Chapter 525 - 317: Earth-Shattering Demonic Power, the Dragon Transformation Skill Returns
At this moment, the Nine Netherworld Snake roared loudly, instantly reverting to its strongest form. The moment the nine heads appeared, it let out an earth-shattering roar.
Then something terrifying happened. The Nine Netherworld Snake actually shattered a piece of space with brute force.
The Dragon Scorpion King and other Demon Kings swallowed nervously.
Between a Divine Beast and an Immortal Beast, there is but a single thought of difference, yet the gap in strength is as vast as the heavens and the earth.
"Come quickly to assist me."
After speaking, the Nine Netherworld Snake broke through the void.
The Dragon Scorpion King and the others couldn’t enter this space, so they had no choice but to fly over.
They knew that rushing over at this time was surely too late.
However, since the Nine Netherworld Snake had given the order, they dared not disobey.
As the Nine Netherworld Snake crossed the space fissure, memories gradually emerged.
The Nine Netherworld Snake originally did not possess Demon King strength. It was able to step into Immortal Beast territory, thanks to an immense immortal fortune it found in an abyssal canyon.
By chance, it stumbled across this immortal fortune and entered the realm of Immortal Beasts, to say the least.
Within the abyss, it also obtained a construction diagram.
This diagram pertained to the use of the Dragon Vein.
The diagram was inscribed on a stone stele, leaving only a single sentence:
He who obtains the Dragon Vein shall obtain the world.
The Power of Dragon Vein is the force derived from the Eight Trigrams Array and Dragon Transformation Skill.
"I should have realized that the Human Race had long acquired it." The Nine Netherworld Snake pondered, quickening its pace involuntarily.
...
At this moment, peace blanketed the sky above the Eight Trigrams City. Gu Ning, the Great Elder, and others all stood aloft, challenging anyone who dared to intrude.
Yet the peace was short-lived, as suddenly, a rift appeared in the space.
"This is bad."
The Great Elder gazed at the rift, and Gu Ning and the others sensed it too.
The power within belonged to the Nine Netherworld Snake.
They commanded the Spirit Beasts to attack the space rift, attempting to trap the Nine Netherworld Snake within the spatial hole.
Unexpectedly, a powerful force erupted abruptly, and subsequently, the nine-headed giant snake soared into the sky.
At this moment, it descended like a demonic king, overlooking all beneath.
The moment the Nine Netherworld Snake appeared, it lifted its head to gaze at the massive light sphere above, surveying its surroundings, ultimately fixing its eyes on Bai Ling.
Though it had never seen Bai Ling, it knew the threat lay with her at this moment.
It hesitated not a second, aware that the formation was yet incomplete, roaring furiously as a massive energy ball spewed from its mouth, shooting straight for Bai Ling.
The Great Elder’s Spirit Beast burst into the sky, intercepting the attack with its flesh.
Yet, unexpectedly, the Great Elder’s Spirit Beast also fell to the ground, barely alive, no longer capable of continuing the battle.
"You seek death."
Completely enraged, the Nine Netherworld Snake did not wish to be entangled by these lackeys like the Great Elder.
"What are you waiting for?" the Great Elder shouted.
Gu Ning, Gu An, Li Hai, and others finally made their move, swarming forward.
In an instant, it was eight Spirit Beasts fighting against the Nine Netherworld Snake.
Gu Ning wielded the Dragon Transformation Skill, confronting in its strongest form, yet his attack appeared laughable to the Nine Netherworld Snake.
"Did your teacher only teach you this much?" the Nine Netherworld Snake sneered, responding with a sound-barrier-breaking energy attack.
Gu Ning and the Spirit Dragon were struck by the blast, thrown back hundreds of meters, lying on the ground unable to move.
The terrifying power of the Nine Netherworld Snake sent shivers through everyone.
How fearsome this Nine Netherworld Snake is...
Years ago, Zhong Nan actually used the Dragon Transformation Skill to fight it to a standstill.
It is evident how strong Zhong Nan’s abilities were back then.
Gu An and others, unfazed by fear, continued to drive the Spirit Beasts forward.
At this moment, ensuring Bai Ling’s success was imperative; otherwise, all prior efforts would be in vain.
Yet their abilities mostly matched the Great Elder’s, far from being the Nine Netherworld Snake’s match.
In just three rounds, they were at a disadvantage.
"What? Has your ancestor not arrived?" the Nine Netherworld Snake laughed heartily, seeing Gu An and others fallen alongside their Spirit Beasts, finding it unnecessary to finish them off.
Now, they could no longer hinder its steps.
It advanced step by step toward Bai Ling, preparing to disrupt the array, intending to kill the Nine Netherworld Snake barehanded.
"This is terrible!"
Surrounding soldiers, disregarding everything, summoned Spirit Beasts, charging forward en masse.
Yet, their power discrepancy with the Nine Netherworld Snake was too great; in the blink of an eye, many had fallen.
Some even vanished into ash.
"It’s over." The Nine Netherworld Snake gazed at Bai Ling.
At this moment, Bai Ling remained with her eyes shut. She could sense what was happening outside, yet she could not open her eyes.
To endure such immense power, one must be fully devoted.
A slight mistake would result in her body exploding.
As the Nine Netherworld Snake was about to approach Bai Ling, at this moment, a figure stood between her and the Nine Netherworld Snake.
He rode a bull, appearing so slender...
Just like his strength.
"Oh?"
The Nine Netherworld Snake chuckled at the newcomer, "An ant!"
Then it prepared to crush him to dust.
At this moment, that person performed a hand seal, adopting the Dragon Transformation Skill stance.
Instantly, a dragon roar reverberated through the sky, capturing everyone’s attention.
...
"Lin... Lin Chen?!"
Indeed, when Lin Chen appeared, many people turned to look.
Even Gu Ning had to admit, if they were peers, Lin Chen was more outstanding than himself.
Yet even mastering the Dragon Transformation Skill, he couldn’t contend with the Nine Netherworld Snake, let alone say Lin Chen’s Spirit Beast was merely level fifty.
The gap in strength wasn’t even on the same line.
Until the dragon roar echoed, Gu Ning tightened involuntarily.
"Dragon Transformation Skill?!"
Though concealed by the Tree Ancestor, as the National Preceptor, Gu Ning discerned at a glance, it was indeed the Dragon Transformation Skill.
At this moment, underground, a Dragon Vein was activated by Lin Chen, coiling around him.
Subsequently, his power climbed progressively.
"Interesting...." the Nine Netherworld Snake remarked, "It seems the Dragon Transformation Skill isn’t the sole truth transmission."
Lin Chen didn’t speak, only exerting his utmost, channeling the Dragon Transformation Skill’s power.
Ultimately, he imbued all this power into Xiaobai.
In an instant, a golden Xiaobai emerged into the sky.
"You think this will defeat me?" the Nine Netherworld Snake laughed, swinging a punch in human form.
Lin Chen immediately instructed Xiaobai to enter the Divine Demon Frenzy State.
Yet even so, Xiaobai was knocked back several steps, struggling to find steady footing.
At this moment, the demonic bull on Xiaobai finally emerged, now immense and shimmering with golden light.
"Divine and Demonic Power?!"
The Nine Netherworld Snake gazed at the demon bull, its brow furrowing deeply.
The Divine and Demonic Power is one of the most formidable forces in existence. Realistically, were it and Xiaobai at the same level, it would be easily crushed.
However, there remained a gap between them.
And this gap wasn’t small.
"Die!"
The Nine Netherworld Snake was grateful for the opportunity to resolve Xiaobai at this moment.
Lin Chen, without hesitation, wielded the Dragon Transformation Skill, saying to Xiaobai:
"Demon Bull Appearance!"
Xiaobai shouted loudly, and within the void, the demon bull sensed the threat, its form radiating a red-golden light, immediately breaking free from all the void chains.
