Chapter 135 135: The Invincible Dragon
The sound of battle coming from the distance kept getting more and more intense. There was not a single moment where the entire mountain wasn't trembling because of the impact.
Even the thick layer of ice on the mountain started melting and breaking apart, causing multiple avalanches. Fortunately, there were no villages or cities near the Dragon Mountain to be caught in the avalanches.
There was only Duan Mu, standing at the foot of the Mountain, watching a massive layer of show sliding down, becoming bigger with each passing second.
"Someone as strong as you is hiding in the Lower Realm? May I ask why that is the case?" Xu Shan regained his balance, landing in the distance.
His clothes were a little tattered, but for the most part, he remained unharmed. On the other hand, the Show Dragon was in a much worse condition.
He didn't know where this man came from, but he felt quite threatened by the two daggers of Xu Shan. With each wound, he felt as if his speed was getting slow, like the daggers had some poison in them.
"You're very relaxed for a person who's about to die here!" The Dragon roared.
"I would never be relaxed if there was even the slightest chance of my death here. Unfortunately, you're not quite there yet." Xu Shan rushed ahead like lightning. "You're just a big target practice for me!"
"Is that so?!" The Dragon coldly asked. However, instead of flying towards Xu Shan, he flew back high in the sky.
"Escaping will not save you!" Xu Shan smashed his foot on the ground, jumping high up, blasting the snow on the ground in every direction.
However, as he reached near the Snow Dragon in the sky, he was stunned to see that the Dragon became smaller!
Not only did he become smaller, but his physique also changed, becoming something much closer to a humanoid figure.
Within a few seconds, he changed into a human-like being, with two draconian wings protruding from his back.
The Snow Dragon has skin as fair as snow, however, contrarily his eyes were pitch black.
The huge Target had suddenly become as small as it could be, which made Xu Shan miss his attack.
On the other hand, the Snow Dragon's long silver hair fluttered with the wind as his figure disappeared.
Now that he had turned into a human form, his speed became many times faster.
In an instant, he appeared behind Xu Shan. His body came swinging, landing a kick on the back of Xu Shan's neck.
The terrifying impact of the kick sent Xu Shan flying into the blizzard. However, the Snow Dragon didn't give Xu Shan an opportunity to relax.
His figure once again disappeared as he appeared in the middle of the Snow Blizzard, right before Xu Shan.
His sharp claws grabbed Xu Shan by his throat, immediately smashing the young man on the ground.
The loud Explosive Noise was so powerful, that it was heard far and wide.
Duan Mu had managed to protect himself from the avalanche when he heard the loud Explosion. The core of the mountain itself had started to crack apart, from the impact of the attack.
In another part of the mountain, Aria had finally reached the Celestial Pond. Her entire body was deathly pale, and she kept shivering, as if she was going to freeze to death at any moment. However, she finally had what she wanted in her sight.
In the middle of the Celestial Pond, she could see a beautiful Celestial Lotus. The Celestial Lotus was said to be the most beautiful flower known to mankind. Just being in its presence gave a serene feeling to people nearby.
"This time, I will change the future! I won't let the same tragedy occur again!" Aria's fists tightened. She raised her head, glancing at the sky with her beautiful blue eyes. "This time, I will save you!"
Taking a deep breath, Aria stepped forward onto the frozen surface of the Celestial Pond. One misstep could result in her falling through the thin ice, but the thought of the Celestial Lotus spurred her on. It was the key to her unlocking her true Destiny!
The air was cold, and her breath was visible in front of her. Aria closed her eyes, focusing her mind on the task. Slowly, she raised her hands, and a gentle blue light shone from her palms. She began to chant, and the light intensified, spreading across the pond.
As she changed some unknown words, a thin layer of Protective barrier appeared around her skin.
The Celestial Lotus was an item that was rare for even the Upper Realm. It wasn't easy for someone to pick up this powerful flower. Even in the Upper Realm, not many people knew how to pluck this flower, since it had been centuries since something like this was last seen.
However, she came from the future and knew the entire Process.
After covering her body with a protective layer, she stepped forward, placing her fingers around the Celestial Lotus.
The overwhelming pure energy of the Celestial Lotus came crashing. However, the thin layer of barrier around the girl protected her.
The Celestial Lotus was something that defied any common sense in this world. It couldn't be kept in any spatial storage item, and if it wasn't used within ten days after it matured, it died on its own.
Moreover, there was only a two day window of plucking the Celestial Lotus after it matured.
"It's still not mature..." Aria frowned, just as she was about to pick up the Celestial Lotus. "It's so close... Hurry up!"
She retracted her hand, waiting nervously, praying for it to mature soon before the fight reached this area.

In another part of the freezing mountain, a middle aged man with two draconian wings behind his back stood proudly, looking down at the young man in the center of a deep crater before him.
Xu Shan's breathing was quite heavy, and there was blood in the corner of his lips.
It should've been impossible for even a powerful monster to survive an attack like this, but despite all that, he appeared to be still alive.
Xu Shan remained on the ground, gathering his breath. He didn't expect the Dragon to become so fast after changing his form.
"That hurt..." Xu Shan sat up, even after all that, rubbing the back of his neck. "You're much better than I thought. Now I want you even more as my mount!
Seeing the young man sit up, the silver haired man was even more stunned. He frowned as he stepped closer. "Looks like you won't stay dead unless I crush that skull of yours!"
