Inside the fire vein, Mo Fan’s entire body was shattered.
He had underestimated the ancestor-realm chi dragon’s strength after all. That tail swipe nearly exploded his whole body. Even his protective dragon qi failed to block it and was forcibly scattered.
At this moment, almost no part of him was intact. Cracks covered his skin, making him feel as if he had fallen into hell, in excruciating pain.
Moreover, the flames in the soil layer continued eroding his body.
Any other cultivator would long have been burned to ashes.
But Mo Fan was different. His physical strength rivalled a treasure, and with his fire spirit body, the fire vein not only harmed him but nourished him like a great tonic.
Buzz.
In an instant, a flame mark appeared on Mo Fan’s forehead, fully activating his fire spirit body.
The next moment, his ruined body began actively absorbing the surrounding fire power. His skin grew redder, like a boiled prawn.
Divine ability, regeneration!
Mo Fan let out a low roar. His internal injuries healed rapidly. The cracks on his surface closed and scabbed at a visible speed.
However, his low roar was heard by the ancestor-realm chi dragon in the air.
Originally, after swatting Mo Fan underground, the ancestor-realm chi dragon planned to deal with Yingying Monster. But now Mo Fan’s roar drew its attention.
A trace of surprise flashed in its massive dragon eyes, soon turning to cold menace.
Quickly, vast divine sense extended, sweeping the ground. It indeed detected Mo Fan’s anomaly.
“Still alive!”
The ancestor-realm chi dragon snorted coldly. The next moment, it opened its mouth and spat a terrifying dragon breath downward!
“Kid, since you are not dead yet, this ancestor will fulfil you and make you thoroughly dead!”
The terrifying dragon breath turned into a wisp of black flame, like a black waterfall, rushing straight towards the crimson earth, as if to incinerate everything!
“Ang, roar!!”
But at that moment, a deafening dragon chant came from underground.
Boom!
The next instant, the earth exploded. A colossal figure shot skyward from within.
It bathed in brilliant golden light, flying rapidly against the terrifying black dragon breath towards the ancestor-realm chi dragon.
The ancestor-realm chi dragon’s pupils contracted at the sight.
It never imagined the fellow who should have died would transform into a chi dragon like itself!
Mo Fan had indeed turned into a chi dragon, a blood-coloured one just like the ancestor-realm chi dragon!
Moreover, the dragon qi emanating from him was no weaker than its own.
“But mere form. A fake is just a fake. Watch this ancestor tear you apart!”
After examining for a moment, the ancestor-realm chi dragon gradually saw through it. Mo Fan was not a true chi dragon like itself, only transformed via some divine ability.
It sensed no kindred aura on Mo Fan, just an astonishing amount of dragon qi.
This made the ancestor-realm chi dragon covetous.
Dragon qi was vital cultivation resource for it too!
“Eat you, and perhaps this ancestor can advance further!”
The ancestor-realm chi dragon grinned viciously and pounced directly at Mo Fan!
Mo Fan showed no fear and charged at the opponent.
The current chi dragon transformation was one of his strongest states. His overall physical strength had jumped an entire major realm.
In other words, his physical strength and power now rivalled early ancestor-realm!
And the physical body was the only thing not suppressed by Dragon Ruins rules!
At this moment, Mo Fan’s strength had reached its peak!
“Kill!”
He let out a heaven-shaking roar and actively pounced at the ancestor-realm chi dragon.
Soon, the two blood-coloured chi dragons tangled together, fighting fiercely above the fire vein tomb cavern. No fancy techniques, just raw physical combat.
Yet even so, Mo Fan was no match.
He despairingly discovered this blood-coloured chi dragon’s cultivation had advanced further, reaching mid-ancestor-realm. Its entire body was a size larger than his current form. Both power and defence far surpassed him.
After a brief clash, Mo Fan quickly fell to disadvantage, bitten hard on the neck by the ancestor-realm chi dragon.
But even then, Mo Fan refused to give up. He seized the chance to channel life-death poison through his blood into the opponent’s mouth.
Sure enough, the ancestor-realm chi dragon soon released its jaws. Its massive body swayed in the air, as if about to fall any moment.
Mo Fan opened his mouth again, sacrificing the Thunder God Spear. He enlarged it to over ten zhang, gripped it with one dragon claw, and attacked once more.
“Vile fellow, you dare use poison against this ancestor!”
The ancestor-realm chi dragon raged. In mere moments, it fully suppressed the life-death poison within. With a tail swipe, it sent Mo Fan and the Thunder God Spear flying, crashing heavily into the distant cavern wall with a deafening boom.
Mo Fan was not surprised by the reaction.
He had long known life-death poison would not affect this fellow much, so he had held back. He only used it just now to escape the clamp.
But the opponent was far more terrifying than anticipated.
The life-death poison only stalled it briefly. Before he could counterattack, the toxin was completely suppressed.
“Worthy of a demon ancestor. In that case, how will you block this?”
Mo Fan took a deep breath. Ruthlessness showed in his eyes. Demon power surged within. A lightning mark appeared on his forehead.
In an instant, countless arcs emerged on his body. Thunder snakes danced over him.
Boom!
At this point, muffled thunder-like sounds came from above the fire vein cavern.
Unnoticed, dense thunderclouds had gathered in the empty sky. Lightning bolts shuttled through the clouds.
A destructive aura suddenly descended, locking onto the ancestor-realm chi dragon.
The ancestor-realm chi dragon slowly raised its head. After a glance at the thunderclouds, it sneered disdainfully. “Flashy tricks. With your mere half-step demon king cultivation, how powerful can any divine ability be?”
“This ancestor will make you despair today!”
With those words, it turned into a thunderbolt and shot towards Mo Fan!
Though a chi dragon, it belonged to true dragons, and dragons naturally excelled in wind and thunder!
Mo Fan watched without surprise. He even knew his next divine ability could not truly injure this fellow.
But his goal was never to defeat or kill the opponent.
Everything was just to buy time!
He glanced at the golden radiance on the distant jade stone. It had become transparent, meaning Yingying Monster was nearly done absorbing the true dragon blood.
Divine ability, Thunder Emperor Dharma Form!
In an instant, Mo Fan unleashed his only ancestor-realm divine ability.
Boom!
In the sky, furious thunder roared. Then a gigantic figure manifested from the thunderclouds.
