Taking advantage of this opportunity, Loran's Thunder Spatial Slash slammed into the spine of the Ancient Earth Dragon.
"Clang!"
A piercing metallic clang rang out as the longsword struck the scales, sending sparks flying everywhere. Although the earth dragon's scales were tough, a deep crack still appeared before the Thunder Spatial Slash, which contained the power of God King. Black chaotic energy surged out from the crack, along with golden earth vein power flowing out at the same time.
"Aww--!"
The Ancient Earth Dragon let out a painful howl, its body twisting violently as it tried to throw Loran off. Loran clung tightly to the dragon's scales, the God King power within him surging into his longsword, continuing to cut deeper.
"Break it off!"
With a roar, Loran unleashed the Laws of Lightning and Laws of Space on his longsword simultaneously, causing the silver-white sword light to surge and instantly sever the chaotic patterns on the earth dragon's spine and its connection to the earth veins.
"Boom!"
The moment the earth vein connection was severed, the entire valley trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared in the ground. Golden earth vein power surged out from the cracks, like giant golden dragons. The Ancient Earth Dragon's body stiffened abruptly, its energy supply instantly cut off, and the growth rate of its chaotic energy slowed significantly.
"Now!" Loran leaped down, landing beside Lei Lin. "Everyone, launch a joint attack and purify the chaotic energy within its body!"
The Treant Elder immediately pressed his hands to the ground, and green Laws of Life surged forth like a tide, entangling the Ancient Earth Dragon's body and continuously purifying the chaotic patterns on its surface. The Nine-Eyed Golden Python's nine eyes once again shot out golden, highly venomous beams, this time piercing directly through the cracks in the earth dragon's scales and entering its body, beginning to erode the chaotic energy. The Adamantine Mountain-Rending Bear had also recovered from its injuries and charged forward again, using its giant claws to continuously attack the earth dragon's wounds, preventing the chaotic energy from repairing itself. The Shadow Nether Sparrow flapped its wings, releasing spatial blades that sliced through the chaotic patterns on the earth dragon's body.
Loran and Lei Lin exchanged a glance, simultaneously unleashing their strongest power. The contract runes between the two were activated once more, and the silver-white Laws of Lightning, the golden Qilin power, and Loran's God King power merged together to form a massive pillar of light that shot towards the Ancient Earth Dragon's wound.
"Boom!"
The beam of light pierced through the earth dragon's body, exiting from its abdomen and bringing with it a large amount of black chaotic energy and golden blood. The Ancient Earth Dragon let out a mournful howl, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. The scarlet flames in its eye sockets gradually faded, and a sliver of clarity returned.
Loran walked to the side of the Ancient Earth Dragon and could feel the chaotic energy within its body rapidly dissipating, while the power of the earth veins was gradually stabilizing. Although this ancient demonic beast was corrupted by chaotic energy, it was not inherently evil; it was merely being controlled by anger and the desire to kill.
"Human God King... Thank you..." The Ancient Earth Dragon's voice was hoarse and weak, a pale golden light returning to its eye sockets, "The chaotic energy... corrupted my mind... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have continued to sink into depravity..."
Loran nodded. "No need to be polite. The Chaos Divine Faction is the enemy of all races; purifying the Chaos energy is my responsibility." He raised his hand, releasing a pure God King's power into the earth dragon's body to help it heal its injuries. "You are the guardian of the ley lines; the Kalon Continent needs you."
The Ancient Earth Dragon glanced gratefully at Loran, slowly closed its eyes, and its massive body began to shrink, eventually becoming a ten-meter-long earth dragon. It curled up on the ground and began to sleep and recover. The chaotic energy within its body had been completely purified, and the power of the earth veins had re-established a weak connection with the surrounding earth veins.
