In the recent attack, though Lin Yun had the upper hand, Ao Tiancheng’s physical body was remarkably resilient, and his defence was formidable. The attack only caused Ao Tiancheng minor discomfort without inflicting substantial harm.
“Damn it! You’ve really gotten stronger!” Ao Tiancheng, steadying himself, seethed with anger.
“What? Regretting your acceptance now?” Lin Yun grinned.
“Hmph, you think this improvement means you can defeat me? Dream on!” Ao Tiancheng’s face twisted with ferocity.
Though he had taken a hit, his robust dragon physique gave him confidence. Why fear Lin Yun?
Roar.
With a sky-shaking dragon roar, Ao Tiancheng’s body was instantly enveloped in a blood-red glow.
His second-grade bloodline had erupted!
The effect of Ao Tiancheng’s bloodline, once unleashed, was quite pronounced.
“Divine Dragon Breath!”
Having activated his bloodline, Ao Tiancheng opened his gaping maw, light flickering within. A terrifying blood-red torrent surged forth, rushing toward Lin Yun.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The torrent triggered a tremor in the heavens and earth, its power astonishing.
Lin Yun had faced this move before.
“Unfortunately, for the current me, this attack is far too weak!” Lin Yun flashed a confident smile.
“Divine Dragon Art!”
As the Divine Dragon Art activated, Lin Yun’s inner energy transformed into potent dragon energy, surging endlessly and converging on his sword.
The sword was instantly cloaked in golden light, the light coiling around it like a swimming dragon.
In the next moment, Lin Yun slashed again, meeting the oncoming torrent head-on.
Boom!
Under the gaze of the entire crowd, their attacks collided with startling speed.
As the forces clashed, the impact created a vacuum zone, tearing black rifts in the space. The terrifying energy unleashed towering waves across a hundred-mile radius.
At the point of collision, Ao Tiancheng’s Divine Dragon Breath crumbled instantly under Lin Yun’s ferocious sword strike, dissipating into nothing!
After shattering the Divine Dragon Breath, the remaining force of the sword surged toward Ao Tiancheng.
“What?” Ao Tiancheng’s expression changed drastically.
He hadn’t expected his all-out attack to be so utterly ineffective against Lin Yun.
The incoming sword strike caught him off guard.
Pfft!
As the sword shadow passed, Ao Tiancheng spewed blood, his massive body tumbling backward from the impact.
A ghastly wound appeared on his body, the dragon scales at the wound clearly pierced!
“This… this…”
As Ao Tiancheng reeled from the injury, the scene fell into dead silence.
The East Sea Dragon Palace members’ faces turned grim, shock evident in their expressions.
They knew how strong Ao Tiancheng was, with his Seven Claws realm and second-grade bloodline, especially after unleashing his bloodline and using the powerful Divine Dragon Breath, which he had mastered to a high degree.
Yet, his attack had been so thoroughly crushed by Lin Yun’s assault?
What shocked them most wasn’t just this. They clearly remembered the Sky Dragon Platform battle, where Lin Yun had been defeated by Ao Tiancheng and conceded, the gap between them significant!
How long had it been? In less than three months, Lin Yun could now dominate Ao Tiancheng?
“Crushed, haha, completely crushed!” the Little Green Dragon laughed excitedly.
“In less than three months, Elder Lin Yun has grown this much?” The Second Elder of the West Sea Dragon Palace was utterly shocked.
“His… his rate of improvement is staggering,” the Grand Elder of the West Sea Dragon Palace said, his gaze filled with astonishment and disbelief.
He vividly recalled that when Lin Yun first arrived at the West Sea Dragon Palace, he had barely defeated the Four-Clawed Ao Qirui.
Lin Yun’s growth speed left even the Grand Elder awestruck, almost unbelievable!
“Haha, well done, kid!” the Little Green Dragon cheered, thrilled by Lin Yun’s commanding advantage.
“Ao Tiancheng’s last attack was definitely his strongest, yet he was still injured. It seems this battle is decided,” the South Sea Dragon King, watching from afar, remarked.
In the battlefield.
After tumbling repeatedly, Ao Tiancheng barely stabilized himself.
“How can this be? How!” Ao Tiancheng’s eyes burned red, roaring with unwillingness.
In the Sky Dragon Platform battle, he had clearly outclassed Lin Yun by a wide margin. In less than three months, how could Lin Yun’s strength have changed so drastically?
Moreover, Ao Tiancheng had also gained improvements during the Dragon Emperor’s trials.
Yet, in the face of Lin Yun’s terrifying sword strike, he felt only deep powerlessness.
This was something he couldn’t fathom or accept!
“Ao Tiancheng, you’ve lost. A bet’s a bet. Now, it’s time for me to state my request,” Lin Yun said, approaching him.
That was also the first time Lin Yun had used the Divine Dragon Art in combat, and its effect was, naturally, very satisfying!
“You only injured me. I haven’t lost!” Ao Tiancheng’s venomous gaze flickered with madness.
With that, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with some dark red essence.
“Sacrificing essence blood!”
“Is Ao Tiancheng mad? This will boost his strength temporarily, but it’ll cause him immense harm!” the North and South Sea Dragon Palace teams, watching from afar, exclaimed in shock.
At the West Sea Dragon Palace.
“Ao Tiancheng is sacrificing his essence blood? He’s lost it, absolutely lost it!” the Grand Elder cried out in disbelief.
“It seems Ao Tiancheng’s gone all out, willing to pay any price to turn the tables. I wonder if Lin Yun can handle this,” the Second Elder said.
The East Sea Dragon King and his team’s faces darkened at the sight.
“Ao Tiancheng, are you insane? Who told you to do this!” the East Sea Dragon King roared like thunder.
With his second-grade bloodline, Ao Tiancheng was a treasure to the East Sea Dragon Palace, destined to become a top-tier fighter and possibly even succeed the Grand Elder in time.
Using his essence blood would boost his combat power temporarily but would severely impact his future growth!
