Chapter 631: Chapter 480: Thunder Saber Strikes Foe, Ice God Treasure Vault_2

The monster staggered and roared, swinging its giant palm to strike again.

Seeing this, Qin Tian flapped his great wings, retreating dozens of meters.

Boom!

The giant palm hit nothing, causing the frozen ground to collapse into a deep pit.

Before the monster could withdraw its hand, Qin Tian flashed to its side, the blade light fell again, this time cutting into the gap between the monster’s waist scales. Purple electricity seeped in through the crevice, and the monster let out a muffled grunt, turning to grab at Qin Tian, only to catch a mere afterimage.

In the next dozen moves, Qin Tian moved like a ghost, rapidly circling the monster.

The monster’s giant palms and tail spikes attacked in succession, each carrying a world-destroying momentum, yet Qin Tian managed to narrowly evade by leveraging the speed boost from the Demon King’s Wings—sometimes sliding past the monster’s gigantic legs, slashing at its joints; sometimes flying to its shoulder, the blade passing over its beastly head, purple electricity scorching its eyelids.

The monster couldn’t even graze the hem of Qin Tian’s robe, only to roar furiously, as the black aura billowed more intensely, its scales slightly rising in anger, yet unable to rid itself of this “black mosquito.”

“Roar—!”

Finally, the monster was utterly enraged.

Its enormous body suddenly trembled violently, black aura churning like boiling water, bones crackling, and its height of over twenty meters rapidly dwindled before the naked eye—in an instant, it shrank to about three meters.

Oddly though, the ice monument above its head did not shrink, maintaining its half-meter width, looking rather comical as if it were carrying a sign.

“It has a second form; are you Frieza?”

Qin Tian twitched at the corner of his mouth, the next moment, the monster charged forward.

After shrinking, the monster’s speed soared, its claws shrouded in black aura lunging at Qin Tian, the speed much faster than before.

He flapped the Demon King’s Wings, pushing his speed to the limit, retreating while swinging his blade at the pouncing monster.

“Clang clang clang—”

The Black Frost Blade clashed relentlessly with the monster’s claws, purple lightning tangled with black aura, sparks and arcs scattered in all directions.

The monster’s claws were sharp as Divine Weapons, possessing immense strength, and each clash made Qin Tian’s arms tingle slightly.

Meanwhile, Qin Tian’s blade moved as fast as lightning, each strike accurately hitting the gaps in the monster’s scales. Though it didn’t cause severe injuries, it made the monster continuously bleed, triggering the Immortal Battle Body’s Blood Fury effect.

(Blood Fury: Heaven Burning—the lower the Life Value, the greater the attack, speed, and defense boosts can be, up to 300%; when causing bleeding damage to a target, 30% of its Qi and Blood are absorbed for oneself for Super Speed regeneration (stackable), while applying the Immortal Blood Curse: each bleeding strike deals 5% of maximum Life Value as true damage, stacking up to 8 layers.)

True damage ignores defense, and being a percentage of maximum Life Value, it can reach up to 40%, a horrifically high number.

However, most High Tier Spiritualists possess strong self-recovery abilities, coupled with protection from Spiritual Artifacts, making it difficult to severely injure them through Blood Fury alone.

Take Karen for example, with mastery over blood magic, and pre-stored Essence Blood Spiritual Pearl, she can quickly recover before getting severely injured. Alaya, from previous battles, relied on various Spiritual Artifacts to heal her injuries.

Even though the monster on the opposite side lacked the protection of Spiritual Artifacts, its recovery ability was exceedingly robust, but as it got injured over and over by Qin Tian, it became increasingly enraged, constantly roaring.

In the distance on the snowy plains, Karen hid behind a massive ice rock, staring intently at the battlefield, his eyes filled with shock as he saw the intensifying battle between Qin Tian and the monster.

As a Tier Six Eight Star of the Holy Blood direct lineage, with the eerie power of blood magic, ordinary Tier Seven Spiritualists were no match for him, only Tier Seven high stage Golden Bloodline guardians posed a threat.

Yet, facing this monster, capable of shrinking its body, with speed and defense, he knew his only option was to flee.

Yet Qin Tian, a non-Holy Blood Spiritualist, could contend with such a monster with only Tier Six power, even slightly gaining the upper hand.

Karen tightened his grip on the Magic Staff, his dark red eyes filled with disbelief and jealousy:

“What kind of monster is he? Lacking Holy Blood lineage, how could he possess such formidable strength?”

At the center of the battlefield, Qin Tian and the monster’s battle grew increasingly intense.

Boom!

The monster’s left claw swept across, black aura like a blade threatening Qin Tian’s throat, the claw wind stinging his cheek.

Qin Tian lightly tapped the ground, using the lift from the Demon King’s Wings to float backward by three meters, while reversing the Black Frost Blade to slash, purple electricity traced an arc along the blade, accurately striking the monster’s claw tip.

With a crisp “clang,” the monster’s claws were slightly knocked aside, the black aura on the claw tip sizzled as purple electricity burned, leaving a faint white mark.

Before Qin Tian could regain his footing, the monster suddenly whipped its bony tail like a steel whip towards him.

Qin Tian sidestepped and spun to avoid it, the tail brushed past his robe, smashing heavily onto the frozen ground, scattering a spray of rubble.

He seized the opportunity to close in, the Black Frost Blade stabbing at the monster’s chest scales, purple electricity gathered at the blade tip, but the monster dodged in time, leaving only a shallow score on the scales.

“So agile.” Qin Tian’s eyes flickered, continuing to advance with blade in hand.

At this moment, the monster suddenly opened its mouth, spewing a cloud of thick black mist, shrouded with tiny black spikes, aimed at Qin Tian’s face.

Qin Tian gripped the Black Frost Blade tightly, no longer hesitating, and detonated the two marks left secretly on the monster simultaneously.

Boom~

The Overlord Mark on its chest erupted first, an invisible shockwave spread across the monster’s scales, the once iron-hard black scales instantly cracked with dense lines, appearing like porcelain with cracks.
