206: Lay the foundation for victory

“Roar, roar, roar……”

Cang Ming's Dragon head was pierced through by the Three-Legged Small Cauldron, and his Sea of Consciousness was shattered. His wild Dragon eyes visibly dimmed, and his vitality rapidly drained. The ferocious Dragon roars he emitted clearly showed his continuous weakening, and his Dragon body twisted violently, struggling in the Void Realm. His incredibly powerful Dragon body stirred up the universe, causing the Void Realm to shatter and winds and clouds to rage.

Even though his Bloodline had undergone Ancestral Awakening and his combat power was Heaven-Defying, allowing him to overwhelm God Realm experts across Realms, he ultimately failed to ignite his Divine Fire and condense his Divine Soul. It was impossible for him to survive and fight without his Physical Body and Sea of Consciousness.

Although he could already regrow severed limbs and possessed extraordinary vitality, before reaching the God Realm, the head remained the core.

“I am destined to become the Azure Dragon Great Emperor, a great existence poised to challenge for the position of Mythical Dragon Emperor. How could I possibly be defeated by a lowly Human Race member like you?”

Cang Ming roared, filled with endless wildness and ferocity. Feeling the continuous loss of vitality within his body, he was still unwilling to fall. His black Dragon Pearl directly filled the hole in his Dragon head. The Dragon Pearl exuded an ancient and powerful aura, actually replacing the Sea of Consciousness, suppressing his vitality, and maintaining the function of his Dragon body.

“How could you possibly be my opponent?”

Cang Ming acted against the heavens, reaching an unimaginably wild state. With his head pierced through, he forcefully defied fate, suppressing himself with the black Dragon Pearl and surviving.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

In the center of his Dragon head, the hole made by the Three-Legged Small Cauldron was transparent from front to back. His Sea of Consciousness collapsed, and his brain marrow and Mental Energy continuously flowed out. Yet, even so, his vitality was suppressed. His Dragon body defied the heavens, and under the pressure, he actually began to continuously Break Through himself. His Physical Body became even stronger, and even some hidden Secret Treasures were continuously being broken open, impacting towards fifty thousand Secret Treasures.

Boom, boom, boom…

Dark black flames began to burn on his Dragon body, scorching a hundred-zhang-sized hole in the sky. After Cang Ming forcefully suppressed the collapse of his Sea of Consciousness and the loss of vitality with the black Dragon Pearl, he actually began to ignite his Divine Fire and condense a Dragon God Soul during the battle, aiming to Break Through to the God Realm.

“Lowly Human Race, how could I, who has awakened the great Chaos Beginning Dragon Bloodline, possibly be defeated by you? You have successfully enraged me.”

Cang Ming roared. His Dragon head being pierced through made him look extremely ferocious and terrifying, like a demonic Dragon crawling out of Hell. Under the threat of death, he became even wilder and more terrifying. In this situation, his strength was actually continuously increasing. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws, launching even more terrifying attacks towards Chu Tian.

His innate Divine Ability, phenomena, black Dragon Pearl, powerful physical strength, Mental Energy, and even the power of his Ancestral Bloodline Awakening were all rapidly rising, causing the Divine Dragon Shield formed by the Chaos Golden Dragon around Chu Tian to tremble repeatedly, with cracks appearing on it.

Cang Ming, with his Ancestral Bloodline Awakening, countless fortuitous encounters, and the Origin power within the black Dragon Pearl, possessed incredibly powerful innate combat strength. His attacks were extremely wild, wide, and sweeping.

“Hiss!”

The Supreme experts around the Eternal Sky Realm gasped, their faces pale.

This scene was utterly horrifying, making one's scalp tingle and almost explode. Even to them, who were at least Half-Step Emperor Venerable, or even Emperor Venerable who had lived for a long time, it was an extremely terrifying and unbelievable sight.

This scene could literally scare a person to death.

“Is this Azure Dragon really born from that beast Dragon Pan and Canglong Princess? How terrifying.” Lingfeng Emperor’s voice trembled, his face slightly pale. He simply couldn't imagine that such a monstrous Prodigy existed in the world. He was merely at the Body Integration Realm, and even his head was pierced through, yet he was still not dead and was even making a Heaven-Defying, all-around Breakthrough in battle.

It wasn't just him; many other experts around felt as if they were watching a dream.

They couldn't even imagine such a Prodigy in their dreams!

“Is this the Supreme Prodigy, the unrivaled Prodigy, that can only emerge from the Bloodline of the mythical overlord Dragon Clan?” Youxuan's voice was incredibly heavy. As a Human King of a Human Race Realm, the Dragon Clan was ultimately an alien race to him. Even though he hoped to see Cang Ming win, so that Feng Changhao wouldn't have to kneel, thus preserving his dignity as a Human King.

But upon seeing a so-called Human Race descendant, who was in essence already a member of the Dragon Clan, become so monstrously powerful, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

It wasn't just him; the Human Kings of the other seven Realms also had solemn expressions and felt the same way.

The only one who was greatly invigorated was Feng Changhao, who was now laughing maniacally.

His face was pale at this moment. He had been in despair when he saw Chu Tian's extreme Breakthrough, his Divine Ability reaching Major Achievement, and the emergence of two more Dragon-shaped phenomena, directly piercing through Cang Ming's Dragon head.

But he never expected that just when he thought all hope was lost, a new path would emerge. Under the unparalleled pressure brought by Chu Tian, Cang Ming directly began to Break Through in battle against the odds.

Of course, anyone could see that this was also because Cang Ming had great ambition before, so he had been suppressing his Realm and had not chosen to ignite his Divine Fire and Break Through to the God Realm.

After all, even top Human Race experts like Chu Tian King and Heavenly Fortune Daoist had only opened more than ten thousand Secret Treasures before.

Cang Ming had now opened a full forty-six thousand Secret Treasures, but still chose not to Break Through to the God Realm. His goal was probably to impact the Dragon Clan's legendary limit of eighty-four thousand Secret Treasures.

Now, under Chu Tian's terrifying pressure, he had actually voluntarily given up on impacting the Peak of eighty-four thousand Secret Treasures, choosing to Break Through to the God Realm to reverse the tide of victory and defeat.

In a sense, although Chu Tian was about to be defeated and die, he could be considered to have lost gloriously.

After all, breaking through early, without reaching the extreme of a Realm, would somewhat diminish Cang Ming's great potential.

Under these circumstances, unless Chu Tian could also immediately ignite his Divine Fire and Break Through to the God Realm, the immense combat power increase brought by igniting the Divine Fire to a monstrous Supreme Prodigy like Cang Ming could not be offset by some minor Breakthroughs.

But how old was Chu Tian?

He was merely nine years old. Although his Realm seemed very peculiar and special, he had not even reached the Peak of the Spirit Refining Realm. He had only prematurely broken through the Body Integration Realm. The most basic prerequisite for breaking through to the God Realm was the Perfection of Mental Energy, and Chu Tian's Mental Energy hadn't even fully filled his Sea of Consciousness, making it impossible for him to Break Through to the God Realm.

At the moment Cang Ming made his Breakthrough to the God Realm against the odds, the victory was completely sealed.

“Chu Tian, what a pity.” A Human King whose face could not be seen sighed slightly, feeling sorry for Chu Tian.

Such an astonishingly talented Prodigy, at such a young age, reaching such a level, if he were to grow up, he might even challenge the myths in the future, comparable to the Emperors of all races.

But under impulse, he was about to perish here.
