Chapter 480: Survival After Disaster

That dragon corpse was incomparably massive, lying coiled and winding on the riverbed like a sculpture.

"What the hell..."

Ye Lin gasped, his eyes filled with shock.

The incomparably massive black dragon corpse lay there quietly, just like a sleeping sculpture.

Even though it had been dead for who knows how long, it still radiated a dragon might that made one tremble uncontrollably.

Just by standing there, Ye Lin could feel an invisible force tearing at his body.

If his physical body were not sufficiently formidable, this invisible dragon might alone would have torn him into shreds.

"Where on earth did this thing come from?"

Ye Lin could not help but mutter to himself.

To possess such might even after death—he found it hard to imagine how terrifying this dragon corpse must have been when it was alive.

Looking at those black dragon scales, Ye Lin felt that even if several experts of the Blazing Sun Realm joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to pry off a single one.

How did such a terrifying creature actually die?

"Forget it, who cares how it died! It can die however the hell it wants!"

Ye Lin became excited in an instant!

This was a dragon!

A real dragon! Not the kind of "full-service" dragon found in bathhouses.

Even if he could just pry off a single part from this dragon corpse, for Ye Lin, it could be called an overnight fortune.

But how could Ye Lin only pry off one part? Only children make choices; Ye Lin was already an adult, he wanted it all!

He didn't even dare to imagine how much his strength would skyrocket if he used Endless Devour to consume this dragon corpse.

"Little dragon, here I come~"

Ye Lin charged directly toward the dragon corpse, but the moment his fingertips touched the cold dragon scales, a terrifyingly extreme demonic energy suddenly erupted, forming a barrier that directly blocked Ye Lin out!

Ye Lin himself felt as if he had been hit by a speeding high-speed train; the bones all over his body began to crack and shatter, his whole person suffered a heavy blow, and his body carved a long trench into the bottom of the riverbed.

Seeing this, the Nether Ghost Ray revealed a hint of triumph in its murky green eyes, thinking its scheme had succeeded, and charged toward Ye Lin.

The Nether Ghost Ray had lived day and night with this dragon corpse; although it did not know the origin of the corpse, it knew very well that for many years, any creature that dared to touch the dragon corpse would be crushed to death by the pressure radiating from it.

This Demon Emperor who had almost killed it would be no exception!

The Nether Ghost Ray opened its blood-red maw, wanting to swallow Ye Lin to nourish its own body.

But at this moment, two large hands pressed against its upper and lower jaws respectively, preventing the Nether Ghost Ray's maw from closing again.

Terror appeared in the Nether Ghost Ray's eyes.

How is this possible?

It was one thing for this guy to still be alive, but how did he still have the strength to resist?

"You're not being honest, are you? Still daring to plot against me?"

Ye Lin's eyes were filled with coldness; if not for the Law of Immortality in his body, that last strike would definitely have cost him his life.

The Nether Ghost Ray trembled, wanting to beg for mercy, but Ye Lin directly grabbed its upper and lower jaws and tore with force; the terrifying power directly ripped the Nether Ghost Ray into two halves bit by bit!

Fresh blood drifted into the black Nether Demon River.

Afterward, Ye Lin activated Endless Devour, digesting the Nether Ghost Ray completely.

Seeing that the strongest Nether Ghost Ray in their group had been killed, the other Nether Ghost Rays immediately wanted to flee, but how could Ye Lin give them that chance?

When will the cycle of vengeance end? Cut the weeds and dig up the roots to have no worries.

Not a single one of these Nether Ghost Rays could escape from Ye Lin's grasp.

After dealing with the Nether Ghost Rays, Ye Lin looked back at the dragon corpse.

"Is this thing that sinister? It's been dead for so long and still has the power to repel me?"

Ye Lin was somewhat unconvinced.

This time, he directly activated Dragon Transformation, and his expanded dragon arm grabbed onto the dragon corpse.

As long as he had the chance to make substantial contact with this dragon corpse, Ye Lin would be able to activate Endless Devour and refine it directly!

But just like before, the moment he made contact with the dragon corpse, the terrifying demonic energy appeared again and killed Ye Lin on the spot.

"Dragon Transformation doesn't work either?"

Ye Lin was unwilling to give up just like that; he circled the dragon corpse, searching up, down, left, and right. He didn't believe that the defensive power of this dragon corpse was this terrifying all over its body.

Eyes, mouth, nostrils, ear canals.

Ye Lin tried every single part of the dragon corpse, but no matter where he touched, there was only one final result: being crushed to death by the demonic energy radiating from the dragon corpse.

After dying over a hundred times, Ye Lin was also somewhat broken.

A dragon corpse was laid out right in front of him, yet he couldn't reap any benefits; how could Ye Lin accept this?

It was like obtaining the Forbidden Spell of Dual Cultivation and releasing it on your favorite goddess, only to find that both her hands were broken, she had mouth ulcers, was on her period, and had combined internal and external hemorrhoids.

The broken Ye Lin felt his blood boil, and he soon found the only place on the back of the dragon corpse not covered by dragon scales.

The Dragon's Eye!

"Damn it, I don't believe it, you can repel me here too?"

Ye Lin activated Dragon Transformation again, and terrifying power gathered on his dragon arm!

Boom!

As this punch was thrown, the terrifying power dominated the heavens and the earth, stirring the water of the Nether Demon River into countless whirlpools, and the demonic creatures living in the surrounding Nether Demon River were so frightened that they fled in all directions, far away from this place.

The Dragon's Eye, which was not covered by dragon scales, indeed had lower defensive power than other places; Ye Lin's full-force punch went three inches into the eye!

The dragon corpse paused slightly, but no thick demonic energy was released, as if it had lost all its strength and means.

"Success!"

Ye Lin's face lit up with joy, but before he could be happy for long, the next second, a terrifying dragon might erupted, crushing his entire body into a pile of mush!

The next second, Ye Lin watched in horror as this dragon corpse, which had been dead for who knows how long, actually slowly lifted a massive dragon head!

Ye Lin's scalp went numb; he didn't know the specific strength of this dragon corpse, but seeing that the pressure radiating from the opponent could kill him, he was definitely no match for this dragon corpse!

Ye Lin didn't dare to stay here any longer and turned to flee without hesitation, his two legs swimming in the Nether Demon River like propellers.

However, the dragon corpse didn't seem to have any intention of chasing Ye Lin; it just watched Ye Lin quietly. Those dragon eyes had already opened completely, but they were murky and deathly still, with not a hint of vitality to be seen.

Not knowing how long he had been swimming, Ye Lin finally poked his head out of the Nether Demon River; breathing in fresh air, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

He never expected that just by poking the Dragon's Eye, he could actually poke the dragon corpse back to life.

"Is this Nether Demon River stagnant water or what? So treacherous? A dragon corpse that's been dead for so long can still rise from the dead?"
