Chapter 435 — Killing Until No One Dares Fight

Right now, no one wanted to laugh harder than the Flame Dragon King. It too had assumed Shi Jin had broken through to Legendary—and yet this fellow Jiaqi was still only a level-six Beastmaster?!

"Shen Yuan, what are your people trying to do?"

Seeing Shi Jin go up to face the Flame Dragon King just like that, the Legends of the other six nations all felt a pang of alarm.

Shenfeng and the others especially—after all, Shi Jin had promised to share the mechanical phantom beast system once the World Tournament ended.

If Shi Jin died in the World Tournament, would that promise still hold?

"I don't know, but let's trust him," Shen Yuan said quietly. Shi Jin's own body was that powerful; once a death spirit possessed him, in theory he could hardly be weak.

Except that, not knowing Crimson Eye's true strength, and with the opponent so overwhelmingly powerful, Shen Yuan did not have much confidence at this moment either.

"Kid, let me show you the gap between us."

"ROAR———!!!"

Without hesitation, the Flame Dragon King launched its attack.

First came Intimidation to shock the foe.

Punkham opened its mouth and suddenly let out a dragon roar that resounded through all of Inatella.

The vast dragon roar, rolling with dragon might, nearly made every living being below Totem-tier cover their ears and tremble in their hearts.

And that was only after the Totems had helped shield the spectators beneath them.

The fiery red dragon's bellow was concentrated mainly on the fire field, its primary target Shi Jin—who, within the fire domain, ought to be enduring the most terrifying pressure of all.

"The sound and the intimidation are intertwined."

"Dragon might is formidable to begin with, and the Flame Dragon King has honed its Intimidation to the level of perfection, paired with its sound-type ultimate move—"

"Even an ordinary Overlord-tier would likely be instantly forced to submit

beneath its domineering aura..."

A Beastmaster from one of the Totem Nations said, covering his ears; the Overlords beside them could not deny it either, their expressions utterly grave. "A contest of intimidation?"

"Mii! (Crush it.)" Crimson Eye's sword hum echoed; this intimidation was far inferior to Bugsy's dragon might!

"Good. Crush it."

In that instant, the blue psychic fluctuations around Shi Jin, who held Crimson Eye, were dyed orange-red, his whole body growing blurred and blazing, threads of red fire bursting forth and coiling around him.

His blue eyes shifted in an instant to crimson, as though flames smoldered in his gaze; beyond that, his hair, too, began at once to shade from black toward red.

"High-tier undead-attribute skill, Possession!"

"This death spirit even knows that move."

Suddenly, the Beastmasters and Overlords of every nation recognized the skill, and their eyes went wide.

It came back to them all at once: talent skills such as Fusion, Possession, and Loading could be used jointly by Beastmaster and beast.

The boost to the combat power of both sides depended on the respective strength of the Beastmaster and the beast.

Shi Jin's own strength was already terrifying—so how strong would he become once possessed by an undead-attribute beast?

In an instant, the gathered forces of every faction could not even imagine it.

"That sword spirit possession is incredibly strong!!" In Minghua, Amelia—who had once been defeated by Jue with the Golden Phoenix and Dragon Sparrow—and the Minghua Beastmasters who had witnessed that battle all spoke with utmost gravity.

It was just a pity that the Dead Spirit Shi Ying possessed was still only King-tier.

If it had been an Overlord-tier Dead Spirit possessing Shi Jin, he might truly have been able to contend with the Flame Dragon King.

At this very moment, Shi Jin was undergoing a continuous transformation.

"Boom!" Countless threads of fire converged, and a violent spiritual energy like the flames of the sun wrapped Shi Jin's entire body in a blazing aura. In that instant, his whole frame grew even more gaunt, yet radiated a greater sense of power!

Now Shi Ying's aura had completely changed—he no longer seemed human. The emotion in his gaze had faded greatly, replaced by an astonishing deterrent force erupting from his body.

Shi Ying's quasi-Totem soul, combined with the max-level possession of the Dead Spirit Crimson Pupil, instantly raised their shared combat level to the Invincible Overlord tier.

BOOM!!!

In that moment, the Flame Dragon King's deterrent force, fused with sound waves materialized into a fiery dragon, came roaring furiously—and Shi Tan, having completed his possession in an instant, was not to be outdone.

BOOM!!!!

Amid a piercing cry, the red-haired Sword God Shi Jin's aura surged to the heavens, firelight bursting forth. Within that firelight, a shocking phoenix might swept upward, orange flames piercing the sky and spreading across the entire heavens.

The dazzling flames coalesced into a phoenix; the colossal crimson phantom soared amid the flames in midair, the crown-like crest upon its head proclaiming the majesty of the king of birds.

Skill approaching the Dao—the Majesty of the Phoenix!

BANG!!!

The two materialized deterrent forces clashed in an instant.

Crack.

At that collision, the Flame Dragon King's expression changed at once.

Moments before, the Flame Dragon King had regarded Jue with utter disdain, but now, as Crimson Pupil's max-level possession merged their soul power into one, drawing out the fullest possession effect and unleashing a deterrent of even higher mastery—a phoenix might in no way inferior to dragon might—the Flame Dragon King's face went blank in an instant.

"ROAR!!!!"

"SCREEE!!!"

The dragon's roar and the phoenix's cry still echoed through Inatera; the colossal collision of deterrent forces nearly left the Overlords present gasping for breath. After some seconds, with a "crack" like shattering space, the deterrent forces of both sides scattered in all directions.

The Flame Dragon King flew up, its unstoppable dragon might having been held at bay, and its blood-red eyes turned with savage fury toward Cen Yu.

"It—it actually blocked it?!!"

At the same time, seeing Shi Jin easily withstand the Flame Dragon King's dragon might, many onlookers' eyes went wide in disbelief—after all, the two sides were separated by an entire major tier!!

In that moment, every Beastmaster of the seven nations snapped their gaze to that red-haired, crimson-eyed Flame Sword God, and looking upon his calm face, they suddenly felt a chill. Even Ye Xing and the other aces of the seven nations wore expressions of incredulity.

No way—this kid couldn't really have the strength to contend with the Flame Dragon King, could he?

"Lin Shuo." By now Lin Shuo had returned to the Donghuang competitors' side, and Shenling, seeing him, immediately asked, "Did you know about Shi Jin's going over there?"

Lin Shuo gazed into the distance in silence, then said, "I knew. Let him give it a try."

"So that's it—one is a human fusing with a pet beast, and the other a pet beast fusing with a human?" At the same time, the Pig Deity, discovering that Shi Jin could truly hold his own against the Flame Dragon King, thought to himself in astonishment.

Judged by beings of their level, this enhancement was indeed extraordinary—one might even call it terrifying.

"Hm." Beside him, the World Tree clone was also greatly surprised; he had not expected that mixed-blood sword spirit possessing Shi Jin to unleash such power.

BOOM!!!

The battle continued. Shi Ying's figure had already flickered from the ground and vanished, arriving in the air. He floated there, fixing his gaze on the Flame Dragon King ahead, and directly swung out a single sword strike.

SWISH!

Shi Shuo's sword fell.

At that instant, everyone watching the sky felt only that the light before their eyes was snatched away in the blink of an eye, as though the world had plunged into darkness.
