The Ghost Horse let out a barely audible neigh, seemingly bidding farewell to its knight.
When the curse of the God of Lies transferred onto the Ghost Horse, it became more ferocious, rapidly eroding its life force.
It wouldn’t be long before its Soul Fire would be completely extinguished.
Chen Mo felt a heavy weight in his heart, an indescribable anguish.
He had originally tamed the Ghost Horse just to complete an entry challenge, and after capturing it, he merely used it as a means of transportation and to evade deadly attacks.
Since most undead type spirit beasts are devoid of emotions, the Ghost Horse had always been perceived by Chen Mo as just a "tool horse."
But at this moment, he felt an intense emotion emanating from the Ghost Horse.
Chen Mo poured the remaining Life Water into the Ghost Horse’s mouth as if it cost nothing, and then took out all the life force replenishing treasures from his Space Ring.
Xiao Jiu also cast the Wish Technique again.
However, like before, neither the Life Water nor the Wish Technique could dispel the "curse" of the God of Lies; they only worked to delay death.
Just then, Chen Mo suddenly heard a resounding dragon’s roar, and in the distant eastern sky, a glow appeared.
Like the first light tearing through dawn, Chen Mo instinctively looked up.
At the same time, everyone in Shenghai City looked towards the east.
A giant dragon, covered in blue-green scales and spanning thousands of meters, appeared in the light. Its dragon eyes and dragon horns were pure gold, with complex golden Spiritual Patterns scattered amongst its blue scales, exuding a sense of majesty and mystery.
The appearance of this giant dragon seemed to illuminate the dark night, and also ignited hope in people’s hearts.
"Is this... the Azure Dragon!?"
"Holy crap! Didn’t I say our Huaxia has a totem-level spiritual beast!?"
"We’re saved! We’re saved! I never thought I’d see the divine beast Azure Dragon in my lifetime! I can brag about this for the rest of my life!"
Many people took out their phones, wanting to capture this awe-inspiring scene.
The legend of the Azure Dragon has been circulating in Dongxia, and it is said that Dongxia is the only country on Blue Star with the protection of a totem-level spiritual beast, though this legend had never been verified before.
But today, they witnessed the Azure Dragon’s manifestation with their own eyes.
"Reinforcements have finally arrived."
All the Spirit Masters in battle breathed a sigh of relief.
The Azure Dragon is naturally not a native spiritual beast of Blue Star; it too comes from the Spirit Realm.
More than two hundred years ago, the Chef God of that era in Dongxia lured it to Dongxia through cuisine, after which, for unknown reasons, the Azure Dragon became Dongxia’s guardian divine beast.
However, the Azure Dragon is not the spiritual beast of any particular Spirit Master, including that Chef God, as no Spirit Master has yet possessed the power to wield the Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon doesn’t need to draw on any Spirit Master’s power to become stronger.
Because Blue Star’s spiritual power is exceedingly thin, the Azure Dragon spends most of its time slumbering in the Hidden Dragon Temple on Qingcang Mountain, only waking occasionally to enjoy top-tier delicacies prepared by Dongxia’s finest Spirit Chefs.
Although the high officials of Dongxia do not understand why the Azure Dragon was willing to become Dongxia’s guardian god, it is evidently friendly towards the people of Dongxia.
When the rift of the chaotic mother nest opened in Shenghai City, the abbot of the Hidden Dragon Temple awakened the Azure Dragon, hoping to gain its assistance.
The Azure Dragon agreed readily, and thus it appeared in the night sky over Shenghai City at this moment.
With another long and majestic dragon’s roar, the sky suddenly began to rain a blue-green rain.
Using a Nature System Monarch Stage technique, Spring Winds and Rain.
The gentle blue-green raindrops fell on both spiritual beasts and humans, displaying powerful healing and purifying effects. Those humans or spiritual beasts, previously "polluted" by deceit beasts and rendered into compulsive liars, began to emit white smoke as the malevolent aura within them was instantly cleansed.
Meanwhile, the rain fell on creatures like the deceit beast, Fallen Angel, and Deceit Snake, evil spirit type spiritual beasts, like acid, rapidly corroding their "bodies."
The rain brought by the Azure Dragon contained potent restorative and purifying forces, but for evil spirit type spiritual beasts, it was a lethal poison.
In mythic tales, the Azure Dragon is one of the four celestial beasts, representing Taihao and the eastern seven constellations, symbolizing rebirth and hope, related to the wood attribute and spring season.
Next, accompanied by a deafening peal of spring thunder, a dazzling golden lightning bolt struck down, piercing straight through the body of the Shadow Demon.
The Shadow Demon, whose growth level had reached the Overlord Third Rank, had no chance to resist, being reduced to ashes by the spring thunder.
Luo Kun, a disciple of the Four Gods Sect, saw the Azure Dragon’s appearance, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
The second advent ceremony mysteriously failed; the God of Lies hadn’t descended as expected, catching him off guard. And now, a totem-rank spiritual beast appeared in this backwater place of Blue Star!?
What kind of joke is this!?
Successive bolts of golden lightning struck down, each thunderclap claiming the life of a Monarch Stage spiritual beast or higher.
"No! I won’t accept this!"
Luo Kun raged in helplessness.
In the next instant, he and his spirit beast were engulfed by the golden lightning, turning to dust.
After easily annihilating the Shadow Demon, the Azure Dragon’s gaze suddenly fell upon the abandoned warehouse where Chen Mo and his Ghost Horse were.
Upon seeing Chen Mo, a special emotion glimmered in its eyes, akin to the joy of reuniting with an old friend.
