilizing the Crazy God Fighting Aura. A layer of yellow light was emitted from my body, and the main reason for letting Pan Zong and others protect me is that I'm afraid the light from the Crazy God Fighting Aura will attract Dragon Knights.

  This time, the death aura's outbreak was even more ferocious than the previous two times. Last time, with the help of the Heart Mirror energy, I quickly dispelled them and became complacent. As soon as it came, it almost broke into my heart meridian. With great difficulty, I stabilized the situation, protected my heart meridian, and then surrounded and attacked the death energy again. The death energy no longer feared my Crazy God Fighting Aura like before, desperately charging left and right, wave after wave of decadent and strange feelings making me extremely uncomfortable.

  At this moment, a strange change occurred, and the Kyokai Douki in my body suddenly became restless for no reason, abnormally surging violently. Under the circumstances without the Heart Mirror, it transformed into golden yellow once again.

  For my guardian, Panzong and Jinyin discovered that the Dou Qi around my body suddenly changed color and burst out with a strong golden light, which shocked me. I hurriedly chanted the earth system magic spell, causing several earthen walls to rise up around us, blocking the light from spilling out.

  Just like last time when the Heart Mirror was in effect, after my Crazy God Aura completely turned gold, the Death Energy suddenly dissipated rapidly like melting ice and snow. I felt a surge of joy in my heart - could it be that because the Heart Mirror had once resided within me, my aura underwent a benign transformation? I urged on my Crazy God Aura with all my might, swiftly eradicating the Death Energy; although I still didn't completely annihilate them in the end, this crisis was finally over.

  As I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Panzong and Jinyuan's concerned gaze. I found that my body was emitting a dazzling golden aura, and I immediately knew that if this continued, I would definitely be discovered by the Dragon Knights. I hurriedly urged the Crazy God's Qi inside me to calm down, but suddenly, I discovered that the Crazy God's Qi was no longer under my control, operating at twice its normal speed. The golden light emanating from my body grew stronger and stronger, and if viewed from a distance, it seemed as though a small golden sun had appeared on the mountain. My heart was shocked, and when I tried to urge the Dark Magic, I found that it had been completely suppressed by the Crazy God's Qi at my brow point, refusing to listen to my commands. Even my body was unable to move. Now, I could only rely on my willpower to block the acceleration of the Crazy God's Qi. Panzong and Jinyuan beside me were pushed back three or four meters, unable to get close to me. This sudden situation left them stunned as well.

  There's only one possibility for losing control of the energy within me, and that's going berserk. I won't be that unlucky, will I? The surging pain in my meridians made me involuntarily let out a long whistle, and a rolling wave burst into the air, while the golden aura around my body also formed a golden light pillar shooting up to the sky in an instant. It's over; as long as Lian Feng and the others aren't idiots, they'll definitely discover us.

  "I roared: 'Big brother, second brother, second sister, you guys hurry up and leave, I can no longer control the energy inside me!'"

  Upon hearing my shout, Panzong and Jinying exchanged a glance, their faces set with determination as they continued to guard me, simultaneously chanting their transformation incantations.

  "Sun, warm friend of the earth, grant me your boundless power." "Moon, shining friend in the dark night, cleanse my body and mind with your boundless light." The two wolf heads chant in unison: "Awaken, dormant bloodline of the wolf god!" Kinta and Gin let out a long howl towards the sky, their bodies and fur rapidly growing as they transform into their strongest attacking state, landing on all fours, their massive wolf forms radiating gold and silver.

  The nine snake heads of Panzong chanted in unison: "Water, fire, earth, wind, the purest energy existing in nature, please ignite the hope in my heart, awaken, dormant Snake King bloodline." He rolled to the ground and transformed into his original form, his body and head rapidly growing several dozen times larger. When Panzong was digging a hole earlier, I didn't notice his transformation, but this close-up transformation allowed me to see the improvement after he reached the Absolute Ground realm. The nine snake heads were all one size larger than before, emitting a faint luster, and with every movement of his body, the surrounding air would surge. Advancing to a higher realm indeed greatly enhanced Panzong's abilities, although still inferior to Father's, but now not far behind.

  Two powerful auras stood guard beside me, and I knew they would never abandon me. Just then, the five-colored clouds on the mountain peak rang out with three loud dragon roars, and three figures - one blue, one white, and one yellow - rose into the air, shooting towards us like lightning.

  At that moment, I regretted for the first time my persistence in exploring the treasure. Under the attacks of Lie Feng, Tian Gang and Song Ren, it was impossible for us three to escape. It didn't matter if I died myself, but I also implicated my brother who had deep feelings for me. Two streams of painful tears flowed down my cheeks.

  Just as I was despairing, the colorful glow in the sky changed, and what was originally rising vertically suddenly twisted, forming a parabolic curve that shot towards me, emitting golden light. Although I didn't know what this meant, my heart understood that perhaps this was the last chance, no matter whether the colorful glow was good or bad, it was much better than falling into the hands of the Dragon Rider. So, I let out a loud roar, pouring all my thoughts into the operating Crazy God's aura, which had originally been running at high speed. Without my restraint and push, its speed suddenly increased by another fold. My whole body emitted a bloody mist, and the golden light emanating from my body suddenly intensified, attracting the colorful glow to accelerate towards me.

  Lifeng also discovered that something was amiss and urged the Dragon Clan elder Qinglin to suddenly accelerate, shaking off Tiangang and Songren as he charged over.

  Perhaps it was heaven's mercy, just as I was riding the fierce wind of Qinglin, ten meters away from the mountain bag, the colorful light finally came into contact with the golden light emitted by my body. The golden light I emitted suddenly turned into a rainbow color, and the Crazy God's aura that was running wildly inside me stopped abruptly. From rapid rotation to stillness, it was so sudden that my meridians, although tough, couldn't withstand such turmoil, and I spat out three mouthfuls of blood in succession, collapsing to the ground.

  At the moment my golden light turned into a five-colored glow, the radiance suddenly expanded, encompassing both gold and silver. The fierce wind seemed to sense danger, let out a loud shout, and his dragon spear transformed into a cyan ray that shot out from his hand, creating a burst of cyan light in mid-air as it flew straight towards my chest. He was well aware that I was the source attracting the five-colored aurora. If this cyan light were to hit me at such close range, I would be unable to escape even if I transformed into the Blood Red Angel in peak condition, and I wouldn't be able to withstand Fierce Wind's concentrated strike.

  However, something unexpected happened. Just as the blue dragon spear pierced through the three-foot-long five-colored light, it suddenly stopped moving. A loud screeching sound echoed in the air, and no matter how hard the fierce wind behind pushed, the dragon spear could not move forward another inch.

  After transforming, Panzong and Jinying were quietly waiting there after being enveloped by the halo. Looking at their struggling expressions, I knew that this inexplicable energy had restricted their movements. The five-colored light suddenly intensified, instantly expanding from its original diameter of less than 10 meters to around 100 meters in diameter. Lü Feng's Dragon Gun, Lü Feng, Qinglin, the elder of the dragon tribe, as well as Tiangang, Songren, and their mounts were all blown away by this powerful force.

  I gazed incredulously at the scene before me, my entire body warm and relaxed, without a hint of strength or pain. The colorful light retracted, and everything returned to its original state. I discovered that Panzong, Jinying, and I were slowly floating away from the ground, following the trajectory of the colorful aurora, taking flight at a speed that allowed us to clearly feel the strange sensation.

  The fierce winds they were blown out, but did not get hurt, three dragon knights face turned iron blue, urging their mounts to come again, attacking the colorful glow with all their might. Lü Feng's whole body was surrounded by a thick layer of cyan light, one zhang (3.33 meters) thick, holding up his dragon spear, chanting something unknown, Tian Gang and Song Ren also held up their dragon spears, chanting, although their aura was much weaker than Lü Feng's, but still half a zhang thick, the three people's aura all seemed to condense into substance. The three giant dragons under them kept spitting out huge magic balls. Even Qing Lin, the elder of the dragon tribe, summoned a large tornado to attack our position. Seeing the massive attacks coming, I and Pan Zong, Jin Yin all showed fearful expressions, just these three dragons, it's probably very difficult for us to deal with.

  That colorful glow that originally looked like smoke and fog had transformed into an incredibly solid and flexible barrier, no matter how they attacked, they couldn't penetrate within three feet of the colorful light.

  Finally, the fierce winds finished their incantation, and the three of them suddenly leapt off their dragon mounts, each holding a dragon spear with cyan, yellow, and white light. The three spears converged in mid-air to form a triangular prism, and the three strands of energy entwined together instantly. A three-color energy sphere with a diameter of one meter was formed in the air, and Fierce Wind let out a loud roar, his left palm slapping out fiercely. The three-color energy sphere surrounded by a beautiful arc line shot towards us. Borrowing the force of the rebound, the three Fierce Winds returned to their respective dragon mounts, watching to see if the combined energy of the three could harm us. My heart was filled with tension - the air that the compressed energy sphere passed through was all distorted, revealing its immense power. I didn't know whether the Five-Colored Halo could withstand it; if not, there would only be death.

  The air sphere quickly approached and hit the five-colored halo on our periphery. The five-colored halo flashed violently, and the air sphere exploded suddenly. We felt a strong tremor in the five-colored halo, and the light in front of us made us temporarily blind. As the light faded, I found that the color of the five-colored halo was much lighter than before. The three people from afar, including Liefeng, were blown out of hundreds of meters by the recoil force due to the air machine's pull. Since Liefeng was the center of the attack just now, he suffered the greatest recoil force. His cyan armor had some damaged areas, and a thread of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he was injured. The fact that Liefeng was injured showed how strong the recoil force was just now.

  I didn't know that Lü Feng was injured because he had just used his own strength to single-handedly withstand all the backlash, protecting Tiān Gāng and Sōng Rén, as well as the three-headed giant dragon. This is what caused him to suffer heavy injuries.

  Looking at him, he should no longer have the strength to launch another attack of the same intensity as before.

  The colorful halo still carries our bodies moving forward along the original trajectory. When we reach the top of the parabola, our body starts to accelerate downward. Under the control of this energy, we can only entrust our fate to heaven. But I just killed so many people with Panzong's poisonous gas today, will the heavenly gods bless me? Probably not.

  The three fierce men stared at us with their eyes wide open as we continued to move forward towards our goal, but they didn't launch another attack.

  Even if I die now, I won't regret it at all. Seeing Lie Feng and the others in such a sorry state fills me with an indescribable excitement. Although it wasn't me who defeated him, being able to force the Centuries-Old Exterminating Wind Battle God Lie Feng to reveal his true nature and get injured is also my success, I suppose. Silently praying that as long as Jin Yin and Pan Zong can safely return to the Beastman Empire, even if it means losing everything, I'm willing.

  Finally, Panzong, Jinyin and I were brought into the cave by a colorful halo of light that had been trying to enter for two months. Everything went black in front of me, my body felt a wave of fatigue, and then I didn't know anything else.

  …………

  Sitting on the back of Qinglin, the fierce wind was slightly panting, although he had been seriously injured, but he still stood upright with his waist straight, emitting a domineering aura all over his body. The anger burning in his eyes seemed to be able to burn down the entire White Smoke Mountain Range. Tian Gang and Song Ren beside him felt the killing intent emanating from his body and quietly stood on either side of him.

  The colorful glow in the sky had disappeared as the one man and two beasts entered the cave.

  "Okay."

  "Uncle Lei, I'm listening."

  Lifeng took off his helmet without a mask and handed it to him, saying: "Take this, go back to the headquarters and find your father, tell him that everyone must come here immediately. You also saw what happened just now, there is a human entering the cave, as well as two strange beasts. If they get what's inside, the dragon god will be in great chaos. So, we must eliminate them at all costs." Lifeng's voice was devoid of emotion. However, Tiangang and Songren, who were familiar with him, knew that he was now at the peak of his rage. Having not been injured for nearly 70 years, Lifeng felt the taste of pain again today, after 70 years, which was why he was so furious.

  Although he knew it was not the right time to provoke Lü Feng, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Lü, do you mean..."

  He gave him a cold and stern look, then spat out three words: "Xing Long Yu."

  Tiangang and Songren were both shocked, their mouths agape. Since the Star Dragon Rain was invented by Tiangang's father, Guangming system's Great Demon Master, Guardian of Light Tianyun, it had never been used before, but its power was well-known to every member of the Holy Dragon Knights.

  Song Ren hurriedly came up and said: "Uncle Li, you should think thrice about this."

  The fierce wind merely glared at him and ignored him, turning his head to Tian Gang and saying: "I'll have Qing Lin bring you back. You must spread the news within three days. No matter what kind of power it is or what exists in that cave, I will destroy it." His fists were clenched tightly, crackling with energy, and his eyes were filled with a strong desire for battle.

  The sky had already seen that there was no room for recovery, and he could only nod in response. In his mind, after all, the decision-making power of the Holy Dragon Knights' actions rested with his father, Tianyun. His father shouldn't be so impulsive, should he?

  Like this, Tian Gang rode on the giant dragon elder Qing Lin and left.

  Lifeng mounted his original steed, Tian Gang, and said to Song Ren, "Let's go take a look at those rioters. Do they want to rebel? If it weren't for them, that one man and two beasts might not have made it here yet." Lifeng's words were filled with cold killing intent.

  "Hurry up and advise: "Auntie Li, let's not go, there are those dragon knights, enough to shock them, we are members of the Holy Dragon Knights, can't casually kill the people of the Dragon God Empire."

  The fierce wind paused for a moment, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

  "Never mind, Uncle Li," Song Ren continued, "Let's wait until Uncle Tian comes before we talk about it."

  The fierce wind hummed and said, "Let's spare this group of greedy bastards. Let's go and guard the entrance to the cave."

  …………

  My consciousness gradually recovered, I opened my eyes, and the surrounding light was very dim, only vaguely seeing some objects. I moved my body a bit and found that there was nothing uncomfortable, the two energies inside my body were operating normally, still following their usual trajectory, but it seemed like the Crazy God's aura was slightly different from before, but I couldn't think clearly for a moment. My biggest feeling now is that my whole body is full of power, before I fainted, my clothes had already been torn to shreds by the golden energy of the Crazy God's aura, so now my entire body is almost completely naked.

  As time passed, I gradually adapted to the surrounding light and could roughly see things here. I found that this was a very large stone room. It's called a stone room because the walls around it are smooth and flat. Except for me, I didn't find anything else here, maybe due to the darkness. The walls around me can only see some shadows.

  I felt my way around, searching, and on the left wall, there was a passageway, but I don't know where it leads. Ah, right, what about Panzong and Jinying? Thinking of the two brothers, my heart suddenly became anxious, and I hurriedly searched everywhere. After searching for half a day, almost every corner of the stone room had been searched without finding any trace of them. Since this stone room didn't have anything, it seems that I can only go through that passageway.

  Is it good fortune or bad luck? Bad luck can't be avoided. Let's give it a try! Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the passageway.

  Although the decision to enter the Yondao was a bit impulsive, I wasn't reckless. I stretched out my right hand and whispered, "Great fire element, gather in my hand, condense into a ball, Fireball Technique." I used a relatively low-level fire magic spell, as I couldn't use light magic like Ziyan to illuminate the way, so I had no choice but to use fire magic. Unexpectedly, the Fireball Technique, which I was 200% sure of, didn't work at all. I waited for a good while, but not even a hint of fire element appeared. Was it possible that my spiritual power couldn't even summon a simple fireball? I tried another water magic spell, but it also had no effect. What was going on? Since learning low-level magic at the Tiandu Academy, I had almost always succeeded, so why did it suddenly stop working? Suppressing the unease in my heart, I whispered, "Great Dark God, with my soul as a sacrifice and my life as a bridge, grant me your boundless divine power. Form a solid barrier to protect your servant...Dark Shield." As I chanted the incantation, a thick black mist spread out from around me, enveloping an area of three meters in front of me in an instant. This magic was one I hadn't used in a long time, and it was a second-level dark defense magic that I had learned when I reached the second level of the Tianmo Jue cultivation technique. It seemed that its power had increased significantly since then. I controlled the black barrier around me at will, without feeling any discomfort. Apparently, my spiritual power hadn't weakened, so why couldn't I use those easier magic spells?

  I dispersed the dark barrier, but found that the dark magic within me had decreased somewhat. Usually, after I use a spell, it automatically gathers the surrounding dark elements, but this time I discovered that after using this second-level dark magic, the dark magic within me had suddenly decreased. In an instant, I understood why I couldn't use other spells. When using magic, apart from dark magic, the other systems are all based on dark magic, relying on strong spiritual power to summon surrounding magical elements to achieve it. Now, the reason I can't use ordinary four-system magic is that there are no magical elements in this cave. Thinking of this, I let out a breath, although there are no magical elements here, but the abundant dark magic within me is enough to support me using several high-level dark magics, and the disappearance of magical elements does not affect my Crazy God's aura. The biggest difference between aura and magic lies in one being from inside to outside, and the other being from outside to inside. Aura relies on self-cultivation, while magic relies on spiritual control over external elements. Therefore, as long as my body doesn't show any abnormalities, aura can be used anywhere.

  With a swoosh, I drew out the Ink Shadow from behind my back. In this unknown place, being cautious was the only way to go. At this point, I didn't care about getting any treasures or divine artifacts; all I wanted was to safely find Panzong and Jinying and leave this place unscathed. It wasn't until now that I realized how important friendship was to me. My initial impulsiveness had been so childish - if I died, it would drag down my sworn brothers, cause Ziyuan and Zixue to grieve, drive my mother to despair, and also harm Mo Yue. In this instant, I suddenly understood that my life no longer belonged just to myself. Silently, I vowed that from now on, no matter what happened, I would always prioritize my own life and never be impulsive again. This was probably a case of "eating one's fill and growing wiser".
