228: Chapter 228 Primal Talent - Rising Sun

Boom! A loud noise!

The ground at the edge of the Qinling Mountains shook violently, as if it had just experienced a terrifying magnitude-10 earthquake. A massive sunken crater, covering over a thousand meters, appeared on the ground!

It was bottomless, like a pitch-black abyss!

In the dark crater, a pair of vertical blood-red pupils suddenly appeared!

"Roar!" An angry dragon's roar resounded, shooting straight into the clouds!

"Ant!!!"

The Black Flood Dragon's massive three-hundred-meter-long body suddenly soared into the air, its voice laced with shocking anger!

This time when he left his territory, not only was he chased by this thieving ant, but he was actually caught up to and injured by it!

This caused him, with his arrogant personality, to completely lose his reason. His aura surged like a stormy sea, becoming exceptionally terrifying and suffocating...

Above the thousand-meter sunken crater, a fiery red, handsome giant bird hovered in the air.

"Such a hard physical body..."

"It seems that killing this Black Flood Dragon will not be a simple matter..."

Ye Yang paid no mind to the angry, terrifying aura emitted by the Black Flood Dragon, focusing his attention instead on the Black Flood Dragon's erect head.

His pupils narrowed. On the surface of the top of its head—which was larger than his own body—a white mark had appeared, standing out conspicuously against the Black Flood Dragon's pitch-black body.

Just now, by relying on his bloodline power, lightning power, and Wind Power to accelerate in the air, he had reached a terrifying level of speed. Combined with his own powerful physical strength, his sharp claws had swiped at the Black Flood Dragon's head, yet it did not result in the outcome he had expected.

"Only a scratch... This Black Flood Dragon's entire body is harder than a thousand-year-old turtle!"

"However, the goal has been achieved. My speed is faster than this Black Flood Dragon's, which has completely cut off its retreat. As long as I am careful, my safety can be guaranteed!"

Simply put, Ye Yang's current speed has skyrocketed, far exceeding the Black Flood Dragon's. Even if he cannot suppress and kill this Black Flood Dragon in a head-on battle, Ye Yang has enough confidence to ensure he can retreat unscathed.

Furthermore, through the system panel, all information about the Black Flood Dragon was already known to Ye Yang. He didn't need to worry about the Black Flood Dragon hiding any tricks and could fight with all his might.

As his thoughts became clearer, the aura Ye Yang emitted grew increasingly sharp, his fighting spirit soaring!

"Roar! You ant, you still wish to fight me?!"

"You are seeking your own death!"

The Black Flood Dragon roared and rushed over. Ye Yang did not dodge as he had before and began a head-on battle!

"Gigantification!"

With a thought, his body size rapidly skyrocketed, growing three to four times larger than before. Although his size after this expansion still could not compare to the Black Flood Dragon's massive three-hundred-meter body, it was already about the same size as the Black Flood Dragon's head.

The rushing Black Flood Dragon saw Ye Yang suddenly increase in size before him, and it paused for a moment.

"This is... how do you have the Snake Mother's talent skill?"

Then, realizing what it was, its vertical demonic pupils filled with rage!

"Damn it! The Snake Mother's talent skill clearly belongs to me... You ant not only stole my ancient spiritual plant, but you also devoured it and obtained the Snake Mother's talent skill! I will swallow you alive!"

The already enraged Black Flood Dragon descended into madness, its vertical pupils glaring fiercely at Ye Yang, as if it were looking at a mortal enemy!

To be precise, that was indeed the case. The blood orchid, an ancient spiritual plant in Snake Valley, and the talent skill possessed by the Snake Mother were both things the Black Flood Dragon had already claimed for itself. Originally, it had planned to wait for the ancient spiritual plant to mature and for the Snake Mother's evolution level to reach the Great Lord level before coming to harvest them.

But it hadn't expected that the ancient spiritual plant would be stolen by the thief before it, and that this thief would be lucky enough to obtain the Snake Mother's talent skill after hunting and devouring her!

Although the Snake Mother herself was weak and her racial bloodline very ordinary, the talent skill she had accidentally awakened was exceptionally rare...

Being able to increase body size by three to four times—if applied to a creature that was already massive, how astonishing would that effect be?

For instance, in the case of a three-hundred-meter-long Black Flood Dragon, even if it only grew by one or two times, the power brought about by that increased size would be enough to easily crush creatures of the same evolution level.

Therefore, in the Black Flood Dragon's eyes, the talent skill possessed by the Snake Mother was extremely important.

Originally, after the Snake Mother had been hunted, it had only been somewhat angry; after all, devouring a creature did not guarantee obtaining its talent skill—the probability was very, very low.

However, when it saw the ant thief before it suddenly grow in size, it understood that this ant thief had not only stolen its ancient spiritual plant but had also obtained the Snake Mother's talent!

Envy, jealousy, and hatred! This was the most accurate way to describe the Black Flood Dragon's current mood!

"Roar!!!" The surrounding air vibrated violently. The aura constantly emitted by the Black Flood Dragon caused the wild beasts and creatures within several kilometers below to flee frantically into the distance. After roaring, it flashed before Ye Yang.

"Die! Ant!" Opening its cavernous maw, it lunged to bite at Ye Yang's slender neck!

Ye Yang sensed a wave of bloody stench rushing towards him. He activated the bloodline power, lightning power, and Wind Power within his body, his speed skyrocketing as he instantly dodged sideways, narrowly avoiding the Black Flood Dragon's cavernous maw.

He then slammed his head hard into the Black Flood Dragon's head!

Clang!!! It was as if the morning bell of an ancient temple had been struck; a heavy sound echoed in the air, spreading into the distance.

"Ah!!! My eye!!!" A massive, painful roar erupted from the Black Flood Dragon's mouth. Its huge right eye socket was now empty, and streams of pale golden blood flowed out.

Affected by gravity, the pale golden blood fell from the high altitude like rain onto the ground, smashing fist-sized craters into the earth. The craters quickly began to emit white smoke, as the pale golden blood contained intense heat.

Held within Ye Yang's golden beak was a sphere, red and lustrous as jade; upon closer inspection, it was clearly the Black Flood Dragon's right pupil.

"This mixed-blood dragon is so easily enraged; could its brain be broken?"

"Or perhaps... are all dragon creatures like this?"

"Hmm..."

As Ye Yang observed the Black Flood Dragon's condition, he suddenly noticed something—a delicious, sweet scent flowing within his beak. It turned out that the pale golden blood trapped within the Black Flood Dragon's pupil had flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

"Delicious!" He opened his golden beak wide and swallowed the Black Flood Dragon's right pupil in one gulp...
