Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1975: Self-Detonation of a Ninth-Tier Heavenly Tribulation Powerhouse
Under Fang Bai’s persuasion, the Flood Dragon Venerable, harboring longing for ascending to the Immortal Realm, finally agreed to join the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace and become a member of the palace.
"Frost Tower has suffered the loss of many high-level members this time, significantly weakening its overall strength, and it will surely become the target of various covetous parties. Just in time, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace needs a large number of cultivation resources. We should go and destroy Frost Tower, and take their cultivation resources!"
Fang Bai thought that after the strong practitioners of Frost Tower returned to Ice Dragon City, other sects in Ice Dragon City might seize the opportunity to hit them when they’re down, wipe them out, and then divide their cultivation resources.
Rather than letting other sects take advantage, it would be better for Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable to immediately return to Ice Dragon City and claim the cultivation resources of Frost Tower for themselves.
Frost Tower is, after all, a top-level strong sect of the time, and their foundation must be rich. If these cultivation resources are obtained, they can be brought back to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace for the disciples in the palace to use for cultivation in the future.
Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable teamed up and descended on Ice Dragon City, bringing with them the might of severely damaging Frost Tower, which was sure to intimidate the various forces within Ice Dragon City.
The Flood Dragon Venerable had waited on the Lake Heart Island of Jade Lake for a hundred years, making little progress in his cultivation, which inevitably left him with some regret. However, he finally saw the legendary Flood Dragon and thus fulfilled his wish, which was somewhat comforting.
"Let’s go!"
The Flood Dragon Venerable said nothing more and flew away from Jade Lake with Fang Bai, Liu Qingqing, and Xiao Ying, back to Ice Dragon City.
Fang Bai promised to teach the Flood Dragon Venerable Immortal Rank cultivation techniques to help him ascend to the Immortal Realm, which had a strong attraction for the Flood Dragon Venerable. Even if Fang Bai were to drive him away now, he would not leave.
When Fang Bai and the other three returned to Ice Dragon City, the city was already in chaos.
Just as Fang Bai expected, the other three major strong sects in Ice Dragon City, upon learning that Frost Tower had been defeated at Jade Lake, believed it was an excellent opportunity to destroy Frost Tower and divide its many years of foundation. They gathered their respective forces and attacked the area controlled by Frost Tower in the northwest of the city.
As the saying goes, "A camel, though skinny, is bigger than a horse."
Despite being seriously injured at Jade Lake, losing much of their overall strength, the Frost Tower, with a millennium-old foundation, did not easily yield. Tens of thousands of disciples in the sect, led by Sect Master Yu Chao, fought against strong enemies with the mindset of facing death.
According to Yu Chao, even if the Frost Tower couldn’t escape the calamity of destruction in the end, they wouldn’t let the three major sects have an easy time, and they were ready for a life-and-death struggle.
In this battle, although the disciples of Frost Tower suffered severe casualties, the three major sects also paid a heavy price. For hundreds of miles in the northwest of the city, killing intent was rampant, spiritual energy surged, and the scene was one of corpses piled up and oceans of blood, extremely tragic.
When Fang Bai, the Flood Dragon Venerable, Liu Qingqing, and Xiao Ying arrived at Frost Tower, they witnessed such a scene.
For the strong practitioners from the Three Thousand Worlds, they were already accustomed to life-and-death and bloodshed, so what they saw didn’t surprise even the youngest, Xiao Ying.
"It’s you!"
Yu Chao, being encircled by the Sect Masters of the three major strong sects, had already reached the end of his strength. When he saw Fang Bai and his group of four descending, he suddenly let out a harsh shout, which contained boundless hatred.
Previously, Fang Bai had a fierce battle with the strong practitioners of Frost Tower over Liu Qingqing, which attracted a lot of attention from strong practitioners in Ice Dragon City, so many recognized Fang Bai.
The upper echelons of the three major sects knew that the strong practitioners of Frost Tower had been severely injured at Jade Lake due to Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable joining forces. Now upon seeing them appear in Ice Dragon City, they speculated that they might also be after Frost Tower’s cultivation resources, making their feelings instantly complex.
Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable both possessed the power of the ninth layer of the Heavenly Tribulation, and although the three major sects had many disciples, having just fought fiercely with Frost Tower, they suffered considerable losses. If they were to engage in a conflict with Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable after this battle ended, it would be no good for the three major sects.
As for Liu Qingqing and Xiao Ying, their strength was too weak to affect the situation, so they were directly ignored by the upper echelons of the three major sects.
"How about we join forces to destroy Frost Tower and then evenly split their cultivation resources?"
The Flying Cloud Pavilion Master, having joined forces with the other sect masters to repel Yu Chao, loudly suggested to Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable.
Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable had yet to respond when Yu Chao roared angrily, "You covetous lot eyeing our sect’s cultivation resources, don’t think any of you will escape unscathed!"
As he spoke, his clothes rapidly inflated, and the energy within a radius of a thousand feet surged wildly, creating a chaotic and frantic atmosphere. Everyone within this space felt a deadly crisis.
"Not good, he’s going to self-detonate!"
The Pavilion Master of Flying Cloud Pavilion shouted, his face showing horror, as he tried to retreat with all his might.
The other two Sect Masters also paled and retreated with all their strength.
The Flood Dragon Venerable and Fang Bai were doing the same, trying to get as far away from Yu Chao as possible.
A strong practitioner at the ninth layer of the Heavenly Tribulation possesses extraordinary strength, and the destructive power at the moment of their self-detonation is several times that of their attack power. No strong practitioner within a thousand feet of the same rank can withstand it, let alone those below the ninth layer.
Yu Chao harbored deep hatred toward Fang Bai, the Flood Dragon Venerable, and the Sect Masters of the three major sects. Seeing Fang Bai and the Flood Dragon Venerable appear, he had already prepared to self-detonate, thinking that even if he couldn’t die together with them, he would severely injure them, thus dying without regret.
"Boom!"
Within two or three breaths, Yu Chao’s body, having prepared fully, suddenly exploded.
A violent shockwave expanded outward at lightning speed, instantly sweeping across a thousand feet, and enveloped Fang Bai, the Flood Dragon Venerable, the three Sect Masters, and numerous strong practitioners from the three major sects in the shockwave generated by Yu Chao’s self-detonation.
The violent energy, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, destroyed everything within a thousand miles. All strong practitioners who failed to withdraw beyond a thousand feet in time were hit by the violent energy, with some falling on the spot.
The Sect Masters of the three major sects, as well as many high-level members, also suffered varying degrees of injuries, reducing their combat power by more than half.
The Flood Dragon Venerable had thought that he and Fang Bai would not escape this disaster, but when the violent energy reached them, he found himself pulled into a dark space by Fang Bai. Then he heard a loud "bang," felt his body quiver slightly, but remained unharmed.
Before he could respond, he found the space brightening as he emerged from that dark space.
In confusion, he immediately looked at Fang Bai, only to see Fang Bai calmly putting away a small cauldron.
The Flood Dragon Venerable, with sharp eyes, immediately saw that the small cauldron was no ordinary spiritual artifact and pointed to it, saying, "Palace Master, did we just take shelter inside this small cauldron?"
