The Demon Dragon that flew out of the sea had one red eye and one black eye.

For Lu Linsheng, this was the worst possible timing, because he was at a critical juncture in devouring the Demon Dragon. The Demon Dragon was at the end of its rope, its remaining consciousness struggling in its death throes, delivering a powerful impact to Lu Linsheng that he couldn't suppress as quickly as before.

It was at this very moment that Supreme God Xuan Cang had come looking for him. Sensing the danger to Bai Ling, Lu Linsheng had no choice but to emerge, but he was truly in a less than ideal state.

For Supreme God Xuan Cang, the Demon Dragon was no easy foe either, otherwise he would have killed it once and for all the last time they fought.

As soon as they clashed, Supreme God Xuan Cang sensed something was off. Compared to last time, the Demon Dragon's severe injuries had almost completely healed, and its attacks were even more frenzied than before, willing to take a hit from him just to injure him in return, as if it had a vendetta over a murdered father and stolen wife.

Supreme God Xuan Cang was furious at this moment and showed no mercy in his attacks. The two dragons engaged in a frenzied battle in the sky. The originally clear skies over the East Sea rapidly filled with gloomy clouds, covering a large swath of ocean where lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

Most dragons can control water, and Supreme God Xuan Cang and the Demon Dragon were both top-notch among dragon-kind. As a result, whirlpools surged in the sea, and seawater condensed into countless sharp weapons, glinting with cold light as they swirled around the two dragons. The water blades around the Demon Dragon were tainted with its power, displaying an ominous gray-black, while those on Supreme God Xuan Cang's side were a frosty white. From afar, the contrast between black and white clearly delineated good and evil.

This battle was even more intense than the previous one at Mount Youfu. From the start, the Demon Dragon displayed a desperate stance, and Xuan Cang had no choice but to respond with his full strength, completely unlike the previous battle where he had to take Mount Youfu into consideration and only engaged in physical combat between dragon bodies.

They were now in the open sea, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy without any reservations, even triggering anomalies in the heavens and earth. The scale of the battle was so vast and terrifying that Bai Ling and the captured Mount Youfu disciples were all shocked.

"This is bad," Old Seashell said worriedly as he looked at the sky. "If this continues, the power they're releasing will throw the East Sea into chaos. By then, the heavens and earth may very well send down divine lightning as punishment." Dragons do not fear ordinary lightning, but divine lightning is different.

Bai Ling's face was deathly pale. She hadn't yet recovered from the earlier disturbance to her soul. As a young dragon, she was unable to participate in a battle of this scale and could only watch from below. Hearing Old Seashell's words, she asked, "Divine lightning?"

"Yes, this is the world's way of suppressing the 'power of gods'. It's said that in ancient times, the fall of the gods was due to this," Old Seashell said solemnly, his tone carrying reverence for the heavens and earth.

Bai Ling hadn't yet realized the most frustrating part. "If a Nine Heavens Divine Lightning really strikes, it can't possibly hit only Lu Linsheng! It will definitely strike both of them together!"

Old Seashell: "No, it's very likely to only strike Lu Linsheng."

Bai Ling: "Why?!"

Old Seashell: "Because he's a Demon Dragon and will draw attention first. His luck can't compare to Supreme God Xuan Cang's."

Bai Ling: "..."

To be fair, who knows where the so-called laws and consciousness of the heavens and earth come from, but of course they would strike something that starts with the word "demon" first. Bai Ling was furious but had no words to refute it.

Just then, a thunderclap caused Bai Ling's pupils to contract. A bolt of pitch-black lightning struck down from the gloomy clouds, heading straight for the Demon Dragon Lu Linsheng.

With just this one strike, a large patch of the Demon Dragon's body, normally impervious to ordinary weapons, was charred black. Supreme God Xuan Cang seized the opportunity to land a heavy blow, tearing off a large chunk of flesh, sending black scales scattering.

"You're in my way. Today, I'll make sure you die in body and soul," Supreme God Xuan Cang said with deep fury.

The Demon Dragon Lu Linsheng was in extreme pain, one side of his dragon body a bloody mess. Even so, he hadn't given up on battling Supreme God Xuan Cang. But just as his spiritual power surged, thunder rumbled faintly in the sky above, brewing and ready to strike, clearly aimed at him again.

Bai Ling saw all of this clearly. Suddenly gritting her teeth, she transformed into her dragon form and flew towards the Demon Dragon. Another bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, the electric light flashing and illuminating the gloomy sea and sky in a burst of brightness.

Bai Ling, this small white dragon, stubbornly blocked the way in front of the Demon Dragon Lu Linsheng. Her heart pounded wildly as she stared at the lightning descending towards her, the electric light making her eyes water, but she didn't flinch or dodge.

With a thunderous boom, the lightning struck, yet neither Bai Ling who directly faced it nor Lu Linsheng behind her were touched by it in the slightest. The lightning bizarrely veered and struck Supreme God Xuan Cang who was not far away.

The Mount Youfu crowd below, unable to escape, were forced to watch this battle. Seeing the heavenly lightning already striking Bai Ling's head, then suddenly turning and hitting Supreme God Xuan Cang's head, they were all utterly baffled. What was going on?

Supreme God Xuan Cang, who was on the battlefield, was also stunned. Just now, he had felt the heavenly lightning was a delight, but when it struck him, the pain was real, and he no longer felt so good about it.

Others might not know why the heavenly lightning didn't strike Bai Ling, but he could guess. It was simply because Bai Ling was the karmic core of this world. Originally, her luck was shared with him, so he could do as he pleased in this world and everything went smoothly for him.

But Bai Ling started to oppose him, and he encountered obstacles at every turn. Damn it!

Bai Ling was badly frightened by this terrifying lightning. She had previously seen the words "female lead of this world" in Xuan Cang's panel, which should be referring to her. Along with that dreamlike voice in her head, she had made a bold guess, and now it seemed she had guessed correctly.

"Lu Linsheng, put me on top of your head and the lightning won't strike you!" Bai Ling quickly shouted to Lu Linsheng.

Lu Linsheng: "Won't you get dizzy being up so high? Forget it."

Bai Ling shouted in despair: "...Why did you have to remind me? I was in such a hurry I had forgotten about that!"

Lu Linsheng: "My mistake."

Bai Ling felt dizzy as soon as the topic came up, but she wouldn't agree to leave the battlefield now even if asked. She transformed into her human form, sat on the Demon Dragon's head, and grabbed his dragon horn: "Don't say anything more. Even if I vomit to death today, I must go kill that bastard first! He tried to kill me before!"

The Demon Dragon's eyes were blood red. He obediently charged towards Xuan Cang again. The Supreme God Xuan Cang, angered by them, furiously confronted them. The violent collision split the dark cloud layer in two. Another bolt of lightning struck down.

Bai Ling, with quick eyes and hands, pulled back on Lu Linsheng's dragon horn, allowing him to avoid the lightning. The Supreme God Xuan Cang wasn't so lucky and was unfortunately struck on the head again.

Bai Ling herself was also dizzy, but she didn't forget to curse with a personal attack: "Stupid idiot, serves you right. It's so convenient to attract lightning with your huge dragon horns!" She hugged Lu Linsheng's horn while cursing. Lu Linsheng laughed as he heard it. The Supreme God Xuan Cang was about to be angered to death by them.

The Supreme God Xuan Cang and the Demon Dragon's abilities were not far apart. Even though they seemed to temporarily have the upper hand, Lu Linsheng's condition was unstable, and the situation was still critical.

Bai Ling acted as a protective shield for Lu Linsheng, blocking the lightning while sitting on his head. When there was a chance, she would take out the Zhenmeng Treasure Blade to stab Xuan Cang's eyes.

When there was no chance, she would launch personal attacks. If she wasn't feeling well, she absolutely wouldn't let the Supreme God Xuan Cang feel well either. She appeared steady on the surface, but she was actually very flustered in her heart.

Old Seashell, the timid old man, was unexpectedly reliable at this time. Seeing the stalemate lasting for a long time and Bai Ling barely holding on, he said urgently, "Little master, perhaps we can try reopening the sealing formation."

Knowing that Bai Ling was having a hard time, he explained without waiting for her to ask, "It's the formation that originally trapped the Demon Dragon. This formation was cast with the bones and blood of countless dragon clans in order to trap the Demon Dragon forever. But for some reason, the Dragon God Sword, which acted as the formation's eye, suddenly shattered, causing the Demon Dragon to escape. As long as we can reopen the formation and find something to replace the eye, we can trap Xuan Cang inside the formation."

"The eye? Without the Dragon God Sword..."

"No need. The Dragon God Sword was used back then because the Demon Dragon was the Dragon God, his bloodline surpassing the other dragon clans, so only the Dragon God Sword could be used as the eye. But it's not needed for Xuan Cang. Little master, your Dragon Slaying Treasure Blade... no, the Zhenmeng Treasure Blade can be tried!" Old Seashell said quickly, "The formation is in the sea within the sea below!"

The reason those large patches of dragon blood firs could grow so lush was because too many dragon clan members had died in this formation.

Old Seashell never thought that the formation originally used to trap the Demon Dragon would now be used to trap another dragon.

Bai Ling also decided to give it a try. She whispered a few words in Lu Linsheng's ear. Lu Linsheng couldn't hear the telepathic communication between Bai Ling and Old Seashell, but he heard Bai Ling telling him to fly down. Without hesitation, he turned and headed towards the center of the sea within the sea.

Xuan Cang naturally followed. Just as the two dragons were about to fall into the sea within the sea, Bai Ling, as instructed by Old Seashell, transformed into a white dragon, spat out a dragon pearl and a mouthful of heart's blood, and pushed the dragon pearl into the sea within the sea. In an instant, the originally clear sea within the sea turned into a dark hole, and countless dragon cries could be heard from within.
