Chapter 178: Water Dragon, Water Dragon, Cry for Me!
“Time begins to flow…”
In the eyes of Huang Chen and Water Dragon, Zhou Tong suddenly appeared and effortlessly seized the authority of water.
“How is this possible?”
“Where did you come from?”
Huang Chen and Water Dragon were initially stunned, but then instantly enraged.
“Sorry, from now on, the authority of water belongs to the Human Race!”
“Arrogant little brat, you’re seeking death!”
Both of them moved simultaneously, channeling their powers to the extreme, and there was a subtle trend of breaking through to the Peak Cycle Realm, reaching the Semi-Sage level!
Zhou Tong frowned. It wasn’t surprising that Water Dragon had such strength, but Huang Chen, an elder of the Body Forging Sect, was a bit unusual!
“Tide, heed my call!”
Zhou Tong raised his arms, and boundless water vapor gathered, forming a water dragon vortex that reached into the heavens and earth, blocking both of them.
“This can’t be real!”
Huang Chen’s eyes trembled. Although the authority of water was unclaimed, it was not something that just anyone could control.
Yet Zhou Tong subdued it the moment he came into contact, as if it were a dream.
Upon this thought, his expression grew even fiercer!
“Kid, go die!”
With an explosive surge of energy, he seemed to break through to the Semi-Sage level, shattering the water vortex with a single punch and charging at Zhou Tong!
Boom!
Zhou Tong’s chest was pierced, creating a bloody hole, yet his expression showed no hint of tension.
“Life-Balance Dominion, life energy come, death energy kill!”
As he formed a hand seal, the blood pool in the secret realm boiled, and a torrent of life energy was separated, helping Zhou Tong recover from his injuries.
At the same time, the death energy sliced into Huang Chen’s body.
“Uh… ahhh…”
The other party immediately displayed a pained expression, dark energy swirling around him.
This scene shook Zhou Tong deeply.
“This is Demonic Energy… and it’s extremely ancient Demonic Energy!”
“Huang Chen has merged with the Heavenly Demons!”
The so-called fusion meant that both souls had intertwined, becoming a new soul.
The new soul would carry all the memories of both and shape a brand-new personality.
No wonder Huang Chen was so familiar with the secret realm and even wielded ancient pacts.
There was only one explanation: he had merged with an ancient demonic entity; the other party might have witnessed the birth of this secret realm.
With this thought, Zhou Tong felt his heart sink slightly.
If the grand elder of the Body Forging Sect had fused with the Demonic Race, then what about the others?
Perhaps the Body Forging Sect had already turned into a den of demons!
“You little ant of the Human Race! Have you forgotten about me?”
At that moment, Water Dragon attacked from behind, brewing his breath, preparing to obliterate Zhou Tong!
“Water Dragon, shut up!”
A petite figure flew over and blocked in front of Water Dragon, instantly halting him!
“Goddess Luo… your soul has returned…” Water Dragon’s eyes were hopeful, filled with countless emotions.
“I’m not a goddess, I am human!”
Shangguan Wugou stubbornly lifted her little head and said.
“No… back when the Divine Race was exterminated, you couldn’t escape either. Before you died, you entrusted me to guard your divine body; you will return to life one day!”
Water Dragon’s voice grew louder, his spirit once again unstable.
“I have endured countless years, living year by year. I have long been worn down and forgotten so much, but I still remember your appearance and voice; I will never mistake it!”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wugou trembled, tears shimmering in her large eyes.
She sympathized with Water Dragon, but she was not Goddess Luo and could not give him any hope.
“Aren’t you done chatting yet? Hand over the authority of water if you are!”
Huang Chen quickly regained his composure and launched a terrifying assault on Zhou Tong.
However, Zhou Tong did not dodge or evade, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
After having gone through wear and fusion, Water Dragon and Huang Chen were already mentally disoriented – the time was just right to take advantage of the situation.
“Reflections on Water and Flowers!” Zhou Tong employed a hypnotic technique.
With a single sound, in both of their eyes, Huang Chen’s strike directly shattered Shangguan Wugou!
“Ahhhh!!”
Water Dragon instantly descended into madness and locked onto Huang Chen fiercely.
“You killed Goddess Luo, die!”
“Calm down, it wasn’t on purpose!”
“There’s nothing to explain; you will accompany Goddess Luo to the grave!”
The two engaged in a desperate showdown, Water Dragon madly burning his powers, leaving Huang Chen with no chance to escape, forcing him to fight head-on!
“Damn, it’s all that little brat’s fault; I was just one step away from becoming the God of Water!”
Huang Chen was enveloped in demonic energy, resisting while voicing his thoughts.
This guy actually wanted to become a god!
“Another worthless wretch who has abandoned his own roots; truly pathetic.”
Zhou Tong shook his head, abandoning the idea of watching from the sidelines and re-entered the fray.
“Spirit Seal 91, Thousand Hands Bright Clear Punishment!”
As a talisman descended, countless rays of light burst forth!
Huang Chen was caught between the onslaught and nearly obliterated!
“Ahhhh… wait for me; I will definitely come back!”
Suddenly, his body swelled and then exploded, sending Zhou Tong and Water Dragon flying away.
In a dire moment, he self-destructed his physical body, allowing a remnant soul to escape, fleeing for his life!
With the enemy gone, Water Dragon’s rage had no outlet, and he instantly fell into madness.
“Goddess Luo!! I have broken my promise to you; I’m sorry! What meaning is there in living anymore!”
“Truly unsightly!”
Zhou Tong looked at the struggling Water Dragon, his killing intent rising sharply.
It would be incredibly easy to kill him now and obtain the key.
But after a moment, he slowly lowered his hand.
“Fine, let me give you a good dream!”
Zhou Tong manipulated the Reflections on Water and Flowers to construct an illusion for him.
In the illusion, Water Dragon and Goddess Luo walked side by side in a sea of flowers, making promises.
“Water Dragon, if I die, what will you do?”
“Easy, I’ll follow you!”
“That won’t do; you must live well and guard my divine body. One day, I will return using secret methods.”
“Okay, I promise you!”
Water Dragon’s eyes flickered, as if he hadn’t seen through the other’s lies.
“Haha… I knew you cared for me the most.”
Like a maiden, Goddess Luo skipped away, chanting as she ran: “Water Dragon, Water Dragon, do not cry or worry, Water Dragon, Water Dragon, forever and always…”
Watching her figure, tears shimmered in Water Dragon’s eyes.
“Water Dragon, Water Dragon… cry for me!”
Zhou Tong gritted his teeth and said. No sooner had he spoken, torrential rain began to fall in the secret realm.
Water Dragon cried!
The key fell, and Zhou Tong caught it in his hands.
“Take your key, return your freedom!”
Zhou Tong absorbed the power of the authority of water and shattered the chains.
“Five Dragon Divine Talisman, Flying Dragon in the Sky!”
Countless divine lights flashed, severing those shackles, and Water Dragon truly soared into the sky, leaving behind this sorrowful place.
Everything seemed to settle like dust, and just as everyone stared blankly in the direction Water Dragon had departed, Zhou Tong suddenly descended from the sky, stopping by Goddess Luo’s coffin.
“How long are you going to keep pretending? It’s time to open your eyes!”
At these words, everyone felt a chill down their spines!
