Chapter 229: The Wavering Nether Flames.
What’s it like to be hit by Míng Dēng Lóng’s critical Breath Weapon?
It’s like being hit by a train, but far worse than that.
Earth Pulse Energy, heat, and Dragon Attribute Energy were all condensed into a thick azure beam, propelled forward by a terrifying Impact force.
The point of impact was still exploding; the violent Collision caused the various elements within the beam to explode outward and seep into whatever it struck.
It felt absolutely terrible.
Wherever the attack landed, White Thorns shattered completely. The intruding Dragon Attribute Energy clashed with the internal energy balance, disrupting the energy cycle and causing the body to lose control.
And the composition of this breath was extremely unstable, just like Míng Dēng Lóng’s unstable critical state.
A cobalt flame roared fiercely across her form, breaking through her Deficient wings to create an invisible pair of ethereal wings.
As if it were Nether Fire.
Her elongated neck allowed for a wide range of Breath attacks, though she often stumbled herself due to the recoil, causing the Breath to abruptly cut off or wildly twist out of control.
Through the gaps between the Breaths, Jié Jié once again broke through beneath Míng Dēng Lóng.
A Rising Dragon Fist could make the Breath rise upward.
Not far away, Glittering Dragon’s chest began to flash, recovering from its brief unconsciousness. A sudden Heat Wave Breath shot toward Míng Dēng Lóng.
The fiery trajectory embedded itself into the gelatinous Shell without causing even a ripple.
Míng Dēng Lóng’s body was already scorching hot.
After the Rising Dragon Fist, Jié Jié moved to Míng Dēng Lóng’s side, staring at her chest glowing red.
The chest was very translucent, clearly thinner than the back.
He soared forward, directly slamming her into a stumble.
His claws pierced her side chest, piercing through the thin gelatinous Shell as he pushed forward.
Tear!
Even for an Ultra-Large Monster, this wound would be considered severe bleeding, yet no dragon blood flowed out—only cobalt light surged forth, blooming like flowers.
Energy was pouring out.
In her Extinction Dragon form, the urge to feed grew stronger with each passing moment, wishing nothing more than to bury herself in Míng Dēng Lóng’s chest and feast.
But Míng Dēng Lóng’s Counterattack had already arrived. The red light in her chest dimmed slightly while blue light flared at her limbs’ extremities.
An arm raised high, her staggering body twisted around, locking onto Jié Jié’s energy source before smashing down heavily.
Jié Jié dodged by pushing his limbs backward, while Míng Dēng Lóng’s glowing arm plunged directly into the ground under immense force.
“Boom!”
The fractured ground lit up faintly, erupting with cobalt Nether Fire.
Míng Dēng Lóng bent her head, only for the Nether Fire to be pierced through by the Impact.
A fleeting Breath streaked past, igniting flames upon hitting the ground.
But after dodging the attack, Jié Jié leaped up, catching sight of the Breath streaking by.
He was diving straight toward Míng Dēng Lóng’s head.
Unlike her body, Míng Dēng Lóng’s forehead skin did not glow transparently and was far harder than the rest of her.
However, as the terminal part of a limb, her mouth frequently emitted Light Cannons, shining brighter with cobalt light before fading after one cannon fired.
The dive seemed to stretch infinitely. Just as Jié Jié was about to touch her head, Míng Dēng Lóng’s face lit up again with flowing energy.
Another Short-lived Light Cannon streaked past, striking the chest of the Extinction Dragon who was about to press down on her head.
The close-range blast, undiminished, sent him flying, crashing into the Ruins.
“Grunt Roar!”
Glittering Dragon’s roar turned Míng Dēng Lóng’s body around. The light on her limbs subsided, while the red glow in her chest intensified again.
A brilliant azure beam streaked through, directly hitting Glittering Dragon’s massive body.
Jié Jié flipped upright, flapping his wings to fly out of the rubble pile. He saw Dì Mǔ Shén struggling under the beam, unable to take a single step.
Glittering Dragon’s enormous size couldn’t be launched away, and the end of the beam kept exploding continuously on her body.
There was no way to dodge this; for however long Míng Dēng Lóng breathed, she would have to endure it fully, taking full damage.
This wouldn’t do. They were teammates now, and he needed to help.
Black Thorns were visibly growing on his arms. With a beat of his wings, he dove downward.
Lifting his arms to gather power, he struck them down just before reaching Míng Dēng Lóng’s head, unleashing a terrifying Impact.
Thorn-Breaking Extinction Sky Spin!
Míng Dēng Lóng’s head was struck, and her Breath followed suit, descending along with her closing mouth. Before the explosion at the end of the Breath reached her closed jaws, it spread all the way forward.
But Jié Jié had already glided along the side of her head, tearing open a trail of scars, with broken Black Thorns embedding themselves into her flesh.
His black wings, resembling a cloak, swept over the ground, creating a slight ripple as Jié Jié slid gracefully, turned around, and looked over the fallen Míng Dēng Lóng toward Glittering Dragon.
Vision is a peculiar thing; two lines of sight always attract each other, transmitting some emotional signals through the window to the other.
Cooperation.
Having her major damage interrupted, Glittering Dragon roared, regrouping. The first half seemed like a response to him, the latter turning toward Míng Dēng Lóng to display hostility.
Dì Mǔ Shén, dragging her nearly shattered golden skirt armor, charged toward Míng Dēng Lóng, who was raising her head.
Jié Jié flew up, giving her space, then glanced at another potential teammate on the field.
Compared to him, the other Extinction Dragon wasn’t in good shape, paying the price for earlier madness and pretending to be dead to recover strength.
When he looked back at the main battlefield, Glittering Dragon had already rushed to Míng Dēng Lóng, slamming the young dragon against the wall corner.
Jié Jié understood why the surface collapsed and how Míng Dēng Lóng managed to stay hidden in the corner without being knocked out—she’d been pinned against the wall the whole time.
Breath was wildly sweeping upwards.
He skillfully dodged in the air, trying to get closer to strike Míng Dēng Lóng’s head.
But the Breath was being emitted from Míng Dēng Lóng’s head; the closer he got, the less room there was to evade, and it seemed he was locked on.
Moreover… She used Glittering Dragon’s body to improve the angle of her beam, achieving the opposite of leveling anti-aircraft guns—main cannons aimed skyward.
Glittering Dragon was continuously ramming Míng Dēng Lóng, pinning the young dragon against the wall, making it tremble repeatedly. The beam started interrupting into unstable Light Cannons.
It was meaningless; Míng Dēng Lóng’s head was swaying toward him, and the Light Cannon could still send him flying.
Jié Jié had to abandon the idea of attacking the front of her head. After barely dodging Míng Dēng Lóng’s attack, he approached from a lower angle.
Don’t let go of that young dragon, let me handle it!
He wished he also had a colossal size to pin Míng Dēng Lóng against the wall!
That way, he could directly control Míng Dēng Lóng’s neck!
