231: Chapter 231 The Black Dragon is defeated and departs.

The brilliant colorful rays were not only beautiful, but they also contained Ye Yang's immense, destructive power.

The colorful explosion shockwave covered a thousand meters into the sky, creating a massive, vibrant, colorful air current that swept into the distance, like a brilliant bouquet of colorful fireworks.

Shortly after, a massive creature from the center of the explosion fell straight down from the shattered clouds high above, slamming heavily onto the ground.

The Black Flood Dragon, with its massive three-hundred-meter body and weight of at least dozens to hundreds of tons, crashed thunderously onto the land at the edge of the Qinling Mountains, instantly forming a bottomless giant crater covering a thousand meters!

In the giant crater filled with signs of destruction, plumes of high-temperature white air rose. Black scales the size of an adult lay scattered everywhere. The Black Flood Dragon was soaked in a large amount of pale golden blood; its three-hundred-meter-long body had shattered flesh and pulverized bones, and even the hardest pair of black horns on its head showed signs of cracking.

"How is this possible..."

Although the heavily injured Black Flood Dragon felt unprecedented, intense pain in its body, its internal panic and shock completely eclipsed the intense physical pain.

"I, a member of the Flood Dragon race... how could I be defeated by a bird-like creature that is nothing more than an ant?!"

Pfft!

Its emotions fluctuated violently, aggravating its wounds, and a large amount of blood mixed with visceral fragments gushed out from its gaping maw.

"Roar..."

The Black Flood Dragon tried to get up but found it had lost the ability to control its body. It could only lie prostrate in the giant crater, despairingly gazing at the sky with its only remaining left pupil, because it knew that bird-like creature was coming.

A few seconds later, a powerful hurricane swept across the ground.

A fiery red figure appeared above the giant crater.

Ye Yang was panting heavily, his whole body feeling as if his bones had fallen apart, limp and powerless, his golden pupils unusually filled with exhaustion.

Defeating the Black Flood Dragon was the first all-out fierce battle since his birth. If it weren't for the speed he mastered ensuring his safe retreat, he, with his cautious personality, would absolutely never have fought a creature like the Black Flood Dragon, which was two evolutionary levels stronger than him.

"The size of the risk is directly proportional to the benefits. I hope the harvest obtained from the Black Flood Dragon will be a satisfying surprise..."

Thinking of the "trophy" lying in the giant crater, Ye Yang's exhausted spirit jolted, and a burst of energy surged forth.

He set off, rushing down into the giant crater...

"Roar... ant..."

The Black Flood Dragon sensed his arrival and immediately raised its head to roar angrily, but before it could finish, its head was heavily pressed onto the ground by a pair of powerful golden talons.

Ye Yang looked down with his golden pupils at the Black Flood Dragon's panic-filled left pupil, then sized up its massive three-hundred-meter body.

He gasped inwardly.

"I didn't expect that I would actually defeat a creature of this size... It's truly incredible!"

If it weren't for his successful racial atavism not long ago and mastering his newfound power, he would definitely have run away immediately.

He recalled the situation before the battle with the Black Flood Dragon broke out.

After observing the Black Flood Dragon fighting the Jianghai City human army from a distance, he determined from its unstable aura that this Black Flood Dragon was affected by the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding environment; it was not in a good state, and its combat power was certainly not at its peak.

Later, he even approached to test it and used the Detection Spell to find out the Black Flood Dragon's information. Upon learning that it was not a dragon creature, but just a flood dragon with mixed bloodlines, a surge of fighting spirit welled up in his heart.

However, his choices were all correct. But if he hadn't awakened the innate ability Rising Sun to significantly boost his combat power, even if he could have worn this Black Flood Dragon down to a weakened state, he wouldn't have been able to kill it.

The reason was... this flood dragon was not only huge, but its physical defense was extremely high. According to the information on the system panel, its defense had reached the "B+" level. If Ye Yang hadn't awakened Rising Sun, the innate ability that greatly boosted his combat power, his attacks would have had a hard time breaking the Black Flood Dragon's defense.

Ye Yang summarized it simply in his mind.

The reason he was able to win this fight against the Black Flood Dragon was very likely because the Black Flood Dragon was in a weakened state, and there was also some luck involved.

"Ant, your power has earned my recognition. Let me leave this place..."

"I believe you will absolutely not regret this decision in the future."

A dull, thunderous voice resounded in the giant crater. The Black Flood Dragon's voice was no longer arrogant; it had actually softened significantly.

Ye Yang refocused his attention on the Black Flood Dragon beneath him, his stern golden pupils revealing no emotion.

He sneered inwardly. The fact that he dared to daydream and contemplate just now meant he didn't take the severely injured Black Flood Dragon beneath him seriously; in his heart, this Black Flood Dragon was already dead.

"Have you ever seen any creature let go of a delicious trophy, you mixed-blood flood dragon?"

The calm words fell into the Black Flood Dragon's ears, making its whole body turn cold.

Subsequently, the Black Flood Dragon, whose head was being suppressed on the ground by Ye Yang's pair of golden talons, was furious upon hearing the term "mixed-blood flood dragon," but its severe injuries meant it couldn't resist at all.

It could only struggle to roar!

"My identity is a vanguard of the Flood Dragon race. No one can hunt the Flood Dragon race. Among the ten thousand races, no one can withstand the fury of our Flood Dragon race!"

Its huge left pupil stared at Ye Yang's pair of golden pupils.

"Even if you, this ant... bird-like creature, have an extraordinary background, you shouldn't easily offend the powerful Flood Dragon race. Let me leave here, and when I return to my territory, I will bestow upon you a large amount of ancient spiritual plants and high-quality spiritual stones..."

"The Flood Dragon race?"

Ye Yang's golden pupils froze for a moment. He lowered his head to look down at the expression of this disabled Black Flood Dragon; it didn't look like it was lying.

"This Black Flood Dragon seems to know a lot of information that I don't..."

A flash of inspiration struck his mind. He suddenly remembered that Little White Fox Ah Li had told him that as the evolution level of creatures beneath the Blue Star increases, they know more information in their minds.

This Black Flood Dragon's evolution level is "B+"!

It must know about the situation beneath the Blue Star, as well as the spiritual energy revival and the return of the ten thousand races...

Seeing the brilliant luster blooming in the golden pupils, the Black Flood Dragon had a sliver of an ominous premonition in its heart.

"What exactly does this ant want to do?"

"Could it be that I am really going to die at the hands of this ant-like bird!"

Ye Yang, who had narrowed his eyes and stared at the Black Flood Dragon's severely injured body while thinking for a long time, moved his body, and his sharp claws were lifted from the Black Flood Dragon's head.

The panicked Black Flood Dragon breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

It thought to itself.

"This ant is truly stupid... Once I return to my territory and recover from my injuries, I will definitely take revenge!"

"Ah!!!"

Its body suddenly felt intense pain. The Black Flood Dragon couldn't help but let out a scream, and then it felt a sense of weightlessness it had never experienced before.

Ye Yang's sharp claws lifted the Black Flood Dragon's massive body, and he flew toward the high sky...
