The Savage Earth Dragon's black fire made Evan Chu a little wary. Even though his Fireshift could let him survive inside ordinary flames, at his current level he still couldn’t withstand this black fire.
Evan Chu was thinking about how to transform into his dragon body. If he fought this guy with his current strength, even if he could win, it would definitely come at a huge cost.
The Dragon Clan’s defense was the most heaven-defying among all demon beasts. But if he didn’t attack now, he’d be totally passive, forced to dodge its attacks at any moment.
“Little bug, you actually dare to strike at this Divine Dragon—are you tired of living?” Evan Chu suddenly blurted out something that left the Savage Earth Dragon utterly stunned.
“You’re a Divine Dragon? Then transform and show me! With strength like yours, calling yourself a Divine Dragon is the biggest joke ever. Stop stalling—let me send you on your way!” the Savage Earth Dragon said.
Evan Chu knew that to transform, he’d have to rely on the Nascent Soul in his sea of consciousness. The little dragon from before had completely fused with the Nascent Soul, so he had to communicate with it first.
“A Divine Dragon like me doesn’t just show off my true form for anyone. I’m giving you face here—otherwise, if I transformed, you’d probably surrender on the spot and lose all dignity. So you’d better submit now, before things get awkward,” Evan Chu said.
The Savage Earth Dragon glanced at Evan Chu and said, “Human, do you really think I’m a three-year-old? I’ve lived thirty-eight thousand years—there’s no way you can fool me. Someone as sly and devious as you shouldn’t exist in this world. Die!”
With that, it suddenly spat out a stream of gray mist at Evan Chu. The moment he saw it, Evan reacted instantly—this was Dragonflame! So this thing could spit out not just black fire, but Dragonflame too. Clearly, it was no ordinary opponent.
He dodged the Dragonflame in a flash, but when Evan Chu looked, the yellow sand on the ground had changed color. For dozens of meters around, it had all turned to black sand—showing just how terrifying that Dragonflame was.
At this moment, Evan Chu was getting angry too. This thing was just too arrogant—did it really think he was afraid? He gripped the Frostbane Sword and slashed with all his strength, unleashing an Earthsplitter fused with the power of the five elements, aiming straight at the Savage Earth Dragon.
Boom! With a thunderous crash, Evan Chu was blasted into the air, while the Savage Earth Dragon was also sent flying dozens of meters. A huge pit was left in the ground, but it was quickly filled by the black and yellow sand.
But this strike barely hurt the beast at all. Even with the Frostbane Sword’s current sharpness, it only managed to carve a tiny wound in its body. Earthsplitter was a technique that could split mountains, but against this thing, it barely did any damage—truly unbelievable.
Even though Evan couldn’t seriously injure the Savage Earth Dragon, he did make it feel pain—maybe for the first time in tens of thousands of years. A hoarse, furious roar burst from its mouth, and it soared into the sky, ready for an aerial battle with Evan Chu.
After slashing out, Evan Chu laughed, “How’s that taste, little bug? I held back because you’ve got Dragon Clan blood—otherwise I’d have killed you already. You should know how to repay kindness.”
“How infuriating! A lowly human like you is nothing but an ant in my eyes, yet you dare brag so shamelessly. Today I’ll show you the true power of a Savage Earth Dragon!” it roared.
“Hey, little bug, how about a bet? If I transform into my dragon body, will you submit to me? I never take followers, but you’ve got great potential—so I’ve held back and given you a chance. Don’t be ungrateful,” Evan Chu said.
At the same time, he was desperately trying to communicate with the Nascent Soul in his mind using divine sense, but it stayed completely silent, making Evan Chu so frustrated he nearly went crazy.
“Transform into a Divine Dragon? Even if you did, I wouldn’t submit—unless you can show me the body of a five-clawed golden dragon. I don’t care about any other dragon type. Only the Golden Dragon Clan is worthy of my loyalty, so give up already!” the Savage Earth Dragon said.
“I need a little time to transform—how about you wait for me?” Evan Chu joked. He knew the Savage Earth Dragon would never agree, but he couldn’t help saying it anyway. Maybe this beast really was just that stubborn.
“Trying to stall for time? You think I’d agree to that? No one can save you today—prepare to die!” the Savage Earth Dragon said.
Its massive body suddenly flashed with cyan light, and the dragon horns on its head ignited a mass of crimson energy that blasted toward Evan Chu at lightning speed.
The crimson energy spread out instantly, draining the air around them. A tornado dozens of meters wide and hundreds of meters tall formed in front of Evan Chu, its oppressive aura making him feel suffocated.
“That’s Heavenwind? This guy can actually unleash Heavenwind? Black fire and now Heavenwind—he’s definitely a multi-attribute demon beast. Seriously powerful,” Evan Chu muttered, still shaken.
There was no way he could withstand the power of Heavenwind. Even the Demon Lord, with seventh-layer Saint Martial strength, once feared this wind—let alone Evan at his current level. He instantly flashed aside with Shifting Position.
But this time, Evan Chu found he’d only teleported a few meters—he couldn’t even reach his usual Shifting Position range. For the first time ever, his teleportation was restricted, and a massive, unprecedented pulling force surged from the crimson Heavenwind, as if trying to suck him inside.
One unbelievable thing after another left Evan Chu momentarily stunned. If he got pulled into the Heavenwind, he couldn’t even imagine the consequences. He hurriedly armored himself with earth and stone defenses just in case.
He kept using Shifting Position over and over, but the Heavenwind was closing in, and each teleport covered less and less distance. Evan Chu grew anxious—this felt just like entering a Spatial Lockdown, a sensation he hadn’t experienced in ages.
“Could this guy’s Heavenwind actually be a form of Spatial Lockdown? If so, he’s even scarier than the Fire Unicorn or Azure Spirit Drake. I’ve really provoked someone I shouldn’t have this time,” Evan Chu thought to himself.
Evan Chu knew he had to stay calm—only by keeping his cool could he survive this crisis. Gripping the Frostbane Sword, he unleashed his most domineering strike: a Heaven-Cleave fused with the power of the five elements. The massive sword qi slashed straight at the crimson Heavenwind… (To be continued at noon)
