Chapter 389

Likewise, no matter how strong Acnologia's power was, he could not kill Lin Cheng, who possessed an undying ability.

However, first fighting the demons of Mingfuzhi Sect, then absorbing Fiss, had already cost Lin Cheng a considerable amount of time.

On top of that, the all-out battle against the Black Mage ancestor Zeref had pushed the time well past Lin Cheng's expectations, while on the other side the Domain Projection had already reached a certain stage.

It was also time to handle and resolve this matter; after all, the main objectives of Lin Cheng's trip were Fiss, drawing Zeref into the game, and testing his own strength.

Fiss was already in hand, Zeref had also appeared and entered the game, and Lin Cheng had roughly gauged his own strength.

Now that all three objectives had been achieved, there was absolutely no need to continue lingering and entangling any further.

"But running off just like this would be far too embarrassing."

Although he had already made up his mind, Lin Cheng still very much wanted to see just how great the gap between himself and the Black Dragon was.

From the battle against Zeref, Lin Cheng could already roughly determine what level his own strength had reached.

After gathering the power of Aizen and Reinhardt, he already possessed the strength to match, or even surpass, Zeref.

But compared to the Black Dragon's strength, Lin Cheng still could not be certain, and the present moment was clearly a fine opportunity.

At the same time, just as Lin Cheng had already made his decision in his heart.

On the other side, the instant Acnologia appeared, his enormous dragon eyes swept across the entire battlefield, seeking the source of the darkness.

However, no matter how he searched, he never found anything at all.

In the end, he could only let his gaze fall upon Lin Cheng; across tens of thousands of meters of yellow earth, apart from Lin Cheng alone, not a single figure appeared.

But the enormous dragon eyes looking at Lin Cheng flashed with a trace of doubt.

Although the aura Lin Cheng radiated was also very powerful, it was indeed an aura of extreme light, not the darkness he had sensed.

However, no matter what, since he had come, Acnologia could not possibly do nothing.

The fury of having tracked the darkness here only to come up empty was instantly transferred onto Lin Cheng.

Opening his dragon maw, the magic power within tens of thousands of meters in the air rapidly converged toward Lin Cheng, erupting with a terrifying shockwave,

the energy surging forth in layers like a tide.

Beneath this force, the ground instantly collapsed, and even space crumbled in layers.

What he had gathered had already surpassed the full power Zeref had just unleashed, and as time went on, this force continued to climb without cease.

In just a few seconds, the magic power once again exceeded the combined total of Lin Cheng's and Zeref's strength,

"This power..."

Only at this moment did Lin Cheng finally come to understand a little of how Zeref had felt.

Strength like this was no different from a monster's—indeed, even a monster would fall far short.

One had to realize that the current Acnologia had not yet devoured the magic power of the Time Rift, and his strength was already so terrifying; once he devoured the Time Rift, just how fearsome would he become?

Lin Cheng could already hardly imagine it,

Roar—!

And at this moment, accompanied by a long, drawn-out roar, the bellow from Acnologia's maw struck out ferociously.......

A terrifying Dark Roar tore across the heavens, piercing through everything, crashing down with unstoppable force.

A semi-elliptical mass of energy appeared on the ground, and the next instant, a terrifying explosion instantly spread outward.

The earth split apart in layers; thousands of meters of ground instantly caved in, with massive cracks spreading out, covering tens of thousands of meters of land.

With just this one strike, tens of thousands of meters of earth were completely shattered, with not a single intact patch remaining, and not a single living creature surviving.

However, just as Acnologia thought this had dealt with Lin Cheng, a dazzling cold light emerged from the darkness.

Immediately after, a slash imbued with tremendous oppressive force was unleashed!

The slash was extremely fast, and combined with the fact that Acnologia had not anticipated it at all,

for a moment, he could not react in time.

Puh!

Fresh red blood splattered out, scattering across the withered yellow earth.

The source of this blood was unmistakably a wound several meters wide across Acnologia's chest!

Seeing the wound on his chest, Acnologia's expression completely froze; his pupils began to contract sharply, revealing a look of utter disbelief.

This speed and the force of the slash!

What is going on?!

The opponent is nothing more than an ordinary human—how could he possibly inflict harm upon himself, the Dragon King!

"Is it a property of Dragon-Slaying Magic?"

Just at this moment, Lin Cheng's figure had already burst out from the darkness, his gaze fixed on Acnologia's chest, a trace of solemnity crossing his face.

The strike just now could be said to have held nothing back, with spiritual power and magic power unleashed together, but in reality, the majority of the damage inflicted was absorbed by Acnologia's dragon scales.

A dragon's scales can dissolve all magic power, let alone Acnologia as the Black Dragon King—magic power and magic could produce no effect whatsoever against him.

What truly caused damage was only the wind pressure and a portion of the spiritual pressure, but even the wind pressure and spiritual pressure, at the moment of impact, were blocked by the sturdy dragon scales, and the damage caused was extremely limited.

And this bit of damage meant nothing at all to a giant dragon possessing powerful vitality and recovery abilities.
