Chapter 1741: Green Dragon's Might
"It worked! It's exactly like what the book said!" The Dragon Emperor reached out to hold the broken sword.
His palm was still bleeding but the blood did not drip everywhere. Instead, it was continuously absorbed by the sword through its hilt.
The blood sacrifice will need to continue until the casting skill has been completed, so it will use up a lot of blood essence!
This was why this battle needed to be resolved as quickly as possible, or the Emperor would lose too much blood and the Divine Dragon tribe would lose the battle without even a fight.
"Blood offering to the Green Dragon! Grant me divine strength!" The Emperor bellowed as he sprinted to the head of the dragon carcass.
Immediately, Spiritual Qi streamed towards him. Half of it went to the sword and the other half into the dragon's head.
That was roughly about 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones.
A One-Star Earth-God instrument would require 1 million Spiritual Stones, whereas a Two-Star Earth-God instrument would need 10 million!
The fact that 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones worth of Spirit Qi would be needed to fuel the sword and the dragon carcass meant that they would be able to exert the much needed Three-star Earth-God strength.
"Ancestor Green Dragon! Help me kill the enemy! Destroy their troops!" The Dragon Emperor roared as he sprang forward, holding the sword in one hand.
The Emperor's body flashed green as dragon scales began to cover his torso.
Dragon fangs, fins, and claws sprouted, sharp and formidable.
"Roar!" The head of the dragon carcass roared.
The brilliant green light took the form of a giant green dragon a few hundred miles long.
As the Emperor charged forward with the sword in hand, the dragon's shadow followed closely behind.
"Incredible! Father's attack is about to contain the strength of a Three-star Earth-God! He will be able to terminate all the enemy soldiers for sure!"
"That's right! The strength that grandpa is borrowing from our ancestors can crush the enemy's battle formation! This is going to be an easy win!"
"This is great! After engaging in battle for a whole month, these warring days are finally going to end..."
The Divine Dragon royal family members were all very excited at the prospect.
Success was very close. Once the sword struck, all their problems would be resolved.
However, Chen Xiaobei was not as optimistic as the rest. "It may not be that simple..."
"Not that simple?" Ling Qingfeng's smile shrunk. "Did you notice something?"
Chen Xiaobei whispered, "The enemy is superior in every aspect, and they are also the descendants of a dragon. Could they also possess a similar Earth-God Instrument?"
"That..." Ling Qingfeng floundered. "That's would be a very small possibility... If the enemy also have a similar trump card, they would have already used it. Likewise, why would they have endured the whole month fighting without it?"
Chen Xiaobei frowned, "Be it as it may, have you ever wondered why the enemy uses a combat formation of 10,000 people to stall the Emperor? Why hasn't a single elite with the same rank as the Emperor showed up since the beginning of the battle?"
Ling Qingfeng wrung her hands around nervously. "You mean that the elites who are the same rank as grandfather are still preparing their trump cards? Is that why they have not joined the battle yet?!"
"Yeah, something like that!" Chen Xiaobei said. "Of course, I hope that I'm wrong! The best outcome would be for the Emperor to end the fight once and for all!"
"Mm! Let's see what happens..." Ling Qingfeng nodded. "At least we have the advantage for now!"
"Roar!" A thundering roar exploded ahead.
The Dragon Emperor, longsword gleaming in his hand, had already reached the enemy's battle formation.
The one-hundred-mile long dragon's shadow leaped upwards, and then sprang downwards as the Emperor swung the sword towards the 10,000-strong battle formation.
The 10,000 soldiers, with the addition of the Earth-God level battle formation's special ability, clumped together to form a giant vermillion shield.
Originally, the shield had the defensive power of a One-star Earth-God.
With the three Two-Star Earth-God Instruments and eight One-star Earth-God Instruments within the combat formation, however, the shield's defense was boosted to an equivalent to the strength of four Two-Star Earth-Gods.
At present, this was the most powerful defense the enemy had brandished so far.
The blade of the sword in the Emperor's hand struck the giant shield and the dragon's shadow swooped down as well, landing on the giant shield with its gigantic talons.
There was a loud rumbling and the shield shattered!
The four Two-star Earth-Gods defensive strength was all but useless!
Of course, this was not surprising at all.
The sword that the Dragon Emperor wielded was powered with 100 million low-grade Spiritual Qi and it also exerted the strength of a Three-star Earth-God!
That attack was like a walk in the park.
Swish!
Swish!
With the shield in pieces, the battle formation was completely ruined. The 10,000 scattered soldiers were now exposed under the dragon's shadow.
A pair of razor-sharp claws glowed green and reached towards the soldiers like a grim reaper's scythe harvesting souls.
If even the giant vermillion shield could be destroyed by that Green Dragon's giant claws, just imagine the harm it could do to the vulnerable soldiers.
"Ahhh!"
"Have mercy.... Have mercy..."
Cries of horror pierced the heavens, as thousands of soldiers were being ripped apart by the dragon's claw.
They were all very strong cultivators but right now, they were like helpless little insects, and those giant dragon claws were like a pair of human legs, trampling on the ants' nest.
By the time the Green Dragon claws had completed its attack and disappeared, the battlefield was awash with blood and squashed bodies.
In a matter of seconds, the 10,000 soldiers' battle formation was reduced to 3,000.
The survivors were too terror-stricken to react. They could not even hold up their weapons.
"Ancestor Green Dragon! Lend me your divine strength again!" The Dragon Emperor bellowed.
Spiritual Qi swarmed in from all directions into the longsword. The dragon's shadow that had previously dispersed amassed again.
The second strike would completely wipe out the remainder of the enemy soldiers, putting an end to the month-long bitter strife.
Suddenly, at this critical moment, a voice roared from within the tear in the skies, "Ancestor Vermillion Dragon! Protect my children!"
A hundred-mile long Vermillion Dragon tore through the rift and came swooping down!
