Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 625: The Dragon Beast Awakens
Two radiant streaks of light shot forth like arrows from a bowstring, charging straight towards the gateway.
The mere distance of thirty zhang was but an instant for cultivators of the Nine Heavens, and they were confident that even if the Dragon Beast reached the peak of the Eight Heavens, it couldn’t stop them in such a short span.
At worst, they would brace themselves for some injuries and push through.
However, while Chu Nan and Jiang Meier had their plans, the Dragon Beast reacted faster than they did.
Instead of stopping Chu Nan and Jiang Meier from reaching the gateway that led out of the Deadly Silence Space, it suddenly opened its massive mouth.
Razor-sharp teeth emitted a nauseating stench like rows of steel blades as it lunged forward to devour.
However, its target wasn’t Chu Nan and Jiang Meier but the gateway on the ground!
With a crunch!
Along with rocks and soil, the gateway to leave the Deadly Silence Space was swallowed whole by the Dragon Beast. Chu Nan and Jiang Meier halted abruptly; they had never imagined the gateway could be consumed.
"Not good, retreat!" With the gateway gone, there was temporarily no way to leave. Chu Nan and Jiang Meier quickly changed direction to distance themselves from the Dragon Beast.
The Dragon Beast, however, didn’t pursue, because, within the confines of the Deadly Silence Space, the gateway to leave had been ingested.
Chu Nan and Jiang Meier found themselves trapped like fish in a barrel; it wasn’t in a hurry to kill but planned to toy with them slowly.
"Finally, finally, fresh blood has entered again." The Dragon Beast’s eyes glowed with derision as it looked at Chu Nan and Jiang Meier, full of mockery.
"Though having that gateway in my stomach is uncomfortable, devouring you two will warm me up!"
The Dragon Beast spoke human words, chuckling at Chu Nan and Jiang Meier.
It possessed a true dragon’s bloodline, its physical body unmatched, capable of crushing a mountain with a mere roll, and causing the void to shake with a simple flick of its tail.
A casual drop of its sharp claw could decimate millions of lives.
Even among martial artists at the peak realm of the Eight Heavens, it was a formidable and terrifying existence, rarely facing equals of the same tier.
"Mighty and noble true dragon, a humble lady like me accidentally strayed here; I beg your great mercy to spare me?" Jiang Meier showed a pitiful demeanor, looking extremely delicate.
She cast a charming gaze at the Dragon Beast, intending to use her Charm Technique to have it regurgitate the gateway.
"What kind of thing dares to charm me?" The Dragon Beast saw through Jiang Meier’s charm, instantly enraged.
Its massive claw descended like a floating dark cloud, causing Jiang Meier to suddenly see darkness before being swatted away like a meteor, crashing into a nearby mountain range.
Jiang Meier, who had always succeeded with her innate charm, suffered another defeat, enduring considerable damage after Chu Nan.
Bang!
Jiang Meier burst out from the mountains, her appearance now disheveled, a stark contrast from her prior elegance.
At this moment, she was furious to the point of exploding; she could tolerate Chu Nan’s indifference, but now even this stupid beast looked down on her!
This shattered the confidence Jiang Meier had built over a thousand years.
"Human woman, if you were covered in the same solid scales as I am, with a thick tail, I might respond to your pursuit."
"You’re too ugly in this form, but your flesh seems tender enough for a hearty meal."
The Dragon Beast’s words pierced Jiang Meier like a sharp blade; even Chu Nan never called her ugly, yet this beast did?
The massive blow nearly shattered Jiang Meier’s Dao Heart.
Chu Nan remained silent, his gaze towards Jiang Meier filled with sympathy.
Though Charm Technique was a mysterious and powerful path, it was ultimately a minor one with many defenses against it.
Only those with unstable Dao Hearts, weak minds, would fall for Jiang Meier’s allure.
The Dragon Beast’s gaze finally settled on Chu Nan, its golden eyes suddenly revealing desire and greed: "Human, I sense the aura of the Ancestral Bloodline within you."
"That’s the most precious bloodline in the Three Realms, even a trace would benefit me immensely."
"And the Ancestral Bloodline within you is the richest I’ve seen."
"If I devour you, my power is sure to advance, and perhaps one day I can leave this Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"
The Dragon Beast licked its sharp teeth, its desire for Chu Nan unrestrained.
"You think you can devour my Ancestral Bloodline? You’re not qualified!" Chu Nan’s aura exploded, unleashing the Zangba Evil Body, his body engulfed in Blood Flame, instantly reaching his strongest state.
Seeing Chu Nan’s power surge, the Dragon Beast’s menacing mouth curved into a smirk: "You can harness such a wondrous change with the Ancestral Bloodline, very well... very well."
"You are indeed an exceptional human, but unfortunately, your fate is destined to be devoured by me!"
Rumble!
The Dragon Beast’s massive body began to move, like a rolling hill, charging fiercely at Chu Nan.
Wherever it passed, deep trenches were left on the earth, and the surrounding world was filled with the aura of death, whipping up fierce winds throughout the Deadly Silence Space.
Its five claws darkened the sky, rapidly descending upon Chu Nan’s head.
The dragon claw seemed like a small mountain, poised to crush Chu Nan into a paste.
"Sky-Evading Horizon!"
Seeing this, Chu Nan immediately used Sky-Evading Horizon, narrowly evading the massive claw’s relentless strike.
Boom!
The claw landed, the ground instantly cracking, leaving hideous scars, the force lifting dust miles high, forming a vast basin in an instant.
Seeing this, Chu Nan was astounded; the Demon Beast’s strength was overwhelmingly powerful!
Now filled with dread towards the Dragon Beast.
"Jiang Meier, what are you staring for? We must join forces if we have any hope of defeating it and escaping alive!"
Jiang Meier snapped back, her gaze shifting to one of rage, but soon calmed and said: "This Dragon Beast dares call me ugly; no one has ever called me that since birth."
"I must kill you this time, and no one can stop me!"
Jiang Meier unleashed her killing intent; Charm Technique was merely her method to control men, she herself possessed strength comparable to the peak of the Eight Heavens.
Though slightly weaker than the Second Hall Master.
Jiang Meier wielded a long whip, her powerful aura swirling as she charged at the Dragon Beast.
The Dragon Beast sneered coldly, seeing Jiang Meier’s approach, it again swung its dragon claw, accompanied by a thunderous clap like a bird’s cry, unleashing explosive and rending force.
