Shi Feiyang asked Huang Zhang, "Do you want to leave this place and gain freedom as soon as possible?"

Huang Zhang nodded vigorously, "I do!"

"Alright, then bear with this a bit!" Shi Feiyang grasped Huang Zhang's calf with his dragon claw and with a forceful pry, there was a "crack" as he broke his leg, then with his sharp giant dragon nails, he lightly sliced through the flesh, cutting it smoothly open.

Huang Zhang was in so much pain that he almost fainted; he tried to struggle, but half a dragon claw held his body firmly in place, rendering him unable to move, "What are you... going to do?"

Shi Feiyang removed the coral necklace from between his two leg bones, placed him on the ground, and Huang Zhang, holding his broken leg, wept bitterly, "I don't want to be crippled, wuuu... Why didn't you say you were going to cut off my leg in the beginning... Maybe my grandma could have saved me..."

"Who said you'd become disabled? Just lie down for now." Shi Feiyang's dragon body grew larger, resembling a chef who was about to cook, while Huang Zhang was like a little fish on the chopping board. He stretched Huang Zhang's body out, ordered him not to move, and spat out Queen Mother Dragon Saliva Ointment from his mouth, applying it to the two wounds on the calf. Then, using Dan Qi, he smoothed and realigned the broken bones, flesh, and tendons, blew a breath of Immortal Energy over them, and after a moment, he released the dragon claw, asking, "Does it still hurt?"

Huang Zhang's face was tear-stained, and after seriously feeling around, he shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Shi Feiyang loosened his dragon claw, and Huang Zhang sat up to look at his leg. He discovered that not only had the bones already fused together, but the skin and flesh were also rapidly regenerating, causing an odd itching sensation which he wanted to scratch but restrained himself. He watched excitedly as the flesh and bone that had been burnt to a crisp on his leg regenerated at a visible speed, and in a short time, it healed completely as if it were never injured.

He touched it tentatively, the skin on his calf soft and smooth without a trace of scarring. He then tried standing up and walking a few steps – there was not the slightest difference compared to before the injury. He ran and jumped a few steps, and there was absolutely no feeling of just having suffered such an injury.

Queen Mother Grass of ten thousand years can bring the dead back to life and mend white bones. Shi Feiyang had added a thousand-year-old Rejuvenation Grass to it, along with dozens of other types of Spiritual Medicines, all aged a thousand years. The medicinal ointment concocted surpassed the original effect of the Queen Mother Grass and even exceeded the Spiritual Jade Paste of Xiankong Ancestor.

After his elation, Huang Zhang bowed deeply to Shi Feiyang, "Huang Zhang is grateful for the great kindness of the Dragon God! I will convey the Seven Birds Divine Skill to you now."

Shi Feiyang said, "There's no hurry for that. I want to remove this ten-thousand-year-old coral first, then we'll find a suitable place to talk in detail."

Huang Zhang was very curious, "This ten-thousand-year-old coral has grown together with the reef below, and because of the presence of Magnetic True Qi, all Magical Treasures and Spells are difficult to employ, unless someone from the Demon Cult who has cultivated formidable Divine Demon strength attempts it."

Shi Feiyang flew around the coral for a circle. The ten-thousand-year-old coral was more than twenty Zhang long. Grasping the reef base with his dragon claw, he gave it a heave, making the coral sway slightly, causing the surrounding seawater to ripple along with it.

There was a door!

He first circumvented the reef base, shearing off the roots connecting the ten-thousand-year-old coral to the reef, then grabbed the main body of the coral and pulled with all his might upward.

He originally possessed the strength of a Black Dragon of three thousand years. Later, he cultivated two inner cores into True Yin and True Yang to form the Tai Chi Inner Core, evolving the mana gained through instincts of the original Black Dragon, transforming its properties. His mana was not only elevated but also after consuming numerous Elixirs, with both inner and outer elixirs simultaneously exerting their power, his strength increased by more than a hundredfold, and with just one pull, he uprooted the twenty Zhang long ten-thousand-year-old coral!

This coral had grown in this spot for tens of thousands of years and had long nurtured a Magnetic Core within. Before being uprooted, it was fine, but once separated from the reef below, it immediately attracted each other, and the greater the distance pulled apart, the stronger the attraction grew.

Shi Feiyang initially used a third of his strength to lift the coral five feet high, but the object became heavier, then he exerted eight-tenths of his strength to lift it three Zhang away.

By this time, the entire coral, heavier than mountains, was even more dramatically attracted to the magnetic energy of the reef plate below.

Shi Feiyang exerted twelvefold his strength, raising it another fifty feet. However, he had reached the limit of his abilities; he was still more than thirty feet from the upper edge of the bowl-shaped reef plate. He swallowed an Angry Mysterious Pill and forcibly stimulated his potential. The elixir transformed into Dan Qi, and a surge of its power charged into his Dantian, exploding upon entry! The two inner cores within his abdomen spun wildly, sending waves of the surging power to every part of his body.

With a roar, he made one last effort and finally lifted the ten-thousand-year-old coral over the rim of the great reef plate. Beyond this point, the strength of the Magnetic True Qi weakened.

Shi Feiyang propelled the coral upwards for more than a hundred feet before casting a spell to encase it within the Jade Box.

During his cultivation on Xiankong Island, he had made new breakthroughs in manipulating the Five Elements and compressing space, and the space inside the Jade Box had increased tenfold. Otherwise, it would not have been able to contain such a large coral.

Having successfully acquired the ten-thousand-year-old coral, he called over the Colorful Clam, Wu Qingyang, Liu Yu'an, Mi Tuo, and Huang Zhang, and together they headed for the surface.

They were still dozens of feet from the surface when Huang Zhang suddenly spoke up, "Dragon God, wait! I have just used the Seven Birds Divine Skill to divine our fate, and the Scatter-Flower Daoist who tormented me earlier has returned, lying in ambush for an assassination. He must be waiting for us right above the sea."

Not sure if Huang Zhang's divination was accurate, Shi Feiyang, believing in taking no chances, plucked a strand of seawater and shaped it into a dragon of the same size as himself. He blew a breath of Dan Qi into it, and the water dragon came to life. Using this dragon as the vanguard, he conjured four more and sent them ascending to the ocean's surface first.

Sure enough, the water dragon triggered the forbidden net, causing the sea within dozens of miles to boil as if scalding. Furthermore, myriads of Water Bombs exploded densely packed.

Shi Feiyang asked them to stay close together for mutual protection while he transformed and flew out of the water first.

Above, suspended in mid-air, stood a blue-robed Daoist with the appearance of a Scholar, looking gentle and scholarly, holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. Upon seeing the Black Dragon emerge from the sea, his face showed surprise.

Shi Feiyang questioned him, "Are you the Scatter-Flower Daoist?"

"Why, have you learned to speak the human tongue as well?" The Daoist's face lit up with delight, "Although I didn't lure the golden turtle, catching such a Black Dragon isn't bad either. Even though it's not a True Dragon, real True Dragons are rare nowadays, so one that's only one step away is still very good."

He wasn't conversing with Shi Feiyang but talking to himself. He didn't regard Shi Feiyang as a being capable of dialogue. In his eyes, Shi Feiyang was just a wild beast that could be captured and hunted at any time.

He waved his horsetail whisk, and immediately, a swath of pink Evil Qi descended from the sky. Within the evil aura, countless blossoms—peach, plum, apricot, begonia, osmanthus—formed and revolved, seeking their target. They locked onto the Black Dragon ahead and swarmed towards it.

Shi Feiyang exhaled a blast of fierce flames, the fire raging towards the heavens. He wildly burnt the pink Evil Qi which sizzled upon contact, rising with wisps of blue smoke and immediately producing a pungent scorched odor in the sea breeze.

At that moment, Liu Yu'an and Mi Tuo used their spells to emerge from the water's surface, and Huang Zhang also surfaced, standing on the clamshell, shouting loudly, "That's the Scatter-Flower Daoist, Dragon God Senior, you must show no mercy!"

Shi Feiyang had no intention of showing mercy to begin with. As soon as he spoke, he had already released his two inner cores.

When the Water and Fire Tai Chi Diagram appeared, the Scatter-Flower Daoist's eyes filled with shock. This was not something that could be cultivated by a wild Demon Beast. Recalling that the Black Dragon could speak human language, he released a vast expanse of red cloud evil light to resist the inner cores, at the same time, he called out loudly, "Is this dragon one that has been raised at home? Who is your master?"
