Chapter 523 521: Frenzied Combo

By burning three types of Essence Blood to their absolute limit with the Cloud Return Technique, Lin Xuan felt the three bloodlines in his body begin to boil, their power surging in an explosive, exponential climb!

'A single bloodline can't compare to Mu Yulong's Dragon Blood, but what about three?'

BOOM! A detonation from the depths of his body sent his aura soaring madly, as if it would never stop. Especially under the effects of the Cloud Return Technique, he felt his cultivation forcefully jump several levels!

His entire body now flickered with golden and red light. Faintly visible was another red glow, the same color that erupted when he ignited his Phoenix Essence Blood, and the two radiances overlapped.

The detonation of two types of Divine Beast Essence Blood triggered an unprecedented transformation. Dense Dragon Scales now covered his body, overlaid with the Phoenix's Immortal Fire.

Phantoms of a Dragon and a Phoenix materialized at his back. Two normally incompatible types of Essence Blood had just erupted with full force within Lin Xuan. Under normal circumstances, it wasn't a matter of "the more, the merrier" when it came to Essence Blood; one's bloodlines shouldn't be too diverse. For example, after absorbing a Dragon's Essence Blood, one should not absorb the Essence Blood of another Divine Beast, as it would easily cause a conflict.

But now, Lin Xuan had absorbed two types, an absolute taboo. It was tantamount to courting death.

Yet, there were no abnormalities. The two bloodlines fused together perfectly. Possessed by the souls of two powerful experts, his control was of course flawless. There would be absolutely no mistakes!

With the violent detonation of his Essence Blood, Lin Xuan's aura soared to the heavens. It seemed to have completely ignited the power of the possessing souls, fully unleashing their strength.

The souls possessing Lin Xuan were all more or less at the level of the Peak of Spirit Pill Stage. By burning his Essence Blood, their power received a considerable boost. However, their true power was still not fully unleashed. Unless he himself reached the Peak of Spirit Pill Stage, he would be unable to wield their full strength.

The power now erupting from his body manifested as a Flame capable of incinerating anything. It enveloped him completely, preventing the surrounding winds from even getting close.

While the spectacle wasn't as grand as Mu Yulong's, it still looked far from simple.

"He's burning his Essence Blood! Mu Shuang has started burning his Essence Blood, too. Look at that aura—it's not to be outdone! That's two types of Essence Blood burning at once. I wonder if he can defeat Mu Yulong."

"I doubt it. Mu Yulong possesses true Dragon Vein Essence Blood. How can someone like Mu Shuang, who merely absorbed some Essence Blood, possibly compare?"

"It's not 'I doubt it,' it's 'he definitely can't win'!"

...

The audience still wasn't optimistic about Lin Xuan's chances. They just had to recall Mu Yulong's previous assault to know why. It was simply too fast, too ferocious. Who could possibly withstand it?

Yan Jingyun and Su Feng frowned. They seemed to sense something familiar in his power, but after a moment's thought, they didn't dwell on it. The burning Dragon Blood and Phoenix Blood were more than enough to mask the combustion of his Lin Family bloodline.

"ROAR!"

Mu Yulong could no longer even form human words. After letting out a draconic roar, he flapped the dragon wings on his back and charged toward Lin Xuan. His speed was as ferocious as before, a blur that was impossible to track.

The instant he charged, the sky itself seemed to change color. The surrounding white hurricanes were rapidly sucked in, all of them merging into his gauntlets. In a flash, the hurricanes across the arena vanished, as if they had never been there. But the utter devastation of the field proved they had once existed. Moreover, he had only transferred the surrounding hurricanes to his hands; a mere lift of his arm would send a terrifying hurricane sweeping toward Lin Xuan!

It was as if the surrounding hurricanes had been prepared for this very moment, allowing Mu Yulong to unleash his strongest attack—Tornado of the World!

The hurricane transformed into a massive Wind Dragon that lunged forward to devour Lin Xuan. Within the howling gales, it sounded as if countless Giant Dragons were roaring, intent on tearing Lin Xuan to pieces.

"Huuuh..."

Lin Xuan gripped the Flood Dragon Rod tightly. After taking a deep breath, two golden rays shot from his pupils. Suddenly, the massive phantom of the Martial God appeared behind him, its giant Yanyue Saber raised high as it completely merged with him.

"Martial God's Fury Heaven Slash!"

Lin Xuan roared and swung the Flood Dragon Rod, aiming at the swirling hurricane. He brought the rod crashing down with all his might. The long rod in his hands seemed to transform into a Yanyue Saber, cleaving forward with immense weight.

"BOOM!"

With that single heavy swing, he shattered the surging hurricane. He immediately followed up with another strike. The veins on the hands gripping his Flood Dragon Rod bulged, and one could clearly see the blood coursing rapidly beneath the skin as his strength increased frantically.

The second strike was even more tyrannical, its power multiplying several times over in an instant. With that fierce swing, the world went dim as the Martial God phantom behind him brought its own blade down in a heavy slash.

"Shatter!"

BOOM! With another loud bang, he utterly shattered the oncoming tornado with a single blow! The entire arena fell silent. The howling of the hurricane was gone, but a smaller gale was still rushing toward Lin Xuan—the white blur that was Mu Yulong himself!

The cold glint in Lin Xuan's eyes never wavered. He once again swung his rod down in a powerful smash. Space itself seemed to twist from the force of the blow as it crashed heavily against the incoming fist.

"BOOM!"

The two violent attacks erupted. This time, Lin Xuan wasn't knocked back; on the contrary, it was the charging Mu Yulong who was thrown back slightly. A faint crack had even appeared on his gauntlet.

"Again!"

Lin Xuan roared, a red light flashing on his arm. His bloodline surged once more, his power suddenly spiking several times higher as he brought his rod crashing down on Mu Yulong again.

Mu Yulong was fearless. With a single flap of his dragon wings, he collided with Lin Xuan once more.

"BOOM!"

A spine-chilling tremor, like an earthquake, emanated from the arena. From that single blow, Mu Yulong was sent flying once again—even farther than before!

"Again!"

Lin Xuan let out another furious roar. With a flick of the Phoenix Wings on his back, he gave chase. Gripping the Flood Dragon Rod with both hands, he roared and brought it smashing down, his power doubling once more!

"ROAR!"

Mu Yulong let out a furious roar and met the attack with his fist, refusing to back down an inch.

"BOOM!"

Another devastating blow crashed down. THUD! Mu Yulong was sent flying. The impact shattered many of the scales on his hands and even across his entire body. Blood began to flow, a stark and horrifying contrast of red against white.

Mu Yulong was knocked back yet again. The sight stunned everyone. Lin Xuan's strength seemed to be growing without end, as if it had no limit, frantically increasing with every blow!

This was the power of the Lin Family bloodline! The longer one fought, the stronger they became, able to fully detonate their own potential and drastically increase their strength!

Everyone was dumbfounded. Was this even human strength? His opponent was a Dragon Man, a being renowned for physical might, yet under Lin Xuan's frenzied assault, he was being repeatedly forced back, unable to gain the slightest advantage.
