With a deafening roar, the demonic dragon burst forth from the underground river, unleashing a mushroom cloud of explosive current that destroyed the northeast corner of Prince Rong's mansion.
Gravel, wood chips, sand, and water cascaded down, engulfing a large number of assassins searching for the demonic dragon.
The demonic dragon shot straight into the sky, prompting Zheng Ya to step down and dive into the underground river to investigate.
Because he hid in the void, leaving no trace, he sought out the formation that imprisoned the demon dragon to study and comprehend. With the acceleration of his time-manipulation ability, he mastered it in an instant and, in turn, imprisoned the demon dragon, only to discover a new continent.
With a "whoosh," a figure stealthily moved along the underground river, disappearing into the northeast direction.
This is the culprit who released the demonic dragon, not the assassin who successfully released it. Zheng Ya suddenly realized who this person was.
Intervening in the pursuit of the enemy would inevitably waste time, causing the demonic dragon to wreak havoc on the people. Zheng Ya merely imprinted the water and wood spiritual roots of the escapee and their rotten aura, and then fully activated his perception to replicate the formation that imprisoned the demonic dragon.
The underground river uses special magic-resistant stone materials, combined with crystal arrays, to form a Five Elements and Eight Trigrams magic-resistant array.
The grand formation was also shattered by the emergence of the demonic dragon.
However, the array plate was hidden deep underground in the river and was well preserved, becoming a sample for Zheng Ya to comprehend. Zheng Ya directly consumed spiritual energy and combined it with his time-based ability to accelerate his comprehension.
With his spiritual energy depleted, Zheng Ya had only managed to comprehend half of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array. He needed to work on it again.
With his spiritual energy of 20,000 and 100,000 completely depleted, Zheng Ya only spent three seconds experiencing over a hundred years through the acceleration of his time-manipulation ability before finally comprehending the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array.
However, even with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array and the array plate alone, it was impossible to suppress the demonic dragon that had been born and was causing havoc on the human world.
As for the idea of a hidden demonic dragon entering the formation and then suppressing it, that's clearly unrealistic.
At this moment, the demonic dragon was enraged, seemingly having been given a magic potion, as the underground river still retained the pungent smell of the potion.
Stimulated by the magic potion, the dragon lost its mind, becoming like a demon that hated the world. Its crimson dragon eyes, like lanterns, emitted a ferocious and murderous light, freezing people instantly and killing them wherever it swept across.
The monstrous dragon coiled in the air, its gaze alone killing thousands of people.
In just three seconds, thousands of people were killed or injured.
Terrifyingly powerful, Zheng Ya sensed everything and immediately used his spiritual energy to analyze the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array to determine under what conditions it could suppress the demonic dragon.
With ten thousand, thirty thousand, eighty thousand souls, almost exhausting Zheng Ya's accumulated spiritual energy, he finally devised a plan: the Heavenly Forbidden Contract.
The so-called Heavenly Forbidden Contract is essentially a soul contract signed with a pet beast.
The difference lies in the word "Heavenly Forbidden," which implies the constraints of the rules of Heaven and possesses the absolute power of enslavement.
Simply put, it means controlling the soul of a pet beast; its life or death is entirely controlled by the master's will, hence the term "Heavenly Forbiddenness."
What's gratifying is that it directly became Zheng Ya's planning supernatural ability.
It is powerful, but it also has limitations. It can only be used to form a one-on-one absolute enslavement contract with one pet beast.
But then another problem arose: Zheng Ya's strength was far from enough to get close to the demon dragon. It was simply unrealistic for him to touch the demon dragon's head for three seconds to activate the Heavenly Forbidden Contract and enslave the demon dragon.
The demonic dragon's neck was over 1.2 meters in diameter, and its body was 17 or 18 meters long. It was a four-clawed azure dragon that controlled water and ice magic. Wherever it passed, the air froze, and hail fell from the sky. When it fell on Kyoto, it killed or injured tens of thousands of people, and froze to death or frostbite.
The "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound at first glance resembles a scene of thousands of arrows flying in all directions, terrifyingly triggering a mass exodus of Kyoto residents.
The surging crowd clashed with the legion's rescue team, causing numerous casualties.
This is all the evil consequence of the Emperor Emeritus's cold-blooded ruthlessness.
Zheng Ya had no time to think about anything else. He transformed into a white-haired, white-bearded immortal master in a white robe, and strolled through the void, shouting to build momentum: "The demonic dragon has wreaked havoc on the world. I have arrived late to the rescue. Evil dragon, do not submit..."
"Roar!" The demonic dragon, moved by his words, flashed to his side, slapped his head, and with a shake of its head, sent Zheng Ya flying.
Zheng Ya used his spatial teleportation ability to teleport to the top of the demon dragon's head and touch it, attempting to activate the Heavenly Forbidden Contract. However, he was blasted away by the demon dragon before he could even begin. This won't work.
However, Zheng Ya also lured the demonic dragon to fight in the high sky to prevent it from harming the people.
This made the retired emperor and others eagerly anticipate the event, and the people also stopped their fleeing and looked up to watch, only to see clusters of ice crystal fireworks exploding in the sky.
The magical ice crystals exploded high in the sky, shining with an icy blue brilliance.
The snowy night at four in the morning suddenly turned icy blue and shimmering.
Wu Wei also stopped rescuing Prince Rong's Mansion and stopping the assassins from releasing the demonic dragon. Looking up at the sky from the balcony, she made a phone call: "Zheng Ya, you still couldn't help but fall for the Emperor Emeritus's trick. Be careful he sends someone to ambush you!"
Furthermore, you don't have the strength to suppress the demonic dragon at all. Instead of luring the demonic dragon out of the capital, you tease it and play around in the sky. Are you just showing off and accumulating your fortune?
Be careful not to overdo it, or you might get tricked and killed by the Emperor Emeritus's men...
"Oh, so this dignified young lady, Princess Wuwei, can care about people too?" Zheng Ya was distracted, teasing the demon dragon to set off fireworks in the sky while not forgetting to mock people.
In fact, Zheng Ya disdained to do it.
Teasing the demonic dragon and showing off will trigger the emergence of spiritual energy among the people, which will enable Zheng Ya to increase his endurance. There is no other choice.
After all, Zheng Ya had exhausted all the spiritual energy he had accumulated in his supernatural small world in order to comprehend the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array and to deduce the method to imprison the demon dragon.
Without psionic energy to sustain him, Zheng Ya is nothing but a paper tiger.
With the limited abilities within Zheng Ya, it was far too weak to even begin to contend with the demonic dragon. This led Zheng Ya to hesitate to lure the demonic dragon out of the capital. Only by teasing the demonic dragon and enticing the people to contribute their spiritual energy could he have a chance to protect himself.
Wu Wei, unaware of the inside story, immediately broke down in her defenses: "Zheng Ya, you bastard."
You came from a poor background and can't stand that I was born into a position you could never achieve in your entire life. That's because you didn't bribe the King of Hell before you were reincarnated. What kind of petty hatred is that, you hate me...
"Tch, are you trying to test my petty temper?" Zheng Ya laughed in anger. In his daze, he was almost hit by the demonic dragon. He escaped the danger by teleporting into the air and then got angry. Should he expose Wu Wei's arrogant nature and make her lose the opportunity to compete for resources?
At this moment, the Emperor Emeritus was transmitting his voice to Venerable Tianyuan: "Venerable, with your discerning eye, how much strength can you discern in the Immortal Master?"
"Your Majesty, this immortal master has displayed the ability to escape into the air and has been fighting the demonic dragon at all times. He has never shown any means to suppress the demonic dragon."
"I don't know if he's using this to inspire popular worship and demonstrate the supreme authority of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect, or if he's just all show and no substance, simply incapable of suppressing the demonic dragon." Master Tianyuan suspected that Zheng Ya merely possessed a spatial spiritual root and mastered one or two spatial spells, and that his actual strength was not great.
The retired emperor transmitted his thoughts thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, could he be feigning weakness to imply that I am sending someone to launch a surprise attack, and then seize the opportunity to retaliate, while also exposing my ugly schemes against the people, and thus overthrowing the imperial power in accordance with the will of the people?"
"Your Majesty, that's a possibility, it's all up to Your Majesty to decide." Master Tianyuan was unsure for the moment and gave a perfunctory answer.
Anyway, the person who sent the raid on Zheng Ya wouldn't be Master Tianyuan, so who lives and who dies in the end is none of Master Tianyuan's business.
The retired emperor hesitated, wondering how many people were in the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect in total...
