The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 704: Flawless

Proofreader: Papatonks

Roar!

The golden dragon coiled in the air around Ye Lin. The golden flames burned hotter and yet faded with time.

The golden dragon’s huge bulk shrank as it drew closer to Ye Lin. But the dragon did not enter his mind. Instead, it focused on his body, blending with his flesh and spreading through every cell.

With a fashionable golden flame explosion, Ye Lin’s body was covered in a thick dragon scale armor, each individual scale containing the volatile and destructive golden flame.

A mere flick of the wrist and the effect was like the golden dragon whipping his tail, sending a rush of superheated air storming everywhere. Whether it met the mountains, plants, or wildlife, they were all decimated.

[This can’t be…]

Zhuo Fan was shocked to the core. The exalted showed the same reaction as they jumped to their feet. “This is something only a Soul Harmony Stage expert can do, harmonizing body and soul!”

The Soul Harmony Stage was what came after the Ethereal Stage. It allowed one to focus their soul power into their flesh, for soul and body to become one. The body would thus become a natural defense of the soul, keeping it from harm.

In other words, while Ye Lin’s soul was greatly damaged and could no longer fight, by combining it with his body, his soul power could be fully displayed. His body would also protect it from any more harm, completely nulling the effect of Zhuo Fan’s sneak attack through the use of the purple dragon.

Ye Lin was back to when his soul was in its best shape. Moreover, since the soul and body were now one, Ye Lin’s soul and body power combined to make him even stronger. This outcome left Zhuo Fan frowning once more.

[For crying out loud… am I going to fail right at the end? We’re back where we started! No, it’s worse actually, far worse…]

Zhuo Fan clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.

The others gasped in shock at the incredible development.

[What’s going on? An Ethereal Stage expert can use a Soul Harmony Stage’s ability? This is insane!]

Then again, if one would take a simple look at Zhuo Fan, in the Radiant Stage, one would see him using his soul as an Ethereal Stage expert would.

[Gods, these people are aberrations, one more than the other. We’re the normal ones here, yet we can’t hold a candle to them. Ugh, it pisses me off!]

Only Chu Qingcheng and the girls were worried for Zhuo Fan. Seeing the tables turned once more, they held their deep gazes on his figure, hoping for the best.

“Ha-ha-ha, didn’t see that coming did you? A sacred beast’s body is the best, and it becomes flawless when the soul harmonizes with it. As the dragon ancestor’s disciple, this soul harmony skill comes naturally.”

Ye Lin mocked, seeing Zhuo Fan’s shaken face, and grinned, “Now I’m a miniature version of the Decimating Dragon Ancestor. Let’s see you beat me now!”

Ye Lin shot for Zhuo Fan, the powerful golden flames surging into a typhoon. Zhuo Fan could feel the blistering heat before it reached him, practically cooking him alive!

Zhuo Fan squinted, and his face became stern. He made a sign and called the dragon soul to protect him.

A hundred-meter-long savage dragon appeared before Zhuo Fan. The scarlet glow was so strong it struck fear in the average man, containing unspeakable raw power.

Roar!

The Almighty Scarlet Dragon King saw Ye Lin was coming and clawed at the tiny human. A great power pressed on Ye Lin’s shoulder, but Ye Lin only huffed as he spat.

A stream of golden flames covered the dragon, even though it came from a tiny human.

In a flash, the golden flames spread and scorched the dragon until it wailed. Its attack had no chance of continuing because of it.

Ye Lin laughed in contempt.

Zhuo Fan merely smirked, bearing through the piercing headache as he made a sign. The Almighty Scarlet Dragon King turned into the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Dragon King. The black aura around it swallowed the flames, and the pain vanished. Zhuo Fan eased a breath as well.

However, Ye Lin was not about to let all that bashing Zhuo Fan put him through go with just a little singeing, now would he?

And this demonic dragon only knew how to gulp down flames. Other than that, it was pretty much useless. So Ye Lin jumped in front of it and waved his hands, sending thousands of fire motes at it in the form of rain, “Scale Shedding!”

Bang~

The explosions didn’t let up as the demonic dragon was bombarded under the heavy rain of attacks. It wailed in pain and twisted its body.

Zhuo Fan shook and rushed to turn it into the Vaulting Dragon King. The azure flames swallowed all the incoming golden scales and removed the danger.

However, Ye Lin snickered now that the azure dragon was out. It was all this dragon’s fault that pushed him into giving his all and leaving himself open to the purple dragon.

It had to suffer for its transgression!

So to get his sweet vengeance and prove his limitless power to Zhuo Fan for the last time, Ye Lin used a different move.

Ye Lin jumped above the azure dragon’s head and punched down. All the golden flames were gathered in that tiny fist, leaving himself open again.

“Ye Lin, you dare?” Zhuo Fan cried out threateningly.

Ye Lin mocked, “Just watch me! Go ahead, use the purple dragon to attack me! “

Ye Lin’s golden flamed fist smashed down just like the golden dragon claw attack from before.

The powerful golden flames scattered the azure flames on the azure dragon, and it hit its spine, making it howl in pain as it took the entire blow.

But soon, just like before, the azure dragon turned purple, and it clawed at Ye Lin’s chest.

Pa!

The crack of thunder sounded, and Ye Lin’s body was flung away, but not too far. Looking down at his chest and the singed area, he merely dusted it off as he taunted in a condescending tone, “It didn’t even tingle. Your purple lightning is so utterly weak. I just can’t imagine how on earth you even got to hurt the golden dragon the first time…”

Zhuo Fan’s brow shook, and he held his head as it felt like it was splitting.

Ye Lin was different from before. The sneak attack worked last time because the golden dragon’s defenses were down.

While this time, Ye Lin harmonized with his soul, making the body become a shield for the soul. In other words, Ye Lin was flawless. Nothing could harm him now.

Unless, of course, by a powerful attack.

While he could fight for longer against the battle-hungry Ye Lin, and the azure dragon could hold on for longer, but even then, he could not see how he could come on top in this.

He was facing a dead end unless he could breach that tough body of his…

Squinting, Zhuo Fan thought.

[Lucky yours truly comes prepared for anything. As for its effect, that remains to be seen…]

Zhuo Fan went right to it and made a different sign as he jumped on the huge dragon.

Ye Lin started and wondered.

[Soul harmony too?]

However, Zhuo Fan was no orthodox sacred beast inheritor. Soul harmony wasn’t in his bag of tricks.

Pa!

With a flick of the tail, the azure dragon turned and darted through the air further and further… away. Ye Lin froze in shock.

[What the hell?! We’re in the middle of something here, and he bails? How is he even a sacred beast inheritor?]

Then came Zhuo Fan’s enervating taunt, “Ye Lin, the time’s almost up. We’ll settle things next time!”

“So that’s why! The punk knows he can’t fight, so he wants a draw!” Ye Lin figured out his motive and exploded in rage.

In a sacred beast battle, it was all about meeting power with power, not running away from it!

[You had me beaten around like a punching bag, but the second things look tough, you just take off? Do you think it’s that easy?]

Ye Lin went right after him. Zhuo Fan snickered, revealing his evil smile.

Ultimate Clarity Sect’s disciples were worried, “Senior brother Zhuo Fan is a bag full of dirty tricks. It can’t be that junior brother’s going to fall for another, can it? “

“He shouldn’t.”

Wu Qingqiu shook his head, “Junior brother is now without weakness. His earlier trick won’t work again, and the only way to defeat junior brother is by raw power…”
