Chapter 912: Purple Lightning Sword Full Power Unleashed

Chen Mobai’s gaze was solemn. He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Patriarch Poison Dragon, a power far surpassing that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and crimson lightning flickered restlessly within them. A chilling, murderous aura permeated the air.

As Patriarch Poison Dragon stepped out of the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, his aura could no longer be concealed.

Amidst a roaring sound, the first bolt of lightning struck down, crimson as blood, as if tearing the sky apart before instantly crashing down on Patriarch Poison Dragon’s head.

Chen Mobai could feel that this crimson heavenly lightning possessed power almost comparable to the Violet Lightning Sword.

However, Patriarch Poison Dragon merely flicked his snake tail, and under the vast and immense demonic energy, the powerful lightning bolt was instantly shattered.

“Let’s go!”

Chen Mobai was not one to act recklessly. Seeing this, he immediately turned and retreated with Zhou Shengqing, seizing the opportunity while Patriarch Poison Dragon was distracted by the heavenly tribulation.

He withdrew the Grand Unity Five Smoke Robe, wrapping himself and Zhou Shengqing within it as they flew towards the Wind and Rain Dock.

As Chen Mobai flew away, he felt a profound, sea-like divine sense firmly locked onto him. Although this divine sense weakened as the distance increased, it showed no sign of breaking off.

A warning sign emerged in his mind, growing stronger as he drew closer to the Wind and Rain Dock.

Chen Mobai quickly realized that this was the “Tongtian Zhi” realm of the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram, warning him through the Heavenly Heart.

Suppressing the unease in his heart, he asked Zhou Shengqing, who indeed also felt a divine sense locked onto him.

“Senior Brother, it seems we can’t just leave easily.”

Chen Mobai said, then suddenly halted the flight of the Grand Unity Five Smoke Robe, remaining suspended in mid-air.

“Junior Brother, let’s go back to the Wind and Rain Dock first. There’s a grand formation protecting it, and with the two of us defending and gathering all the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect to form the Five Elements Dao Soldiers, we might just be able to stop Patriarch Poison Dragon.”

Zhou Shengqing, whether comforting himself or Chen Mobai, urged them to retreat to the sect first.

“Senior Brother, if Patriarch Poison Dragon successfully passes his heavenly tribulation, I’m afraid the Rank 4 grand formation at Wind and Rain Dock won’t be able to hold up.”

Chen Mobai spoke again, and upon hearing him, Zhou Shengqing suggested the best-case scenario.

“Patriarch Poison Dragon has cultivated a true spirit bloodline; his tribulation will be no small matter. He might even perish under the heavenly tribulation.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai knew that Zhou Shengqing understood the situation perfectly. It was just that with the Five Elements Sect’s growing prosperity, he was unwilling to risk his life under these circumstances.

Now, as Patriarch Poison Dragon undergoes his tribulation, whether it’s a true spirit tribulation or a Spirit Transformation tribulation, it will undoubtedly be his weakest moment.

And if Chen Mobai wasn't mistaken, the reason he and Zhou Shengqing encountered Patriarch Poison Dragon at this moment was likely due to the guidance of fate, as part of Patriarch Poison Dragon’s tribulation.

If the two of them retreated and left now, there was no doubt that Patriarch Poison Dragon’s chances of successfully passing his tribulation would greatly increase.

A being at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, one who had even refined a true spirit bloodline—if he were to survive the heavenly tribulation, even Chen Mobai, commanding the Five Elements Dao Soldiers or relying on the grand formation of Wind and Rain Dock, would likely not be his match.

It was precisely for this reason that the Heavenly Heart began to send warnings after Chen Mobai left.

The further they moved from Patriarch Poison Dragon, the more intense the warning became.

“Senior Brother, if we go back now and use the power of the heavenly tribulation to kill Patriarch Poison Dragon, the Five Elements Sect will have no more worries. But if we leave now, Patriarch Poison Dragon will very likely survive his tribulation, and by then, we might have no choice but to abandon the Eastern Desolation and lead the sect’s elites to relocate to Dongyi, or even Dongtu, just to survive.”

Chen Mobai voiced his thoughts. After listening, Zhou Shengqing let out a bitter laugh.

He had naturally considered this possibility, but as the sect’s influence grew, he had gradually lost the youthful courage and drive he once possessed.

Going back to use the heavenly tribulation against Patriarch Poison Dragon meant that if they failed, both of them would die, and the flourishing Five Elements Sect would instantly plummet to rock bottom. At the very least, Patriarch Baiwu of Dongyi would not let this opportunity slip away.

But Chen Mobai was also right: since Patriarch Poison Dragon dared to emerge and undergo his heavenly tribulation, even without concealment, he clearly possessed great confidence.

If he were allowed to pass his tribulation, the Five Elements Sect wouldn't even be able to remain in the Eastern Desolation.

And now, this was the sliver of hope granted by Heaven.

During a tribulation, anyone, no matter who they are, is at their weakest.

This weakness refers to the immense vital essence and spirit a living being must expend on the heavenly tribulation. If an enemy then attacks, it essentially becomes a combined heavenly and human tribulation, and the vast majority of beings in the Heavenly River Realm perish at this critical juncture.

For a demonic beast with a true spirit bloodline undergoing tribulation, the scale of the tribulation is even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shengqing took a deep breath. He understood Chen Mobai’s meaning, and his gaze sharpened, a decision now firm in his heart.

“Since Junior Brother intends to fight, I will naturally accompany you. However, I have one request.”

“Please speak, Senior Brother!”

“If the situation becomes hopeless, Junior Brother, you must leave. I will hold back Patriarch Poison Dragon for you. Remember, even if you have to abandon the Eastern Desolation, you must preserve the sect’s legacy.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai paused slightly, then nodded solemnly.

“I understand your resolve, Senior Brother. But if it truly comes to that, we two brothers can each leave separately. Whichever of us returns to the sect will be able to lead the Five Elements Sect through this crisis.”

Chen Mobai believed that if both he and Zhou Shengqing tried to escape simultaneously, Patriarch Poison Dragon would definitely pursue him, and he had a way to leave this world and avoid the tribulation.

He was always cautious, and in this battle, he considered defeat before victory.

“Very well, then I’ll leave the rest to you, Junior Brother.”

Zhou Shengqing was slightly moved by Chen Mobai’s words and nodded vigorously.

With their thoughts aligned, both turned simultaneously and returned the way they came.

Before long, they arrived back at the barren island.

They saw that the Sun Family’s formation, which had originally enveloped the island, had already been completely shattered under the continuous bombardment of crimson lightning. Many of the formation flags on the earthen mounds had turned to ashes.

Only the altar remained intact, protected by Patriarch Poison Dragon’s immense demonic energy as he coiled upon it.

And beside the altar, Sun Jude was surprisingly still alive, though he was huddled, trembling under the might of the peerless demon king.

“You two actually dare to return!”

Seeing Chen Mobai and Zhou Shengqing standing atop colorful clouds, Patriarch Poison Dragon’s face twisted into a sneer. He waved his snake tail and drew a black trident from the spatial portal behind him.

With a horizontal swing of the trident, the crimson heavenly lightning bolts plummeting from the sky were instantly dispersed, landing across various parts of the island and melting numerous craters.

Some residual lightning splashed onto the formation flags on the earthen mounds, causing their spiritual light to dim before they burst into fierce flames.

Chen Mobai’s expression remained unchanged as he watched these scenes.

After returning here, the Heavenly Heart’s warning from “Tongtian Zhi” was still present, but it was no longer as intense as when they had left.

This indicated that his judgment was correct.

Today, taking advantage of the heavenly tribulation, was the best opportunity to slay Patriarch Poison Dragon.

If he and Zhou Shengqing had fled out of fear, it would not only mean the ruin of the Five Elements Sect’s great foundation but might also lead to widespread suffering for the human inhabitants of the Eastern Desolation and Eastern Wu.

The foundation of Chen Mobai’s Crown of Heavenly and Earthly Beings was the populace of the Eastern Desolation.

Therefore, he intended to try and see if he could slay Patriarch Poison Dragon here today.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai’s divine sense surged, and a void opened, from which a long sword glowing with violet light descended.

“Slaying this poison dragon, one hundred high-grade spirit stones!”

After the Violet Lightning Sword appeared, it immediately sensed Patriarch Poison Dragon’s powerful aura. Before it could even decide on a suitable price for itself, Chen Mobai had already offered an unprecedented, exorbitant sum!

“One hundred?! Master, I didn’t mishear, did I!”

The Violet Lightning Sword thought Chen Mobai had added an extra zero.

“This demonic beast from another realm is almost Rank 5 and immensely powerful. It’s the strongest demonic beast I’ve encountered here. If it’s slain, the Immortal Gate’s overall situation here will essentially be unshakable!”

Chen Mobai said that as long as Patriarch Poison Dragon could be slain, there would be no more enemies in the three frontier regions of Dongzhou worth worrying about.

Therefore, this battle should also be the Violet Lightning Sword’s ultimate battle.

Afterwards, any opponents Chen Mobai encountered would likely not require its intervention.

This was why he offered the terrifyingly high price of one hundred high-grade spirit stones.

“Master, tell me how to kill it!”

As the Violet Lightning Sword transmitted its voice, a terrifying sword intent capable of tearing heaven and earth erupted, yet it resonated strangely with the continuous heavenly tribulation falling from the sky.

At this moment, Chen Mobai’s connection with the Violet Lightning Sword also reached an unprecedented level of clarity.

Through the Violet Lightning Sword’s senses, he perceived the world’s spiritual energy within a hundred-mile radius continuously surging, transforming into wind, thunder, fire, and lightning, evolving into an endless heavenly tribulation that formed clouds, covering the sky and sun.

Patriarch Poison Dragon was a water-attribute demonic beast, and these heavenly tribulations, formed specifically against him, were all of the fire-yang attribute, directly countering him.

This perfectly aligned with Chen Mobai’s Pure Yang Scroll, and even the Violet Lightning Sword’s attribute.

Furthermore, the Violet Lightning Sword inherently possessed the ability to manipulate fire-yang tribulation lightning. In this environment, Chen Mobai, aided by the sword, seemed to become the master of this realm.

He felt as though he could control the heavenly tribulation!

Acting on his thought, Chen Mobai moved his sword-finger, and the Violet Lightning Sword instantly flew towards the trident Patriarch Poison Dragon was wielding.

Under the Sword Fiend Thunder Sound, the violet sword moved like lightning, avoiding a head-on clash with the trident with a thought, and instantly landed on Patriarch Poison Dragon’s neck.

With a creaking sound.

A patch of black scales covering Patriarch Poison Dragon’s neck suddenly cracked.

Meanwhile, Zhou Shengqing had also manifested his Rank 4 tree seed, though he hesitated to fully unleash it under the crimson tribulation lightning. Nevertheless, he used the tree seed to cast a Spirit Leaf Talisman, helping Chen Mobai deflect the trident.

“What a fine flying sword! After I kill you, this sword will become my collection!”

Patriarch Poison Dragon saw that the Violet Lightning Sword hadn’t broken his scales. Indifferently, he shattered the Spirit Leaf with his trident and struck towards Chen Mobai again. Raising his other hand, his black-scaled palm directly grasped the Violet Lightning Sword, intending to suppress this Rank 5 sword artifact.

“Today, I accept the mandate of heaven, wielding the power of heavenly tribulation to slay demons!”

At this moment, Chen Mobai whispered, then activated the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram at full power. After applying various enhancements, he controlled the sword with his divine sense.

A colossal, semi-transparent humanoid illusion, wearing a white jade crown, also appeared faintly behind Chen Mobai.

Although this was already the territory of Eastern Wu, the Eastern Desolation was right next door. And now, Chen Mobai was embodying the will of heaven to become a tribulation, obstructing Patriarch Poison Dragon's breakthrough. Thus, he even felt that the heavenly and earthly wills of both the Eastern Desolation and Eastern Wu regions were leaning towards him.

The heavenly tribulation, naturally, was no exception; it seemed as if it had gathered specifically for him.

As he controlled the sword with his divine sense, the Violet Lightning Sword’s core sword intent instantly erupted, connecting with heaven and earth and drawing forth the terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation.

Boom!

Amidst a colossal roar, the tribulation clouds above the barren island erupted with a tremendous sound. A head-sized, blindingly bright crimson lightning orb descended from the center of the tribulation, twisting and deforming even the void with its terrifying energy as it passed.

This power of heavenly tribulation was several times stronger than Chen Mobai’s, and even comparable to Patriarch Poison Dragon’s. However, the latter’s demonic energy had long been refined to perfection, even transforming into a true spirit bloodline, making it extremely condensed. While the heavenly tribulation appeared vast, it had not yet evolved to its peak, so before that, it could only deplete Patriarch Poison Dragon’s vital energy.

However, with Chen Mobai’s arrival, these heavenly tribulations, under the combined influence of “Tongtian Zhi,” the Crown of Heavenly and Earthly Beings, and the Violet Lightning Sword, were perfectly controlled by him. They transformed into pure and vast tribulation lightning power, precisely striking the hilt of the Violet Lightning Sword.

With a sizzling crackle!

Patriarch Poison Dragon’s palm, which had been grasping the Violet Lightning Sword’s blade, immediately flashed with wisps of purplish-red current, and a burnt smell, like cooked meat, began to spread.

“A mere human, able to control the heavenly tribulation!”

Patriarch Poison Dragon was somewhat surprised to see this. He immediately flung the Violet Lightning Sword out of his grasp with force.

But under Chen Mobai’s divine sense control, the Violet Lightning Sword instantly changed direction and struck down at Patriarch Poison Dragon’s head again.

Clang! A dull thud!

Patriarch Poison Dragon retracted his trident, blocking the Violet Lightning Sword by a hair’s breadth.

The moment the two artifacts met, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread out.

Accompanied by a shriek, Sun Jude, who was beneath the altar, was crushed by the terrifying aftershock without any power to resist.

On a certain hidden island far away.

Sun Baili, who was watching the battle with an ice mirror, clenched his fist upon seeing this scene, but his expression remained unchanged.

“Are you sad?”

Wen Buyue suddenly asked. Sun Baili shook his head.

“I walk the Sacred Path, so I must naturally sever all emotions and desires. Mere father-son affection has long been discarded by me.”

Hearing this, Wen Buyue remained silent, while Tu Daohua, at his side, feigned praise, stating that with such a mindset, Sun Baili was destined for greatness in the future.

“Patriarch Poison Dragon’s strength is much greater than we imagined. It seems the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Five Elements Sect are destined to die in Cloud Dream Lake today.”

After offering his praise, Tu Daohua sighed, pointing at the scene in the ice mirror as he spoke.

“That’s fine too. Without the Five Elements Sect suppressing him, Patriarch Poison Dragon will surely rampage, and human lives will become worthless. Only then will there be fertile ground for my Sacred Sect to develop.”

Sun Baili spoke with an icy expression. The more chaotic the era, the faster the Demonic Dao developed.

On the altar, Patriarch Poison Dragon raised the palm that had just grasped the Violet Lightning Sword. The black scales on his palm showed only a faint white mark, but between the gaps of the scales, faint wisps of smoke could be vaguely seen.

He could feel the flesh and blood of his palm boiling. The powerful Violet Lightning Sword Intent, imbued with sword fiend powers like blood-burning and scale-cutting, had filtered through most of his scales but still caused him some damage. If not dealt with quickly, it might penetrate to his more vulnerable tendons and bones, or even his entire body.

Crash!

At this moment, with Sun Jude’s death, the heterodox Golden Core he had refined began to lose control, transforming into a considerable tide of spiritual energy that surged with sound.

Just as it was about to explode, Patriarch Poison Dragon’s hand, scorched by the Violet Lightning Sword Intent, descended. This energy, equivalent to a Golden Core’s self-detonation, was effortlessly suppressed by him.

Patriarch Poison Dragon even plunged his hand into it, seemingly using the explosive energy of this water-attribute heterodox Golden Core to cleanse the tribulation lightning’s fire-poison, which continually burned his blood qi, from the flesh of his palm.

“Impressive scales, but it seems your physical body isn’t particularly well-trained.”

Chen Mobai’s expression remained calm as he spoke upon seeing this.

Patriarch Poison Dragon’s black scales were undoubtedly Rank 5 level defense; even his Violet Lightning Sword could only penetrate them, not inflict a fatal wound.

However, by leveraging the power of tribulation lightning and Chen Mobai’s sword fiend enhancements—burning, scale-cutting, blood-burning, defense-piercing, and other effects—the attack passed through the scales, directly harming Patriarch Poison Dragon’s physical body.

“A mere human, daring to be insolent in my presence!”

Patriarch Poison Dragon’s expression turned cold. He clenched his left hand, which had been scorched by the Violet Lightning Sword Intent. The energy tide from the heterodox Golden Core’s explosion instantly dispersed, and at the same time, wisps of purplish-red sparks seeped from between his fingers.

This meant Patriarch Poison Dragon had expelled all residual sword intent from his body.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai’s expression became slightly grim. With that previous sword strike, he had almost entirely concentrated the fire-yang tribulation lightning power from the heavenly tribulation, unleashing the Violet Lightning Sword’s full potential.

If he were to encounter Patriarch Jinfeng again, Chen Mobai was confident that this single sword strike would reduce him to ashes.

Yet, Patriarch Poison Dragon showed no apparent injuries, merely a slight weakening of his aura.

Was this the power of a peerless demon king, equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?!

At this moment, Patriarch Poison Dragon sneered, flicked his snake tail, and the black scales on his body gleamed with a cold light.

Chen Mobai, with the added states of “Tongtian Zhi,” “Empty Valley Sound,” and others, immediately sensed the vast and boundless water spiritual energy from Cloud Dream Lake, as well as the Rank 5 spiritual energy from the spatial portal behind Patriarch Poison Dragon. This energy was continuously surging towards Patriarch Poison Dragon as its center, passing through his black scales and transforming into the demonic energy he had previously expended.

“Junior Brother…”

Zhou Shengqing’s worried spiritual message reached Chen Mobai’s ears. He felt there was no chance of victory!

“Senior Brother, I will fight with all my might. If it proves impossible, you must retreat!”

By this point, Chen Mobai could only trust the Heavenly Heart’s warning from “Tongtian Zhi.” He also felt that as Patriarch Poison Dragon harnessed the spiritual energy of Cloud Dream Lake and the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion to recover his losses, the heavenly tribulation, which had previously had its fire-yang tribulation lightning drawn away by him, seemed to react defensively. It began to draw fire-yang spiritual energy from an even greater distance.

The tribulation clouds, which had begun to shrink, started to expand again, quickly surpassing their previous size and becoming even vaster.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai immediately understood that this was the heavenly tribulation’s final counterattack and promptly struck again.

His pure Yang True Qi surged throughout his body, and the Violet Lightning Sword’s radiance dramatically increased, transforming into a purplish-red meteor that, carrying an overwhelming sword intent, shot directly towards Patriarch Poison Dragon.

“Hmph, seeking death!”

A fierce glint appeared in Patriarch Poison Dragon’s eyes. His entire body of scales abruptly expanded, and a powerful force erupted from within him. He swung the trident in his hand, clashing with the Violet Lightning Sword once more.

Another extremely dull thud!

Chen Mobai felt as if his divine sense had been struck by a heavy blow. This was the drawback of ‘sword synchronization’ with the Violet Lightning Sword and controlling it with his divine sense.

While this allowed him to maximize the power of this Rank 5 sword artifact, if the opponent was strong and the sword suffered damage, he would also feel the repercussions.

Unfortunately, the Deep Sea Sword’s spirit had not yet awakened and could not be synchronized. Furthermore, due to the nature of his Pure Yang True Qi, even if it could be synchronized, he would only be able to rely on the Deep Sea Sword’s inherent power.

However, the Deep Sea Sword’s attribute would instead weaken Patriarch Poison Dragon’s heavenly tribulation.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Mobai’s greatest reliance in this battle remained the Violet Lightning Sword.

As Patriarch Poison Dragon continuously used his true spirit bloodline to control and absorb the water spiritual energy from Cloud Dream Lake and the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, his aura became increasingly terrifying, and the heavenly tribulation also grew in intensity accordingly.

Chen Mobai had also gathered enough data and entered the combat state of the Inch-Square Book. Golden lines began to emerge in his pupils, outlining Patriarch Poison Dragon’s silhouette.

The Violet Lightning Sword’s speed grew ever faster, but Patriarch Poison Dragon’s trident swings were no less swift, blocking nearly ninety-nine percent of the flying sword’s strikes.

The remaining strikes, too fast to block due to the Sword Fiend Thunder Sound’s speed, were met head-on, relying on the sturdiness of his scales.

Every time the Violet Lightning Sword collided with Patriarch Poison Dragon’s trident or scales, a crimson bolt of heavenly lightning from the tribulation clouds in the sky would strike the sword, becoming an energy source for this Rank 5 sword artifact.

Zhou Shengqing watched dumbfounded from the side. If he were caught in any of their exchanges, his fate would likely be little better than Sun Jude’s.

At most, he would last a little longer!

As the Violet Lightning Sword accelerated again, dodging the trident, it pierced Patriarch Poison Dragon’s glabella, and a crimson tribulation lightning bolt struck down.

Amidst a thunderous roar, it was as if a crimson pillar of heaven spanned between heaven and earth, cleaving apart yin and yang, dusk and dawn!

On a certain hidden island far away.

The demonic cultivators watching the battle with the ice mirror couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Tu Daohua and Sun Baili, in particular, were both utterly shocked.

Although Wen Buyue’s expression remained normal, his eyes had grown solemn.

He estimated that even if he went all out, he probably wouldn’t be a match for Patriarch Poison Dragon and Chen Qingdi.

Patriarch Poison Dragon was one thing, being a thousand-year demon king who had even cultivated a true spirit bloodline.

But this Chen Qingdi, who had only formed his Nascent Soul a little over a decade ago, actually possessed such terrifying combat prowess.

As the Saint Son of a major Demonic Dao sect, Wen Buyue had now understood Chen Qingdi’s sword dao realm.

The Sword Fiend Thunder Sound alone was nothing remarkable for a Nascent Soul sword cultivator, but witnessing how the violet flying sword was perfectly in sync with his will, even manipulating tribulation lightning with its sword, clearly showed an extremely profound realm of “one sword creates myriad techniques.”

Sword light manifesting form, sword form condensing intent, sword intent forming momentum, sword heart clear as day!

Only the final step of the primordial spirit dwelling in the sword remained, which would signify one of the two peak achievements in the sword dao.

Wen Buyue also considered himself a genius, but he had only managed to condense his own sword intent. As for sword intent evolving into grand natural phenomena or even controlling natural weather, he had only just scratched the surface.

Yet, this Chen Qingdi before him achieved it with such ease.

No wonder the Yiyuan Dao Palace dared to let this generation’s Daozi cultivate freely in the Eastern Desolation, even while being closed off.

A sword dao genius like this would certainly not have been able to cultivate such a terrifying sword dao realm if protected within a greenhouse.

Only after struggling and transcending in such perilous frontier lands of Dongzhou could such astonishing and unparalleled sword dao be forged!

At this moment, Wen Buyue began to reconsider all his plans targeting the Five Elements Sect.

He did not wish to provoke such a terrifying Nascent Soul sword cultivator as Chen Qingdi!

Chen Mobai, naturally, had no idea that the scene of him leveraging the grand natural forces to unleash the Violet Lightning Sword’s power to 120% had intimidated a Demonic Dao Saint Son.

As the battle intensified, coupled with the combat state provided by the Inch-Square Book, Chen Mobai had long been fully immersed in his engagement with Patriarch Poison Dragon.

Without the suppression of various emotions, his latent instincts began to awaken, complementing the Inch-Square Book perfectly. Under the various data models provided by the latter, although his pure Yang True Qi and divine sense grew weaker, on the battlefield, he began to actively suppress Patriarch Poison Dragon.

The speed of the Violet Lightning Sword, at this moment, had reached an unprecedented peak.

Under the effect of the Synchronicity Pact, the Violet Radiance Sword Intent of its previous owner, Senior Qing Shi, began to fully awaken within the sword’s body. The Violet Lightning Sword felt as though it was being wielded by its old master, carrying surging tribulation lightning, tearing through the air, and striking directly at Patriarch Poison Dragon’s vital points.

Originally, Patriarch Poison Dragon could block most of the attacks with his trident, but now he could only block seventy percent.

More white marks, cracks, and even wisps of charred smoke began to appear on his body’s black scales.

Patriarch Poison Dragon roared furiously, seized the opportunity, and twisted his body sharply. After failing to block with his trident yet again, his snake tail lashed out like a steel whip at the Violet Lightning Sword, intending to coil around it and suppress it.

But he didn’t notice that a terrifying dark red light had illuminated the center of the tribulation clouds in the sky.

The instant his snake tail collided with the Violet Lightning Sword, a thin yet blindingly bright crimson bolt of lightning instantly descended, like a thread of light, attaching itself to the hilt of the Violet Lightning Sword.

With a cracking sound, several scales on the snake’s tail split open under the Violet Lightning Sword’s blade.

“Mere tribulation lightning…”

Patriarch Poison Dragon, seeing this, showed no fear whatsoever, directly erupting with his vast demonic energy, intending to completely suppress the Violet Lightning Sword.

However, this was also part of Chen Mobai’s battle strategy!

Boom! A tremendous roar!

The second crimson tribulation lightning bolt struck down. This second bolt was even more violent than the first, and it also landed on the hilt of the Violet Lightning Sword.

Aided by this, the blade of the Violet Lightning Sword, trapped by the snake’s tail, descended another inch.

A scale suddenly cracked and flew off Patriarch Poison Dragon’s flesh.

Patriarch Poison Dragon’s expression shifted slightly, but at that moment, the third, the fourth…

Countless crimson heavenly lightning bolts, controlled by Chen Mobai, continuously poured into the Violet Lightning Sword. The originally vast and chaotic power of the heavenly tribulation was thoroughly condensed and refined through this Rank 5 sword artifact, simultaneously pushing the Violet Lightning Sword’s power to an unprecedented level of might.

Over a dozen black scales on Patriarch Poison Dragon’s snake tail, where it met the sword blade, instantly shattered. Without the protection of the scales, the Violet Lightning Sword pierced through like a hot knife through butter, plunging into the snake tail’s iridescent flesh.

A large splattering of colorful blood suddenly sprayed onto the altar. The Violet Lightning Sword had cut through the snake tail, and if not for the scales on the other side still connecting it, the tail would likely have been completely severed.
