The invisible draconic pressure within the Flood Dragon radiated outward in all directions.
“As expected of His Majesty! He is far too powerful!”
The sea demons couldn't help but feel a fear stemming from the very depths of their bloodlines.
The Flood Dragon let out a furious roar toward Chen Ning:
“How dare you make a fool of this King! Pay for it with your life!”
It opened its cavernous mouth wide like that of a Taotie, instantly generating a powerful suction force within.
Turbulent waves surged in the deep sea as countless torrents of seawater poured backward into the Flood Dragon's mouth.
Nothing before it could escape this terrifying suction.
That included the sea demons near the palace.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of sea demons were swept into the violent, raging waves.
Only then did they realize something was wrong, frantically trying to escape in terror.
“Your Majesty, no! We're still here!”
“Useless trash, do you even deserve to live?”
The Flood Dragon didn't care about their lives in the slightest.
Midst their wails, the sea demons were swiftly sucked into the abyssal maw, turning into food for the dragon's belly.
Yet, Chen Ning stood completely unaffected by the suction. Golden merit light shrouded his legs, and though the floor tiles beneath his feet shattered, his entire body remained rooted like ancient tree roots, unmoving as a majestic mountain.
Having swallowed more than a dozen of its own subordinates without even scratching a single hair on its opponent, the Flood Dragon flew into a rage out of humiliation.
“In that case, I'll devour you with my own mouth!”
The Flood Dragon charged furiously toward the palace, the underwater currents of the deep sea churning violently alongside its massive body.
Rumble!
Amidst the rolling giant waves, the entire palace collapsed with a deafening crash.
Charging across the ruins, the Flood Dragon opened its massive mouth and snapped viciously at Chen Ning.
However, Chen Ning did not dodge. Instead, he reached out directly and grabbed its fangs, which were far sharper than blades.
“How is this possible?!”
The Flood Dragon paled in shock. It had never anticipated that a human's physical capabilities could reach such a terrifying level.
By the time it wanted to retreat, it was already far too late.
Grasping the pair of fangs, Chen Ning used himself as the central axis.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Flood Dragon's massive body spun like a top. The world whirled dizzyingly before its eyes, nearly spinning it unconscious.
Snap!
Right at that moment, the two dragon fangs snapped off with a sharp crack, and the Flood Dragon's body went flying sideways.
“Oh no! Quickly, protect His Majesty!”
The sea demons turned pale with fright and scrambled forward to block Chen Ning.
Chen Ning had anticipated this. The Noble Scholar's Sword materialized in his hand, sweeping a brilliant green Sword Intent across the space ahead.
This rabble had no power to resist whatsoever, turning to ashes in an instant beneath the Sword Intent.
【Killed 50 sea demons. Obtained 500 Noble Qi.】
“It's over.”
Chen Ning stepped right up to the Flood Dragon, the Noble Scholar's Sword cleaving through the waves and plunging straight into the dragon's body.
Yet in that very instant, Chen Ning sensed something off.
Though pierced by this strike and supposedly gravely wounded, the blood and qi within the Flood Dragon surged even more actively.
“You fell for it!”
The Flood Dragon suddenly whipped its dragon head around, its teeth tearing directly into Chen Ning's abdomen.
This single bite nearly ripped away half of Chen Ning's belly.
Gouts of blood poured out, and even internal organs and intestines were dragged out.
“Delicious! This is the first time I've ever tasted such exquisite human flesh!”
Savoring the delicious flavor, the Flood Dragon was overjoyed, a sinister grin spreading across its face.
“Although I didn't drink the Spring of Undying, I once ate a mermaid who had drunk from it! I am not so easily killed!
“Laughable human! With brains like yours, how dare you style yourselves as intelligent beings?”
“Are you sure it's me who fell for it?”
Just as the Flood Dragon was about to finish Chen Ning off in one bite, a faint chuckle suddenly sounded in its ears.
Beneath its gaze, white bone grew flesh on Chen Ning's abdomen. The lost blood, flesh, and internal organs were regenerating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chen Ning smiled and said:
“Did you forget that I drank the Spring of Undying as well?”
“You indeed drank the Spring of Undying, but even so, it should be impossible for...”
The Flood Dragon was overcome with shock and horror.
It wasn't that it had forgotten about Chen Ning drinking the Spring of Undying.
Rather, it knew full well that while the Spring of Undying granted powerful regenerative abilities, it shouldn't be so terrifyingly fast.
This human's monstrous recovery speed did not come from the Spring of Undying alone!
This time, the Flood Dragon had indeed guessed right.
With only the Spring of Undying or the Divine Phoenix Bloodline alone, wounds with over half of the internal organs destroyed could never heal this quickly.
However, when the two fused together, their terrifying regenerative powers stacked, multiplying exponentially.
The blood and qi inside Chen Ning's body surged upward continuously. Not only had his wounds completely healed, but his bloodline also seemed to burn, emanating waves of scorching heat.
“All Manifestations: Mountains and Rivers.”
As Chen Ning severed the ocean waves before him with a single sword strike, an imposing army of one hundred thousand armor-clad golden soldiers descended into the deep sea.
They were precisely the legendary Dragon-Slaying Golden-Armored Army, who had once followed the Martial God to slay true dragons.
If they could slay even a true dragon, what was a low-blooded Flood Dragon to them?
What the Flood Dragon was most proud of was the diluted dragon blood within its veins, as it could emit an overwhelming pressure that looked down upon all creation when facing any demon or monster.
Yet upon laying eyes on these one hundred thousand golden-armored soldiers, the Flood Dragon felt a terror originating from the deepest depths of its bloodline.
It was as if even the dragon blood in its body trembled in fear before this majestic army.
“How can this be? How could mere phantoms of human soldiers make me feel fear?!”
The Flood Dragon could not bring itself to believe it, yet its instincts screamed incessantly at it.
It had to escape!
Unable to resist the terror in its heart any longer, the Flood Dragon exerted all its strength to flee toward the depths of the ocean floor.
At that moment, however, Xiao Jiu suddenly darted out from Chen Ning's clothes. Transforming into a massive python, she was already half the size of the Flood Dragon itself.
Don't even think about escaping!
Xiao Jiu clamped her jaws firmly onto the Flood Dragon's tail, refusing to let go no matter what.
“Let go of me! Let go of me!”
The Flood Dragon thrashed violently, but in a short time, it could not free itself from Xiao Jiu's grip.
At that very moment, the golden-armored dragon-slaying army arrived in grand, majestic fashion.
“Slay the dragon!”
“Kill!”
One hundred thousand golden spears were hurled into the air simultaneously, raining down like a sky full of shooting stars.
Rumble!
The instant Chen Ning snatched Xiao Jiu away, the Flood Dragon was impaled by countless spears.
Countless bloody holes were left across its massive body. After a few feeble struggles, it quickly crashed limply onto the ocean floor.
Only when the Flood Dragon's heart shattered and completely ceased beating did the one hundred thousand Dragon-Slaying Golden-Armored soldiers and countless spears gradually dissipate into clouds and smoke.
At the same time, the system's prompt resonated in Chen Ning's mind.
【Killed the Flood Dragon. Obtained 2,000 Noble Qi.】
【Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Divine Ability—Fire Trees and Silver Flowers, Devouring Mountains and Rivers!】
