Chapter 62: Turning and Running
As Su Muluo was deeply immersed in memories, he felt a force controlling him, forcefully prying open the memories he had previously sealed… The events of thousands of years ago surged back, causing him to tremble all over from the pain as if his brain was about to explode, compelled to accept the suddenly flooding memories.
However, when a gentle female voice from the memories echoed in his ear, it was as if the power of Heavenly Law was instantly blocked out. All the memories receded, and his mind became clear once more. Su Muluo abruptly opened his eyes.
Heavenly Law had forcibly unsealed all the seals he had placed on himself thousands of years ago—except for the last one.
That last seal was like an indestructible lock, even blocking the power of Heavenly Law.
Returning to reality, Su Muluo found himself protected by a barrier, while his dragon was still engaged in a battle with a golden dragon.
The golden dragon was Fu Sha, the dragon clan leader from thousands of years ago. Su Muluo didn’t know how he had escaped the thunderstorm of that time, but he saw his demonic power surge several times over, majestic and unstoppable. In contrast, the black dragon was wrapped in black mist and was clearly at a disadvantage.
Seeing the black mist continuously emanating from the black dragon, Su Muluo’s heart skipped a beat.
The state of his dragon… was not right.
On the other side, the golden dragon seized the moment and suddenly clawed at the black dragon’s reverse scale beneath its neck. At that moment, a clear and melodious phoenix cry rang out. White feathers cut through the sky, and with the force of thunder, they instantly severed the golden dragon’s claws!
The golden dragon roared in pain and quickly retreated. But soon, its severed claws grew back.
It transformed back into its human form, looking at Su Muluo in the sky with a surprised expression on its face.
“You actually withstood that kind of power,” Fu Sha frowned and said, “It’s a pity I couldn’t deal with you.”
He knew Su Muluo had many seals on him, and unsealing them would restore some of his power and memories. However, unsealing was also when Su Muluo was at his weakest. If one took advantage of that time, they might be able to kill this phoenix and seize its Nirvana power.
Thinking of this, Fu Sha’s eyes showed a hint of unwillingness.
Heavenly Law couldn’t interfere too much with the world, so the help it could provide was limited. The earlier moment had been his best chance to eliminate Su Muluo, but it was thwarted by the black dragon. Just as he was about to use the power of Heavenly Law to deal with the black dragon, Su Muluo came to its rescue!
It had been like this thousands of years ago, and it was still like this now. As long as these two were together, they would ruin his plans!
While Fu Sha was angry, Su Muluo ignored him and looked at the black dragon beside him.
For some reason, the black dragon had not returned to its original form, and the black mist had not dissipated. Seeing the phoenix’s gaze, it lowered its head and gently nuzzled against him.
Its dark golden eyes held a tender smile, probably trying to reassure its phoenix that it was fine.
Su Muluo felt slightly relieved and then looked at Fu Sha, asking, “How did you survive back then?”
Mentioning this, Fu Sha’s lips curved into a cold, self-satisfied smile.
“It’s simple; I owe it all to this black dragon,” he said. “The power contained in its dragon bones was too strong, so I borrowed that power and, when my clan was completely unprepared… I killed them.”
Su Muluo and the black dragon’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. Fu Sha, on the other hand, seemed pleased with their reaction and continued nonchalantly, “After all, they were going to die under the heavenly thunder anyway. I might as well act first and spare them some suffering.”
“…” Su Muluo’s gaze turned icy, his tone laced with frost, “You are not fit to be their clan leader.”
“Fit or not, I am the strongest in the dragon clan. If I don’t become the clan leader, who else could?” Fu Sha replied. “And clearly, Heavenly Law also approves of this method. So, when the heavenly thunder struck, and I stood amidst the bones of my clan, the thunder didn’t strike me… Hahaha!”
Afterward, Fu Sha survived. But soon, he discovered an inerasable miasma on him, which seemed to be the resentment and hatred of his clan, tormenting him relentlessly. To remove this miasma, he had to sleep for thousands of years—until several decades ago, when the miasma finally dissipated, and he finally woke up.
However, he didn’t see it as his retribution. Compared to surviving, what was a few thousand years of sleep?
“By the way, Phoenix, do you know about the records among the human cultivators that dragons and phoenixes are irreconcilable enemies?” Fu Sha said. “That was also my doing.”
“After I found that you and that black dragon had disappeared, I went to the human realm and destroyed all the pavilions and temples built for your phoenix clan. So, from that time on, they believed that dragons and phoenixes were incompatible. Hahahaha!”
Su Muluo: “…”
If Su Muluo had thought that Fu Sha was insane for killing his own kin, hearing this second half of the sentence made him wonder if this person was mentally unstable.
“Do as you wish,” Su Muluo said, “but our matter must be settled today.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a phoenix, pure white and indescribably beautiful, appeared in the sky.
This phoenix had feathers as long and exquisite as jade carvings, with its magnificent tail feathers adorned with tiny golden sparks. Its eyes were as clear and transparent as the most precious rubies, and its entire body was enveloped in a stunningly beautiful pale white glow—a beauty so breathtaking that even the heavens would bow to it.
The Black Dragon’s gaze froze. Not just him, but even Fu Sha’s expression stiffened. However, when the phoenix, accompanied by thunder and storm, charged toward him, he quickly reacted and transformed into a golden dragon to counter it.
The battle in the sky did not affect the people below who were still fighting the demons, because Su Muluo and Long Ling had intentionally set up a barrier to prevent them from seeing the scene above or being affected by the aftermath of their battle.
But soon, a sudden change occurred. The people and demons fighting below felt the earth shaking continuously. The deep mountains within a hundred miles seemed to be struck by a giant, groaning under the immense pressure.
Fan Huai steadied his swaying body and strained to look up—there was a huge barrier in the sky, but now, that barrier was covered with fine cracks and was splitting apart at an alarming speed.
Fan Huai’s heart sank. Could it be that Mr. Su was struggling against that golden dragon?!
Where was Lord Long Ling?
As Fan Huai was deeply worried, Su Muluo, inside the barrier, had transformed back into his human form, his face full of astonishment.
The reason the barrier was shaking was not because they were at a disadvantage against Fu Sha, as Fan Huai thought, but because his dragon’s demonic power had suddenly surged, directly defeating Fu Sha.
The Black Dragon emitted a menacing black flame, pinning the golden dragon beneath its claws. The raging black flames spread uncontrollably, and at that moment, its eyes turned from dark gold to blood red, the color of blood.
The fierce black flames nearly consumed the entire sky. Su Muluo’s pupils constricted, and a terrible premonition surged in his heart. He said, “Long Ling—!”
Before he could finish, the Black Dragon lowered its head and bit down on the golden dragon’s neck!
The golden dragon roared in agony, its entire body writhing in an attempt to break free from the Black Dragon’s grasp, but it was pierced through the abdomen by the Black Dragon’s claws, pinned firmly against the stone wall.
Blood splattered everywhere, and large chunks of scales fell off. The golden dragon’s cries were increasingly heart-wrenching, and its only movable tail thrashed violently, shattering rocks and causing the ground to collapse… but it was all in vain.
The golden dragon was torn apart by the Black Dragon, its neck bitten off, and after enduring a prolonged period of mournful screams… it died.
Su Muluo watched all this unfold, his heart sinking further.
He had no intention of stopping Long Ling, because Fu Sha had once taken Long Ling’s spine, nearly killing him, and had killed all his kin—this golden dragon had brought its fate upon itself.
However, Long Ling’s state was deeply unsettling, especially those blood-red eyes and the overwhelming aura of killing intent—just like when he had gone mad thousands of years ago.
At this moment, still in his dragon form, Long Ling dealt with the golden dragon, letting out a sigh as blood dripped from his chin, staining his pitch-black scales.
His blood-red eyes were cold as he turned directly toward Su Muluo, fixing a relentless gaze on him.
Su Muluo looked into the eyes of his dragon without fear. He gently extended his hand and said, “Long Ling, come here.”
He remembered that Long Ling had shown similar signs of madness some time ago, but his dragon had managed to temporarily alleviate the madness by sealing away memories… So why was he falling into madness again now?
Was it because of the battle with the golden dragon? The golden dragon had heavenly power, which might have harmed his dragon?
Su Muluo was filled with worry but maintained a gentle expression as he said, “Can you come back to me?”
Though he had regained some memories, he still couldn’t recall the most crucial part. He only remembered that when Long Ling went mad thousands of years ago, he didn’t attack him. At that time, Su Muluo had confined himself with Long Ling to protect his dragon.
Now, he intended to do the same—at least calm his dragon down first… then break the final seal.
No matter what, he had to protect his dragon.
With his resolve firm, Su Muluo watched as the Black Dragon, after staring at him for a moment from a distance, suddenly flicked its tail—
And ran away.
Su Muluo: “…”
Su Muluo: “???”
