Chapter 881: Late-Stage Consolidation Realm, Death of the Jiao Dragon Queen!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the depths of the ocean, two overlord-level powerhouses collided and caused many casualties. If such a confrontation were to occur on land, it could level entire mountains.
The Jiao Dragon Queen was going all out, and so was Lu Xuan.
Deep in the ocean, both sides held nothing back. They were on a rampage, and wherever they went became a battlefield.
However, the longer the Jiao Dragon Queen fought, the more frightened she became. She had come to a startling realization that Lu Xuan’s strength was continuously growing during the battle.
As they fought, Lu Xuan was absorbing the Draconic Qi within the Dragon Orb.
How could it have worked so easily for him!
Of note was that every time she absorbed Draconic Qi, she would have to focus all her energy. She would not dare to relax even at the slightest.
Because compared to their own power, the level of the Draconic Qi was way too high. Even just a tiny bit of Draconic Qi must be taken seriously.
Otherwise, a single mistake would result in one’s body exploding.
However, Lu Xuan seemed to have completely violated this principle. Even under this circumstance, he was able to survive without being affected by Draconic Qi in the slightest.
It was completely unfathomable to the Jiao Dragon Queen.
However, it was a fact that Lu Xuan was constantly becoming stronger. In the beginning he was clearly at a disadvantage, and knew that he would not able to defeat his opponent – yet now, he could rival her in all aspects.
Throughout this time, Lu Xuan’s increase in power was simply terrifying.
It was absolutely unbelievable that a Mid-stage Consolidation Realm could actually be so powerful!
This was no ordinary human. Remembering her husband’s wild ambition to conquer the entire Tempest Ocean Realm, the Jiao Dragon Queen felt that this human could not be kept alive.
With that in mind, the Jiao Dragon Queen pressed on her attack to prevent Lu Xuan from growing stronger.
Her message had already been sent out. All she had to do was to stall for a little more time, and when the Jiao Dragon King returned, it would spell death for this human.
Without realizing, the Jiao Dragon Queen had to alter her original goal from wanting to shred Lu Xuan into pieces, to now where she just wanted to buy some time.
She had to be realistic.
Under the current circumstances, the Jiao Dragon Queen knew that it was no longer possible to defeat Lu Xuan. She had no other choice.
At this moment, Lu Xuan’s already skyrocketing aura abruptly ascended to another level.
The majestic aura even pushed back seawater within one mile, forming a vacuum. Lu Xuan’s limitless aura swept up everything in its path and formed a huge waterspout.
He was akin to both devil and god!
Lu Xuan at this moment looked extremely terrifying. A mere cold glance towards Jiao Dragon Queen froze her from tip to tail, as if she was being stared at by some kind of terrifying monstrosity.
“How is this possible!”
The Jiao Dragon Queen could not believe it, but when she regained her senses, she saw that Lu Xuan’s horrifying aura had yet again ascended to a whole new level.
Late-stage Consolidation Realm!
With the Dragon Orb’s great power, Lu Xuan successfully entered Late-stage Consolidation Realm!
And this was not too long after he had been in Intermediate-Stage Consolidation Realm!
For any other ordinary person, they would not have dared to attempt this. Successive leaps in cultivation would cause instability in one’s Cultivation Base.
Nobody would be willing to sacrifice the stability of their foundation in exchange for a momentary power boost.
However, the Jiao Dragon Queen noticed that Lu Xuan’s foundation had shown no signs of instability. All his auras were stable and powerful. His breakthroughs did not seem forced at all.
It was completely different from when she herself experienced a breakthrough. He was a monster that could not be regarded with common sense.
Reflecting on this, the Jiao Dragon Queen began to regret her actions. To have chased him all the way here, she might have already jeopardized her own life.
“Broke through at last. I guess I don’t have to hide anymore. Now, it is your time to die, Jiao Dragon Queen!”
Lu Xuan looked at the behemoth in front of him with a solemn expression.
In the twinkling of an eye, as soon as Lu Xuan spoke, the Jiao Dragon Queen launched another assault. Her claws were already right in front Lu Xuan. The terrifying attack caused surrounding seawater to cave in.
Lu Xuan did not even spare a glance. With a sweep of his hand, he struck with his sword.
“Splurt!”
It was the sound of flesh bursting apart. The Jiao Dragon Queen did not have enough time or capacity to react to Lu Xuan’s golden sword qi at all. One of her arms had been sliced off by his sword.
“Roar!”
The Jiao Dragon Queen screamed in agonizing pain.
The tables have turned!
After all these long hours of battling, it was finally Lu Xuan’s turn to fight back.
The Jiao Dragon Queen’s vision blurred for a moment and in the very next second, Lu Xuan’s figure appeared right before her.
“Whoosh!”
The terrifying aura around Lu Xuan’s whole body began swirling again, and immediately, he delivered another blow.
“Boom!”
The Dragon Queen had no time to react and received the entirety of the hit. Her body was sent flying, head facing the ground. In an instant, she flew tens of thousands of miles away. Her ginormous body fell to the ocean bed, splayed out in blood.
“Now is my chance!”
Lu Xuan grabbed his Geng Metal Sword, drew several giant swordlights thousands of feet long, and slashed them downwards.
The swordlights came crashing down like mountains.
“Boom!”
The buzzing and trembling seawater on the ocean bed was split apart by this earth-shaking sword qi. The sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and everything began to vibrate violently.
Blood forcefully sprang out from the depths of the ocean where dirt was swirling around.
The body of the Jiao Dragon Queen slipped out from inside. The Jiao Dragon Queen had not only one of her arms chopped off by Lu Xuan.
This attack virtually crushed half of her body.
Fortunately for the Jiao Dragon Queen, she was innately powerful, and her vitality was extremely tenacious. If it were any other ordinary creature, they would have been dead.
Even though the Jiao Dragon Queen had survived, she was in an extremely miserable state. Just having been able to survive was no easy task.
The huge eyes of the Jiao Dragon Queen were filled with fear. She never expected that Lu Xuan could become so much stronger after he broke into the Consolidation Realm. It was not just a slight difference. The disparity of strength was simply too immense.
One single attack had left her severely injured.
She was also at the Consolidation Realm, but she was no match for him. The entire situation was unbelievable.
Dragging her wounded body, the Jiao Dragon Queen quickly fled in the opposite direction. She absolutely refused to stay and fight Lu Xuan.
Right now, she regretted it from the bottom of her heart. She should not have come at all.
But it was too late. Lu Xuan used the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell to freeze time and traversed across space and arrived in front of the Jiao Dragon Queen.
“Splurt!”
He swung his sword, and the Jiao Dragon Queen’s head was severed with a gush of blood.
The Jiao Dragon Queen was no more!
