But now was not the time to study this. He had been here for too long, and getting the dragon crystal was his main goal.
As for the sealing talisman of the stone stele forest, it was too complicated and could not be understood in a short time. Right now, he could simulate the movement of the talisman so that the stone stele forest would not attack him.
"Pikachu, step back, step back a little more."
Ding Ning glanced at the stone stele forest reluctantly and let Pikachu retreat thousands of meters. Only then did he jump up and fly to the sky above the angry dragon river. He pulled out the Heavenly Annihilation and turned it into a huge blade light that slashed down on the river.
Boom!
When the blade hit the river, the river water actually flowed backwards, revealing the muddy ground at the bottom of the river.
This effect stunned Ding Ning, but he immediately realized that it was not that his blade technique had become stronger, but that after he stepped into the Holy Martial Arts Realm, he could finally activate part of the power of the divine weapon, the Heavenly Annihilation.
Roar!
The headless dragon corpse was provoked and immediately roared furiously. The river water quickly gathered to form a huge water dragon that gave off a terrifying aura. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced towards Ding Ning. Before it got close, the terrifying might already made Ding Ning tremble in fear, and his expression changed drastically.
This was not even the true body of the headless dragon corpse. It was just a water dragon condensed from controlling the river water, yet it already possessed terrifying power that was no less than that of the Divine Transformation Realm. Just how terrifying was the original body of the dragon corpse?
Whoosh!
The stone stele forest's main function was to suppress the dragon corpse. The moment the water dragon condensed, the talisman scattered everywhere on the stone stele flashed. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a transparent mark on the river surface and ruthlessly suppressed the water dragon.
Ding Ning was also within the range of the mark's suppression, but he was already prepared. He endured the terrifying pressure without delay, and his body flashed with a rune mark similar to the one in the stone stele forest.
After all, the mark was a dead thing without intelligence. When it sensed that Ding Ning's aura was extremely similar to its own, it directly swept past him and suppressed the water dragon.
Roar!
The water dragon let out an unwilling roar, but it was smashed into the bottom of the river without the slightest ability to fight back. It turned into river water and dissipated, and the mark also disappeared.
Roar!
Perhaps it was because Ding Ning's provocation had completely angered the dragon corpse. Just as Ding Ning was about to dive into the river to search for its original body, another deafening roar came from the bottom of the river.
A blood-curdling scream rang out.
Ding Ning felt his mind tremble violently, and there was a roar in his brain. The terrifying roar shook him so much that he bled from his seven orifices. His skin cracked like a spider web, and the dark red blood turned into a rain of blood that fell on the river.
Thump!
Ding Ning unfurled his wings and swiftly retreated. While he was filled with reluctance, he clearly realized that the headless dragon corpse was not something he could fight right now.
Even if it didn't have a head, didn't have a mind, and its strength was greatly reduced, it definitely still had the terrifying strength of an Immortal Heavenly King.
It was just a roar from hundreds of meters away, and it didn't contain any sound wave attacks, but it had almost shaken him to death. Putting aside the fact that he was only in the early Saint Martial Arts Realm, even if he was in the Divine Transformation Realm, he might not be a match for it. He was naive enough to think that he could obtain its dragon crystal.
Ding Ning's heart was filled with a strong sense of defeat. He knew that ever since he awakened the auric flame blood and got lucky and killed the dragon head, his confidence had been overflowing. He always felt that there was nothing he couldn't do, which was why he was so arrogant and thought that he could kill the headless dragon corpse and obtain the other dragon crystals.
But now, reality had given him a resounding slap in the face, making him feel extremely ashamed. He also instantly came to his senses. In the face of the absolute difference in strength, he was actually as weak as a newborn baby, unable to withstand a single blow.
Roar!
Just as Ding Ning's blood splattered on the river's surface and he staggered to escape, the dragon corpse let out an earth-shattering roar. The sky was filled with dark clouds, the wind suddenly rose, and a torrential rain poured down.
The river's surface boiled like boiling water, and thousands of fine water vortexes appeared out of nowhere. These water vortexes actually followed a strange trajectory, reflecting off the curtain of rain in the sky and forming a mark that headed towards Ding Ning.
It was actually the mark of a stone tablet. How was this possible?
Poof!
Ding Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. He felt as if he had fallen into a swamp, and the surrounding air was like glue, making it difficult for him to move. The speed of the Sky Roc that he had always been proud of was useless at this moment.
However, this was not the focus of his attention. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at the mark that was as terrifying as the might of the heavens pressing down on him. He could not believe that this headless dragon corpse was actually able to imitate the exact same mark as the one in the stone steles.
But the truth was right in front of him. After the forest of stone tablets sensed the aura of the mark that seemed to be of the same origin as itself, it remained silent and did not react at all.
"Brother Ding Ning!"
Pikachu let out a shrill howl. With a whoosh, he pushed off the ground and leapt into the air. He turned into a thousand-meter-long golden dragon in the air, charging towards the mark in the sky without any regard for his own safety.
Ding Ning's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He cried out involuntarily, "No!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Pikachu was like a moth flying into a flame as he charged towards the terrifying mark without any hesitation. With a boom like a comet crashing into the earth, his enormous dragon body was forcefully smashed into the river.
The mark also dissipated under this collision. Pikachu fell from the sky and struggled to turn his enormous dragon head around. He looked deeply at the dumbstruck Ding Ning, his dragon eyes filled with deep attachment and reluctance, as well as a faint hint of gratification. Brother Ding Ning was fine. Then she was satisfied. Any price and sacrifice was worth it.
With a plop, the enormous dragon body fell into the water like a stone, sinking directly to the bottom of the river. It set off a huge wave that splashed onto Ding Ning's head and face.
The wind stopped, the rain stopped, and the surface of the river quickly recovered its calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Pikachu!"
Ding Ning stared blankly at the rippling surface of the river. Thinking of Pikachu's eyes filled with attachment, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart like needles. He opened his mouth and let out a heart-wrenching howl.
There was a loud bang!
Ding Ning's eyes turned blood-red, his short hair growing wildly like weeds. In the blink of an eye, it reached his waist and fluttered in the wind.
His body rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a towering giant over thirty meters tall. His clothes were torn to shreds, revealing muscles that seemed as if they had been cast from copper and iron.
But this was not the end. His blood-red eyes were enshrouded in a faint black aura, and the aura around him became incomparably cold and intimidating.
Adding a second personality onto the foundation of the auric flame blood and then entering the demonic state was Ding Ning's first attempt. Even though he had a faint feeling that this method would bring him irreparable damage, he could not care less at this moment. He had to save Pikachu in his strongest state.
Boom!
The three types of battle prowess combined caused Ding Ning's auric flame blood to burn even faster. His body expanded once again, and in the blink of an eye, he had doubled in size, becoming a terrifying giant over sixty meters tall.
He was burning his life force. He was expending his lifespan to fight. Ding Ning instantly understood. But so what? Pikachu had fallen into a dangerous situation to save him. Even if he died right now, he would not turn back.
"Is this kid crazy? With me around, how could anything happen to that little girl? Really. "
The Mountain River Tortoise stared dumbfounded at Ding Ning's magnificent transformation, muttering discontentedly in a low voice.
Just as it was about to seal Ding Ning, Ding Ning raised his head and let out an earth-shattering roar. His body expanded crazily again, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached a height of a hundred meters. His entire body was enshrouded in a terrifying black fog. With a forceful stomp of his feet, he shot into the bottom of the river like a heavy cannonball.
The Mountain River Tortoise's raised claw stiffened in the air. Its eyes were filled with disbelief as it wailed miserably, "How could this be? Didn't Su Zhe say that this kid had the bloodline of the Three Venerables? Why did he activate the bloodline of the Ancient Demon now? This is bad. The gathering of the four great sources is going to destroy … "
At this point, the Mountain River Tortoise shuddered and hurriedly shut its mouth. It stared at the empty sky in fear and wailed in a sobbing tone, "Su Zhe, hurry up and come back. I really can't protect this legendary source of destruction …"
As Ding Ning had expected, the world at the bottom of the river was in a separate space, just like the bottom of the Dragon Head Lake. Although he did not know if the Primordial Azure Dragon had the ability to open up a world, the Dragon Race, as the top bloodline among all the races, had an innate advantage in terms of understanding the laws of heaven and earth that other races could not compare to.
Otherwise, they would not be the only race that could fly without wings. Therefore, it was not strange for them to easily open up a small space that they could hide in.
However, this small space was far bigger than he had imagined. Even though he had transformed into a giant that was close to a hundred meters tall, he was still as small as an ant in this empty space.
However, this was nothing to be surprised about. After all, Pikachu was a thousand meters long, and the Primordial Azure Dragon had lived for god knows how many years. Even if its body reached ten thousand meters long, he would not be surprised.
Most importantly, this place was emitting a thick dragon aura. Even his divine sense was suppressed to the point where it could only extend to a radius of ten meters. This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
It would be a lie to say that Ding Ning was not afraid when facing a dragon corpse that might have the power of an Immortal Emperor. Even though he had comprehended the second stage of bedevilment during the battle and his power had increased by who knew how many times, that seemingly endless power still did not give him any sense of security.
However, he had no choice and no way out. He could only cut through all the obstacles and press forward.
His black and red pupils flickered with a bewitching luster. Ding Ning knew that he was burning his life force. He could only maintain this state for a limited amount of time. Therefore, he did not hide his tracks at all and started running with large strides, searching for traces of Pikachu everywhere.
As he moved forward, he discovered that there were all kinds of strangely shaped creature skeletons scattered all over the ground. Each skeleton emitted a frightening aura that made one's heart palpitate. The weakest skeleton's aura was far stronger than the half-step Immortal rank skeletons in Kun Peng World. He estimated that it was at least an Immortal Emperor rank existence.
If he had not burned his life source and entered the second personality after entering the second stage of bedevilment, just the pressure emitted by these skeletons would have made it hard for him to move.
This made Ding Ning secretly shocked. He could not help but be fascinated. During the Immemorial Era, there were truly as many Deities as dogs and Immortals were everywhere. This place was definitely the remains of an ancient battlefield. One could casually dig out a pile of Immortal corpses from the ground.
It would be a lie to say that he was not envious. These were Immortal corpses. No matter if it was concocting pills or medicine, they were all top quality immortal materials.
However, Ding Ning did not have any thoughts of collecting these Immortal corpses. Firstly, he was in a hurry to save Pikachu. Secondly, the aura of these Immortal corpses was too frightening. Even though billions of years had passed and a lot of energy had already been lost, the dense threads of law and order power on the corpses made him not dare to rashly act.
