Chapter 242: Chapter 170: Dead Universe (Part 2) The monster seemed to be evaluating Ron’s strength, keeping its tendrils temporarily at a distance, but then it changed its attack strategy. Suddenly, dozens of tiny pores on its surface simultaneously sprayed out thick dark green liquid, forming a lethal mist that enveloped Ron. The wide-ranging acid rain poured down, leaving him with no place to dodge, forcing him to activate his bloodline power. The energy in his body instantly boiled, the Red Blood Flying Dragon’s power surging beneath his skin. Soon, a layer of fine scales appeared, covering his surface skin. At the same time, Ron harnessed his spiritual power, condensing the "Ring of Brilliance" into a tighter protective net, forming dual defenses. This is the effect brought about by the additional trait "Light Flame Transformation," making the "Ring of Brilliance" more malleable. The acid fell like rain, the first droplets contacting the Ring of Brilliance immediately hissed sharply, transforming into wisps of green steam dissipating in the air. But the volume of liquid was too large, some of the acid broke through the ring and dripped on Ron’s scale defense. "Hiss—" Ron gasped, feeling the sting of scales being corroded. The corrosiveness of the liquid far exceeded his expectations, even with dragon scales as protection, he still felt a burning pain. "This thing is more dangerous than I imagined." A trace of gravity flashed in Ron’s eyes. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 After the initial probe, he had roughly gauged the opponent’s capabilities: Formidable physical attacks, coupled with corrosive acid, and other attack methods seemingly unmanifested, this combination was chilling. Moreover, the monster’s aura was far stronger than a Scorpion’s, more sinister, more ancient, more... not belonging to this world. "Pure defense is not a long-term solution." Ron quickly adjusted his strategy, deciding to take the initiative. He took a deep breath, focused his mind, and activated the [Boiling Blood] trait. In an instant, a more frenzied stream of heat surged in his body, as if a volcano erupted in his veins. Ron felt the power surging inside, his eyes gradually taking on the vertical pupil state unique to dragon species. A touch on the waist, the familiar equipment was with him, also feeling the coverage of "Thousand Transformations." This makes it easier... He drew out the Ironwood Sword, using the "Light Flame Transformation" trait to wrap the "Ring of Brilliance" as a layer of golden-red light flame around the sword blade, striking the monster’s flank directly. This strike fused physical attack with the triple might of light and fire, quite like the prototype of a "Magic Swordsman," where the sword light passed, the void twisted. ——Slash! A soft sound, the sword blade sliced through the air, carrying a scorching wave, fiercely slashing the monster’s tendrils. Several thick tendrils snapped in response, with dark green viscous liquid oozing from the break, writhing in mid-air before turning into dark particles and scattering. "Effective!" Ron’s eyes brightened, slightly relieved. At least confirming the thing isn’t completely invincible. Seizing the moment, he maneuvered swiftly among the monster’s tendrils. The sword blade like several golden-red bolts of lightning, each strike precisely hitting the monster’s weak spot. In mere tens of seconds, he had severed nearly half of the monster’s tendrils. The monster emitted a howl between lament and rage, trembling violently. But as Ron prepared to continue his attack, an anomaly arose... The severed tendrils’ stumps rapidly grew new tissue visible to the naked eye, quickly forming new tendrils even thicker than before! "High-speed regeneration and adaptability?" Ron slightly frowned, a trace of worry emerging in his heart. The situation was more troublesome than he imagined. The newborn tendrils not only returned to their original state but even became stronger. The surface covering spines became denser, clearly adapting to his attack style. The monster’s entire body began to swell violently, all the spines erecting simultaneously, radiating a ghostly blue glow. Then like a rain of arrows, hundreds of sharp spines shot out in all directions, sealing off all of Ron’s escape routes. Meanwhile, the remaining tendrils and new tendrils formed a giant net attacking from another direction, creating a perfect siege. Ron frowned, rapidly calculating the possible breakthrough. His spiritual power focused to an unprecedented degree, the spirit wave burst formed instantly. "Spiritual Interference!" An invisible ripple was released by him, accurately hitting the tentacle monster that barely moved. The effect was immediate. The tendrils lost coordination under the influence of spiritual interference, twitching erratically, creating a possible escape route for him. At the same time, Ron’s body twisted at nearly impossible angles, trying to evade most of the incoming spines. The Ring of Brilliance was also expanded to its maximum range, forming a flickering light flame barrier, attempting to intercept some of the incoming spines. However, the number of spines was too many, and their speed astonishingly fast. Even with scale protection and ring defense, several spines pierced through the line, stabbing fiercely into his shoulder, arms, and thighs. "Hiss—" The severe pain came instantly, Ron felt a dizziness, as if toxins were spreading within. Not good, a thought flashed in his mind: These spines likely carried toxins that can paralyze or weaken spiritual power. "Must remove them quickly." Ron endured the pain, quickly guiding the bloodline power to the wound. Meanwhile, muscles exerted force, the spines on his body were quickly squeezed out, each extrusion felt a tearing-like pain.
