Chen Luo gazed at the brilliant pillar of elemental light before him, his expression remarkably calm.
The pillar had engulfed the great dragon for a long time,
So long that the vital energy and spirit Chen Luo had enhanced with his First and Second Arts had completely stabilized.
At this moment, Chen Luo felt more powerful than ever before.
Under Chen Luo's control, the pillar of elemental light before him obscured the heavens and earth.
Every moment, it relentlessly unleashed power capable of destroying all things.
After the initial explosion, the beautiful radiance had transformed into silent danger.
However, Chen Luo's brow gradually furrowed.
Until, a roar echoed:
"Enough!! How long do you intend to continue?!"
This vast expanse of blue ice field was a battlefield specially reinforced by Frostmourne.
Upon the ice surface, as smooth as a mirror, there was no wind and no snow.
Beside the silent pillar of light, Chen Luo's roar was so loud and piercing.
Yet, the content was incomprehensible.
Continue? Who was he allowing? This single strike of elemental fusion, in the old world, would have been enough to turn a continent into a dead land.
Even though the ascended world's resilience had increased exponentially, if Chen Luo had not condensed his power and instead directly unleashed this elemental torrent, it would have been enough to blast a peninsula into the seabed.
And the condensation at this moment further increased its destructive force!
Nothing in the material world could withstand its power!
But in the next moment, laughter emerged from the silent elemental torrent:
"Human, I am not letting you, nor do I intend to humiliate you. I am merely sensing your strength."
Whoosh!
The elemental torrent was abruptly parted by immense force,
A majestic dragon head, as if carved from the finest crystal, emerged directly from the destructive torrent of power, looking towards Chen Luo.
Within its dragon eyes, as vast as a lake, there was a hint of joy:
"It has been so long, the feeling of pain! This sense of being truly alive!"
The elemental torrent was not entirely ineffective. Although the dragon's body had gradually transcended the confines of the material world, under the continuous impact, cracks had appeared on its crystal-like head.
But compared to its mountain-sized body, these small cracks were less than a drop in the ocean.
Even as it spoke, these cracks had completely healed.
This was a true monster. Chen Luo could not imagine why a nuclear explosion on the first day of the apocalypse would make it roar.
But Chen Luo knew, today, only one of them could survive.
"Then, it is my turn, Frosty Claw!"
The instant the dragon's words sounded, Chen Luo's heart was struck with a chilling alarm.
Hum!
The air was torn into a dark void, and light itself seemed to distort slightly under the power and speed of the giant claw.
The dragon claw, the size of a great mountain, descended from the sky towards Chen Luo!
The aura of death had never been so clear, yet Chen Luo found himself unable to move an inch.
Space, at this moment, seemed to be frozen by an unknown power.
The vital energy martial armor vibrated fiercely, and dark cracks faintly appeared around Chen Luo.
The moment the dragon claw was unleashed, the dragon had actually frozen the space around Chen Luo with its frost power!
It had already subtly surpassed the mortal realm!
Its frost could freeze flames, and even completely freeze space!
Chen Luo was like an insect frozen in amber, unable to move at all!
No! He was not entirely without the power to resist! Power capable of shaking mountains was condensed within his small body.
His struggles even caused cracks to appear in the surrounding frozen space!
But, it was too late!
Boom!!!
"Human! Don't die so easily!!"
The immense, boundless force descended with a roar.
Even Starfire City, a hundred miles away, trembled violently!
The frozen space, along with Chen Luo, was directly struck by Frostmourne with an irresistible, colossal force.
From the swirling ice dust, the dragon slowly retracted its claw. Looking at the blood on its claw tip, a hint of disappointment flashed in Frostmourne's eyes:
"Is this the end?"
Bang!!
A crisp cracking sound echoed from the ice dust below. A fierce gust of wind suddenly erupted from within the ice dust, scattering it.
Chen Luo lowered his head, his hands clasped together above his head, standing on the ground.
The gust of wind just now was the impact generated by his clasped hands.
Drip... drip...
Heavy, jade-like crimson blood slowly dripped down.
The luxurious vital energy martial armor on Chen Luo's body was more than half shattered.
But he himself was still standing.
A flicker of unexpected joy appeared in the dragon's eyes:
"This is how it should be! Come on!! Unleash more of your power!! Satisfy me more!!!"
"Human!!!"
Chen Luo slowly raised his head, blood flowing down his cheeks. In that instant, if his vital energy martial armor had not absorbed ninety-nine percent of the damage, he would likely have been instantly obliterated.
But after enduring such a terrifying attack, there was no fear in Chen Luo's eyes!
The essence of the vital energy martial path was to battle against heaven and earth! If Chen Luo did not fear heaven and earth, how could he fear this mountain-like monster!
"Satisfy me? I am not your toy!! Frostmourne!!!"
Bang!
The ground split open with huge cracks. Chen Luo used the force to leap towards the bowing dragon!
The shattered vital energy martial armor responded to Chen Luo's fighting spirit and instantly reformed!
Vital energy madly wove new armor!
Lacking three parts of its previous luxury! Possessing seven parts more unbridled freedom! Chen Luo's aura surged once more!
"Fifth Art! Primordial Darkness!"
The combination of all curse and negative skills formed the foundation of the Fifth Art. As Chen Luo's voice sounded, a dark wing suddenly extended from his left side behind him!
Within each dark feather lay an SSS-class curse. As this wing flapped, a torrent of negative skills was unleashed towards Frostmourne.
Under the illumination of endless darkness, Frostmourne's crystal-like body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom.
"Sixth Art! Radiant Light!"
The combination of all enhancement and purification skills formed the foundation of the Sixth Art. As Chen Luo's voice sounded, a pure white wing suddenly extended from his right side behind him!
Within each pure white feather lay an SSS-class blessing. As this wing flapped, a torrent of blessing skills was applied to Chen Luo himself.
Under the illumination of endless holy light, all of Chen Luo's injuries instantly healed, and his spirit, energy, and mind ascended to another peak!
A flicker of fighting spirit flashed in the dragon's eyes.
The mountain-like dragon claw once again swooped towards Chen Luo!
Chen Luo felt the surrounding space about to freeze solid in the next instant!
But, one instant was enough for Chen Luo to react!
The same move! It would not work on Chen Luo!!
"Fourth Art! Unrivaled! Supreme Martial Path!!!"
"Break for me!!!"
