The information in the entire Sutra Library can be roughly divided into three categories:

One is historical data, which records the intention of the dragon clan to build the Dongji Palace, which was to monitor the Dongji Tianzhu.

The second is the test, which records a series of observation data of the Dragon Clan on the Dongji Tianzhu.

The Eastern Pillar is believed not to exist in this space, but to exist on the back of the main world, "supporting the belly and back" to hold up the sky of the main world.

But this kind of support is not foolproof, because the demons from outside the domain will continue to bombard the sky without interruption, and there is no one to maintain the pillar.

As one thing grows stronger while the other shrinks, one day the sky will collapse and the earth will break apart again.

The ancient dragons studied the Heavenly Pillar for thousands of years, and finally came to the conclusion that:

I don't understand.

The structural principles of the Heavenly Pillar are close to the origin of the world and the essence of the Tao. Almost all attempts to study the Heavenly Pillar have failed.

The third is essays, which record the dragon clan’s pessimism and despair about the “eventual destruction of the world”, thus giving birth to a series of “dragon clan-specific scar literature”.

According to various diaries, essays and narrative poems, it can be discovered that in the later period, the insane dragon monks stationed in the Dongji Palace planned to transform the Dongji Palace into a second "Guixu".

In Guixu, time will be stretched as much as possible.

For the dragon monks, it is equivalent to delaying the end of the world that will eventually come in the outside world as much as possible.

This way, you can gain more preparation time.

However, the war between humans and demons in the outside world is coming to an end. The dragon clan has planned to withdraw from the Donghuang Demon Realm and has issued a retreat order to the cultivators in the Dongji Palace.

The dragon monks of Dongji Palace refused to evacuate, and decided to use some forbidden techniques within their tribe to fight the invading human monks to the end.

…

After reading these files, both of them felt a little weird.

So these ancient dragon monks were trying to save the world, but were destroyed by the ancient human race?

"Records involving the human race cannot be fully trusted." Luo Yan said solemnly, "Because the two races are hostile to each other, these dragon cultivators will definitely avoid the important issues, whitewash their own intentions, and slander our ancestors."

"Yeah, that's true." Shi Liuli nodded, but felt secretly uneasy.

So, what exactly is this coming doomsday?

Now...how much time is left?

After packing up these dragon historical materials, the two of them searched the palace one last time, but found nothing, so they planned to leave and go back.

Looking out from the window of the corridor, one could see the gigantic ghost dragon hovering above the palace, its sinister gaze constantly scanning downwards.

According to the records of the dragon clan, this monster is called "Rotten Bones and Rotten Souls". It is a strange monster created after a part of the dragon clan was sacrificed alive. Its characteristics are immortality and recovery ability.

Unless one uses extremely powerful magic to smash it into powder in an instant, even if only a small piece is left, it will re-condense into the outline of a monster - the price is that the dragon souls that make up the monster will not be able to reincarnate, but will be trapped in the dragon bones forever.

Previously, Luo Yan had used the Five Thunders Method and the Extinction Divine Light to directly blow up the ghost dragon's head, but the dragon seemed to be uninjured at all. It continued to chase the two of them all the way to the palace, and kept banging on the palace gate, looking extremely ferocious.

From here to the place where the two fell, it is about 1,700 meters... Luo Yan made a rough estimate and knew that it would only take a few seconds to fly the sword across this distance.

The problem is that once the two of them leave the palace and rush halfway, there is a high probability that they will be immobilized by the ghost dragon's strange spell and their minds will be disturbed.

Even with A Jing's help in removing the curse, his escape speed would be interrupted and he would have to fight against the ghost dragon.

If this ghost dragon has learned from previous lessons and devised some tricks to counter my methods, then the risk would be enormous.

Luo Yan stared at the ghost dragon outside, then turned to look at Miss Shi, and gradually a plan came into his mind.

"What are you looking at me for?" Miss Shi asked curiously.

"Senior sister, do you see it?" Luo Yan pointed to the distance to Shi Liuli, "That's where we fell from above, and it's also the starting point for us to return along the same route."

"You mean..." Shi Liuli thought for a moment and asked, "When it's not paying attention, rush over in one breath?"

"That's right." Luo Yan said with a smile.

"I always feel like there's something fishy going on." Shi Liuli suddenly had a premonition, thinking, could it be that my junior brother would trick me into going over there to lure away the ghost dragon and take the opportunity to slip away?

Then she glared and said fiercely:

"You go first, I'll follow you!"

Luo Yan pretended to be embarrassed, and said after a while:

"Okay, but you have to follow me closely, Senior Sister."

"Of course!" Shi Liuli patted his chest, "I'll cover you!"

If I really want you to cover my retreat, I might as well hope that Guilong would commit suicide... Luo Yan silently complained for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Then let's go!"

The two of them walked to the open palace gate, and Luo Yan naturally reached out and held Shi Liuli's small hand in his palm.

Miss Shi subconsciously wanted to struggle, but then she thought that they were going to run away together, and holding hands was just to prevent separation! So she suppressed the slight shyness in her heart and let Luo Yan hold her like this.

Taking advantage of the moment when Gui Long turned his head, Luo Yan suddenly activated the Taohua Sword, pulled Shi Liuli and turned into a sword light and quickly escaped!

Before he had gotten far, he felt like he was hit on the head by a heavy hammer and almost passed out on the spot.

Luo Yan quickly regained his senses, and saw from the corner of his eye that Miss Shi had rolled her eyes. He immediately swung his sleeves and shot out the acquired Five Elements Great Extinction Divine Light.

However, the ghost dragon took the blow of the Five Elements Divine Light head-on, then turned around and lashed out with its dragon tail like a long whip, hitting Luo Yan with lightning speed.

He only had time to drag Miss Shi behind him, and the Taohua Sword was hit just as it was blocking in front of him. The two of them were immediately knocked away by the huge force.

The broken pieces of the flying sword embedded in his body. Luo Yan felt a sweetness in his throat and it seemed as if all his internal organs were shattered.

He endured the severe pain, pulled out the Qingping Sword in the air, quickly stabilized his flying body, first threw a Yushu Thunder at the ghost dragon, then immediately turned around and flew rapidly upwards on the sword.

The exit is just around the corner!

When he reached the exit, Luo Yan took a closer look and almost vomited blood.

I saw that the gap where the two people fell had already been sealed by Guilong with more rubble.

The other party really had a trump card!

He caught a glimpse of the bloodied Ghost Dragon, howling at him like an evil ghost. Luo Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth, take out the Tianji Divine Shuttle to cover the two of them, and gather his true energy. He assumed a posture ready to fight to the death, and shouted in his heart:

"Ajing! Teleport!"

The Kunlun Mirror immediately activated the time-space teleportation, moving away the rubble that was blocking the road above, revealing a narrow gap.

The divine shuttle turned into a stream of light and suddenly shot into the gap and disappeared.

The ghost dragon's broken head hit the rock wall. After a deafening roar, the underground cave began to collapse again.
