If he gave up this time, the Flood Dragon would definitely swallow this Congealing Pearl and this Blessed Paradise would be destroyed as well. Who knows how long it would take to find another water attribute Blessed Paradise.
It wasn't always possible to have this kind of luck.
Therefore, facing the terrifying attack of the Flood Dragon, Lin Hao did not dodge. The Sword Yuan Jindan's energy exploded all over his body, causing the vigorous vital energy and blood to surge violently.
Boom!
The furious attack of the Flood Dragon landed on Lin Hao's body.
An incomparably powerful ripple exploded forth, and the entire bottom of the lake was covered with layers of waves, with a large amount of mud flowing about.
After taking the hit, Lin Hao's body was in unspeakable pain, his skin started to tear and blood was flowing out.
Even so.
His body was like a rock, unmoving.
He had been guarding the Soul the entire time. With his enormous Spiritual Force, he quickly refined the Congealing Pearl in front of him.
At this time, he was one step away from completely refining the Congealing Pearl, and only needed the last sliver to succeed.
The flood dragon's lantern-like eyes also revealed a trace of astonishment.
It had originally thought that with that one attack, it would definitely be able to kill this weak human in front of it to the point where there would be nothing left. However, it absolutely did not think that this human would be able to withstand its attack.
Furthermore, the Flood Dragon could clearly sense that the human in front of it was about to completely refine the Congealing Pearl.
Therefore, the Flood Dragon rushed towards Lin Hao, intending to use that single horn on top of its head to directly pierce through the human's body!
At this moment.
When the Heavenly Marks Sword sensed Lin Hao's situation, it protecting its master, automatically flew out and struck towards the Flood Dragon that was charging towards Lin Hao.
A Flood Dragon's horn was incomparably hard. Although a Flood Dragon's current strength was only that of a Fourth Level, this horn was much harder than most treasures at the fifth step.
"Clang!"
The blade of the sword slashed down on the flood dragon's horn, emitting a clear sound.
The Heavenly Marks Sword, on the other hand, was also at the fifth stage and had a portion of the divine materials.
As a result of this collision, the flood dragon's horn had been cut open.
The Flood Dragon roared angrily and suddenly whipped its tail, hitting the Heavenly Marks Sword on its side and pushing it into the mud at the bottom of the lake.
The Heavenly Marks Sword hummed and once again shot out from the mud, piercing towards the flood dragon's head.
The Flood Dragon opened its mouth and sprayed out. The surrounding lake water suddenly transformed into an incomparably large whirlpool, sucking the Heavenly Marks Sword into the whirlpool.
This vortex contained an extremely strong tearing force, and normal Fourth Level treasures would all be directly torn to shreds. Although it was unable to do anything to the Heavenly Marks Sword's body, it was sufficient enough to prevent the Heavenly Marks Sword from rushing out to protect Lin Hao for a short period of time!
The Flood Dragon once again rushed towards Lin Hao.
This time, it did not believe that the human in front of it could withstand its own strength!
The current Lin Hao.
His expression was calm, and he had already closed his eyes.
There was no sense of danger. His body was covered with a faint glow, as if he had been cut off from the lake, but at the same time, he seemed to have become one with it.
The Flood Dragon had already charged in front of Lin Hao, and that single horn that flickered with a cold light was about to pierce through Lin Hao's head.
Lin Hao's closed eyes, suddenly opened!
Two terrifying rays of light appeared in his eyes.
At this time, he had already completely refined and controlled the Congealing Pearl!
The eyes of the Flood Dragon that was charging towards Lin Hao suddenly revealed incomparable fear, as it abruptly stopped its attack that was rushing towards Lin Hao, and quickly retreated!
"Come back here!"
Lin Hao bellowed, he extended his hand out in the direction in which the dragon was escaping in, and then suddenly grabbed out!
Suddenly, all the water in the lake was pushed towards the flood dragon.
Even if the flood dragon was skilled in water battles and was extremely proficient in controlling the water element, at this moment, it couldn't do anything against the oppressive force that was coming from its surroundings.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The flood dragon's body was soon unable to withstand the oppressive force. Its light black scales exploded one by one, and the blood mist churned. It roared again and again, and its body shook crazily.
"Crash!"
The flood dragon was out of the water.
At this time, it no longer had the courage to attack Lin Hao anymore, and immediately flew towards the exit of this Blessed Paradise.
"Shua!"
Lin Hao rushed out of the lake, and the Heavenly Marks Sword returned to his hands. Currently, he had completely grasped the power of this Blessed Paradise, and all of the Blessed Paradise was in his hands.
Standing on top of the lake, with a thought from Lin Hao, the Heavenly Marks Sword flew out from the bottom of the lake and landed in his hands.
Looking at the fleeing Flood Dragon, Lin Hao snorted coldly and slashed out with his sword.
Instantly, a large amount of water from the lake accompanied Lin Hao's sword as it shot out, transforming into countless swords that shot towards the Flood Dragon.
The sword formed from the lake swirled and blended in the air, finally turning into a hundred meter long Great Sword.
Boom!
This sword strike landed on the flood dragon's body and caused it to fall to the ground. Its body was almost split in half.
The dragon struggled from the ground and continued to fly in the air, the surface of its body exploded with a layer of the misty Blood-Light.
This was a sacred art that had been developed after the evolution of the Flood Dragon's bloodline. It could greatly increase one's battle prowess. However, at this time, it was not used to fight, but to escape.
In the eyes of the flood dragon, the opponent this time was just a weak human who didn't put them in his eyes.
But now, this weak human had taken control of this Blessed Paradise. As long as he was in this Blessed Paradise, this human boy could control everything. Unless he truly had the strength of a Fifth Order warrior, he wouldn't be able to escape the suppression of this Blessed Paradise.
Lin Hao did not continue to chase after the dragon that was escaping with his ability of Secret Method.
Sensing that the Flood Dragon had completely left this Blessed Paradise, Lin Hao took a step out of the air above the lake, traversed several thousand meters, and arrived on the shore.
After landing on the ground, he staggered, and could only insert his Heavenly Marks Sword into the ground to stabilize his body.
Just now, he had forcibly withstood the dragon's furious attack.
His injuries were extremely severe.
He could no longer continue to chase after the flood dragon.
After taking in a deep breath, Lin Hao slowly sat cross-legged and put his Spiritual Force into his storage ring. No matter what kind of Ling Dan medicine, he would take all of them out, refine the energy within, and repair the injuries on his body.
At the same time, the energy within the Blessed Paradise surged towards Lin Hao from all directions, gushing into his body to help him quickly refine the medicinal power!
This was the first time Lin Hao received such a serious injury after he was reborn. However, the day where he could successfully refine this Blessed Paradise into his own was not far from his day of complete control of the The Four Basic Sword Intent. So, the price he paid today was definitely worth it!
"Rumble!"
After spending half a day, the medicinal properties and energy had been completely refined, Lin Hao's injuries had been completely healed, the blood in his body was roaring, and he had become much stronger than before.
Furthermore, other than these, Lin Hao had obtained something else!
After refining the Congealing Pearl and grasping this Blessed Paradise, a fifth pattern vaguely appeared within Lin Hao's Sword Yuan Jindan.
He had just broken through to the fourth level of the Elemental Core Stage not long ago, and now, he was at the critical moment of breaking through to the fourth level of the Fifth Level of Elemental Core Stage!
