Draco Meteor!
This killing technique is Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin's trump card, inherited from its strong dragon blood.
Draco Meteor tightly fused earth, fire, and dragon energy inside its body and sent it to high altitude, forming a massive array of burning meteorites capable of ultimate destruction.
Once the meteors landed, half of the Burning Mountain Range would get ruined beyond recognition. Of course, this killing technique is not without price. The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin has consumed its life force to the limit, meaning its death is imminent.
Dugu Bo paled, "Damn, how could the pangolin still have such a trump card?"
"I've overconsumed my spirit energy and mental power and couldn't even run away from those meteors..."
Although Ye Xuelan has healed Dugu Bo to normal condition, she couldn't magically restore his spirit energy and mental power. At most, she could only make them recover faster.
Liu Erlong, Ye Xuelan, and Dugu Xin fell into deathly silence. They literally forced their brains to find a way out of this mutual destruction with their target.
Unfortunately, they couldn't think of anything.
Seeing those fiery meteors felt like death sentences to them.
Han Yuan spread his spiritual powers to the limit and calculated the range of the incoming meteors. He unconsciously snapped his fingers softly as he thought of a method.
Then, he looked at the dispersing thunderclouds.
"Erlong, how hot can you be?" Han Yuan asked Liu Erlong solemnly.
Liu Erlong's mouth twitched as she pinched him, "You brat, what kind of question are you asking in the middle of this tense situation?"
Han Yuan ignored the pinch and asked again, "I mean your fire... How hot can you make it?"
"Can you make massive thunderclouds with your fire?"
"If you can do that, I can destroy those meteors."
"What's exactly your plan, Young Master?" Dugu Bo doesn't want Han Yuan to do something silly.
Han Yuan briefly explained the "ultimate technique" he planned to create and made Dugu Bo and others on the spot. His wild ideas on this are too imaginative for their minds to comprehend.
However, they felt it was possible.
At least Han Yuan's method is better than anything they could think of.
Han Yuan pulled a pill and handed it to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, this pill is called Spirit Burning Pill. It can recover spirit energy and mental power and even enhance them for an hour, but you won't be able to use your power for a month after the effect is over."
"Normally, a normal energy-recovering pill doesn't work on Title Douluo, but this one does."
"I wanted you to use your 'Time Freeze' spirit skills on the meteors to buy us some time."
"This is a gamble-!"
Before Han Yuan could finish speaking, Dugu Bo picked the Spirit Burning Pill and popped it into his mouth like candy.
Crunch~!
"Ooh, amazing~!" He let out a joyful laughter, feeling his spirit energy and mental power returning to normal and even growing three times stronger.
He wiped his lip stubbornly and grinned at Han Yuan, "Young Master, we have no time to speak nonsense. Since you gave me this task, I will trust your decision on this matter."
"Let me stop the meteors for a few moments."
"You guys, focus on cleaning them later!"
After that, Dugu Bo flew to the sky and possessed the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor. His eyes scorched excitedly as he felt Han Yuan's trust weighing his shoulders.
He spread his arms and laughed, "Hahaha, this GRANDDADDY WILL STOP METEORS TODAY!"
"8TH SPIRIT SKILL: TIME FREEZE!"
A green wave burst from Dugu Bo's eyes, enveloping the meteors like a net. Soon, the fiery meteors visibly become slower and even come to a complete stop.
Of course, this is only temporary.
Unfortunately, Dugu Bo's mastery over spiritual power is low. Or he could have just moved the meteors away.
Below, Liu Erlong took a deep breath and quickly turned into a mighty yet noble-looking western dragon with armor made of magma and two red-orange wings of flowing lava.
"7th Spirit Skill: Martial Soul's True Body!"
Liu Erlong rapidly increased her body heat to the limit before releasing a superheated, concentrated dragon breath to the sky, "5th Spirit Skill: Magma Dragon Roar!"
ROAR!
BOOOM!
An orange-red beam hit the sky, creating a cyclone that dragged the scattered thunderclouds back.
Liu Erlong kept discharging her fire breath, even if she had to burn her mouth because this was the only way for them to survive this danger.
ROOOOOOOOOOARR~!
Not far from Liu Erlong, Han Yuan meditated on the ground with Purple Silver Grass covering his body. He's currently perceiving the lightning nature in the air, grasping and molding them to his desire.
He failed continuously, but thankfully, his Purple Silver Grass had the Ultimate Lightning, which helped him tame the lightning.
Kacha! Zzz~!
Han Yuan's skin cracked as the power of heaven and earth became in tune with his lightning mastery. Purple electricity bathed him like crazy, turning him into human lightning.
Ye Xuelan saw this and immediately used her healing skills, supporting Han Yuan with more vitality. She gritted her teeth, "Please be safe, Xiao Yuan."
'Damn it, why am I so weak?' Dugu Xin thought as he watched the valley in frustration, observing the dying Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin for a possible ambush.
They can't be too sure.
Rumble~! Rumble~!
The sound of thunderclaps echoed in the Burning Mountain Range.
Thunderstorms formed, raining the area down.
Cough! Cough!
Liu Erlong deactivated her True Body and coughed a mouthful of blood, feeling how dry her mouth was.
Ye Xuelan waved her hands, sending a healing light to Liu Erlong.
"Thank you..." Liu Erlong gave Ye Xuelan a thankful look.
"We are on the same team." Ye Xuelan smiled gently.
Han Yuan felt the wet sensation on his face and smiled faintly, "Good job, Erlong."
"Your next job is... To kill the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin!"
Liu Erlong stuffed some energy-recovery pills into her healed mouth and replied, "I understand."
"What about you?"
"Are you going to be fine?"
"Don't worry about me. Just focus on your part." Han Yuan replied indifferently.
"Tch, you fucking tsundere." Liu Erlong retorted unhappily.
Han Yuan's mouth twitched, "I'm not a fucking tsundere! Just shut the fuck up, and Go!"
Liu Erlong turned around and glanced at Han Yuan's meditating back with some reluctance. Although they are in a 'tough' situation, this boy never cowers nor even thinks of running away. He straightened his back and became the supporting pillar of the team.
He gave them a reason to have faith.
"Let's do this..." Liu Erlong pulled a black tube-shaped object Han Yuan made for her.
Swoosh!
Liu Erlong jumped down the mountain and descended to the valley, where she would face the 100,000-year-old spirit beast herself.
Ye Xuelan watched Liu Erlong jumping down and wondered, "What is that object?"
"It's a Killing Weapon I made to protect Dao Academy. Its lethality could even kill a Title Douluos if they are not careful." Han Yuan replied while meditating.
"The name of the Killing Weapon is..."
"Humanity's Rage."
Click!
Liu Erlong opened the black tube, revealing a menacing javelin shrouded with an eerie aura. The javelin's tip is red and made of refined tungstens and many other rare minerals before being dipped in Death God's Blood made by Sky Poison Pearl using countless death and yin-attributed spirit beast's essence blood.
Don't underestimate the spirit beast's essence blood, especially with death and corrosive attributes that Han Yuan has refined innumerable times and turned into the size of the cup.
If Heavenly Restriction Dews weaken the target, then Death God's Blood ends it. They are a pair that could even erase one from existence.
Of course, that's just Han Yuan's exaggeration, as he knew his creation only worked in the mortal world.
However, he was confident Death God's Blood was stronger than Tang San's Bodhi Blood!
"Xiao Yuan..." Liu Erlong gripped the lance tightly.
"As expected, you're my..."
Roar!
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin roared at Liu Erlong, "Do you think you can finish me? Puny Human?!"
"DAMN, YOU INTERRUPTING MY THOUGHTS! YES, I CAN FINISH YOU, NOW DIE!" Liu Erlong's eyes burned with aggressiveness as she threw the javelin down with all her might, causing it to tear down the 100,000-year-old spirit beast's defense easily.
...
Rumble!
"System."
"Create a task."
[Please enter your input...]
"I'm betting my life here..."
[Ding! The system has taken your input]
[Please, survive this]
Han Yuan slowly stood up, and his eyes flashed with purple electricity. He bent down and then jumped with all his might, causing a shockwave that washed Ye Xuelan and Dugu Xin.
Even then, Ye Xuelan and Dugu Xin stood still and watched Han Yuan's young figure in the sky.
Han Yuan closed his eyes, "Heaven, Earth, and Human as one."
"Trinity..."
"Fusing my consciousness with the world, allowing me to wield the power of nature."
Unknowingly, Han Yuan has entered a trance. His existence merged with the surroundings, which gave him access to the Douluo Star's heaven and earth's power, though not much.
However, it's more than enough.
RUMBLE!
"Give me your power!" Han Yuan shouted as thunderclouds sent down several lightning strikes, bathing him with pure electricity.
"Ancient Life Transformation - Purple Silver Emperor's Flux Awakening."
"Thunder-Wood Change - Lightning Transformation 1000%."
"Fallen Sacred Growth - Purple Silver Vine Dragon."
Swoosh!
A mass of purple silver grass clumps from Han Yuan's hands and rapidly grows into an eastern dragon over ten meters long. Each part of the dragon's body flickered with electricity.
Roar!
The vine dragon soared to the thunderclouds, attacking and merging with them.
Han Yuan gritted his teeth, "Come on, this is not your limit..."
Then, Han Yuan slowly connected to the natural force of lightning in the atmosphere.
He laughed out loud, "Hahaha~!"
"Thank you."
"I will use this power wisely."
After getting nature to recognize him and taming the lightning energy in the thunderclouds, Han Yuan's body was 'thoroughly' overcharged with electricity. The degree of lightning energy Han Yuan had to endure was much higher, purer, and stronger than his Purple Silver Lightning Mode - Stage 3.
At this very moment, Han Yuan's power has reached a new height.
"Purple Silver Lightning Mode - 4th Stage!"
Han Yuan transformed into a lightning beast, resembling a werewolf, as his body grew taller and became more muscular with fur-like electricity needles. His eyes become pure white due to excessive energy.
"Let's destroy some rocks, shall we?" He kicked the air and soared to the sky while summoning a purple-silver holy spear.
Han Yuan flew past the thunderclouds, but the lightning energy still followed him like a great tide. Countless silver snake-like electricity surged up.
Dugu Bo saw this and chuckled, "Young Master did it..."
Cough!
He coughed a mouthful of blood due to using his 8th spirit skill for too long, but still cheered, "Hehehe, go, Young Master!"
Han Yuan's eyes locked on the suspended meteors in the sky, "Three-Pronged Lightning Blades - Ultimate Form!"
"Thunder God's Spear, Kirin's Killing Horn!"
Han Yuan swung the purple silver holy spear with all his might, directing all the natural force of lightning in his arsenal to form a majestic creature resembling a dragon and deer with a giant purple-silver horn that struck everything in its path.
ZZZT! ZZZT!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
A flicker of lightning passed through the array of meteorites as Kirin roared like a thunderclap. A purple-silver pillar silhouette stayed in the atmosphere for a split second before swallowing all the meteors.
Han Yuan watched this and felt strength leaving his body, "Welp, I'm exhausted..."
He gradually closed his eyes and sighed, not knowing what kind of backlashes he would suffer after this.
"Time to nap."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
