582: Chapter 582 Fierce Battle (Part 3)

Tang Youlan smiled without saying a word.

According to ancient records, the growth of the Saint-Grade Seven Profound Root requires gathering seven spirit pearls and simultaneously comprehending the seven elemental Laws.

Therefore, she wasn't surprised at all by Xiao Chen's previous protection of Liu Luoying.

However, relying solely on a Dual Cultivation partner is far from enough to obtain elemental source power. Yet, in the Spiritual Qi-deficient Lower Realm, Xiao Chen was actually able to fill his Wood Spirit Source Power to the brim, unless he had obtained some kind of heaven-and-earth treasure.

Chi Zhongtian's lips curled into a cold sneer as he looked at Xiao Chen, his gaze like a poison-dipped blade. "You can even recover from that? This Young Master truly underestimated you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure once again descended upon Xiao Chen from above.

However, this time he was prepared and immediately teleported away.

His body was enveloped in the Power of Thunder as he spun himself frantically, turning into a conical thunder storm and instantly vanishing into a spatial rift.

In the next instant, a rapidly spinning small golden cauldron shot out from a spatial crack behind Chi Zhongtian.

Chi Zhongtian sneered coldly and suddenly turned around, his fist covered in a layer of earthy-yellow fist qi, and threw a punch at the small golden cauldron.

At the moment the fist qi and the cauldron met, Xiao Chen's figure flew out from a Void Realm crack, and his Heaven Punishing Sword Aura crashed down with destructive power.

"You want to try that again?"

Chi Zhongtian snorted coldly, and an ancient, heavy bronze mirror instantly blocked his front, colliding violently with the Heaven Punishing Sword Aura.

However, it wasn't over yet; a small bronze-colored hammer had already locked onto his shoulder and smashed out from a Void Realm crack on his flank.

Chi Zhongtian's pupils constricted. Under the three-sided pincer attack, he was completely unable to fight back, and the star river shatter instantly slammed into his shoulder.

Despite the weakening effect of his protective divine light, the terrifying force of the star river shatter still sent him flying. He tumbled dozens of times before crashing heavily onto the arena stage.

Hiss!

The millions of watching Cultivators once again gasped in shock.

In the seating area, Yun Canghai clenched his fists tightly, his heart as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If a Chaotic Undying Body at the Soul Transformation Stage was still being toyed with, the Yuntian Sect would undoubtedly lose all face.

Xiao Chen didn't hesitate for a moment, teleporting to his side and taking advantage of his dazed state to deliver a mid-air kick that exploded against his face.

"Ah!"

Chi Zhongtian let out a miserable scream, rolling away like a tumbling stone.

Xiao Chen teleported to him again, but just as he was about to deliver another blow, he saw Chi Zhongtian turn into a beam of light and vanish into the flowing light mirror.

Holy shit!

"That works too?"

Xiao Chen felt speechless and lodged a complaint with Yun Canghai, "He fled into the Spiritual Artifact's built-in space; doesn't that count as violating the competition rules?"

To his surprise, Yun Canghai said righteously, "According to the competition rules, victory or defeat is only determined when one side begs for mercy or loses consciousness;"

"And while the flowing light mirror contains an internal space, its physical form is still on the arena stage, so it does not count as a violation of the competition rules!"

"Disgusting!"

Xiao Chen glared at him resentfully. "That's what you said..."

Before he could finish, a wisp of invisible pressure descended from the sky without warning, causing his body to stiffen.

"Myriad Manifestation Clone!"

Xiao Chen shouted angrily, and his figure split into five. Except for the Earth Clone, the other four Clones were all outside the coverage of the Gravity Domain.

Almost at the same time, a piercing Sword Light suddenly struck the Earth Clone.

"Boom!"

With a world-shaking explosion, the Earth Clone burst into dust on the spot, but there was not a single drop of blood; clearly, this was not Xiao Chen's true body.

Xiao Chen's pupils contracted; luckily he had reacted quickly. "You're so underhanded! Even more underhanded than your birthplace!"

"You're looking for death!"

Chi Zhongtian cursed angrily, uncontrollable killing intent surging in his eyes as he condensed power in his palm toward the void:

"Chaos Thunder Realm!"

In an instant, the entire arena space was filled with red electric arcs without leaving a single gap. The terrifying lightning arcs intertwined, making a sizzling sound.

Damn! A full-screen ultimate!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Following three successive explosions, Xiao Chen's remaining four Clones—the Wood Clone, Water Clone, and Fire Clone—shattered into dust in an instant.

Only the Metal Clone, which housed his true body, was still struggling to hold on. Terrifying electrical currents traveled through Xiao Chen's meridians, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

Since learning the movement technique Purple Thunder Absolute Shadow, Xiao Chen had almost become immune to white and purple lightning arcs.

However, he never expected that the Chaos Thunder Realm derived from the Chaotic Undying Body would actually produce extremely rare red lightning arcs.

Even though Xiao Chen had the advantage of teleportation, it was useless against such a full-screen ultimate move.

Although he had the Earth Flame True Fire protecting his body, the stinging pain in his Physical Body and the numbness in his nerves were like surging waves, each one stronger than the last.

"Boundless Thunder Prison!"

Chi Zhongtian condensed his palm again, and endless blood-colored lightning arcs frantically coiled around Xiao Chen, weaving into a blood-colored thunder prison.

As the range continued to shrink, Xiao Chen, at the center of the thunder prison, suddenly lost his five senses. The spiritual power around him dissipated wildly, and he let out uncontrollable low growls:

"Ugh... Ah..."

Nine drops of Black Dragon blood spontaneously ignited, wrapping his body in a layer of Destruction Black Flame, constantly neutralizing the erosion from the thunder prison.

Xiao Chen regained a bit of clarity. At the critical moment, his figure quickly blurred, turning into countless ethereal phantoms in the void.

Having broken free from the thunder prison's lockdown once more, his body wrapped in purple lightning arcs, he instantly plunged into a spatial crack.

"Let's see where you can hide!"

Chi Zhongtian shouted in a low voice and struck his palm toward the void. The space within five hundred miles of the arena instantly shattered into pieces, and a thousand-zhang-long dark shadow became faintly visible.

Just as he was feeling triumphant, a dragon's roar pierced through heaven and earth:

"Demonic Dragon Qi Breaker!"

A pitch-black giant dragon claw reached out from a spatial crack. Destruction Black Flame was coiled around the claw as it slammed violently toward Chi Zhongtian's back.

Feeling a chill down his spine, Chi Zhongtian's mind moved, and the flowing light mirror flew out, instantly transforming into a massive bronze mirror.

Boom!

Under the terrifying sound of metal clashing, the flowing light mirror tumbled wildly in the air, the sound waves instantly penetrating the arena barrier.

Countless Cultivators scrambled to cover their ears, yet their scalps still felt numb from the shock.

Taking the opportunity to retreat rapidly, Chi Zhongtian saw a thousand-zhang-long black dragon-shaped beast bathed in a sea of red lightning.

It had deer antlers, a body like a black python, powerful limbs, and sharp claws and teeth.

On its pitch-black, shiny scales, Earth Flame True Fire formed a solid outer coat, isolating most of the thunderstorm damage.

At this moment, the millions of Cultivators present were all dumbstruck, their eyes wide like copper bells.

"Black... It's actually the Black Dragon Legacy!"

Wan Tianpeng was so shocked his tongue was tied, and he stood up involuntarily.

"Where on earth did the Black Dragon Legacy come from? Could it be from the Divine Dragon Valley of the Eastern Region Continent?" Wan Juechen muttered to himself, then shook his head to dispel the thought.

"People often say that the Black Dragon is tyrannical and temperamental, committing countless evils in its life. To think it would actually leave behind a Legacy."
