UGB Chapter 186 Monster
Chapter 186 Monster
Some huge, grotesque skeletons were half-buried under the dust and rubble.
Some belong to unknown sea creatures, while others clearly bear the characteristics of dragons.
Curved horns, a slender spine, and enormous claw bones.
The power of time and destruction is vividly displayed here.
"The Dragon Transformation Vine... is over there." Nan Longyue's voice trembled slightly.
Her pale finger pointed to the back of the Dragon Pool, to a dilapidated corner formed by a collapsed giant crystal cluster and a broken dragon pillar.
Chen Xu keenly sensed that the remaining life force in that area was much more active than in other places.
However, just as the two carefully bypassed the dried-up dragon pool and approached their target corner, a sudden change occurred.
"roar!!!"
A deep roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the crystal cluster ruins.
The entire space of Yulongyuan seemed to tremble, and dust fell in a flurry.
In an instant, an immense amount of resentment and a frenzied, blood-red aura surged into the sky.
The ruins exploded with a deafening roar, sending crystal shards and rubble flying like a torrential rain.
A gigantic figure slowly rose from the ruins.
It was not a living thing, but rather a terrifying creation composed of countless dark red vines and shattered dragon bones.
Its main body is a section of spine covered with hideous cracks, exuding a suffocating ancient dragon aura.
"Ancient dragon remains... Dragon Transformation Vine... They've fused together?!" Nan Longyue exclaimed in shock.
She sensed the resentment and bitterness contained within the wreckage, the result of her failed dragon transformation.
The remaining dragon soul's will, along with the dragon-transforming vines and dragon blood essence left behind in this place, were eroded and polluted by the bloodlust and resentment of the ruins over endless years, eventually forming this mutated monster.
The monster's aura had reached a terrifying late-stage Core Formation realm.
"Unauthorized...entry...will...die..." The hoarse mental fluctuations, like a tangible shockwave, crashed hard into the souls of Chen Xu and Nan Longyue.
Faced with this terrifying existence far surpassing the Fiendish Dragon Locked Spirit, a look of solemnity flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
"Give me fifteen breaths!!" Chen Xu shouted in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Nan Longyue's eyes.
She did not hesitate at all when faced with the ferocious monster that was a fusion of the remains of an ancient dragon and the Dragon Transformation Vine.
The azure dragon pattern between his brows seemed to be burning, and an ancient majesty originating from the depths of his bloodline suddenly erupted.
She rapidly formed hand seals, causing water vapor around her to gather wildly and instantly condense into nine rapidly spinning ice cones.
Nine streaks of light, carrying a chilling aura, instantly tore through the air and shot towards the monster that had just risen from the ruins.
"roar!!"
The monster roared, and the shockwave of its mind crashed into Nan Longyue and Chen Xu like a tangible tsunami.
Nan Longyue groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her delicate body trembling violently, but she still managed to maintain the trajectory of the ice spike.
The mysterious spiritual light on Chen Xu's body fluctuated violently as he quickly summoned an ancient tortoise-shell shield to block in front of him.
The runes on the shield flashed wildly, barely managing to withstand the terrifying mental impact, but his body was still pushed back several feet.
Nine ice spikes hit the target precisely.
The power of deep cold erupted instantly, and nine key parts of the monster's massive body were immediately covered with thick ice.
The dragon patterns within the ice shimmered with golden light, like invisible chains, which actually caused the monster's movements to suddenly freeze.
The dark red vines tried to struggle, but were frozen solid by the ice.
However, this restraint lasted for less than three breaths.
The ancient dragon's spine, riddled with cracks, suddenly glowed with a blinding blood-red light. Announcement: An update is coming soon, please stay tuned! An even more violent and venomous power surged forth.
The hard, dark ice was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
The crimson light eroded the ice layer from the inside like lava, and the dark red vines twisted wildly, drawing the last bit of power from the ancient dragon's remains.
"Pfft!" Nan Longyue was struck hard and spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale.
Even the dragon pattern between his eyebrows had dimmed considerably.
Forcibly activating a high-level secret technique to fight against a monster far beyond her own level caused her to suffer a severe backlash.
At this moment, the fused monster completely broke free of its restraints, and its giant claw, made of vines and broken bones, carrying a monstrous bloodthirsty resentment, slammed down fiercely towards Chen Xu.
Before the claws even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the ground around Chen Xu to crack inch by inch.
The fifth breath...
Chen Xu's eyes were cold, showing no sign of panic.
The mysterious spiritual light compressed onto the body surface, forming a tough, deep blue film.
At the same time, the longsword in his hand burst forth with light, transforming into a condensed azure sword aura that fiercely pierced towards the descending giant claw palm.
Boom!!!
At the point where the sword and claw clashed, a violent surge of energy swept out, completely leveling the nearby broken crystal pillars.
The ground beneath Chen Xu's feet suddenly collapsed, forming a deep pit.
Although the giant claw was momentarily blocked by this attack, its downward momentum was slightly reduced.
But the immense force still slammed Chen Xu into the deep pit, filling the air with smoke and dust.
"Senior!" Nan Longyue cried out in terror, struggling to rush over.
"Senior!" Nan Longyue cried out in terror, struggling to rush over.
"Roar!" The fused monster seemed to be completely enraged. It believed that Chen Xu was doomed, and its bloodshot, bony eye sockets suddenly turned towards Nan Longyue.
It opened its massive mouth, and blood-red light gathered wildly deep within its throat, brewing a destructive energy surge.
The tenth breath...
In the deep pit, Chen Xu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a sharp pain shot through his sternum. If it weren't for the protection of his body by the Xuan Shui spiritual light and the tempering of his body by the dragon bones, that claw attack would have been enough to smash him into mincemeat.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes becoming even sharper.
There are six breaths left until the fifteenth breath, he still needs some time.
"Longyue, hold on!" Chen Xu's voice rang out directly in Nan Longyue's mind through his divine sense.
Nan Longyue was startled. She bit her tongue and used her blood essence to reactivate the dragon pattern between her eyebrows.
The azure light shone again, forming one sturdy water curtain and ice wall after another in front of them.
The twelfth breath...
The blood flames that had been fused with the monster's mouth were finally spewed out.
Wherever the blood flames passed, the air hissed as it was corroded, and even space itself was slightly distorted.
The first layer of water curtain laid down by Nanlongyue evaporated instantly.
The second layer of ice wall shattered in less than half a breath.
Then, the third and fourth layers!
The torrent of blood flames surged forward with unstoppable force, threatening to engulf Nanlongyue.
The fourteenth breath...
Just as the torrent of blood flames was about to break through the last two layers of defense, a terrifying aura shot into the sky from the deep pit.
[Ultimate Ascension] has finally been triggered.
Chen Xu's aura broke through to the early stage of Core Formation the instant the fifteenth breath arrived.
That 30% damage bonus, combined with Chen Xu's maximized attack speed, is enough to make him virtually invincible in battles during the Core Formation stage.
"You wicked creature, prepare to die!!"
Chen Xu's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
Facing the torrent of blood flames that was about to engulf Nanlongyue, Chen Xu's longsword had already created afterimages.
Countless sword lights, carrying terrifying power, swept towards the monster...
