141: Chapter 141 Shining Form!

Su Chen licked the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, his eyes flashing with a sharp light of determination.

Whether it was for the leap in his own strength or to save the nearly-collapsed Jiang Province, he would never let go of that God-given authority, [Undead Scourge]!

"Archon Zhang, leave the small fries on the periphery to your men. As for this old lich, he's mine!" Su Chen's voice was clear and confident, carrying an unquestionable sense of power.

Before his voice had even faded, he was already riding the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon, charging boldly into the spatial meat grinder sealed by the Imprisonment Scroll—a place where one could only enter but never leave.

"Don't go in!"

"Su Chen! Quick, come back!"

"A fourth awakening facing a ninth awakening Sub-God head-on? This is pure suicide!"

Exclamations rose one after another. Jiang Yu and Archon Zhang were flushed with anxiety, while the other class holders were filled with shock, hardly able to believe their eyes.

Although most of them had witnessed Su Chen's feat of defeating a sixth Awakening Epic Knight as a Third Awakening during the college entrance exam, the gap between Rhys and that Goblin knight was an insurmountable chasm.

Challenging a ninth awakening Sub-God while only at the fourth awakening was an impossible death trap in anyone's common sense.

However, Su Chen was already inside the boundary; a miracle was now their only hope.

"Jie jie jie, another one rushing to his death."

Within Rhys's hollow skull, the eerie blue Soul fire flickered violently, his voice sounding like a rusty saw grinding. "A juvenile Sub-God Dragon... what a premium material for refining a Bone Dragon!"

"Xiao Zi, go up and tie him down."

Su Chen glanced indifferently at the lich, then looked at the nearly scrapped metal beast to the side before giving the command to the dragon beneath him.

He actually didn't plan on maintaining the shared state of [Destiny Knight], but instead decided to let the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon face this terrifying undead Dominator alone!

Swoosh!

[Storm Wings], three to four meters wide and flowing with thunder and gale, instantly spread behind Su Chen's back as he took to the sky from the dragon's spine.

At the same time, his mount erupted with an unprecedented radiance.

[Shining Amethyst Form]!

The scales covering the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon's body instantly turned into transparent crystal, emitting a purple-gold divine light as brilliant as the stars.

Its size expanded frantically in the light to over five hundred meters, its wings sweeping across the sky and blotting out the sun.

The lich, who had seemed tall just a moment ago, now appeared as tiny as an ant before it.

Despite the disparity in size, the class holders outside the boundary still held their breath, their hearts in their throats—could the gap in Rank really be made up for by size?

[Death Pulse]!

Concentrated necromantic energy gathered at the tip of Rhys's withered bone scepter, and a beam of pitch-black death light whistled out, aiming straight for the dragon's heart.

Unexpectedly, the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon didn't make any move to dodge; instead, it accelerated and slammed into the breath!

Boom!!!

The black pulse slammed solidly into the crystalline dragon scales, but it only triggered a ring of brilliant light waves.

The dragon's HP bar didn't budge, and not even a single scorch mark was left behind.

What the lich found even more absurd was that the pulse actually deflected the moment it touched the scales, bouncing back fiercely at Rhys like a mirror reflection.

"This... this is impossible!" The Archlich was knocked back several steps by his own skill, his HP bar beginning to slide down due to the backlash.

"My god, what am I seeing?"

"A killing move from a ninth awakening Sub-God was actually reflected without taking any damage?"

Exclamations broke out outside the boundary; everyone's worldview was shattered at this moment.

This was the Heaven-Defying form of the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon's Awakening:

[Shining Amethyst Form]: Sacrifices 50% of Spirit gain in exchange for double Strength and full Physique and Agility bonuses.

The core buff lies in the passive skill [Amethyst Refraction]—it provides complete immunity to Spell damage below the level of a Forbidden Spell and has a very high probability of reflecting attacks.

This was exactly the source of Su Chen's confidence in letting it fight Rhys one-on-one.

As a pure magic-type BOSS, Rhys was almost an idiot when it came to melee combat, and even his basic attacks carried Spell damage.

In front of the magic-immune Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon, he possessed world-destroying mana but had nowhere to vent it.

Ten minutes of invincible entanglement was more than enough!

Taking advantage of the gap while Rhys was dazed, the dragon had already closed in.

[Purple Flame · Thunder Impact]!

Dragon claws covered in thunder and purple fire slammed down like the weight of Mount Tai.

Boom—!!!

An overwhelming brute force erupted, actually slamming this ninth awakening lich deep into the earth, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

In mid-air, Su Chen's sixfold Domain was fully active, and the 'flame of joy' in his hand had already been switched to that dusty ancient brick.

[Runic Blade]!

Densely packed God-slaying runes appeared on the brick, instantly granting it a Karma-based lock for long-range projection.

Su Chen flapped his wings vigorously, looking down from above as he threw out waves of terrifying brick Qi at the lich in the pit.

[Brick to the Head]!

The phantom of the brick fell like a meteor; due to the modification of the skill's traits, the effect could be perfectly triggered even when thrown from a distance.

Every impact took away 999 points of fixed true damage from Rhys and stacked a stun.

Although the initial 1-second control was reduced to 0.73 seconds by Rhys's resilience, in the face of Su Chen's Heaven-Defying attack speed, those 0.73 seconds were enough to form an infinite chain of control!
