Chapter 358: Returning to Nature
A sandstorm erupted, and its energy was like a tide, causing the ground to sink inch by inch.
Su Hao stood on the colorful cloud with a calm expression. He only glanced at the interface and let the Dumb Unicorn fly a short distance away.
Then, he connected the Big Fat Bear’s vision with “Sprite Commandeering: Visual Sharing” and used the bear as a battlefield observation device.
The Dumb Unicorn needed to be wary of its surroundings. Its attention couldn’t just be focused on the Sand Earthworm Dragon.
b.u.t.terfly, Ah Yan, and the others were too fast… Su Hao could only share vision, but it was a little uncomfortable as some of the information wasn’t synced. This issue could be solved if Su Hao used “same frequency”, but the consumption for that was too great.
“Well, the main thing is that by looking down from the sky, I can have better control of the battle situation.”
Why did big bosses like Senior Wu and Heavenly King Lie Kong like to stay in the air so much? It was all because they could act cool… Ah, no, it was all because it was easier for them to observe!
Only when one was looking from above could one control the overall situation.
If one couldn’t fly, how could he be called a big boss?!
As an outstanding figure of the younger generation in the Union, Su Hao felt that he should learn from all the big bosses and watch the scene quietly with his hands behind his back.
Unfortunately, Ehfu wasn’t around and couldn’t hold an umbrella for him.
In the pit, the Heavenly King of the Dark Society who was standing at the head of the earthworm, concealed his expression.
But at this moment, the injured earthworm dragon was clearly starting to get anxious.
The yellow-brown sandstorm danced and swept like dragons. Forests collapsed one after another, and countless holes and ravines were smashed into the ground.
But the black and emerald figures could always dodge the attack nimbly.
In terms of defense, Big Fat Bear was undoubtedly the strongest among the many sprites.
And in terms of life-saving abilities…
The Dumb Unicorn could only be ranked third.
It was just fast.
In comparison, Ah Yan’s Shadow Travel was not any slower than Dumb Unicorn for a short period of time. It could even ignore the terrain obstacles.
Its Gan Kun in the shadow allowed it to hide even its own body.
At this moment…
Destructive energy erupted. From afar, it looked like a huge upside-down earthen yellow bowl spreading out at an extremely fast speed. Everywhere it pa.s.sed, everything was swallowed up.
Ah Yan didn’t have time to turn into a dark light and pa.s.s through, but when it saw this its black robe had rolled up, its figure, as well as the hundreds of ghost-element sprites that formed a battle formation with it, disappeared together.
After a long while, it appeared again. Shadow energy resonated, and the huge Shadow Energy Ball with a diameter of ten meters formed in an instant and was thrown down.
The explosion made the Sand Earthworm Dragon dizzy.
b.u.t.terfly had even more life-saving methods.
Its figure sometimes burst like bubbles, and at other times, it turned into countless illusion b.u.t.terflies the size of a palm and flew in all directions.
At other times, it would exchange positions with one of its clones.
Or, it could directly hide. As long as b.u.t.terfly completely disappeared, the Heavenly King of the Dark Society wouldn’t be able to determine where b.u.t.terfly was.
“Which is why hiding abilities are as important as escaping abilities.”
The Dark Society Heavenly King was a very good example of what would happen to you if you had poor hiding abilities.
He had been discovered because his concealment ability was too poor, and he wasn’t fast enough to escape when they came looking for him…
Su Hao reminded himself not to make the same mistake.
He made the Dumb Unicorn fly a few hundred meters higher again.
At this moment, the battlefield s.h.i.+fted a few times.
Countless wild sprites fled in fear. Those that were slightly slower were completely swallowed by the energy impact.
Ah Yan and b.u.t.terfly were still chasing closely.
Knowing the battle tactics of the Sand Earthworm Dragon, they dodged and chased after it.
On the huge Earthworm Dragon’s head.
The Dark Society Heavenly King realized that if this continued, it would be very difficult for him to escape. He could only take a risk.
Boom!
The earthworm dragon swung its tail and hit the gravel that filled the sky. Its dragon head also turned to look at the figure in the distance above the clouds.
Heavenly King of the Dark Society looked at the figure and slowly raised his right hand.
In his gloved palm was a white crystal.
Su Hao didn’t understand what he was doing. In an instant, a rich yellow light blossomed from the Dark Society Heavenly King’s body and rushed into the sky.
Continuous mountain shadows appeared behind Heavenly King of the Dark Society.
It was his domain.
A completely explosive domain!
Strength poured in continuously. In an instant, the aura of the Sand Earthworm Dragon, which was a little dispirited, increased exponentially, raising howling winds.
Circles of earthen yellow light erupted from the earthworm dragon’s body and spread.
Dozens of meters.
Hundreds of meters…
A few thousand meters!
It was a truly impressive domain. Within the range, the ground seemed to come alive. The hills and rocks turned into brown yellow soil dragons, roaring as they attacked Ah Yan and b.u.t.terfly.
…
“What’s that?”
Hundreds of kilometers away, the Union army stopped again. Looking into the distance, they noticed a huge, pale yellow oval-shaped object letting out a cry of surprise.
They looked at each other and asked questions.
If they joined in on such a battle, would they be able to survive?
…
“It’s… it’s a domain?”
Mo Tao spoke with an uncertain tone.
“Heavenly King Domain? Such a large area?” Tie Yu asked.
Mo Tao shook his head. “It’s not a Heavenly King Domain, but a monarch domain. Only experts among monarch ranks have the qualifications to open up their own domain!”
“But… that Sand Earthworm Dragon can’t be a high cla.s.s monarch.”
Even so, Mo Tao still looked worried.
What exactly will the situation evolve into…
…
Buzz—
The earthen yellow light enveloped the sky and earth, and it seemed as if everything was frozen.
Ah Yan had just rolled up its black robe when it paused.
b.u.t.terfly also sent warning signals.
The domain was sealing off s.p.a.ce!
Naturally, the surrounding s.p.a.ce wasn’t completely sealed off. The brownish yellow halo in front of Su Hao wasn’t a real domain either, but it happened to hit Ah Yan and b.u.t.terfly.
If not for b.u.t.terfly’s experience in the illusion palace, it wouldn’t have been able to determine that something was wrong at the first moment.
Boom!
The surging energy tide spread again.
After a while…
The earthen yellow halo that enveloped an area of thousands of meters had already shrunk by more than half. The heaven and earth phenomena and the feeling that the ground was seemingly coming to life also disappeared.
The aura of the Sand Earthworm Dragon, which had reached its peak, also dropped a level.
But it was still strong.
At the same time…
Ah Yan’s figure emerged from the shadow behind Su Hao.
Its aura was a little weak.
b.u.t.terfly was nervously staring at the spinning precious ball in front of it. After a long while, it finally let out a long sigh of relief.
It’s too dangerous, gurgle ~!
Looking at this scene, Dark Society Heavenly King’s face under the mask became even darker.
But he still puffed up his aura, looking unconcerned.
As he looked into the distance at the genius of the Union who had forced him into such a miserable state, he spoke in a not-so-fluent Dragon Nation language, his voice condensing into a beam that spread out.
“Young man, enough! If you don’t want both sides to suffer!”
Seeing that Su Hao didn’t say anything, Dark Society Heavenly King continued.
“You’re already a prodigy of the Union, and your mission has been completed perfectly, so why are you doing this to me? If you let me leave safely, I can give you a few intel on the internal affairs of the Dark Society and let you achieve a meteoric rise. Otherwise…”
He paused, and his voice became cold and hoa.r.s.e.
“Otherwise, just wait for both sides to suffer heavily! I might not be the strongest, but I’m still a Heavenly King!”
The aura of the Sand Earthworm Dragon rose again.
It confirmed the Dark Society Heavenly King’s words.
He still had a trump card. Perhaps Su Hao would pay a huge price for it, bringing him fatal danger.
If he wanted to kill him, there was a risk of being killed.
This was a dilemma!
“How… will you choose?”
In the sky, Black and White Heavenly King also became a little nervous at this moment.
Indeed, letting the Dark Society Heavenly King leave was the safest and safest choice, but…
The Alliance’s att.i.tude towards the Dark Society had always been very firm.
If every Sprite Trainer gave up the encirclement of the Dark Society because they were afraid of the risk, how could there be such a peaceful modern society today?
It would have long been infiltrated and destroyed by the experts of alien tribes!
Of course, with Su Hao’s contributions, ident.i.ty, and potential, no matter how he chose, he would still be considered a genius and receive special care from the Union.
But…
The Black and White Heavenly King still hoped to hear the answer he wanted.
At this moment…
The atmosphere seemed to have frozen.
On the colorful cloud, Su Hao weighed the pros and cons.
He felt that the Dark Society Heavenly King’s suggestion was pretty good. And as an adult, he wanted information on the Dark Society’s internal affairs, but he also wanted the Dark Society Heavenly King’s… head. What should he do?
He came up with a perfect solution.
He could just ensure his safety first, and then go about capturing the Dark Society Heavenly King.
…
Time ticked by.
Su Hao frowned, looking conflicted.
“I…”
He said and paused again.
He seemed to be afraid that his sprite would be injured, but he was also unwilling to let a Dark Society Heavenly King leave his sight.
On the Sand Earthworm’s head, the Heavenly King of the Dark Society was waiting.
The corners of his mouth under the mask finally curled up slightly.
“In the end, he’s still young and naive…”
Suddenly, the Heavenly King’s eyes widened as he looked at the sky above him.
He vaguely sensed that water vapor was condensing!
“How dare you…!”
Under the mask, his gaze became resolute.
The Sand Earthworm Dragon let out a deafening roar. Just as the sky gradually darkened and dark clouds gathered, a dazzling yellow light erupted again.
It encompa.s.sed thousands of meters!
Within the range, broken rocks of different sizes flew up noisily.
The earth rolled and surged like a wave, rapidly approaching the core, where the Sand Earthworm Dragon was.
An extremely terrifying energy wave was rapidly brewing.
Hu ~!
Hu ~!
The wind was howling, and the raindrops that had just begun to fall were instantly washed away.
In Su Hao’s eyes, countless soil and rocks gathered and closed on the Sand Earthworm Dragon. In just three to two seconds, with the Sand Earthworm Dragon as the core, a huge Rock Dragon appeared on the ground.
It was still growing!
Rocks gathered, and its bodies lengthened!
200 meters, 500 meters, 1,000 meters!
The thousand-meter-long Giant Rock Dragon covered the sky, roared, stood up, and pounced at the colorful clouds in the sky.
Halfway through, a dazzling yellow light blossomed from the Rock Dragon’s body.
It turned the whole sky into dusk in an instant.
The energy that had been brewing to the extreme was released in an instant.
Boom…
The ground was torn apart.
The earth-yellow energy shock wave instantly covered the colorful cloud and everyone on the cloud that was two to three thousand meters high.
In the distance, on the east side.
A white light beam shot out and flew towards the colorful cloud. But just as it flew out, it stopped midway, as if it had just discovered something. It turned around and disappeared with a whoosh.
Thousands of meters away.
“d.a.m.n, that scared me!”
Looking at the lifelike illusion that was swallowed up and the terrifying disaster scene in front of him, Su Hao broke out in cold sweat.
Truly…
They had to travel seven to eight kilometers to be safe!
The existence of a Heavenly King was indeed terrifying!
At this moment…
Even though they were several kilometers away, Su Hao could still feel the strong wind blowing.
The core of the explosion seemed like it had been baptized by nuclear equilibrium. Energy tides kept coming, and wild sprites that were slightly closer died on the spot.
There was no more color between heaven and earth, only earth yellow light filling the sky, piercing through the clouds.
After a long, long time…
The seemingly substantial energy tide gradually dissipated.
Suddenly, a huge rock dragon that maintained its flying posture appeared in front of him. It was a thousand meters long and shocking.
From the dragon’s head, the rocks fell off inch by inch, shattered, and disappeared.
Soon, the figure of the Sand Earthworm Dragon appeared at the core.
It also maintained its roar.
The two dragon horns, one long and one short, seemed to be s.h.i.+mmering with some residual energy.
But…
Along with the Rock Dragon, the Sand Earthworm Dragon also disappeared inch by inch from its head, turning into the purest earth elemental particles. Like countless fireflies, it gradually disappeared between heaven and earth.
It disappeared without a trace.
It had already returned to nature.
Only an earth-yellow hexagonal crystal was left floating down from the sky.
Under the sunlight, it was glistening.
