Chapter 959, Are There Only Two Paths?

Translator: Silavin

 

“Are there only two paths?” Although the situation on the battlefield appeared to be controlled by the Asura King, Lu Fan showed no trace of fear.

 

“Then I choose the third option. Kill you all, then seize your Divine Seats, and make you disappear from this world!” With that, Lu Fan once again summoned all his Pet Dragons, launching another offensive against the Asura King.

 

Simultaneously, Ye Sha, in his Concealment State, carried the Abyssal Node to an even more distant location, ensuring it would not be affected by the battle.

 

As long as he could protect the Abyssal Node, Lu Fan would remain an undefeated existence.

 

This was also the terrifying aspect of the Abyssal Ancient God.

 

Lu Fan’s numerous Pet Dragons included Bao Bao, whose Magic Attack was off the charts, as well as Xing Chen, whose Physical Attack approached the extremes.

 

At the same time, there was also Xiao Ye who utilised both Magic and Physical.

 

Lin Dong’s powerful Crowd Control, Ji Ji’s potent Debuff poisons. Each Pet Dragon had their own distinctive characteristics.

 

With so many Pet Dragons releasing Skills simultaneously, the momentum was overwhelming. For a moment, it even moved the Asura King, who had to repeatedly retreat.

 

In this way, he became even less aware that a Concealed Pet Dragon had already flown away from this place, taking Lu Fan’s Abyssal Node with it.

 

“I see you’re seeking your own death!” The Asura King roared incessantly. Amidst the continuous attacks, he wielded his weapon, shattering the Pet Dragons’ attacks in mid-air.

 

Even for attacks he could not completely block, with the Asura King’s Defence and nearly Heaven Defying self-healing ability, these attacks were no different from an itch.

 

Naturally, the Asura King was not someone who would simply take hits without retaliating.

 

Sometimes, in his fury, he would leap high, raising his weapon to smash down at the Pet Dragons attacking him.

 

However, attacking the Pet Dragons was not that simple for him.

 

Although the Pet Dragons had enormous forms, they were not clumsy in the slightest.

 

Flying through the air, avoiding the Asura King’s attacks was not particularly difficult for them. Even if the Asura King suddenly unleashed a Skill that left the Pet Dragons with nowhere to hide, it did not matter.

 

Lin Dong’s powerful Crowd Control could easily Slow the Asura King’s movements, giving the Pet Dragons enough time to react and escape the attack range.

 

If they truly could not dodge, there was still Xiao Cui’s Jade Shield to help block the Damage.

 

Even if injured, there was Spring of Life to help them recover their Health.

 

In short, each Pet Dragon had its own characteristics. Through mutual cooperation, they could handle the occurrence of various situations.

 

In contrast, the Asura King was indeed strong, but his weaknesses were too obvious.

 

He merely relied on having a golden body. Astonishing Defence combined with extremely potent Recovery.

 

If his golden body could not be shattered, there was no way to harm the three Ancient Gods inside. Therefore, he was nearly invincible and extremely difficult to deal with.

 

But his advantages ended there. He was nothing more than a resilient turtle whose shell others find extremely hard to penetrate.

 

Yet was defeating Lu Fan not equally difficult for him?

 

Judging from the current combat situation, even if both sides battled for an extended period, there would be no result.

 

In the blink of an eye, both sides had been locked in mutual combat for a full two hours.

 

Lu Fan and his Pet Dragons continued fighting, attempting to find the Asura King’s weakness.

 

The result left him greatly disappointed. The three Ancient Gods’ shell seemed to truly have no weakness whatsoever.

 

Lu Fan, together with his Pet Dragons, used various Skills and methods to attack every part of the Asura King’s body, including the head and heart region, which were typically weak points.

 

The result: every single part consisted of metal of extreme thickness. Even if they could inflict deep wounds, these wounds would heal quickly, making it fundamentally difficult to harm the three Ancient Gods inside.

 

This Asura King body provided all-encompassing protection for them.

 

At the same time, Lu Fan discovered that controlling this body did not seem to be an extremely draining matter for the opponent.

 

Originally, Lu Fan had speculated that controlling such an enormous body would likely have limitations in terms of Stamina, Mana or time.

 

As it turned out, the opponent’s strength had not declined in the slightest. Although they furiously cursed Lu Fan during battle for obstructing their departure from the Earth Tripartite, they showed no impatience whatsoever while fighting.

 

In other words, they were not worried that with the passage of time, this metallic layer on their bodies would disperse.

 

They should be able to maintain the Asura King state indefinitely. This, they had not deceived Lu Fan about.

 

In this case, if he could not find a way to shatter the metal layer on their bodies, the three Ancient Gods were nearly invincible existences.

 

Even if they could not kill others, others could not hope to harm them in the slightest either.

 

“Ant, you’re truly annoying!” The three Ancient Gods gradually lost their patience.

 

“With your strength, you want to kill me? Stop dreaming!”

 

“Fighting for so long, don’t you realise that in our current state, you’ll never be able to kill us!?”

 

“Since you know you can’t kill us, why don’t you quickly bugger off and stop delaying us! We can battle you like this for a hundred years, a thousand years!”

 

“Rather than holding us here, you’d be better off thinking about how to deal with the other Ancient Gods. You’re wasting time with us here. Not only can you not kill us, you’re also wasting our time.”

 

“Are you really so keen on doing this kind of thankless task?”

 

The three Ancient Gods gradually lost their composure. One after another, they began furiously berating Lu Fan, wanting him to leave quickly and stop harassing them.

 

What they said did make some sense. Neither side could do anything to the other. Continuing to fight would only waste each other’s time.

 

This was not good for anyone.

 

However, upon hearing this, Lu Fan laughed.

 

“Can’t do anything to you? I’ve merely been testing you, exchanging a couple of moves. I haven’t even used my true abilities yet, and you already think you know I can’t do anything to you? Do you truly believe I have no way to dig you out from this turtle shell of yours!?”

 

“Oh?” The Ancient God spoke. “You have a way to deal with us?”

 

“Stop talking big, you insignificant Ant! If you really had a method, would you have fought us for so long, constantly tickling us!?”

 

“Since you say you can harm us, then try it! I’d like to see just how you can possibly deal with us!”

 

With that, the Asura King roared continuously. Surging gales swept outwards, blowing back the surrounding Pet Dragons one after another.

 

Although this move dealt no Damage whatsoever, it made the Asura King appear like a giant, telling outsiders that its dignity was inviolable.
