Chapter 1881: Ao Xu
Those terrifying roc wings suddenly flapped wildly, scattering in all directions as pairs of arrogant and demonic eyes stared fixedly at the blood-red-haired youth who had appeared.
The people from the Water Moon Cave Heaven also noticed this person—valiant and invincible, terrifyingly powerful, having torn apart a roc with his bare hands.
At this moment, the youth’s blood-red hair billowed wildly as his gaze swept across the void roc clan members. He sneered coldly, “Is there no Golden-Winged Great Roc here?”
“Ao Xu.” In the void, a roc youth transformed into human form, his head full of gray hair, black wings still on his back. He stared at the newcomer and said, “If any of our royal clan were here, would you dare be so arrogant?”
“You roc clan are worthy of being called a royal clan?” Ao Xu sneered disdainfully. He stamped his foot, causing the void to tremble, and lunged straight at a nearby roc. The roc shrieked sharply and blasted toward Ao Xu, fearless, demonic aura surging to the heavens. Its feathers seemed to transform into the sharpest blades in the world, slicing toward Ao Xu’s body.
“Roar…” Ao Xu let out a fierce roar. His palm trembled violently, and instantly, blood light flooded the sky. Endless blood-colored radiance appeared in the void, suddenly entangling the massive body of that roc.
“Boom!” A trembling sound rang out as Ao Xu’s fist shattered heaven and earth, colliding with the roc’s wings. A terrifying explosion erupted, and the roc’s enormous body instantly turned into a mass of blood light, completely shredded. Blood splattered onto Ao Xu, who licked his lips, looking utterly demonic.
“A dragon clan member.” Bai Ling fixed her gaze on Ao Xu and murmured, causing Lin Feng’s eyes to narrow. Dragons—this sacred and powerful race had also appeared on the Immortal Kingdom Trial battlefield.
“Let’s go!” In the void, the demonic roc shouted coldly, then spread its massive wings and flickered away. The other rocs all retreated, then dove down from the sky, disappearing into the vast forest. Ao Xu’s eyes turned icy cold. He suddenly stomped the void, and surging blood light erupted around him. Terrifying illusory blood dragons appeared around him, roaring wildly, spiraling down and charging toward the ground below.
Booming explosions rolled out, and in an instant, a large swath of forest was flattened into nothingness, reduced to void. Ao Xu roared, “If you meet any Golden-Winged Great Roc, tell them to come find me, Ao Xu!”
“This guy is a battle maniac,” Lin Feng thought to himself. If Ao Xu had wanted to continue killing rocs, more would have died by his hand. But he didn’t—he only humiliated the roc clan, challenging the Golden-Winged Great Roc, clearly provoking the roc royal clan.
The rocs left, and Ao Xu’s gaze fell on Lin Feng and the others. He said, “Covered in death aura—you’re all from the Underworld.”
Then his eyes suddenly locked onto Lin Feng, sharp and piercing. A fierce gaze stared straight at Lin Feng as he reached out his hand. A blood-colored dragon claw materialized out of thin air, grabbing directly at Lin Feng, exuding terrifying dragon might.
“Stop!” Bai Ling shouted coldly. The void instantly turned to ice as she struck out with both palms. A cold netherworld hell cauldron appeared in the void, emitting chilling netherworld energy. The cold and death auras intertwined, freezing the dragon claw.
“How dare you stop me!” Ao Xu’s eyes flashed with blood light. He roared angrily and grabbed out again. This time, nine blood-colored palm prints slammed into the cold netherworld hell cauldron, directly shattering it.
“Die!” Suddenly, the Water Moon Cave Heaven experts shouted in unison. Death law raged around Ao Xu, devouring his life force. At the same time, Bai Ling erupted with surging cold netherworld power. An icy netherworld waterfall burst from her body, instantly freezing the entire void into a frozen river.
“The dragon clan is so domineering. And this Ao Xu is clearly a high-rank demon emperor among the dragons. In this Immortal Kingdom Trial ground, almost no one can deal with him—except for those supremely talented human cultivators or equally terrifying king-level demon beasts.”
Lin Feng’s hand suddenly grabbed the void, and a Tai Chi life-and-death chessboard appeared above Ao Xu. Rolling death aura converged wildly, pouring down and flooding into Ao Xu’s body.
“Ao!” A dragon roar shook the void. Ao Xu’s body erupted with surging blood light, resisting the death aura invading him. At the same time, he stepped forward, exuding a terrifying, domineering killing intent.
“Death netherworld art, strike!” Bai Ling shouted coldly. Death aura transformed into terrifying ice spikes, stabbing toward the opponent. The others also attacked, unleashing various divine abilities. The entire void was drowned in death aura. However, Ao Xu’s life force was too vigorous and powerful, his bloodline power terrifying to the extreme, and his physical body invincible. He tore apart attacks with his bare hands, shattering divine abilities. It seemed that aside from death power, no other attack could cause him serious harm.
“Borrow your death law power,” Lin Feng said. His palm struck out repeatedly in the void, and the Tai Chi life-and-death halo blazed brilliantly, surging forward, absorbing the power of life and death from heaven and earth.
“Death law, converge!” Bai Ling and the others all mobilized their terrifying death law power, channeling it all toward the life-and-death halo. Life aura vanished, and death aura flooded the sky. The life-and-death halo transformed into a death diagram. With a tremor of Lin Feng’s hand, it surged forward.
Ao Xu seemed to sense this extremely powerful death force. He stopped advancing, his arrogant, sharp eyes turning bloodshot.
“Roar, roar…” Dragon cries shook heaven and earth. Ao Xu stood his ground, madly punching out. Each punch turned into a blood-colored demon dragon, slamming into the death diagram ahead. Wherever the death diagram covered, even illusory blood dragons had to die. Yet it still shook the death diagram violently. After nine dragon roars, the death diagram finally collapsed completely, the death aura dissipating as Ao Xu broke through it.
But Ao Xu didn’t continue attacking Lin Feng and the others. He only stared at Lin Feng and asked, “You carved a life-and-death array—impressive. Being able to make me use the Blood Dragon Fist is something you can be proud of. I only ask you one thing: what’s with the demon dragon inside you?”
Lin Feng’s expression tightened. No wonder Ao Xu had suddenly attacked him—he had sensed the demon dragon within Lin Feng’s body.
“This demon dragon came from a dragon egg I encountered by chance. I hatched it with my bloodline,” Lin Feng replied, meeting Ao Xu’s gaze.
Ao Xu didn’t confirm or deny. He slowly raised his head, and suddenly, a dragon roar shook heaven and earth. The crowd felt the entire world tremble. At the same time, Lin Feng’s bloodline surged wildly, dragon cries echoing endlessly. With a roar, Lin Feng opened his mouth and spat out dragon aura, accompanied by terrifying demonic energy.
This powerful, surging aura gradually solidified. Before long, a terrifying dark demon dragon coiled around Lin Feng’s body, pitch-black and ferocious. Each dragon scale seemed like a deadly weapon. However, its eyes were still somewhat immature, staring at Ao Xu with a hint of hostility.
“You bastard, you’ve been keeping him inside your body all this time?” Ao Xu glared with huge eyes, staring at Lin Feng, clearly displeased.
“His previous bloodline wasn’t very strong. I nurtured him with my own bloodline, letting him grow stronger as my bloodline strengthens. Isn’t that better?” Lin Feng said calmly. Ao Xu stared at the demon dragon behind Lin Feng. It was a dark demon dragon—a relatively rare type among dragons, extremely violent.
Among dragons, the most violent were divided into three major clans: the dragon royal clan, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and his own kind—the violent blood dragon—along with the demon dragon.
These three types of dragons were the most violent and possessed the strongest combat power.
“So you plan to keep nurturing him inside your body forever?” Ao Xu said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled slightly and looked at Ao Xu: “If you want to take him to the dragon clan for training, I have no objection.”
“You’d be willing to let me take him away?” Ao Xu was clearly surprised. A demon dragon growing up would be terrifyingly powerful. This demon dragon was born from Lin Feng’s bloodline, so it clearly regarded Lin Feng as its mother and was extremely dependent. As long as Lin Feng kept it by his side, it would essentially be his enforcer.
“If it allows him to receive better training, why wouldn’t I be willing?” Lin Feng said with a smile. But Ao Xu fell silent. After a moment, he glared at Lin Feng and said, “No. My blood dragon clan has never been on good terms with the demon dragon clan. If I take him back, who knows what might happen. It’s better for you to entrust him to the demon dragon clan. Of course, if you meet the dragon royal clan—the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon—that would work too. They command the dragon clan and won’t have any issues.”
“In that case, so be it,” Lin Feng said. This time, the demon dragon didn’t return to Lin Feng’s body. Instead, it transformed into human form, pitch-black all over, like wearing a suit of black armor, cold and fearsome. The Water Moon Cave Heaven people felt a wave of emotion—they hadn’t expected Lin Feng to have a demon dragon inside him. And now, Ao Xu’s hostility toward them had unknowingly disappeared. They could all sense it.
