Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 654 Slaying the Dragon! (Two Chapters Combined)

At this moment, the sealed space is empty of black water, and countless fragments of bone, tendons, and skin are scattered everywhere.

There were also pools of blood, large and small, filled with scalding hot dragon blood that emitted colorful light.

In one place, the last remaining half of the Star-Devouring Dragon's head lay in the largest pool of blood, its breath faint, its last vestige of life fading away.

This Star-Devouring Dragon is still made of flesh and blood, and it will eventually die!

The Abyss Emperor couldn't kill this demonic dragon from beyond the realm back then, but today, he is truly going to die!
Song Changming stood quietly in front of the half-dragon head, carrying the already somewhat cracked God-Devouring Blade.

Beside him was Yuan San, the progenitor of Yin spirits.

Out of caution, Yuan San used Yin Sha Qi to freeze the blood pool and the small half of the dragon's head, accelerating the death of the demonic dragon while leaving it nowhere to escape and unable to use any sinister techniques.

Song Changming remained indifferent and slowly raised his sword again.

"Wait a minute. If you want to go to the primordial world, I need to open a bridge between the two realms for you. Otherwise, you will be trapped here for the rest of your life. Are you willing to accept that?"

Faced with a life-or-death situation, even the Star-Devouring Dragon became somewhat anxious.

In fact, even without Song Changming's intervention, it would be difficult for it to survive, so it needs to persuade Song Changming to save it.

"I am no longer a threat. You may continue to imprison me. In the future, I will definitely cooperate with you to open the path between the two worlds and go to the primordial world to seek the immortal fruit!"

Yuan San remained silent, each hand holding two wisps of Yin energy, waiting for Song Changming to make a decision.

Song Changming raised his eyebrows, and with a swift motion, brought down his knife without hesitation.

With a single stroke, the remaining half of the dragon's head was cleaved in two.

In an instant, even more dragon blood gushed out, filling the blood pool to its fullest.

"You! Damn it!"

The Star-Devouring Dragon's body was completely lifeless, devoid of any vitality, with only a wisp of its soul remaining.

Knowing that it was now in the sealed space and that this dragon soul was doomed to die, it roared and cursed at Song Changming, showing no intention of yielding anymore.

Song Changming didn't say much, he just blew a breath at the dragon soul.

A few wisps of deathly wind swept by, completely annihilating the dragon soul that had been promoted, leaving it with no chance of survival!

Ending with Deathly Sleep Wind was a way of giving the Star Devourer Dragon face.

To prevent the other party from still haunting us, let a gust of wind carry them away on their final journey.

"I'm so tired," Song Changming murmured. The end of this battle gave him a long-lost feeling of exhaustion.

Besides the fact that the Star-Devouring Dragon is indeed a formidable foe, the suppression from beginning to end by this sealed space is also a major reason.

Most importantly, the energy consumed in this battle could not be replenished from external spiritual energy, which was the key reason why he was so exhausted.

He glanced again at the God-Devouring Blade in his hand, which was somewhat cracked.

He did pay a price for this battle; his most prized sword was damaged in the fight, and he would have to see if it could be repaired in the future.

"Master, don't you want to go to that world in the future?" Yuan San suddenly asked.

“I might go, but I’ll go in my own way, not by relying on this evil dragon,” Song Changming said with a sneer.

He would never entrust his safety to anyone else, especially an enemy.

The Star Devourer Dragon must die this time; there is no room for negotiation!
Song Changming's senses spread rapidly, repeatedly scanning the entire sealed space to ensure that the Star-Devouring Dragon was completely dead.

He didn't want any complications to arise!

the other side.

In the south of Yunzhou, not too far from the abyss, on the Red Earth Continent, somewhere.

A figure gazed intently toward the abyss.

His face has eight insect eyes, and from afar one can see thousands of aurora borealis breaking through the sky in the thick fog!

That was precisely when Song Changming was fighting the Star-Devouring Dragon at its most intense moment.

This figure was none other than Insect Two, possessed by the Star Devouring Dragon's divine sense.

When Song Changming broke into the sealed space and engaged in a fierce battle with the Star-Devouring Dragon, he sensed it and rushed over.

However, outside the abyss, there were many grandmasters guarding it with high-level rune arrays, so he couldn't break in at all.

Even if he managed to break in, there was nothing he could do.

After waiting and observing for a while, just as he was about to be unable to resist heading into the abyss, he suddenly shuddered and his expression became extremely incredulous.

"So, I've lost."

As the Star-Devouring Dragon's soul and spirit were annihilated, the Star-Devouring Dragon's divine consciousness on Insect Two also dissipated at that moment.

The insect's body suddenly collapsed and transformed into countless tiny white insects.

White worms were scattered all over the ground, their bellies turned inside out and completely shriveled.

At the same time, the vast amount of collected flesh and blood essence and life force completely went out of control and were released, causing a series of eerie blood mists to permeate the surrounding dozens of miles, which did not dissipate for a long time.

Almost simultaneously, throughout the Nine Provinces, the remnants of the Star-Devouring Dragon's divine will dissipated, the various identities attached to it suddenly died, and large amounts of eerie blood mist exploded on the spot, causing considerable chaos and suspicion in the local areas.

Outside the seal, the abyssal beasts suddenly stopped, looking around blankly, as if waking from a deep dream.

"What's going on?" Seeing that the abyssal beasts were no longer attacking, the group of grandmasters, who had been holding out for three days, were somewhat unaccustomed to it. They exchanged glances, but their expressions remained wary of the frenzied beasts.

"Could it be?" Gongshan Zhi's spirit, which had been weakened by overexertion, suddenly jolted.

"How much time has passed?" Gongshan Zhi asked.

“Ancestor, it has been three days and three nights.” An old talisman master beside him replied.

"The seal only caused intense activity on the first day, but gradually weakened over the next two days, eventually returning to stillness."

As the old talisman master was speaking, the surrounding abyssal beasts suddenly retreated and left, completely abandoning their attack. They ignored all of them and were even more afraid of the seal below, fleeing in terror.

“If these strange beasts are all manipulated by that world-destroying beast, then their abnormal flight likely indicates something!” Gongshan Zhi took a deep breath and said slowly, somewhat weakly.

Spending three days in this abyss was an unbearable burden on his already weakened body.

Weakness was inevitable, and he was even somewhat exhausted from repairing the seal. The old man knew very well that after this matter was over, he probably didn't have much time left.
King Yun was the first to react, and exclaimed with great joy, "It was His Majesty who slew that Star-Devouring Dragon!"

Upon hearing this, everyone who had been holding their breath was overjoyed.

"That's great!"

"Don't worry, everything will be clear once His Majesty comes out!"

Everyone eagerly awaited their predictions, hoping they would come true.

And the result didn't keep them waiting too long.

A portal of light, so familiar to them, reappeared in the Abyss.

Song Changming and Yuan San emerged from there one after the other.

"His Majesty!!"

Yun Wang and the others were all in high spirits, their joy barely concealed.

"That demonic dragon."

Song Changming didn't keep everyone in suspense; a simple smile was enough to reassure everyone and lead to a conclusion: "He's dead!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that the world-ending calamity and the extraterrestrial demons would no longer exist after today, and they no longer needed to worry about anything!
From then on, the human race established itself in the Nine Provinces, free from disasters and hardships, with no more heavy burdens in their hearts and no more dark clouds overhead.

Song Changming's feat of slaying the dragon is destined to be recorded in history and praised for all time.

After a while, Song Changming had taken Yuan San back to rest and recover from the exhaustion of the battle.

The group was left behind, staring at the sealed formation whose bottom was now completely empty.

"Emperor Yuan sealed the demonic dragon for ten thousand years, and now Your Majesty has completed the dragon-slaying. It is truly a blessing for the human race to produce two emperors like these!"

"This dragon slaying was also thanks to the efforts of Emperor Yuan back then."

Without the seal as a prelude, which would have consumed ten thousand years of the Star-Devouring Dragon's lifespan, Song Changming would not have been able to accomplish the feat of slaying the dragon today.

This could even be described as a relay race between two human emperors across time and space, a joint effort to slay the dragon!

"After today, I think this seal will no longer be necessary." Gongshan Zhichang let out a long sigh, as if he had finally unloaded the burden of his life.

In the past, these veteran talisman masters all had a lifelong research project: studying this tenth-order seal.

Today, this lifelong subject still exists, but it has lost its most important meaning.

Now, this tenth-order star-sealing array is just a top-level rune array, no longer closely related to the safety of the human race.

"Let's go back. Staying in this abyss for too long makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Yeah, let's go back."

Dozens of streaks of light flew out from the entrance of the abyss and dispersed.

The abyss remains unchanged, continuously releasing abyssal energy, forging an insurmountable barrier.

Those beasts had to rely on the released abyssal energy to survive, and even without the influence of the Star Devouring Dragon's will, they did not scatter.

However, compared to the past, they are much more docile, no longer so wild and violent, and mostly dormant.

In the human realm, King Yun did not publicize the elimination of the Star-Devouring Dragon, a major threat to world domination. Instead, he ordered people to quietly record it and compile it into a book.

In the future, those who will be able to access these human secrets will only be those in high positions of power or a few grandmaster-level experts.

Ordinary people don't know what the Star Devourer Dragon is, nor do they need to know.

All they need to know is that humanity has had another peaceful and harmonious day.

One month later, at the Heavenly Dao Academy in the Three Thousand Spirit Mountains.

In a quiet spot on the back mountain, in an old house, the very old Gongshan Zhi lay with his eyes closed on a bamboo bench, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

The bench swayed gently, and a palm-leaf fan stirred a breeze; the old ancestor of the talismanic arts seemed to be about to drift off to sleep.

Birds perched on the old tree, chirping intermittently, but their chirping was not annoying.

"A lifetime dedicated to the art of talismans, a rare moment of leisure indeed."

The old ancestor looked at the old tree and the clear blue sky, and smiled with satisfaction.

Gradually, the bench stopped swaying, and the palm-leaf fan held by the person also calmed down.

The Heavenly Dao Academy chose an auspicious day and gave this highly respected ancestor of the Talisman Dao a grand funeral.

His disciples numbered in the thousands, many of whom were quite old, and they wept bitterly on this day.

King Yun and other human nobles also came one after another to pay tribute to this highly respected elder.

A ray of light descended from the sky, and Song Changming, accompanied by Su Qingqing, the young girl Huang, and Heya, also arrived at the back mountain.

He studied talismanic arts at the Tiandao Academy for a while and received much guidance and kindness from Gongshan Zhi.

For both emotional and rational reasons, he had to come and pay his respects.

"His Majesty!"

Everyone was surprised to see Song Changming arrive and immediately bowed deeply.

Before this, they had no idea that the current emperor would come.

Normally, on such formal occasions, the Tianwu Emperor's Palace would send someone in advance to notify and prepare for the arrival of the emperor before they would arrive.

Instead of Song Changming's sudden visit.

It can only be said that Song Changming, this human emperor, was too casual and did not put on much of an imperial air in public.

"I'll offer incense to see the elder off on his way," Song Changming said, waving his hand. A stream of energy emanated from his palm, causing everyone to straighten up.

In this situation, Song Changming did not want to overshadow the host.

"May you rest in peace." Song Changming murmured as he gazed at Gongshan Zhi's memorial tablet.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that another person he knew had passed away.

clang!
The ancient bell on the mountain gate rang nine times, and all the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy heard it, realizing that the ancestor of the Talisman Dao had passed away.

evening.

The night sky was crystal clear, and the stars shone brighter than usual.

Even without candles lit, the mountain was still illuminated by starlight, and it was not a scene of complete darkness.

Beside the waterfall spring, on the edge of the cliff.

Song Changming and Li Jinyu sat casually on the ground, showing no signs of imperial demeanor.

"Qingqing, it's been a long time." Li Jinyu smiled at Su Qingqing.

They had crossed the abyss together from the Kingdom of Da Lai to the land of Kyushu, so they were naturally familiar with Su Qingqing.

"Brother Li, how have you been lately?" Su Qingqing naturally remembered Li Jinyu and smiled.

"Not bad. With such beautiful mountains, rivers, and scenery, and fine wine to accompany us, it was truly worth coming to Kyushu back then." Li Jinyu said with a carefree expression, as if he was also recalling many past events.

Now, Li Jinyu's appearance has gradually transitioned from middle age to old age.

Many of his hairs gradually turned white, his face became a little plump, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. When he smiled, he looked like a smiling Buddha, quite kind.

Speaking of which, Li Jinyu is indeed an extraordinary person.

Despite having no martial arts skills, he managed to live to be over two hundred years old, just like Song Changming.

And it seems that his time is far from coming.

In Song Changming's observation, Li Jinyu, like those martial arts masters, should have no problem living for four hundred years!
Such longevity is clearly not something that ordinary people can possess.

Previously, he had asked Li Jinyu out of curiosity, but Li Jinyu himself could not answer why he was so long-lived and different from ordinary people.

Song Changming, however, could see that Li Jinyu's human bloodline might have some unusual aspects.

Perhaps, like Su Qingqing, he also possesses the blood of immortality; this possibility is actually not small.

As for how Li Jinyu obtained the blood of immortality, that remains unknown.

After all, Li Jinyu didn't even know who her parents were, and she knew nothing about her background.

"Brother Li, let's cast another divination now and see what the future holds for humanity?" Song Changming said after Su Qingqing filled his cup with wine and he drank it all in one gulp.
