As the dragon head struck, Chen Luo managed to block it with his vital energy.
However, a terrifying force still sent Chen Luo flying.
Chen Luo's body was instantly plunged deep into the lava. The immense heat and pressure did not harm him.
But that one blow left a bloody taste in Chen Luo's mouth:
"That was quite something. Is this True Transformation?"
Before Chen Luo could ponder the key to it,
Boom!!
Several massive dragon heads pierced through the lava once more, striking!
The heavy, scorching lava was no different from ordinary seawater before the dark dragon heads.
Facing the terrifying threat, Chen Luo could only flash his body, darting rapidly through the lava sea.
The SS-rank skill "Silver Feather Flowing Light" was unleashed at full speed!
The light of magic flickered on the wings, as if forged from metal.
The lava sea churned under the disturbance of the nine dragon beasts, its waves surging, leaving no spot calm.
In an instant, nine dragon heads surfaced and submerged in the scorching lava sea, pursuing a pair of brilliant silver wings.
After narrowly dodging the dragon heads' pursuit once more, a surge of anger rose within Chen Luo:
"Chasing, chasing, chasing! Die for me!!"
With a thought, the Flowing Fire Blade was forged again, and in the next moment, a river of fire flowed from the blade.
As he flew at high speed, a fiery blade river, tens of thousands of meters long, formed behind Chen Luo.
In a flash, his wings angled, Chen Luo turned sharply and swung his long saber fiercely!
The ten-thousand-meter-long river of flames, following Chen Luo's swing of the Flowing Fire Blade, slashed towards the monster behind him!
But!
A dark shadow flashed, and the dragon head opened its maw, easily biting into the scorching river of fire that came towards it.
Darkness rapidly spread from the point of contact, and the crimson river of fire was actually being eroded by the monster's power.
Another dragon beast, which had remained calm, sneered:
"You can't even achieve Will Infusion."
"You and your attacks are simply laughable to me!"
As the words fell, the river of fire, extended from the Flowing Fire Blade by the power of sparks, was completely dyed black.
With a gentle bite from the dragon head, this corrupted energy river shattered and fell into the lava.
The other dragon heads were not idle either, and they all pursued Chen Luo again.
In haste, Chen Luo could only retract the Flowing Fire Blade back into his body.
But the scene of his attack shattering, and Theodore's mockery, echoed repeatedly in Chen Luo's mind.
Will Infusion?
Is this the fundamental reason for the gap between us right now?
Chen Luo's heart trembled, and in a daze, he seemed to grasp the key.
But the situation was dire. Chen Luo, who had never encountered knowledge in this area, didn't know how to proceed and could only continue to dodge Theodore's pursuit.
On the outermost layer of the Earth's core, on the island-sized monster's body, nine dragon heads madly bit and chased the dodging Chen Luo.
The situation became increasingly critical.
"True Transformation! If this monster can do it, I definitely can too!"
"Second-tier Energy Transformation! Combined with the Will Infusion it mentioned, that must be the key to this change!"
The nine-headed evil dragon behind him had grown completely impatient with Chen Luo's evasive maneuvers.
This little bug possessed a special movement skill of SS-rank or higher.
With the skill activated, the True Transformed him couldn't gain an advantage in speed.
What made Theodore even more agitated was the look in this human's eyes.
There was no hint of surrender in those golden pupils.
"Bug! Stop right there!!!"
The dragon beast missed its lunge again, lava flowing slowly from its mouth. Its eyes were icy cold!
"This is your fault!"
"I don't care if this world is damaged a little! Die!!!"
The nine dragon heads stopped their pursuit and all stood in the air, opening their massive mouths towards Chen Luo's escape route.
The space around the dragon heads subtly rippled, and unknown void rifts tore through space. Dark energy rapidly gathered from the void.
A terrifying pressure intensified with the condensation of the dark energy!
Chen Luo, with his back to the monster, suddenly felt an extremely terrifying oppressive force from behind!
When Chen Luo turned around, his pupils contracted sharply.
He saw that in front of the Nine-Headed Death Grudge Dragon, a massive energy sphere with a diameter of a thousand meters had formed.
Dark energy churned within the sphere. This attack! The condensed power was far greater than hundreds of nuclear bombs before!
If this were on the surface, this strike would sink islands into the sea and level mountains!
But this was not the surface; it was the core of the Earth!
If this attack erupted here, the chain reaction would destroy everything on the surface!
"Dodge! Keep dodging!!" The powerful negative energy had already overwhelmed Theodore's sanity.
Among the nine heads, eight were controlled by the madness of necromantic essence, and only the dominant dragon head retained a sliver of reason.
But after a long pursuit and the impact of frenzied will, the remaining sanity snapped.
In the main head's eyes, utter madness and coldness flickered. The will of a high-ranking being was now cast aside. Theodore now only wanted to destroy everything before him!
Nine grand voices echoed through the area:
"Curse of Vengeance! Requiem of the Dead Kingdom!!"
"Dodge! As long as my attack touches the Earth's core, everything will be blown away!!"
Hum!
The giant light sphere formed by condensed dark energy broke free from control and slowly flew towards Chen Luo.
The speed of the light sphere was barely sonic, very slow for Chen Luo at this moment.
But Chen Luo's gaze was extremely solemn.
He couldn't dodge!
"You damn madman!!!"
The silver wings behind him unfurled with a roar, and a surge of crimson vital energy began to flow towards the silver wings.
The wings, through which the vital energy flowed, silently transformed into substance. Each silver feather now condensed a terrifying amount of energy.
"Wings of Steel!"
The third special effect of the SS-rank "Silver Feather Flowing Light," a combat form combined with vital energy!
Two pairs of massive silver wings shot out, meeting the dark light sphere head-on!
Boom!!
The light sphere remained unchanged! But the wings shattered rapidly!
The bloody taste in Chen Luo's mouth grew stronger.
But he still stared intently at the approaching light sphere!
"Ultimate Spell! Silver Hand!"
"Spark Ignition! Brilliant Light!"
"Fusion Spell!!! Heaven Shaker!!!"
The void shattered with a roar, and inextinguishable flames burned the Silver Hand into a nearly transparent crystal color.
And this scorching giant hand pushed against the dark energy sphere!
Bang!!
The terrifying impact caused the lava sea to surge like a tsunami in all directions.
And at the epicenter of the impact, the giant hand and the dark sphere were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
In Chen Luo's eyes, demonic patterns flickered, and new Silver Hands were continuously added!
But!
Hum!
The giant black light sphere trembled slightly, and a wave of energy, mixed with an endless, mad, destructive will, surged forth.
The sparks attached to the Silver Hand's exterior annihilated each other with the dark energy!
And the Silver Hand's main body also showed huge cracks and began to crumble!
But the black light sphere remained unharmed and began to advance again!
Even the largely shattered Silver Hand was being pushed along with it, charging towards Chen Luo!
If Chen Luo dodged now, this bizarre light sphere would shoot directly into the Earth's core!
Even if this attack couldn't blow up the Earth's core, the disturbance to it would be enough to destroy everything on the surface!
On the surface, countless figures flashed through Chen Luo's mind.
Chen Luo had a reason not to dodge.
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and his vital energy circulated within him at an unprecedented speed!
The scorching vital energy instantly spread outwards, beginning to burn and erupt.
Chen Luo's strength reached its peak in an instant.
Hatred for heaven, unable to strike!
Hatred for earth, unable to encircle!
In the next moment, Chen Luo, with a look of resolve in his eyes, met the light sphere head-on, using his physical body!
The wings behind him transformed into flowing light, supporting Chen Luo with terrifying thrust as he confronted this world-ending attack.
The moment his body touched the light sphere, Chen Luo's vital energy seemed to be like water poured into fierce oil.
The vital energy representing life and the dark power symbolizing death continuously clashed and annihilated each other.
And within that deathly power, there were countless frenzied and evil wills, assaulting Chen Luo's spirit!
In a daze, Chen Luo understood Theodore's essence.
It was not a single undead being, but a collective of countless undead wills!
Its will had long since permeated every inch of its energy!
In the void, Silver Hands continuously emerged, attempting to block the dark light sphere along with Chen Luo.
But the Silver Hands were constantly shattered before the dark light sphere.
Only Chen Luo's vital energy could barely contend with it, but for every portion of dark energy it neutralized, it required several portions of vital energy.
The price of this resistance was the rapid dissipation of Chen Luo's vital energy.
The rate of dissipation even surpassed Chen Luo's recovery speed.
The light sphere was shrinking, but Chen Luo, who was blocking it, was still being carried by the light sphere towards the Earth's core.
Hoo...
The light sphere, reduced by more than half, finally, carrying Chen Luo's body, sank into the lava sea.
Theodore's unrestrained laughter erupted in the underground:
"Hahaha!! Foolish!! Foolish!!!"
"Why care about those weaklings?! We are the apex of all life!! What does it matter if a hundred billion of them die?!"
"However, your foolishness is truly wonderful!"
The frenzied Theodore stared intently at the light sphere sinking into the lava sea, awaiting its explosion!
"Destroy! Let this world become the land of the dead!!"
But the light sphere did not explode as Theodore willed; instead, it stopped in the lava sea.
The frenzied Theodore's laughter abruptly halted.
The nine dragon heads. All looked towards the black light sphere.
The next moment,
The boy's voice echoed from beneath the lava sea:
"So... this is my True Transformation!!"
