CHAPTER 753: CHAPTER 464: GRAVITY BOMB

Ji Xinghuo emerged from the void, and the world before his eyes returned to normal. Below was a desolate, isolated island, only a dozen or so square kilometers in size.

Thud!

The Cloud Sea Dragon, forcibly brought over, crashed heavily onto the island, its body encased in shattering ice. Constant electric shocks paralyzed it with intense pain, and now after being thrown down, as it barely realized its freedom and was about to take flight, a shadow pressed down on it heavily.

Qing Hong revealed its true form and underwent gigantification, swelling instantly to over thirty meters in length.

Although it was only a quarter of the length of the Cloud Sea Dragon, Qing Hong was much stronger and heavier.

Fifth Level Gravity Field activated!

The entire desolate island was enveloped within it, gravity bursting to more than a hundred times its normal force.

Qing Hong fiercely pressed down on the Cloud Sea Dragon’s head, its forelimbs shooting out Sky Splitting Claws with ten giant talons resting on the Cloud Sea Dragon’s neck.

With just a little more force, it could decapitate the dragon.

The Cloud Sea Dragon sensed extreme danger, struggled for a moment, and as the Sky Splitting Claw cut into its dragon scales spewing blood, it dared not move anymore.

Even, it dared not expel its dragon breath.

Ji Xinghuo landed in front of the Cloud Sea Dragon. Facing its glaring dragon eyes, there was not a trace of emotion on his face, just ruthless coldness.

"I’m counting to three."

As Ji Xinghuo spoke, his stature also expanded to over five meters tall, entering his Giant form, almost touching the Cloud Sea Dragon’s head as he looked into its eyes and said indifferently, "I know you can understand. Submit, or die. 1..."

The Cloud Sea Dragon immediately became furious and frenzied.

Ignoring the Sky Splitting Claws pressing on its neck, amidst gushing blood, it desperately opened its dragon mouth intending to unleash its dragon breath.

However, Ji Xinghuo was unmoved, his gaze fixed on the Cloud Sea Dragon’s eyes as they shone with a dark gold color, a breath of ancient majesty suddenly emerged.

The Cloud Sea Dragon’s struggling body instantly stiffened.

At that moment, its mind went blank, its eyes only perceiving the immense authority in the man’s gaze, as if he was the dominator of the world, and it was but an insignificant ant before him, both its body and soul trembling violently, unable to muster any thought of resistance.

"2..."

Ji Xinghuo continued counting.

When he reached 3, the Cloud Sea Dragon was still in a daze, lying on the ground like a mud eel, unresponsive.

"Finish it off," Ji Xinghuo had no intention of waiting any longer, and immediately ordered Qing Hong.

The Xukun Tianlin was about to arrive, and they could not afford to bring the Cloud Sea Dragon as a burden; it was better to simply slaughter this dragon and collect the Alien Species.

Just as Qing Hong’s claws were about to strike, the Cloud Sea Dragon suddenly awoke.

"Whimper..."

The Cloud Sea Dragon pleaded to Ji Xinghuo, its eyes devoid of any previous defiance, its wild aggression gone, exceedingly submissive and even facing the predicament of imminent execution, it dared not resist.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, of course it was best not to kill it.

"Qing Hong, take this dragon back to seek Cang Ya, to recognize Cang Ya as master. If it dares to show any sign of movement or attempt to flee, kill it directly," he instructed.

The Cloud Sea Dragon was in a weakened state, and with its vital point in Qing Hong’s grasp, it would not be difficult for Qing Hong to kill it.

Qing Hong let out a low growl to show it understood.

White light illuminated its body, and seconds later, it entered a Star Realm Jump with the Cloud Sea Dragon. Ji Xinghuo was left alone on the deserted island.

Ji Xinghuo stood on the island.

The area of this isolated island was irregular, barren without a trace of vegetation; the entire island was actually a single massive rock, the ground extremely tough.

Electromagnetic Induction scanned the surroundings, keeping track of any activity on the isolated island and nearby waters.

His eyes pierced through the void.

"They’re here."

"To arrive so quickly indicates that Cang Ya has already been defeated. She only managed to hold off Xukun Tianlin for less than half a minute; the difference in strength is considerable."

"But it’s enough!"

Ji Xinghuo’s eyes saw through the layers of spatial folds, a massive shadow swiftly traversing from afar at an extremely fast speed.

The only one that could catch up so quickly was Xukun Tianlin.

The Xukun Dragon, with the void as its sea, moved freely within the Star Realm. Its formidable innate talents and abilities were well known in the True Dragon Dynasty, and Ji Xinghuo naturally knew about its ability to track through Star Realm Jumps and had made ample preparations.

He stayed behind to buy time for Cang Ya, to ensure the Cloud Sea Dragon accepted a new master.

Dark light flashed in Ji Xinghuo’s left eye.

Jiu You appeared from the Supreme Dark Magic Ball, immediately attaching itself to Ji Xinghuo, activating the "Dark Avatar"!

In an instant, his skin surged with shadows, his eyes turned pitch black, even the whites of his eyes darkened. His body became virtualized, existing between light and darkness, transferring all the abilities from the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface of Jiu You onto himself.

Empowered by the Solar Eclipse Ability "King of Annihilation," Ji Xinghuo sensed the omnipresent dark energy and began to absorb it frenetically into his body.

Suddenly, his strength surged!

The Star Power he had just consumed recovered at a rocket’s pace, requiring less than a minute to return to its peak.

The King of Annihilation could directly absorb dark energy, converting it to Star Power and Spiritual Energy, maintaining an inexhaustible battle strength.

Ji Xinghuo’s Electromagnetic Star Power also transformed into Dark Energy Star Power.

With a thought,

The dark light faded from his skin and eyes, his strength unchanged, but he still maintained his Giant form outwardly, and his aura was concealed by the Deception Mask, remaining at the Legendary First Dan, appearing to be a pure warrior.

Myriad Phenomena!

After preparing himself, Ji Xinghuo’s right eye shimmered lightly, and his field of vision foresaw the events of the next few seconds.

He sprinted across the isolated island, each step shattering the solid rock, leaving deep footprints behind, almost instantly reaching Star Realm Supersonic speed. His arm muscles bulged, clenching a ten-meter-long massive spear in his hand.

This was a giant spear forged by fusing multiple steel spears, weighing hundreds of tons.

With the momentum of a running start, Ji Xinghuo hurled the massive spear.

Boom!

The steel spear tore through the air with an explosive roar, turning into a black shadow that shot up into the sky, with the sound waves echoing over the sea.

A gigantic figure emerged from the void, towering like a mountain; the moment it appeared, it unleashed a terrifying oppressive force. Within a dozen kilometers, gravity increased a thousandfold, flattening the sparkling sea surface as smooth as a mirror.

The Xukun Dragon had caught up.

Standing on the back of the colossal creature was a figure, none other than Xukun Tianlin, who was extremely cautious and took the initiative to strike first.

But Xukun Tianlin found he was still too slow!

As soon as he leaped out of the void, he sensed an extreme danger approaching and immediately locked onto the source of the threat.

It was a steel spear.

Fast as lightning, it was shot from below. Initially, the angle was too steep, but under the influence of the Xukun Dragon’s thousandfold gravity, its flight path began to fall, precisely aiming straight toward him.

The Xukun Dragon also noticed the steel spear, attempting to control it with gravity or change its direction, but it was simply too late.

"Too late!"

Xukun Tianlin was shocked in his heart.

Before he could even complete his thought, the steel spear had already struck.

Boom!

A loud noise.

A transparent protective field was triggered outside Xukun Tianlin’s body. The steel spear collided with it, unleashing a horrific kinetic energy, shattering the field instantly, and sending Xukun Tianlin flying away, while the spear was deflected toward the Xukun Dragon below.

The Xukun Dragon’s grey-blue scales were smooth and interconnected like fish skin, which also triggered a layer of protective field.

The spear, spinning sideways, pierced through the field, and immediately the dragon scales shattered, and a large area of flesh turned into a blur.

The Xukun Dragon let out a low, pained roar.

Such an injury was not fatal for its massive body, only amounting to superficial wounds, but the pain was real.

But its master was not so lucky.

"Pfft..."

Xukun Tianlin was sent flying hundreds of meters, spewing mouthfuls of fresh blood, but he ignored his own injuries and instantly moved back onto the Xukun Dragon, drawing life force from his own dragon body, as his pale complexion swiftly regained color.

Their massive bodies harbored an ocean-like life force, which was a huge advantage for the Xukun Dragons.

Xukun Dragon Lords usually merged with a "Life Link," sharing life and death with their dragons, sharing injuries, and healing wounds.

This made them extremely difficult to kill.

Unless, they could one-shot the Dragon Lord; however, Xukun Dragon Lords’ bodies were equally robust, inheriting the strength of Xukun Dragons, their defense and recovery power far surpassing that of mutants of the same rank;

Or they killed the Xukun Dragon first, then the Dragon Lord.

Both methods were extremely difficult.

"Tsk..."

"Really hard to kill!"

Seeing that Xukun Tianlin’s injuries had instantly healed, Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help feeling that it was very troublesome. With his own strength, trying to kill the opponent while avoiding revealing his identity and not using electromagnetic element ability or the Annihilation Dragon was almost impossible.

He had originally thought there might be a chance to kill the Xukun Dragon and collect the Divine Dragon Species’ ability to fuse with Doomsday.

It seemed there was no chance of that now.

As a member of the Divine Dragon Species, the talents and abilities of the Xukun Dragon were not inferior to those of the Annihilation Dragon, and even seemed stronger.

However, the Xukun Dragon had one fatal flaw.

They grew too slowly!

A Xukun Dragon took hundreds of Star Realm years to metamorphose from Flood Level to Bright Level, ten times slower than other dragon species; to proceed from Bright Level to Earthquake Level, Meteor Level, it took several hundreds to even thousands of Star Realm years.

The evolution of Xukun Dragons was even more challenging than metamorphosis, with the lengthy time spans enough to witness a race’s rise and fall.

Moreover, they had a hard time reproducing, ranking second-to-last in numbers, amounting to less than ten individuals.

The last on the list was the Annihilation Dragon.

The reason the Xukun Family in Tianxu Domain had been declining for nearly a thousand years was that the ancestral Slaughter Star Level Xukun Dragon suddenly disappeared, and other Xukun Dragons had not grown up, leaving the family without a pillar to rely on.

Knowing it was impossible to kill the Xukun Dragon, Ji Xinghuo did not immediately strike again.

Xukun Tianlin also saw him.

"I admit, I underestimated you," Xukun Tianlin said with a gloomy face, looking down at Ji Xinghuo on the island, his eyes showing a hint of wariness. He swept his gaze around and found Ji Xinghuo alone, then asked with a deep voice, "Where’s the Cloud Sea Dragon?"

No sooner had he spoken than he sensed the lingering jump vibrations left by Qing Hong, who had apparently returned the same way they came.

This made him realize that he had been played!

"The Cloud Sea Dragon is merely a casual encounter with prey, insignificant," Xukun Tianlin was now truly enraged, pointing at Ji Xinghuo and saying in a voice as loud as a bell, "And you, a fool who only shows his tail, thinking you have a bit of intelligence and skill, dare to perform tricks in front of me, Xukun Tianlin. You are courting death!"

The thunder-like voice echoed in the sky.

Every word spoken by Xukun Tianlin was imbued with surging energy that stirred the void and spread out in ripples.

The space within a hundred kilometers was sealed, preventing Star Realm jumps and instantaneous movements, and rendering all space-related abilities unusable.

Xukun Tianlin was unaffected.

"Roar!"

The Xukun Dragon opened its gaping maw and let out an enduring Dragon Roar. At once, within a range of over twenty kilometers centered on it, gravity spiked again, being stronger the closer to it, and the isolated island beneath Ji Xinghuo began to collapse.

Simultaneously, Xukun Tianlin’s attack arrived.

He pointed at Ji Xinghuo from afar and the void twisted; a black sphere that seemed to absorb even light appeared instantly above Ji Xinghuo’s head.

"Gravity Bomb!"

This was one of the most powerful moves of the Gravity Stringers, sharing the same principle as the Supergravity Bomb but with much less power.

Still, the lethality of a Gravity Bomb was extremely terrifying.

Nearly no one below the Seventh Rank could withstand it.
