Chapter 248: Chapter 160: The Talent That Surpasses the Human Species Limit, Massacre of the Dragon Breed in the Intersecting Boundaries! (4K)_2
"No, it's tough to get close, even the roots of the Dragon Thunder Plant can't withstand it."
"In that case..."
Xue Jing's mind stirred, pulling the dark, enameled armor from the Giant Buddha into Dark Flame, which swirled and converged onto his own body, transforming into Shadowflame Wrap Armor.
He then dismantled the Giant Buddha and controlled all the seeds of the Dragon Thunder Plant, attaching them to various parts of his body.
Countless roots, thorns, vines, flowers... all entwined around him, forming a second layer of thick golden armor made of wood.
This time, he didn't even leave holes for his eyes or nose, but fully enclosed armor, completely seamless.
In this condition, his visual, auditory, and olfactory senses were almost entirely obscured, relying only on the vague impressions in his mind and his instincts for movement.
But Xue Jing didn't hesitate; with a deep breath of oxygen before sealing the armor, he activated Whirlwind Thunder Force, grafting spiral indentations along his legs.
Then, he stomped on the ground, shattering it, propelling himself forward like an arrow released from its bow, spiraling a ring of white airwaves around him on his way.
It all happened in an instant.
Xue Jing entered from one side of the Thunder Light Group, and in less than a second, emerged from the other side, his entire body shot straight through, piercing the Thunderball completely.
When he came out, his arms were wrapped around a giant flesh ball over a meter tall.
The flesh ball throbbed continuously like a heart, its surface teeming with ever-growing buds, endlessly enlarging.
Meanwhile, Xue Jing's own golden wooden armor was torn and ragged, with only small remnants left clinging to his thighs and shoulders, his entire body entwined with golden currents that wildly raced over him.
"Boom!"
He landed on the ground, unable to stop himself, and immediately knelt down, creating a deep pit several meters deep upon impact.
The immense gravity caused his flesh and bones to emit unendurable vibrations.
Clenching his teeth, Xue Jing drew countless black streams from the surrounding shadows, transforming them into the Dark Flame to continuously mend the gaps in his armor, grinding away the residual Dragon Thunder currents on his body.
His armor kept breaking and repairing until, after a while, he completely obliterated the golden currents.
His body suddenly lightened, the immense gravity dissipated, and his flesh and bones ceased vibrating, allowing Xue Jing to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"...Impressive, you really dared to go for it?"
The Mirror Person exclaimed.
"Right, you're still a Martial Artist... That's really odd; every Martial Artist I've seen is pretty much like you, immediately doing what you think, filled with foolhardy action."
"Listen, there's no time to waste, it's now down to its Core Organ and has no power to resist. Hurry up and start cutting it away!"
Upon hearing the Mirror Person's words, Xue Jing then realized that the giant flesh ball he was holding had already grown to several meters in diameter.
His arms, having been in contact with the flesh ball, were now 'swallowed' up by the proliferating flesh by more than half.
Taking a deep breath and channeling his energy, he extracted his arms from the flesh.
Then, clenching his fists, a group of Dark Flame transformed into a Black Long Knife in his hands.
"Next, it's slaughter time."
Xue Jing murmured.
...
"Swish, swish, swish—"
He swung the knife dozens of times, cutting the giant flesh ball into dozens of pieces.
Xue Jing watched as the chunks of flesh on the ground writhed and gathered towards the center, wondering,
"How long do I have to keep chopping?"
The Mirror Person casually responded from the reflection in his wristband, sitting on Xue Jing's shoulder,
"That's just the way with Life System Dragon Species."
"Especially these Guardian Dragons, just below the Pureblood Dragon Species, without a specific method, you can only slowly grind it down."
Xue Jing stretched out his right hand, snapping his fingers.
The Dark Flame burned, covering the chunks of flesh on the ground, able to annihilate matter, but upon contact with the flesh pieces, it was hindered by the life force continuously emanating from them. While it steadily sapped the life force of the flesh, by the time the Dark Flame completely burned out, the life force of the flesh still showed no signs of bottoming out.
"Don't waste your Divine Power, just keep chopping; there's still another Guardian Dragon to deal with," said the Mirror Person.
Upon hearing this, Xue Jing could only scratch his head, taking up his Black Long Knife, and cut the Crown Dragon's Core Organ into even tinier chunks.
It took over half an hour, but as Xue Jing continued to cut, the rate at which the Core Organ gathered and recovered became slower and slower, until it finally stopped moving altogether.
[Killed a creature with Divine characteristics, Divinity +336]
[Current Divinity: 387]
[...Fitness Experience Points +1066]
[...Health Cultivation...]
His display showed the Divinity gain and a series of Experience Points notifications, Xue Jing looked straight at the end.
[Aiming upgraded to Lv9 (533/8000)]
[Fighting upgraded to Lv9 (798/8000)]
Two more regular skills have been leveled up to Lv9!
Xue Jing's spirit was lifted.
His pupils suddenly contracted, constantly changing focus.
Everything in his field of view, already extremely clear, became even more transparent, like another layer of film had been peeled away.
Fine trembling sounds came from his bones all over his body, and various structures inside his body subtly changed once again.
His body was already extremely perfect, having been described by his master, Li Qi, as the most balanced and perfect template of the human species.
At this moment, however, he was transforming towards exceeding the limits of the human species.
Xue Jing took a deep breath, channeled his energy, a True Dragon materialized inside him, letting out the sounds of a dragon's chant, darting around wildly.
Smooth, smoother than ever before.
His body, as if lubricated, his energy flow inside was extremely smooth, without any obstruction.
"The speed of channeling energy... has increased by at least a third," Xue Jing closed his eyes and felt it, heaving a light sigh.
"And..."
He quietly channeled his energy, simultaneously activating 'Golden Scales Transformation' along with 'Whirlwind Thunder.'
Exquisite and fine dragon scales started to appear all over his skin, and at the same time, spiral grooves extended on his right arm.
Suddenly, his pupils transformed, turning into dark golden vertical pupils.
Intense pain arose due to conflicting energies inside him, but Xue Jing's gaze was joyous.
"Three Kills as One, done,"
He's one step closer to the Mystic Art·Vital Point of Five Murders Combine into One!
Xue Jing beckoned, and a Shadow Flame crow holding his backpack flew over.
He then reached into the backpack and took out the Dragon Breed Distribution Map, and with a pen, he marked one of the two remaining red dots with an X.
"Next is the last one," Stay informed via m-vl-em,pyr
He tapped his finger on the final red dot on the map, thought for a moment, and then said,
"Speaking of which, I've almost wiped out all the dragons in the Intersecting Boundaries, and that Pureblood Dragon Breed hasn't reacted at all."
Mirror Person, sitting on Xue Jing's shoulder, swinging its little legs:
"The Pureblood Dragon Breeds, claiming to be True Dragons, never consider any dragon outside of their pureblood as their kin, even those bred by themselves,"
"However, the death of a Guardian Dragon should still provoke some reaction... but you were too fast,"
"It's been less than half a day, and you've already killed two, and are about to kill the third; it's probably still asleep, hasn't responded yet."
Xue Jing's eyebrows raised, "Is that so?"
"Since that's the case, let's make it quick. Let's find the next one right away,"
Mirror Person, "Aren't you going to rest for a while, recover some Divine Power?"
It considered Xue Jing's Divine Skill as a 'secret technique' of the Blessed One, which requires the consumption of 'Divine Power' to activate.
"Let's finish off the last one and then take a rest,"
After memorizing the route on the map, Xue Jing stuffed it back into the backpack, then stretched lazily.
"Let's go."
...
Five hours later, it was dark.
"Awooo—"
A dragon's chant filled with fear and despair echoed through the sky, a huge dragon with wings on its back and scales rough like tree bark fell from the sky.
"Boom—!!"
The giant dragon landed like a meteor, the ground trembled, blasting a cloud of dust into the air.
Xue Jing, gasping for breath, wearing a tattered black tactical suit, holding a somewhat dim Serpent Slayer Spearhead claw, jumped down from the back of the giant dragon.
"The last one, done,"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It took three days, and now, all the Dragon Breeds in the Intersecting Boundaries have been eradicated."
