From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister-Chapter 336 - 331: The Descent of the Giant Dragon_1
Due to the Barrier Formation’s intense strength, both activation and retraction of the Large Formation require a certain amount of time to complete.
Just as when everyone retreated earlier, if they didn’t time their entry into the Large Formation precisely, it was likely that when they entered, the Large Formation would still not have activated, possibly even resulting in the Nine-headed Serpent breaking through the defensive line.
Now, deploying the Large Formation also took some time, which just happened to be enough for the Nightfall Organization to activate the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array.
It would be ideal if the Large Formation were completely deployed at the same moment the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array was fully activated, so the Nine-headed Serpent wouldn’t have much of a chance to attack.
"How is there still someone outside?"
As the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array was being activated, a group of Nightfall Members finally noticed Fang Ren Ah Ran outside the Large Formation.
Only a part of his upper body remained, his flesh and bones clearly visible, and though his body floated in mid-air, no one could sense any sign of life from him.
Moreover, his Cultivation Technique had faded, leaving only a Sickle still held in his hand.
"This Sickle... Could it be him!?" A Nightfall Member who had participated in the battle at Linglong Bay immediately recognized the weapon.
"Is it the Alchemist who joined our organization this year? Is he... dead?"
People’s brief exchanges reached Jiang Ling’s ears.
Jiang Ling, who had been focused on activating the Large Formation, froze the moment she caught sight of the scene outside the formation.
Even though the figure was ravaged, she still recognized the boy.
Fang Ren Ah Ran... dead just like that?
She had been looking for him just this morning. Wasn’t he supposed to be partaking in the Fire Seed Project’s experiment? Why would he die here?
A sense of guilt began to well up inside Jiang Ling.
She couldn’t help but wonder, inwardly, if she had gone to help Fang Ren Ah Ran earlier in the morning, could this scene have been avoided?
Sensing Jiang Ling’s discomposure, Bai Chaojin spoke up, "He died trying to save someone. Even though I used him in my experiment, I never intended to take his life from the start."
Jiang Ling gave Bai Chaojin a cold glance. She knew Fang Ren Ah Ran’s death wasn’t really related to Bai Chaojin, but she still detested the man deeply.
Turning her head, Jiang Ling saw Mu Hui Qing on the other side, tears streaming down her face, crying uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling had a rough understanding of what had led to Fang Ren Ah Ran’s death.
The young man, it must have been for love after all.
When he first embarked on the path of Cultivation, it was for Mu Hui Qing. To join the Nightfall Organization, it was also because of Mu Hui Qing. Slaughtering Linglong Bay, participating in the Alchemy contest, dueling Xia Fu Lan...
Everything was to be with Mu Hui Qing.
Suddenly, an image of a man floated through Jiang Ling’s mind.
That man, too, had grown stronger step by step for her, but in the end, everything was ruined by Bai Chaojin.
Love... was it really nine times out of ten a tragedy?
She sighed inwardly.
"The Isolation Formation is about to be fully deployed! All troops, be ready to cover!" Just then, Xia Mo suddenly shouted.
The entire battleground went on high alert once again. They had originally planned to use the Large Formation to weaken the Giant Snake’s power, but a traitor had emerged among humans, and now they had no choice but to face the enemy’s true form head-on.
...
At this moment, Fang Ren Ah Ran, floating in mid-air, hung his head lifelessly, his body not responding in the slightest, indeed devoid of any signs of life.
But he wasn’t truly dead yet, for his heart had not been destroyed.
Yet, that heart was no longer beating. After all, having swallowed over a dozen Slaughter Heaven Pills and with half his body blown apart, his heart could no longer pump blood through his body.
He had heard all of Mu Hui Qing’s cries behind him, yet some strange force from the light column of the Giant Snake prevented him from moving his body or responding to Mu Hui Qing.
He now faced certain death. Even if the Nine-headed Serpent spared him, the raging effects of the Slaughter Heaven Pills would reduce him to nothing.
"It seems the effects are about to erupt..."
As time passed, Fang Ren Ah Ran felt changes within his body, a powerful energy orb swelling up inside him.
The energy spilled out of his Dantian and meridians. Because of this, the half that had been destroyed bled even more fiercely, and soon, all the blood in his veins would be forcibly squeezed out.
Boom... Boom...
That was the sound of the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array nearing completion.
The Large Formation was close to activating, but the Giant Snake beneath the sea had now become a mess.
Its nine heads were devouring each other, and now, only one head remained.
It coiled itself up, emitting a purple glow all over its body.
"It’s about to successfully evolve!" Bai Chaojin, looking at the glow emitted by the Giant Snake, became frantic.
"Why isn’t the Large Formation fully down yet! We have no chance to interrupt it!"
"Everyone, take position in front of the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array! No matter how powerful the enemy becomes, we must buy enough time for the array!"
...
Watching the purple glow from the Giant Snake below grow brighter and brighter, with the Large Formation also descending more rapidly, Fang Ren Ah Ran tried with all his might to get his body to move. However, his body was as if sealed by a spell, unresponsive to his will.
Even though he feared not the agony of his body shattering, this form of binding left him no means to resist.
The drugs were about to explode, his body on the verge of bursting.
He had no more chances...
Boom!
The Large Formation had not yet completed its descent when a purple column of light burst forth from the sea surface.
The Nine-headed Serpent’s body rode the light upwards, soaring tens of thousands of meters into the sky. The purple light began to converge toward its entire body.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the purple light dissipated and the entire sky bloomed like a flower.
Once the light had faded, a colossal body stretching from the sea surface to the clouds appeared in everyone’s sight.
It was entirely purple, its scales completely renewed. Along its body, four claws began to grow on both sides, two horns sprouted on top of its massive head, its originally round maw extended, and its whiskers grew along with it...
This snake had completely transformed into the dragon of human historical legend.
With the success of its transformation, it once again raised its head to the sky and let out a long howl.
The sound of the dragon’s roar leapt over the mountains and seas, the oppressive force in the surrounding sky suddenly intensified, weather changed drastically, and all sounds turned into dead silence after the dragon’s roar.
The soldiers within the Large Formation were unable to think for a moment, the scene before their eyes was a suppression of life itself to any individual.
"It really… turned into a dragon..."
"Do we… still have a chance?"
A sense of defeat began to spread among the people, and for a moment, the morale of the human soldiers plummeted to rock bottom.
"Don’t space out!" Xia Mo shouted, "No matter what creature it is! As long as it invades our homeland! We must fight to the death!"
No sooner had Xia Mo’s voice died down than one of the dragon’s claws struck the still-undissolved Barrier Formation.
Boom!
Crack crack crack...
Following a loud bang, the edge of the Large Formation shattered beneath the dragon’s claw.
"The formation... is broken!"
"It’s over... all over..."
"Roar!"
The dragon did not give humans any time to catch their breath, emitting a roar as a ray of purple light again condensed in its mouth.
This light was even more powerful than when it was in its Nine-headed Serpent complete form. If this attack were to penetrate through the cracks of the formation and hit the interior, the human campaign would likely have to declare defeat.
"Hurry up! Faster!"
As everyone teetered on the brink of disaster, Jiang Ling frantically transferred True Qi into the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array, hoping that the array could activate just half a second faster.
Buzz—
Mu Huiqing inside the Large Formation once again lifted the Hundred Martial Divine Weapon, and suddenly she burst through the formation’s cracks.
Following her, hundreds of weapons from the Divine Weapon flew out, circling her body as she exerted every effort to activate the Creation of Heaven Technique. At this moment, she had no intention of surviving.
If this battle were to end in failure, she was bound to die. No matter what, her child would be motherless, and even the child might not escape calamity due to the defeat in this battle.
In that case, she might as well give it her all.
If she could buy time for the Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array, if the array could kill the dragon, then her child would be safe.
Seeing Mu Huiqing rush out, everyone immediately followed because humans were now utterly without recourse.
Ao!
The breath from the dragon’s mouth descended from the sky, leaving everyone like a small black dot facing its outpour.
They would die without regrets!
At this moment, there was only one thought left in the hearts of all the soldiers.
They knew that charging forward like this meant certain death.
But what else could be done?

Giggle giggle—
Just as everyone was about to sacrifice their lives for more time, that half-body floating in mid-air began making bone-shattering noises.
The half-corpse that had escaped everyone’s attention began to tremble in its only remaining arm.
Following that, the kilometer-long Blood Red Scythe began to slide over the sea surface.
The Slaughter Heaven Pill had filled every corner of his bones with violent energy; he might explode in a few seconds.
But fortunately, the moment the Nine-headed Serpent transformed into a dragon’s body, the suppression on Fang Ren’s body was lifted.
This way, at least he could unleash everything recklessly before his body fell apart!
Fight once more!
Bang!
The massive Blood Sickle rose into the air.
Once again, a sea of blood stretched across the sky.
The sea of blood began to erode the brilliant purple light everywhere. Countless corpses surged out from the sea of blood.
They struck the dragon’s head like malevolent ghosts, the huge dragon’s head tilted, and its breath swept across the sky.
A sudden burst of purple light filled the heavens.
Then, countless bones began to climb onto the dragon’s head. They gnawed and hacked with their bones, bloodthirsty and relentless, never ceasing until death.
The people who had been prepared to fight to their deaths were taken aback by the blood surging across the sky, their pores exploding involuntarily.
This hellish scene was something they had seen only once before when Fang Ren saved Mu Huiqing.
But that was just a fleeting moment.
"Ah Ran..."
The familiar sky made Mu Huiqing involuntarily turn back to look at the sea behind her.
But at that moment on the sea, where was that half-corpse? Only a lingering red light remained.
Boom—
The sky exploded once again.
A tens of thousands of meters long Blood Sickle, comparable in size to the dragon’s body, struck the dragon’s back.
In an instant, countless dragon scales were scattered.
The dragon roared, writhing its body.
That half-corpse, gripping the Blood Sickle, slammed the dragon into the sky.
