Chapter 522: Land Changing Explosion.

Chapter 522: Land Changing Explosion.

*SCREECH!*

The absolutely terrifying howl of the Soul Hound reverberated across the whole mountain range after Yasenia blasted the formation into pieces.

The piercing sound was so harsh that a few juniors felt their eardrums pop, losing their hearing momentarily.

Thankfully, this kind of injury was quickly healed with a low-level pill.

"WHY!? WHY DIDN'T OUR AMBUSH WORK!? AHH!! YOU SHOULD ALL DIE FOR YOUR SINS!"

Elder Mao ignored the Soul Hound's laments and shouted. "Take the juniors and escape! We will hold back the Soul Hound until then!"

"HOLD ME BACK!? HAHAHA! SINCE OUR PLAN FAILED, YOU SHOULD ALL PERISH TOGETHER WITH ME!"

While the Soul Hound shrieked these words, all other plant creatures beside it lost their forms and fell dead one after another.

The real reason was the Formation's destruction. However, the reason all of them saw this happen was that the creature's body was inflating as threads of green energy rushed toward it from all around the mountain range.

At first, they didn't know what it was doing. However, after a few seconds, all those who understood had their changes twisted with horror.

*SCREECH!*

The giant monstrosity released an angry piercing screech and suddenly ballooned up.

Without maintaining her usual calmness, Elder Song screamed, horrified. "RUN! IT IS BLOWING UP!"

All seniors picked up their juniors and flashed away at their top speed, even using one-time-use treasures to create distance between them and the Soul Hound's inflating body.

Yasenia swooped down and gathered everyone while using her top speed with her still-enhanced [Sun Dragon Body] activated. She was like a flash of golden light as Andrea, Kali, Evelyn, and even Sierra were swept up by her.

Her limbs carried Sierra while the others were on her back. Although Sierra was an eight-meter-tall wolf, for the twenty-five-meter-tall dragoness, she was small.

Sierra's face was strange. 'I feel like a prey caught by a predator.'

Then, while she prepared to escape, she made a wild turn and swept into her initial crater, using her mouth to bite a large chunk of earth where Tatyana was.

Elder Mao and Elder Song were paying attention and were stunned at that last twist. Elder Song shouted. "LADY YASENIA! RUN FASTER!"

Yasenia nodded and used her top speed enhanced by her [Heavenly Constellation Steps].

Her speed was so fast that she shortened the distance between them and managed to fly right above their head when the explosion happened.

The Elders saw Yasenia's golden dragon body right above them as they escaped, reassuring them.

However, this reassurance only lasted until the explosion happened.

First, a tsunami of light drowned everything, robbing them of their sight.

Like the impact of a kilometric meteor onto the ground, the creature exploded in a nova of annihilation that moved at tremendous speeds. It was many times faster than the escaping people.

Yasenia felt her muscles tense as the feeling of death rushed behind her.

The explosion radius reached tens of kilometers as the heat wave set on fire hundreds of kilometers around it instantly.

Every tree, creature, and hair that wasn't protected by a good enough energy barrier caught fire because of the thermal pulse.

It was not that big of a problem for the escaping cultivators because the seniors' aura could protect them from this.

However, besides them, everything that could catch on fire in hundreds of kilometers in a radius was set on fire.

A second ago, there was a lush forest.

A second later, there was a burning forest.

The colossal explosion of the whole formation's energy exploding erased everything around it as if they were drops of water falling in a hot pan, sizzling away after just an instant.

This erased all clues and everything that happened during that combat, leaving behind an abyssal chasm where a mountain range stood previously.

Naturally, the shockwave of such an explosion was not to be trifled with.

It was so powerful that it was visible as it moved through the air and caught up with Yasenia and the others. 'MOM, YOU WENT TOO FAR!'

Tatyana was in Yasenia's mouth, but she could see everything outside after using some skills. 'Sorry, little treasure. Protect yourself well enough. Dying here would be too silly. Mommy is cheering on you!'

Yasenia cursed with all her soul. 'FUCK!'

The dragoness knew outrunning the shockwave was impossible, so she braced for impact.

First, she made a barrel roll mid-air and released Tatyana from her mouth.

As all her dears and Sierra floated mid-air, Yasenia used her giant wings to surround them all in a protective cocoon created by her body.

Then, Yasenia used [Draconic Full Moon] and [Day and Night: Sky Prison] together with each one of her body-strengthening skills to create a silver sphere around her.

Yasenia's draconic eyes saw the wall of pure pressure arriving, and her pupils thinned to slits.

*BAAAANG!*

Her shields acted like fragile glass after meeting with a hammer, bursting into pieces. Then, the shockwave landed on her body as if a gigantic hand made of pure steel slapped her body. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

Her internal organs constricted, her bones shrieked as they cracked, and her skin and scales split apart.

The dragoness could also feel her wing bones snapping.

They looked around at the desolate scene created by a few tens of kilometers of destruction, and reality sank in on how large the strength gap was with the top powers of this continent.

Yasenia commented as if she didn't hear anything. "Such power. If that explosion had hit me directly, it would have vaporized me."

Below Yasenia's body, Angel and the others were lying on the ground while bleeding heavily because of the recent beating with constipated faces because of the facts they just learned.

Kali muttered. "Don't you care about what you just heard, love?"

Yasenia was confused. "Why would I? Can I do something about it before I reach those strengths? If we have the bad luck to face one of them, let's just use everything at our disposal and fight with no regrets left."

They all blinked twice and smiled. "Right. It's no use to worry about it."

Tatyana nodded with a smile. "People will start emerging from the ground, act injured, girls."

Evelyn muttered. "We are injured. What is there to act?"

Tatyana waved her fist as her lips arched in a sweet smile, making Evelyn shudder.

They all fell onto the ground, Sierra included, and they slowed down their breathing.

A few other mounds of dirt burst open, and the cultivators buried below the aftermath of the explosion began surfacing.
