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.
Chapter 241: The All - 241
Pangu's axe and the dragon claw collided. A cut was made on the dragon's claw, and the cut was extremely deep.
Although he had caused great damage, Pangu did not come out of the collision unscathed.
He was launched back by the dragon's claw and hit the wall behind him at an extremely fast speed.
Many parts of his body ruptured, but Pangu immediately launched off the wall and towards the dragon.
He knew that the dragon was no joke and although he had made a deep cut that had been infected with Fiend Qi, the dragon would be able to attack again quickly.
Just as he had expected, a dragon claw smashed the wall that Pangu had been pushed up against.
The dragon had attacked the wall with its left claw since its right claw was in great pain.
Thanks to Pangus quick movement, he was now below the relatively unguarded dragon's belly.
He instantly slashed up with Fiend Qi and axe Qi as he jumped in the air.
Not only did his axe make direct contact with the dragon, but it also released the Fiend Qi and axe Qi on it as a wave that traveled through the dragon's stomach.
Now, the dragon was severely injured.
In an instant, it decided that its best course of action was to drop on Pangu and crush him with its weight.
Luckily, Pangu had somewhat expected that. He crouched and put the axe above his head so that it would cut anything above it.
As the dragon collided with the ground, Pangu was pushed in its stomach. In just seconds, Pangu released several devastating attacks that turned the dragon's insides into mincemeat.
If the dragon had expected such a thing, it would have had a way to deal with it such as flooding its body with Fire Qi, but it simply wasn't prepared.
In a few moments, the dragon was dead. Pangu had been very lucky. One wrong move would have spelled his loss.
As Pangu saw the next door, he was surprised. He had expected the dragon to be the last beast in the trial due to how powerful it was.
Every new room had a qualitative change in difficulty, but there was a room after the dragon.
That meant that something much stronger than a dragon was behind the next door.
Before walking through that door Pangu had to recover.
Pangu crossed his legs before looking at his axe. It was chipped. Sure enough, the dragon had been powerful.
As another pill fell from the ceiling, Pangu started to meditate.
----------------------------------------
Zhou Fan was watching Pangu take the trial, and as he looked at the next door, he felt some excitement.
The beast behind it was a completely new beast that he had invested some time into creating.
The most important aspect of it was its affinity.
Time.
Even now, Zhou Fn didn't really have the ability to use Time Qi. Luckily, he had just enough strength to move it.
However, that led to the question, why can a foundation establishment beast use time while Zhou Fan couldn't.
That was also connected to the question, why can't Zhou Fan use the power of time.
Simply put, the cosmic dao did not allow the power of time to be used. While Chaos Qi was too powerful for the cosmic dao to sense or restrict, Time Qi was not.
The moment any sort of time Qi was used, it would obliterate everything in that area.
Although Zhou Fan had felt like he could not use the power of time Qi before, that was simply his instincts refusing to allow its usage. Otherwise, Zhou Fan would not exist.
He had comprehended the reason just before he had created cultivation 1.0.
As time passed, Zhou Fan began to dislike the cosmic dao more and more.
At first, it had simply been a mystical existence far away from him.
Later, it began to suppress him and every single thing that could endanger Zhou Fan was related to it.
However, the cosmic dao was also the only reason life existed. In fact, it was very likely the only reason the universe existed.
Zhou Fan would decide on what to do with it once he surpassed it in power.
Now, for why the beast could use time Qi. In a simple way, Zhou Fan had grown strong enough to somewhat avoid the theoretical eyes of the cosmic dao.
By creating a separate space with all of his power, he was able to hide some things from it.
However, those things could not exceed a certain power level.
For example, the river of cultivation could likely be seen by the cosmic dao, but it was still somewhat hidden. It was like looking at a lamp light through heavy fog.
A foundation establishment beast using the power of time, however, was like trying to look at a firefly through heavy fog.
As long as it was below the core formation realm, just about anything could be hidden from the cosmic dao by Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan had managed to design a beast perfect for using time Qi and slightly control some time Qi in order to give it an affinity.
While giving out affinities was not something Zhou Fan could casually do, he had managed to make the existence not have the possibility of gaining any other affinity due to its structure.
Therefore, after a few attempts, the beast was created and put in the fifth level of the foundation establishment realm.
Due to the increase of difficulty, Zhou Fan planned on giving Pangu the same reward whether he won or lost.
Naturally, against the beast that Zhou Fan had named, "The All", Pangu stood little chance.
Looking at the beast, Zhou Fan's face slowly let out a weird smile.
------------------------------------------
As Pangu finally recovered, he stood up and slowly entered the room.
If before, Pangu was still able to observe the room after seeing the dragon, he now had no will to.
In front of him was something that could only be described as an abomination to creation.
It had eight legs, similar to a spider, but its body looked like something mashed together by a child with playdough.
Even that, however, was not the focus point.
Covering every inch of the beast's body were yellow, moving eyes.
