Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 128 Aerial Chase, Finally Obtaining the Seventh Ring

Faced with the roar of the wind dragon that You Chen released with the fastest speed, the wind dragon with its back to You Chen could not dodge even though it sensed the vibration of the air.

Hissing sounds.

The air columns washed over the Wind Dragon's invisible wind armor, producing a subtle yet dense sound.

Even with no additional enhancements, a 20,000-year-old soul skill unleashed by a level 70 Soul Emperor couldn't break through the Wind Dragon's defenses.

However, the Wind Dragon was already severely injured, and since it was flying at high speed, even the aftershocks of the impact, which had had most of its power depleted by the Wind Armor, made it feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just like an airplane flying at maximum speed being hit by a bird, which could cause damage to the aircraft.

The skin and feathers of the Wind Dragon, which evolved to naturally form wind armor in order to adapt to high-speed flight, can greatly reduce such damage. At least compared to aircraft that seem to be harder and are made of steel, it can withstand stronger impacts when flying at high speeds.

However, the Fengzhenglong had already suffered severe damage, which was equivalent to the aircraft having its engine, motor, and other parts damaged before being hit by a bird. The consequences were naturally not the same.

From the half of his body, which was covered with countless wounds after being cut by You Chen's killing move, the air blade, a large amount of blood quickly overflowed and splattered in mid-air.

Feng Zhenglong suddenly lost speed and swayed in the air. At the same time, while Feng Zhenglong regained its speed and resumed normal flight, You Chen successfully closed the distance to within a kilometer.

You Chen's maximum speed is not as fast as Feng Zhenglong's, and his remaining soul power is not enough to support his long-distance flight.

Therefore, his only course of action was to chase and attack, constantly disrupting Feng Zhenglong's flight from behind, so that the opponent would not die too far away from him!

"As long as we maintain a certain distance and prevent them from widening completely, we can continuously disrupt Feng Zhenglong from a distance by relying on the soul power recovery from the Soul Power Pill, thus maintaining this distance difference!"

You Chen's thoughts were incredibly clear.

However, Feng Zhenglong clearly wouldn't do as he wished.

If You Chen's goal was to entangle Feng Zhenglong, then Feng Zhenglong's goal was to completely shake off You Chen.

Facing You Chen, who was about to catch up, Feng Zhenglong did not hesitate and once again increased his speed to the maximum speed.

Feng Zhenglong's maximum speed is at least three times that of Youchen in normal conditions. Every second of flying in the same direction will increase the distance between them by more than 500 meters. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two will be rapidly increased again.

Seeing this, You Chen's expression grew even more somber.

He didn't expect that Feng Zhenglong, despite being hit by the wind dragon's roar and having his injuries aggravated, still accelerated to its maximum speed without any hesitation.

Such an approach undoubtedly goes against both humanity and animalistic instincts; only someone with immense courage could make such a decision.

Whether it was a lucky accident or fate itself was on Feng Zhenglong's side...

You Chen was indeed unable to unleash the fastest and longest-range Wind Dragon Roar again in a short period of time.

After being strengthened by the second ring of the second incarnation, Youchen's Wind Dragon Roar cooldown time has been shortened from the minute range to the tens of seconds range.

But in such a high-speed chase, this cooldown period is still a bit too long!

Seeing that the distance had once again increased to more than three kilometers, if he hesitated for another two seconds, most of his attacks would be unlikely to accurately hit the fast-moving Feng Zhenglong... You Chen had to make up his mind!

Storm airflow!

You Chen used this skill that seemed to have no effect whatsoever!

However, his target was not the Wind Dragon, but its surrounding environment!

Disturbed by the storm-like airflow of drifting dust, the violent natural energy in the atmosphere gathers around the storm-like airflow, directly disrupting the surrounding airflow!

Feng Zhenglong's speed was immediately affected!

The reason is simple: You Chen's all-out air blade attack only hit the left half of Feng Zhenglong's body.

The left half of the body, with such huge dragon wings, could not possibly be undamaged.

The massive blood loss, coupled with the heavy water accumulation on the dragon's wings due to the terrible thunderstorm... the left wing of the Wind Dragon must be as heavy as carrying a small mountain compared to its right wing!

Under Feng Zhenglong's powerful control, there would naturally be no problem, but You Chen deliberately disrupted the airflow on Feng Zhenglong's left side, directly disrupting Feng Zhenglong's balance!

"Chance!"

A glint flashed in You Chen's eyes, and without hesitation, he pulled out his Barrett rifle, aimed at the largest and least likely part of Feng Zhenglong's body, and fired the bullet after only a slight aim!

At this point, it doesn't matter if we can't hit a vital spot! As long as we can worsen Feng Zhenglong's injuries and prevent it from escaping, that's fine!

The bullet pierced through the rain, bursting out at an incredibly terrifying speed, and the terrifying sonic boom could be clearly heard even in this world filled with thunder.

Responding through sound would be too late; however, Feng Zhenglong's fluid skin's ability to perceive air vibrations is practically a bug.

Even with layers of rain obscuring its view, it immediately sensed the crisis that had once threatened it.

This time, however, it did not dodge. Instead, it manipulated the power of the wind and launched an attack on the lagging Youchen.

puff!

The bullet struck Feng Zhenglong precisely in the back, piercing through his abdomen and leaving a huge gash.

Feng Zhenglong crashed into the mountains below like a downed plane.

However, You Chen's condition was not good either.

At the very moment You Chen fired the bullet, Feng Zhenglong channeled his wind power and unleashed—

"A storm surge!?" You Chen's eyes widened.

As the saying goes, different paths lead to different destinations. In the end, each department may have slightly different forms of expression, but their methods will inevitably have similarities.

The wind-blown dragon's storm-like airflow also disrupted the airflow direction. This unexpected counterattack caught You Chen, who was focused on sniping, off guard, leaving him no time to react.

When flying at high speeds, any rapid change of direction, climb, or close-to-the-ground maneuver will put enormous stress on the creature, and evasive maneuvers basically require a certain degree of anticipation.

Feng Zhenglong's unexpected attack rendered You Chen's predictions ineffective, causing him to lose speed mid-air.

Unlike Feng Zhenglong, a flying master who has been flying in the sky for tens of thousands of years, You Chen only truly possessed the ability to fly long distances after his martial soul evolved into the Star Bone Dragon and he obtained the fifth ring.

Given such harsh flying conditions, with his flying skills, he couldn't possibly recover from a stall in such a short time like Feng Zhenglong.

As is well known, airplanes are not safer when they fly slower and lower; on the contrary, they are safer when they fly faster and higher. The vast majority of flight accidents actually occur during the landing process.

Compared to the veteran Feng Zhenglong, You Chen only lost speed for a few seconds and before he could recover, he also crashed into the mountain peak.

Boom! Boom! ...

Two enormous explosions rang out one after the other in the heavens and earth!

"hiss--!!!"

Crawling out of the collapsed rock pile, covered in blood, You Chen let out a pained cry in a disheveled state.

The damage from a sudden crash during high-speed flight is unimaginable; with just this one impact, You Chen felt as if his internal organs were about to shift.

But he had no time to worry about his own injuries; his immediate priority was to check on Feng Zhenglong's condition.

According to the spiritual imprint left by You Chen, Feng Zhenglong, who fell, did not die as a result, nor did he take off again, just like him.

Before You Chen could even feel happy, his sixth sense frantically warned him.

However, You Chen fell a few seconds later than Feng Zhenglong, which also made him get up a few seconds later. He didn't have time to dodge and could only switch to his second incarnation and activate his first soul skill, Sacrifice Sanctuary.

Almost at the same moment he activated his soul skill, a terrifying tornado-like breath pierced through the mountain in front of him and headed straight for his face!

It was Feng Zhenglong's signature long-range breath attack!

The raging tornado seemed to slash across You Chen's body like countless tiny knives. In just a few seconds, You Chen's body was riddled with holes, and he instantly turned into a bloody mess!

If You Chen hadn't reacted quickly and used the Sacrificial Sanctuary to weaken the damage caused by the tornado's breath, he would have lost most of his combat power!

However, the Sacred Domain of Sacrifices at the ten-thousand-year level is ultimately somewhat outdated compared to You Chen's current combat strength.

Even attacks from Soul Emperor level can still be weakened by more than 50%...

Even though the effect was improved as You Chen's soul power increased, it could only weaken the attack by up to 10% when facing an attack at the level of a Title Douluo.

Even more critically, You Chen realized that this was not the end of it.

Just as he blocked the tornado's breath, a thick dragon tail came crashing down like a pillar that could topple the sky!

It seems that Feng Zhenglong's soul power is almost depleted, which is why he needs to use his physical body for close-quarters combat!

boom!

Feng Zhenglong lashed out with his tail whip at the perfect moment, leaving You Chen no chance to react. You Chen's body was easily sent flying like a ball, piercing through several mountain peaks before finally stopping!

However, You Chen, who was sliding down the mountainside like a rag, couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

"You think I've also suffered a major blow, and that you can turn the tables?"

Looking at Feng Zhenglong, whose soul power was almost depleted and who was staring at him with cold, dragon-like eyes, You Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If you had really kept running away, I would have been afraid you would have died far away, but now... you're just courting death!"

The starlight-studded holy domain flickered for a moment, and You Chen's soul power within the domain instantly transformed into holy healing light. The domain suddenly contracted, shrinking from a radius of a hundred meters to a small ring that only radiated half a meter around You Chen, and then disappeared completely. In the blink of an eye, most of You Chen's severe injuries were healed.

The ability of the Sacrifice Sanctuary is that whenever the user is attacked, soul power will accumulate within the sanctuary. Users can gain absolute invincibility for a period of time by consuming a large amount of soul power at once and releasing the sanctuary, or perform a healing.

Feng Zhenglong's two attacks did indeed severely injure You Chen, but at the same time, they also nearly reached the upper limit of the domain's stored soul power.

The general characteristic of domain skills is that they do not consume much soul power. Moreover, You Chen was not fighting in a group, but only maintaining the smallest range. The soul power consumption for such a long time is probably not even at the level of a hundred-year soul skill.

In other words, You Chen barely consumed any soul power, only suffering minor injuries, yet he still managed to deplete Feng Zhenglong's remaining soul power.

Of course, unlike other soul skills without cooldown, once the domain is shattered and consumed, it cannot be reactivated in a short time. But now... there's no need to reactivate the Sacrifice Sanctuary.

Upon seeing You Chen recover completely in an instant, Feng Zhenglong's pupils constricted instantly.

Even soul beasts would likely feel despair at this moment.

Always maintaining the pride of being the overlord of the Disaster Mountain Range, calmly dealing with You Chen, always making the most correct decisions, and never showing any signs of losing control of his emotions, Feng Zhenglong seemed to be singing a hymn to the courage of soul beasts in the face of human soul masters... This time, his eyes finally turned crimson.

"Roar~——!!!!!"

Completely breached, the Wind Dragon, driven by extreme madness and rage, unleashed its Wind Armor. With no soul power left, it directly squeezed its own life force, burning its life force to stimulate its soul power.

Centered on itself, a terrifying tornado, far more ferocious and terrifying than the previous tornado breath, rises up.

The storm is focusing, and the celestial phenomena are changing.

As the eye of the storm, Feng Zhenglong rushed towards You Chen at lightning speed, determined to perish together with him.

Such a terrifying scene would make even a titled Douluo tremble with fear, deeply regret his provocation, and then go to hell to repent.

But You Chen's eyes remained calm, like a still pool of water, silently watching Feng Zhenglong descend into madness.

"Super Focus, 270% Output, Soul-Sealing Technique!"

The mental energy that had been almost completely consumed from beginning to end was now pouring out like it was free.

Madness does not mean a strong mind; rather, it means a broken and flawed mind.

Compared to the previous Feng Zhenglong, who was absolutely calm and so calm that he was not like a soul beast at all, the berserk Feng Zhenglong is obviously less resistant to mental attacks.

Two burning black suns crushed Feng Zhenglong's already shattered spiritual world.

Immediately, the out-of-control soul power went completely berserk, and the ruler of the Calamity Mountain Range headed towards destruction and self-destruction.

On the ground where no remains of the dead lay a soul ring, its deep black surface now tinged with a red glow, and a soul bone.

Seeing this, You Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, strode forward, first put the soul bone into the storage soul tool, then separated an avatar to protect it, and then looked at the black and red soul ring, his eyes filled with fervor.

Judging from the information gathered by the Soul Beast Organization a few years ago, Feng Zhenglong's strength has increased again, and he has probably reached the 90,000-year realm.

But whether it's 88,000 years or 90,000 years, it's the same for You Chen.

He switched back to his previous incarnation, sat cross-legged, incorporated the spirit ring into his martial soul, and used a ten-thousand-year-level spirit ring age enhancement card without hesitation.

In an instant, the seventh ring on the martial soul turned completely red.
