Chapter 297 Special Forces Are Paramount
Almost at the moment when the black sun reached its zenith, the two unlucky souls who had been chased by the white dragon finally approached the altar.
Xiang Yang suddenly pulled his hand out of the bag, holding a crystal so large it could blot out the sky, and slammed it down on the altar.
The old man with the dried corpse on the side kept activating his ability. The power of the saint's remains transferred the calamity to the three, making it impossible for Modi's fatal strike to identify their fatal points.
"The Great Annihilation has been deployed, run!" Xiang Yang shouted, but what he saw next overturned his understanding.
Before the Great Annihilation, the Black Sun reached its zenith and ceased to move, like an eye suspended in the dome, coldly watching over the world.
At this moment, Mordy, who was under the shadow of the God of Light, accepted the ascension to become an apostle of the deceased God of Light with his body that had stepped onto the path of light.
Due to the special nature of the ritual, he became a Dragon Slayer Apostle, possessing only the identity and corresponding authority, but not the matching Immortal rank.
But that's enough. Reaching the top in one step is no easy feat. For him, having the ability of the Dragon Slayer Apostle to interfere with the Death Ray, and the special attack against Elder Dragons that it represents, is enough.
He reached out his hand towards the other side of the sea, his face hidden in the shadows, making his expression unreadable.
Beyond the sea, something was indeed responding to his call; according to the authority of the Dragon Hunter Apostle, it was undoubtedly the Death Ray.
Without hesitation, he activated his authority, guiding the Death Ray to continue its intended function.
A dragon's roar suddenly resounded, its sound laced with pain and rage.
Beyond the sea, an ancient dragon, imprisoned by the concept of death, was furious and ferocious. It saw Mordi, and Mordi sensed it. The conflict between the two was irreconcilable, and their first meeting was a fight to the death.
As luck would have it, the death ray's uprising created a loophole in the cage, the first time in history that such an opportunity had ever been created, and it indeed seized it.
The dragon's claws reached out and seized the loophole. Its massive body charged wildly, crushing everything in its path and finally escaping the cage that had imprisoned it for countless years.
"If it were a complete death ray, it could indeed kill me instantly, but unfortunately it isn't."
Breathing in the outside air, this ferocious beast from ancient times stared at Modi, slightly opening its mouth and emitting a rough sound like thick rock.
"The only thing you overlooked was this, and perhaps I should thank you... after you died."
Modi ignored the ancient dragon, which had become quite talkative after being silent for so long, and stared intently at its rock-like back.
Several gashes were etched on the ancient dragon's back, their depth unknown, radiating a cold, icy glow.
That is the death ray, or rather, the afterglow remaining after the death ray has taken effect.
"This world is filled with the lingering effects of the death ray. After crashing into the void, that ray managed to escape, but it was no longer whole."
Gu Long continued rambling, reciting whatever fragments of his memories came to mind, completely oblivious to the crystal that was about to explode.
"What...what a powerful being this is!" The old man exclaimed in disbelief.
Xiang Yang looked solemn. The two of them stopped in mid-air and did not continue their escape plan.
It's not that they don't want to run, it's that they simply can't run.
From the moment that ancient dragon appeared, the air became stagnant, like a swamp, and they were like insects trapped in amber, unable to move.
Everyone present was forced to become Gu Long's audience, forced to listen attentively as he vented the pent-up frustration accumulated over countless ages.
Even the crystal that was about to explode seemed to have gone silent; the energy nearing the critical point was suppressed and could not be released at all.
Unchanging and constant—this is the power of the ancient dragons, manifested not only in their rock-like scales but also in the environment around them.
Modi tried to move his hands and feet, and surprisingly, it was smooth. The authority of the Dragon Slayer Apostle broke his static state and also allowed time to flow again for him.
Gu Long noticed him, the only oddity who could move amidst the stagnation.
The confusion on its face vanished in an instant, and it affirmed, "Yes, you may have obtained the status of an apostle by trickery, but the authority you hold is real. But so what? It doesn't erase the gap in our power."
"Whether it works or not, we'll have to try to find out." His expression remained calm. With the authority of a Dragon Hunter Apostle, the ancient dragon's might had no effect on him.
With a flick of his wrist, a spear of light appeared in his hand. Without a second thought, Modi hurled it at the enormous creature before him.
The true ancient dragon was much larger than the hybrid that Mordy had seen. When it stood on the sea, it was like a wall rising from the sea, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The condensed light spear was nothing more than a toothpick in front of it, posing no threat whatsoever, but Modi still made his move.
He knew his own limitations; with his apostle's body, he probably couldn't harm this dying old dragon.
No matter how dying an ancient dragon may be, as long as it retains its unchanging characteristics, its condition is destined not to continue to decline.
Therefore, this spear of light was not intended to cause damage at all.
In an instant, the spear of light broke through the stagnation caused by the ancient dragon, crossed the barrier of the spatial plane, and pierced its scales.
The light flowed like water, softening the scales and seeping into them. In just a moment, the scales returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"That's it?" Gu Long scratched the spot where he had been stabbed. "It doesn't hurt at all. Your skill in the Path of Light is far inferior to that of your predecessors."
"That's for sure. How long have I been on the Path of Light? Even with cheat codes, I can't possibly compare to a true Dragon Slayer Apostle. After all, which immortal in all realms doesn't have cheat codes?"
Modi took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. "It's about time."
Upon hearing this seemingly random statement, Gu Long's pupils constricted, and a sense of unease surged from all parts of his body, especially from the light scars on his back.
For the first time, it hated its own talkativeness and arrogance.
"What did you do?!"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to borrow the last rays of the death ray from your back."
Modi made a gesture of withdrawing his hand.
Drawn by the spear of light, the cold afterglow of death light once again became restless, seeping out from the gaps in the ancient dragon's scales and breaking the stagnant environment it had painstakingly created.
Having lost the power that caused everything to stagnate, the Great Annihilation was no longer restrained.
The annihilation void expands from the crystal as its origin, and all matter enveloping it is destined to evaporate.
Even Xiangyang, who released it, and the old man protected by the remains of a saint, were caught up in it without making a sound and became fuel for the annihilation of the void.
Modi glanced at the approaching void, flicked his sleeve, and gathered the altar and all the people on it into his sleeve. He then ran to the white dragon that the Blood God had transformed into.
To resist the Great Annihilation, the White Dragon actively activated the blood of the Ancient Dragon, turning its originally pure white scales into an icy blue hue, like unyielding ice that has stood for eternity.
The white dragon curled up into a ball, its unchanging and constant power flowing across the surface of its scales. Even the terrifying Great Annihilation could not erase it in an instant.
Compared to the relatively small white dragon, the dying ancient dragon was larger and had a wider area of damage.
In addition, since Modi had previously detonated the afterglow of the death ray within its body, its invariable properties had not fully recovered, making it unable to be completely immune to this unprecedented annihilation.
The evaporation of matter never stopped, annihilating the wound along its spine, seeping deep into its flesh and blood, causing it to experience pain stronger than ten thousand ants gnawing at its heart.
This feeling is almost identical to the pain it experienced when the death ray fell.
The ancient dragon opened its eyes, which were filled with the savagery brought on by pain. Since there was nothing in the void, it could not see what was inside.
But it could sense that the enemy was not far away, struggling against the great annihilation just like it.
"Annihilation won't last long. As I return to my anchored state, the damage it inflicts on me will only decrease. With my size advantage, I can gain the upper hand."
The thought of striking first flashed through its mind, and it did so without hesitation.
The dragon claws, dripping with blood, swung out, and even with its five senses disabled, it remained confident in its own perception.
laugh.
The sensation of the claws piercing flesh was clearly transmitted back, mixed with the pain of annihilation, making the ancient dragon, who hadn't seen blood for who knows how long, extremely happy.
The ingrained violence and arrogance surged into its heart, and its attacks became increasingly fierce. Its powerful body was like a roaring machine, which, even though it had not been used for a long time, became more and more fluid through gradual wear and tear.
"The ancient dragon clan is born with incredibly strong bodies. Even when they are on their deathbed, they still possess such power, which truly inspires despair."
Modi controlled the white dragon's body and calmly dealt with the ancient dragon's brutal attacks, but the wounds on his body continued to increase.
This was even with his special ability to attack ancient dragons. If Black Sun hadn't granted him the authority of a Dragon Slayer Apostle, he would have been blasted into a cloud of blood mist long ago.
Many pieces of information about Gu Long flashed through his mind, each emphasizing the same point.
"Ancient dragons possessed incredibly powerful physical bodies, enough to traverse the void and be immune to most void disasters. However, because they relied too heavily on this gift from heaven, they rarely studied other things..."
'
When encountering an ancient dragon, kiting it from a distance is the best option if there is a way to break its defense; engaging in melee combat is the worst possible strategy.
However... Modi glanced around, but all he could see was emptiness; he couldn't see anything at all.
Even if he had long-range abilities, once released, they would be instantly annihilated by the void, making it impossible for him to get close to the enemy.
"Don't get entangled with it."
Modi made a decision to immediately distance himself from the ancient dragon and, guided by his intuition, navigate the Annihilation Void.
His little trick naturally didn't escape the notice of the ancient dragon. After missing with its claw, the dragon immediately reacted and gave chase.
Thus, in this void where ordinary life could not survive, a scene of chasing and catching each other unfolded.
Under the protection of the Black Sun, Modi experienced the feeling of having a full-map cheat.
Each time the dragon's claws were about to strike him, he managed to narrowly avoid them, infuriating the ancient dragon to the point that its eyes turned red.
The annihilation left numerous wounds on both of them, but the rate at which the injuries were inflicted was getting slower and slower.
Both realized this; Modi intentionally increased his speed, while Gulong slowed down his attack frequency and instead began to accumulate power.
They are all waiting for the annihilation to end.
With another flap of its wings, a dim light suddenly appeared in Modi's eyes.
He left darkness and nothingness behind and returned once more to the material world, to the Beach that was watched by the Black Sun.
With another flap of his dragon wings, he turned around and landed steadily in the air, gazing at the ancient dragon following behind him. Suddenly, a light spear the size of an iceberg appeared in his hand.
"Your death is nigh!"
Looking at his dragon body, the ancient dragon immediately understood that he had stolen the blood of the ancient dragon. Enraged, it swung its dragon claws, which were now covered with scales, crushing everything in its path.
"I will show you just how vast the gap is between you and a true dragon."
The dragon's claws, burning with fury, slammed down on the white dragon. The unchanging forces canceled each other out, but in the end, the ancient dragon prevailed. Its claws tore through the white dragon's scales and penetrated deep into its flesh.
Without the burden of obliteration, it simply exerts its strength, relying on its sharp claws that pierce into its prey, to tear off half of its body alive.
The white dragon murmured softly, the physical pain not affecting his rationality.
The moment the ancient dragon tore off his body, he thrust his spear of light into the dragon's scales with an indomitable will, sending the spearhead into its massive body.
"Your light spear has improved; it's evolved into a toothpick this time. But is it even useful?"
Gu Long scoffed, saying that compared to its body, the light spear was still no match for it.
Modi grinned, "Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it."
His expression suddenly turned cold, and all the scales belonging to the ancient dragon disappeared, replaced by feathers made of light.
The path of light took over this body, merging with the blood of the dragon to create an unprecedented dragon species.
This is a dragon specifically created for hunting ancient dragons, possessing authority and status equivalent to a Dragon Slayer Apostle.
"Don't forget, the Black Sun still exists, and this is still my home turf." Without hesitation, Mordi activated his authority, using the light spear deep within the ancient dragon's body as an anchor point to guide the power of the Black Sun to descend.
Even if it is just a reflection from countless ages ago, the power of the Black Sun is still immense, even for the dying ancient dragon.
The black light descended from the celestial body high in the sky, striking the light spear before the ancient dragon could react. It then flowed into its limbs and bones along the exposed end of the spear.
When things that are constant and unchanging change, and the stagnant time that belongs to them begins to flow again, these are all things that they resist.
Special operations are paramount; this is the harsh reality it faces.
"It's nothing but a reflection of the past..." The ancient dragon's face was ferocious. Even though his body was injured and burdened by the black sun's light, he was unwilling to let go of his nemesis.
"This is the second time. I'll see how many more tricks you have up your sleeve!"
The dragon claws, powerful enough to smooth out the folds of space, pierced the light feathers and tore them outwards. There was no beauty to speak of; instead, it was incredibly bloody.
This is its most primal fighting instinct. Although most of its intelligence has been eroded, it has never forgotten this ability.
"Then I will grant your wish," Mordy said coldly.
A phantom of a sea of blood appeared, and tens of thousands of tons of blood poured into his body. Every second, his dragon body swelled and grew stronger.
In just four or five breaths, his size had already approached that of the ancient dragon, and he was no longer being suppressed by the opponent.
"Didn't you want to see what other tricks I have up my sleeve?" Mordy grabbed a spiral spear and pierced the enemy's body with it. "I hope you can hold out until I reveal my next trump card."
