The figure hunched over, his back covered in strange scales. Just from this appearance alone, Ye Luo was certainâthis man belonged to the Demon Clan!
Because the scales on his back werenât some kind of magical treasure; they were actually growing from his body!
Demon Clan!
There were actually members of the Demon Clan here!
However, this was only the beginning of the attack. Moments later, the ground quaked again, and several more figures with backs covered in scales emerged.
At the same time, from all directions surrounding Ye Luo, over a hundred members of the Demon Clan appeared!
And all of themâat the very leastâhad cultivation levels in the Fifth Qi Cyclone Realm!
Damn it!
Ye Luoâs brows furrowed deeply. This time, he was in grave danger!
Indeed, more than a hundred Demon Clan members with cultivation at or above the Fifth Qi Cyclone Realm were more than enough to annihilate Ye Luo!
And worse, these individuals had completely surrounded Ye Luo. Whether from the sky, the ground, or even underground, there was no path for Ye Luo to escape!
What to do?
Ye Luo gripped the Lingyun Sword tightly with both hands, his entire being ready for battle. Yes, this time Ye Luo held the Lingyun Sword with both hands!
"Demon Clan... you really are everywhere, arenât you?"
Ye Luo looked at them and spoke coldly.
Yet these Demon Clan members were specially trainedâthere was no chatter with Ye Luo whatsoever.
They awaited no orders, because they needed none. Their coordination was already seamless.
Suddenly, seven Demon Clan members charged directly at Ye Luo. In their eyes, Ye Luoâs strength didnât even warrant the effort of all seven; just one of them might have sufficed!
But Ye Luo was a prince, and was likely in possession of some unique magical treasures. Therefore, their priority wasnât whether they could kill Ye Luoâit was whether they could prevent Ye Luoâs escape!
Indeed, Ye Luo had initially considered escape!
But now, Ye Luo had no intention of fleeing!
Demon Clanâthere were Demon Clan members here. Surely, the carnage within the Cloudburst Sacred Temple was incited by them!
Damn the Demon Clan!
Ye Luo vowed to personally avenge the fallen Human Race elites!
Ye Luo vowed to personally slaughter each and every one of the Demon Clan!
Even if, on the surface, it looked like a certain death mission!
"Eight Gates of Universe, open all eight gates!"
Opening all eight gates reached the ultimate limits of the Eight Gates of Universeâs power, surpassing even Ye Luoâs physical endurance!
As the Eight Gates opened, Ye Luoâs muscles swelled dramatically. In the blink of an eye, he morphed into an incomparably towering and burly figure!
Noâno, not just a brute. Ye Luoâs face remained just as handsome and refined!
But the sheer extreme power of opening all eight gates forced Ye Luoâs muscles to bulge beyond his bodyâs limits!
In some places, the terrifying strength even tore through Ye Luoâs flesh, the overwhelming power transforming Ye Luo into a bloodied figure in mere moments!
The blood wasnât from his enemiesâit was his own!
The swelling power caused his muscles to rupture, tearing his body apart!
Within Ye Luo, the Dragon Blood bloodline activated automatically, swiftly repairing his body, while Xiao Qi remained inside him, focusing entirely on stabilizing Ye Luoâs internal energy!
Not enough!
Even with the power enhancement from the Eight Gates, it was far from sufficient for Ye Luo to unleash his full strength. After all, he was up against more than a hundred members of the Demon Clan!
Suddenly, Ye Luo pulled out one Spirit Mother after another from the Qiankun Ring!
Spirit Mothers contained the purest spiritual power!
Shockingly, Ye Luo began recklessly devouring Spirit Mothers to forcibly expand his spiritual power reserves!
Madness!
Utter madness!
Even the battle-hardened Demon Clan members, trained extensively for such scenarios, could hardly conceal their astonishment!
To directly consume Spirit Mothersâdid he no longer value his life?!
The sheer magnitude of that power was enough to cause his body to explode!
One!
Another!
And yet another!
Ye Luo didnât even know how many Spirit Mothers he had consumed.
An unimaginably ferocious storm of spiritual power spun within Ye Luoâs body. The Qi Cyclones in his body spun at maximum speed, absorbing all they could. Yet there was simply too much spiritual power; even with every Qi Cyclone running at full capacity, it wasnât enough!
Xiao Qi wouldnât stay idle either; at this moment, she was already operating at her full potential.
What exactly was Ye Luo planning? After consuming so much spiritual power, what earth-shattering feat was he preparing to unleash?
Dragon Transformation!
Yes, only with Dragon Transformation would Ye Luo dare to intake such an insane amount of spiritual power!
Ye Luo knew wellâback on Earth, even using Dragon Transformation for mere moments had left him weak for a long time.
So Ye Luo fully understood that if he wanted Dragon Transformation to unleash its full potential, a colossal amount of spiritual power was necessary!
And this time, facing over a hundred Demon Clan members, Ye Luo had to ensure Dragon Transformation lasted long enough. Moreover, he had to prevent immediate exhaustion after using it. After all, who could say whether any hidden Demon Clan assassins lurked nearby?
If he fell into weakness, he wouldnât even have the strength to defend himself!
"Ahhh!"
A furious roar ripped from him as the immense storm of spiritual power ravaged Ye Luoâs body, breaking him down only for him to repair himself, an endless cycle of destruction and regeneration.
The painâendless painâfinally broke loose, forcing a primal scream from Ye Luoâs lips.
The Demon Clan members stopped attacking. They couldnât understand what was happening. What was Ye Luo attempting to do?
Could it beâwas he trying to commit suicide?
In their eyes, whatever Ye Luo was scheming was irrelevant. After all, they were over a hundred strongâmore than enough to kill Ye Luo countless times over!
"Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!"
The roars continued. The agony Ye Luo endured nowâwho else but himself could possibly comprehend it?
He needed power. Ye Luo needed spiritual power!
The limitâYe Luo had to push himself to his very limits. He needed to reach his storage capacity to initiate Dragon Transformation!
Blood flowed freely, staining the ground beneath Ye Luo crimson.
And this bloodâit was all Ye Luoâs own!
Such self-destructive behaviorâit was as if he were a madman!
Enough. Finally, it was enough!
Ye Luo could feel the full expansion of his power, the very limits of what he could endure.
Xiao Qi had long since exerted her full efforts. Ye Luoâs body now maintained a fragile balance between destruction and regeneration.
Even the internal Qi Cyclones had stabilized just enough to prevent Ye Luoâs body from detonating under the storm-like energy!
This was the limit. This was Ye Luoâs ultimate threshold!
And this was exactly what Ye Luo had been waiting for all along!
Thanks to the Demon Clan for holding off their attacksâit was their inaction that granted Ye Luo this opportunity to reach his peak!
Of course, Ye Luo would show his "gratitude" through an all-out massacre!
"Dragon Transformation!"
With a hoarse roar of fury,
Ye Luo finally unleashed Dragon Transformation! The long-awaited Dragon Transformation!
