Chapter 1343 - 676: Shadow Dragon Injured!
"What other skills do you have?"
Liang Yuan quickly asked.
"There’s another attack skill called [Absolute Zero Ray]!"
"Absolute Zero Ray?"
Liang Yuan was surprised and said, "An Ice Attribute attack skill?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Let’s give it a try."
Ding Yan said, "I’ll give it a try."
She was competitive, wanting to see what was special about Zhao Kai’s amazing Defense Power.
Liang Yuan also wanted to see how Zhao Kai’s [Absolute Zero Ray] performed among peers of the same level.
Zhao Kai nodded immediately, the Giant Turtle twisting its neck and making a sound: "Be careful, Sister Ding."
Ding Yan flapped her wings and said, "Bring it on."
Suddenly, the Cool Abyss Giant Turtle was enveloped in cold air. On its shell, a massive amount of frost energy surged, mysterious runes lit up, and the icy blue light rapidly gathered in the Giant Turtle’s mouth.
"Boom!"
The Giant Turtle suddenly opened its mouth, followed by a massive shockwave that instantly tore through the air, rushing rapidly towards Ding Yan’s Lunia Energy Beast!
Ding Yan immediately responded with an Energy Explosion Wave, throwing a powerful punch against the blue shockwave!
Boom!
The two shockwaves clashed, exploding with a massive sound in mid-air.
In the next instant, the blue energy wave of the Cool Abyss Giant Turtle was suppressed, then uncontrollably retreated.
The Cool Abyss Giant Turtle immediately activated the Zero-Degree Armor!
Boom!
The energy shockwave hit the shell of the Giant Turtle, dispersing into nothingness.
Zhao Kai let out a bitter laugh: "It seems my Absolute Zero Ray’s Attack Power is far inferior to Sister Ding’s."
Ding Yan was also slightly panting, laughing: "This is inherently a Defensive type of Mutant Beast, if its Attack Power is also that formidable, how would others survive?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "As I see it, Zhao Kai, this skill of yours probably isn’t a pure attack skill. Try attacking me, I won’t defend."
"Okay!"
Zhao Kai didn’t hesitate, given Liang Yuan’s prowess.
Even standing still, he couldn’t possibly hurt Liang Yuan.
Boom!
A burst of Absolute Zero Ray exploded, directly hitting Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan didn’t dodge or evade, letting the ray strike him.
In an instant, a terrifyingly low temperature engulfed him, directly turning Liang Yuan into an ice sculpture!
Fortunately, Liang Yuan had already gathered a Barrier around himself, which the Absolute Zero Ray only froze the outer layer of the Barrier. Yet, the cold air still penetrated, spreading towards Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan immediately activated the Ice Bear Gene, significantly increasing his resistance to cold.
Only then did he withstand the icy power.
"This Absolute Zero Ray can unleash extremely low-temperature attacks, instantaneously freezing opponents, causing them to fall into paralysis and sluggish special negative states."
"It can even directly freeze opponents."
"Of course, the prerequisite is hitting the opponent."
Liang Yuan analyzed the Cool Abyss Giant Turtle’s capability.
"This ability, while its Attack Power effect isn’t strong, leans more towards a Control skill."
"It’s quite useful for combat assistance."
Liang Yuan gave his evaluation.
Next, the three of them experimented with each other’s abilities multiple times; with Liang Yuan as a skilled target, Zhao Kai and Ding Yan could unleash their skills freely, testing their capabilities.
Until two days later, Li Qinghua still hadn’t emerged, Zhao Kai and Ding Yan sensed something was amiss.
"Brother Liang, could something have happened to Qinghua?" Zhao Kai asked.
Liang Yuan sensed for a moment, confirmed Li Qinghua’s aura was still there, and shook his head slightly: "No worries, he’s still making a breakthrough."
Ding Yan asked with a hint of confusion: "Why is his breakthrough so difficult?"
Liang Yuan chuckled: "He’s different from you. You have been with me, seldom consuming mutated species’ blood and flesh, so you have few mixed genes within, making breakthroughs smoother."
"But he joined us later, consuming quite a bit of mutated flesh during that time, hence he has more mixed genes in him."
"This gene recombination requires him to overcome challenges far greater than yours."
"Additionally, the Space Gene Species are inherently rare abilities, with few such genes within his body, making gene recombination more challenging."
"Don’t worry, give him some time."
In fact, if it weren’t for Liang Yuan redeeming a Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device, Li Qinghua’s chances to breakthrough gene recombination would indeed be slim.
Just like Gu Jianye, who is still detained in Meishan’s dungeon.
This fellow’s Superpower is ’Word Spirit,’ a kind of causal gene species.
His Main Attribute has long been at 100 points, yet he had been stuck at 100 points, unable to make a breakthrough in gene recombination.
The main reason is that causal gene species are inherently niche genes, occupying a minuscule proportion among countless genes within the body.
Moreover, he has consumed a significant amount of Exotic Beast blood and flesh, having numerous mixed genes within him, making breakthroughs precarious.
Of course, this refers to normal ways to breakthrough gene recombination.
With auxiliary equipment, there’s hope.
Like Li Qinghua currently, attempting a breakthrough by himself is naturally challenging.
But with the aid of the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device, it can certainly help reduce the breakthrough difficulty.
It ultimately depends on his own fate how much longer it will take.
"Next, compile a list of anyone who has reached 100 points and needs to breakthrough gene recombination. Have them submit Points quickly, then they can use the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device for assistance."
"Our Yangshan will soon see many experts breaking through gene recombination, and by then, we will be the largest Shelter assembly point in all of Linjiang."
"Even the military won’t be able to keep up with us."
By then, the alliance between the two sides might need to change.
Yangshan should assert absolute dominance in the alliance.
No matter the reason, the military won’t be able to stop Yangshan from unifying Linjiang.
As for the Celestial Abyss and Abyss, Liang Yuan will conquer those places sooner or later!
"Brother Liang, are you leaving?" Zhao Kai keenly sensed the hint of departure in Liang Yuan’s words.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, his expression grave, and said, "Something definitely happened over at the Dark Abyss Mouth. Three days have passed, and not a word has come back. I must go and see."
"Brother Liang, maybe I should go instead," Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say.
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "Chang Yuntao isn’t easy to deal with. Who knows what he’s up to. Last time, I wasn’t confident, so I didn’t go onto the island to check."
"This time, my gene recombination progress has reached 20%. I can totally crush him."
"Don’t worry, I will come back quickly."
That afternoon, Liang Yuan flew alone once again toward the Dark Abyss Mouth.
A mere few minutes later, he had already arrived above the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth.
But as soon as he arrived, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"This—"
To his surprise, a gigantic ice attribute barrier, like massive glass, enveloped the entire Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth!
This layer of barrier seemed to freeze the entire Mouth of the Dark Abyss.
Inside, dark attribute energies continuously circulated but could not escape.
Liang Yuan noticed that at the edge of the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, there were many people frozen in ice.
They wore faces of terror as though they had witnessed something unimaginable before they died.
Liang Yuan took a deep breath, a grim expression on his face.
"Does Chang Yuntao have such power? To freeze the entire Mouth of the Dark Abyss?"
He felt something was amiss and swiftly flew toward the ice barrier.
He circled around the barrier and quickly noticed something!
"No, this is a rune array!"
Liang Yuan saw that every five kilometers or so on the frozen barrier, an ice-blue rune flickered.
These runes were the very source maintaining the freezing power!
Someone had set up this super freezing rune array, freezing the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth!
This array even blocked his and the shadow dragon’s senses!
Bang!
Liang Yuan punched the entire frozen great array!
Instantly, a loud noise erupted, and a fearsome bear’s paw shattered the outer layer of ice.
But the next moment, the ice-blue runes flickered, and the blasted ice layer repaired itself at a visible speed.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan squinted his eyes.
Without a word, he directly gathered into an Ice Star form.
The next moment, an Ice Star Collision came crashing down!
Rumble!
A massive icy sphere, with a diameter of one kilometer, slammed fiercely into the ice-sealed great array.
With a tremendous sound, the frozen barrier shattered.
From afar, it looked as if a meteor had collided with the icy sphere.
Cracks spread all over the ice ball, and it shattered with a thunderous explosion, opening a huge hole.
Liang Yuan’s figure penetrated the thick ice layer and landed inside the Dark Abyss Mouth.
He returned to human form, looking at the massive ice hole he had created in the sky above.
A cold wind poured in, with heavy snowflakes falling.
Liang Yuan felt the terrifying low-temperature environment here.
His expression changed slightly, "This ice barrier is not only freezing the exterior of the Dark Abyss Mouth but also continuously releasing cold air, altering the Mouth’s attributes, and rejecting its dark attribute energy!"
"No, Chang Yuntao absolutely couldn’t have done this!"
Liang Yuan was horrified in his heart.
He quickly hurried toward Fan Mountain Town.
"I hope Wu Ying and the others are okay!"
Liang Yuan sped forward, arriving at the town in an instant.
He saw that the original barrier was still there, but inside, the mutated sunflowers were already on the brink of death.
Fan Mountain Town had built a small bright town within the Dark Abyss Mouth, reliant on the mutated sunflowers.
Now, as the cold froze the Dark Abyss Mouth, the mutated sunflowers couldn’t withstand the low temperatures and were about to wither.
The entire town appeared in the scene of a dim sunset.
Liang Yuan quickly entered the town, scanning around, his mood growing darker.
Fan Mountain Town was in ruins, seemingly having suffered a war.
Buildings collapsed, the ground cracked, and ravines crisscrossed.
There were also many corpses and bloodstains.
Liang Yuan closed his eyes to sense and immediately detected the presence of the Heart Core.
"The shadow dragon is still there!"
He opened his eyes, a flash of determination in them, and quickly slipped underground.
Moments later, he arrived deep underground, in that Brain Lake.
The Brain Lake was pitch black, where once active many shadow dragons had vanished.
Liang Yuan followed the direction of the sense, moving forward.
Soon, he arrived at the space where he had originally discovered the shadow dragon.
With a slight sense, he immediately found out that the shadow dragon had turned this space into a shadow.
The auras of Han Xiangman, Wu Ying, Zhang Peng, and others were vividly within.
"Roar!"
The shadow dragon seemed to sense Liang Yuan’s presence, immediately letting out a soft roar.
Soon after, it took the initiative to swim out from the space.
Liang Yuan said nothing, transforming directly into a shadow form, stepping in.
The man and dragon met inside the shadow space.
Liang Yuan looked at the shadow dragon, his expression changing involuntarily, "You’re injured!"
