Chapter 553: Breath of Frost

All true dragons in the world possess at least one Superlative Element-level talent.

For example, the red dragon's "Lava Fury", the black dragon's "Shadow Incarnation", the blue dragon's "Lightning Form", the golden dragon's "Divine Will", and so on.

White dragons are no exception; their talent is "Breath of Frost".

This Superlative Element comes with extreme ice affinity: all ice spells double in power, casting speed increases, resistance soars, each attack carries a chilling effect, and the dragon's breath contains even more terrifying frost power—any slight contact will freeze a target into an ice statue.

If resistance is insufficient, one can even be pulverized by the dragon's breath.

Five streams of icy dragon breath spewed down together, sealing every direction around Lei En.

The largest, an elderly white dragon, emitted a conical breath stretching a hundred meters, like white frost; it swooped down, opened its maw, and the breath crashed down like a tide of white waves.

Hoo!

The half of the arena where Lei En stood became covered with a layer of solid white ice; after the breath, no enemy was on the ice.

At this moment the herd of giant bears charged onto the ice; their paws were firm and not slippery, their speed even increased a bit, but they found their target had vanished, causing their charge to slow.

Boom!

A thunderclap-like roar erupted among the wolf pack behind the giant bears.

At the same time, dazzling bolts of electricity flashed.

The spectators outside subconsciously squinted, and within the flash they saw Lei En's figure appear; a wolf king was smashed into powder by his war hammer, countless massive bolts of lightning erupted like shockwaves sweeping the area, striking the surrounding demon wolves.

Each lightning bolt's power was astonishingly high, not inferior to a Six-circle Spell.

Lightning flashed, thunder roared, silver serpents danced wildly, and the nearest few demon wolves instantly turned to ash, dissolving into light.

"This power!"

"A single swing can unleash such terrifying lightning..." The audience was stunned, unable to imagine the fate of anyone struck by Lei En's hammer.

However, the next scene left everyone dumbfounded.

As the war hammer released lightning, the surrounding wolf pack surged forward instead of retreating, recklessly charging Lei En and forming a solid wall with their bodies.

The lightning annihilated the nearest demon wolves and continued to spread outward.

The wolves moved as a single unit, coordinated in perfect sync; the outer demon wolves poured in, and in an instant they offset more than seventy percent of the lightning's power at minimal cost.

Less than thirty percent of the lightning leaked through the gaps in the wolf wall.

The demon wolves struck by electricity outside glowed with a layer of silver light, a layer of ice armor, and a layer of shadow, blocking the lightning.

These three layers of protection were the result of the demon wolves' mutual reinforcement; the larger the pack, the more their aura merged, enhancing resistance.

In the end, this Thunderous Heavy Strike caused no further casualties.

Fewer than ten demon wolves were slain; most were inner souls that vanished on the spot, their demon souls will return to Elder Hara's Soul Gathering Tower to revive.

Only a small fraction were outer souls, turning into a shattered soul card that fell.

"Wow..."

"Incredible!"

Tens of thousands of spectators let out a collective gasp, admiring Elder Harawa's exquisite control over the wolf pack.

Lei En was also taken aback.

Now wielding twelve-level power, Lei En unleashed a Thunderous Heavy Strike, expecting a single swing to wipe out half the wolf pack, but was surprised that the opponent countered it this way.

The second wave of wolves quickly surrounded again, led by a Dire Wolf King.

The dire wolves are famed for their ferocity and fearlessness of death.

They gaped their massive jaws, crazily snapping at Lei En from every angle, while a few lurking spiders in the pack spat webs and poison gas, interspersed with several shadow spell arrows, attempting to disrupt Lei En's fight.

In the sky, twenty rock-horn flying dragons hurled massive stone spikes down, like pillars descending from heaven.

The wolves, spiders, and dragons coordinated flawlessly; timing and angles were perfect, leaving no room to dodge, only to stand firm head‑on.

All of this was orchestrated by Elder Harawa.

When the battle began, Elder Harawa vanished; the vast majority of spectators could not locate him.

This is the Ten Thousand Spirits Wizard's usual combat style.

Regardless of the enemy's strength, the demon souls are sent first; the Ten Thousand Spirits Wizard never reveals himself lightly, entering invisibility or hiding behind the souls, concealed by layers of protection, never striking to avoid exposure—simply put, it's the word 'survive'.

Conversely, the primary rule when battling a Ten Thousand Spirits Wizard is to locate the true form.

Capture the king before the thief; as long as the Ten Thousand Spirits Wizard himself is eliminated, all summoned demon souls vanish—one strike to win!

Others cannot spot Elder Harawa, but Lei En always knows his whereabouts.

Elder Harawa had bestowed upon himself an advanced invisibility technique, riding atop a rock-horn flying dragon, overlooking the entire arena. Lei En had intended to feign ignorance, sparring with the opponent's demon souls for a few rounds, then seize the chance to strike unexpectedly with a decisive hammer blow.

Now it seems that plan won't work.

First, swiftly eliminate a portion of the demon souls to clear the field, then go straight for him!

Lei En's mind shifted abruptly; instead of flashing away, he instantly activated a long‑used spell—Static Field!

This spell caps at Four circles, with a range of only ten meters, and its power is modest.

But it has an effect perfectly suited to the current battle: the field forms instantly, and within ten meters, arcs of current leap through space, causing any wolves, spiders, or rock spikes entering the field to slow their speed by about half, as if in slow motion.

Lei En then immediately unleashed a second spell—Magic Burst Force Field!

It was done in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

A piercing blast roared, centered on Lei En; the air was wildly compressed, creating a fierce explosion that hurled everything outward, shaking the space itself and forming an explosive shockwave.

The Dire Wolf King's bite, which had nearly reached Lei En's face, was instantly blown to pieces.

The Magic Burst Force Field's shockwave consisted of half a protective shield generated by mysterious energy and half a thrust formed by vibrating air, capable of repelling physical attacks and blocking magical energy.

Webs, shadow spells, and stone spikes were all blown away.

The tide of demon souls around Lei En was instantly cleared, leaving a circular clearing on the field.

The audience stared in stunned silence.

A caster recognized the spell and shouted, "Magic Burst Force Field! This is Magic Burst Force Field!"

Before anyone could catch their breath, another wave of wolf packs surrounded them, the giant bears turned to charge, and the white dragon's icy breath fell from the sky.

Lei En maintained the electrostatic field and released the Magic Burst Force Field again.

Boom!

Another deafening blast.

The magical beasts that surged into the electrostatic field were first slowed, then blown to pieces, and even several streams of the descending icy dragon breath were repelled by the Magic Burst Force Field; the frost‑like breath was deflected in all directions, spraying the outer wolf pack and freezing them into ice statues.

A youthful white dragon that dived down was swept by the shockwave because it was too close.

In an instant, the more than twenty‑meter‑long dragon body was blown away, slammed with a roar against the arena's protective shield, then fell to the ground dizzy and nauseous, stumbling to get up.

In the center of the arena, Lei En continuously released Magic Burst Force Fields.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom…

The Magic Burst Force Field is cast extremely quickly, with a very short interval.

Lei En, sparing no soul power, released it continuously at a rate of once per second; the explosions rang on without end, the shockwaves spread outward again and again, and not a single demon soul could touch his hem, while the spells they spat outside the field were also repelled.

The five white dragons in the sky, wary of Lei En's war hammer, dared not engage up close and could only keep spewing dragon breath.

However, Lei En's timing was extremely deft.

No matter which direction the breath came from, or even if the timing was off, the Magic Burst Force Field always managed to deflect the dragon breath before it could hit him.

The wolf pack and giant bears pressed the assault in succession, only to be blown up batch after batch; under Harawa's deliberate control, the ones leading the charge were all inner souls.

After being shattered, they returned to the Soul‑Gathering Tower to revive, and were summoned out again immediately.

The endless summoning of demon souls besieged Lei En, were blown up in an instant, revived, summoned again, in an unending cycle.

For a moment, the situation actually stalled.

Lei En's soul power is immensely strong, and his Nebula Ring contains a large number of Soul‑Returning Magic Pills, enough to release the Magic Burst Force Field at least several hundred more times; Harawa has been at Legendary Peak for hundreds of years, his soul power is vast beyond compare, and his wealth is also substantial, allowing him to endure such consumption.

Yet neither side wants to fight this kind of war of attrition.

Harawa, while invisible, observed Lei En, trying to find his flaw; Lei En also pretended not to notice the opponent, pondering a countermeasure.

Boom boom boom…

The roar of the Magic Burst Force Field rang on without cease; even with the shield dampening the sound‑wave vibration, some spectators outside were shaken until their eardrums throbbed, forcing them to cover their ears with both hands.

He released the Magic Burst Force Field continuously for over a dozen times.

Lei En gradually formed an idea in his mind and was about to act when his whole body suddenly stiffened, and the Magic Burst Force Field he was casting was interrupted.

He pretended to have caught the opponent's trace, looked up, and saw Harawa's figure exposed, the blue serpent‑lizard's headlight behind him dimming as it had just finished casting.

"Wind‑Shear Technique!"

It used Wind‑Shear Technique to interrupt its own Magic Burst Force Field.

The surrounding beast herd seized the chance to surge forward, and rock spikes and dragon breath rained down from above.

Using the Magic Burst Force Field again was already too late.

"Roar!"

Lei En opened his mouth and let out a dragon's roar; the dragon's might shook the beast herd into a tumble, his rainbow‑light cloak covered his whole body, and he instantly flashed to dodge the dragon breath, vanishing completely.

In the sky, after interrupting Lei En, Harawa again entered invisibility.

He left the rock‑horned flying dragon, floated in mid‑air, trying to locate Lei En. Both the many‑headed serpent lizard and the deer‑head spirit possess the ability to see through invisibility, but after scanning the arena, he still could not find Lei En's figure.

This left Harawa uncertain and uneasy.

Previously, when Lei En fought Kuitu and Yingnuola, he also used this invisibility ability; now facing Lei En himself, he still cannot see through it, which feels extremely troublesome.

The summoned beast herd also flailed like headless flies, having lost all targets.

"What exactly is his ability?"

"Even the Advanced Invisibility Technique doesn't work this well; my 'True Sight' plus 'Arcane Vision' can't pierce it, and the Soul‑capturing Spider's 'Spiritual Thread Sensing' is also ineffective!"

"Could it be not invisibility, but shifting into another plane?"
