Envying the traitors?
When the Nine-winged Skydragon heard what Old Kui Ox said, he could not help but glance at Ling Jiu with a chuckle.
“Old Kui Ox, I remember you were a person with a spine and would never surrender to humans. Why do you envy the traitors today?”
“That was because humans didn’t treat us oxen kindly back then,” Old Kui Ox sneered. “Humans used us as draft animals, treating us worse than pigs and dogs. We Oxen of course would not surrender.”
“But things are different now.” Old Kui Ox sighed. “I couldn’t care less about others anymore after being held up in the Demon-sealing Tower for 5,000 years. I just want to get out of this damn place now, even if it would shorten my lifespan.”
“I feel you.” The Nine-winged Skydragon nodded. “Old Ox, there is an opportunity in front of you now. You will get to leave if you can seize this opportunity.”
“What do you mean?” Old Kui Ox frowned.
“Let me introduce.” The Nine-winged Skydragon went straight to the point and introduced Ling Jiu to him. “As long as you surrender to the master, he can take you out.”
“Can he take us out?” Old Kui Ox stared at Ling Jiu suspiciously. “Dead Snake, are you sure he can take us out? Have you surrendered to this human?”
“Absolutely.” As embarrassing as it was, the Nine-winged Skydragon admitted it with a nod.
It trusted that Old Kui Ox would understand and not laugh at it.
“Alas, the all-powerful Nine-winged Skydragon, peerless demon emperor who ruled the Serpents, Pythons, and Scaly dragons back then, has surrendered to humans.”
Old Kui Ox let out a soft sigh. “Life is unforgiving. The days of confinement in the Demon-sealing Tower have consumed all dignity, self-esteem, and ambition.”
The Nine-wings Skydragon could say nothing to refute it.
“Show me evidence and then I will surrender.” Old Kui Ox stopped running against the Nine-winged Skydragon and turned to look at Ling Jiu. “If you can show me that you can get out of here at will, I will surrender immediately.”
“That’s easy-peasy.” Ling Jiu let out a smile. “You two have not been breathing any fresh air for a long time, I suppose? Let me take you somewhere if you don’t mind.”
As soon as his voice trailed off, Ling Jiu brought the Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui Ox into his Floating Island with the wave of his hand.
Swish!
The three of them appeared above the Floating Island. Tens of millions of square kilometers, seemingly endless land mass appeared in front of their eyes.
In the center of this land was a vast forest.
Clouds and mists engulfed the forest where rivers flowed. It was a land of the immortal.
“This is…”
The Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui Ox were wide-eyed.
“I have fully comprehended the Law of Dimensions. So I created a dimension in my body. This is my Inner World.” Ling Jiu sounded a little dubious. “I then planted some plants that produce immortal air in the Inner World. That is this forest. These immortal trees continuously produce immortal air for me. You can feel it here. Isn’t it rich?”
He was talking about the super arcana trees, of course. By calling them immortal trees, the Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui Ox could understand it more easily.
“Immortal air?”
The Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui O’s hearts skipped a beat. They knew that Ling Jiu was telling the truth as they could feel for themselves the rich concentration of the immortal air.
“What a rich immortal air!”
“As good as the Penglai Islands, eh?”
“More than that. The immortal air on the Penglai Islands is no way near this level.”
It astonished the Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui Ox. They greedily breathed in the rich dark bio-energy, intoxicated by it.
Ling Jiu couldn’t help a chuckle when he saw their expressions. He knew they were hooked. “You two have seen it for yourselves. But the immortal trees have not covered the entire island yet. By the time they covered the entire continent, the level of immortal air would astonish you.”
“Absolutely.”
The Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui ox nodded rigorously. The immortal tree forest only formed one- ten thousandth of the continent’s land mass.
How high the concentration level of immortal air would become when the entire island was planted with these immortal trees, when less than one-tenth of a thousandth of the land could already produce such a level of immortal air?
“Will you surrender now, Hui Ox?” Ling Jiu asked.
“I will. I surrender.” Old Kui Ox had no objection anymore.
It knew that with such a level of attainment in the Law of Dimensions, this human in front of him could leave the Demon-sealing Tower at will.
“Good.”
After convincing Old Kui Ox, Ling Jiu was in a good mood. Led by the two demon emperors, he came to the third demon emperor: the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon.
The Ice Horned Demonic Dragon was covered in a thick layer of ice armor that was indestructible. It had a horn on its head.
Its body was white, as if it was made of ice.
Unlike the Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui Ox, the Ice Armor Horned Demonic Dragon was excited about leaving the Demon-sealing Tower. But it went ape when it learned that it had to surrender.
“Lowly human! How dare you ask me to surrender! You have a death wish! I will capture you and compel you to bring me out of here!”
While its roar was still echoing in the void, the Ice Armor Horned Demonic Dragon had started its attack.
The Nine-winged Skydragon and Old Kui Ox wanted to stop it, but Ling Jiu beckoned them not to intervene.
“Step back.”
Ling Jiu would not take this lying down, of course. He had also launched his counterattack.
Pow!
The two sides clashed.
The Ice Armor Horned Demonic Dragon was brutal and got the upper hand.
But as time went on, Ling Jiu was getting better and matching up to his opponent. Besides, he showed no sign of slowing down at all. He gradually gained the upper hand and started to put the Ice Armor Horned demonic Dragon on the defensive.
This started to frighten the Ice Armor Horned Demonic Dragon. Ling Jiu could not match it in terms of brute force strength, but he seemed to have limitless energy, his physical strength rising after each clash.
There seemed to be no limit to his strength.
“Eat this!”
Ling Jiu roared, his hair standing on end. A dazzling golden light burst out of his body, exuding a powerful aura like a Super Saiyan.
Bomp!
Ling Jiu hit the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon’s jaw with a devastating punch after teleporting in front of it.
Crack!
The ice crystal on the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon’s chin instantly shattered, leaving a bloody hole behind. The next moment, Ling Jiu appeared above the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon’s head.
Crack!
Another blow left a hole in the head of the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon’s head
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Ling Jiu moved like a ghost, appearing around the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon, attacking it with his missile-like fist.
A series of bombardments had left countless holes in the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon’s body, blood oozing out of its wounds profusely.
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
The Ice Horned Demonic Dragon roared angrily. But apparently, that did not help.
It could still hold its own when Ling Jiu did not perform Blink Arcana. But when he did, it did not even stand a chance.
Its defeat was apparent.
While Ling Jiu was very much alive, the Ice Horned Demonic Dragon suffered injuries all over its body, completely exhausted.
“You have one last chance, Ice Horned Demonic Dragon: surrender or die.” Ling Jiu said coldly. This was really the last chance.
“I surrender.”
