Chapter 152: Chapter 143: Spiritual Liquid Obtained
HUMMM!
Suddenly, the droplet on the stalagmite’s tip could finally bear its weight no longer, falling in a streak of light.
"Haha!"
Seeing the droplet fall, the Black Bear let out a laugh. With a flick of his massive paw, he caught it in a jade bottle.
"Zi Tong, I’ve got the Primordial Essence Spirit Liquid. Let’s go back and split it!"
With that, the Black Bear capped the bottle, intending to tuck it away.
"Split it when we get back? I’m afraid by then, you’ll have consumed it all. Hand it over, now!"
The Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon didn’t believe the Black Bear for a second. Its massive claw shot straight for the jade bottle.
"You don’t trust me?" The Black Bear swayed aside, dodging the claw with a furious expression on his face.
"Trust you? Hmph. We’re both Ultimate Venerable Demon Beasts. Have you no shame, saying something like that? I suggest you give me my half right now. Otherwise, you’re not leaving this cave today!"
The Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon let out a cold snort, its massive jaws parting to reveal a row of sinister teeth.
"Shame? How could you think that? After hundreds of years of friendship, you dare to doubt me like this? You’re making me furious! Fine! You want it? Here!"
Hearing the accusation, the Black Bear appeared truly enraged. With a flick of his wrist, he thrust the jade bottle forward.
’Hmm?’ The Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon hadn’t expected him to be so magnanimous. Though suspicious, its claw continued moving, reaching for the jade bottle.
"You want half? Then die!"
Just as the Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon was about to take the jade bottle, the Black Bear before it suddenly roared and made its move!
He seemed to have planned this all along. The moment he moved, a massive Iron Fist materialized before the Iron Armor Dragon, as swift as a hurricane, compressing the air with a CRACKLE!
The fist flew straight for the dragon’s head, a clear attempt at a one-hit kill!
"Despicable!"
Though it knew the bear wasn’t that benevolent, the Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon never imagined its friend of several hundred years could be so ruthless, attempting a killing blow with his very first move. Its lungs nearly burst with rage. It roared as its massive tail whipped upward.
BOOM!
Stone fragments flew. The dragon and the bear were evenly matched, each forced back a single step.
"Die!"
Having blocked the Black Bear’s sneak attack, the Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon shrieked in fury. It spread its claws, which now bristled with sharp spikes, and swiped down at the Black Bear, its attack leaving two phantom afterimages in the air!
BOOM!
But the Black Bear was no pushover. His strength was immense, and after reaching the Ultimate Venerable Realm, his techniques had become innumerable. Seeing the dragon attack, his black fists flew. The sheer power was almost tangible as it surged relentlessly. The roar of the shockwaves made the entire cave reverberate with a sharp, drum-like beat.
Although the two Demon Beasts were fighting with their full strength in every exchange, none of their immense power was leaking out. If even a single sliver had escaped, the cave would have collapsed long ago.
To control such immense power and focus it into a single point of impact without the slightest leak... the control of an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse was simply terrifying.
"Hei Yan, you’re handing over the Primordial Essence Spirit Liquid today whether you like it or not! You don’t have a choice! Iron Armor Dragon Secret Technique: [Thorn Spike Impact]!"
The Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon was utterly enraged. It let out a long cry, the roar loud enough to shatter eardrums, as a jet-black horn suddenly sprouted from its massive head.
The horn was about two meters long, and its appearance alone screamed of its incredible sharpness.
"You think you’re the only one with a Secret Technique? Black Rock Armor!"
Seeing the horn sprout from its opponent’s head, a grave look entered the Black Bear’s eyes. He roared as well, his black hide groaning, "CREAK! CREAK!" In an instant, a layer of what looked like armor formed over his body.
When Demon Beasts reach the Ultimate Venerable Level, they can all comprehend Secret Techniques unique to their own specializations. Unleashing one could instantly double their combat prowess.
The Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon’s Thorn Spike Impact was clearly no simple matter. Thus, the Black Bear didn’t dare be careless and deployed his own signature skill.
"Hei Yan, we’ve fought no fewer than ten times over the past few hundred years. And while we’ve both had our victories, this time, you are guaranteed to lose!"
It seemed the Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon had long known about Hei Yan’s Black Rock Armor, for it didn’t seem to care. Instead, it let out a cold laugh. With a powerful push from its two massive hind legs, its stout draconic body shot forward, aiming its horn right at him!
Although the Iron Armor Dragon possessed a diluted bloodline of the Dragon Race, its physique was more akin to a large lizard’s than that of an Ancient Divine Dragon, which would be covered in golden scales, with five-clawed talons and eight whiskers.
While this physique limited its ultimate potential, its tail and claws were far more agile, and its attacks packed a greater punch!
"Die!"
Seeing it charge over with the speed of a shooting star, the Black Bear seemed to realize the gravity of the situation. His face twisted into a ferocious snarl as he violently thrust both fists forward.
SCREEEEECH!
His fists met the horn on the Iron Armor Dragon’s head, producing a horrible grinding noise. The powerful impact forced the Black Bear backward step by step, each retreat leaving a deep crater where his foot had landed.
’Such powerful Defense...’
Hiding off to the side, Nie Yun’s pupils contracted when he saw that the armor on the Black Bear’s body could actually block the horn.
’Honestly, the Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon’s Thorn Spike Impact is ridiculously powerful. If I were in the Black Bear’s position, forget about blocking it; I’d probably be run through and killed in a single blow!’
’For the Black Bear to be able to block it... his Defense must be so strong that even a Low Grade Royal Family Longsword might not be able to pierce it!’
"Guaranteed to lose? Zi Tong, that move is useless against me. You want to kill me? In your dreams!" Having blocked the horn, the Black Bear let out a cold laugh.
"Is that so?" The Iron Armor Beast paid his taunt no mind. Instead, it sneered and raised its head. "Then you die! Secret Technique: [Purple-Eyed Demon Light]!"
Suddenly, a bizarre light burst from the Iron Armor Beast’s large eyes. The light stabbed straight into the mind, rendering one completely unable to resist it.
"Ah..."
The Black Bear never expected his opponent to have such a trump card after centuries of fighting. His mind swam, and the hands blocking the horn went limp.
SQUELCH!
The moment his hands slackened, he could no longer fend off the horn. With the sound of tearing flesh, the two-meter-long horn ran the Black Bear completely through.
"I comprehended this Purple-Eyed Demon Light Secret Technique the moment I entered the Ultimate Venerable Realm. I’ve been saving it all this time, just for this moment—to kill you!"
Having impaled the Black Bear, the Iron Armor Beast roared in triumph, its massive tail sweeping around to smash into its enemy’s head!
Impaled on the horn, the Black Bear was unable to struggle free. If that tail struck its head, death was a certainty.
"You wanted this drop of Primordial Essence Spirit Liquid, didn’t you? Here, you can have it!"
The Black Bear knew how critical the situation was. He suddenly flung the jade bottle in his hand.
The jade bottle was extremely fragile; it would shatter on impact with the stone. Once broken, the Spiritual Liquid inside would instantly dissipate, becoming useless. But if the dragon went for the bottle, it would lose its chance to kill the Black Bear!
Kill the Black Bear or save the bottle. It could only choose one.
"Fine, you’re ruthless!" How could the Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon not see through his ploy? It snorted, turned, and charged after the jade bottle as it flew through the air.
’I’m already stronger than the Black Bear. After I consume the Primordial Essence Spirit Liquid, he won’t be a threat at all. I’ll have nothing to fear from him!’
And so, with a moment’s consideration, the Purple-Eyed Iron Armor Dragon abandoned its attack on the Black Bear.
However, before it could reach the jade bottle, a slim figure suddenly shot out from a corner of the cave. WHOOSH! The figure snatched the bottle out of the air.
"Thanks for all your hard work! I’ll be taking this Primordial Essence Spirit Liquid!"
With a long cry, the figure flashed out of the cave, disappearing from the two beasts’ sight in the blink of an eye. P.S.
