Chapter 274: Cand-Dragon’s Breakthrough, Refining the Elemental Essence



"Cand-Dragon?" The crowd was horrified, staring in disbelief at the massive dragon in front of them. Its colossal body stretched for miles, exuding a terrifying aura that made the entire space of the Secret Area tremble faintly.

"Heaven and Earth Transformation!" John muttered, equally shocked as he observed Cand- Dragon, who had now transformed into its original form, growing to an immense size.

John was all too familiar with this aura-it was precisely the Heaven and Earth Transformation he had comprehended from the Immortals' legacy.

He hadn't expected Cand-Dragon to master it as well.

But on second thought, it made sense. Heaven and Earth Transformation was an ability that evolved from the Beast Clan's Overwhelming Battle Energy technique.

Cand-Dragon was a rare genius within the Beast Clan, one in a million, who had also cultivated Overwhelming Battle Energy. With access to the Immortals' legacy, there was a significant chance he would grasp Heaven and Earth Transformation.

What surprised John, however, was that Cand-Dragon had learned it by watching his battle against Blood Moon.

"Godslayer, do you dare to face me in a fight now?" Cand-Dragon's voice thundered, resonating through the heavens. His terrifying aura spread wide, igniting an unbounded fighting spirit.

A grin spread across John's face as he unleashed his own powerful fighting spirit. The last battle had barely satisfied him.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" he replied, taking off his five-colored celestial robe and handing it back to Jolyne.

This treasure was immensely powerful; he didn't want to use it to gain an unfair advantage over Cand-Dragon.

Boom!

He stepped forward, unleashing a fierce aura that clashed instantly with the overwhelming force emanating from Cand-Dragon.

Rumble...

The space around them began to rupture, waves of spatial turbulence swirling in, drawing in a powerful pulling force.

Jolyne gasped in surprise, quickly donning the five-colored celestial robe and retreating in haste.

She could sense that she couldn't withstand the residual energy waves from the two fighters' battle.

Further off, warriors from various clans awoke from their trance, retreating hastily, trying to distance themselves as much as possible from the two.

Boom!

With another thunderous clash, man and dragon charged at each other in a blur, using no special skills, relying solely on raw physical might.

Boom!

The air shook, sending out a violent gale as John's massive figure was hurled backward, while Cand-Dragon was similarly forced to spin through the air. He quickly stabilized, the victor apparent in the clash.

The distant spectators could only feel a buzzing in their heads, nearly fainting from the impact.

"Lord Cand-Dragon is incredible!" Tony, one of the Beast Clan, looked thrilled. Though loyal to John, he still hoped to see Cand-Dragon come out victorious.

Jolyne shot him a disapproving glare.

"Again!" John steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared with excitement as he charged at Cand-Dragon once more.

Boom, boom...

A giant and a massive dragon engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, pure power colliding with no finesse involved.

The space around them shattered, with spatial currents swirling and the battlefield continuously expanding.

The onlookers retreated in fear, desperate to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Boom!

With yet another deafening roar, John's giant body was once again flung backward. Hovering, Cand-Dragon roared, "Godslayer, aren't you going to transform?"

He knew this was far from John's full strength.

John's ultimate form lay in his Heaven and Earth Transformation, his golden divine dragon state.

"Alright!" John realized that his own Heaven and Earth Transformation form alone was no match for Cand-Dragon.

Roar...

A resonant dragon cry echoed through the heavens as golden light flared around John, instantly transforming him into a massive golden divine dragon.

His enormous body now rivaled Cand-Dragon's in size.

The crowd was once again stunned, deeply shaken by John's transformed form.

"A divine dragon bloodline! Is he also a member of the Beast Clan?" Nine-Tails asked in shock, staring at John in his dragon form.

Tony was equally bewildered. He had seen John's Dragon Transformation before, but at that time, John still retained a trace of the Immortals' aura.

Now, however, as this golden divine dragon, John radiated the purest power of the Beast Clan. There wasn't a hint of the Immortals' aura left.

"Godslayer possesses the divine dragon bloodline and has refined the Beast Clan's treasure!" Jolyne approached, gazing up at the black and gold dragons locked in close combat in mid- air, her face full of astonishment.

"That makes sense," Nine-Tails nodded, then smiled with delight, "In that case, the Godslayer could be considered part of the Beast Clan."

Boom!

With another violent collision, both dragons were sent flying backward. The space between them split open, nearly causing the Secret Area to collapse. Wild winds howled as John and Cand-Dragon were engulfed in chaotic space currents.

Clang, clang...

The space currents battered their tough scales, creating sharp, clear sounds upon impact.

The spectators were once again alarmed and retreated to the edges of the Secret Area with nowhere else to go.

"We can't let this fight continue. If the Secret Area shatters, we'll all die!" one person shouted

in terror.

"To witness a battle of this magnitude-maybe it's worth dying for."

"It's a shame, though; we can't protect our Elemental Essence now," another said with regret.

"Protect the Elemental Essence? I just hope the two of them don't decide to wipe us out."

...

The crowd murmured anxiously, their faces full of worry. Witnessing John and Cand-Dragon's terrifying strength had extinguished any thought of resisting.

At this moment, John and Cand-Dragon paused, both halting their attacks.

"Haha, exhilarating!" Cand-Dragon laughed heartily. "Godslayer, let's call it a draw. If we

keep going, this whole Secret Area will collapse."

"Agreed," John nodded, and both of them withdrew from their Heaven and Earth

Transformation forms, returning to their human shapes.

Only then did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly approached them.

"Congratulations to both Lord Godslayer and Lord Cand-Dragon on advancing your strength once again!" they cheered enthusiastically.

Even the demon race's Beelzebub, who had previously harbored ill intentions toward John, was now filled with reverence.

"Enough!" Cand-Dragon interrupted coldly, cutting off the crowd's flattery. He understood their motives well and said calmly, "Hand over your Elemental Essence, and we won't trouble

you."

"Of course. The Elemental Essence rightfully belongs to you two," they replied without hesitation, promptly surrendering their individual elemental essences to Cand-Dragon.

In their hearts, a faint hope lingered: if John and Cand-Dragon fought over the Elemental Essence, perhaps they might have a slim chance of escape.

But that hope was destined to be shattered.

After collecting all the Elemental Essence, Cand-Dragon handed it over to John without

hesitation.

"Godslayer," Jolyne explained, "Once you refine the Elemental Essence, bringing the four basic elements of your body to full 100% enhancement, you'll be able to pass the Guardian Test of Skyline Continent, gain the Heart of Skyline Continent, and become The Overseer."

John nodded in understanding, took the Elemental Essence, and began the refining process

immediately.

Cand-Dragon and his companions stood guard around him, vigilantly eyeing the nearby strong warriors from various clans.

The trial within the Secret Area was not over; only when someone fully refined all the Elemental Essence would they be transported out.

"My lord," Tony leaned in, asking curiously, "Between you and Godslayer, who's stronger?"

He had long been curious about the two's power levels. Their recent clash had been neck and neck, and the space within the Secret Area couldn't handle it, so it had ended inconclusively. Cand-Dragon glanced at John, who was seated in meditation while refining the Elemental Essence, and sighed. "This human is still stronger; the guy hasn't shown all his cards yet." "He's still got cards up his sleeve?" Tony asked, stunned, then feeling lucky. "Good thing I followed Ben's advice back then and chose this human."

Cand-Dragon nodded in agreement. "It's also fortunate for our Beast Clan."

...

John continued to quietly refine the four fundamental Elemental Essences.

The powerful beings from various clans gathered at a distance, waiting patiently for him to

complete the test and leave the Secret Area.

Jolyne, however, appeared a bit anxious, constantly surveying the surroundings, as if worried

about something.

"What's wrong?" Nine-Tails noticed her unease and approached, asking curiously.

"It's nothing," Jolyne replied, shaking her head without elaborating. Nine-Tails assumed she was concerned about the other warriors in the Secret Area and tried

to reassure her. "Don't worry. With us guarding him, they won't dare make a move. As soon as

he finishes refining the Elemental Essence, the trial will end."

Jolyne forced a small smile, nodding in agreement.

But her worries weren't about the others in the Secret Area; it was Sea King who troubled her.

Sea King had ordered her to prevent John from obtaining the Elemental Essence, but she had no intention of following through. She truly wanted to help John.

It wasn't solely because of the Immortals' kindness-she had a deep-seated feeling that this

human could help her find freedom.

John had already gathered all the fundamental Elemental Essences, yet a sense of unease still

gnawed at her.

Sea King was an unfathomable force, and he likely had the means to break into the Secret

Area. Not only was he a peak-level, one-star Overseer, but his power would surpass even Cand-Dragon and John combined.

Now, all she could do was pray that Sea King wouldn't detect anything happening here,

allowing John to smoothly refine all the fundamental Elemental Essence, pass the trial, and

claim the Heart of Skyline Continent.

With John's terrifying talent, becoming The Overseer would mean he could undoubtedly

stand against Sea King.

...

Time ticked by, second by second, as John focused his mind entirely on refining the Elemental

Essence.

...

Notices flashed before him, and John opened his eyes, filled with joy and excitement.

With his body's four foundational elementalizations now maxed out at 100%, he had unexpectedly gained comprehension of four Immortal Art abilities.

Wind Evasion, Earth Evasion, Water Evasion, Fire Evasion-each technique consumed 1,000 spiritual power per second when activated, allowing him to fuse directly into the corresponding element and become immune to that element's damage. Only soul damage remained an exception.
