Confronted by the dual defenses of the Eris Symbiote, Ye Lan persisted with the Touch of the Ancient Beast, attempting to break through for several seconds before realizing his efforts were entirely futile.
Without hesitation, Ye Lan activated Flash, instantly creating dozens of meters of distance between himself and the formidable creature.
The reason Ye Lan had chosen to create this gap with the Eris Symbiote was so that he could utilize his Blue God Prophet ability.
However, his Complete Blood Armor form consumed his combat-ready Blue Silver Grass units.
Upon deactivating the Complete Blood Armor state, he could free up the Blue Silver Grass, but at the same time, his physical attributes would plummet dramatically.
In such a weakened condition, Ye Lan had absolutely no confidence in his ability to engage the Eris Symbiote in close-quarters combat.
A moment later, the crimson mist enveloping Ye Lan's body gradually dissipated.
"Domain of Nature!"
An emerald domain erupted from within Ye Lan's body, completely enveloping the Eris Symbiote.
Following this, a golden spirit light flashed across Ye Lan's entire being as he released all his combat-ready Blue Silver Grass.
Countless Golden-Patterned Blue Star Emerald Vines began to grow at an incredible speed, centering on the Eris Symbiote.
"Blue God Prophet!"
Every three units of combat-ready Blue Silver Grass merged to form a Blue Silver Priest. The vitality of these Blue Silver Priests was then directly amplified by six hundred percent thanks to the "I Want to Grow" ability!
The final health bonus from Ultimate Water elevated the Blue Silver Priests' vitality to a staggering fourteen hundred percent of their base health!
And within the Domain of Nature, all natural life received another fifty percent boost to their vitality!
This brought the Blue Silver Priests' total base health bonus to an incredible two thousand one hundred percent!
Furthermore, the base health of a Blue Silver Priest was three times that of a standard combat-ready Blue Silver Grass unit.
This meant that the ten Blue Silver Priests now possessed a vitality sixty-three times greater than the individual grass units they were formed from!
Empowered by both the Domain of Nature and Ultimate Water, the Blue Silver Priests swelled to a colossal size, each reaching over twenty meters in height with a diameter of more than sixty centimeters!
The Eris Symbiote stared in astonishment at the towering, twenty-meter-tall Blue Silver Priests surrounding it.
It found it impossible to believe that these gigantic vines were actually the Martial Soul of the blond-haired Grand Spirit Master!
Ye Lan gazed coldly at the Eris Symbiote's Frost Wolf head and its Lava Dragon head.
"Blue Silver Priests, crush them!"
The ten Blue Silver Priests immediately enveloped the creature's lava shield. Even though the Eris Symbiote stood ten meters tall with a waist three meters thick, its size was utterly insignificant in the face of the ten massive Blue Silver Priests.
In just a few moments, the Eris Symbiote was completely encased by the ten Blue Silver Priests!
With all its enhancements, a single Blue Silver Priest was comparable to a Spirit King. The combined constricting force of ten of them was something even the Eris Symbiote, with its dual defenses active, could not possibly withstand.
Crack!
The instant the Eris Symbiote's lava shield shattered, a tremendous surge of molten energy exploded from within the sphere of Blue Silver Priests.
The Cage of the Blue Silver Priests was instantly blasted outward, its diameter expanding by more than a meter as countless crimson flames erupted from the gaps. Ye Lan immediately channeled his spirit power to mend the damaged Blue Silver Priests, and the moment they were repaired, he manipulated them to continue their crushing assault on the Eris Symbiote!
Just as the Cage of the Blue Silver Priests was about to tighten its grip on the Eris Symbiote once more, the ice-blue core and the molten core on its chest lit up simultaneously. The Eris Symbiote's body instantly turned an icy blue, and a frigid aura erupted from the frozen core.
The ground beneath the Eris Symbiote rapidly frosted over, the ice spreading outwards with astonishing speed.
Within a radius of several dozen meters, the entire environment around the Cage of the Blue Silver Priests was instantly transformed into a landscape of blue and white.
The once-resilient Cage of the Blue Silver Priests became incredibly rigid and brittle.
Although the Blue Silver Priests possessed the Ultimate Water attribute, the Eris Symbiote's ice attribute was infinitely close to the legendary Ultimate Ice! Compounded by the enormous gap in their spirit power, the Blue Silver Priests were unable to immunize themselves from the creature's freezing power!
Just as Ye Lan was about to retract the Cage of the Blue Silver Priests, the Eris Symbiote's other core—the Lava Dragon head—made its move!
The Lava Dragon's massive maw gathered a ferocious wave of molten energy!
ROAR!
Accompanied by a deafening draconic roar, a two-meter-thick beam of molten energy instantly shot out from the Lava Dragon's mouth.
As the Scorching Lava Wave slammed into the now-frozen Cage of the Blue Silver Priests, ice and fire collided, instantly triggering a violent steam explosion!
The ferocious Scorching Lava Wave, amplified by the steam explosion, instantly broke through the restraints of the Cage of the Blue Silver Priests.
Countless shattered remnants of the Blue Silver Priests were sent flying everywhere, scattered across the sky by the force of the Scorching Lava Wave!
After the Eris Symbiote used its Frozen Barrier and Scorching Lava Wave to break free from the Cage of the Blue Silver Priests, it immediately pinpointed Ye Lan's location.
The Lava Dragon's molten eyes locked onto Ye Lan, and the continuously firing Scorching Lava Wave instantly swiveled to target the blond-haired human.
Seeing the colossal beam of molten energy hurtling toward him, Ye Lan immediately used Flash to retreat into the distance.
Yet, no matter how quickly he moved left or right, the Lava Dragon remained firmly locked onto his position.
With just a slight turn of its head, the Lava Dragon redirected the Scorching Lava Wave to intercept Ye Lan. In the instant before the beam was about to hit him, Ye Lan made a decisive choice.
"Sacrifice!"
Ye Lan commanded all of his half-dead Blue Silver Priests to self-destruct. He then summoned countless new strands of Blue Silver Grass from his body, weaving them into a spherical shield of absolute defense around himself.
The moment the Scorching Lava Wave made contact with the Blue Silver Absolute Defense, the golden grass strands were instantly charred black.
Sensing the intense energy of the molten beam, Ye Lan immediately manipulated the Blue Silver Grass within his Absolute Defense to rotate continuously, bringing undamaged strands to the front to withstand the Scorching Lava Wave.
As the damaged grass rotated behind him, he used his spirit power to restore it.
Although the rotating Blue Silver Absolute Defense could be maintained, a two-meter-thick wave of molten energy was not something Tang San's hidden weapons could compare to.
Countless searing flames still managed to penetrate the gaps between the Blue Silver Grass, reaching Ye Lan within the sphere.
"Perfect Water Shield!"
Inside the Blue Silver Absolute Defense, another deep blue spherical shield rose, isolating him from the countless scorching flames. Seeing the blue silver sphere passively enduring the massive energy wave, Dugu Yan asked anxiously, "Grandpa, will Ye Lan be okay inside that Blue Silver Grass? Fire-attribute energy beams are the ultimate counter to Blue Silver Grass! Can it really hold up?"
Dugu Bo, sensing that Ye Lan's aura was stable, comforted her, "Yan Yan, don't worry. He's my future grandson-in-law! The most monstrous genius on the entire continent!"
Ye Leng Leng's palms were slick with sweat, fully prepared to heal Ye Lan at a moment's notice.
Xiao Xue stared intently at the sphere of Blue Silver Absolute Defense. Could Ye Lan truly do this?
Zhu Zhuqing tightly gripped Ning Rongrong's small hand, their palms already drenched in sweat. The sheer power of the Eris Symbiote was on a completely different level compared to the Swamp Poison Dragon or the Shadowy Night Cat!
After more than ten seconds, the Eris Symbiote's Scorching Lava Wave finally subsided!
Looking at the charred, carbonized vines, the Frost Wolf's ice-blue pupils finally revealed a hint of joy.
Although the blond-haired human had given it a few surprises, he actually tried to use plants to resist a Scorching Lava Wave?
What an overconfident human.
The scorched Blue Silver Grass slowly fell onto the black cobblestones below. Just as the Frost Wolf was about to admire the blond-haired human's corpse, something unexpected happened.
Bang!
Countless cobblestones flew into the air. Where Ye Lan had been standing, only a massive crater remained. He had vanished in an instant!
In the Frost Wolf's vision, a brief shimmer was the only thing that appeared where the blond-haired human had been.
Crack.
Then, the Frost Wolf's vision went black. The ice-blue core in its chest had been shattered!
The moment the ice-blue core was destroyed, it emitted an intense blue light.
The Eris Symbiote's ice-blue core instantly exploded! Countless shards of ice shot towards the human who had closed the distance.
Through his Golden Pupils, Ye Lan watched as innumerable ice shards slowly expanded toward him. Ignoring the searing pain that assaulted his mind, he immediately used the Touch of the Ancient Beast to completely envelop himself.
Countless high-velocity ice shards tore away chunks of purple flesh from the Touch of the Ancient Beast. Ye Lan channeled all his spirit power, activating the super-regeneration of the Touch of the Ancient Beast!
The ice crystal explosion and the super-regeneration reached a state of equilibrium. The Touch of the Ancient Beast was continuously shredded by the ice crystals, and if it weren't for its constant, rapid regeneration, the relentless barrage from the Eris Symbiote's shattered core would have already stripped it clean of all its flesh.
Just a moment ago, as soon as the Eris Symbiote had finished releasing its Scorching Lava Wave, Ye Lan had immediately combined Flash with Flash Step. In the instant he approached the Eris Symbiote, he perfectly executed a spirit power-infused Meteor strike.
At an unimaginable speed, Ye Lan had instantly obliterated the Eris Symbiote's ice-blue core.
However, Ye Lan's right fist had also been completely crushed into a pulp of mangled flesh and shattered bone. Before he even had time to channel his Blue Silver Grass to convert life force and heal his right fist, the shattered ice-blue core began to detonate!
What followed was Ye Lan enduring immense pain as he used the Touch of the Ancient Beast to resist the countless flying ice shards.
Several seconds later, the explosion from the Eris Symbiote's ice-blue shards finally ended!
Ye Lan gripped his right wrist with his left hand, continuously using his Blue Silver Grass to convert life force to heal his right fist.
He then deactivated the Touch of the Ancient Beast and began to observe the Eris Symbiote.
However, the Eris Symbiote had vanished!
Where did it go?
A fierce gust of wind attacked Ye Lan from behind. He immediately combined Flash with Echoing Shift, teleporting dozens of meters forward to escape the danger. Looking back, he saw what had become of his foe.
Having lost its ice-blue core, the Eris Symbiote had now transformed into a Lava Dragon!
This Lava Dragon was unlike the Chinese-style dragons of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; it was a wicked Western dragon! On its back was a pair of enormous, lava-colored fleshy wings!
The Lava Dragon was now surrounded by a Lava Shield, and with only a single molten core, its energy recovery was even faster!
The Lava Dragon beat its fleshy wings relentlessly, charging toward Ye Lan.
From a height of over twenty meters, it continuously fired Lava Orbs. The moment these orbs passed through its Lava Shield, they instantly grew larger.
Ye Lan could only rely on a constant state of Flash Step to evade the Lava Dragon's barrage of Lava Orbs.
In just a few seconds, the ground around Ye Lan was corroded into pits of magma by the Lava Orbs.
Seeing that Ye Lan was running out of places to stand, the Lava Dragon in the sky grinned and redoubled its efforts, spewing countless more Lava Orbs at him.
Ye Lan frowned and immediately activated the second form of the Touch of the Ancient Beast!
Eight thick, long, deep-blue streams of force erupted from Ye Lan's back. After ascending into the air, he immediately activated Flash, flying towards the Lava Dragon at extreme speed.
When the Lava Dragon saw the blond-haired human actually take flight, its jaw dropped, clearly stunned by the development.
It watched as the blond-haired human closed the ten-meter gap between them in just a few seconds.
The Lava Dragon frantically flapped its huge red, fleshy wings, attempting to get away from Ye Lan.
It was no fool; its second core had been instantly shattered by this human. Its original plan was to use its flight advantage to wear the human down, but now, it just wanted to buy time!
Taking advantage of the moment the Lava Dragon turned, Ye Lan combined Flash with Meteor and Echoing Shift to instantly shatter the Lava Dragon's Lava Shield.
The Lava Dragon used the reactive force from the Lava Shield's explosion to instantly distance itself from the human, then spread its fleshy wings and flew away at top speed.
After the shockwave from the explosion dissipated, Ye Lan saw that the Lava Dragon was already over a hundred meters away, and his brow furrowed slightly.
He immediately channeled all his spirit power, madly propelling himself with his Water Flame. Ye Lan shot forward like a fighter jet, charging in a straight line toward the Lava Dragon at incredible speed.
A dozen seconds later, Ye Lan finally landed on the Lava Dragon's back.
Just as Ye Lan was about to use Crimson Meteor to strike the Lava Dragon's core, the creature initiated a self-immolation. Its draconic body began to burn!
Ye Lan had no choice but to leap off the Lava Dragon, distancing himself from the self-combusting beast.
Once the Lava Dragon's self-immolation began, it could not be stopped. But it wouldn't have resorted to this without a reason.
A few dozen seconds later, the Lava Dragon's body had gradually turned to red ash, leaving only a faint, glowing Lava Core behind!
Seeing that the Lava Dragon had burned itself down to a single core, Ye Lan immediately used Flash to rush toward it at full speed.
Just as his Crimson Meteor Shower was about to strike the Lava Core, it transformed into a thin, deep-red line and teleported behind Ye Lan.
Ye Lan turned to look at the ground where the Lava Core had reappeared.
There on the ground, the previously shattered ice-blue core had already regenerated into a Frost Wolf with antlers.
Ye Lan felt his scalp tingle. He never expected the Eris Symbiote's cores to recover so quickly!
Before the battle, he knew some information about the Eris Symbiote. He knew it had two cores, and if one was extinguished, as long as the other existed, the extinguished one would be reborn.
This meant Ye Lan had to destroy both the ice-blue core and the lava core in a short period.
But what Ye Lan hadn't anticipated was that the Eris Symbiote's cores would explode upon being destroyed.
This had directly prevented him from consecutively destroying the other core.
Another thing Ye Lan hadn't foreseen was the regeneration speed. He had originally assumed the Eris Symbiote's core would take at least a few days to regenerate.
He never imagined the core's regeneration time was only a matter of minutes!
"What kind of monstrous ability is this!" Ye Lan complained.
As the recently self-immolated Lava Core made contact with the Frost Wolf, the ice-blue core instantly began transferring energy to it.
In just a moment, the Lava Dragon's body rapidly reformed, returning to its original state.
After recovering its draconic form, the Lava Dragon immediately flew towards a distant magma crevice.
Seeing the Lava Dragon attempting to escape, Ye Lan used Flash to fly after it again. This time, he was determined to crush this Lava Dragon first!
Although the Frost Wolf on the ground wanted to stop Ye Lan, it couldn't fly and was completely helpless.
After symbolically firing a few icicles, the Frost Wolf found it was completely unable to hit the high-speed, flying Ye Lan.
Awooo!
After the Frost Wolf let out a howl, the Lava Dragon's eyes turned an even deeper shade of red, and its speed increased once more!
Ye Lan, who had originally been able to catch up to the Lava Dragon, could now only watch helplessly as it approached the magma crevice.
The Lava Dragon took a deep breath of the magma, and the molten core on its chest began to glow brighter.
Watching the Lava Core's energy being rapidly replenished, Ye Lan converted his Blue Silver Grass into the Ultimate Light.
"Sun Furnace!"
An intense white light exploded from Ye Lan's chest!
Boom!
After the white light faded, the Lava Dragon was still continuously absorbing magma.
Blocking the attack in front of it was the Frost Wolf, which had been hundreds of meters away just moments before!
The Frost Wolf was now clad in thick Ice Wolf Battle Armor. It was clear that the Frost Wolf had used the same teleportation ability the Lava Dragon had used earlier to instantly appear in front of it.
Ye Lan instantly understood: the ice-blue core and the molten core could teleport to each other.
What a troublesome ability!
Just as Ye Lan decided to summon the Blue Silver Priests once more, the Lava Dragon, having finished absorbing the magma, crashed into the Frost Wolf. The moment ice and fire collided, a dense cloud of white steam exploded outwards.
After the thick fog dissipated, the Lava Dragon and the Frost Wolf had once again merged into one.
The form of the Eris Symbiote had now changed. The original upright, armored bear-like body was gone, replaced by the massive body of a Frost Wolf.
On the wolf's back were the huge, red, fleshy wings of the Lava Dragon, whose head now grew from the wolf's chest.
A cold, resentful light swirled in the Frost Wolf's ice-blue eyes. It had previously been toying with the human, but it never expected to be instantly killed by him!
The intense consciousness fluctuations from the resentful Frost Wolf were sensed by the Lava Dragon, which let out a draconic roar.
ROAR!
The Eris Symbiote flapped its fleshy wings frantically, closing the distance to Ye Lan in just a few moments.
Ye Lan immediately summoned countless strands of Blue Silver Grass from his body, sending them to surround the Eris Symbiote.
With a sharp spin and a sudden ascent, the Eris Symbiote broke through the Blue Silver Grass encirclement and charged toward Ye Lan once more.
Ye Lan was a bit confused about what the Eris Symbiote was trying to do, but whatever the enemy wanted, he was determined to thwart it.
He immediately flew off into the distance!
But the moment Ye Lan activated his Water Flame, the Eris Symbiote unleashed an endless wave of cold.
Ye Lan felt his Water Flame falter, his speed dropping by fifty percent!
This is bad!
The Eris Symbiote rushed toward Ye Lan at extreme speed. In the instant it was about to collide with him, the Lava Dragon used Lava Burst, layering it with the Frost Wolf's Frozen Barrier. The collision of lava and ice crystals instantly produced a massive amount of high-temperature steam mixed with shards of ice and fire.
Watching the countless steam and ice-fire shards in slow motion with his Golden Pupils, Ye Lan's scalp went numb.
Had this Eris Symbiote gone mad?
Ye Lan immediately converted all of the Touch of the Ancient Beast into his Perfect Water Shield. Having lost his Water Flame, he began to plummet headfirst towards the ground.
Ye Lan knew his Water Flame was countered by the Frost Wolf's head. He immediately used Echoing Shift, pushing off the air and using the reactive force to narrowly dodge the Eris Symbiote's suicidal ramming attack.
Then, spirit power exploded from the soles of his feet again and again. Ye Lan fell like an ice-blue meteor, plummeting straight to the ground.
The moment he landed, Ye Lan immediately converted the Perfect Water Shield back into Water Flame, firing it at the ground to break his fall.
After landing smoothly, Ye Lan felt much more secure.
Looking up at the still-exploding Eris Symbiote in the sky, Ye Lan was somewhat bewildered.
Wasn't it afraid of getting injured by its own explosion?
A moment later, Ye Lan noticed that the white mist in the air was dissipating.
Furthermore, countless ice and fire fragments, along with the water vapor, were being rapidly absorbed by the Eris Symbiote's dual cores.
The previously dimmed ice-blue and molten cores lit up once more!
!
ROAR!
The Eris Symbiote's wolf and dragon heads once again gathered intense ice and fire energy in their mouths. They simultaneously fired a Scorching Lava Wave and an Extreme Cold Icicle!
Ye Lan transformed into a flash of light and vanished from his spot.
The place where Ye Lan had been standing was instantly annihilated by the molten and frost energy beams, which were several meters in diameter.
The Eris Symbiote, finding that Ye Lan had disappeared again, became somewhat frantic and enraged.
This human was better at hiding than a rat!
It immediately redirected its ice and fire energy beams towards the blond-haired human's companions—a tiger, a bear, and a group of humans.
Ye Lan looked up at the Eris Symbiote's attack and frowned.
Since you don't want to play with me anymore, then let's end this!
"Golden Gaze!"
The Eris Symbiote's spirit felt as if it had been struck by a hammer, and it shuddered violently from the impact of the Golden Gaze.
Although its vitality was astonishing, its spiritual strength was one of its few weaknesses.
Struck by the Golden Gaze, the Eris Symbiote began to fall rapidly from the sky.
On the ground, Ye Lan muttered:
"Touch of the Ancient Beast!"
"Flash!"
"Complete Blood Armor!"
"Echoing Shift!"
"Meteor!"
The Touch of the Ancient Beast on Ye Lan's back began to bend and coil, storing up an immense amount of power!
Then, with all his abilities activated, Ye Lan transformed into a blood-gold rocket and shot towards the falling Eris Symbiote.
The moment the blood-gold rocket collided with the Eris Symbiote, the eight tendrils of the Touch of the Ancient Beast instantly released all their coiled tension.
Crack!
Crack!
The Eris Symbiote's dual ice and fire cores, along with its massive body, were instantly pierced by the Touch of the Ancient Beast.
The eight tendrils of the Touch of the Ancient Beast then pulled outwards with immense force. The gigantic Eris Symbiote was instantly torn into eight pieces of mangled flesh!
Beneath the shredded meat, countless streams of blue and red blood rained down, bathing the blond-haired human's entire body!
Floating gently amidst the ice and fire blood, a purple-black spirit ring slowly emerged.
