Refining the Mountains and Rivers

shot up from his heart.
Liu Yun glanced at the tattered and nearly ruined puppet.
He thought, hey, what are you looking at me for? Your opponent is right over there.
I was just passing by, so why don’t you two go back to what you were doing?

Then, tragedy occurred.

The puppet roared and opened its mouth towards Liu Yun.
A terrifying suction force erupted, locking onto the space around him.

Liu Yun was stunned.
Then, every hair on his body rose on end.
What are you doing right now? I just appeared for a brief moment and I was about to leave, but now you are doing this to me?

Are you insane or something? Don’t you know that you are going to be beaten to death!?

Of course, he wouldn’t stand there and wait for death.
A resonant dragon’s cry came from his mouth as his human figure broke apart.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a great dragon.
If someone saw the sight of the other two dragons, they would discover that all three of them had completely identical appearances.

After turning into his dragon form, the great dragon swung its tail.
Black cracks appeared in the surrounding space as the imprisonment violently shook.

But at this time, the puppet widened its mouth, roaring even louder.
The swallowing strength instantly rose and the great dragon wailed out loud as it was forcefully pulled towards the puppet’s mouth.

The great dragon had a massive body and the puppet was small.
With the puppet’s size, even if it opened its mouth to the widest, it couldn’t even bite down on half a scale.

But a strange sight occurred.
The great dragon didn’t shrink and the puppet didn’t grow, but it actually managed to swallow the great dragon into its belly.

There seemed to be an absolute contrast of size between the two, but this difference lost all meaning due to the function of the Laws.

“No! No! I won’t be swallowed!” The great dragon roared in horror and panic.
Half of its body had been swallowed and the rest was frantically struggling to escape.

The puppet raised a hand and pressed down on the dragon’s head, forcing it into its mouth.
Then, with a gulp, the astonishingly large and formidable dragon was wholly swallowed up by it.
And the puppet’s size didn’t change at all compared to before.

But at this moment, the puppet’s aura began to rise dramatically.
The great dragon that it had swallowed had become a new fountainhead of its strength!

Seeing this, the Dao Monarch nearly cursed out loud.
He had just used one of his cards and was about to beat this puppet to death, but a great dragon had appeared out of nowhere to deliver supplies to him.
Was this all a joke?

Suddenly, the Dao Monarch frowned.
No, something was wrong…the feeling this great dragon gave off, how come it seemed a little familiar…

The Dao Monarch’s eyes lit up and he fiercely looked at the puppet that had swallowed the dragon.

He finally realized what was unusual about that great dragon…

If the Dao Monarch wanted to brutally tear this puppet into pieces before, then now he wished he could grab hold of it and kiss it.

Great, this was great!

Although he had no idea where this great dragon came from, it was a genuine part of the Myriad Dragon Body.
Now that the puppet had swallowed it up, the Ancient could forget about obtaining the complete Myriad Dragon Body.

Moreover, if the Dao Monarch eliminated this puppet and ruined the great dragon with it, would it affect the Ancient’s plans, potentially even causing them to fail?

The Dao Monarch’s eyes grew increasingly bright.
He suddenly thought that he had grasped some key aspect of the situation.

“Dao Monarch, not even the heavens side with you today! With the dragon helping me, I will pull you down to hell with me!” The puppet snarled as it approached.

The Dao Monarch laughed, “If I could destroy you once before, I can destroy you a second time.
Then today, I’ll make sure you disappear forever!”

Bang –

Terrifying fluctuations of strength erupted from both sides.
The entire First Moon Mountain Range, and even the depths below, violently shook.

At this time, the Shadow Clan that came from the distant Dragon City finally arrived at the fog-covered region of the First Moon Mountain Range.

It was unknown how this fog was formed, but it could even cover up the shockwaves coming from the battle between the Dao Monarch and the puppet.
As the troop stood in the fog, they couldn’t feel anything at all.

The Shadow Clan Patriarch lifted a hand, stopping the troop.
His heated eyes swept across the fog.
He found it difficult to suppress his heart, and even his arms were shivering beneath his robes.

They had arrived.
It was this place, the place their master had informed the Shadow Clan to come to.
As long as they entered and helped their master’s revival then the Shadow Clan would welcome a new world.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his surging state of mind.
He turned and bowed, “Your Highness Saintess, we have arrived at our destination.
I will now open a path in the fog.”

Zhou Li calmly said, “Everything shall be handled by the Patriarch.”

The Shadow Clan Patriarch’s palm flashed and a jade talisman appeared.
Its surface shined with a halo of light.

He carefully poured in his strength and tossed it forward.
The jade talisman howled into the fog.
Wherever it passed through, the fog drew back and dispersed.

But this kind of dispersion didn’t mean that it vanished.
Rather, where the jade talisman passed, it formed a channel that one could clearly see.

“Continue onwards!”

The Shadow Clan Patriarch waved his hand and the imperial carriage continued forward.
The Shadow Clan cultivators slowly marched into the fog.
