81: Chapter 81 Bloodbath Against the Young Dragon! A Miracle Occurs from the Fusion of Spirit Stones

Lin Feng stood a hundred meters away from the Crystal Mountain, staring at the Young Flood Dragon coiled at the foot of the mountain.

It was asleep again.

Its breathing was steady, with occasional bursts of Spiritual Qi puffing from its nose, turning into a faint mist.

"Elder Dan, do you think it has a weakness?"

Lin Feng asked in a low voice.

Elder Dan was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking.

"Yes."

"Every living creature has a weakness. Although this Young Flood Dragon is powerful, it has a fatal flaw."

"What flaw?"

"It cannot leave the Spiritual Vein too far," Elder Dan said. "The Spiritual Vein is its source of power and its life's Foundation. Once it leaves, its strength will be greatly diminished."

"But the problem is, it won't leave."

Lin Feng frowned.

"Then what should I do?"

"Find a way to lure it out," Elder Dan said. "Make it leave the range of the Spiritual Vein on its own, then fight it."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

"How do I lure it?"

"Use Spirit Stones," Elder Dan said. "Its desire for Spiritual Qi far exceeds everything else. If you can tempt it with high-grade Spirit Stones, it might risk chasing after them."

Lin Feng pulled a golden Spirit Stone out of the wanxiang ring.

That Spirit Stone was the size of a fist, emitting a soft glow, and its Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost overflowed.

[Immortal Grade Spirit Stone (Golden)]

[Effect: Can be used for Cultivation, array formation, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining; contains a massive amount of pure Spiritual Qi]

"Use this?"

"Give it a try."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and forcefully threw the golden Spirit Stone into the distance!

The Spirit Stone traced a parabola and landed on the open ground fifty meters away.

*Ding—*

The crisp sound echoed in the underground space.

The Young Flood Dragon's ears twitched.

It opened its eyes and looked at that golden Spirit Stone.

A hint of longing flashed in its golden vertical pupils.

But it didn't move.

It just stared at the Spirit Stone, a low whimper coming from its throat.

"Not enough?" Lin Feng frowned.

He took out another golden Spirit Stone and threw it even further away.

Two golden Spirit Stones, twenty meters apart, emitted an enticing glow.

The Young Flood Dragon stood up.

Its twenty-meter-long body slowly moved away from the foot of the Crystal Mountain.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

It crawled towards the first Spirit Stone.

It was getting further and further away from the Crystal Mountain.

Ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Thirty meters.

When it was more than fifty meters away from the Crystal Mountain, Lin Feng moved.

He spread his Wind Wings and charged towards the Crystal Mountain at full speed!

"Now is the time!"

Sensing something was wrong, the Young Flood Dragon suddenly turned its head!

It saw Lin Feng rushing towards the Crystal Mountain, and an angry light flashed in its eyes!

It wanted to go back, but looking at the two golden Spirit Stones in front of it, it was reluctant to leave them.

It hesitated for a second.

In that one second, Lin Feng had already rushed to the foot of the Crystal Mountain!

He pressed both hands against the Crystal Mountain and activated his Talent!

"Fuse for me—!"

*Vroom—*

A pale golden light enveloped the entire Crystal Mountain!

[Detectable fusible object: Spirit Stone Mineral Vein]

[Mineral Vein Fusion]

[Warning: Fusing the mineral vein will trigger violent energy fluctuations and may wake all guardians]

[Suggested consumption: 1,000,000 mana]

[Fusion direction: Extract Essence]

One million mana!

Lin Feng only had one million and forty thousand in total right now!

But he didn't hesitate!

"Inject it all!"

BOOM!!!

The golden light exploded!

The entire Crystal Mountain began to tremble violently!

Those Spirit Stones embedded in the Crystal Mountain flew out one by one, melting, fusing, and purifying in the golden light!

Purple Spirit Stones melted, turning into purple liquid!

Golden Spirit Stones melted, turning into golden liquid!

Blue, green, white—all of them melted!

Liquids of countless colors gathered and intermingled in the golden light!

Forming a massive colorful vortex!

The Young Flood Dragon finally reacted!

It abandoned the two golden Spirit Stones and charged back frantically!

But it was too late!

The colorful vortex spun rapidly, constantly shrinking!

From dozens of meters in diameter, it shrank to over ten meters, then to a few meters!

Finally, it condensed into a fist-sized... crystal?

That crystal was transparent throughout, with seven-colored light flowing inside.

Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, as if it contained the entire Universe.

[Obtained: Spiritual Vein Core (Pseudo-Colored)]

[Quality: Colored (Pseudo)]

[Effect: Contains the essence of the entire Spiritual Vein; can be used to upgrade equipment, strengthen Physique, and set up grand arrays]

[Description: A supreme treasure formed by fusing an entire Spirit Stone Mineral Vein, possessing incredible power]

Lin Feng didn't even have time to take a closer look.

The Young Flood Dragon had already rushed in front of him!

Its golden vertical pupils were now filled with rage and madness!

"ROAR—!!!"

A deafening roar!

It opened its bloody maw and bit towards Lin Feng!

Lin Feng had no time to dodge and could only tank it head-on!

"Holy Light Protection!"

"Earth Protection!"

"Water Protection!"

Three layers of shields were instantly applied!

*Crack!*

The first layer, shattered!

*Crack!*

The second layer, shattered!

*Crack!*

The third layer, shattered!

In three seconds, all three shields were shattered!

The Young Flood Dragon's teeth were less than ten centimeters away from Lin Feng's head!

"Void Walk!"

Lin Feng teleported in an emergency!

His body escaped into the Void Realm and appeared twenty meters away! Then he frantically drank potions!

The Young Flood Dragon's attack missed, making it even more frantic!

With a sweep of its tail, the massive force crushed the surrounding rocks into powder!

Fragments of rock splattered everywhere like bullets!

Lin Feng couldn't dodge in time and was hit by several fragments!

[Received physical damage: 3,500 × 3 = 10,500]

[health points: 1,033,500 / 1,044,000]

"Damn, it's too fierce!"

Lin Feng grit his teeth.

He thought of a countermeasure while dodging.

This Young Flood Dragon was fast, had high attack, and thick defense.

A head-on confrontation wouldn't have a high chance of success.

"Elder Dan, where exactly is its weakness?!"

He asked loudly.

Elder Dan was silent for a second, then slowly spoke.

"Its chin."

"Chin?"

"Yes," Elder Dan said. "Every time it exhales Spiritual Qi, the scale on its chin will open slightly; that is the hub of its Spiritual Qi circulation. If you can hit it there, you can interrupt its skills or even severely wound it."

Lin Feng stared intently at the Young Flood Dragon's chin.

That scale was indeed slightly different from the others.

The color was a bit lighter, and there were fine gaps at the edges.

"Good!"

He changed his strategy.

Instead of running away, he took the initiative to meet it!

Seeing him rush over, disdain flashed in the Young Flood Dragon's eyes.

It opened its mouth and took a deep breath!

Skill: Spiritual Qi Breath!

A thick pillar of Spiritual Qi light erupted from its mouth!

Lin Feng was already prepared!

Just as the pillar of light was about to hit him—

"Void Walk!"

His body escaped into the Void Realm!

The light pillar passed through his original position and slammed into the rock wall behind him!

The Young Flood Dragon was stunned.

Before it could react, Lin Feng had already appeared in front of it!

Less than five meters away!

"Now is the time!"

Lin Feng's hands came together, and eight-colored light gathered frantically!

"Judgment of Light + Firestorm + Thors Hammer + Absolute Zero Realm + Wind Wings + Earth Protection—Six-Skill Fusion!"

This time, he injected one hundred thousand mana!

Eight-colored light intertwined, collided, and fused in his palm!

Finally condensing into a ten-meter-long eight-colored greatsword!

The greatsword's blade burned with fire, was entwined with thunder, flowed with Holy Light, and was covered in frost!

"Slash for me—!"

Lin Feng swung both hands down!

The eight-colored greatsword whistled as it slashed towards the Young Flood Dragon's chin!

Sensing danger, the Young Flood Dragon tried to dodge!

But the distance was too close!

It couldn't dodge at all!

The greatsword slashed heavily onto that scale!

*Crack!!!*

The scale shattered!

The greatsword pierced into the flesh!

"ROAR—!!!"

The Young Flood Dragon let out a shrill scream!

Dark golden blood gushed out like a fountain!

Lin Feng didn't have time to calculate precisely, but he knew that this strike had taken off at least a million of its health!

The Young Flood Dragon struggled frantically!

Its tail swept across, sending Lin Feng flying!

Lin Feng flipped a dozen times in the air and slammed heavily into the rock wall!

[Received damage: 150,000]

[health points: 1,018,500 / 1,044,000]

"Cough..."

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but a smile was on his face.

It hit!

The Young Flood Dragon's chin was dripping with blood.

That scale was broken, revealing the flesh inside.

But it wasn't dead yet!

On the contrary, it became even more insane!

It opened its mouth, but this time it wasn't a breath; it was... devouring!

Skill: Devouring the Heavens and Earth!

A terrifying suction force erupted from its mouth!

Surrounding rubble, sand, and even air were sucked into its mouth!

Lin Feng felt like he was being grabbed by an invisible giant hand, flying towards it uncontrollably!

"Not good!"

He flapped his Wind Wings desperately, trying to break free!

But the suction was too strong!

He slid towards the Young Flood Dragon's mouth bit by bit!

Ten meters!

Eight meters!

Five meters!

Three meters!

He was about to be swallowed!

At the critical moment—

"Zhi!!!"

A sharp cry!

Xiao Jin jumped from his shoulder and spat out a cloud of pale golden mist!

That mist instantly spread, forming a massive golden light dome that enveloped Lin Feng!

[Void Holy Beetle Skill: Guardian Shield]

[Effect: Generates a shield that absorbs 500,000 points of damage, lasting for 10 seconds]

[Description: The ultimate defensive skill of the Void Holy Beetle, can only be used once a day]

The suction force was blocked by the light dome!

Lin Feng took the opportunity to break free and teleported fifty meters away!

"Xiao Jin!"

He looked at his shoulder.

Xiao Jin lay there, its body trembling slightly, its eyes much dimmer.

Using skills consecutively had exhausted it too much.

"Good job!"

Lin Feng rubbed its head.

Xiao Jin let out a "zhi" sound, curled into a ball, and fell asleep.

"Next, leave it to me."

Lin Feng looked at that Young Flood Dragon.

It was still struggling frantically, the wound on its chin constantly bleeding.

Its health had already dropped to around four million.

"Four million health... I can do this!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and raised both hands again.

This time, he didn't hold back.

"Incarnation of Light!"

*Vroom—*

His entire body erupted with dazzling golden light!

His body became transparent, like a ball of pure light!

[Incarnation of Light: Immune to all physical attacks, movement speed +500%, all light-element skills are instant-cast, lasts for 30 seconds]

Lin Feng turned into a golden stream of light, darting frantically through the air!

The Young Flood Dragon's attacks couldn't hit him at all!

He cast skills while flying!

Judgment of Light!

Instant-cast!

Light Flame Slash!

Instant-cast!

Holy Light Judgment!

Instant-cast!

One light-element skill after another smashed onto the Young Flood Dragon as if they were free!

Especially the wound on its chin, which received special attention!

-85,000! -89,000! -92,000! -88,000!

The damage numbers flickered frantically!

The Young Flood Dragon's health dropped from three million to two million!

It struggled frantically, sweeping its tail, slamming its body, and using Spiritual Qi Breath!

But Lin Feng was now in his Incarnation of Light, immune to all physical attacks!

When its tail swept past, Lin Feng's body dispersed like light and then re-condensed!

He flew right through its Spiritual Qi Breath!

It couldn't hit him at all!

"ROAR—!!!"

The Young Flood Dragon let out a roar of despair!

It suddenly stopped.

No longer struggling, no longer attacking.

Instead, it opened its mouth and took a deep breath.

That breath was deeper than any before!

The surrounding air instantly became thin!

An ominous premonition welled up in Lin Feng's heart.

"Not good! It's going to self-destruct!"

Elder Dan's voice exploded in his mind!

"Quickly stop it!"

Lin Feng's expression changed drastically!

He turned into a golden stream of light and rushed towards the Young Flood Dragon frantically!

But the Young Flood Dragon's body had already begun to swell!

That massive body bulged like it was being inflated!

Dazzling golden light seeped through the gaps between its scales!

[Spiritual Vein Guardian · Young Flood Dragon has entered a self-destruct state]

[Countdown: 5 seconds]

[Self-destruct power: Can destroy everything within a kilometer radius]

Five seconds!

Lin Feng's scalp tingled!

He only had two choices now—

Run!

Or... go all out!

"I'm going all out!"

Lin Feng grit his teeth and pulled out the newly fused Spiritual Vein Core from the wanxiang ring!

[Spiritual Vein Core (Pseudo-Colored)]

[Effect: Contains the essence of the entire Spiritual Vein]

He didn't hesitate and forcefully smashed the Spiritual Vein Core into the Young Flood Dragon's wound!

The Spiritual Vein Core turned into a stream of light and flew precisely into the bloody hole in its chin!

Then—

Time seemed to stand still for a second.

The Young Flood Dragon was stunned.

It looked down at its chin.

That Spiritual Vein Core was glowing inside its body.

Then, the Spiritual Qi within its body began to gather frantically towards the Spiritual Vein Core!

Like rivers entering the sea!

All streams returning to the source!

Its self-destruction was interrupted!

All the energy that was originally going to explode was absorbed by the Spiritual Vein Core!

The Young Flood Dragon's body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It wanted to struggle, it wanted to resist!

But it was useless!

The Spiritual Vein Core was the essence of the entire Spiritual Vein and had absolute control over Spiritual Qi!

The Spiritual Qi in its body was not under its control at all!

It was all sucked away!

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

When the last wisp of Spiritual Qi was sucked dry.

The Young Flood Dragon's massive body crashed to the ground!

Its golden vertical pupils lost their light.

[Killed Spiritual Vein Guardian · Young Flood Dragon, Experience Points +1,000,000]

[Rank Up! Rank 31!]

[Rank Up! Rank 32!]

Two consecutive golden lights!

[mana: 1,050,000 / 1,050,000]

He won.

Lin Feng stood on the spot, gasping for breath.

The Incarnation of Light had ended, and he had returned to his physical form.

He was covered in sweat from head to toe.

"Huff... huff..."

He looked at the Young Flood Dragon's corpse and grinned.

"Elder Dan, I won."

Elder Dan was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of complexity.

"Kid, I'm completely convinced today."

"Fusing the Spirit Stone Mineral Vein, luring out the Young Flood Dragon, hitting its weakness, and finally using the Spiritual Vein Core for a counter-kill..."

"In my two thousand years of life, I've never seen anyone else pull off this series of maneuvers."

Lin Feng laughed.

"Of course, I am a Genius."

"Alright, stop showing off," Elder Dan said. "Go pick up the spoils of war. Every part of a Young Flood Dragon is a treasure; don't waste them."

Lin Feng stopped smiling and walked towards the Young Flood Dragon's corpse.
