Endless frost emerged from the body of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, as a bone-chilling wind swept by.
In no time, a thick layer of frost appeared on the ground.
The Paper Puppet snorted coldly, and countless papermen emerged from its hands.
They stacked upon each other, forming a barrier that suppressed the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s dragon’s might and the chill.
Ye Bai’s eyes showed a look of understanding; as expected, Master Jiang would step in to suppress the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s dragon qi and frost.
A difficult problem that troubled him was easily resolved this way.
Ye Bai put on gloves and carefully inspected the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon. Although it was still emitting faint cold qi, it was much better than before.
Ye Bai pried open the eyelids of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and saw thin strands of black silk in its pupils.
Evil energy was eroding the body of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.
This was not a good sign.
Meanwhile, he checked the other injuries of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon; its tail twisted at a 90-degree angle, and its dragon bone was likely long deformed.
The fact that the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon could hold on this long should be due to the resilient life force of its dragon bloodline.
Ye Bai had already discussed in detail the steps for treating the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon with Master Jiang.
Both had reached a consensus on prioritizing the separation of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon from the Glazed Dragon Egg.
This was to ensure the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s peace of mind. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
Only when the Glazed Dragon Egg was safe would the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon focus on fighting the black energy.
"Strange, there wasn’t so much black energy before."
"How did it surge so much in just one night?"
"Master Jiang, could there be a problem?"
"Could there be any unexpected changes in the surgery?"
Long Wei grew anxious, but Master Jiang lightly shook his head, signaling Long Wei to stay calm and wait for Ye Bai to finish his inspection before speaking.
The basic condition of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon was as Ye Bai expected; only the sudden emergence of black evil energy caught his attention.
The previous examination report did not describe evil energy entering the body; this must have appeared in the past few days.
But maybe it’s for the best; the early outbreak of the black energy is definitely better than a sudden outburst during surgery, reducing the risk of a chaotic situation and uncontrollable risks.
Ye Bai exited the barrier and let out a long sigh.
Upon hearing Ye Bai’s sigh, Long Wei felt a jolt in his heart.
"How is it, what’s the situation?"
Long Wei asked anxiously.
"Pretty much as I expected, but the sudden outburst of evil energy will affect the success rate of the surgery."
"We need an artifact that can suppress the evil energy, and we need to conduct tests as soon as possible."
"I just noticed that the Dragon’s Origin of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon had already been mostly depleted; if this continues, it might die from the exhaustion of its origin."
Ye Bai conveyed his assessment to Master Jiang and Long Wei.
Master Jiang nodded gently, agreeing with Ye Bai’s assessment.
"Then let’s hurry and get the surgery done."
"Long Wei, use your contracted Demon-Subduing Pestle to suppress the evil energy."
"Before the complete separation of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon and the Glazed Dragon Egg, do not let the evil energy get agitated."
"Otherwise, it will severely affect the surgery, and the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon might be in danger."
Master Jiang spoke, directing his words at both Long Wei and Ye Bai.
At this moment, the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, and from their depths, Ye Bai saw a desperate plea.
He understood the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s wish to save its child.
"Rest assured, Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, I won’t let you down."
"Everyone, let’s prepare to start the experiment."
Ye Bai’s pet beast squad donned sterile clothes and entered the barrier.
The Demon-Subduing Pestle was hurled into the air by Long Wei, and waves of Buddhist chanting emanated from it.
The body of the pestle was carved with densely packed scriptures the size of sesame seeds, glowing with a faint golden light, while a central figure representing laughter, anger, and scolding recited the scriptures loudly.
The scriptures emitted a blinding golden light that fell upon the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.
The sound of a wooden fish being struck filled the air.
Stimulated by the Demon-Subduing Pestle, large amounts of evil energy erupted from the body of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.
A sinister wind howled, and more and more black energy emerged, coalescing into a twisted, hideous face.
Ye Bai felt a chilling cold qi spreading through his body.
Long Wei took a deep breath, eyes blazing, fixed on the mass of twisted and hideous evil energy forming from within the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.
The entire body of the pestle was instantly enveloped in dazzling golden light, like a rising sun piercing through the surrounding darkness and chill.
The evil energy melted rapidly under the illumination of the golden light, like snow meeting the blazing sun, emitting a horrific wail and unwilling roar.
The Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s body convulsed violently, its jaws clenched; Ye Bai knew the evil energy was only temporarily suppressed.
So Ye Bai had to act swiftly; he didn’t know when a larger wave of evil energy might strike, which would certainly raise the surgery’s level of difficulty significantly.
The golden Demon-Subduing Pestle suppressed the evil aura, and the scales on the body of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon turned back to ice blue.
"Big Gray, paralyze the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon."
Big Gray nodded, with golden arcs of electricity crackling on its body.
It extended its claw directly, giving a fierce tap on the brow of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, and the arcs of electricity coursed through its body.
The Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, which was originally convulsing violently, calmed down.
Big Gray severed the sensory nerves in the center of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon with electricity, making it unable to feel any pain.
This was also due to the Demon-Subduing Pestle and the Paper Puppet suppressing the dragon power and cold qi of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon. Otherwise, Big Gray would have been completely frozen solid before even getting close, and things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Big Gray had to constantly observe the state of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, frequently using electricity to shield its perception of pain.
"Very good, Space Pelican, prepare for Spatial Cutting on the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s abdomen."
Facing the unbreakable dragon scales, the Space Pelican flapped its wings, creating a small Spatial Cutting as tiny as a thumb.
It struck with all its might, and a thumb-sized hole instantly appeared in the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s body.
Dark red blood gushed out like a fountain.
The Sunflower Emperor was the first to shield in front of Ye Bai, its petals absorbing the blood of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon.
The real protagonist was actually the Blood Pool hidden within the petals of the Sunflower Emperor.
The Blood Pool could transform the blood of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon into the Essence of Blood. The Essence of Blood from a High-Tier Exotic Beast could enhance the quality of the Blood Pool.
However, the roots of the Sunflower Emperor were also absorbing a small amount of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s blood.
After all, this was a High-Tier Exotic Beast, which was beneficial for the Sunflower Emperor as well.
The Sunflower Emperor felt like it was drinking a whole glass of ice-cold vodka in the intense summer heat.
It got slightly tipsy, with a sudden blush appearing on its face.
When the blood flow slowed down, Ye Bai summoned the True Dragon Sword.
This was the scalpel specially for the surgery.
An elegant Dragon’s Roar emanated from a bronze-colored treasure sword.
Ye Bai held the True Dragon Sword and sliced according to the planned position.
The flesh of the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon was extremely resilient, like elastic rubber.
Even with the True Dragon Sword, Ye Bai exerted tremendous effort to cut a one-meter-long incision in the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s abdomen.
"Big Gray, help out."
Big Gray inserted its claws into the wound, using great strength to open up the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon’s abdomen.
However, Big Gray was affected by the cold qi, and a thick layer of frost covered its body.
"Little Carbon Dog, help Big Gray with flames."
The Little Carbon Dog spewed a scorching flame from its mouth.
The flames fell on Big Gray, helping to warm up its body, which had become stiff from the cold.
"Holy Light Shining."
The Sunflower Emperor split into several clones, emitting strong light like powerful lightbulbs.
Ye Bai had long put on sunglasses. He saw a Glazed Dragon Egg pulsing like a heart.
The originally hard shell that housed life, with once smooth and glossy ice-blue lines, now seemed fragile, covered with dense cracks, as if a gentle touch from a fingertip would shatter it.
The shell was surrounded by layers of blood vessels, with streams of golden Dragon Qi Origin guarding the shell, dragons with fierce claws and teeth taking shape from the Dragon Qi.
Meanwhile, streams of black evil aura contended with the Dragon Qi Origin, retreating significantly under the stimulation of the intense light.
"Sunflower Emperor, even stronger Holy Light Shining."
Ye Bai emphasized once more, and the daylight-like brilliance instantly dispersed the endless night.
The evil aura scattered under the blazing white light, retreating deeper into hiding.
At this moment, swift resolution was needed; the longer it dragged on, the more time it gave for the evil aura to recover.
"Very good, Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, I know you still have consciousness now."
"I hope you can control your Dragon Origin and don’t actively attack us."
"Remember, we’re here to help you."
"You and your baby will be safe."
Ye Bai loudly reassured the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon, knowing its most cherished treasure was the Glazed Dragon Egg.
Under the influence of maternal instinct, the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon would stop at nothing.
At this point, the once tense Dragon Qi momentum weakened significantly, suggesting that the Cold Ice Glaze Dragon understood Ye Bai’s intentions.
"Come on, Sunflower Emperor, we must rely on your ability now."
The Sunflower Emperor had absorbed quite a bit of Dragon Blood just now, enhancing its Frozen Resistance.
It split into several clones, looking at the one-meter-high Glazed Dragon Egg, feeling slightly nervous.
The current Glazed Dragon Egg was like a shattered porcelain piece; any wrong move would cause it to break apart completely.
This surgery would then be a total failure.
The key to success or failure lay in the hands of the Sunflower Emperor.
