After finishing off the Ice Dragon, a flash of silver light appeared on Yun Ming, and he charged toward the Fire Dragon once more. Strike while the iron is hot; it was not yet time to reap the rewards of this battle.
A silver light flickered on the Fire Dragon's head, and Yun Ming's figure materialized. The Atlas Spear shimmered with golden light, carrying the weight of mountains and rivers. Clearly, he intended to end this sudden accident with a single strike, but unfortunately, things rarely go as planned!
As Yun Ming's Atlas Spear, imbued with the power of Absolute Dominance, was about to pierce the dragon's skull, the Ten Directions Flowing Clouds seemed to ignite, burning violently. A monstrous wave of dragon flames erupted, turning the sky into a sea of fire.
Facing the sudden, terrifying flames, Yun Ming's expression shifted. He retracted the Atlas Spear and swung it in a sweeping motion, severing the surging dragon flames before immediately using Teleportation to dodge, avoiding being surrounded by the inferno.
Yun Ming retreated over ten miles, steering clear of the most intense fire zone, and stared fixedly ahead. An intense warning of danger made the hair on his body stand on end. Although he did not know the specifics, it was obvious that he was in a troublesome situation.
Roar—
After only a brief moment, a high-pitched dragon roar echoed from within the flames. Accompanying the roar, the dragon flames in the sky and the Yang Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well began to gather and condense, drawing in massive amounts of fire energy.
As the energy coalesced, the majesty within grew increasingly potent. Once all the energy had been swallowed by the object at the center, a Giant Dragon, vastly different from the previous one, appeared in Yun Ming's field of vision.
Its current form was unique and mysterious. Its body was massive and fierce, covered in hard scales like red-gold crystal, resembling a soldier's armor—solid and durable. The horns on its head stood tall, its eyes burned like torches, and its dragon claws were incredibly sharp, capable of easily tearing through mountain rock. The flame clouds swirling around its claws and tail made it look exceptionally majestic. Compared to the previous Yang Spring Fire Dragon, the current Fire Dragon, covered in crystal scales, looked like a True Dragon descended upon the world.
And that was not the most critical part; the most critical part was that its eyes were no longer filled with the previous madness and murderous intent. There was a sense of clarity, as if it had been awakened by Yun Ming's strike. This state was not good for Yun Ming at all; it looked extremely dangerous.
The precious time the Ice Dragon had bought with its life had not only awakened it but had also made the Fire Dragon even more powerful.
The Fire Dragon did not pay attention to Yun Ming at first. Its gaze shifted toward the direction of the Ice Dragon Pearl, and upon discovering that its old companion was on the verge of having its soul scattered, its rage burned, manifested by the Scarlet Gold Dragon Flame on its body burning even more fiercely.
"Human, you are quite good!"
The Fire Dragon turned its attention back to Yun Ming and spoke in human language.
Not good, this is bad! Upon hearing this, Yun Ming had no other thoughts; only this realization filled his mind.
"This King will surely burn you to ashes!"
Without waiting for Yun Ming to reply, the Fire Dragon King opened its maw, and a terrifying stream of scarlet gold dragon flames surged toward him.
!!!
Although the start of this Dragon Breath was the same as before, the power was vastly different. If the temperature of the previous flames was merely the Ultimate Fire, this should have already touched the threshold of divine fire. Under these fierce flames, the very space seemed to be on the verge of being burned through.
Yun Ming flashed aside to dodge the attack, but while he could dodge, the mountain behind him could not! As the dragon flames swept past, the mountain peak that had stood upright like a pillar was silently burned through, leaving a hole at least ten zhang in diameter.
Watching the molten rock dripping from the edges of the hole, Yun Ming became even more vigilant. He could not afford to take a direct hit!
But Yun Ming dodging the impact was only the beginning; this crystal giant dragon, which seemed to be the King of Fire Dragons, launched its assault.
Facing the menacing dragon, Yun Ming was completely fearless. He brandished the Atlas Spear in his hand and met it head-on.
"Kill!" x2
Different sounds of slaughter erupted from both sides as Yun Ming and the Fire Dragon King resumed their battle.
The first, third, fourth, and seventh Spirit Rings appeared one by one, lighting up in succession, and all his boosting spirit skills, including his Spirit Avatar, were activated. After pushing his Soul Power to its peak, Yun Ming thrust his spear with ferocity.
The Fire Dragon King was not afraid in the slightest, clenching its dragon claws into fists, surging with dragon flames, and striking with all its might.
Boom—
The collision between the spear and the fist erupted with a deafening roar, as if the very heavens and earth were being torn apart by the force. The runes on the Atlas Spear flickered with even more dazzling light during the clash, while sparks flew from the giant dragon's crystal scales under the piercing of the divine spear.
After one exchange, Yun Ming roughly understood that the opponent's current strength was not below his own.
With the first clash yielding no results, the battle escalated rapidly, and Yun Ming and the Fire Dragon King wove a series of thrilling trajectories through the air.
Boom, boom, boom—
The entire sky became a battlefield for the man and the dragon, and this time, they were evenly matched.
Yun Ming's Atlas Divine Spear was like a pen held by the heavens; every swing, stab, block, grab, pounce, point, and deflect carried an endless intent of absolute offense. Meanwhile, the Fire Dragon King's sharp claws and giant tail were like lightning in a storm—fast and fierce, with no sense of sluggishness or redundancy.
The trees around the valley snapped one after another during their battle, and giant boulders were lifted by the powerful force, scattering everywhere. The entire valley seemed to have turned into an apocalyptic battlefield, filled with destruction and chaos.
Every strike of Yun Ming's spear carried the intent of Absolute Dominance as he fought passionately with the Fire Dragon King. However, although the opponent's weaknesses remained, the effects were no longer as significant as before. As for his spatial techniques, even if Yun Ming used Sky Support, Annihilation to sever one of the Fire Dragon King's claws, it could quickly recover, remaining as it was before—unable to inflict any lasting damage. It seemed this was going to be a long fight!
As time passed, the battle between Yun Ming and the Fire Dragon King grew increasingly intense, and the entire valley was shrouded in thick smoke and the light of Soul Power. Every clash between the spear and the claws generated massive shockwaves, tearing the surrounding earth and forming bottomless fissures.
However, despite the intensity of the battle, neither Yun Ming nor the Fire Dragon King took a single step back. Their eyes were filled with determination and unyielding spirit; it seemed only one of them would be left standing today.
After a violent collision, the Fire Dragon King suddenly flapped its wings and soared high, shooting straight into the clouds. Yun Ming followed closely behind, his divine spear pointing toward the firmament as if to split the sky in two.
Having taken so many hits of Absolute Dominance, the Fire Dragon King was now somewhat delirious. After all, it had been dead for too long; not only could it only exert a fraction of its cultivation, but its dragon soul was also very fragile. This was not something that could be solved just by waking up. If it continued to fight like this, it would only follow in its old friend's footsteps, so it had to end this quickly.
Watching Yun Ming pursue him, the Fire Dragon King whipped its tail, knocking the incoming Yun Ming away, while countless flames began to gather on its dragon horns.
Yun Ming's wings flapped wildly behind him to stabilize his body, and as he looked up, he saw the golden dragon flames on the Fire Dragon King's head growing increasingly dazzling!
Danger! Extremely dangerous!!
Just by glancing at it, Yun Ming felt as if his eyes were about to be burned; one could imagine the strength of the move the Fire Dragon King was preparing. Yun Ming naturally could not allow it to charge up such a dangerous move, so he raised the Atlas Divine Spear and soared upward—he could not let it unleash this attack.
But the Fire Dragon King would not let Yun Ming have his way. Facing the rapidly approaching Yun Ming, a flash of ruthlessness crossed the Fire Dragon King's eyes as it spoke in human language.
"As a human, to be able to push this King to such a point, you are quite good."
"However, you must die today!!"
Roar—
With a furious roar from the Fire Dragon King, the crescent-shaped reverse scale on its neck shattered directly. Its cultivation began to soar rapidly, quickly breaking through the limits of the Human World and stepping into the realm of gods. Moreover, compared to its cultivation, a dragon might far exceeding that of ordinary gods pressed down. It was impossible to return to its original God King cultivation, but it could manage the strength of a Second-rank God for two or three breaths.
Under this dragon might, Yun Ming could not move a single inch and plummeted into the mountain forest.
A massive surge of power recovered, not only suppressing Yun Ming until he could not move, but also rapidly accelerating the Fire Dragon King's charging process. Under the blessing of divine power, the Fire Dragon King's lethal strike was prepared in an instant.
"Fire Dragon King's Sin!!!"
A weary yet resolute chant rang out as the Fire Dragon King's ultimate move descended ferociously, while Yun Ming, despite exerting his greatest effort, could only look up, unable to mobilize his own abilities to escape.
Boom--
Heavenly Fire Descends, turning all things to ash, and Yun Ming's life or death remained unknown.
