    The white light shed again, and An Lin disappeared before reappearing over a kilometer away.


    Tina’s spatial flicker was quite useful, and it was this ability used in conjunction with An Lin’s Vermilion Bird Mirror and Divine Plunder Technique that caught the ck dragonpletely off guard.


    He immediately yelled to Cassidy and the others, “Attack the ck dragon now! I’ve already taken away his defensive ability!”


    Cassidy and Merlin’s expressions shifted upon hearing this. He could even snatch away the defensive ability of the ck dragon? As expected of the Holy Leader!


    Mi Ya felt like An Lin was spouting nonsense, but upon seeing the ck dragon’s scales losing all their luster, she had no choice but to believe that the ck dragon had indeed somehow been weakened.


    A massive ck fist projection tore through the clouds as it descended from the sky.


    Tobias had finally returned, and he immediately threw a devastating fist at the ck dragon’s head.


    The fist collided with the ck dragon’s head, and it was once again bashed into the ground. However, what was different this time was the fountain of blood gushing from its mouth upon being struck by the devastating fist.


    Mi Ya and the others were all shocked upon seeing this.


    <i>An Lin actually stripped away the ck dragon’s defensive abilities!</i>


    Everyone immediately took advantage of this opportunity to unleash their full power. Blue pirs of water soared into the air, the blood demon projection was conjured up again, and a series of monstrous crimson sword projections rained down as the tables were instantly turned!


    Once again, An Lin went to stand atop his ck brick while spectating the battle with a calm expression.


    Dao Ye was in a state of shock upon seeing all this.


    This was the real An Lin! He only participated in the battle for a few seconds, but he was instantly able to flip the entire battle on its head! Was this really something a Soul Formation Stage cultivator was capable of doing? The average Soul Formation Stage cultivators would’ve probably sh*t themselves in the face of such a mighty dragon, but what about An Lin? He waspletely calm and collected with not even the slightest hint of fear on his face!


    An unshakeable heartbined with unfathomable power…


    No wonder the Dark Night Monarch fell at his hands. Dao Ye was starting to feel quite concerned for even the Moonlit Night Monarch!


    Dao Ye waspletely unable to muster up even a hint of courage in the face of An Lin’s overwhelming strength. He felt like his top priority should be to get out of here alive so that he could deliver news of what he had witnessed here to the Moonlit Night Monarch!


    He had to warn her of how terrifyingly dangerous it was to oppose such a monstrous being!


    The ck dragon was getting the living crap beaten out of it, and its body was riddled with wounds.


    Just as everyone was thinking whether they should beat this dragon to death, all the scales on its body suddenly opened up while a brilliant crimson light burst forth from its body. Immediately after, its aura began to climb explosively.


    “Roar!”


    Its body spun on the spot as the fearsome power emanating from its body twisted the space around it into a corkscrew shape. Everyone around the dragon sustained internal injuries from its desperate counterattack, and they all stumbled back in retreat.


    It was also right at this moment that the ck dragon flew toward An Lin!


    That’s right, its target was An Lin! It was reduced to this pitiful state because An Lin stole its defensive ability. Hence, the only way to turn the battle around was to kill An Lin!


    Tina immediately tried to unleash a defensive spell formation.


    To her surprise, An Lin prevented her from doing so. “Get out of here; I’m invincible during this period of time!”


    Tina instinctively heeded An Lin’s instructions, and she flew back in retreat.


    Meanwhile, An Lin turned to face the furious ck dragon. His body was so insignificantly tinypared to the gargantuan dragon, but it was exactly this tiny, yet fearless figure that appeared especially scintiting in everyone’s eyes.


    “Mountain Quaking Lightning…”


    Boom!


    An Lin didn’t even have a chance to unleash his Mountain Quaking Lightning Fist before he was pped into the ground by a gargantuan dragon w.


    The ck dragon didn’t hold his strength back at all. Its w struck An Lin with a mountainous force, leaving a series of spatial cracks in its wake while the residual power tore a massive abyssal fissure into the ground.


    However, An Lin flew back into the air in the blink of an eye before chortling at the ck dragon. “That was piss weak, little ck dragon, could you try a little harder?”


    Cassidy and the others were in the process of rushing to An Lin’s aid, but all of them faltered in their footsteps upon seeing this. Meanwhile, the ck dragon’s face was filled with shock and incredulity. “How could this be…”


    “Roar!”


    It unleashed a st of scorching ck mes toward An Lin, leaving a trail of ck mes in its wake with no end in sight.


    An Lin ced his hands on his hips as he stood on his ck brick without even attempting to dodge.


    The monstrous ck mes knocked him back by over a kilometer, but he remainedpletely unscathed.


    “Ptui! Did you spit out saliva at me or was that fire? There was no temperature to it at all!” An Lin looked at the dragon with a scornful expression.


    ck Dragon: “…”


    Xiao Ze waspletely dumbstruck. How was it possible that this human’s defenses were even more powerful than its own…


    “What are you all standing there for? Kill it!”


    An Lin yelled at Cassidy and the others, who were still in the process of recovering from their incredulity.


    He could only steal the ck dragon’s defensive ability for ten minutes, so he could only pray that his personal army would be able to take care of this ck dragon within the ten-minute time limit.


    Cassidy and the others finally came to their senses as they pounced toward the ck dragon again.


    The ck dragon finally lost all battle intent at the sight of the Return to Void Stage mighty figures charging toward it. It was unable to kill their leader, and its defensive ability had been stolen. If this battle continued any longer, it would fall to an inevitable defeat…


    This was simply far too bizarre…


    How could a Soul Formation Stage human cultivator be so powerful…


    Xiao Ze looked deeply at An Lin, as if it was trying tomit An Lin’s face to its memory.


    “I’ll make you pay for this another time!”


    The ck dragon let loose an enraged roar toward An Lin. Its voice was imbued with the boundless dragon might within its bloodline as a ck sound wave swept toward An Lin with overwhelming force.


    It wasn’t expecting to hurt An Lin with its roar, but it had to at least gain a moral victory over An Lin before it fled the battle!


    An Lin wasn’t nning on taking any evasive measures either. He had the dragon’s ability of absolute defense, so he didn’t need to fear any attacks.


    However, it was at this moment that an unexpected change struck. The ring on his finger, which was glowing with a faint golden light, suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it had been greatly enraged by something.


    Immediately afterward, An Lin’s consciousness stirred, and the projection of a mighty ck dragon appeared under the starry sky. The projection of the dragon was indescribably vast, and all the stars in the sky seemed to lose all their luster upon its emergence, and the golden light emanating from its eyes became the only color in this world.


    Boundless ferocious might engulfed the entire ind, as if the ind would be reduced to nothingness with just a flick of its finger.


    “So it is you that is trying to provoke me?”


    The projection of the ck dragon spoke, and each and every syble it uttered resonated with the dao of heaven and earth, making everyone shudder in awe.


    Xiao Ze was scared sh*tless by the projection of the ck dragon as it knelt down onto the ground before?kowtowing?¹?over and over again. “Senior, it is my fault for not recognizing you. I didn’t mean to offend you; please spare me!”


    The projection was a ck dragon just like Xiao Ze, but the disparity in their dragon mights was like a gigantic dragon towering over a worm; they were simply onpletely different levels. Xiao Ze had been paralyzed by fear, and he could only kowtow incessantly while begging the dragon projection to spare its life.


    The projection of the ck dragon remained silent for a moment before slowly vanishing.


    An Lin experienced a sharp pain in his consciousness, which appeared to be the after-effect of summoning the projection of the ck dragon.


    The stars in the sky regained their luster, but everyone was still frozen in ce as they struggled toe to terms with what they had just witnessed.


    An Lin was also not expecting the ring Yang Yuan had once given him to unleash its power at a time like this. Not only was Xiao Ze scared sh*tless, but everyone else was also paralyzed with fear. None of them dared to say anything in fear of the ck dragon projection killing them with a swipe of its palm.


    Xiao Ze wiped the cold sweat from its forehead with fear lingering in its heart as the ck dragon projection disappeared. It then turned a pair of grateful eyes on An Lin as it kowtowed again. “Thank you for sparing my life, Senior!”


    An Lin: “…”
