Though Ao Tiancheng had the upper hand, forcing Lin Yun to retreat and defend repeatedly, this was far from his initial plan to effortlessly crush and defeat him!
“Damn it, you think this will help? You’re destined to fall to me, Ao Tiancheng, today!” Ao Tiancheng roared in fury.
As his words fell, his hundred-metre-long body surged forward, claws bared, charging at Lin Yun once more!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two clashed fiercely.
Below the stage.
“This human guest elder from the West Sea Dragon Palace is actually quite impressive.”
“Indeed, quite strong. Based on ancient records of human strength, his power far exceeds his second-level Myriad Realms realm, doesn’t it?”
The members of the four dragon palaces buzzed with discussion.
Even though Lin Yun was at a disadvantage and the situation looked tough, his strength and performance had already exceeded everyone’s expectations.
At the East Sea Dragon Palace’s position.
“He’s still holding on!”
Many members of the East Sea Dragon Palace were visibly shocked.
They all knew how formidable Ao Tiancheng was.
“He’ll lose, no question about it. He’s just got high defense, holding out a bit longer at best,” the East Sea Dragon Palace elder said coldly.
At the West Sea Dragon Palace’s position.
“Elder Lin Yun can actually hold out this long against Ao Tiancheng!”
“Elder Lin Yun’s strength is incredible!”
The West Sea Dragon Palace members were all astounded.
Though Lin Yun was still at a disadvantage in the fierce battle, his ability to fight like this against a seven-clawed Ao Tiancheng was already shocking.
The gap in their realms was significant!
“No wonder Elder Lin Yun dared to step up, he really has some means to compete,” the Second Elder of the West Sea Dragon Palace said, impressed.
He had strongly opposed Lin Yun taking the stage, thinking his current realm would lead to defeat against a six-clawed dragon, let alone a seven-clawed Ao Tiancheng.
Watching the stage, the Second Elder continued, stunned, “Just over a year ago, Elder Lin Yun fought Ao Qirui, a four-clawed dragon, to secure his guest elder status at our West Sea Dragon Palace, and it was a tough battle. To think, in just over a year, he’s grown to this level!”
“This brat’s strength is growing too fast,” Little Green Dragon said, equally impressed.
Though Little Green Dragon had seen some of Lin Yun’s abilities during the mine dispute, that was against a five-clawed dragon, and now he was facing a full seven-clawed one!
The Second Elder shook his head and sighed, “But Ao Tiancheng is a seven-clawed dragon. Lin Yun’s constantly on the back foot and will eventually lose. Ao Tiancheng hasn’t fully unleashed his bloodline yet. Thankfully, we still have His Majesty the Dragon King to finish this.”
In the Second Elder’s view, whether Lin Yun won or lost didn’t matter, as Little Green Dragon could still vie for the championship.
“Oh no! He’s using his bloodline power!” a West Sea Dragon Palace member exclaimed.
On the Heavenly Dragon Platform.
“Brat, I’m done wasting time with you. Let’s end this!”
Ao Tiancheng’s second-grade bloodline power erupted, his dragon scales turning crimson, exuding a monstrous aura.
In their earlier clash, Lin Yun had been fully defending, and though he was at a disadvantage and struggling, Ao Tiancheng couldn’t gain a decisive edge.
Against a second-level Myriad Realms human like Lin Yun, Ao Tiancheng had initially disdained using his bloodline power, but now, out of patience, he refused to drag this out!
With his bloodline power unleashed, Ao Tiancheng charged at Lin Yun with earth-shaking force!
Feeling the terrifying power, Lin Yun’s expression shifted.
*Slaughter Heaven’s Killing Seal!*
Three blood seals formed on Lin Yun’s chest, instantly boosting his aura!
For Lin Yun, now at the Myriad Realms realm, the three blood seals didn’t provide as significant a boost as before, but they still offered a decent increase. He had no other options.
*Heavenly Origin Sword Technique, Second Form: Great Annihilation!*
Lin Yun’s sword flashed, unleashing a strike!
The sword’s power surged, infused with Lin Yun’s physical strength, *Heaven-Shaking Hand*, divine sense, and profound insights.
Rip!
The sword transformed into a massive shadow, tearing through the air, striking at the oncoming Ao Tiancheng.
After unleashing the *Slaughter Heaven’s Killing Seal*, this was nearly Lin Yun’s strongest attack.
The massive sword shadow collided fiercely with Ao Tiancheng’s charge!
Boom!
The terrifying collision sent shockwaves across the stage.
Both attacks rapidly weakened.
Lin Yun’s attack held for only a moment before breaking, the remaining force sending him staggering back involuntarily.
After shattering Lin Yun’s attack, Ao Tiancheng charged forward, a claw slamming towards Lin Yun.
“Damn it!”
Lin Yun retreated quickly, swinging his sword to block.
But the dragon claw still left a deep, bloody gash on Lin Yun’s shoulder!
Though Lin Yun’s physical defense was strong, bolstered by the Heart of Frost, the claw’s power and sharpness were staggering.
“Let’s see how long you can hold out!”
Ao Tiancheng’s claw struck again with terrifying force, relentless, giving Lin Yun no chance to breathe!
This scene made Little Green Dragon and the West Sea Dragon Palace members’ faces pale.
“Brat, get off the stage!” Little Green Dragon shouted urgently.
If this continued, Lin Yun would suffer greatly!
On the stage.
End it like this? Lin Yun was clearly unwilling!
But he had to admit his opponent’s strength!
Now injured, with his opponent seizing the chance to press the attack, Lin Yun was bound to suffer even more!
At that moment, Ao Tiancheng’s claw came again with ferocious power.
“Purple Star Sword, it’s time to show your might!”
Lin Yun unleashed all his techniques, striking with another sword thrust.
The Purple Star Sword trembled, a dazzling purple light surging, instantly elevating the sword’s power to a new level!
This was the full might of an Origin-level weapon!
Boom!
In an instant, the sword’s strike clashed with the oncoming dragon claw, producing a deafening roar!
The terrifying impact shook the entire Heavenly Dragon Platform.
As their powers clashed, both Lin Yun and Ao Tiancheng were forced back!
“What?!”
The members of the four dragon palaces were stunned by the sight.
After Ao Tiancheng unleashed his bloodline power, Lin Yun had actually forced him back?
This was beyond everyone’s expectations!
