Chapter 1224, Attack Till It Reacts

At this point, Ouyang Bai Ge could not help a wave of relief washing over her. “All I can say is, thankfully, we arrived in time. If we had come any later, and it had condensed its new physical form, its power would have been unimaginable…”

Lu Fan nodded. “In that case, does it currently have absolutely no ability to fight back? In that case, isn’t it just a stationary target?”

Ouyang Bai Ge said, “I don’t believe we can truly put it that way. Although it cannot display the complete power of the physical body it intends to condense, the Desolate Ancient God in its current state should still not be the sort of thing that simply takes a beating without responding. Let us attack it first and see. It should have some means of countering us. In any case, caution is best.”

Lu Fan nodded. “Understood.”

Then he looked toward the others. “Let’s go! Let’s all strike. I want to see what the Desolate Ancient God can do about it.”

Lu Fan’s and Ouyang Bai Ge’s words had reached everyone’s ears.

Everyone understood: the Desolate Ancient God was not in its complete form right now, which made this precisely the ideal moment to kill it.

At the same time, one could not be overly careless. After all, this thing was a powerfully strong High Tier Ancient God. There was no guarantee it would not suddenly land a decisive blow without warning.

Everyone spread out in all directions and launched their assault on the Flesh Mountain before them.

Lu Fan did not summon all of his Pet Dragons. He only summoned Xiao Ye, whom he had brought on this journey, had her transform into Destruction Dragon Form, and, like the Flame Dragon and the Two Headed Dragon, released Dragon Breaths to attack the Desolate Ancient God from range.

Should anything unexpected occur, he could still summon his other Pet Dragons as a contingency.

Ye Wuxian, like Lu Fan, channelled her own Ancient God Power, releasing wave after wave of flaming tornadoes that swept in great surges toward the enormous Flesh Mountain.

It had to be said, Ye Wuxian’s Ancient God Power was capable of incinerating all things in existence, while the Desolate Ancient God’s Ancient God Power allowed it to devour all things in existence. The nature of the two powers bore a curious resemblance to one another.

But in the current moment, with the Desolate Ancient God unable to deploy its Ancient God Power freely, it was Ye Wuxian’s Ancient God Power that held the upper hand.

Under the sweeping tide of Ye Wuxian’s flames, the Desolate Ancient God’s body crackled and hissed.

*Crackle crackle crackle.*

Flesh and blood that had previously shown clear vascular linings quickly charred to blackness and began to fall away.

Though Ye Wuxian’s attack type was the same as the Flame Dragon’s, the Two Headed Dragon’s, and even Xiao Ye’s, with all of them being flame based, Ye Wuxian’s flames were far more effective than the others.

The flames of Lu Fan’s group found it difficult to inflict Damage on the Desolate Ancient God with the same directness that Ye Wuxian’s flames did.

It seemed that, when the Skills of the others landed on the Desolate Ancient God, their Damage was somehow reduced.

Only a small fraction of their power could actually act upon the Desolate Ancient God’s flesh and cause any real injury.

This was presumably because of Ye Wuxian’s Ancient God Power, whereas the others wielded only the Elemental Power generated by the World Principles. In that case, at the fundamental level of the World Mechanics, theirs’ were one entire tier below Ye Wuxian’s flames.

So in terms of Damage Dealt, Ye Wuxian’s Damage Output was inevitably the highest.

Of course, this did not mean that without Ancient God Power one could not inflict significant Damage on the Desolate Ancient God. That point was thoroughly disproven by the Shadow Dragon King and the Bronze Dragon King, on whom such limitations did not seem to exist.

The two of them possessed absurdly overwhelming strength, and even without Ancient God Power, a single punch from either one erupted with a sonic boom, condensing into a sphere of compressed air that slammed hard into the Desolate Ancient God’s body and sent its enormous form shuddering.

*Boom!*

And when the Shadow Dragon King swept his hand, an endless volley of black wind blades appeared, slicing wounds across the Desolate Ancient God’s body in every direction, sending chunks of flesh flying.

*Slash slash slash.*

From the two of them striking, one could also see that this Flesh Mountain’s defensive capabilities were truly terrifying, far beyond anything the earlier Dragon Carcasses could compare to.

Previously, a single punch from the Bronze Dragon King, or a single sweep of the Shadow Dragon King’s hand calling forth wind blades, had been enough to shatter or carve apart enormous Dragon Carcasses without trouble.

Yet these same attacks landing on the Desolate Ancient God now caused limited injury. They simply could no longer achieve the same level of lethal efficiency as before.
