章 98: Chapter 98: Awakening Failure?
Roar~
Three black fire dragons, each nearly twenty meters long, coiled in the void, roaring and howling. Black flames burned fiercely on their bodies, casting an eerie glow that faintly illuminated the dark shadowed area below. The darkness turned to dimness, fully exposing the massive, winding figure of the king cobra. The temperature in the vicinity surged, quickly dispelling the cold.
Roar~
Two more dragon roars sounded, and two slightly smaller fire dragons, tinged with pale red and gray-white, appeared, hovering around Xian'er. With five dragons in the air, their presence was overwhelmingly terrifying, even distorting the space around them with their intense heat. Five dragon heads bowed together, their gaze fierce and concentrated, fixated on the king cobra below that was already shaking with tension.
"Unleashing three fire dragons combined with the Black Sun Heavenly Flame's power places this technique among the top tier of low-level Earth Tier Dou Techniques!" Wei Yang chuckled lightly. The Nine Dragon Control Fire Technique, of mid-level Earth Tier, when trained to nine levels and paired with the Nine Dragon Thunder Flame, can rival a near-Heavenly Tier Dou Technique. But Wei Yang's use of the Black Sun Heavenly Flame was not weak either. When trained to the highest ninth level, with all nine dragons present, its power would likely stand out even among high-level Earth Tier Dou Techniques!
Glancing at Xian'er's slightly smaller and noticeably weaker two fire dragons, which seemed somewhat imposing only due to Wei Yang's three dragons, Wei Yang smiled, "This is the difference, the power of a Heavenly Flame!" Xian'er gave him a slight annoyed glance, her eyes showing a trace of envy she couldn't hide.
"Let's deal with this beast first," Wei Yang smiled, waving his hand.
Roar~
The three black fire dragons roared, diving down towards the already trembling king cobra below.
Roar~
Xian'er's two fire dragons also dove down thereafter.
Hiss~
The king cobra's eyes burned red, fiercely rising halfway up, opening its mouth to let out an angry hiss. Yellow-brown flames swirled around its body, burning fiercely, and as it opened its mouth, it spewed out surging flames. Simultaneously, a tornado whipped up around its body. The wind fanned the flames! A massive fire tornado formed, meeting the fire dragons head-on.
However, this fire tornado seemed lacking in momentum. Faced with the three black fire dragons, the yellow-brown flames trembled in fear.
Rip~
The fire tornado was quickly torn apart by the black fire dragons. Then, the three black fire dragons roared, charging towards the king cobra. Behind them, the two pale red fire dragons followed.
Boom!
In the expanse filled with raging flames, painful roars and cries echoed.
The hill crumbled, leaving a circular crater in the ground on the battlefield. Lava bubbled and steamed within, emitting heat. Wei Yang stood with arms crossed, his black wings lightly flapping behind him, eyes cold as he looked down.
The massive body of the king cobra lay submerged in the lava, its scales shattered, its body a mess of blood and flesh, with barely any intact spots. Its breath was weak, its eyes lifeless, lying motionless like a dead snake, its heart filled with regret. Once, it had devoured two Heavenly Flames and survived, benefiting immensely; it had risen from an ordinary sand snake to what it was today. But now, it had failed.
Indeed, humans were not to be trifled with. Wei Yang descended slowly, landing on the ground, his eyes locking onto the dull vertical pupils of the king cobra, smiling, "I remember a year ago, you made me quite embarrassed."
The king cobra's eyelids moved, a rebellious spirit flashing through its eyes. Human, go on, do it.
"Brother Yang, it looks like it's seeking death," Xian'er descended with Qing Lin, chuckling lightly.
"Seeking death? Not so easy. I need it to guide us to find the Wind Fury Dragon Flame," Wei Yang said indifferently. Hearing this, the king cobra's pupils shrank sharply, all defiance vanished, replaced by a look of fear.
Seeing this, Wei Yang raised an eyebrow, "What, recalling some unpleasant memories? It seems you do know where the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is, and have encountered it!"
He gestured for Qing Lin to come over.
"Master," Qing Lin approached hurriedly, excitement flickering in her eyes, a hidden green light faintly illuminating from within, looking up at Wei Yang. She was filled with anticipation, knowing she was on the verge of awakening the powerful physique her master had mentioned. Soon, she could grow stronger, help her master.
Wei Yang patted Qing Lin's head gently, speaking softly, "Qing Lin, I need your help now. Do you remember when we first met, I said your eyes were beautiful?"
Blushing, Qing Lin nodded lightly. "Hehe, these eyes are called the Triple Pupiled Jade Serpent Eyes, a very special ocular power. You can use them to communicate with snake-like magical beasts."
Wei Yang pointed at the king cobra, explaining to her, "So, connect with it, form a contract. I need it to lead us to the Wind Fury Dragon Flame... Just focus, channel your Dou Qi into your eyes..."
Holding her shoulders, Wei Yang guided Qing Lin to face the king cobra's ferocious triangular head, softly leading her.
Xian'er watched curiously from the side. The Triple Pupiled Jade Serpent Eyes, even surpassing her own venomous constitution, such a unique physique?
Qing Lin fixed her gaze on the menacing snake head, stepping forward, channeling her Dou Qi into her eyes, filled with determination, "I must succeed, awaken my power, I must help master..."
As Dou Qi flowed into her eyes, entering the Triple Pupiled Jade Serpent Eyes, three jade blue points appeared faintly in her light green pupils, emitting a subtle yet mysterious glow, seeming to emerge without fully materializing.
After a while, Qing Lin's forehead began to sweat, most of her limited Dou Qi nearly depleted, yet still unable to awaken the power of the Triple Pupiled Jade Serpent Eyes. But Qing Lin didn't give up. She continued to glare at the king cobra with all her effort.
Big and small, the king cobra and Qing Lin, stared at each other eye to eye. Then, a hint of disdain flickered in the king cobra's pale golden eyes.
Make a friend, a contract, communicate? With this little weakling? Ridiculous! It glanced at Wei Yang with dissatisfaction. It wasn't like it couldn't understand him. He was strong, defeated it... If he approached and communicated with it personally, it wasn't like it couldn't consider it. But sending a weakling, that wasn't right. Humans, so annoying!
Qing Lin's face reddened, feeling increasingly anxious and embarrassed, almost crying. After another moment, Qing Lin's expression turned gloomy, her voice trembling, "Master, I'm sorry, I... I'm useless..."
Wei Yang frowned slightly, pondering, "Based on the original story, the awakening of Qing Lin's Triple Pupiled Jade Serpent Eyes seemed unrelated to her Dou Qi level... Maybe the awakening requires more stimulation?"
