117: Mount Tai pressing down! A hidden universe within.

"Roar!"

The Lava Giant Lizard was completely enraged. It fiercely swung its tail, and its massive, bone-studded tail, like a steel whip, swept towards the Raging Waves Sea Soul with a whistling wind!

The Raging Waves Sea Soul immediately activated Tidal Turtle Shell!

"Bang!"

A loud bang!

The aqua-blue shield formed by Tidal Turtle Shell trembled violently, rippling, but it ultimately blocked the powerful blow!

"Little Turtle, use Spiral Thorns!" Lu Yuan decisively ordered.

Endless water vapor condensed in front of it, forming giant water thorns shimmering with cold light in the blink of an eye!

"Go!"

Dozens of water thorns, like a torrential downpour, shot towards the Lava Giant Lizard, covering the sky and earth!

The Lava Giant Lizard was massive and couldn't completely dodge.

"Puff, puff, puff!"

Most of the water thorns hit its scales, only splashing water before being evaporated by the high temperature.

But a few water thorns still accurately hit the areas around its eyes, which had previously been attacked by the Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon, as well as some weaker joints in its scales!

"Roar—!"

The Lava Giant Lizard let out a painful roar. Although the wounds were not deep, the erosion of water Source Power made it extremely uncomfortable.

It was utterly furious!

It suddenly inhaled, its chest and abdomen swelling high!

The next moment!

"Whoosh—!"

A large, fan-shaped torrent of lava spewed from its mouth, like a volcanic eruption, covering an area of nearly a hundred meters in front of it!

Holy crap!

"Not good! Dodge quickly!"

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted.

The Raging Waves Sea Soul immediately channeled its water energy with all its might, forming a thick water curtain in front of it.

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon, on the other hand, transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot into the sky, avoiding the lava's coverage.

Lu Yuan himself, relying on his agile movements, took a few leaps and hid behind a huge volcanic rock.

"Rumble!"

Wherever the lava torrent passed, rocks melted, the ground collapsed, leaving a scene of devastation!

That area instantly became a true lava purgatory!

The water curtain condensed by the Raging Waves Sea Soul, under the impact of the lava torrent, only lasted for a few seconds before breaking apart.

"This guy is too fierce!" Lu Yuan felt lingering fear.

Fifth-order demon beasts, even in their regular state, were not so easy to deal with.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

Comparing the sizes of the two giant beasts.

"Mount Tai Crushing Down!"

"Light Falcon! Focus on distraction, the eyes!" Lu Yuan gave another command.

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon let out a high-pitched eagle cry and, with an unstoppable momentum, swooped down again!

This time, the lightning on its body was more brilliant than any previous time!

It was clearly giving its all!

The Lava Giant Lizard had just unleashed its ultimate move and was in a brief period of exhaustion.

Facing the Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon's desperate assault, it could only hastily twist its head, trying to avoid vital spots.

"Too late!"

The Raging Waves Sea Soul, relying on gravitational acceleration, sat down with its rear end.

"Pfft!"

"Bang!"

Two unusual sounds rang out almost simultaneously!

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon's phantom lightning claws finally tore a bone-deep wound on the Lava Giant Lizard's left eyelid, and blood spurted out!

At the same time, its massive weight of 300,000 tons pressed down hard!

A truly earth-shattering collapse!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The Raging Waves Sea Soul, still not satisfied, swept away the shattered rocks with its tail and stood up again.

As the dust cleared, the Lava Giant Lizard had turned into a lava meat patty, leaving behind only a flattened beast core... uh... a flattened beast core?!

Holy crap!

"My beast core!!"

Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward, immediately sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the Source Power from the beast core.

What a loss, what a loss!

As the Breathing Technique circulated, pure fire Source Power surged into his body, rapidly transformed and absorbed by the Source Power vortex within him.

His Source Power limit began to steadily increase once again.

Seven hundred fifty points!

Seven hundred seventy points!

Seven hundred ninety points!

Finally, when the energy in the flattened beast core was completely absorbed, Lu Yuan's Source Power limit was fixed at 795 points!

"What a pity..." Lu Yuan sighed, "Next time, I still shouldn't use Mount Tai Crushing Down."

It was like injuring the enemy a thousand, but harming oneself eight hundred.

Wasting so much Source Power, and the harvest was halved.

"Sigh..."

Just then, the mysterious stone fragment placed close to his chest once again emitted a faint tremor.

A richer gray energy emanated from the lava meat patty and, like a young swallow returning to its nest, surged into the stone fragment.

The mysterious pattern on the surface of the stone fragment became even clearer!

Lu Yuan took out the stone fragment and held it in his palm.

He could feel that the stone fragment seemed to be being "charged" by some unknown energy, and the pattern on it was becoming increasingly complete.

Perhaps, when the pattern was fully revealed, its secret would be unveiled.

He put the stone fragment away and turned his gaze towards the cave behind the lava pool that the Lava Giant Lizard had been guarding.

Previously, due to the intense battle, he hadn't investigated carefully.

Now, calming down, he could vaguely sense a strange energy fluctuation from deep within the cave.

That fluctuation was different from Source Power, and also different from the aura of a demon beast.

Moreover... Lu Yuan listened intently, and it seemed he could still hear faint "clinking" sounds, like metal colliding and rubbing, subtly coming from deep within the cave.

"Is there something inside?" Lu Yuan's eyes moved, and a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

"Is it a person? An aboriginal?"

...
