Before Pikachu could react, Ding Ning had already put him into the pet space. Then, following the powerful suction force from the lake's surface, Pikachu casually threw out a cylindrical object, then flew into the distance without looking back.
The Mountain River Tortoise floated in the air with a dumbfounded expression. What's going on? Wasn't the battle going well? Why did he run away just like that?
But in the next moment, its expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, it stretched out its claws and tore the space apart, then plunged into it.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion rang out, and a terrifying shockwave spread out in all directions. The air was instantly vaporized, and densely packed cracks appeared in the space.
The entire Langya Boundary was shaking crazily as if it was the end of the world. Terrifying cracks appeared on the ground, volcanoes erupted, and scorching lava flowed like floodwaters. Countless native creatures were fleeing in all directions, their faces pale with fright.
Roar!
The furious dragon river let out a crazy roar. A huge headless water dragon leaped out of the river's surface and flew into the sky, desperately struggling to fly towards the Dragon Head Lake. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the headless water dragon's limbs and body were actually bound by densely packed divine chains of order, preventing it from leaving the river's surface.
But at this moment, the headless water dragon seemed to have gone mad. It struggled with all its might, and with a clang, it actually broke off more than half of the divine chains of order, desperately trying to fly towards the Dragon Head Lake.
Just as the headless water dragon was about to break free, the stone steles lit up with rune chains again. The flickering runes flickered, and the shadows of countless immortal corpses appeared. They linked up in the air and quickly formed a strange transparent seal, which fiercely imprinted on the headless water dragon's body, pressing it into the bottom of the river with the weight of Mount Tai.
Huge waves surged on the river's surface, and the headless water dragon let out an unwilling roar, which lasted for a long time.
"Cough, cough!"
The ashen-faced Mountain River Tortoise fell out of the crack in the space and landed on the ground with a thud. Two puffs of black smoke came out of its nostrils, and its face was full of depression. It muttered in a low voice, "Damn it, I actually got tricked by this kid. Luckily, I have thick skin and flesh, or else I'd be dead. But, what method did this kid use? How could it be so powerful?"
How could it know that Ding Ning was afraid that he would not be able to kill the Primordial Azure Dragon, so this time, he had put in a lot of effort. He had inscribed a total of five Five Elements Divine Talismans, and their power was definitely far beyond his imagination. Even if it was an expert at the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage, under the self-detonation of these five Divine Talismans, even if he did not die, he would still be heavily injured.
Ding Ning himself wasn't much better off. Due to a serious miscalculation of the power of the Five Elements Divine Talismans, he was also affected by the shockwave of the explosion. All of his internal organs were severely shaken, and like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying who knew how far away. He crazily vomited blood, and a rain of blood sprinkled down from the sky.
With a plop, he finally fell heavily into the Furious Dragon River. As if his entire body had collapsed, he couldn't even move a finger, and could only drift along with the current, floating in the river. He didn't dare to dive to the bottom of the river, because who knew if the headless corpse of the Primordial Azure Dragon would know that he was the one who blew up the dragon's head, and come looking for him to play with its life.
After waiting for a long time, even though the river water was turbulent, and the headless water dragon let out waves of unwilling roars, it still didn't resurface. Only then did he feel slightly relieved, and hurriedly swallowed medicinal pellets to heal his injuries.
Even though Earth Grade medicinal pellets had no effect on his injuries, it was still better than nothing, and it was still better than letting his injuries worsen.
Right now, it was difficult for him to even move a finger, so naturally he didn't dare to absorb the natural energy to heal his injuries. If by any chance he alarmed the headless water dragon, he would be dead for sure.
After floating for a long time, Ding Ning recalled the terrifying power released by the Five Elements Divine Talisman, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, he wasn't at the center of the explosion, or else he would definitely be dead by now.
What a joke, the Furious Dragon River was over a hundred miles away from the Dragon Head Lake. He was only hit by the shockwave of the explosion, yet he was still sent flying across a hundred miles, and directly fell into the Furious Dragon River. From this, it could be seen how miserable the Primordial Azure Dragon's head, which was at the center of the explosion, was.
Dragon Crystal, he didn't know if the Dragon Crystal was blown to pieces or not. If it was, then it would be too much of a pity.
Ding Ning thought that the Primordial Azure Dragon should be dead, but once he thought of the Dragon Crystal, he started to salivate. If he could obtain the Dragon Crystal for Pikachu to absorb, then Pikachu's strength would definitely rise to another level.
Thinking up to here, Ding Ning couldn't sit still any longer. He quietly released Pikachu, and had her carry him away from the Furious Dragon River to the Dragon Head Lake to search for the Dragon Crystal that might still be there.
Pikachu had always been obedient to Ding Ning's words. Seeing that he was so heavily injured, tears welled up in Pikachu's eyes. His heart ached to no end, and he continuously blamed himself, blaming himself for being too useless.
Ding Ning's face was filled with speechlessness. This injury was indeed very heavy, but to him, it was basically nothing. As long as he had enough spiritual energy, he would quickly recover. It was just that he didn't dare to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Furious Dragon River.
"That's right, Pikachu, if the dragon's head was blown to pieces, then why is the headless dragon body in the Furious Dragon River still alive and kicking? Could it be that there's still a Dragon Crystal in the dragon's body? "
Ding Ning laid on Pikachu's back, and asked the question in his heart.
"The Primordial Azure Dragon is the second generation Ancestral Dragon. The first generation Ancestral Dragon is the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, and possesses nine heads, which means that it has nine Dragon Crystals. The second generation Ancestral Dragon would at least have seven Dragon Crystals, and maybe even eight. So, even if the Dragon Crystal in the dragon's head is gone, the dragon body would still be able to survive."
Pikachu originally shouldn't know these things, but with Ding Ning's help, she was the only dragon descendant in history to cross the long river of bloodlines and obtain the first generation Ancestral Dragon's Chaotic Origin Blood. From her inherited memories, she knew many secrets of the dragon race that outsiders did not know about.
Ding Ning revealed a thoughtful expression. It seemed like the Primordial Azure Dragon wanted to devour Pikachu because it wanted the Chaotic Origin Blood in her body, and wanted to revert to its ancestry and become the one and only Chaotic Ancestral Dragon.
Thinking of those strange looking Three-Headed Dragon Kings, Ding Ning felt very conflicted, and asked probingly: "Then will you also become a Nine-Headed Dragon in the future?"
"I won't."
Pikachu replied with certainty: "Even if I become a Chaotic Ancestral Dragon in the future, I don't have to grow nine heads. At most, I will have nine dragon crystals."
Ding Ning secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As he healed his injuries, he muttered in his heart: "That's good, that's good. If you really become nine heads, I really won't be able to do it."
To be honest, with his aesthetic standards, he really couldn't accept Pikachu, who had nine heads, as his wife. A single head was more in line with his aesthetic standards.
Gently stroking Pikachu's golden dragon scales, Ding Ning asked curiously: "Why are you still a golden dragon? Why didn't you change into other colors? "
"The Chaotic Ancestral Dragon itself is a golden dragon, and golden dragons are the possessors of the strongest corporeal bodies in the dragon race. To the dragon race, every dragon crystal is equivalent to a life, and possesses a type of divine ability of the dragon race. That's why it can transform into nine heads. But when it reaches the level of a Chaotic Ancestral Dragon, it can change its appearance and color at will."
Pikachu patiently explained.
Only then did Ding Ning suddenly remember. No wonder the legends said that golden dragons were the emperors of the dragon race. It turned out that rumors were not groundless. The source was actually here.
"By the way, what's going on with the River of Bloodlines? Why is the scene in the Sunset Continent so similar to here? "
Ding Ning persistently asked the questions in his heart. At this point, he was more and more confused. What was going on with the River of Bloodlines in the Sunset Continent? Who did that old voice belong to?
"The Chaotic Ancestral Dragon is a unique existence in the world, and also an ultimate expert that has surpassed the Heavenly Dao. However, like the Kunpeng, it doesn't have the ability to reproduce at all. Its long life brings it endless loneliness. Seeing that other races can reproduce, in the end, it didn't hesitate to disperse its origin and use its own blood to create a River of Bloodlines to create a dragon race."
Pikachu's narration made Ding Ning pale. He didn't expect that the Chaotic Ancestral Dragon was the same as the Kunpeng. They were both willing to sacrifice themselves to create a huge race for the continuation of their bloodlines. It was just that the methods they used were completely different.
The Kunpeng used the method of opening up an inner world to create a race, while the Chaotic Ancestral Dragon was even more resolute. It directly dispersed its origin so that its bloodline could continue.
This made Ding Ning think about the meaning of life. Whether it was humans or other races, what was the purpose of living?
Some people said it was to bring glory to their ancestors, some said it was to leave a name for humans and a voice for geese. Some said it was to take control of the world and sleep on the knees of beautiful women …
But those were the thoughts of ordinary people. If he asked those cultivators, their answer would probably be to live forever. Even Ding Ning thought that this answer was the true meaning of life.
But now, the Kunpeng and the Chaotic Ancestral Dragon gave completely different answers. They pursued the continuation of their bloodlines. Of course, this was based on the foundation that they had longevity.
Was longevity really the meaning of life? At this moment, Ding Ning was confused.
He thought back to when he was tempering his will space every day. The astral beasts that were billions of kilometers away roamed aimlessly through the void. They seemed carefree, but in reality, they were lonely and lonely. However, astral beasts had no intelligence. They would eat and sleep in a daze, and when they woke up, they would eat. This was why astral beasts had become a cancer in the Chaosverse.
But strictly speaking, was the Giant Beast of the Starry Sky really at fault? They did not have intelligence. They only needed to eat instinctively. They did not deliberately want to hurt anyone. In fact, they were very innocent.
But their instinctive needs had turned countless living stars into dead stars, and indirectly destroyed countless civilizations. They became the biggest enemy that the whole universe hated to the bone and wanted to get rid of. Who was at fault?
They had an almost eternal life, but they had to spend a long time alone. Ding Ning's hair stood on end at the thought of that loneliness. He did not dare to imagine if he would commit suicide because of a mental breakdown.
Thinking of this, it was reasonable that the Chaotic Ancestral Dragon and the Kunpeng used their own way to interpret the alternative meaning of life. After all, every creature had different desires and needs at each stage. While many creatures were still struggling for longevity, the Kunpeng and the Ancestral Dragon, who stood at the top of the food chain, had already begun to fight for the continuation of their bloodlines.
Speaking of which, they were much luckier than the Giant Beast of the Starry Sky. After all, they had their own intelligence and thoughts. At least, they could choose the life they wanted.
But the Giant Beast of the Starry Sky could only live like a salted fish in a life without goals, hope, and pursuit, until it was hunted by others and died at the end of its life.
Reproduction, inheritance, and the continuation of bloodlines were the eternal and unchanging main themes of this world.
Ding Ning suddenly became enlightened as if he had been enlightened. His eyes flashed with the light of understanding.
He had always felt that the Heavenly Way was unfair. Why did the Human Race only have a short lifespan of a hundred years, while many other races had long lifespans?
But at this moment, it was as if he was suddenly enlightened. The Heaven Dao couldn't be more fair. Although it gave humans an extremely short lifespan, at the same time, it gave humans wisdom and the ability to reproduce that far surpassed other races. This allowed humans to possess a solid foundation to pass on the torch and become a powerful race.
