My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Capture

Earth Dragons were Demon Beasts with Dragon Race bloodline. They could not fly and were primarily known for their formidable Defense Power. With their incredibly high Defense Power, coupled with their massive physiques, they were absolutely astonishing in a fight. Furthermore, their cultivation was not weak, as they were all Demon Beasts at the Spirit Pill Stage. While they couldn’t defeat a Core Formation Stage expert, they could certainly withstand their attacks and wear them down!

Three Earth Dragons were released. With a furious roar, they thundered toward them. It was obvious they had thrown caution to the wind and entered a killing frenzy. ’Better to slaughter them all than to let them escape.’

"Hurry and go!"

Ye Qingxuan, who was bringing up the rear, paled. She signaled for her people up ahead to leave quickly. She saw that most of them had already gone, with only a small, slower group remaining. However, the Earth Dragons were already bearing down on them; there was no way to retreat that fast.

Several Blast Flame Talismans instantly appeared in her hand. She threw them at the first charging Earth Dragon, and they floated through the air for a moment before slapping onto its body.

BOOM!

A fiery explosion erupted on its body, instantly charring it black. However, this didn’t kill it. It only blasted away a small patch of its Dragon Scales, and a trickle of bright red blood flowed down—a minor injury!

Its terrifying Defense Power was immediately apparent, revealing just how heaven-defying it was; the beast was practically a walking shield! The power of a Blast Flame Talisman was nothing to scoff at. Several of them combined should have been at least as powerful as a furious strike from an expert at the first or second layer of the Core Formation Stage, yet the damage was only skin-deep.

"Haha, you think you can harm an Earth Dragon with mere Blast Flame Talismans? You’re far too naive... Crush them all flat!" Behind the beasts were three Spirit Pill Stage experts clad in Dragon Armor, directing the Earth Dragons to charge forward and suppress the escapees.

"It’s the Dragon Soldiers!" many people cried out in alarm upon seeing the Cultivators clad in Dragon Armor.

The Dragon Soldiers were General Long’s personal troops, a specialized unit that controlled Earth Dragons. When they were sent to assault a faction, they were simply unstoppable. Each Dragon Soldier was paired with an Earth Dragon, forming a truly invincible army!

Although Earth Dragons were not true Divine Beasts, their terrifying Defense Power was comparable to that of the actual Dragon Race. Most importantly, they were numerous. Their reproductive ability was far greater than that of the true Dragon Race, so they were not particularly Rare, but their price was still extremely high.

Only the Netherworld Empire could afford to assemble such a dragon army. Under the control of the Dragon Soldiers, they crushed everything in their path!

There weren’t many Dragon Soldiers charging in—only three—but that was already astonishing enough. They didn’t need immense strength of their own; simply crushing people to death was sufficient. No one had expected Dragon Soldiers to be stationed here in the Netherworld Prison.

ROAR!

The injury only served to awaken the Earth Dragon’s savagery. With a furious roar, it lunged toward Ye Qingxuan, bringing its massive body down to crush her. Its speed and power were both ferocious.

A few more Blast Flame Talismans appeared in Ye Qingxuan’s hands as she prepared to attack again. She could not retreat. There was still a small group of her people behind her who had yet to escape, so she could only brace herself for the impact.

"Saintess, don’t worry about us! Just go, quickly!" the Spirit Race Ancestor urged from the side, signaling for her to flee. He desperately wanted to help, but he simply lacked the strength. It was a miracle he could even walk, let alone fight in a major battle.

"Let them go first!" Ye Qingxuan bit her lip, tossing out several more Blast Flame Talismans in quick succession. They instantly detonated against the descending Earth Dragon.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The sound of explosions rang out again, but the descending Earth Dragon’s speed did not slow in the slightest. The blasts only managed to knock it back a tiny bit, and its massive body continued to press down, intent on crushing her flat.

Ye Qingxuan paled and quickly scrambled to the side, but the Earth Dragon’s descent was a notch faster than her retreat! Just as she was about to pull out another Divine Talisman, a figure shot over and slammed violently into the Earth Dragon.

BAM!

The entire Earth Dragon was sent flying, a large section of its chest caved in. The intense pain made the beast howl in agony. A moment later, a red figure landed on the ground. It was none other than Yi Tianyun!

His body was covered in Dragon Scales as his Dragon God Bloodline erupted. He had met the Earth Dragon head-on, and surprisingly, it was the incredibly tough beast that had been sent flying.

"This level of toughness... it’s still a bit lacking!" Yi Tianyun snorted. He quickly appeared at Ye Qingxuan’s side and said, "Hurry and lead them out! There are no guards outside!"

He had led the charge outside and only came back to help after confirming the coast was clear. Just as he re-entered, he saw the Earth Dragon bearing down on them. He instantly flew over, and thanks to the explosive speed of his Phoenix Wings, he immediately collided with the beast.

Ye Qingxuan nodded and quickly led the Spirit Race in retreat, leaving Yi Tianyun to cover the rear.

’Who the hell is this kid? How is he so powerful?’ The Dragon Soldiers were stunned to see Yi Tianyun send an Earth Dragon flying. They had rarely seen anyone dare to clash head-on with an Earth Dragon, but now they were witnessing it firsthand.

"Who cares who he is! Just crush him!" another Dragon Soldier yelled, not giving it a second thought. Seeing more and more Cultivators escaping, they were growing anxious. If General Long returned to this scene, they would face severe punishment.

ROAR!

After recovering for a moment, the Earth Dragon that had been knocked away charged at him again, roaring with rage. As a creature with Dragon Race Bloodline, its pride was immense. How could it not be furious after losing a contest of strength against a human?

A faint yellow light immediately began to flicker across its body. Its Dragon Scales thickened, layer by layer, and the power of the Earth Attribute swirled around its form. It appeared even tougher, and the Sharp Claws on its forelimbs grew even sharper.

Its Combat Power skyrocketed in an instant, making it incomparably stronger. Much like a Cultivator burning their Essence Blood, it had drastically enhanced its own power.

ROAR!

The Earth Dragon pounced without hesitation. The other two Earth Dragons closed in from the sides, attempting to flank him and trap him for the kill. At that moment, many of the people who had made it outside noticed the situation. Their hearts lurched as worry set in.

’Interesting. These Demon Beasts aren’t half-bad...’ Yi Tianyun had originally planned to summon his Black Dragon to fight them, but upon seeing these Earth Dragons, he had a different idea.

He stomped hard on the ground and shot toward the pouncing Earth Dragon. In the blink of an eye, he was above its head, and he brought his foot down in a vicious stomp.

THUD!

The Earth Dragon’s massive body was instantly stomped into the ground. With a tremendous crash, the earth shattered and cracked, sending shockwaves rolling outward. Even its tough Dragon Scales, under the force of that single stomp, shattered into pieces. The entire Earth Dragon was beaten down.

Even after its power-up, the Earth Dragon was completely unable to withstand such domineering strength!

Yi Tianyun then landed on its head. A light shone from his hand, enveloping the Earth Dragon as he uttered a single word: "Capture!"
