Chapter 76: Withered Glory Never Dies

  Han De fell instantly after losing the idea of resistance, but it was actually the old woman Ku Rong who had great strength, and she immediately took out the acquired spiritual treasure dragon head cane in her hand, and the huge dragon head cane tightly protected Ku Rong.

  A surge of mana poured into the dragon-headed cane, and in an instant, the Heavenly Light Pillar was facing off against the dragon-headed cane.

  "This withered old woman is really formidable, she can actually contend against the innate divine power of the Howling Moon Divine Dog!"

  Zhao Zhuang watched with a dazed expression, it's really that one can't gain wisdom without experiencing things, only by witnessing the struggles of the strong can one feel the strength of these powerful individuals.

  It was clear that Zhao Zhuo had overestimated the strength of Ku Rong's wife. At this time, Ku Rong's wife's face, which was originally as dry as tree bark, looked even more unpleasant, and her chicken-like hands were bulging with veins, looking extremely frightening.

  "Green Snake and White-haired Bird, obey my decree, return to one!"

  As soon as the old woman shouted, two Buddhist images burst out of her body and turned back to rush into her body. In an instant, the old woman's aura suddenly increased several times, just like she had taken a great tonic pill.

  Feeling the powerful and majestic force surging throughout her body, Kuang Rong Po Po borrowed the power of returning to one to suddenly raise her strength to the Dao Jun period. The kind of power that seemed to be able to destroy the stars with a single move made Kuang Rong Po Po excitedly tremble all over.

  In an instant, the enormous pressure that had been weighing on Kuorong's body seemed to have vanished. However, Kuorong was clear in her mind that it wasn't that the pressure had disappeared, but rather that her own strength had become powerful enough to render the pressure negligible.

  The Xīyuè Shén Quǎn, which had almost exhausted all its strength to display its innate divine ability, thought it could kill both the Dry Prosperity Crone and Han De. Even if it would be weakened for a hundred years, it was worth it. However, the divine ability that descended in the dark of night only killed Han De, but was blocked by the Dry Prosperity Crone's massive explosion.

  The Moon Howling Divine Dog knew that only those who had cultivated the Return to One Period could use the forbidden technique, and afterwards they would definitely become extremely weak. However, by then he himself would also have no resistance, and he was afraid that he would really be subdued by Ku Rong's secret technique.

  The Moon Howling God Dog would never stoop to being a spirit beast controlled by the withered old woman, otherwise it wouldn't have desperately tried to kill the two of them.

  It's hard for a dog like Xiao Yue who has always been free to imagine what it would be like to lose that freedom and be at the mercy of others, driving him crazy with torment.

  "Ahh!"

  A shrill, long howl, the Moon-whispering Divine Dog opened its mouth wide, and a dazzling, demonic pellet shot out of its mouth. In an instant, that column of light expanded dozens of times, as if the round moon in the sky had descended from heaven.

  Ka ka, the old woman Ku Rong obviously didn't expect that Xiao Yue's divine dog would rather destroy the demon pill and revert to being an ordinary demon beast than submit.

  It's clear that this elixir isn't something to be angry about, after all, the essence of the Moon Howling Divine Dog is contained within it, and the innate divine abilities it triggers are several times stronger than before.

  "You damned Moon Howling God Dog, I'll skin you alive, rip out your tendons and chop your corpse into a million pieces!"

  That voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell made Zhao Shuo shudder and say, "It's too terrifying! This old woman wants to capture people, but doesn't even allow others to resist!"

  "Look quickly, Granny Kuang is going all out this time!"

  Only to see the originally somewhat relaxed withered old woman's long hair rapidly turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye, while at the same time her originally dry and shriveled hands that were exposed outside suddenly shrank drastically, as if all the blood and flesh had disappeared, making it seem as though she had turned into a skull.

  "Rumble!"

  A loud roar, a massive impact force shot out in all directions, and more than ten miles away, Zhao Suo and Bai Jing were still unresponsive, and the whole person was like a leaf in the wind, easily blown open.

  With a loud cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was like being violently bumped by a rapidly running wild bull, his heart was stuffy, his eyes turned black, and he fainted.

  It was unclear how much time had passed when Zhao Xiao woke up in a daze, still not fully awake. Suddenly, his entire body was wracked with intense pain, as if he had fallen apart.

  When Zhao Xiao realized the situation he was in, a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his face. He had really bad luck; he was just peeking from afar, yet he still suffered from the misfortune of being near the explosion site. Fortunately, he was more than ten miles away from the epicenter of the blast, avoiding the initial shockwave. Otherwise, he would have been torn to shreds by that violent force.

  Fortunately, it was only a few broken ribs. Zhao Zhuo adjusted himself and stood up with difficulty after reconnecting the bones. His divine sense spread out, covering an area of dozens of miles around him.

  "I don't know where I've been blown to, and I don't know how far I've been blown away by the residual waves of that explosion. Jing Ge's cultivation is stronger than mine, so nothing should happen to him."

  In Zhao Zhuo's divine sense, countless flowers, grasses and trees uniformly leaned in one direction. If viewed from the air, it could be seen that the surrounding terrain had undergone tremendous changes, as if something had been pushed flat. Along the way, small hills were flattened, and slightly higher mountains were cut off in the middle.

  Zhao Duo was operating the Northern Ming Tian Di secret method to heal his wounds while rushing towards the center of the explosion. He wasn't going to look for the treasure of the Xue Yue God Dog, since he had already taken it away. Zhao Duo wanted to see if Ku Rong Po Po could still survive under such intense explosions, or if she would turn into ashes and leave behind any treasures on her body.

  After rushing for a whole day, under Zhao Zhuo's care, the injuries on his body had also healed by more than half. At least even if he encountered some ferocious beasts, he would have a certain degree of self-defense ability.

  What appeared in front of Zhao Zhuo was a vast lake covering an area of over ten miles, and if it weren't for the majestic mountains in front of him, Zhao Zhuo would have doubted whether he had come to the wrong place.

  Looking at the large lake in front of him, Zhao Shuo exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that the combined strength of Ku Rong Po Po and Xiao Yue Shen Quan would be able to create such a huge lake. The power is so strong, I'm sure Ku Rong Po Po has been blown to smithereens by now."

  Although he knew that Ku Rong's old woman was probably dead, thinking of her strong points still made Zhao Zhuo shiver. Such a strong person would not easily become his friend, but rather had a greater possibility of becoming an enemy, and dying would be even better.

  Just then, a jade bridge stretched across, one end resting in front of Zhao Zhuang, the other disappearing into the distance.

  "Yin Yang Bridge!"

  Zhao Duo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and saw a flash of light. The white lotus platform followed the rapidly shrinking Yin-Yang Naihe Bridge as it spanned the air.

  It seems that no one thought of using the Yin Yang Bridge for this purpose. Zhao Shuo was surprised and asked, "Jian Rong, are you alright?"

  Bai Jingjing was much better off than Zhao Zhuo, at least she didn't end up like Zhao Zhuo, who was both disheveled and injured. Bai Jingjing had only been blown a bit further away, but she hadn't suffered any injuries at all.

  Zhang Yue looked at Zhao Shuo and shook his head, saying: "I'm fine, but you're injured, yet you still dare to come here. Aren't you afraid that Ku Rong's wife isn't dead?"

  "Even if it's not death, I'm afraid it won't be much better. Even if we meet, who's stronger and who's weaker is still uncertain."

  Bai Jing said: "Let's search around and see if we can find anything"

  Zhao Duo sat with his legs crossed, nursing his wound. He had entrusted the task of investigation to Bai Jing and before long, he heard Bai say: "Zhao Duo, come quick! I've discovered something!"

  When Zhao Duo appeared beside Bai Jingjing, he saw that she was staring at a skull on the ground in surprise. Zhao Duo took a look and said: "Huh? It's actually a skull, how did a skull end up here?"

  At this moment, the skull suddenly opened its mouth and said: "Where did you come from, young man? You dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?"

  Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Zhuo instinctively took a few steps back, staring at the skull in a ghostly manner: "You! You're actually Ku Rong's old lady, how are you still alive?!"

  The withered old woman looked at Zhao Shuo and Bai Jing in surprise, saying: "What kind of people are you? Since you know my identity, why don't you quickly kowtow and pay your respects!"

  Zhao Duo curled his lip and coldly laughed at Ku Rong, saying: "I'm saying, Ku Rong, considering your age, I might be able to call you a senior. But has your brain been damaged by the Xi Yue divine dog? Even if you want to put on airs, it depends on the situation. Do you think that just because of the name 'Ku Rong' you can intimidate us?"

  Come on, everybody! Give me some motivation. Don't forget to collect and share, I need the momentum. Also, extend the update time for the public version, waiting for a big explosion.
