Chapter 498: The Might of the Vermilion Bird Mirror
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as the jellyfish named Ling Ying was staging a frantic retreat, Hong Dou was doubting the purpose of his own existence.
A golden arrow flew through the air as if it were the light of dawn striking through the darkness, making gold the exclusive color tone between heaven and earth.
Divine Technique—Divine Evil-Vanquishing Arrow!
The golden arrow flew toward the miniature dragons before splitting into ten, then into one hundred, then into one thousand, before finally creating a dense shower of infinite golden arrows that rained down onto the ground below.
Boom!
All the arrows were imbued with fearsome sealing power that the miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons would soon come to experience. An Lin and Tina took this opportunity to pounce on the army of miniature dragons.
Liu Chuchu had created a fantastic opportunity for them to eradicate these miniature dragons, which possessed the power of holy light and were the biggest threats to An Lin and the others.
Tina let loose a delicate battle cry, and her aura climbed explosively as she slashed her Heart Lotus Ice Sword through the air. A blue ripple radiated from her sword for a distance of over a kilometer, freezing the ground below and leaving thousands of blue-ice lotus flowers in its wake.
All the miniature dragons unleashed their holy light to try and free themselves from the sealing power of the golden arrows, but the blue-ice lotus flowers began to appear underfoot while unleashing the power of extreme frost that instantly froze them solid!
The Divine Flame Bead floated beside An Lin as he activated his four Divine Flames to the maximum.
Great Holy Flame, appear!
A miniature sun appeared above the army of miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons.
Demonic Star Flame, appear!
The sky was transformed into a sea of purple flames with twinkling stars embedded within, all of which were imbued with extremely fearsome flame power.
Setting Moon Flame, Heavenly Void Flame!
Blue flames swept toward the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons in a devastating wave that was both scorching hot and freezing cold at the same time. Meanwhile, an invisible flame engulfed the entire space around the army of miniature dragons, thus enveloping them in an all-vanquishing power.
“Sea of Divine Flames, activate!”
Crimson symbols began to appear on the backs of An Lin’s hands, and they glowed with a brilliant light as the Divine Flame Bead stirred in response.
Purples flames with specks of white stars embedded within crashed down like meteorites. Boundless golden flames poured forth from the miniature sun in the sky, incinerating all living beings on the ground below. The blue flames formed a massive wave that swept forward like an unstoppable tsunami. The invisible flames were omnipresent between heaven and earth, scorching every inch of the demonic dragons’ skins.
The entire heaven and earth was transformed into a roaring pit of flames, affording the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons no chance of escape.
The Divine Flame Bead reacted to the boundless flame power in the air, and a golden flaming dragon burst forth from within before roaring as it swooped down into the sea of flames. The golden flaming dragon engulfed the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons with a vengeance as if it were the monarch of all flames!
The jellyfish, who had been severely injured and was in the process of running away, was shocked upon turning back to discover the roaring Sea of Divine Flames behind her.
“This spell technique was unleashed by An Lin? Holy sh*t, it’s way too powerful!”
The overwhelming flame power reduced the ground below into a massive pit of molten lava that covered a radius of several kilometers. Even with the protection of the holy light, the miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons were unable to endure the devastating destructive power of the flames, and their eyes began to collapse as their bodies became engulfed by the flames…
The flames began to dissipate soon after.
There was no longer any trace of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons, and they had clearly been reduced to nothingness by the monstrous flames.
An Lin half-knelt onto the ground as sweat poured down his face.
He had activated the Sea of Divine Flames with all his strength, so he barely had any vital energy remaining within his body.
“Giant An Lin! I can feel my power of holy light coming back!” Tina flew toward An Lin excitedly to show off her tiny hands, which were glowing with white light.
An Lin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this before turning a cold gaze toward the final remaining dragon. “Now then… It’s time to take back my Lightning Manipulation Technique.”
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon seemed to also realize that something was amiss as it suddenly stopped attacking Hong Dou.
Hong Dou lay in a deep crater on the ground and was on the brink of death. Crimson lava flowed from his body, but the scorching heat of the lava did nothing to warm his cold, dejected heart.
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon turned its eyes upon An Lin and spoke in a gravelly voice that was full of resentment, “You will pay with your life for destroying parts of my body!”
Crimson lightning flashed as the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon pounced toward An Lin at extreme speed!
An Lin had just unleashed his Sea of Divine Flames, and his entire body was completely devoid of vital energy. He had just swallowed a Blood Spirit Pill, but that hadn’t taken effect yet, so he received quite a fright at the sight of the approaching Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon.
Tina immediately stationed herself in front of An Lin as she slashed out a series of powerful extreme frost sword projections that swept toward the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon, leaving a vast expanse of white frost in their wake.
To her surprise, the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon did not evade the attack. Instead, the cracks on its pristine white body suddenly split open to reveal densely packed crimson eyes. At the same time, a suit of crimson armor exuding extremely high temperatures materialized around its body.
The sword projections Tina had slashed toward it did not even have a chance to come into contact with the crimson suit of armor before they all began to twist and melt, thereby demonstrating the overwhelmingly scorching temperatures emanating from the armor.
The sword projections struck the suit of crimson armor in an explosion of fire and ice, basking the entire heaven and earth in a spectacular light show of crimson and blue.
Crimson lightning suddenly pierced through the explosion en route to Tina.
Tina was caught off guard by the attack and could only position her longsword in front of her body in a hasty defense. She was then struck by an extremely powerful burst of lightning that threatened to tear her body apart.
As her body plummeted toward the ground, she let loose an agonized cry.
The dragon instantly swept past Tina to appear before An Lin with greed and bloodlust in its eyes.
“Plunder!”
A terrifying ripple began to emanate from its pitch-black eyes.
However, the corner of An Lin’s lips curled up in a smirk as the Vermilion Bird Mirror appeared in his hand!
The Vermilion Bird Mirror had the ability to reflect an enemy’s attack after being fully charged!
A rippling barrier of water enveloped An Lin’s body before slowly transforming to become a semi-transparent mirror.
The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon faltered slightly when it saw its own reflection in the mirror.
At this moment, the mysterious ripples flowing from its eyes crashed into the mirror before suddenly being rebounded…
Whoosh!
An Lin suddenly had an extremely peculiar feeling. He could feel four vastly different types of power—one was imbued with the divine might of pure Yang, another was volatile as fire, another was a power filled with vitality and reproductive force, and the final type of power reminded An Lin of a black hole that was teeming with the power of greed and engulfment.
He felt that the first type of power was his own Lightning Manipulation Technique, the second was probably Hong Dou’s power, the third was most likely the power of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon to infinitely regenerate and reproduce itself, and as for the fourth… Could that be the power of plunder?
He had initially planned to steal back his own Lightning Manipulation Technique, but when he experienced those four different powers, he immediately chose the fourth option.
Rebounding the power of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon to plunder its “plunder” ability…
For some reason, it felt really awesome.
An Lin made a split-second decision, and he instantly reflected the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon’s plunder ability on itself.
A dumbstruck expression appeared on the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon’s face as it suddenly felt like it had lost something.
Ding Dong!
“Detect that host has come into contact with a manifestation of the crumbling Tai Chu realm essence. Now assigning the following mission: Completely destroy the manifestation of the crumbling Tai Chu realm essence.
“Mission Success: Receive the Divine Plunder Technique of the Divine Technique series.
“Mission Failure: No consequence.”
When the rippling mirror shattered, the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon was greeted by the sight of An Lin looking at itself with a sinister smirk on his face.
A golden image in the shape of an eye suddenly appeared on An Lin’s head, and immediately after, invisible ripples imbued with the power of the great dao of heaven and earth began to permeate through the air.
“Plunder!”
