Chapter 496: Reunion of Friends
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the sky above, lightning descended upon An Lin like countless blue snakes.
An Lin spread open his Wings of Wind, and his body flashed through the lightning strikes at extreme speed.
Each bolt of lightning was extremely powerful and left a huge indentation upon striking into the ground. Fortunately, they were not yet at Golden Void Lightning level, otherwise, An Lin would be well and truly screwed.
One dragon remained in the air above to manipulate lightning, while the other dragon chased An Lin along the ground. Its white claws were streaking through the air in extremely sharp trajectories, creating a sound akin to evil spirits wailing in the air.
The two Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons work harmoniously together, and An Lin was forced to be on the back foot.
“Divine Technique—Wind Explosion Arrow!”
In the distance, a white arrow flew through the air before transforming into a thick pillar of white light imbued with extremely powerful wind pressure and striking the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon that was manipulating lightning in the air!
With a resounding boom, the explosive force of the wind pressure flattened the body of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon before blasting it several hundred meters away, where it then rolled down onto the ground below.
An Lin came to a sudden realization. If he couldn’t use sharp weapons to slice the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons open, then would it be possible to use a type of power that could cover the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon’s entire body in order to kill it in one fell swoop?
The Divine Flame Bead immediately appeared in his hands as he considered this possibility. A series of golden flaming dragons revolved around the bead, which was exuding sweltering flame power.
At this moment, the dragon that had been struck by the Wind Explosion Arrow had already crawled up from the ground. However, it was no longer looking at An Lin, but instead, it was looking toward a certain spot in the distance as a ferocious aura emanated from its body.
An Lin’s heart trembled slightly upon seeing this. He knew that they were onto Liu Chuchu.
Right at this moment, the two dragons An Lin was battling had already begun to fly toward Liu Chuchu!
“Ah!”
Tina’s screech sounded from a distance, and An Lin could see a Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon approaching Tina with invisible energy fluctuations emanating from its body.
“Plunder!”
Upon seeing this, An Lin immediately released the two Gundams before issuing a command, “Go help Tina!”
He then spread open his Wings of Wind to chase down the two dragons that were flying toward Liu Chuchu.
Liu Chuchu had reacted extremely quickly to the advances of the two dragons. She knew she would fall into dire straits if she were to allow the dragons to engage her in melee combat, so she fell into retreat as she shot forth a series of huge water dragons toward her assailants. The water dragons were only shot forth as part of a stalling tactic, not so much to kill the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons.
An Lin finally caught up to one of the dragons after a few seconds, and boundless golden-white flames erupted from his Divine Flame Bead to envelop the dragon’s body.
With the assistance of the high-rank immortal tool Divine Flame Bead, he was able to activate his Divine Flames to the fullest.
Boom!
The golden-white flames engulfed an area with a radius of over a thousand feet, which melted through and incinerated everything in its wake. From a distance, it looked like a small sun had suddenly appeared over the ground, emanating boundless light and heat.
“Roar…”
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon wailed in agony as it tried to retreat out of the area encompassed by the flames.
An Lin’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing this. He knew his attacks were effective, and he was not about to let this dragon escape!
However, right at this moment, Tina’s scream erupted in the distance again.
An Lin immediately turned toward her direction to assess her situation.
He was then greeted by the sight… of Tina looking at the two Gundams with a horrified expression, seemingly at a complete loss as to what to do next.
He blinked in confusion before turning his eyes upon the two Gundams, and he instantly drew a sharp intake of breath.
Gundam One and Gundam Two held light swords in their hands as they stood gallantly in front of Tina.
Before them was the shredded body of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon…
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon had been sliced into several dozen pieces!
An Lin grimaced at this sight. Should he be complimenting the swordsmanship of the two Gundams…
For f*ck’s sake… The Gundams clearly weren’t powerful enough to deal that much damage to the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon! It was clear that the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon allowed itself to be sliced into pieces on purpose!
An Lin slapped an exasperated palm to his face. He should’ve prohibited the two Gundams from using sharp weapons, but it was too late now…
As expected, the pieces of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon began to squirm on the ground. They first transformed into white balls before slowly taking on the form of miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons…
“Great Holy Flame, Demonic Star Flame, Setting Moon Flame, Heavenly Void Flame!” An Lin immediately unleashed his flames upon the miniature dragons below with the assistance of his Divine Flame Bead.
The four Divine Flames materialized themselves into four flaming dragons, all of which roared as they descended toward the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons while exuding terrifyingly high temperatures, making the air around them warp and shimmer in a radius of over ten thousand feet.
Just as the four flaming dragons were about to sweep through the miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons, the dragon that was pursuing Liu Chuchu suddenly doubled back to station itself in front of all its miniature counterparts. All the crimson eyes on its body then suddenly began to crack open, and immediately after that, a red barrier of light engulfed an area of several hundred feet around it.
Boom!
The explosion of the flames created shockwaves that fractured the ground and toppled over mountains.
However, the red barrier of light remained resolute within the boundless sea of flames as it unleashed an extremely powerful force that completely dispersed the flames.
Tina had already arrived by An Lin’s side with the two Gundams in preparation to stage a retreat at a moment’s notice.
The dragon that had cracked open all its crimson eyes was suddenly completely devoid of vitality. It then transformed into a white liquid that pooled down onto the ground.
An Lin came to another realization upon seeing this. “So, it’s unable to survive after its eyes are crack open. Does that mean the eyes comprise the body of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon?”
His heart then trembled slightly as another thought occurred to him. “It was willing to sacrifice a quarter of its eyes to protect the miniature dragons behind it…”
Just as An Lin was speculating to himself, the white balls had completed their transformations to become Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons, of which there appeared to be around fifty or sixty in total.
Devastating power that made An Lin’s heart palpitate began to radiate outward, and it seemed as if all those crimson eyes were going to swallow up everything in their line of sight.
An Lin felt like this type of mitosis completely disregarded the law of conservation of energy. Even if a creature had the ability to split itself into two, the two halves would at least be significantly weaker than the original whole. However, this dragon had split itself up several dozen times, but each miniature dragon still retained around seventy percent of the power of the original whole. Thus, the combined power of those several dozen dragons was simply monstrous…
Meanwhile, behind a massive boulder at the edge of the White Lake Realm.
Two living beings had concealed their auras and were staring intently at the battle taking place near the White Lake.
One of them was a semi-transparent jellyfish that was around half the size of a grown man. It was hovering in the air as white lightning flashed around its tentacles while it asked, “Hong Dou, is that the An Lin you speak of?”
A burly rock golem with a roaring flame burning in his chest nodded with an expression of astonishment on his face. “There’s no mistaking him! That’s definitely An Lin! Who would have thought he would be in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. And it had only been just over a year since the Dao Exchange Conference of the Four Powers. To be able to progress from Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage to Soul Formation Intermediate Stage during that time, he truly is a supremely talented prodigy!”
“Hehe… but this supremely talented prodigy is now in a pretty situation…” The jellyfish chuckled and said, “The Heavenly Court representatives are considered to be our allies, so what do you say? Do we give them a hand?”
Hong Dou blinked his flaming eyes. He suddenly began chuckling to himself as he recalled all those times An Lin had bullied him in the past. “Yes! We’re friends, after all. It won’t be good to just leave them to fend for themselves!
“Hehe… we’ll wait for them to be almost overwhelmed before we swoop in and become their saviors so that they can look up to us with reverence! My gallant figure will be deeply engraved in their minds!”
With that, an expectant smile appeared on Hong Dou’s face.
