Chapter 112: Total Domination

“What kind of trash secret technique is this?”
A clear voice exploded, dripping with contempt.

Everyone could hardly believe their ears, staring at that divine demon form in shock. For some reason, their first instinct was not to feel that Liu Ping was ridiculous or arrogant, but rather a foreboding sense of doom. They involuntarily gasped, bewildered—could this youth be hiding some trump card?

“Young Master Liu…?” Ao Jin Yu uttered in stunned disbelief, her worried gaze turning hopeful. If Young Master Liu spoke so, it had to be with purpose.

“Inferior, laughable, utterly nonsensical. Though it has some power, its flaws are countless, and the critical shortcomings are utterly irreparable. Are you all out of your minds to use such a ridiculous formation? It’s utterly disgraceful!” Ling’er made a grand entrance, her arrogance on full display as she glared at the secret technique they were employing, snorting coldly as she began to critique it.

If her earlier words had shocked the crowd, this scathing assessment ignited their anger. Even Kong Shu and the armored soldiers frowned with discomfort, let alone the four great Earth Immortals and numerous naval troops. ‘Liu Ping’ had gone too far. This Dragon Clan secret technique was refined only after long communication with the four Dragon Kings and the clan’s sole ancestral dragon, boasting tremendous power and great renown for the Dragon Clan. Yet now, it was being dismissed as worthless!

No matter how formidable Liu Ping was, he was only at the Human Immortal stage, with Earth Immortal combat strength at best. How could he brazenly bluster here without fear of biting off more than he could chew?

The four Earth Immortals were angered and about to reprimand him when Ling’er continued, “The Dragon Clan’s magnificent Ascending Dragon Formation has been so carelessly altered into this laughable mess by you. It’s utterly ridiculous.”

Hearing this, the four Earth Immortals widened their eyes in disbelief. This secret technique was never taught to non-Earth Immortal Water Deity clan members. It was a secret of secrets, evolved from the Ascending Dragon Formation! How did this man know of it?

Ao Ming snorted coldly, “No matter how you obtained this information, I’ll show you the true power of this Dragon Clan secret technique!”

The four exchanged glances.

“Wolong, take your place.”
“Lunwei, take your place.”
“Dawang, take your place.”
“Huluan, take your place.”
“Dragon Law, suppress!”

With a roar, a five-clawed golden dragon materialized in the sky, distinct and majestic, exuding a faint divine aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.

“Let’s see how arrogant you can be!” the four Earth Immortals thought grimly, glancing at the divine demon body as if envisioning its imminent brutal demise.

“Three.” At this critical moment, Ling’er remained calm, raising a finger and speaking mildly.

The crowd was stunned. Three? What three?

“What madness is he spouting?” Ao Li said bewilderedly. This man’s personality seemed to have shifted… Earlier, though arrogant, he was more recklessly domineering. Now he radiated a proud disdain, completely different. And though he had fought bravely, he had been nearly overwhelmed by the four—what gave him the confidence to be so brazen?

Ao Ming stroked his beard, doubting, “Has he gone mad?”

Ao Yu said coldly, “Perhaps he really has.” He had been inclined to spare Ao Jin Yu out of some fondness, but hearing this man suddenly claim she was his woman made Ao Jin Yu feel hostile toward him.

Ao Li felt a bad premonition and instinctively said, “It probably isn’t that simple…”

“What other surprises could there be?” Ao Ming was skeptical.

“Three flaws.” Ling’er continued, then summoned her Daoist weapon wings and swiftly tore at the translucent shield. The four’s eyes widened in disbelief—how could she know the secret technique’s only weakness?

With a sizzling sound, Ling’er easily ripped open the barrier and said calmly, “First, there is a vulnerability.”

“Not good! He’s escaping!” Ao Ming shouted.

The four prepared to jointly block her, but Ling’er sneered, “Who said I’m escaping?”

She looked up at the diving golden dragon and met it head-on.

Witnessing this, everyone was shocked again. How did he know the weak spot? Such a profound secret technique—how could he know it so thoroughly? More importantly, having found and torn open a gap, why not flee? Instead, he confronted head-on? Was he courting death?

“What is he trying to do…” the four Earth Immortals could hardly believe their eyes, feeling utterly baffled.

“Young Master Liu?” Ao Jin Yu exclaimed, stunned by the divine demon’s madness.

But when the next scene unfolded, everyone felt how absurd reality was.

Ling’er casually waved, severing the four’s control over the golden dragon. Then she muttered an incantation, and the golden dragon instantly betrayed them, no longer attacking but circling obediently around the divine demon like a well-trained pet.

“Second, the control and connection to the Ascending Dragon is too weak. Anyone who knows the incantation can easily sever it, with no resistance.”

These understated words struck everyone like thunder. They stood dumbfounded, unable to react!

A secret technique that once shook all directions had its flaw discovered, which was tolerable and fixable. But now, the summoned golden dragon was directly captured and turned against them—this was utterly terrifying!

“What… is going on!” The four Earth Immortals and the many below could hardly believe their eyes.

Ao Ming’s eyes widened, “Who exactly is he? How does he know the incantation? No, even if he knows it, there’s no way he could sever our connection to the Ascending Dragon so easily!”

“Third, your protection is insufficient.” Ling’er said, raising her head to coldly glare at the four above.

They felt as if plunged into an ice cave, shivering uncontrollably. Unable to maintain the secret technique, they all withdrew together. Yet the golden dragon did not vanish. They gasped—it meant the other’s control over the golden dragon had completely surpassed theirs.

But… how was this possible?

Never heard of such a thing! It was simply unfathomable!

The scenes unfolding before them far exceeded their understanding.

At this moment, Liu Ping, witnessing these miracles firsthand, shouted inwardly, “Damn, this is way too advanced! I can’t even handle this!”

Ling’er sneered coldly, “Go. Let me show you the true power of your own golden dragon.”

“Roar!!” The golden dragon roared fiercely, thrashing wildly as it locked onto the four Earth Immortals, charging madly forward.

The four Earth Immortals gasped, exerting all their strength to resist, but suddenly the divine demon vanished…

A chill ran down their spines. The divine demon appeared beside them, baring his teeth in a mocking grin. His Daoist weapon wings unfurled, countless weapons transforming into a torrent that surged toward them.

The previously easy-to-evade and counter Daoist wings became incredibly troublesome. They felt like they were sinking into quicksand—the more they struggled, the deeper they sank.

Even without the golden dragon, Ling’er could easily defeat these four. Now with the golden dragon assisting, despite their full arsenal of spells, they quickly fell.

Ten minutes later…

Seeing many crouched on the ground, hands over their heads, spirits crushed, shirtless, and then the mountain of spoils beside them, Liu Ping twitched, “This really is a game…”

His pride was deeply wounded, but he comforted himself: “In knowledge, deduction, and skill, they utterly outmatch me—there’s no comparison…”

At this moment, Ao Jin Yu, her face full of excitement, ran over to Liu Ping with admiration and joy, “Young Master Liu, I found the teleportation token!”
