Wang Hu secretly took a deep look at the Overturn Oceans Formation, the Divine Body Realms whose breathing weakened, and the Second Realm troops.
He calculated in his mind how long they would last.
?
As for attacking the Overturn Oceans Formation directly...
An unusual glint flashed across his eyes.
"Damn you, Di Zun! I let my guard down and allowed you to attack, " suddenly, the Golden Dragon King bellowed.
Wang Hu saw through his motive at a glance. He was the Dragon King after all; certainly, he had to rationalize why he was disgraced in front of so many subordinates just now.
As expected, Jin Qiong, the other dragons, and the marine species troops felt better after hearing what was said.
It was only a moment of being careless...
This Di Zun's speed was too fast. Because the Dragon King let his guard down, he let this Di Zun sneak up on him. It was normal.
"If this is all the combat power you have, then you can die, " Wang Hu said nonchalantly.
"Hmph! I was careless just now. Now, I shall let you see the prowess of our Dragon Clan, " the Golden Dragon King bellowed again.
As he said, flashes of golden light circled around his body and formed a golden sheer armor.
It was a thin layer, yet it appeared to be impenetrable.
Jin Qiong and the dragons were astonished.
The Golden Scale Armor special ability!
It was the extraordinary defense-type special ability that Dragon Clan members could cultivate only after they reached Ground Limits Realm.
Wang Hu narrowed his eyes and assessed the armor with the Tiger's Spirit Golden Eyes, but he could not identify any weaknesses.
It was no surprise for Wang Hu since the Dragon King was a Fourth Realm after all. Even though it may just be a clone, if it did not have any outstanding ability, then this Fourth Realm would be a sham.
He became more serious, and his body disappeared in a flash.
The Golden Dragon King's divine senses were driven to the maximum, and he immediately discovered this Di Zun's tracks.
However, he still got a shock from the opponent's speed.
He struck at his left with the power that he had prepared in advance.
A blast powerful enough to break up mountains erupted.
In the next moment, a similar situation happened. Just as the two palms were about to collide with each other, Wang Hu retracted his power.
He moved to the front of the Dragon King at lightning-quick speed and threw a smack at an even faster speed.
Frosty murderous intent filled the Golden Dragon King's eyes. ?Hmph!
The Dragon King met the attack using his other palm with equally strong power.
Within a split second, Wang Hu retracted his palm again and moved to another side for another strike.
Part of the power that the Golden Dragon King threw out in his first strike was recovered. The golden beam that encircled his body shone brighter, and he bore the full brunt of the attack this time.
Boom!
A blast of power imploding sounded, but the Golden Dragon King remained motionless. Only the golden beam on his body flashed for a moment.
The Golden Dragon King quickly took the chance and attacked with his palm. Wang Hu moved to the side and dodged.
"Hmph! Do you think that I will still fall for the same trick?" the Golden Dragon King snorted.
This was his method of dealing with Wang Hu's attack—by preserving his strength in each attack. In addition to that, his divine senses also helped to prevent the same situation from happening again.
His strength was much stronger than that of this Di Zun. Moreover, he had the support of the Overturn Oceans Formation. By splitting his strength into a few portions and also having the defense of the Golden Scale Armor...
He would have enough time to handle this Di Zun's speed.
He had let his guard down previously, but he would not allow that to happen again. This Di Zun was indeed a very tough opponent.
"Sure, show me how long you can withstand my attacks."
Wang Hu smirked, and his battle spirits raged.
His body morphed into a beam of light, and he lunged at the Golden Dragon King.
In the blink of an eye, the two golden lights collided with one another continuously.
One party remained motionless like a mountain...
While the other party attacked from all directions like a storm.
Deafening blasts from the collisions of the two powers sounded at the bottom of the ocean like thunder.
Jin Qiong and the dragons stared intently at the fight but could not see clearly at all. All they could feel was the indomitable power that was released every time the two powers collided.
The shock waves from the collisions would have overturned the ocean if the two powers had not canceled each other out.
However, the raging ocean continued to release an even louder ferocious growl which rang throughout the skies.
It was uncertain how many times the two golden beams had collided with one another over the span of a few breaths.
Suddenly—
Growl!
A majestic dragon growl was heard, and one of the golden beams transformed into a huge golden dragon.
It was more than 300 meters long, and its entire body was shimmering in gold. It was magnificent.
In the next moment, an earth-shattering tiger roar was heard.
Roar!
The supreme tiger roar seemed to intimidate all the living beings under the heavens.
The other golden beam transformed into a giant tiger.
The tiger was 57 meters tall and 100 meters long.
Jin Qiong and the dragons couldn't help but to grow nervous. They knew that both parties are treating the fight with more gravity now.
The 200 human Third Realms, who shortened the distance to the site, also heard the tiger roar and dragon growl obviously fighting for supremacy. The suppression they felt in their souls intensified, and their travel speed was lowered once more.
"The Tiger King met its match!"
Dong Yuhao, the leader of the China team, said. No one responded, and all of them moved forward carefully with their entire bodies on high alert.
At the bottom of the ocean, the Dragon Clan troops continued to look...
The two humongous creatures dash towards one another after staring down for less than three seconds.
Growl!
Roar!
The dragon growl and tiger roar erupted into the skies and swept across the ocean.
The Golden Dragon King and Wang Hu, who were entangled in a fight again, switched roles in attacking and defending.
As the number of attacks by the Golden Dragon King increased—due to being stronger, in addition to having the Golden Scale Armor; he stopped restraining himself and gradually switched from defending himself to attacking.
Meanwhile, Wang Hu reined in his number of attacks and mainly dodged the attacks, choosing not to fight head-on.
His strength reached the peak of the Sixth Floor, and it was further enhanced by the Extreme Strength Strike of Dao and the first stage of the White Tiger Battle Art—making it as powerful as the Tenth Floor.
However, compared to the Golden Dragon Clan who was boosted by the strength of the Dragon Clan troops, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
The Dragon King's strength had exceeded the Eleventh Floor, which meant it exceeded the peak of the Divine Body Realm. As for how far away it was from the Fourth Realm, Wang Hu was uncertain.
On top of that, the Dragon King was an experienced fighter and was protected by the defense special ability.
It was the first time Wang Hu felt that he met an evenly matched opponent.
He had to admit that his opponent was very strong.
The Dragon King was even stronger than what he currently displayed.
Wang Hu could feel that the Dragon King wanted to use an even more powerful special ability, but he failed to do so because Wang Hu kept on dodging.
In other words, the Dragon King possessed a more powerful attacking ability, but he was limited by his speed.
The Dragon King had formidable strength and defense that Wang Hu's Tenth Floor strength could not break.
Wang Hu did not have any good solution, but the opponent's weakness was also very apparent.
The strength of the Dragon King did not belong to him, but it was borrowed from the Overturn Oceans Formation. Needless to say, the depletion of power would certainly be huge.
Over the short period of their duel just now, the Dragon King borrowed from the Overturn Oceans Formation again.
Now, the outcome seemed to be up to whose strength was depleted more quickly.
Wang Hu let out a guttural roar. His huge but agile body took a step forward, and his movement was imposing yet composed and graceful.
However, his speed was too fast. Except for the Golden Dragon King, no one else noticed his stance.
With the enhancement from the White Tiger Battle Art, his sharpened claw smacked towards the dragon's body.
The Golden Dragon King ignored the attack. He turned his head and opened his mouth to gnash at Wang Hu.
Wang Hu's claw successfully hit the dragon's body, triggering the golden scales to glow even brighter.
However, before the dragon's mouth could reach him, he quickly dodged with his Extreme Agility Movement of Dao.
He could do several moves using the same amount of time required for his opponent to do one move.
He was able to dodge at the speed of lightning no matter how dangerous the move was.
His current fighting style was even more suitable for close combat with a powerful opponent than fighting with a group.
Actually, the Golden Dragon King was also clear that close combat was more suitable for this Di Zun and that he was disadvantaged.
However, he did not have another option. On the surface, it appeared as if he had the upper hand for attacking more than defending.
However, it was this Di Zun who truly had the upper hand, not him.
If he had a choice, he would not have chosen close combat. He was forced to fight with this Di Zun at close range.
For example, when this Di Zun attacked his dragon body, if he did not attack with his bite but instead chose to attack with his divine powers...
The time required to gather his divine power was more than sufficient for this Di Zun to make another strike and then retreat with ease.
Between the two options, he naturally chose the attack with his bite which was quicker.
Even though he did not suffer from any damage after every attack, he depleted power.
By this point, it was clear to him what this Di Zun was planning.
He knew the state of the Overturn Oceans Formation, and he definitely had to preserve power.
Similarly, he also opted for the same solution.
Close combat between two huge creatures was more disastrous and involved greater power. Likewise, the depletion was also greater.
He believed that this Di Zun could not compete against his Dragon Clan troops in terms of how long their powers could sustain.
Boom!
The tiger roars and dragon growls were mixed with the blasts from the collisions of two competing powers, and it grew increasingly intense.
The fight between the two huge creatures had turned into hand-to-hand combat and divine power was occasionally released, causing the waters to become tumultuous.
Jin Qiong and the dragons watched with their hearts in their mouths. From feeling unwaveringly confident, they became uncertain.
Until now, their brows were even drawn in a tight frown. Feeling uneasy, they conjured more strength from the Overturn Oceans Formation to provide strength to the Dragon King.
They were unsure who could win this fight, but they were certain about one thing: if this Di Zun wanted to leave, their Dragon King might not be able to keep him here.
Not far away, the 200 human Third Realms also witnessed the fight.
Similarly, they watched nervously, and their eyes were glued to it.
The fight between the two huge creatures was like the overturning of the oceans and skies in their eyes.
There was no room for them to intrude. They could not even see the fight clearly.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed by.
In the Overturn Oceans Formation, over 50, 000 Second Realm troops had fainted from being drained from energy.
The remaining troops were also looking deteriorated. Clearly, the depletion of energy was too much.
However, the elites did not pay attention to them at all.
Jin Qiong and the dragons continued to draw energy from them desperately.
"Hmm? Di Zun's presence seemed to be weakened."
Suddenly, a golden dragon said with uncertainty.
Jin Qiong and the dragons were surprised. They quickly took a good look and thought that it seemed to be the case.
The frequency of his attack reduced, and he was mainly dodging.
The discovery made them delighted. Di Zun was first to succumb!
At the same time, the humans also noticed. They frowned and were filled with worry.
A few seconds later, at the intense battlefield, the aura of the huge tiger body changed. After another of the Golden Dragon King's attacks, he quickly retreated into the distance and did not intend to continue the fight.
"Di Zun, you can't hold out anymore."
The Golden Dragon King's aura was strengthened by a huge proportion, and he yelled domineeringly.
The humans were a little perplexed by this name, but they were mainly filled with worry.
Was the Tiger King really unable to hold out anymore?
If that's the case, it would be even harder to expel the Dragon Clan next time.
Jin Qiong and the dragons were joyous. They won.
"Haha, no! I have to thank you instead."
Wang Hu said with an exuberant laugh.
The Golden Dragon King was confused, and his eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"
"Did you really think that it was tough to beat you?" Wang Hu said domineeringly.
"Impudent! I dare you to!" The Golden Dragon King bellowed furiously.
"I have a special ability that is hard to cultivate daily as it could only be improved during battles.
"I have enjoyed this battle thoroughly because of you. I have decided to let you see my special ability."
Wang Hu's voice grew increasingly haughty, and it also carried indescribable contentment.
The golden glow over his body was boosted and was turned into blades.
The blades were far sharper than before, and even the waters were slashed apart.
Immediately after, the golden glow grew bigger, and the golden lightning spear appeared at the bottom of the ocean once again. It cut across everything and pierced towards the Overturn Oceans Formation.
Jin Qiong and the dragons were horror-stricken. The Golden Dragon King's thoughts popped out at a possibility.
He wanted to do something, but it was all too late.
Boom!
A blast sounded, and the Overturn Oceans Formation shattered under the golden lightning spear.
An abominable power exploded, and Jin Qiong—who had been the target of the spear—immediately disintegrated. The few golden dragons that stood beside him were also killed.
Dozens of Divine Body Realms were severely injured. Most of the remaining hundred thousand troops were also killed from the blast, and those who survived were also grievously injured.
The Overturn Oceans Formation was completely destroyed.
Cries of pain suddenly filled the bottom of the ocean.
Dong Yuhao and the other humans were flabbergasted. The Golden Dragon King became rabid.
Growl!
The Golden Dragon King let out an incensed growl, and he charged towards the Tiger King.
Wang Hu dodged with ease and appeared in the distance. He said with contempt, "Without the Overturn Oceans Formation, what other tactics do you have?"
The Golden Dragon King was seething with rage to the point of shaking. He was mad not because the Overturn Oceans Formation was destroyed, not because he just lost a huge amount of subordinates, and also not because his son perished.
It was because his dignity was trampled by a Divine Body Realm.
"You used me to train your special ability?!"
The Golden Dragon King said frostily. It was impossible for him to not understand what had happened.
This Di Zun had discovered the way to defeat the Dragon King long ago, but he did not use it just so the former could use the latter to train his special ability.
He had never experienced the humiliation of being toyed by a Divine Body Realm in his long life before.
All of his dignity was shattered.
"Indeed."
Wang Hu admitted straightaway. The second stage of White Tiger Battle Art was just perfected during their intense hand-to-hand combat.
If it had not been due to his battle with the Dragon King, he might need to take a few more years to perfect it with his own cultivation.
He was feeling good to be able to achieve success in one swift attempt.
The Golden Dragon King gritted his teeth, and icy murderous intent filled his eyes.
After a few seconds, as though he had made a decision, he sighed and said, "I have let my guards down. I thought I could defeat you quickly, but...
"As the fight progressed, I neglected the Overturn Oceans Formation."
Wang Hu did not respond as that was the truth.
He would not be able to break the shield of the Overturn Oceans Formation so easily if the various factors were not present.
However, the outcome was already decided, and it was futile to say anything more.
"Ha."
Suddenly, the Golden Dragon King snickered.
