Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 185 Five-Colored Thunder Dragon's Sky-Piercing Giant Claw

The fiery red magma fluctuated rapidly, and a tall figure flashed towards them in Xiao Bai and the little golden dragon's sight.

It looked much the same as the previous four fire lizards, but it was stronger and its scales were darker.

Its narrow eyes swept over the four lifeless members of its kin in the magma, and suddenly glowed bright red, letting out an angry howl.

"My lord, is this their backer?" The little golden dragon, with its claws crossed, stood on Xiao Bai's shoulder, glanced at the fire lizard not far away, and turned its head to ask in confusion.

Xiao Bai glanced around, his eyes showing vigilance, and said solemnly, "Sensitize your surroundings carefully!"

Upon hearing this, the little golden dragon closed its eyes in confusion. After a moment, it suddenly opened them, a look of horror flashing in its eyes, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Damn! Have we stumbled into these guys' lair?"

"A lair?" Xiao Bai sneered and shook his head. "That's a gross underestimation of these fire lizards!"

Within a few breaths of speaking, a large group of crimson figures, like a school of fish in the ocean, swarmed from the surrounding magma. Their fierce eyes, flashing with red light, and their sharp teeth, reflected in the firelight, gleamed with a menacing coldness.

"That's not all?"

The little golden dragon stared in disbelief at the hundreds of fire lizards that surrounded the area. The weakest among them was a Great Dou Master, and several even possessed the aura of Dou Huang.

"These hundreds of ugly bastards, if placed up there, could sweep through the Nagama Empire!"

"My lord, are we not going to perish here today?" The little golden dragon felt its scalp tingle under the gaze of hundreds of eyes and couldn't help but shiver.

"Transform into a spear!" Xiao Bai glanced at the restless fire lizards around him, his eyes deep and his expression calm. "With my current cultivation level, I don't have much time left!"

"Okay!" Little Golden Dragon nodded without saying a word, knowing that now was not the time to be mischievous.

After the bright, dazzling lightning dissipated, a spear over ten feet long appeared in front of Xiao Bai, its body shimmering with golden light.

"hiss!!"

A sharp, angry cry rang out from the mouth of the first, robust fire lizard to appear, and the surrounding swarm of fire lizards, as if receiving a command, surged toward Xiao Bai.

Upon seeing these countless figures with bloodshot eyes, emitting piercing screams, surging forward like lightning...

Xiao Bai took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the golden spear floating in front of him.

"kill!"

With a loud shout, he brandished his spear, which flashed with a sharp light, and swept it across the fire lizards that charged to the front.

"laugh!"

The sound of tearing fabric was particularly jarring amidst the surrounding chaos.

Several figures were torn in two by the arc-shaped spear light, and streams of dark green blood sprayed out, landing on the lava with a hissing sound and emitting pungent blue smoke.

The swarming fire lizards suddenly stopped, but after hearing the hiss of the strong fire lizard not far away, they quickly regained their senses, their eyes glowing red, as if stimulated, and charged forward even more ferociously.

"kill!"

Seeing that the fire lizards were not intimidated and charged again fearlessly, Xiao Bai knew his plan had failed. His eyes flashed with divine light, he gripped his spear tightly, roared again, and charged directly into the lizard horde.

In an instant, streaks of spear light carrying the sound of thunder swept out, limbs flew around, dark green blood flowed, and with a hissing sound, the surrounding magma was dyed black.

The attacking fire lizards surged like giant waves, one layer disappearing as another immediately followed.

Those lizardmen who could get close engaged in melee combat, while those who couldn't controlled the lava, creating a continuous stream of lava balls that seemed poised to engulf the figure in the center.

Xiao Bai looked quite disheveled at the moment, with several charred black holes on his black robe. Although the lizardmen who attacked him were not as powerful as him, there were simply too many of them. Moreover, the few lizardmen with the aura of Dou Huang did not step forward, but hid among the lizard swarm, watching them menacingly.

"Trying to wear me down?"

Xiao Bai immediately understood the purpose of these beasts. He glanced at the strong lizardman on the outermost edge, his eyes flashing with a human-like cunning and treachery.

"How cautious and ruthless! A peak Dou Huang level cultivator, yet they don't just attack directly, letting these lizardmen get killed!"

"We can't wait any longer!" Feeling his cultivation slowly receding like the tide, Xiao Bai felt a sense of urgency.

"hiss!"

Sensing that Xiao Bai's aura was weakening, the strong lizardman let out another hiss, and the three Dou Huang lizardmen seemed to receive some kind of signal and immediately attacked.

"Well done!"

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up. These guys had been hiding in the back, and he was entangled by the swarm of lizards and couldn't kill them. He didn't expect them to deliver themselves to his doorstep.

The spear swept across, forcing back the several lizardmen surrounding him. Multicolored lightning flashed beneath his feet as he swiftly moved towards the nearest one.

Like a bolt of lightning, Xiao Bai appeared behind the Douhuang lizardman and, before it could react, grabbed its tail with one hand and swung it around.

"rise!"

The lizardman, bewildered, felt his body rise into the air and glide across the scorching lava.

Xiao Bai threw down his spear, and multicolored light surged in his hand. In an instant, a phantom three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and slashed three times at the lizardman.

The Fighting Emperor Lizardman was initially terrified when he saw the long sword approaching, but he was puzzled when he found that he felt no pain.

What are these humans doing?

Suddenly, a strange feeling of weakness came from my body, as if I had been exploited by the mother lizard for three days and three nights, and my body had been hollowed out.

"What a piece of trash!"

Upon hearing the disdainful human voice, before it could even react, a huge fist slammed into its head, its vision went black, and the world instantly became quiet.

Xiao Bai tossed aside the headless corpse in his hand, feeling that his cultivation level, which had only stabilized slightly and was no longer declining, shook his head, and with a flash, appeared behind another figure charging straight at him.

The same operation was performed with the same practiced ease, as if it were a routine.

Next, the third one!

After discarding the third Dou Huang corpse, Xiao Bai's aura reached the level of a five-star Dou Huang.

Seeing the group of timid lizardmen behind him, Xiao Bai reached out and shouted sharply:

"Give me a gun!"

A golden streak of light rose from the magma not far away and flew straight into Xiao Bai's hand.

Gripping his spear tightly, Xiao Bai's gaze turned cold as he looked at the strong lizardman who seemed somewhat dazed, and he said in a cold voice:

"Your turn!"

He knew that if he didn't deal with this lizardman, leaving today wouldn't be easy.

The only option now is to act quickly, injure or kill it before it tries to summon its kind, and then leave the underground lava area as fast as possible.

As for the Radiant Fire, we'll have to talk about it later!

Seeing the direction Xiao Bai's spear was pointing, the cold glint of its tip instantly brought the strong lizardman back to his senses.

"hiss!!"

A sharp, piercing sound came from the strong lizardman's mouth, rippling through the lava and spreading outwards along the fiery red surface.

Then a group of lizardmen behind them began to do the same, creating ripples that spread outwards through the lava.

"Depend on!"

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Xiao Bai didn't hesitate. He turned and left, angrily shouting:

"So you're a disciple of Senior Brother Gou? How utterly despicable!!"

"He's supposed to be a peak Dou Huang, yet he's so shameless! Where's the dignity of a strong person?"

Seeing Xiao Bai about to escape, the strong lizardman hesitated for a moment before disappearing and heading straight for the lightning-fast human.

When it encountered this human before, it seemed to have only the strength of a mid-level sixth rank, but its keen spiritual sense told it that this human was dangerous, which led to the scene that happened before.

But this human, after killing three sixth-tier members of its race, thinks he can just leave? No way!

Based on the signal it emitted, it only needs to be stopped for a moment, and a strong member of the clan will come to deal with it.

"My lord, that guy is catching up!" came the voice of the little golden dragon from the spear in his hand.

"Um!"

Xiao Bai, who was rushing on his way, nodded slightly. Although his soul power was not as strong as before due to some reasons, he could still sense the powerful aura behind him.

Just then, a rapid whooshing sound came from behind. Xiao Bai's expression changed slightly. He turned around and swung his spear, directly shattering a huge magma fireball.

"This guy doesn't want to fight, he just wants to delay my departure!" Xiao Bai frowned as he looked at the strong lizardman following not far away.

"My lord, what should we do?" The spear in his hand trembled slightly.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Xiao Bai's expression shifted uncertainly. Seeing the mocking look in the lizardman's eyes, he hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Remember Thunder Dragon Rift?"

"I know, but Master, you haven't mastered it yet! Why are you asking this?" The spear trembled, and he said timidly, "You don't want to start practicing now, do you?"

"Even if I gave you the origin, it would be too late!"

"No need to practice! In a moment, we'll pour all our battle aura into you, along with your dragon aura, and then we'll unleash it together."

"Let's fucking get him!"

Xiao Bai flicked his sleeve and let out a hard breath, as if to release the pent-up frustration in his heart. He had never felt so stifled since his debut.

"Alright! Let's give it a try. If we succeed, we'll take it down!" Little Golden Dragon seemed a bit frustrated as well. His voice was loud, and his spear trembled, instantly straightening.

Xiao Bai's lips curled up slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, only an icy coldness.

His internal energy began to fluctuate violently, and streams of Five Elements Thunder Qi circulated rapidly in his meridians, flowing into the spear in his hand like a tidal wave through the meridians in his arms.

In an instant, the spear, which was originally flashing with golden lightning amidst a golden light, was covered with a layer of multicolored halo, making the already majestic spear body appear even more sacred.

"Cool!"

Little Golden Dragon felt this powerful and strange lightning-attribute battle qi surge into his body. In particular, the battle qi seemed to contain a mysterious sense of the flow of the five elements.

It instantly gives the illusion that its form is solidifying, about to transform into a real living being of flesh and blood.

As energy was continuously input, the magma within a radius of several hundred meters seemed to be subdued by this momentum, instantly forming a vast circular space within which colorful lightning intertwined.

A faint rumble of thunder could be heard, gradually growing louder until it became deafening.

"Get ready. As described in the technique, integrate the dragon energy within your body into the Five Elements Thunder Battle Qi, giving it the shape of a dragon. Then, using this energy, we'll unleash it!"

Xiao Bai felt the heavy, mountain-like spear in his hand, which was pulsating violently, and shouted.

The strong lizardman not far away, upon seeing the shimmering spear in Xiao Bai's hand, lost his playful expression and felt a chill run down his spine.

But before it could make a decision, the gleaming spearhead, accompanied by a faint dragon's roar and the thunderous might of heaven, locked onto it directly.

His body stiffened, and a sudden sense of fear arose in his heart.

A sound that seemed to be made with great difficulty came from amidst the deafening thunder.

"Thunder Dragon... Rift... Sky"

"roar!"

A multicolored thunder dragon, several tens of feet long, suddenly leaped out from the spear, causing space to distort slightly, as if it could not withstand the appearance of this strange creature.

As the thunder dragon coiled, it roared to the sky, and a thunderous roar shattered the space in an instant, like glass.

A pitch-black spatial rift appeared, resembling a gigantic maw that could devour the heavens and the earth, with crimson magma continuously pouring into it.

"go!"

Xiao Bai's face was pale, and his voice was weak.

As if receiving a command, the thunder dragon's enormous pupils reflected the image of the strong lizardman.

The strong lizardman trembled as the figure, which was dozens of feet long, stared at him. Before he could think, a surge of fiery red energy appeared on his body, layer upon layer.

It didn't run away; its intuition told it that turning around and running away would only hasten its death.

"roar!"

With a roar, the dragon, though enormous, was not bulky at all; on the contrary, it was exceptionally agile. As light flowed across its body, its massive and lizard-like form tore through space and appeared above the strong lizardman's head.

With a wide-open mouth, it was about to swallow the lizardman whole.

"hiss!!"

A deep, ancient neighing sound suddenly came from afar.

Xiao Bai's expression changed. He sensed a terrifying aura rapidly approaching from afar. This aura was extremely strong!

"My lord! Let's go!"

The little golden dragon had exhausted its energy to cooperate with Xiao Bai, but it had now returned to its dragon form. The usually playful dragon had a serious expression on its face.

Without hesitation, Xiao Bai took out an ancient jade piece from his sleeve. The jade piece was crystal clear and reflected bursts of milky white light.

Ignoring the pain, he crushed it in one swift motion.

Just then, a colossal claw of energy, seemingly blotting out the sky, reached out and grabbed at them. The surrounding magma involuntarily parted to both sides like a tide.

The once majestic thunder dragon was now weighed down by the pressure from the giant claw, letting out an angry and unwilling roar as the multicolored light around it gradually dimmed and dissipated.

"Hurry up!" Little Golden Dragon said impatiently as he watched the spatial power slowly ripple around him.

Xiao Bai looked up, the original crimson light above him had faded and dimmed slightly, and he stared intently at the approaching giant energy claw, a cracking sound of unbearable strain constantly emanating from his body.

Ignoring the pressure on him, he remained standing upright, though a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

This kind of pressure was beyond the level of a Dou Zong; it was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful technique.
