Chapter 1542: Reverse Scale Dissipation

Translator: Legge 

Although Long Cang killed the two God race Mighty Figures, it did not affect the current situation at all.

Even though he had transformed into his true form as a five-clawed divine dragon, he was not qualified to interfere in the battle between the Ancestor realm!

The two Barbarian Patriarchs and two Ancestor Gods released their divine powers one after another. However, the Dragon Phoenix True Body still had a calm expression without any fear.

It was indeed difficult for one to die after advancing to the Mahayana realm and comprehending Blood Rebirth.

However, difficult to die did not mean impossible to die!

Otherwise, the human race would not have lost so many Patriarchs over the years.

Even for Mahayana Patriarchs, damage to their Essence Spirits were absolutely fatal.

Once the Essence Spirit was destroyed and one’s soul was dispersed, even if their bodies were intact, it would mean death and dissipation of their consciousness.

There was another way.

If a Mahayana Patriarch had every single fiber of life in his flesh destroyed without even a single drop of blood remaining, even if his Essence Spirit was intact, he would not be able to reconstruct his body.

The combat strength of Mahayana Patriarchs who lost their bodies was reduced and it was much easier to kill them later on.

The Dragon Phoenix True Body had a cold expression.

The Blood Rebirth of Mahayana Patriarchs could not scare him!

He possessed a secret skill that could kill Essence Spirits directly!

The Reverse Scale!

The glabella of the Dragon Phoenix True Body shone when he saw the two Barbarian Patriarchs and two Ancestor Gods charge forward. His massive spirit consciousness compressed continuously and a shuddering spirit consciousness fluctuation spread!

A palm-sized scarlet scale slowly floated out from the glabella of the Dragon True Body. It was in the shape of a crescent and looked ordinary.

However, the appearance of the dragon scale caused the entire world to tremble!

It was as though space had frozen!

The Reverse Scale had descended!

The Dragon Phoenix True Body believed that even if the four Patriarchs of the primordial races were not killed by the Reverse Scale, their Essence Spirits would be severely injured. At that time, he would be able to gain an absolute advantage and crush them!

The expressions of the two Barbarian Patriarchs changed!

However, there was no fear on the faces of the two Barbarian Patriarchs. Instead, there was a look of incredulity!

“Impossible!”

The two Barbarian Patriarchs were alarmed.

The young master of the Barbarian race looked at everything with widened eyes in disbelief as well.

After the Reverse Scale appeared, beyond the Dragon Phoenix True Body’s expectations, although the four Patriarchs of the primordial races paused, they did not condense their Essence Spirit secret skills to defend.

The two Ancestor Gods frowned slightly with bewildered expressions.

“Mmm?”

The Dragon Phoenix True Body’s heart skipped a beat as he narrowed his eyes.

Right in front of him, the Reverse Scale that had just been formed dissipated rapidly and vanished in the blink of an eye!

“Haha!”

The middle-aged Ancestor God heaved a sigh of relief and burst into laughter. “Long Mo, you’re truly foolish. You’re only asking to be humiliated by releasing an Essence Spirit secret skill in the territory of the Barbarian race!”

Every single one of the Primordial Nine Races specialized in different strengths and domains.

Every single primordial race had a different weakness.

For example, the Witch race had the weakest physique and bloodline among the Primordial Nine Races and were not much different from ordinary humans.

However, the Witch race was the strongest in terms of Essence Spirit cultivation and comprehension!

For the Barbarian race, it was the opposite.

The Barbarian race had an extremely strong physique and their cultivation of their bodies alone surpassed the Dragon and God race.

However, the Barbarian race had the weakest Essence Spirit cultivation among the Primordial Nine Races.

In the primordial and ancient wars, almost no expert of the same cultivation realm could hurt or severely injure the Barbarian race.

However, many Barbarians died in the two battles.

Most of their bodies were left intact—they died to Essence Spirit secret skills!

That was the reason why the ancient Barbarian Emperor used a divine power in the territory of the Barbarian race such that no Essence Spirit secret skills could be conjured.

In the territory of the Barbarian race, Dharmic arts, divine powers or one’s body and bloodline could be used. The only thing they could not release was Essence Spirit secret skills!

Actually, the two Barbarian Patriarchs were already shocked when the Dragon Phoenix True Body could condense the Reverse Scale.

With the divine power of the ancient Barbarian Emperor in the territory of the Barbarian race, Essence Spirit secret skills could not even be condensed, let alone released!

Earlier on, the Reverse Scale was truly formed.

However, it could not defend against the divine power left behind by the ancient Barbarian Emperor and dissipated rapidly.

The Dragon Phoenix True Body realized this before long.

This change was somewhat beyond his control!

“Kill!”

The middle-aged Ancestor God hollered and the Heavenly God phantom swayed. His body shone brightly as he swung his gigantic sword and charged forward once more!

The old lady swayed as well and made use of the divine power of Heavenly God Descent. Instantly, she raised her dragon head walking stick and smashed it down with an overwhelming might!

Two Barbarian Patriarchs charged forward as well.

The Dragon Phoenix True Body could sense that the Barbarian race was still wary and restrained themselves, not releasing their Dharmic treasures.

Even so, the power released by the four Patriarchs when they used their divine powers was still extremely terrifying and could kill him!

Without hesitation, the Dragon True Body channeled his Essence Spirit and a spirit turtle appeared on the surface of the sea in his consciousness, roaring into the skies.

“Condense!”

The Dragon True Body hollered.

A divine light burst forth from his glabella and condensed in midair!

Buzz!

A divine power that shook the world descended!

In front of the Dragon True Body, a gigantic stone shield appeared with a wave of his hands. It was rough and ancient with curved patterns etched on it in a mysterious manner.

The stone shield resembled an ancient turtle shell.

The ravines on the turtle shell were already shining brightly with a mysterious luster!

It was an innate divine power of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, the Spirit Turtle Shield!

This was also the strongest defensive technique of the Dragon Phoenix True Body!

Almost the moment the Spirit Turtle Shield was formed, the attacks of the four Patriarchs descended!

Clang! Clang!

The gigantic sword and dragon head walking stick struck the Spirit Turtle Shield almost at the same time!

Bang! Bang!

The fists of the two Barbarian Patriarchs struck the Spirit Turtle Shield as well and let out a loud bang!

The scene seemed to have frozen!

After a momentary pause, a bedazzling glow burst forth from the Spirit Turtle Shield and a rampant aura surged!

Snap!

The Spirit Turtle Shield shattered!

Both the gigantic sword and the dragon head walking stick were repelled.

The two Barbarian Patriarchs retreated half a step as well!

The Dragon Phoenix True Body was in an even worse state as he descended rapidly. With a boom, he smashed heavily into the ground, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere as dust billowed!

“Cough!”

The Dragon Phoenix True Body coughed out a mouthful of blood and felt immense pain all over his body; his bones and tendons felt like they were about to split.

After the four Patriarchs released their divine powers, their strength increased exponentially.

That sort of power from divine powers was way too strong!

Although the Spirit Turtle Shield blocked most of the divine power, much of it still surged into his body and dealt a huge blow to his body!

“Young master!”

Long Cang and the others exclaimed when they saw that.

“Don’t come!”

The voice of the Dragon Phoenix True Body sounded with an unquestionable tone.

Long Cang and the others stopped hurriedly.

The dragons knew that they would only burden the Dragon Phoenix True Body if they advanced rashly and would only drag him down.

Long Cang took out a messaging talisman from his storage bag and tore it apart instantly.

Turning into a streak of light, the talisman sped out of the Barbarian Palace.

Bang!

Before the streak of light flew out of the Barbarian Palace, it was grabbed by a gigantic palm and crushed instantly!

The figure of the young master of the Barbarian race appeared.
