Chapter 1811 - 72: The Fall of the Blood Dragon
The coffin has opened!
At this moment, even Vashanesh and Harakat held their breath, the entire battlefield seemed to quiet down, and everyone’s eyes focused on the coffin, eager to see what scene lay inside.
However, when they used their divine thoughts to look inside, expressions of surprise and disbelief appeared once again on their faces, as the scene inside the coffin differed from what they had imagined, truly unexpected.
Zhang Xiaoman took a deep breath, the look of anticipation on his face froze like a candle trapped in ice, he could never have imagined the coffin opening to reveal such a sight.
Inside the enormous coffin lay a withered corpse, like a mummy weathered for countless years, with nothing on its body except the blue-glowing garment that continued to emanate light even after so many years.
"The ancestor of the Lan Family is already... dead...?"
The crowd remained in disbelief, even many elders from the Lan Family wore expressions of terror.
They had fought hard until now, holding onto the hope of their ancestor as their only chance of survival, otherwise, how could they have any chance against the Rothschild family with its three Extraordinary Level members?
But now, seeing only a desiccated corpse inside the coffin, their last hope was shattered, leaving them on the brink of collapse.
Lan Qi shook his head in disarray, then suddenly snapped back to reality, looking in terror at the Blood Dragon — Ebola approaching the family once again.
"It’s coming again! Be careful!"
Lan Qi shouted loudly, starting to organize the disciples of the Lan Family for defense.
However, anyone could see he had lost his fighting spirit.
After experiencing the crushing blow of hope turning into despair, many others also lost confidence in combating the Rothschild family, just like him.
But an Extraordinary Level’s Dark Speed is astonishingly fast.
Though the original distance seemed vast, for Ebola it was merely an instant.
The enormous Blood Dragon appeared once again within the Lan Family Fleet, and due to the exposed coffin, its target directly shifted to the Lan Family ancestor — or rather his corpse.
"Be careful! It’s coming! Protect the ancestor! Don’t let it come near!"
"Activate the Protection Barrier at full power! Don’t save resources! All elders, come with me to block it! Lan Yue! Take the ancestor and leave first!"
"What’s happening! The barrier failed to activate! Something is draining all our energy!"
"..."
The situation on the Lan Family side was chaotic, as the intended activation of the Protection Barrier failed at this critical moment.
They stood before Ebola like defenseless lambs, helplessly watching it invade their territory without any means to stop it.
"Damn it!"
Lan Qi was anxious, his face twisted, watching the vast Blood Dragon charging forward, its terrifying body dominating the field of view, at that moment he even felt an impulse to abandon everything and flee.
However, just as Ebola was about to approach the Heavenly Storage Battleship, a blue light emerged from the front of the battleship, rapidly enveloping the creature.
Ebola, caught in the Dark Speed state, was forcibly extracted, unable to move despite its struggles.
Only then did everyone realize, losing all sense of time, that the entire Heavenly Storage Battleship, including the surrounding fleet, had lost their source of power, and the blue light was not from the battleship but the coffin in front of it.
"Ancestor!?"
Lan Qi couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Inside the coffin, a withered arm lifted, pointing at the Blood Dragon, emitting the blue light from this arm.
"The ancestor... hasn’t died?"
All were greatly shocked.
No one expected that the corpse inside the coffin, seemingly a weathered mummy ready to scatter in the wind, would come back to life now.
Before they could continue their astonishment, the arm lightly raised, causing the constrained body of the Blood Dragon to suddenly twist.
Then the corpse slowly walked out of the coffin, extending a second arm, and fiercely tore towards the Blood Dragon’s position.
The Blood Dragon was instantly split in half, scorching blood pouring down like a universe of stars.
At that moment, facing the terrifying high temperatures like a stellar explosion straight on, Lan Qi and others had no choice but to activate shields as protection.
The Dragon Blood filled with immense Spiritual Power seemed to cover the entire sky, then, as if guided by some force, flew towards them.
More accurately, it flew towards the Lan Family ancestor.
"Ang, ang, ang!!"
On the battlefield echoed Ebola’s anguished screams.
Its massive form was torn asunder, and Dragon Blood dyed heaven and earth.
Countless tiny tentacles grew like flesh buds, trying to piece the body back together.
However, the blue divine light was overwhelmingly powerful, drawing the scattered Dragon Blood with incredible speed, leaving Ebola’s repair efforts unable to match the destruction, within moments it completely lost its vitality.
The Lan Family ancestor who walked out of the coffin absorbed all of Ebola’s essence blood, his appearance rapidly undergoing transformation, from a dried mummy-like figure to a full form.
His flesh became vibrant, pure and radiant like a newborn infant, garbed in white, exuding an extraordinary aura, peerless elegance, like a Banished Immortal descending, nowhere resembling his former state.
"The Lan Family ancestor... really came alive..."
All were stunned by the transformation before them, speechless, watching the white-clad man, as if he were the very center of the universe, etching his image deeply in their minds, never to be forgotten.
"You wretched child! How dare you stop us! Our Rothschild family’s enmity with you is irreconcilable!"
The field suddenly erupted with two roars.
These were the two Extraordinary Level ancestors of the Rothschild family, who saw Ebola ensnared in peril, tried to assist but were forcibly blocked by Zi Kuang, unable to timely offer aid to prevent their companion’s demise.
Zi Kuang chuckled softly, wiping a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth, paying a significant price for forcibly stopping two enraged beings.
But the outcome turned out favorable, the Blood Dragon was eliminated and a powerful force joined their side, signaling the beginning of a shift in the battle.
