The crystal-clear, petite dragon claw, neither flinching nor dodging, met the sky-shattering giant hand head-on!
The eternally frozen, azure ice layer suddenly erupted with countless cracks, and the wind and snow within a hundred-mile radius were swept away by the impact!
Boom!!
The magnificent crimson giant plummeted to the ground with a heavy thud!
The scattered wind and snow, along with the kicked-up ice shards, obscured the world.
"Hahahaha!!"
Amidst the violently splashing dust, the Dragon Girl's sinister, wild laughter was unmistakably clear.
Whoosh!!
Another crimson giant hand, wielding a colossal spear forged from flame, pierced through the dust!
At the tip of this thousand-meter spear was an ice-blue figure, roaring with laughter!
The sharp spearhead, imbued with power capable of shattering mountains, fiercely assaulted the minuscule figure.
But at the spear's tip, the ice-blue figure, struck head-on, continued to laugh with utter abandon:
"Too strong!! Human!! You've only just entered True Transformation now!"
"In the Abyss, I declare you the strongest!!"
From the spear tip, sharp power continuously surged, yet it could not harm the ice-blue figure in the slightest.
The terrifying impact force was easily neutralized by an inexplicable transfer of power. xxs1
The ice-blue figure, however, closed her eyes, as if savoring something.
And with her wild laughter, the entire world seemed to respond, trembling.
Whoosh!!
The giant rose from the dust, the gale scattering the ice fragments.
The crimson giant, identical in appearance to Chen Luo, bore intricate and profound demonic patterns etched across its body.
Behind it, two halos, one red and one blue, spun silently, while a pair of wings, one light and one dark, gently fluttered.
Chen Luo, in his True Transformation state, wielded the spear in his right hand, parrying Frostbite's arrogance.
His left hand, which had delivered the earlier punch, had vanished entirely.
The giant gazed at the tiny figure at the spear tip, his eyes filled with solemnity.
In that instant, had he not activated True Transformation, he would have been dead.
The Ice Dragon's danger level had escalated dramatically after its humanization.
And upon entering this world of ice and snow, it had reached a realm Chen Luo could not even estimate.
True Transformation was Chen Luo's greatest trump card. In this state, all his talents and skills were subtly merged.
This was his strongest combat state as a denizen of the Abyss.
And the outcome of clashing with Frostbite's arrogance in this state was the complete disappearance of his left arm.
In that moment, Chen Luo felt as if he were clashing with the entire world.
Vast amounts of energy continuously extended from the severed limb, and the colossal arm regenerated.
But Chen Luo's eyes never left the Dragon Girl, who stood with closed eyes at the spear tip.
The moment Chen Luo's arm healed, the Dragon Girl slowly opened her eyes.
Her dark golden dragon pupils had now completely turned ice-blue.
A sense of lofty indifference slowly spread from these ice-blue dragon eyes.
"Feel the world's wrath... Human..."
Hum!
The thrusting flame spear suddenly halted in mid-air.
At the tip of the enormous spear, the tiny Dragon Girl stood suspended.
She slowly raised her arm, her fair palm pressing against the spear tip.
In this moment, the Dragon Girl seemed to become the embodiment of heaven and earth.
Her pink lips parted slightly:
"Shatter!"
Bang!!!
An irresistible force surged from the spear tip, spreading instantly.
This divine spear, forged from the starlight flame, did not even hold for a moment before countless massive cracks appeared.
Chen Luo's expression changed, and he quickly released his left hand. The instant he let go, the cracks spread to the spear's tail.
The entire flame divine spear was on the verge of complete disintegration!
This Dragon Girl had shattered Chen Luo's weapon with a single word!
But Chen Luo did not choose to let go so easily!
"Explode for me!!"
In an instant, Chen Luo withdrew his will that solidified the starlight flame. The flames that constituted the divine spear, no longer suppressed, instantly transformed into a surging, erupting inferno!
Endless flames, with a ferocious and malevolent guise, devoured everything within their reach.
This flame, constructed from an SSS-class rare skill, was theoretically capable of devouring all energy, even souls!
But there was no ripple of emotion in the Dragon Girl's eyes. She didn't even spare a second glance at the spreading flames:
"Human! Do you know what a Domain is?"
Hum!
The Dragon Girl, standing in the air, slowly extended her slender, beautiful legs.
The tip of her dragon-scaled boot directly stomped upon the encroaching starlight flame.
But the ferocious, malevolent flames abruptly froze beneath the Dragon Girl's feet!
An ice-blue radiance spread from beneath the Dragon Girl's feet. This surging SSS-class flame was actually frozen solid in ice!
Tap... tap....
The Dragon Girl walked slowly across the solidified river of flame.
With each step she took, Chen Luo felt his heartbeat grow heavier.
Despite being in such a minuscule state, and despite Chen Luo having entered True Transformation,
Chen Luo felt a pressure far more terrifying than facing a mountain-sized dragon.
He felt as if he were staring directly into the entire world.
Tap...
At some point, the Dragon Girl, now in human form, had stepped across the icy river of flame and arrived before Chen Luo.
She looked up, admiring the magnificent giant before her, filled with power and beauty.
"You are very good."
"The form of True Transformation originates from the heart. Compared to those hideous undead, your heart is far purer."
"Even the power possessed by my naturally True-Transformed dragon form might not match your current True Transformation power."
"Chen Luo, is it? I remember your name."
"You are the strongest existence I have encountered in the Abyss in countless ages."
The snow fell even harder. Chen Luo wanted to speak, but found that his power, capable of moving mountains and seas, was utterly unable to muster.
A chilling sensation surged from the depths of his soul.
With a fair palm gently pressed against the giant's sturdy chest, the Dragon Girl's eyes, beneath their indifference, held a hint of sigh:
"You are strong, but without a Domain, you are but an ant."
"Before the power of the world, your defeat is not unjust..."
The Dragon Girl's voice grew distant.
The soul-deep chill made Chen Luo's consciousness sluggish.
"Abyss dwellers, by merging spirit and energy, and using will and mind as an anchor, can construct True Transformation."
"But this is the limit of individual strength."
"In the face of the endless void, there are far more powerful monsters."
"Embrace the void! Engraving your unique mark is the Domain!"
As she spoke, the indifferent color gradually faded from the Dragon Girl's eyes.
She tilted her head, gazing at Chen Luo, who had, at some unknown time, been completely encased in ice, and sighed softly:
"In the end... you still didn't break through?"
"Never mind. Chen Luo, I will remember your name until the day I too step into nothingness."
The Dragon Girl turned away, no longer looking at the youth who had brought her pleasure, but gazing into the endless wind and snow, a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
Thump...
A heartbeat, suddenly, sounded behind her.
