152: Chapter 152 The True Dragon Appears!
At the critical moment of life and death, Yuwen Hao roared toward the sky.
His long hair flew wildly, and the source essence blood of his Emperor Realm Three Stars cultivation burned frantically within his meridians.
The thousand-zhang-tall Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation rose from the ground.
Translucent silver-white starlight instantly illuminated the entire horizon of the East Sea.
Wherever the starlight passed, the purple miasma spewed by the void-eroding thousand-knot vine was forcibly pushed away, rolling back in all directions.
The manifestation raised its hand and made a grasping motion, as the power of the myriad stars converged frantically into its palm.
A giant sword condensed from pure starlight appeared in the manifestation's hand.
Dense black cracks appeared in the space surrounding the sword's blade.
Controlling the manifestation, Yuwen Hao gripped the hilt with both hands and swung a massive horizontal Void Slash.
The silver shockwave swept out, shredding all the approaching deep purple vines.
The severed vine fragments lost their vitality and fell from mid-air one after another.
Yuwen Hao's figure flickered, and he stood at the center of the thousand-zhang manifestation's forehead.
He looked down at Lin Yuan from his high vantage point, regaining the arrogance belonging to a Divine Son of an Imperial Clan.
“Mere unorthodox poisonous creatures, yet you dare dream of trapping the Grand Void Body.”
Yuwen Hao spread his arms, and the Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation emitted a massive pressure that suppressed all things.
“Today, I shall let you witness the true foundation of an Imperial Clan!”
Lin Yuan stood amidst the ruins of the arena, looking up at the thousand-zhang starlight manifestation in the sky.
He made no move to evade.
His feet were firmly nailed to the ground.
“Too much nonsense.”
Lin Yuan spat out those four words, his hands hanging naturally at his sides.
Within the sea of qi in his dantian, the sea of vegetation grotto-heaven operated frantically.
The source power of the Black Armor Dragon Vine was completely activated.
A dragon's roar that shattered the clouds echoed from within Lin Yuan's body.
The sound waves transformed into a physical blast of air, blowing away all the rubble within a hundred meters of the arena.
A thousand-zhang Azure Dragon Profound Armor Manifestation burst through the void behind him.
The giant dragon coiled in the void, its entire body covered in black-green Profound Armor dragon scales.
The scales overlapped layer upon layer, rubbing against each other to produce a clanging metallic sound.
The dragon's head was majestic and ferocious, with its two horns wrapped in cyan-gold light.
Terrifying dragon pressure poured out, standing on equal footing with the starlight of the Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation, neither yielding to the other.
Lin Yuan's knees bent slightly as he performed a backflip.
He traced an arc through the air and landed steadily atop the head of the Azure Dragon Profound Armor Manifestation.
One man and one dragon stood in a standoff against the thousand-zhang starlight manifestation.
In the preparation area, Dragon Fights Heaven suddenly crushed the refined gold wine cup in his hand.
Wine dripped through the gaps between his fingers.
This battle-maniac, who possessed true dragon emperor blood, was currently staring fixedly at the black-green giant dragon in the sky.
The True Dragon bloodline within his body, which he was so proud of, was actually trembling uncontrollably.
That was the instinctive suppression felt when a lower-tier bloodline encountered an absolute superior.
“This is impossible!”
Dragon Fights Heaven gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging.
“He’s an outsider, how could he condense a True Dragon manifestation purer than mine!”
Not far away, War Without Injury gripped his giant axe, his originally soaring battle intent suffering a noticeable stall.
The comments in the global live stream, after a brief pause, welcomed an unprecedented explosion.
“The Yuwen Imperial Clan has kicked a steel plate; this Azure Dragon looks even more fierce than the Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation!”
In the Western Alliance's rest area, Kate's legs went weak and she slumped onto the sofa upon seeing Lin Yuan's display of power.
Cold sweat seeped from Rex's palm as he gripped his war hammer.
Above the arena, Yuwen Hao's facial muscles contorted as he slammed his hands together.
“Stop your tricks! Die for me!”
He forcibly controlled the Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation, gripping the starlight giant sword with both hands and hacking straight down.
Sure-kill technique: Void Slash.
A thousand-zhang-long void crack spread along the trajectory of the blade.
The interior of the crack was pitch black, emitting a terrifying suction force that sought to banish everything.
This strike intended to banish the Azure Dragon Profound Armor Manifestation along with Lin Yuan into an alternate dimension.
Lin Yuan stood on the dragon's head without even lifting a finger.
The Azure Dragon Profound Armor Manifestation let out a roar and advanced instead of retreating.
The thousand-zhang dragon body slammed head-on into the void crack that was sharp enough to slice through mountains.
An ear-piercing sound of metal grinding echoed through the sky.
Massive bursts of sparks exploded in the void.
The starlight giant sword struck the black-green dragon scales, vibrating violently.
The void crack shattered inch by inch the moment it touched the dragon scales.
That supposedly indestructible Void Slash failed to leave even a single white mark on the dragon scales.
Absolute defense, tanking an Emperor Realm sure-kill move head-on.
Yuwen Hao stumbled back two steps, nearly falling from the manifestation's forehead.
“What kind of monstrous physical body is this!”
Before he could steady himself, the Azure Dragon Profound Armor Manifestation had already opened its abyssal maw.
Cyan-gold light converged frantically within the dragon's mouth.
Dragon breath spewed forth.
A sea of cyan fire covering a thousand zhang instantly submerged half the sky.
The temperature of the dragon breath was extremely high, instantly sucking the air dry along its path.
The remaining alloy components below the arena turned into glowing red molten iron the moment they touched the sea of fire.
The sea of fire contained materialized dragon pressure, directly targeting Yuwen Hao's body and spirit.
Yuwen Hao's scalp went numb, and he immediately changed his tactics.
His hands formed a strange seal.
Starlight flared from the chest of the Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation, which then collapsed inward.
Ultimate move: Grand Void Return to Origin.
A void black hole with a diameter of a hundred meters appeared out of thin air above the arena.
The black hole rotated slowly, emitting a terrifying devouring and pulling force.
The sky-spanning sea of cyan fire was forcibly pulled into the black hole.
Not only that, this suction force directly locked onto Lin Yuan, attempting to drain the true essence from his body.
Yuwen Hao's face showed a look of madness.
“So what if your manifestation is strong? Once your true essence is exhausted, you’ll be a useless person!”
Lin Yuan stood on the dragon's head, allowing the wild winds to whip his clothes.
He looked at the continuously expanding void black hole and spat out a cold sentence.
“Playing at devouring with me? Your ancestor is right here.”
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, palm facing up.
A phantom of a pure black lotus slowly bloomed in his palm.
The guixu black lotus.
Destructive Black Flames spread along Lin Yuan's arm, instantly covering the entire body of the Azure Dragon Profound Armor Manifestation.
The originally cyan dragon breath completely transformed into a pitch-black pillar of fire at this moment.
The black flames did not emit any high heat.
Instead, it devoured all the surrounding heat.
The pitch-black pillar of fire poured directly into the void black hole.
Yuwen Hao, who was still laughing wildly, was stunned in the next second.
The expected energy explosion did not occur.
The void black hole not only failed to devour the black flames, but it even stopped rotating.
The Fire of Guixu displayed its overbearing and matchless assimilation properties.
It treated the void black hole as the most delicious fuel.
The pure black flames proliferated frantically inside the black hole.
In just two breaths of time, the silver-white void black hole turned completely pitch-black.
The black flames spread backward along the void connection of the Grand Void Return to Origin.
Tongues of fire licked onto the arms of the Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation.
“Ah!”
Yuwen Hao let out an extremely shrill scream.
He discovered in horror that the Emperor Realm true essence within his body was being frantically drained away.
All of that drained true essence became nourishment for the black flames.
The starlight of the Grand Void Zhou Tian Manifestation dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Sever! Sever the connection!”
Yuwen Hao desperately tried to cut off the output of true essence, attempting to stop the spread of the black flames.
But once touched by the Fire of Guixu, there was simply no way to escape it.
The black flames traveled up the arms and had already spread to the chest of the manifestation.
Yuwen Hao panicked completely; disregarding his dignity as a Divine Son, he forcibly activated the Grand Void Body.
He wanted to escape into the void and wait for an opportunity.
Translucent silver light surfaced on his body.
Just as he was about to phase out, the surrounding space suddenly grew heavy.
Countless deep purple vines had emerged from the ground at some unknown time.
The three-dimensional net of the void-eroding thousand-knot vine completely closed in.
Silver spatial cracks flickered frantically on the vines.
The surrounding void was completely disrupted, turning into an impenetrable wall of iron.
The silver light on Yuwen Hao's body flickered twice before directly extinguishing.
