The Dragon race was innately powerful. Their divine sense and five senses were far superior to that of ordinary lifeforms. As a pure-blooded Dragon, Ao Lei's divine sense and five senses were even more sensitive. After advancing to the Sage level, all his senses had improved by leaps and bounds.
What he saw and heard would not be blinded by external techniques.
Ao Lei had never thought that his senses would be taken away by external forces. But at this moment, he really felt like he had fallen into an abyss. His eyes could not see, his ears could not hear, and his body could not feel. His powerful divine sense that could roam billions of miles was also completely suppressed.
Only when he could not see would he feel that his surroundings were pitch-black. Only when he could not hear would he feel that the world was abnormally quiet. He could not even feel his own existence, which was why he felt like he had fallen into an abyss. As for that cold feeling, it was completely an instinctive fear after all his senses were taken away. It was not true coldness.
"It must be Gao Zhengyang's secret mind technique. That's why I can bypass the layers of defenses and go straight to my heart."
With the deep foundation of the Dragon race, Ao Lei quickly realized that he had clearly been hit by Gao Zhengyang's secret technique. His mind was being controlled, which was why he felt all his senses being taken away.
The mind was the core consciousness of all intelligent lifeforms, not the blood supply organ of the human race. No matter how Ao Lei changed his form, his core consciousness would condense into a ball, which was the so-called heart.
All of Ao Lei's consciousness, emotions, and intelligence were condensed in his heart. All of his control over his body was also ordered by his heart.
Thus, when his mind was restricted by the secret technique, all of Ao Lei's senses were cut off, which resulted in his current state.
Ao Lei was not proficient in mind techniques, but he knew that he could not hesitate any longer. He immediately activated his mind without any regard for anything else.
With a huge boom, the endless abyss that enveloped Ao Lei suddenly shattered. All the colors, sounds, and Yuan Qi fluctuations instantly surged into Ao Lei's heart.
Ao Lei could not feel happy after breaking free from the endless abyss that was restricting his mind. This was because Gao Zhengyang's Dragon King Halberd had already arrived in front of him.
The instantaneous change was abnormally complicated, but in reality, it was abnormally short. Ao Lei almost immediately broke free from the mind technique's restriction.
But in that short, immeasurable amount of time, Gao Zhengyang's Dragon King Halberd broke through all the defenses and pierced into Ao Lei's forehead.
The powerful dragon soul in Ao Lei's sea of consciousness also felt the danger of destruction. However, there was no way for him to avoid the Dragon King's Halberd.
Helpless, Ao Lei could only urge the Thunder Dragon Saint Soul to fly out and tangle with the Dragon King's Halberd, hoping to buy himself some time.
Even if the Saint Soul was destroyed, as long as the Saint Core was preserved, there would be a chance of resurrection.
The azure Thunder Dragon Saint Soul was still holding onto the Lightning Fixing Needle. It ferociously pounced on the sharp blade of the halberd, but it was broken by the incomparably vigorous killing intent of the halberd blade. The majestic Thunder Dragon suddenly disintegrated into thousands of streams of light, and the Lightning Fixing Needle was also blown away by the halberd blade.
The destruction of his Saint Soul also caused Ao Lei to suffer heavy injuries. Under the influence of his aura, the Saint Core in his chest also started to vibrate. Ao Lei could already feel the darkness and coldness of death, but he was powerless to react.
He could only use his divine sense to roar, "The one who killed me is Gao Zhengyang!" His divine sense, which was filled with resentment, activated a mark, and turned into a beam of light that shot into the sky.
Gao Zhengyang also noticed that there was something wrong with that light, but Ao Lei's 10,000-year cultivation was terrifying. He had used the Flower Pinching Finger Secret Technique to break Ao Lei's spirit, which allowed him to seize this opportunity. How could he have the time to pay attention to that beam of light that didn't affect the overall situation?
Using the Dragon King's Everlasting Sword to the extreme, he used the Dragon King's Halberd as a sword and stabbed nine times in a flash.
The dragon scales on Ao Lei's chest were incomparably tough, and he also had a heart-protecting treasure mirror. But under the peerless Dragon King's Halberd, all his defenses were forcibly pierced through.
The incomparably bright halberd blade flickered, and Ao Lei's Saint Core was cut into pieces. Nine consecutive sword intents that could cut through everything also extinguished Ao Lei's Saint Core.
Ao Lei was stunned, and the light in his azure dragon eyes slowly dissipated, becoming dim and lifeless. He stared blankly at Gao Zhengyang, his pair of dragon claws powerlessly holding onto the Dragon King's Halberd.
Gao Zhengyang calmly looked at Ao Lei and said, "You lost."
Although Ao Lei was also incomparably arrogant, he also had a heroic spirit. This time, he was calm and unperturbed. "I lost."
After pausing for a while, he said, "You're actually a Heart Saint, and you even learned the Maha Seal and Flower Pinching Finger. Those baldies outside actually didn't say a word. They are vicious."
Ao Lei was really somewhat unwilling. If he knew that Gao Zhengyang was a Heart Saint, he wouldn't have imagined using the Aurora Illusory Body to grind him to death. But this was battle, especially when facing a peerless expert like Gao Zhengyang, he definitely couldn't make any mistakes.
Gao Zhengyang nodded and said, "Those fellows outside did indeed have malicious intentions, and they wanted us to die together. Unfortunately … "
"Your Heart Saint has reached the consummate stage, and you've merged your Yuan Qi, Divine Soul, and body into one. This kind of cultivation is indeed at the peak of the Sage level. It's not unjust for me to lose." Ao Lei sighed.
In order to kill Ao Lei, Gao Zhengyang also did his best. First, he used the Flower Pinching Finger to cut off all of Ao Lei's senses, and then he used the Dragon King's Halberd, bursting out all of his Yuan Qi and physical strength. Only such tyrannical power could instantly kill the incomparably powerful Ao Lei. But this also allowed Ao Lei to clearly see the depth of Gao Zhengyang's power.
There was no need for Gao Zhengyang to deny it now. He praised, "Good eyesight."
Ao Lei shook his head. "I originally thought that I would become the master of this era. Only now do I realize that everything was just an illusion."
Gao Zhengyang didn't say anything. The other party was about to die, there was no point in mocking him anymore. Moreover, with Ao Lei's talent and power, if he hadn't met him, he could have swept through the human world. In the future, advancing to the Divine level was also a matter of course. In the future, becoming a Divine King, or even a Supreme Divine Master was not a delusion.
Unfortunately, Ao Lei's life was bitter, and he insisted on fighting him head-on.
Ao Lei looked at Gao Zhengyang, feeling both envious and resentful. As he thought about it, he suddenly came up with an idea.
As the saying goes, a centipede dies but doesn't fall down. Not to mention the powerful Dragon Race. Although his Saint Core was broken and his vitality was gone, the blood essence and vitality that he had accumulated for ten thousand years were still there. His Divine Soul could also maintain some power.
Ao Lei might be dying now, but if Gao Zhengyang didn't care, he could still run out and kill a few Sages from the Western Main Altar. This was also because the difference in power between them was too great. They were not on the same level at all.
If Ao Lei wanted to, he could detonate his Essence and self-destruct. Although he couldn't hurt Gao Zhengyang, he could make sure that he wouldn't get anything. But now, he changed his mind. Since he was going to die, he might as well play something big!
"Gao Zhengyang, the Nine Needles of Primordial Stability is just a replica, do you know that?"
Ao Lei asked.
Gao Zhengyang was a little puzzled. Ao Lei was about to die, but he still had the mood to chat with him. He didn't know what he was up to. Could it be that he wanted to buy time and wait for the Dragon Race to take revenge for him? But in the human world. It was useless no matter who came!
Gao Zhengyang was fearless. Ao Lei could talk nonsense if he wanted to. He said, "Ao Zhen told me about this."
"Although the Nine Needles of Primordial Stability is a replica, it has its own wonders."
Ao Lei said, "Back then, the Nine Needles of Primordial Stability locked the nine dragons separately. One was to train us, and the other was to feed the nine dragons' Essence Blood to the Nine Needles. That's why the Dragon King Halberd in your hand is so powerful. Otherwise, how could the Dragon King Divine Armor that I refined for ten thousand years be broken by you! "
Gao Zhengyang didn't believe it. He had the power of four Sages combined. There was no divine weapon in this world that couldn't be broken. Ao Lei was too arrogant to attribute it to the Dragon King Halberd. But Ao Lei was about to die, and Gao Zhengyang didn't want to argue with him. He couldn't do it all over again, right?
Ao Lei could also see that Gao Zhengyang didn't believe it. He said proudly, "To be honest, the Dragon Race rules over the world. Why would they care about the life and death of the human world? The Nine Needles of Primordial Stability is said to seal the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, but in fact, it's using the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to wash and refine the Primordial Stability Needles. Coupled with the True Dragon's Essence Blood, it has such power after thousands of years. "
This reason made sense. Gao Zhengyang also felt that the Dragon Race wouldn't be so free to specially run over to seal off the human world's Essence Qi.
The human world was the center of the myriad worlds. The Essence Qi laws were the strictest. Why would they need the Dragon Race to meddle?
However, Ao Lei was about to die. Why would he be kind enough to tell him these secrets? Gao Zhengyang was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what Ao Lei was up to.
Ao Lei continued, "It's just that, the Primordial Stability Needle is also just an ordinary divine weapon. But as long as you fuse the souls and essence blood of nine divine dragons, then combine the nine needles into one, you can refine a true Lesser Primordial Stability Needle. The Primordial Stability Needle can stabilize the myriad worlds. It's a supreme divine weapon since the world's creation. Even a Divine Lord is far from comparable to the Primordial Stability Needle. Even if the Lesser Primordial Stability Needle only has one-ten-thousandth of its power, it can also slay gods and slay demons with ease. "
Gao Zhengyang's eyes widened. "Fusing the souls and essence blood of nine divine dragons, is your Dragon Race crazy? Aren't you looking for trouble?"
Ao Lei looked at Gao Zhengyang in disdain and said, "My Dragon Race roams the myriad worlds. Why would we be afraid of foreign enemies! If you really have the ability to kill nine divine dragons to refine the Lesser Primordial Stability Needle, that's your ability. But do you dare? "
Although Gao Zhengyang was incomparably confident, he didn't dare to answer this question casually. It was easy to boast, but to refine the Lesser Primordial Stability Needle, one had to kill nine divine dragons. This was definitely the rhythm of fighting to the death with the Dragon Race.
Not to mention a mere Sage, even a Divine Lord would have to consider carefully if it was worth it. Moreover, a Divine Lord would be of no use to the Lesser Primordial Stability Needle. Those who really needed the Lesser Primordial Stability Needle would definitely not be able to withstand the Dragon Race's revenge.
At the thought of this, Gao Zhengyang suddenly understood. Although the Primordial Stability Nine Needles were a trap, it was nothing to the Dragon Race. However, Ao Lei definitely wanted to push him to jump into this huge pit by saying so much to him!
After pondering for a while, Gao Zhengyang said, "I won't purposely slaughter the Dragon Race to refine the Lesser Primordial Stability Needle. But if there are dragons who don't know what's good for them and insist on becoming enemies with me, I won't be polite. "
Ao Lei smiled at Gao Zhengyang and said, "Since I'm going to die, I'll fulfill your wish this time, how about it?"
Gao Zhengyang laughed heartily and said, "I couldn't ask for more!" The pit that Ao Lei dug was indeed deep enough, but he was willing to jump into it. Since he had already killed them, there was no point in arguing that he was innocent.
"How dare you!"
Ao Lei was also delighted. He immediately burned his blood essence and essence energy, pouring all of his energy into the Lightning Fixing Needle.
He had been refining the Lightning Fixing Needle for thousands of years and was just a step away from completely refining it. At this moment, he was consuming the blood essence and essence energy that he had accumulated for ten thousand years.
Amidst the dazzling blue electric light, the Lightning Fixing Needle quickly twisted and deformed, quickly turning into the appearance of a Lightning Dragon with scales and horns.
This tiny lightning dragon silently roared at the sky and suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning that entered the Dragon Emperor Halberd.
Gao Zhengyang felt the Dragon Emperor Halberd in his hand sink. The blue lightning on its surface swam and quickly melted into the Dragon Emperor Halberd, disappearing without a trace.
The original Dragon Emperor Halberd became heavier, and the halberd blade also became longer, looking even more ferocious. The dark gold dragon on the dark gold halberd hilt had a trace of dark blue lightning coiled around it. The dazzling halberd blade also had an additional trace of dark blue lightning that was as thin as a hair. As the lightning flashed, it also made the snow-white halberd blade seem a bit more unfathomable.
The Dragon Emperor Halberd that had fused with the Lightning Fixing Needle looked even more eye-catching than before. It also had a bit more ostentatious aura of killing gods and demons.
And this was only the most superficial change. Inside the Dragon Emperor Halberd, there was an earth-shattering change.
The fusion of the Lightning Fixing Needle and the original Dragon Emperor Halberd blended perfectly, as if they were originally one.
The nine Lightning Fixing Needles merged into one, causing the Dragon Emperor Halberd's weight to reach 108,000 kilograms. A divine weapon of this weight was extremely rare even in the myriad worlds. In the mortal world, it was number one. No divine weapon could compare to it.
The increase in weight also directly increased the Dragon Emperor Halberd's lethality. The nine needles merging into one also allowed the Dragon Emperor Halberd to truly have the power to break all techniques in the world. The fusion of the lightning dragon's divine soul and blood essence gave the Dragon Emperor Halberd the divine might to control lightning.
As Gao Zhengyang held the Dragon Emperor Halberd, he felt as if he was holding a scepter that commanded lightning, becoming a god of lightning. With a thought, endless lightning would bow and obey his orders.
Although Gao Zhengyang did not know lightning techniques, with the Dragon Emperor Halberd, he could compete with all the Sage level experts of lightning techniques in the world. Of course, he basically could not use the Dragon Emperor Halberd to activate lightning techniques.
At his level of martial arts, a thought could create thousands of changes. It was even faster and more wondrous than spiritual techniques. If he wanted to, he could even fuse martial arts and martial arts into one, fusing martial arts and magical arts together. Moreover, the lightning technique on the Dragon Emperor Halberd was not meant to be used in this way.
With the endless power of lightning, the Dragon Emperor Halberd was almost unaffected by the weight, and its speed could be increased to the extreme. Just this point alone was incomparably precious. However, Ao Lei's lightning power was extremely profound. Gao Zhengyang needed time to truly master the Dragon Emperor Halberd's power.
Gao Zhengyang casually brandished the Dragon King Halberd, and the halberd blade stabbed out a thousand and eight hundred times. The divine light from the consecutive stabs converged into a dazzling halo in the sky.
The halo shone and shrank again, forming a straight beam of light that pierced through the Heavenly Dragon Pond's demon suppression formation.
Gao Zhengyang's attack also triggered a counterattack from the formation. Golden runes appeared in the void and fell from the sky like layers upon layers of light nets.
Giant figures of gods and Buddhas also appeared.
Grand Venerable Kasyapa, who had been waiting outside, suddenly became nervous. Judging from the sharp aura that broke the formation, it must be Gao Zhengyang! Had the battle inside ended?
While Kasyapa was hesitating whether to activate the formation or not, the Heavenly Dragon Pond suddenly shone brightly and the layers of light nets shattered soundlessly.
Gao Zhengyang flew into the air and pointed with the Dragon Emperor Halberd. The giant golden Buddha in the sky was immediately destroyed.
Kasyapa saw clearly that the Buddha was the core of the formation, the Vajra Buddha King. Once this Buddha image was broken, this Demon Subduing Formation would not be able to be activated in a short period of time.
To Kasyapa's shock, Gao Zhengyang didn't seem to be injured. In fact, his martial arts were even more domineering than before! This made Kasyapa lose the courage to attack.
A warm smile appeared on his chubby face. "Congratulations, Sect Leader Gao. You've advanced to the next level."
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Kasyapa and said with a half-smile, "Sect Master Gao, if you don't attack now, I'll be leaving."
Kasyapa's smile froze, then he smiled wryly. "Sect Master Gao, we share the same origin. We were just sparring earlier. Please don't misunderstand … "
Gao Zhengyang laughed. "As expected of a great venerable, you're broad-minded. That's fine as well. We're both disciples of the Buddhist Sect, and we ought to help each other during these chaotic times. "
"You're right, Sect Master Gao. Why don't we sit down and discuss an alliance …"
Losing the courage to attack, Kasyapa let go of his grudge and wanted to form an official alliance with Gao Zhengyang. If he could befriend such a peerless expert, it would be a great help to him.
Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "I'm in a hurry and don't have time to talk about this. Give me a core brand of your Vairocana formation. I'll come back when I have time. "
Kasyapa hesitated. The Vairocana Formation was extremely important. It was a locator formation for the headquarters to travel through the void. If he gave the core brand to Gao Zhengyang, he could travel through the void and enter the headquarters at any time. It was like giving Gao Zhengyang the key to his own door.
But then again, the East Province and West Buddhism were separated by billions of miles. This was the only way they could travel through the void. It was humiliating to give the core brand to Gao Zhengyang, but Gao Zhengyang had beaten them to a pulp. No one in the temple was a match for him. They had no choice but to accept their fate.
After some consideration, Kasyapa smiled wryly. "I can give you the brand, but please don't let anyone else use it."
"Of course."
Gao Zhengyang didn't think much of the West's headquarters, but it was a colossus for the East Province. Of course, he wouldn't let anyone come here.
When Kasyapa heard this, he happily handed the brand to Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang nodded. "Until we meet again, Great Venerable."
"Farewell, Sect Leader Gao. I look forward to your arrival." Kasyapa put down his pride and spoke very respectfully.
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Kinnara, who was hiding behind him. He smiled at her and waved the Blood God Flag, soaring into the sky.
After watching Gao Zhengyang fly out of the Great Demon Subduing Formation, Emperor Shi walked over to Kasyapa and said gloomily, "Venerable, you're letting a tiger return to the mountains!"
The Guardian Deity also ran over and said resentfully, "My sect's Guardian Deity Saber is still in his hands. How could you let him go? Even with the 108 Great Demon Subduing Formations, we still can't kill him! "
Kasyapa was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something. He looked up and saw a huge black bird flying over from the distance.
When the huge bird spread its wings, it looked like dark clouds covering the sky. Just looking at its mighty figure made his heart clench.
"Sage-grade Heavenly Demons!" Emperor Shi exclaimed.
"One, two, three … Seven Sage-grade Heavenly Demons!"
The Guardian Deity's face, which was as rigid as a bronze statue, was also filled with shock. The aura of such a powerful Sage-grade Heavenly Demon made him feel uneasy even through the Great Demon Subduing Formation.
Kinnara and the others also widened their eyes. What a coincidence! Could the seven Demon Sages have come to cause trouble for Gao Zhengyang?
While many powerhouses were bewildered, they saw the seven Demon Saints in the air bow to Gao Zhengyang together, addressing him as Master.
