Chapter 355 - 269: Holy Seed (Part 2)

A fierce gale howled like the roar of a great dragon, as if nine Divine Dragons had materialized around Zhao Xuanqi.

Before his breakthrough, Zhao Xuanqi had an offensive Secret Technique called "Nine-tailed," which used an explosive burst of Physical Ability to manifest nine separate attacks.

However, limited by his Physical Ability, this technique could only be used for a single burst and couldn’t be sustained.

But now, Zhao Xuanqi had reached the pinnacle of both Physical Ability and control. His Technique was no longer restricted. The Nine-tailed technique had officially evolved into the Nine Dragon Formation. It was no longer a momentary burst; combined with his ability to transform his body, he could attack in all directions continuously, as if protected by the Nine Dragons themselves!

Nine streams of Dragon Form Force crisscrossed an area over ten meters wide, enveloping nearly every direction.

Four Saint-level experts, two Masters, and eight Demon Stars were all engulfed by the nine Dragon Forms.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The experts clashed, and a fierce Force swept through the area, its power even greater than artillery fire. The ground cracked, dust and smoke billowed out, and rubble flew everywhere. The rainbow light of the magnetic field surged like a dense, swirling Fog.

Even from dozens or even a hundred meters away, the flying debris acted like shrapnel, capable of easily piercing a human body.

The Neon soldiers in the front ranks were struck by the debris. Over ten were killed and dozens were injured. With faces full of horror, they all fell back.

It wasn’t just them; even the other experts from the Divine Land and Neon who were fighting nearby had no choice but to steer clear of the area.

Dust and smoke filled the air as the rainbow light diffused, making it impossible to see what was happening in the fight.

The roaring continued for nearly a minute before a figure suddenly shot out from the dust cloud. It flew violently toward the Neon Army and crashed into an armored tank.

BOOM!

The heavy tank was thrown into the air by the impact, almost flipping over. It was knocked back nearly ten meters before it finally landed, barely managing to stay upright.

In the process, about ten ordinary Neon soldiers were crushed into a bloody pulp.

THUD!

A figure fell heavily from the tank’s armor to the ground, covered in blood. When everyone got a closer look, they saw that the tall, human-like figure was none other than the Western Lord, Moriuchi Kazuo!

WHOOSH!

Then, more figures flew out of the smoke in succession—the two Masters and the eight Demon Stars. Not a single one had been spared!

Among them, Moriuchi Kazuo was so grievously wounded that he was out of the fight. Matsushima Shu was also badly injured, his expression grim. As for the other Demon Stars, they were in no better shape.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Then, four more figures leaped out of the smoke, retreating to stand before the others.

It was the four Saint-level experts.

At this moment, however, they had lost their earlier composure. Their clothes were tattered, and wounds and bloodstains were visible on their skin. Although none of the injuries were critical, the sight was still enough to leave everyone shocked and horrified.

The combined attack of four Saint-level experts and many other top-tier masters had been repelled once again!

There were no tricks involved. This was a complete and utter rout by sheer power!

THUD. THUD. THUD.

The heavy footsteps became the sole focus on the battlefield.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhao Xuanqi’s figure slowly emerged from the smoke, almost completely unharmed.

His divine might was as imposing as ever.

"With this level of strength, you couldn’t even have threatened Yuan Tianhao," Zhao Xuanqi said calmly. "Are you planning on taking some of your other powers and techniques to the grave with you?"

Hearing Zhao Xuanqi’s words, Mitsuro and the others exchanged a look. They now fully understood the extent of their opponent’s power.

’He’s even stronger than Yuan Tianhao was!’

At this point, they no longer harbored any illusions of winning by a fluke.

Mitsuro asked the three beside him, "This time, how long can you all last?"

"The battle with Yuan Tianhao was less than two months ago, and we haven’t had nearly enough time to recover," Shinkawa Yue said with a grave expression. "I estimate I can only last for less than a Quarter Hour."

"I can last a bit longer, maybe just under twenty minutes," Oono Bonan said, his expression darkening.

"I only recently fused with the Holy Seed," Jiang Feiyu said. "Activating it again so soon... I can only last for ten minutes, at most. And the price I’ll pay afterward... I doubt I’ll be able to recover quickly like last time."

"Then ten minutes is our limit. No, let’s compress it to under five minutes. We absolutely cannot allow him to do what Yuan Tianhao did and touch the threshold of an even higher realm. As for the damage... repeatedly stimulating the Holy Seed will indeed have a massive impact on our condition. We might even fall from the Saint level for a time, which would in turn affect the entire situation in the Divine Land."

"But if this man doesn’t die, what right will we have to even speak of the situation? Today, it’s either him or us."

Mitsuro’s tone was one of absolute finality.

"Let’s do it."

Before the others could say more, Mitsuro suddenly raised a finger and jabbed it into his chest, right over his heart.

THUMP!

His heart suddenly throbbed, the sound like a clap of thunder. A faint light shone out from his chest and began to spread to the rest of his body.

Blood, bones, muscles, skin...

In the blink of an eye, Mitsuro’s body seemed to transform into pure, translucent light, shimmering with seven colors. From the inside out, he appeared to have lost his form of flesh and blood.

BOOM!

At that moment, all light within a radius of several dozen meters suddenly dimmed, as if it had been stolen away. Only the light from Mitsuro’s body erupted, shooting straight into the sky. The pillar of light twisted, taking the form of a gigantic python.

At the same time, specks of light began to flake off Mitsuro’s body. His current state seemed somewhat similar to the Rainbow Transformation Yuan Tianhao had undergone back then.
