Chapter 230: Critical Point.
With the Extinction Dragon no longer drawing attention in the sky, the Míng Dēng Lóng began focusing its energy into limb strength.
Claws dug into the heat-melted golden skirt armor of the Glittering Dragon, exploding with the glow of Nether fire as it peeled away.
The two Ultra-Large Monsters wrestled, while Jié Jié, after lowering his angle enough, leaped upward, latching onto the neck of the Míng Dēng Lóng.
One claw tightened, embedding itself into the gelatinous shell, while the other gathered force to pierce deeper.
He was penetrating deep into the neck of the Míng Dēng Lóng, but lacking leverage on her body and with her long neck constantly shaking.
It had to be pinned to the ground.
After leaving a deep scar, Jié Jié fell from the air.
Meanwhile, the Glittering Dragon also struggled to stay upright, flipping over and taking the Míng Dēng Lóng with her.
“Grunt!!!”
Dì Mǔ Shén rose first, roaring in anger as the broken golden skirt armor was freed. She wildly swung her head, her massive curled horns smashing into the body of the Míng Dēng Lóng like hammers.
“Hiss.”
Jié Jié watched the imposing silhouette of the Glittering Dragon pinning down the Míng Dēng Lóng, slightly clicking his tongue before planning to strike her neck from the side.
Freed from the heavy golden shell, the Glittering Dragon’s speed and power were unleashed. The gelatinous shell of the Míng Dēng Lóng continuously shattered and regenerated.
Her chest core emitted light, wavering as the Glittering Dragon’s attacks destabilized it.
What seemed like waver was just an illusion caused by the rapid flicker of light!
The young dragon’s limbs once again splashed with Nether flames, but the crimson light at her chest refused to subside. She slowly stood up under the Glittering Dragon’s assault.
Bending her long neck, short bursts of light cannons shot out, stiffening the Glittering Dragon’s movements.
Light flowed from her body, illuminating the entire collapsing underground cavern like rivers flowing through every crack.
Critical Activation!
Pushing the Glittering Dragon away, the Míng Dēng Lóng unleashed a critical breath weapon, transforming into a beam aimed directly at the nearby energy source.
Even without eyes, she could sense various energy waves, aligning her own energy trajectory towards this source.
And that source was Jié Jié.
“Damn!”
Seeing the swirling light in the Míng Dēng Lóng’s mouth, Jié Jié, who hadn’t reached his attack position yet, cursed and jumped aside.
The Míng Dēng Lóng’s breath weapon was highly unstable, and he trusted his senses about what was coming.
The ground cracked, sending rocks flying into the sky.
Jié Jié spun mid-air, black thorns piercing through the dust, then through the light beyond it.
The light flowed along his Black Thorns, reflecting repeatedly before being thrust back into the Míng Dēng Lóng emitting the light.
The Míng Dēng Lóng shook.
“So you’re the only one who can go berserk, huh?”
Jié Jié roared. After consuming the Flame King Dragon, his body was filled with energy waiting to be digested, which would allow him to take the form of a seasoned Extinction Dragon.
But now, that energy was being crudely extracted for physical performance.
There was no lack of energy, only strength.
And still, he couldn’t outrun the beam, but he could outpace the neck swinging it.
Black thorns shattered against the neck of the Míng Dēng Lóng, revealing small white points.
White Thorns?
No, they were spines with colors resembling Dragon Crystals.
As if abundant Earth Pulse Energy crystallized into Dragon Crystals, his skin was doing the same.
Apparently, with energy burning both inside and out, something special was happening within the Extinction Dragon.
Evolution is always a process; there were no immediate results yet.
The young dragon was pinned down, her alluring Nether flames continuously bursting against his body.
With enhanced healing, his nails grew longer, easily breaking through the gelatinous shell, leaving behind wounds that gushed energy.
Twisting his body, Jié Jié pulled a long vertical wound across the neck of the Míng Dēng Lóng.
A sharp tail spine swept past as he stood upright, raising his claws high before slamming them down.
Claw pierced through the shell, pressing further.
Sky Spine Strike!
Sharp spines shot from his arms, piercing outward from within.
The body of the Míng Dēng Lóng trembled under the heavy blows, her long neck thrashing wildly, her forelimbs struggling to counterattack, pushing Jié Jié back before stamping down hard.
She was stepping on him to stand up, Nether fire blazing alongside her wings.
Jié Jié’s body sank slightly, the rock layer beneath his claws squeezing as he pressed down.
The Míng Dēng Lóng kept exerting force, ignoring the spikes all over Jié Jié, bending her neck over him.
The light coursing through her neck was clearly visible, and Jié Jié saw the spines he had embedded shatter instantly.
Oh no, my unborn children, I thought I gave you a good spot to shoot out from—
Jié Jié wasn’t tense. Just a light cannon, take it or leave it, perfect opportunity to pretend death and regroup.
Calculating the timing, the Glittering Dragon should have initiated another counterattack by now.
Just as he thought he’d be blasted away, the Míng Dēng Lóng redirected her neck upward. The surging blue energy beam was even more unstable than before, some Nether fire radiating out directly.
The recoil of the beam caused the front limbs pinning him to slip off, releasing the pressure.
Looking in the direction the beam was fired, the Glittering Dragon appeared like a massive bulldozer, lowering her head and charging against the beam.
Jié Jié saw her neck scales breaking and scattering like the carapace of a steamed crab.
The limbs bent into the ground sprang up, bringing explosions and shattered rocks with them.
The young dragon’s head was directly slammed aside, the continuous energy flow causing an explosion in her mouth.
The beam cut off, revealing the battered neck of the Glittering Dragon. Her charge accelerated, and Jié Jié flapped his wings, landing elsewhere to decide whether to fake death.
Only the staggering Míng Dēng Lóng remained in place, completely defenseless against the impending impact from the Glittering Dragon.
“Boom!”
The massive body of the Míng Dēng Lóng was hurled away, crashing into the edge of the cave, raising a cloud of dust.
The Glittering Dragon panted heavily.
The glow emanating from the Míng Dēng Lóng penetrated the dust, outlining her fallen figure.
Jié Jié didn’t even crouch before his limbs unleashed their power, charging toward the fallen Míng Dēng Lóng to deliver the finishing blow.
Another dark silhouette emerged impatiently from the rubble—it was the Extinction Dragon, who had been pretending to be dead for half the battle, now far calmer than before.
Jié Jié didn’t care; he didn’t think the Míng Dēng Lóng was ready to submit.
Both Extinction Dragons broke through the dust, each leaping onto the body of the Míng Dēng Lóng, creating wounds in their own ways, initiating their feeding frenzy.
