Chapter 290: Dark Dragon Avatar, This Is Definitely Not Human

At the edge of the territory.

Su Hao glanced at Ling Xue'er and the others following behind him, pondered for a moment, and did not drive them away.

If they want to watch, let them watch; Su Hao isn't limited to just this combat method.

Moreover, even if these people broadcast what they saw, it couldn't cause Su Hao much harm, after all this thing can't be defended against at all.

Even if one wanted to strike first and kill Su Hao before he transformed, that would be infeasible; he possesses the Aberrant Blood Demon, a Supernatural Sequence, and isn't so easily killed.

Furthermore, given these people's level of understanding, they might not even be able to fully grasp the skill he's about to demonstrate.

After that, he stopped thinking further, standing in place waiting for the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon to arrive.

Behind Su Hao, including Ling Xue'er, the few people saw him suddenly stop moving and stand still, all showing puzzled expressions.

Wasn't the agreed-upon thing a skill? Why are you standing there dazed, or has the demonstration already started and we just didn't see it? Before they could think further, they suddenly noticed a massive creature walking out of the nearby forest.

"Gurgle, this, what monster is this, it's way too big, just brushing against it would probably kill me!"

Liu Yuan stared at that massive beast, couldn't help swallowing, and showed a look of terror.

The others' situations were similar; they were praying that this monster wasn't an enemy and wouldn't come this way, otherwise they'd likely die without pain.

Even Ling Xue'er's face showed surprise; she had never seen such a huge monster before.

The Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon was just brought back by Su Hao this time; after landing, he forgot to let it disembark, so no one knew of its existence.

Su Hao had no intention of explaining to them, controlling the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon to keep walking toward him.

Of course, to preserve these people's lives, he still controlled the contraction of this avatar's body temperature.

Otherwise, just the high temperature emitted by the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon's system would be enough to roast them.

Nevertheless, even so, seeing such a massive creature walk past them still terrified them, leaving them unable to even breathe.

They all began praying in their hearts, hoping Su Hao's army would arrive quickly to deal with this monster; if it couldn't be dealt with, at least drive it away.

The Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon's size is truly huge; as the distance closed, the pressure it exerted on these people grew stronger, making their legs feel weak.

However, Ling Xue'er had already realized by now that this creature, with three tails and scorching magma flowing all over its body, was not an external enemy but a new member brought back by Su Hao.

"Cough cough, don't be so nervous, relax a bit; this is what the boss brought back, it won't harm you."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed disbelief.

"What the heck? Such a huge monster is actually brought back by Su Hao; could it be that Su Hao even has the ability to persuade this monster?"

Although Su Hao is currently the most famous existence among the survivors' circle, his territory is also recognized by all survivors as one of the strongest forces, a byword for safety.

But the power Su Hao has shown so far is merely those seemingly normal pale undead creatures.

Thus Liu Yuan and the others' understanding of Su Hao is limited to having abundant resources, not needing to worry about supplies, and there being quite a few pale undead creatures within his territory.

But now, the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon appearing before them has a length of over a hundred meters, which clearly deviates from what they know.

They suddenly realized that perhaps the overall strength of Su Hao's territory is greater than they imagined.

This thought made them more excited, more eager to join the territory, and at the same time they developed a deep curiosity.

According to what Su Hao said when leaving the shelter, he is conducting an experiment on a new skill.

So the question arises: what skill is he trying to test that would summon such a massive creature? This seems like overkill.

Could it be that Su Hao, who even staggers when walking, could actually shake such a monster?

Or perhaps he actually intends to test not his own skill but the monster's ability? Without giving them time to think, Su Hao offered no explanation, and as soon as the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon arrived before him, he began experimenting with his idea.

As his spiritual power surged, the skill rune of the Dark Dragon Incarnation hidden deep in his soul lit up with a black glow.

Blackish gas also drifted from his body, and his spiritual power and blood essence were rapidly consumed at this moment.

If left unchecked, the one who would become incarnated as the Dark Dragon would be his own body, but that is not what Su Hao intended.

Afterward, his thoughts continued to turn, connecting with the soul inside this avatar of the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon.

The next moment.

The mist around his main body vanished, while large amounts of black mist erupted around the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon's body, completely enveloping it; his blood essence also began to rapidly drain, turning into more black mist that rose.

Shortly after, the volume of the black mist increased severalfold and began to churn violently.

Before long, in the eyes of Ling Xue'er and the others, first puzzled, then shocked.

It turned into a creature nearly two hundred meters long, its whole body composed of black mist, resembling a Western dragon but with a neck occupying half its body length.

"Whoosh!" As the dragon vigorously flapped its wings, a fierce wind swept the area, hurling Ling Xue'er and the others dozens of meters away; even ordinary people who weren't supernatural beings suffered serious injuries.

However, they had no mind to check their own injuries at this moment, instead staring blankly at the dragon in the sky.

"What on earth is happening? How did it suddenly mutate? Just a moment ago it was a fire-attributed monster, but now, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a creature made of dark element."

"Fire element and dark element are two completely different supernatural elements; how could it just change like that, and moreover be totally transformed with not a trace of fire left—how is this even possible? Could it be…"

"Is it because of Su Hao? They thought in turn, at the very beginning, it was those wisps of black mist appearing on Su Hao's body."

Then the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon's body also emitted large amounts of this mist, and finally, wrapped in the black mist, it became what we see now. Yet they still couldn't understand why the fire element would completely turn into dark element—this utterly exceeds their comprehension.

But just as they were still struggling to figure this out, an even more shocking scene appeared before them.

Su Hao paid no heed to their thoughts, but these people would eventually become members of his territory; they are decent talents, and if they were killed by the aftereffects of this combat experiment, that would be a real shame.

"Don't crawl out of the blood sphere, or else don't blame me if you die."

As he spoke, Su Hao lightly waved his right hand, and the Supernatural Fourth Rank Crimson Essence Blood surged forth from the Blood Sea Robe.

Outside their bodies, it formed a huge blood sphere, and through his blood‑control ability, he healed their wounds.

Afterward, Su Hao looked at the black dragon in the sky and nodded in satisfaction.

This proves his idea is correct; indeed, Windborn can also use the Dark Dragon Incarnation alone, transforming into a stronger dark dragon that is temporarily immune to any attack.

Next, he wants to test how long the Dark Dragon Birth lasts, and in that state, how much damage the Dark Dragon Breath can inflict.

"Let's begin!"

Following Su Hao's nod, in the sky the Three-tailed Molten Weng Dragon avatar incarnated as the Dark Dragon; its eyes flashed with a black light, it roared and raised its slender neck, and wisps of black smoke poured from between its teeth.

Immediately after, he swung his neck, over a hundred meters long, opened his maw and sprayed a fan‑shaped blast of dark breath, instantly covering a range of several kilometers.

Boom! Accompanied by a series of intense rumbling sounds, wherever the fan-shaped breath passed, whether it was sturdy trees, hard rocks, or thick soil, everything was instantly destroyed completely, turning into bits of black debris.

Finally, under the continuous assault of the fan-shaped breath, nothing remained.

Liu Yuan and the others stared at this scene, all frozen in place.

Extreme shock left them unable to even swallow saliva or react; they could only stand there dumbfounded.

After a while, they gradually reacted, and their faces changed dramatically.

"Oh no, Boss Su Hao..."

This fan-shaped breath filled with dark elemental energy had such a wide coverage, such a fast release speed, and such terrifying power that being hit head-on by it left no possibility of evasion.

The terror of this breath's power was such that even towering trees vanished instantly, leaving not a trace behind.

If a human were directly hit by this terrifying breath, could there still be any chance of survival? This is obviously not something human strength can contend with, right!

They were all somewhat dumbfounded—you call this testing skill power? It basically wiped out our own people…

We just arrived at this territory and haven't enjoyed any benefits, yet the lord ended up killing himself—what the hell is this? Compared to these people's shock and confusion, Ling Xue'er appears much calmer; gazing at the fan-shaped breath with its vast coverage and immense power, a deep admiration flickers in the depths of her eyes.

As expected of Boss Su Hao, this show of force is truly impressive—it almost scared me.

For these newcomers who've never seen the world, after witnessing the boss's true strength, they'd surely be scared witless—who'd dare have any ulterior motives thereafter? Ah, no, this isn't the boss's true strength; perhaps it's merely the tip of the iceberg of his power.

Ling Xue'er shook her head; although she's been in the territory for a long time, if you ask her about Su Hao's strength, her answer is just three words: I don't know.

There's nothing to be done; each time she thinks this is Su Hao's true strength, before long she sees him unveil a new technique, displaying even greater strength, making it impossible for her to determine what his actual strength really is.

Afterward, glancing at Liu Yuan and the others whose faces kept changing, he smiled and reassured them: "Don't worry, this level of attack can't do anything to the boss; just watch."

Everyone: ……

This level? You call this heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying attack just this level? This must be the legendary Supernatural Fourth Rank; facing such an attack, one would surely die on the spot, grudging the northwest—can someone like Su Hao, who staggers when he walks, really withstand this attack?

Holding a belief of two parts trust and eight parts doubt, Liu Yuan and the others continued to fix their gaze on Su Hao's position.

In their hearts, they hoped Su Hao could, as Ling Xue'er said, withstand this breath's attack, while also hoping he would die within it.

The reason they hoped Su Hao could withstand the attack is that they feared if he died, that giant dragon would burn them to death as well.

The reason they hoped Su Hao would die in this breath is that, once he died, this territory would become ownerless.

They might then be able to seize a portion of the power originally belonging to Su Hao, thereby greatly increasing their survival capabilities in the apocalypse.

If they could gain control of the pale undead creatures, perhaps they would become the next Su Hao.

Of course, these are merely what they think—just a notion born of their ambitions, something they dare not act on or even speak of.

About ten minutes later, the dark dragon formed from the three‑tailed molten weng dragon, sensing that its transformation time was about to end, stopped the breath to ensure the experiment's completeness.

Then, a pitch‑black skeleton clad in a blood‑red robe appeared before Liu Yuan's eyes.

Everyone: ……

You call this unable to be dealt with? All that's left is a skeleton—obviously dead and unable to come back.

Could this skeleton possibly regrow flesh and blood and come back to life? Don't joke—even a supernatural being isn't immortal, let alone capable of resurrecting.

But the next moment, in the incredulous gaze of everyone, they saw that within the black skeleton, streams of scarlet blood flowed out, reforming flesh and organs.

In less than a second, that black skeleton turned into Su Hao's likeness—not a single hair missing, let alone any injury that would cause death.

What kind of monster is this? It really can recover from just a skeleton—could humans possibly do that? Ah, no, it seems no one has ever said Su Hao must be human.

Perhaps he is merely a supernatural monster that looks human, or perhaps that skeleton is his true body, with flesh and internal organs being regeneratable.
