"As expected of an Immortal Technique!"
The Candle Dragon exclaimed in shock, "The power of the Immortal Technique is strong enough to shatter this body’s physique."
Even though the Candle Dragon possessed the strongest body, it couldn’t withstand the impact of the Immortal Technique’s power, resulting in numerous scars appearing on its massive body.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Baili Zhantian looked at the Candle Dragon in utter disbelief, unable to accept it. "How could someone at the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation withstand the Immortal Technique of this Patriarch?"
This full-force collision left both the Candle Dragon and Baili Zhantian with extremely severe injuries.
It can be described as a mutually destructive encounter.
Baili Zhantian’s injuries were more severe, as he didn’t possess a powerful body and couldn’t rely solely on the Mahayana Stage’s physical spiritual power to withstand the terrifying explosive energy.
"I don’t believe it! It can’t possibly have such strength!" Baili Zhantian shook his head in terrified stupefaction.
Baili Zhantian was undoubtedly a true Mahayana Stage powerhouse.
The Candle Dragon was merely at the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, possessing Mahayana Stage strength only because of the ancient fire attribute’s power and its super strong body.
This should have been the Candle Dragon’s peak, definitely not capable of contending against Baili Zhantian’s Immortal Technique.
But what Baili Zhantian didn’t expect was that the Candle Dragon not only withstood it, but the terrifying power even injured him.
Baili Zhantian never imagined that with his terrifying strength, he couldn’t defeat the Candle Dragon.
This strongest confrontation was indeed mutually destructive, but Baili Zhantian couldn’t accept such an outcome.
Baili Zhantian simply couldn’t believe it, let alone accept it.
How could the Mahayana Stage be inferior to the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation?
Do ancient demon beasts truly possess such terrifying strength?
"How can the Candle Dragon be so strong? The Patriarch even used a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact and an Immortal Technique." Baili Jinghong was dumbfounded and incredulous.
"How is this possible..."
"Even though the Patriarch used an Immortal Technique, he was still injured."
"Is this not a dream? The Patriarch is a Mahayana Stage, how could he be injured?"
None of Baili Tong or the Three Venerables dared to believe it.
Zhaixingzi was completely astonished and said, "Had I not seen it with my own eyes, this old man would not dare to believe that the Candle Dragon’s strength has reached such a level."
"It’s incredibly overpowered... If the Candle Dragon breaks through to the Mahayana Stage, wouldn’t it be even more terrifying?" the Ghost King said in a trembling voice, his pale face full of fear.
Old Madman restrained his terror and speculated, "If my guess is correct, the Candle Dragon must have utilized the power of the Ancient Fire Attribute Origin; otherwise, it couldn’t possibly withstand Baili Zhantian’s strongest attack."
"Brother Fire Dragon is too strong! Too strong!" The Three-headed Demon Wolf was both terrified and exhilarated.
"Senior Candle Dragon can actually injure Baili Zhantian!" The Great Demon King was once again shocked to the core, his eyes almost popping out.
No one present anticipated that the Candle Dragon possessed such terrifying power to injure Baili Zhantian.
Though it was mutually destructive, the Candle Dragon was merely at the peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, yet everyone present knew that the Candle Dragon had won this battle.
"Baili Zhantian, the power of that Immortal Technique isn’t all that impressive," the Candle Dragon said excitedly, "Even though it managed to wound this body, it’s far from enough to defeat me."
With those words, the Candle Dragon roared and, holding onto its severe injuries, charged forth explosively.
Even gravely injured, the Candle Dragon’s momentum remained terrifying, and its ancient fire attribute spiritual power was still horrifying.
"Baili Zhantian, it’s time for you to meet your end!" the Candle Dragon shouted, its bloodthirsty killing intent locking onto Baili Zhantian.
"Patriarch, be careful!"
Baili Jinghong and Baili Qingyu, along with the clan members, cried out in terror.
"Second and Third Brothers! Stop the Candle Dragon quickly!" Baili Jinghong shouted in panic and urgency.
The Candle Dragon was already badly wounded; no matter how strong, it couldn’t possibly be a match for someone still at the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation.
"Patriarch!" Baili Tong and another burst forth without hesitation, unleashing the King’s Sword while channeling their spiritual power with all their might. The source of thɪs content is 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
Even though the Candle Dragon was severely wounded, Baili Tong and his companion dared not underestimate it and had to give it their all.
At the moment Baili Tong and his companion took action.
A terrifying energy sword, swift as lightning, flashed past them in an instant, carrying an incredibly sharp, piercing sonic boom.
Fortunately, the fearsome energy sword wasn’t aimed directly at them, otherwise they would have been slain instantly.
"Great Demon King! What do you mean by this?" Baili Jinghong asked angrily, his fierce gaze sweeping toward the Great Demon King.
The one who intervened was the Commerce League’s Great Demon King.
The Great Demon King suddenly appeared, blocking Baili Tong and his companion, shrugging with a smile, "No particular reason, I just can’t stand taking advantage of others when they’re down."
"Great Demon King!" Baili Tong and his companion were savage, their bodies exuding killing intent, wishing they could tear the Great Demon King apart.
"Don’t look at me like that," the Great Demon King said with a smile, "If just one of you acted, I wouldn’t stop you, but it’s a bit much with both of you."
"If my father dies! I’ll make sure the entire Commerce League pays for it!" Baili Qingyu shouted angrily at the Great Demon King.
"Let’s see if the Baili Family survives first," the Ghost King responded coldly.
Old Madman glanced at the Great Demon King, smiling slightly, "This young man knows how to seize opportunities, doesn’t he? The Commerce League values him for a reason."
"Haha, this young man is securing connections for the Commerce League’s favor," Zhaixingzi smiled slightly.
The Great Demon King’s intervention had completely stripped the Baili Family of their chance to rescue Baili Zhantian.
"Baili Zhantian! I told you, you’re going to be the first Mahayana Stage to die by my hand! Prepare to meet your death!" the Candle Dragon roared, its massive dragon head crashing down with ruthless ferocity.
"Father!" Baili Qingyu screamed in horrified anguish.
"Patriarch!" The clan members of the Baili Family cried out in panic.
"Candle Dragon, stop!" Baili Jinghong suppressed his wounds and shouted angrily, ignoring his injuries to soar into the sky.
But with his speed and injured body, there was simply no way to save Baili Zhantian.
"Candle Dragon!" Baili Zhantian’s face was stormy, his pale cheeks twitching violently, wishing he could grind the Candle Dragon into dust.
Just when everyone thought Baili Zhantian was about to meet his end.
The Divine Fire Barrier set by the Candle Dragon suddenly cracked, with a fissure extending rapidly like claws, finally breaking open a gap.
"Mahayana Middle Stage! This aura is..." The Candle Dragon was shocked, sensing an even more terrifying power through the barrier.
"The Divine Fire Barrier has been breached!" The Great Demon King’s expression changed dramatically.
"Finally here?" Gu Chenfeng’s lips curled into a smile.
"He did come!" Zhaixingzi furrowed his brow and said seriously, "Cultivating the Mahayana Stage isn’t easy, this old monster won’t remain idle."
"Baili Celestial Emperor!" Old Madman’s old brows furrowed deeply.
Just as the gigantic dragon head was about to crash onto Baili Zhantian, a loud explosion resounded, and an incomparable terrifying force directly blasted the Candle Dragon away.
But it only managed to knock the Candle Dragon away, not injure it.
"Baili Celestial Emperor!" the Candle Dragon roared.
