Chapter 83

Striking hard against the dark-gold giant crab's hard carapace, it produced the clanging sound of metal on metal!

Sparks flew in all directions!

The Heaven Snake Dance movement technique also made him more agile and unpredictable underwater!

His massive body moved like a swimming fish, twisting and turning within the dark-gold giant crab's impenetrable attacks!

He narrowly avoided deadly pincer strikes again and again!

The mental shock of the Heaven Snake Pupil, combined with the sonic vibration of the Heaven Snake Chant, constantly disrupted the dark-gold giant crab's mind!

Making its already violent temper even more frenzied, and its attacks revealed numerous openings!

And the black-iron scale armor, carefully crafted by Qu Qu Lingfeng and others, played a huge role at this moment!

The dark-gold giant crab's indestructible crab claws occasionally struck Ning Chuan's body.

But most were blocked by the hard black-iron scale armor, leaving only shallow scratches!

The blades springing from the edges of the scale armor also inflicted considerable damage on the dark-gold giant crab during close-quarters combat!

The black-iron snake fangs, like poisoned arrows, were precisely shot by Ning Chuan using the Heaven Snake Fang Secret Technique at the weak points where the dark-gold giant crab's carapace segments connected!

Although unable to cause fatal wounds, they caused the dark-gold giant crab immense pain and slowed its movements!

This battle raged so fiercely that the sky and sea turned dark, and the seawater churned!

The surrounding reefs, under the clash of these two giant beasts, were all reduced to powder!

Countless weak marine creatures were directly震死 by the aftermath of the battle!

Ning Chuan fought with increasing courage!

The Black Water Mystic Snake bloodline within him was completely awakened amidst such fierce combat!

Waves of more primal and powerful force continuously surged from the depths of his bloodline!

Finally, after a hard-fought and desperate struggle!

Ning Chuan seized a huge opening left by the dark-gold giant crab due to its confused mind!

His sixteen-meter-long massive snake body coiled upward like lightning!

The ultimate essence of Death Coil erupted at this moment!

Combined with the terrifying true qi of the Black Water Mystic Snake at its innate Great Perfection!

And that newly born, even more powerful bloodline force!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The ear-piercing sound of shattering echoed deep underwater!

The incredibly hard carapace of the dark-gold giant crab shattered inch by inch!

It let out a mournful cry of unwillingness, and its massive body finally collapsed weakly, completely losing its life!

Ning Chuan looked at this mutated giant crab he had successfully subdued and killed.

His heart was filled with an indescribable sense of achievement!

He panted heavily, and the black-iron scale armor on his body showed numerous damages.

Showing how arduous this battle had been!

But he did not hesitate for a moment, immediately activating his Devouring Enhancement Talent!

Massive energy, like a river bursting its dikes, flooded into his body wildly!

This energy was so pure and so vast, far exceeding any sea beast he had devoured before!

Boom!

At the very instant this massive energy surged in!

Ning Chuan felt his body as if it had been ignited!

The Black Water Mystic Snake bloodline within him boiled completely at this moment!

Successfully reaching its current limit!

An indescribable, 奇妙 reaction occurred within his body!

His bones cracked, his muscles writhed wildly, and his scale armor was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

His body size suddenly exploded, even without actively activating the Heaven Snake Body Tempering Art!

Directly breaking through from nearly nine meters to a full ten meters in size!

Moreover, it continued to grow!

His appearance was undergoing earth-shattering changes!

The small horn on his head grew rapidly, becoming more rugged, with a faint tendency to transform into a dragon horn!

The scale armor on his body also became finer and denser, more tough, shimmering with a deep and noble black light!

His aura also became more majestic and more mystical, carrying a touch of the unique charm belonging to the "Jiao"!

Take one more step, and he would completely break the shackles of the snake type, transforming into a true Jiao dragon!

However, at this critical moment of transformation!

Ning Chuan forcibly suppressed the wildly throbbing bloodline force within his body!

He did not want to transform so casually!

He would use the Black Water Mystic Snake Method he created—the Embracing the Elixir chapter—as a guide!

Perfectly combine this vast bloodline force with his mighty innate true qi!

Undergo the transformation together!

Only thus could he forge the most perfect "Snake Elixir," lay the most solid foundation for the Grandmaster path, and even the future path of demon cultivation!

"Must return to Taohuadao immediately! Seclude! Break through!"

Ning Chuan's thoughts raced rapidly in his mind.

He dared not delay even a moment; his massive serpentine body surged with a violent thrash, propelling him toward Taohuadao at the fastest speed he had ever achieved!

When Ning Chuan's massive form, radiating a brand-new pressure, appeared once more beside Taohuadao.

Huang Rong, Qu Qu Lingfeng, and the others had no time to feel joy at his return.

They were startled by the aura undergoing violent change upon his body and by his slightly ferocious and pained expression!

Ning Chuan had no time to explain.

His massive serpentine body, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, plunged directly into the deep, secluded pool within Taohuadao where he usually dwelt!

With a loud "Plop!" a huge splash erupted, sending water spraying everywhere!

Leaving only a hurried yet authoritative phrase echoing in everyone's ears:

"Guard my cultivation! Let no one disturb me!"

He needed to adjust his state, merge the surging energy within his body, and break through the Grandmaster bottleneck in one stroke!

At the bottom of the pool.

Ning Chuan coiled his ten-meter-long massive serpentine body into a huge sphere.

He closed his eyes, sinking his consciousness into a state of emptiness and clarity.

The innate true qi of the Black Water Dark Snake within his body and that surging bloodline power just driven to its limit.

Under his deliberate guidance, began to vibrate, merge, and combine with each other at a strange and profound frequency...

An unprecedented transformation was quietly taking place within his body!

On the shore.

Huang Rong and the others, along with the old rascal Zhou Botong who had rushed over upon hearing the news, all watched the churning waves and steaming mist of the pool with worried faces.

They all felt the aura emanating from the pool, growing more and more terrifying, more and more heart-pounding!

That aura made even innate experts like them, and even the Grandmaster-level Zhou Botong, feel waves of oppression and unease!

It was as if a prehistoric giant beast was lurking beneath the pool, about to awaken!

Once awakened, it would stir the winds and clouds, shaking heaven and earth!

They did not know what exactly had happened to Ning Chuan.

But one thing was certain: he was undoubtedly undergoing some extremely important breakthrough, or rather, a transformation!

Moreover, this breakthrough was no small matter!

"Brother Ning Chuan... will he be alright?" Huang Rong's small face was filled with worry; she clutched her hem tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Rest assured, Rong'er," Qu Qu Lingfeng said in a deep voice, though worry was hard to hide in his eyes. "The Island Lord possesses great divine powers and deep fortune; a virtuous person is always protected by heaven, and he will surely be safe."

Yet he also knew in his heart that such breakthroughs often carried enormous risks.

Zhou Botong, unusually, did not joke or play around; he scratched his head and said somewhat uncertainly, "I feel... my eldest senior brother seems to have become even stronger! Much, much stronger than when he last beat me! That aura... it's so terrifying!"
