Chapter 6509 Purge
“Break!”
Seeing Guo Ran enter a state of absolute defense with the Hidden Dragon Shield, Jin Mingyao felt challenged. He roared and smashed the Endless Staff down with all his might.
BOOM!
A heaven-shaking explosion once more erupted. To everyone’s shock, even with ten of its seals undone, the Golden Endless Staff could not break Guo Ran’s shield. The sight froze every spectator. How could that golden shield be so durable?
“I refuse to believe I can’t break this tortoise shell of yours!” shouted Jin Mingyao.
In his berserk state, he repeatedly struck the shield, every attack causing the world to shake. It felt as if the world was about to burst. Still, the Hidden Dragon Shield did not so much as flinch.
“Golden Blood Ignition, Invincible Golden Body!” Jin Mingyao roared.
Golden blood flowed outside of his body and enveloped him in golden runes. He was like a golden divine statue, and the essence rune on his forehead burned frantically.
“Lord Mingyao!” The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkeys cried out in horror.
The Invincible Golden Body was one of their race’s strongest divine abilities, and only those with the noblest emperor bloodline could use it. It could stimulate and draw out the full potential of its user. In fact, it was possible to overdraft that potential in exchange for unmatched power.
However, if the user drew out too much power, they would enter a weakened state for a long time. If they pushed it even more, then their foundation would become unstable.
In Jin Mingyao’s case, he was already burning his essence rune. In the worst-case, he would never be able to make any further breakthroughs. That would be a tragedy for their race.
After all, Jin Mingyao was their greatest heavenly genius and carried the fate of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race on his shoulders. Otherwise, their legacy Divine Sovereign magical item wouldn’t be in his hand.
However, Jin Mingyao had lost his sanity. He had to kill Guo Ran at all costs.
BOOM!
The Endless Staff radiated golden light as it struck the Hidden Dragon Shield once more. The void beneath Guo Ran cracked. He carved grooves through the air, trying to steady himself, but the backlash drove him miles backward.
Previously, Jin Mingyao had not been able to do anything to Guo Ran. But the moment he took out the Invincible Golden Body, he could crush Guo Ran in terms of brute force.
“Die!” Jin Mingyao roared, chasing after Guo Ran.
He couldn’t use the Invincible Golden Body for too long, as the aftereffects would only worsen with time. He had to end it soon.
“Hidden Dragon Blood Ignition, Dragon Blood Battle Armor!”
Guo Ran’s voice rang out like a dragon’s cry, shaking the heavens. Blood-colored runes flared across the hidden dragon behind him, blooming over his real armor like fiery blossoms. With shield in hand, he turned defense into offense, striking at the so-called invincible Jin Mingyao.
This was truly a world-shaking clash. In the blink of an eye, Guo Ran and Jin Mingyao had exchanged almost a hundred blows.
Guo Ran’s battle armor runes burned with such intensity that the void itself twisted chaotically. Shield in one hand, golden saber in the other, he moved like lightning incarnate. In terms of power, Guo Ran did not fear Jin Mingyao. However, the Endless Staff in Jin Mingyao’s hand was a major threat. It was the only thing capable of suppressing Guo Ran.
During the exchange, Guo Ran’s golden saber would occasionally slither through the air, and it was sharp enough to force Jin Mingyao on the defensive, even in his Invincible Golden Body. He was no longer able to attack as freely.
The two were like entwined lightning bolts, moving so fast the eyes of normal experts could barely follow. Neither could dominate the other.
“Monster... an absolute monster,” murmured a stunned observer. “This is like fighting across realms, yet Guo Ran isn’t at a disadvantage!”
Guo Ran’s essence rune was far from complete, still in its embryonic form. And yet, here he was, fighting toe-to-toe with a half-step Sovereign Lord wielding a legacy Divine Sovereign magical item. The scene left every spectator breathless.
“Damn, how can he be this powerful!?” shouted one of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkeys.
Now, they were like ants on a hot plate. By overdrafting his potential for greater power, Jin Mingyao was risking his future. One wrong move could cripple him for life.
Just as Jin Mingyao and Guo Ran were fighting evenly, a black spear appeared before all spectators, slicing the air with Sovereign might and law power that twisted the heavens black.
“Another legacy Divine Sovereign magical item!”
Shock rippled through the crowd.
At this moment, dark qi filled the sky, and a sinister dragon aura swelled around the spear.
“Long Chen, thank you for crushing the Sovereign King Dragon Crown. My Netherdragon race has obtained so much of the dragon race’s karmic luck. To thank you, I, Netherdragon Tianshao, will slaughter your Dragonblood Legion, haha!”
A man in black robes appeared, radiating a dense death qi from his body and spear.
An army of Netherdragons came out of the shattered space behind him. They were like a black flood, their numbers exceeding even the initial might of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkeys.
“Kill!”
Netherdragon Tianshao waved his spear, leading the army of the Netherdragon race toward the rear of the Dragonblood Legion.
Left with no other choice, Gu Yang and the others immediately rushed back to face Netherdragon Tianshao.
BOOM!
Before they could reach him, a golden halberd clashed with Netherdragon Tianshao’s black spear. Another legacy Divine Sovereign magical item had appeared.
“If you want to touch the king of the dragon race, you’ll have to get past us. Traitors of the dragon race, your arrogance knows no bounds,” a voice rang out.
Di Mengyao appeared in front of the Netherdragon race. She held the Heavenly Dragon Battle Halberd in her right hand and a dragon shield in her left. Behind her were Hai Mingkong, Xue Tu, Qing Yi, and the other heavenly geniuses of the dragon race. Tens of thousands of dragon experts stood behind them, all of them boiling with killing intent.
Though lacking numerical superiority, these tens of thousands of dragon experts were true experts with frightening auras. After all, they had experienced countless life-and-death trials in Long Chen’s Seven Treasure Space. As fighters who had defeated hundreds in their own realm, they were the true paragons of the dragon race.
The moment they appeared, their killing intent caused the millions of Netherdragon experts to shiver in fright.
“Warriors of the dragon race, it’s time for a purge! Kill them all!” Di Mengyao bellowed.
As she raised her golden shield, its light enveloped everyone on her side.
“Kill!”
Buffed by this sacred light, the dragon race’s warriors let out heaven-shaking killing roars and charged at the Netherdragon race.
