Chapter 237: Chapter 227: The Candle Dragon’s True Strength
"Slash!"
Baili Jinghong shouted angrily, slashing down with his sword.
The hundred-zhang Giant Sword descended from the vortex, fiercely crashing down with a terrifying world-destroying momentum.
Looking at the falling Giant Sword, the Candle Dragon sneered unruffled, "Trapping me, just to build up strength to unleash this strike? The power isn’t weak."
"Essence Blood plus the Array, this must be your strongest sword. Let’s see how strong it is against me."
With those words.
The Scripture Scroll that trapped the Candle Dragon suddenly ignited with even more terrifying flames.
Within a few seconds, the Scripture Scroll was completely burned away.
The Royal Artifact Magical Treasure was as useless as a shadow before the Candle Dragon.
The Candle Dragon’s enormous body soared skyward, its giant mouth gaping open to meet the descending Giant Sword.
"Boom!"
"Buzz buzz!"
In the extremely terrified eyes of everyone, the giant dragon and the Giant Sword collided, like Mars crashing into Earth, with a thunderous explosion and unimaginably explosive energy, sweeping ferociously with destructive momentum.
"Pfft!"
The terrifying power reverberating out shook Baili Jinghong, causing him to vomit blood, his face turning deadly pale like paper.
The ferocious clash, the Candle Dragon forcibly blocked the Giant Sword.
"Indeed, some power." The Candle Dragon slightly sneered, "Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, looking across the Cultivation Realm, there are probably few who are your match, but for me, your power is still too weak, at most, a tickle."
"How is this possible?" Baili Jinghong’s eyes widened in utter horror, "My strongest sword as a Guardian couldn’t even pierce its flesh!"
The strength of the Candle Dragon’s flesh exceeded Baili Jinghong’s imagination.
"The Candle Dragon is unscathed!"
"The Great Guardian gave it his all, even using Essence Blood, and yet couldn’t surpass the Candle Dragon!"
"How could the Candle Dragon’s power be this formidable?"
Baili Tong and the Three Venerables stopped their attacks, all their shocked, fearful eyes turned towards the Candle Dragon.
Baili Zhantian’s face was gloomy, he thought to himself, "To so easily withstand the Great Guardian’s strongest sword, and remain unscathed, the Candle Dragon already possesses Mahayana Stage power."
"If the Candle Dragon goes all out, even for me, it’s incredibly difficult to confront him."
"Brother Fire Dragon is too strong!" The Three-headed Demon Wolf’s eyes bulged out.
The Great Demon King was dumbstruck, "Senior Candle Dragon’s flesh is absurdly strong!"
"Such a terrifying sword, yet it didn’t harm Senior Candle Dragon at all," The Ghost King was extremely shocked, petrified.
Zhaixingzi couldn’t help but exclaim, "The Candle Dragon indeed possesses Mahayana Stage strength, such a powerful body, never seen before."
"Break!"
"Crash!"
The Candle Dragon roared, a terrifying Ancient Fire Attribute Spiritual Power erupted, the Giant Sword’s tip shattered instantly, then exploded inch by inch, finally falling apart.
"Pfft!"
The terrifying Fire Attribute Spiritual Power rampantly swept over, severely injuring Baili Jinghong, making him spit blood again.
"How could its body be so strong? Even with all my might, I couldn’t harm it at all." Baili Jinghong was incredibly shocked, deeply distressed inside.
Baili Jinghong thought he could put up a fight with all his might, but he didn’t expect the Candle Dragon’s power to be so terrifying, utterly not at the same level.
The desperate strike’s power was unimaginably terrifying, combined with the overwhelmingly fearful Ancient Fire Attribute, Baili Jinghong couldn’t withstand it.
This collision left Baili Jinghong severely injured.
Baili Jinghong was defeated.
"So soon unable to continue? Then let me send you on your way myself!" The Candle Dragon sneered, its massive body suddenly diving down.
Though the Candle Dragon’s body was extremely large, its speed was terrifyingly fast as well.
The severely wounded Baili Jinghong, able to hover in mid-air was already his limit, there was no way to dodge the Candle Dragon’s attack.
"Great Guardian!" Baili Tong shouted in terror.
Baili Feng was extremely terrified, "The Great Guardian is badly injured, he can’t dodge at all!"
"Father! Quickly save the Great Guardian!" Baili Qingyu screamed anxiously.
"Roar!"
The Candle Dragon’s enormous body dove down, its massive dragon head fiercely smashed towards the injured Baili Jinghong.
"Defeated by your hand, it’s not unjust at all." Baili Jinghong weakly said, though unwilling in his heart, he had to accept the reality before him.
However.
Just as the Candle Dragon’s giant head was about to smash down, Baili Zhantian suddenly appeared.
"Candle Dragon, don’t be arrogant!" Baili Zhantian roared, unleashing an unparalleled terrifying aura, his palm fiercely countering.
"Boom!"
"Buzz buzz!"
The giant dragon head crashed down fiercely, with a boom, it exploded with terrifying energy fluctuations.
The ferocious attack of the Candle Dragon was forcibly blocked by Baili Zhantian.
As a Mahayana Stage practitioner, Baili Zhantian’s strength was extremely terrifying.
"Baili Zhantian, let me see your Mahayana Stage power!" The Candle Dragon exclaimed excitedly, filled with battle intent.
Baili Zhantian’s hand transformed into a Sword Point, with a fierce shock, a terrifying power forcibly repelled the Candle Dragon.
The Candle Dragon excitedly said, "Indeed, the Mahayana Stage is not weak."
"Candle Dragon, I know you haven’t used your full strength yet," Baili Zhantian said fiercely, "Let me see if your flesh is truly unbreakable!"
"I’ve had the same thought!" The Candle Dragon retorted with overwhelming force, its Ancient Fire Attribute Spiritual Power exploding with full might.
"Buzz buzz!"
The enormous body ignited with terrifying flames, the Candle Dragon’s Spiritual Power and aura surged crazily, causing the entire space to tremble as if it were the end of the world.
The Candle Dragon’s wild aura was rapidly increasing at this moment.
"Senior Candle Dragon’s power is rising so fast!" The Great Demon King couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Indeed, it possesses Mahayana Stage power." Baili Zhantian furrowed his brow deeply, his expression turned incredibly serious.
"Such a terrifying Ancient Fire Attribute..." The clan members like Baili Tong were all stunned, as if turned into plants, unmoving.
"It hasn’t even used its full strength! Can the late stage of Crossing Tribulation be this strong?" The severely injured Baili Jinghong was internally in an uproar.
"Brother Fire Dragon actually... actually possesses Mahayana Stage power!" The Three-headed Demon Wolf said in utter horror, "Brother Fire Dragon, I’m sorry, I underestimated you before."
"The Candle Dragon’s aura has broken through the Mahayana Stage!" The Ghost King was extremely shocked, "Can the late stage of Crossing Tribulation truly achieve this? That’s the Mahayana Stage."
Crazy Old Man shook his head, "The hidden power of Ancient Demon Beasts is very terrifying, it can’t be understood normally, naturally having Ancient Fire Attribute is something humans can’t achieve."
In just less than a few dozen seconds.
The Candle Dragon’s aura settled steadily at the Mahayana Stage level.
"Baili Zhantian, you will be the first Mahayana Stage my own hands slay!" The Candle Dragon shouted excitedly, its enormous body soared skyward, its momentum overwhelming.
"How arrogant!" Baili Zhantian bellowed, then clasped his hands, pushing his Spiritual Power to the extreme, finally shouting, "Gloomful Nether Bell! Subdue for me!"
A massive giant bell, hundreds of zhang wide, came crashing down mercilessly from the void.
