Chapter 495: Chapter 449: Joining Forces to Break the Seal

"Are you from the Demon Clan?" Xingchou asked in a deep voice, his brow furrowed.

Thinking about the White Vine she had just cut off, Xingchou immediately took out the Sealing Spirit Jade Box and tossed it into the distance.

The jade box landed and opened, with the White Vine inside turning into a colorless liquid that flowed out, corroding the ground, incredibly toxic.

Xingchou’s pupils narrowed, realizing that Jiang Yuebai had been hiding beside her all along. A chill surged up to her head, and thinking about how Jiang Yuebai might have seen her testing the Candle Dragon Restriction with blood, a hint of murderous intent appeared in her eyes.

"Where is your friend?" Xingchou scanned the surroundings. Aside from Jiang Yuebai, she had never seen that person.

Jiang Yuebai smiled slyly, "You guess."

Xingchou retreated again, quickly contemplating strategies.

Jiang Yuebai restrained her smile and sent a message, "Long story short, I know you can break the Candle Dragon Restriction, and coincidentally, I can break the Winged Dragon Restriction. So, I want to cooperate with you one more time. After breaking the restrictions, whatever is below, we rely on our abilities, how about it?"

"Why should I trust you?" Xingchou replied via message.

"In our previous transaction, wasn’t I sincere enough towards you? But you, knowing there was a safer route, still led me to the Bone Dragon," Jiang Yuebai said in a deep voice.

Xingchou, feeling no guilt, continued to look coldly at Jiang Yuebai.

"You guess, how did I distract the Bone Dragon and pass through that restriction?"

Upon hearing this, Xingchou thought for a moment and was already half convinced by Jiang Yuebai. If the Dragon Clan’s restriction can’t be forcibly dismantled, it can only be broken by the abilities of the Dragon Clan.

Xingchou slightly restrained her aura. She and her father were the last of the Zhangwei Mountain people, and the things below originally belonged to their ancestors from Zhangwei Mountain.

Her father stubbornly remained guarding the legacy of the Zhangwei Mountain people, working as a Tomb Guardian to protect the place from being discovered. The last time she came to explore, she was discovered by Hek Shan and barely escaped with her life after a heavy injury.

In Xingchou’s view, since the Zhangwei Mountain people are almost extinct, what’s the point of guarding the ancestral tomb? It would be better to find a way to take the things inside and leave this place or even this world as soon as possible.

With the vast world outside, where can’t you cultivate?

Having made up her mind, Xingchou lowered her guard, stood up straight, convinced that her ancestors’ relics would always take care of her, the last descendant.

"Two hours, if you can’t break the Winged Dragon Restriction, I’ll leave immediately. If you break it, as you said, whatever’s below we rely on our abilities, no regrets in life and death!"

"Alright!"

"Call your friend out!"

"I was bluffing, it’s just me, really!"

"..."

Xingchou gritted her teeth, watching as Jiang Yuebai walked towards the Winged Dragon’s head. True or false, Jiang Yuebai’s ambiguity made Xingchou unsure if there was an ambush around. Given Jiang Yuebai’s ability to hide, ambushing someone was entirely possible.

But from start to finish, she really hadn’t seen that person, so Jiang Yuebai bluffing her was also a possibility.

"Damn it!"

Xingchou retreated to the Candle Dragon’s head, not rushing to break the restriction, and kept a constant watch on Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai leisurely faced Xingchou, secretly activating the Primordial Magnetic Ruler hidden in her sleeve, erecting a Black Primordial Magnetic Sand Wall in front of Xingchou, blocking vision and Divine Sense probing.

The White Vine Avatar switched places with her main body, with Lu Nanzhi guarding the surroundings in secret, allowing Jiang Yuebai to focus entirely on the Winged Dragon Restriction.

She had just used the Space Great Forbidden Technique, and her Divine Soul was weak, needing fifteen days for complete recovery. Now was not the best time for her.

But opportunities don’t wait, and she had no choice.

Jiang Yuebai took out a Merfolk Pearl, holding it in her hand. The aura on it could accelerate her Divine Soul’s recovery, and she no longer cared about wastage.

Jiang Yuebai closed her eyes, focusing all her attention in her Sea of Consciousness.

The pure white Divine Elixir hung like a full moon above the Sea of Consciousness, with moonlight illuminating every part of it, like another small world. At the center of the Sea of Consciousness grew a white plant that had formed nine pairs of Leaf Hands.

Not resembling the Immortal Ganoderma anymore, it looked more like a tree, with a white Rootless Vine entwined around it, growing straight upwards, connecting with the moonlight from the Divine Elixir.

Colorful specks of light danced around like fireflies, representing her Five Elements Spiritual Body’s traits.

Two bolts of thunder—one black, one white—silently split the air, representing her mastery of Water Thunder and Jian Palace Thunder, with a Little Phoenix composed of flames perched atop the Thousand Hands Tree.

Jiang Yuebai focused her Divine Sense on the Divine Elixir, invoking the black speck of light representing water, and guided her internal Essence Qi to condense into a drop of Essence Blood.

Within the Essence Blood, there was a faint presence of Long Wei.

Jiang Yuebai opened her eyes, using two fingers to touch her brow, extracting the Essence Blood, and shot it toward the Winged Dragon Restriction.

It was like a key entering a lock; the restriction sensed the pure aura of Winged Dragon Essence Blood and began dissolving layer by layer.

But there were too many restrictions, requiring Jiang Yuebai to continually supply Spiritual Energy. Before long, she felt her Spiritual Energy had been reduced by half.

At this rate, she feared she wouldn’t last until the restrictions were fully broken.

Reluctant to use Spirit Stones, the Spiritual Energy here was still quite rich, so Jiang Yuebai employed the Method of Plundering Heaven and Earth, quickly forming a Spiritual Energy Vortex above her head, wildly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy into her body.

Meanwhile, the Golden Core in her Dantian spun faster, creating a Spiritual Energy Whirlpool that expelled all harmful foreign gases from her body.

Just then, a black light shot up from Jiang Yuebai’s waist, with the Black Cauldron flying out on its own, crashing into the Spiritual Energy Vortex above her head.

The sudden change shocked Lu Nanzhi, who was about to draw her sword to cut down the Black Cauldron, but Jiang Yuebai quickly gestured to stop her.

The Black Cauldron hovered at the center of the Spiritual Energy Vortex, and as the cauldron lid gradually opened, there was no Huntian Remnant Soul or any such presence inside.

The Black Cauldron, like a hungry Taotie, followed the vortex, continuously absorbing Spiritual Energy. Subtly, Jiang Yuebai felt a connection forming between her and the cauldron.

This connection came from the Method of Plundering Heaven and Earth she was using, also known as the Heaven-Swallowing Technique.

She wasn’t wrong; the cauldron required a special Method to activate, and that Method must be the complete Chaos Devouring Heaven Technique.

Jiang Yuebai paused the plundering and stored the now-confirmed safe cauldron inside the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, then took out Spirit Stones to continue breaking the restriction.

One hour later, having consumed over five thousand Top-Grade spiritual stones, the Winged Dragon Restriction in front of her finally disappeared completely.

Rumble!

Surging power transmitted from underfoot to the Dragon Head, accumulating in the Dragon’s Mouth.

She removed the Black Magnetic Sand, and beside her, Xingchou, also having broken the Candle Dragon Restriction, watched as differently colored light spheres grew larger in the mouths of the nine dragon heads.

Boom!

Nine beams of light erupted, colliding into one point in the darkness above the Abyss. The majestic and vast energy wave spread out, sweeping everyone off their feet.

Jiang Yuebai threw out a White Vine, tightly wrapping around a Winged Dragon Horn to steady herself, seeing a water-like whirlpool appear in the darkness.

Xingchou got up, glanced at Jiang Yuebai, and without hesitation, dashed over, leaping from the Candle Dragon’s head and plunging into the whirlpool, disappearing.

After one person entered, the whirlpool trembled and began to dissipate.

"Go!"

Jiang Yuebai called to Lu Nanzhi, using the White Vine to bind their arms together to avoid separation, and they jumped into the whirlpool from the Winged Dragon’s head.

Just as the three entered, a Tunneling Light came storming in from outside, revealing Hongchen in a black robe.

Seeing only the last bit of the whirlpool left, she had no time to hesitate and rushed forward, trying to leap into it. However, just as she reached the Azure Dragon’s head, a restriction barrier suddenly spread, sending her flying back.

The whirlpool vanished completely.

Hongchen stood up, witnessing the nine dragon heads on which the restrictions had been broken were now fully restored. She was shocked and couldn’t believe her eyes.

If Hek Shan returned to see this, he might just cough up blood from anger!
