Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Battle with the Earth Dragon

Lan Xuanyu was also adept at earth element control, and he could clearly feel the Earth Element in the air rapidly converging towards Tang Yanxuan’s body.

It was as if, between heaven and earth, there had suddenly appeared an Earth Element core, pulling all Earth Element towards it.

Despite being in the presence of so many Dragon Clan God Rank strong practitioners, Lan Xuanyu could not reveal that he was also skilled in earth element control, but his sense of control was still very clear. He distinctly felt that when it came to the control of the Earth Element, he might not be as adept as this Fatty. It should be noted that his control came from the Dragon God’s bloodline! This illustrated the deep foundation of Fatty in earth element control.

The rising yellow flames signified the intensely burning Earth Element, which after burning were even being sublimated, ascending to another level of refinement. This change was quite peculiar, giving Lan Xuanyu the feeling of having his eyes opened to new possibilities. Could the Earth Element also be controlled in this way?

Lan Xuanyu did not rush to attack but instead manifested the Divine Dragon Armor of the Mountain Dragon King over his entire body and, holding the Dragonlance in hand, silently watched Tang Yanxuan controlling the Earth Element across from him.

Tang Yanxuan also felt somewhat surprised that Lan Xuanyu did not charge forward to attack. Based on the previous two battles, “Lan” had shown a strong desire to attack, often launching fatal attacks at the earliest opportunity. Was he changing his approach today? Or was he truly intending to show mercy?

As the yellow flames ascended around his body, a suit of earth-yellow Divine Dragon Armor had already covered him entirely. Tang Yanxuan did not use a Dragonlance; instead, he held a war hammer in his hand, which had a big hammerhead but a rather short handle. It, too, was burning with yellow flames.

The next instant, Tang Yanxuan launched the attack.

With his left foot, he suddenly stepped forward, covering a distance of only one meter, but the moment his foot struck the ground, the flames on his body dramatically magnified by tens of times.

“Boom—” A thunderous roar shook the ground of the Third Combat Zone violently, with the yellow flames surging and the terrifying shockwave sweeping across the battlefield in an instant.

The wave came sweeping over the sky, without any possibility of dodging, and the immense pressure made Lan Xuanyu feel like he was struggling to breathe. Meanwhile, Tang Yanxuan’s body also took advantage of the momentum, charging towards him like a huge yellow meteor, trailing a dazzling trail of flames.

Lan Xuanyu, too, finally moved, taking a step forward and facing the fierce shockwave head-on. With the Dragonlance in his hand pointed forward, he suddenly thrust out.

Golden light ascended, and the majestic dragon roar emanated from every limb and bone, with the Bloodline Whirlpool churning violently; the golden light was subdued, not forming flames. But that instant, he seemed to have completely fused with his surroundings.

“Pfft”—the shockwave was instantly pierced, passing on either side of his body and hitting the protection cover of the battle zone behind him, creating ripples of light.

The next moment, Tang Yanxuan’s war hammer arrived. With his body clad in Divine Dragon Armor—this yellow meteor—smashed forcefully onto the tip of Lan Xuanyu’s lance.

The timing of this moment was impeccably precise, coinciding with when Lan Xuanyu’s old strength had waned and new power had yet to emerge.

But after Lan Xuanyu thrust his lance, all the dragon scales on his body turned bright as mirrors, and a golden halo expanded under his feet. Starting from his back, a trembling spread throughout his body, the slight vibrations eventually converging onto the Dragonlance in his hands.

“Hum”—at the instant the lance tip collided with the war hammer, it emitted a fierce “clang” sound. Then, within a “ding” of clear resonance, time seemed to freeze in that instant.

Tang Yanxuan’s body strangely hung in the air, his war hammer colliding with Lan Xuanyu’s Dragonlance, one on the ground with hair fluttering, the other in the air with flames flickering.

The next instant, with a “puff” sound, the yellow flames around Tang Yanxuan suddenly exploded without warning, scattering into patches of flame ripples in midair.

He sharply executed a backward somersault in the air, tumbling backward and leaving large patches of flame ripples behind him.

Lan Xuanyu stood in place, still maintaining his previous stance, the golden light on his body visibly dimmed somewhat. But this pause was only momentary, and in the next instant, he shook his Dragonlance again, releasing ten thousand golden rays of light that burst forth, “Pointed by Thousands,” chasing directly after his opponent.

At this point, Tang Yanxuan internally groaned with distress; his last buildup for an attack had indeed been with all his might, but upon colliding with that slender lance-tip, he felt as though he had crashed into an insurmountable Copper Wall Iron Barrier, failing to make “Lan” retreat even half a step.

Just as Lan Xuanyu was astounded by his earth element control, Tang Yanxuan realized Lan Xuanyu’s Strength in an instant. In terms of strength, he absolutely could not contend with his opponent.

And the next instant brought a terrifying shockwave that made Tang Yanxuan’s complexion change drastically. He finally understood how Lin Zexuan was defeated, how Shaoxiu died.

That fearsome shockwave, carrying a devastating force that seemed to shatter his soul, spread wildly. The mad vibrations were not purely Strength; this was his immediate judgment. The protection cultivated from the Earth Element within his body was shattered layer by layer by the opponent’s vibrations, spreading ruinously toward his body.

But in this moment, Tang Yanxuan also demonstrated the strength of a powerful senior member of the Dragon Clan. As God Annihilating Shock passed through the war hammers, he didn’t hesitate to explode the earth element he had accumulated. The explosion of the flames wasn’t caused by Lan Xuanyu, but something he did intentionally.

The God Annihilating Shock, infused through the Dragonlance, was directed straight inward, aiming for the vitals. But with his deliberate guidance, the exploding earth element used those layered defenses to direct most of the shock outward, which was why there was a state where flame ripples exploded in layers.

Even so, it still wasn’t enough to dissipate all of the force of the God Annihilating Shock. In the process of flipping backward, Tang Yanxuan frantically absorbed the Earth Element, continuing to lay down layers of defense, striving to steer the shockwave out of his body. That’s why he appeared so utterly disheveled.

However, he ultimately still blocked it. Compared with Shaoxiu and Lin Zexuan, the strength of this senior member of the Dragon Clan was clearly on another level.

Lan Xuanyu himself also felt the strain; the previous impact from his opponent was extremely strong, and this lance thrust of his had almost used up all his power in the state of the Golden Dragon King. The Golden Dragon Body transformed some of the impact Strength into his own, and the Golden Dragon Rage Domain maximized his Cultivation. Coupled with the heart-striking God Annihilating Shock channeled through his whole body, his hope was that this lance thrust would directly overwhelm his opponent.

As an earth element controller, defense was inevitably his strong suit, beyond any doubt. Therefore, the best way to break his defense was with a forceful attack.

However, the opponent’s defense was stronger than he anticipated, and the defensive power of the yellow flames surpassed any earth wall or earth shield. The layered defenses constantly filtered and steered the God Annihilating Shock. When the flames erupted, the shockwave of the God Annihilating Shock was immediately directed outward, failing to truly explode inside Tang Yanxuan’s body.

Moreover, after that all-out effort of the God Annihilating Shock just now, Lan Xuanyu himself couldn’t execute it again in a short period of time. The domineering skill was fundamentally a double-edged sword, harming the enemy a thousand and self eight hundred. Only because Lan Xuanyu’s physical endurance far exceeded that of ordinary people, it did not affect the foundation when used. But if it were to be used continuously, that would be another story. No matter how strong the body is, there is a limit. Having God Thunder explode inside his own body was no laughing matter.

So, when he paused and then thrust again, while it seemed imposing, it no longer had the addition of God Annihilating Shock.

With his war hammers swinging, transforming into layers of hammer shades like a tortoise shell protecting in front of him. The dense, piercing cracks were incessant. On the shadows of the hammers, light spots kept lighting up. When ten thousand golden rays finally converged into one, becoming “Pointed by Thousands” that struck the war hammers, Tang Yanxuan’s body was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing fiercely onto the protection cover of the distant Third Combat Zone.
