CRACK!
The Array Plate cracked. Jiang Jinling coughed up blood, and the phantasm of the ancient sage wavered.
The scales of battle tipped dramatically after Ah Ji’s earth-shattering Blazing Light Fist.
"Ah Kun! Keep going!"
Gu Ming shouted. Ah Kun’s previous technique had been interrupted by the Broken Wave Array; it should have recovered its breath by now.
"ROAR—!"
Ah Kun let out a low, resolute roar. Its colossal body leaped through the air, carving a stunning arc that filled the arena, its form radiating a powerful beauty.
Its giant wings beat to a certain angle, then suddenly froze.
Its two broad, star-like pectoral fins spread wide, frantically drawing in the surrounding Water Element and Starlight.
A deep, rotating energy vortex, radiating a terrifying suction force, began to rapidly form in front of its massive mouth.
Whale Soaring and Heaven-Devouring-star Transformation required a brief charge-up to unleash its true power!
This moment of charging was the key to victory!
"A desperate struggle!"
Jiang Jinling endured the excruciating, tearing pain in her Divine Soul, the ferocity in her eyes only intensifying.
She would not sit idly by and await her doom.
"Elf King, Natural Fury - Ten Thousand Vines Strangulation!"
Receiving its master’s resolute will, the emerald light of the crown on the Grass Elf King’s forehead burned to its absolute brightest.
The fading phantasm of the ancient sage behind it let out an ancient sigh, finally transforming into the purest essence and completely merging into its body.
In that instant, the Grass Elf King’s aura forcibly surged once more, carrying the tragic intensity of an all-or-nothing gamble!
It beat its wings furiously. Countless dark green vines, as thick as dragons and shimmering with a cold metallic light and the ancient sage’s Runes, surged toward the charging Ah Kun like ancient Fierce Beasts breaking free from their cages, blotting out the sky!
Wherever the vines passed, Space rippled, carrying a dual Power of Law for both confinement and absorption.
It was a critical moment!
Ah Ji, having just thrown the Blazing Light Fist, had not yet fully recovered its Physical Strength.
Seeing that Ah Kun was immobile while releasing its ultimate move, it once again stepped forward.
Its figure flashed, and it appeared at Gu Ming’s side, letting out an urgent "Meow!"
Gu Ming was also looking at it. Their minds connected in a flash, and they both thought of using *that* move.
To unleash the full effect of the Blazing Light Fist, Ah Ji had nearly exhausted all the Mana in its body.
After all, their opponent was an Array Master from Venus. The Array she had set up was extremely powerful. Ah Ji’s punch had reached the combat standard of a Four-star Pet Beast, an attack that was far beyond its normal limits. The price was being left almost unable to fight.
However, though its Mana was nearly depleted, a little bit remained. This didn’t mean Ah Ji’s Shadow Mimicry was unusable.
Ah Ji requested to use the transformation form it had observed from Teacher Tang’s Profound Celestial Beast.
"Transform!" Gu Ming ordered without hesitation via his Divine Sense.
With permission granted, the ghostly and faint lights in Ah Ji’s eyes flared up simultaneously!
Its petite body began a deeper level of mimicry.
Constructed from the Power of Shadow, it activated Shadow Cloak and Shadow Mimicry simultaneously, transforming into the Profound Celestial Beast Ghost Armor it envisioned in its mind!
Dark matter rose from its shadow, rapidly enveloping Ah Ji and solidifying into a translucent, ghost-colored suit of energy armor over three meters tall!
The armor was archaic and menacing, with wisps of ghostly energy coiling around its joints.
Through the body of the armor, one could see its core: Ah Ji’s own body, transformed into a deep, flickering, ghostly-black Soul Fire!
Its disproportionately large Ghost Armor arms were incredibly solid, radiating a terrifying, domineering, and corrosive aura!
Far away at his company, Teacher Tang watched the live broadcast with great interest.
When Ah Ji transformed into its Ghost Armor Form, an almost imperceptible ripple flashed through his deep eyes before they returned to their usual placid calm.
He gently raised his hand. The Space beside him distorted, and the true Profound Celestial Beast Ghost Soul—his own, with an aura as unfathomable as an abyss—silently appeared.
"Look," Teacher Tang said softly to his Profound Celestial Beast, his tone casual. "That little one is imitating you in a match again."
The Profound Celestial Beast Ghost Soul’s eyes, burning with Soul Fire, swept across the screen. Having seen this many times before, it showed no emotion, merely watching quietly.
However, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop a few degrees, indicating that it was, perhaps, a little pleased.
For a Pet Beast to imitate it was a symbol of worship and reverence, an affirmation of its own power.
BOOM!
On the battlefield, Ah Ji, now with the giant arms of its Ghost Armor, threw a punch at the sky-full of vines!
However, the power of the Grass Elf King’s Ten Thousand Vines Strangulation, unleashed with all its might under the ancient sage’s blessing, was beyond imagination.
Although the Ghost Fire Fist could incinerate some of the vines, more advanced relentlessly, still stubbornly coiling toward Ah Kun!
Just as the defensive line was about to be broken, the Soul Fire core within Ah Ji’s Ghost Armor suddenly erupted with a blinding light!
Spiritual Awakening and Burst!
While in its mimicked form, it converted all of its potential into the purest, most violent Spiritual Power!
An invisible, yet seemingly tangible, Spiritual Shock wave spread out brazenly with Ah Ji at its center!
This power didn’t target the physical body, but aimed directly at the soul and consciousness!
VMMMM—!
The air hummed as if under an unbearable load.
Under the impact of this pure Spiritual Storm, the control and will of the Grass Elf King contained within the sky-full of dancing vines momentarily stiffened and fell into chaos!
It was as if the "strings" controlling them had been violently yanked by an invisible hand!
But what was even stranger was that, while the Spiritual Storm swept through the arena and captured everyone’s attention, beneath the waves stirred up by Ah Kun that had yet to completely subside...
An incorporeal and intangible Fear Ripple, yet one capable of making souls tremble, was silently spreading.
This ripple of fear carried an ancient, bloody atmosphere, like the scene of some hopeless execution ground.
This was precisely the formless impression of terror originating from the Terror Executioner of the Yichuan Ruins, contained within Ah Kun’s Fear Attribute!
This Fear Attribute mixed with the churning waves like an undercurrent, silently affecting the minds of the enemies on the battlefield—especially Jiang Jinling and the Grass Elf King, whose minds were connected!
The vines’ assault faltered for an instant!
Cyan Treasure immediately seized the opportunity, fully activating its Rootless Wood to devour and break down the attack!
The triple elemental barrier desperately constructed by the Elemental Spirit also looked as if it were about to crumble!
And in the center of the battlefield, the energy vortex in front of Ah Kun’s massive mouth had compressed to its absolute limit, emitting destructive fluctuations that caused Space itself to distort.
Like a supernova on the verge of exploding... the energy vortex, compressed to its limit, was no longer a simple ball of light, but more like a miniature, greedy black hole that devoured everything.
Not even light could escape its pull. The protective shields at the edge of the arena hummed, overloaded, as if they could be torn apart at any moment.
Ah Kun’s colossal body trembled slightly from bearing such immense energy.
The light on its star-like pectoral fins had also dimmed somewhat, as it poured all of its power into this final, ultimate strike.
The second step of the Wave-Swallowing Technique, successfully unleashed by a Three-star Pet Beast.
This strike was destined to make every spectator, both inside and outside the arena, gasp in astonishment with widened eyes.
"Logically speaking, a Pet Beast capable of unleashing such an attack should be at the Five or Six-star Realm at least."
"What’s amazing about student Gu Ming is that his understanding of Pet Beast Daoist Skills is incredibly profound. He can grasp the minimum threshold for high-end Combat Techniques at a Low-star Level with minimal cost, allowing his beasts to use them."
"But Professor Shen, I remember the Wave-Swallowing Technique isn’t just a simple Combat Skill. It’s also an Evolution Method, isn’t it? It seems Ah Kun has only undergone a Form Evolution, which is a bit strange..."
As soon as the words were spoken, it happened.
A light of transformation originating from its Life Power—the light of Evolution—suddenly burst forth from within Ah Kun’s body.
Jiang Jinling’s face turned ashen.
