Chapter 450: Soaring Rainbow Shatters

　　The whole vine seemed to have gained sentience at this moment as flames burst out of it. The color of the fruit also began to change, finally turning into a white crystalline color. The fruit looked as radiant as sun rising into the sky.

　　Large numbers of roots had been laid out through the entire lava pond. It wasn’t clear how deep the roots reached, but every single root was as sturdy as a mountain.

　　The amount of lava in the entire lava lake began to shrink with a speed visible to the naked eye as the lava energy was absorbed continuously by the strange vine.

　　As the lava pond grew shallower, the light around the vine grew brighter. Bei Feng’s group retreated repeatedly away from the heat even they were unable to endure.

　　Three huge gashes appeared on the body of the lava python, and faint golden blood continuously flowed into the lava lake. Surprisingly, 99 percent of the lava python’s blood had successfully been transformed!

　　At this point, its strength had also fallen into the pits. It was already unable to maintain its strength at the half-stage Void Gu realm, and it could at best be considered to be at the peak of the Controlled Dan right now.

　　Of course, with its powerful body, normal Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts would not be a match for it at all.

　　“Rawr! After waiting for so many years, this day has finally arrived!”

　　Seeing the Scarlet Vine Fruit’s transformation, the lava python let out an excited roar, causing the entire underground cavern to tremble.

　　“Kill it first!”

　　Bei Feng suddenly had an ominous feeling. He wasn’t sure where the feeling originated from, but the lava python was the only thing that could pose a threat to them in this huge space.

　　Mystic One and the rest immediately jumped outwards and surrounded the lava python again.

　　Previously, their combined attacks were aimed at the same place, and it was ultimately dodged by the lava python.

　　“Argh! Damned ants! If This Seat’s strength was not restricted, killing you all would be as easy as killing an ant!”

　　The lava python’s angry roars rang out incessantly. Its scales were now torn and broken, and its golden blood emanated a sweet fragrance.

　　Bei Feng directly used the Giant Bear Manifestation again and a huge paw smashed towards the lava python!

　　“Hou!”

　　The lava python coiled its body together and its horn shone with a red light as it directly smashed the huge paw apart!

　　Large amounts of stones and rocks rumbled down the roof of the underground cavern. The fact that the rocks could endure the scorching lava meant that they were naturally not normal rocks. They were extremely sturdy, but even so, they could not withstand the shock waves from the battle.

　　“Ang!”

　　A 10 meter tall Dragon Manifestation appeared behind Bei Feng, and a terrifying pressure instantly surged out along with its appearance.

　　“This is a small dragon beast that’d held the bloodline of the true dragon race! As long as I swallow you, This Seat will definitely succeed in evolving to a dragon!”

　　At first, a hint of fear flashed across the lava python’s eyes when it saw the dragon beast manifestation. This was an innate suppression and fear caused by the difference in the level of life form.

　　It hadn’t noticed this earlier, but now that it’d carefully evaluated the human, it did indeed detect a trace of true dragon bloodline in him.

　　Bei Feng was not very strong, so this was a great opportunity for it! Even if it really transformed into a dragon, it would be far from becoming a true dragon. But right now, there was actually an opportunity right in front of its eyes!

　　As long as it swallowed Bei Feng, it would naturally have a chance to evolve into a dragon beast after it reached the highest level of transforming its bloodline. Although that was only the lowest level of dragon, it would be much better than the path it was currently taking.

　　As soon as the thought flashed through its head, the lava python went crazy with desire. Although its tail was currently locked, it still had many other methods at its disposal. A third of its scales suddenly separated and shot towards Mystic One and the rest!

　　“Die!”

　　The three meter long horn on the lava python was not really worth a mention when compared to its huge body. But to it, the horn was actually its strongest weapon!

　　Mystic One and the rest were instantly surrounded by the large scales. Facing the heaven-covering sea of scales, they were only capable of protecting themselves. At this time, a sharp horn shot forward with unbelievable speed, instantly arriving before Bei Feng!

　　“Soaring Rainbow! Broken Star!”

　　Bei Feng could not dodge in time. Although he could see the horn stabbing towards him using his mental power, his physical reaction speed was unable to keep up. In that moment, Soaring Rainbow instantly slashed towards the horn!

　　The dark-golden Soaring Rainbow glowed with an intense silver light. The Broken Star mineral in the flying dagger had an extremely exceptional offensive effect. However, Bei Feng lacked the basic strength necessary to wield it perfectly.

　　“Stellar Universe!”

　　Bei Feng pointed at the two Star Gods, and they instantly fused together with him!

　　The power of stellar energy shone outwards in all directions, and Bei Feng’s aura began to rise with the infusion of the two Star Gods!

　　“Ka-cha!”

　　A light sound rang out, and Bei Feng immediately felt a huge strength surging into his body. At this time, his battle strength had reached the Void Gu realm!

　　“Heavenly Stars, aid my strength!”

　　Numerous streams of stellar energy flowed continuously into Bei Feng’s body. In the sky outside, 11 stars suddenly shone brightly as if they had narrowed their distance to Earth!

　　11 stars manifested behind Bei Feng’s back, among which the Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang stars were the most glaring.

　　Bei Feng’s Moon grade mental power was pushed to its limit and Soaring Rainbow reached an extreme speed as a layer of fire flickered faintly on its edges. It was cutting through the air at such an unbelievable speed that the friction between it and the air caused it to catch fire!

　　“Ka-cha!”

　　The three meter long horn directly collided with Soaring Rainbow, and a powerful shock wave blasted out in all directions. When the shock wave swept past Mystic One and the rest, their bodies were jolted and blood trickled down their ears.

　　A faint sound rang out in Bei Feng’s ears. Although the sound of the impact was loud, it was not enough to mask this faint sound.

　　“Pu!”

　　Bei Feng’s body seemed to have been struck by lightning as he trembled and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

　　A distance away, large amounts of fine cracks had appeared all over Soaring Rainbow’s body. A moment later, it burst apart, turning into countless broken bits which flew out in all directions.

　　The lava python was not in a good situation, either. Its horn was one with its heart, but at this point, a 20-30 cm deep chip had appeared on the tip of the horn. A single drop of scarlet blood rolled out from it, and its fragrance filled the entire cavern.

　　Mystic One and the rest had just managed to slash the scales apart when they saw the scarlet drop of blood. In that moment, all of them sank into a daze unconsciously.

　　“Argh! This Seat’s Spirit Blood!”

　　The enormous lava python roared dreadfully in the nearly dried lava lake. Before that, no matter how badly it’d been hurt, such a situation had not occurred.

　　Bei Feng’s face was grim as he waved his hand and all the shattered remains of Soaring Rainbow flew back into his hands. Then, everything was kept back into his spatial ring.

　　“Mixed Yuan Body!”

　　Using the brief instant that Soaring Rainbow had bought, Bei Feng’s powerful aura began to rise explosively!

　　All the attributes in his body doubled in an instant. Originally, Bei Feng had used the stellar energy to reach the battle prowess of the Void Gu realm. The doubling of his strength now was an addition on top of that battle prowess.

　　A huge bizarre phenomenon manifested behind Bei Feng, and a wave of whooshing sounds like metallic wings flapping sounded out. A pair of huge eyes that were wrapped in fog suddenly opened; two golden beams of light shone from the eyes, as if a god looking down upon the mortal world!

　　The huge manifestation behind Bei Feng buzzed noisily. Following that, it slashed towards the chipped horn!

　　“Ka-cha!”

　　Indestructibly sharp. Even the incredibly sturdy Soaring Rainbow had only been able to cause a 20-30 cm deep crack in the horn’s surface, but his manifestation that seemed like a heavenly wing directly sliced the horn apart!

　　About a dozen thumb-sized scarlet drops of Soul Blood rolled out, each one shining resplendently. The blood seemed to be enveloped in a layer of milky white fog.

　　“Come!”

　　Bei Feng grabbed outwards, and the numerous drops of Soul Blood, all struggling furiously, appeared before him. At the same time, they transformed into a scarlet dragon-snake that wreathed furiously.

　　“Hou!”

　　“Boom!”

　　“Argh! Damn it!”

　　The lava python struggled intensely in the lava lake, and loud clanging noises sounded out from its tail. However, the chains that held it remained firm.

　　At this time, the entire body of the lava python finally appeared. Its body was over 800-900 meters long and as winding as a mountain ridge!

　　The lava python’s struggle became weaker and weaker. When its horn had been sliced in two, it’d been hurt beyond recovery!

　　Bei Feng’s body was still under the effects of the Mixed Yuan Body secret art. At this time, even he didn’t know how strong he was!

　　Gradually, the lava python stopped moving completely, as though it was dead. However, Bei Feng did not relax. In contrast, his face turned even grimmer.

　　“All of you leave this place first. The following battle is not something you guys can participate in,” Bei Feng instructed lightly.

　　“Yes!”

　　Mystic One and the rest did not hesitate and left directly. There was no use for them to remain here any longer. They would instead become a burden for Bei Feng if they stayed.

　　Bei Feng stood in midair, staring at the lava python on the ground coldly. At this moment, the restriction of the airspace was completely useless against him.

　　Most people would perhaps wonder, why didn’t these heroes ever use their strongest move from the start, opting to instead fight till they were out of options before using the powerful skills?

　　The logic for this was similar to the game ‘Fight the Landlord”. Unless they had absolute confidence, who would ever use their strongest card from the get-go?

　　The martial world was full of all kinds of strange and bizarre techniques. No one would dare to say that they would always have complete confidence against an opponent of similar strength. As such, everyone would try to force their opponent to show their cards first.

　　Just like the card game, if one used their trump card at the very start and the opponent still had other cards to defend and counterattack, they would lose for sure.

　　“This Seat will definitely devour you! I’ll capture your soul and torture it day and night, making you suffer a life worse than death!”

　　The lava python’s body suddenly moved and rose up as a crazed look appeared in its eyes. Its hatred for Bei Feng was deep to the bone. Its horn was the strongest weapon on its body, and also the weakest part of it. With the horn broken and its Soul Blood taken by Bei Feng, unless it had a heavenly luck and opportunity, it’d never be able to evolve into a dragon!

　　That was not all—even if it swallowed Bei Feng and obtained the drop of true dragon bloodline, and also absorbed the Scarlet Vine Fruit, it would only be able to advance its cultivation. There was no hope for it to evolve into a dragon anymore.

　　With such a huge loss and damage, it was no wonder that the lava python hated him to the core!

　　Since it’d already lost all qualifications to complete its evolution, the lava python directly burnt a large portion of its transformed essence blood. In an instant, its battle power quickly recovered to its peak!

　　At this point, both sides were at a point where they would not rest until the other was dead. The original reason for their fight was no longer important.

　　In essence, it was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong. If there was a reason for this situation to arise, it was that one side was weaker than the other!

　　Countless strands of golden energy wrapped around the lava python’s body. With incredible speed visible to the naked eye, it recovered from its injuries.
