447 Destruction (1/2)
”Thousand Rock Lord? I see you have possessed the rock!”
Fang Yuan's body shook and started to grow in size. His spiritual arena started to spread and his body remained in mid-air as he glared at the rock giant.
Needless to say, this was the last-ditch attempt at preserving his own life.
Everyone knew that legendary animals like the dragons and phoenixes would have a long lifespan.
The Sea Dragon King did not hide in any secret place. He merely went into hibernation and had successfully woken up after a thousand years.
However, the beings of elements would live even longer than these legendary animals.
To these beings, a few tens of thousands of years would past in the blink of an eye. They only required the support of the element to be able to live on forever.
The only catch was that such beings were extremely rare in this realm, even rarer than dragons.
The Thousand Rock Lord was fortunate enough to have detected the life in this rock and successfully possessed it.
However, everything was understandable. After all, the Thousand Rock Lord was a true ancestor and was even more senior than Xing Hezi. If he did not possess the rock, he would not have been able to live until now.
”How does it feel like to become a rock? It's terrible, isn't it?”
Fang Yuan started to mock the rock giant.
After all, it was different from normal legendary beings. By having a life like the elements, the Thousand Rock Lord now had to live a life different from humans, and could no longer have the sense of touch.
Even the strongest-willed cultivators would be tormented under such an experience.
”You're courting death!”
The Thousand Rock Lord was enraged.
As he roared, a rough-looking face appeared and a pair of ferocious rock eyes glared towards Fang Yuan. With the wave of its hands, a 10-ton rock started to smash down.
”Break!”
Fang Yuan slicked his finger out as though it was a sword.
A flash of sword radiance flickered!
This sword radiance was not strong. However, as soon as it came into contact with the rock, it started to fill up the cracks in the rock before slicing it into two neat pieces.
This was neither the fastest strike not the strongest strike, it was merely just right!
”Great swordplay!”
Even the Thousand Rock Lord praised Fang Yuan for his techniques. ”With such skills, even without spells, you could already be the most highly-skilled martial artist in the word! Who are you?”
The sword technique appeared simple but was sophisticated in its own ways and was the product of years of experience. It could not be simply understood by the average person.
The only possibility was that this person had stored wisdom!
”Possessor? Or are you a demon from another world?”
Possessors were highly-skilled natives who had reincarnated into another form, while a demon from another world simply meant that this person would be the enemy of the entire world!
”Regardless of who I am, is there really any difference?”
Fang Yuan scoffed. ”Either way, you are going to die today!”
”You don't know what you're saying!”
The Thousand Rock Lord remained composed. Suddenly, all the eyes on its body started to shine as though they had all come alive at once. With that, they were then shut at the same time.
”Whoosh!”
In the next moment, as the Thousand Rock Eyes opened, golden rays started to fill the entire place.
”Rumble!”
Fang Yuan waved and streaks of flames appeared. As the flames came into contact with the golden rays, they froze for a while before solidifying and turning grey. The solidified rocks fell from mid-air and shattered as they smashed onto the ground.
”Is this... Rock Transforming Glow? The potential of this rock is indeed great... unimaginable!”
After all, this world was still a world with strict laws of physics. Even though the spiritual energy might increase, it would still only be for a short period of time. Technological advances could do little to make the elements last longer.
Fang Yuan could not imagine how such a powerful rock giant could have come to life in the past.
Of course, a more pressing issue would be the ever-growing golden glow.
”Spiritualise!”
With his spiritual will, Fang Yuan became an illusionary shadow.
”Whoosh!”
The Rock Transforming Glow pierced through the flames and landed on Fang Yuan's body. It froze for a moment before illuminated straight through.
”The spiritualisation of my body is a type of transformation to become an element. According to the people from the East, this is the combination of nature and man... Compared to my short moment of spiritualisation, the Thousand Rock Lord is constantly part of nature. If I allow it to grow stronger and restore its powers, the consequences are unimaginable.”
Fang Yuan froze in mid-air and appeared serious.
The purpose of his visit was to kill and loot.
However, the discovery of the Thousand Year Rock was indeed a huge problem for Fang Yuan.
”If it already has so much power while it remains injured, would it be at the Divine Refining Grade at its peak?”
Fang Yuan's expression as he started to speak to the rock giant. ”Who would've thought that a Divine Refining Grade powerful being had to abandon his body to become such a dumb thing? If you let your enemy know about this, I think he would be extremely shocked!”
”Who are you? Who are you exactly?”
The Thousand Rock Lord glared at Fang Yuan. It was as though its glare could burn through anything and was enough to give anyone the shivers.
”I am Fang Yuan. You should have died long ago. Why are you still trying to pathetically survive until today?”
Amidst his own laughter, Fang Yuan stretched out his hand. ”Nine days of lightning, Hear my command! Strike!”
”Rippppp!”
