Chapter 1174: Eliminating a half-God!
Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!
Following a few earth-shaking explosions, the entire floating island started to crumble under the intensity of the battle, as pieces and shards started to descend from the sky.
Yue Zhong had already launched more than a dozen thousand punches at Aji Hong, who was forced back hundreds of meters, as he spat out golden blood.
Aji Hong stared at the Gold Battle Armor, his eyes flashed with disbelief and he roared with discontentment, "You're wearing a Gold-Grade Treasure!! How?!! How could you have 2 Gold-Grade Treasures?!"
One single piece was incredibly precious, each time one appeared, there would be an intense bloodbath. Furthermore, most of the current known Gold-Grade Treasures were in the hands of Type 9 powerhouses. If a single Type 9 powerhouse was known to possess one, it would be incredible. Yet, Yue Zhong actually possessed 2 of such treasures, Aji Hong was naturally aggrieved.
As the island started to break apart, the changes in the atmosphere and energy also aroused the shock of the elite troops within the Great Dragon Empire. Many of the elites began to soar over, most of them at the Type 7 realm. However, there were at least 20 Type 8 powerhouses among them as well.
The Great Dragon Holyland was the core of the Empire, and it was natural for many experts to be stationed here.
"You have too many loyal dogs, right on time, I need some nourishment!"
Yue Zhong swept out his perception sense and picked up on the numerous experts gathered. With a thought, the Devil Domain surged, extending over a hundred kilometers, and the devilish manifestations began to pounce towards the elites of the Great Dragon Empire.
In an instant, many of these core experts were swarmed by assault.
Under the enhancement of the Gold Battle Armor, Yue Zhong possessed a Type 9 fighting strength, and his Devil Domain had similarly become more terrifying. The moment those Type 7 powerhouses entered the domain, they became emaciated corpses, while the 28 Type 8 powerhouses were also torn apart by the devils.
As Yue Zhong slaughtered wantonly, he could sense countless strands of life force surging into his body, accumulating within him.
"No!! You damn bastard!! I will eat you up!!"
As Aji Hong watched his elites being consumed by Yue Zhong, his eyes were filled with a savage glint. He roared out in fury and rage, these were the experts his empire had poured in large amount of resources to nurture. To think that they would be killed by Yue Zhong so easily, this caused a huge blow to the empire.
In his fury, he channeled out countless true dragon images, each of them containing principles as they slammed towards Yue Zhong. After becoming a true dragon, his body was his strongest weapon, and unless there was a Gold-Grade weapon, other weapons would not be able to deal damage to it.
The 2 Type 9 monsters continued to battle it out in a maddened frenzy.
Aji Hong was a true Type 9 powerhouse and was familiar with the control of spatial laws, more so than Yue Zhong. However, no matter what it did, most of its strength and attack would be negated by 90% when they struck Yue Zhong. The remaining 10% was not particularly hurtful to Yue Zhong either.
Yue Zhong continued to give it his all, learning how to control and get used to his current strength.
As the 2 parties fought harshly and intensely, as though it was a sparring match so that a half-God could give Yue Zhong some pointers.
Yue Zhong was steadily getting stronger and improving during the exchange.
The fight continued to ignite huge amounts of atmospheric energy all around, causing terrifying hurricanes and shockwaves to blast outwards.
Under the intense blasts, many structures began to collapse as the ground broke apart. The countless Holy Race members and humans within the Great Dragon Imperial City were struck by the aftermath and died instantly.
Due to a large number of deaths resulting from the battle, the remnant life force was instantly absorbed by Yue Zhong through the God-Devil Imprint and stored within his body.
The 2 continued to fight for an entire 4 days and 4 nights, while the entire Imperial City had been leveled, all that left was debris and corpses everywhere.
After going all out continuously for 4 days and 4 nights, both Yue Zhong and Aji Hong were starting to get exhausted. A few Type 8 nuclei on the Gold Battle Armor had also shattered. The might of the armor was huge, but its consumption was likewise terrifying. The nuclei could not keep up with the energy consumption, thus, it was natural that they broke apart. In fact, the armor was best used for a Type 10 True God expert, with his own strength channeling the armor to bring about the best result.
As for Aji Hong, he was also riddled with injuries, his entire body covered in golden blood. Yue Zhong's attacks were imbued with some laws and principles as well, and although Aji Hong's regeneration was incredible, against wounds caused by laws, they recovered at a much slower pace.
By the time the battle reached the 5th day, Aji Hong and Yue Zhong's strength had dropped to the high-Type 8 realm. However, they were still battling it out intensely.
"Your Majesty, we're here!!"
At the dawn of the 5th day, 4 half-step Type 9 auras surged from a distance, as the remaining 4 Holy Kings charged over madly.
Right behind them, there were 48 Type 8 powerhouses following closely. This unit might not count for much in front of Yue Zhong at his peak, however, it would be the deciding factor in the current state of the battle between the 2 peak experts.
Aji Hong grinned viciously at Yue Zhong, his right hand extending out to form a seal on the space around the both of them, "Haha! Yue Zhong, your death is near!! You think that I don't know you have a Super A.I. that can interrupt our communications? From the moment I saw you, I had already sent out a signal, we've been waiting for you to get exhausted! This time, you're dead, all that you own will belong to me!"
Yue Zhong swept Aji Hong a look, his eyes filled with pity, "What a fool, you're just courting death."
"Open fire!"
With a thought, the Radiant Battleship opened fire and the last Type 9 nucleus cracked and crumbled, as a white cannon blast tore through space, piercing the space of the Great Dragon Planet.
The beam immediately slammed into the 4 Holy Kings as well as 38 of the 48 Type 8 powerhouses behind, vaporizing them.
After that, the beam blasted through the spatial lock around Aji Hong and Yue Zhong's position, blasting into his body.
"No!!"
Aji Hong only had time to scream out once, before his body was also vaporized due to the beam. Even the indestructible god-bones within its body were eradicated, leaving behind only a white Type 9 nucleus, and a spatial ring that fell to the ground.
The moment Aji Hong died, an abundant life force surged into Yue Zhong's body.
The pure life force surged through his body and tunneled into his bones, metamorphosing them into fully-golden, indestructible god-bones.
With the assistance of Aji Hong's life force, Yue Zhong was able to cross another realm, reaching the peak of the half-step Type 9 realm. As long as he comprehended spatial laws, he would immediately break through and become a true Type 9 powerhouse.
Yue Zhong reached out and kept the Type 9 nucleus as well as the spatial ring.
After killing Aji Hong, Yue Zhong swept a look at the remaining 10 Type 8 powerhouses, and with a wave of his hands, the Devil Domain appeared, coiling around them, and turning them into emaciated corpses.
Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, "Finally. A Type 9 powerhouse is truly hard to deal with. If it was not for his rushed intention to kill me and wasting so much of his strength, I would only be at a draw with him."
If Aji Hong intended to flee, Yue Zhong would not be able to do anything to him. Furthermore, the human race on the Great Dragon Planet would have to face a calamity.
With a thought, he swept a glance through the spatial ring, and was filled with joy, "Yes! There're 3 Type 9 nuclei here."
A Type 9 nucleus was extremely precious to Yue Zhong, it could power the Radiant Battleship as well as the Gold Battle Armor.
There were other treasures as well, but just the 3 Type 9 nuclei could be considered the most useful to Yue Zhong.
"This planet belongs to me now!"
He looked at the 3 nuclei and smirked. With a thought, he entered the Radiant Battleship hidden within the void.
Without a Type 9 powerhouse holding the fort, the Radiant Battleship could now scan the planet in an unbridled manner, giving him the location of every single living thing on it.
Within the Black Wyrm Kingdom, the palace where the Black Wyrm King resided, there was a large hole, as Yue Zhong stepped out.
The Black Wyrm King was in the middle of enjoying himself, and he turned around swiftly, only to be met with Yue Zhong's palm, slapping him into minced meat.
