Chapter 752: Decisive Killing Intent
The spectators watched the weakening aura of the Radiant Dragon King, their expressions filled with doubt and hesitation.
"The Radiant Dragon King seems to be out of mana..."
"He really got drained dry by those artificial divine beasts!"
"Unbelievable! They kept being killed and revived over and over—I've never seen a fight like this before!"
"At this rate, the Radiant Dragon King might actually be in trouble. Without mana, his dragon magic is essentially disabled!"
"That may be true, but can Ling Zhan really kill the Radiant Dragon King? After all, this is a dragon king-level behemoth, and his dragon scales alone should be enough to help him survive this mana-drained state, right?"
Dragon scales.
They were one of the hardest materials in existence.
Ling Zhan's sacred weapon, the Thousand Changer, was also forged using dragon scales obtained from a system material gift pack.
Dragon scales offered exceptional magic resistance and armor, along with high damage reduction.
Under such conditions, even if the artificial divine beasts ganged up on the Radiant Dragon King, they couldn't harm him.
The Radiant Dragon King clearly thought so too.
"So what if my mana is depleted?"
"You still can't kill me!"
"Once my mana regenerates, I can wipe out these artificial divine beasts and slay Ling Zhan!"
To the Radiant Dragon King, this entire situation was an insult of the highest order.
A level 160 vs. a level 105.
Instead of crushing his opponent, he was made to look this pathetic.
Especially with so many professionals watching.
If word got out, his reputation as the Radiant Dragon King would be ruined.
With that in mind.
His killing intent toward the spectators grew.
After dealing with Ling Zhan, he would eliminate these ants too!
Ling Zhan, meanwhile...
Stood calmly in the air, gazing at the Radiant Dragon King with a faint smile.
He could clearly see the dragon king's misplaced confidence.
The dragon king probably thought his thick skin and tough body would let him survive even without mana.
But the dragon king overlooked one thing.
Ling Zhan had never gone all out.
He had been modifying and evolving these beasts into artificial divine beasts purely to test whether the SS-tier genetic skills could create divine beasts.
And clearly, the experiment had been a success.
The SS-tier genetic skills broke conventional limits, providing immense attribute boosts and new effects.
Ling Zhan was satisfied.
It meant he now had more combat options in the future.
But the experiment was over, and it was time to end this charade!
Radiant Dragon King, your time is up!
In that instant, Ling Zhan's once calm gaze sharpened like a blade!
An overwhelming killing intent locked onto the overly confident Radiant Dragon King!
"As expected..."
"Ling Zhan is planning to kill the Radiant Dragon King while he's vulnerable!"
"But can he actually kill him?"
The spectators could all feel Ling Zhan's unrestrained, violent killing intent.
But given the dragon race's powerful defenses and physical resilience, killing him wouldn't be easy!
"Roar!!"
"Human ant! Come at me!"
"If you have what it takes, kill this king!"
The Radiant Dragon King showed no fear in the face of Ling Zhan's killing intent, instead displaying arrogant disdain.
He didn't believe it!
How could a mere human slay a dragon like him?
Ling Zhan ignored the dragon's arrogant words, pointing at the surrounding artificial divine beasts and speaking in a cold, merciless tone, "Explode."
The word fell.
Instantly.
Boom!!
Under the shocked gazes of the spectators, the artificial divine beasts surrounding the Radiant Dragon King detonated without hesitation!
Massive explosions formed towering mushroom clouds that rose into the sky!
The terrifying energy waves swept across the entire black basin!
"Run!"
The spectators panicked and fled in fear.
No joke!
If they didn't get out of there quickly, their lives would be forfeit!
They hadn't expected Ling Zhan to be this decisive!
If these were just ordinary magical beasts, mystic beasts, or spirit beasts, the explosion wouldn't be that powerful.
But these were divine beasts with enormous bodies!
As a result, the explosion's power was terrifying!
The self-detonation's power was determined by one's four-dimensional stats.
That's why stronger individuals produced more powerful explosions.
For a moment.
The entire black basin was engulfed in the explosion.
Yet the Radiant Dragon King showed no fear. Calm and composed, he stood his ground and endured the wave of explosions!
The explosion lasted nearly a full minute.
When the smoke cleared.
The Radiant Dragon King's ten-thousand-meter body stood firm like a tower, with only some scorch marks from the explosion. He had taken virtually no damage.
This was the power of a level 160 dragon!
Seeing Ling Zhan detonate the annoying artificial divine beasts, the dragon king felt relieved—he could finally advance without interference.
"Brat! Die!"
The Radiant Dragon King roared, flapping his massive wings and creating a raging storm as he charged toward Ling Zhan, intending to tear the non-specialist to pieces!
He was ready to end this meaningless fight!
However.
At that critical moment.
Boom!!
The already shattered ground suddenly trembled violently!
Just as the Radiant Dragon King was about to take off...
Swoosh!!
From the abyssal cracks in the ground, countless massive vines emerged like octopus tentacles, wrapping around the dragon's limbs and body!
The powerful pull prevented the mighty dragon from taking flight, forcing him to crash to the ground!
"This..."
The Radiant Dragon King looked down, discovering that his massive body had been tied up like a dumpling by the vines!
He snorted angrily. Did these tiny vines really think they could hold him?
Boom!!
With a powerful burst, he broke the vines around his upper body.
But as he prepared to clear the vines around his lower body...
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!
More vines burst from the ground, once again binding his upper body!
