Chapter 14 The Ancient Divine Elephant Feeds on Dragons!

"Sashimi? Braised? A snack?!"

In the Ancient Extreme Cold Ice Dragon's massive eyes, which were like red lanterns, a flash of human-like bewilderment appeared, followed immediately by an unprecedented surge of violent humiliation!

It was a Peak Yao Beast with the purest Ancient True Dragon Bloodline!

Even though it had been ambushed by the Taixuan Dao Sect's founding Ancestral Master and suppressed in these dark Nine Netherworld Earth Veins for a full ten thousand years, its Realm still remained at the terrifying Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection! If given another hundred years to absorb the earth vein Yin Qi, it could even break through to the Void Returning Stage in one fell swoop and achieve Ascension in broad daylight!

And now, a human brat whose cultivation seemed to be only at the mere Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage—not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth—actually dared to discuss its "meat quality" and "cooking methods" with that Core Formation Stage demon maid right in front of its face?!

"Ignorant ant! You dare treat the great Extreme Cold Dragon Sovereign as food?! This seat will freeze your Soul within Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice, where you shall suffer the agony of Ten Thousand Dragons Heart-Devouring day and night!"

"Roar—!!!"

Accompanied by a terrifying dragon roar that shattered the void.

The Extreme Cold Ice Dragon went completely berserk!

It suddenly opened its abyss-like bloody maw, and the reverse scale on its belly erupted with a blinding ice-blue divine light.

The next second, a beam of light over ten zhang in diameter, condensed from the ultimate Nine Netherworld Cold Poison and Soul Transformation Stage Origin Spiritual Power—the Absolute Zero Breath—erupted like a world-destroying ice-blue pillar, blasting toward Lin Yuan above the abyss crack!

"Rumble—!"

Wherever the frost pillar passed, the space at the bottom of the death prison even emitted the "ka ka" sound of cracking under the unbearable weight. Time, Spiritual Qi, and even light seemed to be completely frozen at this moment!

"Young Master, watch out!! This is the life-source dragon breath of a True Dragon at the Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection; one touch and your Soul will be annihilated!"

Kneeling in the distance, Tantai Jinyue let out a despairing scream.

Even though she was dozens of zhang away and only affected by a sliver of the dragon breath's aftershock, the Devilish Qi in her body instantly solidified. A thick layer of frost formed on her eyebrows and hair, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to even move a finger!

Too strong!

This was not a power of the mortal Realm at all! Before such a heaven-and-earth great Yao, a so-called Nascent Soul Stage expert was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper!

"Even if the Young Master's Sword Intent is Heaven-Defying, the Physical Body is ultimately a human's weakness. He absolutely cannot block such a massive wave of extreme cold!" Tantai Jinyue was so anxious that her eyes became bloodshot.

However, facing this world-destroying dragon breath, Lin Yuan did not retreat a single step; he didn't even show any intention of drawing the ominous sword, zhutian.

He just stood there quietly, a faint trace of anticipation even hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm, the air conditioning is quite strong. Just in time to test the passive defense of my new Cultivation Technique."

At the critical moment when that deep blue pillar of light, capable of freezing a thousand miles, was about to swallow Lin Yuan's slender body!

"Buzz—!"

Inside Lin Yuan's body, those ten thousand Divine Elephant Particles that had just awakened let out an instinctive roar after sensing the provocation from the "ant" outside!

He didn't use a single shred of Nascent Soul Spiritual Qi.

Pure, extremely domineering ancient physical blood qi erupted from Lin Yuan's body!

In that instant, Lin Yuan seemed to transform into an erupting primeval volcano! The dark-gold blood qi wolf smoke, so dense it became physical, shot into the sky and condensed above Lin Yuan's head into a phantom that towered into the clouds and suppressed the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands—an Ancient Divine Elephant phantom!

The Divine Elephant stomps to suppress Hell; the Divine Elephant bellows to shatter the stars!

"Boom!!!"

That destructive ice-blue dragon breath slammed hard into the dark-gold protective shield woven from the God Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength's blood qi and the Eternal Immortal Sword Body on Lin Yuan's surface!

There was no overwhelming freezing as imagined.

Nor was there any world-shaking explosion.

There was only a strange "hissing" sound.

Under the ghostly stares of Tantai Jinyue and the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon.

The life-source dragon breath, capable of instakilling a Soul Transformation Stage Late Stage expert, was instantly evaporated and vaporized into a cloud of void white smoke the moment it touched Lin Yuan's protective blood qi, like a drop of water falling into a red-hot Pill Furnace!

Lin Yuan was bathed in the mist, and not even a single strand of his hair was frozen. He stretched quite comfortably, as if what had just been sprayed on him wasn't a Soul Transformation dragon breath, but a cool breeze.

"Good power, but the temperature is a bit lacking—not even enough to cool me down."

Lin Yuan shook his head and looked at the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon below, whose jaw was almost touching the ground, with some regret. "I thought I could make chilled sashimi, but now it seems your meat still needs to be 'tenderized' properly with my fists."

"This... this is impossible!!!"

In the abyss crack, the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon's massive eyes trembled violently as it let out an unbelievable scream.

That was the life-source dragon breath it had condensed using a thousand years of its Origin!

Forget a Nascent Soul Stage human, even a celestial mountain forged from thousand-year profound iron should have been frozen into dust!

But this human before it had actually evaporated it using only the blood qi overflowing from his Physical Body?!

What made it even more terrified was the faint dark-gold giant elephant phantom above Lin Yuan's head!

The moment the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon's gaze met that Divine Elephant phantom, its noble Ancient True Dragon Bloodline actually let out an extremely shrill wail uncontrollably!

It was the ultimate Bloodline suppression branded in the depths of its Soul, coming from the top of the pyramid of the Major Thousand Worlds!

Before a Divine Elephant, a dragon?

It was just a spicy strip with scales! This was a natural enemy on a genetic level!

"You... what kind of monster are you?! You're not human! A human can't possibly have this kind of blood qi!!!" The Extreme Cold Ice Dragon was completely panicked, and its massive body began to desperately shrink back into the depths of the earth veins.

It was afraid!

Suppressed for ten thousand years, it originally thought it could finally dominate everything, but as soon as it poked its head out, it encountered a primeval wild beast wearing human skin!

"You want to run after attacking? It's not that easy."

A sharp light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He bent his knees slightly, and with a muffled "bang"!

The Nine Heavens Falling Star Rock foundation beneath Lin Yuan's feet cracked extensively again, and he shot out like an intercontinental missile, transforming into a dark-gold light that crashed straight into the bottomless crack!

"Boom—!"

Lin Yuan's body fell like a meteor, landing with absolute precision on the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon's head, which was larger than a small hill!

The terrifying gravitational acceleration of those ten thousand Divine Elephant Particles caused the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon's proud Soul Transformation Stage Protective Aura to shatter like bubbles!

"Aowu—!!!"

The Extreme Cold Ice Dragon let out an extremely shrill scream. Its ice-blue dragon horn, as hard as an Immortal Artifact, actually snapped in half under Lin Yuan's stomp! Its massive dragon body was forcibly stepped on by Lin Yuan as it plummeted toward the depths of the earth veins, smashing through over a dozen layers of underground rock walls!

"Too tough, the meat is too tight. Roasting it like this will get stuck in my teeth."

From the depths of the dark earth veins came Lin Yuan's extremely dissatisfied evaluation.

Following that was a one-sided, inhumane, purely physical extreme bullying!

No fancy Spells clashing, no world-shaking Flying Swords piercing through the air.

Lin Yuan didn't even bother to use the Sword Drawing Technique he had just learned; he directly flipped over and rode on the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon's neck, clenching his right fist as the dark-gold Divine Elephant blood qi converged crazily on his knuckles!

"Bang!"

A punch came down! The Divine Elephant trumpeted!

The dragon scales on the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon's neck, comparable to a top-grade defensive Magic Treasure, were instantly smashed to pieces, and dragon blood sprayed everywhere!

"Ow! Not the face! This seat is the noble..."

"Bang!"

Lin Yuan threw another backhand punch directly into the ice dragon's left eye socket, giving this True Dragon at the Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection a massive black eye.

"Is the meat tender enough yet?!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Lin Yuan's fists fell like a rainstorm, each punch carrying a terrifying force capable of shattering mountains! The entire Nine Netherworld Earth Veins beneath the Demon Suppressing Death Prison seemed to experience a magnitude twelve earthquake at this moment, shaking and collapsing wildly!

Above, in the Sword Tomb of the death prison.

Tantai Jinyue knelt at the edge of the abyss crack, listening to the muffled "bangs" coming from below, and the ten-thousand-year ice dragon's transition from "angry roars" to "terrified screams," and now to "shrill wails like a slaughtered pig"...

This former peerless demoness silently reached out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and swallowed hard.

Too brutal.

It was simply too brutal.

How was this a battle between high-and-mighty immortal cultivation experts? This was clearly an ancient thug in a market crazily pounding beef balls with a hammer!

"Young Master... hit it a bit lighter, don't smash the dragon liver, that's a great tonic..." Tantai Jinyue even thoughtfully shouted down into the crack.

Deep underground.

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting! Great Master! Ancestor! Grandfather! I was wrong!!!"

The Extreme Cold Ice Dragon felt like dying now.

More than half of the dragon scales it was so proud of had been ripped off by Lin Yuan's bare hands, and its originally majestic dragon head had been beaten into a pig's head. What made it even more despairing was that with every punch Lin Yuan threw, a terrifying blood qi specifically designed to suppress the Dragon Clan would drill into its Meridians, making it unable to even muster the strength to detonate its Yao core.

This was simply a one-sided massacre!

"I give in! I completely give in! Grandfather, don't make sashimi, my meat is old and not tasty, really! You won't be able to chew it!"

The Extreme Cold Ice Dragon watched as Lin Yuan raised his dragon-blood-stained fist again, which was shimmering with dark-gold light. Its tears and snot instantly sprayed out as it completely cast aside its last bit of dignity as a Soul Transformation Stage True Dragon.

"Oh? Not tasty?"

Lin Yuan's fist stopped in mid-air, his brow furrowing slightly. "Then what use is there in keeping you? You've sucked all the Spiritual Qi in these earth veins dry; keeping you just takes up space. I might as well kill you and make soup."

"I'm useful! I'm useful!"

The Extreme Cold Ice Dragon shuddered in fear, its survival instinct instantly reaching its Peak!

"Grandfather, look, these Nine Netherworld Earth Veins are unbearably hot. I have cultivated Extreme Cold power for ten thousand years; I can cool you down!"

To prove its value.

The Extreme Cold Ice Dragon endured the intense pain and desperately circulated the remaining Soul Transformation Stage Yao power in its body.

Amidst the "ka ka ka" sound of shrinking bones.

In less than three breaths' time.

That ancient ice monster that once shook the primeval era had actually turned into a small ice snake about a meter long, crystal clear and ice-blue, with two cute little dragon horns...

The small ice snake climbed up Lin Yuan's trouser leg in a sycophantic manner and then skillfully coiled around Lin Yuan's neck, carefully emitting a very weak and comfortable cold air.

"Grandfather, how is this airflow? Do you need some frost special effects?"

The small ice snake spoke into Lin Yuan's ear in an extremely flattering loli voice.

Lin Yuan: "..."

Good grief, with this size-shifting talent and this sycophantic face, are you really of the Dragon Clan? Are you sure your ancestors didn't have Husky blood?

But honestly, this scarf transformed from a Soul Transformation Stage True Dragon felt cool and refreshing around his neck, more comfortable than any immortal Magic Treasure. Especially after finishing a set of military boxing, this free automatic cooling System was perfect.

"Fine, since you're so sincere, tonight's sashimi is off the table."

Lin Yuan casually flicked the ten-thousand-year-old ice dragon's horn. "From now on, your name is 'Xiao Bing.' You're responsible for regulating the temperature of this second level of the death prison. If you dare to slack off, I'll soak you in wine."

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for sparing my life, Master! Xiao Bing will never slack off, I guarantee it will be like spring all year round for Master!" The ice dragon scarf nodded frantically, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Saved its life! As long as it wasn't eaten as sashimi, what did being an air conditioner matter? The wise adapt to the circumstances!

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He lightly tapped his toes on the rock wall and floated up the abyss crack like a feather, landing back beside the Spiritual Spring in the death prison's Sword Tomb.

Jinyue, kneeling to the side, looked at the "ice snake" wrapped around Lin Yuan's neck that was constantly emitting extreme cold air and even flatteringly using its tail to fan Lin Yuan, and she fell into a deep silence once again.

A Soul Transformation Great Perfection True Dragon that even the Taixuan Dao Sect's founding Ancestral Master could only barely suppress.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it was beaten by the Young Master into a... scarf?!

"Jinyue."

"Your... your servant is here." Tantai Jinyue's body trembled, and she buried her head even lower.

She suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of crisis!

The establishment in this death prison originally had only her as the "exclusive maid," but now the Young Master had even taken a Soul Transformation Stage True Dragon as a pet! With her Core Formation Peak cultivation, if she didn't work hard, she was afraid she wouldn't even be qualified to pour tea for the Young Master, as that cooling dragon would steal her job!

"Since a hole was broken in the bottom of this death prison, we shouldn't let the Nine Netherworld Earth Vein Qi inside go to waste."

Lin Yuan pointed at that huge abyss crack and casually gave an order.

"Your cultivation has reached a Bottleneck recently. Go clean up the space below, draw the earth vein Yin Qi up, and combine it with the Blood Lotus Demonic Scripture I taught you. Strive to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage for me within half a month."

"If you don't succeed..." Lin Yuan patted the ice dragon on his neck with a half-smile, "I'll let Xiao Bing take over as the head maid."

Hearing this, the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon immediately cooperated by raising its small dragon head and flickering its ice-blue dragon tongue at Tantai Jinyue, its eyes flashing with a "Long Aotian"-like provocation.

A Soul Transformation Stage True Dragon as a maid? Thinking about it, it's quite a stable position!

"Rest assured, Young Master!!!"

An extremely terrifying fighting spirit instantly erupted in Tantai Jinyue's eyes. She glared fiercely at the ice dragon, causing the remaining eight Black Iron Chains on her body to clatter loudly.

"Even if your servant has to risk her life, I will never let a loach steal my position of serving you! If I don't enter the Nascent Soul Stage within half a month, I will commit suicide to atone for my failure!"

The competition is heating up!

A peerless demoness, in order to keep her job as a cleaning maid, was stimulated by a dragon to race against death!

Looking at this "harmonious, friendly, and healthy competition" in the death prison base.

Lin Yuan lay back on his red sandalwood lounge chair in satisfaction, closing his eyes as he felt the God Elephant Prison-Suppressing Strength slowly circulate within his body.

"Hmm... these days of cultivation are becoming more and more promising."

...

While things were peaceful and quiet on Lin Yuan's side as he practiced idle cultivation with his True Dragon air conditioner.

The Shenhuang Continent outside was experiencing a massive wave sweeping through both the righteous and demonic paths due to a sudden incident during the Taixuan Dao Sect's decennial Prodigy Grand Competition!

The Taixuan Dao Sect faces a catastrophe!
