"Hmph."
But just as Chu Qing charged forward with his silver spear immortal weapon and the silver giant dragon coiling around him, his momentum unstoppable as he drew close, the Queen let out a soft humph.
That humph was filled with such contempt.
The next moment, Chu Feng noticed that the aura the Queen had unleashed began to undergo a change.
The roars grew more and more piercing, like ten thousand ghosts howling, and under these circumstances, the dark aura also became even more formidable.
"Eggie's aura… it's changed?"
Chu Feng could sense that the Queen's aura was now entirely different. If the Queen before had seemed like an elegant fairy or celestial maiden, then the Queen now was a demon straight from the depths of hell.
No—she was an Asura.
And the dark aura she released was no longer a simple army of thousands upon thousands. It was an army composed of demons.
An army formed from countless demons, converging together with the intent to destroy everything.
ROAAAAR—
Piercing howls rang out ceaselessly, and from within that dark aura, countless enormous hands began to extend outward. Each finger on those massive hands was razor-sharp, as if they sought to tear Chu Qing to shreds.
Under these circumstances, Chu Qing could no longer maintain his unstoppable advance. Even the silver giant dragon he had manifested was being raked and torn by those dark claws, covered in wounds.
Most critically, Chu Qing was already surrounded by the dark claws.
He was at the end of his rope, a cornered beast fighting for its last gasp, struggling with everything he had left.
The silver giant dragon was his final barrier of protection. If that silver dragon shattered, Chu Qing would surely face total annihilation.
"The Asura Spirit Realm truly is remarkable. It seems today… I, Chu Qing, will have to use my full strength as well."
As soon as Chu Qing's words fell, the silver spear in his hand swept through the air, and eight more silver giant dragons burst forth from within his body.
Now there were nine silver giant dragons orbiting around Chu Qing, and his combat power surged once again.
"What kind of technique is this?"
Looking at the nine silver giant dragons circling Chu Qing, Chu Feng's gaze shifted with interest.
He discovered that the technique Chu Qing was using was neither an immortal art nor a martial skill, nor did it resemble a secret technique.
Yet the power of this technique was immensely strong.
So strong, in fact, that it could actually contend against the Queen's amplified dark aura.
"Hmph."
Even so, the Queen remained utterly dismissive. Her beautiful eyes grew sharper and more ruthless with each passing moment.
And under these circumstances, a phantom silhouette began to faintly materialize behind the Queen.
That silhouette was enormous—a massive face. The face was quite blurry, its features indistinguishable, with only two eyes as large and blinding as the midday sun. They were terrifying beyond measure.
Those eyes were simply too horrifying—dark, merciless. They were, without a doubt, the most terrifying eyes Chu Feng had ever seen.
"Asura's Power."
At that moment, the Queen softly uttered four words.
Then the gradually forming giant face dissolved into aura and merged into the Queen's dark energy.
In that instant, not only did the dark aura surge in power once more, but the Queen's own aura intensified yet again.
The Queen had gained another rank of transcendent combat power. Now, her heaven-defying battle strength had reached the sixth rank of transcendence.
At this point, even the nine silver giant dragons orbiting Chu Qing could barely hold on. They were being clawed and slashed by the dark energy's massive talons, covered in wounds and wailing without end.
"You're quite formidable. You really are forcing me to hold nothing back."
Chu Qing smiled faintly, then his sharp brows turned upright, and a look of genuine seriousness appeared in what had previously been gentle eyes.
At that moment, one of Chu Qing's hands gripped the silver spear while the other formed a series of seals. He began chanting a chant that even Chu Feng couldn't understand.
Under these circumstances, Chu Qing's wrist began to glow with a faint silver light.
The silver light grew increasingly intense, eventually transforming into a bracelet formed from nine coiling silver dragons.
The bracelet of nine silver dragons grew larger and larger until it finally separated from Chu Qing's wrist, dispersing and merging into each of the nine silver giant dragons surrounding him.
