Chapter 1020: Chapter 988: Battle of Divinity Transformation
Lu Ping’s expression was indifferent; instead of looking up at the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, he rose two hundred meters into the air, hovering at eye level with its head.
He didn’t retaliate with words or waste any time on small talk. Lu Ping raised his hand and summoned the Spiritual Treasure Red Shadow, launching an attack directly.
The opponent was indeed of the First-Layer Divinity Transformation, the intelligence was accurate, leaving no reason for hesitation.
First, engage in battle, and if it truly can’t be won, then just turn around and leave.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Lu Ping initiate combat, seemingly without regard for him, the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, already violent by nature, was instantly enraged and didn’t use his physical body to resist.
Instead, his body flashed with light, rapidly contracting as if collapsing inward, suddenly transforming into the shape of a man in a black robe.
Just as he transformed into human form, the Dark Demon Flood Dragon evaded Red Shadow’s attack, looking coldly at Lu Ping.
Red Shadow missed its target, while Lu Ping guided it back in front of him, locking eyes with the Dark Demon Flood Dragon.
The opponent transformed into a tall figure in a black robe, with a pair of black horns on its forehead, sharply defined features, and furrowed brows.
Its appearance was quite sinister; clearly not someone to be trifled with, exuding unmasked rolling black demon energy.
In a luxurious black robe, it appeared youthful - this was how the Dark Demon Flood Dragon looked in its nearly complete humanoid transformation.
Lu Ping remained silent, commanding Red Shadow to slash again. Seeing this, the Dark Demon Flood Dragon snorted heavily.
"Human race, truly arrogant, daring to lay hands on me!"
For at least a hundred years, no cultivators had dared to come here and cause trouble. The Dark Demon Flood Dragon was instantly provoked, very displeased with Lu Ping’s behavior.
As Red Shadow struck again, the weather dramatically changed, the calm sea surface suddenly erupted with violent whirlwinds.
In dazzling brilliance, an enormous red sword light spanned the void, stretching a thousand meters, resembling a sword that opens the heavens.
A Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator’s attack could effortlessly obliterate thousands of miles of land, burn the sky and boil the sea.
Though Lu Ping had only recently entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, he was proficient in combat.
This strike alone, the spreading shockwave caused a strong fear among the nearby three Nascent Soul Demon Beasts, deeply realizing the difference between themselves and a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.
Those demon beasts with even lower cultivation didn’t need mentioning, as they were so frightened they directly prostrated on the ground; Lu Ping could easily annihilate them with just a glance.
Faced with the slashing Red Shadow sword light, the Dark Demon Flood Dragon this time chose not to dodge but reached forward and summoned a black scale-shaped Spiritual Treasure.
Black Scale Shield!
The Spiritual Treasure unfolded, transforming into a solid Defensive Shield Light, firmly protecting him as the Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s personal Magical Treasure.
This artifact was Tier Seven Middle Grade, personally refined by the Dark Demon Flood Dragon.
Not only strong in power, but also containing a trace of True Dragon Bloodline, in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, this Dark Demon Flood Dragon also knew Artifact Refining, possessing Tier Six Refining mastery.
Rumbling.
Heaven and earth shook, giant waves surged.
Intense power erupted, creating a massive storm around, sweeping away many demon beasts.
Those weaker demon beasts caught in the aftermath were directly casualties, with dozens killed on the spot.
Although Lu Ping’s strike appeared casual, its momentum was exceptional, breaking through the Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s Defensive Spiritual Treasure Shield Light, immediately revealing its power.
The Spirit Transformation Shield was sliced open, the Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s expression changed.
"What kind of Spiritual Treasure is this?!"
Knowing the prowess of his personally refined Spiritual Treasure, he was naturally well aware.
Now, unable to withstand Lu Ping’s strike, fear emerged in the Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s heart, along with a face of dread.
Lu Ping remained silent; since he started, he wouldn’t waste any words, only focusing on exterminating the opponent.
Seeing that Lu Ping was challenging, he realized using the Black Scale Shield in battle wouldn’t suffice, the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, being intelligent, wouldn’t sit idle and wait for defeat.
In his hand, the Storage Ring flashed, summoning a black Trident.
This artifact was known as the Trident of the Sea God, a Top-grade Spiritual Treasure, also personally refined, representing his highest Artifact Refining mastery.
With the appearance of the Trident of the Sea God, powerful energy gathered into an invisible force.
This force was incredibly sharp, causing ripples in the surrounding void, seemingly ready to cut through it at any moment.
Perceiving the power of this Trident of the Sea God, Lu Ping furrowed his brows, immediately guiding Red Shadow to charge.
Red Shadow was quite mysterious, capable of freely changing its shape, not limited to Flying Sword, Flying Blade, Shield forms.
This time, Red Shadow transformed into a sharp spike, piercing toward the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, leaving a long golden trail in the void.
Seeing Red Shadow change its form once again, so impressive, the Dark Demon Flood Dragon snorted coldly, unwilling to lose face in front of subordinates, immediately commanding the Trident of the Sea God to strike.
Clang!
The two Spiritual Treasures collided in the sky, with power enough to annihilate towering mountains, directly clashing together, unleashing immense force.
Rumbling.
Two gigantic shockwaves blasted out like a super bomb exploding, instantly creating soaring waves.
The surrounding demon beasts couldn’t withstand it, hiding in fear, while many were killed on the spot, turning to debris.
The two Spiritual Treasures dueled in mid-air, striking the heavens and earth.
The vast spectacle attracted numerous cultivators and even demon beasts with awakened intelligence to observe from afar, feeling thrilling, realizing a supreme confrontation was unfolding.
In the battle’s center, with power rapidly dispersing, it was visually clear that neither the Trident of the Sea God nor Red Shadow bested the other, resulting in a stalemate.
"This Flood Dragon’s weapon isn’t weak; if it could be used for you, it could further enhance your strength."
"I see its aura unstable now, evidently enraged, so the upcoming battle will require effort."
The voice of the Void Celestial Extreme Saint clone slowly echoed, calm and collected without urgency or prompting.
Lu Ping nodded secretly, acknowledging and realizing the opponent was indeed provoked.
"Human race, you’re courting death today, I shall fulfill your wish!"
The Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s gaze was icy, glaring at Lu Ping, a hand motion summoned the Trident of the Sea God back to his hand.
"Kill him!"
With the Dark Demon Flood Dragon’s command, the Red Blood Celestial Python and other demon beasts and demon souls received orders, immediately launching a group attack to leverage numerical advantage and exhaust Lu Ping’s Magical Power first.
