Chapter 136 Prison Dragon

Seeing Yuntian stare at her in astonishment, the giant black python couldn't help but sneer and continue: "Hmph, if you hadn't cultivated supreme defensive divine powers of the Three Realms like the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, how could someone with merely the Wanxiang level of strength be immune to my cold frost and even manage to injure me?"

"Little girl, you certainly know a lot! You've even heard of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art," Yuntian recovered his composure, raised an eyebrow, and smiled. "However, what I cultivate is not the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, but the Chaotic Golden Body. Well, have you ever heard of that?"

"Chaotic Golden Body? Never heard of it," the giant black python said skeptically, before speaking in a cold voice again: "But please leave this place immediately, otherwise..."

Huh? Seeing that she was trying to chase him away just like that, Yuntian, slightly taken aback, rubbed his nose and smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry to chase me away? It was so hard for me to find such a quiet place to retreat and cultivate in peace. I had no idea this place was already claimed! But since we've crossed paths, it's destiny. I've never had a spirit beast before. I look down on ordinary spirit beasts, but you seem rather extraordinary. How about you..."

"Human, you are daydreaming! To expect me, the dignified Yuqiu, to become a spirit beast for a human like you is an absolute joke!" Before Yuntian could finish, the giant black python interrupted him with an aura of surging fury.

"Yuqiu?" Yuntian's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Hey, is that your name, or are you a divine beast known as a Yuqiu?"

Hearing this, the giant black python couldn't help but sneer: "Ignorant brat, you don't even know the divine beast Yuqiu? Although my Yuqiu clan is small in number, we are among the most supreme divine beasts in the Three Realms. Every single Yuqiu can at least reach the Void Returning Earth Immortal stage, and there are those who become Earth Immortals, Celestial Immortals, or even True Immortals. The great ancestor of my Yuqiu lineage was once a True God Dao Ancestor, one of the supreme mighty figures in the Three Realms."

"Is that so? Then why haven't I heard of any divine beast Yuqiu among the current True God Dao Ancestors and other mighty figures?" Yuntian asked with feigned doubt.

"Hmph! If the great ancestor of our Yuqiu clan hadn't fallen during the Ancient God-Devil War, would a mere mortal like you dare to provoke me?" The giant black python's tone was icy and low.

Shortly after, the giant black python Yuqiu grew somewhat impatient: "Brat, are you leaving or not? Do you really want to force me into a battle with you?"

"A battle? If you could defeat me, wouldn't you have attacked long ago instead of wasting your breath with so much nonsense?" Yuntian laughed in amusement.

"Fine, brat, today I will let you see the true might of a Yuqiu," Yuqiu roared angrily, let out a deep growl, and directly plunged into the lake water. Moments later, she burst out from the water, appearing right beneath Yuntian, and surged toward him carrying a towering mass of lake water.

With her entire aura raging wildly, Yuqiu was covered in an oily black radiance. Even when Yuntian struck her directly with a palm, he failed to leave a single scratch. Instead, she whipped her head around and spat out a stream of golden flames. The scorching power enveloped Yuntian, causing him—whose body was faintly shimmering with golden light—to furrow his brow slightly: "Primordial fire that only Primordial Spirit Daoists can unleash? This Yuqiu is indeed quite troublesome!"

Clang... After blocking Yuqiu's tail and flying backward, Yuntian shouted: "Yuqiu, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"If you have any tricks left, bring them out! If you can truly defeat me and make me yield heart and soul, what would it matter if I become your spirit beast?" Yuqiu sneered, directly opening her mouth to spit out a flying sword as dark and glossy as black jade. The flying sword radiated a sharp and chilling power, shooting straight toward Yuntian, tearing open cracks in space wherever it passed.

Clang... Amidst a crisp chime of clashing metal, Yuntian flipped his hand to retrieve a dark cyan celestial sword, casually swatting the black flying sword away with a single stroke. Immediately afterward, he pointed his sword at the empty space before him. Centered on the tip of the celestial sword in Yuntian's grip, ripples spread across space, and a fierce shockwave rippled outward toward Yuqiu like a vibration wave. This caused Yuqiu to shudder violently and send her flying backward, coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood. Dissolving like thick black mist, she condensed into a tall, alluring, cold-beauty in black robes.

Looking pale, she pressed her white, slender hand against her chest, a trace of blood still lingering at the corner of her lips, while her beautiful eyes looked at Yuntian with a hint of shock.

"How is it?" Seeing her transformed into human form, Yuntian's eyes lit up as he twirled the dark cyan celestial sword in his hand and asked with a smile: "Now, are you convinced of your defeat heart and soul?"

Coming to her senses, Yuqiu's eyes flashed as she spoke in a cold voice: "Your strength is indeed formidable, and I have lost, but I am not convinced."

"Hmm? Yuqiu, going back on your word like this is quite meaningless!" Yuntian frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased. "Earlier, you were the one who said that as long as I defeated you and made you yield heart and soul, you would be willing to become my spirit beast. Now that you've lost, what else are you unsatisfied with?"

"Hmph! You were only able to defeat me because of the flying sword in your hand. Is that a celestial-grade flying sword treasure? Was it bestowed upon you by the elders of your sect? What skill is there in defeating me with a celestial sword?" Yuqiu sneered with utter disdain.

Yuntian froze for a moment, looked down at the dark cyan celestial sword in his hand, and chuckled helplessly: "Yuqiu, if I told you that I forged this celestial sword with my own hands, would you believe it?"

"Forged by your own hands? You might as well claim you're a Celestial Immortal!" Yuqiu sneered, clearly not believing a word.

"A Celestial Immortal? Given my current strength, I should actually be comparable to a Celestial Immortal. Besides, becoming a Celestial Immortal isn't all that difficult for me," Yuntian said casually with a faint smile.

The sneer on Yuqiu's face deepened: "Strength comparable to a Celestial Immortal? You really dare to boast about anything! Do you even know how powerful a Celestial Immortal is?"

"You make it sound as though you know them better than I do," Yuntian shook his head. Then, looking at Yuqiu, his tone turned somewhat cold: "Alright, I have no time to dawdle with you. Now you only have two choices: either become my spirit beast, or I will kill you."

"If you want me to be your spirit beast, keep dreaming! If you have the ability, just kill me," Yuqiu said coldly, refusing to bow her head whatsoever.

Hearing this, Yuntian couldn't help but frown in a headache. Her temper was truly stubborn; are all divine beasts this arrogant? For a moment, Yuntian really didn't know what to do. If he were to actually kill her, it would truly be a pity! Not only because Yuqiu turned out to be an absolute beauty in human form, but more importantly, a divine beast like Yuqiu was likely a rare sight across the entire Three Realms. Such a spirit beast wasn't something one could encounter just anywhere.

"Refusing to submit, are you?" Yuntian said with a faint smile, flying right up to the cold, black-robed beauty Yuqiu.

Yuqiu cast an indifferent glance at Yuntian, then simply closed her eyes: "Come on! Do it!"

"You really aren't afraid of death?" Raising an eyebrow, Yuntian looked at Yuqiu, who looked ready to meet her doom. His eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved upward, and with a flip of his hand, he put away the dark cyan celestial sword. Stepping forward, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Yuqiu's waist, pulling her into his embrace.

With her entire body stiffening, Yuqiu abruptly snapped her eyes open. Glaring at Yuntian, her pale, pretty face flushed red as she twisted her body in an attempt to struggle free.

It would have been fine if she hadn't moved, but this movement was almost fatal to Yuntian. Holding Yuqiu's willow-like, boneless waist, Yuntian's eyes widened at her violent reaction. He drew in a slight, cool breath, and then, driven by a sudden surge of impulse, he reached out and tore the black robe right off her body.

Yuqiu's struggling movements froze once again. Yuntian, too, was left dumbfounded as he gazed upon the perfect, jade-white, alluring curves revealed after the black robe was stripped away. He had never imagined that Yuqiu was going completely commando underneath—aside from the black robe, she was wearing absolutely nothing at all.

After a brief moment of daze, Yuntian's breathing grew somewhat rapid. The slightly scorching heat of his breath brushed against Yuqiu's blushing face, which was just inches away. This made her snap out of her stupor with a violent reaction. She tried to struggle, only to find her limbs weak and devoid of strength. A look of apprehension and tension surfaced on her face, and her voice trembled with a hint of fear: "You..."

"Since you're unwilling to be my spirit beast, then you might as well become my woman instead!" Yuntian gazed intently at Yuqiu, the corners of his lips curving upward as he spoke in a low voice.
