I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 408 - 71: Let’s See Where You Run

Buzz!

Almost without any obstruction, the two seemed to originally be one, merging together without any hindrance.

The originally dormant Red Dragon immediately opened its dark golden eyes. After a brief silence, its head, larger than a mountain, suddenly lifted with an earth-shattering dragon roar.

Rumble!

The True Dragon swung its tail, endless magma surged, transforming into a skyful of fiery rain upon reaching the sky, pouring down heavily.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The next moment, the Red Dragon soared into the sky, carrying endless magma, spewing flames, accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, soaring upwards!

Within a ten-thousand-mile radius, all the common folk heard the earth-shaking dragon roar. When they looked up, they saw the True Body of the Red Dragon covering the sky.

"The True Dragon has emerged!"

"It’s the Red Dragon of Yuncang Volcano!"

"Why did it suddenly rise into the sky?"

Countless commoners were shocked, and most of them knelt on the ground in reverence, praying as if worshiping a divine being, fearing to desecrate the legendary existence.

Of course, there were also some reckless individuals excitedly wanting to approach the True Dragon, to witness the most terrifying and divine existence in the world.

But this was just the beginning. Suddenly, a golden celestial gate opened in the Nine Heavens, surrounded by endless elements of water, fire, wind, and thunder. The clouds turned golden, and celestial music echoed, with golden celestial flowers descending from the sky.

A talisman decree soared from between the Red Dragon’s brows, resonating with the celestial gate in the depths of the sky.

"Hahaha, the celestial gate has opened, the True Immortal Talisman Decree has manifested. I, Liu Wu, will finally return to the Immortal Position."

The Red Dragon emitted a dragon roar filled with joy and excitement.

However, in the next moment, the dragon roar abruptly stopped.

A Vajra Pestle directly shattered the celestial gate, and resplendent golden Buddha Light shone, causing all anomalies between heaven and earth to gradually dissipate.

"Benefactor, you have a connection with our Buddhist Sect!"

The figure of the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate appeared in front of the Red Dragon.

The Red Dragon was towering, and the Demon Subduing Venerate seemed as small as an ant before it, yet the massive True Dragon trembled.

"You, you, you... why do you stop me from ascending?" The Red Dragon’s tone was mixed with anger and fear. The old monk before it displayed a terrifying power, containing a divine power capable of slaughtering Immortals and Buddhas, causing a shiver from its very soul.

"The Immortal Realm of the Divine State is not necessarily a land of goodness. It would be better to take refuge in our Buddhism, in time becoming one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, ascending to the position of Bodhisattva, and achieving true fruit."

The Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate’s tone was very calm.

"Humph!"

Yi Hongchen’s gaze was cold, "As I expected, this old bald donkey did not actually save Liu Wu but instead returned his Primordial Spirit to the True Dragon’s body."

Originally, she and Chu Xiangtian planned for the lingering spirits of the two True Dragons to reincarnate because those two True Dragons were already slain, effectively dead.

But the True Body was undying, and through the flow of millennia came a trace of spirituality.

By allowing the spirits of these two True Dragons to reincarnate, cultivating to the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Human realm, then returning to the dragon body, they could immediately ascend. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Only then, by slaying the True Dragon, could they fully gain the Creation.

Merely a dead True Dragon no longer satisfied them.

At this moment, she no longer cared about anything else, and quickly put away Xiang Qingchi’s Primordial Spirit. The Ten Thousand Forms Massacre opened a Void Sect, stepping through.

When she appeared again, she was already above the Yuncang Mountain Range.

"Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate, it was bad enough that you ruined my plans, but if you dare to obstruct me from completing the Map of Mountains and Rivers, this True Monarch will fight to the death with you." Yi Hongchen’s tone, filled with murderous intent, resounded like a Celestial Sound.

The Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate had already anticipated her arrival and simply said to the massive Red Dragon before him, "Amitabha, good, very good, my Buddhism is compassionate. Originally, I did not want you to be slain, so I wished to bring you into our sect to escape this calamity."

"But alas... it’s ultimately too late, very well!"

"The old monk shall retire..."

"No." The Red Dragon, sensing the arrival of the murderous Yi Hongchen, almost tied itself in knots, its bones chilling, quickly howled at the old monk, "Venerate, I am willing to take refuge. I am willing to take refuge, now let me take refuge in the Buddhist Sect, please, Venerate, save me."

However, the figure of the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate had already disappeared like a bubble.

"It’s a pity, I was originally gravely injured, barely making an effort at the battle in the Central Capital. If this Red Dragon had been willing to leave with me earlier, I could have subdued it."

"But now..."

He slightly shook his head, "Better not to further provoke that madwoman Yi Hongchen. If I took this Red Dragon, she might chase me to the ends of the earth, across the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, and never let me go."

Thinking of this, the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate hesitated no more. Having achieved all his goals this time, in the future, even if Yi Hongchen truly completes the Map of Mountains and Rivers, because of today’s cause, he could share in part of the authority of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

At that time, he would have the hope of competing for that treasure.

"If I weren’t gravely injured, there’d be no need for such trouble!"

He thought to himself, his body already disappearing like a dream, a bubble in the earthly realm.

"The Emperor has obtained the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, henceforth, I need not worry about anything else. If Yi Hongchen wishes to kill the Emperor, she is courting death."

"It’s time to head to the outer seas, to recover all my injuries, otherwise, when the Emperor awakens, my current strength would be of no help."
