My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 217 - 53: The True Dragon Dances, a Grand Grade Bleeds

Under the astonished gazes of Sakata Shindo and the two Grand Grade experts in the clouds, the nine massive Dragon Corpses, to the sound of repeated THUMPS, slowly and painstakingly heaved up their colossal bodies. Their mere movement crushed the void and made all of Taishan tremble!

The young man stood atop the head of a True Dragon Corpse. He raised his head fiercely, staring directly at Sakata Shindo, his mangled hand striking the Fishing Drum again and again.

The drumming grew more intense. The Nine-headed True Dragon Corpse raised its skull and let out a silent roar!

"You old fiend!"

Lu Xuan roared, coughing up blood.

"Come, let me kill you!"

Sakata Shindo snapped back to his senses, his scalp tingling with dread.

Although they were dead True Dragon Corpses, these Nine-headed True Dragons had all been Celestial Venerables in life—existences at the Immortal Level!

The world had only recently been restored and strengthened. Otherwise, even these Immortal Corpses alone would have been enough to crush the Ancestor Star and collapse the Cosmos!

THUMP!!

As Sakata Shindo stood there stunned, Lu Xuan struck the Fishing Drum viciously once more. The sound of the Dao boomed, and phenomena like Immortal Flowers and Golden Lotuses appeared between heaven and earth, while Qingyun and other auspicious omens rose and fell!

As the Fishing Drum played its tune, Lu Xuan immersed his Spiritual Will into it, barely managing to control the Dragon Corpse. Thankfully, he had already reached the level of Unity of Heaven and Man, which had greatly boosted his spirit, True Spirit, and more.

Therefore, despite his extreme mental fatigue, he could still manage to make the Dragon Corpse move according to his will!

One True Dragon Corpse swung its tail. The hundred-li-long tail, which had been draped over the mountain, crushed the void and silently appeared above Sakata Shindo's head, whipping down viciously!

Sakata Shindo's pupils shrank. A chill ran down his spine and he tried to dodge, but he was enveloped by an incredibly fierce Immortal Blood Fiend.

The void around him froze, preventing him from escaping into folded space. Even his own movements became sluggish!

CRACK!!!

To the horrified gazes of Yan Huang and Chairman Ao Tao, the armless Sakata Shindo was struck squarely by the dragon tail. With a deafening boom, his entire body shot down from the sky like a cannonball, smashing violently into the ground!

BOOM!!

The ground shook violently, and a monstrous cloud of dust surged toward the heavens. The already dead and withered land was torn asunder. A world-destroying shockwave spread rapidly, shattering the ground across an area of ten thousand li, and the terrifying force then hurled the debris toward the Celestial Vault!

A section of the Earth ten thousand li wide and a thousand li deep was ripped from the ground and launched into the sky. The sight was too astonishing. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but fractured rock and shattered earth.

Huge chunks of rock mixed with waves of soil smashed through the clouds, broke through the atmosphere, and pulverized dozens of satellites!

Lu Xuan swallowed, clearly startled himself. That was just a lash from the Dragon Corpse using its pure physical strength. And because his control was so weak, he couldn't even unleash the Dragon Corpse's true Physique.

Yet it still created such a terrifying scene...

An entire region, ten thousand li wide, was torn apart and sent flying!

Meanwhile, Sakata Shindo, who had been smashed deep into the earth, was coughing up mouthfuls of blood. He looked almost as bad as Lu Xuan now—his body mangled, with stark white bone showing. The half of his body that had taken a direct hit from the dragon tail had completely disintegrated into dust!

With only half a body left, Sakata Shindo was lost in panic and terror. But Lu Xuan wasn't about to give him a moment's rest. He struck the Fishing Drum viciously again!

THUMP!!

This time, all Nine-headed True Dragons danced in unison. Their bodies coiled atop Taishan as their hundred-li-long tails swung down together, blasting space itself apart. In an Instant, they crossed thousands of li to smash down on Sakata Shindo, who was still deep within the earth!

His soul nearly fled his body in fright. While rapidly repairing his shattered body, he continuously summoned Magical Artifacts, Immortal Treasures, and more from his Spiritual World and sea of consciousness, trying to block the attack!

The body of an Immortal Level being is filled with the Dao and its principles. Its Acupoints transform into one Grotto Heaven after another. Even in death, it is close to the Dao, and its corpse possesses all sorts of incredible abilities.

This barrage was equivalent to countless Grotto Heavens crashing down. Even if these Grotto Heavens had fallen into Nirvana, their combined weight was still terrifyingly heavy!

'If I get hit a few more times, my Dao Foundation might be shattered, and my True Spirit will collapse!'

Spirit Treasures and Divine Objects glowing with Immortal Light expanded to block the attack. But whether it was a Divine Banner that could cover a thousand li of the sky or a Wakizashi that could split heaven and earth, they were all as fragile as paper before the dragon tails, torn to shreds with ease!

But this bought Sakata Shindo a sliver of breathing room. He let out a hysterical roar, commanding the Dao and its principles. Burning his own origin essence without hesitation, he erupted with the ultimate might of a Grand Grade, tearing open the void that had been frozen by the Immortal Blood Fiend and escaping into it.

"Why are you running?"

Lu Xuan stood swaying on the True Dragon's head, blood streaming from his body. 'This is the best chance I'll ever get to slay Sakata Shindo.'

The Jade Void Glazed Lamp had already severely wounded Sakata Shindo, burning away a portion of his Grand Grade foundation. He was at his absolute weakest.

'If I let him escape and his Grand Grade foundation recovers, I might not be able to beat him even with the Dragon Corpse. And I certainly won't get another chance to shove the Jade Void Glazed Lamp in his face...'

'Today is the perfect opportunity!'

With that thought, Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to keep striking the Fishing Drum. His spirit was fading, and under the terrifying backlash, his already mangled body became covered in even more cracks.

But he didn't care. He struck harder and faster, his drumming becoming fiercer and fiercer until it almost formed a battle anthem!

The entire Cosmos echoed with the urgent, violent THUMPS. Strange phenomena appeared throughout the universe—Golden Lotuses, Immortal Flowers, Qingyun, and auspicious omens!

To the dense rhythm of the drumbeats, the Nine-headed True Dragon Corpse began to dance again. Taishan trembled, and as the chains pulled taut, even the Coffin and Casket began to sway.

And the puppet-like Dead Immortal merely sat quietly to the side, watching the dancing Nine-headed True Dragon Corpse with a faint flicker of Spiritual Light in its dazed, vacant eyes.

"Sakata, you old fiend!!"

Large chunks of flesh were peeling off Lu Xuan's body from the backlash, but he paid it no mind, tilting his head back to let out a deafening roar!

Amidst the roar, he commanded the five Acupoints of Form, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch, and utilized the Profound Mysteries of the Unity of Heaven and Man. His Divine Sense surged, and he vaguely perceived the wildly fleeing Sakata Shindo!

THUMP!!!

He struck it viciously.

A Dragon Claw shot out. Using only a fraction of its physical power, it tore through space, crossing countless li in an Instant!

"Get back here!"

THUD!!

A muffled explosion echoed across the skies of the entire Ancestor Star. The void rippled and folded like the surface of a lake, shattering and repairing itself in rapid succession.

And from within, a tiny figure was swatted out of the void, trailing a great splash of a Grand Grade's blood. It was slammed back down, crashing into the mountainside of Taishan.

The entirety of Taishan trembled slightly, but only slightly.

Sakata Shindo was now on the verge of collapse in every sense of the word. His body could barely maintain a human form, and his spirit, True Spirit, and Dao Foundation were all covered in cracks!

He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with disbelief. Then, he let out a hysterical shriek toward the Celestial Vault:

"Save me!!"

High in the clouds, Chairman Ao Tao and Yan Huang, who had been watching this unfold in a daze, were stunned for a moment before snapping back to their senses.

However, in the next instant.

To Sakata Shindo's shocked and furious gaze, the chairman of Aotao Organism... turned and fled. A Golden Great Dao appeared beneath his feet, and in an instant, he vanished without a trace...

Sakata Shindo trembled with rage as a deep despair washed over him. He glanced at Yan Huang, who was watching him like a tiger from the clouds, then at the True Dragon dancing to the beat of the Fishing Drum, and finally at the young man standing on its head. He let out a miserable laugh.

"Let me ask you..."

Lu Xuan didn't kill him immediately. He just dragged his broken, weary body forward and asked a question:

"Who is behind the Evil Cult? Seven years ago, there were over a hundred sacrificial city massacres. Was that the work of the Life Tower?"

Sakata Shindo laughed miserably. He was in an utterly wretched state—missing both arms, more than half his body destroyed, his internal organs turned to mush.

Even his spirit and True Spirit were shattered, and his Grand Grade Dao Foundation was on the verge of complete collapse!

First, he was burned by the Jade Void Glaze, then relentlessly battered by the Immortal Corpse. It was safe to say he could fall from the Grand Grade Realm at any moment and was already on the brink of death.

"To the victor go the spoils..."

Sakata Shindo coughed up blood and gave up on stabilizing his body and spirit. He allowed a massive amount of Divine Essence to leak from his physical shell as he said coldly:

"Enough talk. I do not fear death. I am not afraid of death. My lineage is the bravest and most martial in the world!"

Just then, Yan Huang descended from the clouds. He glanced worriedly at Lu Xuan's mangled body, then said:

"Should we kill him, or should I take him back for a long interrogation?"

Lu Xuan coughed up a clot of blood mixed with fragments of his lungs. After a moment of silence, he smiled.

"Kill him."

With that, he raised his hand and struck down.

THUMP!

The Dragon Corpse raised its claw, covering the Celestial Vault, and slammed it down with a thunderous roar!

Sakata Shindo once again faced the terrifying Immortal Blood Fiend. He trembled involuntarily. Though his words defied death, true terror bloomed in his heart when he actually faced it.

The next instant, the Dragon Claw fell, completely crushing his body, destroying his soul, and piercing through his Dao Foundation!

The sky changed color. The death of a Grand Grade Body triggered numerous celestial phenomena, but Lu Xuan didn't watch. He simply stared at Sakata Shindo's remains, raised the Jade Void Glazed Lamp, and guided a flicker of its flame onto the pile of mush that was the corpse.

The flame ignited, fueled by concepts and Cause and Effect. In the raging fire, Sakata Shindo was completely and utterly erased from Existence!!

After all was done, Lu Xuan collapsed onto the True Dragon's head. The sound of the Fishing Drum ceased, and the Nine-headed True Dragon Corpse crashed down powerlessly once more, landing atop Taishan amidst a cloud of dust!

Yan Huang shot a wary glance at the Dead Immortal nearby, then took a deep breath and said:

"Xiaoxuan, you..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Lu Xuan struggled to his feet and painstakingly put away the Fishing Drum and the Jade Void Glazed Lamp. He said:

"Uncle Yan, from now on, there's no more Sakata Heavy Industries, right?"

"No more." Yan Huang looked at the mangled young man before him, his heart pounding. 'He's only sixteen or seventeen, yet he's already an Earth Immortal. And with the body of an Earth Immortal, he suppressed and killed a Grand Grade expert!'

'Even though he relied on external forces, and there was a huge element of luck involved, the undeniable fact is that he slayed a Grand Grade!!'

As Yan Huang's heart reeled from the shock, the heavily injured Qing Ping slowly walked over, also coughing up blood.

He woodenly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pointed nearby.

Lu Xuan and Yan Huang were taken aback. They followed Qing Ping's finger with their eyes and were stunned.

Not far away, the faint, flickering portal seemed to have been damaged in the great battle. It showed signs of collapse and was beginning to shatter!

"Oh no!"

Lu Xuan's expression changed drastically. He just remembered that Xiaoyan and the others were still inside!

Just then, the ten-thousand-li-wide expanse of earth that had been torn into the sky began to fall back down, raining debris like a torrential downpour.

And only now, in the depths of the starry sky, throughout the vast Cosmos, did the ripples from those thunderous THUMPS finally begin to spread!
