Chapter 154: The enlightened Lotus - 15
The ground beneath them trembled as the dragon prepared to launch its attack.
Splash! Splash!
The celestial dragon with its long body emerged out of the deep pond while it began to spray its poison breath into every direction.
Master Zuan’s eyes narrowed as he sensed the imminent danger from poison mist that was spreading rapidly, this thing needed to be taken care of immediately.
” ugh… Patriarchs, we must act now if we are to survive. Our combined strength is the only way to defeat this beast, don’t be stubborn at the hands of death, ” he uttered while he tried to create an aura barrier to protect himself from the poison.
However, before the patriarchs could respond,
Swish! Swoosh!
the dragon unleashed a torrent of poisonous green flames, scorching the earth and sending waves of toxic energy through the air.The cultivators quickly dispersed, using their Qi defence techniques to shield themselves from the deadly assault.
“Form a big anti-material barrier!!!” Patriarch Yun commanded with his voice booming with authority, while a drop of sweat slides through his back.
” Good idea! ”
” Sounds great!!! ”
The other patriarchs and their followers swiftly moved into formation, creating a protective shield of spiritual energy to defend against the dragon’s attack.
Instantly a large circle appeared with the pattern of a star, which removed the poison mist, turning it into nothingness.
Seeing this,
Dragon took a second to realize that they have created an anti-material array which means his poison mist and poison flames won’t work.
As long as its attack reaches the array it will vanish.
However, it wasn’t a huge drawback for the dragon since many people would have stood still and maintained the array, which meant powerful figures like Master Zuan, patriarch Chu, and Patriarch Yun were out of battle .
Bai Lung, observing from the sidelines, knew that this was his moment.
The chaos and confusion provided the perfect cover for him to make his move since Dragon and others were busy.
He activated his formless shadow art, enhancing his speed and agility, and stealthily approached the center of the conflict in shadow from trying to steal the enlightened lotus.
‘ Fuck it… As soon as I grab it, I will leave immediately, ‘ Bai Lung said to himself.
As he moved closer, he overheard the conversation between the leaders of the sects and families.
They were strategizing their next moves and attacking the dragon, but Bai Lung’s focus was on the Enlightened Lotus.
Roarrrr!!!!
Just as Bai Lung was about to steal the lotus and grab it, a powerful presence stopped him in his tracks.
A figure clad in white robes appeared before him, his aura radiating a serene yet overwhelming power.
It was Elder Ming of the Mind TunYi Sect.
” You are two thousand years too young to steal here… do you really think you can claim the Enlightened Lotus so easily?” Elder Ming’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable weight of authority and sharpness.
Bai Lung couldn’t back down now, ” Don’t make me make a move, or else even Yama will fail to recognize you. The lotus belongs to me, ”
Elder Ming’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a glint of hatred and anger in his eyes. ” quite the stubborn… Very well. Let us see if you have the strength to back up your words, ”
Before Bai Lung could react, Elder Ming raised his hand, and a powerful wave of mental energy crashed into him, testing his resolve and strength.
….
At the same time,
Roarrrr!
The dragon let out another earth-shattering roar, its attention was now fully focused on the Bai Lung and Elder Ming who were near enlightened lotus.
The ground shook violently, and the air was thick with the tension causing Elder Ming and Bai Lung to gulp.
Since both of them were outside the protective array, The dragon opened its mouth wide and unleashed another breath of poison mist.
‘ Not Good! ‘ Bai Lung jumped backward while he instantly told the system to use Spiritual Being – Trial Card.

” Oh No! The senior is in trouble, ” Mu Hee who was still on the sidelines said while looking at the Bai Lung who was completely covered in a green smoke or poison mist.
She clenched her fist while her eyes narrowed down hoping he was fine.
” Arghhhhhh~ ” Elder Ming screamed in horror even though he was using his Profound Qi to protect himself. He was covered in two layers of barrier, the first one being golden and the second one being light blue.
Yet, the poison mist absolutely shredded through his barriers while its acidic properties burned Elder Ming’s skin with unimaginable pain.
The sight of Elder Ming writhing in agony sent a shockwave through the onlookers.
The formidable elder, known for his impenetrable defenses, was now succumbing to the dragon’s deadly poison.
Bai Lung, on the other hand, had activated the Spiritual Being – Trial Card.
His body glowed with a profound blue light as he transformed into a being of pure spiritual energy, with his regular body covered in a deep blue aura.
The poison mist, which had been a death sentence for Elder Ming and others, now passed through Bai Lung without causing any harm.
The poison couldn’t simply touch him not burn his skin.
Bai Lung felt a surge of power and clarity.
The world around him seemed to slow down, and he could see the intricate web of energy that connected everything in the valley.
Previously, Bai Lung’s goal was to avoid conflict but now, since he has activated the trial card, he has to fight against all, including Bai Huan who is still hidden.
For him, killing all of them works well as he doesn’t want to leave trouble for the future.
Swooosh~ Swooosh~
A burst of aura was released around his body while he pointed his fingers at the sky.
” Fall! “
