Hundreds of miles away.
"Did you guys hear anything?"
One of the cultivators suddenly felt as if he had heard a dragon's roar, but the sound was very distant and faint, making him doubt himself.
He then looked at the others accompanying him.
"Noise?"
"What noise?"
"It's quiet here."
"I didn't notice anything either."
"..."
Everyone shook their heads and said.
"Roar..."
However, just then, another sound came, louder than before, and tinged with pain.
"Yes!"
"Yes, I heard it too."
"It sounds like a dragon's roar, coming from that direction!"
"It is indeed a dragon's roar, from over there... from the desert direction!"
"Let's go!"
If one person hears a sound, it might be an illusion.
But if everyone hears it, it's no longer an illusion; it's the sound of battle, the sound of celestial phenomena.
It signifies treasure!
Streaks of light flew towards Bai Zihe's direction.
This scene was happening all over the place.
"Hmm..."
Dugu Jian, who was advancing, also heard a faint dragon's roar and couldn't help but frown slightly. "It seems to be coming from Bai Zihe's direction?"
"Let's go!"
The thought of Bai Zihe made Dugu Jian unable to resist.
He might not get the treasure, but Bai Zihe definitely couldn't get more than him; that was his mindset.
"Whoosh..."
Streams of light, myriad colors, like shooting stars, like dazzling lightning, all flew towards Bai Zihe's direction.
At this very moment.
Bai Zihe had already destroyed the heart of the Sand Dune Dragon.
Blood poured out like waves throughout the Sand Dune Dragon's body, leaving no gap.
"Again."
At this time, the Haotian Tower urged Bai Zihe.
For no other reason.
This Sand Dune Dragon...
Although its name contained "dragon," it was a true descendant of dragons, possessing a trace, albeit thin, of dragon bloodline.
Therefore.
The small tower instructed Bai Zihe to collect all this blood.
Whether used for cultivation or alchemy, it was of superior quality, not only greatly improving the quality of elixirs but also adding special effects.
Bai Zihe was thus engrossed.
"Splash..."
"Splash..."
The heart of the Sand Dune Dragon had long been like a tattered bellows, spewing blood in all directions, while Bai Zihe, holding the Haotian Tower, continuously absorbed the blood.
Time slowly passed.
Although the Sand Dune Dragon was massive, it could not withstand such damage.
With blood loss and its internal organs shattered...
These injuries made it progressively weaker, but also more frantic.
"Roar..."
"Howl..."
Miserable cries echoed through the sky.
This land had already begun to tremble.
On the verge of death, the Sand Dune Dragon exerted its utmost strength, rolling on the ground, destroying and ravaging wantonly.
And Bai Zihe...
Had already profited immensely.
"Right..."
While the small tower helped collect the dragon blood, it said to Bai Zihe, "In the Sand Dune Dragon's dantian, there should be a dragon pill."
"This item contains a strong essence of earth element."
"It's like the Tianshan Golden Lotus you obtained from the Tianshan Sword Sect previously, with infinite uses."
Dragon Pill!
Upon hearing the name, Bai Zihe felt it was extraordinary.
Thus, seeing that the blood was dwindling, he broke through the internal organs along the way, searching for the Sand Dune Dragon's dantian.
Outside.
"Huh..."
"Is that a Sand Dune Dragon?"
"Hiss—Such a massive Sand Dune Dragon, with tens of thousands of years of lifespan, actually survived here."
"I wonder what kind of injury it sustained to be so violent and miserable."
"This..."
Upon seeing this prehistoric giant-like demonic beast, the cultivators were all stunned, gasping in unison, staring fixedly at it.
This thing...
If it attacked them, it would only take a single breath.
A single breath, containing pure earth element energy, would be enough to injure them to the point of incapacitation.
Of course.
This was only the Sand Dune Dragon's physical destructive power.
In reality, over its long cultivation years, it had comprehended numerous earth-element spells with infinite power.
These people knew far more about the Sand Dune Dragon than Bai Zihe did.
Unfortunately.
This creature, not having taken Bai Zihe seriously at the time, had directly swallowed him, leading to the current situation.
"This thing..."
"It must be close to death. Let's attack together!"
Someone shouted.
"Whoosh..."
The next moment, a sword qi was unleashed, slashing towards the Sand Dune Dragon's head.
"Clang..."
To everyone's shock.
The sword qi struck the creature, emitting a crisp, pleasant sound like metal clashing against stone, and sparks even flew.
And the Sand Dune Dragon's skin...
Sustained not the slightest damage.
"Roar..."
Although not injured, the Sand Dune Dragon was provoked by this.
It was already in a furious state and on the verge of death, and now it had an outlet for its rage. It raised its head and spat a mouthful of yellow gas towards the direction from which the sword qi had come.
"Swoosh..."
The yellow gas moved incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the cultivator who had launched the sneak attack.
"What?"
The cultivator had only just reacted.
"Whoosh!"
As a Tribulation Realm expert, he instantly gathered true essence to shield himself and cast a defensive spell.
"Defensive Wall!"
As he spoke, a thick wall of true essence appeared in front of the cultivator.
The next moment.
The attack spat by the Sand Dune Dragon arrived as expected.
"Boom..."
A dull sound echoed.
The cultivator's true essence wall exploded on impact.
The true essence dispersed, unable to withstand it for even a moment.
Then...
The yellow gas, with undiminished force, continued towards the cultivator's body. Before the cultivator could react, he was hit.
"Splash..."
Subsequently, his head was blown apart by the casual gas spat by the Sand Dune Dragon.
Along with it, his Purple Mansion Nascent Soul instantly dimmed, and he was instantly killed without any doubt.
"Hiss..."
"This..."
"Too terrifying!"
Everyone was instantly shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at the Sand Dune Dragon, momentarily forgetting to react.
And the Sand Dune Dragon...
Because it had been injured by these cultivators just now, it now harbored resentment towards all the cultivators present—it couldn't target Bai Zihe inside its body, so it could only target these visible enemies.
"Swoosh..."
"Whoosh..."
"Shh..."
Hundreds, even thousands, of yellow gas blasts shot towards these cultivators.
In reality.
This yellow substance was not gas; it was merely due to its high speed, creating afterimages that made it appear as gas.
"Not good!"
"Quick, dodge!"
"This guy has targeted us, flee quickly, flee far away!"
"Scatter quickly, don't stay in one direction!"
At this moment.
All the cultivators were filled with terror and fled in all directions.
But the next moment.
The Sand Dune Dragon soared into the sky!
