Chapter 59 Dead End
Long Yingxue sensed it; she finally sensed Cheng Xiao's presence!
Previously, she only knew that Cheng Xiao was still alive, but she could never find where Cheng Xiao was.
Now, his presence has finally reappeared in the underwater dragon palace!
He is still alive!
Long Yingxue wanted to get rid of the Dragon King directly and go find Cheng Xiao.
But the other party was extremely persistent, launching attacks continuously and giving her no chance to escape.
Long Yingxue rolled around in the thunderclouds, tearing apart large swathes of space with each swing of her sharp claws.
Just as both sides were trembling, the Dragon King, who had been in the upper hand, suddenly screamed, giving her an opening.
She could sense that Cheng Xiao must have done something. He was working hard down there, and she had to hurry and kill the Dragon King to save him!
With each attack, the current Dragon King's form has completely collapsed.
The majesty that originally belonged to the dragon race has vanished completely.
Despite this, he seemed to feel no fatigue at all, and his enormous body would rapidly deform after each injury.
A huge gash split open on the Dragon King's back, from which countless red tentacles covered with sharp teeth and suckers emerged and waved wildly in the air.
His dragon head was completely twisted, his jaw split into four pieces, with no tongue inside, only a huge compound eye that emitted an eerie light.
"Eat, eat it all, eat away your purest bloodline, and then you will be able to descend completely..."
The Dragon King uttered mad ravings, the sound exceptionally noisy, as if spoken by countless mouths.
The Azure Dragons who had been watching the battle from the sidelines underwent drastic changes the moment they heard these delirious words.
Ao Shuang clutched her head in pain; fleshy growths swelled up on her once beautiful face, and her eyeballs bulged out.
She let out a hysterical laugh and lunged at Long Yingxue.
Even an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, with unparalleled cultivation, would lose their Dao heart and fall into madness in an instant under this level of mental pollution.
However, Long Yingxue has already inherited the Dragon King's legacy, and the purest bloodline flows through her veins.
These madnesses and pollution have no effect on her whatsoever.
Facing Ao Shuang's charge, Long Yingxue did not use any fancy spells.
With a flick of her massive, three-thousand-foot-long dragon body, she struck Ao Shuang with a deafening roar, the sound like a thunderclap.
The moment Ao Shuang's twisted dragon body made contact with her, it was sliced in two without even letting out a scream, falling directly into the sea, its soul dissolving completely.
Upon seeing the corpse, the dragons below went berserk and rushed forward to tear it apart.
It seems they've completely forgotten that they ate the eldest princess of the dragon clan.
There was not a trace of pity in Long Yingxue's eyes.
From the day they extracted her dragon tendons, these dragons were no longer her family; they were merely monsters.
Long Yingxue turned her dragon head around, opened her dragon mouth, and unleashed a dark golden dragon breath that slammed into the mutated dragon king.
The Dragon King brandished countless tentacles, spewing out purplish-black venom in an attempt to block it.
But faced with absolute bloodline suppression, those filthy tentacles quickly disappeared.
The dark golden dragon breath pierced through the Dragon King's massive body, blasting the deformed organ in his chest into fragments.
After Cheng Xiao pulled the dragon tendon from the throne, the Dragon King's body was already severely injured.
Now, under Long Yingxue's attack, it has completely collapsed.
His massive body rapidly melted in mid-air, transforming into a rain of blood that filled the sky, imbued with a purplish-black aura.
The blood rain, upon falling into the sea, rapidly coalesced into a massive black torrent, relentlessly gushing back towards the Dragon Palace's main hall on the seabed!
"Trying to run away?"
Long Yingxue sensed the strange movement coming from the deep sea. The eerie energy that was pointing directly at the main hall of the Dragon Palace made her heart tighten suddenly!
Cheng Xiao is right below!
Long Yingxue ignored the remaining deformed dragons in the sky. Her enormous dragon body instantly shrank to human form, and she plunged into the completely blackened deep sea without hesitation, heading straight for the main hall of the Dragon Palace.
Before she could think, she kicked the door of the main hall down.
After rushing into the main hall, the scene before her eyes stunned her for a moment.
When she cleaved through the waters, she was already somewhat prepared that the former Dragon Palace was no more, and this place was no longer her home.
But seeing what was inside with her own eyes still shocked her.
Why did it turn out this way?
In the center of the hall, the throne that should have symbolized the highest power of the dragon race had now turned into a terrifying monster tens of feet tall, like a small mountain of flesh.
Countless purple veins throbbed wildly on the mountain of flesh, and the flesh writhed incessantly.
Before that terrifying throne of flesh and blood stood a slender yet upright figure.
Cheng Xiao was dressed in white, just as he had when the two parted, and had not changed much. He stood out so out of place amidst the filth in the hall.
In his hand, he held a dragon tendon that emitted a faint golden light.
"Cheng Xiao!"
Long Yingxue's tears fell instantly, and she desperately wanted to rush over.
When she received the Dragon King's inheritance, her mind was blank except for the single thought of "saving Chengxiao".
Now she has finally met the person she has been longing for.
Thankfully, Cheng Xiao is alright, and thankfully they can meet again.
The Dragon King is dead, and her revenge has been fulfilled. No one can stop them from returning to their peaceful lives.
Long Yingxue wanted to save Cheng Xiao and leave, abandoning everything in the Dragon Palace.
But at that moment, the black torrent that surged back from the sea entered the main hall and merged into the flesh-and-blood throne.
The throne seemed to come alive, letting out a chilling roar; it was as if it had come to life!
Countless tentacles surged out from under the base, not only sealing off all the exits of the main hall, but also sweeping directly towards Long Yingxue!
It's yearning!
This "thing" is now in dire need of a new host.
And before it stood a host of the purest bloodline.
Long Yingxue, who has integrated the Dragon King's legacy and reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, is the most perfect "vessel" and "new king" in its eyes!
Cheng Xiao originally intended to block those tentacles.
But suddenly, a system screen popped up in front of him.
[Ding! Ultimate storyline trigger node detected!]
[Ultimate Mission Issued: Please assist the Dragon Girl in ascending the Dragon Palace Throne and completing the coronation ceremony!]
[Warning! The host must ensure the Dragon Girl ascends the throne! This is the core, underlying logic of this world!]
[Mission Successful: Obtain the Ultimate Path reward and leave this world!]
[Mission Failed: Annihilation! Annihilation! Annihilation!]
Upon seeing the content on the electronic screen, Cheng Xiao understood.
This is indeed a dead end.
In the previous instance, no matter how outrageous his actions were, or even if he deviated from the instance's storyline, this electronic screen never popped up even once.
It only appeared during the final instance settlement.
But now the electronic screen appears on its own initiative, as if urging him on.
The "throne" in the system's eyes is this indescribable mass of flesh and blood.
If he follows the system's instructions and lets Long Yingxue sit on it, Long Yingxue will be instantly swallowed by the turbid source, turning into the next mutated monster, and forever becoming this filthy living hotbed.
If he does not comply, the system will determine that the task has failed and execute the elimination.
This is a script that, no matter which choice you make, is destined to lead to despair.
It's unclear whether his Mahayana-stage soul can withstand the system's [annihilation].
