Golden ripples began to proliferate outward before instantly engulfing the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon.
This power was simply far too familiar to the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon, but it discovered that the power was slightly different as the ripples were somehow golden.
It then felt like it had suddenly lost something...
An expression of shock and horror appeared on its face for the very first time as it roared and flew back in retreat!
An Lin had just used his Divine Plunder Technique to steal the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon's reproductive and regenerative ability.
He pulled out his Evil-Slaying Sword again as the sinister smile on his face widened."Now then... Let's see if you'll be able to split yourself into two again..."𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝐧o𝙫ℯ𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
Wings of Wind!
Wind Sword!
Under the dual acceleration of the two spell techniques, An Lin's speed drastically increased as he chased down the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon almost in the blink of an eye.
"Take this, foul beast!"
An Lin raised his Evil-Slaying Sword high into the air, where a gust of wind flowed around the blade, before slashing down upon the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon with extreme sharpness.
Rip!
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon was slashed in half, and the two halves of its body crashed heavily onto the ground below.
There was still no blood within its body; it was as if An Lin had just sliced into a huge mound of dough.
The two halves of the dragon's body tried to regenerate, but it couldn't materialize new organs no matter how hard it tried.
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon turned to stare at An Lin in shock and disbelief.
The power of plunder was a fundamental ability unique to itself. What kind of monster was this man to be able to steal it and use it for himself!?
An Lin walked toward the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon with a cold sneer on his face and immediately unleashed his four Divine Flames to scorch its body.
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon wailed in anguish as its crimson eyes slowly collapsed while its body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The four Divine Flames raged until all the vital energy within An Lin's body had been expended.
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon had already been reduced to a charred crisp with no chance of ever regenerating.
Invisible ripples radiated outward, and An Lin could feel his Lightning Manipulation Technique returning to himself. However, the ability to reproduce and regenerate that he had plundered from the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon was slowly disappearing. The crimson flames in Hong Dou's chest also reignited as vitality coursed through his body.
Ding Dong!
"Congratulations on completing your mission, you may now receive the Divine Plunder Technique."
The image of the golden eye on An Lin's forehead pulsed as glowed and dimmed several times before disappearing into his skin.
He took a deep breath and opened his bright eyes with a satisfied expression.
All the techniques within the Divine Technique series were extremely bada*s, and the Divine Plunder Technique was no exception. The technique was very similar to the ability of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon in that it could plunder a target's spell technique as long as the target was within a hundred meters of the user, and the user was looking into the target's eyes. The time limit for this was ten minutes, and the technique could store a maximum of three different spell techniques at the same time!
"My... my spiritual flame! It's back?" Hong Dou murmured to himself in the huge crater he was situated in.
He crawled out from the crater and was greeted by the sight of a gallant figure in white robes currently with their back facing him. The figure held a black longsword and appeared particularly strapping and stalwart under the light of the sun...
"Se... Senior, are you the one who saved me?"
Hong Dou's tear-filled eyes were filled with gratitude and reverence.
The figure turned to look at Hong Dou before blinking his eyes and chuckling out loud."Oh, didn't see you there, Junior Hong Dou. I am indeed your savior. What are you going to offer to me as repayment?"
Hong Dou was instantly dumbstruck when he caught sight of the features of the man standing before him.
"Holy f*ck! It was you?!"
He roared as ten thousand sheep swept through his heart in a thunderous stampede.
He was saved by An Lin? Wasn't HE supposed to be the one that played the role of a savior?
This wasn't right!
A woman in a pink dress flew through the air before landing lightly by An Lin's side with furrowed brows."That dragon was so powerful, why didn't it drop anything?"
An Lin shrugged in resignation."This organism was quite a unique one, so I could only incinerate it to prevent further mishaps. I was hoping that some Realm Essence Crystals or something like that would appear from its body after it died, but it looks like my expectations were too high."
Liu Chuchu pouted with displeasure."We should've just continued our murder and robbery spree..."
An Lin: "..."
She was right in a sense. They had almost died in this grueling battle before finally defeating this ancient BOSS, only to find that the BOSS didn't even drop any items or even gold! What was the point of all that work then? It would be quite a disheartening situation for anyone that encountered it.
However, An Lin wasn't all that disheartened. After all, he was quite ecstatic about receiving his new hack ability. However, he couldn't express these emotions in case he made Liu Chuchu feel even worse than she did now. What a thoughtful man he was.
It was always better to share unhappiness rather than having one person being ecstatic while the other was left to feel sorry for themselves...
At this moment, the jellyfish hovering in the sky slowly descended beside An Lin before making a self-introduction in a light voice, "Greetings, fellow cultivators. I am Ling Ying from the Hall of Creation in the Creation Realm."
An Lin nodded and cupped his fists in reply."Hi there, Ling Ying, I am An Lin from the Heavenly Court in the Kingdom of the Nine States."
Liu Chuchu also made a self-introduction."Hi, I'm Liu Chuchu from the Heavenly Court in the Kingdom of the Nine States."
"I'm Tina from central city!" Tina flapped her golden wings with a grin.
Hong Dou swallowed a regenerative pill before limping over to everyone. He turned to An Lin with a sheepish expression before pursing his lips. He then turned to Liu Chuchu instead."I am Hong Dou from the Hall of Creation in the Creation Realm."
Liu Chuchu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. So this was the Hong Dou that was known as the Ideal Fourth Man?
An Lin bowed slightly to Hong Dou and Ling Ying with a grateful expression."I express my sincerest gratitude to you two for extending a helping hand to us in our time of need."
Regardless of how things turned out, the fact of the matter was that Hong Dou and Ling Ying had provided assistance to them in a dire situation, and An Lin was extremely grateful for that.
"Haha... There's no need to thank us, Mr. An Lin, we really didn't help much, " Ling Ying said as she waved her semi-transparent tentacles in the air.
Hong Dou was a little embarrassed by An Lin's display of gratitude, and he harrumphed lightly before averting his gaze.
After a series of introductions, Ling Ying slowly flew toward the center of the White Lake, which was now just a dried-out lakebed.
"I don't think you should be disappointed just yet. I feel like there's something out of the ordinary under the lakebed of the White Lake."
Ling Ying was a jellyfish, and as such, she was extremely sensitive to anything related to water, thereby allowing her to detect something all the others couldn't.
Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and they followed Ling Ying toward the center of the White Lake.
"Come with me, I feel like there is a mystic realm under here, and that demonic dragon was most likely the guardian of the realm!" Ling Ying said as she led the way down to the lakebed.
For some reason, An Lin suddenly thought of Jiang Anlan, who was the guardian of the White Cloud Lake ruins. Jiang Anlan was also a dragon, and he was responsible for guarding the ruins of the Purple Star Research Institute. Did that mean that the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon was a creature similar to Jiang Anlan?
So essentially, what they were doing before was the equivalent of killing Jiang Anlan before forcing their way into the ruins...
Would there have been something like the Rainbow Cow around here that they could have offered to the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon as a sacrifice? Perhaps they could've avoided this battle then...
Just as An Lin was being led astray by his train of thought, Ling Ying descended upon the lakebed.
The bottom of the lake was extremely dim, but one could still see the huge crater that had resulted from the explosion of the Great Explosion Formation.
Ling Ying's tentacles flew through the air as they carved a series of peculiar, dazzling symbols into the lakebed.
The symbols flashed as energy radiated outward. A huge vortex of water with insane suction power suddenly manifested itself in a certain location on the lakebed.
"This is the entrance to the mystic realm. Come with me!" Ling Ying waved her tentacles excitedly toward the vortex.
An Lin and the others could also detect a special space within the vortex, and they immediately followed behind Ling Ying as she entered the vortex.
