Chapter 5869: Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques

"Boom!"

Three days later, a loud noise echoed in the hall, and the last golden dragon pillar collapsed with a thunderous crash. Dragon Chen, sitting on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. In his pupils, golden patterns shimmered like golden auspicious clouds, and he exuded a powerful divine force, resembling a majestic and sacred statue.

"The Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques."

At this moment, Dragon Chen had completely comprehended the dragon clan mystique recorded in these eight pillars. Simultaneously, he gained knowledge of their names.

"So, the Cloud Offering Claw bestowed upon me by the Dragon Emperor originated from the Cloud Dragon clan."

While comprehending one of the pillars, Dragon Chen discovered the Cloud Offering Claw technique. However, the Cloud Offering Claw of the Cloud Dragon clan attacked from bottom to top, with gentle force, forming a sealing barrier to trap the enemy within.

In contrast, the Cloud Offering Claw passed down by the Chaotic Dragon Emperor descended from top to bottom, possessing violent power with the goal of directly crushing the enemy. Not only did the breath differ significantly, but even the method of channeling energy was also distinct. Clearly, when the Chaotic Dragon Emperor passed on this technique to Dragon Chen, he made modifications.

Dragon Chen also understood why the Qiankun Cauldron hinted that these techniques might not be suitable for him. After comprehension, he realized that most of the Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques emphasized defense over offense, leaving room for maneuver. Although the techniques were powerful and mysterious, their lethality was limited.

Dragon Chen disliked techniques that held back, but he didn't immediately make changes. Instead, he sealed the comprehended mystique in his memory. If he encountered members of the Cloud Dragon clan in the future, he could pass on the original Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques to them.

After sealing the original Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques, Dragon Chen closed his eyes and began contemplating how to modify them according to his own dragon blood characteristics, combat habits, and energy manipulation skills.

The Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques were incredibly profound, the pinnacle mystique of the Cloud Dragon clan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been sealed within the dragon pillars and entrusted to Liuchang Tian for safekeeping before the downfall of the Cloud Dragon clan.

As time passed, Dragon Chen became completely immersed in the mysteries of the Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques. Simultaneously, he confirmed their compatibility with his own being, intending to transform them into his unique techniques.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. While Dragon Chen was comprehending the Cloud Dragon Eight Techniques, the situation in the Seven Treasures Space had become intense. The Undead clan's powerhouses, due to their solid foundations and fearless nature, relentlessly attacked the final layer of the Seven Treasures Space.

On the square, roars echoed as those just killed once again charged into the seventh layer of space.

Inside the seventh layer, a figure rampaged, and disciples of the Undead clan fell in droves. This figure was the shadow of the Underworld Emperor.

When the Seven-Colored Glass Tree copied it back then, no one knew how. Every time the shadow of the Underworld Emperor made a move, even formidable individuals like Liu Minghao were instantly killed, with no room for resistance.

"Don't stop! Sacrifice your lives to kill him!"

Liu Qingyu roared and once again entered the Seven Treasures Space. However, before he could see the surroundings clearly, he was killed again and forced to exit the space.

"It's impossible. Swarm tactics are ineffective against him, and we can't even block a single move."

"The problem is, the beings killed keep resurrecting and disrupting our battle, preventing us from forming an encirclement."

"This layer is beyond our resistance. Let's proceed step by step."

Over a thousand powerful Undead clan experts, after more than half a month of slaughter, had completely transformed into masters. After all, their inherent strength was there; they only lacked combat experience.

Now, each person, having experienced death countless times, possessed unyielding wills. They had successfully broken through six layers of space and reached the final layer.

However, within the last layer, besides the terrifying Underworld Emperor, there were also peerless powerhouses killed by Dragon Chen. Among them were ferocious demons, sword cultivators, and great monsters, each possessing formidable magical treasures.

Although these beings disappeared upon death, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, they would resurrect in place and re-enter the battle.

They wanted to use swarm tactics to overwhelm the Underworld Emperor, but they had to clear out the numerous demons within a very short time. Unfortunately, they found it impossible to achieve. However, thinking that Dragon Chen could face that terrifying figure with a 50% chance of success, they refused to accept failure and insisted on defeating that figure at least once.

Only by doing so could they hold their heads high in front of Dragon Chen in the future.

In the end, despite the collective efforts of the group for a day and a night, they still failed to defeat the shadow. Even individuals like Liu Minghao felt extremely disheartened.

"It's no use; I'm almost exhausted. I said we couldn't beat him, but you all didn't believe me. Now I'm so tired that I can't even move."

Not far away, Liu Rujiao lay on the ground like a dead dog, panting heavily, complaining a few words.

Although Liu Rujiao was complaining, she secretly hoped that everyone could defeat the shadow at least once, so Dragon Chen wouldn't look down on them.

At this point, everyone had collapsed on the ground. The leaves of the Seven-Colored Glass Tree swayed, radiating divine light, whether as a blessing or mockery, the mood of everyone was not good.

"Hoo, hoo."

At this moment, the figures of Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao emerged from the Seven-Colored Glass Space, having withdrawn from the space.

They did not participate in the group's siege. For a day and a night, they had been cultivating on the seventh layer. When they came out and saw the miserable situation of everyone, they couldn't help but be speechless. Everything was within their expectations.

"Is it convincing this time?" Liu Ruyan said somewhat speechlessly.

"Convinced," Liu Minghao smiled bitterly.

Back then, Liu Ruyan had said that the shadow could not be killed by swarm tactics. No one believed her, but now they all believed.

"Dragon Chen has come out of seclusion. Everyone gather; the Undead clan has a challenging task for you."

At this moment, the majestic voice of Liu Changtian echoed in everyone's ears, and they immediately crawled up from the ground.
