<h4>Chapter 1330: Duel to Death</h4>
The warlock who had transnted the bloodline of a vampire could not break the fiery tree’s defense at all. Besides, the fiery tree was already a projection of thew of fire. He certainly couldn’t suck any blood from it…
On the contrary, the fiery treeunched mes back at him. The mes turned into a cage, and burned this guy who reeked of the stench of blood. He would’ve been burnt into ashes if he hadn’t been making use of the power of the rivers of blood on the battlefield…
Burning mana was absolutely useless too because the mes on the fiery tree were powered by mana to begin with. They were actually burning the warlock’s mana. As more mes were burning, more of the warlock’s mana was incinerated.
With the fiery tree as their support, and plus the magic crystals that Lin Yun had prepared for them, the legion mages could easily defeat a level-5 Heaven Rank expert in a war of attrition, not to mention a warlock only in level 1 of the Heaven Rank…
The venomous poisons had been burnt up before they approached. The mental shriek was blocked by the fiery tree.
The seven warlocks who had transnted their bloodlines had been either suppressed or trapped. They would be burned to death when their mana was neutralized by the mes. Then, they would be restrained by the fiery tree…
In a dozen minutes, all the seven bloodline transnters had been suppressed. Had it not been for the monster’s control and protection and its mana support, they would’ve all been burned to death.
On the other hand, in Reina’s battle, three of the five bloodline transnters had been sealed in transparent blue ice. Inside the ice, even mana had been frozen. Their power was frozen too. The horrifying frigidity kept everything inside the ice the same. There were even mes that had been frozen.
One of the remaining two bloodline transnters had been impaled on the ground with ck ice spears in his limbs. Before he could break free, another couple ice spears had flown out and prated his shoulders and thighs. The terrifying power of ice spread out and stiffened his body. His blood had been frozen before it gushed out.
Thest bloodline transnter had turned into a half human and half beast. He looked like one of the tiger hybrids. He had dashed to Reina, and was tearing Reina’s ice shield crazily with his sharp ws.
The attack was futile. Also, when other bloodline transnters were controlled, bloody mes arose on the skin of the man. His bones seemed to be cracking and expanding too. He expanded dozens of times in one second, turning into a monster that was dozens of meters tall. A violent and terrible aura rose around him crazily. He advanced to level 3 of the Heaven Rank instantly.
Reina seemed rather surprised, and then frowned. Silver light glittered on her body. She transformed into her original self—a Frost Dragon. She wandered in midair, and spouted icy brilliance.
The monster that was aze with bloody mes charged. The crystallized beasts that were in its way all withered and rotted when the bloody mes touched them, as if their vitality had been burnt up instantly.
Reina opened her mouth, and spouted a mouthful of icy brilliance. Her absolute zero breath hit the terrifying monster immediately.
Instantly, the monster was covered in ice. After he took another two steps, the bloody mes on his skin were extinguished. He stood on the ground like an enormous ice sculpture…
There was barely any suspense in the battles of the legion mages and Reina. The dozen bloodline transnters of the Thorny Crown had all been suppressed. If they hadn’t all crystallized from inside to outside, and if they hadn’t wielded the power of the Heaven Rank, they would’ve been killed instead of being suppressed.
The iron army of alchemy puppets had alreadypletely blocked the violent beasts. Like an enormous mincer, the iron army continuously reaped the lives of the gigantic insects that were charging forward. They couldn’t break through the line of defense no matter what.
The battle between Xiuban and Sheldon was the fiercest. After bathing in the Ancient God Blood, Xiuban was unable to make use of elemental or magic power. However, as his bloodline power increased, the Ancient God Blood had beenpletely melted into his system, and it didn’t have any more restraints.
Although he could already make use of elemental power and even cast spells, Xiuban was the most familiar with the support and enhancement spells. He still counted on his physical strength in battles.
Sheldon, on the other hand, had transnted the bloodline of a demon whose ranking was low among the 72 pure-blooded demons. He was a poor spell caster, but he had inherited the demon’s strong body. Adding the demon’s horns that he had transnted, he fought like a real demon instead of a warrior who had transnted a bloodline.
After Sheldon was temporarily controlled and crystallized, the side effects of his bloodline were suppressed. The monster didn’t care whether or not Sheldon would be killed if he overused his bloodline power. He was surrounded by ck smoke, and he had grown almost four meters tall. Demon power was gathering in his hand into a spear that was more than five meters long with the support of the monster’s power.
Xiuban, on the other hand, had a skin that was glimmering with the color of blood. His eyes had turned bloodshot too. There seemed to be ayer of invisible mes around his body. The power of tornadoes helped him control his body like elves.
Carnage had beenpletely enshrouded in the power of earth. It turned ck and brown, and weighed at least 1,000 tons. When it was gently waved, the air around it would be squeezed. Lightning was attached to its surface, carrying pure and horrifying power.
Holding Carnage, Xiuban charged at Sheldon, roaring and smashing him with a horrifying force Carnage was imbued with. Immediately, the air was trembling, and the mana and air that had dispersed in midair could not withstand the brutal force. They were all squeezed and exploded, causing noises around Xiuban. The cracking elements were rumbling.
Sheldon was expressionless. The demon horns above his forehead emitted vague ck light. In the middle of the ck smoke, Sheldon’s body transformed again, and gradually turned into a demon. He released all of his bloodline power, and turned into a half human and half demon monster.
Facing Xiuban’s attack, Sheldon held his enormous ck spear with both hands. The spear had been covered in ck smoke too. The demon power had been crystallized too, and transformed into a most terrifying weapon.
The spear, which looked like a ck crystal, collided with Xiuban’s Carnage. Immediately, all the mana, elements, and air within a radius of dozens of meters were pushed out. No sound could be heard. A glittering st spread out from the point of impact.
Immediately, an enormous circle 1,000 meters in diameter appeared. The st that rose to the sky disappeared, and the st that struck the ground looked like a giant’s de that cut the ground brutally.
On the ground, an enormous gap that was several meters wide and hundreds of meters long appeared. The crystallized beasts that had been gathered where the gap used to be vanished. They were all torn apart by the horrifying st.
After the enormous circle of st spread out, the mana, air, and elements that had been pushed away rolled back to fill the vacuum. Xiuban and Sheldon had collided. Carnage and the ck crystal spear were stuck to each other like mas. Everything between them had been shattered. It was a pure collision of strength, which was even more terrifying than a collision of spells.
The two weapons were not really attracting each other; Xiuban and Sheldon were simply pressing them against each other, hoping to crush their enemy with their strength.
At this moment, whoever was unable to hold on and moved back would have to face not just their enemy’s strength, but also the energy that had been umted in the collision.
The air and mana that had rolled back into the vacuum collided continuously, and rolled and retracted like a lightning ball towards the two men in the center.
The power that had rolled back hit Xiuban and Sheldon, and broke the bnce. The two of them immediately turned into two blurry shadows and vanished.
The umted power burst out. Neither Xiuban nor Sheldon was able to resist. Both of them were flung away. A dark hollow spread out where they used to be, and collided with the power that had rolled back.
A deafening noise echoed, as if the sky had copsed. There was nothing but darkness in a radius of several hundred meters. The space was like broken crystals and filled with cracked pieces. Then, the cracked pieces gradually reassembled and recovered.
In the sky, Xiuban and Sheldon reappeared. They were a couple of kilometers away from each other. The ck spear in Sheldon’s hand had crumbled into crystallized ck smoke, and floated around him like grains of ice. Those grains of ice quickly assembled into another ck spear.
Sheldon’s crystallized body had tiny cracks because of the explosion, but it was quickly healing too. In only two seconds, he hadpletely recovered.
On the other hand, Xiuban was breathing heavily. The red light on his skin was burning like mes. The tattoo of the abyssal dragon appeared on his skin, and then slithered to his shoulder with a scary smile, gazing at Sheldon with craziness and brutality in its eyes.
Xiuban had been hit head-on in the explosion. He didn’t even protect himself with the crystal dragon’s bloodline power, but there were only vague marks on his skin. In the blink of an eye, those marks disappeared too.
Having absorbed the most terrifying dragon bloodlines and awakened his own dragon bloodline, and adding the power of the Ancient God Blood, Xiuban was already much sturdier than his level suggested. He was a tank that couldn’t be destroyed.
Xiuban was most distinguished for his body’s toughness, not his unbelievable physical strength. After he had advanced into the Heaven Rank andpleted the transformation, his bloodline power and the Ancient God Blood had melted, making his body even more unreasonably invulnerable.
Xiuban would emerge unscathed even if he were to resist a level-9 spell with his body. The weaker level-9 spells wouldn’t even be able to break his thick skin.
Although Xiuban was usually scared of death, and loved hoarding Health Potions, he forgot all those things in battles. The instinct in his blood made him forget everything except smashing his opponent into a pulp of meat…
His attack didn’t really wound Sheldon. Xiuban looked quite angry, and his eyes were gradually enshrouded in redness. The power of the Abyssal Blood Dragon doubled his strength. Then, the power of the Three-Headed Golden Dragon emerged, adding a golden hue to his red skin. The Three-Headed Golden Dragon’s power made Xiuban even stronger.
The most powerful Three-Headed Golden Dragon was even able to fight gods without being defeated. In terms of physical strength, it was definitely the best of all dragons.
The bloodline power of the Ancient Poison Dragon emerged too, and echoed with Carnage, which was made of an Ancient Poison Dragon’s spine. As if the Ancient Poison Dragon were reborn, Carnage was empowered again and covered in glimmering light. It increased Xiuban’s physical strength and his defense.
Xiuban’s eyes turnedpletely bloodshot. That was berserk. Only beastmen with powerful bloodlines were able to go berserk twice.
After his eyes turned bloodshot, Xiubanpletely lost his rationality. As if the animal in his heart had been woken up, all that he could think of was to kill Sheldon, and whoever stood in his way would be his enemy.
Even gods or Lin Yun would not be able to talk Xiuban into giving up the thought…
Suppressed roars sounded in Xiuban’s throat. A terrifying aura was spreading in the air. Even the insane crystallized beasts on the ground seemed to have felt a fatal crisis. They were instinctively moving away from Xiuban.
Bang…
Sheldon smashed Xiuban’s shoulder with his ck spear, causing a deafening noise. The spear fell apart into smoke, and Xiuban’s left shoulder slightly lowered. There was a shallow mark on it.
The next moment, Xiuban held Carnage in his right hand, and put on a scary smile. He grabbed Sheldon’s right arm and pulled it, and then kicked his abdomen with his right knee. The crystals on Sheldon’s abdomen were cracking. More were condensing, but the new ones were broken quickly too.
Sheldon was not really wounded. Only the crystal defenses were broken. However, he still bent under the attack. Xiuban stabbed his left hand into Sheldon’s abdomen like a sharp de. Then, he flew upwards, and headbutted Sheldon with a crazy smile.
With a crack, one of Sheldon’s demon horns broke. He was immediately stunned. Even the monster that controlled Sheldon seemed to be confused. On Xiuban’s forehead, there was only a red mark. Even his skin wasn’t broken.
When Sheldon was stunned, Xiuban appeared over him. He held Carnage with both hands, and smashed it against Sheldon’s chest.
As if a lightning bolt was striking down, Sheldon was hit in the chest, and a tremendous number of crystals fell apart. Sheldon’s chest copsed, and his crystallized flesh exploded. ck smoke was gushing out too.
The ck smoke spread throughout his body, and blood that looked like sticky ink gushed out too. Instantly, Sheldon turned into aplete demon. His face changed, and his broken demon horn grew back.
His back became even broader, and his hands became demon ws. His spine extended, and grew into a thick demon tail. Moreover, his legs had changed too, and looked like those of a fly. His feet had only three fingers left. He rose a dozen meters tall…
Even though he was turning into a demon, he was unable to resist that strike. He quickly fell to the ground like a meteor that was falling from the sky.
With a boom, smoke and dust spread out on the ground. There was a pit with a radius of 1,000 meters partly hidden in the smoke and dust. Around the pit, thick cracks stretched hundreds of meters from the center.
A pure demon power erupted from the pit. Sheldon was lying at the bottom of the pit. His chest had copsed, and his skin had cracked. His ribs had been mostly broken too. From his cracked skin and flesh, it could be seen that his crystallized heart was beating fast, and that plumes of smoke were bursting out with his every heartbeat.
The crystallized pieces of his flesh voluntarily flew back to Sheldon’s body, and his broken bones were reset on their own. Supported by the demon power, he was quickly healed.
Sheldon rolled his head, and raised it expressionlessly. He struggled back to his feet. But all of a sudden, a shadow had broken through the dust and smoke above his head. Carnage extended from the smoke, and all the smoke and dust were pushed aside, as if they encountered a raging gale.
With bloodshot eyes and a scary and crazy smile on his face, Xiuban smashed Sheldon’s shoulder, holding Carnage so hard that veins were protruding on his arm.
