Chương 154: War God — Chapter 154 - Battle Against the Dragon Skull Remains!

The moment the lid lifted. A dragon's roar, silenced for decades, echoed as if from distant clouds. Wang Xian immediately retreated at top speed. The next instant, a massive dragon skull flew out from the coffin. The Cloud Demon Dragon's remains! Even though only a skull remained, its body became a black hole, pulling all the mountain of corpses from across the entire relic site through the air to beneath the skull. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying dragon-shaped beast over 100 meters long had formed.

This body was probably utterly minuscule compared to when it was alive. But right now, with that lingering trace of Cloud Demon Dragon aura combined with the barely assembled dragon body, it was enough to sweep through everything. The gravity field around them began to skyrocket. A powerful presence continuously radiated from that enormous skull. Wang Xian narrowed his eyes at the Cloud Demon Dragon's remains.

He understood why this thing in his past life had risen from B-rank to S-rank in just a few days, causing the disaster in North Zang. It was the remains of a former Z-rank Beast. The particularly troublesome Cloud Demon Dragon remains at that. The Cloud Demon Dragon itself excelled at manipulating space. If not for Yang Tianchan also being skilled in spatial power back then, dealing with this beast would have been truly difficult.

What was even more terrifying was that the demon blade had already absorbed much of the remains' life force. It had absorbed so much that the demon blade itself couldn't bear any more, and Yan Zhaoxue had also absorbed to full saturation. Yet upon awakening now, it still possessed such powerful aura. But...

"This place shall be your grave!" Wang Xian focused his gaze on the Cloud Demon Dragon. He had already figured out how to deal with these remains. And the key lay with Yan Zhaoxue beside him. At this moment, Yan Zhaoxue had already activated the illusory dragon wings behind her, flying directly into the air to face the remains. The originally overwhelming draconic might of the remains seemed to have no effect on Yan Zhaoxue whatsoever.

After her talent evolved, she clearly now possessed sufficiently strong special attack and resistance against dragon-type beasts. That's right. The key lay with Yan Zhaoxue. Wang Xian wasn't foolish enough to fight this Cloud Demon Dragon remains himself in his current state: a mere C-rank who had fought for a day and slain thousands of beasts. Fighting for an entire day, dealing with so many beasts in the relic site.

For him, perhaps his Spirit Malevolence hadn't been consumed much, and his physical body couldn't be called overly exhausted. But mental fatigue was still present to some degree. And even if Spirit Malevolence could restore his physical state to a certain extent, inside his body, things like his bones, sinews, and organs were actually tired overall. This wasn't like last time when he resolved over 1, 000 Bone-Eroding Leopards in under half an hour.

This was truly nearly a full day of killing, and every single dragon-shaped corpse beast here was not easy to deal with. Especially those C-rank Skeletal Demon Dragons. It was fortunate that the demon blade had cultivated the Weapon Six Yao and opened the White Tiger Trigram, or else the blade edge would probably have been chipped and curled.

These Skeletal Demon Dragons, with defense no less than that of a snapping turtle, combined with C-rank beginner life force: basic-level martial techniques were barely effective against them. Only advanced martial techniques could deal effective damage. In his plan, for killing the Cloud Demon Dragon remains this time, Yan Zhaoxue, who possessed fourth-realm peak strength, was the true main force. That was why he had cleared out all the other beasts in the relic site first.

Then, using an extremely troublesome method, absorbed the Cloud Demon Dragon's dragon energy and transferred it to Yan Zhaoxue to help her recover. At the same time, this was also the only opportunity for the two of them to leave the relic site. It was also the fastest, most trouble-free, and most profitable method. And regarding the Cloud Demon Dragon, Wang Xian did have some understanding of it. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

At this moment, the dragon skull remains looked at Yan Zhaoxue and, without any hesitation, directly spewed out a gray mist. The mist condensed into a dragon soldier, its form like an illusion as it attacked Yan Zhaoxue. Wang Xian fixed his gaze and shouted:"That's Cloud Nether Dragon Breath! Don't attack those dragon soldiers. If you attack them, the spatial power within the mist will teleport you to a designated position around its body! Just evade them!" Yan Zhaoxue's mind stirred.

She trusted the senior's words without the slightest hesitation. Wang Xian focused his gaze and watched closely. Although he had some understanding of the Cloud Demon Dragon, he hadn't told Yan Zhaoxue in advance for only one reason. The Cloud Demon Dragon's attacks were complex and its methods diverse. Even as remains, it was impossible to fully predict exactly how it would attack. This was no Flame Demon Flood Dragon, a beast that had struggled with all its might just to reach C-rank peak.

This was a beast that had been Z-rank when alive. Even as remains, it was countless times stronger than that Flame Demon Flood Dragon. For instance, just in terms of breath attacks, the Cloud Demon Dragon skull remains had at least over 10 different types of dragon breath, each with different effects. Listing out all that information piece by piece would take days. Where was the time to delay? Even if he told her, Yan Zhaoxue might not be able to fully adapt during the fight.

It was better to rely on the trust between the two of them, observe and point things out directly during battle, and let Yan Zhaoxue adapt on the fly. With division of labor, Yan Zhaoxue wouldn't need to split her focus on figuring out what moves the opponent would use. Full concentration, only responsible for fighting. This way was more convenient, more effective. Within the mist, Yan Zhaoxue moved like a streak of light, constantly evading those dragon soldiers.

The long spear in her hand charged power and condensed light, forming a similar dragon shape. With her evolved talent, she could now briefly soar in midair, absolutely possessing the strength to face the Cloud Demon Dragon remains in direct combat. And with the senior beside her, her fighting spirit blazed.

"Don't attack the rotting flesh dragon body assembled beneath its skull! It's completely useless! Because it can use its powerful spatial power to infinitely reassemble it!"

"The domain has changed! Gravity has increased 50 times! Watch the skull! The skull has developed 'Reverse Scale Cloud Patterns'! Quickly get out of the incomplete domain! Don't attack it! When the skull has Reverse Scale Cloud Patterns, any attack you make will be reflected back by space!"

"Don't use transcendent martial techniques! Conserve your talent power! Just keep wearing it down with your advanced martial techniques!" Yan Zhaoxue felt as if she had gained an external brain. Almost every attack from the Cloud Demon Dragon, under the senior's observation, could be evaded in advance, allowing her to unleash her full power freely. So satisfying! But at the same time, she was also a bit worried... However...

"You don't need to worry about me! Right now, the Cloud Demon Dragon is just remains, its will unclear. In this entire relic site, you possess a martial talent, and a dragon-related martial talent at that. So to it, you hold absolute hatred and attraction! It absolutely won't pay attention to me. Don't forget why beasts love devouring martial warriors so much!" The senior had even considered her worries. Her entire body trembled slightly. That's right.

Martial warriors who possessed martial talent had an extremely fatal attraction to beasts. If the Cloud Demon Dragon were fully conscious, it might turn around and attack Wang Xian. But having been suppressed for decades, with only remains left, it simply wouldn't attack Wang Xian. Right now, the Cloud Demon Dragon seemed to have completely forgotten Wang Xian's existence. Those hollow dragon eyes were practically fixed dead on Yan Zhaoxue.

"The cloud patterns have disappeared! Quick! Use the last move of the Hidden Dragon Five Forms!" Wang Xian suddenly shouted. As his words fell, as if connected by telepathy, Yan Zhaoxue suddenly leaped above the dragon skull remains, person and spear seeming to merge into one. A single strike landed directly on top of the dragon skull remains. In that instant, the already-remains dragon skull immediately developed countless cracks.

With a life force as high as 100, 000, under this single spear strike, the power was terrifying to the extreme. Wang Xian, with a life force of only 1, 000, even if he fully opened all 20 divine meridians, his numerical value couldn't reach this level. This was solid fourth-realm peak, and Yan Zhaoxue, who had also unlocked a full three gene locks. Why did Chi Jiuyou dare to come down?

Wasn't it precisely because he calculated that Yan Zhaoxue, falling into the relic site completely unprepared, with her talent power drawn upon and her primeval energy depleted, her combat strength greatly reduced, coupled with strength roughly on par with Yan Zhaoxue, he was certain he could kill both of them? Then take the key, the broken blade of the Martial God Divine Weapon, and leave gracefully.

But the key was, at Coiling Dragon Mountain, Wang Xian had first instantly slain over 100 D-rank Iron Scale Wolves, then at Dragon Tiger Ridge killed the Mountain-Treading Demon Tiger and three fourth-realm beginner assassin martial warriors. This level of strength made Chi Jiuyou deeply wary in his heart. Combined with not wanting to expose himself, he thought to secretly lure Wang Xian into taking out the stone key and strike at the moment the coffin was opened.

In that kind of situation, Wang Xian wasn't confident he could take it. Chi Jiuyou was no ordinary prodigy from the Dragon Nation's Five Greats. In his past life, he was a figure called a treacherous hero. How could he not have any preparations or tricks? Plus, with fourth-realm peak strength comparable to Yan Zhaoxue. Between Wang Xian and those three fourth-realm beginner assassin martial warriors, there might only be a tenfold life force gap, and he could still kill them once he opened his divine meridians.

But against a fourth-realm peak like this, there was roughly a hundredfold gap in life force foundation. In a real fight, he could only say he could retreat unscathed. Killing was out of the question. Wang Xian had been thinking of completely trapping Chi Jiuyou inside the relic site, then using those corpse beasts on the battlefield as chess pieces to deal with Chi Jiuyou. Because Chi Jiuyou possessed a martial talent no less than Yan Zhaoxue's.

Once those corpse beasts awakened, their targets would only lock onto Chi Jiuyou and Yan Zhaoxue. He could take Yan Zhaoxue and hide to the side. He still had the Cicada Garment, which isolated beast perception. Unable to perceive Yan Zhaoxue, those corpse beasts' targets would only lock onto Chi Jiuyou. No matter how strong he was, after killing so many beasts, his fourth-realm peak strength wouldn't be much left. Then at that time, he would strike with thunderous methods. Chi Jiuyou would be dead without a doubt.

However, he hadn't expected Chi Jiuyou to be so keenly sensitive to danger. Without even being exposed, he directly slipped away. As expected of a treacherous hero. ➤ Next: Cloud Demon Dragon Wreckage Bone Fragment and Thousand Tribulations Dragon Sp...
