Roar ~!

Cang Yun finally met his first Wild Beast, the ninth grade, deep within the sea of fire that had returned to the Ruins.

This was an Earth Dragon. Legend had it that there was a trace of a True Dragon's bloodline within it. Thus, it was an extremely strong existence among the savage Spiritual Beasts.

Moreover, from what Cang Yun knew, the most common wild spirit beast within the depths of this sea of fire was the land dragon. This was one of the reasons why people speculated that a fire dragon was buried here.

Swish!

Facing this land dragon, Cang Yun unsheathed his Blue Peak Sword.

A Rank 9 Desolate Spirit Beast was extremely powerful, especially a Rank 9 Desolate Spirit Beast that had already started condensing into a Nihility God. Its strength was completely different from an ordinary Desolate Spirit Beast.

This was also the reason why there were so few martial artists who could start forming their Nihility God Stage before the Void God Mirror. Ordinary martial artists simply didn't have the strength to kill a ninth level savage spirit beast.

Most of the geniuses in the Azure Province had gathered in the Holy City, but only a hundred of them had truly formed a Nihility God. From this, one could see how difficult it was, there were even some peerless geniuses that wanted to complete this step, but they ended up dying under the claws of the Spirit Beasts.

Rumble …

The moment it saw Cang Yun, the Earth Dragon did not hesitate at all. With its beast nature exploding forth, it directly charged forward with earth-shaking steps.

Although the Earth Dragon was not a real dragon, its body was still exceptionally powerful. Its entire body was covered with fiery red scales. The size of a palm-leaf fan was an indestructible sensation.

Seeing this, Cang Yun did not dare to receive it head on. The Origin Power around his body surged as his figure dodged to the side.

One man and one dragon moved to the side. Both sides instantly stopped moving.

Swish!

However, as soon as Cang Yun stopped, a strong sense of danger instantly approached.

Cang Yun did not even think as he reflexively moved backwards, and a huge tail quickly swept past his face.

That fierce wind even caused Cang Yun's face to feel pain.

"What a powerful combat ability, such a fast speed." Cang Yun couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

This Rank 9 Savage Spirit Beast was indeed well-deserved of its reputation. Its strength was definitely enough to instantly kill many warriors of the ninth layer of the Secret Treasure, just like the Thousand Feet Fire Silkworm that Cang Yun had encountered earlier. The only difference between the two was that the Earth Dragon and the Thousand Feet Fire Silkworm had different fighting styles. The former was better at close combat while the latter was better at sneak attacks.

Tap!

The next moment, Cang Yun dashed forward and thrusted out his Cyan Peak Sword.

He completely displayed the Concept of the Sword.

The speed of the sword was extremely quick. Like the sound of thunder and lightning, the sword stabbed into the Earth Dragon's enormous body before it could even react.

Ding ~!

However, as the sword descended, there was only a sound of metal colliding. Cang Yun's sword seemed to have stabbed into a steel plate, the sword's body had only entered five to six centimeters before it was unable to approach any further. To the enormous body of the Earth Dragon, a wound like this was simply harmless.

The expression on Cang Yun's face changed. The Earth Dragon's defense was simply beyond his imagination. After all, the Blue Peak Sword in his hand was extraordinary, yet it was unable to even break through the Earth Dragon's defense.

In the next moment, Cang Yun immediately retreated.

Roar ~!

The Earth Dragon let out an angry roar. Even though the azure cloud only left a small wound, it was still an unbearable provocation, causing its ferocity to increase once again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The berserk dragon was clearly more ferocious than before. Every attack caused the ground to shake. Every time it increased its speed, the rocks on the ground would shake.

Just by relying on the strength of the body, one could see how powerful the body of an Earth Dragon was.

As for Cang Yun, he could only constantly dodge as he did not dare to take this kind of force head-on. However, he was not always in a passive position, as long as there was an opportunity, he would not hesitate to stab with his Cyan Peak Sword. Even though it wasn't a deadly threat to the land dragon, it still left some damage to its body every time.

Gradually, more than ten sword wounds were left on the Earth Dragon's body. Blood flowed out, dyeing half of its body red.

This made the Earth Dragon even angrier. The tiny human in front of it was like a slippery loach, and no matter how it fought, it could not hit it. What was angrier was that this loach would occasionally come out to take a bite.

The Landwyrm knew that it couldn't continue like this. If this went on, it would eventually be exhausted to death by this cunning human.

Roar ~!

The next moment, the Earth Dragon suddenly stopped attacking. It let out a furious roar, and this roar actually contained the power of a dragon.

What was even stranger was that a dazzling fiery light suddenly blossomed from the body of the land dragon. Within the fiery light, a majestic and massive figure appeared.

It was the image of a fire dragon!

Cang Yun's expression changed. He knew that this land dragon had finally started to summon his Nihility God.

Summoning a Nihility God was an ability that only when the power of the Nihility God reached a certain level could it be obtained. Spirit Beasts could rely on this ability to obtain extremely powerful strength in a short period of time.

Therefore, it could be seen that this land dragon had already reached the ninth stage today, and was far more powerful than the Thousand-Legged Fire Silkworm from before.

In the next moment, the fire dissipated.

However, this was not a disappearance. Instead, it had turned into a surge of power that flowed into the Earth Dragon's body.

Cang Yun discovered that the Earth Dragon's body had clearly changed. Its fiery-red scales were even more demonic and bright red like blood, and the wounds that Cang Yun had left behind also disappeared without a trace. At the same time, an even larger wave of power erupted from the Earth Dragon's body.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, Cang Yun only felt a blur in front of him, and instantly lost sight of the Earth Dragon.

At the same time, an extremely strong sense of danger rose from behind him.

Cang Yun's expression instantly changed. His source energy crazily stirred as he also channeled his pure Yang energy. His body shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

Bang ~!

Almost at the same time, a loud sound rang out from where he had been standing.

"Such a fast speed!"

Cang Yun turned around, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

The Landwyrm's speed was at least twice as fast as before, and its strength was clearly stronger as well.

This was the strongest power of this land dragon. After summoning the Nihility God Stage, its overall strength had clearly risen by a huge amount. This was something that an ordinary Rank 9 Savage Spirit Beast could not compare with.

Cang Yun also felt the heavy pressure for the first time. If not for the fact that he had absorbed the thousand foot fire silkworm's Void God strength and multiplied his strength, he would have died under the claws of this land dragon.

While Cang Yun was lamenting, the earth dragon once again charged over. Its enormous body borrowed its terrifying speed to create a powerful airflow that was as sharp as a hurricane.

Cang Yun gathered all of his thoughts and crazily circulated the pure Yang energy in his body. While he was carefully avoiding the attack, his body was also secretly storing energy.

Cang Yun knew that the Earth Dragon's Nihility God Summoning state wouldn't last for long, and if he wasn't able to attack for too long, the Earth Dragon would most likely launch its final attack.

At that time, it would be the deciding factor.
