Qiu Bai watched as Qiu Yue figure disappeared into the distance, letting out a quiet sigh.
"With this, even if the people of Liyue get hurt..."
"My sister should be able to heal them."
He murmured to himself as he looked at her flying silhouette.
"That girl just now was your sister?"
"Why haven't I seen her before?"
Cloud Retainer asked curiously, still watching where Qiu Yue had flown off.
"Immortal Lord has a sister?"
"This is the first I've heard of it too."
Ping'er stood in midair, a spear in one hand, smiling.
"Haha, it's a long story."
"Once all this is over, I'll explain everything properly."
Qiu Bai chuckled and nodded at their curiosity.
"Then what should we do now, Immortal Lord?"
Moon Carver stepped forward and asked Qiu Bai with a hint of uncertainty.
"Head to the area near Nantianmen and set up a formation."
"Anchor the surrounding space as tightly as possible. In the battle to come we must ensure no harm comes to the nearby mortals."
Qiu Bai looked at the assembled adepti and calmly issued instructions.
"Yes, Immortal Lord!"
The adepti nodded in unison, transforming into human forms and flying off in all directions.
"Didn't expect you to be so thorough."
"If you hadn't been asleep for a thousand years, perhaps Liyue would be even better governed by now."
Morax smiled as he looked at Qiu Bai beside him.
"This matter is no small affair."
"If we don't handle it well, the surrounding people will surely suffer."
Qiu Bai smiled and waved his hand dismissively.
"But that sphere in your hand…"
"What exactly is it?"
Morax curiosity piqued as he looked at the chaotic sphere floating in Qiu Bai hand—even he could sense the danger it radiated.
"This orb I crafted it by imitating the principles of the Serenitea Pot."
"I just made a few small modifications, that's all."
Qiu Bai replied slowly, noticing Morax intrigued gaze.
He then took out several talismans he had brought from his own dwelling last time and shot them into the orb.
"This orb contains the essence of Yin and Yang, forming a world crafted from my divine power."
"The barrier is indestructible, formed by the adeptal powers of the Five Yakshas and simulates several elemental forces,"
"Roughly divided into ocean and land, as well as wind and thermal energy."
Qiu Bai calmly explained while gazing at the orb in his hand.
"Not a bad barrier."
"It might actually be useful against my true form."
Kun Jun stroked his chin, commenting on Qiu Bai orb.
At that moment across the horizon, a massive barrier formed from immortal power rose into the sky in a square formation!
In the distance, Lumine and Paimon stood right at the edge of the barrier.
"Wow! What a magnificent sight!"
"Paimon never seen anything like this before!"
Paimon exclaimed in awe as the barrier ascended around them.
Meanwhile Lumine furrowed her brows, focusing on where Qiu Bai and the others stood.
"Hmm..."
Morax gaze shifted toward the Fulong Tree location.
At that moment the tremors intensified, stronger and stronger causing the entire ground to tremble!
"It's coming."
Morax pupils narrowed as he gave a calm but serious warning.
With a thunderous boom that shook the heavens, the area around the Fulong Tree suddenly exploded!
The valley collapsed in an instant and from within emerged a colossal Dragon as large as a mountain!
"ROAAAAR!!!"
The Geo Dragon King Azhdaha let out a deafening roar into the sky!
The sheer force shattered the clouds above and the skies crackled with thunder and lightning!
Trees and soil that were caught by the shockwave were instantly blasted away!
The terrain around the Dragon King was left in utter chaos and ruin.
"Azhdaha."
"Inject your willpower into this Chaos Orb."
Qiu Bai said with a furrowed brow, speaking to Kun Jun beside him.
"Alright."
Kun Jun shrouded in white energy, closed his eyes as a white mist-like aura surged into the Chaos Orb.
His body then fell straight down.
Qiu Bai quickly caught him and teleported away in an instant,
Placing Kun Jun in a Liyue Harbor inn, then blinking back to Morax side.
The Dragon King Azhdaha on the ground now noticed the two figures hovering in the sky.
"Morax!!!"
The dragon roared furiously!
"System!"
"Scan the Geo Dragon King Azhdaha!"
Ding!
[Name: Azhdaha]
[Identity: New generation Rock Dragon King, Azhdaha the Dragon King, Liyue Elder, close friend of the Geo Archon!]
[Elemental Power Level: Initial top-tier God!]
[Comprehensive Strength: With the blessing of ley line power, can reach mid-stage top-tier God!]
[An elemental created being, carrying the power and memories of the earth, living as long as mountains and seas with inexhaustible ley lines and unending power!]
"Holy sh*t—what?!"
"Mid-stage top-tier God level?!"
Qiu Bai stared in disbelief at the Dragon King below, whose massive form loomed like a mountain. His heart trembled with shock.
He had expected Azhdaha to be strong.
But this strong?!
Seems like pulling him into the micro-world I created is absolutely necessary.
Qiu Bai frowned slightly as he looked down at the colossal dragon.
"Old friend, watch out!"
Morax shouted loudly, his body rapidly retreating!
Before Qiu Bai could even react, the massive Azhdaha suddenly charged into the sky at incredible speed and slammed straight into him!
BOOM!!!
A deep, resounding impact shattered the surrounding clouds.
Qiu Bai body was flung dozens of miles away!
CRASH!
He smashed into the ground, forming a gigantic crater on impact!
The surrounding trees were blown away by the shockwave!
"Cough… I got careless. Didn't dodge in time!"
"Peh!"
Qiu Bai slowly stood up, spitting to the side and wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
Then, a flicker of light shimmered in his hand—he summoned the Chaos Sword and launched it toward Azhdaha with blinding speed!
High above the skies, the battle roared with thunderous earth-shaking collisions!
Morax had already clashed with Azhdaha for several rounds.
Qiu Bai began forming hand seals and the Chaos Sword in his hand flared with dazzling brilliance.
Then came a devastating sword aura as terrifying as Osial whirlpool might, a strike that seemed capable of splitting the heavens, cut straight toward the airborne Azhdaha!
At that moment, the sky lost its colors, the light turned chaotic—black and white indistinguishable!
The Dragon King quickly twisted his massive body, drawing Geo energy from the earth gathering it over his form!
CLANG!!!
With a deafening ring, the sword strike powerful enough to annihilate Osial. Only inflicted a light injury on Azhdaha!
"AAARRGGHH!!"
Roaring in pain, the Dragon King began channeling terrifying thunderous power!
Lightning exploded across the sky, thunder rolling, dark clouds billowing!
A beam of lightning like a laser, shot straight toward Qiu Bai!
"Tch—damn it."
"I can't let this kind of power reach the ground!"
Qiu Bai stared at the massive lightning strike coming his way, then glanced down at the earth below.
If this hit the ground, the entire terrain would be devastated!
He immediately gathered Yin energy, surging with terrifying destructive power and injected it into his Chaos Sword!
Raising the sword high, he slashed directly at Azhdaha thunder attack!
The sword aura turned pitch black, so dark it felt like a force that didn't belong in this world and it collided head-on with Azhdaha thunderous strike!
