Chapter 278: Dimensional Ascension!
A massive wave surged in Ao Kai’s heart.
Anger and fear intertwined.
The moment the thought of escape arose, it no longer had the slightest desire to fight.
What pride, what status, what self-respect — it cast them all aside in that instant.
A powerful will to survive drove it to turn and try to fly toward the distant sky.
But at that moment, Lu Qingyang roared!
“Jiangxin!”
Just as Ao Kai struggled desperately.
Trying to break free from that formless, icy force.
A tremendous crash suddenly came from the air.
The sound was like heaven collapsing and earth splitting, deafening.
It was as if the entire Demon Domain had suffered a devastating blow in that single instant.
“Heavenly Dao!”
A sudden panic rose in Ao Kai’s heart.
Its dragon pupils widened like bronze bells.
The surrounding space seemed to twist under some formless force.
The air was filled with a sacred and vast will.
It was the aura of the Jiangxin Heavenly Dao.
Like a whisper from deep within the firmament.
Carrying supreme majesty and an irresistible pressure, it pressed straight into the depths of Ao Kai’s soul.
In that instant, the ice-blue light around it grew ever more brilliant.
As if responding to the summons of that power.
Ice crystals drifted down through the air in profusion.
Like countless stars sinking in the night sky.
Then, recondensed by that sacred power, they transformed into a thick ice curtain that descended silently.
“No!”
Ao Kai roared, its face ferocious as it struggled with all its might.
Ao Kai’s heart pounded like thunder.
Intense fear seeped into every scale.
Making it feel utterly insignificant before that formless, icy force.
Its dragon pupils flickered with unease and rage.
As if it wanted to fight that power to the very end.
Yet as its struggles intensified, that sealing force only grew heavier.
Like countless glaciers pressing down on it, leaving it unable to breathe.
Beneath this formless oppression, the surrounding space began to warp.
Cold air surged in like a tide.
As if responding to that mysterious power.
The once-clear sky was now covered by dense frost.
Growing ever paler, as if only that ice-blue remained in heaven and earth.
Ao Kai’s soul gradually lost itself in that icy breath.
Its consciousness drifted like floating clouds, growing blurred and indistinct.
“No… no…”
Ao Kai roared in its heart.
Trying to make its voice pierce through the endless cold.
Yet its voice was like a drop of water into the sea.
So faint it could barely be heard.
And Lu Qingyang had actually frozen the entire Demon Domain!
If anyone were to look from beyond the realm at this moment, they would find the entire Demon Domain draped in silver and white!
“Suppress!”
Lu Qingyang roared, his eyes blood-red, clearly having paid no small price.
Weng weng!
Within this frost-covered Demon Domain.
The surrounding heaven and earth seemed imprisoned by eternal cold.
Thick ice-blue radiance flowed through the air like a massive frozen river.
Devouring all life and color.
In such an atmosphere, the entire Demon Domain began to tremble violently.
As if shivering before the destruction about to come.
Lu Qingyang was actually willing to bury the entire Demon Domain with it!
And as Lu Qingyang roared, the air was filled with formless power.
That mighty cold surged in like a tide.
Rapidly suppressing everything around it.
Ao Kai’s scales trembled slightly beneath this icy invasion.
Its heart was filled with intertwined fear and rage.
It struggled with all its strength, trying to resist that merciless force.
Yet as the ice curtain drew near, its resistance seemed utterly pale.
“Boom!”
A deafening crash rang out.
The entire Demon Domain seemed to transform into a living hell in that instant.
The color of the sky turned ever paler in an instant.
The dense frost seemed to condense into a terrifying force at this moment, pressing down ruthlessly on Ao Kai.
The massive ice curtain plunged downward at unbelievable speed.
The thick ice layer was like a landslide, unstoppable.
Ao Kai let out a whimper of unwillingness.
The sound echoed through the icy air.
Yet its struggles seemed so insignificant.
The ice curtain enveloped its form, instantly slamming it to the ground.
The icy touch seemed about to seal its soul completely.
As the ice curtain descended, the surface of the earth began to crack.
The massive tremors were like a roaring beast.
Wantonly destroying everything around it.
“Boom!”
Another thunderous impact, and the ground seemed to bear a weight it could not sustain.
The violent shaking made the surrounding scenery collapse one after another.
Glaciers burst apart, and bottomless fissures appeared beneath Ao Kai.
As if about to devour its existence entirely.
Thick, pungent fresh blood splattered out alongside ice shards.
The horrifying scene made one shudder, as if the entire Demon Domain was mourning this catastrophe.
And at the center of this destruction.
Lu Qingyang stood high above, coldly overlooking everything below.
His gaze was like a torch, as if searching for something.
At that very moment, a wisp of black smoke shot out from the glacier!
It was Ao Kai’s Dragon Soul!
“Hm? You think you can escape?”
Lu Qingyang’s eyes were indifferent.
He extended his right hand, pointing his index finger into the void.
Chi!
Instantly, the ice layer burst apart, and a beam of dazzling spiritual power shot out, annihilating everything.
Pfft!
The spiritual power was as fast as a blade, directly severing Ao Kai’s Dragon Soul.
Ao Kai wailed, its Dragon Soul collapsing.
It cast one final, hateful stare at Lu Qingyang, as if wanting to brand his appearance deep into its mind, to remember for all eternity.
Only then did its Dragon Soul fully scatter, leaving no trace behind.
Seeing this Dragon Demon finally destroyed, Lu Qingyang let out a turbid breath.
But before he could put away the broken dragon corpse.
He suddenly sensed the earth trembling!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
An indescribable, majestic aura suddenly surged skyward from the ground.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook, the void quaked.
A towering Stone Stele suddenly burst out from the thick glacier.
At the same time, a crimson light shot out from the Stone Stele, heading straight for the sky!
As if transmitting some kind of signal!
“This is…”
“It seems the Jing River Dragon Clan will soon learn of what happened here.”
Lu Qingyang guessed something almost instantly.
An ominous feeling lingered in his heart, making his brows furrow slightly.
“It seems World Ascension can no longer be delayed.”
“Jiangxin!”
“Master, I… am… here…”
Jiangxin’s somewhat weak voice came through.
Clearly, this battle had taken a great toll on it as well!
But when it heard Lu Qingyang’s next words, its voice suddenly grew excited!
“Clean up, prepare for World Ascension.”
“World… World Ascension?! Now?”
“That’s right, prepare at once.”
“Yes, Master!”
Jiangxin’s voice was full of excitement…
