Chapter 1139 -1139: Terrifying Shockwaves
His body’s endurance far surpassed that of any combat machine.
Speed? With the support of pure strength, his speed could be, very! Fast!
Breaking out of the encirclement, Lan Xuanyu looked up to the sky and let out a loud dragon roar. A huge golden shadow burst forth. Golden Dragon Roar!
Lan Xuanyu had used this move in previous battles and during his Ascending Dragon. Naturally, Lin Zexuan knew of it.
But knowing was one thing; truly facing it was another matter entirely.
In an instant, Lin Zexuan felt as if his bloodline had solidified, the twisted space around his body shattered in an instant, revealing his true form as his body stiffened momentarily.
...
His tenacious will to fight, his powerful combat skills, seemed to become futile the moment his bloodline was suppressed.
This was Lan Xuanyu’s advantage when facing strong members of the Dragon Clan—suppression at the bloodline level often left the opponent unable to unleash their true strength, especially since his current opponent was from the Mid-rank Dragon Clan, with an even greater gap in bloodline.
And in the moment when the opponent’s body became rigid and revealed itself, Lan Xuanyu was already back.

The golden dragon wings flapped violently. Such was the force of the wingbeats that the air itself roared violently, and then he shot forward like a golden meteor, closing the gap almost instantly.
Lin Zexuan’s stiffness was but a momentary lapse, but by the time he recovered, Lan Xuanyu was already up close.
Yet Lin Zexuan’s combat experience was indeed rich; even in such a situation, he quickly responded. The space around him twisted again, making his figure ethereal. At the same time, his wings flapped, and he deftly turned, making his displacement in the confined space as simple as it was swift.
His twenty-meter-long body twisted and shifted, while the right wing on his side suddenly swung upward. Without the wing’s support, his body naturally descended due to its weight—a clever combination of defense, evasion, and counterattack.
Unfortunately, the opponent he encountered was really different from his previous ones.
Lan Xuanyu was coming, and Lan Xuanyu didn’t dodge. His body completed a fold almost instantaneously, a maneuver that completely defied the principles of mechanics.
If one were to carefully dissect Lan Xuanyu’s movements, it was that when he charged near Lin Zexuan, his wings suddenly stood upright, flapped forward fiercely, causing his originally aggressive forward momentum to halt abruptly. His body fully absorbed the impact. Then, he spun, and his wings swept horizontally.
The golden scales on his body suddenly became bright at that moment, and the sweeping dragon wings reflected the light like mirrors.
“Bang—”
The two dragon wings collided fiercely. The situation Lin Zexuan least wanted to face had still occurred—a clash of strength!
In an instant, Lin Zexuan felt a slight tremor on his right dragon wing. Yes, just a slight tremor. But in the next instant, starting from the scales, that tremor quickly magnified, heading straight for his true body. Everything it passed—scales, bones, meridians, flesh—shattered inch by inch.
Lan Xuanyu’s body had been refined through Dragon Power Body Refining and also through the Quenching of the Annihilation Divine Thunder, terrifying in strength. What’s more, in that strike, he also carried the ability of the Golden Dragon Body. Instantly completing the processes of absorbing the force, borrowing the force, and striking with force—essentially using both his own and his opponent’s strength in a combined attack.
That shockwave was also a product of his continual comprehension during the Quenching with the Annihilation Divine Thunder.
Annihilation Divine Thunder couldn’t be used carelessly to avoid giving away any clues. Then, on the Ascending Dragon competition, he would inevitably encounter formidable opponents, so how should he face them?
After numerous attempts, Lan Xuanyu devised another way to use Annihilation Divine Thunder, even more terrifying than the original method of Thunder release.
Similar to Palm Thunder. He contained the might of Annihilation Divine Thunder within his bloodline, just as when he used Annihilation Divine Thunder to refine his body. When Lan Xuanyu launched an attack with the refines areas under such conditions, the Annihilation Divine Thunder would explode from within him.
The horrific power of God Thunder would instantly elevate the refining effect to its peak, thus generating a tremendous Explosive Force. This explosion would carry the potency of Annihilation Divine Thunder, but without any elemental traits. Only Pure Explosion Ability. In other words, Lan Xuanyu was adding the Explosive Force of Annihilation Divine Thunder to his already terrifying strength.
For normal creatures, this method of combat wasn’t much different from suicide: detonate oneself, then the opponent.
But Lan Xuanyu’s body was different! His physical strength was enough to endure the Destruction of Annihilation Divine Thunder. After all, that’s how he had always been Cultivating. Although he would be affected, the Dragon Qi would immediately start repairing. As long as he had enough Dragon Qi to repair, he could fight using this method.
Was Dragon Qi scarce? His Dantian had just produced a bunch of liquid Dragon Qi.
Today was Lan Xuanyu’s first trial of this combat method after developing it, and he had used it on the unfortunate Lin Zexuan.
The result was better than expected; Lan Xuanyu’s dragon wings violently trembled from the backlash, which was a bit uncomfortable. Then, he clearly saw the other party’s dragon wings, starting from where they had collided with his, quickly softening, as if dissolving from within, and swiftly spreading to his entire body.
At this moment, Lin Zexuan showed the formidable qualities that had allowed him to enter the tournament. With hardly any hesitation, as his body was falling, his left front claw seized the base of his right dragon wing like Lightning and, with all his might, furiously tore it off.
With a grating “szzzt,” blood burst forth, spraying out. He had forcefully ripped off his own right wing.
At the same time, he quickly released his dragon claw, letting the dragon wing fall.
Even so, that terrifying shock still transmitted a trail to his body. A strange scene occurred, the gushing blood instantly vibrated in the air, turning into blood-red ripples, trembling like waves in the sky.
The wound expanded in an instant, and some of the bones within shattered.
Amidst a muffled grunt, Lin Zexuan was already plummeting toward the ground.
Lan Xuanyu, having unleashed this strike, also suffered, barely controlling his trembling dragon wings to maintain his body, and forcibly stabilized his balance.
A bit too fierce! So fierce that he couldn’t continue the attack himself. This thing shouldn’t be used carelessly! It needed further adjustment.
Just now, Lan Xuanyu had not held back at all with the Annihilation Divine Thunder. He supported Huang Yuanlang’s plan. His aim was to cripple the opponents Xiuxiu would face later on.
But he hadn’t expected that the explosion of Annihilation Divine Thunder within the body and the resulting shock would be so terrifying. Even his body in the Golden Dragon King state had difficulty bearing it. The Golden Dragon King’s bloodline vibrated violently. A large amount of Dragon Qi rushed in: the Bloodline Whirlpool spun dramatically, gradually calming the shock.
After such a full-force strike, Lan Xuanyu’s right wing took nearly ten seconds to fully recover. Natural flight resumed.
However, there was no need for another strike. If Lin Zexuan hadn’t reacted quickly enough, that single blow might have cost him his life.
You know yourself best—Lan Xuanyu understood the true might of his full-force strike. But, the spectators couldn’t see so many details! Even the Dragon Knights could only tell he used a special method to control his power. They couldn’t discern the source of the shock and assumed it was merely the deployment of Pure Power.
In the eyes of those competing Dragon Clan members, this combat could only be described with one word: fast!
