Chapter 326: Blue Dragon
The battle turned. Abbotess Liangs tactic was effective and Chen Wentian was now the one suffering more and more. Despite being powered up by the ignition of a Spirit Lord, he was being beaten up continuously. His blue dragon flames were still doing damage but he was suffering a disproportionate amount in return. He was losing and both of them knew it.
The difference between one whole realm was not something that could easily be surpassed, even with the Anatta Soul Nirvana Art and the Flames of the Arcadian Sky. A Spirit Kings body was many times more resilient; it was like comparing a slab of steel to a block of wood. Blue dragon flames could incinerate a Spirit Kings skin and scorch their muscles and tendons but that was the limit. It had difficult reaching further inside to harm her organs and her core. Even in her current wounded state, if she had access to plenty of medicine, she would be able to make a respectable recovery given enough time.
Chen Wentian had no such luxury. He could not keep sacrificing his own body. He was a Spirit Lord, one that did not really train his body. Already, his bones were starting to crack and his inner organs were bleeding heavily. He couldnt let the situation continue like this or else he could really die.
Boom!
He crashed into the ground for what seemed like the hundredth time. The crater he created overlapped against countless others that were also caused by him.
He groaned painfully and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shit this crazy bitch
He looked up at Abbotess Liang zooming around for another attack. He had to admit that she wasnt dumb. Utilizing her purple cloth art expended too much spiritual energy and wasn't effective against his divine flames. Instead, using purely physical might conserved her paltry remaining energy and gave her the advantage.
However, he could also use her strategy against her.
Alright, lets play.
He folded his hands together and summoned the power of his secret art. Within his soul space, where there used to be two human immortal souls now resided one. The first soul, Immortal Berserk Ox Ji Tiangu, had already been expended fully. Now, it was the other ones turn.
Annihilating Soul Ignition!
Rays of light pierced Immortal Thousand Owl Zhou Tongpu and his soul was turned into pure spiritual energy.
The energy overflowed out of the soul realm and into Chen Wentians tired body. His upper, middle, and lower dantians had been almost empty but they were now fully replenished. He was once again filled with an unreasonable amount of power that far surpassed an ordinary Spirit Lord.
A cocoon of blue flame surrounded him and his body began to quickly change. His clothes burned away, revealing a skin that was no longer human. It was now made up of tiny blue scales that glistened and shined. A row of white ridges erupted along his spine while out of his tail bone grew a thin, muscular tail. At the same time, his hands and feet expanded to twice their size and grew sharp white claws.
As for his face, it became noticeably dragon-like. His hair turned from black to a midnight blue, becoming a wild, flowing mane that extended down to his jaw. His upper lip which was usually clean-shaven now sported a long mustache, like a pair of whiskers that fluttered in the air around his face. And finally, two white horns sat atop his forehead, completing the partial beast transformation.
Abbotess Liang plunged toward him on a collision course. She didnt seem to have noticed his change or she didnt care.
Chen Wentian roared and blasted off the ground. He headed directly towards her in a direct challenge. Since she wanted to fight using raw physical power, he would do the same.
The two immortals careened towards each other. Neither had any intention to dodge. The distance closed in the blink of an eye and they smashed into each other.
Boom!
The collision caused a massive shockwave which flattened the surrounding area. In the aftermath, two figures floated in the midair, one noticeably farther away from the impact point.
The one who lost out in the exchange was Abbotess Liang and she couldnt believe it. Impossible! What kind of beast transformation is this? There is no way any kind of lizard transformation is this powerful!
Since you know who I am, you already know the answer. Chen Wentian retorted.
Abbotess Liang screamed incoherently and charged at him. He responded in kind with dragon claws extended.
They flew by each other, both landing blows on each others bodies. Chen Wentian suffered a kick across his scaled torso which blunted the damage. Abbotess Liang had so much defense and suffered a gruesome slash on her shoulder which flayed her flesh and sliced through bone.
Ahhhhh! Vile reptile, Ill kill you! She howled.
Come at me!
They continued to trade physical attacks and the battle quickly devolved into a bloody brawl. There was no fancy use of spiritual energy or secret arts. It was pure strength against pure strength, a wounded Spirit King against a blue dragon!
Chen Wentian was human but he was also a blue dragon. He had the soul of a blue dragon as well as its source of fire. This source of fire was the seed that gave him all the powers of a divine beast, it was its complete inheritance. In the whole world, he was perhaps the only person who could claim to have obtained the complete inheritance of a divine beast, from the complete blue dragon flame arts to the secrets of the blue dragon physique.
His dragon transformation wasnt any ordinary beast transformation art. He wasnt mimicking the aspects of a beast; he truly became the beast! He was now a divine beast, a blue dragon with unbreakable bones and tendons, muscles that could move mountains, and protective scales there were even stronger than treasure armors.
This transformation took a tremendous amount of spiritual energy so he couldnt use it normally. But powered by the Annihilating Soul Ignition, his current physique was a match for any Spirit King. Abbotess Liang, in her weakened condition, was far from a match!
Abbotess Liang saw defeat imminent. After being pummeled continuously, she gave up and tried to run. However, Chen Wentian wasnt going to let her escape. In his current state he was faster, he was stronger, he was tougher. He wasnt going to let her live.
Ahhh! She screamed in anger and frustration but it was no use. No, stop! Ill kill you!!
The last bit of purple energy surged forth, trying to form around her in a protective shield. A blast of divine flames engulfed her in response and quickly turned her final defense to ash.
That was the last bit of spiritual energy she had, she had nothing left. She continued to struggle but her physical strength also began to wane. When she could no longer properly defend, dragon claws skewered her flesh and dug into her organs. Powerful punches and kicks crushed her bones and snapped her tendons.
He first broke her legs so she could no longer run.
He then tore her arms out of their sockets so she could no longer fight back.
Finally, he punctured her chest and ripped out her heart.
