Chapter 1010: Another One Bites The Dust?
With a loud and piercing dragon roar, Tang Mohuang gave up his human form in exchange for his true dragon body. He transformed almost instantly into a streak of crimson light, merging directly into the massive fire dragon projection.
The moment his body merged, the enormous fire dragon shrank by about a third, putting more distance between it and the sword light beam. At the same time, the fire dragon's body became significantly more solid, and a large flower bloomed atop the fire dragon's head—the Everblaze Sunflower.
Empowered by the Everblaze Sunflower, the flames around the fire dragon burst skyward with tangible intensity, slightly slowing the descent of the massive sword light. At the same time, the fire dragon opened its maw and spat out the Heavenly Fire Pearls. Like shooting stars, the three flaming pearls struck the descending sword light in succession.
They exploded with massive bursts of flame in red, orange, and blue hues. The sword light, which appeared capable of splitting the heavens, stalled three times under the assault, its seemingly unstoppable momentum visibly dimmed.
Yet in the end, the Heavenly Fire Pearls were all blasted away, one after another. The now-diminished sword light still pressed downward, continuing its descent toward the fire dragon.
So strong...
Tang Mohuang had poured his full power into activating the Heavenly Fire Pearls. With the might of his clan's most powerful divine items and his own peak Great Demon King cultivation, he still couldn't fully block the sword light?
He truly hadn't expected this outcome. But there was no time for hesitation; the terrifying sword intent he felt pressing down on his fire dragon manifestation made the threat of death feel all too real.
The Everblaze Sunflower atop the dragon's head, which provided a thirty percent boost to his fire energy, combusted almost instantly. A radiant golden-red glow engulfed the fire dragon and erupted outward. The searing flames merged with Tang Mohuang's own fire energy, forming a massive dragon-shaped pillar of fire that collided head-on with the descending sword light, unleashing a dazzling explosion of light and destructive force.
With this, no doubt remained that Tang Mohuang had revealed all his trump cards. He had used the freshly obtained Everblaze Sunflower as a one-time consumable, activating the domain power of the Scorching Sunflowers and fusing it with his own, generating even greater might.
He would never have done such a thing unless forced. The waste was immense. If he had used the Everblaze Sunflower slowly, over a long period of time, he had a real chance of awakening the Blazing Sun Domain, and fusing it with his own Lava Domain would have taken his cultivation to a higher level.
But with the Battle for the Throne on the line—and, more importantly, his very life at stake—Tang Mohuang had no room left for hesitation.
