"Bi Ji, I wouldn't mind having another 'sister.' You still have a chance too~"
"Hmph." Bi Ji gave a soft snort and did not pursue the matter.
Jin Jiuxiao deserved the lion's share of the credit for Zi JI's tremendous improvement this time.
It was understandable that she would make such a direct move in her excitement.
Bi Ji even felt that, if Jin Jiuxiao were not still a few years too young, Zi JI might have given herself to him outright.
Jin Jiuxiao pressed his lips together.
Honestly... that felt pretty good.
With that little interlude over, Jin Jiuxiao turned to business. "Sister Zi JI, how much have you improved this time?"
"Hmm..." Zi JI thought for a moment. "I should only be a little weaker than the Beast God, right?"
"?" A huge question mark seemed to pop up over Jin Jiuxiao's forehead.
Bi Ji froze too.
What did she mean, only a little weaker than Di Tian?
"Exactly how much cultivation do you have now?" Xiong Jun realized that he could no longer discern Zi JI's exact cultivation either.
Zi JI flashed a brilliant smile. "Seven hundred and thirty thousand years."
Dugu Bo had already silently retreated into the distance.
These Ferocious Beasts were too fucking terrifying...
They casually threw around hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.
And this Hell Demon Dragon King, Zi JI, had jumped straight from two hundred thousand years of cultivation to seven hundred and thirty thousand...
Who wouldn't be scared?
There were also many things he could not even understand.
Forget it, forget it. He would just keep a low profile.
"..." Xiong Jun fell silent.
Originally, his cultivation had exceeded Zi JI's by two hundred and twenty thousand years.
Now, however, the situation had reversed.
Zi JI's cultivation exceeded his by a full three hundred and ten thousand years...
What followed was Xiong Jun's ever-rising fighting spirit. "Come on, Zi JI, let's go outside and spar!"
"As you wish." Zi JI certainly would not turn down a ready-made punching bag.
She also wanted to test just how powerful she was now.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had thick hide and tough flesh. As long as she held back a little, she would not beat Xiong Jun to death.
Besides, Bi Ji was here too.
As long as he did not die, Bi Ji could save him.
She spread her dragon wings and flew outside.
Unwilling to fall behind, Xiong Jun hurried after Zi JI.
Watching the two rush out, Bi Ji sighed helplessly. "I'll have to heal Xiong Jun again."
She spread her wings and, together with Jin Jiuxiao, who unfurled his lightning wings, chased after the two figures who had left one after the other.
After watching them all leave, Dugu Bo sighed. "Forget it. I'll just keep cultivating."
Once he finished his first round of compressing and purifying his Soul Power, he planned to leave and gather some information.
Having accepted the benefits, he had to get the job done properly.
When Jin Jiuxiao and Bi Ji arrived, they saw Zi JI hovering in the sky, facing off against Xiong Jun, who had assumed his true form on the ground.
"Zi JI, now that your cultivation has broken through, you're not even willing to reveal your true form?" Xiong Jun was undoubtedly somewhat angry.
To him, Zi JI was showing him disrespect.
"..." After a brief silence, Zi JI gave her reason. "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and will beat you to death."
"Are you saying you can defeat me whenever you want?!"
"Sigh~" The corners of Zi JI's lips curved upward. "Why won't you believe me?"
Devouring Domain-unleashed.
Feeling its suppression, Xiong Jun unleashed his own Dark Gold Domain as well. "If that's all you've got, I suggest you reveal your true form sooner rather than later."
"I'm not finished yet." Ice-blue and crimson divine light shone in Zi JI's dark-purple dragon eyes. "Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Domain!"
An even more powerful domain force unfurled in an instant.
It immediately suppressed Xiong Jun's Dark Gold Domain completely.
Moreover, once the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Domain overlapped with the Devouring Domain, it placed Xiong Jun under tremendous suppression.
That was not all.
Devouring power covered the entire area of the domains.
Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire each occupied one side, forming a yin-yang diagram.
Xiong Jun stood precisely in the central area where ice and fire collided and ground together.
The damage inflicted in the central area increased exponentially.
Pain struck.
Xiong Jun could not help sucking in a cold breath. "Hiss... this domain of yours..."
He couldn't drag this out any longer.
Xiong Jun raised his Dark Gold Dreadclaw and slashed straight out.
Claw light that tore the heavens and split the earth hurtled toward Zi JI.
"Abyssal Ice Dragon Breath." Zi JI parted her delicate lips.
The dark-blue Dragon Breath, cold to the utmost extreme, instantly froze the claw light into an ice sculpture.
Without losing any of its force, the Dragon Breath slammed into Xiong Jun.
Solid ice froze the entire bear in place.
He could not break free anytime soon.
"Bi Ji, give Xiong Jun some enhancement and healing."
Zi JI even had time to call out to Bi Ji.
Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Bi Ji placed enhancement and healing halos on Xiong Jun without hesitation.
Even with Bi Ji's enhancement, Xiong Jun took several seconds to break free of the ice.
"World-Destroying Dragon Flame."
By the time Xiong Jun heard Zi JI's voice, the dragon flames had already engulfed him completely.
"Aooow! Aooow! Aooow!"
Even though Zi JI had not used her full strength, the scorching flames still made Xiong Jun howl incessantly.
Zi JI slowly landed. "That should do it."
The World-Destroying Dragon Flame gradually died out.
Zi JI also withdrew her Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Domain.
Xiong Jun's miserable condition was revealed before the three of them.
His originally dark-gold fur was now pitch-black.
Once the scorched smell dissipated, the aroma of meat drifted into their nostrils.
Several places on Xiong Jun's body where his fur was sparse had already been burned through by World-Destroying Lie Yan.
After receiving the legacy of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, Zi JI had gained two diametrically opposed Ultimate Attributes: Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire.
Even without getting serious, the Abyssal Ice Dragon Breath and World-Destroying Dragon Flame unleashed with her seven hundred and thirty thousand years of cultivation were more than enough to break through Xiong Jun's defenses.
Ice and fire alternated.
Had Zi JI attacked with her full strength, Xiong Jun would have become a roasted bear.
"Sky-Rending Claw!" Enduring the pain, Xiong Jun unleashed his strongest ultimate technique.
Once, she had possessed no means of countering Xiong Jun's Sky-Rending Claw.
But the present was nothing like the past.
A chill that made the soul sting spread from Zi JI.
Zi JI sighed softly.
Everything around her seemed to have had the pause button pressed on it.
The Sky-Rending Claw was no exception, turning ice-blue and hanging suspended in midair.
A layer of frost also condensed over Xiong Jun's body.
Even his soul was completely frozen.
At that moment, Xiong Jun was no different from fish on a chopping board, at another's mercy.
"Hmm~ hm-hmm~" Humming an unknown tune, Zi JI leisurely came to Jin Jiuxiao's side. "Bi Ji, sorry for the trouble in a moment."
"Just now... what was that?"
Zi JI had no intention of hiding it. "A divine skill the Ice Dragon King taught me, Absolute Zero."
"It's just that my current cultivation is still insufficient. I can't bring out this move's true power at all."
"According to the Ice Dragon King, in theory, if this move is pushed to its utmost, it can even freeze space and time completely."
Hearing the words "divine skill," Jin Jiuxiao asked further, "Sister Zi JI, surely the two Dragon Kings taught you more than just this one move?"
Zi JI nodded lightly. "The power of World-Destroying Dragon Flame depends on how much power I use. It came from the Fire Dragon King."
"With the two Dragon Kings' help, my bloodline has also become closer to the Dragon God's."
"Besides that... I also comprehended a divine skill unique to me alone-Twin Dragons Devour the Heavens."
"As for its power, according to the two Dragon Kings' estimates, at the same cultivation level, it shouldn't be weaker than the Beast God's Dragon God Claw."
Zi JI spread her hands. "So I really wasn't looking down on Xiong Jun."
"If I revealed my true form and attacked with my full strength, I'm afraid I'd beat Xiong Jun to death."
Did they really think she had been joking when she said she was "a little weaker than the Beast God"?
