Chapter 447: Destruction

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Thousand Rock Lord? I see you have possessed the rock!"

Fang Yuan’s body shook and started to grow in size. His spiritual arena started to spread and his body remained in mid-air as he glared at the rock giant.

Needless to say, this was the last-ditch attempt at preserving his own life.

Everyone knew that legendary animals like the dragons and phoenixes would have a long lifespan.

The Sea Dragon King did not hide in any secret place. He merely went into hibernation and had successfully woken up after a thousand years.

However, the beings of elements would live even longer than these legendary animals.

To these beings, a few tens of thousands of years would past in the blink of an eye. They only required the support of the element to be able to live on forever.

The only catch was that such beings were extremely rare in this realm, even rarer than dragons.

The Thousand Rock Lord was fortunate enough to have detected the life in this rock and successfully possessed it.

However, everything was understandable. After all, the Thousand Rock Lord was a true ancestor and was even more senior than Xing Hezi. If he did not possess the rock, he would not have been able to live until now.

"How does it feel like to become a rock? It’s terrible, isn’t it?"

Fang Yuan started to mock the rock giant.

After all, it was different from normal legendary beings. By having a life like the elements, the Thousand Rock Lord now had to live a life different from humans, and could no longer have the sense of touch.

Even the strongest-willed cultivators would be tormented under such an experience.

"You’re courting death!"

The Thousand Rock Lord was enraged.

As he roared, a rough-looking face appeared and a pair of ferocious rock eyes glared towards Fang Yuan. With the wave of its hands, a 10-ton rock started to smash down.

"Break!"

Fang Yuan slicked his finger out as though it was a sword.

A flash of sword radiance flickered!

This sword radiance was not strong. However, as soon as it came into contact with the rock, it started to fill up the cracks in the rock before slicing it into two neat pieces.

This was neither the fastest strike not the strongest strike, it was merely just right!

"Great swordplay!"

Even the Thousand Rock Lord praised Fang Yuan for his techniques. "With such skills, even without spells, you could already be the most highly-skilled martial artist in the word! Who are you?"

The sword technique appeared simple but was sophisticated in its own ways and was the product of years of experience. It could not be simply understood by the average person.

The only possibility was that this person had stored wisdom!

"Possessor? Or are you a demon from another world?"

Possessors were highly-skilled natives who had reincarnated into another form, while a demon from another world simply meant that this person would be the enemy of the entire world!

"Regardless of who I am, is there really any difference?"

Fang Yuan scoffed. "Either way, you are going to die today!"

"You don’t know what you’re saying!"

The Thousand Rock Lord remained composed. Suddenly, all the eyes on its body started to shine as though they had all come alive at once. With that, they were then shut at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, as the Thousand Rock Eyes opened, golden rays started to fill the entire place.

"Rumble!"

Fang Yuan waved and streaks of flames appeared. As the flames came into contact with the golden rays, they froze for a while before solidifying and turning grey. The solidified rocks fell from mid-air and shattered as they smashed onto the ground.

"Is this... Rock Transforming Glow? The potential of this rock is indeed great... unimaginable!"

After all, this world was still a world with strict laws of physics. Even though the spiritual energy might increase, it would still only be for a short period of time. Technological advances could do little to make the elements last longer.

Fang Yuan could not imagine how such a powerful rock giant could have come to life in the past.

Of course, a more pressing issue would be the ever-growing golden glow.

"Spiritualise!"

With his spiritual will, Fang Yuan became an illusionary shadow.

"Whoosh!"

The Rock Transforming Glow pierced through the flames and landed on Fang Yuan’s body. It froze for a moment before illuminated straight through.

"The spiritualisation of my body is a type of transformation to become an element. According to the people from the East, this is the combination of nature and man... Compared to my short moment of spiritualisation, the Thousand Rock Lord is constantly part of nature. If I allow it to grow stronger and restore its powers, the consequences are unimaginable."

Fang Yuan froze in mid-air and appeared serious.

The purpose of his visit was to kill and loot.

However, the discovery of the Thousand Year Rock was indeed a huge problem for Fang Yuan.

"If it already has so much power while it remains injured, would it be at the Divine Refining Grade at its peak?"

Fang Yuan’s expression as he started to speak to the rock giant. "Who would’ve thought that a Divine Refining Grade powerful being had to abandon his body to become such a dumb thing? If you let your enemy know about this, I think he would be extremely shocked!"

"Who are you? Who are you exactly?"

The Thousand Rock Lord glared at Fang Yuan. It was as though its glare could burn through anything and was enough to give anyone the shivers.

"I am Fang Yuan. You should have died long ago. Why are you still trying to pathetically survive until today?"

Amidst his own laughter, Fang Yuan stretched out his hand. "Nine days of lightning, Hear my command! Strike!"

"Rippppp!"

Streaks of lightning started to dance in the sky. Suddenly, they came together and took up the shape of a majestic-looking lightning dragon which flew down.

With a huge destructive force, the lightning struck mercilessly on the rock giant.

"Pa! Pa!"

Rock eyes started to explode one by one and terrifying screams were heard.

The Thousand Rock Lord took a few steps back and his face was filled with disbelief. "Lightning? How can you control the lightning in my territory?"

"Even though this place might be built by you, it is not your area and therefore, you have no control over its power!"

Fang Yuan stretched out both his hands. "Come here, lightning!"

"Ripppp!"

9 lightning dragons appeared in the sky and fused together to form an elaborate array.

"I have an array here. It is cast after years of experimentation. If you can survive under it, I shall let you off today!"

The 9 Dragons Lightning Array isolated the Thousand Eyed Giant in it. After hearing Fang Yuan’s voice, the Thousand Rock Lord’s expression changed and he became panicky. "Five Elements Burrow, protect me!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

Even though the Thousand Rock Lord had been severely injured, it was still ultimately the owner of this place.

Together with the traits of a rock, it was a simple task for it to harness the energy from the rocks around.

Within moments, four walls emerged from the ground, forming an extremely strong defence which protected the Thousand Rock Lord in it.

This defensive layer was connected to the earth and was not only impregnable but could also be repaired within moments by absorbing energy from the ground. The only way to break through the defensive wall was to strip up the entire piece of land.

"You’re a reckless boy. I would like to see how you will die later on!"

Thousand Rock Lord hollered.

However, in the next moment, it turned silent as though its neck was being gripped.

"Strike!"

Together with the activation of the 9 Dragons Lightning Array, an invisible force started to spread across the place.

"Buzz!"

A white glow flashed across and the strong force exploded. Although it was not a strong explosion, any wall, element or even spiritual energy disintegrated into nothing after coming into contact with it.

"Whooosh!"

Amidst the explosion, the rock wall crumbled, revealing a shocked Thousand Rock Lord.

In the next moment, the 9 lightning dragons started to roar and rush towards it.

"Rippppp!"

The lightning streaks exploded and cracks appeared on the giant’s body, with the glow of lightning seeping out from these cracks.

"This is... the power of an area..."

The Thousand Rock Lord screamed. "No! I’m not convinced! This is not possible..."

This voice became softer and softer. Finally, there was silence.

Amidst a thick black smoke, pieces of rocks started to fall off the rock giant and the original size of the giant was slowly reduced.

"Destruction from the 9 Dragons Lightning Array! It seems like the effect is not too bad, isn’t it?"

Witnessing this scene, Fang Yuan snickered. "It is relatively powerful to be used in combat."

Initially, with the protection of the land, the Thousand Rock Lord would not have been so easily defeated.

However, Fang Yuan was not stupid. He started off with his killer move to chase away the spiritual droplets in the vicinity and thereby cutting off the support the Thousand Rock Lord would otherwise receive from the land. With that, he could deliver his strongest blow and the Thousand Rock Lord would have to receive the blow without any preparation.

Such an array with the ability to chase away spiritual droplets was developed after studying Angel’s special ability.

Although her ability was only as powerful as a 3rd Tier mutant, Fang Yuan had complemented it with an array, allowing it to even affect a being with the power of the arena.

"Of course... it still has its limitations! Firstly, it is still unable to affect all special abilities. I had intentionally tweaked it to target ground-type abilities just now and supplemented it with lightning. Since lightning is able to counter earth, I managed to successfully pull it off just now..."

"Also, as a cultivator with a special ability that relies on spiritual droplets in nature, considering the ability of the Thousand Rock Lord, if not for the fact that it was over-confident in its own defence, it could easily have avoided death if it remained alert, like how I did it before... Of course, this might be due to the fact that he had abandoned his human body!"

If the Thousand Rock Lord was still a human cultivator, Angel’s special ability might not have affected it that much.

However, it was now an incarnated being of element. Although it could now live for an extremely long time and was strengthened with the properties of rock, it had now become dependant on nature for its powers and therefore, it would be much more affected.

"Rumble!"

It was as though the sky was falling to the ground and the mountains were crashing down.

A huge rock giant turned into powder after Fang Yuan’s attack and as it fell to the ground, there was a mini earthquake.

From the tremor, a faint golden glow flickered before disappearing.

"Whoosh!"

As thunder roared, Fang Yun quickly made his way towards the glow and stretched his hands out. With that, a golden crystal landed in his hands.

"How dare you run!"

Looking at the human face in the crystal, Fang Yuan laughed.

After their encounter, how could Fang Yuan let the Thousand Rock Lord leave so simply?

"Ah... this is impossible. I am a Fate Soul and have a lot of fate energy. How can I die here?"

Within the crystal, the face of Thousand Rock Lord started to scream. "I don’t believe this! I don’t believe it at all! The souls of the other worlds, I offer myself as sacrifice... Please enter!!!"
