Chapter 274: Cand-Dragon’s Breakthrough, Refining the Elemental Essence
"Cand-Dragon?" The crowd was horrified, staring in disbelief at the massive dragon in front of them. Its colossal body stretched for miles, exuding a terrifying aura that made the entire space of the Secret Area tremble faintly.
"Heaven and Earth Transformation!" John muttered, equally shocked as he observed Cand- Dragon, who had now transformed into its original form, growing to an immense size.
John was all too familiar with this aura-it was precisely the Heaven and Earth Transformation he had comprehended from the Immortals' legacy.
He hadn't expected Cand-Dragon to master it as well.
But on second thought, it made sense. Heaven and Earth Transformation was an ability that evolved from the Beast Clan's Overwhelming Battle Energy technique.
Cand-Dragon was a rare genius within the Beast Clan, one in a million, who had also cultivated Overwhelming Battle Energy. With access to the Immortals' legacy, there was a significant chance he would grasp Heaven and Earth Transformation.
What surprised John, however, was that Cand-Dragon had learned it by watching his battle against Blood Moon.
"Godslayer, do you dare to face me in a fight now?" Cand-Dragon's voice thundered, resonating through the heavens. His terrifying aura spread wide, igniting an unbounded fighting spirit.
A grin spread across John's face as he unleashed his own powerful fighting spirit. The last battle had barely satisfied him.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" he replied, taking off his five-colored celestial robe and handing it back to Jolyne.
This treasure was immensely powerful; he didn't want to use it to gain an unfair advantage over Cand-Dragon.
Boom!
He stepped forward, unleashing a fierce aura that clashed instantly with the overwhelming force emanating from Cand-Dragon.
Rumble...
The space around them began to rupture, waves of spatial turbulence swirling in, drawing in a powerful pulling force.
Jolyne gasped in surprise, quickly donning the five-colored celestial robe and retreating in haste.
She could sense that she couldn't withstand the residual energy waves from the two fighters' battle.
Further off, warriors from various clans awoke from their trance, retreating hastily, trying to distance themselves as much as possible from the two.
Boom!
With another thunderous clash, man and dragon charged at each other in a blur, using no special skills, relying solely on raw physical might.
Boom!
The air shook, sending out a violent gale as John's massive figure was hurled backward, while Cand-Dragon was similarly forced to spin through the air. He quickly stabilized, the victor apparent in the clash.
The distant spectators could only feel a buzzing in their heads, nearly fainting from the impact.
"Lord Cand-Dragon is incredible!" Tony, one of the Beast Clan, looked thrilled. Though loyal to John, he still hoped to see Cand-Dragon come out victorious.
Jolyne shot him a disapproving glare.
"Again!" John steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared with excitement as he charged at Cand-Dragon once more.
Boom, boom...
A giant and a massive dragon engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, pure power colliding with no finesse involved.
The space around them shattered, with spatial currents swirling and the battlefield continuously expanding.
The onlookers retreated in fear, desperate to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
Boom!
With yet another deafening roar, John's giant body was once again flung backward. Hovering, Cand-Dragon roared, "Godslayer, aren't you going to transform?"
He knew this was far from John's full strength.
John's ultimate form lay in his Heaven and Earth Transformation, his golden divine dragon state.
"Alright!" John realized that his own Heaven and Earth Transformation form alone was no match for Cand-Dragon.
Roar...
A resonant dragon cry echoed through the heavens as golden light flared around John, instantly transforming him into a massive golden divine dragon.
His enormous body now rivaled Cand-Dragon's in size.
The crowd was once again stunned, deeply shaken by John's transformed form.
...
John continued to quietly refine the four fundamental Elemental Essences.
The powerful beings from various clans gathered at a distance, waiting patiently for him to
complete the test and leave the Secret Area.
Jolyne, however, appeared a bit anxious, constantly surveying the surroundings, as if worried
about something.
"What's wrong?" Nine-Tails noticed her unease and approached, asking curiously.
"It's nothing," Jolyne replied, shaking her head without elaborating. Nine-Tails assumed she was concerned about the other warriors in the Secret Area and tried
to reassure her. "Don't worry. With us guarding him, they won't dare make a move. As soon as
he finishes refining the Elemental Essence, the trial will end."
Jolyne forced a small smile, nodding in agreement.
But her worries weren't about the others in the Secret Area; it was Sea King who troubled her.
Sea King had ordered her to prevent John from obtaining the Elemental Essence, but she had no intention of following through. She truly wanted to help John.
It wasn't solely because of the Immortals' kindness-she had a deep-seated feeling that this
human could help her find freedom.
John had already gathered all the fundamental Elemental Essences, yet a sense of unease still
gnawed at her.
Sea King was an unfathomable force, and he likely had the means to break into the Secret
Area. Not only was he a peak-level, one-star Overseer, but his power would surpass even Cand-Dragon and John combined.
Now, all she could do was pray that Sea King wouldn't detect anything happening here,
allowing John to smoothly refine all the fundamental Elemental Essence, pass the trial, and
claim the Heart of Skyline Continent.
With John's terrifying talent, becoming The Overseer would mean he could undoubtedly
stand against Sea King.
...
Time ticked by, second by second, as John focused his mind entirely on refining the Elemental
Essence.
[You have refined Wind Elemental Essence, body wind elementalization increased by 1%]
[You have refined Earth Elemental Essence, body earth elementalization increased by 1%]
[You have refined Water Elemental Essence, body water elementalization increased by 1%]
[You have refined Fire Elemental Essence, body fire elementalization increased by 1%]
...
[Body wind elementalization reached 100%, immune to wind attribute damage; you have comprehended the Immortal Art, Wind Evasion Technique]
[Body earth elementalization reached 100%, immune to earth attribute damage; you have comprehended the Immortal Art, Earth Evasion Technique]
[Body water elementalization reached 100%, immune to water attribute damage; you have comprehended the Immortal Art, Water Evasion Technique]
[Body fire elementalization reached 100%, immune to fire attribute damage; you have comprehended the Immortal Art, Fire Evasion Technique]
...
Notices flashed before him, and John opened his eyes, filled with joy and excitement.
With his body's four foundational elementalizations now maxed out at 100%, he had unexpectedly gained comprehension of four Immortal Art abilities.
Wind Evasion, Earth Evasion, Water Evasion, Fire Evasion-each technique consumed 1,000 spiritual power per second when activated, allowing him to fuse directly into the corresponding element and become immune to that element's damage. Only soul damage remained an exception.
