Chapter 377: Chapter 378: Frenzied Attack
Mu Can found that the Void Creature, in its berserk state, was far more terrifying and aggressive than when it had just burst out from the breaking of the seal. If its initial attacks had been driven by the instinct to feed, its current onslaught was fueled entirely by hatred. Imagine, if you were trapped under a seal for an innumerable number of years and suddenly regained freedom, only to encounter a few weak beings barely suitable as food, and just as you were about to pounce for a meal, you end up wounded by the attacks of these little bugs.
“Roar!” The Void Creature, severely injured, let out a pained howl. However, as its eyes had been damaged by Donghuang’s attack, it could only rely on its perception to launch its strikes.
The ax-wielding burly man saw a blur before his eyes as the wounded Void Creature instantly teleported in front of him and mercilessly thrust its long spear towards him. Fortunately, the burly man was already on guard against the Void Creature’s assault; he rolled on the spot, dodging the attack. The long spear stuck fiercely into the ground, piercing a deep hole in the surface engraved with an array.
“Attack! What are you waiting for?” The unassuming man, seeing the burly man suddenly under attack, let out an angry roar. If they let this chance slip away, all their painstaking efforts would have been squandered.
“Double Dragon Formation.” Mu Can was the first to react. By this time, the burly man had also come to his senses and began defending against the Void Creature’s attacks like a torrential storm, holding up a huge shield. However, he resembled a small boat in a storm, seemingly about to be overwhelmed by the waves at any moment.
A red and white Spiritual Power Giant Dragon formed instantly, roaring angrily as they charged at the Void Creature.
As the two dragons, one red and one white, soared through the sky, they slowly merged into a Giant Dragon with red and white patterned scales. The merged dragon had a more agile gaze, as if it had come to life, and even without Mu Can’s control, it rushed towards the Void Creature.
The Giant Dragon let out a dragon cry, its aura faintly emanating Martial Saint Level strength. Mu Can’s Spiritual Power Avatar had achieved Martial Saint Level power.
While Mu Can unleashed his attack, the others were not idle either. They all understood that if the attack did not injure the Void Creature, then once it recovered, they would face an even more difficult situation than now.
As they were all poised to strike with all their might, the Void Creature, a perfect clone summoned by Dongfeng Shuo emerging from the mirror, gradually took shape, uncannily opening its eyes. With one step, it walked right out of the mirror. Mu Can keenly noticed that upon the appearance of the mirror’s Void Creature, it was constantly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Power, growing stronger—from being at the Martial Arts Sect level when it first appeared, it had astonishingly advanced to the Martial Saint Level.
The Void Creature summoned by Dongfeng Shuo took huge strides and rapidly approached the righteous Void Creature, raising its massive paw and launching a vicious attack.
And at this moment, the red and white Giant Dragon, transformed from Mu Can’s Spiritual Power, rushed to the side of the Void Creature, its massive body instantly coiling around it. The Void Creature, with its impaired vision, had become incredibly sensitive. It suddenly found its movements restricted and instantly became enraged. Its four arms flailed wildly, directly attacking the red and white Giant Dragon wrapped around itself. Controlled by Mu Can, the Giant Dragon had shrunk to just the right size to entwine the Void Creature, not only restricting its movements but also allowing others to strike at it.
Even injured, a Void Creature is still a formidable foe. To it, the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon summoned by Mu Can was as fragile as paper. Under the frenzied assault of the Void Creature, the body of the dragon split open like ice, but the fragments burst into flames the moment they separated from the body, sticking to the Void Creature and searing it intensely. Moreover, the ignited spots also set the intact parts ablaze, causing the entire Giant Dragon to erupt in a ferocious inferno.
The ice shaped by Mu Can’s Spiritual Power was no longer ordinary ice. In the presence of flames, it acted like a powerful catalyst, intensifying Mu Can’s own fire.
Whilst consumed by flames, the Void Creature did not showcase the reaction Mu Can had anticipated. It seemed as though these mere flames could not injure it at all, as its attention was entirely captured by the illusions created by Dongfeng Shuo.
It sniffed the air frantically, as if catching the scent of its kind, and abandoned the muscular man, charging straight at the Spiritual Power Avatar.
Dongfeng Shuo’s maneuver had managed to make the Spiritual Power Avatar resemble an actual creature so closely that even the scent mimicked the real thing.
Just as the Void Creature believed it had encountered a fellow being, it was immediately struck by the illusion. At that moment, the Void Creature also regained its sight. Donghuang’s attack had blinded a Void Creature for nearly ten seconds—a truly formidable feat. Mu Can couldn’t help but wonder how he would withstand such intense and blinding light. The only answers were to either erect more than three layers of Ice Shields in front of himself or to harness the power of the Reincarnation Pearl; otherwise, he would likely be injured under such fierce onslaught.
Sensing the ability to see once again, the Void Creature issued an angry roar towards the sky. Then, its hand gripping a long knife, it fiercely chopped down on the Spiritual Power Avatar. The blade penetrated about three centimeters before it could advance no further, indicating the remarkable strength of the Spiritual Power Avatar summoned by Dongfeng Shuo. The Avatar, as if feeling pain, wildly swung its four arms and fiercely struck back at the Void Creature, with both identical entities entangled in battle.
Boom!
At this moment, the second wave of attacks from the others arrived close to the Void Creature. Another massive Light Ball condensed in front of Donghuang quickly moved towards the lower half of the Void Creature. After a loud explosion, it released a tremendous amount of heat. With the increase in temperature, the fiery eyes released by Mu Can previously wrapped around the Void Creature soared up, even covering the full extent of the Void Creature’s body, turning it into a figure of fire.
And Donghuang’s attack didn’t end there. After the explosion of the Light Ball released enough heat, it transformed into a streak of light that directly entered the knee of the Void Creature. Donghuang’s second round of attack was still aimed at reducing the speed of the Void Creature.
