It is more similar to the real Azure Dragon, and its enhanced abilities include not only its power but also its resistance to demonic energy.
Qi Yan stayed in the Misty Abyss for so long that almost all of his abilities were affected by demonic energy.
The stone statues of the five divine beasts were affected by demonic energy in just a few days, so this azure dragon in front of us would probably take at least several years.
With such formidable strength, they simply couldn't hold out for that long.
Shen Sanruo silently stroked the feather fan in her hand, constantly pondering how to break the deadlock.
And they tried to contact Qiyan.
After the Qilin statue was destroyed, the energy contained within it was released, and the range of her connection with Qiyan expanded.
However, it is not stable, and it is difficult to contact him outside the area where the Qilin is enshrined.
You need to concentrate and keep trying.
Although Qi Yan had been staying in the Misty Abyss and had not been in contact with the other five divine beasts, he was now their only contact and their only source of information.
Some things can be known through the bonds between people without needing to experience them firsthand.
However, Qinglong seemed unwilling to give her this opportunity. While she was trying to contact Qiyan, Qinglong suddenly launched an attack on them, breaking the balance between the two sides.
"Who dares to trespass here?! I guard this place; any trespasser will be killed without mercy!"
A deep, divine voice rang out, and Qinglong emphasized the last few words.
As it finished speaking, an overwhelming attack came crashing down on everyone, making it hard to breathe just by watching.
The Azure Dragon possesses all the elemental attacks of those stone statues, but its power is many times greater than that of the stone statues in front of it.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they hurriedly dealt with the attacks.
A single piece of ice or snow could bury them, and a single blade of wind could tear them apart.
Under such intense attacks, there was absolutely no chance to catch their breath.
Within a few breaths, they were all covered in bruises, and the pain from their wounds was excruciating.
A complete and utter crushing defeat. In front of the Azure Dragon, any defense they offered was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly powerless.
"Is this really not a real Azure Dragon? Such power is terrifying."
"At this rate, we probably won't even last a day."
"Those evil cultivators are too insidious! Every move they make is more vicious than the last!"
At first they were able to say a few words, but soon the relentless attacks overwhelmed them, leaving them no time to even speak.
Everyone can only focus all their energy on dealing with those attacks.
Their bodies were covered in countless wounds, staining their robes red, but they didn't even have a chance to treat them.
If you lose focus, you'll end up with even more serious wounds.
"I have warned you once, yet you remain unrepentant. Anyone who attempts to disrupt cultivation deserves to die!" The Azure Dragon exhaled a breath of dragon breath at them. "Especially you!"
These words caused a flicker of doubt to cross Shen Sangruo's eyes.
"What do you mean by destroying the cultivation world? We are clearly saving the cultivation world! You're turning against the Heavenly Gang!" Fang Yu shouted.
The next moment, he was unable to dodge in time, and a gash was cut on his arm that went almost all the way down.
Blood gushed out instantly, and the intense pain caused his mind to go blank for a moment, his fingertips trembling.
But the next attack came immediately, heading straight for Fang Yu, who was unable to react due to the pain.
"Fang Yu!"
Ye Huai, who was closest to him, suddenly threw out the Shadow Sword in his hand, shattering the ice spike that was attacking Fang Yu.
However, Ye Huai was distracted by this, and since he didn't have his natal sword, he was hit by the oncoming attack and groaned in pain from the chest.
Ignoring his own condition, he continued to call out to Fang Yu, "Fang Yu, how are you? Can you hold on?"
Fang Yu also came to her senses at this moment, and forced a smile, saying, "I can still do it. Fortunately, that Azure Dragon doesn't have bad breath."
But the hand in his hand hung limply at his side, unable to move an inch.
"It won't have much of an impact. Luckily, I don't need to use any magical artifacts, or I would be in serious trouble." He took a deep breath, his gaze already fixed on the other attacks coming toward him.
The next second, he activated his charm technique and immediately entered the state of meditation.
As time passed, everyone's spiritual energy was gradually depleted, their injuries became more and more severe, and they struggled to cope with the situation.
They had previously said they wouldn't last a day, but now it seems they might not even last half a day.
Shen Sangruo's robes were also stained red in many places. She pursed her lips, knowing that it was impossible to delay until the demonic energy affected the Azure Dragon.
We can't contact Qiyan either, so the only option now is to try and kill the Azure Dragon.
Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.
Because of what Qinglong said just now.
What she found incongruous was that this azure dragon, as a product of evil cultivation, was righteous and aloof, claiming to be a guardian of the cultivation world.
The reason given for attacking them was that they wanted to destroy the cultivation world.
Is this truly a product of heretical cultivation?
Aside from attacking them and preventing them from destroying the array's core, which doesn't seem like the actions of a true Azure Dragon, it truly does resemble the actions of a real Azure Dragon.
They also said they had warned them once, but this was their first time stepping into the place.
Could it be that someone tried to destroy this array's core in the past, thus angering the Azure Dragon?
She quickly dismissed the idea, certain that they were the first to enter this place.
Her intuition told her that what Qinglong said was very important and might contain extremely crucial information.
But she had no clue what to do and no time to think. She wanted to try attacking the Azure Dragon to test its defensive strength.
Although she already had a vague idea of the answer in her heart—that the Azure Dragon was more powerful than the stone statues and therefore had stronger defenses—she still had to try and not give up any chance to fight for a chance of survival.
The things I want to do are transmitted to the minds of several contracted beasts through a soul connection.
The Kui Niu, the dodder flower fairy, and the snake woman immediately cooperated with her, breaking through the encirclement of attackers and arriving at her side.
A protective circle formed around her, and she took the opportunity to quickly draw her bow and arrow.
While the Azure Dragon was attacking others, he fired two arrows at the Azure Dragon in quick succession.
Because they had been on the defensive, Qinglong seemed not to have expected her to launch a sudden attack.
One arrow was swatted away by the Azure Dragon with a claw, but another arrow broke through its defenses, easily piercing its scales and embedding itself directly into the Azure Dragon's flesh!
"Hiss!" Everyone clearly heard Qinglong gasp.
Bright red blood immediately gushed out, leaving a bloody hole after the arrow disappeared.
Blood flowed from it, dripping onto the ground and adding to the stench of blood in the air.
