Chapter 1223, An Incomplete Body

Translator: Silavin

Lu Fan also re-summoned Xiao Ye, shifted into their Riding Form, and charged toward the distant Flesh Mountain.

He had already sensed it clearly: the Ancient God Power permeating that Flesh Mountain ahead was incomparably dense. This was without question the Desolate Ancient God’s True Body.

Since it was neither a clone nor a decoy placed there to draw their attacks, there was nothing more to be said. Before it could resort to any more tricks, the best course was to finish it off as swiftly as possible and claim its Divine Seat.

Because Lu Fan was riding a Giant Dragon, his charge was exceptionally swift.

Yet before he had even covered much distance, two other figures shot forward even faster than him!

Those were, naturally, the Flame Dragon and the Two Headed Dragon.

These two had finally laid eyes on the enemy that had destroyed the Valley of Life. How could they possibly remain composed?

The fact that they had managed to restrain their urge to attack before Lu Fan even gave the order had already been an extraordinary act of self-control.

Now that Lu Fan had issued the order to strike, they were the first to charge without any hesitation whatsoever.

Lu Fan watched their headlong rush and, after a moment’s thought, chose not to stop them. He simply called out a reminder in a raised voice. “You two, be careful! Do not put yourselves in danger!”

“Relax, we will not cause you any trouble!” The Two Headed Dragon called back to Lu Fan, and it was plain that though both Giant Dragons appeared absolutely brimming with killing intent and high emotion, neither had lost any measure of reason.

When considered in that light, the setback they had suffered earlier at the Dragon Carcass of the Life Dragon King had actually been something of a benefit for them.

Because of that, they now understood clearly, in their hearts, just how formidable the Desolate Ancient God truly was.

If they charged in recklessly and fell into the Desolate Ancient God’s hands, they would only add to Lu Fan’s burdens. Far from helping, they would instead be helping the Desolate Ancient God, landing Lu Fan and the others in greater trouble.

So, while the Flame Dragon and the Two Headed Dragon appeared rash on the surface, their approach when actually attacking was one taken with extreme caution.

The two of them soared into the high air, looking down from above, maintaining a safe distance from the Desolate Ancient God.

Then they unleashed a continuous stream of Dragon Breath, using Dragon Language Magic to strike at the Desolate Ancient God from range.

On one hand, they could probe the Desolate Ancient God’s capabilities. On the other, they could ensure they would not be targeted directly by it and find themselves in sudden danger.

Three streams of Dragon Breath landed without reservation, striking the Desolate Ancient God.

The Desolate Ancient God remained motionless, letting the Dragon Breath fall across its body without flinching.

From its eyes, some wide with pain and some narrowed against it, one could nonetheless see that the Dragon Breath of two Giant Dragons was not something it could simply endure without feeling anything. The Dragon Breaths did cause it pain.

The reason it did not move, Lu Fan surmised, was most likely that its body had not yet fully developed and it did not yet possess the ability to move.

And so, Lu Fan did not rush to join the two Dragons in surrounding and assaulting the Desolate Ancient God. Instead, he turned to Ouyang Bai Ge at his side and asked, “Teacher Ouyang, is the reason the Desolate Ancient God appears to have absolutely no Combat Power like this because its body has not yet fully grown? Being attacked like this by the Flame Dragon and the Two Headed Dragon, yet it remains completely still. This is so strange.”

Ouyang Bai Ge’s expression grew solemn. She nodded. “From what we can see, the Desolate Ancient God’s body is indeed in a stage of reconstruction. Otherwise, it would not be presenting such a peculiar appearance. But, this is still strange. The Ancient God Power accumulated inside the Desolate Ancient God is already more than enough. Given its degree of awakening, it should have long since been able to condense a complete physical form. Yet it remains in this state, which can only mean that the physical body it intends to condense demands an exceedingly high degree of awakening…”
