The Azure Dragon's worry was not without reason.

After all, this was an illusory realm. Everything here was unknown.

If that ancient halberd was really able to harm Xia Xinghe, then that halberd strike probably meant that Xia Xinghe was dead!

But so what?

The Great General was the only loophole that Xia Xinghe could find. If he did not try it out, he could only wait for Chu Qingcheng's cultivation to go berserk or her body to explode, and die!

This was the result that Xia Xingchen didn't want to see the most.

After all, Chu Qingcheng was the Nangong Immortal after her rebirth. Other than returning to the Nine Heavens and the Ten Great Earth to seek revenge, Xia Xingchen only had one thought in his heart: In this life, I will protect Chu Qingcheng!

"I hope that my guess is correct." Xia Xinghe opened his arms, without any defenses in place, as if he wanted to embrace that halberd with his chest, which was emitting a strange energy. It was an extremely strange scene.

As for that magnificent general, it was as if he didn't see Xia Xing at all. His eyes were only fixed on the enemy soldier before him who was on the verge of dying under the ancient halberd!

Whoosh …

The sound of air scraping against each other seemed like a sonic boom as it pierced through space, cutting through the battlefield.

Accompanying the sonic boom, the halberd smashed straight towards Xia Xinghe, the crescent-shaped blade stabbed steadily into Xia Xingchen's chest.

At this moment, the Azure Dragon was trembling. The Azure Dragon was afraid that the ancient halberd would cause damage to Xia Xinghe. If that was the case, then the Azure Dragon would directly be buried with Xia Xinghe.

There was one more thing that the Azure Dragon hadn't said or had the time to say. Just as he was speaking, Xia Xinghe had already struck his ancient halberd.

Actually, when Xia Xinghe neared the Great General, the Azure Dragon finally saw the full appearance of the ancient halberd. It looked extremely similar to the ancient halberd that the Azure Dragon had seen in the palace 300 years ago. The Azure Dragon even suspected that this was the ancient halberd!

Therefore, the Azure Dragon was in such a panic. Suddenly, it thought that Xia Xinghe was unable to cause any harm to the Great General, but that didn't mean that the halberd art was unable to cause any harm to Xia Xinghe!

But it was too late.

The side blade of the ancient halberd had already pierced through Xia Xinghe's chest, piercing through. In the end, it appeared behind Xia Xinghe, slicing the soldiers behind him into two!

The halberd passed through Xia Xinghe's body, just like spiritual energy slicing through the body of the Great General; it did not cause any damage to Xia Xinghe!

"Phew …"

Xia Xing and the Azure Dragon in the Aura Sea of the Sky Heaven Manor simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

Although he felt like he had just survived a disaster, the process of experiencing Xia Xingchen and the Azure Dragon's experience was completely different.

The Azure Dragon was that type of pure, simple blessing. The lucky thing was that Xia Xingchen was fine, and the lucky thing was that it didn't need to be buried with him.

And Xia Xingchen had another strange experience … The moment the ancient halberd passed through Xia Xingchen's body, Xia Xinghe could clearly feel his soul trembling for a moment. In the end, the strange violent wind that was peculiar to the Qi Gathering Pills dispelled that strange trembling!

His body landed firmly on the ground. Only when Xia Xinghe's feet landed on the solid ground did Xia Xinghe finally regain consciousness from the strange experience the ancient halberd gave him.

"What's going on?" Xia Xinghe furrowed his brows and asked himself in a low voice.

No one answered Xia Xinghe's question; even Xia Xinghe himself didn't have the time to ponder about it. This was because, right at this moment, an earth-shattering change occurred in the ancient battlefield …

The bloody battlefield, the tragic soldiers, the unstoppable generals, the incomparably bizarre ancient halberds, they all disappeared. It was as if they had vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.

The dome was still the same blue sky. Beneath his feet was also the same piece of land. However, an extremely scorching air current gushed out of thin air, as if Xia Xing was being roasted in a pill furnace. It was incomparably hot.

In front of Xia Xingchen's eyes, a ball of strange, fiery red light suddenly appeared and merged together. It continuously wiggled, spiraled, and vaguely formed the shape of a dragon …

"The dragon aura I sensed outside the ancient building should be this one!" Xia Xinghe suppressed his curiosity towards the ancient halberd and the magnificent general as he shot a cold glance at the dragon-shaped flame.

After which, Xia Xinghe retreated backwards like a bolt of lightning. With a few flashes, he returned to Chu Qingcheng's side.

Turning his head to look at Chu Qingcheng, Xia Xinghe discovered that Chu Qingcheng, with her veins popping out, had already dispelled all of her negative emotions, returning to her normal state.

"Looks like I won the bet. The illusion was broken by me." Seeing that Chu Qingcheng was no longer affected by the illusions of the ancient battlefield, Xia Xinghe heaved a sigh of relief.

Regardless of what happened to the dragon's aura, at the very least, Xia Xinghe was able to rescue Chu Qingcheng from the illusions of the ancient battlefield.

"Master, this kid is quite interesting." The Azure Dragon's voice suddenly appeared in Xia Xing's mind. His tone was filled with a sense of playfulness.

As the Azure Dragon's voice faded, an even stronger and stronger dragon aura, mixed with a scorching heat, rushed towards Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng from all directions!

Chu Qingcheng, who was originally still drowsy, shivered involuntarily when she was enveloped by the scorching heat waves and the terrifying dragon's might. Her beautiful eyes also gradually regained their luster.

Almost at the same time, Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xinghe regained their senses, turned their heads simultaneously, and stared at the source of the scorching wave of heat and the terrifying might of a dragon …

On the ancient battlefield, about ten meters away from Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng, there was a fire dragon that was about four to five hundred meters long spiraling in the air. On the ancient battlefield, about ten meters away from Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng, there was a fire dragon that was about four to five hundred meters wide.

Xia Xing was still fine, he didn't show any surprise on his face. In fact, he was even more composed than when facing the mighty general that had disappeared without a trace.

Other than the green dragon, Xia Xinghe had also seen a dragon once when he was in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earth. However, it was an ice dragon, and although it was the first time he had seen the fire dragon in front of his eyes, it did not feel too oppressive. At the very least, compared to the Great General, the aura of this fire dragon was much weaker.

Xia Xinghe remained unmoved, but Chu Qingcheng was different. She was already so shocked by this seemingly illusory fire dragon that she had lost all image of herself. Her beautiful eyes widened as she opened her mouth, revealing her pure-white teeth … After all, the dragon was one of the totems of the Desolate Continent, and also the legendary strongest divine beast.

"This is …" Chu Qingcheng lost her composure, even her voice was trembling with fear. "According to the ancient texts of the Falling Cloud Sect, this kind of dragon is known as the 'Eight Desolations Flame Dragon'. It is known as the 'strongest fire dragon'!"
