Chapter 1729: Chapter 929: Showdown
As the Sect Leader and Feng Ling left, Lin Feng finally felt at ease. But what worries could Lin Feng have for others now, when he couldn’t even look after himself?
Confronted by the fury of the giant dragon, Lin Feng found himself with nowhere to hide.
The golden dragon made a sharp dive toward Lin Feng, and with a single claw, gouged a massive crater in the ground.
Lin Feng flashed toward the mountain’s cover, but he couldn’t escape the dragon’s gaze; another claw struck the mountain, leaving behind an enormous gash.
This massive indentation was pierced by five dragon fingers into the mountain, forming a Five Claw Cave.
Lin Feng shuddered and darted inside the Five Claw Cave, which made the dragon grow even more anxious, and it stretched its claw back into the cave while Lin Feng swiftly hid between the crevices.
What was the dragon but an extraordinary being; it squeezed its claw until the entire Five Claw Cave crumbled to dust.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had the Heart Protecting Dragon Armor crafted from the Subaqueous Dragon King’s defense equipment, which naturally formed a protective barrier.
Lin Feng, unscathed, stuck to the mountain rock and avoided that crushing grasp from the dragon, which amid swirling dust couldn’t find a trace of Lin Feng.
In proportion, Lin Feng compared to the dragon was akin to a man against a mouse; thus, he had some basis for comparison.
Those fantasy tales describing men the size of ants clashing were certainly exaggerations.
Lin Feng saw he had some advantage, giving him the resolve to struggle so arduously against the dragon.
The dragon, believing Lin Feng was dead, began investigating the mountain, its Dragon Breath collided against the rock, the entire mountain echoed with a thunderous roar, reminiscent of enlightenment.
How could Lin Feng be familiar with such scenes, for now, he was merely a Four Spirits Seal cultivator, unable to withstand even a simple strike from a dragon, yet he dared to challenge such a noble creature between Heaven and Earth.
Lin Feng leaned against the mountain wall; the crevices seemed inviting for escape, but doing so would provoke further dragon strikes, hopping like a flea was not Lin Feng’s preference, having witnessed grander spectacles, he wouldn’t be intimidated by this dragon.
Lin Feng’s body was about the dragon’s face size, so he wasn’t too insignificant; as long as he wasn’t entirely borne to insignificance, Lin Feng hoped to defeat the arrogant foe.
Once, outside Peace City in Dragon Abyss Pond, Lin Feng led fifty mortal cultivators to collectively slay a subaqueous giant dragon; though the golden dragon was leagues superior to the subaqueous dragon, with the former being the pinnacle of Nine Spirit Joints, while the latter merely a Five Spirit Knot reptile.
Lin Feng maintained vigilance, recalling his past struggle with the Subaqueous Dragon King when many cultivators were destroyed by its monstrous waves, the waves containing an immense spiritual power impact that clashed chaotic space and air flow akin to void whirlwinds slicing like the sharpest temporal blades.
Imagining the golden dragon exponentially stronger than the Subaqueous Dragon King, Lin Feng dared not even speculate.
Feng Ling and others had already retreated, leaving Lin Feng to make do with avoidance.
Lin Feng and the golden dragon had no direct conflict; rather Lin Feng attracted the dragon to ensure Feng Ling and others’ safe exit, providing assurance for their strategic retreat.
Such an astounding being escaping the Barrier and storming into the Six Realms could result in millions mobilizing armies and sweeping through without resistance!
For the safety of the Human Realm, Lin Feng resolved not to provoke the dragon unnecessarily, lest he himself couldn’t escape.
Becoming eternally bound there was not Lin Feng’s intention.
Lin Feng donned the Spirit Communication Cloak’s hood, which blossomed with radiant light upon him, and thereafter Lin Feng vanished from sight.
The dragon blew away the smoke with its Dragon Breath, finding no life within the cratered mountain, and its Spiritual Sense detected no presence; thus the dragon lingered, still suspended, observing the shattered stones below.
Possessing supreme energy, the dragon could harmonize with Heaven and Earth to create mystical Floating Power, allowing navigation through the cosmos with unimpeded freedom.
The dragon’s tuning force surpassed humans’ True Yuan command, achieving speeds tenfold over human cultivators, flying full tilt, penetrating voids, defying cosmic principles, roaming time and space.
Thus deemed the world’s most magnificent creatures, perceiving Heaven and Earth’s truths across infinite time and space, seeing through foolish humans, pondering new cosmic truths. The dragon observed all things equally, regarding the world fairly.
Yet among humans, some earned the dragon’s admiration; still, these were fleeting amid prevailing disdain for foolish subsistence. The dragon, weary of humanity’s company, ventured into the expansive cosmos seeking magical life forms, yet traversing billions of temporal spaces, failed to find species above humans within the Mortal World.
