Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 544: Crystallization!
BOOM!
Ye Yun’s eyes were as cold as ice, like a Demon God descended upon the earth. He wielded his Vajra Hammer, proving unstoppable and wreaking havoc in all directions.
With a single forceful slam, he sent the Black Dragon flying.
His speed was simply astonishing!
Even this Black Dragon before him, a cultivator in the Divine Sovereign Realm, could not compare to Ye Yun, who was at the Six Layers of the God Monarch Realm.
After all, Ye Yun possessed the Ancestral Dragon Body.
While there was still a gap compared to the true Ancestral Dragon Body of Ancient Times, his current form far surpassed this Black Dragon King, which was merely in the Divine King Realm.
Ye Yun’s current Ancestral Dragon Body was now even marginally stronger than those of the legendary Ten Super Divine Dragons.
Although he had said he would kill this Black Dragon, it had just been a spur-of-the-moment threat.
However, this Black Dragon had once been one of the Black Dragon Kings. He absolutely could not bring himself to kill it.
That said, this Black Dragon had lost its true self, so Ye Yun naturally had to teach it a lesson it would not forget.
SPURT! SPURT! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The Black Dragon coughed up mouthfuls of blood, its massive draconic body swaying precariously in mid-air.
How can he be so strong?
The Black Dragon stared at Ye Yun in disbelief, his strength utterly beyond its comprehension.
This Divine Soil Spirit had exceeded its understanding.
"I am very curious, what exactly happened to you that you became a Ghost Beast?" Ye Yun asked, his face an icy mask, as he strode through the void towards it.
At these words, a complex emotion flashed through the Black Dragon’s eyes. It roared, "You wretched Spirit! I will kill you today!"
At this moment, the Black Dragon’s eyes bulged, and its body started to tremble violently. Its aura surged dramatically. After several convulsions, its cultivation base abruptly elevated from the First Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm to the Fifth Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm!
What is this...
Ye Yun’s pupils contracted slightly, a flicker of shock passing through his eyes.
He had distinctly felt this Black Dragon employ some special Cultivation Technique, breaking through the limitations of this Miniature World once again.
This special Cultivation Technique seemed to have an intimate connection with this Miniature World.
It was as if it had hacked the system.
With its cultivation base boosted, the Black Dragon breathed heavily. Its eyes were blood-red, and its scales gleamed with a cold light. Its body clearly struggled under the immense strain of this state.
Having broken through to the Fifth Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm, the Black Dragon unleashed an even more formidable pressure, which surged towards Ye Yun like a tidal wave.
Under this immense pressure, the surrounding mountains creaked and groaned, sinking deeper into the earth.
"How could we of the Dark Divine Dragon Clan lose to a mere Divine Soil Spirit!" the Black Dragon roared, its voice low and seething with fury. Its eyes were mercilessly cold, its entire body covered in scales that shimmered with a frosty gleam.
"If I’m not mistaken, you must be one of the Black Dragon Kings, right?" Ye Yun asked calmly.
"How... How do you know?"
Utter disbelief filled the Black Dragon’s eyes.
This Divine Soil Spirit had already given it too many shocks. It even knew its identity as a Black Dragon King!
This person cannot remain alive!
This thought flashed through the Black Dragon’s mind as it let out a violent roar, spewing a vast torrent of black light.
This was the Dark Dragon Breath.
The churning Dark Dragon Breath surged forth like a tidal wave. All surrounding mountains caught in its path were instantaneously pulverized by the aftershock.
This alone demonstrated the terrifying ferocity and violence of the Dark Dragon Breath.
"Break!"
Ye Yun, wielding the Vajra Hammer, radiated an intense light. He met the Dark Dragon Breath head-on, cleaved it in two, and charged forward once more.
Seeing Ye Yun’s ferocity, a shudder ran through the Black Dragon’s heart.
This Divine Soil Spirit is terrifyingly powerful!
In all its long ages of existence, it had never encountered such a formidable Spirit.
It was currently at the Fifth Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm and possessed the formidable physique of the Dragon Clan. Its opponent, however, was merely at the Six Layers of the God Monarch Realm. Despite such a vast disparity in their cultivation realms, it was struggling to defeat him.
This is simply unbelievable!
"Kill!"
Seeing Ye Yun attack, the Black Dragon lunged again, extending its huge dragon claw.
BOOM!
The Vajra Hammer collided with the dragon claw, producing a thunderous crash.
Countless mountains in the surrounding area were leveled by the enormous shockwave.
The few Ghost Beasts that failed to escape in time were obliterated by the shockwave.
The few humanoid Ghost Beasts, however, had wisely retreated from the battlefield much earlier and were now observing the fight from a safe distance in mid-air.
A streak of black light shot through the air, blood streaming from it incessantly.
The Black Dragon was once again sent flying by Ye Yun.
This time, Ye Yun showed no mercy, inflicting even graver injuries upon it.
As the Black Dragon fell back, Ye Yun pursued relentlessly, raising the Vajra Hammer and striking its body repeatedly.
BOOM! BOOM!
The continuous assault left the Black Dragon on the brink of death. No longer able to remain airborne, it plummeted to the ground.
Its massive body shattered untold mountains and rivers upon impact.
A Divine Soil Spirit... how can one be this strong?
As it lay on the ground, covered in blood, this thought reverberated through the Black Dragon’s mind.
Witnessing the Black Dragon’s defeat, the other Ghost Beasts were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Ye Yun paid no heed to the fleeing Ghost Beasts, instead landing beside the fallen Black Dragon.
"Black Dragon King, how did you enter the Ancient Star Tomb back then?" Ye Yun asked coolly, hands clasped behind his back as he looked down upon it.
"Insignificant Divine Soil Spirit! Do not even attempt to extract any information from me! Our Dragon Clan holds an irreconcilable grudge against you Divine Soil Spirits!" the Black Dragon suddenly roared, its eyes snapping open, its voice laced with impotent fury.
No sooner had it finished speaking than its body began to undergo a strange transformation.
Starting from its heart, a layer of black crystal rapidly enveloped its entire form.
Within the span of a mere one or two breaths, the Black Dragon, alive only moments before, had transformed into a black, dragon-shaped statue.
Huh, what kind of Divine Skill is this?
Ye Yun, filled with curiosity, landed again and reached out to touch the crystalline black dragon body.
It felt cold to the touch.
There was no sign of life.
It was as if, in that instant, the Black Dragon had utterly perished.
Ye Yun’s expression turned somewhat gloomy, though his eyes betrayed a hint of helplessness.
He had originally intended to subdue this Black Dragon. He hadn’t expected it to commit suicide using some Divine Skill, transforming into this bizarre black crystal statue.
Could this Divine Skill be one that the Black Dragon King additionally mastered within the Ancient Star Tomb? Ye Yun wondered, his eyes twinkling as he mused to himself.
At this thought, Ye Yun waved his hand. A flash of light appeared in mid-air. A man in a black robe immediately materialized and knelt, shouting fervently, "Greetings, Lord Ancestor Dragon!"
"Take a look," Ye Yun said softly, gesturing towards the crystallized Black Dragon. "Is this one of your former comrades?"
This black-robed man was the Black Dragon King Ye Yun had subdued in the Yoga Master Palace.
He stared intently at the crystal-encased Black Dragon. His expression underwent a dramatic change, his eyes filling with utter disbelief.
"Reporting to Lord Ancestor Dragon, this is the Eighth Black Dragon King!" the black-robed man exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement.
He had never dreamed he would one day see another of the Black Dragon Kings.
I see now...
Ye Yun let out a soft sigh.
With the black-robed man’s confirmation, the true identity of this Black Dragon was finally verified.
It was indeed one of the Eight Great Black Dragon Kings.
