The Nether Dragon Demon Lord's massive body tensed slightly, and the Devilish Qi around him surged even more violently.
He sensed an indescribable aura from the starlight and this sudden appearance of the green-robed Cultivator.
"Who are you?"
The Nether Dragon Demon Lord roared, the sound waves vibrating the surrounding bones.
"How dare you trespass on this Lord's Dao field! You seek death!"
Although he was surprised and suspicious, he had the advantage of location and powerful strength as his backing. His ferocity instantly overwhelmed his vigilance.
A giant claw, covered in decaying Dragon scales, suddenly reached out, carrying monstrous Death Qi and the wails of countless vengeful spirits, grabbing down towards Han Xuanji!
This claw was enough to easily tear apart the protective Immortal light of an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Su Ming also suddenly remembered that the Nether Dragon Demon Lord had boasted about his strength; he was an old Demon of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Rank. Although Senior Brother Han was mysterious, his years of cultivation were short. Could he be an opponent?
"Senior Brother Han! Run! This old Demon is of the Taiyi Realm!"
Su Ming screamed with his last bit of strength.
Han Xuanji raised his right hand and directly unleashed the Nine Tribulation Immortal Execution Sword Formation.
This Sword Dao Divine Ability was his own creation, and he had been continuously perfecting it.
As Sword Intent ascended to the heavens, several more Immortal Swords appeared in the sky, each emanating an aura that could tear apart the firmament and destroy everything.
In an instant.
Countless sword lights flashed, instantly engulfing the Nether Dragon Demon Lord, piercing through endless Death Qi, and making the Nether Sea seem to shake a few times.
Su Ming was almost scared to death by this power.
Soon, Han Xuanji felt the Nether Dragon Demon Lord's aura completely dissipate, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
He used his Eyes of Destiny and found that he was indeed completely dead, which put his mind at ease.
After all, a strong person of this level had many tricks; even being ground to dust wasn't foolproof!
Inside the nest, the blood pool was now dry, and the vengeful spirits had dissipated.
Only the faint starlight shone down, illuminating Su Ming's face, which was filled with shock and bewilderment.
He stared blankly at Han Xuanji, who stood with his hands behind his back, his aura having returned to calmness, as if the earth-shattering method of crushing a Taiyi Realm Demonic Dragon just now was merely an illusion.
Han Xuanji turned and looked at Su Ming, flicking a Medicinal Pill into his mouth. The gentle medicinal power instantly flowed through Su Ming's entire body, healing his injuries.
This fellow was poor enough; he didn't gain any benefits from killing the opponent.
But then again, it was a resurrected dead Dragon; its former treasures had long been taken away, and there was no flesh and blood left. These bones were somewhat useful, but if used for refining treasures, one would have to wash away the resentment on them and incur the Karma of the Dragon Clan, which was completely unnecessary.
"Detected a Seven-Star Check-in location, 'True Dragon's Fallen Land.' Do you wish to check in?"
The System seemed to know that Han Xuanji had finished the battle and gave a prompt.
"Hmm?"
Han Xuanji was surprised.
The Nether Sea was incredibly vast, and he didn't expect this place to be a Seven-Star Check-in location.
It was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
"System, check in."
Han Xuanji silently chanted in his mind.
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully checking in at 'True Dragon's Fallen Land,' obtaining 'True Dragon Egg.'"
"This location cannot be checked in again."
"A True Dragon Egg? Is this asking me to raise a Dragon?"
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
In the Lower Realm, the Dragon Clan was a legendary existence; even a small amount of Dragon Clan Bloodline could be considered a powerful Yao Beast.
Even in the Upper Realm, the Dragon Clan was a powerful race that had existed since ancient times. A True Dragon-level Dragon was equivalent to a peerless Prodigy of the Human Race, comparable to the descendants of an Immortal King or even an Immortal Emperor, possessing Heavenly Immortal cultivation upon birth and capable of growing into a Golden Immortal-level being within ten thousand years.
And this True Dragon Egg, he wondered what connection it had to the Great Luo True Dragon?
Just as Han Xuanji was pondering, Su Ming finally recovered a bit and spoke weakly:
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
"It's fine now, let's go back."
Han Xuanji's tone remained as calm as ever.
"Oh."
Su Ming nodded dazedly, looking at Han Xuanji's back. For the first time, he so clearly realized just how terrifyingly strong this Senior Brother Han truly was!
And how fortunate he was to have met such a Senior Brother!
Han Xuanji swept his sleeve, taking Su Ming with him, transforming into a streak of light that instantly tore through the Nether Sea space and vanished.
In a flash, the two arrived at the Lingxu Immortal Domain.
Su Ming was somewhat dazed. Upon arriving in a familiar environment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Xuanji looked at Su Ming and said:
"After this tribulation, you should know that there are heavens beyond the heavens.
On the path of cultivation, while courageous and diligent progress is important, assessing the situation and knowing when to protect oneself is also wisdom.
In your future actions, you must be more cautious and no longer easily trespass into Secret Realms.
While the Sect is strong, it is not omnipotent."
Although he was nominally Su Ming's junior, he had always treated him as a Senior Brother and Elder.
Su Ming dared not retort and whispered:
"It was my fault. I troubled Senior Brother to act."
He knew Han Xuanji's strength was extraordinary, but hiding himself was probably waiting for an opportunity.
He wouldn't have delayed Han Xuanji's grand plan, would he?
That would make him a sinner.
Thinking of this, Su Ming felt quite remorseful.
"By the way, you should know how to respond to the Sect when the time comes, right?"
Han Xuanji reminded him.
Hearing this, Su Ming quickly nodded:
"Of course, I won't expose Senior Brother's identity."
"That's good."
Although Han Xuanji felt that his strength should be quite good, at least the various Chief Elders should have no way to deal with him.
However, there were many strong people in the Upper Realm. The River of Destiny, the Star Palace, and this Nether Sea all hid many strong people, so he couldn't be too reckless.
This time, he had also borne a lot of pressure by acting!
Fortunately, the enemy wasn't too strong.
This person of great Luck was truly a troublemaker. How long had it been, and he was already provoking a strong person of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Rank?
Han Xuanji returned to the Myriad Phenomena Garden.
Not long after, Li Taiqing also came over, somewhat worried:
"Master, do you have any news about Junior Martial Uncle Su Ming?"
Su Ming had become acquainted with him over the years, often discussing swords with him, and their relationship was quite good.
"I'm not sure, but I think he has great blessings and will be fine."
Han Xuanji said calmly.
"Is that so?"
Li Taiqing was originally very flustered, but hearing Han Xuanji's words, he felt a little relieved.
He felt that his Master was not a cold person. Perhaps he had received news early, or knew of Su Ming's safety through some means... Several days later.
When Su Ming returned to Lingxu Heavenly Palace alone, dragging his injured body, it immediately caused quite a stir within the Sect.
His survival from the perilous and unpredictable Nether Sea was nothing short of a miracle.
"Is this a person of Luck?"
A majestic-faced Elder stroked his long beard, his eyes filled with relief.
"According to Su Ming, his Dao foundation was about to be destroyed, and he was on the verge of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
Yet, a Senior expert happened to pass by, and out of a moment of kindness, he casually slew that Demonic Dragon. Such strength... Could it be a reclusive Immortal King Senior?"
