183 Devour 1 (2/2)

Chenglei's Black Jade Dragon had opened its mouth, positioning the spear just in front of it. Chenglei himself sat cross-legged, his face the picture of concentration and fatigue.

Spear will gathered wildly as the spear seemed to begin to glow under the rising heat.

'how am I supposed to get close to that… that spear will is a death sentence…'

Chenglei's spear will had reached an unprecendented level. It was clear he had understood at least two paths along it… the sharpness path… and the dominance path… a dominance path that couldn't help but incite his demonic will to all new levels…

BOOM!

The spear instantaneously lost its form, being engulfed in endless flames.

BOOM!

The temperature rose again as layers and layers of spear will coated the raging technique… it was almost like another sun had formed in the mouth of the dragon…

The crowd suddenly realize that 300 meters wouldn't be enough… they stood, the elders taking the young and fleeing…

Ri suddenly appeared by Dyon's side, a sheen of sweat on her forehead, but wearing a complacent smile.

Dyon shivered as he realized she had a clump of silver hair in her hand and Jade who lied a distance away… was decidedly more… bald.

Despite the danger of the situation, Dyon couldn't help but laugh, ”pft.”

Shaking his head, Dyon focused, ”we can't get close… I can only prepare a technique to counter… are you sure you want to stand by my side?...”

Ri flicked Dyon's forehead, ”don't ask me stupid questions or I'll make you swallow all this hair.”

Dyon smiled, wrapping a wing around Ri as they stood in the air.

Bring his hands together, Dyon took a deep breath, realizing Chenglei was about to reach the peak of his technique, ”I've never tried this before…” he said quietly.

BOOM!

Endless heat steamed off of Dyon in the face of Chenglei's growing sun… and yet, it had nothing to do with Chenglei.

Dyon's soul exploded in strength, climbing rapidly to the middle of the 6th stage, causing his aurora to dance with happiness.

And then… Dyon did something he had never done before… instead of creating tens of weapon's hell arrays, he created just one… but the size… was enormous.

Dyon grunted under the strain of creating an array on such a large scale, but he suddenly felt a peaceful feeling as a soft hand found its way to his back. Dyon was quickly flooded with such a pure feeling of health and happiness that he almost forgot he was in battle.

”Thank you, Ri… this makes this much easier…”

BOOM!

Dyon's array expanded in size again and again… until it towered behind him at well more than 500 meters in height and shining a blinding purple-gold, completely dwarfing Chenglei's dragon… and yet, it was as though it would collapse under the pressure at any time…

Chenglei seemed unperturbed by the change. Although there was a size difference, that difference was only due to how much less refined Dyon's technique was… the scale of something didn't always equate to its power…

”Watch closely…” Chenglei said faintly, ”This is the legacy of the Daiyu clan…”

The temperature seemed to raise to even yet another level. A ball of fire, spear and demonic will raged in the skies, looming domineeringly in the mouth of the dragon.

Suddenly, a spear of epic proportions appeared at the center of Dyon's array… spinning ever so slowly…

Chenglei's eyes snapped open, ”Know despair… Black Jade Sun: Annihilation!”
