Chapter 165: First Stage, Passed!

"Ahhh, break for me!"

The Lizard King roared and struggled, sparks bursting from between its scales, yet it could not break free from this restraint!

Lin Potian's gaze was cold and stern; he formed seals with both hands, and the chains tightened instantly, trapping the Giant Lizard King firmly as its massive body twisted and struggled within the magic array!

"Heh, let me play with you a bit more to polish my divine abilities!"

A cold smirk curled at the corner of Lin Potian's mouth; he suddenly did not want to end the battle so quickly. He flicked his fingers, and those chains suddenly ignited with a ghostly blue Flame, flickering with eerie Runes, causing the Giant Lizard King to hiss in pain as a "hissing" sound emitted from between its scales!

Following this, Lin Potian moved his body again, weaving along the edge of the magic array like a dance. With every step he took, the light of the magic array grew a fraction stronger, and the chains tightened accordingly, making the Giant Lizard King's struggle increasingly difficult!

Immediately, Lin Potian's figure stopped abruptly, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes as he once again drew the pitch-black, night-like scythe, the Nether Soul-Severing Scythe, from his waist.

Ghostly light swirled upon the scythe, chilling to the heart. He swung it violently, bringing forth a deep black rift that went straight for the Lizard King's soul!

"Human, do you really think I have no more tricks up my sleeve!!"

"Grow, grow, grow!"

The Lizard King roared incessantly, its body suddenly expanding, its scales flashing with golden light as it transformed into a golden-armored giant beast, spitting golden light orbs from its mouth to collide with the Nether rift!

Boom!

The two collided, instantly erupting with dazzling light that illuminated the desert like high noon. The sand and dust were torn apart by this force, forming streaks of twisted Space Rifts, and the world was filled with an aura of destruction!

"Your tricks are mediocre; continue!"

Lin Potian chuckled mockingly, swinging his scythe to tear through space, bringing forth streaks of eerie black trajectories that bore down directly upon the Lizard King!

"Ahhh, human, you deserve to die!"

The Lizard King was trembling with rage, its entire body of golden armor shining, a look of determination flashing in its eyes. It opened its giant maw and spat out golden light orbs one after another, which streaked across the sky like meteors to collide with the Nether trajectories!

Boom!

In an instant, light splashed everywhere, erupting with a deafening roar. The sand and dust were swept up by this force, forming violent tornadoes that ravaged the area!

Looking at the sky full of wild sand, the Lizard King suddenly sneered, "Human, witness my true power; you know nothing of power!"

Following this, it was actually able to mobilize the wild sand dancing across the sky for its own use!

Seeing this, Lin Potian retreated rapidly. The Lizard King, covered in golden armor, saw its size surge, pressing in like a mountain. Golden light orbs poured from its mouth incessantly. Lin Potian tried to take one head-on, then rolled his eyes and said:

"Is that it?"

And here he thought it would be fierce!

Immediately, Lin Potian's figure spun sharply in mid-air, and he swung the Nether Soul-Severing Scythe down violently, bringing forth a pitch-black, ink-like crescent blade beam that collided head-on with all the golden light orbs shot by the Lizard King!

In an instant, black and gold intertwined, erupting with dazzling light. Where the blade beam and light orbs intersected, the sand and dust instantly vaporized!

Lin Potian tumbled in the air, using the momentum to steady himself. His eyes were like torches as he swung the Nether Soul-Severing Scythe once more. The ghostly light on the scythe flared brilliantly; the power of this strike was far greater than the previous one!

The reason was simple: Lin Potian did not want to play anymore!

The only reason he had tangled with this Lizard King until now was to hone his own divine abilities, but this Lizard King was truly too weak; no wonder it could only be in the First Stage!

The ghostly light bore down directly upon the Lizard King. A trace of terror flashed in the Lizard King's eyes, and it roared, its golden armor shining brightly in an attempt to resist this destructive force, however...

The moment it made contact, the Lizard King was completely swallowed within it, then exploded into fragments; it was killed in seconds without even letting out a scream!

At the edge of the horizon, that same emotionless voice from before rang out immediately.

"First Stage, passed!"
