Chapter 906: Battling the king
’No time to think.’
Max’s legs kicked off the ground as he activated One Step Mile, his body flashing forward like a streak of blue lightning. His entire frame blurred, weaving through the surging black fog, barely avoiding the gnashing jaws snapping shut behind him. He darted deeper into the Black Dog Abyss without a shred of hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
From a distance, his figure looked almost spectral—like a phantom trailing blue sparks, slicing through the waves of Yin energy. But before relief could even touch him, a deafening roar ripped through the air once again, far louder and sharper than before.
The Black Dog King had joined the chase.
The ground quaked violently under its monstrous steps, pebbles and boulders bouncing up with each stride. Despite its enormous size, the beast moved with horrifying speed, its two heads locked on Max like a predator hunting a single piece of prey. Its jaws opened wide, revealing rows of jagged, ivory fangs dripping with venomous saliva. Then, with an ear-splitting crack, it unleashed its power.
From one head, a black arc of light erupted, dense and sharp like a spear forged from pure Yin energy. The attack split the air as it screamed forward, shattering the void itself as it moved straight for Max’s back.
Max’s pupils constricted sharply. ’That attack...’ The aura of death it carried was suffocating.
"Not good!"
In an instant, his body reacted on pure instinct. Max activated Dragon Scales Transformation, black and golden scales rippling across his skin like a living armor. The power of 800 Draconic Essences burst from within him, flooding his limbs with explosive force.
