Chapter 168 The Difficult Trial
"Break through my shadow, and you will receive my true teachings!"
The dragon's roar was like thunder from the heavens, crashing heavily into the consciousness of Chen Xu and Nan Longyue.
That was not just a voice, but a command from the depths of the soul, which was beyond question.
The aftershocks of that soul-shaking dragon's roar had not yet dissipated.
The golden and azure twin dragon phantoms, carrying a world-destroying force, swooped down.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xu's pupils suddenly contracted.
Before the scorching heat from the golden dragon even reached them, the terrifying temperature caused the ground beneath their feet to crack rapidly.
The icy chill unleashed by the Azure Dragon followed closely behind, leaving trails of frost-white marks.
The two dragon souls have completely opposite attributes, blocking all space for dodging and forming a deadly zone.
Upon sensing the auras of the two dragon souls, Chen Xu couldn't help but inwardly complain.
"A challenge to reach the Nascent Soul stage? What kind of trial is this? Are they trying to kill us?"
Just as he was about to dodge, his body instinctively activated the "Mysterious Water Dragon Awakening Technique".
A faint black aura, carrying heavy water pressure and a strange dragon's might, instantly covered his entire body.
Without the slightest hesitation, he used his movement technique to swiftly dart to the left and rear like a swimming fish.
After Chen Xu used the "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique", the golden dragon's violent pressure was inexplicably weakened by seven-tenths.
Meanwhile, Nan Longyue also unleashed the "Chiwen Nourishing Spirit Technique".
A gentle spiritual aura spread through his sea of consciousness, greatly offsetting the impact of the dragon's roar on his soul.
"Buzz..." The pale blue aura of water spirits burst forth as if in response, instantly forming layers of water curtain shields in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, the golden dragon raised its huge head slightly, opened its mouth covered with golden scales, and shot out a stream of scorching heat as thick as a water vat.
Chen Xu dared not pause at all, pushing his movement technique to its limit.
His body transformed into a twisted afterimage, narrowly missing the edge of the destructive stream of flames.
His mind raced. Although the dragon shadow's aura was terrifying, its strength was not yet invincible.
The "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique" operated on its own, negating most of the dragon's might, which should be the key to breaking the deadlock.
At this moment, the golden dragon's attack missed, and its massive body displayed a speed that was disproportionate to its size.
Its enormous dragon claw, carrying terrifying power that tore through the void, slashed down towards Chen Xu, who was still unsteady on his feet.
Chen Xu's pupils reflected the colossal claw that blotted out the sky, and he realized that apart from the "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique," he could no longer mobilize any other power.
He had no choice but to quickly mobilize the power of the "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique" to seep into the ground.
A weak but potent counterforce propelled him backward like an arrow released from a bow.
The dragon claw grazed his face and slammed down on the spot where he had just been standing. The incredibly solid black crystal ground was scratched open like tofu, leaving several deep and terrifying claw marks, and shards of stone flew like rain.
Chen Xu's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat as he analyzed the golden dragon's weaknesses.
Jinlong seemed to be completely enraged by Chen Xu.
It abandoned its close-range attack, and with a sudden flick of its massive tail, its body spiraled into the air.
Countless golden sparks shot out from the gaps in its scales, instantly forming a huge fire ring with a diameter of tens of feet.
The ring of fire spun rapidly, completely trapping Chen Xu within it.
Chen Xu's expression changed drastically; this move sealed off all room for evasion.
The fire ring shrinks extremely quickly and covers a huge area; anyone who tries to force their way out will be burned to ashes.
He pushed his "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique" to its limit, desperately resisting the terrifying high temperature.
"Where exactly is the weakness?!" At this moment, Chen Xu had nothing important to do with his other clones, so he focused all his attention on this clone.
After all, such a crisis is not something that can be encountered often, so Chen Xu naturally wanted to experience it firsthand.
But in the face of life and death, Chen Xu's mind entered an extreme state of calm.
He focused all his attention on the golden dragon's eyes.
As the golden dragon spewed out streams of fire, swung its claws, and even created rings of fire, a tiny golden rune seemed to be flashing deep within its dragon eyes.
Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
"Found it..."
The energy core of this golden dragon is located deep within its dragon eye.
But... attack there? How is that possible?!
A guardian at the Nascent Soul level is someone you can't even get close to.
Right now, I need to wait for the right opportunity.
He quickly scanned the surrounding melted crystal ground, and an extremely risky plan took shape in his mind.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Azure Dragon's vertical pupils locked onto Nan Longyue, and with its mouth slightly open, a beam of blue-green light shot out.
Before the icy chill even touched her body, the layers of water shield in front of Nan Longyue condensed at a visible speed, making a "crackling" sound as it shattered.
Upon seeing this, alarm bells rang in Nan Longyue's mind.
This chill far surpassed any ice-based spell she had ever encountered before.
Fortunately, the "Chiwen Nourishing Spirit Technique" protected her soul, allowing her to remain calm amidst the biting cold.
The Sea Spirit granted her unparalleled affinity with water.
Even if other techniques cannot be used, one can still control water elemental power to fight using the Sea Spirit Body.
She swiftly drifted to the side.
At the same time, with a gentle wave of her hand, the water curtain shield that was about to be frozen and shattered instantly disintegrated and reassembled, turning into countless tiny water spikes.
At the same time, with a gentle wave of her hand, the water curtain shield that was about to be frozen and shattered instantly disintegrated and reassembled, turning into countless tiny water spikes.
She controlled the water spikes, which shot towards the side of the Azure Dragon's breath like a rain of arrows.
"Puff puff puff puff!"
The water spikes collided with the beam of ice, like moths drawn to a flame, and were instantly frozen and annihilated.
However, it also successfully caused an extremely slight deflection in the beam's trajectory.
Nan Longyue narrowly missed the edge of the beam of light, half of her body was almost numb, and her protective aura dimmed.
At the same time, she also noticed that the Azure Dragon's oppressive aura had been weakened by seven-tenths after she used the "Chiwen Nourishing Spirit Technique".
It seemed that this trial was not impossible to complete, she quickly analyzed in her mind.
The Azure Dragon's icy chill has the effect of freezing spiritual energy and the soul.
Its own water elemental power is actually more easily frozen and exploited by the creature. What is its weakness?
Nan Longyue's gaze instinctively fell on the slightly lighter-colored reverse scale under the Azure Dragon's neck.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon, seeing the disturbance from the breath, let out a low roar.
In an instant, the temperature of the entire space plummeted, and countless deep blue ice crystals condensed out of thin air, forming a completely icy storm that swept towards Nan Longyue.
Seeing that she had no way to avoid it, Nan Longyue took a deep breath, and her eyes shone brightly with blue light.
Instead of bracing herself for the storm, she made a bold move.
Nan Longyue deliberately weakened her protective aura, maintaining only a thin layer of water film covering her entire body.
As the ice storm struck, she, like a surfer, focused her mental energy on sensing the flow of water and ice energy within the storm.
The body glided and slid along the edge of the raging airflow in an incredible manner.
While Nan Longyue was dodging the attack, Chen Xu finally got his chance.
Just as the golden dragon was circling and gathering its strength, a fierce glint flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
He abruptly withdrew his protective aura and activated the "Mysterious Water Dragon Awakening Technique" at full power.
The power of the mysterious water condensed into a sword at his fingertips, piercing straight into the golden dragon's exposed pupils as it swooped down...
