The figure was so enormous that even the colossal body of the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon appeared to shrink dramatically in an instant before it.
In the blink of an eye, a gigantic war spear forged entirely from thunder crashed down from the heavens. Its speed was astonishing, its might overwhelming, and it instantly cut off the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon’s path forward.
“Boom!”
Amidst rolling thunder, the war spear transformed into a streak of purple lightning that charged straight at the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon, as if someone were wielding thunder from within the storm clouds and lightly sweeping it across the earth.
Wherever it passed, thunder boomed upon the ground, triggering a series of dense explosions.
Although the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon had claimed not to care, when it truly witnessed this scene, it still instinctively tried to dodge.
Its speed was incredible, no slower than Mo Fan’s Wind-Thunder Escape, and in fact even a fraction faster.
Yet even so, it could not outrun the pursuing purple lightning and was ultimately struck hard on the head.
With just one blow, the protective dragon aura covering the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon’s body began to ripple violently, as though it might shatter at any moment.
Seeing this, Mo Fan could not help but smile bitterly.
As expected, even after unleashing an Ancestral Realm divine ability, he could not seriously injure this fellow, nor even breach its protective dragon aura.
“Hahahaha… Kid, so this is the trump card you were talking about?”
“Now it seems it is nothing special!”
“All thunder but no rain, that perfectly describes your divine ability, does it not?”
Once the terrifying purple lightning above its head vanished, the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon was briefly stunned, then burst into mocking laughter.
It had genuinely been frightened by the aura that Mo Fan’s divine ability had gathered moments ago, but the result turned out to be underwhelming.
“Hmph! If you have the ability, break this divine ability completely before you speak!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly. The lightning mark between his brows released brilliant light, and the blurry figure within the thunderclouds gradually grew clearer, radiating an even stronger pressure than before.
“Kid, this ancestor understands perfectly well that you are only stalling for time, hoping that little creature will fully absorb the True Dragon blood, are you not?”
The Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon’s words caused Mo Fan’s expression to change slightly, only for him to then hear the other party sneer coldly, “Unfortunately, you do not realise that this ancestor has deliberately allowed it to absorb the blood all along.”
“Absorbing True Dragon blood is an exceedingly tedious process. This ancestor has experienced it once already and has no wish to endure it a second time. Therefore, this ancestor decided to let that little creature absorb the True Dragon blood first, then this ancestor will simply devour it afterwards. That way, all of the True Dragon blood will return to this ancestor’s body!”
“This ancestor wants not only the True Dragon inheritance, but the Chi Dragon bloodline as well!”
The Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon laughed sinisterly. Though only recently born, it had awakened many memories from its bloodline and was far from a blank slate.
On the contrary, it was extremely cunning.
Thus, Mo Fan’s intentions had long been seen through. The reason it pretended not to know was that it had conceived an even better plan.
That plan was to devour both Mo Fan and the Whimpering Beast together.
Although Mo Fan was not a true Chi Dragon, the dragon aura within his body was considerable, naturally arousing the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon’s greed.
It knew full well that if it first went to eat the little creature on the jade stone, the fine, long-legged delicacy before it would escape.
So it was better to devour this fellow first, then go eat the seemingly not-very-bright little creature afterwards. Would that not be the perfect outcome?
The Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon’s words sent a chill through Mo Fan’s heart, yet the coldness in his eyes only grew deeper.
As expected, this fellow would never let the Whimpering Beast go under any circumstances, and now it had set its sights on him as well. It truly deserved to die.
With that thought, Mo Fan no longer hesitated and pushed the Thunder Emperor Dharma Manifestation divine ability to its utmost limit.
Finally, amidst rolling thunder, the figure within the thunderclouds above began to move.
It raised one foot, then stamped down heavily.
Boom!
In an instant, thunder exploded overhead, and an enormous boot shining with brilliant lightning descended from the sky.
This was an armoured foot manifested from thunder, mountainous in size.
“Insolence!”
Enraged beyond measure, the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon roared.
A mighty Ancestral Realm great demon like itself was actually being stepped on. Even though this was merely a divine ability technique, it still felt deeply humiliated.
Thus, it lashed its dragon tail, turning it into a gigantic whip that whipped upwards to meet the descending thunder giant foot.
Boom!
A tremendous crash echoed through the air. The Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon was forcibly stomped into the ground.
However, after unleashing the power of that kick, the thunder giant foot also disintegrated.
Mo Fan’s gaze focused.
This was undoubtedly an opportunity for him. He immediately flew above the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon, and just as the opponent was about to burst out from the earth, he lashed out with his tail.
Divine Ability: Doubling Technique!
Divine Ability: Air Burst!
The moment the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon’s head emerged from the ground, it was solidly struck by Mo Fan’s tail.
“Roar!!”
In an instant, the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon was whipped back underground, furious and frustrated, letting out an enraged bellow.
Yet Mo Fan did not stop there. He immediately summoned the Thunder God Spear and frantically poured lightning power into it.
The Thunder God Spear grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding to several dozen zhang in length before ruthlessly stabbing towards the spot where the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon lay.
Boom!
An earth-shaking explosion instantly resounded throughout the entire fire vein cavern. This strike directly split open massive cracks in the fire vein below the cavern.
With the spear as a conduit, the entire fire vein instantly erupted.
In a flash, the cavern floor shattered completely, and terrifying pillars of fire burst forth from the ground, threatening to engulf the entire cave.
“Oh no, I overdid it!”
Mo Fan’s eyelid twitched. He had no time to check on the opponent’s condition. He immediately recalled the Thunder God Spear, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and sped towards the jade stone.
“Daddy, what happened?”
“Why do I feel like it is getting hotter and hotter here?”
Even the Whimpering Beast, immersed in absorbing the True Dragon blood, was startled awake. The moment it looked up, it saw Mo Fan flying over.
Although Mo Fan was still in Chi Dragon form, the Whimpering Beast recognised the familiar scent on him and immediately knew who it was.
“Still not finished absorbing?”
Mo Fan glanced at the faint golden radiance covering the Whimpering Beast’s body and felt rather helpless.
“Daddy, almost. Just give me two more days.” The Whimpering Beast blinked at Mo Fan.
Two more days?
Mo Fan rolled his eyes in exasperation and said with frustrated disappointment, “In two more days, your daddy’s corpse will have turned into a pile of dung!”
“Stop absorbing. This stuff is addictive. Come with Daddy and run first!”
With that, Mo Fan grabbed the little creature in one swipe, then flew through the sea of fire towards the distant tunnel.
Originally, he had wanted to stall as long as possible so the Whimpering Beast could fully absorb that drop of True Dragon blood, but now it seemed that was nothing but a pipe dream.
For the sake of his life, he could only make an early escape.
At the same time, a rather malicious idea formed in Mo Fan’s mind.
Everyone here had come to hunt for treasure, so why should he alone bear the burden of such a terrifying enemy?
Since all of you want the immortal treasure, you can first deal with this obstacle together!
His target was clear: he headed straight for the main tomb chamber in his memory, intending to let those old monsters share the damage.
“Roar!”
“Damn brat, do not even think of escaping!!”
As Mo Fan charged into the tunnel, the furious roar of the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon faintly echoed from behind.
