Ya Zi's body inflated to the size of a volcano, leopard-bodied and dragon-headed, with a crimson hue all over.

Its head resembled a dragon, with two dragon horns pointing straight back, but its body was more akin to a leopard, with blazing flames burning from its back to its tail.

Fang Zhou was startled by Ya Zi's transformation; though there were spells in the Cultivation World that transformed one into a Divine Beast, it was the first time seeing something so realistic and enormous like Ya Zi.

Ling Xiaoyue warned, "Don't think she just transformed; the Demon Sect claims to be True Dragon descendants, and it's no joke. Whether it's the Sect Hierarch or the heads of various departments, they all possess Dragon Clan bloodline. She's reverting to her true form and possesses the strength of a Dragon Child."

Fang Zhou's heart sank at once; if it was merely a transformation, it wouldn't be so bad, just an appearance after all.

But Ling Xiaoyue actually said Ya Zi had a true bloodline.

That would be tough to handle.

Fang Zhou gave her a sideways glance, "What should we do then?"

He held back the urge to suggest running away.

Usually, he mocked Ling Xiaoyue for fleeing when danger came, so if he suggested running now, he'd surely be teased by her later.

"What's there to fear? We're like-minded master and apprentice, invincible together."

Ling Xiaoyue stretched a hand around Fang Zhou's shoulder, chuckling, "You've become so strong after not seeing you for just ten days. I almost don't recognize you. Did you have some fortuitous encounter? Is there any share for your teacher?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Fang Zhou's gourd.

Fang Zhou slapped her hand away forcefully, annoyed, "Is this the time for jokes? Can't you be serious for once?"

Ya Zi had completely transformed, its massive body landing on the ground, and when its limbs made contact, there was a thundering boom, causing the mountains to tremble.

It raised its dragon head and let out a piercing roar aimed at Fang Zhou and Ling Xiaoyue!

"Roar!!"

The roar was clearly from a dragon, far more powerful than the previous roar of the Three-headed Dragon.

With this roar, the heavens and earth seemed to change color, and a black whirlwind arose, sweeping towards the two.

The gale was almost like a level twelve hurricane, making the wine pot sway.

Fang Zhou hurriedly hid behind Ling Xiaoyue, using her to evade the black wind.

Ling Xiaoyue raised her palm and drew forward, an invisible edge grew from her fingertips, slicing through the oncoming wind.

Fang Zhou poked his head from behind Ling Xiaoyue, "Wow, this looks hard to fight. I have a plan, why don't you divert it, while I take out the Three-headed Dragon, and we can leave this place first?"

"No backbone, when has our sect ever feared trouble? How can we flee from battle?"

Ling Xiaoyue pulled Fang Zhou out from behind and lectured.

Unfortunately, these words from her sounded particularly unconvincing.

Ling Xiaoyue must have forgotten teaching Fang Zhou the saying "If you can't beat them, run."

Fang Zhou was surprised, "Are you really going to fight? She's in the Golden Core Realm!"

Ling Xiaoyue struggled so much dealing with a fraudulent Golden Core Tree Demon before, and even though she had grown stronger recently, there was still a big gap between them and a legitimate Golden Core, right?

Why does she seem so confident now?

"Oh, you're annoying, aren't you? Your teacher isn't running, what are you afraid of?"

Ling Xiaoyue directly drew out her Longsword and tossed it into the air.

The Longsword soared into the sky and exploded, transforming into a sea of stars, instantly turning the dark night sky into a galaxy, much more realistic than Fang Zhou's illusion created with the Celestial Stars Sword.

Ya Zi aimed at Ling Xiaoyue and Fang Zhou, opened its mouth, and spewed forth a torrent of dragon flames.

The temperature of these dragon flames was so high that the air itself would burn dry wherever they reached.

Even before being touched, Fang Zhou could feel the scorching heat coming towards him, distorting the air around him.

This was far more terrifying than the molten flame spewed by the Three-headed Dragon earlier.

Ling Xiaoyue didn't dare to brace it head-on and quickly maneuvered the wine pot to evade.

Ya Zi swung its head, relentlessly chasing the wine pot with the column of flames, hitting mountain peaks that instantly melted into bright orange liquid.

As Ling Xiaoyue dodged, she began to counterattack, and meteors in the sky started to fall, trailing long tails of light.

Fang Zhou looked up at the falling stars, like a meteor shower descending upon the earth. These, too, seemed to be the Celestial Stars Sword but of a higher level.

The range covered by the stars was even broader, with Ya Zi having nowhere to hide, as it raised its head to spit dragon flames at the sky.

The sky was already filled with thick smoke and volcanic ash from the eruption, and Ya Zi's dragon fire ignited the untouched dust above.

A large area of red flames ignited and spread through the sky, like blood continuously invading the darkness.

In an instant, the smoke and volcanic ash floating in the air were set ablaze by the dragon fire, transforming into a fiery cloud, turning the entire world blood-red, like the apocalypse.

Falling stars entered the fiery clouds, exploding upon impact, causing further explosions and intensifying the fiery clouds.

However, many stars penetrated the fiery clouds, descending towards Ya Zi.

These falling meteors seemed slow but were incredibly fast, accurately locking onto Ya Zi's massive body.

Ya Zi dodged while continuing to spray dragon flames upward, the scorching column sweeping back and forth like a laser, detonating the descending stars.

But more stars came from all directions, accurately hitting the dodging Ya Zi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous, shocking explosions resounded, and within moments, the Dragon Child was engulfed by the stars, interrupting its dragon flames.

Before the stars finished falling and the explosions ceased, Ya Zi leapt out from within.

It looked rather battered, with multiple injuries on its body and the dragon horns on its head partially broken.

"Huh?"

Fang Zhou was quite surprised, this Ya Zi seemed not as resilient as expected.

Ling Xiaoyue laughed and mocked Fang Zhou's astonishment, "It's not the real Ya Zi, just has some blood lineage. Originally, Ya Zi was just a dragon hybrid, and she with only a bit of lineage is even more mixed than a mixed breed."

Fang Zhou understood where Ling Xiaoyue's confidence came from.

But even if it's a mixed breed within mixed breeds, Ya Zi is currently a bona fide Golden Core Realm. This power is undeniable, not something the master and apprentice can take lightly.

After jumping out, Ya Zi rushed directly towards Fang Zhou and Ling Xiaoyue, seemingly intending to shred them apart with its claws.

Ling Xiaoyue hurriedly controlled the wine pot and fled, though she spoke lightly, when truly faced with Ya Zi's fierce charge, she chose to widen the distance decidedly.

The wine pot flew swiftly, leaving behind a faint afterimage.

But Ya Zi was even faster; though unable to fly in its true form, it leaped and bounded across the terrain, crushing several foothills, and its massive body traversed vast distances in an instant.

Fang Zhou and Ling Xiaoyue felt the darkness overhead as they raised their heads, seeing Ya Zi's terrifying maw descending upon them.

Crunch!

Ya Zi bit down, swallowing the master and disciple along with the wine pot, similar to eating two ants.
