Explosion of the Third Gear of Black Annihilation

Seeing that the withered vines seemed endless, Chen Lang also locked his target onto this lake. From the moment these withered vines appeared, he still had not sensed the aura belonging to a demon.

Yet looking at these withered vines, he already had a guess in his heart!

Presumably, the thing lurking beneath this muddy lake was a plant-type Demon Beast!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Chen Lang directly whipped out several lightning bolts toward the lower depths.

After the few lightning bolts plunged into the lake, they seemed to have been muted, yet at the same time, those withered vines also instantly froze right there.

Chen Lang could still feel the Lightning Element, but he also didn't understand why there was no detonation.

Damn it, let's see how much you can take!

While speaking, the constellations in front of Chen Lang began to flash continuously, and one lightning bolt after another was submerged into this quagmire...

Following ten consecutive High-level spells, he could already sense that the lightning attribute below had reached a limit.

"Thousand Jun Lightning Blast!!!"

"Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy!!!"

"Boom~~~!!!!!"

"..."

The lightning bolts that had originally sunk into the lake and vanished without a trace were now beginning to continuously erupt with powerful destructive force under Chen Lang's guidance and control.

Even the speed of the lightning eruption was exceptionally fast; in just a brief moment, the entire silent lake seemed to have transformed into a huge Lightning Zone!

"Ugh~~~!!!"

It was precisely under this overflowing lightning and the churning of the lake's mud that the place of the island—the location possessing the Elemental Lightning Stone—began to rise up!

The speed at which it rose was fast. It was an ancient tree of unknown age; not only were its branches and leaves lush, but it also possessed over a thousand withered vines.

And when most of its roots detached from the lake, Chen Lang saw even more that at the lush root system connected by these withered vines, there were pieces of fresh human skin.

Those human skins were obviously not from the present, and their quantity was unknown. This was simply like the trophy of a vicious fiend!

"Black Annihilation Lightning Claw!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Lang instantly felt furious within his heart. Electric currents were dense in the lake, and above the lake, a single claw tore straight down!

"Boom!!!"

"Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy..."

As the lightning claw plummeted, the tree bark of this withered-vine demon tree turned into charred-black ashes layer by layer...

Yet who knew how many lives this bastard had harmed; the thickness of this skin even exceeded Chen Lang's imagination!!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"

After enduring Chen Lang's lightning claw, the withered vines pierced toward Chen Lang from all directions like a rain of arrows.

Against this kind of pure physical attack, the Elemental Converter was of no use at all, and the Lightning Emperor Battle Armor possessed zero defensive capability against such attacks.

At this moment, Chen Lang also felt a trace of relief in his heart.

If not for the Starlight Magic Weapon prepared for him by Chen Jin, he would truly have had no defensive means whatsoever when facing the current situation!

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

"..."

The withered vines impacted the light wall formed by the starlight like hail.

Although the impact force of the withered vines was very strong, the defense of this magic weapon was also ridiculously top-notch; against such a dense attack, it didn't even crack a single trace!

Chen Lang's defense window was only a short minute, so at this moment he also went all out.

"Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy..."

The Black Annihilation Domain completely erupted at this moment. As the domain activated, the impact speed of the withered vines also began to slow down due to the lightning paralysis.

The lightning element filling this place spread and dispersed even further toward all the withered vines of this demonic demon tree...

At the same time, the lightning radiance surrounding Chen Lang's body materialized once again, turning orange first, then blue, and immediately after transforming into a bloody crimson color!

That's right, bloody crimson!

Although the blue lightning radiance still had not faded, the crimson color had already become distinct!

The crimson color represented that Chen Lang could already complete the explosion of the third gear of Black Annihilation.

Under a full-out explosion, it could reach eight times amplification.

Although it hadn't yet completely reached the peak explosion at this moment, it was already close to six times.

Coupled with the fact that the Lightning Emperor Battle Armor combined with Black Annihilation already possessed a ten-fold amplification, he was already able to increase the destructive force to sixteen times!

"Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy!!!"

"Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy!!!!"

The electric current on his body surfaced even more frequently at this moment, and that irrepressible aura of destruction erupted completely at this very moment.

"Blood Demon Lightning Axe!"

Chen Lang grabbed into the empty air above with both hands, and the electric currents infected by the red lightning radiance on his body gathered and converged completely into his hands at this moment!

The starlight magic array dissipated, and the red electric current carried a visual sense akin to bursting fireworks, scattering densely in all directions!

"Swish!"

Chen Lang held the lightning axe high and slashed straight down!

"Boom!!!"

"Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy!!!"

When the lightning axe hacked onto the top of this demon-like tree, it once again erupted with a thunderous explosion that shook this patch of heaven and earth.

Under Chen Lang's destructive impact like this, this demon tree also began to experience large-scale splitting!

"Thousand Jun Giant Lightning Blast!"

Seeing that the electric current had expanded to a maximum point, coupled with the instant that the axe-strike just now caused its tree trunk to touch the lake once again, all of the Thunder Power was thoroughly ignited like a fuse!

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

"..."

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

An eerie, crimson lightning radiance enveloped the entire lake and its surroundings, closely followed by a roaring sound of utter destruction!!

Nearly three minutes passed before the eerie light slowly dissipated...

When the light faded, one could see that the vast lake was covered with withered vines, and that demonic demon tree was thoroughly split apart on the surface of the lake.

As for Chen Lang, he was still suspended high in mid-air, with streams of electric current still circulating all around his body.

"Phew~"

Gazing at the completely dead demon tree, Chen Lang could finally breathe a slight sigh of relief.

This was considered the strongest Demon Beast he had encountered so far.

If the strike just now hadn't been able to destroy it, then he would have had to start thinking about running away...

After ending the battle, Chen Lang quickly arrived at the battered and tattered branches and picked up the Elemental Lightning Stone.

The moment Chen Lang picked it up, he actually sensed that the energy within it seemed to be even thicker than what he had perceived earlier!?

This was not because Chen Lang was closer, but rather that its energy had genuinely increased!

"Could it be... caused by the destruction just now and certain factors on this demon tree?"

Chen Lang muttered a sentence in his heart, though he didn't dwell on it much, and stored it away.

Energy being thicker was a good thing!

After all, the energy demand of his own Lightning Element was incomparably huge to begin with.

A large energy demand wasn't a bad thing either; just like now, having engaged in high-intensity, continuous destruction since entering this place, his magic power had only consumed one-fifth of its total reserve.

In fact, it was this tree demon that consumed more of it than anything else.

The drawback of having few elements simply couldn't manifest in his case.

The time was still early, and Chen Lang didn't even need to rest before continuing to explore this eerie place.

The dangers here were immense, but the corresponding rewards were profound...
