"Damn it! Even if this girl is on the same level as me, without her clan mark, she's probably already at her last gasp!"
Logically speaking, Ling Xuanmo's judgment should be accurate, but Zi Yan cannot be judged by common sense.
The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit within her body was far from being fully absorbed; the remaining energy still lingered. In battle, this manifested as Zi Yan continuously absorbing this energy, growing stronger with each fight. While this state couldn't continue indefinitely, it was far from reaching its limit. Ling Xuanmo was unaware that his secret plans were destined to fail.
"Then let me test her condition again!"
As soon as Ling Xuanmo raised his hand, the space began to tremble violently.
A massive, dazzling golden seal, exuding an overwhelming aura, materialized out of thin air. As the seal hummed, it continuously compressed the surrounding space. This was one of Ling Xuanmo's most proficient fighting techniques.
After observing and evaluating the golden seal, Xiao Yan made a decision and took the initiative to summon back the several strange flames that had transformed into glaze beasts.
"Ling Xuanmo's strength has already declined. Huo Zhi, now is the time for us to make our move!" Xiao Yan's tone carried a long-suppressed excitement.
Then Xiao Yan, along with Huo Zhi, flew together to Zi Yan's side.
Zi Yan was concentrating on gathering her strength to prepare to confront the golden seal head-on when she sensed Xiao Yan approaching. Thinking he was worried about her condition, she said, "Xiao Yan, don't worry, I can handle it. You guys step back a bit to avoid being caught in the crossfire!"
Xiao Yan shook his head and said directly to Zi Yan, "There's no need to fight any longer. Now is our chance. Let's go all out and kill him together!"
Zi Yan and Ling Xuanmo fought fiercely for a long time. Although Zi Yan gained some advantage by relying on the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, the two were essentially evenly matched. Zi Yan knew the strength of her opponent, and she was naturally very excited that Xiao Yan now had a plan to kill Ling Xuanmo.
"Okay, tell me, what should we do?"
"Don't rush, we..."
Seeing Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi unable to contain themselves and come to Zi Yan's side, Ling Xuanmo was not surprised but delighted. This meant that his judgment was correct; the ancient dragon before him was indeed exhausted, and Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi's arrival together gave him the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
"Celestial-Rank Battle Technique, Profound Clarity Golden Seal!"
Once the golden seal was fully formed, it was a full ten zhang in size. Ling Xuanmo raised his hand and pressed it down. It appeared huge and heavy, but its speed was extremely fast, tearing through the sky as if it were teleporting, and crashing down towards Zi Yan and Xiao Yan!
When Zi Yan saw the great seal coming, her eyes shone brightly with purple-gold light. She transformed back into the body of the Ancient Void Dragon, and a surge of purple-gold battle qi erupted from her mouth, like a sharp purple-gold spear, forcefully resisting the golden seal!
boom--
The two destructive forces, neither willing to yield, collided together.
Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi had already appeared at the dragon head part of Zi Yan.
Xiao Yan's original plan was to take advantage of the current situation where Ling Xuanmo's strength was weakened and his fighting spirit could not be sustained for long, so that the three of them could join forces to severely injure him.
The key to accomplishing this task is to have Zi Yan act as a protector for you, and then you can condense the fire lotus yourself.
But when Zi Yan truly transformed into the Ancient Void Dragon, and when Xiao Yan stood atop the Ancient Void Dragon's head, a sudden change occurred!
Xiao Yan realized that his originally stable body was starting to go out of control. His body became uncontrollably bulky, his muscles bulging, and he was full of explosive power, which was completely beyond the range of normal humans.
Fine dragon scales appeared on Xiao Yan's face, the beginnings of dragon horns appeared on his forehead, and his fingernails and toenails became thick and sharp.
Without Xiao Yan's deliberate guidance, his body passively completed the half-dragon transformation!
As Xiao Yan's body swelled, his original clothes burst open, exposing his upper body. From Xiao Yan's heart area, a bright green light emanated from his body, and powerful life force filled his entire being.
On Xiao Yan's right hand, the black devouring energy was also activated, and the deep, dark devouring power swirled silently.
Huo Zhi was originally holding Xiao Yan's hand and could immediately sense Xiao Yan's changes. At this moment, Xiao Yan was like a huge furnace, his body becoming extremely fervent, and his aura was becoming increasingly violent.
"Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you?" The violent power forced Huo Zhi to release her grip.
Unable to answer Huo Zhi's question at this moment, Xiao Yan instead looked up and roared angrily.
"roar--"
This was a non-human cry, a sound like a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens, or a phoenix's cry soaring through the skies. The two sounds strangely merged together, spreading out like sound waves with tangible energy.
Immediately following, another roar of an angry dragon was heard, this time from Zi Yan. This strange commotion also attracted the attention of others.
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan seemed to transform into a ball of light.
The five different flames he possessed simultaneously ignited on his body, and the sheer amount of energy released startled Huo Zhi beside him. She felt a pang of fear emanating from Xiao Yan's body, and her snow-white skin was stung.
In that brief moment of change, Zi Yan's resistance could no longer hold, and Ling Xuanmo's golden seal, which he had already released with all his might, had arrived.
At this moment, a tremendous change was also taking place within Zi Yan's body. She could no longer resist the energy impact of the golden seal, and the two of them could only confront this Heaven-rank fighting technique head-on!
Boom—
The enormous body of the Ancient Void Dragon collided with the swift golden seal. The massive energy impact caused huge cracks to appear in the golden seal, which was already formed from battle qi.
A terrifying energy shockwave spread out, slamming hard into Zi Yan and Xiao Yan's bodies. The energy impact was so great that Huo Zhi could no longer maintain her balance and had to retreat temporarily.
Ling Xuanmo also breathed a sigh of relief. If Zi Yan could really withstand his golden seal as she did at the beginning, or even fight back, then he would most likely be the one who couldn't hold on in the end.
However, his joy was short-lived, as the purple-gold light at the center of the golden seal explosion shone brightly once more.
"roar--"
Two distinct roars suddenly resounded, and Zi Yan's enormous dragon body reappeared. Xiao Yan, standing calmly atop the dragon's head, even seemed to have gained more power than before!
They had just withstood a Heaven-rank combat skill by force with their own bodies, and not only did they not perish, but they didn't even have a single wound on their bodies.
"This...how is this possible?!" Ling Xuanmo exclaimed in shock.
