Chapter 419: Chapter 212: Baptism of Fire... Pangu’s True Form! (Part 2)
"Have you lost consciousness?"
Hephaestus’s smile gradually brightened. Although the Blood Erosion Tyrant had extremely high resistance, under normal circumstances, various judgments could hardly affect it.
However, he still had some special means at his disposal, which could bypass high difficulty checks and take effect directly. This was a common tactic among divinities, and high resistance didn’t mean all anomalies or control effects could be ignored, as there were many deeper combat techniques to be explored.
This is the art of the divinities!
Furthermore, Hephaestus also felt the pressure during the battle. His skill level in combat was extremely high, but he couldn’t suppress the Blood Erosion Tyrant because it seemed to be able to rationally predict his attack trajectory and thereby respond.
This was troublesome for him, so making the opponent lose rationality became very important.
"Next."
"Let me send you on your way."
"Rebellious one."
Hephaestus raised the giant sword, his body turning into a shadow in an instant, appearing before the Blood Erosion Tyrant in a split second. In that instant, the giant sword pierced the Blood Spear, which the opponent instinctively raised in reaction.
"Boom!!"
The explosive Heaven-Burning Golden Flame detonated, igniting the Blood Spear and melting it further. The scarlet liquid flowed onto the Blood Erosion Tyrant’s arm and continued to climb and merge inward, rapidly reducing its surface area.
The process of the Blood Spear’s liquid merging into the body went unnoticed by Hephaestus because the integration was extremely covert, and Riddle Gauze also provided concealment. As Dominator level equipment, Riddle Gauze already possessed such power; the illusion realm just now was its masterpiece.
Riddle Gauze is the garment of the Lord of Light and Shadow. It often bathes in the light of Holy Power and can indirectly gain a slight buff from the Power of Faith, thereby increasing its actual strength rapidly, although Ye Mingqiu usually had no need to use it.
Unnoticed, the once-weak Riddle Gauze had grown to the peak of Dominator level, possessing the ability to inadvertently confuse a divinity.
This was its growth after bathing in the power of [Sequence], as the achievement of the coat of the Lord of Light and Shadow!
"Roar!!"
The Flame Dragon Soul roared as it devoured the flames. The armor’s surface also began to crumble, revealing cracks, and unable to bear the immense Divine Fire, its material couldn’t withstand the power of the Dragon Soul.
"This attack."
"Will end your life."
"Heaven-Burning Divine Slash."
Hephaestus raised the Flaming Giant Sword. The Holy Fire instantly covered the Blood Erosion Tyrant, and the terrifying high temperature completely swallowed it in an instant.
Inside the Heaven-Burning Domain, a platinum wave of flame surged, the golden waves crashing on the water’s surface, a force capable of world destruction surging and raging within the world of the Soul Realm Contract, causing the world itself to gradually destabilize.
Within the wave of Heaven-Burning Flames, the Blood Erosion Tyrant was engulfed in the deep sea, the extreme high-pressure fire consuming and invading every corner of its body.
The Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor’s Dragon Soul could not fully devour the flames, the cracks on the armor’s surface grew numerous, and the Blood Spear was burned to liquefy in battle, gradually turning into a liquid and flowing into the Blood Erosion Tyrant’s body.
That liquid was the Blood Spear itself. The Blood Spear was a Blood Stone fused with the Bronze Battle Spear, then awakened with intelligence through continuous battle and slaughter, advancing as a spear.
Its core essence was based on the Blood Stone, which was a crystallized product of the Pangu bloodline in the world of the Gods Sealing Era. Moreover, the Blood Spear recently absorbed a large amount of Blood Stone to amplify itself, its strength far beyond what it was.
The Fire God melted the Blood Spear, but it could not destroy it, only remould it to its most original form, that is.... the living essence of the Pangu bloodline.
And Pangu...
was not just a mere divinity...
A sufficient amount of Blood Stone could revive a Level 10 Peak divinity...
But clearly, Hephaestus did not understand what the essence of the Blood Spear was. Being misled by Riddle Gauze, misjudgment was inevitably made, not entirely due to Hephaestus’s own errors.
....
In the deep-sea core, the Blood Spear was merging into the Blood Erosion Tyrant’s body, the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor was crumbling, and the Blood Erosion Tyrant’s life force gradually decreased until it eventually reached zero.
"It’s over."
"What a troublesome guy."
"Huh~"
Hephaestus let out a long breath, but the imagined end did not come.
He sensed a Phoenix’s Fire Feather igniting in the depths of the sea of flame, the Phoenix’s flame burning in the deep sea, consuming the Heaven-Burning Flame itself. At the core of the Phoenix Fire, the Blood Erosion Tyrant’s life force swiftly restored to full strength within a short time.
"There’s still Nirvana?"
Hephaestus’s expression gradually turned painful. Although the Blood Erosion Tyrant wasn’t hard to fight for him, the issue lay in the fact that he found the fight very troublesome and uncomfortable. He really didn’t want to fight.
He sighed helplessly, eventually raising the Flaming Giant Sword again, fixating on the Blood Erosion Tyrant at the core of the Phoenix Flames, murmuring, "Very well, then I’ll kill you once more."
Then, the Nirvana Egg, encircled by Phoenix Flames, rose from the sea of flame, aligning with Hephaestus’s position. The Phoenix’s flames gradually subsided, while the Dragon Soul inside still frantically devoured the Phoenix Fire.
"What a gluttonous creature, even eating its master’s resurrection flame."
Hephaestus chuckled lightly.
In the next moment, a crisp shattering sound quietly occurred, the surface of the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor shattered, and the armor containing the Dragon Soul finally succumbed to the burden and shattered completely, losing its place after devouring immense Divine Fire and Phoenix Flames.
