Chapter 396.1. Taotie''s Descent
The purest dragon bloodline wasnt passed down. Along with the fact that dragons found it very difficult to breed, they werent able to maintain sufficient numbers, and slowly lost their position in history.
Even so, some of the remaining dragon bloodlines were still very strong. The Golden Eyes ck Dragon King Di Tian was a very good example. He wasnt the Golden Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King, which were both avatars of the Dragon God, and he wasnt one of the Dragon Gods nine sons, either. However, he was still able to be the number one savage beast. It showed how powerful dragons were in the ancient era.
Right now, Elder Xuan had transformed into a creature with a goats body, a human face, and a tigers teeth and ws. He had taken the form of the Dragon Gods fifth son, the Taotie!
It wasnt going to be easy dealing with the Golden Eyes ck Dragon King, given that he had cultivation level greater than eight hundred-thousand-years. Elder Mu couldnt do it in the past, and it was even more impossible now.
Before Elder Mu had passed away, however, he had confirmed Elder Xuan as his sessor. In fact, there was once a debate in the Sea Gods Pavilion regarding this matter.
Yes, Elder Xuan was the strongest after Elder Mu. However, he was an alcoholic, and was slovenly. In terms of managing the academy, he couldntpare to Elder Song. As a result, many elders had once suggested that Elder Song should seed the position as the Master of the Sea Gods Pavilion, and take control of the Academy.
However, Elder Mu used one reason to overrule everyones opinion, and confirmed Elder Xuan as the Master of the Sea Gods Pavilion. This reason was the bloodline of Elder Xuans martial soul.
A hundred years ago, Elder Mu had lost to the Golden Eyes ck Dragon King, Di Tian. After that loss, he had thought it over carefully. Given that Di Tians abilities were even above an Ultimate Douluo, which ced him half a step into the realm of Gods, what was the best way to curb him?
His bloodline had already brought him to the peak of the food chain in the Douluo Continent. It was almost impossible to surpass him in terms of bloodline.
Di Tians abilities were of Ultimate Darkness. Even Huo Yuhaos Ultimate Ice couldnt curb him. A hundred years ago, Elder Mu hadnt expected to have a disciple in the future who possessed Ultimate Ice. Even if he knew, he wouldnt have been too hopeful. That was because Huo Yuhao had to cultivate until he became an Ultimate Douluo. Otherwise, there was no way that he could fight Di Tian.
From then on, Elder Mu had used all his efforts to nurture Elder Xuan. There was only one way to curb Di Tian: start from his bloodline!
No matter how strong Di Tians bloodline was, he was still a dragon. Among all dragons, those with bloodlines that were superior to him were the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, as well as the Dragon Gods nine sons!
Elder Xuans Godly Taotie Bull contained part of the bloodline of the Dragon Gods fifth son, the Taotie. It was just that this bloodline wasntplete. Although it was very strong, it was still inferior to Di Tians bloodline.
Elder Mu and Elder Xuan werent able to unleash a fusion skill. However, things became different as Elder Mus life approached its end, and he was left with only the power of his spirit, and part of his soul power.
Elder Mu could enter Elder Xuans body using his immense spiritual and soul power as an Ultimate Douluo and forcefully suppress the bull part of his martial soul. He now used all his strength to unleash the full potential of Elder Xuans Taotie bloodline, which led to the current scene.
To a certain extent, Elder Xuan was like a Taotie that had descended right now!
Even with Di Tians abilities, he was shocked when he saw the change that Elder Xuan went through.
He had lived in this world for several hundred thousand years. Although part of his eight hundred-thousand-year cultivation was achieved through various methods, it wasnt far-fetched to say that he was the oldest soul beast on the continent.
He had personally seen the Dragon Gods nine sons before, and naturally could recognize the look of the Taotie. He was stunned, and recalled how the dragons had ruled the entire Douluo Continent several hundred thousand years ago.
Uncle Taotie, is it really you? Di Tian trembled slightly, and he became agitated. When he saw this powerful figure from the past, he couldnt control his emotions even with his cultivation. However, he soon got over his initial shock.
No, youre not Uncle Taotie! Scoundrels, how dare the two of youmit such sphemy! Di Tian roared furiously, and his scales started to stand on end. Purple light filled his golden eyes, and the dark, gloomy clouds turned purple at this instant.
The entire sky seemed to be on the verge of copse, and the entire world seemed like it was going to be destroyed under his rage.
This was Di Tians true ability, a terrifying strength capable of destroying heaven and earth!
However, a streak of golden light at the east side of Shrek City rose straight into the sky and struck Elder Xuans body.
Golden light shone behind him and refracted outward, forming a gentle golden barrier that engulfed the entire Academy. No matter how much Di Tian raged, he couldnt reach a single inch past a five hundred meter region in the sky above Shrek City. Even the soul beast army that was charging towards Shrek Academy was deflected away by a gentle screen, and were unable to take even half a step forward through it.
This was strength that came from the Golden Tree. Under Elder Mus guidance, the soul of the Golden Tree was unleashed.
Some of the previous Masters of the Sea Gods Pavilion had chosen to fuse with the Golden Tree. Under the nourishment of their power, the Golden Tree protected the Sea Gods Pavilion, Shrek Academy, and even Shrek City.
Its power had umted for tens of thousands of years. Even though it could only be drawn upon within Shrek City, the Golden Tree was Shreks final protector, and its existence was something even Di Tians strength couldnt shake.
If Di Tian was one foot into the realm of Gods, then the Golden Tree was already half a God, given the immense soul power and energy that it contained. It was just that it didnt have any consciousness. Furthermore, it recovered at a much slower pace than humans and soul beasts after it was drained.
When the first beast wave arrived, the Golden Tree wasnt utilized because the Body Sect was there to reinforce Shrek Academy. However, Elder Mu couldnt be bothered with things like secrecy right now, given the situation they were in. Shrek City would be obliterated if Di Tianunched a direct attack against it.
The strength of the Golden Tree didnt just protect Shrek. At the same time, it also further unleashed the potential of Elder Xuans Taotie bloodline.
Elder Xuan and Elder Mus powers were finally fused into thest stage as the power of the Golden Tree poured into the Taoties body. Instantly, the Taoties body started to shine brightly with golden light. Di Tians powers caused the sky to copse, while the golden light helped to mend the sky.
Even under the terrifying suppression of that purplish-ck light, this golden light remained very resilient, and continued to spread outward. The Taoties body also slowly grew bigger
Di Tian seemed to sense something, and roared furiously. He shook his body forcefully, and his huge wings opened up. The light from the scales on his body dimmed slightly before expanding.
Suddenly, the sky was temporarily frozen. The parts of the sky that were about to copse earlier started to show fissures. From these fissures, dragon heads started to poke out. Every dragon head looked identical to Di Tian. They opened their mouths, and terrifying purplish-ck dragonmes spewed towards the Taotie.
This was an ultimate technique that Di Tian specialized in, Myriad Dragonmes! This attack was strong enough to annihte an entire city!
However, Elder Mu had already started preparing to deal with Di Tians abilities a hundred years ago. How could Di Tian seed so easily?
The Taotie had already grownrger than Di Tian. He slowly lifted his head and opened his mouth before unleashing a furious, earth-shaking roar!
As one of the Dragons God nine sons, the Taoties bloodline was naturally closer to the Dragon God than Di Tian. His mighty roar didnt just stop all the dragon heads that were spewing dragonmes. At the same time, all the soul beasts with dragon bloodlines were crawling on the ground, shuddering, and didnt dare disobey him!
A ball of intense golden light was released from the Taoties mouth, but it wasnt unleashed towards Di Tian. It rapidly grew in the air and transformed into a huge head that was more than a thousand meters in diameter. It was a head identical to the Taoties own!
As it opened its golden mouth, it sucked in Di Tians Myriad Dragonmes.
All the dragonmes were sucked into its mouth. The terrifying force even seemed to suck the dragon heads out of the cracks in the sky.
Di Tian was shocked, and quickly beat his wings, turning around and sweeping his tail out. It was whipped towards the side of that golden projection with a terrifying aura.
However, he still underestimated the strength of the Taotie jointly formed by Elder Xuan, Elder Mi, and the Golden Tree.
The Taotie was currently around as strong as Di Tian, but his bloodline was purer.
Elder Mu had tapped into the pure strength in the Golden Tree, along with his own soul power, to unleash the strength of the Taotie. This Taotie was close to being half a God, and it might even be stronger than the real Taotie was back then.
The Taotie was adept at devouring things. He loved delicacies, which was the reason why his abilities were linked to devouring things. No ones digestive abilities couldpare to him.
After Di Tians Myriad Dragonmes were devoured, they were quickly transformed into purplish-ck whirlpools, and clearly vanished within the golden light.
