CHAPTER 1093: CHAPTER 1093: BATTLE AGAINST THE TRUE DRAGON

Xu Nian looked at the True Dragon crouched in front of him, a smile spreading across his face.

He hadn’t expected the Nine Dragons Supreme Body to be so domineering, capable of suppressing even a True Dragon.

However, Xu Nian’s expression quickly changed again.

The True Dragon that had crouched down slowly began to stand back up.

Xu Nian furrowed his brow and immediately shouted again: "Down!"

The True Dragon bent its legs, yet did not crouch. Instead, it let out a dragon roar, directly shattering the power of Xu Nian’s Nine Dragons Supreme.

Xu Nian’s face changed, and he involuntarily stepped back.

"Human, although you possess the Dragon God Supreme Bloodline, your Supreme Bloodline has not yet reached Great Success, and your strength remains too weak. If you had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, I couldn’t withstand this bloodline pressure," the True Dragon spoke in human tongue.

Xu Nian’s brow furrowed tightly, yet he wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

This was as he had expected; the pressure of the Nine Dragons Supreme Body was ineffective against a True Dragon.

Of course, to say it had no effect at all would be impossible; surely the True Dragon’s strength was significantly limited at the moment.

"Human, since you cannot suppress me, I will not let you leave today. If I swallow your bloodline, I will break free of this restriction, return to the Dragon Clan, and will surely become the Dragon Emperor in the future," the True Dragon said to Xu Nian, its blue dragon eyes flickering with lightning, its gaze exceptionally fiery.

Seeing this scene, Xu Nian immediately laughed.

He hadn’t even considered the True Dragon, yet the True Dragon had first set its eyes on him.

"So, you and I are destined for a fight to the death?" Xu Nian looked at the True Dragon, a fierce fighting spirit beginning to exude from his gaze.

It had come to such a point that it was truly a battle to the death.

He needed the True Dragon’s blood, while the True Dragon wanted to swallow him to obtain the Supreme Bloodline.

One of them had to die.

"Human, since you understand, let’s decide life and death!" the True Dragon roared, and in the next moment, its body soared into the sky.

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded in the sky, countless bolts of lightning appearing out of nowhere.

The True Dragon spat a lightning bolt as thick as a thigh, launching it directly at Xu Nian.

The lightning contained a powerful aura of destruction.

Xu Nian’s expression changed, and he quickly transformed into a shadow, darting backward.

"Boom!"

The lightning struck down, causing the earth to explode, a massive crater appearing on the ground, blackened and charred.

"Not good!"

Xu Nian had just avoided the lightning when his expression suddenly changed.

A dragon force, transformed into a swift shadow, came whipping toward him.

Its speed was as fast as lightning, with the force wrapped in lightning.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the King Jing Sword appeared directly in Xu Nian’s hand.

"Ten Miles Cold Light!"

Xu Nian slashed down with his sword.

The sword’s edge collided directly with the blue scale armor, sparking brilliantly.

However, Xu Nian’s Sword Qi only held it off for a moment before he and his sword were sent flying.

"Boom!"

An outcropping of stone in the distance exploded, sending rubble flying everywhere.

Xu Nian fell amongst the rocks, spitting blood wildly from his mouth, his chest charred black.

"Cough, cough, that kind of power is terrifyingly strong," Xu Nian said, clutching his chest in pain.

All his internal organs were shattered, and even his body suffered major damage.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique, strengthening his body with energy metal’s tempering.

Now, it was as strong as a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, for otherwise this strike would have turned him into pulp.

Yet his sword had only left a crack on the blue scale armor, failing to cause substantial damage.

"Such strong defense, it must be approaching the level of an Immortal Artifact," Xu Nian mused to himself.

Just like Spiritual Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts are divided into four grades.

Low Grade Immortal Artifact, Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, Top-grade Immortal Artifact, and Top-grade Immortal Artifact.

Xu Nian’s King Jing Sword was a Low Grade Immortal Artifact, and a single slash only left a minor scar.

This meant the hardness of the dragon scales was already approaching that of a Low Grade Immortal Artifact.

No wonder Lin Hao couldn’t hurt it; just its defense meant that even with an Immortal Artifact, Lin Hao might not unleash its true power.

Of course, if Xu Nian had a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, this strike would be enough for this True Dragon to suffer greatly.

"Human, you are not my match. I advise you to let me devour you; this way, you can avoid some unnecessary suffering," the True Dragon said, its eyes filled with disdain.

In its view, Xu Nian was already a meal on its plate.

Xu Nian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze becoming sharp.

The Divine Demon Power circulated within him, his body recovering at a visibly rapid pace.

"If you want to eat me, I’m afraid you’ll choke," Xu Nian said coldly.

The Sword Qi from the King Jing Sword was abundant, soaring into the sky, ready to slay in all directions.

"Human, since you refuse, I will have to deal with you myself." The True Dragon’s voice echoed, and the next moment, its dragon claws came reaching for Xu Nian.

The dragon claws were entwined with powerful lightning.

Brimming with the threat of destruction, they came fiercely at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian looked at the dragon claws blotting out the sky and sun, his gaze determined, without a hint of evasion.

"Die!"

The giant dragon claw was about to clutch Xu Nian.

Yet in the next moment, Xu Nian mysteriously vanished.

"Huh?" The giant dragon was clearly taken aback, then looked toward Xu Nian.

It couldn’t understand how Xu Nian had suddenly disappeared.

"Buzz!"

But at this moment, a sharp sword light suddenly crossed its eyes.

"Roar!"

The True Dragon let out a wailing roar.

One of its dragon eyes had been slashed blind by Xu Nian’s Sword Radiance.

Seeing he had succeeded, Xu Nian also smiled.

"Die for me!"

The dragon raged, its claws swinging at Xu Nian again.

Xu Nian’s form vanished once more, the claws hitting only air.

Lightning exploded, tearing the space apart.

Xu Nian repeated his method, appearing on the other side of the dragon, his sharp sword slashing toward the True Dragon’s other eye.

The sword light was sharp, like a cold gleam.

The giant dragon seemed prepared this time, tilting its head to let the sword light slice its cheek.

The scale armor exploded, leaving a sword mark.

However, it didn’t blind the True Dragon’s eye.

"It actually dodged," Xu Nian thought, feeling tense; he hadn’t expected the True Dragon to be on its guard.

"Courting death!"

The True Dragon shouted, lightning flickering from its mouth, gathering into a Thunderclap Energy Ball.

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, the True Dragon transformed the energy into a thunderous beam aimed at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was shocked, and immediately blood-colored Dragon Scale Armor appeared on his body.

His form fled into the Void, teleporting elsewhere in an instant.

But just as Xu Nian reappeared, he was met with a dragon tail.

"Puff!"

Xu Nian spat blood, crashing into a distant mountain which exploded.

The earth roared!

Outside Shendang Mountain, Chu Xiong and the others frowned.

This roar, this shaking, it seemed the True Dragon was truly enraged.

They wondered if Xu Nian could withstand it?

Having just recovered, Lin Hao’s face showed a mocking smile upon hearing the tremors.
