Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 289: Shadow Stealth, the Power of the Heavenly Whip
"It's the sixth-level Burning Flame Dragon that was patrolling outside just now!"

The other party was actually hiding at the top of the mountain and no one noticed him at all.

The blazing flames were blowing towards them, but Wei Zhong and the other three did not show much panic in their eyes.

Wei Zhong rolled up his spiritual power, and a high-level black golden flame appeared, wrapping himself in it.

The flame didn't last long, nor was it powerful enough to destroy everything. The fifth-level golden flame was enough to keep it out.

When the flames disappeared, Wei Zhong looked at Huang Shuya and the other person on the other side.

Chu Haoming hid behind Huang Shuya and used the opponent's Lihuo heavy armor to withstand the attack.

The three of them looked up at the sky. The Burning Flame Dragon was still hovering above their heads, with no intention of coming down.

Suddenly, the ground shook.

The rocks rolled, and a huge monster popped its head out from under the people's feet.

He dodged and looked back, only to find that it was a gigantic stone and iron dragon. Its aura was deep and frightening.

"Another sixth-level dragon beast!"

As expected, this secret place at the core is full of dangers.

It was just their first time entering this place and causing a little noise, which attracted the attack of two level six dragon beasts.

While looking at him, the stone iron dragon suddenly waved its dragon arm, and Chu Haoming was knocked flying with a sharp sonic boom.

"So fast!"

Wei Zhong almost didn't see the dragon beast's movements clearly just now. He felt that the other party just moved slightly, and Chu Haoming disappeared.

'Shi Tielong is defensive and moves slowly. But after reaching the sixth level, even if he is slow, it seems that we, the Divine Transformation cultivators, cannot touch him.

'At least as far as his arms can reach.'

Wei Zhong saw his arms waving again, this time the target was Huang Shuya. The latter became alert, and flames erupted from her Lihuo heavy armor, pushing her body back rapidly, avoiding the palm.

However, the strong wind created by the move still caused flames to flicker outside the heavy armor.

As Wei Zhong was watching the situation, red flames once again swept across the earth.

There was a flash of lightning at the tip of his toes, and he fled away quickly.

The purpose of this mission is to contain the dragon beasts outside and buy enough time for Huangli and the other two inside the mountain.

Instead of fighting with a large number of dragon beasts, not to mention that there are some difficult-to-deal-with sixth-order dragon beasts among them, Wei Zhong is no match at all if he doesn't use his trump card.

He threw the invisible sword in his hand and flew towards the sixth-level stone iron dragon.

Following the weakness discovered when dealing with Shi Tielong before, the invisible sword stabbed fiercely, but the sword body trembled.

It was as if what he encountered was not the flesh and blood body of a dragon beast, but a real golden and iron magic weapon.

"After the sixth stage, have the previous weaknesses been made up?"

Wei Zhong didn't believe it, and the invisible sword attacked again in several directions, but without exception, they were all blocked by the stone and iron scales.

Just when Wei Zhong was about to retract his magic sword, the sixth-level stone iron dragon seemed to be annoyed by Wei Zhong's mosquito-like harassment.

He made an unintelligible sound from his mouth and waved his arms, almost knocking the retreating invisible sword away.

He put away his sword and returned to Huang Shuya, asking:

"What is this dragon beast yelling about?"

The latter's Lihuo Heavy Armor seemed to have a system for translating this language installed in it, and replied:
"It says you're an annoying little bug."

Wei Zhong was speechless for a moment, and continued to ask:
"Jiuzhou has done a lot of research on this demon beast? He even mastered its language?"

The two of them dodged the flames falling from the sky, and Wei Zhong heard Huang Shuya answer:
"No matter how complex a language is, as long as there are enough samples, it can be cracked sooner or later."

"What level of dragon beast can speak this language and show obvious intelligence?"

“This is uncertain. Some can reach the fourth level, some are at the fifth level but their intelligence is still in chaos, and some have to reach the sixth level.

“For example, the stone iron dragon in front of us is one of the dumber dragon beasts. It only developed basic independent intelligence and was able to use language after it reached the Void Refining stage.

"The reason for this gap seems to be related to the level of the dragon beast itself. The more powerful the dragon beast is at the same level, the earlier its spiritual wisdom will be awakened.

"The Stone Iron Dragon and the Burning Flame Dragon in front of us are both of average strength, otherwise they wouldn't have given us time to maneuver."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zhong heard the word "be careful".

A dragon shadow as tall as two people appeared behind Wei Zhong and the other man, and the terrifying aura it exuded made them tremble violently.

Fortunately, a bundle of golden thread bound and blocked it, so that its claws were only three feet away from the two men.

It fled quickly and found that it was a sixth-level Swift Shadow Dragon, whose body was restrained by Chu Haoming and could not move forward.

Wei Zhong looked along the golden line and saw Chu Haoming standing in the grass, with fallen leaves covering his body, and there was not a single scratch on his heavy armor.

'It is worthy of being a heavy armor made in Jiuzhou. When wearing it, there will not be much difference between Chu Haoming in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation and those in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, or even at the peak.

'The important thing is that the defense is greatly enhanced, making up for the weakness of the spiritual body.'

Just as Wei Zhong was imagining this, the golden thread used to restrain the Swift Shadow Dragon in the air suddenly loosened, and the dragon's shadow disappeared.

A strong wind exploded from the sides of Wei Zhong and the other man. A pair of dragon claws stretched out, and Wei Zhong's golden thunder sword emerged, slashing heavily towards the back.

With a "swish", Wei Zhong's body flew backwards and crashed into the group of dragon beasts at the foot of the mountain, splashing a large amount of dust.

Huang Shuya was also quite uncomfortable when she encountered this claw. She was wearing heavy armor and her movements were slower than Wei Zhong. She had no time to fight back and was hit in the chest by the claw.

The sharp dragon claws were like a cutting machine, leaving three huge, palm-deep gashes on Huang Shuya's chest.

If the Lihuo heavy armor was not thick enough, this claw would probably cut it in half.

The soles of the heavy armored man were pulled by the golden thread, and Chu Haoming pulled it hard and pulled it back to his side.

Seeing the gap in his heavy armor, his expression suddenly changed.

"This sixth-level Swift Shadow Dragon is much stronger than the other two!"

Just as the two had this thought, the figure of the Swift Shadow Dragon in the distance disappeared again.

The two were startled and alert to their surroundings, ready to resist the attack, but when they heard an explosion in the distance, they realized that they were not the target.

"Not good, Fellow Daoist Jie!"

As he shouted, fire rain suddenly fell from the sky. This time it was not like a breath that only lasted for a few breaths, but it continued for a long time, as if it was endless.

And the flames burst, and once they fall near the two, they will explode.

In order to delay the two men's steps, Shi Tielong also took this opportunity to walk into the red rain of fire, and slapped down with a huge black palm...

Wei Zhong struggled to get up from the siege of the fourth and fifth level dragon beasts, and looked at the Golden Thunder Sword in his hand. A gap almost cut off the entire sword.

There was a look of pain in his eyes.

"The dragon claws of this Swift Shadow Dragon are too concentrated and have a high burst, so ordinary fifth-tier magic weapons cannot stop them at all."

The familiar Broken Wind Body approached, Wei Zhong put away his sword, and the lightning and Gang Qi in his body began to mobilize greatly, and dense Gang Yin spiritual patterns appeared on his body surface.

The Yantian Whip emerged in his hand. Due to his insufficient level of cultivation, Wei Zhong did not think of using his own spiritual power to activate it. He just wrapped it around his hand to use as a boxing glove and arm guard.

When the Swift Shadow Dragon appeared again, Wei Zhong punched behind him fiercely.

The two powerful forces collided here, and the resulting gas explosion blew away all the remaining dragon beasts in the surrounding area. Wei Zhong's feet loosened, and the whole person flew into the air.

There was a sound like thunder in the chest and lower abdomen, a silver thunder was contained but not released, his spiritual consciousness spread all around him and he sensed the movement under his feet.

He lowered his head and released the Heavenly Sound Roar, and the figure of the Swift Shadow Dragon suddenly appeared below.

As if disturbed by something, the movements suddenly stopped and the body began to tremble inexplicably.

This is exactly the effect caused by the resonance between the Heavenly Sound Roar and the spiritual power in the body.

In line with the principle of striking while the enemy is weak, Wei Zhong raised his fist and punched down.

But the Swift Shadow Dragon actually withstood the attack of Tianyinhou and reacted by raising its right claw.

Wei Zhong's fist wrapped in the Yantian Whip collided with its right claw.

A shattering sound suddenly rang out. It was the sound of the Swift Shadow Dragon's right claw and half of its forearm shattering together.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of strong wind struck Wei Zhong in the face. Wei Zhong retracted his arms, protected them in front of him, and retreated quickly.

It turns out that it wasn't a desperate fight by the Swift Dragon.

Looking from afar, the latter stood on the mountain wall with both feet, looking at Wei Zhong with fear in his eyes.

'It's really hard to fight.'

The gap in realm is huge and cannot be easily overcome.

Whether it's spiritual skills, physical skills, or spiritual power, Wei Zhong has undoubtedly reached the peak that a Divine Transformation cultivator can achieve.

Attack, defense, exploration and other paths are also at full capacity.

The combat power is no longer the same as before, and it is much stronger than when it attacked with Mitian's clone.

But even so, it was unable to defeat this sixth-order Swift Shadow Dragon. Even with the most powerful attack of the Tianyin Roar, Mitian would be shattered into large parts by the Tianyin Leishan secret technique.

Only half of the Shadow Dragon's arm was destroyed, and that was even after Wei Zhong followed up with a punch.

If we just roar and ignore everything, won't it have no effect at all?

Seeing the Swift Shadow Dragon, Wei Zhong commented in his mind:
“It’s fast, and its claws are as sharp as a sixth-tier magic weapon. Its strength is also quite good, almost the same as when I fully activated my “Forging Gang Method” and “Seven Aperture Thunder Technique”. My physical strength is enough to eliminate the influence of the Heavenly Sound Roar without any external interference.

"This Swift Shadow Dragon seems to be not much different from the Hexagonal Warrior."

Suddenly, there were continuous sounds of explosions not far away. Two figures flew out from the smoke and flames and landed beside Wei Zhong, looking quite embarrassed.

One of Chu Haoming's heavily armored arms disappeared, and his shoulder was also severely damaged, exposing the golden spiritual patterns and large parts of the mechanism.

Huang Shuya was in even worse condition. The heavy armor on her body turned from red to gray, and there was a huge gap across her chest. If you didn't look carefully, you would think that she was cut in half.

'This is the normal state of a Divine Transformation cultivator facing a sixth-order dragon beast.'

The two were obviously defeated under the siege of two sixth-level dragon beasts.

When they escaped to Wei Zhong, they found that Wei Zhong was in good shape, but the dense black spiritual patterns on his body made him look a little weird.

Due to the urgency of the situation, he did not ask any further questions, but when he saw the Swift Shadow Dragon in the distance, a look of deep surprise appeared on his face.

"You are truly a hidden talent, my friend!"

Huang Shuya sighed, and took out the talisman that Min Laiqing had taken out before everyone left. She turned to look at Chu Haoming:

"This talisman can last for a hundred breaths. Can you and I take over?"

The latter nodded.

Huang Shuya then tore the talisman in her hand into pieces, and a red spiritual pattern floated in the air, slowly moving towards his heavy armor.

The "Record of Time" in Wei Zhong's sea of ​​consciousness was rolling again, and the spiritual patterns on the page representing fire were flashing continuously.

When the red spiritual pattern penetrated deep into the heavy armor, the Lihuo heavy armor suddenly erupted in flames. It was so hot that even Wei Zhong, who was standing next to it, could not bear it.

He took two steps back and looked over. Even Chu Haoming had the same reaction.

"Leave the Swift Shadow Dragon to Fellow Daoist Jie, and the two of us will deal with the other two."

When he spoke, he was full of energy. The two returned to the battlefield of fire, and the fire and smoke spread again.

"The sixth-level spiritual fire fills the heavy armor. I'm afraid this fifth-level heavy armor can't withstand it."

However, since Huang Shuya and the others already had a way to deal with it, Wei Zhong was no longer too worried. He turned his gaze to look at the swift shadow dragon on the mountain wall, and suddenly found that the dragon shadow was motionless, really like a shadow.

The invisible sword flew and slashed, like cutting through a bubble.

"Where did you go?"

Wei Zhong's spiritual sense swept around, but he still couldn't find the dragon beast.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind Wei Zhong, and stretched out its dragon claws. Before it could get close to Wei Zhong's body, it was knocked away by a punch.

Wei Zhong turned around and found that the latter had disappeared again without a trace.

It was like a ghost disappearing into the surrounding environment again.

'Even the spiritual sense search is useless?'

Under Wei Zhong's feet, which he was completely unaware of, a dragon claw stretched out, stabbed into Wei Zhong's spiritual boots, and pierced through the sole of his foot.

Blood flowed everywhere, Wei Zhong groaned, his muscles and bones clamped the dragon claws, he raised his fist and bent over to smash down.

"boom!"

It was as if he had touched something real, and a huge recoil force came from his hands.

He lifted his left foot and looked down, but there was nothing underneath, only the shadow cast by his foot and one or two drops of blood.

"shadow?"

"Shadow Dragon, Shadow Dragon, isn't it not only fast, but also has the ability to blend into the shadows?"

Wei Zhong leaped up into the air, lightning flashed around him, and strong light radiated in all directions, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Sure enough, the latter's figure reappeared in the shadows under the rocks not far away.

He seemed to be shocked that Wei Zhong had seen through his methods, and uttered meaningless words.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhong didn't understand.

There was a flash of lightning, and it rushed to its side, but in a flash, the Swift Shadow Dragon disappeared again.

The sound of breaking wind was heard behind him. Before Wei Zhong could turn around, he twisted his arm backwards and swung out the Yantian Whip wrapped around his arm.

The dragon claw touched it and then tightly wrapped around it.

The latter wanted to break the whip and get away, but the invincible dragon claws landed on the Yantian whip without causing any sparks.

At this time, he seemed to finally realize that something was wrong. He leaned down and fled, and Wei Zhong, who was holding the other end of the whip, also fell suddenly.

After stabilizing his body, Wei Zhong found that almost half of the Yantian Whip was submerged in the shadow under the tree, and a smile appeared on his face.

With a sudden stomp of his legs, the thick spiritual energy built a solid foundation. Wei Zhong clenched the Yantian Whip with both arms, lightning and internal energy circulated in his body, and thunder roared in his abdomen.

He leaned back, pulled hard, and shouted:

"Wake it up for me!"
