Chapter 405: 407 Blood-Sucking Feather Scales
Another cry rang out, the sound from the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor carrying terrifying sonic booms, thundering like multiple blasts of lightning exploding right beside one’s ears, assaulting the internal organs.
The TianSha Dragon King flew far away, escaping the thunderous cries.
Darkness enveloped the area, and the TianSha Dragon King’s colorful scale feathers slowly dimmed, its long and sinister serpentine body gradually blending into the void of darkness.
The deep starry eyes suddenly closed.
At the same time, the TianSha Dragon King completely disappeared into the dimness, its presence unfelt and its figure uncaptured.
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor released its crying sonic booms, attempting to attack the TianSha Dragon King’s internal organs, but it could not locate the TianSha Dragon King.
“Screech!!!!!”
Suddenly, from the gloomy void above, a void thunderbolt fiercely tore through the air and struck the ancient and strange island with force.
Upon closer inspection, it was not real lightning but the plunging TianSha Dragon King, a destructive void light swirling around it. Accompanied by the slender plunging dragon, the scene resembled a thunderbolt splitting the primordial chaos, utterly terrifying!
“Boom!!!!!!”
The island trembled and shattered, the void thunderbolt seemingly piercing through the land, and the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was unable to evade this force. Its feathers scattered in disorder and blood spattered into the air.
From a high vantage point, one would see the island’s forests leveled, a spiral-shaped crater prominently appearing there, with scorched soil and shattered rocks. The seawater from deep within the island seeped out through the cracks, slowly irrigating and transforming into a lake.
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor struggled to maintain balance, swaying before forcefully flying to the peak of a mountain…
Blood flowed from beneath its wings, neck, and chest.
It was indeed strange.
Instead of flowing downward with gravity, the blood of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor strangely dispersed into the air.
One by one, like pomegranate seeds, the blood orderly flew towards the TianSha Dragon King and settled on its scale feathers.
“Blood-sucking??”
“It’s absorbing the Hawk Emperor’s blood even while fighting??”
The TianSha Dragon King is a variant of the Mourning Dragon, elusive and bloodthirsty.
Under the shroud of this dense dark night, it seemed that any enemy gravely wounded by it would see their bleeding wounds turn their blood into pomegranate seed-like droplets, or into wisps of blood vapor, which would then be absorbed by the TianSha Dragon King’s scale feathers, nourishing the dragon!
The bloodthirsty nature was something Zhu Minglang had not expected to come into play during combat.
In such a case, any enemy that engages in combat with the TianSha Dragon King, as soon as they are injured and blood flows out, it will continuously replenish the TianSha Dragon King’s drained energy. In a prolonged battle, the TianSha Dragon King would always have the advantage.
Zhu Minglang noticed that once the TianSha Dragon King’s Blood-Sucking Feather Scales received those blood particles, the patterns became even more sinister and robust, as if, once sufficient blood was absorbed, all of its scale feathers would transform and don new, more powerful and noble King’s Scales!
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor stood on the mountain peak, its sharp eyes fixated on the TianSha Dragon King.
In the Absolute Sea, it was the ruler, with no creature able to contend with it.
“`
The TianSha Dragon King was wicked to the extreme, and carried with it a provocative air. The proud Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, despite being injured, showed no signs of backing down.
This was its territory.
It intended to kill all invaders, including this TianSha Dragon King!!
Flapping its Star Space Wings, the TianSha Dragon King launched another attack. Its speed was incredibly fast, essentially a dark night demon star crashing into the mountainous earth. Its tail brought up a trail of eerie flames, causing explosions wherever it passed.
Mountains shattered, eerie flames filled the surroundings, thick dust and smoke spread everywhere. The tail of the TianSha Dragon moved continuously, and each time it was lifted high and slammed down fiercely, the explosions of the eerie flames became more intense. The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor dodged amongst the star flames breaking out, its wounds seemingly not greatly impeding its movements.
The life force of the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was extremely strong, and its wounds were gradually healing amidst the battle.
Before long, the bleeding areas had clotted. Despite the darkness, it still maintained a body covered in a brilliant golden demon light, sometimes fighting head-on with the TianSha Dragon King, and sometimes maintaining a sufficient distance to summon the power of the tsunami!
The mountain islands were badly damaged, and the sea water had even flooded the forest soil of the islands. The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was frequently injured in the struggle, yet its fighting spirit soared high, its feathers so hot they seemed about to combust.
The TianSha Dragon King could not deal a fatal blow to the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor. After all, it had been cultivating for more than 20,000 years and was still the master of the Absolute Sea. Killing it was not an easy task.
“Hoo hoo hoo~~~~~~~~~”
The TianSha Dragon King landed beside Zhu Minglang, its chest heaving and its tail gently swaying side to side, like a person who had been running fiercely taking a break to rest.
Zhu Minglang watched the TianSha Dragon King’s nose and found that its breathing was much faster than usual, and it still couldn’t catch its breath evenly.
And the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor, despite suffering so many injuries, still had vigorous strength, as if it had just entered the battle…
What was going on??
Clearly the Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor was at a disadvantage in every clash, and the Blood-Sucking Feather Scales of the TianSha Dragon King had changed to a different color, obviously with enhanced defensive power and agility. Why then did it seem to be running out of energy?
“How could I have forgotten this, it’s the strange aura!” Zhu Minglang slapped his forehead.
This island was filled with a strange fragrance released by exotic trees, which suppressed the breathing of all foreign creatures, affecting even those with high cultivation.
The TianSha Dragon King has been ascended for some days and shouldn’t be in an unstable state.
It was now a Dragon King, its strength, stamina, and vitality exceeded that of the vast majority of Holy Spirits; there was no reason for it to be inferior to this 25,000-year-old Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor.
Dragons possess an absolute physical advantage. Even though the foe was continuously injured, the TianSha Dragon King was inferior in terms of stamina—it must be the influence of the island’s strange fragrance.
The Absolute Sea Hawk Emperor constantly breathed in this strange fragrance. It was full of fighting spirit, feeling no pain even when injured, and moreover, its wounds were healing during the fight.
The air inhaled by the TianSha Dragon King was more like a slow poison, suppressing its muscles, tendons, and blood vessels, causing it to expend more physical strength and energy with every use of its Dragon Skills…
Fortunately, the Blood-Sucking Feather Scales could replenish its strength. Otherwise, the TianSha Dragon King’s condition would be even worse.
“The Hawk Emperor is purposely wearing you down on Magic Island, letting you be suppressed by the strange fragrance. We can’t stay here and fight with it,” Zhu Minglang said.
No wonder the Hawk Emperor, clearly no match for the TianSha Dragon King, dared to keep entangling.
This island gave it an absolute advantage. The TianSha Dragon King’s Dark Night Cage could not block the fragrance of the strange trees diffused in the air.
