"This... this person really is..." Jiang Xue looked at her with a mix of anger and amusement, realizing that the Luminous Pearl must have some mark that allowed Ling Li to lock onto her position.
"How did you know?"
Wang Long smiled wryly and said, "Given her personality, how could she obediently follow a few Dragon Kings back? Didn't you see the look in her eyes when she was leaving..."
Suddenly, a girl's voice came through, feigning anger: "One is the leader of Dragon City, and the other is the clan leader of the Serpent Demon Clan. Not only are they being affectionate in this secluded place, but they're also talking behind others' backs. Isn't that too ungracious?!"
Wang Long retorted with a smile, "You're the one who should be ashamed. Why are you secretly following others and eavesdropping on their conversations?"
Ling Li chuckled lightly and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, now that I'm here, you don't need to criticize me anymore... Sister Jiang Xue, I'm sorry about that Gem thing, but the mark on it will disappear soon. You don't have to worry about me tracking you anymore. You can wear it with peace of mind!"
Jiang Xue smiled slightly and chose not to argue with her, placing the hairpin back into her hair.
"But this is good; it saves us from having to call you again... We need the Chaos Spirit sleeping within you right now! You two step aside for a moment; let me release the seal here and free the Evil and Malicious Corpse!"
Wang Long's expression darkened as he leaped into the air. Suddenly, he manipulated the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to form an enormous hand that plunged straight into the ground!
He intended to directly release the Evil and Malicious Corpse with brute force!
Boom!
A burst of light flashed as if thunder had exploded, filling the sky with brilliance that nearly blinded everyone present!
"Hmm? This is indeed quite a formidable seal... However, since I understand the knowledge of the Thirteen Volumes of Heavenly Scriptures, breaking this seal set by the Dragon Emperor is not a challenge at all!"
Wang Long controlled that gigantic hand to strike repeatedly on the ground with booming sounds. Towering trees that had grown for thousands of years without anyone caring were reduced to dust under such impacts.
Gradually, beams of light began to emerge from the ground as if Wang Long's hand had shattered the surface earth to reveal them.
"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen... Indeed, there are a total of thirteen beams of light. This is precisely where the Ancient Thirteen Dragon Emperors sealed the Evil and Malicious!" Ling Li clapped her hands in delight. At this moment, she was completely different from when she fought Yang Fuhai; Jiang Xue found herself momentarily lost in thought.
Which of the meticulous and righteous woman or the naive and reckless girl is the true face of Ling Li?
Suddenly, Wang Long let out a roar, and beams of light fell from the sky, aiming to forcibly suppress the seal of the Dragon Emperor, making it completely submit and retreat!
"Alas, Dragon Lord, your method of unsealing is quite lacking! Isn't this just a simple brute force approach? I thought you had some marvelous technique!"
Ling Li, being an expert in sealing techniques herself, began to critique Wang Long's methods.
At this moment, Wang Long had no time to pay her any mind. He transformed streams of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy into beams as thick as water barrels, forcefully pressing down towards the Thirteen Pillars of Light below.
"Ha!"
Wang Long shouted, and the Vital Energy surged wildly, swirling and churning madly before he transformed it all into his spear, striking down with tremendous force!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each resounding crash, the Thirteen Pillars of Light that originally suppressed the Evil and Malicious Corpse began to dim and blur under the relentless pressure.
Finally, with Wang Long's last roar, a massive hand reappeared and slammed downwards!
The Thirteen Pillars of Light finally vanished simultaneously, causing the ground to crack open instantly. A rumbling sound echoed from beneath, as if something was stirring.
"Rise!"
Wang Long shouted, and suddenly the earth shattered, mountains trembled, and a gust of Raging Wind swept through the surrounding forest, obliterating everything in its path. A gigantic skeleton over a hundred feet tall burst forth from the ground!
Evil and Malicious!
The true form of Evil and Malicious, having slept for millions of years, finally re-emerged into the world!
The skeleton... unlike what Wang Long and others imagined, actually has a human face! A human shape!
Could it be that the so-called Evil and Malicious is, in essence, a humanoid?
When summoning the spirit of Evil and Malicious together with the Three Great Beasts, the three of them observed from within its body and did not notice the shape of its true form; even later, when they truly summoned it and saw its fierce presence wielding a giant axe, they thought it was merely a humanoid form created by manipulating Vital Energy.
However, it seems that the true essence of Evil and Malicious is... human!
Wang Long landed and said softly, "Alright, now... awaken the souls of the Four Great Beasts!"
Ling Li and Jiang Xue nodded. Wang Long also released the Taotie that had been imprisoned within the Black Iron Ring. Although the Taotie was extremely greedy and brutal, it looked at this skeleton quietly, tilting its head as if confused.
Seeing this, Wang Long felt somewhat reassured.
The three of them joined hands again, their thoughts unified as they silently contemplated and sensed the presence of the Three Great Beasts. Although they were in slumber, there would still be a faint awareness for those who once hosted them.
"Dragon Duel? Heavenly Python? Chaos?"
The three called out simultaneously...
It felt as if they were in extreme darkness, with the Heavenly Capital appearing gray and the entire world shrouded in chaos...
But soon, they saw a glimmer of light emerging from afar.
"Dragon Duel?!"
Wang Long was most closely connected to Dragon Duel and immediately sensed a ripple, shouting loudly.
"Hmm? Who... who is calling me? Who dares to disturb my slumber?" The Dragon Soul momentarily felt confused and asked in a deep voice.
"However, this voice sounds somewhat familiar... Who could it be?"
Ling Li suddenly felt a stir in her heart and shouted, "Wake up, Chaos!"
The grayish space suddenly shifted, as if shaking off dust, and an enormous figure slowly emerged, letting out a low growl filled with confusion.
Jiang Xue also softly called out, "Heavenly Python's spirit... awaken!"
"Eh? Is that you, Dragon Duel? And Chaos Brother? Why are we here together? I remember we were scattered by the Thirteen Dragon Emperors and separated to the ends of the earth," Heavenly Python's familiar, gloomy voice came through.
The Three Great Beasts finally began to regain consciousness and revived once more.
At the same time, the three of them, along with the three fierce beasts, suddenly heard a tremendous roar...
Coming from beyond the six realms of consciousness.
That was the roar of Taotie.
