Chapter 239: Metal Armadillo - 239
In a normal situation, even with its leg being cut off, the eagle should have still been able to dodge pangu's attacks.
However, Fiend Qi was much more dangerous than it looks on the surface.
As if it was poison, the Fiend Qi had begun to deteriorate the rest of the eagle's leg.
Alongside the constant deterioration, the eagle was in pain. Those were the two main effects of fiend Qi.
Another was that it made someone's mind unstable, but that required too much Qi and Pangu was only at the 5th level of the foundation establishment realm.
While, due to his low realm, the deterioration and pain the eagle was feeling was much lower, the eagle was also only at the 5th level of the foundation establishment realm.
As the eagle struggled to stay in the air, Pangu readied another attack and slashed at the eagle with Fiend Qi.
This time, only a portion of the bird's feathers were cut off.
The next slash cut off a chunk of meat on the eagle's body, while the next slash managed to cut off 30% of one of its wings.
Now, the eagle was so unbalanced that it was unable to stay up in the air. As it descended, Pangu readied one more attack at the eagle.
Once the Fiend Qi was fully coating his axe, he waited until the eagle got closer.
Just as it was about to reach the perfect spot, Lightning Qi covered the eagle's body. In an instant, it shot towards Pangu consumed by rage and pain.
Before, it had been unable to properly dodge or attack due to the Fiend Qi causing pain, but as it realized it was about to die, it decided to take down the cause of its pain with it.
The eagle was five times faster than it had been before due to using all of its Qi in its final charge, and Pangu was barely able to react in time.
Luckily, he was able to react. Just as the eagle arrived in front of him, Pangu slashed the axe down. Not only did it physically touch the eagle, but the Fiend Qi also shot into it, extending the attack.
The eagle was split in half as its two parts went around Pangu and hit the wall, splattering.
Pangu stood in the same place, breathing heavily. His last attack had used around 30% of his Qi and he needed to recover.
His stamina was also low.
Pangu stood as he saw the door crack, but he did not enter it. It seemed he would not have to rush to the next opponent.
Pangu sat on the ground and meditated as he recovered his Qi and stamina.
In 20 minutes, he was fully recovered and stood up again.
As he walked through the door and it closed behind him, he saw that the room was the same size as the previous one.
In front of him, an armadillo covered in metal stood. It was 25 feet tall, the same height as Pangu. It was also much wider than Pangu.
As he heard the chime sound, the armadillo looked at Pangu for a moment before rolling up into a ball.
It then started rolling on the ground towards him at incredible speeds. Pangu had to literally dive out of the way to avoid it.
The armadillo hit the wall, but it quickly turned around and rolled towards Pangu again.
This time, Pangu jumped in the air and let the armadillo roll under him.
Just as it went under him, however, the armadillo stopped and exited its ball form. It jumped up towards the mid-air Pangu and bit at him.
In a panic, Pangu put his axe below him and stepped on it as he fell.
The armadillo's teeth met with the axe, but they were only slightly cut. From the force of the armadillo's attack, Pangu went flying to the side.
In an instant, the armadillo was rolled back into a ball, charging at Pangu, and Pangu was now multiple feet away from his axe.
Pangu quickly assessed the situation and decided that there was no other way but a direct confrontation due to the speed the armadillo was coming towards him at.
Luckily, the fiendcelestials were born with naturally strong bodies.
After covering his fist with Fiend Qi, Pangu punched at the metal ball rolling towards him.
The fist and the ball collided, causing Pangu's fist to break, but the armadillo was not unscathed.
Pangu's body along with the fiend Qi had hit it with quite a force, causing it to stop in its tracks and crack in multiple places. The crack also allowed the Fiend Qi to enter the armadillo's body
In an instant, the armadillo started rolling around in pain. Taking the opportunity while it lasted, Pangu ran over to his axe and grabbed it with his left hand since his right was broken.
He ran up to the armadillo and covered his axe with Fiend Qi before slashing at it multiple times.
He knew that Fiend Qi was not unstoppable and it was likely the armadillo would get rid of its effects soon.
Pangu was able to slash for 10 entire seconds before the armadillo got rid of the pain. Unfortunately for it, Pangu had completely gotten through its shell and cut its insides.
As its insides were cut, the armadillo stopped moving. Just as it did, Pangu jumped into the air and backwards.
Below him, three spikes of metal poked out of where he had stood. Those three spikes were the revenge attacks of the armadillo before it died, and they contained all of its Qi.
As the spikes poked out, the armadillo died.
Pangu sat down and began to recover as the next door cracked.
Pangu didn't plan on entering it any time soon. He decided to fully heal himself before then.
Just as he was calculating how long that would take, a pill fell from the ceiling and landed next to him.
Pangu picked it up and observed it. He also looked at the ceiling, but there was no indication of where it came from.
Pangu shrugged and consumed the pill. He was able to tell that it was a healing pill.
Chapter 240: Dragon - 240
Due to the healing pill, it didn't take long before Pangu was fully healed.
It did take a little bit longer to recover his Qi, but that didn't take too long either.
In around thirty minutes, Pangu was walking through the door to the next room. For the first time since he started the trials, the first thing he looked at was not the room.
In front of Pangu was a giant beast. It was 200 feet tall and much wider than that. It had two wings, a tail, scales, and an arrogant expression.
Pangu had only seen such a beast a few times in his life, but he was sure that it was a dragon.
Some dragons fell under the category of a beast. Examples were earth dragons, flood dragons, and weaker versions of superior dragons.
Most dragons, however, could only be classified as supreme beasts. He had never seen a dragon supreme beast, but it was impossible for the thing in front of him to be a normal beast.
At first, Pangu was terrified, but he soon realized that the dragon was still in the 5th level of the foundation establishment realm.
Usually, dragons were born in a realm higher than that, but it seemed that the trial's creator was able to find one that was not.
After paying further attention, Pangu felt that the trial was not as hopeless as he realized. While the dragon was undoubtedly a powerful opponent, it was only in the 5th level of the foundation establishment realm.
There was no way it could instantly crush Pangu without him being able to put up a fight.
Perhaps a normal fiendcelestial would feel hopeless and would be crushed in an instant, but Pangu was the farthest thing from a normal fiendcelestial that could still be considered a fiendcelestial.
After gaining some courage, Pangu looked around the room. The ceilings were now 10 miles high and the walls were 10 miles apart.
Pangu looked back at the dragon and analyzed it while he still could.
Although a height of 200 feet was insane for a normal humanoid creature, fiendcelestials were not normal humanoid creatures.
Pangu was 25 feet tall. That meant the dragon was less than ten times his height.
It was as if a 6 foot human stood in front of a four or five story building. While intimidating, one wouldn't really be impressed by a 4 or 5 story building.
All of Pangu's thoughts spanned over 5 seconds before a chime was heard.
The dragon opened its eyes, but it didn't move. Its intelligent eyes were staring at Pangu with disdain.
Casually, the dragon slightly opened the front of its mouth.
A tiny flame exited, which quickly turned into a large fireball shooting at Pangu. The fireball was as big as Pangu was tall.
Annoyed by the dragon's arrogance, Pangu covered his entire axe with Fiend Qi and jumped in the air.
As he rose up, he met the fireball and cleanly sliced it in half. Luckily, it didn't stop his ascent.
In just a second, Pangu was staring the Dragon in the eyes at an equal level.
While the dragon looked at him in surprise, Pangu slashed his axe sideways and the Fiend Qi covering his entire axe left it, shooting towards the dragon in a crescent.
The dragon's disdain disappeared, replaced by focus. The dragon fully opened its mouth and spewed a wave of fire at the Fiend Qi
While it was doing that, Pangu fell towards the dragon's body. Quickly, he was near one of its legs.
Putting more Fiend Qi on his axe, this time to enhance its strength instead of releasing a ranged attack, Pangu dug his axe in the dragon's leg and fell down, cutting it open.
The dragon that had just shot a breath of fire at Pangu's attack felt the pain and looked down. The focus was now replaced with rage.
Unfortunately, the dragon was in a difficult position. As a being in the foundation establishment realm, its natural dragon powers were severely limited. It had lost access to many things that would likely end the battle quickly.
Instead of instantly striking back at the bug below it, the dragon bent its legs and jumped, soaring into the sky quickly.
Due to the unexpected turn of events, Pangu was knocked backwards by the wind. The dragon's starting position had been fairly close to the entrance, but it now backed up.
As it remained in the air, it was now 8 miles away from Pangu. Pangu was annoyed, but he knew that he did not have the ability to traverse 8 miles before the dragon flew away again.
He would have to let the dragon recover, but he would also do the same. Knowing that playing the long game would only hurt him, Pangu decided that, at the next opportunity, he would put everything into one attack.
He cautiously watched the dragon as he recovered the Qi he had lost earlier.
After ten minutes, the dragon took to the sky again and flew towards Pangu. They were both fully recovered.
As the dragon got closer, Pangu covered his axe with Fiend Qi. Once it was fully covered, he added something else.
It was axe Qi.
An affinity for a weapon Qi was extremely rare, and simply put, Pangu didn't have that.
Luckily, not having an affinity for a weapon Qi was not as bad as not having an affinity for any other Qi.
Even without the affinity, weapon Qi's could be used to an extremely high degree.
Pangu's current axe Qi was no weaker than his Fiend Qi. Although he hadn't had time to train it since the cultivation reset, he still had many useful memories. The power was not great, but combined with Fiend Qi, it may give Pangu the power he needed.
As Pangu readied his attack, the dragon got closer. Due to the limited powers it could use and the fact that its breath would be spread out too evenly, the dragon decided to coat his claws with fire Qi and smash the ant with a single attack.
As the dragon reached Pangu and smashed down its claw, Pangu also slashed out with his axe.
