Ultimate Power Dragonification Against the Ninety-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Thousand Jun Ant Emperor

With the speed of the Two Great Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts,

even after slowing down for the three children's sake, it did not take them long to reach their destination.

It was a relatively dry area on the shaded side of a valley.

From afar, they could see a massive Ant Nest resembling a small mountain, built from a mixture of dirt, sand, broken trees, and even the bones of certain large Soul Beasts.

The Ant Nest's surface was covered in densely packed holes, radiating a stifling aura that felt heavy with power.

Simply approaching it was enough to sense the faint, vicious pressure permeating the air.

"This is the place."

The Sky Azure Bull Python stopped in an open area some distance from the Ant Nest.

It slowly lowered its head, allowing Lin Qing and the children to dismount.

It brought the three little girls behind a huge boulder that was relatively safe and offered a clear view.

Then, light gathered in its enormous azure eyes. A gentle yet resilient stream of Sky Blue energy flowed out, swiftly forming a semicircular Azure Energy Shield around the three children.

The shield shimmered with flowing light and radiated a steady defensive aura.

"Stay inside the barrier. Do not come out," the Sky Azure Bull Python instructed.

"Uncle Da Ming, Uncle Er Ming, go! Dad, go!" Lin Wu'er jumped about inside the shield as she shouted.

"Go! Beat up the big ants!" Lin Rourou shouted as well.

Lin Qingzhu nodded hard, her little hands clenched tightly.

Lin Qing smiled at them and gave them a reassuring gesture. Then he turned toward the massive Ant Nest, his gaze sharpening.

The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, had long since been unable to hold himself back.

He stepped forward, drew in a deep breath, and puffed out his chest.

"Roar—!!!"

A terrifyingly violent roar, powerful enough to shatter mountain rocks, blasted toward the Ant Nest like thunder exploding!

This was not merely a show of force. It was the most direct challenge and declaration of war!

"Rumble..."

Dirt rained down from the surface of the massive Ant Nest.

"Screech!!!"

Three powerful, furious screeches filled with a metallic edge rang out from deep within the Ant Nest almost simultaneously!

Immediately afterward, several of the largest holes on the front of the Ant Nest violently exploded open.

Three gigantic ants, each comparable in size to a small house, charged out fiercely. Their bodies were Dark Gold, while their shells gleamed with cold metallic light!

Each of them was more than several meters in Body Length.

Their thick, pillar-like limbs dug deeply into the ground, and their vicious mandibles clicked open and shut with horrifying crack-crack sounds.

The giant ants' cold Compound Eyes locked onto the Intruders before them—the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Every one of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Three Brothers radiated the aura of a peak Ninety Thousand Years Soul Beast.

Sensing that the two Forest Overlords had arrived together with hostile intent,

the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors immediately entered their highest state of alert.

Their bodies lowered slightly as immense power surged beneath their shells, producing a low hum.

They did not attack at once.

Yet the pressure of their pent-up momentum compressed and shook the very air around them.

"They're coming."

The Sky Azure Bull Python's deep voice rang out.

Almost the instant its words fell,

"Roar—!"

the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, let out a furious roar brimming with Fighting Spirit. His massive body became a black cannonball fired from its barrel, charging straight at the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor on the far left with the momentum to crush everything in his path.

His fighting style was simple and brutal—every blow landed with savage force.

The Sky Azure Bull Python was more composed.

Yet once its enormous Python Body began to move, it was astonishingly fast. From afar, it looked like an azure mountain shifting sideways as it wrapped toward the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor in the middle with vast water-element energy fluctuations.

Their strategy was clear.

Using their absolute strength and bloodline suppression, they would each eliminate one target in the shortest possible time.

As for the last Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, its Compound Eyes turned, and it immediately tried to rush over to support its brothers.

But a golden figure blocked its path!

Lin Qing moved!

"Golden Dragon, possess me!"

"Roar—!"

A low, majestic Dragon's Roar rose from within him.

Brilliant golden light erupted instantly, enveloping his entire body.

His pupils transformed into majestic Vertical pupils, Dragon Eyes that shone like molten gold.

At both sides of his forehead, a pair of small yet sharp Golden Dragon Horns burst through his skin.

At the base of his spine, a Dragon Tail covered in fine golden scales unfurled with a whoosh. As it swayed, the air gave off a shriek as though it were being sliced apart.

Faint patterns of golden Dragon Scale emerged beneath the skin all over his body, and his aura instantly became overwhelmingly domineering.

But it was not over yet!

"Dragonification!"

Lin Qing activated the Dragon Transformation Secret Art.

The muscles in his Right Arm suddenly bulged and transformed.

Rip!

The sleeve over his right arm burst apart and tore open. His entire arm swelled and changed shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His skin was completely covered in thicker, sharply contoured golden Dragon Scale.

His five fingers turned into vicious, powerful Golden Dragon Claws, their tips flashing with cold light as though they could effortlessly tear through the hardest metal.

A terrifying force, pure to the extreme and powerful enough to shake mountains, surged and roared within his Dragonified right arm.

So this was what it felt like when Ultimate Power worked with Dragonification?

The surging power in his right arm, as though it could explode at any moment, made Lin Qing feel utterly exhilarated.

Without the support of Soul Rings, the Martial Soul's essence and the secret art alone gave him the confidence that he could punch through a mountain wall.

The Thousand Jun Ant Emperor opposite him would not give him time to savor the feeling.

Seeing that this tiny human actually dared to stop it alone, it let out a furious screech.

"Screech!"

Its thick forelimbs rose high, then smashed down at Lin Qing with the force of a thousand jun.

It was incredibly fast, and its power was even more terrifying. The air along its path was compressed into booming explosions.

"Good!"

Golden Glow blazed in Lin Qing's eyes.

He neither dodged nor retreated.

His Dragonified right arm clenched into a fist as dazzling golden light gathered around it, and he threw an upward punch!

"Boom—!!!"

The golden fist collided head-on with the Dark Gold ant limb!

The most direct clash of pure strength erupted.

An incomparably muffled explosion suddenly rang out.

A visible ring-shaped shockwave violently spread from the point of impact, stripping away a layer of earth from the ground within dozens of meters.

Dust shot into the sky.

With a crack, the ground beneath Lin Qing's feet split as spiderweb-like fissures spread wildly.

His body sank half a foot into the ground.

Yet he remained as motionless as a nail driven into the earth!

The Thousand Jun Ant Emperor's forelimb was knocked high into the air by that punch. Its massive body actually retreated half a step, and a trace of stunned disbelief flashed through its intelligent Compound Eyes.

How could this tiny human possess such terrifying strength?

Lin Qing was equally shaken.

He had blocked it!

And they were evenly matched!

Although the recoil had left his right arm somewhat numb, and that strike had consumed a considerable amount of Soul Power,

the sensation of confronting a Ninety Thousand Years Soul Beast head-on without falling behind was simply incredible!

Back then, even with a full set of Soul Rings, he could not defeat a Ninety Thousand Years Soul Beast.

As expected, Ultimate Power is unbeatable!

He could not help cheering inwardly.

The battle also entered its most intense stage in an instant!

Lin Qing knew that without Soul Rings, his Soul Power was limited and he could not fight for long.

He had to take the initiative and keep his opponent firmly occupied.

He let out a long howl. The Dragon Tail behind him whipped sharply, and his body shot forward like a golden arrow.

His Dragon Claws tore through the air, and streaks of golden afterimages launched a relentless storm of attacks at the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor's relatively weaker points—the joints around its body and the seams between its shell segments.

"Screech! Screech! Screech!"

The Thousand Jun Ant Emperor screeched repeatedly in shock and fury.

Its six limbs danced wildly.

Its mandibles snapped open and shut.

Its strength was immense, and its speed was not slow either.

Every attack carried tremendous force, forcing Lin Qing to either block head-on or cleverly redirect the power time and again.

For a time, the sounds of metal and stone clashing rang out without end.

Golden light and Dark Gold light collided continuously.
