Chapter 603: Chapter 249: Scorched Earth Spreads, Incinerating All Things
He completely ignored the attacks, his figure tracing an impossible trajectory through the air. In an instant, he was right in front of the ice-attribute serpent head!
The fist, covered in blue-black dragon scales, descended with the terrifying power to shatter mountains!
BOOM!!!
An incredibly deep boom!
Beneath that fist, the ice-attribute serpent head’s seemingly indestructible skull burst apart like a watermelon struck head-on by a battering ram!
Countless shards of bone and ice flew in all directions!
But there was not the slightest hint of joy on Lin Ye’s face.
Because the moment he shattered that head, the combined attack from the other three was already upon him!
He had no time to pull away!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Molten lava, Wind Blades, and a toxic mist—three completely different forms of destructive energy—slammed squarely into Lin Ye!
Even with his current Defense Power, he couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. His massive body was sent flying, large patches of dragon scales peeling back as golden dragon blood instantly stained half his body red.
What made his heart sink even further was that in the few short seconds he was sent flying, the ice-attribute serpent head he had just obliterated began to squirm with new flesh at the stump of its neck. In the blink of an eye, it had completely regrown, good as new!
The tide of battle had turned in an instant!
"Hahaha! It’s useless!" the Flaming Serpent Head cackled madly. "Before the blood of the Orochi, all your attacks are futile! We’ll grind you down bit by bit, and then... we’ll devour your flesh!"
The battle that followed proved its mad boast to be true.
Lin Ye was locked in the toughest battle of his life.
Every charge he made was intercepted by the combined attacks of the four serpent heads.
Every attack, even those that grievously wounded one head, was met with covering fire from the other three, allowing the injured one to recover almost instantly.
All the while, he had to constantly endure the relentless elemental breath attacks and the encroaching arctic domain.
In just a few short minutes, his body was covered in wounds. Blood dripped continuously, looking particularly stark against the pale white ice.
In the livestream chat, the atmosphere was suffocating.
This time, even Dong Dongchen was silent.
He couldn’t see a path to victory.
Pitting a young man who had yet to break through to the Divine Realm against an opponent at Divine Realm Perfection—one who had fully unleashed his bloodline’s power and transformed into an unkillable monster...
This was no longer a matter of fighting above his rank; this was challenging a myth.
The stream chat was no longer filled with excitement and anger, but with one sigh after another.
"Sigh... It’s hopeless. How is he supposed to win this?"
"This Japanese guy has mutilated himself to this degree. He’s not even human anymore. Even if Lin Ye wins now, it’s not an honorable victory. Just let him have it."
"Exactly. This strategy of letting his spirit go berserk and turning into a monster is something he’d only dare do in a virtual battle. It’s basically cheating! You think he’d dare pull this in a real fight? He’d probably just drop dead the second it’s over!"
"That’s so cheap... Now that you mention it, I feel like this Japanese guy is doing it on purpose. He knew he couldn’t win, so he’s using this kamikaze tactic to force a win against us in front of the whole world."
Dong Dongchen’s eyes narrowed as he read that comment. He slapped his thigh in sudden realization and came to a conclusion.
"He *is* doing it on purpose!"
Just when everyone thought Lin Ye’s defeat was certain, that the battle would end in the most unsatisfying way possible...
Suddenly.
In the center of the battlefield, amidst the biting wind and toxic fog, a blindingly brilliant golden flame erupted from Lin Ye’s body without warning!
The flame seemed to originate from the core of the sun itself—domineering, scorching, and imbued with the will to incinerate all creation!
The next moment, the fire erupted outward with an impossible, overwhelming force!
[Scorched Earth Domain]!
The golden sea of fire, like an expanding sun, instantly swept across the battlefield for five hundred meters in every direction!
Wherever the sea of fire passed, the indestructible pale ice didn’t even have a chance to melt before it was instantly vaporized!
The sky-blotting toxic black mist ignited the instant it touched the golden flames, turning to nothing with a series of hissing pops!
Within this domain of absolute heat, the raging gales couldn’t stir so much as a single ripple!
In a single second, the entire classical courtyard battlefield was transformed into a scorched wasteland. Golden magma flowed across the ground, and the air shimmered with a terrifying heat that distorted light itself.
Originally, Lin Ye hadn’t planned on using any skills other than [Dragon Descendant Incarnation].
He had wanted to simply fight with this new body, to grow accustomed to it.
But he had to admit, this monster was proving to be quite a handful.
Especially its near-immortal regenerative ability.
For that reason, Lin Ye had unleashed his domain.
What he needed were the domain’s innate [Grievous Wounds] and [Burn] effects to completely shut down his opponent’s ability to regenerate.
The moment the golden [Scorched Earth Domain] completely enveloped the massive serpent’s body...
For the first time, utter shock and terror appeared simultaneously in the eyes of the four frenzied, tyrannical serpent heads.
"Full-power attack! Kill him!" the poison-attribute head shrieked in terror.
The next moment, four elemental breaths shot forth once more.
However, within this absolute domain that belonged to Lin Ye, the power they were so proud of seemed utterly laughable.
The ice-attribute breath turned into a puff of white steam the instant it left the serpent’s mouth.
