...
The sickening sound of tearing flesh echoed clearly in the rainstorm.
Luo Nan's guaranteed strike with his claw ultimately veered away from the fatal neck due to the Nether Sea Dragon Beast's violent twist.
It tore viciously into its broad back!
The iron-hard black scales were as fragile as paper in front of the Dark Heaven-Rending Claw.
Five terrifying deep gouges, over ten meters long and exposing bone, instantly appeared!
Dark red dragon blood gushed out like a fountain, staining a large area of the sea red.
"Roar—!!!"
The Nether Sea Dragon Beast let out an unprecedentedly tragic screech, the intense pain driving it into complete madness.
It violently shook off the Golden Sacred Dragon, its massive tail resembling a long whip of black steel.
Carrying a force that could destroy everything, it wildly swept toward Luo Nan's position!
"Want to counterattack? Too late!"
Although the blow failed to strike a vital point, there was not the slightest panic on Luo Nan's face.
His eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year-old black ice the moment the Nether Sea Dragon Beast's massive tail swept over!
A burst of extremely dazzling cyan-blue lightning suddenly erupted from his left leg!
Spirit Bone Ability activated!
Sky Azure Bull Python Left Leg Bone—Sky Azure Extinction Lightning!
"Rumble—!!!"
A bolt of wild cyan-blue lightning as thick as a water vat, containing the aura of ultimate destruction,
instantly tore through the darkness like a spear of divine punishment penetrating heaven and earth!
At a terrifying speed impossible to dodge, it slammed heavily into the Nether Sea Dragon Beast's bloody wound!
This was a fatal Spirit Bone Ability from a hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python!
Its power was exceedingly formidable!
Even a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast would find it extremely difficult to withstand head-on!
"Crackles—!"
Violent cyan-blue lightning instantly coursed through the Nether Sea Dragon Beast's entire body.
That ultimate power of paralysis and destruction directly destroyed the dark Soul Power wildly circulating within its body.
The Nether Sea Dragon Beast's massive body suddenly froze, the madness and bloodlust in its eyes dispersing in an instant.
Before it could even let out a final screech, it completely lost consciousness.
Like a collapsing black mountain, it plummeted straight down toward the surging sea below.
"Done!"
Luo Nan exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his face slightly pale.
Continuously unleashing Martial Soul True Body, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ability, and a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone Ability placed an immense strain on his Soul Power.
"Old partner, haul it up and find a place to land!" Luo Nan immediately issued an order to the Golden Sacred Dragon.
The Golden Sacred Dragon let out a resounding dragon roar and swooped down with its massive body.
Its two powerful dragon claws tightly clamped onto the Nether Sea Dragon Beast's huge body, forcibly lifting it out of the sea.
Standing on the back of the Golden Sacred Dragon, Luo Nan scanned the surrounding sea waters.
Soon, less than ten nautical miles from the battlefield, he discovered a solitary small island.
The island was not large, covered in dense black woods that looked somewhat gloomy in the night.
But when Luo Nan swept his powerful Mental Energy across it, he confirmed there were no traces of humans on the island, nor any slightly stronger Spirit Beasts.
"That's the place!"
A moment later, carrying the heavy Nether Sea Dragon Beast, the Golden Sacred Dragon crashed down into the center of the woods on this nameless island.
The massive force of impact directly crushed a vast swath of trees, smashing a huge deep pit into the ground.
Luo Nan leaped down from the dragon's back and walked over to the deeply comatose Nether Sea Dragon Beast.
Looking at this hundred-meter-long deep-sea overlord exuding terrifying pressure, a feverish look flashed in Luo Nan's eyes.
"One hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation... I'll gladly accept your spirit ring and Spirit Bone!"
Without the slightest mercy or hesitation, Luo Nan raised his right hand abruptly, and the phantom image of the Dark Demon Dragon flashed briefly behind him.
"First Spirit Ability, Dark Heaven-Rending Claw!"
The black dragon claws surfaced once more, without any obstacle this time.
The sharp claws cut with precision through the Nether Sea Dragon Beast's throat, completely ending the deep-sea overlord's life.
As the Nether Sea Dragon Beast's life force completely ceased, specks of red light began to gather above its corpse.
A short moment later, a red spirit ring emitting an extraordinarily dense bloody glow and containing suffocatingly massive energy fluctuations quietly hovered in midair.
A hundred and eighty thousand year spirit ring!
Without wasting time, Luo Nan sat cross-legged immediately, summoned his Dark Demon Dragon Spirit, and began pulling that hundred and eighty thousand year red spirit ring toward himself.
To Luo Nan's surprise, the entire absorption process was surprisingly smooth.
At the same time, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone condensed inside Luo Nan's body; it was a torso bone.
Time passed second by second.
When the first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the mist above the sea and fell on this nameless island, Luo Nan finally opened his eyes slowly.
"Boom—!"
An extremely terrifying, almost tangible dark pressure erupted from his body, turning the trees within dozens of meters into fine powder in an instant!
Luo Nan stood up, feeling the surging Soul Power within his body like a vast ocean.
Coupled with the sense of terrifying power from the torso bone that felt capable of shattering mountains with a single punch, a deeply satisfied arc curled at the corner of his lips.
"Too strong... this feeling is frighteningly strong!" Luo Nan clenched his fists, his bones popping loudly.
With a thought, his second Spirit, the Dark Demon Dragon, instantly possessed him.
Two hundred-thousand-year spirit rings radiating heart-pounding blood-red light rose slowly from beneath his feet, pulsating up and down around his body.
First spirit ring: hundred thousand years!
Second spirit ring: hundred and eighty thousand years!
Looking at these two red spirit rings representing the absolute Peak power of the Douluo Continent, Luo Nan's sense of achievement reached its pinnacle.
However, just as Luo Nan was immersed in the joy of his skyrocketing strength, a sudden change occurred!
"Hum—!"
A dull humming sound suddenly echoed from within Luo Nan's body. Immediately after, his previously rosy complexion instantly turned as pale as paper!
"What's going on?!" Luo Nan was deeply horrified.
To his horror, he discovered that the two forces of light and darkness inside his body, which had maintained a delicate balance, had completely spiraled out of control!
With the addition of the hundred and eighty thousand year Nether Sea Dragon Beast spirit ring and torso bone, the foundation of the Dark Demon Dragon Spirit surged unprecedentedly.
Originally, the Golden Sacred Dragon, as his first Spirit, possessed the boost of nine spirit rings, firmly suppressing the Dark Demon Dragon which only had one ring.
To be precise, the balance between the two Spirits had been maintained very well.
But now, the Dark Demon Dragon possessed two super spirit rings at the hundred-thousand-year level.
The balance was broken!
Ultimate light and ultimate darkness were inherently mutually exclusive, opposing extreme forces.
Once balance was lost, it would trigger the most brutal conflict within the host's body!
