Chapter 523 – Legendary Stories of Tianyuan Begin to Spread

Sophia and Sickle Moon had arrived in the Boulder City region a day earlier.

Despite thousands of Black Crows constantly searching, it still took them a full day and night to intercept this powerful, constantly moving monster in a location quite distant from the clue area.

It seemed they weren’t too late.

Sophia restrained Sickle Moon who immediately wanted to charge forward, focusing her gaze on this crimson two-headed Dragon while continuously using her ‘Nightshade Eyes’ ability to observe.

She vaguely saw the brilliant, shimmering soul light beneath its massive body.

“It’s a Soul Realm crow.”

…

The crimson Dragon stood firmly on the ground, its cold yet bloodthirsty eyes fixed intently on the two figures approaching on moonlight.

White robes, purple clouds, sky patrol.

It didn’t understand anything about the Sky Patrol Warzone, but humans appearing here at this time must be Taixuan’s reinforcements.

Though bloodthirsty and unable to control its desires, it wasn’t foolish enough to remain in one area for long. It constantly changed locations, leaving behind numerous clues that could mislead trackers.

It had once wreaked havoc in a medium-sized country, hunting repeatedly before leaving gracefully.

Large countries like Taixuan had many powerful figures, including some stronger than itself.

However, such powerful individuals were scattered across various regions, making them few and far between!

Its stays were brief, making the chance of encountering world-famous experts extremely low.

Compared to the substantial gains from blood sustenance, these minor risks were completely worthwhile!

And now,

The crimson two-headed Dragon didn’t believe famous experts could arrive in such a short time.

It didn’t recognize these two individuals.

“More ants coming to die?”

Its Dragon pupils narrowed as a rumbling voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Sickle Moon bared her teeth, “Awoo?”

Sophia completely understood her meaning, “Yes, go ahead.”

While she spoke, two Nether Crows had already flown unnoticed to the side of the dying green Dragon and black-armored general. Countless black feathers drifted down, forming concentric circles around them, lifting them up and carrying them to a more distant location.

“Hmm?”

The crimson two-headed Dragon noticed this scene, but before it could do anything, the figure on the moonlight shot forward like lightning.

Under the bright moonlight, a moon-silver Saber materialized before Sickle Moon’s bared teeth.

Clenching the blade between her teeth, her hands covered with furry hair, sharp claws extended forward.

Wrapped in moonlight, she landed on all fours, leaping down along a long ladder paved by moonlight, trailing a long stream of flowing light and moon shadows behind her.

Instantly, the crimson Dragon’s scales stood on end, making it disregard everything else.

“Scorching Breath!”

A massive pillar of flame erupted. Through the crimson two-headed Dragon’s fine control, the flame pillar twisted mid-air, tracing a spiral trajectory that made it harder to predict and evade.

Yet the wolf girl racing on moonlight was even more agile, seemingly running along the flame pillar as she reached the crimson two-headed Dragon in the blink of an eye.

Her speed surged once more, flashing past the massive Dragon as if teleporting.

Flash Strike Moon Blade!

A moon-silver slash swept across the sky.

On one side of the crimson two-headed Dragon, the hard scales were easily sliced open.

The self-immolating sword strike from Boulder City’s Sword Saint Chu Shifang had only managed to create a foot-long minor wound.Under the moonlight, the wolf girl flashed by, yet managed to slash open a massive wound two to three meters long.

Blood spurted out.

The crimson dragon roared in pain, his draconic pupils abruptly contracting as a trace of fear surfaced.

“So fast!”

He felt some fear, but even more so, rage.

From the brief exchange, he had already determined that this wolf girl was merely at the Heaven-Earth Realm, with a Domain rank of only two to three thousand meters.

He had just bled at the hands of a Heaven-Earth Realm human.

Now, he had suffered a significant injury under the claws of a Heaven-Earth Realm wolf girl.

“Roar!!”

The other dragon head suddenly let out a roar, sending out ripples of sound waves containing terrifying power. Visible waves, sharp as blades, spread out—a force capable of easily slicing apart mountain peaks.

The wolf girl, who had been dashing on moonlight and turning back, indeed paused and dodged to the side.

This wolf girl was faster than him, significantly so, but he was not without experience in dealing with speed-type experts.

As the roar echoed, his dragon claw opened and closed.

Visible crimson particles converged, and a fiery storm was about to form, intending to engulf the moon-silver figure.

The storm erupted.

But at the same time, Sickle Moon vanished.

Bright Moon Moon Escape.

The bright moon in the night sky suddenly shone brighter, and Sickle Moon’s figure disappeared, only to reappear the next moment pouncing down from the moon.

“Swish—”

“Swish—”

“Swish—”

Sickle Moon repeated the motions of disappearing, reappearing under the moon, disappearing, and reappearing.

Her speed was already exceptional, and with her constant vanishing and reappearing under the moonlight, the ferocious two-headed dragon now seemed like a clumsy target, being toyed with relentlessly and helplessly!

“So fast! So strong!”

The Sword Saint of Cedar City exclaimed in awe—what artistry!

If this continued, they could defeat this despair-inducing foe.

However,

though this wolf girl was agile and fierce in her attacks, she was also dancing on the edge of a blade. Her margin for error was slim.

He couldn’t help but clench his fist.

Flames that filled the heavens and earth erupted in his vision.

Even the darkness of night could no longer conceal it; the flames dyed the entire sky crimson, and all vegetation and land within a kilometer were incinerated in the blaze, mountains collapsing with a thunderous roar.

The crimson two-headed dragon used a massive area-of-effect attack to deal with the agile wolf girl.

“Burn! Annihilate!”

The dragon chanted an incantation, but his golden-red draconic pupils abruptly narrowed.

Amid the towering flames, a figure slowly walked out.

She wore a White-Purple Cloud Robe, over which was draped a veil formed from the convergence of bright moonlight.

Moon Garment!

Under the moonlight, the power of the Moon Garment was endless.

The flames and shockwaves surged but couldn’t even tear through the outermost layer of the Moon Garment.

Her robe remained undamaged, her short hair unchanged.

Only her chilling killing intent pressed forward.

“Gulp~!”

The crimson two-headed dragon’s pupils reflected the gradually approaching figure.

He couldn’t help but feel terror.

He couldn’t think of a strategy to defeat this wolf girl!

“Wait, why am I entangled with this wolf girl? The Taixuan expert has arrived; I can’t stay here any longer.”

He had to retreat!

He had to retreat as soon as possible!

Now calmed down, rationality returned to his mind, and he finally remembered that the Taixuan expert wearing the White-Purple Cloud Robe who had appeared here wasn’t alone—there were two of them.

And it seemed…

Recalling the earlier scenes, the status of that black-haired woman was clearly above this silver-haired wolf girl.

Who were they exactly?

Why were these two not among the renowned Taixuan experts he knew of?

“Roar!”The Crimson Twin-Headed Dragon roared, as a brilliant crimson light gradually bloomed across its body. A terrifying energy surged rapidly within it.

It was erupting.

It knew full well that simply fleeing would make it difficult to escape the wolf girl who rode the moonlight.

The dragon’s skin cracked, and scorching magma gushed forth.

Its body was also expanding.

One circle, two circles, three circles!

In the blink of an eye, a colossal magma dragon, towering over 300 meters tall, stood upon the land.

Its form was composed of vast amounts of magma and a small amount of flesh.

Magma continuously flowed from its body, and flesh constantly sloughed off, yet new magma surged forth unceasingly.

“What kind of monster is this!”

Chu Sword Saint, along with the Fourth-Order Experts of Cedar City watching from afar, were utterly stunned.

They had no doubt that even if this monster did nothing but walk across Cedar City, the entire city would be reduced to ruins.

The monster radiated boundless light and heat, turning the surrounding land into scorched earth.

Chunks of ground and mountain peaks crumbled, swiftly dissolving into the tide of magma.

“Awooo!”

Sickle Moon bared her teeth, unsure where to strike.

She looked toward Sophia.

Before setting out, the Lord had instructed her to listen carefully to Sophia and not recklessly unleash her ultimate move.

Sophia declined Sickle Moon’s request to use her ultimate move.

“Let me handle this.”

“His body has expanded, and his energy has surged dramatically in a short time, but his Divine Soul has become more fragile and unstable.”

She spread her hands wide.

From within her broad sleeves, one Black Crow after another fluttered out in a flurry.

In an instant, hundreds of Black Crows and Nether Crows arrayed themselves around her.

Unlike the hasty interception of the monster legion last time, when Sophia had just advanced to the legendary rank and had not yet fully mastered her abilities as the Mistress of Crows, now her creations, the Black Crows, still had room for improvement, but she had already amassed a considerable number of the new generation of Black Crows and Nether Crows.

Her Domain unfurled.

The night, which had previously been in its ordinary state, instantly shifted into the conceptual night.

Abruptly, the world plunged into absolute darkness.

The blazing magma dragon’s light could not penetrate even half a meter, with only the bright moon in the sky remaining, casting faint strands of moonlight.

The Domain pressed down with sealing force!

The magma dragon staggered.

Hidden within it, the Crimson Twin-Headed Dragon’s pupils trembled again.

It could not see its surroundings, but it could clearly sense this immense, overwhelming sealing power of the Domain.

“A Domain spanning over ten thousand… no, twenty thousand meters! A powerhouse of this caliber!”

It was merely an ordinary Soul Realm dragon—why had it attracted the pursuit of such an existence?

The moment the sealing force descended, the next instant, in this pitch-black night, crimson eyes opened.

They were the eyes of Black Crows.

A second pair, a third pair, a tenth pair, a hundredth pair, a thousandth pair…

Dense clusters of crimson eyes appeared all around, encircling it in a ring.

This was the only sight in the darkness of the night.

Thousand-Eyed Gaze!

The Crimson Twin-Headed Dragon felt somewhat dazed, and in its stupor, it heard the howling of a storm, as if a raging tempest was rolling in.

Raindrops sizzled as they struck its body—they were strands of black feathers.

Sizzle—!

The black feathers pierced through the magma, and the magma’s heat receded, its glow dimming.

Sizzle—

The black feathers pierced through the magma, and the scorching flames dissolved, vanishing beneath the howling storm.

Sizzle—

Sizzle—Black Feather pierced through the magma, and the colossal magma dragon disintegrated. The vast and scorching energy was devoured completely within mere seconds under the Nethercrow Storm.

Revealing the disheveled Crimson Twin-Headed Dragon within.

His dragon pupils widened, brimming with extreme terror.

“No…”

“No—!”

The roaring sound of the storm thundered in their ears, drowning out the dragon’s roar.

After a while,

As the darkness slowly receded and the world returned to its original daylight appearance, what unfolded before everyone’s eyes was:

Barren, scorched earth with lingering flames still blazing fiercely, and the gradually dissipating black storm above it.

And,

The fragmented, familiar, and massive dragon skeleton that had fallen from the black storm.

“Boom!”

The dragon bones crashed to the ground, half-buried in the earth.

A blue light sphere slowly emerged from the remains.

Chu Shifang swallowed hard, gazing at the figure standing tall in the distant sky.

Black hair, commanding black crows.

She was retracting the black crows fluttering around her into her sleeves, as if she had merely done something trivial.

Nether Crow!

He had heard a little about this Tianyuan Expert, but today his perception was thoroughly refreshed.

Effortlessly annihilating a Soul Realm existence.

This, was the Tianyuan Nether Crow!

…

Dozens of kilometers away, Snowpine City was also faintly affected, experiencing slight tremors.

Within the city, some citizens were panicking, while some professionals were packing their belongings to flee.

Beside the Professionals’ Guild, the Big Bird Tavern.

The entire tavern lacked its usual cheerful and lively atmosphere, the air thick with tension and gravity.

Sweat beaded on people’s foreheads, droplets falling.

“What’s the situation?”

An Elite-level professional asked.

Someone replied, “Chu Sword Saint has gone to confront it, but the one that appeared outside our city seems to be the ‘Crimson Twin-Headed Dragon,’ marked as extremely dangerous on the hazard alert list!”

Bang!

Someone stumbled in through the door, their face filled with terror, saying, “The two legendary generals under Chu Sword Saint’s command have been severely injured! Chu Sword Saint is also in dire straits!”

Like a thunderbolt striking the earth, many turned pale and swayed on their feet.

A former Lord gritted his teeth, trembling with hatred, “Why not fight that dragon to the death!”

They weren’t necessarily lacking in the resolve to risk their lives, and some were tired of fleeing so disgracefully.

However,

“Even the Green Dragon under Chu Sword Saint couldn’t withstand a single blow. What can we do besides becoming snacks for the Crimson Twin-Headed Dragon?!”

Despite saying this, the speaker didn’t leave either, merely gripping their saber hilt tightly, as if hoping for a bit more courage.

Time ticked away.

No further battle reports came from outside the city.

They faintly heard a tremendous noise.

The tavern was oppressive, like the agony before an execution.

The only consolation was that they hadn’t heard the sound of the city falling.

Perhaps that Crimson Twin-Headed Dragon had already left?

After all, their Snowpine City was a Taixuan city!

Bang—

Someone pushed the door open.

It was a tall young man in gray robes.

This person was a regular at the Big Bird Tavern and also a high-level professional skilled in reconnaissance.

“Brother Lin, weren’t you scouting at the front lines? What’s the situation now…”

A familiar professional tentatively asked.

Seeing that Young Lin’s expression wasn’t bad, his heart finally felt a little less suspended, “Could it be that the Twin-Headed Dragon found Snowpine City too tough to crack and left on its own?”

Young Lin’s lips curled into a smile.”Not at all. Powerful reinforcements have arrived—experts from the newly established Sky Patrol Warzone.”

“So you mean Sword Saint Chu joined forces with the reinforcements to repel that twin-headed Dragon foe?”

“Not exactly…”

The young man surnamed Lin curled his lips upward. Only when he noticed the increasingly hostile gazes around him did he continue,

“Two experts arrived.”

“Tianyuan·Moon Wolf and Tianyuan·Nether Crow.”

“As for that terrifying crimson twin-headed Dragon? Hah! The moment Lord Nether Crow made a move, it was utterly annihilated.”
