Chapter 521 519: Dragon Vein Bloodthirst Technique

The two Peak Level attacks slammed into one another—a contest of absolute hardness, of ultimate strength!

BOOM!

The Flood Dragon Rod smashed into Mu Yulong's fist. In that same instant, a wave of Yulan Sacred Fire burst forth from the rod. The moment it touched Mu Yulong's fist, it erupted with a FWOOSH and coiled madly around his hand, rapidly beginning to freeze his entire arm!

However, Mu Yulong's fist was wreathed in a ferocious white whirlwind, which scattered the encroaching Yulan Sacred Fire. Still, the Sacred Fire surged relentlessly onward, gradually freezing everything in its path.

Crucially, this power was already imbued within the Flood Dragon Rod. Even if it didn't inflict massive damage, it was enough to affect Mu Yulong. Lin Xuan had unleashed all of his power, everything he had, for this one ultimate strike of his rod!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A terrifying explosion erupted between them. The resulting shockwave shot toward the sky and battered the surroundings. The entire arena was engulfed by the blast, completely obscuring the audience's view.

If not for the protective barrier, the blast would have long since escaped the arena and reached the spectators. The stronger experts might have been able to endure it, but those with relatively low Cultivation would have likely been unable to withstand such a terrifying explosion.

The barrier looked like it might shatter at any moment, but the referees' expressions remained unchanged. They were still quite confident in its integrity. After all, it was capable of blocking attacks from Core Formation Stage experts. As long as Lin Xuan and Mu Yulong's attacks didn't reach the power of the Core Formation Late Stage, the barrier would be nearly impossible to destroy.

As it turned out, the barrier was indeed sturdy enough. Under the relentless assault, no major issues arose. It only bulged slightly, but otherwise remained intact.

When the dust from the explosion settled, the two figures came into view. Both had been thrown to the very edge of the barrier. Mu Yulong's hands were trembling slightly, as was Lin Xuan's hand, which was clenched tightly around the Flood Dragon Rod.

Their hands trembled, but their bodies stood firm. The shaking was uncontrollable, and blood trickled from their battered hands. After that ferocious exchange, it seemed the two had fought to a draw!

'But was it really a draw?'

Yan Jingyun let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Mu Yulong hadn't lost. But at the same time, his expression soured. 'Doesn't this mean Lin Xuan's strength is on par with Mu Yulong's?'

"Thankfully, there are no problems..."

The words had barely left his lips when Yan Jingyun's voice caught in his throat, as if someone had grabbed him by the neck. The crowd watched as Mu Yulong dropped to one knee, bracing himself with a hand to keep from falling over.

He was panting heavily, his other hand clutching his head. The light in his pale pupils flickered erratically, as if something had invaded his mind and thrown it into chaos, rendering him immobile.

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, showed no such symptoms. His arm was trembling slightly from the shock of his opponent's terrifying power, but other than that, he was unharmed.

It was clear at a glance who had won and who had lost. In that fierce collision, it was unexpectedly Mu Yulong who came up short, not Lin Xuan!

The crowd gasped. He couldn't even defeat Lin Xuan in his Dragon Man form. Was Lin Xuan even human?

"Mu Yulong already used his full power! How is he still no match for Mu Shuang? He's a Dragon Man, a Dragon Man!"

"A Dragon Man's defense and power are both immense! Combined with that tyrannical Divine Artifact, he should have been able to instantly kill Mu Shuang. Why is Mu Yulong the one losing?"

"This is unbelievable! How many trump cards does Mu Shuang have? Is there no end to them?"

...

Lin Xuan's performance had far exceeded their expectations. If there had been betting odds, they would have been at least five to one, if not ten to one, against him. No one would have favored him. How could someone with Lin Xuan's apparent strength possibly win against a Dragon Man?

Yet now, Lin Xuan had gained the upper hand, leaving them all speechless. It was a good thing no one had placed any bets, or they would have lost their fortunes.

"You... your Soul Attack is truly tyrannical. Anyone else would have collapsed long ago..." Of course, what Mu Yulong could not withstand was Lin Xuan's self-created Ultimate Skill—Soul-Devouring Break.

A devastating physical blow combined with a terrifying Soul Attack—the effect was naturally potent. If it hadn't even achieved this much, then Lin Xuan would truly be incompetent. After all, with so many experts providing Soul Possession and their Cultivation levels being so close, victory should naturally be his.

"Your power is formidable, but it isn't perfect. As strong as you are, I'm afraid it wasn't enough to gain much of an advantage against me," Lin Xuan said calmly.

Lin Xuan was slightly weaker than Mu Yulong, but the gap was by no means vast. With Soul Possession, he was able to make up the difference.

"Hahaha..." Mu Yulong slapped the ground and pushed himself back to his feet, laughing maniacally. "Interesting! Truly interesting! To think I'd still come up short even after unleashing my full power! Exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating! This only makes my fighting spirit burn brighter! If that's the case, let's push things to an even higher peak!"

He retrieved a Frenzy Elixir from his Storage Ring and shoved it into his mouth without a second thought. The moment he swallowed it, the Essence Blood in his body began to burn furiously.

In this frenzied state, the white Dragon Scales covering his body grew even tougher. Previously, his face had been bare, but now, fueled by his burning Essence Blood and the Frenzy Elixir, his entire body underwent a complete draconic transformation. A pair of white dragon wings sprouted from his back, and his face became completely encased in Dragon Scales, leaving only his two white pupils visible!

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from his body, whipping the surrounding Wind Elemental Power into a frenzy and drawing it rapidly into him. His power multiplied several times over, reaching an absolute peak of ferocity!

"Dragon Vein Bloodthirst Technique!"

Lin Xuan's expression darkened. He instantly recognized the technique Mu Yulong was using. It also involved burning Essence Blood, but when a Divine Beast burned its Essence Blood, it was different. It was a complete boiling of the blood that enhanced not just one's power, but also one's fighting spirit! More importantly, it frantically strengthened the body, inducing a state of utter fearlessness, impervious to all pain!

'Someone with an impure bloodline couldn't possibly use this. In other words, I can't use it. I don't have enough Essence Blood to burn, so how could I ever execute such a technique?'

'Using the Dragon Vein Bloodthirst Technique on top of a Frenzy Elixir... Mu Yulong is insane! Utterly insane! To win this fight, to make it more exhilarating, he's unleashed his ultimate power and thrown everything he has into the mix.'

'He's doing it all just for the thrill. Only by using his absolute strongest power can he feel satisfied! This is the behavior of a lunatic. Mu Yulong is a war-crazed lunatic.'
