Chapter 1168: Combined Retaliation

“What do we do now? We’ll die as soon as we get out of this shell.” Long Aotian swallowed a high-rank spirit pill to facilitate recovery.

“Don’t panic, we’re going to wear her down now and see who can last until the end. Can’t you see she’s struggling?” An Lin reassured.

Outside the turtle shell.

The Ancient Dragon Empress’ red divine dao power slowly shrank.

In the end, it wasn’t even able to encompass the turtle shell and was gradually withdrawn into her body again.

The rain of blood stopped, as did the Ancient Dragon Empress’ blood tears.

The Ancient Dragon Empress also pulled out an immortal pill and swallowed it, as if she had been inspired by Long Aotian.

Long Aotian was taking a spirit pill, so she took an immortal pill.

Everyone’s chest constricted upon seeing this.

She really was a BOSS after all! Even the pill she took was of a higher level than theirs!

“What do we do now? It looks like the Ancient Dragon Empress has given up.” Xu Xiaolan was itching to do something.

An Lin spoke with a justified expression, “Of course we take this opportunity to run!”

Long Aotian: “Of course we take this opportunity to launch a retaliation!”

Everyone instantly fell silent.

The two of them looked at once another.

“You still want to fight, Senior? Have you forgotten how you were almost insta-killed just then?” An Lin snapped.

“Running away isn’t going to resolve any of our problems. This is a rare opportunity to strike her down while she’s weakened! Otherwise, we’ll have no chance once she recovers.” Long Aotian analyzed.

“We should find powerful allies first and band together before discussing our best course of action!” An Lin stuck to his initial suggestion.

The two of them had conflicting opinions, and they both turned to look at Xu Xiaolan.

Xu Xiaolan pondered the issue for a moment before surreptitiously transmitting her voice to An Lin, “The turtle shell can still be used twice, so should we give it a try? If it doesn’t work, we can just activate the turtle shell again…”

“Alright, but don’t tell Senior Long Aotian about this. Make him think that this is a make or break situation. Only then will he be able to fight with his full strength,” An Lin transmitted his voice in reply.

A short while later.

Xu Xiaolan turned to An Lin with a beseeching expression on her face. “I think Senior Long Aotian is right, An Lin, we should act according to his suggestion.”

An Lin heaved a faint sight. “So be it then.”

They had arrived at a decision.

Long Aotian was feeling a little smug that his suggestion had been the one taken on board in the end.

Unbeknown to him, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had already fixed the voting process and had even worked out courses of action for how to make him fight as if his life depended on it, as well as what they were going to do if the plan failed…

After that, the three of them began to discuss strategy.

The Ancient Dragon Empress took this opportunity to recover her lost blood and energy while waiting for the time limit on the turtle shell spell technique to slowly trickle away.

However, the spell technique hadn’t even ended when the turtle shell suddenly split open!

Boom!

The space within a radius of five kilometers suddenly began to pulsate violently.

An extremely powerful pulsating shockwave crashed into the Ancient Dragon Empress’ body, pulverizing the ground behind the Ancient Dragon Empress in a sector shape for over ten kilometers!

Long Aotian had struck first, and he had given his all!

The Ancient Dragon Empress was knocked flying by the surprise attack. Perhaps it was because her wounds had not healed yet, but blood began to gush from under her dragon scales again.

At this moment, Xu Xiaolan descended while wielding her Dragon Sparrow Sword.

Holy Flames soared into the sky before materializing into a gargantuan Vermilion Bird, which descended from the heavens with a boundless holy might upon the rainbow dragon.

Boom!

Flames exploded, sending waves of fire sweeping outward in a radius of over ten kilometers.

The rainbow dragon roared as she plummeted to the ground under the terrifying might of the flaming Vermilion Bird.

On the ground below, An Lin slit his wrist and blood essence gushed forth as he injected the power of his consciousness, which rivaled that of a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, into a crimson cross in a mad frenzy.

A series of inky-black chains soared into the sky, binding onto the plummeting rainbow dragon.

At the same time, an extremely fearsome restrictive power erupted forth from the cross. A crimson pillar of light over five kilometers in radius engulfed the rainbow dragon, sealing her body and consciousness.

This was the power of the Blood Soul Cross!

An Lin was obviously not going to think that this would be enough to completely immobilize this insanely powerful dragon. He unleashed his Fire God Mode and instantly appeared on the rainbow dragon’s massive back, upon which he tossed out the Large Water Ball!

Boundless crushing force descended upon her body.

The Ancient Dragon Empress roared with rage, but her body had been heavily pinned to the ground.

The dual restrictive effects of the Blood Soul Cross and the Large Water Ball had finally immobilized this terrifying Dragon Tribe mighty figure.

An Lin didn’t let his guard down. The insignia of a golden eye appeared on his forehead as he unleashed his Divine Plunder Technique again.

He was going to plunder the Ancient Dragon Empress’ most dangerous ability!

Golden ripples instantly enshrouded the rainbow dragon.

The Ancient Dragon Empress’ abilities began to surface in his mind.

An Lin hadn’t even begun choosing a spell technique, when the crazed emotions of struggle and indignation from an entire tribe erupted, threatening to make his head explode!

“Ah…!”

The Ancient Dragon Empress’ power was far too bizarre. The peculiar explosion of emotions made an involuntary wail of anguish escape from An Lin’s lips.

In that instant, he felt like he really was going to explode from that power, and he was forced to withdraw his Divine Plunder Technique!

“Eurgh…”

An Lin’s blood churned, and he threw up a large mouthful of blood.

His brain felt like it had been torn apart.

He had only made a split second of contact with the Ancient Dragon Empress’ power, and that was almost enough to kill him.

“I can feel you trying to make contact with my power?” Even though the Ancient Dragon Empress had been restricted by the Blood Soul Cross and the Large Water Ball, her expression was still extremely cold and calm.

A shiver ran down An Lin’s spine, and he reflexively leaped up from the Ancient Dragon Empress’ back to open up more distance between the two of them.

“Can you understand my power?” The Ancient Dragon Empress stared at An Lin.

Her body glowed more and more brightly as rainbow divine dao light suddenly burst forth.

It was vibrant and beautiful, as if it contained countless possibilities.

However, An Lin could detect a sense of boundless grief, indignation, and rage from within.

The Ancient Dragon Empress’ wings slowly retracted as the light became more and more dazzling. Her body began to shrink as her sense of existence became more and more difficult to detect.

An Lin’s heart jolted with shock. He discovered that the Blood Soul Cross had lost its target, and so had the Large Water Ball.

“Be careful!” he yelled.

Bam!

Space exploded violently.

Dazzling rainbow light appeared before his eyes.

An exquisitely beautiful Dragon Tribe woman clothed in an imperial robe with rainbow light dancing around her body extended her claw-like fingers toward An Lin’s heart!

An Lin was not expecting the Ancient Dragon Empress to escape her restrictions by reverting back to her human form.

He only had a chance to turn his body to the side before a massive hole was stabbed into his chest by the sharp claws!

“An Lin!” Xu Xiaolan rushed over to reinforce him and forced the Ancient Dragon Empress back with a sword strike.

The Ancient Dragon Empress stood silently in the distance, and she used a bloodstained fingertip to paint her lips crimson.

She looked at An Lin with a meaningful gaze. “This is the first time a living being has tried to come into contact with my power… However, if you want to come into contact with my power, you must first experience the pain my tribe had to endure…”
