Ling Jiu left the training camp base and went straight to Mount Kosciuszko after handing over today’s rewards and low-level Venom Suit to Ling’er.

  He was about to leave the Australian mainland, but he still had one unfinished business: finishing off his little nemesis. He could not leave in peace unless he had this fixed.

  Half an hour later, he arrived at Mount Kosciuszko in that valley where he found his nemesis: the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon

  “Hmph, it is still sleeping!”


  In Ling Jiu’s field of vision, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon was lying on the side of the cave, snoring away like rolling thunder, blowing two gusts of violent hurricanes from the cave at the flowers and grasses in the valley.

  “Since you sleep so soundly, I might as well let you sleep for good.”


  Arcana Field enveloped the entire cave as a massive gravity force came.

  The terrifying gravity force fell upon the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon, crushing its cells, organs, and bodies.

  The sudden increase in gravity force woke up the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. It roared furiously, trying to get up with its four legs on the ground. But it staggered and fell back down.

  Adjusting its posture, it got back to its feet and lunged out of the cave. Ling Jiu did not stop it.

  “Although many of Pandora’s monsters have defenses comparable to Class 8 Direbeasts, they are far worse in other areas.”


  “Monsters like the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon are the real Class 8 Direbeasts.”


  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon locked its eyes on Ling Jiu as soon as it came out of the cave. A violent fury filled its eyes.

  Ling Jiu!

  It is Ling Jiu again!

  He has trespassed this place time after time!

  He has repeatedly provoked me!

  Damn it!

  Damn it!

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon roared, opening its mouth and ejecting three air streams of different colors toward Ling Jiu.

  Ling Jiu performed a Blink Arcana, easily dodging the attack. As the air current hit the mountain wall, it froze, burned, and corroded the mountain surface.

  “Frost, flame, and acid mist; are these your three abilities? Interesting, but what a shame!”


  Ling Jiu moved in a flash and appeared above the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon’s head with a 200-fold gravity force unleashed. The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon stiffened and plunged toward the valley, as if it had been frozen.

  The earth cracked with a loud boom as the impact left a massive crater in the ground.

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon wanted to look up and roar. But it quickly found that it could not even move its head. With the support of its claws, it struggled to stand up, but it was helpless against the powerful gravity.

  “This is truly a Class 8 Direbeast. Its organs and tissues are still intact despite being immobilized by the two hundredfold gravity.”


  Ling Jiu could not help but feel shocked. Subduing the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon with a 200-fold gravity was a terrifying feat.

  A Level 7 Arcanist like Hao Shuai would bleed through his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears in a 100-fold gravity force field.

  In contrast, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon had just been immobilized, but its organs were perfectly intact.

  This showed how terrifying and powerful the body of the Class 8 Direbeast was.

  “Under normal circumstances, Direbeasts are physically stronger than Arcanists. Now that I can subdue a Class 8 Direbeast, I can also subdue Level 8 Arcanists.”


  Ling Jiu whispered to himself as he lifted the 200-fold gravity force. The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon roared as it regained its mobility.

  Before waiting for the Direbeast to attack, Ling Jiu unleased a Dimensional Shackle, keeping the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon in its place.

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon struggled, but it was useless. The power of Dimensional Shackle was ten times higher than previously. It could immobilize the Direbeast for two to three seconds last time, more so this time.

  “With the current level of my Dimensional Shackle, immobilizing the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon for a minute or two is not a problem at all. It is long enough for me to kill it!”


  Ling Jiu murmured. He lifted the Dimensional Shackle and performed a Time Halt instead.

  He could do a lot of things in 30 seconds.

  “Testing is over. It is time to end this.”


  Ling Jiu took out the war blade. Light flashed and blood spattered as the heads of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon were all severed and free-falling.

  “What a great blade!”


  Ling Jiu ran his fingers over the glossy, mirror-like blade surface that had not been tainted by a single drop of blood. It showed how sharp this blade was.

  “Retrieve!”


  After keeping the corpses, he came to the Divine Spring of Life in the middle of the valley. Some time ago, he had emptied the Divine Spring of Life.

  Miraculously, water had filled the Divine Spring of Life again. It was crystal-clear and rich in Gene Arcana, while its surface sparkled under the sunlight.

  Flowers and plants in the surroundings are still thriving, the valley the same as before.

  Ling Jiu stared at the Divine Spring of Life that had been refilled, his eyes brightening up gradually. If it were a normal spring, it would not matter much whether it was refilled.

  But what was this?

  Spring water had condensed entirely from liquefied Gene Arcana.

  It had been refilled again?

  Where did the spring water come from?

  Ling Jiu immediately used power from the dimension to scan the surrounding area of the Divine Spring of Life.

  All hidden things came into view with the power of dimension.

  This was because everything exists in the vast ocean of dimensional points.

  As Ling Jiu entered the dimension, he was like jumping out of the game map and looking at things from the perspective of God. So he could see everything clearly.

  In fact, Ling Jiu could also enter the Torrent of Time to observe the surrounding objects since everything is immersed in the Torrent of Time.

  “This is……”


  Ling Jiu’s heart skipped a beat when he saw something incredible buried deep in the earth below the Divine Spring of Life.

  There was a small underground dimension. It was blood-red, and a ten-meter-high boulder stood quietly in the center of the dimension.

  The boulder was oval, its surface red like blood with bright golden lines interspersed on it.

  The strange thing was that this enormous boulder looks like a living thing. There was light on its surface, pulsing rhythmically as if it was breathing.

  But that was not the weirdest thing. Something else frightened Ling Jiu.

  He saw surging dark bio-energy descending from the void and pouring into the giant egg. It seemed like the boulder had absorbed it.

  A captivating yet terrifying pressure was felt from the boulder, and it made Ling Jiu quake in his boots. It was as if he was not looking at a stone but a wild beast.

  “What the hell is this?”


  Ling Jiu was trembling. “This boulder seems like an egg, no matter how I look at it. It is an egg of an unknown creature.”


  With fear and doubt, Ling Jiu quietly approached the giant egg and came within a hundred meters of it. He tried to perceive the information of this ‘big boulder’ with his Arcana Replication.

  “If it is really a giant egg or some other life form, my Arcana Replication should be able to detect its Arcana information.”


  As expected, he got something.
