Chapter 586: Each Passing the Trial, Finding the Weakness

Chapter 586 -581: Each Passing the Trial, Finding the Weakness

“Ao Lie has started to fight for his life.”

A voice drew everyone’s attention. Although Ao Lie was no match for the two titans of the Hidden Dragon List, like Chu Xinghun, he was backed by the Flood Dragon Clan and held an extraordinary status.

Moreover, the current Chaos Alliance was led by the Flood Dragon Clan. As the clan’s Young Master, Ao Lie’s every move was under intense scrutiny.

“ROAR.”

Inside the crystal, a Dragon’s Roar shook the heavens. Ao Lie revealed his true form: a colossal Flood Dragon body stretching over a thousand feet, like a mountain range.

Relying on his Physical Power, he engaged the Desert Giant in close-quarters combat. Sand flew everywhere from the Giant’s body. Ao Lie’s claws were sharper than any weapon. But he wasn’t faring well either. Despite his powerful physique, his Dragon Scales began to crack and bleed profusely.

“Ao Lie is going to lose.”

No one was optimistic about Ao Lie’s chances. He looked ferocious, but his fighting style was ultimately useless against the Desert Giant.

The Desert Giant could constantly regenerate from its injuries, but Ao Lie could not. As time went on, his defeat was inevitable.

“It’s too early to draw conclusions,” Ao Fengfeng snorted coldly.

“Oh? Does Ao Lie have another ace up his sleeve?” the crowd asked in surprise.

“Just watch and you’ll see.”

The moment Ao Fengfeng finished speaking, Ao Lie, inside the crystal, let out a sudden, long roar. Pure Dragon’s Roars echoed from within his body as his form suddenly swelled from over a thousand feet to more than three thousand.

“I know what it is. It must be the Bloodline Evolution Technique,” Gu Huaying said.

During the Celestial Treasure Auction, the Bloodline Evolution Technique was sold for a high price and was ultimately acquired by the Flood Dragon Clan.

Ao Lie’s current state was a clear sign that he had successfully cultivated the Bloodline Evolution Technique.

Now that his body had grown even larger, he was no smaller than the Desert Giant. With an incredibly agile swish of his body, he shot toward the Desert Giant.

Immediately, his enormous body, like that of a giant python, coiled around the Desert Giant, loop by loop.

“ROAR!”

Ao Lie let out a long roar, mustering all of his Physical Power. His body tightened its coils bit by bit, and under this assault, the Desert Giant began to crumble.

This process lasted for a long time. After dozens of breaths, the Desert Giant finally collapsed completely.

Ao Lie, however, was completely exhausted. With a THUD, he fell from the sky onto the desert, unable to move another inch.

“Did he pass?”

Everyone stared intently at the crystal. If the Desert Giant wasn’t dead after that, Ao Lie would be eliminated.

But after a long time, the Desert Giant did not reappear.

“Ao Lie passed.”

Everyone was shocked. For prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List like Lin Jue, it was a particularly bitter pill to swallow. This meant Ao Lie had now left them in the dust.

“Quick, look at Chu Xinghun.”

Another crystal erupted with a blinding light.

Inside, Chu Xinghun was shrouded in layers of starlight. This light enveloped him, making him as dazzling as a star.

He was one of the two titans of the Hidden Dragon List, after all. Even though Ning Jiang had stolen the Power of Stars from within him, his own inherent strength was still formidable.

When he fought Gu Huaying, he had suppressed her without even activating his Power of Stars, which was a testament to his might.

“Burn!”

Chu Xinghun roared, activating a Secret Technique. His entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit erupted.

At that moment, he was like a falling star, crashing viciously into the Desert Giant.

BOOM!

Before he even hit, the immense pressure caused the sand on the Desert Giant’s body to start breaking apart. When he truly fell and struck the Desert Giant, the entire creature disintegrated in an instant, turning into countless grains of yellow sand.

“Chu Xinghun passed too.”

The crowd exclaimed in shock. Just like Ao Lie, Chu Xinghun had also used up all his strength and lay motionless on the desert floor.

“I wonder how Gu Weidao is doing? He’s supposed to be on par with Chu Xinghun.”

People looked toward another crystal. Inside, Gu Weidao and the Desert Giant were locked in a bitter struggle. After observing for a moment, the crowd keenly noticed that Gu Weidao had reached his limit.

“If Gu Weidao doesn’t pull out an ace soon, he’s going to lose.”

The crowd still had some expectations for Gu Weidao.

But to their disappointment, after more than a dozen breaths, Gu Weidao was defeated and teleported out of the Linglong Tower.

“Gu Weidao relied too much on that Quasi-Innate Spiritual Treasure in the past. His ability to become one of the two titans of the Hidden Dragon List was largely due to that Quasi-Innate Spiritual Treasure.”

“Over-reliance on Magical Treasures is not the true path, after all. It’s only natural that Gu Weidao would be defeated.”

The crowd voiced their opinions.

Hearing their words, Gu Weidao couldn’t help but clench his fists. He knew what they said was true, but his hatred for Ning Jiang burned even hotter. If not for Ning Jiang taking his Quasi-Innate Spiritual Treasure, he definitely would have had a chance to pass the seventh level.

“Are the two great veteran experts going to lose too?”

The Ten Great Earth Martial Realms experts gathered around two crystals, their eyes filled with regret.

The two crystals they were watching contained two old men. These two were figures on par with the White-robed Swordsman. Among the Ten Great Earth Martial Realms, it was widely believed they were the strongest three.

But now, both of them were being beaten back steadily by the Desert Giant, unable to gain any advantage.

Not long after, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and the two senior figures were both teleported out of the Linglong Tower.

“The prodigies of the Hidden Dragon List, Ao Lie and Chu Xinghun, both succeeded. The ones left are that Ning Jiang and the mysterious Xuanyuan Bi’an. As for us Ten Great Earth Martial Realms, only the White-robed Swordsman is still inside. Can it be true that the new generation surpasses the old? Are we old-timers destined to be eliminated by the young ones?”

One of the Ten Great Earth Martial Realms sighed, his heart filled with indignation.

“Sigh, what is there to say? The student surpasses the master. This is the law of every era. The prodigies of the Hidden Dragon List are indeed gradually surpassing us.”

Someone said with a bitter smile, “I hope the White-robed Swordsman can pass the seventh level and save some face for us. Otherwise, if all Ten Great Earth Martial Realms are defeated, it’ll be a real joke.”

All eyes, filled with expectation, turned to the crystal where the White-robed Swordsman was.

The White-robed Swordsman lived up to his name. He wore his signature white robes and looked quite dashing. The sword in his hand burst forth with rays of Sword Aura, continuously leaving wounds on the Desert Giant, but these wounds would disappear in the blink of an eye.

“Kill!”

After hundreds of strikes, the White-robed Swordsman no longer held back and completely erupted with power.

His body was filled with sharp Sword Qi as he shot into the sky, every strand of his hair standing on end like a sword. He gripped his sword with both hands and slashed out a massive Sword Aura thousands of feet long. This strike, seemingly powerful enough to split heaven and earth, was unstoppable and successfully annihilated the Desert Giant.

“It seems the only way to kill this Desert Giant is to use absolute power to annihilate it.”

Everyone was startled. After unleashing that strike, the White-robed Swordsman was also panting for breath, clearly having expended a huge amount of energy.

「Meanwhile, on the other side.」

Of everyone there, Ning Jiang was having the easiest time by far. From beginning to end, he never engaged in fierce combat with the Desert Giant. His figure flickered through the air, and no matter how the Desert Giant attacked, it couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes.

“Found the weak spot.” At this moment, the corner of Ning Jiang’s mouth curled into a smile.
