The universe was vast and boundless. No one knew how big it was or how far it was. There were countless continents, stars, worlds, mystic realms, and so on. The Nine Heavens Imperial Court was only on one of the continents.
The continent where the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was located was called Heaven Continent. Heaven Continent was a collective name. It was formed by a central continent and many broken continents. Those broken continents were like islands.
For example, the continents where the five mystic realms under the direct management of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court were located were one of the many broken islands.
The mission that Chen Zongsan chose was to kill a demonic dragon that was causing trouble. It was located on one of the islands.
With the help of the realm gate of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, Chen Zong directly appeared on that island. This island was called Demonic Dragon Island. The Demonic Dragon Clan lived on the island.
Why did this mission require him to kill one of the demonic dragons?
Because that demonic dragon had left Demonic Dragon Island and entered other islands. It massacred and devoured the Originals, causing shocking casualties. After that, it escaped very cleverly and evaded the pursuit, returning to Demonic Dragon Island.
The Demonic Dragon Clan on Demonic Dragon Island was not a weak demonic beast clan. There were even powerful Demonic Dragons of the Fourth and Fifth Realms, as well as many Third Realms.
Of course, if the experts of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court were to attack, it would not be a problem to kill the entire Demonic Dragon Clan, let alone the escaping demonic dragon. However, the experts of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court did not do so. Instead, they marked that demonic dragon and had an agreement with the Demonic Dragon Clan. The marked demonic dragon would be the mission of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
The level of the marked demonic dragon would be the level of the mission, and the person who accepted the mission would be of the same level.
This level referred to the major realms, such as the Divine Aspect Realm. It did not matter if it was a low-level or peak-level Divine Aspect Realm cultivator.
As long as the demonic dragon was marked and assigned a mission, even if the demonic dragon above the level knew about it, they could not interfere. Once they did, the experts of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court would also attack and cause great losses to the Demonic Dragon Clan.
Although the Demonic Dragon Clan was not weak, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was stronger. It was the overlord of Heaven Continent, the only overlord.
For this mission, killing the marked Demonic Dragon shouldn't be too difficult. The difficult part was that there might be other Demonic Dragons interfering, hindering him, or even chasing after him.
Although there was an agreement that demonic dragons who were beyond the target of the mission could not use their own power to interfere, other demonic dragons who were at the same level as the mission were not restricted.
In other words, Chen Zong's mission target was a Third Realm demonic dragon. If he wanted to kill that demonic dragon, there was a high chance that he would be obstructed or surrounded by even more Third Realm demonic dragons.
However, Chen Zong was not afraid.
It was impossible for the Nine Heavens Imperial Court to issue a sure-death mission. Whether or not one could complete it would depend on one's own capabilities and how one went about it.
Sometimes, it was not because the target was too strong, but because other factors interfered.
Back then, when Chen Zong had chosen this mission, the deacon had told him that someone had already accepted this mission and failed it. This was a total of two times.
After accepting the mission, Chen Zong received a guide that allowed him to sense the location and aura of the target dragon. Then, he could find it and kill it.
Following the guide, Chen Zong moved quickly on Demonic Dragon Island and approached his target.
Before long, Chen Zong found his target demonic dragon in a pool.
The Demonic Dragon Clan had huge bodies and thick legs. However, their forelimbs were relatively short and slender. They had wings on their backs and long necks. Their bodies were covered in greenish-black scales. Their eyes were fierce, and their aura was extremely ferocious.
This demonic dragon was playing with two female dragons in the pool. Its eyes widened at Chen Zong's appearance.
"An Origin Tribesman?"
"No, no, you don't have silver hair and double pupils. You're not an Origin Tribesman. Then, what race are you?"
Demonic Dragons were intelligent lifeforms. Although they were not in human form, they could still speak human language. What they spoke was the common language.
"Human," Chen Zong replied unhurriedly.
"Human. Let me think. I think I've heard of it before." That demonic dragon was surrounded by a ferocious aura. It was not afraid at all. Its tail teased the two female dragons while it stared at Chen Zong with fierce eyes, as if it wanted to see through Chen Zong. "I remember now. You're a disciple of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, right? You're from a weak race that came from the Void. Looking at you, you're here to complete the Nine Heavens Imperial Court's mission to kill me?"
This demonic dragon naturally knew what it had done and that it had been marked. Of course, it did not become a target. However, even the Demonic Dragon King of its race could not remove the mark on its body.
What should it do then?
Xiao Chen could only passively accept it and properly enjoy it. It was impossible for him to leave Fiendish Dragon Island and go to other islands to hunt and eat. He could only stay on Fiendish Dragon Island and play some passionate games with the little female dragons.
Actually, in the beginning, this demonic dragon was terrified when it fled back to Demonic Dragon Island after committing a crime and was marked by the experts of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
However, the first disciple who came to carry out the mission failed. He was directly injured by it and fled in a panic. He never came back again, as if he had given up on the mission.
After some time, another disciple of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court came to carry out the mission. In the end, he was eaten by it.
Since then, the demonic dragon was no longer afraid.
Now, the third disciple had come, and it was a human. The demonic dragon was even less worried.
"What does a human taste like? I haven't tasted it yet. You can give me a taste." The demonic dragon laughed.
"Is that so? Then let's see if you have such good teeth." Chen Zong smiled slightly, but he did not have any intention of looking down on the other party.
This was because the demonic dragon's aura was extremely terrifying and ferocious. The threat it brought to him was very obvious.
However, since he was here, he had to give it a try no matter what. Even if he could not defeat it, he would know how strong the other party was.
Without hesitation, Chen Zong immediately unsheathed his sword and slashed it through the air.
This slash was not Ao Wu. It was just a swordsmanship, but it burst forth with extremely shocking power.
With Chen Zong's current cultivation and realm, the power of a casual slash was far greater than when he was in the Spirit Condensation Realm.
"Child's play." The demonic dragon sneered and suddenly swung its tail. It broke through the air like lightning, but also like a long spear. Its power was extremely shocking.
The sword light was shattered in an instant. The tail slashed through the air with extremely shocking power, as if it was going to penetrate Chen Zong's body.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong's body was directly penetrated. However, that was just an afterimage. Chen Zong had already dodged it. He appeared beside the demonic dragon and slashed with his sword again.
This slash was even more powerful.
However, the demonic dragon's reaction speed was extremely fast. As it turned around, its seemingly short and slender forelimbs instantly extended and grabbed at the air. It tore the void apart, leaving behind streaks of scars. At the same time, its tail suddenly turned. It was as nimble as a whip as it tore through the air and attacked from both sides.
Chen Zong's expression was solemn. He was completely locked on and could not avoid it.
"Divine Wind Slash!" He shouted in a low voice. A strong wind blew in an instant and merged into the sword. It slashed through the air.
The green sword light was dazzling and had an extremely domineering and fierce aura. As soon as it appeared, it seemed that nothing in the world could block its slash.
This slash was created by Chen Zong with the Sword Principle as the core and the Wind Slash as the prototype. He had continuously comprehended and merged more mysteries of swordsmanship. He had also analyzed and merged the mysteries of the Sword Principle Ao Wu that he had selected from the Taoist Alliance.
This slash was a third-level Ao Wu.
A second-level Ao Wu was twice as powerful as a first-level Ao Wu. A third-level Ao Wu was twice as powerful as a second-level Ao Wu.
This slash immediately made the demonic dragon feel extremely threatened. It was sure that its scales could not withstand this slash. Once it was hit, it would most likely be torn apart and injured.
However, the demonic dragon's body was very big. It could not dodge in time. It could only circulate its strength and condense it on its scales to resist this slash. At the same time, its tail exploded with an even faster speed.
The extremely domineering green sword light slashed down and directly slashed the demonic dragon's scales. A series of sparks flew out from the collision. However, the scales were also split open. A crack appeared and dark red blood seeped out.
The tail arrived and pierced through Chen Zong again. However, Chen Zong dodged it at an astonishing speed.
The demonic dragon's attack missed. It suddenly flapped its wings and immediately soared into the sky. When it was a hundred meters above the ground, it opened its mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark green flames that had a strong sour smell. The flames were extremely sour and seemed to contain an astonishingly strong poison. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding vegetation quickly withered.
Chen Zong's expression changed involuntarily. His Primordial Soul Dharma Power was instantly stimulated and his strength increased greatly. The sword light flashed and immediately stirred up a violent gust of wind. The wind was like a whirlwind that circled the surroundings. It directly blocked the dark green flames that were spraying down from the sky like a waterfall.
The wind swept and roared endlessly. However, it was continuously burned by the dark green flames. However, it still managed to block the dark green flames for a moment, giving Chen Zong a chance to escape.
The sword light pierced through the air and with extreme power, it instantly reached the demonic dragon.
The Extremity of Wind!
The sword pierced through the air at an astonishingly fast speed.
In the Sword Palace of the Central Hall of the Divine Martial Hall, Chen Zong's three years of enlightenment had been very impressive. His Ao Wu had been constantly improving and had reached the third level.
This sword was even faster. It was like a green light that carried an unparalleled sharpness. It pierced through the sky and pierced through the demonic dragon's scales, injuring it once again.
The third sword!
The sound of the sword rang out. It was like a gentle breeze singing. It slowly spread out and filled the surroundings. It was like a gentle breeze singing and seemed to be whispering something into the demonic dragon's ears. When the sound reached the demonic dragon's ears, it was like a sudden explosion of needles that fiercely pierced the Divine Will.
The demonic dragon only felt an indescribable stabbing pain in its head. It was as if a sharp sword had pierced into the Divine Will and ruthlessly tore it apart. The moment of intense pain caused the demonic dragon to scream uncontrollably.
Whistling of the Wind!
Although the Ao Wu that attacked with the Divine Will was at the third level like the other Ao Wu, its power was extremely terrifying. For opponents whose Divine Will was not strong enough, the power of this sword was not inferior to that of a fourth level Ao Wu.
Under the attack of the Divine Will, the demonic dragon was in excruciating pain and was momentarily dazed.
Mark of Wind!
The sword slashed out, cutting through the void with unparalleled sharpness.
