Chapter 477: Obtaining the Fragments
Chapter 477: Obtaining the Fragments
Zogsoz's panic lasted only a fleeting moment before his thoughts and rationality returned, but the feeling of powerlessness suppressed by his bloodline remained inescapable.
His strength had been weakened.
His reactions were sluggish, his stellar power slowed, and all his ability to perform exotic skills was interfered with.
His once formidable strength had diminished to less than half.
"The Primordial Dragon Vein!"
He finally understood the effect of the Primordial Dragon Vein, but before the thought could fully form in his mind, Ji Xinghuo's figure flashed before him, having teleported out of the kill range of the gravity bomb and counterattacked!
It was as if every step had been calculated.
The distance between the two was less than ten meters.
For a Tier 6 powerhouse, this was almost like having their faces pressed together. Zogsoz clearly saw his enemy, a human with a pair of peculiar pupils.
The right pupil had a faint ring of light at its edge, seeing through all things, while the left pupil was filled with a dusky glow, as if it could devour everything.
At this moment, both eyes exuded a dark golden glow.
Majestic! Ancient! Terrifying!
Ji Xinghuo exuded the same aura of the Primordial Dragon Vein as the Annihilator Dragon, which, combined with the aura of doom, doubly suppressed Zogsoz. His tall body trembled like chaff, and the deep-bone marrow-penetrating dragon vein made it hard for him to resist.
However, Zogsoz's consciousness soon cleared, as mental hackers were most adept at controlling their minds.
While his mental will was normal, his body was helplessly drawn towards the center of the dark energy vortex and couldn't break free.
Buzz!
As Ji Xinghuo teleported, the Jade Ring was already in his hand, and he immediately activated it.
A void prison enveloped them both.
A transparent barrier with a diameter of 100 meters separated the world into inside and outside, and within the prison were only Ji Xinghuo and Zogsoz.
Qinghong, having been warned beforehand, had already teleported away, brandishing his Claw of Air-Rending and pouncing on the Void Kun Dragon in the sky. With his body, he forcefully endured the Void Dragon's Breath, the gravity fields canceling each other out as he grappled with the Void Kun Dragon in midair.
Jiujyu, attached to Ji Xinghuo's body, activated her Dark Avatar.
Doomsday hovered in the air, its mouth brewing a ball of dark golden light, preparing to spew a beam of annihilation.
Zogsoz was like an insect frozen in amber, able to move slowly but not much faster than a snail's pace.
He was bewildered and shocked.
The Void Prison, an exotic ability he was certainly aware of, was the Void Kun Dragon's most powerful signature move. But his own Void Kun Dragon had only reached the Flood Dragon level and had not yet awakened the Void Prison, nor did he possess that ability himself. Yet, here was his enemy, wielding it with mastery.
Six seconds!
In the first second within the Void Prison, Ji Xinghuo entered his giant form, his body towering over five meters tall with electricity coursing around him, and his eyes flashing with electric light.
Great transformation, overload, electromagnetic vibration!
Dark Avatar!
Wisps of dusky light flowed on Ji Xinghuo's skin, and he gripped the Thunderstorm Sword in his hand. The 9,999 fragments exploded, and substantial electromagnetic stellar power poured into the sword body, condensing into a 10-meter-long giant sword that spewed dazzling electric light.
This consumed nearly two seconds.
As Ji Xinghuo prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Zogsoz, his eight shadow clones were also hard at work.
They all pointed a finger at the sky.
Rumbling...
Huge bolts of lightning shot up into the sky and disappeared into the clouds. The next second, the thunderclouds exploded, and hundreds of lightning bolts ripped through the air, striking the exotic beings surrounding the Black Palace like divine punishment.
These exotic beings were all slaves of Zogsoz, providing him with power enhancement and sharing the damage he received.
To kill the commander, one must first take out the commander's subordinates.
There were over two thousand exotic beings, most of them below Tier 5, with only a dozen legends among them. They were slaves that Zogsoz had captured in the Abyss and had been mentally controlled for many years. In this secret realm, they were unable to grow stronger and instead regressed.
Within the Void Kun Dragon's gravity field, the exotic beings' speed decreased significantly, making it difficult for them to dodge.
The lightning struck.
The lightning continuously jumped from one exotic being to another, causing multiple casualties. In just the first round, two to three hundred exotic beings were killed by the lightning.
Zogsoz's aura weakened further, and his strength diminished.
More lightning bolts struck.
Rumbling...
Amid the thunder, Ji Xinghuo swung his giant sword and slashed at Zogsoz's head. Within the Void Prison, his actions were unaffected, while Zogsoz could only watch helplessly as the giant sword slashed towards him.
The Reverse Dragon Armor appeared outside Zogsoz's body, blocking the sword light, but it made no sound within the Void Prison.
The tip of the giant sword shattered.
Fragments of the Thunderstorm Sword flew in the Void Prison, but this sword had already broken through the defense of the Reverse Dragon Armor.
The dragon scale patterns flickered and could not regroup.
Ji Xinghuo let the sword blade fragments fly wildly, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he punched through the opening in the Reverse Dragon Armor that had been slashed open, unleashing an electric light spiral punch. All his power, stellar might, and electricity were concentrated into this one punch, without holding back.
Zogsoz's chest caved in, his entire body trembled, and the spiral punch could be clearly seen conducting through his body. His bluish-gray, oily skin undulated like the surface of a lake, and his entire body seemed to have deformed.
However, within the Void Prison, he was not knocked flying.
He remained in place!
There were still two seconds left on the Void Prison, and the shadow clones unleashed two more rounds of lightning storms, killing half of the surrounding slave exotic beings.
Zogsoz's strength had been weakened to less than 30%.
Ji Xinghuo unleashed five consecutive punches.
Each punch was a full-force electric light spiral punch, solidly slamming into Zogsoz's body, like pounding a sandbag, unleashing all his power without reservation.
At that moment, the Void Prison ended.
As the transparent barrier disappeared, the five electric light spiral punches within Zogsoz's body erupted in full force.
Boom!
The giant's body was ravaged beyond recognition, its bones and flesh pulverized into a bloody mess.
Such a severe injury left him unable to put up any resistance.
The annihilation beam pierced through Zogsoz's octopus head.
Rumbling...
Zogsoz's head instantly vaporized, and the annihilation beam shot through, hitting the ground and causing a massive explosion that blasted his body to bits, with the shockwave sweeping the surrounding area and leaving a hundred-meter-wide crater.
From a distance, Ji Xinghuo calmly observed, his face devoid of any relaxation.
There was no spiritual source energy prompt.
Ji Xinghuo was not surprised, as the Myriad Phenomenon Forest God had foreseen this outcome ten seconds ago. He reached out with his right hand, and the fragments of the Thunderstorm Sword, like moths to a flame, flew out from the explosion and reassembled into a giant sword.
The sword light soared towards the sky, growing larger.
A visible giant electromagnetic field enveloped the surroundings, with Ji Xinghuo's body serving as one pole of the magnetic field and the giant sword as the other.
Electromagnetic stellar power poured wildly into the giant sword, growing stronger with the wind, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-long sword that exuded dazzling electric light.
The sword light descended from the heavens.
9,999 fragments, like stars, were embedded in the giant sword, bursting forth with dazzling currents, and the sword tip pointed towards an empty spot on the ground.
A faint outline appeared and quickly took shape—it was Zogsoz.
His body transformed from an illusion into a tangible resurrection.
Snap.
A gray gem dropped from Zogsoz's grasp, shattering into countless specks of dust and turning to ashes.
Ji Xinghuo didn't know what this object was, but he could tell that it had saved Zogsoz's life once, and the Myriad Phenomenon Forest God had foreseen this and calculated the timing to strike with the sword.
Having just resurrected from annihilation, Zogsoz was still weak and remained suppressed by the Primordial Dragon Vein.
His slaves were also almost completely annihilated.
In the blink of an eye, just as he was resurrected, even before he could comprehend the situation, the Thunderstorm Giant Sword chopped down on him.
The Reverse Dragon Armor appeared once more but was evidently severely damaged and could only withstand the blow for a moment before collapsing like paper. The giant sword pierced through Zogsoz's octopus head and impaled him from head to toe, nailing him to the ground.
Boom!
The Thunderstorm Sword dispersed into a flood of lightning, ravaging the enemy beneath the sword.
Countless fragments sliced through Zogsoz, and all the damage he received was shared with his slave exotic beings through the life link, preventing his immediate death. However, this massive continuous damage devastated the slaves.
One by one, the slave exotic beings perished while attempting to evade the lightning.
The number of exotic slaves dwindled rapidly.
Zogsoz's aura weakened further, and within ten seconds, all the slaves on the island had perished.
There were other islands in the secret realm, and some of the slaves had not arrived in time.
Yet, they, too, dropped dead one after another.
However, Zogsoz stubbornly clung to life, and no matter how severe his injuries were, they began to heal, though he was left incapable of fighting back.
Ji Xinghuo looked up at the Void Kun Dragon in the sky and understood what was happening.
He had formed a life link with the Void Kun Dragon.
Like other Void Kun Dragon masters in the world, he was drawing life force from his own Void Kun Dragon, and as long as the dragon lived, so would its master.
Zogsoz's Void Kun Dragon was merely at the Flood Dragon level, a young dragon whose strength was not exceptional, and it had not even awakened the Void Prison. Qinghong easily restrained it, and with the suppression of the Primordial Dragon Vein, it couldn't aid its master.
Ji Xinghuo had originally intended to spare this Void Kun Dragon.
After all, it was a rare divine dragon species, and perhaps he could cultivate it himself. Now, that seemed impossible.
Moreover, this young Void Kun Dragon had evidently been imprinted with a mental seal, becoming Zogsoz's slave, and it was highly unlikely that it would recognize a new master.
"Doomsday," Ji Xinghuo signaled to Doomsday while suppressing Zogsoz.
Without hesitation, Doomsday, who had been brewing a second annihilation beam in its mouth, turned its head and aimed at the Void Kun Dragon.
Ji Xinghuo raised his hand and created a dark energy vortex above the Void Kun Dragon, pulling it towards the center, trapping it and rendering it unable to escape.
As a divine dragon species itself, Doomsday showed no hesitation.
The annihilation beam immediately shot out, piercing through the Void Kun Dragon's head.
A mournful cry echoed through the sky.
The massive body of the Void Kun Dragon, which had been floating in mid-air, fell to the ground, crushing half of the Black Palace beneath it. Almost simultaneously, Zogsoz, whose life link had been severed, let out a silent scream of agony.
The Thunderstorm Sword light sliced him into a thousand pieces, dismembering his limbs, tentacles, and head, turning him into a pile of minced meat.
[Spiritual Source Energy +48324]
Ji Xinghuo saw the prompt in his field of vision, confirming that the enemy was truly dead.
However, he paid no heed to the spiritual source energy.
Ji Xinghuo teleported in front of Zogsoz's corpse, sifted through the shattered meat of a tentacle, and retrieved a dimensional space ring. Upon probing it with his consciousness, a monocular telescope appeared in his hand.
The second fragment of the Myriad Phenomenon Star Pupil was finally in his possession!
