Chapter 762: The Unpredictable Change!

The six metal-elemental, peak Qian-level dragon cultivators collapsed onto the ground immediately.
No one had expected something like this would happen.
The magnificent ninth heavenly lightning bolt poured down from the high sky. This heavenly lightning bolt was the final one of this Heavenly Tribulation, and its power was equivalent to all the previous eight heavenly lightning bolts combined.
If Su Han could withstand this heavenly lightning bolt, she would achieve the breakthrough and reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
At this moment, Taiyi Cave Master suddenly changed into his black dragon form and dashed toward Su Han!
However, he wasn’t dashing toward Su Han precisely but to the heavenly lightning bolt above Su Han!
Not only Hao Ren but the nine Deputy Shrine Masters of the Dragon God Shrine froze at this scene as well!
Was the Taiyi Cave Master seeking his death?!
Bam! The heavenly lightning bolt struck Taiyi Cave Master’s black dragon body before it reached Su Han.
Taiyi Cave Master instantly released a black light which filled the sky and absorbed almost all the energy of the last heavenly lightning bolt!
The six seriously wounded metal-elemental dragon elders struggled to get up from the ground and realized that they had been tricked when they saw the black dragon in the white blinding lightning.
No one had thought that Taiyi Cave Master, the most senior member of the Elder Council of the metal-elemental dragon clan, had given up the righteous dragon cultivation and turned to evil cultivation!
A metal-elemental dragon cultivator who had reached peak Qian-level would have a golden or white dragon body!
However, Taiyi Cave Master had turned into a weird black color. Not only were his dragon scales black, but his breath was black as well.
It was an evil dragon! The people in the area wondered where Taiyi Cave Master got this evil technique!
Different from the five elemental dragon clans, the evil dragons were not afraid of Heavenly Tribulations. They were born in the boundless void and would turn into devil dragons after the strikes from the Heavenly Dao!
Bang!
The last heavenly lightning bolt that was meant for Su Han had been blocked by Taiyi Cave Master!
Hao Ren had wanted to dash up when he saw Taiyi Cave Master rushing up in his black dragon form. However, he had thought that the heavenly lightning bolt would kill Taiyi Cave Master. Besides, no one dared to make a rash move at the last heavenly lightning bolt.
Hao Ren hadn’t expected that the black dragon would swallow all the heavenly lightning bolt and release layers of black mist!
“You.. will die!”
The black dragon roared in Taiyi Cave Master’s voice before flying toward Hao Ren with its black devil dragon body.
“Devil dragon! Don’t you dare!”
A bright black light shot from the direction of the Dragon God Shrine while Yue Zilong instantly moved to stand before Hao Ren immediately. His fists expanded to the size of millstones, punching out with violent force.
Thud! Yue Zilong whose body had expanded to twice its previous size was sent flying.
The black devil dragon paused slightly and retreated half a meter before reaching out its claws to grab Xie Yujia who was standing by Hao Ren’s side.
Surprised that Yue Zilong had blocked the attack for him, Hao Ren used the precious half-second that Yue Zilong gained for him to release Zhao Haoran’s strength of peak Qian-level.
The mystic crystal in his chest released five-colored lights while Hao Ren’s nature essence turned into sword energies at his control and stabbed at the black devil dragon like a flooding river.
“Explode!”
When the sword energies stabbed into the black dragon’s body like many needles, Hao Ren clenched his fists and controlled the nature essence, triggering the sword energies to explode inside Taiyi Cave Master’s dragon body.
“Roar!” Taiyi Cave Master lifted his black dragon head and froze for half a second in pain.
Hum!
A flowing black light shot out from the top floor of the Dragon God Shrine.
The evil dragon shook its tail and instantly absorbed all the sword energies that were in its body before flying up hundreds of meters, waving its dragon claws.
Whoosh! The black light shot by the Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine cut off half of its dragon tail!
A great amount of black blood gushed out!
Xu Ke’s body that was lying on the ground turned into a puddle of black liquid instantly when the black blood splashed on it.
Dragon blood was an excellent tonic, but the blood of devil dragons was deadly upon touch!
Zhao Yanzi was pale with fright while Xie Yujia could barely keep her balance when she saw the devil dragon trying to grab her. If Hao Ren didn’t block it for her with all his force, she would be gone already.
As young girls in the city, they had never witnessed such a fierce battle. If not for Hao Ren’s brave act, the devil dragon would have gotten them.
Knowing that it couldn’t catch Xie Yujia, the devil dragon wagged its remaining dragon tail and released giant waves of black light while it fled of the platform of the Dragon God Shrine.
Yue Zilong covered his chest and looked up at the top floor of the Dragon God Shrine, yelling, “Shrine Master!”
Another black light shot out from the top floor of the Dragon God Shrine, but it couldn’t reach the area outside of the platform. Yue Zilong was hoping that the Shrine Master would rush out of the Dragon God Shrine to kill the black dragon. However, a slight sigh came from the top floor, and no more attacks followed.
“Hahaha.. The rumor is true! The Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine can’t come out!” The devil dragon fled from the platform while he laughed arrogantly.
The six metal-elemental dragon elders got up from the ground and realized that Taiyi Cave Master had tricked them. It was a scheme of his to come to the Dragon God Shrine!
His purpose was to use the energy of the heavenly lightning bolt in Su Han’s Heavenly Tribulation to turn himself into an ancient devil dragon!
The six metal-elemental dragon cultivators were tricked into the Dragon God Shrine, and they were attacked from the back by him. He had used them!
According to their investigation, Taiyi Cave Master’s disciple Wang Shitong, another peak Qian-level cultivator in the Elder Council, had been killed while he went to catch a small demon king in East Ocean City!
It was probably Taiyi Cave Master who had told Wang Shitong the information about the small demon king!
He had tried to get his disciple to catch this small demon king so that he could improve his evil cultivation strength, so he lied to his disciple and sacrificed a metal-elemental dragon elder!
Who would have thought that Taiyi Cave Master who had the largest number of disciples in the metal-elemental dragon clan would pursue the road of devil dragon instead of charging at the Heavenly Dragon Realm!
“Release again!” Hao Ren shot more than 30 hundun lightning bolts from his hands!
The sword energies that he exploded in the devil dragon’s body were absorbed by the latter, which brought great damage to Hao Ren’s mind.
However, seeing Taiyi Cave Master trying to flee, Hao Ren wouldn’t let him go so easily!
After launching the lightning bolts, Hao Ren flew up to chase after him!
“Sister Su!” Zhao Yanzi yelled suddenly.
Hao Ren looked back and saw Su Han laying motionless on the platform, and his heart turned cold.
Meanwhile, the six metal-elemental dragon elders suddenly changed into their golden dragon forms, and the six metal-elemental dragons with flashing golden scales and blinding white light around them dashed toward the devil dragon which was engulfed in the black mist!
Among the eight elders in the Elders Council of the metal-elemental dragon clan, except for Wang Shitong who was the youngest one without his own force and Taiyi Cave Master who had the greatest strength, the other six were all senior metal-elemental dragon cultivators.
They knew that they must catch Taiyi Cave Master. Otherwise, the metal-elemental dragon clan couldn’t get out of the tricky situation!
More importantly, the six elders wouldn’t be able to answer the questions from other metal-elemental dragon cultivators!
Although the six metal-elemental dragon elders each had their own technique and power, they had to change into their dragon forms at this moment! Taiyi Cave Master attacked them from the behind and almost broke their bodies.
However, due to Hao Ren and Yue Zilong’s efforts, they had had a few seconds to recover their strengths. A metal-elemental dragon caused the situation, so metal-elemental dragons must solve it!
In the sky, six giant golden metal-elemental dragons surrounded the black devil dragon.
A fierce battle!
At this moment, the metal-elemental dragon elders threw out all the distracting thoughts, determined to stop the devil dragon even if they would be covered in wounds!
Boom! Boom… The nine Deputy Shrine Masters of the Dragon God Shrine had all changed into their dragon forms and dashed into the sky as well!
The Dragon God Shrine and metal-elemental dragon clan had never had dealings with each other, let alone co-operations. However, today’s event involved the Dragon God Shrine and Inspector Su Han, which was why the nine Deputy Shrine Masters joined the fight!
Yellow, red, black, and green!
Earth, fire, water, and wood! The nine Deputy Shrine Masters had different elemental attributes!
The 15 giant dragons that could destroy mountains and rivers surrounded the devil dragon, plunging their claws toward it!
The level 4 inspectors remaining on the platform saw the 15 giant peak Qian-level dragons surrounding the devil dragon in a tight circle. Knowing that their combat strengths were too weak to join the battle, they had to remain where they were and watched the fight in the high sky anxiously.
The inspectors lower than level 3 had been floating outside of the Dragon God Shrine. Seeing this battle, they immediately flew to the distance to stay away, knowing that any dash of violent energy from the battle would be enough to kill them!
Stepping on a sword energy, Hao Ren flew to Su Han’s side and helped her up before Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi reached her.
Su Han would have passed the last heavenly lightning bolt successfully if Taiyi Cave Master hadn’t blocked it in the last moment.
It was not a good thing for Su Han!
It was similar to a runner suddenly realizing that the last step was removed at the last moment!
Without the heavenly lightning bolt’s strike, the energy that was about to be released from Su Han’s body had instantly exploded in her body!
“Sister Su!”
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia raced to Su Han’s side.
Due to their extreme anxiety, they had forgotten to use their dharma treasures to fly; they had run over on foot.
At this moment, Su Han’s eyes were tightly closed, and her lips looked pale. She even couldn’t hold her natal dharma treasure and let it fall on the ground beside her.
Xie Yujia dug out three elixir pills immediately and stuffed them into Su Han’s mouth. She had specially made these three level 6 pills for Hao Ren by combining dozens of level 5 pills. Now, she took out these best elixir pills to save Su Han.
Hao Ren patted lightly on Su Han’s chest, sending these three pills into her stomach from her throat.
She looked to be on the verge of death. With the energy that was great enough to block the ninth heavenly lightning bolt exploding inside her body, it was more damaging than letting the ninth heavenly lightning bolt strike her body.
Bang! The battle in the high sky had ended in a flash while Hao Ren gave up his chase of Taiyi Cave Master and flew over to check on Su Han.
The six golden dragons were knocked back while the nine Deputy Shrine Masters were all sent flying.
The level 4 inspectors had thought that the devil dragon with only half a tail left was no match for 15 peak Qian-level cultivators, and now they were horrified.
Seeing the black dragon turning its gaze toward him, Qin Shaoyang was scared and tried to flee from the Dragon God Shrine on his natal dharma treasure.
“Wastrel!”
The black dragon shot out a beam of devil essence which pierced the array formation of the Dragon God Shrine.
Qin Shaoyang felt like he was immobilized. Alarmed, he saw Hao Ren at the center of the platform and yelled, “Hao Ren, help me!”
However, the moment that he said those words, his chest was pierced by the devil essence.
With his horrified expression and a wide-open mouth, he dropped to the ground.
The metal-elemental dragon elders who had been knocked back onto the platform of the Dragon God Shrine looked at the black dragon in the high sky with astonishment.
If Qin Shaoyang could reach Qian-level, he would have known that he was the son of Taiyi Cave Master!
Taiyi Cave Master had even killed his own son!
Boom! The black devil dragon flew toward the direction of East ocean at great speed.
