Lin Xiao’s expression turned grave; the might of the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon’s attack was simply too overwhelming. Ordinary attacks would surely fail to withstand it.
In that moment, he channelled his elemental force to its peak, activating the Blood Dragon phenomenon.
“Roar!”
A dragon’s roar resounded as a crimson glow burst forth from his dantian. A massive blood-red dragon materialised above his head, its ancient, desolate aura surging outward, its unmatched pressure radiating in all directions.
Instantly, the heavens and earth changed colour; the entire sky seemed dyed with blood, taking on the same hue as the Blood Dragon.
Simultaneously, a ferocious martial intent enveloped the surroundings.
“Great Azure Dragon Slash!” Lin Xiao’s booming voice echoed as he unleashed a strike powered to its utmost limit.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar shook the heavens and earth. Dazzling azure light burst forth, and a near-tangible azure dragon of light soared into the sky, clashing head-on with the golden dragon fist beam of the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon.
“Rumble!”
A thunderous boom, like a peal of lightning, rang out. A blinding light, brighter than the sun, erupted, and waves of energy surged outward like a tempest, carrying torrents of power that swept across all directions.
“Dragon Sweeps the Nine Heavens!” Seeing its dragon clan martial technique blocked, the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon let out a thunderous roar. Its aura surged, its dragon head raised skyward, and it let out a long, resounding howl.
“Aow!”
A heaven-shaking dragon roar erupted, its terrifying sonic waves transforming into sharp, piercing sound blasts that surged forward. The rolling energy and shockwaves from the previous attack were carried forward by this dragon roar.
The sonic waves seemed capable of shattering everything, rushing towards Lin Xiao with unstoppable force.
“Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Roar!”
Seeing the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon unleash a sonic attack, Lin Xiao immediately countered with his Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Roar.
His spiritual energy coursed through complex pathways in his mind, and from his brow, the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon spirit energy surged forth.
The moment the dragon head emerged, its massive jaws opened wide, as if bursting from his brow. Before the dragon’s form fully manifested, its giant maw unleashed a piercing, earth-shattering roar. The thunder energy in the dragon’s jaws instantly transformed into a massive sonic wave. What could have formed a hundred-zhang-long thunder dragon instead collapsed into sound waves the moment it emerged, surging forward like thousands of crashing waves.
“Roar!”
Amid the heaven-shaking dragon roars, the two sonic waves collided, clashing and repelling each other. The sound waves churned violently in the void before rapidly dissipating, neither penetrating the other’s direction.
“Interesting, you can use sonic attacks too!”
Surprised to see its sonic wave blocked, the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon’s aura surged again. Its long dragon body began to writhe.
“Divine Dragon Tail Sweep, Heaven-Cleaving Blade!”
With a thunderous shout, the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon swung its tail through the air with the force of a thousand armies, lashing forward.
The dragon tail, like a sharp sword, drew a brilliant golden arc through the void, slicing towards Lin Xiao with a magnificent curve.
The golden light was like a rainbow spanning the heavens, like lightning cleaving the sky, imbued with the power to sweep and shatter everything.
“Yaoguang!”
At that moment, Lin Xiao’s body became translucent, radiant white light bursting forth. The Yaoguang Broken Sword trembled, and a vast, unmatched wave of energy surged from both him and the sword.
As Lin Xiao slashed downward, a white sword beam, imbued with the power to annihilate all things, shot forward.
Simultaneously, with a thunderous roar, the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon spirit energy surged from Lin Xiao’s brow. A hundred-zhang thunder dragon, formed of endless lightning, followed the Yaoguang sword beam, charging forward.
“Rumble!” “Rumble!” “Rumble!”
The two forces collided, unleashing an earth-shattering sound. A storm of energy, like a raging sea, erupted. The sky seemed to be swept by an energy hurricane, with rolling waves of power and dazzling light everywhere.
This clash was too powerful; both combatants were forced to retreat, temporarily halting their relentless attacks.
As he retreated, Lin Xiao’s vast, ocean-like elemental force surged within him, continuously flowing into his fingers.
At the same time, spiritual energy and the Devouring Azure Flame spirit energy coursed through his meridians, rushing towards his fingertips.
Clearly, he was preparing to unleash his strongest attack, the Devouring Spirit Finger, a fusion of elemental and spiritual power.
The Three-Clawed Divine Dragon was too formidable; perhaps only this strike could harm it.
“To possess two types of spirit energy, truly unprecedented! It seems I underestimated you!”
The Three-Clawed Divine Dragon spoke in astonishment. “But I wonder, do you have any other trump cards? If not, I’m afraid you still won’t be able to kill me.”
As it spoke, the dragon’s aura surged once more, its terrifying power brewing again.
“I do. Let’s see if you can withstand it!” Lin Xiao said calmly.
His body appeared serene, but within, endless power and energy surged towards his fingers.
His fingertip, like a black hole capable of devouring all things, absorbed the relentless influx of energy before compressing it.
The primary components were elemental force, spiritual power, and the fused spirit energies, with a trace of thunder energy mixed in.
“Oh? Is that so?”
The Three-Clawed Divine Dragon’s face showed anticipation, its towering battle intent surging. “Kid, show me all your trump cards. Let me see just how much humans are capable of!”
“Fine, then die!”
With that, Lin Xiao pointed his finger, and a tiny speck of light shot from his fingertip.
The speck was infinitesimally small, yet it seemed to contain boundless energy, as if it could shatter the heavens and destroy the earth.
The moment the speck shot forth, an overwhelming, ferocious aura ravaged the entire world.
The heavens and earth seemed unable to contain the energy of this speck, trembling and quaking.
Moreover, the speck’s speed was faster than light itself, reaching the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon in the blink of an eye.
Sensing the terrifying aura, the Three-Clawed Divine Dragon halted its attack and unleashed its strongest dragon clan defence.
“Dragon Shield!”
With a thunderous shout, a massive golden shield formed around the dragon, enveloping its long body. The shield was impregnable, adorned with mysterious patterns, wrapping the dragon tightly.
