NABC Chapter 16 One Against Eight
Chapter 16 One Against Eight
The fiery magma shot straight into the sky, then turned into a rain of fire that crashed down on the ground, melting the swirling snow.
Two completely opposite forces collided and intertwined, and thick white fog quickly spread at the entrance of the Frozen Valley, obscuring everyone's view.
"Damn it, what's going on?!"
"A spirit beast! There's a second Heavenly-level spirit beast!"
"Quick! Let's go! There's much more than just the Ice Profound Spirit Flood Dragon among the Heavenly-level spirit beasts here!"
The earth trembled violently, and scalding magma continuously gushed forth from the ground.
In an instant, a huge crack appeared in the ground, and a colossal beast, hundreds of feet in size, crawled out of the fissure and let out a bellow like a bull mooing.
"Moo!"
The Earth Core Flame Dragon Lizard is over a hundred feet long, its entire body covered in fiery red scales. Blazing flames burn on its body, and scorching magma flows out from the gaps in its scales, melting large areas of snow on the ground.
At the top of its ferocious head is a spiraling flaming horn, from which scorching heat emanates.
With the appearance of the Earth Core Flame Dragon Lizard, a feeling of panic began to spread in everyone's hearts.
Previously, with only the Ice Profound Spirit Dragon, a Heavenly-level spirit beast, the group wasn't too panicked and still believed they had a chance of winning.
Although the risks are high, the rewards are also extremely high.
But now that one Heavenly-level spirit beast has become two, the situation is completely different.
They suffered greatly from just one Ice Mystic Spirit Dragon, eliminating so many people without even managing to defeat it. Now, another Earth Core Flame Dragon Lizard has arrived, so the situation is naturally dire.
The once relatively united group now scattered and began to retreat and flee for their lives in a frenzy.
At the same time, layers of dark clouds gathered in the sky and enveloped the Frozen Valley.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get dark?"
"Look at the sky, there are dark clouds."
"Why are there so many dark clouds all of a sudden? Everything was fine just a moment ago!"
"Could it be another Celestial-level spirit beast?"
"Pah! Don't jinx it. If another Celestial-level spirit beast comes along, I'll tear your mouth apart first!"
As everyone was astonished, Qin Hao's figure emerged from the thunderclouds.
With each step he took, thunder surged and flashed within the thunderclouds, as if echoing his steps.
Looking down at the Earth Core Flame Dragon Lizard, Qin Hao smiled knowingly.
Now that the Earth Core Rock Dragon Lizard has fully revealed itself, it's time for him to make his move.
With the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique activated, Qin Hao effortlessly manipulated the thunderous power of heaven and earth using supreme scriptures.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed within the thunderclouds, producing bursts of thunderous sound. Amidst the flashes of lightning, purplish-gold thunderbolts erupted within the dark clouds.
"fall."
Qin Hao pressed down on the void in the direction of the two Heavenly-level spirit beasts below, and a loud bang immediately erupted from the thunderclouds.
A bolt of purplish-gold lightning, as thick as a water bucket, struck down from the thunderclouds.
"roar!"
"Moo!"
The Ice Mystic Dragon and the Earth Core Flame Dragon Lizard roared in unison. They exchanged a glance and, with perfect understanding, chose to join forces to resist Qin Hao's attack.
The Ice Mystic Dragon's wings flapped, and its extremely cold spiritual power surged toward the lightning.
The Earth Core Flame Dragon Lizard roared, its scales opening and closing in an exaggerated manner, and a scorching aura burst forth from them, turning into flames that threatened to incinerate the thunderclouds behind Qin Hao.
Seeing the two spirit beasts joining forces, Qin Hao was not flustered at all, but silently activated the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique.
A bolt of purplish-gold lightning struck, instantly piercing through the Ice Profound Spirit Dragon's burst of spiritual power and crashing down upon it, knocking it directly from mid-air.
Above the sky, thunder roared from within the thunderclouds, and surging lightning burst forth, intertwining with the flames.
The lightning transformed into a ferocious dragon, its claws outstretched, which swam through the flames, frantically extinguishing the intense heat.
"The Heaven Fusion Realm! I never expected there would be someone at the Heaven Fusion Realm among the trial participants!"
"Who is this person? How can they possess such formidable strength, fighting two Heavenly-level spirit beasts all by themselves?!"
"I've never seen him before. This person seems to have appeared out of nowhere, but his aura is incredibly domineering."
"I understand, Thunder Emperor! This person must be the Thunder Emperor who's been making waves in the Northern Cang Realm lately!"
"Thunder Emperor?! That's possible. Rumor has it that he defeated the two kings of the Shi family in a one-against-two battle, and he happens to be skilled in thunder magic."
......
On the side of the Frozen Valley, Mu Chen, who had been hiding in the shadows preparing to make a move and reap the benefits, was staring blankly at Qin Hao in the sky, somewhat lost in thought.
"Mu Chen? Mu Chen, what's wrong with you?" Chu Qi nudged the dazed Mu Chen and asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, just a bit shocking. It looks like our operation today is going to fail."
Mu Chen looked in Qin Hao's direction and shook his head with a wry smile.
He is feeling extremely helpless right now.
He had been scheming for a long time for this Ice Mystic Spirit Dragon, spreading the news to attract so many people.
He just didn't expect that this time he would attract not only cannon fodder to help him consume the Ice Profound Spirit Dragon, but also Qin Hao, a true Fusion Realm expert.
At this moment, Mu Chen also understood a sentence.
No amount of scheming is of any use in the face of absolute power.
"Judging from your expression, do you know that powerful figure in the sky?" Chu Qi asked curiously.
Mu Chen didn't hide anything and quickly composed himself, nodding and saying, "I know him. That's my childhood friend, Brother Hao. His full name is Qin Hao. We came out of the Northern Spirit Realm together."
I never expected his strength to have reached this level.
He had already killed a half-step Heaven Fusion Realm expert when he was in the early stages of the Divine Soul Realm. Now that he has advanced to the Heaven Fusion Realm, probably no one in the entire Northern Cang Realm would be his match.
"Yes, to fight against two Heavenly-level spirit beasts on his own, perhaps only the top King-level beasts could be his match."
Chu Qi looked up at the sky and sighed in agreement.
"King level? I don't think that's enough. At least the King level people I know are definitely no match for him," Mu Chen said confidently.
Chu Qi looked at Mu Chen with surprise. "He ruined your plans, yet you still admire him so much?"
Mu Chen shrugged helplessly, "So what if it's ruined? They're all brothers anyway, and given the situation, I wasn't 100% sure I could succeed."
"Brother Mu has a magnanimous heart, I, Chu Qi, admire him greatly," Chu Qi said with sincere respect.
After a pause, Chu Qi continued, "Brother Mu, since you're so familiar with him, why don't you go ask him later? Maybe he'll give you the essence."
Mu Chen shook his head and didn't say anything more. He just silently thought about what price he should ask for when they met to trade the essence of a Heavenly-level spirit beast from Brother Hao.
The development is different from that in the original work.
Because Liu Yu was swept away by Qin Hao early on, the so-called Nine Domains Conference was not held, and there was no story of Liu Jingshan, who was at the Fusion Realm, forcing a group of domain lords to form the Nine Domains Alliance.
It was precisely for this reason that Mu Chen did not make a deal with the Nine Nether Bird sealed within his body, let alone the bloodline contract that appeared later.
The two are still in the same state of mutual hostility and vigilance as they were at the beginning.
Under these circumstances, Mu Chen would naturally need a powerful spirit beast essence to increase his combat power in the Divine Soul Realm.
