Chapter 216: Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon

Edited by Aelryinth

What exactly was the rainbow crystal? Naturally it was impossible for Zhang Che to know.

However, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon had evolved to legend-quality. This was something extremely worthy of celebration. Thus, he immediately Summoned him out from his spiritual sea.

A five-colored ray of light shot out between Zhang Che’s brow, and instantly took form.

“My…” However, when he saw this totally unfamiliar beast before him, Zhang Che was so shaken that he couldn’t say a word!

Was this still a flood dragon? It was clearly a full dragon!

A water pail-thick huge dragon was floating in the air before his eyes, his body over twenty meters long, his entire body deep blue in color…

Alright, it didn’t seem qualified to be called a huge dragon. It was a small dragon at best.

In any case, a small dragon was also a dragon. “Horns like a deer, head like a bull, eyes like a prawn, mouth like a donkey, stomach like a snake, scales like a fish, legs like a phoenix, beard like a man, ears like an elephant.” If all these features were combined, it was exactly like a Four-Clawed Dragon’s appearance as described from the legends.

Not only that, whether it was due to him devouring the Darkice Horned Python or not, but the current Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s entire body was deep blue and translucent, unlike any ordinary flesh body. It was like a sculpture crafted from an ice blue crystal.

-Is this really my Hanming?- There were thousands of questions in Zhang Che’s mind waiting to be voiced out. In the end, his gaze swept over the creature, and he realized this fellow was no longer the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon.

“Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon? Seriously? After this change, my Hanming is nothing like before!” Zhang Che was at a loss. He was stunned again after he finished looking through the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s attributes.

There was nothing to say about it, except that he was strong!

This fellow’s potential had also changed into a question mark, leaving Zhang Che a little uncertain whether A-Rank potential was better, or worse?

“Right, this guy’s characteristics said that he can devour the auras of all extreme coldness in the world. Does that mean that he’s broken through the shackles of his potential and can keep getting stronger?” Other than that, Zhang Che truly couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

-If that was truly the case, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s future achievements will be simply unimaginable! The legendary divine-quality exotic beasts were probably something like this, right?

-No, he’ll definitely be stronger than divine-quality exotic beasts!-

“Tsk, tsk. Look at you, you’re totally different now, and even your name has changed. I’m still a little not used to this. Should I continue calling you Hanming, or call you Xuanming now?”

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon nodded his head profusely, indicating that he could call him whatever he liked.

“Forget it. I’ll just call you Hanming. The words Xuanming sounds like it’s from a play.”

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon looked confused. -Is there something wrong with the words Xuanming?-

Zhang Che naturally wouldn’t explain that those two words touched upon a certain novel’s two eccentric old men, one lecherous and the other an alcoholic.¹ He only kept looking at the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s attributes, feeling even more impressed the more he looked at them.

Now, no matter whether it was his attack or defense, this guy was definitely a top-tier existence among legend-quality beasts. He might not necessarily be invincible against other same-tier beasts, but other than some exotic beasts whose attributes were even more prodigious, ordinary legend-quality beasts shouldn’t be able to pose much of a threat to him, especially with this fellow’s innate attribute, undying body of abyssal cold.

Just one look at it and you could tell that it was really strong. Other than innate fire elemental attacks or whatever it was, all other attacks were unable to damage its foundation. As long as a wisp of his abyssal cold aura still remained, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wouldn’t truly die.

-However, what does innate fire elemental attack mean, exactly?

-I wonder if the Scarlet Flame Drake’s skill counts.- Thinking of this, Zhang Che’s eyes immediately lit up.

He’d know whether it counted after doing some tests. He only needed to avoid hitting the vitals and it’d be fine. Even if the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon would be hurt by the Scarlet Flame Drake’s skill, Zhang Che could immediately recall him back into his spiritual sea to heal him up. There wouldn’t be any loss.

After learning of Zhang Che’s intentions, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon shivered uncontrollably. -I’m already a master of cold. Why do I still feel a shiver down my back?-

Alas, he couldn’t disobey his master daddy’s orders. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon could only remain still in the air obediently, allowing the Scarlet Flame Drake to breathe some fire onto his tail.

The scarlet flames fell upon his body. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon let out a loud, pained cry, his body swinging back and forth in the air.

Afterwards, Zhang Che saw a large cloud of deep blue mist evaporating from the tail of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s translucent blue body. Despite him madly transferring the aura of abyssal cold from the other areas of his body to replenish it, it seemed like he couldn’t recover fast enough.

Zhang Che raised his head and let out an audible sigh. He could only recall him back into his spiritual sea, before sighing inwardly, -Didn’t water restraint fire? Why is it the other way around now?

-Ugh, not right. It seems like after consuming the Darkice Horned Python and being altered by the rainbow crystal, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon is no longer a pure water-attributed beast. He is now mainly composed of darkfiend aura.

-As such, the Scarlet Flame Drake’s innate fire elemental attack was able to hurt him, and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon did not have an advantage over it.-

After all, the Scarlet Flame Drake’s level and quality were both inferior to the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon now. Although its skill could restrain him, it could only cause some minor damage. After recuperating in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea for less than a minute, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was back at tip-top condition.

Zhang Che nodded in satisfaction. -Then… let’s try some other form of attacks and see if it can cause any notable damage.-

Facing the Purple Crystal Tortoise, whose mouth was aimed in his direction, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon no longer displayed any signs of worry.

Dang! A crisp sound rang out. The bone spike spat out by the Purple Crystal Tortoise directly punched a bowl-sized hole through the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s body.

However, the abyssal cold aura in the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s body quickly circulated in the next moment. The extremely serious wound was repaired in an instant, leaving not a single scar behind.

“My Hanming is so strong now!” Zhang Che’s eyes shone brightly. He decided to have the Purple Crystal Tortoise activate its skill, shooting all the remaining bone spikes at the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, blowing his body into several sections. Blue abyssal cold aura rapidly leaked out from every wound.

However, such sure-death injuries didn’t amount to anything for the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. His sapphire-like eyes emitted a deep blue glint of light. The leaking abyssal cold aura from his dismembered body sections gathered together, and in only a few breaths’ time, he was as good as new.

Zhang Che couldn’t help but sigh in praise. “It really is an undying body of abyssal cold! Other than innate fire elemental attacks, it’s almost impossible to kill the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon!”

The reason why he used the word “almost” was because Zhang Che sensed that although the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had quickly regained his body, he had still exhausted much of his vital energy.

This also meant that the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon wasn’t truly unaffected by those ordinary attacks. It was just that he used his vital energy as the price to negate the damage he suffered.

Even so, it was definitely incredible.

How devastating was the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s attacks after gaining the bone spikes?

Most legend-quality exotic beasts would be gravely injured after taking on that attack, and yet the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon could endure such attacks up to a hundred times by exhausting his vital energy!

With such an astonishing ability, it didn’t seem inappropriate to claim that he had an undying body.
