Chapter 261 · Dragon King’s Scale, False Dragon Power

The special trait of Spatial Slash was that it completely ignored physical defense.

Unless one's own density had already reached the level where it could pull in mass and passively distort the surrounding space, there was no way to resist something like Spatial Slash with physical defense alone.

Although Yao Ling only had a cultivation of two hundred thousand years, his ability was strange and extremely hard to guard against. Even fierce beasts of the same age level were no match for him.

Light flashed in Chen Ming's eyes, and the fifth Spirit Ring inside his body, the one from the hundred-thousand-year Sacred Magical Devil Ape, activated both of its abilities at the same time.

The first ability, Spiritual Awakening. Its effect: spiritual power and Spirit Power strength increased by one hundred percent. Spirit Power consumption reduced by twenty percent, and recovery increased by twenty percent.

The second ability, Withering Mark. Its effect: use spiritual power to leave a mark on the enemy. While locking onto the enemy, it continuously consumed their Spirit Power, blood essence, and spiritual power.

Chen Ming's spiritual power was already at a terrifying level. Under the boost of this ability, it had, in a sense, broken through to the Spirit Domain realm.

The energy between heaven and earth became clearly visible in Chen Ming's perception. He could use his spiritual power to drive, change, and combine the forces of the world, using them as if they were his own Spirit Power.

As Chen Ming's thoughts moved, flames appeared out of thin air one after another and surged toward Yao Ling.

The temperature of those flames had already reached the level of true ultimate fire in the Douluo world. Even Yao Ling's Spirit Power could not withstand that scorching force.

Yao Ling's body began to twist and squirm, turning into a ball of light whose shape could not be seen clearly. It directly twisted its way into space.

The blazing flames struck the place where Yao Ling had been standing, but they could not harm him in the slightest.

The next part of the battle was no longer something an ordinary Titled Douluo like Qian Renfeng could take part in.

He had no spatial attribute. His spiritual power was not strong enough to sense spatial fluctuations. He also had no understanding of spatial power at all, let alone any talent for using it.

In his eyes, Chen Ming sometimes attacked empty space, and sometimes suddenly pulled back to dodge.

The earth would crack apart one moment, then look as if it had been sliced by invisible blades the next.

After only barely avoiding those invisible attacks a few times thanks to Chen Ming's warnings, Qian Renfeng had already accepted the reality that he was actually useless here.

Without Chen Ming's reminders, against this kind of special attack, even if he activated Martial Soul True Body, he would at most last two or three rounds before a powerful Spatial Slash cut his head from his body. His whole body would likely be turned into countless pieces.

The spatial attribute was simply too unreasonable.

Qian Renfeng gritted his teeth in hatred, but he had no choice but to withdraw and try to leave the battlefield.

After all, right now, he was completely a burden.

He could not hit the enemy, could not hold the enemy back, and could not even take the enemy's attacks. Staying here would only add more trouble for Chen Ming.

What he did not know was that at this moment, Yao Ling, who was hiding inside the space layer, was also feeling extremely depressed.

What the hell did this human brat eat? Where did such powerful spiritual power come from?

Although he can't directly interfere with space using his spirit, he can sense my spatial fluctuations. Because of that, he dodges in advance before I attack, and he can even attack the places where I might appear ahead of time, timing it so I run right into his attacks myself…

"What a pain. What a real pain…"

Yao Ling could hide within space and control space itself. He was a pure talent-type fighter. But there was still a limit to his control over space. Whether it was attacking, defending, or moving, all of it had a wind-up.

When he was on the same layer as the Douluo world, his interference with Douluo's space was stronger.

But if he hid inside the cracks of space, then his interference with the Douluo world's space would be weakened to a certain degree. There would be some delay, and the fluctuations would become more obvious. And because hiding in the cracks of space was itself a special ability, the Spirit Power and energy he could use at the same time were also more limited.

Against those fools who could not sense spatial power, Yao Ling could play with them however he wanted. Even if he had a wind-up, even if there were fluctuations, those people would not notice at all. They would be cut apart by space while still confused.

But in front of Chen Ming, whose spiritual ability could sense the slight changes in space and his killing intent, Yao Ling's wind-up and delay became extremely obvious.

Before Yao Ling attacked or moved, Chen Ming could prepare in advance. Often, before Yao Ling even attacked, Chen Ming could already roughly guess what the next strike would be.

Yao Ling had tried several times before to take the risk and return to the Douluo world, allowing himself to use his full strength.

But each time, he was hit directly by the moves Chen Ming had prepared in advance, and he had indeed suffered some injuries.

If he were not fragile yet still a fierce beast, he might really have overturned without warning.

What exactly is this thing?

A small bug with a faint, illusory glow around its body gritted its teeth inside the crack of space and spoke unwillingly.

If this kind of person isn't removed, he'll definitely become a huge threat to my Spirit Beast race. Maybe he'll even become the next Angel God… Even if I have to pay a price, I absolutely can't let him leave so easily.

The little bug took out its treasure from the void, its eyes full of pain and reluctance.

This is an old scale that once shed from Lord Dragon King's body. It's the only thing I have left from that era. Am I really going to do this...? If I hadn't had it with me back then, I would have died when the Divine Realm shattered...

The little bug hesitated for a long time. In the end, it gritted its teeth, opened its mouth, and swallowed the broken scale.

Its body then began to swell rapidly. From its original bug-like form, it started changing toward the form of a dragon.

Its true body was not a bug, but a mass of energy that had gained intelligence. It could freely change its appearance and aura. At its peak, it could even imitate twenty percent of the strength of the being it transformed into.

It had an extremely strong spatial talent and a natural sensitivity toward treasures.

Back in the era of the Divine Realm, their race had lived as parasites on the dragon clan, growing and surviving by absorbing the power that leaked from dragons.

The oldest one, who should have been called the clan chief… that thing had once given them a name: Treasure-Hunting Beasts.

However, unlike that lucky clan chief, its master was not the Dragon God, but the Space Dragon King, one of the Nine Dragon Kings.

It was also because it had lived on the Space Dragon King for years, absorbing the divine power and spatial power that leaked from the Space Dragon King, that it gained spatial talents and abilities that most of its kind could not obtain.

As it swallowed the scale, the tiny amount of energy that was almost gone within the scale flowed into its body, and its form began to change sharply.

The transformation ability it had been unable to use since waking up finally opened again at this moment.

A half-transparent silver-white giant dragon roared as it tore open space and entered the Douluo plane.

Its silver-white mouth opened wide and spat out dragon breath filled with spatial power.
